Part I
Business

General

First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (BancShares) was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on August 7, 1986, to become the holding company of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (FCB), its banking subsidiary. FCB opened in 1898 as the Bank of Smithfield, Smithfield, North Carolina, and later became First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company. As of December 31, 2010, FCB operated 377 offices in North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Washington, California, Florida and Washington, DC.

On April 28, 1997, BancShares launched IronStone Bank (ISB), a federally-chartered thrift institution that originally operated under the name Atlantic States Bank. Initially, ISB operated in the counties surrounding Atlanta, Georgia, but gradually expanded into other high-growth markets in urban areas throughout the southeastern and western United States. At December 31, 2010, ISB had 58 offices in Georgia, Florida, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. The financial results and trends of ISB reflect the impact of the de novo nature of its growth. Refer to Note T—Segment Disclosures in the Notes to BancShares’ audited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional financial disclosures on FCB and ISB, including summary income statements and balance sheet information.

On January 7, 2011, ISB was merged into FCB resulting in a single banking subsidiary of BancShares.


Prior to 2009, we focused on organic growth, delivering our products and the combined entity now operates under theservices to customers through de novo branch expansion. Beginning in 2009, leveraging on our strong capital and liquidity positions, we participated in six FDIC-assisted transactions involving distressed financial institutions. These transactions allowed FCB charter. Branchesto enter new markets and expand its presence in other markets. A summary of the former ISB continue to operate under the name IronStone Bank, which is now a division of FCB.

During 2010 FCB purchased substantially all the assets and assumed substantially all the liabilities of First Regional Bank (First Regional) and Sun American Bank (SAB) from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), as Receiver of those two banks, under agreements which included loss share arrangements which protect FCB from losses on covered loans and other real estate owned up to stated limits. First Regional operated eight banking branches in southern California. SAB operated 12 banking branches in Florida. Those branches now operate as banking branches of FCB. In connection with its acquisitions of First Regional and SAB, FCB measured all assets and liabilities at fair value, and recorded loans of $1.26 billion and $290.9 million, total assets of $1.76 billion and $499.3 million, deposits of $1.29 billion and $420.0 million, and total liabilities of $1.65 billion and $503.5 million, respectively. The two transactions resulted in bargain purchase gains in 2010 of $107.7 million and $27.8 million, respectively. Additional information regarding the two 2010 FDIC-assisted transactions is containedprovided in Management’sTable 3 of Management's Discussion and AnalysisAnalysis.


As of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note B to BancShares’ audited consolidated financial statements.

During 2009December 31, 2013, FCB purchased substantially all the assets and assumed substantially all the liabilities of Temecula Valley Bank (TVB) and Venture Bank (VB) from the FDIC, as Receiver of those two banks, under agreements which included loss share arrangements which protect FCB from losses on covered loans and other real estate owned up to stated limits. TVB operated 11 banking397 branches in North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, Washington, California, primarily within the San Diego, California areaFlorida, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and the Temecula Valley area east of San Diego. Venture operated 18 banking branches in the Seattle/Olympia, Washington, area. In connection with its acquisitions of TVB and VB, FCB measured all assets and liabilities at fair value, and recorded loans of $855.6 million and $457.0 million, total assets of $1.11 billion and $795.2 million, deposits of $965.4 million and $709.1 million, and total liabilities of $1.05 billion and $766.5 million, respectively. The TVB and VB transactions resulted in bargain purchase gains in 2009 of $56.4 million and $48.0 million, respectively.

Prior to the 2011 merger of FCB and ISB, BancShares conducted its banking operations through its two separately chartered wholly-owned subsidiaries, FCB and ISB. Following the merger, all banking operations are conducted by FCB, including the branches that continue to operate under the IronStone Bank name. WithDC.

Your Family First was developed for financially-active families, while the Your Venture First package was developed for small business and retail customers, ISB has focused primary attention on business customers, providing retail banking services on a limited basis. No significant change in ISB’s business banking focus is anticipated in the near future.

However, we also provide customers with access to our products and services throughnetwork as well as online banking, telephone banking, mobile banking and through various ATM networks.

Prior to the 2011 merger of FCB and ISB, FCB was BancShares’ largest banking subsidiary with 88.0 percent of BancShares’ consolidated deposits as of December 31, 2010.

FCB’s primary deposit markets are North Carolina and Virginia. FCB’s deposit market share in North Carolina was 5.73.7 percent as of June 30, 20102013, based on the FDIC Deposit Market Share Report. Based on this ranking of deposits,Report, which makes FCB was the fourth largest bank in North Carolina. The three banks larger than FCB based on deposits in North Carolina as of June 30, 2010,2013, controlled 63.379.1 percent of North Carolina deposits.

In Virginia, FCB was the 17th18th largest bank with a June 30, 20102013, deposit market share of 0.6 percent. The sixteen17 larger banks represent 81.884.4 percent of total deposits in Virginia as of June 30, 2010. At December 31, 2010,2013.

ISB’sthe percentage of our deposits represent 12.2 percent of BancShares’ consolidated depositsby state as of December 31, 2010. Due to ISB’s focus on urban areas with many financial service providers, ISB’s market share in each of the states in which it operates is less than one percent. At December 31, 2010, ISB had 15 branches in Georgia, 13 branches in Florida, 9 branches in California, 7 branches in Texas, 3 branches in Colorado, 2 branches in each of Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon and Oklahoma, and 1 branch each in Kansas, Missouri and Washington.

FCB and ISB seekseeks to meet the needs of both consumersindividuals and commercial entities in their respectiveits market areas. Their services,Services offered at most offices include taking of deposits, cashing of checks and providing for individual and commercial cash needs; numerous checking and savings plans; commercial, business and consumer lending; a full-service trust department; and other activities incidental to commercial banking. BancShares’FCB’s wholly-owned subsidiary, First Citizens Investor Services, Inc. (FCIS), provides various investment products including annuities, discount brokerage services and third-party mutual funds to customers.customers primarily through the bank's branch network. Other subsidiaries are not material to BancShares’ consolidated financial position or to consolidated net income.


In prior years, FCB provided processing and operational services to other banks. The scope of these services declined in 2012 due to client bank attrition, merger transactions involving client banks, and the conversion of certain clients to different systems, resulting in reduced revenues. In early 2013, we elected to sell nearly all processing service relationships to another servicer. Although we will continue to provide processing services to our largest client bank, the revenues generated from all other client banks significantly declined during 2013.
The financial services industry is highly competitive and the ability of non-bank financial entities to provide services previously reserved for commercial banks has intensified competition. Traditional commercial banks are subject to significant competitive pressure from multiple types of financial institutions. This competitive pressure is perhaps most acute in the wealth management and payments arenas. Non-banks and other diversified financial conglomerates have developed powerful and focused franchises, which have eroded traditional commercial banks’ market share of both balance sheet and fee-based products. As the banking industry continues to consolidate, the degree of competition that exists in the banking market will be affected by the elimination of some regional and local institutions. Mergers, continued asset quality challenges, capital shortages, fallout of a global economic recession and resulting bank failures will also have a profound impact on the competitive environment.


At December 31, 2010,2013, BancShares and its subsidiaries employed a full-time staff of 4,4214,482 and a part-time staff of 714393 for a total of 5,1354,875 employees.

Throughout its history, the operations of BancShares have been significantly influenced by descendants of Robert P. Holding, who came to control FCB during the 1920s. Robert P. Holding’s children and grandchildren have served as members of the board of directors, as chief executive officers and in other executive management positions and, since our formation in 1986, have remained shareholders controlling a large percentage of our common stock since BancShares was formed in 1986.

Regulatory Considerations

The business and operations of BancShares FCB and prior to the January 7, 2011 merger, ISBFCB are subject to significant federal and state governmental regulation and supervision. BancShares is a financial holding company registered with the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. It is subject to supervision and examination by, and the regulations and reporting requirements of, the FRB.

FCB is a state-chartered bank, subject to supervision and examination by, and the regulations and reporting requirements of, the FDIC and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks. Prior to the merger, ISB operated as a federally-chartered thrift institution supervised by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). Deposit obligations are insured by the FDIC to the maximum legal limits.

The various

Various regulatory authorities supervise all areas of FCBBancShares' and prior to the merger, ISB,FCB's business including reserves, loans, allowances for loan and lease losses, mergers and acquisitions, the payment of dividends, various compliance matters and other aspects of theirits operations. The regulators conduct regular examinations, and the banking subsidiariesBancShares and FCB must furnish periodic reports to theirits regulators containing detailed financial and other information regarding their affairs.

information.

Numerous statutes and regulations apply to and restrict the activities of FCB, including limitations on the ability to pay dividends, capital requirements, reserve requirements, deposit insurance requirements and restrictions on transactions with related parties.persons and entities controlled by related persons. The impact of these statutes and regulations is discussed below and in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, Bank regulatory agencies approved new global regulatory capital guidelines (Basel) aimed at strengthening existing capital requirements for bank holding companies through a combination of higher minimum capital requirements, new capital conservation buffers and more conservative definitions of capital and balance sheet exposure. When fully implemented in January 2019, the minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets will increase to 4.5 percent and a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets will be applied, yielding a 7 percent required capital ratio. Basel also raises the minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4 percent to 6 percent and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4 percent.
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) was signed into law. The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act resulted in expansive changes in many areas affecting the financial services industry in general and BancShares in particular. The legislation provides broad economic oversight, consumer financial services protection, investor protection, rating agency reform and derivatives regulatory reform. Various corporate governance requirements have resulted in expanded proxy disclosures and shareholder rights. Additional provisions address the mortgage industry in an effort to strengthen lending practices. Deposit insurance reform has resulted in permanent FDIC protection for up

5



to $250,000 of deposits and requires the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund to maintain 1.35 percent of insured deposits, with the burden for closing the shortfall falling to banks with more than $10 billion in assets.
The Dodd-Frank Act required that banks with total assets in excess of $10 billion establish an enterprise-wide risk committee consisting of members of its board of directors. At its July 2013 meeting, the board of directors established a Risk Committee that provides oversight of enterprise-wide risk management. With board oversight, the Risk Committee establishes risk appetite and supporting tolerances for credit, market and operational risk and ensures that risk is managed within those tolerances. The Risk Committee also monitors compliance with laws and regulations, reviews the investment securities portfolio to ensure that portfolio returns are managed within market risk tolerance, and monitors our legal activity and associated risk.
The Dodd-Frank Act also mandated that stress tests be developed and performed to ensure that financial institutions have sufficient capital to absorb losses and support operations during multiple economic and bank scenarios. Bank holding companies with total consolidated assets between $10 billion and $50 billion, including BancShares, will undergo annual company-run stress tests. As directed by the Federal Reserve, summaries of BancShares’ results in the severely adverse stress tests will be available to the public starting in June 2015. Through the stress testing program that has been implemented, BancShares and FCB will comply with current regulations. The results of stress testing activities will be considered by our Risk Committee in combination with other risk management and monitoring practices to maintain an effective risk management program.
Mortgage reform rules mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act became effective in January 2014 and require lenders to make a reasonable, good faith determination of a borrower's ability to repay any consumer credit transaction secured by a dwelling and to limit prepayment penalties. Increased risks of legal challenge, private rights of action and regulatory enforcement activities are presented by these rules. BancShares implemented the required systems, process, procedural and product changes prior to the effective dates of the new rules. We have modified our underwriting standards to ensure compliance with the ability to repay requirements. Historical performance and conservative underwriting of impacted loan portfolios mitigates the risks of non-compliance.
In response to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC significantly raised the formula used to calculate the FDIC insurance assessment paid by each FDIC-insured institution. The new formula was effective April 1, 2011, and changed the assessment base from deposits to total assets less equity, resulting in larger assessments to banks with large levels of non-deposit funding. The revised assessment formula considers the level of higher-risk consumer loans and higher-risk commercial and industrial loans and securities, treating them as risk factors that may result in incremental insurance costs. Reporting of these assets under the final definitions was effective April 1, 2013. The new reporting requirement required BancShares to implement process and system changes to identify and report these higher-risk assets, but did not have an immediate material impact on the FDIC insurance assessment paid by or the operating results of BancShares.
The Dodd-Frank Act also imposed new regulatory capital requirements for banks that will result in the disallowance of qualified trust preferred capital securities as tier 1 capital. As of December 31, 2013, BancShares had $93.5 million in trust preferred capital securities that were included in tier 1 capital. Based on the Inter-Agency Capital Rule Notice, 75 percent, or $70.1 million of BancShares' trust preferred capital securities will be excluded from tier 1 capital beginning January 1, 2015, with the remaining 25 percent, or $23.4 million excluded beginning January 1, 2016.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX Act) mandated important new corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure requirements intended to enhance the accuracy and transparency of public companies’ reported financial results. The SOX Act established new responsibilities for corporate chief executive officers, chief financial officers and audit committees, and it created a new regulatory body to oversee auditors of public companies. The SOX Act also mandated new enforcement tools, increased criminal penalties for federal mail, wire and securities fraud, and created new criminal penalties for document and record destruction in connection with federal investigations. Additionally, the SOX Act increased the opportunity for private litigation by lengthening the statute of limitations for securities fraud claims and providing new federal corporate whistleblower protection.
The SOX Act required various securities exchanges, including the NASDAQ Global Select Market, to prohibit the listing of the stock of an issuer unless that issuer maintains an independent audit committee. In addition, the securities exchanges imposed various corporate governance requirements, including the requirement that various corporate matters (including executive compensation and board nominations) be approved, or recommended for approval by the issuer’s full board of directors, by directors of the issuer who are “independent” as defined by the exchanges’ rules or by committees made up of “independent” directors. Since BancShares’ Class A common stock is a listed stock, BancShares is subject to those provisions of the Act and to corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The economic and operational effects of the SOX Act on public companies, including BancShares, have been and will continue to be significant in terms of the time, resources and costs required to achieve compliance.

The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Patriot Act) was enacted to strengthen the ability of United States law enforcement and the intelligence community to work cohesively to combat terrorism. The Patriot Act contained sweeping anti-money laundering
and financial transparency laws which required various new regulations, including standards for verifying customer identification at account opening and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering. The Patriot Act required financial institutions to adopt new policies and procedures to combat money laundering and granted the Secretary of the Treasury broad authority to establish regulations and impose requirements and restrictions on financial institutions’ operations.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act) adopted by Congress during 1999 expanded opportunities for banks and bank holding companies to provide services and engage in other revenue-generating activities that previously were prohibited to them. The GLB Act permitted bank holding companies to become “financial holding companies” and expanded activities in which banks and bank holding companies may participate, including opportunities to affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies. During 2000, BancShares became a financial holding company.

company during 2000.


Under Delaware law, BancShares is authorized to pay dividends declared by its Board of Directors, provided that no distribution results in its insolvency. The ability of FCB to pay dividends to BancShares is governed by North Carolina statutes and rules and regulations issued by regulatory authorities. Under federal law, and as an insured bank, FCB is prohibited from making any capital distributions, including paying a cash dividend, if it is, or after making the distribution it would become, “undercapitalized” as that term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA).

BancShares is required to comply with the capital adequacy standards established by the FRB, and FCB is subject to capital adequacy standards established by the FDIC. The FRB and FDIC have promulgated risk-based capital and leverage capital guidelines for determining the adequacy of the capital of a bank holding company or a bank, and allbank. All applicable capital standards must be satisfied for a bank holding company or a bank to be considered in compliance with these capital requirements.


Current federal law establishes a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized banks. Under this system, the FDIC has established five capital categories (“well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized,” and “critically undercapitalized”). The FDIC is required to take certain mandatory supervisory actions, and is authorized to take other discretionary actions, with respect to banks in the three undercapitalized categories.

Under the FDIC’s rules implementing the prompt corrective action provisions, an insured, state-chartered bank that has a total capital ratio of 10.0 percent or greater, a tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0 percent or greater, a leverage ratio of 5.0 percent or greater and is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive issued by the FDIC, is considered to be “well-capitalized.” As of December 31, 2010,2013, FCB is well-capitalized, and FCB will remain well capitalized following its merger with ISB.

well-capitalized.

Under regulations of the FRB, all FDIC-insured banks must maintain average daily reserves against their transaction accounts. Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or in an account at a Federal Reserve Bank or with a qualified correspondent bank, the effect of the reserve requirement is to reduce the amount of the Banks’FCB's assets that are available for lending or other investment activities.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (FDIRA), the FDIC uses a risk-based assessment system to determine the amount of a bank’s deposit insurance assessment based on an evaluation of the probability that the deposit insurance fund (DIF) will incur a loss with respect to that bank. The evaluation considers risks attributable to different categories and concentrations of the bank’s assets and liabilities and other factors the FDIC considers to be relevant, including information obtained from the bank’s federal and state banking regulators.

The FDIC is responsible for maintaining the adequacy of the DIF, and the amount paid by a bank for deposit insurance is influenced not only by the assessment of the risk it poses to the DIF, but also by the adequacy of the insurance fund to cover the risk posed by all insured institutions. FDIC insurance assessments could be increased substantially in the future if the FDIC finds such an increase to be necessary in order to adequately maintain the DIF. A rate increase and special assessment was imposed on insured financial institutions in 2009 due to the high level of bank failures, and the elevated rates continued during 2010. Under the provisions of the FDIRA, the FDIC may terminate a bank’s deposit insurance if it finds that the bank has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated applicable laws, regulations, rules, or orders.

With respect to purchasedacquired loans and other real estate that are subject to various loss share agreements, the FDIC also has responsibility for reviewing and approving various reimbursement claims we submit for losses or expenses we have incurred in conjunction with the resolution of acquired assets.

FCB is subject to the provisions of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act, which places limits on the amount of certain transactions with affiliate entities. The total amount of transactions with a single affiliate is limited to 10 percent of capital and surplus and, for all affiliates, to 20 percent of capital and surplus. EachCertain of the transactions among affiliates must also meet specified collateral requirements and must comply with other provisions of Section 23A designed to avoid transfers of low-quality assets between affiliates. FCB is also subject to the provisions of Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which, among other things, prohibits the above and certain other transactions with affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies.

The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Patriot Act) is intended to strengthen the ability of United States law enforcement and the intelligence community to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The Patriot Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws which required various new regulations, including standards for verifying customer identification at account opening, and rules to promote cooperation among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering. The Patriot Act has required financial institutions to adopt new policies and procedures to combat money laundering, and it grants the Secretary of the Treasury broad authority to establish regulations and impose requirements and restrictions on financial institutions’ operations.


Under the Community Reinvestment Act, as implemented by regulations of the federal bank regulatory agencies, an insured bank has a continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with its safe and sound operation,banking practices, to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods.

TheSarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX Act) mandated important new corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure requirements intended to enhance the accuracy and transparency of public companies’ reported financial results. It established new responsibilities for corporate chief executive officers, chief financial officers and audit committees in the financial reporting process, and it created a new regulatory body to oversee auditors of public companies. The SOX Act also mandated new enforcement tools, increased criminal penalties for federal mail, wire and securities fraud, and created new criminal penalties for document and record destruction in connection with federal investigations. Additionally, the SOX Act increased the opportunity for private litigation by lengthening the statute of limitations for securities fraud claims and providing new federal corporate whistleblower protection.

The SOX Act requires various securities exchanges, including The NASDAQ Global Select Market, to prohibit the listing of the stock of an issuer unless that issuer maintains an independent audit committee. In addition, the securities exchanges have imposed various corporate governance requirements, including the requirement that various corporate matters (including executive compensation and board nominations) be approved, or recommended for approval by the issuer’s full board of directors, by directors of the issuer who are “independent” as defined by the exchanges’ rules or by committees made up of “independent” directors. Since BancShares’ Class A common stock is a listed stock, BancShares is subject to those provisions of the Act and to corporate governance requirements of The NASDAQ Global Select Market. The economic and operational effects of the SOX Act on public companies, including BancShares, have been and will continue to be significant in terms of the time, resources and costs required to achieve compliance.

During 2008, in response to widespread concern about weakness within the banking industry, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act was enacted, providing expanded insurance protection to depositors. In addition, the U.S. Treasury created the TARP Capital Purchase Program to provide qualifying banks with additional capital. The FDIC created the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP), which allowed banks to purchase a guarantee for newly-issued senior unsecured debt and provided expanded deposit insurance benefits to certain noninterest-bearing accounts. Due to our strong capital ratios, we did not apply for additional capital under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. We also did not participate in the TLGP debt guarantee program, but did elect to participate in the TLGP expansion of deposit insurance. We continued to participate in the expanded deposit insurance program during the extensions to the program that were offered.

On July 21, 2010, theDodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act implements far-reaching regulatory reform. Some of the more significant implications of the Dodd-Frank Act are summarized below:

Established centralized responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, responsible for implementing, examining and enforcing compliance with federal consumer financial laws;

Established the same leverage and risk-based capital requirements that apply to insured depository institutions to most bank holding companies;

Required financial holding companies to be well-capitalized and well managed as of July 21, 2011; bank holding companies and banks must also be both well-capitalized and well managed in order to acquire banks located outside their home state;

Disallowed the ability of banks and holding companies to include trust preferred securities as tier 1 capital; this provision will be applied over a three-year period beginning January 1, 2013;

Changed the assessment base for federal deposit insurance from the amount of insured deposits to consolidated assets less tangible capital;

Eliminated the ceiling on the size of the DIF and increased the floor on the size of the DIF;

Required large, publicly traded bank holding companies to create a board-level risk committee responsible for the oversight of enterprise risk management;

Required implementation of corporate governance revisions, affecting areas such as executive compensation and proxy access by shareholders;

Established a permanent $250,000 limit for federal deposit insurance protection, increased the cash limit of Securities Investor Protection Corporation protection from $100,000 to $250,000 and provided unlimited federal deposit insurance protection until December 31, 2012 for noninterest-bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions;

Repealed the federal prohibition on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts;

Amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer;

Increased the authority of the Federal Reserve to examine financial institutions including non-bank subsidiaries.

Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact to financial institutions and consumers. Provisions in the legislation that affect the payment of interest on demand deposits and interchange fees are likely to increase the costs associated with deposits as well as place limitations on certain revenues those deposits may generate.

Provisions within the Dodd-Frank Act related to the disallowance of our ability to include trust preferred securities as tier 1 capital will affect our capital ratios beginning in 2013. At December 31, 2010, BancShares had $265.0 million of trust preferred securities outstanding. Beginning in 2013 and continuing in each of the following two years, one-third or $88.3 million of the trust preferred securities will be disallowed from tier 1 capital. Elimination of the full $265.0 million of trust preferred securities from the December 31, 2010 capital structure would result in a proforma tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.93 percent, a proforma tier 1 risk-based ratio of 12.83 percent and a proforma total risk-based ratio of 14.91 percent. Although these are significant decreases from the amounts reported as of December 31, 2010, BancShares would continue to remain well-capitalized under current regulatory guidelines.

Item 1A. Risk Factors


The risks and uncertainties that management believes are material are described below. Before making an investment decision, these risks and uncertainties should be carefully considered together with all of the other information included or incorporated herein by reference. The risks listed are not the only risks that BancShares faces. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not currently known or that management does not currently deem to be material could also have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, the results of our operations or our business. If thissuch risks and uncertainties were to occur,become reality or the likelihood of those risks were to increase, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.

Unfavorable economic conditions could adversely affect our business

Our

BancShares’ business is highly affected bysubject to periodic fluctuations based on national, regional and local economic conditions. These conditionsfluctuations are not predictable, cannot be predicted or controlled, and may have a material adverse impact on ourBancShares’ operations and financial condition. Unfavorable economic developments including increases in unemployment rates, decreases in real estate values, rapid changes in interest rates, higher loan defaultBancShares’ banking operations are locally oriented and bankruptcy rates, and various other factors could weaken the national economycommunity-based. Accordingly, BancShares expects to continue to be dependent upon local business conditions as well as conditions in the economies of specific communities that we serve. Weakness in our market areas, continuation or deepening of current weak economic conditions, or a prolonged recovery could depress our earnings and financial condition because borrowers may not be able to repay their loans, collateral values may fall, and loans that are currently performing may become impaired.

Instability in real estate markets may create significant credit costs

Disruption in residential housing markets including reduced sales activity and falling market prices have adversely affected collateral values and customer demand, particularly with respect to our operations in southern California, Atlanta, Georgia and southwest Florida. With a significant percentage of total loans secured by real estate, instability inlocal residential and commercial real estate markets it serves. Unfavorable changes in unemployment, real estate values, interest rates and other factors, could weaken the economies of the communities BancShares serves. Weakness in BancShares’ market area could have an adverse impact on our earnings, and consequently our financial condition and capital adequacy.

Weakness in real estate markets and exposure to junior liens have adversely impacted our business and our results of operations and may continue to do so
Real property collateral values have declined due to weaknesses in real estate sales activity. That risk, coupled with delinquencies and losses on various loan products caused by high rates of unemployment and underemployment, has resulted in losses on loans that, while adequately collateralized at the time of origination, are no longer fully secured. Our continuing exposure to under-collateralization is concentrated in our non-commercial revolving mortgage loan portfolio. Approximately two-thirds of the revolving mortgage portfolio is secured by junior lien positions and lower real estate values for collateral underlying these loans has, in many cases, caused the outstanding balance of the senior lien to exceed the value of the collateral, resulting in a junior lien loan that is in effect unsecured. A large portion of our losses within the revolving mortgage portfolio has arisen from junior lien loans due to inadequate collateral values.

Further declines in collateral values, unfavorable economic conditions and sustained high rates of unemployment could result in higher credit losses if customers defaultgreater delinquency, write-downs or charge-offs in future periods, which could have a material adverse impact on loans that, as a resultour results of lower property values, are no longer adequately collateralized. The weak real estate markets could also affect our ability to sell real estateoperations and capital adequacy.

Accretion of fair value discountsassets may result in volatile interest income and net interest income

earnings volatility

Fair value discounts that are recorded at the time an asset is acquired are accreted into interest income based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The rate at which those discounts are accreted is unpredictable, the result of various factors including unscheduled prepayments and credit quality improvements that resultimprovements. Post-acquisition deterioration results in the recognition of provision expense and allowance for loan and lease losses. Additionally, the income statement impact of adjustments to the indemnification asset may occur over a reclassification from nonaccretableshorter period of time than the adjustments to accretable with prospective accretion into interest income.

Fair value discount accretion, post-acquisition impairment and adjustments to the indemnification asset may result in significant volatility in our earnings. Volatility in earnings could unfavorably influence investor interest incomein our common stock thereby depressing the market value of our stock and net interest income.

To the extent that the changes in interest income and net interest income are attributable to improvements in credit qualitymarket capitalization of acquired loans, there will generally be a proportionate adjustment to the FDIC receivable that will be offset by an entry to noninterest income.

Reimbursements under loss share agreements are subject to FDIC oversight

With respect and interpretation and contractual term limitations

The FDIC-assisted transactions include loss share agreements that provide significant protection to the 2010 and 2009 acquisitions,FCB from the exposures to prospective losses on certain assetsassets. Generally, losses on single family residential loans are covered underfor ten years. All other loans are generally covered for five years. During the third quarter of 2014, loss share agreements withprotection will expire for non-single family residential loans acquired from Temecula Valley Bank and Venture Bank. During the FDIC. Thesefirst quarter of 2015, loss share protection will expire for non-single family residential loans acquired from First Regional Bank and Sun American Bank. Protection for all other covered assets extends beyond December 31, 2015.

The loss share agreements impose certain obligations on us, including obligations to manage covered assets in a manner consistent with prudent business practices and in accordance with the procedures and practices that inwe customarily use for assets that are not covered by loss share agreements. We are required to report detailed loan level information and file requests

for reimbursement of covered losses and expenses on a quarterly basis. In the event of noncompliance, could result in the delay or disallowance of some or all of our rights under those agreements. Requestsagreements could occur, including the denial of reimbursement for reimbursementlosses and related collection costs. Certain loss share agreements contain contingencies that require that we pay the FDIC in the event aggregate losses are less than a pre-determined amount.

Loans and leases covered under loss share agreements represent 7.8 percent of total loans and leases as of December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, we expect to receive cash payments from the FDIC totaling $38.4 million over the remaining lives of the respective loss share agreements, exclusive of $109.4 million we will owe the FDIC for settlement of the contingent payments.

The loss share agreements are subject to differing interpretations by the FDIC review and FCB and disagreements may arise regarding coverage of losses, expenses and contingencies. Additionally, losses that are currently projected to occur during the loss share term may not occur until after the expiration of the applicable agreement and those losses could have a material impact on results of operations in future periods. The carrying value of the FDIC receivable includes only those losses that we project to occur during the loss share period and for which we believe we will receive reimbursement from the FDIC at the applicable reimbursement rate.

Merger integration may be delayeddisruptive

On January 1, 2014, 1st Financial Services Corporation (1st Financial) was merged into FCB. During the second quarter of 2014, FCB will convert the 1st Financial systems to FCB systems. Complications in the conversion of operating systems, data processing systems and products may result in the loss of customers, damage to our reputation, operational problems, one-time costs currently not anticipated, or disallowed for noncompliance.

reduced cost savings resulting from the merger. The integration could result in higher than expected deposit attrition, loss of key employees, disruption of our business or otherwise adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees or achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.


We are subject to extensive oversight and regulation that continues to change

We and FCB are subject to extensive federal and state banking laws and regulations. These laws and regulations primarily focus on the protection of depositors, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole rather than the protection of security holders. Federal and state banking regulators possess broad powers to take supervisory actions as they deem appropriate. These supervisory actions may result in higher capital requirements, higher deposit insurance premiums, increased expenses, reductions in fee income and limitations on activities that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.


In July 2013, Bank regulatory agencies approved new global regulatory capital guidelines (Basel) aimed at strengthening existing capital requirements for bank holding companies through a combination of higher minimum capital requirements, new capital conservation buffers and more conservative definitions of capital and balance sheet exposure. BancShares will be under the new requirements effective January 1, 2015, subject to a transition period for several aspects of the rule. When fully implemented in January 2019, we will be required to maintain a ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5 percent and a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets, totaling 7.0 percent. The rule also raises the minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0 percent to 6.0 percent and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0 percent.

The Dodd-Frank Act instituted significant changes to the overall regulatory framework for financial institutions, including BancShares and FCB. Manythe creation of the specific provisions of the bill have yet to be fully implemented, and the impact on us cannot be accurately predicted until regulations are enacted.

We encounter significant competition

We compete with other banks and specialized financial service providers in our market areas. Our primary competitors include local, regional and national banks, and savings associations, credit unions, commercial finance companies, various wealth management providers,
independent and captive insurance agencies, mortgage companies and non-bank providers of financial services over the Internet.services. Some of our larger competitors, including banks that have a significant presence in our market areas, have the capacity to offer products and services we do not offer. Some of our competitors operate in a regulatory environment that is significantly less stringent than the one in which we operate, orand certain competitors are not subject to federal and state income taxation.taxes. The fierce competitive pressure that we face tends to reduceadversely affects pricing for many of our products and services to levels that are marginally profitable.

Our financial condition could be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions


Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty or other relationships. We have exposure to numerous financial service providers, including banks, brokers and dealers in securities and other institutional clients.financial service providers. Transactions with other financial institutions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of the counterparty. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when collateral held by us cannot be realized or is liquidated at a price insufficient to recover the full amount of the credit. These types of losses could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Natural disasters and other catastrophes could affect our ability to operate

The occurrence of catastrophic events including weather-related events such as hurricanes, tropical storms, floods, or windstorms, as well as earthquakes, pandemic disease, fires and other catastrophes could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition to natural catastrophic events, man-made events, such as acts of terror and governmental response to acts of terror, could adversely affect general economic conditions, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Unpredictable natural and other disasters could have an adverse effect if those events materially disrupt our operations or affect customers’ access to the financial services we offer. Although we carry insurance to mitigate our exposure to certain catastrophic events, catastrophic events could nevertheless adversely affect our results of operations.

counterparty default.

We are subject to interest rate risk


Our results of operations and cash flows are highly dependent upon our net interest income. Interest rates are sensitive to economic and market conditions that are beyond our control, including the actions of the Federal Reserve’sReserve Board’s Federal Open Market Committee. Changes in monetary policy could influence our interest income and interest expense as well as the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities. If the changes in interest rates on our interest-earning assets are not roughly equal to the changes in interest rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, our net interest income and, therefore, our net income could be adversely impacted.

Even though

Although we maintain what we believe to be an adequate interest rate risk monitoring system, the forecasts of future net interest income in the systemare estimates and may be inaccurate. The shape of the yield curveActual interest rate movements may change differently than we forecasted,differ from our forecasts, and we cannot accurately predict changes in interest rates orunexpected actions by the Federal Open Market Committee that may have a direct impact on market interest rates.

Our current high level of balance sheet liquidity may come under pressure

Our deposit base represents our primary source of liquidity,core funding and webalance sheet liquidity. We normally have the ability to stimulate core deposit growth through our reasonable and effective pricing strategies. However, in circumstances where our ability to generate

needed liquidity is impaired, we would need access to alternative liquidity sourcesnoncore funding such as overnightborrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other short-term borrowings.the Federal Reserve, Federal Funds purchased and brokered deposits. While we maintain access to alternativenoncore funding sources, we are dependent on the availability of collateral and the counterparty’s willingness and ability to lend to us, and their liquidity capacity.

Operationallend.

We face significant operational risks continue to increase

in our businesses

Our ability to adequately conduct and grow our business is dependent on our ability to create and maintain an appropriate operational and organizational control infrastructure. Operational risk can arise in numerous ways, including security and data breaches, employee fraud, customer fraud and control lapses in bank operations and information technology. Our dependence on our employees, automated systems including the automatedand those systems usedmaintained by acquired entities and third parties, to record and process transactions may further increase the risk that technical failures or tampering of those systems will result in losses that are difficult to detect. We are also subject to disruptions of our operating systems arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond our control. Failure to maintain an appropriate operational infrastructure can lead to loss of service to customers, legal actions and noncompliance with various laws and regulations.

Our business could suffer if we fail to attract and retain skilled employees

FCB's success depends primarily on our ability to attract and retain key employees. Competition is intense for employees who we believe will be successful in developing and attracting new business and/or managing critical support functions for FCB. We may not be able to hire the best employees or retain them for an adequate period of time after their hire date.

We are subject to information security risks

We maintain and transmit large amounts of sensitive information electronically, including personal and financial information of our customers. In addition to our own systems, we also rely on external vendors to provide certain services and are, therefore,
exposed to their information security risk. While we seek to mitigate internal and external information security risks, the volume of business conducted through electronic devices continues to grow, and our computer systems and network infrastructure, as well as the systems of external vendors and customers, present security risks and could be susceptible to hacking or identity theft.

We are also subject to risks arising from a broad range of attacks by doing business on the Internet, which arise from both domestic and international sources and seek to obtain customer information for fraudulent purposes or, in some cases, to disrupt business activities. Information security risks could result in reputational damage and lead to a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and financial results of operations.

We continue to encounter technological change

for which we expect to incur significant expense

The financial services industry continues to experience an increase in technological complexity required to provide a competitive array of products and services to customers. Our future success depends in part onrequires that we maintain technology and associated facilities that will support our ability to satisfactorily invest in and address our technology infrastructure to ensure that we can continue to provide products and services that satisfactorily meet the banking and other financial needs of our customers. SeveralIn 2013, we undertook projects to modernize our systems and associated facilities, strengthen our business continuity and disaster recovery efforts and reduce operational risk. The projects will be implemented in phases over the next several years. The magnitude and scope of our principal competitorsthese projects is significant with total costs estimated to exceed $100 million. If the projects’ objectives are much larger than we are, and thus have substantially greater resources to investnot achieved or if the cost of the projects is materially in their technological capabilities and infrastructure. We may not be able to satisfactorily address our technology needs in a timely and cost-effective manner, which could lead to a material adverse impact onexcess of the estimate, our business, financial condition and financial results of operations.

could be adversely impacted.

We rely on external vendors

Third party vendors provide key components of our business infrastructure, including certain data processing and information services. A number of our vendors are large national entities with dominant market presence in their respective fields, and their services could be difficult to quickly replace in the event of failure or other interruption in service. Failures of these third partiescertain vendors to provide services for any reason could adversely affect our ability to deliver products and services to our customers. External vendors also present information security risk. We maintain a robust control environment designed to monitor vendor risks, including the financial stability of critical vendors. While we believe that our control environment is adequate, theThe failure of a critical external vendor could disrupt our business and cause us to incur significant expense.

We are subject to litigation risks

We face litigation risks as principal and fiduciary from customers, employees, vendors, federal and state regulatory agencies, and other parties who seek to assert single or class action liabilities against us. The frequency of claims and amount of damages and penalties claimed in litigation and regulatory proceedings against financial institutions remain high. Substantial legal liability or significant regulatory action against us may have material adverse financial effects or cause significant reputational harm. Although we carry insurance to mitigate our exposure to certain litigation risks, litigation could nevertheless adversely affect our results of operations.

We use accounting estimates in the preparation of our financial statements

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make significant estimates that affect the financial statements. Significant estimates include the allowance for loan and lease losses, the fair values of acquired loans and other real estate owned (OREO) at acquisition date and cash flow projections in subsequent periods, pension plan assumptions, and the related receivable from and payable to the FDIC for loss share agreements. Due to the uncertainty of the circumstances relating to these estimates, we may experience more adverse outcomes than originally estimated. The allowance for loan and lease losses may need to be significantly increased.increased based on future events. The actual losses or expenses on loans or the losses or expenses not covered under the FDIC agreements may differ from the recorded amounts, resulting in charges that could materially affect our results of operations.


Accounting standards may change

The Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission periodically modify the standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. The nature of these changes is not predictable and

could impact how we record transactions in our financial statements, which could lead to material changes in assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity, revenues, expenses and net income. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standardstandards retroactively, resulting in changes to previously reportedpreviously-reported financial results or a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. The applicationApplication of new accounting rules or standards could require us to implement costly technology changes.

Deposit insurance premiums could increase further causing added pressure on our earnings

During 2009, due to a higher level of bank failures, the FDIC increased recurring deposit insurance premiums and imposed a special assessment on insured financial institutions. In addition, the FDIC received approval to require prepayment of the ensuing three years’ premiums by December 31, 2009. We remitted $69.6 million to prepay our premiums for 2010, 2011 and 2012. Due to the continuing volume of bank failures, it is possible that higher deposit insurance rates or additional special assessments will be required to restore the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund to the legislatively established target.

Integration of our 2010 and 2009 acquisitions may be disruptive, and we have no assurance that future acquisitions will be approved

We must receive federal and state regulatory approvals before we can acquire a bank or bank holding company or acquire assets and assume liabilities of failed banks from the FDIC. Prior to granting approval, bank regulators consider, among other factors, the effect of the acquisition on competition, financial condition and future prospects including current and projected capital ratios, the competence, experience and integrity of management, compliance with laws, regulations, contracts and agreements and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, including the record of compliance under the Community Reinvestment Act. We cannot be certain when or if any required regulatory approvals will be granted or what conditions may be imposed by the approving authority.

In addition to the risks related to regulatory approvals, complications in the conversion of operating systems, data processing systems and products may result in the loss of customers, damage to our reputation, operational problems, one-time costs currently not anticipated, or reduced cost savings resulting from a merger or acquisition. The integration could result in higher than expected deposit attrition, loss of key employees, disruption of our businesses or the businesses of the acquired company or otherwise adversely affect our

Our ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees or achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.

The acquisition gains that we have recorded in our financial statements are subject to adjustment

The acquisition gains recorded during 2010 are preliminary and subject to revision for a period of one year following the respective acquisition dates. Adjustments to the gains may be recorded basedgrow is contingent on additional information received after the acquisition date that affected the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Further downward adjustments in values of assets acquired or increases in values of liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition would lower the acquisition gains.

Based on existing capital levels, BancShares and its subsidiary banks maintainFCB are well-capitalized ratios under current leverage and risk-based capital standards including the impact of the acquisitions in 2010standards. Our prospective ability to grow is contingent on our ability to generate sufficient capital to remain well-capitalized under current and 2009. future capital adequacy guidelines.

Historically, our primary capital sources have been retained earnings and debt issued through both private and public markets including trust preferred securities and subordinated debt. TheBeginning January 1, 2015, provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act contains provisions that will eliminate 75 percent of our ability to include $265 million of trust preferred capital securities in tier 1 risk-based capital beginning January 1, 2013 with total elimination on January 1, 2015. The inability to include the trust preferred securities in tier 1 risk-based capital may lead us to redeem a portion or all of the securities prior to their scheduled maturity dates. Since we have not historically raised capital through new issues of our common stock, replacement of thefrom tier 1 capital will be difficult. A lack of access to tierwith the remaining 25 percent phased out January 1, capital could limit our ability to consummate additional acquisitions, make new loans, meet our existing lending commitments, and could potentially affect our liquidity and capital adequacy.

The market price of our stock may be volatile

Although publicly traded, our common stock has substantially less liquidity and public float than other large publicly traded financial services companies as well as average companies listed on the NASDAQ National Market System. A relatively small percentage of our common stock is actively traded with average daily volume during 2010 of approximately 12,000 shares. This lowLow liquidity increases the price volatility of our stock which mayand could make it difficult for our shareholders to sell or buy our common stock when they deem a transaction is warranted at a price that they believe is attractive.

specific prices.

Excluding the impact of liquidity, the market price of our common stock can fluctuate widely in response to other factors including expectations of operating results, actual operating results, actions of institutional shareholders, speculation in the press or the investment community, market perception of acquisitions, rating agency upgrades or downgrades, stock prices of other companies that are similar to us, general market expectations related to the financial services industry and the potential impact of government actions affecting the financial services industry.

BancShares relies on dividends from FCB

As a financial holding company, BancShares is a separate legal entity from FCB and receives substantially all of itsFCB. BancShares derives considerable revenue and cash flow from dividends paid by FCB. The cash flow from these dividends is the primary source whichthat allows BancShares to pay dividends on its common stock and interest and principal on its debt obligations. North Carolina state law limits the amount of dividends that FCB may pay to BancShares. In the event that FCB is unable to pay dividends to BancShares for an extended period of time, BancShares may not be able to service its debt obligations or pay dividends on its common stock.

As of December 31, 2010,2013, we had $102.6$102.6 million of goodwill recorded as an asset on our balance sheet. We test goodwill for impairment at least annually, and the impairment test compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its net book value. AWe also test goodwill for impairment when certain events occur, such as a significant decline in our expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in the business climate or a sustained decline in the price of our common stockstock. These
tests may result in a write-off of goodwill deemed to be impaired, goodwill. Such write-offwhich could have a significant impact on our results of
operations, but would not impact our capital ratios as suchsince capital ratios are calculated using tangible capital amounts.

A cash dividend of 30.030 cents per share was declared by the Board of Directors on January 24, 2011,28, 2014, payable on April 4, 2011,7, 2014, to holders of record as of March 14, 2011.17, 2014. Payment of dividends is made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and is contingent upon satisfactory earnings as well as projected future capital needs. BancShares’ principal source of liquidity for payment of shareholder dividends is the dividend it receives from FCB. FCB is subject to various requirements under federal and state banking laws that restrict the payment of dividends and its ability to lend to BancShares. Subject to the foregoing, it is currently management’s expectation that comparable cash dividends will continue to be paid in the future.


During 2010,the second quarter of 2013, our board granted authority to purchase up to 100,000 and 25,000 shares of Class A and Class B common stock, respectively, beginning on July 1, 2013, and continuing through June 30, 2014.

That authority replaced similar plans approved by the Board during 2011 that were in effect during the twelve months preceding July 1, 2012. Pursuant to those plans, during 2012, we purchased and retired an aggregate of 56,276 shares of Class A common stock and 25,000100 shares of our Class B common stock. The shares may beDuring 2013, BancShares purchased from time to time through April 30, 2011. The Board’s action approving share repurchases does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of shares, and purchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Anyretired 1,973 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the July 1, 2012, authorization. Additionally, under separate authorizations, during 2012, BancShares purchased and retired 606,829 shares of Class B common stock in privately negotiated transactions, including purchases of 593,954 shares from a director and certain of her related interests.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Management’s discussion and analysis of earnings and related financial data are presented to assist in understanding the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (BancShares). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes presented within this report. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Although certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to statement presentations for 2010,2013, the reclassifications have no material effect on shareholders’ equity or net income as previously reported. Unless otherwise noted, the terms we, us"we," "us" and BancShares"BancShares" refer to the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for BancShares.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Information included in our audited financial statements

The accounting and management’s discussion and analysis is derived from our accounting records, whichreporting policies of BancShares are maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP)(GAAP) and conform to general practices within the banking industry. While muchThe preparation of the information is definitive, certain accounting issues are highly dependent uponfinancial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions madeto arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses. Our financial position and results of operations can be materially affected by management. An understanding of these estimates and assumptions is vital to understanding BancShares’ financial statements.assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those policies that are most important to the determination of our financial condition and results of operations or that require management to make assumptions and estimates that are subjective or complex.

We periodically evaluate our The most critical accounting and reporting policies includinginclude those related to the allowance for loan and lease losses, fair value estimates, the receivable from and payable to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)FDIC for loss share agreements, pension plan assumptions and income taxes. While we baseSignificant accounting policies are discussed in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.


The following is a summary of our critical accounting policies that are material to our consolidated financial statements and are highly dependent on estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or outcomes.

assumptions.


Allowance for loan and lease losses.The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required loan and lease payments. The allowance reflects management’sALLL is based on management's evaluation of the risk characteristics of the loan and lease portfolio under current economic conditions and considers such factors as the financial condition of the borrower, fair market value of collateral and other items that, in our opinion, deserve current recognition in estimating possible loan and lease losses. Our evaluation process is based on historical evidence and current trends among delinquencies, defaults and nonperforming assets. A consistent
During 2013, we implemented enhancements to our modeling methodology is utilized that includes allowances assigned to specific impairedfor estimating the general reserve component of the ALLL. Specifically for the originated commercial loans and leases general commercial loan allowances that are based upon estimatedsegment, we refined our modeling methodology by increasing the granularity of the historical net loss data used to develop the applicable loss rates by credit grade withutilizing information that further considers the class of the commercial loan and associated risk rating. For the originated noncommercial segment, we refined our modeling methodology to incorporate specific loan classes and delinquency status trends into the loss rates derived in part from migration analysis among grades, general non-commercial allowances based upon estimated loss rates derived primarily from historical losses, andrates. The enhanced ALLL estimates implicitly include the risk of draws on open lines within each loan class. Management has also further enhanced a nonspecific allowance based uponqualitative framework for considering economic conditions, loan concentrations and other relevant factors. Specific allowancesfactors at a loan class level. We believe the methodology enhancements improve the application of historical net loss data and the precision of our segment analysis. These enhancements resulted in reallocations between segments, allocation of the nonspecific allowance to specific loan classes and reallocation of substantially all of the reserve for impairedunfunded commitments into the ALLL. Other than these modifications, the enhancements to the methodology had no material impact on the ALLL.
Acquired loans are primarily determined through estimated cash flows discounted at an appropriate rate. Substantially all impaired loans are collateralized by real property.

Loans covered by loss share agreements are recorded at fair value at acquisition date. Therefore, amountsAmounts deemed uncollectible at acquisition date become a part of the fair value calculation and are excluded from the allowance for loan and lease losses. Ongoing analysis is performed on coveredALLL. Following acquisition, we routinely review acquired loans to determine if a changechanges in estimated cash flows hashave occurred. Subsequent decreases in the amount expected to be collected may result in a provision for loan and lease losses with a corresponding increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses.ALLL. Subsequent increases in the amount expected to be collected result in a reversal of any previously recorded provision for loan and lease losses and related allowance for loan and lease losses,ALLL, if any, or prospective adjustment to the accretable yield if no provision for loan and lease losses had been recorded. Proportional adjustments are also recorded to the FDIC receivable underfor acquired loans if the timing of the projected loss will result in the loss being covered by loss share agreements.

Management continuously monitors and actively manages the credit quality of the entire loan portfolio and recognizes provision expense to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level. Specific allowances for impaired loans are determined by analyzing estimated cash flows discounted at a loan's original rate or collateral values in situations where we believe repayment is dependent on collateral liquidation. Substantially all impaired loans are collateralized by real property.

Management considers the established allowance adequate to absorb losses that relate to loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2010,2013, although future additions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, collateral values, erosion of the borrower's access to liquidity and other factors. If the financial condition of our borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, our estimates would be updated and additions to the allowance may be required. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan and lease losses. These agencies may require the recognition of additions to the allowance based on

their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination. If the financial condition of our borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, our estimates would be updated, and additions to the allowance may be required.

Fair value estimates. BancShares reports investment securities available for sale and interest rate swaps accounted for as cash flow hedges at fair value. At December 31, 2010,2013, the percentage of total assets and total liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis was 21.725.4 percent and less than 1.0 percent, respectively. The majorityfair values of assets and liabilities reportedcarried at fair value on a recurring basis are based on quoted market prices or market prices for similar instruments.estimated using various model-based valuation techniques. At December 31, 2010, less than 1 percent of2013, no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were based on significant nonobservable inputs. Other financialCertain other assets are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including loans held for sale, impaired loans and impaired loans.other real estate owned (OREO). See Note KL “Estimated Fair Values” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments.value.

US

As required under GAAP, requiresthe assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at fair value at acquisition date. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Temecula Valley Bank (TVB), Venture Bank (VB), First Regional Bank (First Regional) and Sun American Bank (SAB)our FDIC-assisted transactions were recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Fair values were determined using valuation methods and assumptions established by management. Use of different assumptions and methods could yield significantly different fair values. Fair valueCash flow estimates for loans, and leases and other real estate owned (OREO)OREO were based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, which included the use of commercial loan credit grades, collateral valuations and current economic conditions.

The cash flows were discounted to fair value using rates that included consideration of factors such as current interest rates, costs to service the loans and liquidation of the asset.

Receivable from and payable to the FDIC receivable for loss share agreements. The receivable from the FDIC receivable for loss share agreements is measured separately from the related covered assets as it is not contractually embedded in the assets and is not transferable shouldrecorded at fair value at the assets be sold. Fair value was initially calculatedacquisition date using projected cash flows related to the loss share agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses and expenses at the applicable loss share percentages. The receivable from the FDIC receivable is reviewed and updated quarterly as loss estimates and timing of estimated cash flows related to covered loans and OREO change. SubsequentPost-acquisition adjustments represent the net change in loss estimates related to covered loans and OREO as a result of changes in expected cash flows and the allowance for loan and lease losses related to covered loans. For loans covered by loss share agreements, subsequent decreases in the amount of loan-related cash flows expected to be collected from the borrower or collateral liquidation may result in a provision for loan and lease losses, an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses and a proportional adjustment to the FDIC receivable for the estimated amount to be reimbursed. Subsequent increases in the amount expected to be collected from the borrower or collateral liquidation result in the reversal of any previously-recordedpreviously recorded provision for loan and lease losses and related allowance for loan and lease losses, and adjustments to the FDIC receivable, or prospective adjustment to the accretable yield if no provision for loan and lease losses had been recorded. Subsequentrecorded previously. Reversal of previously-established allowances result in immediate adjustments to the FDIC receivable to remove amounts that were expected to be reimbursed prior to the improvement. For improvements that increase accretable yield, the FDIC receivable is adjusted over the shorter of the remaining term of the loss share agreement or the life of the covered loan. Other adjustments to the FDIC receivable result from unexpected recoveries of amounts previously charged off, servicing costs that exceed initial estimates and changes to the estimated fair value estimates of OREO also result in a proportional adjustmentOREO.

Certain loss share agreements include clawback provisions that require payments to the FDIC receivable.if actual losses and expenses do not exceed a calculated amount. Our estimate of the clawback payments based on current loss and expense projections are recorded as an accrued liability. Projected cash flows are discounted to reflect the estimated timing of receipt of funds fromthe payments to the FDIC.

Pension plan assumptions.BancShares offers a defined benefit pension plan to qualifying employees. The calculation of the benefit obligation, the future value of plan assets, funded status and related pension expense under the pension plan requires the use of actuarial valuation methods and assumptions. The valuations and assumptions used to determine the future value of plan assets and liabilities are subject to management judgment and may differ significantly depending upon the assumptions used. The discount rate used to estimate the present value of the benefits to be paid under the pension plan reflects the interest rate that could be obtained for a suitable investment used to fund the benefit obligation. TheFor the calculation of pension expense, the assumed discount rate equaled 5.504.00 percent atduring 2013, and 4.75 percent during 2012. At December 31, 2010, compared to 6.00 percent at December 31, 2009. A reduction in2013, BancShares increased the assumed discount rate wouldon its pension liability to 4.90 percent due to higher long-term interest rates. This rate increase thereduced BancShares' calculated benefit obligations, which would result in higherobligation as of December 31, 2013, and will lower the 2014 pension expense subsequent to adoptionexpense.

Table of the lower discount rate. Conversely, an increase in the assumed discount rate would cause a reduction in obligations, thereby resulting in lower pension expense following the increase in the discount rate.Contents



We also estimate a long-term rate of return on pension plan assets that is used to estimate the future value of plan assets. We consider such factors as the actual return earned on plan assets, historical returns on the various asset classes in the plan and projections of future returns on various asset classes. The calculation of pension expense during 2010 and 2009 was based on an assumed expected long-term return on plan assets of 8.00 percent. The assumed expected long-term return on plan assets for 2011 will be adjusted downward7.25 percent during 2013 compared to 7.75 percent.7.50 percent in 2012. A reduction in the long-term rate of return on plan assets increases pension expense for periods following the decrease in the assumed rate of return.

The assumed rate of future compensation increases is reviewed annually based on actual experience and future salary expectations. We used an assumed rate of compensation increase of 4.504.00 percent to calculate pension expense during 2010

2013 and 2009.2012. Assuming other variables remain unchanged, an increase in the rate of future compensation increases results in higher pension expense for periods following the increase in the assumed rate of future compensation increases.


Income taxes. Management estimates income tax expense using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the amount of assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated financial statements and their respective tax bases. In estimating the liabilities and corresponding expense related to income taxes, management assesses the relative merits and risks of various tax positions considering statutory, judicial and regulatory guidance. Because of the complexity of tax laws and regulations, interpretation is difficult and subject to differing judgments. Accrued income taxes payable represents an estimate of the net amounts due to or from taxing jurisdictions based upon various estimates, interpretations and judgments.

We evaluate our effective tax rate on a quarterly basis our effective tax rate based upon the current estimate of net income, the favorable impact of various credits, statutory tax rates expected for the year and the amount of tax liability in each jurisdiction in which we operate. Annually, we file tax returns with each jurisdiction where we have tax nexus and settle our return liabilities.

Changes in the estimate ofestimated income tax liabilities occur periodically due to changes in actual or estimated future tax rates and projections of taxable income, interpretations of tax laws, the complexities of multi-state income tax reporting, the status of examinations being conducted by various taxing authorities and the impact of newly enacted legislation or guidance as well as income tax accounting pronouncements.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

During 2010,


BancShares’ earnings and cash flows are primarily derived from our commercial banking activities. We gather deposits from retail and commercial customers and secure funding through various non-deposit sources. We invest the liquidity generated from these funding sources in interest-earning assets, including loans and leases, investment securities and overnight investments. We also invest in bank premises, hardware, software, furniture and equipment used to conduct our commercial banking industry continuedbusiness. We provide treasury services products, cardholder and merchant services, wealth management services and various other products and services typically offered by commercial banks.

BancShares conducts its banking operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (FCB), a state-chartered bank organized under the laws of the state of North Carolina. Prior to work2011, BancShares also conducted banking activities through historic asset quality challenges, capital shortagesIronStone Bank (ISB), a federally-chartered thrift institution. On January 7, 2011, ISB was merged into FCB.

Prior to 2009, we focused on organic growth, delivering our products and a sustained global economic recession. During this time of industry-wide turmoil that began in 2008, BancShares has continued its long-standing attentionservices to prudent banking practices.

While our growth has historically been primarilycustomers through de novo activities, since mid-2009 BancShares has elected to participatebranch expansion. Beginning in 2009, leveraging on our strong capital and liquidity positions, we participated in six FDIC-assisted transactions involving distressed financial institutions. During 2010, FCB acquired selected assets and assumed selected liabilitiesEach of two failed banks. Two additionalthe FDIC-assisted transactions were consummated during the third quarter of 2009.

Participation in FDIC-assisted transactions creates opportunities to significantly increase our business volumes in markets in which we presently operate, and to expand our banking presence to geographically adjacent markets which we deem demographically attractive. For each of the four FDIC-assisted transactions we have completed as of December 31, 2010,include indemnification assets, or loss share agreements, that protect us from a substantial portion of the credit and asset quality risk we would otherwise incur. Additionally, purchase discounts and fair value adjustments onUnder GAAP, acquired assets, and assumed liabilities have resulted in significant acquisition gains that have resulted inand the creation of a substantial portion of the equity required to fund the transactions.

During January 2011, FCB announced it had acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed a majority of the liabilities of United Western Bank (United Western), headquartered in Denver, Colorado, in an FDIC-assisted transaction. Based on the proforma statement provided by the FDIC, United Western had loans totaling $993.1 million that were acquired by FCB and deposits totaling $1.6 billion that were assumed by FCB. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed will beindemnification asset are recorded at their fair value, although those valuations were incompletevalues as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the amortization and accretion of filing this Form 10-K.premiums and discounts, the recognition of post-acquisition improvement and deterioration and the related accounting for the loss share agreements with the FDIC have contributed to significant income statement volatility. During February 2011, United Western’s parent company, United Western and directors of the parent company filed a complaint2013, in the United States District Court foraggregate, the Districtnet impact of Columbia against the FDIC, the OTS and others, claiming that the seizure of United Western by the OTS and the subsequent appointment of the FDIC as receiver was illegal. The complaint requests the court to direct the OTS to remove the FDIC as receiver, return control of United Western to the plaintiffs, reimburse the plaintiffs for their costs and attorney fees and to award plaintiffs other relief as may be just and equitable. Neither BancShares nor FCB were named in the complaint. It is unclear what impact, if any, the litigation will have on FCB or the assets acquired in the United Western transaction.

Management believes that further opportunities will be available during 2011FDIC-assisted transactions has been favorable to participate in FDIC-assisted transactions. These transactions provide an unprecedented opportunity to materially grow our balance sheetcurrent earnings, as recoveries of amounts previously charged off, the reversal of previously-identified impairment and customer base withoutaccretion income has exceeded the needunfavorable amortization of the receivable from the FDIC for incremental external capital,loss share agreements.


On January 1, 2014, FCB completed its merger with 1st Financial Services Corporation (1st Financial) and create material amountsits wholly-owned banking subsidiary Mountain 1st Bank & Trust Company. In accordance with the acquisition method of nonrecurring earnings with limited risk.

acquisition date. As we consider the current business climate, we continue to be guided by our organization’s strengths. We are also challenged to take advantage of predicted market opportunities that are perceived to exist in the financial institutions marketplace. In our effort to optimally allocate our resources, we have identified the following corporate strengths and market opportunities:

Corporate Strengths

The breadth of our multi-state delivery network, serving both major metropolitan markets and rural communities

Our strategic focus on narrow business customer segments that utilize mainstream banking services

Balance sheet liquidity

Conservative credit philosophies

Our commitment to focus on the long-term impact of strategic, financial and operational decisions

The closely held nature of a majority of common equity

Our dedicated associates and experienced executive leadership

Our reputation as a personal banking company both as relates to lending and deposit products

Market Opportunities

Expansion of our branch network and asset base primarily as a result of FDIC-assisted bank acquisitions

Our presence in diverse and growing geographic locales

Potential to attract customers of super-regional banks who have ceased providing an acceptable level of customer service, or have experienced financial and reputational challenges

Potential to attract former customers of banks that either have merged or will likely merge with super-regional banks or with one another

Potential to attract customers of community banks that lack our level of financial expertise and breadth of products and services, or have experienced financial and reputational challenges

Potential for increased volumes of fee income in certain business lines including wealth management, merchant processing, credit card interchange, treasury services, and insurance.

Potential for customer attraction, enhanced customer experience and incremental sales as a result of the growing desire1st Financial transaction, during the first quarter of customers2014, FCB recorded loans with a fair value of $316.3 million, investment securities with a fair value of $237.4 million and other real estate with a fair value of $11.6 million. The fair value of deposits assumed totaled $631.9 million. FCB paid $10.0 million to acquire financial services over1st Financial, including $8.0 million to acquire the Internet

1st Financial securities that had been issued under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. As a result of the merger, FCB recorded $24.5 million of goodwill. BancShares and FCB remain well-capitalized following the 1st Financial merger.

Bank earnings faced multiple challenges


Various external factors influence the focus of our business efforts, and the results of our operations can change significantly based on those external factors. US economic conditions are improving, but unemployment rates remain high. The rate of economic growth increased during 2010,the second half of 2013. Consumer confidence continues to improve, with particularconsumer spending at the highest level of growth in three years. Continued growth in household net worth, driven by increases in home, stock and other asset values, is believed to have positively influenced consumer confidence. As a result of perceived strength in the economy, during December 2013, the Federal Reserve announced its decision to taper its bond-buying program in 2014.

We continue to experience downward pressure on net interest income, credit costsresulting from low interest rates and noninterest income.acquired loan payoffs. While improvement in economic conditions contributed to originated loan growth during the second half of 2013, the rapid reduction in our acquired loan portfolio resulted in a net reduction in gross loans during 2013. Low interest rates and competitive loan and deposit pricing have led to narrow interest margins for our originated loan portfolio. The slow recovery from the global recessionFederal Reserve's continuing efforts to stimulate economic growth has caused the Federal Reserve to maintainresulted in interest rates remaining at unprecedented low levels, and to use various forms of monetary policy in an attemptpolicymakers have indicated they intend to hold down long-termbenchmark interest rates.rates stable until 2015. The low interest rate environment has created pressure onand lack of growth continue to adversely affect net interest income. In addition, credit costs remain high due to elevated nonperforming asset levels and the continuing efforts by banks to resolve asset quality issues. During the third quarter of 2010, revisions to Regulation E became effective which had a significant adverse impact on fees collected for insufficient fund and overdraft items. Income derived from debit cards is likely to decline materially in 2011 upon the issuance of final regulations from the Dodd-Frank Act.

Various external factors influence customer demand for our loan, lease and deposit products and ultimately affect asset quality and profitability. Recessionary


Improving economic conditions high rates of unemployment and a growing inability for some businessesfavorable real estate prices contributed to significant credit quality improvement during 2013. Charge-offs among both acquired and consumersoriginated loans declined during 2013, and nonperforming assets and delinquencies declined from 2012. Despite these improvements, certain financially-distressed customers continue to meetexperience difficulty meeting their debt service obligations.

Following a comprehensive evaluation of our core technology systems and related business processes during 2012, we concluded that significant investments were required to ensure we are able to meet changing business requirements and to support a growing organization. The project to modernize our systems and associated facilities began in 2013 with phased implementation scheduled through 2016. The project will improve our business continuity and disaster recovery efforts and will ultimately reduce operational risk. The magnitude and scope of this effort is significant with total costs estimated to exceed $100 million.

During the evaluation of our business processes, we identified several services that we concluded were not critical to our long-term strategic objectives. During the first quarter of 2013, we sold our rights and most of our obligations under various service agreements with client banks, some of which are controlled by Related Persons. We continue to exert pressureprovide processing services to First Citizens Bank and Trust Company, Inc. (FCB-SC), an entity controlled by Related Persons and our largest client bank.

During 2013, we unveiled an advertising campaign that features a refreshed brand and updated company logo. Our new brand line, Forever First®, symbolizes our commitment to the people, businesses and communities who rely on us to be the best we can be. It is used in all our core earningsbranches, in print advertising and profitability. Otherfor our online presence. In the Triangle and greater Charlotte areas of North Carolina, television, radio and outdoor advertising share our brand story. We have also developed two product bundles that are used to target specific customers. Your Family First was developed for financially-active families, while the Your Venture First package was developed for small business customers.

Our balance sheet liquidity position remains strong. While total deposits have seen little change, during the past 2 years, we have seen significant reductions in time deposits, largely offset by growth among demand and money market deposits. We believe that customers continue to repay existing debt or defer new borrowings duedesire the safety of bank deposits, but are not willing to lingering economic uncertainty.

Real estate demandinvest in many of our markets continuestime deposits based on expectations that time deposit rates are likely to be weak, resulting in depressed real estate prices that have adversely affected collateral values for many borrowers. In particular, the stressed residential real estate markets in Georgia and Florida adversely impacted the asset quality and profitability of ISB during 2009 and, to a lesser extent in 2010. increase.

In an effort to assist customers who are experiencing financial difficulty, we have selectively agreed to modify existing loan terms to provide relief to customers who are experiencing liquidity challenges or other circumstances that could affect their ability to meet their debt obligations. These modificationsThe majority of restructured loans (TDRs) are typically executed only if a customer’s payment is current and we believe the modification will resultto customers that are currently performing under existing terms but may be unable to do so in the avoidancenear future without a modification.

Financial institutions continue to face challenges resulting from implementation of default.

We experienced significant deposit growth in our legacy markets during 2010, but demandlegislative and governmental reforms to stabilize the financial services industry and provide added consumer protection. In July 2013, Bank regulatory agencies approved new global regulatory capital guidelines (Basel) aimed at strengthening existing capital requirements for our treasury services products has been weak asbank holding companies through a resultcombination of extraordinarily low interest rates. Ourhigher minimum capital requirements, new capital conservation buffers and more conservative definitions of capital and balance sheet liquidity position remains very strong, but our continuing participation in FDIC-assisted transactions creates pressure on liquidity management dueexposure. BancShares will be subject to the generally unattractive structure and mixrequirements of assumed deposits.

We operate in diverse geographic markets and can increase our business volumes and profitability by offering competitive products and superior customer service. In additionBasel effective January 1, 2015, subject to our focus on retaining customersa transition period for several aspects of the four banks involved inrule. Table 2 describes the FDIC-assisted transactions, we continue to concentrate our marketing efforts on business owners, medicalminimum and other professionalswell-capitalized requirements for the transitional period beginning during 2016 and financially active individuals. We seek to increase fee income in areas such as wealth management, cardholder and merchant services, and insurance and treasury services. Leveraging on our investments in technology, we also focus on opportunities to generate income by providing various processing services to other banks.

We have identified challenges and threatsthe fully-phased-in requirements that are most relevant and likely to have an impact on the achievementbecome effective during 2019. As of organizational strategies as:

Continuation of a weak domestic economy driving high unemployment, elevated credit costs and low interest rates

The domestic economy gains significant momentum causing the Federal Reserve to initiate interest rate increases, leading to inflationary expectations and increases in long-term interest rates

Increased competition from non-bank financial service providers

Continued decline in the role of traditional commercial banks in the large loan credit market

Effective management of human resources in order to attract and retain qualified associates

Increased competition from global financial service providers that operate with tighter margins on loan and deposit products

The need to make significant investments in our information technology infrastructure

Overcapacity in noninterest expense structure that reduces our ability to effectively compete with global financial service providers

Additional regulation causing further deterioration in revenues, earnings and capital formation to support lending and customer services

Proper management of assets acquired from FDIC failed institutions

Financial institutions have typically focused their strategic and operating emphasis on maximizing profitability, and therefore have measured their relative success by reference to profitability measures such as return on average assets or return on average shareholders’ equity.

Although we are unable to control the external factors that influence our business, by maintaining high levels of balance sheet liquidity, prudently managing our interest rate exposures, ensuring our capital positions remain strong and by actively monitoring asset quality, we seek to minimize the potentially adverse risks of unforeseen and unfavorable economic trends and take advantage of favorable economic conditions and opportunities when appropriate.

When economic conditions improve, we


EARNINGS SUMMARY

BancShares’ reported earnings for 2013 of $167.7 million, or $17.43 per share, compared to $134.3 million, or $13.11 per share during 2012. The annualized returns on average assets and equity amounted to 0.79 percent and 8.63 percent, respectively, during 2013, compared to 0.64 percent and 7.01 percent for 2012. The increase in net income in 2013 was due to a reduction in the provision for loan and lease losses and higher noninterest income, partially offset by lower net interest income.

Net interest income decreased $174.5 million from $914.7 million in 2012 to $740.2 million in 2013, primarily due to acquired loan shrinkage resulting in lower accretion income. The taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earning assets decreased 102 basis points from 4.84 percent in 2012 to 3.82 percent in 2013. Lower accreted loan discounts resulting from payments on acquired loans significantly impacted the taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earning assets during 2013 and 2012. Accretion income will be well positionedcontinue to resumedecrease in future periods as acquired loan balances continue to decline.

BancShares recorded a $32.3 million credit to provision for loan and lease losses during 2013, compared to provision expense of $142.9 million during 2012. Provision expense declined for both acquired loans and originated loans during 2013. The credit to provision expense related to acquired loans totaled $51.5 million during 2013, compared to provision expense of $100.8 million during 2012, a $152.4 million favorable organic growthchange. The significant reduction in provision expense for acquired loans resulted from lower current impairment, credit quality improvements and profitability trends.

payoffs of acquired loans for which an allowance had previously been established. Provision expense for originated loans totaled $19.3 million during 2013, compared to $42.0 million during 2012, a reduction of $22.8 million, resulting from lower net charge-offs and credit quality improvements in the originated portfolio.


For 2013, noninterest income increased $74.3 million from 2012 primarily resulting from higher acquired loan recoveries, a favorable reduction in the adjustments to the FDIC receivable and the sale of a large portion of our client bank processing. These favorable changes were partially offset by lower fees from processing services.

Noninterest expense increased $4.4 million, or 0.6 percent for 2013, when compared to 2012. The increase resulted from increases in pension, consulting and advertising expense, partially offset by lower foreclosure-related expenses.

Operating results related to acquired assets were favorable during 2013 and improved when compared to 2012. The significant reduction in the provision for loan and lease losses related to acquired assets, combined with improved noninterest income resulting from recoveries of acquired loans previously charged off and lower amortization expense related to the FDIC receivable more than offset the impact of lower accretion income. We expect the income statement impact of acquired assets will decrease in future periods as acquired loan balances decline.

Results from our non-acquired bank operations were mixed during 2013 when compared to 2012. While provision for loan and lease losses declined for 2013, noninterest expense increased primarily due to higher employee benefits expense and cardholder rewards expense. Net interest income was unchanged from 2012, while noninterest income increased slightly, the net result of improved cardholder and merchant income, offset by lower fees from processing services.

FDIC-ASSISTED TRANSACTIONS

Participation in


FDIC-assisted transactions has provided us significant growth opportunities for us during 2010from 2009 through 2011 and 2009.have continued to provide significant contributions to our results of operations. These transactions have allowed us to significantly increase our presence in existing markets in which we presently operate, and to expand our banking presence to geographically adjacent markets. Additionally, purchase discounts and fair value adjustments on acquired assets and assumed liabilities have resulted in significant acquisition gains. AllEach of the FDIC-assisted transactions completed as of December 31, 2010 includeincluded loss share agreements whichthat, for the term of the loss share agreement, protect us from a substantial portion of the credit and asset quality risk that we would otherwise incur.


IssuesBalance sheet impact. Table 3 provides information regarding the six FDIC-assisted transactions consummated during 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Income statement impact. The six FDIC-assisted transactions created acquisition gains recognized at the time of each respective transaction. No acquisition gains were recorded during 2013 and 2012, compared to $150.4 million in 2011. During 2013 and 2012, acquired loans resulting from the FDIC-assisted transactions have had a significant impact on interest income, provision for loan and lease losses and noninterest income. Due to the many factors that can affect the amount of income or expense related to acquired loans recognized in a given period, these components of net income are not easily predictable for future periods. Variations among these items may affect the comparability of various components of net income.

The amount of accretable yield related to acquired loans changes when the estimated cash flows expected to be collected change. The recognition of accretion income, which is included in interest income, may be accelerated in the event of unscheduled payments and various other post-acquisition events. For 2013, accretion income on acquired loans equaled $224.7 million, compared to $304.0 million during 2012 and $319.4 million during 2011. Accretion income continues to decline as acquired loan balances are repaid.

Total provision for loan and lease losses related to acquired loans decreased by $152.4 million from provision expense of $100.8 million in 2012 to a provision credit of $51.5 million in 2013. The decrease in the provision for acquired loan losses in 2013 is the result of reversal of previously identified impairment for post-acquisition deterioration and payoffs of loans for which an allowance had been established.

During 2013, the net adjustment to the FDIC receivable for post-acquisition improvements and deterioration in acquired assets resulted in a net reduction to the FDIC receivable and noninterest income of $72.3 million, compared to a net reduction in the receivable and a corresponding reduction in noninterest income of $101.6 million during 2012. For 2013, other noninterest income included $29.7 million of acquired loan recoveries, an increase of $19.2 million over 2012.

Expenses related to personnel supporting our acquired loan portfolio, facility and equipment costs, and expenses associated with collection and resolution of acquired loans as well as all income and expenses associated with OREO property covered under loss share agreements are not segregated from corresponding expenses related to originated assets.

Acquisition accounting and issues affecting comparability of financial statements.As estimated exposures forrelated to the acquired assets covered by the loss share agreements change based on post-acquisition events, our adherence to US GAAP and accounting policy elections that we have made create various complexities which affect the comparability of our current results of operations betweento earlier periods. Adjustments affecting assets covered by loss share agreements are recorded on a gross basis. Consequential adjustments to the carrying value of the FDIC receivable that reflect the change in the estimated loss of the covered assets are recorded with an offset to noninterest income. Several of the key issues affecting comparability are as follows:

When post-acquisition events suggest that the amount of cash flows we will ultimately receive for aan acquired loan covered by a loss share agreement is less than originally expected:

An allowance for loan and lease losses is established for the post-acquisition exposure that has emerged with a corresponding charge to provision for loan and lease losses;
If the expected loss is projected to occur during the relevant loss share period, the FDIC receivable is adjusted to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure with a corresponding increase to noninterest income;

An allowance for loan and lease losses is established for the post-acquisition exposure that has emerged with a corresponding debit to provision for loan and lease losses

The receivable from the FDIC is adjusted to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure with a corresponding credit to noninterest income

When post-acquisition events suggest that the amount of cash flows we will ultimately receive for aan acquired loan covered by a loss share agreement is greater than originally expected:

Any allowance for loan and lease losses that was previously established for post-acquisition exposure is reversed with a corresponding reduction to provision for loan and lease losses; if no allowance was established in earlier periods, the amount of the improvement in the cash flow projection results in a reclassification from the nonaccretable difference created at the acquisition date to an accretable yield; the newly-identified accretable yield is accreted into income over the remaining life of the loan as interest income;
The FDIC receivable is adjusted immediately for reversals of previously recognized impairment and prospectively for reclassifications from nonaccretable difference to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition change in exposure; a corresponding reduction in noninterest income is also recorded immediately for reversals of previously established allowances or, for reclassifications from nonaccretable difference, over the shorter of the remaining life of the related loan or relevant loss share agreement;

Any allowance for loan and lease losses that was previously established for post-acquisition exposure is reversed with a corresponding credit to provision for loan and lease losses; if no allowance was established in earlier periods, the amount of the improvement in the cash flow projection results in a reclassification from the nonaccretable difference created at the acquisition date to an accretable yield; the newly-identified accretable yield is accreted into income in future periods over the remaining life of the loan as a credit to interest income

The receivable from the FDIC is adjusted to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure with a corresponding debit to noninterest income

When actual payments received on acquired loans are greater than initial estimates, large nonrecurring discount accretion or reductions in the allowance for loan and lease losses may be recognized during a specific period; discount accretion is recognized as a creditan increase to interest income.

Balance sheet impact.    The 2010 transactions involving First Regionalincome; reductions in the allowance for loan and SAB represented our third and fourth FDIC-assisted transactions since July 17, 2009. Table 2 provides information regardinglease losses are recorded as a reduction in the four entities from which we have acquired assets and assumed liabilities in FDIC-assisted transactions during 2010 and 2009. Adjustments to acquisition date fair values are subject to change for one year following the closing date of each respective acquisition.

Although US GAAP allows for acquired loans to be accounted for in designated pools, we elected to account for our acquired loans on a non-pooled basis. We made that election based on the average loan size and the lack of large numbers of homogenous loans. The non-pool election could potentially accentuate volatility in net interest income.

Income statement impact.    The four FDIC-assisted transactions created acquisition gains recognized at the time of the respective transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2010, acquisition gains totaled $136.0 million compared to $104.4 million during the same period of 2009. Additionally, the acquired loans, assumed deposits and borrowings originated by the four banks have affected net interest income, provision for loan and lease losses and noninterest income. Significant increases in noninterest expense have resulted from incremental staffing and facility costs forlosses;

Adjustments to the branch locations and other expensesFDIC receivable resulting from changes in estimated cash flows for acquired loans are based on the FDIC-assisted transactions. Various fair value discounts and premiums that were previously recorded are being accreted and amortized into income over the lifereimbursement provision of the underlying asset or liability.

As previously discussed, post-acquisition changesapplicable loss share agreement with the FDIC. Adjustments to the FDIC receivable partially offset the adjustment to the acquired loan carrying value, but the rate of the change to the FDIC receivable relative to the change in the acquired loan carrying value is not constant. The loss share agreements establish reimbursement rates for losses incurred within certain ranges. In some loss share agreements, higher loss estimates result in higher reimbursement rates, while in other loss share agreements, higher loss estimates trigger a reduction in the reimbursement rates. In addition, some of the loss share agreements include clawback provisions that affectrequire the purchaser to remit a payment to the FDIC in the event that the aggregate amount of expected cash flows can result in recognition of provision for loan and lease losses oris less than a loss estimate established by the reversal of previously-recognized provision for loan and lease losses. During the year ended December 31, 2010, total provision for loan and lease losses related to acquired loans, exclusive of the impact ofFDIC. The adjustments to the FDIC receivable equaled $86.9 million. Provision expense for acquired loans amounted to $3.5 millionbased on changes in 2009.

When loan paymentsloss estimates are received prior tomeasured based on the assumed repayment dates,actual reimbursement rates and consider the accretionimpact of discounts recorded on loan balances is accelerated. During the year ended December 31, 2010, discount accretion primarily related to payoffs and unscheduled payment of loans for which a fair value discount had been recorded equaled $145.4 million. No discount for unscheduled loan payments was accreted during 2009. Unscheduled payment of loan balances and post-acquisition deterioration of covered loans and OREO also result in adjustments to the FDIC receivable for changes in the estimated amount that would be covered by the respective loss share agreement. These adjustments resulted in a $42.1 million net reduction in theprojected clawback payment.

First Regional Bank.    On January 29, 2010, FCB entered into an agreement with the FDIC to purchase substantially all the assets and assume the majority of the liabilities of First Regional of Los Angeles, California. Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the transaction, the FDIC had been appointed Receiver of First Regional by the California Department of Financial Institutions.

The loans and other real estate acquired through foreclosure are covered by loss share agreements that provide for the FDIC to absorb 80 percent of losses incurred on covered loans and other real estate in excess of $41.8 million. The 80 percent coverage ratio applies to losses up to $1.0 billion with losses in excess of $1.0 billion covered by the FDIC at a rate of 95 percent. FCB initially recorded a receivable from the FDIC equal to $365.2 million as an estimate of the fair value of the amount that will be reimbursed by the FDIC from the loss share agreements. The Purchase and Assumption Agreement between FCBvarious terms of each loss share agreement and the FDIC includes a true-up payment at the endcomponents of year 10. On March 17, 2020, the true-up measurement date, FCB is required to make a true-up payment to the FDIC equal to 50 percent of the excess, if any, of (i) 20 percent of the stated threshold, or $203.4 million, less (ii) the sum of (a) 25 percent of the asset discount, or $74.9 million, plus (b) 25 percent of the cumulative loss share payments plus (c) the cumulative servicing amount. The cumulative servicing amount is 1 percent of the average covered assets for each year during the terms of the loss share agreements. Current projections suggest a true-up payment of $67.2 million will be payable under the First Regional loss share agreements. The present value of this estimate is netted against the FDIC receivable and is subject to change over the term of the agreements.

First quarter 2010 noninterest income included a bargain purchase gain of $110.3 million that resulted from the FDIC-assisted acquisition of First Regional. During the second and third quarters of 2010, adjustments were made to the initial gain based on additional information regarding the respective acquisition date fair values, which reduced the gain by $2.6 million. These adjustments were made retroactive to the first quarter of 2010 resulting in an adjusted gain of $107.7 million. Our operating results for the period ended December 31, 2010 include the results of the acquired assets and liabilities for the period from January 29, 2010 through December 31, 2010. Accretion and amortization of various purchase accounting discounts and premiums were recorded during 2010.

Sun American Bank.    On March 5, 2010, FCB entered into an agreement with the FDIC to purchase substantially all the assets and assume the majority of the liabilities of SAB of Boca Raton, Florida. Immediately prior to the effectiveness of the acquisition, the FDIC had been appointed Receiver of SAB by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation.

The loans and other real estate acquired through foreclosure are covered by loss share agreements that provide for the FDIC to absorb 80 percent of all losses incurred on covered loans and other real estate up to $99.0 million. Losses in excess of $99.0 million are covered by the FDIC at a rate of 95 percent. FCB initially recorded a receivable from the FDIC equal to $92.4 million as an estimate of the fair value of the amount that will be reimbursed by the FDIC from the loss share agreements. The Purchase and Assumption Agreement between FCB and the FDIC includes a true-up payment at the end of year 10. On May 15, 2020, the true-up measurement date, FCB is required to make a true-up payment to the FDIC equal to 50 percent of the excess, if any, of (i) 20 percent of the stated threshold, or $19.8 million, less (ii) the sum of (a) 25 percent of the asset discount, or $17.5 million, plus (b) 25 percent of the cumulative loss share payments plus (c) the cumulative servicing amount. The cumulative servicing amount is 1 percent of the average covered assets for each year during the terms of the loss share agreements. Although no true-up payment is currently projected under the SAB loss share agreements, those projections are subject to change.

First quarter 2010 noninterest income included a bargain purchase gain of $27.1 million that resulted from the FDIC-assisted acquisition of SAB. During the second quarter of 2010, adjustments were made to the initial gain based on additional information regarding the respective acquisition date fair values, which increased the gain by $657,000. These adjustments were made retroactive to the first quarter of 2010 resulting in an adjusted gain of $27.8 million. Our operating results for the period ended December 31, 2010 include the results of the acquired assets and liabilities for the period from March 5, 2010 through December 31, 2010. Accretion and amortization of various purchase accounting discounts and premiums were recorded during 2010.

During 2009 FCB purchased substantially all the assets and assumed the majority of the liabilities of TVB and VB from the FDIC. FCB measured all assets and liabilities at fair value and recorded loans of $855.6 million and $457.0 million, total assets of $1.11 billion and $795.2 million, deposits of $965.4 million and $709.1 million and total liabilities of $1.05 billion and $766.5 million, respectively. The two transactions resulted in bargain purchase gains in 2009 of $56.4 million and $48.0 million, respectively.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

First Citizens BancShares reported earnings for 2010 of $193.0 million, or $18.50 per share, compared to $116.3 million, or $11.15 per share during 2009. Net income as a percentage of average assets equaled 0.93 percent during 2010, compared to 0.66 percent during 2009. The return on average equity was 11.54 percent for 2010, compared to 7.94 percent for 2009. The $76.7 million, or 65.9 percent, increase in net income reflects improved net interest income, partially offset by higher provision for loan and lease losses and noninterest expense. Noninterest income increased modestly excluding the impact of acquisition gains and entries arising from post-acquisition adjustments to the receivable from the FDIC.

Net interest income during 2010 increased $263.7 million, or 51.7 percent, versus 2009. Average interest-earning assets grew $2.61 billion, or 16.5 percent, during 2010 due primarily to the 2010 FDIC-assisted transactions. The taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earning assets increased 97 basis points to 4.22 percent in 2010 due to balance sheet growth and $145.4 million of accretion of fair value discounts principally caused by large unscheduled loan payments, many of which were payoffs. This unscheduled accretion triggered a reduction in the FDIC receivable and reduction of noninterest income of $116.3 million. The impact of accreted loan discounts resulting from large unscheduled loan payments on acquired loans significantly increased the taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earning assets during 2010. No similar adjustments were recorded in prior periods. Since such large unscheduled payments are unpredictable, the yield on interest-earning assets will likely experience volatility in future periods. Additionally, improvements in expected cash flows on acquired loans identified in the third and fourth quarters of 2010 that were recognized as impaired at the acquisition dates resulted in the reclassification of $97.0 million classified as nonaccretable difference to accretable yield. This reclassification will increase the amount of accretable yield recognized in future periods.

The provision for loan and lease losses increased $64.2 million, to $143.5 million for 2010, compared to $79.4 million for 2009. Provision expense for 2010 reflects an $83.4 million increase resulting from post-acquisition deterioration of acquired loans covered by loss share agreements, partially offset by a $22.2 million reduction for noncovered loans. The provision expense on acquired loans triggered a corresponding increase in the indemnification asset, resulting in $66.7 million of noninterest income.

Net loan and lease charge-offs for 2010 totaled $88.7 million, compared to $64.7 million recorded during the same period of 2009. Net charge-offs of noncovered loans totaled $49.6 million in 2010, down $15.1 million from 2009. This improvement is the result of declining loan losses in residential construction, EquityLine, and indirect automobile loans during 2010. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases not covered by FDIC loss share agreements in 2010 equaled 0.43 percent, compared to 0.56 percent for the prior year. Net charge-offs on covered loans during 2010 equaled $39.1 million, or 1.76 percent, of average covered loans. No covered loan losses were incurred during 2009.

BancShares had $2.12 billion and $1.27 billion of covered assets at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The amount of covered assets identified as nonperforming at December 31, 2010 equaled $363.5 million, up $143.3 million from the prior year due to nonperforming assets resulting from the 2010 FDIC-assisted transactions and additional nonperforming assets arising from the 2009 FDIC-assisted transactions. Nonperforming assets not covered

by FDIC loss share agreements totaled $196.7 million at December 31, 2010, compared to $154.0 million at December 31, 2009. Nonperforming assets not covered by FDIC loss share agreements represent 1.71 percent of noncovered loans, leases and OREO as of December 31, 2010, compared to 1.32 percent of December 31, 2009.

Noninterest income increased $2.8 million, or 0.7 percent, during 2010. The net impact of the acquisition gains and entries arising from post-acquisition adjustments to the receivable from the FDIC equaled $89.2is provided in Table 4. As of December 31, 2013, the FDIC receivable included $38.4 million we expect to receive through reimbursements from the FDIC and $55.0 million we expect to recover through prospective amortization of the asset due to post-acquisition improvements in 2010 comparedthe related loans.


The timing of expected losses on acquired assets is monitored by management to $107.2 million in 2009. Excluding these amounts, noninterest income increased $20.8 million, or 7.0 percent during 2010. Cardholder and merchant services income increased $12.2 million, or 12.8 percent during 2010 as payment transactions continue to migrate toward debit cards, while income from wealth management services grew $5.3 million. Deposit service charges declined $4.3 million, or 5.5 percent,ensure the net impact of lower fees from overdrafts and commercial service charges offset partly by incremental service charges for deposit accounts resulting from FDIC-assisted transactions. Due primarily to the implementation of revised Regulation Elosses will occur during the third quarterrespective loss share terms. When projected losses are expected to occur after expiration of 2010, insufficient fund and overdraft fees declined $2.6 million. The Dodd-Frank Actthe relevant loss share agreement, the FDIC receivable is projectedadjusted to cause a significant reduction in income derived from debit card transactions in 2011.

Noninterest expense increased $81.9 million, or 12.6 percent, during 2010, primarily due to acquisition related activities, including operating costs for acquired branches and expenses forreflect the operation and dispositionforfeiture of other real estate. Of the increase in total noninterest expenses, $61.9 million relates to costs incurred in the new locations resulting from the FDIC-assisted transactions. Salaries and wages increased $33.6 million, or 12.7 percent, occupancy costs grew $6.5 million, or 9.8 percent, and equipment expenses increased $6.6 million or 10.9 percent during 2010. Collection expenses increased $18.4 million due to costs incurred for loans acquired in the FDIC-assisted transactions.

INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS


Interest-earning assets include loans and leases, investment securities interest bearing cash in banks and overnight investments, all of which reflect varying interest rates based on the risk level and repricing characteristics of the underlying asset. Riskier interest-earning assetsinvestments typically carry a higher interest rate but expose us to potentially higher levels of default.

market risk.


We have historically focused on maintaining high assethigh-asset quality, which results in a loan and lease portfolio subjected to strenuous underwriting and monitoring procedures. ThatWe avoid high-risk industry concentrations, but we do maintain a concentration of owner-occupied real estate loans to borrowers in medical and medical-related fields. Our focus on asset quality also influences the composition of our investment securities portfolio. At December 31, 2010, United States Treasury and2013, government agency securities represented 85.547.2 percent of our investment securities portfolio. Mortgage-backedavailable for sale, compared to mortgage-backed securities, comprise only 3.2which represented 45.4 percent and U.S. Treasury securities, which represented 6.9 percent of the totalportfolio. The balance of the available-for-sale portfolio while corporate bonds insured under the TLGP represent 10.8 percent.includes common stock of other financial institutions and state, county and municipal securities. Overnight investments are selectively made with the Federal Reserve Bank and other financial institutionsinstitutions.

Interest-earning assets averaged $19.43 billion for 2013, compared to $18.97 billion for 2012. The increase of $459.0 million, or 2.4 percent, was due to higher levels of investment securities and overnight investments offset, in part, by lower acquired loans.

Loans and leases

Loans and leases totaled $13.13 billion at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $251.6 million, or 1.9 percent, when compared to December 31, 2012. This follows a decrease of $558.4 million, or 4.0 percent, in total loans and leases from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012.

Total originated loans increased $528.2 million from $11.58 billion at December 31, 2012, to $12.10 billion at December 31, 2013, after declining $5.5 million from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012. Acquired loans totaled $1.03 billion at December 31, 2013, compared to $1.81 billion at December 31, 2012, and $2.36 billion at December 31, 2011. Originated loan demand improved during the second half of 2013, while acquired loan balances continued to decline due to repayments and charge-offs. Table 5 provides the composition of acquired and originated loan and leases for the past five years.

Originated commercial mortgage loans totaled $6.36 billion at December 31, 2013, 52.6 percent of originated loans and leases. The December 31, 2013, balance increased $333.1 million or 5.5 percent since December 31, 2012, and $179.2 million or 3.1 percent between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012. The growth reflects our continued focus on small business customers, particularly among medical-related and other professional customers. These loans are underwritten based primarily upon the cash flow from the operation of the business rather than the value of the real estate collateral.

At December 31, 2013, originated revolving mortgage loans totaled $2.11 billion, representing 17.5 percent of total originated loans outstanding, a decrease of $96.8 million or 4.4 percent since December 31, 2012, following a decrease of $86.2 million or 3.8 percent between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012. The reduction in revolving mortgage loans over the prior two years is a result of a reduced emphasis on this class of lending, partially resulting from eroded collateral values related to junior lien mortgage loans.

At December 31, 2013, originated commercial and industrial loans equaled $1.08 billion or 8.9 percent of total originated loans and leases, an increase of $42.6 million or 4.1 percent since December 31, 2012. This follows an increase of $19.4 million or 1.9 percent between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012. We observed improved demand for commercial and industrial lending during 2013, which we attribute to improving confidence among small businesses.

Originated residential mortgage loans totaled $982.4 million at December 31, 2013, up $159.5 million or 19.4 percent from December 31, 2012. This follows an increase of $38.8 million, or 4.9 percent between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012. While the majority of residential mortgage loans that are withinwe originated in 2013 were sold to investors, other loans, including affordable housing loans with nonconforming loan-to-value ratios, were retained in the loan portfolio.

Originated leases totaled $381.8 million or 3.2 percent of total originated loans at December 31, 2013, an increase of $51.1 million or 15.4 percent since December 31, 2012. This follows an increase of $17.8 million or 5.7 percent between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012.

Originated commercial construction and land development loans totaled $319.8 million or 2.6 percent of total originated loans at December 31, 2013, an increase of $10.7 million or 3.4 percent since December 31, 2012. Modest growth during 2013 follows a decrease of $72.0 million, or 18.9 percent between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012. Most of the construction portfolio relates to borrowers in North Carolina and Virginia where real estate values have been more stable than in other markets in which we operate.

Originated consumer loans totaled $386.5 million at December 31, 2013, down $30.2 million or 7.2 percent since December 31, 2012. Consumer loans decreased $80.8 million or 16.2 percent between December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012. This decline is the result of the general contraction in consumer borrowing over the past several years due to weak customer demand and continued run-off in our risk tolerance.

During 2010,automobile sales finance portfolio.


At December 31, 2013, acquired commercial mortgage loans totaled $642.9 million, representing 62.5 percent of the total acquired portfolio compared to $1.05 billion at December 31, 2012, and $1.26 billion at December 31, 2011. Acquired residential mortgage loans totaled $213.9 million or 20.8 percent of the acquired portfolio as of December 31, 2013, compared to $297.9 million or 16.5 percent of total acquired loans at December 31, 2012, and $327.6 million or 13.9 percent of total acquired loans at December 31, 2011. Acquired commercial construction and land development loans amounted to $78.9 million, or 7.7 percent of total acquired loans at December 31, 2013, compared to $237.9 million at December 31, 2012, and $338.9 million from December 31, 2011. The changes in interest-earning assets primarilyacquired loan balances reflect continued reductions of outstanding loans from the impactFDIC-assisted transactions from payments, charge-offs and foreclosure.

Management believes 2013 loan growth results from improving economic conditions. We expect originated loan growth to continue in 2014 with strengthening economic stability. Loan growth projections are subject to change due to further economic deterioration or improvement and other external factors.

Investment securities

Investment securities available for sale equaled $5.39 billion at December 31, 2013, compared to $5.23 billion at December 31, 2012. Available for sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of assets acquiredother comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes. As of December 31, 2013, investment securities available for sale had a net unrealized loss of $16.6 million, compared to a net unrealized gain of $33.8 million that existed as of December 31, 2012. After evaluating the securities with unrealized losses, management concluded that no other than temporary impairment existed as of December 31, 2013.

During 2013, in an effort to protect portfolio market value and profitability in a rising rate environment while not detracting from earnings in the FDIC-assisted transactions. current rate environment, management shifted the asset allocation towards more floating rate securities. A portion of proceeds from matured and called U.S. Government agency and U.S. Treasury securities were reinvested into collateralized mortgage obligations issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. As as result, the carrying value of mortgage-backed securities available for sale, including collateralized mortgage obligations, increased $1.12 billion or 84.0 percent during 2013, while U.S. Government agency securities declined $511.0 million or 16.7 percent and U.S. Treasury securities declined $450.2 million or 54.7 percent. At December 31, 2013, 76.0 percent of the collateralized mortgage obligation portfolio was floating rate and 24.0 percent was fixed rate.

Changes in the total balance of our investment securities portfolio result from trends among loans and leases, deposits and short-term borrowings. WhenGenerally, when inflows arising from deposit and treasury services products exceed loan and lease demand, we invest excess funds ininto the securities portfolio. Conversely, when loan demand exceeds growth in deposits and short-term borrowings, we allow overnight investments to decline and use proceeds from maturing securities to fund loan demand.

Loans and Leases

Loans and leases totaled $13.5 billion at December 31, 2010, an increase of $670.0 million or 5.2 percent over December 31, 2009. Loans covered under loss share agreements totaled $2.01 billion at December 31, 2010 or 14.9 percent of The total loans, compared to $1.17 billion at December 31, 2009, representing 9.2 percent of loans outstanding. Table 5 details the composition of loans and leases for the past five years.

Loans not covered by loss share agreements secured by commercial mortgages totaled $4.74 billion at December 31, 2010, a $185.8 million or 4.1 percent increase from December 31, 2009. In 2009 commercial mortgage loans increased 4.8 percent over 2008. The sustained growth reflects our continued focus on small business customers, particularly among medical-related and other professional customers. As a percentage of total loans and leases not covered by loss share agreements, noncovered commercial mortgage loans represent 41.3 percent at December 31, 2010 and 39.1 percent at

December 31, 2009. The majority of our commercial mortgage portfolio not covered by loss share agreements is secured by owner-occupied facilities rather than investment property. These loans are underwritten based primarily upon the cash flow from the operation of the business rather than the value of the real estate collateral.

At December 31, 2010, there were $1.09 billion of commercial mortgage loans covered by loss share agreements, 54.3 percent of the $2.01 billion of covered loans. Including the commercial mortgage loans covered by loss share agreements, total commercial mortgage loans as of December 31, 2010 total $5.83 billion or 43.2 percent of total loans and leases.

There were no foreign loans or leases, covered or noncovered, in any period.

At December 31, 2010, revolving mortgage loans secured by real estate totaled $2.23 billion, compared to $2.15 billion at December 31, 2009. Of the $2.23 billion at December 31, 2010, $17.9 million are covered by loss share agreements. There were no revolving mortgage loans covered by loss share agreements at December 31, 2009. The 2010 increase in total revolving mortgage loans results principally from changes to accounting for QSPE’s and controlling financial interests that became effective on January 1, 2010. As a result of the accounting change, $97.3 million of revolving mortgage loans that were previously securitized, sold and removed from the consolidated balance sheet were returned to the balance sheet in the first quarter of 2010 upon adoption of the new accounting guidance. At December 31, 2010, revolving mortgage loans represented 16.7 percent of total loans and leases, compared to 16.8 percent at December 31, 2009.

Commercial and industrial loans not covered by loss share agreements equaled $1.81 billion at December 31, 2010, compared to $1.83 billion at December 31, 2009, a decline of $26.7 million or 1.5 percent. This decrease follows a decline of $52.7 million or 2.8 percent from 2008 to 2009. Weak economic conditions have limited our ability to find loans that meet our underwriting standards, especially within the commercial and industrial portfolio. Commercial and industrial loans not covered by loss share agreements represent 15.7 percent and 15.7 percent of total loans and leases not covered by loss share agreements, respectively, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Commercial and industrial loans covered by loss share agreements totaled $132.5 million which is 6.6 percent of total covered loans. Including covered loans, total commercial and industrial loans as of December 31, 2010 equal $1.94 billion, or 13.8 percent of total loans and leases.

Consumer loans not covered by loss share agreements amounted to $659.2 million at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $282.7 million, or 30.0 percent, from the prior year. This decline results from our decision during 2008 to discontinue originations of automobile sales finance loans through our dealer network. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, consumer loans not covered by loss share agreements represent 5.7 percent and 8.1 percent of total noncovered loans, respectively.

There were $878.8 million of residential mortgage loans not covered by loss share agreements and an additional $74.5 million covered for a total of $953.3 million of residential mortgage loans as of December 31, 2010, representing 7.1 percent of total loans and leases. Customer interest in closed-end residential mortgage loans remains modest with most customers choosing a loan with a revolving structure.

Construction and land development loans not covered by loss share agreements equaled $531.9 million at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $90.5 million, or 14.5 percent from December 31, 2009. Of the total amount outstanding, only $35.7 million was in the Atlanta, Georgia and southwest Florida markets, a decrease of $32.1 million from December 31, 2009. Both of these market areas experienced significant reductions in real estate values during the past three years. Most of the remaining noncovered construction and land development loans are in North Carolina and Virginia, and generally are not comprised of loans to builders to acquire, develop or construct homes in large tracts of real estate.

Construction and land development loans covered by loss share agreements at December 31, 2010 totaled $474.2 million, 23.6 percent of total loans covered by loss share agreements. Total construction and land development loans equal $1.01 billion, which is 7.5 percent of total loans and leases.

We expect non-acquisition loan growth to be modest in 2011 due to the weak demand for loans and widespread customer efforts to deleverage. All growth projections are subject to change due to further economic deterioration or improvement and other external factors.

Investment Securities

Investment securities available for sale at December 31, 2010 and 2009 totaled $4.51 billion and $2.93 billion, respectively, a $1.58 billion or 54.0 percent increase. Growth in investment securities during 2010 resulted from an increase in liquidity due to weak loan demand, organic deposit growth and the FDIC-assisted transactions. Additionally, we decided to reduce the overall level of overnight investments in late-2010 and placed a portion of this liquidity in the

available for sale investment securities portfolio. Substantially all investment securities consist of U.S Treasury and government agency securities with final maturities of three years or less. The agency securities generally are callable by the agency at periodic intervals prior to the final maturity date. Available for sale securities are reported at their aggregate fair value, and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are included as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes.

Table 6 presents detailed information relating to the investment securities portfolio.

Income on interest-earning assets.

Interest income amounted to $969.4 million during 2010, a $231.2 million or 31.3 percent increase from 2009, compared to a $75.2 million or 9.2 percent decrease from 2008 to 2009. The increase in interest income during 2010 is primarily the result of higher average balances and the accretion of discounts and recognition of accretable yield on acquired loans. During 2010, interest-earning assets averaged $18.46 billion, an increase of $2.6 billion from 2009. This increase results from loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions and investment security purchases resulting from deposit growth within our legacy branch network in excess of loan and lease demand.

Table 7 analyzes taxable-equivalent yields and rates on interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the five years ending December 31, 2010. The taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets was 5.27 percent during 2010, a 58 basis point increase from the 4.69 percent reported in 2009, the result of the accretion during 2010 of fair value discounts on acquired loans. The taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets equaled 5.51 percent in 2008.

The taxable-equivalent yield on the loan and lease portfolio increased from 5.49 percent in 2009 to 6.61 percent in 2010. The 112 basis point yield increase coupled with the $1.80 billion, or 14.9 percent growth in average loans and leases contributed to an increase in loan interest income of $255.0 million or 38.7 percent over 2009. The increased yield resulted from $145.4 million of accretion of fair value discounts during 2010 primarily related to payoffs and large unscheduled loan payments on acquired loans. Management had initially concluded that these payments would not be received during 2010. Loan interest income decreased in 2009 from 2008 by $22.3 million or 3.3 percent, driven by a 56 basis point yield decrease, partially offset by incremental interest from a $756.1 million, or 6.7 percent increase in average loans and leases.

Interest income earned on the investment securities portfolio amounted to $52.5book value increased $211.5 million and $77.9 million during 2010 and 2009, respectively, with a taxable-equivalent yield of 1.48 percent and 2.36 percent. The $25.4 million decrease in investment interest income during 2010 reflected the 88 basis points decrease in the taxable-equivalent yield. The $44.9 million decrease in interest income earned2013 largely on investment securities during 2009 resulted in a 173 basis point decrease in the taxable-equivalent yield. Higher average balanceslower loan balances. Details of investment securities during 2010at December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and 2009 offset a portionDecember 31, 2011, are provided in Table 6.

Table of the yield reduction. The yield reductions in 2010 and 2009 reflect the extraordinarily low interest rates on investment securities. We anticipate the yield on investment securities will remain depressed until the Federal Open Market Committee begins to raise the benchmark fed funds rates, an action that would likely lead to higher asset yields.

INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES


Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits, as well as short-term borrowings and long-term obligations. Deposits represent our primary funding source, although we also utilize non-deposit borrowings to stabilize our liquidity base and to fulfill commercial customer demand for treasury services. Interest-bearing liabilities totaled $15.02$13.65 billion as of December 31, 2010, up $1.45 billion2013, down $559.3 million from December 31, 20092012, due to growth incontinued migration of time deposits in both legacy markets and the First Regional and SAB acquisitions.to demand deposit products. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $2.22 billiondecreased $387.7 million, or 17.12.7 percent over 2009 levelsfrom 2012 to 2013 due to lower time deposits and the four FDIC-assisted transactions since July 2009 and strong organic growth in legacy markets. During 2009, interest-bearing liabilities increased $700.72012 early redemption of $150.0 million or 5.7 percent over 2008.

For 2013, interest-bearing deposits averaged $12.85 billion, a decrease of $207.1 million, or 15.01.6 percent from the $15.34 billion2012. Average time deposits decreased $894.7 million during 2013, with partially offsetting increases in deposits recorded as of December 31, 2009. Deposits assumed from First Regional and SAB during the first quarter of 2010 totaled $1.71 billion but, due to anticipated runoff, deposit balances in these markets equaled $952.3 million at December 31, 2010, a decline of $755.4 million or 44.2 percent. Strong organic growth contributed $1.28 billion to the increase in deposits during 2010.

Balances increased materially in most categories of deposits, most notably money market accounts which increased $879.5 million or 21.0 percent from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010, and demand deposits which increased $761.0 million or 23.7 percent. Time deposits increased only $396.9 million or 7.1 percent, with nearly all of the growth attributable to First Regional and SAB. Low interest rates have caused a shift in customer preference away from time deposits to short-term, liquid accounts. Continuing economic uncertainty continues to make traditional bank deposits an attractive investment option for our customer base.

Interest-bearing deposits averaged $13.77 billion during 2010, an increase of $2.16 billion or 18.6 percent. Average money market balances increased $946.3 million or 24.4 percent while average time deposits increased $858.7 million or 15.4 percent. During 2009, average time deposits increased $182.7 million or 3.4 percent.

At December 31, 2010, deposits include $3.07 billion of time deposits with balances of $100,000 or more. The scheduled maturity of those time deposits is detailed in Table 8.

Due to the ongoing industry-wide liquidity challenges and our historic focus on maintaining a liquid balance sheet, we continued our focus onstrong liquidity position, core deposit attraction and retention asremains a key business objective. We believe that traditional bank deposit products remain an attractive option for many customers, but as economic conditions improve, we recognize that our liquidity position could be adversely affected as bank deposits are withdrawn and invested elsewhere. Our ability to benefit from various market opportunities could potentially be constrained unless we are able to continue to generatefund future loan growth is dependent on our success at retaining existing deposits and generating new deposits at a reasonable cost.

The $95.8 million reduction resulted from the net impactdecrease in short-term borrowings since December 31, 2012, is due to repayments of reduced balances of our treasury services sweep accounts offset by higher current maturities of long-termFHLB borrowings. Table 10 provides information on short-term borrowings.

Long-term obligations equaled

At $510.8 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, long-term obligations totaled $809.92013, up $65.8 million and $797.4 million, respectively, an increase of $12.6 million or 1.6 percent. from December 31, 2012. The increase since December 31, 2009 resulted from the assumption2012, is a result of additional FHLB obligations in the FDIC-assisted transactions consummated in 2010.

For 2010borrowings.


At December 31, 2013 and 2009,December 31, 2012, long-term obligations included $273.2$96.4 million in junior subordinated debentures representing obligations to two special purpose entities, FCB/NC Capital Trust I and FCB/NC Capital Trust III, (the Capital Trusts).

The proceeds from the trust preferred securities were used to purchase the junior subordinated debentures issued by BancShares.

BancShares has guaranteed all obligations of the Capital Trusts. The Dodd-Frank Act contains provisions that will eliminate our ability to include the trust preferred securities in tier 1 risk-based capital effective January 1, 2015. The inability to include the securities in tier 1 risk-based capital may lead us to redeem a portion or all of the securities prior to their scheduled maturity dates.

ContentsExpense of interest-bearing liabilities

Interest expense amounted to $195.1 million in 2010, a $32.5 million or 14.3 percent decrease from 2009. This followed an $87.3 million or 27.7 percent decrease in interest expense during 2009 compared to 2008. For 2010, the decrease in interest expense was the net result of lower interest rates offset in part by increased levels of interest-bearing liabilities. The blended rate on total interest-bearing liabilities equaled 1.28 percent during 2010, compared to 1.75 percent in 2009 and 2.56 percent in 2008.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits equaled $149.2 million during 2010, down $34.6 million or 18.8 percent from 2009. The impact of lower interest rates more than offset added expense from higher deposit balances. Lower market interest rates caused the aggregate rate on interest-bearing deposits to decline to 1.08 percent during 2010, down 50 basis points from 2009.

Interest expense on long-term obligations increased $1.7 million or 4.5 percent during 2010 due to new Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings assumed as a part of the 2010 FDIC-assisted transactions. The rate on average long-term obligations decreased 58 basis points from 5.18 percent in 2009 to 4.60 percent in 2010.




NET INTEREST INCOME


Net interest income amounted to $774.2for 2013 totaled $740.2 million during 2010,, a $263.7$174.5 million, or 51.719.1 percent decrease from 2012. Net interest income for 2012 totaled $914.7 million, a $43.7 million increase over 2009.the $871.0 million recorded during 2011. The taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earning assets equaled 4.22 percent for 2010, up 97decreased 102 basis points during 2013 to 3.82 percent from 4.84 percent during 2012, primarily the result of an unfavorable rate variance resulting from lower asset yields. The taxable-equivalent net yield equaled 4.65 percent during 2011.
The 2013 reduction in the taxable-equivalent net yield on interest earning assets reversed a three-year trend of increasing net yields that began in 2010. During that period, loan yields increased as yields on investment securities and funding costs declined.
Interest income amounted to $796.8 million during 2013, a decrease of $208.0 million, or 20.7 percent, as compared to 2012. Interest-earning assets averaged $19.43 billion during 2013, an increase of $459.0 million, or 2.4 percent, from 2012.
Interest income from loans and leases decreased $210.4 million, or 21.7 percent, from $967.6 million in 2012, to $757.2 million in 2013. The 2013 decline is the combined result of a 138 basis-point decrease in the taxable-equivalent loan yield and a $397.0 million reduction in average loans and leases. The reduction in average loans represents continuing reductions in acquired loans, partially offset by originated loan growth.
The 2013 loan yield reduction ended a three-year trend of improving returns on the loan portfolio. The taxable-equivalent loan yield increased from 5.49 percent in 2009 in each successive year until 2012, when the loan yield reached 7.15 percent, before declining to 5.77 percent during 2013. The growth from 2009 to 2012 and the reduction in 2013 are due to changes in acquired loan accretion income resulting from the 3.25 percentFDIC-assisted transactions. Accretion income for 2009. The increase from 2009 resulted principally from2013, 2012 and 2011 totaled $224.7 million, $304.0 million and $319.4 million, respectively. Accretion income will continue to decline as acquired loan balances are repaid. Factors affecting the amount of accretion ofinclude unscheduled loan payments, changes in estimated cash flows and impairment. Additionally, fair value discounts on acquired loans and the positive impact of yields and rates on acquired loans and assumed deposits.

Net interest income for 2010 included $145.4 million of accretion primarily related to large unscheduled payments received on acquired loans. No such accretion was recognized during 2009. The continuing accretion of fair value discounts resulting from acquired loans will likely contribute to volatility in net interest income in future periods. Fair value discounts related tonon-pooled loans that have been repaid unexpectedly will beare accreted into interest income at the time the loan obligation is satisfied. Unless additional uncertainty about future payments exists, discounts associated with loans that display large unscheduled payments will be recognizedCollectively, these factors may contribute to volatility in loan interest income in future periods.

Interest income earned on investment securities totaled $36.9 million, $35.5 million and $46.0 million, respectively, during 2013, 2012 and 2011. During 2013, the benefit of a $507.4 million increase in the average investment securities portfolio was largely offset by a 5 basis point reduction in the taxable-equivalent yield. During 2012, the impact of a 35 basis point reduction in the taxable-equivalent yield more than offset the benefit of a $482.8 million increase in the average securities portfolio. The reductions in the taxable-equivalent yield on the investment portfolio during 2013 and 2012 are due to lower reinvestment rates on new securities compared to maturing and called securities. Management anticipates the yield on investment securities will generally remain at current low levels until the Federal Reserve begins to raise the benchmark fed funds rates, an accelerated basis.

During 2009,action that would likely lead to higher asset yields.


Interest expense amounted to $56.6 million in 2013, a $33.5 million, or 37.2 percent decrease from 2012, the result of a 22 basis point decrease in the rate and a $387.7 million decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense declined for the fourth consecutive year during 2013. The rate on all interest-bearing liabilities fell to 0.41 percent during 2013 compared to 0.63 percent during 2012 and 0.96 percent during 2011.
Much of the reduction in funding costs results from a change in the deposit mix. Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits equaled $34.5 million in 2013, compared to $57.6 million in 2012, a $23.1 million decrease. Average time deposits declined from $5.35 billion in 2011 to $4.09 billion in 2012 and $3.20 billion in 2013. While time deposit balances were falling, average money market balances increased from $5.51 billion in 2011 to $5.99 billion in 2012 and $6.34 billion in 2013. While not directly affecting net interest income, equaled $510.5non-interest bearing demand deposits also experienced significant growth from 2011 to 2013.

Interest expense on long-term obligations decreased $8.1 million, a $12.1from $27.5 million or 2.4 percent increase over 2008. The increase from 2008 resulted from balance sheet growth asin 2012 to $19.4 million in 2013, primarily due to the taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earning assets declined by 15 basis points from the prior year to 3.25 percentearly redemption of $150.0 million in trust preferred securities during 2009.

NONINTEREST INCOME


Noninterest income is an essential component of our total revenue and is critical to our ability to sustain an adequate level of profitability. Traditionally, theprofitability levels. The primary sources of noninterest income arehave traditionally consisted of cardholder andservices income, merchant services income, service charges on deposit accounts and revenues derived from wealth management services and fees from processing services. During 2010 and 2009, these traditional sources of noninterest income have been augmented with acquisition gains and entries arising from post-acquisition adjustments toTable 12 provides the FDIC receivable. Noninterest income increased modestly excluding the acquisition gains and the entries resulting from post-acquisition adjustments to the FDIC receivable.

Noninterest income totaled $406.2 million during 2010, an increase of $2.8 million or 0.7 percent from 2009, due primarily to the gain on the 2010 acquisitions, partially offset by adjustments to the FDIC receivable for assets covered by loss share agreements. Excluding the acquisition-related entries, noninterest income increased $20.8 million, or 7.0 percent. Noninterest income during 2009 equaled $403.5 million, a $95.9 million or 31.2 percent increase over 2008 due primarily to acquisition gains. Table 11 presents the major components of noninterest income for the pastprevious five years.

During 2010, BancShares recorded net charges of $46.8 million resulting from2013 and 2012, noninterest income has been significantly influenced by post-acquisition adjustments to the FDIC receivable resulting from the FDIC-assisted transactions. Adjustments to the FDIC receivable are generally offset by noninterest income, with increases to the FDIC receivable generating an increase in noninterest income and reductions in the FDIC receivable triggering a reduction in noninterest income as the FDIC receivable is amortized. During 2013, BancShares

also experienced large recoveries of acquired loan balances that were previously charged off. BancShares records these recoveries as noninterest income rather than as an adjustment to the allowance for covered assets.loan and lease losses since charge-offs on acquired loans are primarily recorded through the nonaccretable difference.

For 2013, noninterest income amounted to $263.6 million, compared to $189.3 million for 2012. The$74.3 million increase in 2013 includes a $29.3 million favorable change in the adjustments to the FDIC receivable represent reductions resulting from large unscheduled acquired loan payments and other acquired loan adjustments, partially offset by increases resulting from post-acquisition deteriorationlower amortization of acquired loans. Adjustments to the FDIC receivable for post-acquisition improvements. Additionally, during 2013, BancShares recognized a $19.2 million increase in recoveries of acquired loan balances previously charged off, net of amounts shared with the FDIC.

Other noninterest income for 2013 included $7.5 million generated from the sale of our rights and most of our obligations under various service agreements with client banks, some of which are controlled by Related Persons. Inclusive of asset impairments and severance costs recorded during 2009 for $2.8in conjunction with the sale that are included in noninterest expense, we recorded a net gain of $5.5 million represent the impact. We will continue to provide processing services to First Citizens Bank and Trust Company, Inc. (FCB-SC), an entity controlled by Related Persons and our largest client bank.

Table of new business and improved investment returns. Other service charges and fees increased $2.9 million or 64.5 percent during 2010, largely resulting from various loan fees on covered loans.

Deposit service charges declined $4.3 million, or 5.5 percent, the net impact of lower fees from overdrafts and commercial service charges offset in part by incremental service charges for deposit accounts resulting from FDIC- assisted transactions. The reduction in fees for overdraft services resulted from changes to Regulation E that were effective in August 2010 that require financial institutions to only provide overdraft services to customers who explicitly elect to use those services. The unfavorable impact of the new regulations will continue in subsequent periods.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE


The primary components of noninterest expense are salaries and related employee benefits, occupancy costs for branch offices and support facilities and equipment and software costs for our branch offices and our technology and operations infrastructure. Noninterest expense equaled $771.4 millionfor 2013, a $4.4 million or 0.6 percent increase from the $766.9 million recorded during 2012, the net result of higher employee benefits expense and lower foreclosure-related expenses.
Salaries and wages have been essentially unchanged during the past three years, following the increases during 2011 and 2010 amounted to $733.4 million, an $81.9 million or 12.6 percent increase over 2009. Noninterest expenses related tothat resulted from workforce expansion associated with the FDIC-assisted transactions accounted for $61.9transactions. Employee benefits, however, have increased significantly over the past three years. During 2013, employee benefits expense increased $11.6 million of the 2010 increase, primarily due to higher salarypension expense. As a result of applying a lower discount rate during 2013, pension expense operatingincreased $8.8 million over 2012. Employee health costs also increased during 2013 due to general increases in health care costs.
Equipment expense increased $0.7 million or 1.0 percent during 2013 due to higher software costs. Equipment expenses will increase in future periods as we continue an effort to update our core technology systems and related business processes. As each phase of the project is completed, we anticipate that equipment expense, including depreciation expense for software and hardware investments and related maintenance expense, will increase. The project will also require facility-related investments, which will result in higher occupancy costs in future periods. The project began in 2013 and will continue until 2016 with total costs estimated to exceed $100.0 million.
Noninterest expense for 2013 includes a $5.8 million increase in consultant fees resulting from technology projects and various strategic business initiatives. Cardholder reward programs increased $5.8 million during 2013 when compared to 2012. The increase was primarily driven by the termination of a debit card reward program during 2012 and adjustments to the estimated redemption rates for the credit card reward program. Advertising expense increased $4.4 million during 2013, when compared to 2012, due to costs associated with promotion of a new corporate brand. Noninterest expense also includes $1.4 million of fixed asset writedowns that resulted from the sale of service agreements with client banks. The writedowns related to the branch facilities and foreclosure-related expense. Noninterest expenseprior technology investments that became impaired as a result of that transaction.
Foreclosure-related expenses decreased $23.5 million, or 57.9 percent, in 2009 was $651.5 million,2013 when compared to 2012, due to a $51.1 million or 8.5 percent increase over 2008 driven by $24.2 milliondecrease in higher FDIC insurance expense and $20.3 million in incremental costs for acquisitions. Table 12 presents the major components of noninterest expense for the past five years.

Salary expense increased $33.6 million or 12.7 percent during 2010 resulting from headcount growth resultingforeclosure activity arising from the FDIC-assisted transactions and merit increases. Salary expense relatedimprovements in real estate values that have contributed to the branches of the FDIC-assisted transactions increased $21.5 million during 2010. During 2009, salary expense increased $5.1 million or 2.0 percent over 2008, primarily due to the headcount growth that resultedmore favorable results from the 2009 FDIC-assisted transactions.

Employee benefit expense increased 0.5 percent during 2010, the net result of higher employer taxes and 401(k) expense, largely offset by reduced employee health costs and pension expense. During 2009, employee benefit expense increased $5.5 million or 9.3 percent over 2008 due to higher pension expense and employee health costs.

Occupancy expense totaled $72.8 million during 2010, a $6.5 million or 9.8 percent increase over 2009. Occupancy expense related to the branches resulting from the FDIC-assisted transactions increased $6.3 million during 2010. During 2009, occupancy expense totaled $66.3 million, a $5.4 million or 8.9 percent increase over 2008 primarily due to higher lease costs and depreciation expense related to expansion during late-2008 and early-2009 in legacy markets.

Equipment expenses increased $6.6 million, or 10.9 percent, during 2010, following a $2.6 million or 4.5 percent increase in 2009. The increases in 2010 and 2009 were principally the result of higher hardware and software costs.

Cardholder and merchant processing expense increased $4.2 million or 9.8 percent during 2010 due to higher transaction volume when compared to 2009. Expenses related to cardholder reward programs increased $3.2 million or 37.4 percent during 2010 due to a new program targeting debit cardholders.

FDIC deposit insurance expense decreased $6.2 million or 21.1 percent during 2010, following an increase of $24.2 million during 2009. The decrease during 2010 represents the net impact of a $7.8 million assessment recognized during 2009 and a higher level of insured deposits during 2010. The increase during 2009 resulted from the special assessment and higher deposit rates charged to insured depository institutions.

Collection expenses increased $18.4 million during 2010 due to costs incurred for loans acquired in the FDIC-assisted transactions following a $2.0 million increase during 2009. Collection expenses include legal costs and fees paid to third parties engaged to assist in collection efforts related to covered loans and leases, and are subject to reimbursement under the FDIC loss share agreements.

Foreclosure-related expenses increased $5.3 million or 35.3 percent during 2010, following an increase of $11.4 million during 2009.collateral liquidation. Foreclosure-related expenses include costs to maintain foreclosed property, write-downs following foreclosure and gains or losses recognized at the time of sale. It is anticipated that foreclosure-related expenses will remain high for the next several years as we continue

Collection expense also declined during 2013 due to liquidate the loans acquiredlower loan balances in the FDIC-assisted transactions, the majorityprocess of which are reimbursable under the FDIC loss share agreements.

Processing fees paid to third parties increased $3.7 million or 37.8 percentcollection.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY


We are committed to effectively managing our capital to protect our depositors, creditors and shareholders. We continually monitor the capital levels and ratios for BancShares and FCB to ensure that they comfortably exceed the minimum requirements imposed by their respective regulatory authorities and to ensure that the subsidiary banks’ capital isthey are appropriate, given each bank’s growth projectionprojections, risk profile and risk profile.potential changes in the regulatory environment. Failure to meet certain capital requirements may result in actions by regulatory agencies that could have a material effectimpact on theour consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2013, no purchases had occurred pursuant to that authorization.

During 2010, FCB requested2012, our board granted authority to purchase up to 100,000 and received regulatory approval25,000 shares of Class A and Class B common stock, respectively, through June 30, 2013. During 2012, we purchased and retired 56,276 shares of Class A common stock and 100 shares of Class B common stock pursuant to mergethe July 1, 2012, board authorization. During 2013, BancShares purchased and retired 1,973 shares of Class A common stock pursuant to July 1, 2012, authorization. Additionally, pursuant to separate authorizations, during 2012, BancShares purchased and retired 606,829 shares of Class B common stock in privately negotiated transactions.

BancShares had $93.5 million of trust preferred capital securities included in tier 1 capital at December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and $243.5 million at December 31, 2011. During 2012, BancShares redeemed $150.0 million of trust preferred capital securities.

Beginning January 1, 2015, 75 percent of our trust preferred capital securities will be excluded from tier 1 capital, with ISB. Under the termsremaining 25 percent phased out January 1, 2016. Elimination of all trust preferred capital securities from the merger, which was completed on January 7, 2011, FCB was the surviving entity, although branchesDecember 31, 2013 capital structure would result in a proforma tier 1 leverage capital ratio of ISB will continue to operate under the nameIronStone Bank9.38 percent, which has become a divisiontier 1 risk-based capital ratio of FCB.14.26 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.76 percent. On a proforma basis assuming disallowance of all trust preferred capital securities, BancShares and FCB willcontinue to remain well-capitalized following the merger with ISB.under current regulatory guidelines.

Prior to the merger of FCB and ISB, the sustained growth and operating losses of ISB had required BancShares to infuse significant amounts of capital into ISB to support its balance sheet growth. Infusions totaled $14.0 million in 2010, $40.5 million in 2009 and $45.8 million in 2008. Since ISB was formed in 1997, BancShares has provided $404.3 million in capital. The 2011 merger allows the combined FCB to utilize its well-capitalized position to support lending programs, business development and growth in legacy markets, and future acquisitions.

BancShares is dependent on FCB to cover its operating expenses, fund its debt obligations and pay shareholder dividends. During 2010, FCB declared dividends to BancShares in the amount of $50.4 million, compared to $60.5 million in 2009 and $54.8 million in 2008. At December 31, 2010, based on limitations imposed by North Carolina General Statutes, FCB had the ability to declare dividends totaling $1.27 billion. However, any dividends declared in excess of $616.1 million would have caused FCB to lose its well-capitalized designation.


Tier 2 capital of BancShares and FCB includes qualifying subordinated debt that was issued in 2005 with a scheduled maturity date of SeptemberJune 1, 2015. Beginning in the third quarterUnder current regulatory guidelines, when subordinated debt is within five years of 2010,its scheduled maturity date, issuers must discount the amount of this qualifying subordinated debt that is eligibleincluded in tier 2 capital decreased $25.0 million to $100.0 million since the scheduled maturity date is within 5 years. The amount eligibleby 20 percent for tier 2 capital will decrease by $25.0 million each year until the debt matures. The amount of subordinated debt that qualifies as tier 2 capital totaled $25.0 million as of December 31, 2013, compared to $50.0 million at December 31, 2012. Subordinated debt will be completely removed from tier 2 capital in the second quarter of 2014, one year prior to the scheduled maturity date. Tier 2of the subordinated debt.

In July 2013, Bank regulatory agencies approved new global regulatory capital guidelines (Basel) aimed at strengthening existing capital requirements for bank holding companies through a combination of higher minimum capital requirements, new capital conservation buffers and more conservative definitions of capital and balance sheet exposure. When fully implemented in January 2019, the rule requires a minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5 percent. The rule also requires a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets, resulting in a total capital ratio of 7.0 percent. The rule also raises the minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0 percent to 6.0 percent and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0 percent.

Management continues to monitor Basel developments and remains committed to managing our capital levels in a prudent manner. BancShares' tier 1 common equity ratio based on the current tier 1 capital and risk-weighted assets calculations, excluding trust preferred securities, is part14.26 percent at December 31, 2013, compared to the fully phased-in requirement of total risk-based capital, reflected7.00 percent.

shareholders' equity of $25.3 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $82.1 million at December 31, 2012. The $56.8 million improvement in AOCI from December 31, 2012, reflects a significant improvement in the funded status of the defined benefit plan, net of an increase in unrealized losses on investment securities available for sale arising due to interest rate changes during 2013.



RISK MANAGEMENT

Effective risk management is critical to our success. The most significant risks we confront are credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting payments pursuant to the contractual terms of loan, lease and investment assets. Interest rate risk results from changes in interest rates which may impact the re-pricing of assets and liabilities in different amounts or at different dates. Liquidity risk is the risk that we will be unable to fund obligations to loan customers, depositors or other creditors at a reasonable cost.
The Dodd-Frank Act contains provisionsrequired that will eliminatebanks with total assets in excess of $10 billion establish an enterprise-wide risk committee consisting of members of its board of directors. At its July 2013 meeting, the board of directors established a Risk Committee that provides oversight of enterprise-wide risk management. The Risk Committee is responsible for establishing risk appetite and supporting tolerances for credit, market and operational risk and ensuring that risk is managed within those tolerances, monitoring compliance with laws and regulations, reviewing the investment securities portfolio to ensure that portfolio returns are managed within market risk tolerance and monitoring our ability to include $265.0 million of trust preferred securities in tier 1 risk-based capital effective January 1, 2015. BancShares’ trust preferred securities that currently qualify as tier 1 capital will be phased out in equal increments of $88.3 million over a three-year term, beginning in 2013. Based on BancShares’ capital structure as of December 31, 2010,legal activity and associated risk. With guidance from and oversight by the impact of the reduction of $88.3 million results in a tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 8.76 percent, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.19 percent, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.27 percent. Elimination of the full $265.0 million of trust preferred securities from the December 31, 2010 capital structure would result in a proforma tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 7.93 percent, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.83 percent, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.91 percent. Although these are significant decreases, BancShares would continue to remain well-capitalized under current regulatory guidelines. FCB would also remain well-capitalized on a proforma basis.

RISK MANAGEMENT

In the normal course of business, BancShares is exposed to various risks. To manage the major risks that are inherent in the operation of a financial holding company and to provide reasonable assurance that our long-term business objectives will be attained, various policies and riskRisk Committee, management processes identify, monitor and manage risk within appropriate ranges. Management continually refines and enhances its risk management policies and procedures to maintain effective risk management programs and processes.

Our primary

The Dodd-Frank Act also mandated that stress tests be developed and performed to ensure that financial institutions have sufficient capital to absorb losses and support operations during multiple economic and bank scenarios. Bank holding companies with total consolidated assets between $10 billion and $50 billion, including BancShares, will undergo annual company-run stress tests. As directed by the Federal Reserve, summaries of BancShares’ results in the severely adverse stress tests will be available to the public starting in June 2015. Through the stress testing program that has been implemented, BancShares and FCB will comply with current regulations. The results of stress testing activities will be considered in combination with other risk exposuresmanagement and monitoring practices to maintain an effective risk management program.
Mortgage reform rules mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act became effective in January 2014, requiring lenders to make a reasonable, good faith determination of a borrower's ability to repay any consumer credit transaction secured by a dwelling and to limit prepayment penalties. Increased risks of legal challenge, private right of action and regulatory enforcement are credit, interest ratepresented by these rules. BancShares implemented the required system, process, procedural and liquidity risk. product changes prior to the effective dates of the new rules. We have modified our underwriting standards to ensure compliance with the ability to repay requirements and have determined that we will continue to offer both qualified and non-qualified mortgage products. Historical performance and conservative underwriting of impacted loan portfolios mitigates the risks of non-compliance.
Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the amount of a loan, lease or investment when it is contractually due. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in market interest rates. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, creditors, investors or borrowers.

Credit Riskmanagement


The maintenance of excellent asset quality has historically been one of our key performance measures. Loans and leases not coveredacquired by loss share agreements with the FDIC were underwritten in accordance with our credit policies and procedures and are subjectedsubject to periodic ongoing reviews. Loans covered by loss share agreements with the FDICAcquired loans were recorded at fair value at the timeas of the acquisition date and are subjectedsubject to periodic reviews to identify any further credit deterioration. Our independent credit review function conducts risk reviews and analyses for the purpose of ensuringboth acquired and originated loans to ensure compliance with credit policies and to closely monitor asset quality trends. The risk reviews include portfolio analysis by geographic location, industry, collateral type and horizontal reviews across industry and collateral sectors.product. We strive to identify potential problem loans as early as possible, to record charge-offs or write-downs as appropriate and to maintain adequate allowances for loan and lease losses that are inherent in the loan and lease portfolio.


We maintain a well-diversified loan and lease portfolio and seek to avoidminimize the risk associated with large concentrations within specific geographic areas, collateral types or industries. The ongoing expansion of our branch network has allowed us to mitigate our historic exposure to geographic risk concentration, particularly within North Carolina and Virginia. Despite our focus on diversification, several characteristics of our loan portfolio subject us to notable risk. These includesignificant risk, such as our concentrationconcentrations of real estate secured loans, medical-relatedrevolving mortgage loans and the existence of high loan-to-valuemedical-related loans.


We have historically carried a significant concentration of real estate secured loans. WeWithin our originated loan portfolio, we mitigate that exposure through our underwriting policies that principallyprimarily rely on adequate borrower cash flow rather than underlying collateral values. When we do rely on underlying real property values, we favor financing secured by owner-occupied real property

and, as a result, a large percentage of our real estate secured loans are owner-occupied.owner occupied. At December 31, 2010,2013,

Among real estate secured loans, our revolving mortgage loans present a heightened risk due to long commitment periods during which the financial position of individual borrowers or collateral values may deteriorate significantly. In addition, a large percentage of our revolving mortgage loans are secured by junior liens. Substantial declines in collateral values could cause junior lien positions to become effectively unsecured. Revolving mortgage loans secured by real estate amounted to $2.11 billion, or 17.5 percent, of originated loans at December 31, 2013, compared to $2.21 billion, or 19.1 percent, at December 31, 2012, and $2.30 billion, or 19.8 percent, at December 31, 2011.

Except for loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions, we have not acquired revolving mortgages in the secondary market nor have we originated these loans to customers outside of our market areas. All originated revolving mortgage loans were underwritten by us based on our standard lending criteria. The revolving mortgage loan portfolio consists largely of variable rate lines of credit which allow customer draws during the entire contractual period of the line of credit, typically 15 years. Approximately 85 percent of outstanding balances at December 31, 2013, require interest-only payments, while the remaining require monthly payments equal to 1.5 percent of the outstanding balance. Approximately 90.2 percent of the revolving mortgage portfolio relates to properties in North Carolina and Virginia. Approximately 35.2 percent of the loan balances outstanding are secured by senior collateral positions while the remaining 64.8 percent are secured by junior liens.

During 2013, we engaged a third party to obtain credit quality data on certain of our junior lien revolving mortgage loans in an effort to analyze the default risk and loss severity, given recent changes in collateral values. By gathering information on the current lien position and delinquency status for both our junior lien position and the related senior lien, we were able to analyze the impact of the new data on our loss estimates. Less than 1 percent of the sampled junior liens had a related senior lien that was more than 90 days past due. Management concluded that, in the aggregate, the credit quality of loans secured by junior liens was in line with expectations and consistent with the credit quality and the probability of default of loans secured by senior liens.

Originated loans and leases to borrowers in medical, dental or related fields totaled $3.02$3.32 billion as of December 31, 2010 and $2.93 billion as2013, which represents 27.5 percent of December 31, 2009, representing 26.3 percent and 25.1 percent of noncoveredoriginated loans and leases, ascompared to $3.02 billion or 26.1 percent of the respective dates.originated loans and leases at December 31, 2012, and $3.07 billion or 26.5 percent of originated loans and leases at December 31, 2011. The credit risk on these loansof this industry concentration is mitigated through our underwriting policies that emphasize reliance on adequate borrower cash flow rather than underlying collateral value. When we do principally rely on collateral value we favorand our preference for financing secured by owner-occupied real property. Except for this single concentration, no other industry represented more than 10 percent of noncoveredtotal originated loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2010.

In addition to geographic and industry concentrations, we monitor our loan and lease portfolio for other risk characteristics. Among the key indicators2013.

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and leases and OREO resulting from both acquired and restructured loans that are both covered and not covered by FDIC loss share agreements. With the exception of certain residential mortgage loans, theoriginated loans. The accrual of interest on noncoveredoriginated loans and leases is discontinued when we deem that collection of additional principal or interest is doubtful. NoncoveredOriginated loans and leases are returned to accrual status when both principal and interest are current and the asset is determined to be performing in accordance with the terms of the loan instrument. The accrualAccretion of interest on certain residential mortgageincome for acquired loans is discontinued when awe are unable to estimate the amount or timing of cash flows. This designation may be made at acquisition date or subsequent to acquisition date, including at maturity when no formal repayment plan has been established. Acquired loans may begin or resume accretion of income if information becomes available that allows us to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows. Table 17 provides details on nonperforming assets and other risk elements.

At December 31, 2013, BancShares’ nonperforming assets amounted to $165.6 million or 1.25 percent of total loans and leases plus OREO, compared to $310.4 million or 2.29 percent at December 31, 2012, and $553.8 million or 3.92 percent at December 31, 2011. Of the $165.6 million in nonperforming assets at December 31, 2013, $75.6 million related to acquired assets while the remaining $90.1 million resulted from originated assets. Nonperforming assets from originated loans represented 0.74 percent of originated loans, leases and OREO at December 31, 2013, compared to 1.15 percent at December 31, 2012.

Acquired nonaccrual loans equaled $28.5 million as of December 31, 2013, compared to $74.5 million at December 31, 2012, and $302.1 million at December 31, 2011. The 2013 reduction in acquired nonaccrual loans resulted from resolution of impaired loans, while the reduction during 2012 primarily results from the deployment of an acquired loan is more than three monthly payments past due,accounting system

Utilization of the acquired loan accounting system improved our ability to forecast both the timing and the accrualamount of interest resumes when the loan is less than three monthly payments past due. cash flows on acquired loans, allowing us to accrete income on more of these assets under existing accounting standards. Originated nonaccrual loans decreased $36.7 million from December 31, 2012, to $53.2 million at December 31, 2013, due to lower nonaccrual commercial mortgage loans.

OREO includes foreclosed property and branch facilities that we have closed but not sold. Restructured loans include accruing loans that we have modified in order to enable a financially distressed borrower an opportunity to continue making payments under terms more favorable than we would normally extend. Nonperforming asset balances for the past five years are presented in Table 14.

Nonperforming assetsNoncovered OREO totaled $36.9 million at December 31, 2010 totaled $560.1 million,2013, compared to $374.3$43.5 million at December 31, 2012, and $50.4 million at December 31, 2009 and $71.7 million at 2011. At December 31, 2008. As a percentage of total loans, leases2013, construction and OREO, nonperforming assetsland development properties including vacant land for development represented 4.10 percent, 2.89 percent and 0.61 percent as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Of the $560.1 million in nonperforming assets at December 31, 2010, $363.5 million are covered by FDIC loss share agreements that provide significant loss protection. The $185.8 million growth in nonperforming assets during 2010 included a $143.2 million increase in nonperforming assets covered by FDIC loss share agreements. Nonperforming assets covered by loss share agreements represent 17.137.6 percent of total covered assets at December 31, 2010, compared to 17.4 percent at December 31, 2009.

The $42.6 million increase in nonperforming assets not covered by loss share agreements wasOREO. Vacant land values experienced an especially steep decline during the economic slowdown due to weak economic conditions causing higher levelsa significant drop in demand and values may continue to decline if demand remains weak.

The allowance for loan and lease lossesALLL reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In calculatingThe ALLL is based on management's evaluation of the allowance,risk characteristics of the loan and lease portfolio under current economic conditions and considers such factors as the financial condition of the borrower, fair market value of collateral and other items that, in our opinion, deserve current recognition in estimating probable loan and lease losses. Our evaluation process is based on historical evidence and current trends among delinquencies, defaults and nonperforming assets.

During 2013, we employ a varietyimplemented enhancements to our modeling methodology for estimating the general reserve component of modeling and estimation toolsthe ALLL for measuring credit risk. Generally,originated loans. Specifically for the originated commercial loans and leases segment, we refined our modeling methodology by increasing the granularity of the historical net loss data used to develop the applicable loss rates by utilizing information that further considers the class of the commercial customers are evaluated individuallyloan and assignedassociated risk rating. For the originated noncommercial segment, we refined our modeling methodology to incorporate specific loan classes and delinquency status trends into the loss rates. The enhanced ALLL estimates implicitly include the risk of draws on open lines within each loan class. Management has also further enhanced a credit grade, while consumer loans are evaluated collectively. The individual credit gradesqualitative framework for commercial loans are assigned based uponconsidering economic conditions, loan concentrations and other relevant factors such asat a loan class level. We believe the borrower’s cash flow,methodology enhancements improve the valuegranularity of any underlying collateralhistorical net loss data and precision of our segment analysis. These enhancements resulted in certain reallocations between segments, allocation of the strengthnonspecific allowance to specific loan classes and a reallocation of any

Other than these modifications, the enhancements to the methodology had no material impact on historical data of credit grade losses and migration patterns among credit grades, we calculate a loss estimate for each credit grade. As loans to borrowers experiencing financial stress are moved to higher-risk credit grades, increased allowances are assigned to that exposure. Since acquiredthe ALLL.


Acquired loans are recorded at fair value as of the loan's acquisition date and allowances are only recorded for post-acquisition credit quality deterioration.

Subsequent to the acquisition date, recurring analyses are performed on the credit quality of acquired loans to determine if expected cash flows have changed. Various criteria are used to select loans to be evaluated including change in accrual status, recent credit grade change, updated collateral appraisal and newly-developed workout plan. Based upon the results of the individual loan reviews, revised impairment amounts are calculated which generally result in additional allowance for loan losses or reversal of previously established allowances.

Groups of consumeroriginated noncommercial loans are aggregated over their remaining estimated behavioral livesby type and probable loss projections for each periodestimates become the basis for the allowance amount. The loss projectionsestimates are based on trends of historical losses, delinquency patterns and various other credit risk indicators. During 2010, based on deepening economic weaknesses indicated by higher unemployment and personal bankruptcy rates, we increased loss estimates for our closed-end consumer loans.

When needed, we also establish specific allowances for certain impaired loans. Impaired loans include restructured loans and nonaccrual commercial purpose loans. The allowance for impaired loans is2013, noncommercial loan charge-offs declined from 2012. Based upon the difference between carrying value and the estimated collateral value or the present value of anticipated cash flows. On impaired loans for which we expect repayment from the customer, the allowance is determined using the present value of expected cash flows. On impaired loans for which repayment from the customer is not anticipated, we rely on the estimated collateral liquidation value to determine the allowance.

The allowance for loan and lease losses also includes a nonspecific component for risks beyond those factors specific to a particular loan, group of loans, or identified by commercial loan credit grade migration analysis. This nonspecific allowance is based upon factors such asgenerally favorable trends in economic conditions inand reduced loss experience, we reduced the markets in which we operate, conditions in specific industries where we have aloss estimates used to establish the allowance for noncommercial loans.

A loan concentration, changes inis considered to be impaired under ASC Topic 310 Receivables when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that BancShares will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the size and mixcontractual terms of the overallloan. Originated impaired loans are placed on nonaccrual status. Originated loan portfolio,relationships rated substandard or worse that are greater than or equal to $500,000 are reviewed for potential impairment on a quarterly basis. Loans classified as TDRs are also reviewed for potential impairment. Specific valuation allowances are established or partial charge-offs are recorded on impaired loans for the growth indifference between the overall loan portfolioamount and other judgmental factors. As of the estimated fair value.

At December 31, 2010, the nonspecific portion of the allowance equaled $13.9 million or 6.1 percent. This compares to $12.1 million or 7.0 percent of the total allowance for loan and lease losses as of December 31, 2009.

At December 31, 2010,2013, the allowance for loan and lease losses allocated to noncoveredoriginated loans totaled $176.5$179.9 million or 1.541.49 percent of originated loans and leases, not covered by loss share agreements, compared to $168.8$179.0 million or 1.451.55 percent at December 31, 2009. The $7.72012, and $180.9 million increase was due to deterioration in credit quality within noncovered commercial loans, revolving mortgage loans and closed-end consumer loans.or 1.56 percent at December 31, 2011. An additional allowance of $51.2$53.5 million relates to coveredacquired loans at December 31, 2010,2013, established as a result of post-acquisition deterioration in credit quality for certain coveredacquired loans. The allowance for coveredacquired loans equaled $3.5$140.0 million at December 31, 2009.

2012, and $89.3 million at December 31, 2011. The allowance for acquired loans has decreased since December 31, 2012, due to reversal of previously recorded credit- and timing-related impairment, partially offset by newly-identified impairment.


Management considers the allowance adequate to absorb estimated probable losses that relate to loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2010,2013, although future additions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan and lease losses. Such agencies may require adjustments to the allowance based on information available to them at the time of their examination.

Interest Rate Riskrate risk management


Interest rate risk results principally from assets and liabilities maturing or repricing at different points in time, from assets and liabilities repricing at the same point in time but in different amounts and from short-term and long-term interest rates changing in different magnitudes. Market interest rates also have an impact on the interest rate and repricing characteristics of loans and leases that are originated as well as the rate characteristics of our interest-bearing liabilities.


We assess our interest rate risk by simulating future amounts of net interest income usingunder various interest rate scenarios and comparing those results to forecasted net interest income assuming stable rates. Certain variable rate products, including revolving mortgage loans, have interest rate floors. Due to the existence of contractual floors on loans, competitive pressures that constrain our ability to reduce deposit interest rates and the extraordinarily low current level of interest rates, it is highly unlikely that the rates on most interest-earning assets and interest-bearing

liabilities can decline materially from current levels. In our simulations, we do not calculate rate shocks, rate ramps or market value of equity for declining rate scenarios and assume that the prime interest rate will not move below the December 31, 20102013, rate of 3.25 percent. Our rate shock simulations indicate that, over a 24-month period, net interest income will increase by 4.6 percent and 1.2 percent with rates rising 200- and 400-basis points, respectively. Our shock projections incorporate assumptions of likely customer migration of short-term deposit instruments to long-term, higher-rate instruments as rates rise. We also utilize the economic value of equity (EVE) as a tool in measuring and managing interest rate risk. As of December 31, 2013, the EVE calculated with a 200-basis point shock up in rates increases 0.7 percent from the base case EVE value.

Our calculation methodology forlong-term, higher-rate instruments as rates rise. We also utilize the market value of equity utilizesas a 200-basis point parallel rate shock. As of December 31, 2010, the market value of equity calculated with a 200-basis point immediate increasetool in interest rates equals 7.34 percent of assets, down from 8.59 percent when calculated with stable rates. The estimated amounts for the market value of equity are highly influenced by the relatively longer maturity of the commercial loan component of interest-earning assets when compared to the shorter term maturity characteristics of interest-bearing liabilities.

The maturity distributionmeasuring and repricing opportunities of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have a significant impact on ourmanaging interest rate risk. Our strategy is to reduce overall interest rate risk by maintaining relatively short maturities. Table 1822 provides loan maturity distribution and information regarding the sensitivity of loans and leases to changes in interest rates.

We do not typically utilize interest rate swaps, floors, collars or other derivative financial instruments to attempt to hedge our overall balance sheet rate sensitivity and interest rate risk. However, during the second quarter of 2006, in conjunction with the issuance of $115.0 million in trust preferred securities by FCB/NC Capital Trust III, we have entered into an interest rate swap to synthetically convert the variable rate couponon $93.5 million of junior subordinated debentures to a fixed rate of 7.1255.50 percent for a period of five years.through June 2016. The interest rate swap is effective from June 2006qualifies as a hedge under GAAP. See Note Q “Derivative” in the Notes to June 2011. During 2009, we entered into a secondConsolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of this interest rate swap coveringswap.

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the periodrisk that an institution is unable to generate or obtain sufficient cash or its equivalents on a cost-effective basis to meet commitments as they fall due. The most common sources of liquidity risk arise from June 2011mismatches in the timing and value of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet cash inflows and outflows. In general, on-balance sheet mismatches generate liquidity risk when the effective maturity of assets exceeds the effective maturity of liabilities. A commonly cited example of a balance sheet liquidity mismatch is when long-term loans (assets) are funded with short-term deposits (liabilities). Other forms of liquidity risk include market constraints on the ability to June 2016convert assets into cash at expected levels, an inability to access funding sources at sufficient levels at a fixed interest rate of 5.50 percent. Both of the interest rate swaps qualify as cash flow hedges under US GAAP. The derivatives are valued each quarter,reasonable cost, and changes in fair valueeconomic conditions or exposure to credit, market, operation, legal and reputation risks that can affect an institution’s liquidity risk profile.

We utilize various limit-based measures to monitor, measure and control liquidity risk across three different types of liquidity:
Tactical liquidity measures the risk of a negative cash flow position whereby cash outflows exceed cash inflows over a short-term horizon out to nine weeks;
Structural liquidity measures the amount by which illiquid assets are recordedsupported by long-term funding; and
Contingent liquidity utilizes cash flow stress testing across three crisis scenarios to determine the adequacy of our liquidity.

We aim to maintain a diverse mix of existing and potential liquidity sources to support the liquidity management function. At its core is a reliance on the consolidated balance sheet with an offset to other comprehensive income for the effective portion and an offset to the consolidated statements of income for any ineffective portion. The determination of effectiveness is made under the long-haul method. If we elected to redeem all or a portion of the trust preferred securities prior to June 2016retail deposit book, due to the Dodd-Frank Act provisions relatedgenerally stable balances and low cost it offers. Other sources of liquidity include asset-based liquidity in the form of cash and unencumbered securities, as well as access to capital treatmentwholesale funding from external counterparties, primarily FHLB advances and Federal Funds lines. We aim to avoid funding concentrations by diversifying our external funding with respect to maturities, counterparties and nature (i.e. secured versus unsecured).

One of trust preferred securities issued by FCB/NC Capital Trust III and did not simultaneously terminate the swap, the accounting for the then outstanding interest rate swap would be affected as the swap would no longer qualify as a cash flow hedge. The early terminationour principal sources of the interest rate swap could include the payment of an early termination fee.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk resultsnoncore funding is advances from the mismatchingFHLB of asset and liability cash flows and the potential inability to secure adequate amountsAtlanta. Outstanding FHLB advances equaled $250.3 million as of funding from traditional sources of liquidity. We manage this risk by structuring our balance sheet prudently and by maintaining various borrowing resources to fund potential cash needs. We have historically maintained a strong focus on liquidity, and have traditionally relied on our deposit base as the primary liquidity source. Short-term borrowings resulting from commercial treasury customers are also a recurring source of liquidity, although most of those borrowings must be collateralized thereby restricting the use of the resulting liquidity. Through our deposit and treasury product pricing strategies, we have the ability to stimulate or curtail liability growth.

Exclusive of deposits assumed in the FDIC-assisted transactions, deposits increased during 2010 and 2009 due to an improved domestic savings rate, a desire by customers to seek safety from uncertain investment instruments, and our efforts to build additional liquidity for our acquisition transactions. While deposits have continued to grow despite low interest rates, lower rates have caused a decline in treasury services balances.

We occasionally initiate borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta as an alternative source of liquidity, and to assist in matching the maturities of longer dated interest-earning assets. At December 31, 2010,2013, and we had sufficient collateral pledged to provide access to $1.32secure $1.14 billion of additional borrowings. Additionally, we maintain federal fundsFederal Funds lines of credit and other borrowing facilities. At December 31, 2010, we2013, BancShares had access to $550.0$665.0 million in unfundedunsecured borrowings through various sources.

Once we have satisfied our loan demand


Free liquidity includes cash on deposit at various banks, overnight investments and other funding needs, residual liquidity is invested in overnight investment andthe unpledged portion of investment securities available for sale. Netsale, all of amounts pledged for various purposes, the amount of such immediately available balance sheetwhich can be easily converted to cash. Free liquidity approximated $2.73totaled $3.39 billion at December 31, 20102013, compared to $1.32$2.82 billion at December 31, 2009. We expect that the January 2011 FDIC-assisted transaction of UWB will reduce our immediately available balance sheet liquidity by approximately $500 million over the course of 2011.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Prior to the merger of FCB and ISB on January 7, 2011, BancShares conducted its banking operations through its two banking subsidiaries.




FOURTH QUARTER ANALYSIS

For the immediate future, we have retained our existing segment reporting structure. Although FCB and ISB offered similar products and servicesquarter ended December 31, 2013, BancShares reported net income of $27.2 million, compared to customers, each entity operated in distinct geographic markets and had separate management groups, with$21.7 million for the exceptioncorresponding period of California, Washington and Florida where both operated as a result2012, an increase of the FDIC-assisted transactions. We monitored growth and financial results in each institution separately and, within each institution, by geographic segregation.

In contrast to the rapid growth during 2010 and 2009 that resulted from the FDIC-assisted transactions, the majority of FCB’s historic growth and expansion has been accomplished on a de novo basis. Since ISB began operations in 1997, it has also focused on de novo growth. However,$5.5 million, or 25.2 percent, due to the rapid pace of its growth and the number of branch offices that had yet to attain sufficient size to achieve profitability, the financial results and trends of ISB prior to 2010 were suboptimal. Each new market ISB entered created additional operating costs that were typically not fully offset by operating revenues until three to five years of operation. Losses incurred since ISB’s inception totaled $82.4 million, due not only to the rapid rate of expansion but also toa significant credit costs incurred during the last several years, primarily resulting from its residential construction lending portfolio.

IronStone Bank

At December 31, 2010, ISB operated 58 facilities in twelve states. ISB’s expansion slowed during 2009, and no new branches were opened in 2010. ISB’s business model for new markets was based on two principles. First, recruit and hire experienced bankersreduction in the desired markets who are focused on delivering high quality customer service while maintaining strong asset quality. Second, establish attractive and accessible branch facilities. While these were costly goals, they were critical to establishing a solid foundation for future success in new markets.

ISB’s total assets increased 6.7 percent from $2.57 billion at December 31, 2009 to $2.75 billion at December 31, 2010. ISB’s total assets represented 13.2 percent of consolidated assets at December 31, 2010 compared to 13.9 percent at December 31, 2009.

Net income equaled $2.5 million during 2010 compared to a net loss of $21.3 million during 2009 and a net loss of $28.9 million in 2008. The $23.8 million improvement in net income during 2010 resulted from higher net interest income, lower provision for loan and lease losses and higher noninterest income.

Net interest income increased $15.3 million or 19.3 percent during 2010 due to an improved net yield on interest-earning assets. Loans and leases increased $75.2 million or 3.4 percent from $2.19 billion at December 31, 2009 to $2.27 billion at December 31, 2010.

The provision for loan and lease losses decreased $15.5 million during 2010 compared to 2009. This decrease is due to lower net charge-offs in 2010 and widespread credit downgrades during 2009 in the residential construction loan portfolio. Net charge-offs decreased from $29.6 million during 2009 to $17.1 million in 2010, a 42.4 percent decrease. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans and leases outstanding equaled 0.78 percent for 2010, compared to 1.38 percent in 2009.

Noninterest income grew $2.6 million or 19.5 percent during 2010, the result of higher cardholder and merchant services income and gains on securities transactions. Cardholder and merchant services income increased $1.5 million or 18.9 percent as merchant discount and Visa Check interchange fees increased. Gains on securities transactions totaled $1.2 million in 2010. No securities transactions occurred during 2009.

Noninterest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 2.3 percent, during 2010, the result of a reduction of $3.0 million, or 44.7 percent, in foreclosure-related costs. Neuse, Incorporated, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BancShares that acquired certain parcels of OREO from ISB during 2009 and 2010, incurred $4.2 million of foreclosure-related costs in 2010, up from only $15,000 in 2009. FDIC deposit insurance expense decreased $881,000 or 19.7 percent when compared to 2009. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.0 million or 6.5 percent increase in salary expense.

First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company

At December 31, 2010, FCB operated 377 branches in eight states and the District of Columbia. The 2010 FDIC-assisted transactions added locations in southern California and Florida.

FCB’s total assets increased from $15.79 billion at December 31, 2009 to $17.87 billion at December 31, 2010, an increase of $2.08 billion or 13.2 percent, caused by the 2010 FDIC-assisted transactions and material growth in investment securities. FCB’s total assets represented 85.9 percent and 85.5 percent of consolidated assets at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Net income equaled $207.7 million during 2010 compared to $150.8 million during 2009, an increase of $56.9 million or 37.7 percent. The favorable variance in net income is attributable to improved net interestnoninterest income, partially offset by higher noninterest expense, provision for loan and lease losses and income taxes. Noninterest income increased modestly excluding the impact of acquisition gains and entries arising from post-acquisition adjustments to the FDIC receivable.

Net interest income increased $252.1 million or 56.2 percent during 2010 due to an increase in the net yield on interest-earning assets, driven by a higher level of interest-earning assets and accretion income resulting from large unscheduled payments for acquired loans. Total FCB loans covered under loss share agreements increased $834.4 million in 2010 from $1.17 billion to $2.01 billion. Loans not covered under loss share agreements decreased $239.7 million.

Provision for loan and lease losses increased $79.6 million during 2010 as a result of post-acquisition deterioration of credit on acquired loans. Net charge-offs increased $36.6 million or 104.7 percent from $35.0 million in 2009 to $71.6 million in 2010. The increase is entirely attributable to charge-offs of covered loans, which totaled $39.1 million in 2010. There were no charge-offs of covered loans during 2009. Net charge-offs of noncovered loans during 2010 represented 0.34 percent of average noncovered loans and leases compared to 0.36 percent in 2009.

Noninterest income decreased $2.6 million or 0.65 percent during 2010, due to $29.1 million of charges resulting from various adjustments to the FDIC receivable for loss share agreements. Service charge income declined $4.1 million resulting from changes to overdraft programs resulting from modifications to Regulation E that became effective during the third quarter of 2010. These reductions in noninterest income were partially offset by a $10.7 million increase in cardholder and merchant services income, a $5.3 million increase in wealth advisory services, and securities gains of $1.1 million.

Noninterest expense increased $78.6 million or 13.8 percent during 2010. Costs related to the FDIC-assisted transactions increased $61.9 million during 2010. Total salary expense increased $32.3 million or 13.8 percent during 2010. Foreclosure-related expenses increased $22.9 million during 2010. Equipment expense increased $6.8 million, while occupancy expense increased $6.0 million during 2010. Amortization expense increased $4.3 million during 2010, the result of intangibles recorded for the FDIC-assisted transactions. FDIC deposit insurance expense decreased $5.3 million during 2010, due to a special assessment recorded during 2009.

CURRENT ACCOUNTING AND REGULATORY ISSUES

Beginning withPRONOUNCEMENTS


Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU ) 2014-01, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)—Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects”
This ASU permits BancShares to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the first annual reporting period after November 15, 2009,proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the conceptproportional amortization method, BancShares would amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE) is no longer relevantcomponent of income tax expense (benefit).
For those investments in qualified affordable housing projects not accounted for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities (as defined under previous accounting standards) mustusing the proportional amortization method, the investment should be evaluatedaccounted for consolidation by reporting entitiesas an equity method investment or a cost method investment in accordance with applicable consolidation guidance. IfSubtopic 970-323. The decision to apply the evaluation resultsproportional amortization method of accounting will be applied consistently to all qualifying affordable housing project investments rather than a decision to be applied to individual investments.
The amendments in consolidation,this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented and are effective for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted.
BancShares is in the process of evaluating this ASU and the potential impact of adoption and, therefore, has elected not to adopt the proportional amortization method as outlined in ASU 2014-01 at this time.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU ) 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”
This ASU states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting entitydate under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require BancShares to use, and BancShares does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should apply the transition guidance providedbe

presented in the pronouncementfinancial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that requires consolidation. In addition, an enterprise is required to perform an analysis to determine whetherexist at the enterprise’s variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE). This change is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness,reporting date and comparabilityshould be made presuming disallowance of the informationtax position at the reporting date.
The provisions of this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted.
The provisions of this ASU will be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. BancShares will adopt this ASU by the date required and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfermaterial effect on its financial position financial performance,or results of operations.

FASB ASU 2013-04, “Liabilities”
This ASU provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and cash flows;disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets and VIE’s. In 2005, FCB securitized and sold approximately $250.0 million of revolving mortgage loans through the use of a QSPE. This QSPE was determined to be a VIEseveral liability arrangements for which BancShares is now obligated to recognize the underlying assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. The assets and liabilities were recorded in the first quarter of 2010 with an increase in loans of $97.3 million, an increase in debt of $86.9 million, removal of the carrying value of the residual interest strip in the amount of $1.3 million, recognition of $3.2 million in deferred tax liability, increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses of $681,000, decrease to the servicing asset for $304,000 and an adjustment to beginning retained earnings for $4.9 million.

Beginning January 1, 2010, new accounting guidance requires expanded disclosures related to fair value measurements including (i) the amounts of significant transfers of assets or liabilities between levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for the transfers, (ii) the reasons for transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, with significant transfers disclosed separately, (iii) the policy for determining when transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized and (iv) for recurring fair value measurements of assets and liabilities in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, a gross presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. The guidance further clarifies that (i) fair value measurement disclosures should be provided for each class of assets and liabilities (rather than major category), which would generally be a subset of assets or liabilities within a line

item in the balance sheet and (ii) companies should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities included in levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The disclosures related to the gross presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be required beginning January 1, 2011. The remaining disclosure requirements and clarifications became effective on January 1, 2010 and are included in Note K—Estimated Fair Values.

In July, 2010, the FASB issuedDisclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Loss (ASU 2010-20). In an effort to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about the allowance for loan and lease losses, ASU 2010-20 requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of credit risk inherent in the portfolio and how risk is analyzed and assessed in determining thetotal amount of the allowance. Changesobligation within the scope of this update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in GAAP.

The guidance requires BancShares to measure those obligations as the allowance willsum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this update also require disclosure. requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations.
The end-of-period disclosuresamendments in this update are effective for BancShares onfiscal years beginning after December 31, 2010 with2013. Early adoption is permitted. BancShares will adopt the exception of disclosures related to troubled debt restructurings, which become effective for interimmethodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. The disclosures related to activity during a period are effective during 2011. The provisions ofdoes not anticipate that the ASU 2010-20 have affected disclosures regarding the allowance for loan and lease losses, but will have noa material impacteffect on its financial condition,position or results of operations or liquidity.

FASB ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”
This ASU requires BancShares to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In December 2010, the FASB issuedIntangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts(ASU 2010-28). This update modifies step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units,addition, an entity is required to perform step 2present, either on the face of the goodwill impairment teststatement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if itthe amount reclassified is more likely thanrequired under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts, BancShares is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts.
For public entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. BancShares has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required and the ASU did not thathave a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not thatmaterial effect on its financial position or results of operations. BancShares has included the required disclosures in Note U.

FASB ASU 2012-06. “Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist such as if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair valueResult of a reporting unit belowGovernment-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution”
This ASU addresses the diversity in practice about how to interpret the terms on the same basis and contractual limitations when subsequently measuring an indemnification asset recognized in a government-assisted (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or National Credit Union Administration) acquisition of a financial institution that includes a loss sharing agreement (indemnification agreement). When BancShares recognizes an indemnification asset (in accordance with Subtopic 805-20) as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution and subsequently a change in the cash flows expected to be collected on the indemnification asset occurs (as a result of a change in cash flows expected to be collected on the assets subject to indemnification), BancShares should subsequently account for the change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification. Any amortization of changes in value should be limited to the contractual term of the indemnification agreement (that is, the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement and the remaining life of the indemnified assets).
This guidance became effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and interim periods within those annual periods. BancShares has previously accounted for its carrying amount.indemnification asset in accordance with this guidance; accordingly, this guidance had no impact on BancShares' consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

REGULATORY ISSUES

In July 2013, Bank regulatory agencies approved new global regulatory capital guidelines aimed at strengthening existing capital requirements for bank holding companies through a combination of higher minimum capital requirements, new capital conservation buffers and more conservative definitions of capital and balance sheet exposure. When fully implemented in

54



January 2019, Basel requires a minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5 percent. The provisionsnew guidelines also requires a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of ASU 2010-282.5 percent of risk-weighted assets, resulting in a total capital ratio of 7.0 percent. The rule also raises the minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0 percent to 6.0 percent and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0 percent.

The Dodd-Frank Act mandated that stress tests be developed and performed to ensure that financial institutions have sufficient capital to absorb losses and support operations during multiple economic and bank scenarios. Bank holding companies with total consolidated assets between $10 billion and $50 billion, including BancShares, will undergo annual company-run stress tests. As directed by the Federal Reserve, summaries of BancShares’ results in the severely adverse stress tests will be available to the public starting in June 2015. Through the stress testing program that has been implemented, BancShares and FCB will comply with current regulations. The results of stress testing activities will be considered in combination with other risk management and monitoring practices to maintain an effective beginning Januaryrisk management program.

In response to the Dodd-Frank Act, the formula used to calculate the FDIC insurance assessment paid by each FDIC-insured institution was significantly altered. The new formula was effective April 1, 2011, and arechanges the assessment base from deposits to total assets less equity, thereby placing a larger assessment burden on banks with large levels of non-deposit funding. The new assessment formula also considers the level of higher-risk consumer loans and higher-risk commercial and industrial loans and securities, risk factors that will potentially result in incremental insurance costs. Reporting of these assets under the final definitions was effective April 1, 2013. This new reporting requirement required BancShares to implement process and system changes to identify and report these higher-risk assets but did not expected to have a material impact on financial condition,the FDIC insurance assessment paid by or operating results of operations or liquidity.

BancShares.


The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Actwill result in expansive changes in many areas affecting the financial services industry in general and BancShares in particular. The legislation provides broad economic oversight, consumer financial services protection, investor protection, rating agency reform and derivative regulatory reform. Various corporate governance requirements will result in expanded proxy disclosures and shareholder rights. Additional provisions address the mortgage industry in an effort to strengthen lending practices. Deposit insurance reform will result in permanent FDIC protection for up to $250,000 of deposits and will require the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund to maintain 1.35 percent of insured deposits with the burden for closing the shortfall falling to banks with more than $10.0 billion in assets. The legislationAct also imposes new regulatory capital requirements for banks that will result in the disallowance of qualified trust preferred capital securities as tier 1 capital beginning in 2013. This legislation requires the reduction in tier 1 capital by the amountcapital. As of qualified trust preferred securities in equal increments over a three year period beginning in 2013.December 31, 2013, BancShares has $265.0had $93.5 million in trust preferred capital securities that is currentlywere outstanding and included as tier 1 capital. Another provisionBased on the Inter-Agency Capital Rule Notice, 75 percent, or $70.1 million of BancShares' trust preferred capital securities will be excluded from tier 1 capital beginning January 1, 2015, with the legislation gives the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10.0 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer. This provision may have a negative impact on our ability to maintain noninterest income at the same rate as prior periods resulting in a negative impact on our results of operations.

Although it is likely that further regulatory actions will arise as the Federal government attempts to address the economic situation, managementremaining 25 percent, or $23.4 million, excluded beginning January 1, 2016.


Management is not aware of any further recommendations by regulatory authorities that, if implemented, would have or would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity, capital ratios or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (BancShares) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. BancShares’ internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the company’s management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

BancShares' management assessed the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992). Based on that assessment, BancShares' management believes that, as of December 31, 2013, BancShares' internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

As permitted by guidance provided by A control deficiency exists when the staffdesign or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the scopenormal course of management’s assessmentperforming their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 has excluded First Regional Bank (FRB) and Sun American Bank (SAB), which were acquired in January 2010 and March 2010, respectively. FRB and SAB constituted 8.5 percent and 1.7 percent of consolidated revenue (total interest income and total noninterest income, excluding the related gains on acquisitions)that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, and 5.9 percent and 1.8 percent of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2010, respectively.

BancShares’ management assessed the effectivenessoversight of the company’s internal control overcompany's financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors and Shareholders

First Citizens BancShares, Inc.

We have audited First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and subsidiaries’subsidiaries' (BancShares) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2013, based on criteria established inInternal Control—IntegratedControl-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. BancShares’Commission (COSO). BancShares' management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’sManagement's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on BancShares’BancShares' internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’scompany's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’scompany's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’scompany's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded First Regional Bank (FRB) and Sun American Bank (SAB) from its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 because they were acquired by the Company in January 2010 and March 2010, respectively. We have also excluded FRB and SAB from the scope of our audit of internal control over financial reporting. FRB and SAB were acquired by First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BancShares. FRB and SAB constituted 8.5% and 1.7% of consolidated revenue (total interest income and total noninterest income, excluding the related gains on acquisitions) for the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, and 5.9% and 1.8% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2010, respectively.


In our opinion, First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010,2013, based on criteria established inInternal Control—IntegratedControl-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.Commission (COSO).

We also have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of BancShares as of December 31, 20102013 and 20092012 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010,2013, and our report dated February 28, 2011,26, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Our report refers to the fact that effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the amended consolidation accounting guidance, which resulted in the consolidation of certain asset securitizations, and, effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the amended accounting and reporting guidance for business combinations.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


General

First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (BancShares) is a financial holding company with twoorganized under the laws of Delaware and conducts operations through its banking subsidiaries:subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (FCB), which is headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina (FCB), which operates branches in North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, California, Washington, Florida, Washington, DCCarolina.

On January 1, 2014, FCB completed the merger of 1st Financial Services Corporation (1st Financial). The 1st Financial merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchased assets, assumed liabilities and following an FDIC assisted transaction on January 21, 2011, Colorado; and IronStone Bank (ISB), with branch offices in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, California, New Mexico, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas.

FCB and ISB offer full-service banking services designedidentifiable intangible assets were recorded at their acquisition date estimated fair values. Fair values are subject to meetrefinement for up to one year after the needs of retail and commercial customers in the markets in which they operate. The services offered include transaction and savings deposit accounts, commercial and consumer lending, trust, asset management and broker-dealer services, insurance services and other activities incidental to commercial banking.

BancShares is also the parent company of Neuse, Incorporated, which owns someclosing date of the real property from which ISB operates its branches and ISB generated other real estate.

FCB has other subsidiaries that support its full-service banking operation. First Citizens Investor Services (FCIS) is a registered broker-dealer in securities that provides investment services, including sales of annuities and third party mutual funds. Neusetransaction as additional information regarding closing date fair values becomes available.

During 2009, IronStone Securities, a registered broker-dealer in securities that was a subsidiary of FCB, discontinued its operations and was merged into FCIS.

merger.


The accounting and reporting policies of BancShares and its subsidiaries are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and, with regard(GAAP). Additionally, where applicable, the policies conform to the accounting and reporting guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory authorities. The following is a summary of BancShares' more significant accounting policies.

Nature of Operations

FCB operates 397 branches in North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Tennessee, California, Washington, Florida, Washington, DC, Georgia, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Oregon, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas. FCB provides full-service banking services designed to meet the needs of retail and commercial customers in the markets in which it operates. The services provided include transaction and savings deposit accounts, commercial and consumer loans, trust and asset management. Investment services, including sales of annuities and third party mutual funds are offered through First Citizens Investor Services, Inc., and title insurance is offered through Neuse Financial Services, Inc.
Principles of Consolidation and Segment Reporting
The consolidated financial statements of BancShares include the accounts of BancShares and those subsidiaries that are majority owned by BancShares and over which BancShares exercises control. In consolidation, all significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. The results of operations of companies or assets acquired are included only from the dates of acquisition. All material wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated unless GAAP requires otherwise.
On January 7, 2011, IronStone Bank (ISB), a federally-chartered thrift institution and wholly-owned subsidiary of BancShares, was legally merged into FCB resulting in a single banking subsidiary of BancShares. Prior to the January 2011 merger, FCB and ISB were considered to be distinct operating segments. As a result of the merger and various organizational changes resulting from the merger, there is no longer a focus on the discrete financial measures of each entity, and, based on application of GAAP, no other reportable operating segments exist. Therefore, BancShares now operates as one reportable segment.
FCB has investments in certain low income housing tax credit and renewable energy LLCs that have been evaluated and determined to be variable interest entities (VIEs). VIEs are legal entities in which equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently finance its activities, or as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, or do not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity or the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity. Consolidation of a VIE is considered appropriate if a reporting entity holds a controlling financial interest in the VIE. Analysis of these investments concluded that FCB is not the primary beneficiary and does not hold a controlling interest in the VIEs and, therefore, the assets and liabilities of these partnerships are not consolidated into the financial statements of FCB or BancShares. The recorded investment in these partnerships is reported within other assets in BancShares' Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Reclassifications

In certain instances, amounts reported in prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to general industry practices. the current financial statement presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, shareholders' equity or net income.

During the third quarter of 2013, management reevaluated its fair value leveling methodology and the inputs utilized by the 3rd party pricing services for the current and prior periods. Management concluded that due to the reliance on significant observable inputs, the fair values of its US Treasury, Government agency and other securities should be classified as level 2 rather than the level 1 previously disclosed. Management also concluded that its equity securities should be classified as level 2 rather than the level 1 previously disclosed due to the inactive nature of the markets in which these securities trade.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities atas of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FDIC–Assisted Transactions

Effective January 1, 2009, BancShares adopted new US GAAP which requiresall business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting formerly referred to as required by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, acquired assets and assumed liabilities are included with the purchase method, be used for all business combinations. An acquirer must be identified for each business combination, and the acquisition date isacquirer's accounts as of the date the acquirer achieves control. US GAAP requires the

In addition, acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs are recognized as period expenses as incurred.

Through FDIC-assisted transactions, BancShares’ wholly-owned subsidiary FCB acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of First Regional Bank (First Regional) on January 29, 2010 and Sun American Bank (SAB) on March 5, 2010. FCB had previously purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Temecula Valley Bank (TVB) on July 17, 2009 and Venture Bank (VB) on September 11, 2009.

Investment Securities

BancShares' investments consist of government agency securities, U.S. Treasury securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds, state, county and municipal obligations and equity securities.
BancShares classifies marketable investment securities as held to maturity, available for sale or trading. Interest income and dividends on securities are recognized in Note B.

Investment Securities

interest income on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method. At December 31, 2013, and 2012, BancShares had no investment securities held for trading purposes.

Debt securities are classified as held to maturity where BancShares has both the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. These securities are reported at amortized cost.
Investment securities that may be sold to meet liquidity needs arising from unanticipated deposit and loan fluctuations, changes in regulatory capital requirements or unforeseen changes in market conditions, are classified as available for sale. Securities available for sale are carriedreported at theirestimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of deferred income taxes, recorded as a componentin the shareholders' equity section of other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity.the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains andor losses realized from the salessale of securities available for sale are determined by specific identification and are included in noninterest income. As of December 31, 2010,2013, there was no intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale.

BancShares considers such factors as the scheduled maturity date. Theselength of time and the extent to which the market value has been below amortized cost, long term expectations and recent experience regarding principal and interest payments, BancShares' intent to sell, and whether it is more likely than not that it would be required to sell those securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis. The credit component of an OTTI loss is recognized in earnings and the non-credit component is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income in situations where BancShares does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not that BancShares will not be required to sell the security prior to recovery.

Nonmarketable Securities - FHLB Stock and TARP Stock
Federal law requires a member institution of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system to purchase and hold restricted stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This stock is restricted in that it may only be sold to the FHLB and all sales must be at par. Accordingly, the FHLB restricted stock is carried at cost, less any applicable impairment charges.

Investments in preferred stock that had initially been issued under the U. S. Treasury's Troubled Asset Recovery Program (TARP) and were purchased in the auction process initiated when the U. S. Treasury decided to liquidate its investments are carried at cost, less any applicable impairment charges, because the securities are stated at cost adjustednot traded and an active market does not exist. Nonmarketable securities are periodically evaluated for amortizationimpairment. BancShares considers positive and negative evidence, including the profitability and asset quality of premiumthe issuer, dividend payment history and accretionrecent redemption experience when determining the ultimate recoverability of discount.

Loans Held For Sale
BancShares had no investment securities heldaccounts for trading purposes.

Overnight Investments

Overnight investments include federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand deposit balances in other banks.

Loans and Leases

Loans and leases that are held for investment purposes are carried at the principal amount outstanding. Interest on substantially all loans is accrued and credited to interest income on a constant yield basis based upon the daily principal amount outstanding.

Loans that are classified as held for sale representnew originations of prime residential mortgage loans originated or purchased and are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are includedcharged to the Consolidated Statements of Income in mortgage income.

Loans and Leases
BancShares' accounting methods for loans and leases differ depending on whether they are originated or acquired, and if acquired, whether or not the acquired assets reflect credit deterioration since the date of origination such that it is probable at the date of acquisition that BancShares will be unable to collect all contractually required payments.
Originated Loans and Leases
Loans and leases for which management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future are classified as held for investment and carried at the principal amount outstanding net of any unearned income, charge-offs and unamortized fees and

costs on originated loans. Nonrefundable fees collected and certain direct costs incurred related to loan originations are deferred and recorded as an adjustment to loans and leases outstanding. The net amount of the nonrefundable fees and costs are amortized to interest income over the contractual lives using methods that approximate a constant yield.
Acquired Loans and Leases
Acquired loans and leases are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. TheNo allowance for loan and lease losses is recorded on the acquisition date as the fair valuesvalue of the acquired assets incorporates assumptions regarding credit risk.
Acquired loans and leases are evaluated at acquisition and where a discount is noted at least in part due to credit, the loans are accounted for under the guidance in ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with evidence ofDeteriorated Credit Quality.

Thethe acquisition date, the difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is the nonaccretable difference, which is included as a reduction to the carrying amount of acquired loans. Subsequent decreases to expectedloans and leases. If the timing and amount of the future cash flows will generally result in recognition of an allowance for loans and lease losses by a charge to provision for loan and lease losses. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows result in either a reversal of the provision for loan and lease losses to the extent of prior charges, or a reclassification of the difference from nonaccretable to accretable with a positive impact on the accretable yield. Anyis reasonably estimable, any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the asset's remaining life using a level yield method.

Over the life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation regarding the amountacquired loans and timing of such cash flows.leases, BancShares did not initiallycontinues to estimate the timing of cash flows for loans acquired from TVB and VB at the dates of the acquisitions, but cash flow analyses were performed on loans acquired from First Regional and SAB in order to determine the timing of cash flows expected to be collected.collected on individual loans and leases or on pools of loans and leases sharing common risk characteristics. BancShares evaluates at each balance sheet date whether the estimated cash flows and corresponding present value of its loans and leases determined using the effective interest rates has decreased and if so, recognizes provision for loan and lease losses in its Consolidated Statements of Income. For any increases in cash flows expected to be collected, BancShares adjusts any prior recorded allowance for loan and lease losses first, and then the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan's or pool's remaining life.
Accretion income is accountingrecognized on all non-pooled loans and leases except for situations when the timing and amount of future cash flows cannot be determined. Loans and leases with uncertain future cash flows are accounted for under the cost recovery method and those loans and leases are generally reported as nonaccrual.
For loans and leases where the cash flow analysis was initially performed at the loan pool level, the amount of accretable yield and nonaccretable difference is determined at the pool level. Each loan pool is made up of assets with similar characteristics at the date of acquisition including loan type, collateral type and performance status. All loan pools that have accretable yield to be recognized in interest income are classified as accruing regardless of the status of individual loans within the pool.
Impaired Loans, Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDR) and Nonperforming Assets

Management will deem originated loans and leases to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a borrower will be unable to pay all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Generally, management considers the following loans to be impaired; all TDR loans, commercial and consumer relationships which are nonaccrual or 90+ days past due and greater than $500,000 as well as any other loan management deems impaired. Once a loan is considered impaired, it is required to be individually evaluated for impairment at least quarterly using discounted cash flows, observable market price or the fair value of collateral. When the ultimate collectability of an impaired loan's principal is doubtful, all cash receipts are applied to principal. Once the recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest income, to the extent that any interest has been foregone.
A loan is considered a TDR when a modification to a borrower's debt agreement is made and where a concession that is granted for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties that otherwise would not be granted. TDRs are undertaken in order to improve the likelihood of collection on the loan and may result in a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, other modifications to the structure of the loan that fall outside of normal underwriting policies and procedures or, in certain limited circumstances, forgiveness of principal or interest. Modifications of acquired loans that are part of a pool accounted for as a single asset are not designated as TDRs. TDRs can involve loans remaining on nonaccrual, moving to nonaccrual or continuing on accruing status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. In circumstances where a portion of the loan balance is charged off, BancShares typically classifies the remaining balance as nonaccrual.
In connection with commercial TDRs, the decision to maintain a loan that has been restructured on accrual status is based on a loan level basis since the majoritycurrent credit evaluation of the portfoliosborrower's financial condition and prospects for repayment under the modified terms. This evaluation includes consideration of the borrower's current capacity to pay, which may include a review of the borrower's

68

FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


current financial statements, an analysis of cash flow documenting the borrower's capacity to pay all debt obligations and an evaluation of secondary sources of payment from the borrower and any guarantors. This evaluation also includes an evaluation of the borrower's current willingness to pay, which may include a review of past payment history, an evaluation of the borrower's willingness to provide information on a timely basis and consideration of offers from the borrower to provide additional collateral or guarantor support. The credit evaluation also reflects consideration of the adequacy of collateral to cover all principal and interest and trends indicating improving profitability and collectability of receivables.
Nonaccrual TDRs may be returned to accrual status based on a current credit evaluation of the borrower's financial condition and prospects for repayment under the modified terms. This evaluation includes consideration of the borrower's sustained historical repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally a minimum of six months, prior to the date on which the loan is returned to accrual status. Sustained historical repayment performance for a reasonable time prior to the restructuring may also be considered.
Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and leases and foreclosed property. Foreclosed property consists of real estate and other assets acquired consistas a result of large non-homogenousloan defaults.
BancShares classifies all originated loans and leases as past due when the payment of principal and interest based upon contractual terms is greater than 30 days delinquent. Generally, commercial loans.

loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due or when it is probable that principal or interest is not fully collectible, whichever occurs first. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status it is evaluated for impairment and a charge-off is recorded in the amount of the impairment. Consumer loans are subject to mandatory charge-off at a specified delinquency date consistent with regulatory guidelines.

Generally, when loans and leases are placed on nonaccrual status, accrued interest receivable that had been recognized in the current year is reversed against interest income; accrued interest receivable that had been recognized in a prior year is charged off. All payments received thereafter are applied as a reduction to the remaining principal balance as long as concern exists as to the ultimate collection of the principal. Loans and leases are generally removed from nonaccrual status when they become current as to both principal and interest and concern no longer exists as to the collectability of principal and interest.
Noncovered OREO acquired as a result of foreclosure is carried at net realizable value. Net realizable value equals fair value less estimated selling costs. Any excess of cost over fair value at the time of foreclosure is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. Cost is determined based on the sum of unpaid principal, accrued but unpaid interest and acquisition costs associated with the loan.
OREO are subject to periodic revaluations of the underlying collateral, at least annually. The periodic revaluations are generally based on the appraised value of the property and may include additional adjustments based upon management's review of the valuation and specific knowledge of the OREO. Routine maintenance costs, subsequent declines in market value and net losses on disposal are included in foreclosed property expense. Gains and losses resulting from the sale or writedown of OREO and income and expenses related to its operation are recorded in other noninterest income.
OREO covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC is reported exclusive of expected reimbursement cash flows from the FDIC at net realizable value. Subsequent downward adjustments to the estimated recoverable value of covered OREO result in a reduction of covered OREO, a charge to foreclosure related expenses and an increase in the FDIC receivable for the estimated amount to be reimbursed, with a corresponding amount recorded as an adjustment to FDIC receivable.
Covered Assets and Receivable from FDIC for Loss Share Agreements

Assets subject to loss share agreements with the FDIC include certain acquired loans and OREO. These loss share agreements afford BancShares significant protection. The agreements cover realized losses on certain loans and other assets purchased from the FDIC during the time period specified in the agreements. Realized losses covered include loan contractual balances, accrued interest on loans for up to 90 days, the book value of foreclosed real estate acquired and certain direct costs, less cash or other consideration received by BancShares.
The FDIC receivable is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date of the indemnified assets and is measured on the same basis as the underlying loans, subject to collectability or contractual limitations. The fair value of the loss share agreements on the acquisition date reflects the discounted reimbursements expected to be received from the FDIC, using an appropriate discount rate, which was based on the market rate for a similar term security at the time of the acquisition adjusted for additional risk premium.

69

FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


The loss share agreements continue to be measured on the same basis as the related indemnified assets. Because the acquired loans are subject to the accounting prescribed by ASC 310-30, subsequent changes to the basis of the loss share agreements also follow that model. Deterioration in the credit quality of the loans, which is immediately recorded as an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses, would immediately increase the FDIC receivable, with the offset recorded through the consolidated statement of income. Improvements in the credit quality or cash flows of loans, which is reflected as an adjustment to yield and accreted into income over the remaining life of the loans, decrease the FDIC receivable, with such decrease being amortized into income over (1) the same period as the underlying loans or (2) the life of the loss share agreements, whichever is shorter. Loss assumptions used in the basis of the indemnified loans are consistent with the loss assumptions used to measure the indemnification asset. Discounts and premiums reflecting the estimated timing of expected reimbursements is accreted into income over the life of the loss share agreements.
Collection and other servicing costs related to loans covered under FDIC loss share agreements are charged to noninterest expense as incurred. A receivable from the FDIC is recorded for the estimated amount of such expenses that are expected to be reimbursed and results in an increase to noninterest income. The estimated amount of such reimbursements is determined by several factors including the existence of loan participation agreements with other financial institutions, the presence of partial guarantees from the Small Business Administration and whether a reimbursable loss has been recorded on the loan for which collection and servicing costs have been incurred. Future adjustments to the receivable from the FDIC may be necessary as additional information becomes available related to the amount of previously recorded collection and servicing costs that will actually be reimbursed by the FDIC and the probable timing of such reimbursements.
Payable to the FDIC for Loss Share Agreements

The purchase and assumption agreements for certain FDIC-assisted transactions include contingent payments that may be owed to the FDIC at the termination of the loss share agreements. The contingent payment is due to the FDIC if actual cumulative losses on acquired covered assets are lower than the cumulative losses originally estimated by the FDIC at the time of acquisition. The contingent liability, which is reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a payable to the FDIC for loss share agreements, is measured separately fromcalculated by discounting estimated future payments. The ultimate settlement amount of the relatedcontingent payment is dependent upon the performance of the underlying covered assets as it is not contractually embedded inloans, the assetspassage of time and is not transferable should the assets be sold. Fair value at acquisition was estimated using projected cash flows relatedactual claims submitted to the loss share agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses using the applicable loss share percentages and the estimated true-up payment at the expiration of the loss share agreements, if applicable. These cash flows were discounted to reflect the estimated timing of the receipt of the loss share reimbursements from the FDIC and any applicable true-up payments owed to the FDIC for transactions that include claw-back provisions. The FDIC receivable is reviewed and updated prospectively as loss estimates related to covered loans and other real estate owned change, and as reimbursements are received or expected to be received from the FDIC. Post-acquisition adjustments to the FDIC receivable are offset by entries to noninterest income.

Loan Fees

Fees collected and certain costs incurred related to loan originations are deferred and amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the life of the related loans. Deferred fees and costs are recorded as an adjustment to loans outstanding using a method that approximates a constant yield.


Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

(ALLL)

Originated Loans
The allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL)ALLL represents management’smanagement's best estimate of probable credit losses within the loan and lease portfolio.portfolio at the balance sheet date. Management determines the ALLL based on an ongoing evaluation. This evaluation is inherently subjective because it requires material estimates, including the amount and timing of cash flows expected to be received on acquired loans. Those estimates are susceptible to significant change. Adjustments to the ALLL are established by chargesrecorded with a corresponding entry to the provision for loan and lease losses. ToLoan and lease balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged off against the ALLL. Recoveries of amounts previously charged off are generally credited to the ALLL.
Accounting standards require the presentation of certain information at the portfolio segment level, which represents the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine the appropriate amount of the ALLL, managementits ALLL. BancShares evaluates the risk characteristics of theits loan and lease portfolio using three portfolio segments: originated commercial, originated noncommercial and considers such factorsacquired. The originated commercial segment includes commercial construction and land development, commercial mortgage, commercial and industrial, lease financing and other commercial real estate loans, and the related ALLL is calculated based on a risk-based approach as reflected in credit risk grades assigned to commercial segment loans. The originated noncommercial segment includes noncommercial construction and land development, residential mortgage, revolving mortgage and consumer loans, and the financial conditionassociated ALLL was determined using a delinquency-based approach.
BancShares' methodology for calculating the ALLL includes estimating a general allowance for pools of unimpaired loans and specific allocations for significant individual impaired loans. The general allowance is based on net historical loan loss experience for homogeneous groups of loans based mostly on loan type then aggregated on the borrower,basis of similar risk characteristics and performance trends. The general allowance estimate also contains qualitative components that allow management to adjust reserves based on historical loan loss experience for changes in the economic environment, portfolio trends and other factors. The specific allowance component is determined when management believes that the collectability of an individually reviewed loan has been impaired and a loss is probable. The fair value of collateralimpaired loans is based on the present

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


value of expected cash flows, market prices of the loans, if available, or the value of the underlying collateral. Expected cash flows are discounted at the loans' effective interest rates.
The general allowance considers probable, incurred losses that are inherent within the loan portfolio but have not been specifically identified. Loans are divided into segments for analysis based in part on the risk profile inherent in each segment. Loans are further segmented into classes to appropriately recognize changes in inherent risk. A primary component of determining the general allowance for performing and classified loans not analyzed specifically is the actual loss history of the various classes. Loan loss factors based on historical experience may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management's judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio at the balance sheet date. For originated commercial loans and leases, management incorporates historical net loss data to develop the applicable loan loss factors by utilizing information that considers the class of the commercial loan and associated risk rating. For the originated noncommercial segment, management incorporates specific loan class and delinquency status trends into the loan loss factors. Loan loss factors may be adjusted quarterly based on changes in the level of historical net charge-offs and model adjustment parameter updates by management, such as the number of periods included in the calculation of loss factors, loss severity and portfolio attrition.
The quarterly ALLL evaluation process for the general allowance also includes a qualitative framework that considers economic conditions, composition of the loan portfolio, trends in delinquent and nonperforming loans, historical loss experience by categories of loans, concentrations of credit, changes in lending policies and underwriting standards, regulatory exam results and other items that,factors indicative of inherent losses remaining in management’s opinion, deserve current recognitionthe portfolio. Management may adjust the ALLL calculated based on historical loan loss factors when assessing changes in estimating credit losses.the factors in the qualitative framework. The methodadjustments to the ALLL for calculatingthe qualitative framework are based on economic data, data analysis of portfolio trends and management judgment. These adjustments are specific to the loan class level. Prior to the second quarter of 2013, a portion of the allowance for loan and lease losses is dependentwas not allocated to any specific class of loans. This nonspecific portion reflected management's best estimate of the elements of imprecision and estimation risk inherent in the calculation of the overall allowance.
During the second quarter of 2013, BancShares implemented enhancements to the process to estimate the ALLL and the reserve for unfunded commitments, described below. Through detailed analysis of historical loss data, the process enhancements enabled allocation of the previously unallocated "nonspecific" ALLL and a portion of the reserve for unfunded loan commitments to specific loan classes. The enhanced ALLL estimates implicitly include the risk of draws on open lines within each loan class. Other than the modifications described above, the enhancements to the methodology had no material impact on the borrower type and covered status.

The noncovered noncommercialALLL.

Specific allocations are made for significant, individual impaired loans. Management deems a loan portfolio is segregated into loans with similar characteristics and the historical loss rates for each identified loan pool, adjusted for current trends and economic conditions, are applied to each identified homogeneous loan pool to calculate the amount of the allowance. This portfolio segment includes a large number of smaller balance loans that, collectively, exhibit predictable loss trends.

The allowance for noncovered commercial loans and leases is based on the internal credit grade assigned to each borrower with impaired loans greater than $1,000 being subject to an individual impairment analysis. These loans are individually evaluated due to their larger size and the proportional risk each loan carries. The remaining commercial loans are grouped by homogeneous pools based on credit quality and borrowing class and evaluated collectively for

impairment. Due to the fact that the expected losses within each credit quality rating and borrowing class are predictable, these non-impaired loans are aggregated for evaluation. The historical loss rates for each group, adjusted for current trends and economic conditions, are applied to each loan pool to arrive at the required reserve.

The allowance for covered loans that are deemed to be impaired atwhen, based upon current information and events, it is probable that BancShares will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the acquisition date is calculated basedcontractual terms of the loan. Generally management considers the following loans to be impaired: all TDR loans, commercial and consumer relationships which are nonaccrual or 90+ days past due and greater than$500,000 as well as any other loan management deems impaired.

Management continuously monitors and actively manages the credit quality of the entire loan portfolio and adjusts the ALLL to an allowance is recorded for any reductionappropriate level. By assessing the probable estimated incurred losses in the expected cash flows or deterioration in credit that occurs post-acquisition. Nonimpaired covered loans are grouped into homogeneous loan poolsportfolio on a quarterly basis, management is able to adjust specific and general loss estimates based onupon the credit grade and estimated loss rates are applied to each pool based on the expected losses that have occurred since acquisition. Any covered loans greater than $1,000 that were not determined to be impaired at the acquisition date but are determined to be impaired at a later date are subject to an individual impairment analysis. The reserves on covered loans are recorded through charges to the provision for loan and lease losses which serves to increase the ALLL. An adjustment is recorded to the receivable from the FDIC with an offset to interest income for the portion of losses that are covered by the FDIC loss share agreements.

The methods described above are largely dependent on historical loss measures and may not reflect all losses evident in the portfolio at the measurement date. As a result of this timing lag and other potential imprecisions, we maintain a nonspecific allowance as part of the allowance for loan and lease losses. The inclusion of the nonspecific allowance provides an additional reserve that is determined by management after considering current and projected economic conditions, the extent of concentrations of loans, the changes in lending policies or procedures, and changes in the mix of the loan portfolio.

Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review BancShares’BancShares' ALLL. Such agencies may require the recognition of adjustments to the ALLL based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Each portfolio segment and the classes within those segments are subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on the credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio and the related ALLL. Management has identified the most significant risks as described below that are generally similar among the segments and classes. While the list is not exhaustive, it provides a description of the risks management has determined are the most significant.

Originated Commercial Loans and Leases
Each commercial loan or lease is centrally underwritten based primarily upon the customer's ability to generate the required cash flow to service the debt in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the loan agreement. A complete understanding of the borrower's business, including the experience and background of the principals, is obtained prior to approval. To the extent that the loan or lease is secured by collateral, which is true for the majority of commercial loans and leases, the likely value of the collateral and what level of strength the collateral brings to the transaction is evaluated. To the extent that the principals or other parties provide personal guarantees, the relative financial strength and liquidity of each guarantor is assessed.
The significant majority of relationships in the originated commercial segment are assigned credit risk grades based upon an assessment of conditions that affect the borrower's ability to meet contractual obligations under the loan agreement. This process includes reviewing the borrowers' financial information, payment history, credit documentation, public information and other information specific to each borrower. Credit risk grades are reviewed annually, or at any point management becomes aware of information affecting the borrowers' ability to fulfill their obligations. Our credit risk grading standards are described in Note C.
The impairment assessment and determination of the related specific reserve for each impaired loan is based on a loan's characteristics. Impairment measurement for loans that are not collateral dependent is based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. Specific valuation allowances are established or partial charge-offs are recorded for the difference between the loan amount and the estimated fair value. Impairment measurement for most real estate loans, particularly when a loan is considered to be a probable foreclosure, is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Collateral is appraised and market value, appropriately adjusted for an assessment of the sales and marketing costs as well as the expected holding period, is used to calculate an anticipated fair value.
General reserves for collective impairment are based on estimated incurred losses related to unimpaired commercial loans and leases as of the balance sheet date. Incurred loss estimates for the originated commercial segment are based on average loss rates by credit risk ratings, which are estimated using historical loss experience and credit risk rating migrations. Incurred loss estimates may be adjusted through a qualitative assessment to reflect current economic conditions and portfolio trends including credit quality, concentrations, aging of the portfolio and significant policy and underwriting changes.
Common risks to each class of commercial loans include general economic conditions within the markets BancShares serves, as well as risks that are specific to each transaction including demand for products and services, personal events, such as disability or change in marital status and reductions in the value of collateral. Due to the concentration of loans in the medical, dental and related fields, BancShares is susceptible to risks that governmental actions, including implementation of the Affordable Care Act, will fundamentally alter the medical care industry in the United States.
In addition to these common risks for the majority of the originated commercial segment, additional risks are inherent in certain classes of originated commercial loans and leases.
Commercial construction and land development
Commercial construction and land development loans are highly dependent on the supply and demand for commercial real estate in the markets served by BancShares as well as the demand for newly constructed residential homes and lots that customers are developing. Deterioration in demand could result in decreases in collateral values and could make repayment of the outstanding loans more difficult for customers.
Commercial mortgage, commercial and industrial and lease financing
Commercial mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans and lease financing are primarily dependent on the ability of borrowers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at loan origination resulting in cash flow sufficient to service the debt. To the extent that a customer's business results are significantly unfavorable versus the original projections, the ability for the loan to be serviced on a basis consistent with the contractual terms may be at risk. While these loans and leases are generally secured by real property, personal property or business assets such as inventory or accounts receivable, it is possible that the liquidation of the collateral will not fully satisfy the obligation.
Other commercial real estate
Other commercial real estate loans consist primarily of loans secured by multifamily housing and agricultural loans. The primary risk associated with multifamily loans is the ability of the income-producing property that collateralizes the loan to produce adequate cash flow to service the debt. High unemployment or generally weak economic conditions may result in customers having to provide rental rate concessions to achieve adequate occupancy rates. The performance of agricultural loans is highly dependent on favorable weather, reasonable costs for seed and fertilizer and the ability to successfully market the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


product at a profitable margin. The demand for these products is also dependent on macroeconomic conditions that are beyond the control of the borrower.
Originated Noncommercial Loans and Leases
Each originated noncommercial loan is centrally underwritten using automated credit scoring and analysis tools. These credit scoring tools take into account factors such as payment history, credit utilization, length of credit history, types of credit currently in use and recent credit inquiries. To the extent that the loan is secured by collateral, the likely value of that collateral is evaluated.
The ALLL for the originated noncommercial segment is primarily calculated on a pooled basis using a delinquency-based approach. Estimates of incurred losses are based on historical loss experience and the migration of receivables through the various delinquency pools applied to the current risk mix. These estimates may be adjusted through a qualitative assessment to reflect current economic conditions, portfolio trends and other factors. The remaining portion of the ALLL related to the originated noncommercial segment results from loans that are deemed impaired. The impairment assessment and determination of the related specific reserve for each impaired loan is based on a loan's characteristics. Impairment measurement for loans that are not collateral dependent is based on the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. Specific valuation allowances are established or partial charge-offs are recorded for the difference between the loan amount and the estimated fair value. Impairment measurement for most real estate loans, particularly when a loan is considered to be a probable foreclosure, is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Collateral is appraised and market value, appropriately adjusted for an assessment of the sales and marketing costs as well as the expected holding period, is used to calculate an anticipated fair value.
Common risks to each class of noncommercial loans include risks that are not specific to individual transactions such as general economic conditions within the markets BancShares serves, particularly unemployment and potential declines in real estate values. Personal events such as disability or change in marital status also add risk to noncommercial loans.
In addition to these common risks for the majority of noncommercial loans, additional risks are inherent in certain classes of noncommercial loans.
Revolving mortgage
Revolving mortgage loans are often secured by second liens on residential real estate, thereby making such loans particularly susceptible to declining collateral values. A substantial decline in collateral value could render a second lien position to be effectively unsecured. Additional risks include lien perfection inaccuracies, disputes with first lienholders and uncertainty regarding the customer's performance with respect to the first lien that may further weaken the collateral position. Further, the open-end structure of these loans creates the risk that customers may draw on the lines in excess of the collateral value if there have been significant declines since origination.
Consumer
The consumer loan portfolio includes loans secured by personal property such as automobiles, marketable securities, other titled recreational vehicles including boats and motorcycles, as well as unsecured consumer debt. The value of underlying collateral within this class is especially volatile due to potential rapid depreciation in values since date of loan origination, potentially in excess of principal balances.
Residential mortgage and noncommercial construction and land development
Residential mortgage and noncommercial construction and land development loans are made to individuals and are typically secured by 1-4 family residential property, undeveloped land and partially developed land in anticipation of pending construction of a personal residence. Significant and rapid declines in real estate values can result in residential mortgage loan borrowers having debt levels in excess of the current market value of the collateral. Noncommercial construction and land development projects can experience delays in completion and cost overruns that exceed the borrower's financial ability to complete the project. Such cost overruns can routinely result in foreclosure of partially completed and unmarketable collateral.
Acquired loans
The risks associated with acquired loans are generally consistent with the risks identified for commercial and noncommercial originated loans and the classes of loans within those segments. However, these loans were underwritten by other institutions with weaker lending standards. Additionally, in some cases, collateral for acquired loans is located in regions that have experienced profound erosion of real estate values. Therefore, there exists a significant risk that acquired loans are not adequately supported by borrower cash flow or the values of underlying collateral.

73

FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


The ALLL for acquired loans is estimated based on the estimated cash flows approach. Over the life of acquired loans and leases, BancShares continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected on individual loans and leases or on pools of loans and leases sharing common risk characteristics. BancShares evaluates at each balance sheet date whether the estimated cash flows and corresponding present value of its loans and leases determined using the effective interest rates has decreased and if so, recognizes provision for loan and lease losses. For any increases in cash flows expected to be collected, BancShares adjusts any prior recorded allowance for loan and lease losses first and then the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan's or pool's remaining life.
Reserve for Unfunded Commitments
The reserve for unfunded commitments represents the estimated probable losses related to unfunded lending commitments, such as letters of credit, facilities.financial guarantees and similar binding commitments. The reserve is calculated in a manner similar to the loans evaluated collectively for impairment, while also considering the timing and taking into account the likelihood that the available credit will be utilized as well as the exposure toupon default. The reserve for unfunded commitments is presented within other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet separatelysheets, distinct from the allowance for loan and lease lossesALLL, and adjustments to the reserve for unfunded commitments isare included in other noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements generally have maturities of one day and Restructured Loans

Accrualare reflected as short-term borrowings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recorded based on the amount of interest on certain residential mortgage loans is discontinued when the loan is more than three payments past due. Accrual of interest on other loans and leases is discontinued when management deems that collection of additional principal or interest is doubtful. Residential mortgage loans return to an accrual status when the loan balance is less than three payments past due. Other loans and leases are returned to an accrual status when both principal and interest are current and the loan is determined to be performingcash received in accordanceconnection with the applicable terms.

Management considers a loan to be impaired when based on current informationborrowing. At December 31, 2013, and events, it is probable that a borrower will be unable to pay all amounts due according to contractual terms2012, BancShares had $97.0 million and $111.9 million of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are valued by either the discounted expected cash flow method using the loan’s original effective interest rate or the collateral value. When the ultimate collectibility of an impaired loan’s principal is doubtful, all cash receipts are applied to principal.

FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(dollars in thousands)

Once the recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest income, to the extent that any interest has been foregone.

When a secured loan is determined to be uncollectable, it is charged off by reducing the loan balance and the related allowance for the portion of the loan that exceeds the estimated collateral value. A loan is deemed to be uncollectable when the financial position of the borrower indicates that collection of all or part of future payments due will not occur. Unsecured loans are charged off in full when they become four months past due unless a definitive plan has been established for repayment.

Restructured loans are loans that have been modified due to deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition, resulting in more favorable terms for the borrower. Accrual of interest is continued for restructured loans when the borrower was performing prior to the restructuring and there is reasonable assurance of repayment and continued performancesecurities sold under the modified terms. Accrual of interest on restructured loans in non-accrual status is resumed when the borrower has established a sustained period of performance under the restructured terms of at least six months.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned (OREO) is valued at the lower of the loan balance at the time of foreclosure or estimated fair value net of selling costs. Once acquired, OREO is periodically reviewed to ensure that the fair value of the property supports the carrying value, with writedowns recorded when necessary. Gains and losses resulting from the sale or writedown of OREO and income and expenses related to its operation are recorded in other noninterest expense.

OREO covered by loss sharerepurchase agreements, with the FDIC is reported exclusive of expected reimbursement cash flows from the FDIC. Subsequent downward adjustments to the estimated recoverable value of covered OREO result in a reduction of covered OREO, a charge to other noninterest expense and an increase in the FDIC receivable for the estimated amount to be reimbursed, with a corresponding amount recorded as an adjustment to other noninterest income.

Management used appraisals of properties to determine fair values and applied additional discounts where appropriate for passage of time or, in certain cases, for subsequent events occurring after the appraisal date.

Servicing Asset

Other assets include an estimate of the fair value of servicing rights on SBA loans that had been originated and subsequently sold by TVB. The asset was initially recorded at fair value based on valuations performed by an independent third party. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, prepayment speeds, and other factors typical in such a valuation. SBA loan originations have been discontinued. The servicing asset is being amortized over the estimated life of the underlying loans.

respectively.


Premises and Equipment

Premises, equipment and equipmentcapital leases are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed byusing the straight-line method and are expensed over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 25 to 40 years for premises and three to 10 years for furniture, software and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Gains and losses on dispositions are recorded in other noninterest expense. Maintenance and repairs are charged to occupancy expense or equipment expense as incurred.

Obligations under capital leases are amortized over the life of the lease using the interest method to allocate payments between principal reduction and interest expense. Rent expense and rental income on operating leases are recorded using the straight-line method over the appropriate lease terms.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents

BancShares accounts for acquisitions using the excessacquisition method of accounting. Under acquisition accounting, if the purchase price overof an acquired company exceeds the fair value of its net assets, the excess is carried on the acquirer's balance sheet as goodwill. An intangible asset is recognized as an asset apart from goodwill if it arises from contractual or other legal rights or if it is capable of being separated or divided from the acquired entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Intangible assets are identifiable assets, such as core deposit intangibles, resulting from acquisitions which are amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated useful life and evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated at least annually for impairment or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change that may trigger a decline in the value of the reporting unit or otherwise indicate that a potential impairment exists. Examples of such events or circumstances include deterioration of general economic conditions, limitations on accessing capital, other equity and credit market developments, adverse change(s) in the environment in which BancShares operates, regulatory or political developments and changes in management, key personnel, strategy or customers. The evaluation of goodwill is based on a variety of factors, including common stock trading multiples and data from comparable acquisitions. Potential impairment of goodwill exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the fair value for the reporting unit is computed using various methods including market capitalization, price-earnings multiples, price-to-tangible book and market premium.

To the extent the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired, and the second step of impairment testing will be performed. In the second step, the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is testedcombination at least annually for impairment.

Annual impairment tests are conducted as of July 31 each year. Based on the July 31, 2013, impairment test, management concluded there was no indication of goodwill impairment. In addition to the annual testing requirement, impairment tests are performed if various other events occur including significant adverse changes in the business climate, considering various qualitative and quantitative factors to determine whether impairment exists. There were no such events subsequent to the annual impairment test performed during 2013.

Other intangible assets with estimable lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which are periodically reviewed for reasonableness. As a result of the FDIC-assisted transactions in 2011, 2010 and 2009, an identifiable intangible asset wasassets were recorded representing the estimated value of the core deposits acquired and certain customer relationships.

Fair Values

When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, BancShares considers the principal or most advantageous market in which those assets or liabilities are sold and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing those assets or liabilities.

value. Under US GAAP, individual fair value estimates are ranked on a three-tier scale based on the relative reliability of the inputs used in the valuation. Fair values determined using level 1 inputs rely on active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. In situations where identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, fair values may be determined based on level 2 inputs, which representsrepresent observable data for similar assets and liabilities. Fair values for assets and liabilities that are not actively traded in observable markets are based on level 3 inputs, which are considered to be nonobservable.

Certain financial assets Fair value estimates derived from level 3 inputs cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, liabilities mayin many cases, cannot be carried atrealized through immediate settlement of the instrument. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value with changes in fairamounts presented do not necessarily represent the underlying value recognized into BancShares.

Current Accounting Matters

Defined Benefit Pension Plan
BancShares offers a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan to certain qualifying employees. The calculation of the first annual reporting period after November 15, 2009,obligations and related expenses under the conceptplan requires the use of a qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE) is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities (as defined under previous accounting standards) must be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities in accordance with applicable consolidation guidance. If the evaluation results in consolidation, the reporting entity should apply the transition guidance providedactuarial valuation methods and assumptions. Actuarial assumptions used in the pronouncement thatdetermination of future values of plan assets and liabilities are subject to management judgment and may differ significantly if different assumptions are used. The discount rate assumption used to measure the plan obligation is based on a yield curve developed from high-quality corporate bonds across a full maturity spectrum. The projected cash flows of the pension plan are discounted based on this yield curve, and a single discount rate is calculated to achieve the same present value. Refer to Note M in the Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosures related to BancShares' defined benefit pension plan.

This ASU requires consolidation.BancShares to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an enterpriseentity is required to performpresent, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts, BancShares is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts.
For public entities, the amendments are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. BancShares adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on BancShares' financial position or results of operations.

In 2005, FCB securitized and sold $250,000 of revolving mortgage loans throughsame basis as the use of a QSPE. This QSPE was determined to be a VIE for which BancShares is now obligated to recognize the underlying assets and liabilitieschange in the consolidated financial statements. The assets and liabilities were recordedsubject to indemnification.

Beginning January 1, 2010, new accounting guidance requires expanded disclosures related to fair value measurements including (i) the amounts of significant transfers of assets or liabilities between levels 1 and 2term of the fair value hierarchyindemnification agreement and the reasons for the transfers, (ii) the reasons for transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of level 3remaining life of the fair value hierarchy, with significant transfers disclosed separately, (iii) the policy for determining when transfers between levelsindemnified assets).

The guidance further clarifies that (i) fair value measurement disclosures should be provided for each class of assets and liabilities (rather than major category), which would generally be a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the balance sheet and (ii) companies should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities included in levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The disclosures related to the gross presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy will be required beginning January 1, 2011. The remaining disclosure requirements and clarifications became effective on January 1, 2010 and are included in Note K—Estimated Fair Values.

In July, 2010, the FASB issuedDisclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Loss (ASU 2010-20). In an effort to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about the allowance for loan and lease losses, ASU 2010-20 requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of credit risk inherent in the portfolio and how risk is analyzed and assessed in determining the amount of the allowance.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
FASB ASU 2014-01, “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)—Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects”
This ASU permits BancShares to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the FASB issuedIntangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—When to Perform Step 2proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, BancShares would amortize the initial cost of the Goodwill Impairment Testinvestment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognize the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit).
For those investments in qualified affordable housing projects not accounted for Reporting Unitsusing the proportional amortization method, the investment should be accounted for as an equity method investment or a cost method investment in accordance with ZeroSubtopic 970-323.
The decision to apply the proportional amortization method of accounting will be applied consistently to all qualifying affordable housing project investments rather than a decision to be applied to individual investments.
The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented and are effective for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted.
BancShares is in the process of evaluating this ASU and the potential impact of adoption and, therefore, has elected not to adopt the proportional amortization method as outlined in ASU 2014-01 at this time.
FASB ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”
This ASU states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or Negative Carrying Amounts(ASU 2010-28). This update modifies Step 1a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zeroapplicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2the tax law of the goodwill impairment test if itapplicable jurisdiction does not require BancShares to use, and BancShares does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is more likely than notavailable is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entityexist at the reporting date and should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist such as if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reducebe made presuming disallowance of the fair value of atax position at the reporting unit below its carrying amount. date.
The provisions of this ASU 2010-28are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted.
The provisions of this ASU will be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective beginning January 1, 2011date. Retrospective application is permitted. BancShares will adopt this ASU by the date required and aredoes not expected toanticipate that the ASU will have a material impacteffect on its financial condition,position or results of operations or liquidity.

FASB ASU 2013-04, “Liabilities”
This ASU provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of theDodd-Frank Wall Street Reform obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in GAAP.
The updated guidance requires BancShares to measure those obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and Consumer Protection Actany additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance in this ASU also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations.
The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. BancShares will result in expansive changes in many areas affectingadopt the financial services industry in general and BancShares in particular. The legislation provides broad economic oversight, consumer financial services protection, investor protection, rating agency reform and derivative regulatory reform. Various corporate governance requirements will result in expanded proxy disclosures and shareholder rights. Additional provisions address the mortgage industry in an effort to strengthen lending practices. Deposit insurance reform will result in permanent FDIC protection for up to $250 of deposits and will require the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund to maintain 1.35 percent of insured deposits with the burden for closing the shortfall falling to banks with more than $10,000,000 in assets. The legislation also imposes new regulatory capital requirements for banks that will result in the disallowance of qualified trust preferred securities as tier 1 capital beginning in 2013. This legislation requires the reduction in tier 1 capitalmethodologies prescribed by this ASU by the amount of qualified trust preferred securities in equal increments over a three year period beginning in 2013. BancShares has $265,000 in trust preferred securitiesdate required, and does not anticipate that is currently outstanding and included as tier 1 capital. Another provision of the legislation gives the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10,000,000 and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer. This provision mayASU will have a negative impact non-interest income.

of the loss share agreements, there is no reimbursement by the FDIC until net losses reach $41,815. The FDIC will reimburse FCB for 80 percent of net losses incurred up to $1,017,000, and 95 percent of net losses exceeding $1,017,000.

The Purchase and Assumption Agreement between FCB and the FDIC also includes a true-up payment at the end of year 10. On March 17, 2020, the true-up measurement date, FCB is required to make a true-up payment to the FDIC equal to 50 percent of the excess, if any, of (i) 20 percent of the stated threshold, or $203.4 million, less (ii) the sum of (a) 25 percent of the asset discount, or $74.9 million, plus (b) 25 percent of the cumulative loss share payments plus (c) the cumulative servicing amount. The cumulative servicing amount is 1 percent of the average covered assets for each year during the terms of the loss share agreements. Current projections suggest a true-up payment of $67,219 will be payable under the First Regional loss share agreements. This estimate is subject to change over the term of the agreements.

The term for loss share on residential real estate loans is ten years, while the term for loss share on non-residential real estate loans is five years in respect to losses and eight years in respect to loss recoveries. As a result of the loss share agreements with the FDIC and considering an estimate of a contingent true-up payment to the FDIC, FCB recorded a receivable of $365,170 at the time of acquisition. During the second and third quarters of 2010, adjustments were made to the FDIC receivable based on changes in loss estimates related to covered loans and other real estate owned that affect the respective acquisition date fair values. These adjustments were made retroactive to the first quarter of 2010 and increased the receivable by $13,525.

On March 5, 2010, FCB purchased substantially all the assets and assumed substantially all the liabilities of SAB from the FDIC, as Receiver. SAB operated 12 offices in the state of Florida, primarily serving South Florida. The FDIC took SAB under receivership upon its closure by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation. FCB’s bid to the FDIC included the purchase of substantially all of SAB’s assets at a discount of $69,400 in exchange for assuming certain SAB deposits and certain other liabilities. The FDIC paid FCB $31,965 in additional cash consideration at closing. FCB and the FDIC entered into loss share agreements regarding future losses incurred on loans and other real estate acquired through foreclosure existing at the acquisition date. Under the terms of the loss share agreements, the FDIC will reimburse FCB for 80 percent of net losses incurred up to $99,000 and 95 percent of net losses exceeding $99,000.

The Purchase and Assumption Agreement between FCB and the FDIC also includes a true-up payment at the end of year 10. On May 15, 2020, the true-up measurement date, FCB is required to make a true-up payment to the FDIC equal to 50 percent of the excess, if any, of (i) 20 percent of the stated threshold, or $19.8 million, less (ii) the sum of (a) 25 percent of the asset discount, or $17.5 million, plus (b) 25 percent of the cumulative loss share payments plus (c) the cumulative servicing amount. The cumulative servicing amount is 1 percent of the average covered assets for each year during the terms of the loss share agreements. Although no true-up payment is currently projected under the SAB loss share agreements, those projections are subject to change.

The term for loss share on residential real estate loans is ten years, while the term for loss share on non-residential real estate loans is five years in respect to losses and eight years in respect to loss recoveries. As a result of the loss share agreements with the FDIC, FCB recorded a receivable of $92,360 at the time of acquisition. During the second quarter of 2010, adjustments were made to the FDIC receivable based on changes in loss estimates related to covered loans and other real estate owned that affect the respective acquisition date fair values. These adjustments were made retroactive to the first quarter of 2010 and decreased the receivable by $2,626.

The FDIC-assisted acquisitions of First Regional and SAB were accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The statement of net assets acquired, adjustments to the acquisition date fair values made in the second and third quarters and the resulting bargain purchase gains are presented in the following tables. As indicated in the explanatory notes that accompany the following tables, the purchased assets, assumed liabilities and identifiable intangible assets were recorded at their respective acquisition date estimated fair values. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of each merger as additional information regarding closing date fair values becomes available. During this one year period, the causes of any changes in cash flow estimates are considered to determine

whether the change results from circumstances that existedInvestment securities as of the acquisition date or if the change results from an event that occurred after the acquisition. Adjustments to the estimated fair values made in the second and third quarters were based on additional information regarding the acquisition date fair values, which included updated appraisals on several commercial properties on acquired impaired loans and updated financial statements for some borrowers which allowed for adjustments to expected cash flows that more closely reflect the borrowers’ ability to repay the debt.

First quarter 2010 noninterest income as originally reported included bargain purchase gains of $137,447 that resulted from the First Regional and SAB transactions. The gains resulted from the difference between the estimated fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. During the second and third quarters of 2010, adjustments were made to the gains based on additional information regarding the respective acquisition date fair values. These adjustments were made retroactive to the first quarter of 2010, resulting in an adjusted gain of $136,000. FCB recorded a deferred tax liability for the gains totaling $53,258. To the extent there are additional adjustments to the respective acquisition date fair values up to one year following the respective acquisitions, there will be additional adjustments to the gains.

The following tables identify the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by FCB from First Regional and SAB. The tables provide the balances recorded by First Regional and SAB at the time of the respective FDIC-assisted transactions, the fair value adjustments recorded and the resulting adjusted fair values recorded by FCB for the acquisition date.

d—Adjustment reflects the estimated value of intangible assets, which includes core deposit intangibles and when applicable, trust customer relationships.

e—Adjustment reflects the amount needed to adjust the carrying value of other assets to estimated fair value.

f—Adjustment arises since the rates on short-term borrowings are higher than rates available on similar borrowings at date of acquisition.

g—Adjustment arises since the rates on long-term obligations are higher than rates available on similar borrowings at date of acquisition.

h—Adjustment reflects amount needed to adjust the carrying value of other liabilities to estimated fair value.

Total revenues for 2010 increased by $212.9 million due to the First Regional transaction and $48.6 million due to the SAB transaction. BancShares does not track post-acquisition earnings for First Regional and SAB on a stand-alone basis. Due to the significant amount of fair value adjustments, the resulting accretion of those fair value adjustments and the protection resulting from the FDIC loss share agreements, historical results of First Regional and SAB are not relevant to BancShares’ historical results of operations. Therefore, no pro forma information is presented.

On January 21, 2011, FCB entered into an agreement with the FDIC to purchase substantially all the assets and assume the majority of the liabilities of United Western Bank (United Western) of Denver, Colorado at a discount of $213,000, with no deposit premium. The FDIC serves as Receiver of United Western. The Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the FDIC includes loss share agreements on the loans and other real estate purchased by FCB which provides protection against losses to FCB.

The loans and OREO purchased from United Western are covered by two loss share agreements between the FDIC and FCB (one for single family residential mortgage loans and the other for all other loans and ORE), which afford FCB significant loss protection. Under the loss share agreement for single family residential mortgage loans (SFRs), the FDIC will cover 80 percent of covered loan losses up to $32,489; 0 percent from $32,489 up to $57,653 and 80 percent of losses in excess of $57,653. The loss share agreement for all other loans and ORE will cover 80 percent of covered loan and ORE losses up to $111,517, 30 percent from $111,517 up to $227,032 and 80 percent of losses in excess of $227,032.

United Western operated in Denver, Colorado, in eight branch locations in Boulder, Centennial, Cherry Creek, downtown Denver, Hampden at Interstate 25, Fort Collins, Longmont and Loveland.

The acquisition of United Western is being accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The unaudited statement of assets and liabilities is presented in the following table. These amounts are based on the FDIC settlement statement and do not include adjustments to reflect the assets and liabilities at their fair value at date of acquisition.

During February 2011, United Western’s parent company, United Western and directors of the parent company filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the FDIC, the OTS and others, claiming that the seizure of United Western by the OTS and the subsequent appointment of the FDIC as receiver was illegal. The complaint requests the court to direct the OTS to remove the FDIC as receiver, return control of United Western to the plaintiffs, reimburse the plaintiffs for their costs and attorney fees and to award plaintiffs other relief as may be just and equitable. Neither BancShares nor FCB were named in the complaint. It is unclear what impact, if any, the litigation will have on FCB or the assets acquired in the United Western transaction.

(dollars in thousands)

At December 31, 2010, 26.3 percent of noncovered loans and leases were to customers in medical-related fields, compared to 25.1 percent at December 31, 2009. These loans are primarily commercial mortgage loans as they are generally secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate. There were no foreign loans or loans to finance highly leveraged transactions during 2010 or 2009.

Substantially all noncovered loans and leases are to customers domiciled within BancShares’ principal market areas. The loans acquired during 2009 that are covered under loss share agreements include borrowers that are not within the principal market areas of the originating banks.

At December 31, 2010 noncovered loans totaling $3,744,067 were pledged to secure debt obligations, compared to $3,579,503$2.57 billion at December 31, 2009.

Table of segment and class risks

Each of our portfolio segments and the classes within those segments are subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on the credit quality of our loan and lease portfolio. Management has identified the most significant risks as described below which are generally similar among our segments and classes. While the list in not exhaustive, it provides a description of the risks that management has determined are the most significant.

Commercial loans and leases

We centrally underwrite each of our commercial loans and leases based primarily upon the customer’s ability to generate the required cash flow to service the debt in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the loan agreement. We endeavor to gain a complete understanding of our borrower’s businesses including the experience and background of the principals. To the extent that the loan is secured by collateral, which is a predominant feature of the majority of our commercial loans and leases, we gain an understanding of the likely value of the collateral and what level of strength the collateral brings to the loan transaction. To the extent that the principals or other parties provide personal guarantees, we analyze the relative financial strength and liquidity of each guarantor. Common risks to each class of commercial loans include risks that are not specific to individual transactions such as general economic conditions within our markets, as well as risks that are specific to each transaction including demand for products and services, personal events such as disability or change in marital status, and reductions in the value of our collateral. Due to our concentration of loans in the medical, dental, and related fields, we are susceptible to risks that legislative and governmental actions will fundamentally alter the economic structure of the medical care industry in the United States.

In addition to these common risks for the majority of our commercial loans and leases, additional risks are inherent in certain of our classes of commercial loans and leases.

Commercial construction and land development

Commercial construction and land development loans are highly dependent on the supply and demand for commercial real estate in the markets we serve as well as the demand for newly constructed residential homes and lots that our customers are developing. Continuing deterioration in demand could result in significant decreases in the underlying collateral values and make repayment of the outstanding loans more difficult for our customers.

Commercial mortgage, commercial and industrial and lease financing

Commercial mortgage and commercial and industrial loans and lease financing are primarily dependent on the ability of our customers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at loan origination resulting in cash flow sufficient to service the debt. To the extent that a customer’s business results are significantly unfavorable versus the original projections, the ability for our loan to be serviced on a basis consistent with the contractual terms

(dollars in thousands)

may be at risk. While these loans and leases are generally secured by real property, personal property, or business assets such as inventory or accounts receivable, it is possible that the liquidation of the collateral will not fully satisfy the obligation.

Other commercial real estate

Other commercial real estate loans consist primarily of loans secured by multifamily housing and agricultural loans. The primary risk associated with multifamily loans is the ability of the income-producing property that collateralizes the loan to produce adequate cash flow to service the debt. High unemployment or generally weak economic conditions may result in our customer having to provide rental rate concessions to achieve adequate occupancy rates. The performance of agricultural loans are highly dependent on favorable weather, reasonable costs for seed and fertilizer, and the ability to successfully market the product at a profitable margin. The demand for these products is also dependent on macroeconomic conditions that are beyond the control of the borrower.

Non-commercial loans

We centrally underwrite each of our non-commercial loans using automated credit scoring and analysis tools. These credit scoring tools take into account factors such as payment history, credit utilization, length of credit history, types of credit currently in use, and recent credit inquiries. To the extent that the loan is secured by collateral we also evaluate the likely value of that collateral. Common risks to each class of non-commercial loans include risks that are not specific to individual transactions such as general economic conditions within our markets, particularly unemployment and potential declines in real estate values. Personal events such as disability or change in marital status also add risk to non-commercial loans.

In addition to these common risks for the majority of our non-commercial loans, additional risks are inherent in certain of our classes of non-commercial loans.

Revolving mortgage

Revolving mortgage loans are often secured by second liens on residential real estate, thereby making such loans particularly susceptible to declining collateral values. A substantial decline in collateral value could render our second lien position to be effectively unsecured. Additional risks include lien perfection inaccuracies and disputes with first lienholders that may further weaken our collateral position. Further, the open-end structure of these loans creates the risk that customers may draw on the lines in excess of the collateral value if there have been significant declines since origination.

Consumer

The consumer loan portfolio includes loans secured by personal property such as automobiles, marketable securities, other titled recreational vehicles including boats and motorcycles, as well as unsecured consumer debt. The value of underlying collateral within this class is especially volatile due to potential rapid depreciation in values since date of loan origination in excess of principal repayment.

Residential mortgage and non-commercial construction and land development

Residential mortgage and non-commercial construction and land development loans are to individuals and are typically secured by 1-4 family residential property, undeveloped land, and partially developed land in anticipation of pending construction of a personal residence. Significant and rapid declines in real estate values can result in residential mortgage loan borrowers having debt levels in excess of the current market value of the collateral. Such a decline in values has led to unprecedented levels of foreclosures and losses during 2008-2010 within the banking

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(dollars in thousands)

industry. Non-commercial construction and land development loans often experience delays in completion and cost overruns that exceed the borrower’s financial ability to complete the project. Such cost overruns can routinely result in foreclosure of partially completed and unmarketable collateral.

Covered loans

The risks associated with covered loans are generally consistent with the risks identified for commercial and non-commercial loans and the classes of loans within those segments. An additional substantive risk with respect to covered loans relates to the FDIC loss share agreements, specifically the ability to receive timely and full reimbursement from the FDIC for losses and related expenses that we believe are covered by the loss share agreements. Further, these loans were underwritten by other institutions with weaker lending standards. Therefore, there is a significant risk that the loans are not adequately supported by the paying capacity of the borrower or the values of underlying collateral at the time of origination.



Credit quality indicators


Loans and leases are monitored for credit quality on a recurring basis and the composition of the loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2010 by credit quality indicator is provided below.basis. The credit quality indicators used are dependent on the portfolio segment to which the loan relates. CommercialOriginated commercial loans and leases, non-commercialoriginated noncommercial loans and leases and coveredacquired loans have different credit quality indicators as a result of the methods used to monitor each of these loan segments.


The loan and lease credit quality indicators for originated commercial loans and leases and all acquired loans and leases are developed through review of individual borrowers on an ongoing basis. Each borrower is evaluated at least annually with more frequent evaluation of more severely criticized loans or leases. The indicators represent the rating for loans or leases as of the date presented based on the most recent assessment performed. These credit quality indicators are defined as follows:


PassA pass rated asset is not adversely classified because it does not display any of the characteristics for adverse classification.


Special mention – A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, such potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not warrant adverse classification.


Substandard – A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligorborrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets classified as substandard generally have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These assets are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.


Doubtful– An asset classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in an asset classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values.


Loss – Assets classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuingit is inappropriate to be carried as an asset is not warranted.asset. This classification is not necessarily equivalent to no potential for recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not appropriate to defer a full write-offcharge-off even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.


Ungraded– Ungraded loans represent loans that are not included in the individual credit grading process due to their relatively small balances or borrower type. The majority of originated, ungraded loans at

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued), relate to business credit cards and tobacco buyout loans classified as commercial and industrial loans. Business credit card loans with an outstanding balance of

(dollars$72.4 million at December 31, 2013, are subject to automatic charge-off when they become 120 days past due in thousands)the same manner as unsecured consumer lines of credit. Tobacco buyout loans with an outstanding balance of

$22.1 million at December 31, 2013, are secured by assignments of receivables made pursuant to the Fair and Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of 2004. The loancredit risk associated with these loans is considered low as the payments that began in 2005 and continue through 2014 are made by the Commodity Credit Corporation, which is part of the United States Department of Agriculture. Final payment from the Commodity Credit Corporation was received during January 2014.


The credit quality indicators for noncovered, non-commercialoriginated, noncommercial loans and leases are based on the delinquency status of the borrower. As the borrower becomes more delinquent, the likelihood of loss increases.

The carrying value of restructured loans were also nonaccrual. BancShares does not have any significant outstanding commitments to borrowers that have restructured existing loans to more favorable terms due to their financial difficulties.

Interest income on nonperforming loans and leases that would have been recorded had these loans and leases been performing was $18,519, $3,920 and $1,275 respectively, during 2010, 2009 and 2008. When loans and leases are on nonaccrual status, any payments received are applied on a cash basis with all cash receipts applied first to principal and any payments received in excess of the unpaid principal balance being applied to interest. The amount of cash basis interest income recognized during 2010, 2009 or 2008 was not material.

Acquired loans

Cash flow analyses were prepared for First Regional and SAB loans deemed impaired at acquisition and those analyses are used to determine the amount of accretable yield recognized. Due to initial uncertainty regarding the timing offuture cash flows, no accretable yield was initially measured for loans deemed impaired at acquisition from TVB and VB, and the cost recovery method was $28.5 million at December 31, 2013, and $74.5 million at December 31, 2012. The cost recovery method is usedapplied to account for these loans.

The following table documents changesloans when the timing of future cash flows is not reasonably estimable due to borrower nonperformance or uncertainty in the amountultimate disposition of accretable yield. the asset.


For First Regional and SABacquired loans, improved cash flow estimates and receipt of unscheduled loan payments result in the reclassification of nonaccretable difference to accretable yield. For TVB and VB loans, receipt of unscheduled loan payments and improvements in expected losses result inAccretable yield resulting from the reclassification of nonaccretable differenceimproved ability to accretable yield.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

BancShares accounts for certain loan modifications or restructurings as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). In general, the modification or restructuring of a loan is considered a TDR if, for economic reasons or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, a concession is granted to the borrower that creditors would not otherwise consider. Concessions may relate to the contractual interest rate, maturity date, payment structure or other actions. In accordance with GAAP, loans acquired under ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired
with Deteriorated Credit Quality, are not initially considered to be TDRs, but can be classified as such if a modification is made subsequent to acquisition. The averagefollowing table provides a summary of total TDRs by accrual status.

Total troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2013, equaled $206.8 million, of which $102.3 million were acquired and $104.4 million were originated. TDRs at December 31, 2012, totaled $333.2 million, which consisted of $193.2 million acquired and $140.0 million that were originated.

The majority of TDRs are included in the special mention, substandard or doubtful grading categories, which results in more elevated loss expectations when determining the expected cash flows that are used to determine the allowance for loan losses associated with these loans. When a restructured loan subsequently defaults, it is evaluated and downgraded if appropriate. The more severely graded the loan, the lower the estimated expected cash flows and the greater the allowance recorded. Further, TDRs over $500,000 and graded substandard or lower are evaluated individually for impairment through a review of collateral values.

The FDIC receivable for loss share agreements is measured separately from the related covered assets and is recorded at fair value. The fair value was estimatedat the acquisition date using projected cash flows related to the loss share agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses and the applicable loss share percentages.

See Note Tfor information related to BancShares' recorded payable to the FDIC for loss share agreements.


Post-acquisition adjustments represent the net change in loss estimates related to coveredacquired loans and covered OREO as a result of changes in estimated fair valuesexpected cash flows and the allowance for loan and lease losses related to those covered loans. For loans covered by loss share agreements, subsequent decreases in the amount expected to be collected from the borrower or collateral liquidation result in a provision for loan and lease losses, an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses and a proportional adjustment to the receivable from the FDIC receivable for the estimated amount to be reimbursed. Subsequent increases in the amount expected to be collected from the borrower or collateral liquidation result in the reversal of any previously recorded provision for loan and lease losses and related allowance for loan and lease losses and adjustments to the receivable from the FDIC, receivable, or prospective adjustment to the accretable yield and the related receivable from the FDIC if no provision for loan and lease losses had been recorded.

The 8.05 percent junior subordinated debenture issued in 1998 (the 1998 Debenture) is held by FCB/NC Capital Trust I. FCB/NC Capital Trust I purchased the 1998 Debenture with the proceeds from the $150,000 in 8.05 percent trust preferred capital securities issued in 1998 (the 1998 Preferred Securities). The 1998 Debenture is the sole asset of the trust. The 1998 Preferred Securities are redeemable in whole or in part after March 1, 2008 at a premium that declines until 2018, when the redemption price equals the par value.

The variable rate junior subordinated debenture issued in 2006 (the 2006 Debenture) is held by FCB/NC Capital Trust III. FCB/NC Capital Trust III purchased the 2006 Debenture with the proceeds from the $115,000 in adjustable rate trust preferred securities issued in 2006 (the 2006 Preferred Securities). The 2006 Debenture is the sole asset of the trust. The 2006 Preferred Securities are redeemable in whole or in part after June 30, 2011.

The 2006 Preferred Securities and the 2006 Debenture were issued with a variable rate of 175 basis points above the 3-month LIBOR. Through the use of two interest rate swaps, BancShares has synthetically converted the variable rate coupon on the securities to a fixed rate of 7.125 percent through June 30, 2011 and to a fixed rate of 5.5 percent for the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2016.

FCB/NC Capital Trust I and FCB/NC Capital Trust III are grantor trusts established by BancShares for the purpose of issuing trust preferred capital securities.

The subordinated notes issued during 2005 are unsecured obligations of FCB and are junior to existing and future senior indebtedness and obligations to depositors and general or secured creditors.

NOTE K—L
ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES


Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about each financial instrument. Where information regarding the fair value of a financial instrument is publicly available, those values are used, as is the case with investment securities, residential mortgage loans and certain long-term obligations. In these cases, an open market exists in which those financial instruments are actively traded.

Because no market exists for many financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. For those financial instruments with a fixed interest rate, an analysis of the related cash flows was the basis for estimating fair values. The expected cash flows were then discountedintended to the valuation date using an appropriate discount rate. The discount rates used represent the rates under which similar transactions would be currently negotiated. For financial instruments with fixed and variable rates, fair value estimates also consider the impact of liquidity discounts appropriate as of the measurement date.

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants atas of the measurement date. When determiningWhere there is no active market for a financial instrument, BancShares has made estimates using discounted cash flow or other valuation techniques. Inputs to these valuation methods are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and require significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Accordingly, the derived fair value estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts BancShares could realize in a current market exchange.


Assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value according to a fair value hierarchy comprised of three levels. The levels are based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The level of an asset or liability within the fair value measurementshierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (with level 1 considered highest and level 3 considered lowest). A brief description of each level follows:
Level 1 values are based on quoted prices for assetsidentical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 values are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and liabilities, BancShares considersmodel-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the principal or most advantageous marketmarket.
Level 3 values are generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in which those assets or liabilities could be sold and considers the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates that market participants would use whenin pricing those assetsthe asset or liabilities. As required under US GAAP, individual fair value estimates are ranked based onliability. Valuation techniques include the relative reliabilityuse of the inputs used in the valuation. Fair values determined using level 1 inputs rely on activediscounted cash flow models and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. In situations where identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, fair values may be determined based on level 2 inputs, which exist when observable data exists for similar assets and liabilities. Fair values for assets and liabilities that are not actively traded in observable markets are based on level 3 inputs, which are considered to be nonobservable. It is BancShares’ policy to recognize transfers between levelstechniques.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


The methodologies used to estimate the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:


Investment securities. U.S.Treasury, government agency, mortgage-backed securities and state, county and municipal securities are measured at fair value using significant observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities and bids/offers. The inputs used for these securities are considered level 2 inputs. Equity securities are measured at fair value using observable closing prices. Management also considers the level of market activity by examining the trade volume of each security. Due to the relatively inactive nature of the markets, the inputs used for these securities are considered level 2 inputs.

Loans held for sale.Fair value for loans held for sale is generally based on market prices for loans with similar characteristics or external valuations. The inputs used in the fair value measurements for loans held for sale are considered level 2 inputs.

For other variable rate loans, carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. For other fixed rate loans, fair values are estimated based on discounted future cash flows using the current interest rates at which

loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. Additional valuation adjustments are made for liquidity and credit risk.

The inputs used in the fair value measurements for loans and leases are considered level 3 inputs.


Receivable from the FDIC for loss share agreements. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows using current discount rates. Due to post-acquisition improvements in expected losses, significant portions of the FDIC receivable will be recovered through amortization of the receivable over the remaining life of the loss share agreement rather than by cash flows from the FDIC. The estimated amounts to be amortized in future periods have no fair value. The inputs used in the fair value measurements for the FDIC receivable are considered level 3 inputs. The FDIC loss share agreements are not transferable and, accordingly, there is no market for this receivable.


DepositsFHLB stock. The carrying amount of FHLB stock is a reasonable estimate of fair value as these securities are not readily marketable and are evaluated for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. BancShares considers positive and negative evidence, including the profitability and asset quality of the issuer, dividend payment history and recent redemption experience, when determining the ultimate recoverability of the par value. BancShares believes its investment in FHLB stock is ultimately recoverable at par.

Preferred stock issued under the TARP program. Preferred securities issued under the Troubled Asset Recovery Program are recorded at cost and are evaluated quarterly for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the purchase price. The fair value of these securities is derived from a third-party proprietary model that is considered to be a level 3 input.

Deposits. For non-time deposits and variable rate time deposits, carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of fixed-ratefixed rate time deposits is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The inputs used in the fair value measurements for deposits are considered level 2 inputs.


Long-term obligations.For long-term obligations traded in active markets,fixed rate trust preferred securities, the fair values are determined based on recent trades of the actual market prices.security. For other long-term obligations, fair values are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates for similar financial instruments.

For all other financial assets and financial liabilities, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of The inputs used in the fair value asmeasurements for long-term obligations are considered level 2 inputs.


Payable to the FDIC for loss share agreements. The fair value of December 31, 2010the payable to the FDIC for loss share agreements is determined by the projected cash flows based on expected payments to the FDIC in accordance with the loss share agreements. Cash flows are discounted to reflect the timing of the estimated amounts due to the FDIC. The inputs used in the fair value measurements for the payable to the FDIC are considered level 3 inputs. See Note T for more information on the payable to the FDIC.

Interest rate swap. Under the terms of the existing cash flow hedge, BancShares pays a fixed payment to the counterparty in exchange for receipt of a variable payment that is determined based on the three-month LIBOR rate. The fair value of the cash flow hedge is, therefore, based on projected LIBOR rates for the duration of the hedge, values that, while observable in the market, are subject to adjustment due to pricing considerations for the specific instrument. If the fair value of the swap is a net asset, the risk of default by the counterparty is considered in the determination of fair value and 2009.

Carrying amounts include unamortized fee income and, in some cases, reserves for any credit losses from those financial instruments. These amounts are not material to BancShares’BancShares' financial position.

For all other financial assets and financial liabilities, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of the fair value as of December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012. The carrying value and fair value for these assets and liabilities are equivalent because they are relatively short term in nature and there is no interest rate or credit risk relating to them that would cause the fair value to differ from the carrying value.

During the active markets in which those securities are tradedthird quarter of 2013, management reevaluated its fair value leveling methodology and the resulting fair values are shown ininputs utilized by the ‘Level 1 input’ column. Prices3rd party pricing services for mortgage-backed securitiesthe current and state, county and municipal securities are obtained usingprior periods. Management concluded that due to the reliance on significant observable inputs, the fair values of similar assetsits U.S. Treasury, Government agency and other securities should be classified as level 2 rather than the resulting fair values are shownlevel 1 previously disclosed. Management also concluded that its equity securities should be classified as level 2 rather than the level 1 previously disclosed due to the inactive nature of the markets in the ‘Level 2 input’ column. At December 31, 2009, the fair value for the retained residual interest from a securitization transaction was determined based on level 3 nonobservable inputs. Based on changes to US GAAP related to accounting for QSPE’s and controlling financial interests that became effective January 1, 2010, the previously securitized loans were consolidated and the residual interest strip was removed from the consolidated balance sheet. which these securities trade.

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value and are, therefore, carried at fair value only when fair value is less than the asset cost. Certain impaired loans are also carried at fair value. Noncovered OREO that has been recently remeasured is deemed to be at fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


The estimated discount rate, which represents the interest rate that could be obtained for a suitable investment used to fund the benefit obligations, is based on a yield curve developed from high-quality corporate bonds across a full maturity spectrum. The projected cash flows of the pension plan are discounted based on this yield curve and a single discount rate is calculated to achieve the same present value.

The estimated long-term rate of return on plan assets is used to calculate the value of plan assets over time. The methodology utilized to establish the estimated long-term rate of return on plan assets considers the actual return on plan assets for various time horizons since 19961999 as a predictor of probable future returns. Historical returns are modified as appropriate by estimates of future market conditions that may positively or negatively affect estimated future returns. Due to a 22.0 percent loss on plan assets during 2008 and expectations for generally lower investment returns, the rate was adjusted downward to 8.0 percent for 2009. The return on plan assets rebounded materially in 2009 to 24.0 percent and 13.0 percent during 2010. The return on plan assets for the 15-year, 10-year and 5-year periods ended December 31, 20102013, equaled 7.776.99 percent, 6.568.39 percent and 6.9213.37 percent, respectively. Based on these lower actual returns and expectations for generallyof modest returns over the next several years, the assumed rate of return for 20112013 was 7.25 percent compared to 7.50 percent in 2012.

Plan Assets
BancShares' primary total return objective is to achieve returns that, over the long term, will be 7.75 percent.

fund retirement liabilities and provide for the desired plan benefits in a manner that satisfies the fiduciary requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The plan assets have a long-term time horizon that runs concurrent with the average life expectancy of the participants. As such, the Plan can assume a time horizon that extends well beyond a full market cycle and can assume a reasonable level of risk. It is expected, however, that both professional investment management and sufficient portfolio diversification will smooth volatility and help to generate a reasonable consistency of return. The investments are broadly diversified among economic sector, industry, quality and size in order to reduce risk and to produce incremental return. Within approved guidelines and restrictions, the investment manager has discretion over the timing and selection of individual investments. Plan assets are currently held by FCB Trust Department.

Plan Assets

Investment decisions regarding the plan’s assets seek to achieve a favorable annual return through a diversified portfolio that will provide needed capital appreciation and cash flow to allow both current and future benefit obligations to be paid. The target asset mix may change if the objectives for the plan’s assets or risk tolerance change or if a major shift occurs in the expected long-term risk and reward characteristics of one or more asset classes.

During the third quarter of 2013, BancShares adjusted its net deferred tax asset as a result of reductions in the North Carolina corporate income tax rate that were enacted July 23, 2013, and will become effective January 1, 2014, and January 1, 2015. The lower corporate income tax rate resulted in a reduction in the deferred tax asset and an increase in current period income tax expense. The lower effective tax rate for 2012 also reflects the impact of a $6.4 million credit to income tax expense resulting from the favorable outcome of state tax audits for the period 2008-2010, net of additional federal taxes.

No valuation allowance was necessary as of December 31, 2013, to reduce BancShares’ gross state deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized was $91 and $2,995 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in valuation allowance as of December 31, 2010 is primarily related to the release of the ISB state tax valuation allowance in anticipation of the merger into FCB that was approved during 2010 and completed January 7, 2011.

GAAP requires that goodwill be tested each year to determine if goodwill is impaired. The goodwill impairment test requires a two-step method to evaluate and calculate impairment. The first step requires estimation of eachthe reporting unit’s fair value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further testing is required. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, a second step is performed to determine whether an impairment charge must be recorded and, if so, the amount of such charge.

BancShares performs annual impairment tests as of July 31 each year. Neither reporting unit required further analysis afterAfter the first step for 2010. For 2009, based on the results of the first step,2013 and 2012, no further analysis was required as there was no indication of potential impairment for FCB’s goodwill. However, the first test indicated that an impairment of ISB’s $793 of goodwill was possible. The evaluation of impairment performed in the second step included the preparation of a fair value balance sheet for ISB to confirm whether impairment existed.

MATTERS


Various regulatory agencies have established guidelines that evaluate capital adequacy based on risk-adjustedrisk-weighted adjusted assets. An additional capital computation evaluates tangible capital based on tangible assets. Minimum capital requirements currently set forth by the regulatory agencies require a tier 1 capital ratio of no less than 4 percent of risk-weighted assets, a total capital ratio of no less than 8 percent of risk-weighted assets and a leverage capital ratio of no less than 3 percent of tangible assets. To meet the FDIC’s well-capitalized standards, the tier 1 and total capital ratios must be at least 6 percent and 10 percent, respectively.respectively, while the leverage ratio must equal 5 percent. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements may result in certain actions by regulators that could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Based on the most recent notifications from its regulators, FCB and ISB areis well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that as of December 31, 20102013, BancShares FCB and ISBFCB met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject and was not aware of any conditions or events that would affect FCB’s and ISB’s well-capitalized status.

As of December 31, 2013, BancShares had $93.5 million of trust preferred securities, which currently qualify as tier 1 capital in the capital ratio calculations. Beginning in 2013, one-third of the $265,000 currentlysecurities included in tier 1 capital. Beginning January 1, 2015, 75 percent of BancShares' trust preferred capital securities will be excluded from capital.tier 1 capital, with the remaining 25 percent phased out January 1, 2016. Elimination of theall trust preferred capital securities from the December 31, 20102013, capital structure would result in a proforma tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 7.939.38 percent, a proforma tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 12.8314.26 percent and a proforma total risk-based capital ratio of 14.9115.76 percent. On a proforma basis assuming disallowance of all trust preferred capital securities, BancShares wouldand FCB continue to remain well-capitalized under current regulatory guidelines.


Tier 2 capital of BancShares and FCB includes qualifying subordinated debt that was issued in 2005 with a scheduled maturity date of June 1, 2015. Under current regulatory guidelines, when subordinated debt is within five years of its scheduled maturity date, issuers must discount the amount included in tier 2 capital by 20 percent for each year until the debt matures. The amount of subordinated debt that qualifies as tier 2 capital totaled $25.0 million as of December 31, 2013, compared to $50.0 million at December 31, 2012. Subordinated debt will be completely removed from tier 2 capital in the second quarter of 2014, one year prior to the scheduled maturity of the subordinated debt.

In July 2013, Bank regulatory agencies approved new global regulatory capital guidelines (Basel) aimed at strengthening existing capital requirements for bank holding companies through a combination of higher minimum capital requirements, new capital conservation buffers and more conservative definitions of capital and balance sheet exposure. When fully implemented in January 2019, the rule includes a minimum ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5 percent and a common equity tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5 percent of risk-weighted assets, totaling 7 percent. The rule also raises the minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4 percent to 6 percent and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4 percent.

Additionally, trust preferred securities and cumulative preferred securities are required to be phased out of tier 1 capital by 2016. The inclusion of accumulated other comprehensive income in tier 1 common equity, as described in the proposed rules, is only applicable for institutions larger than $50 billion in assets.

Management continues to monitor Basel developments and remains committed to managing capital levels in a prudent manner. BancShares' tier 1 common equity ratio based on the current tier 1 capital and risk-weighted assets calculations, excluding trust preferred securities, is 14.26 percent at December 31, 2013, compared to the fully phased-in Federal Reserve standards of 7.00 percent.

BancShares has two classes of common stock—Class A common and Class B common. Shares of Class A common have one vote per share, while shares of Class B common have 16 votes per share.

During 2010,the second quarter of 2013, BancShares' board granted authority to purchase up to 100,000 and 25,000 shares of Class A and Class B common stock, respectively, beginning on July 1, 2013, and continuing through June 30, 2014.

NOTE S—T
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In order to


To meet the financing needs of its customers, BancShares and its subsidiaries have financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and recourse obligations on mortgage loans sold. These instruments involve elements of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk.


Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. Established credit standards control the credit-riskcredit risk exposure associated with these commitments. In some cases, BancShares requires that collateral be pledged to secure the commitment, including cash deposits, securities and other assets. At December 31, 2010 and 2009,2013, BancShares had unused commitments totaling $5,364,451 and $5,180,070 respectively.

$5.84 billion, compared to $5.47 billion at December 31, 2012.


Standby letters of credit are commitments guaranteeing performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are issued primarily to support public and private borrowing arrangements. In order toTo minimize its exposure, BancShares’ credit policies govern the issuance of standby letters of credit. At December 31, 20102013, and 2009,2012, BancShares had standby letters of credit amounting to $70,755$54.8 million and $73,749,$63.1 million, respectively. The credit risk related to the issuance of these letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients and, therefore, these letters of credit are collateralized when necessary.


Residential mortgage loans are sold with standard representations and warranties relating to documentation and underwriting requirements for the loans. If deficiencies are discovered at any point in the life of the loan, the investor may require BancShares to repurchase the loan. As of December 31, 2013, and 2012, other liabilities included a reserve of $3.6 million and $4.1 million, respectively, for estimated losses arising from the repurchase of loans under these provisions.

In addition to standard representations and warranties, residential mortgage loans sold with limited recourse liability represent guarantees to repurchase the loans or repay a portion of the sale proceeds in the event of nonperformance by the borrower. The recourse period is generally 120 days or less.fewer after sale. At December 31, 20102013, and 2009, Bancshares2012, BancShares has maximum recourse exposuresold loans of approximately $253,347$156.1 million and $204,927$205.9 million, respectively, for which the recourse period had not yet elapsed.

BancShares has recorded a receivable from the FDIC for the expected reimbursement of losses on these mortgage loans. Any loans that are repurchasedassets covered under the recourse obligation would carryvarious loss share agreements. These loss share agreements impose certain obligations on us that, in the same credit risk as mortgage loans originatedevent of noncompliance, could result in the delay or disallowance of some or all of our rights under those agreements. Requests for reimbursement are subject to FDIC review and may be delayed or disallowed for noncompliance. The loss share agreements are subject to interpretation by both the FDIC and FCB, and disagreements may arise regarding coverage of losses, expenses and contingencies.

The loss share agreements for four FDIC-assisted transactions include provisions related to contingent payments that may be owed to the FDIC at the termination of the agreements (clawback liability).The clawback liability represents an estimated payment by BancShares to the FDIC if actual cumulative losses on acquired covered assets are lower than the cumulative losses originally estimated by the companyFDIC at the time of acquisition. The clawback liability is estimated by discounting estimated future payments and would be collateralizedis recorded in the same manner.

Consolidated Balance Sheets as a payable to the FDIC for loss share agreements. As of December 31, 2013, and 2012, the clawback liability was $109.4 million and $101.6 million, respectively.


BancShares and various subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various legal actions arising from their normal business activities in which damages in various amounts are claimed. BancShares is also exposed to litigation risk relating to the prior business activities of banks from which assets were acquired and liabilities assumed in the various FDIC-assisted transactions. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of management, any such liability will not have a material effect on BancShares’ consolidated financial statements.

NOTE T—SEGMENT DISCLOSURES

For all periods reported, BancShares conducted its banking operations through its two banking subsidiaries, FCB and ISB. Although FCB and ISB offered similar products and services to customers, each entity operated in distinct geographic markets and has separate management groups, except California, Washington and Florida, where both operate as a result

TVB and VB. During 2010, First Citizens Bank extended its franchise into Florida with the FDIC-assisted acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of SAB and grew its network in southern California through the FDIC-assisted acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of First Regional.

ISB began operations in 1997 and operated from a thrift charter in Florida, Georgia, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas. Prior to the merger with FCB, ISB’s significance to BancShares’ consolidated financial results continued to grow.

Management has determined that prior to the January 7, 2011 merger, FCB and ISB are reportable business segments for all periods reported. In the aggregate, FCB and its consolidated subsidiaries, which are integral to its branch operation, and ISB account for more than 90 percent of consolidated assets, revenues and net income.

The ‘Other’ category in the accompanying table includes activities of the parent company and Neuse, Incorporated (Neuse), a subsidiary that owns real property used in the banking operation and owns OREO. The Neuse OREO relates to loans originated by ISB. During 2010 and 2009, Neuse purchased a portion of ISB’s OREO to reduce ISB’s nonperforming assets. To facilitate the potential purchase of additional OREO in the future, ISB agreed to lend Neuse up to $15,000 under a revolving line of credit. No amount was owed by Neuse to ISB as of December 31, 2010 or 2009 under the revolving line of credit.

The adjustments in the accompanying tables represent the elimination of the impact of certain intercompany transactions. The adjustments for interest income and interest expense neutralize the earnings and cost of intercompany borrowings. The adjustments to noninterest income and noninterest expense reflect the elimination of management fees and other service fees paid from one company to another within BancShares’ consolidated group.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 1, 2014, FCB completed its merger with 1st Financial Services Corporation (1st Financial) of Hendersonville, NC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mountain 1st Bank & Trust Company (Mountain 1st). The merger allows FCB to expand its presence in Western North Carolina. Mountain 1st had 12 branches located in Asheville, Brevard, Columbus, Etowah, Fletcher, Forest City, Hendersonville, Hickory, Marion, Shelby and Waynesville. Following the merger, FCB applied for permission to close seven Mountain 1st branches due to their proximity to existing FCB branches. Once regulatory approvals have been received, customers have been notified and waiting periods have expired, Mountain 1st branches in Asheville, Brevard, Fletcher, Forest City, Hendersonville, Hickory and Marion will be closed, and customer relationships assigned to those branches will be transferred to the requirementsnearest FCB branch.

First Citizens paid $10.0 million to acquire 1st Financial, including payments of Section 13 or 15(d)$8.0 million to the U.S. Treasury to satisfy 1st Financial's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) obligation and $2.0 million paid to the shareholders of 1st Financial.

The 1st Financial merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The purchased assets, assumed liabilities and identifiable intangible assets were recorded at their acquisition date estimated fair values. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the Securities Exchange Acttransaction as additional information regarding closing date fair values becomes available.
