Dear Stockholder,

This past year continued to be a most challenging one for the banking industry, a year filled with an increase in both bank failures and FDIC problem-list banks, which resulted in a depletion of the Deposit Insurance Fund, requiring unprecedented actions from the FDIC in order to restore the fund. The nation’s economy remained mired in a deep recession for most of the year, with unemployment surpassing ten percent, a continued decline in consumer confidence resulting in reduced consumer spending, and sustained stress on the residential mortgage industry, resulting in a decline in real estate values. All of these events had an adverse impact on Botetourt Bankshares, Inc. in 2009.

Your Company recorded net income for the year in the amount of $764,074, a decrease of 36.5% from the previous year’s earnings. Both basic and diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.61 in 2009, compared to $0.97 in 2008. The decline in earnings can be attributed primarily to an increase in FDIC deposit insurance expense during 2009, which amounted to $685,000 for the year, as compared to $143,000 in the prior year. During 2009, banks throughout our nation endured substantial FDIC insurance premium increases as well as an additional special assessment during the year in order to replenish the Deposit Insurance Fund, which was nearly depleted from the increase in bank failures during the year. Additionally, in 2009, the bank’s loan loss provision amounted to $1,790,000, compared to $1,885,000 in 2008. The continued large provision to the reserve for loan losses was appropriate due to an increase in both impaired and non-performing loans, as well as the continued uncertainty of the current economic climate. Actual net charge-offs in 2009 amounted to 0.63% of average total loans, compared to 0.16% of average total loans in 2008.

As a result of the decline in earnings, the quarterly dividend payment to stockholders was reduced to $0.08 per share in November 2009. Your Company’s management and its board of directors recognize the commitment to provide an adequate return on stockholder investment, while at the same time maintaining adequate capital levels which protect the bank’s depositors as well as the Company’s stockholders. This commitment is reflected in the determination of the dividend payment. Both Botetourt Bankshares, Inc. and Bank of Botetourt remain well capitalized according to regulatory standards. The strength of the bank’s capital position allowed the Company to elect not to participate in the U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program in the fourth quarter of 2008. As an alternative capital-raising measure, a dividend reinvestment program was approved by the stockholders at this past year’s annual stockholder meeting and was instituted in the fourth quarter of 2009. The program has been very well-received, with over 28% of stockholders currently participating, and will provide a steady stream of capital for the Company in the coming years.

Total assets at year-end 2009 amounted to $308,534,573, an increase of 4.8% above 2008. Net loans at December 31, 2009 amounted to $259,998,540, an increase of 2.8% above 2008. Total deposits at December 31, 2009 amounted to $279,839,835, an increase of 5.8% from the prior year. Bank of Botetourt continued to hold the largest market share of deposits of all financial institutions located in Botetourt County, Virginia and gained market share in the three other counties in which our retail offices are located.

In June 2009, Botetourt Bankshares, Inc. was again recognized as one of the top performing community banks in the country by U.S. Banker magazine, ranking 179th among over 1,100 publicly traded financial institutions in the United States, based on a three-year average return on equity. The recognition underscores the strong shareholder value of the Company as well as employee commitment and customer loyalty.

The economic outlook for 2010 remains uncertain at best, although there are signs that economic recovery is underway, especially when observing positive gross domestic product trends in the third and fourth quarters of 2009. However, a full economic recovery will only be sustained with improvement in the employment situation. Both the national and local unemployment rates remain well above normal levels, and a recovery in the housing sector has yet to happen. Inflation appears to be under control, in spite of the massive deficit spending by Congress and injections of reserves into the financial system. As a result, interest rates remain at historic low levels. Despite the many challenges facing the banking industry, your Company is confident that these turbulent times will pass and that both the Company and our nation will be stronger as a result of this experience.

Your Company’s management team and your board of directors remain committed to “Taking Care of You,” the Company’s mission of professionally and personally serving our customers, employees, stockholders and communities. Thank you for your continued support of Botetourt Bankshares, Inc. and community banking.

Sincerely,

H. Watts Steger, III Chairman & CEO

G. Lyn Hayth, III

President, Bank of Botetourt
