NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The organization and business of Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc., a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina (the "Company"), accounting policies followed by the Company, and other information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with such Annual Report.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In management’s opinion, the financial information contained in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank"). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017.
Certain amounts previously presented in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current classifications. All such reclassifications had no impact on the prior periods' Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income, or Shareholders' Equity as previously reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date instead of to the maturity date. This update does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 was effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2017 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
From time to time the FASB issues exposure drafts for proposed statements of financial accounting standards. Such exposure drafts are subject to comment from the public, to revisions by the FASB and to final issuance by the FASB as statements of financial accounting standards. Management considers the effect of the proposed statements on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and monitors the status of changes to and proposed effective dates of exposure drafts.

NOTE B - NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share represents earnings credited to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards.
Basic and diluted net income per common share are computed based upon net income as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding or assumed to be outstanding. All share and per common share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below). Refer to Note J - Reverse Stock Split for additional information.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share (amounts in thousands, except share data).

Management evaluates each quarter whether unrealized losses on securities represent impairment that is other than temporary. For debt securities, the Company considers its intent to sell the securities or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities. If such impairment is identified, based upon the intent to sell or the more likely than not threshold, the carrying amount of the security is reduced to fair value with a charge to earnings. Upon the result of the aforementioned review, management then reviews for potential other than temporary impairment based upon other qualitative factors. In making this evaluation, management considers changes in market rates relative to those available when the security was acquired, changes in market expectations about the timing of cash flows from securities that can be prepaid, performance of the debt security, and changes in the market's perception of the issuer's financial health and the security's credit quality. If it is determined that a debt security has incurred other than temporary impairment, then the amount of the credit related impairment is determined. If a credit loss is evident, the amount of the credit loss is charged to earnings and the non-credit related impairment is recognized through other comprehensive income.
The unrealized gains and losses on securities at March 31, 2017 resulted from changing market interest rates compared to the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The investment portfolio included 18 of 54 Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), 13 of 16 Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") MBS, and 9 of 32 taxable municipal securities that contained net unrealized losses at March 31, 2017. Management identified no impairment related to credit quality. For debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company does not intend to sell and it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis. As a result, no other than temporary impairment losses were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Recorded Investment in Loans
The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an amount adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio in the normal course of business. Management evaluates the adequacy of this allowance on at least a quarterly basis, which includes a review of loans both specifically and collectively evaluated for impairment.
The following tables are an analysis of the allowance for loan losses by loan segment as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands).

Credit Risk
The Company uses an internal grading system to assign the degree of inherent risk on each individual loan and monitors trends in portfolio quality. The grade is initially assigned by the lending officer or credit administration and reviewed by the loan administration function throughout the life of the loan. There have been no significant changes in credit grade definitions as outlined in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
The following tables are an analysis of the creditworthiness by loan class and credit card portfolio exposure as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands).

Troubled Debt Restructurings
Loans are classified as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") when, for economic or legal reasons which result in a debtor experiencing financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession through a modification of the original loan agreement that would not otherwise be considered. Generally concessions are granted as a result of a borrower's inability to meet the contractual repayment obligations of the initial loan terms and in the interest of improving the likelihood of recovery of the loan. We may grant these concessions by a number of means such as (1) forgiving principal or interest, (2) reducing the stated interest rate to a below market rate, (3) deferring principal payments, (4) changing repayment terms from amortizing to interest only, (5) extending the repayment period, or (6) accepting a change in terms based upon a bankruptcy plan. However, the Bank only restructures loans for borrowers that demonstrate the willingness and capacity to repay the loan under reasonable terms and where the Bank has sufficient protection provided by the cash flow of the underlying collateral or business.
The Bank's policy with respect to accrual of interest on loans restructured in a TDR process follows relevant supervisory guidance. If a borrower has demonstrated performance under the previous loan terms and shows capacity to perform under the restructured loan terms, continued accrual of interest at the restructured interest rate is considered and the loan is considered performing. If the borrower does not perform under the restructured terms, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. If the borrower was materially delinquent on payments prior to the restructuring but shows the capacity to meet the restructured loan terms, the loan will likely continue as nonaccrual and nonperforming until such time as continued performance has been demonstrated, which is typically a period of at least six consecutive payments.
The following table provides the total recorded investment in modified as TDRs at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands).

Litigation Proceedings
The Company is a party to certain legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. The Company believes these actions are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of its business. While the outcome of these actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management’s present judgment is that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

NOTE G – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Fair Value Measured on a Recurring Basis.
The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a recurring basis, as described below.
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities have historically included equity securities traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange. As of March 31, 2017, there were no Level 1 securities. Level 2 securities include taxable and tax exempt municipalities and mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities. The Company’s mortgage-backed securities were primarily issued by GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC. As of March 31, 2017, all of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities were agency issued and designated as Level 2 securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include other debt securities in less liquid markets and with no quoted market price.

Fair Value Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis.
The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, as described below.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, the Company classifies loans held for sale as a Level 2 valuation.
Impaired Loans
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, when a loan is considered impaired, it is evaluated for impairment and written down to its estimated fair value or an allowance for loan losses is established. When the fair value of an impaired loan is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value with no adjustments, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When there is no observable market prices, an appraised value is not available, or the Company determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, the impaired loan is classified as nonrecurring Level 3.
Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. Given the lack of observable market prices for identical properties, the Company records foreclosed assets as non-recurring Level 3.
Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimate selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the property or management's estimation of the value of the property. Given the lack of observable market prices, the Company records premises and equipment held for sale assets as non-recurring Level 3.
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are included in the tables below at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands).

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents the valuation methodology and unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2017 (amounts in thousands, except percentages).

Foreclosed assets | $ | 1,533 | Discounted appraisals | 10 - 30% | |||
Premises and equipment held for sale | $ | 2,363 | Discounted appraisals | 10 - 50% |
Collateral discounts to determine fair value on impaired loans varies widely and result from the consideration of the following factors: the age of the most recent appraisal, the type of asset serving as collateral, the expected marketability of the asset, its material or environmental condition, and comparisons to actual sales data of similar assets from both internal and external sources.
As foreclosed assets are brought into other real estate owned through a process which requires a fair market valuation, further discounts typically reflect market conditions specific to the asset. These conditions are usually captured in subsequent appraisals which are required on an annual basis, and depending upon asset type and marketability demonstrate a more restrained variance than that noted above.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents are equal to the fair value due to the liquid nature of the financial instruments.
Certificate of Deposits
These investments are valued at carrying amounts for fair value purposes.
Securities Available-for-Sale and Securities Held-to-Maturity
Fair values of investment securities are based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
Loans Held For Sale
The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics.
Loans
The fair value of loans has been estimated utilizing the net present value of future cash flows based upon contractual balances, prepayment assumptions, and applicable weighted average interest rates, adjusted for a 3% current liquidity and market discount assumption. The Company has assigned no fair value to off-balance sheet financial instruments since they are either short term in nature or subject to immediate repricing.
FHLB Stock
The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value.
Deposits
The fair value of non-maturing deposits such as noninterest-bearing demand, money market, NOW, and savings accounts, are by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand. Fair value for maturing deposits such as CDs and IRAs are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach that applies current interest rates to expected maturities.
Borrowings, Subordinated Debentures, and Subordinated Promissory Notes
The fair value of borrowings, subordinated debentures, and subordinated promissory notes, is based on discounting expected cash flows at the interest rate from debt with the same or similar remaining maturities and collection requirements.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximates fair value.

NOTE H - CAPITAL & REGULATORY INFORMATION
North Carolina banking law requires that the Bank may not pay a dividend that would reduce its capital below the applicable required capital. In addition, regulatory authorities may limit payment of dividends by any bank when it is determined that such a limitation is in the public interest and is necessary to ensure the financial soundness of the Bank. Decisions to pay dividends are based on a number of factors including capital position and capital adequacy, ongoing operations and profitability, the risk profile of the institution and general market conditions, among other things. On April 25, 2017, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share payable on or after May 23, 2017, to shareholders of record on May 8, 2017.
Current federal regulations require that the Company and the Bank maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of 8.0%, with at least 6.0% being in the form of Tier 1 capital, as defined in the regulations. In addition, the Company and the Bank must maintain a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% and a leverage ratio of 4.0%. For the Bank to be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum amounts and ratios as set forth in the table below. There is no such category for well capitalized at the Company level. At March 31, 2017, the Bank was classified as well capitalized for regulatory capital purposes.
Capital ratios for the Bank and the Company are presented in the table below.

In July 2015, the Bank entered into a Written Agreement (the "2015 Written Agreement") with the FRB replacing the Written Agreement the Company and the Bank entered into with the FRB and the North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks in May 2011. Under the terms of the 2015 Written Agreement, the Bank submitted and implemented the following plans:
•a written plan to assure ongoing board oversight of the Bank's management and operations;
•a written program for the review of new products, services, or business lines; and
•an enhanced written program for conducting appropriate levels of customer due diligence by the Bank.
In addition, the Bank agreed that within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter following the date of the 2015 Written Agreement, it would submit to FRB written progress reports detailing the form and manner of all actions taken to secure compliance with the 2015 Written Agreement and the results thereof.
On May 4, 2017, the FRB announced that it was terminating the 2015 Written Agreement, effective April 28, 2017.

NOTE J - REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
On March 7, 2017, the Company filed with the North Carolina Department of the Secretary of State Articles of Amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a one for five reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized, issued, and outstanding common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Articles of Amendment did not change the par value of the Company’s common stock. The Articles of Amendment provided that the Reverse Stock Split became effective at 5 P.M., Eastern Time, on March 8, 2017, at which time every five shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and any fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share. In addition, the number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced from 80,000,000 to 16,000,000.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides information about the major components of the financial condition and results of operations of Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references in this report to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company and its subsidiaries. References to the “Bank” mean our wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016
The Company’s total assets increased $16.8 million or 2.3% from $719.9 million at December 31, 2016 to $736.7 million at March 31, 2017 primarily due to increased cash and loan growth. Cash, cash equivalents, and investments were $175.3 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $163.6 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of $11.7 million or 7.1%. Outstanding gross loans grew to $513.0 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $507.0 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of $6.0 million or 1.2% for the period resulting in an annual growth rate of 4.7%.
Total liabilities were $667.1 million at March 31, 2017, an increase of $15.2 million or 2.3%, from $651.9 million at December 31, 2016. Total deposits increased $6.5 million or 1.2% during the three month period ended March 31, 2017, from $553.5 million at December 31, 2016, to $560.0 million at March 31, 2017. As our market teams continue to focus on demand, savings, and money market account growth, this total increased $16.4 million or 4.6% during the three month period ended March 31, 2017 totaling $368.6 million compared to $352.2 million at December 31, 2016. This growth was offset by reductions in time deposits of $9.9 million or 4.9%, which totaled $191.4 million as of March 31, 2017 compared to $201.3 million at December 31, 2016. This decline in time deposits was a result of reductions in brokered deposits of approximately $6 million coupled with reduced retail time deposits. Long-term borrowings were $80.0 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $70.0 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of $10.0 million or 14.3% due to the execution of additional advances. Total shareholders’ equity increased $1.5 million or 2.3%, from $68.0 million at December 31, 2016, to $69.5 million at March 31, 2017. This increase resulted primarily from net income generated during the first quarter, as well as increases in accumulated other comprehensive income on the available for sale securities portfolio.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016
Net Income. Pre-tax net income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $1.8 million compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2016, an increase of $547,000 or 42.3%. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $1.2 million, or $0.18 net income per basic and diluted share, as compared to net income of $831,000, or $0.13 net income per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loan and investment securities, and interest expense, largely on customer deposits and borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread, and margin. For this purpose, volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Margin is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as by levels of non-interest-bearing liabilities and capital.
Net interest income totaled $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2016, an increase of $538,000 or 9.1%. Interest income totaled $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2016, an increase of $487,000 or 6.8%. Interest expense remained flat at $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Net interest margin improved 28 basis points to 3.97% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, as compared to 3.69% for the same period ended March 31, 2016. The primary driver of the improved margins and overall net interest income was the increase in interest earned on loans offset by a decrease in interest earned on investment securities. Both of these fluctuations were driven primarily by changes in average balances as interest rates remained fairly constant over both periods.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses is charged to bring the allowance for loan losses to the level deemed appropriate by management after adjusting for recoveries of amounts previously charged off. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level deemed adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and results from management’s consideration of such factors as the financial condition of borrowers, past and expected loss experience, current economic conditions, and other factors management feels deserve recognition in establishing an appropriate reserve. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, no provision for the allowance for loan losses was recognized in earnings.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $155,000 to $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Increases were seen in all categories of non-interest income as compared to the prior year. Service charges and fees increased $55,000 while other non-interest income increased $45,000. Additionally, the Company invested in a new bank owned life insurance policy during the fourth quarter of 2016, which increased fee income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 by $55,000.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $146,000 to $5.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $5.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. Other operating expenses increased $210,000 due primarily to the normalization of card processing expenses as all card-related conversions are now complete. There was additionally an increase in total compensation expenses, which totaled $110,000. The primary drivers of this increase were changes in the vesting expectations for performance based restricted stock awards and an increase in the Company match on employee 401K plans that was implemented late in the first quarter of 2016. These increases were offset by improvements in asset quality related expenses, which led to reductions in FDIC assessment rates as well as collection and foreclosure related expenses.
Income Taxes. The Company recorded income tax expense of $653,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $463,000 for the same period in 2016. The increase in taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was driven primarily by the increase in net income. The effective tax rate was fairly constant for each period at 35.5% and 35.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively.
-35-
Asset Quality
Asset quality measures have continued to be positive and management believes asset quality is now at stabilized levels. Classified assets as of March 31, 2017, which include loans risk graded substandard or lower and foreclosed assets, totaled $7.5 million compared to $7.8 million at December 31, 2016, a decline of $275,000. The classified assets to capital ratio totaled 8.4% as of March 31, 2017 compared to 8.9% at year end 2016.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonperforming loans, accruing loans which are past due 90 days or more, repossessed assets, and other real estate owned ("foreclosed assets"). As of March 31, 2017, nonperforming assets increased $16,000 or 0.3% when compared to December 31, 2016.
The following table describes our nonperforming asset portfolio by loan class as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands, except ratios).

Nonaccrual Loans
Loans are moved to nonaccrual status and recognition of interest income ceases when it is probable that full collectibility of principal and interest in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement may not occur. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of gross loans remained flat at 0.9% for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. At March 31, 2017, there were 29 nonaccrual loans totaling $4.5 million compared to 29 loans totaling $4.3 million at December 31, 2016. The amount of interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 that would have been reported on loans in nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2017 totaled $60,000.
-36-
Foreclosed Assets
At March 31, 2017, there were 24 foreclosed properties valued at a total of $1.5 million compared to 26 foreclosed properties valued at $1.7 million as of December 31, 2016.
Troubled Debt Restructurings
Loans are classified as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") when, for economic or legal reasons which result in a debtor experiencing financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession through a modification of the original loan agreement that would not otherwise be considered. Generally concessions are granted as a result of a borrower's inability to meet the contractual repayment obligations of the initial loan terms and in the interest of improving the likelihood of recovery of the loan. We may grant these concessions by a number of means such as (1) forgiving principal or interest, (2) reducing the stated interest rate to a below market rate, (3) deferring principal payments, (4) changing repayment terms from amortizing to interest only, (5) extending the repayment period, or (6) accepting a change in terms based upon a bankruptcy plan. However, the Bank only restructures loans for borrowers that demonstrate the willingness and capacity to repay the loan under reasonable terms and where the Bank has sufficient protection provided by the cash flow of the underlying collateral or business.
The Bank's policy with respect to accrual of interest on loans restructured in a TDR process follows relevant supervisory guidance. If a borrower has demonstrated performance under the previous loan terms and shows capacity to perform under the restructured loan terms, continued accrual of interest at the restructured interest rate is considered and the loan is considered performing. If the borrower does not perform under the restructured terms, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. If the borrower was materially delinquent on payments prior to the restructuring but shows the capacity to meet the restructured loan terms, the loan will likely continue as nonaccrual and nonperforming until such time as continued performance has been demonstrated, which is typically a period of at least six consecutive payments.
As of March 31, 2017, there were five restructured loans in accrual status compared to six as of December 31, 2016. Regardless of whether any individual TDR is performing, all TDRs are considered to be impaired and are evaluated as such in the allowance for loan losses calculation. As of March 31, 2017, the recorded investment in performing TDRs and their related allowance for loan losses totaled $918,000 and $0, respectively. Outstanding nonperforming TDRs totaled $938,000 with $104,000 in specific reserves as of March 31, 2017. The amount of interest recognized for performing and nonperforming TDRs during the first three months of 2017 were approximately $16,000 and $1,000, respectively.
The following table presents performing and nonperforming TDRs at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands).

Allowance for Loan Losses and Summary of Loss Experience
The allowance for loan losses is established through periodic charges to earnings in the form of a provision for loan losses. Increases to the allowance for loan losses occur as a result of provisions charged to operations and recoveries of amounts previously charged-off, and decreases to the allowance occur when loans are charged-off because management believes that the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Management evaluates the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses on at least a quarterly basis. The evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses involves the consideration of loan growth, loan portfolio composition and industry diversification, historical loan loss experience, current delinquency levels, adverse conditions that might affect a borrower’s ability to repay the loan, estimated value of underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and all other relevant factors derived from our history of operations. Additionally, regulatory agencies review our allowance for loan losses and may require additional provisions for estimated losses based on judgments that differ from those of management.
The following table summarizes the Company's loan loss experience by class for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands, except ratios).

The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2017 was $9.6 million, which represents 1.88% of total loans compared to $9.1 million or 1.91% as of March 31, 2016. The increase in amount is due to net recoveries during the rolling twelve month period while the change in percentage of total loans is primarily due to loan growth. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, charge-offs were greater than recoveries resulting in net charge-offs of $27,000 as compared to net charge-offs of $532,000 for the prior year period. The large favorable variance from the prior year charge-off total is due to the absence of a $565,000 single note charge-off that was present in the 2016 period.
The allowance for loan losses on individually reviewed impaired loans totaled $1.1 million as of March 31, 2017, compared to $1.0 million as of December 31, 2016, a 9% increase. The allowance for loan losses on the loans reviewed collectively decreased from $8.7 million as of December 31, 2016 to $8.5 million as of March 31, 2017.

Because of the nature of the Company’s primary markets and business, a significant portion of the loan portfolio is secured by commercial real estate, including residential and commercial acquisition, development, and construction properties. As of March 31, 2017, approximately 94% of the loan portfolio had real estate as a primary component of collateral. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower. Real estate values in many of our markets have improved. The Company continues to thoroughly review and monitor its construction and commercial real estate concentrations and the associated allowance and sets limits by sector and region based on this internal review.
The following table summarizes the Company’s allowance for loan losses by category and percent of loans within each category at March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016 (amounts in thousands, except ratios).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Market and public confidence in our financial strength and in the strength of financial institutions in general will largely determine our access to appropriate levels of liquidity. This confidence is significantly dependent on our ability to maintain sound asset quality and appropriate levels of capital resources. The term “liquidity” refers to our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our needs for funding loan originations, deposit withdrawals, maturities of borrowings and operating expenses. Management measures our liquidity position by giving consideration to both on and off-balance sheet sources of, and demands for, funds on a daily and weekly basis.
Sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents (net of federal requirements to maintain reserves against deposit liabilities), investment securities eligible for pledging to secure borrowings, investments available-for-sale, loan repayments, loan sales, deposits and borrowings from the FHLB secured with pledged loans and securities, and from correspondent banks under overnight federal funds credit lines. During the first three months of 2017, the Company's primary use of its excess liquidity was to fund growth in the loan and securities portfolio.
The Company sold $11.5 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated promissory notes to certain accredited investors in December 2015. These notes are due on November 30, 2025 and the Company is obligated to pay interest at an annualized rate of 6.25% payable in quarterly installments commencing on March 1, 2016. The Company may prepay the notes at any time after November 30, 2020, subject to compliance with applicable law. The proceeds were used to refinance the Company's then outstanding subordinated promissory notes issued in 2009.
Management believes that the Company’s liquidity sources are adequate to meet its operating needs for the next twelve months. Total shareholders’ equity was $69.5 million or 9.44% of total assets at March 31, 2017 and $68.0 million or 9.45% of total assets at December 31, 2016. Supplementing customer deposits as a source of funding, we have available lines of credit from various correspondent banks to purchase federal funds on a short-term basis of approximately $37.0 million that remain unused at March 31, 2017.

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock since it suspended dividends in the fourth quarter of 2010. The Bank's ability to declare a dividend to the Company and our ability to pay dividends are subject to the restrictions of the North Carolina Business Corporation Act. As a bank holding company, the Company’s ability to declare and pay dividends depends on certain federal regulatory considerations, including the guidelines of the Federal Reserve regarding capital adequacy and dividends.
The Bank paid a dividend to the Company in April 2017 and, on April 25, 2017, the Company announced that the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.01 per share payable on or after May 23, 2017, to shareholders of record on May 8, 2017. The Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the payment of cash dividends quarterly and determine whether such cash dividends are in the Company's best interest in the business judgment of the Board of Directors and are consistent with maintaining the Company's and the Bank's status as a “well capitalized” bank holding company and banking institution, respectively, under applicable banking laws and regulations. The Company's earnings, projected future earnings, and capital levels, among other things, will be reviewed by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis to determine whether a quarterly dividend will be paid to shareholders and, if so, the appropriate amount. Actual declaration of any future dividends and the establishment of the record dates related thereto remain subject to further action by the Board of Directors as well as the limitations discussed above.
Regulatory Update
In July 2015, the Bank entered into a Written Agreement (the "2015 Written Agreement") with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (the "FRB") replacing the Written Agreement the Company and the Bank entered into with the FRB and the North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks in May 2011. Under the terms of the 2015 Written Agreement, the Bank submitted and implemented the following plans:
•a written plan to assure ongoing board oversight of the Bank's management and operations;
•a written program for the review of new products, services, or business lines; and
•an enhanced written program for conducting appropriate levels of customer due diligence by the Bank.
In addition, the Bank agreed that within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter following the date of the 2015 Written Agreement, it would submit to FRB written progress reports detailing the form and manner of all actions taken to secure compliance with the 2015 Written Agreement and the results thereof.
On May 4, 2017, the FRB announced that it was terminating the 2015 Written Agreement, effective April 28, 2017.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods required by the SEC's rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to certain legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. We believe these actions are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of our business. While the outcome of these actions cannot be predicted with certainty, management’s present judgment is that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects. If, however, our assessment of these actions is inaccurate, or there are any significant adverse developments in these actions, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be adversely affected.
ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, except that the risks related to the 2015 Written Agreement are no longer applicable following its termination effective April 28, 2017.
