Organization	Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company"), a Virginia corporation, was formed in 1988 and is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company is headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia and conducts its business activities primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Blue Ridge Bank, National Association (the "Bank") and its wealth and trust management subsidiary, BRB Financial Group, Inc. (the “Financial Group”). The Company exists primarily for the purposes of holding the stock of its subsidiaries, the Bank and the Financial Group. The Bank operates under a national charter and is subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). Consequently, it undergoes periodic examinations by this regulatory authority. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Bureau of Financial Institutions of the Virginia State Corporation Commission, which also periodically conduct examinations of the holding company's activities. As of December 31, 2021, the Bank operated twenty-six full-service banking offices across its footprint, which stretches from the Shenandoah Valley across the Piedmont region through Richmond and into the coastal peninsulas and Hampton Roads region of Virginia and north-central North Carolina. The Company, through the Financial Group, offers management services for personal and corporate trusts, including estate planning, estate settlement and trust administration, insurance products, and investment and wealth management. The Bank’s mortgage banking activities include a retail mortgage business operating as Monarch Mortgage and wholesale mortgage business operating as LenderSelect Mortgage Group ("LenderSelect"). LenderSelect offers wholesale and third-party residential mortgage origination services to other financial institutions and credit unions. The Company, through its minority investment in Hammond Insurance Agency, Inc. (“Hammond Insurance”) offers property and casualty insurance to individuals and businesses. Payroll processing services are offered through the Bank’s majority-owned subsidiary, MoneyWise Payroll Solutions, Inc. ("MoneyWise Payroll"). and employment benefit services are offered under the trade name BluePoint Benefits ("BluePoint Benefits"). On January 31, 2021, the Company completed a merger with Bay Banks of Virginia, Inc. (“Bay Banks”), a bank holding company conducting substantially all its operations through its bank subsidiary, Virginia Commonwealth Bank, and the Financial Group (formerly VCB Financial Group, Inc.). Immediately following the Company’s merger with Bay Banks, Bay Banks’ subsidiary bank was merged with and into the Bank, while the Financial Group became a subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Bay Banks Merger”). In March 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved a three-for-two stock split (“Stock Split”) effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend on the Company’s common stock outstanding paid on April 30, 2021 to shareholders of record as of April 20, 2021. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares based on the closing price of common stock on the record date. References made to outstanding shares or per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and disclosures have been adjusted to reflect the Stock Split for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. On July 14, 2021, the Company and FVCBankcorp, Inc. (“FVCB”) jointly announced they had entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which FVCB would merge with and into the Company in an all-stock merger of equals. On January 20, 2022, the Company and FVCB jointly announced a mutual agreement to terminate their merger agreement. Both the Company and FVCB agreed that each company will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the terminated transaction, and that neither party will pay any termination fee as a result of the mutual decision to terminate the merger agreement. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Bank, the Financial Group, and MoneyWise Payroll (net of noncontrolling interest) and were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Information contained herein as of December 31, 2021 includes the balances of Bay Banks; information contained herein as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 does not include the balances of Bay Banks. Information for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes the operations of Bay Banks for the period immediately following the effective date of the Bay Banks Merger (January 31, 2021) through December 31, 2021. Certain amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations, including the following instances. The reclassifications had no effect on net income, net income per share, or shareholders’ equity, as previously reported. Correction of Immaterial Classification Errors During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company determined that the classification of certain consumer loan balances that had originated through its programs with financial technology (fintech) companies, which had been reported on its consolidated balance sheets as loans held for investment, should have been reported as loans held for sale. The Company has changed the classification of these loans on its December 31, 2020 consolidated balance sheet, which resulted in a $4.7 million decrease from what was previously reported in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K in loans held for investment, with a corresponding increase of $4.7 million in loans held for sale. The change in classification did not affect the Company's reported total assets or earnings as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 on its consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, respectively. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company determined that its 35% investment in Hammond Insurance, which had been reported on its consolidated balance sheets in goodwill and other intangible assets, should have been reported as other assets. Also during the third quarter of 2021, the Company determined that its acquisition of BluePoint Benefits, which had been reported on its consolidated balance sheets in other assets, should have been reported as goodwill. The Company has changed the classification of both investments on its December 31, 2020 consolidated balance sheets. The change in the classification for the investment in Hammond Insurance resulted in a $613 thousand and $341 thousand decrease from what was previously reported in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K in goodwill and other intangible assets, respectively, with a corresponding increase of $954 thousand in other investments as of December 31, 2020. The change in the classification for the investment in BluePoint Benefits resulted in a $340 thousand decrease from what was previously reported in the 2020 Form 10-K in other assets with a corresponding increase of the same amount in goodwill as of December 31, 2020. Neither change in classification for the Company's investment in Hammond Insurance and BluePoint Benefits affected the Company's reported total assets or earnings as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 on its consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations, respectively. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company determined a loan arrangement with a third-party financial institution for the purpose of residential mortgage loan originations, which had been reported on its consolidated balance sheets as loans held for sale, should have been reported as loans held for investment. The Company has changed the classification of this loan on its December 31, 2020 consolidated balance sheet, which resulted in a $30.4 million decrease from what was previously reported in the Company’s 2020 Form 10-K in loans held for sale with a corresponding increase of the same amount in loans held for investment as of December 31, 2020. There were no outstanding loans under this arrangement as of December 31, 2021. The change in classification did not affect the Company’s reported earnings for 2020, the Company does not believe any material allowance for loan losses would have been necessary for this loan as of December 31, 2020, and the Company believes its allowance for loan losses was adequate as of December 31, 2020. This reclassification did not change total loans or total assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluated the effect of the previously noted incorrect presentations, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and concluded that its previously issued financial statements were not materially misstated due to the changes in classification.
