MIDCAROLINA FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of MidCarolina Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary MidCarolina Bank (the “Bank”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In management’s opinion, the financial information, which is unaudited, reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of September 30, 2009 and for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.
The organization and business of 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. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such annual report.
Prior period amounts may have been reclassified for proper presentation. The Company reclassified $536,000 of net gain on sale of foreclosed real estate for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively, from non-interest income to non-interest expense. The reclassification did not impact net income for either period.
Subsequent events have been evaluated through November 13, 2009, which is the date of financial statement issuance.
NOTE B - COMMITMENTS
At September 30, 2009, loan commitments were as follows (in thousands):
| | | |
Commitments to extend credit | | $ | 30,678 |
Undisbursed lines of credit | | | 33,548 |
Standby letters of credit | | | 2,907 |
Commitments to sell loans held for sale | | | 1,212 |
NOTE C - PER SHARE DATA
Diluted earnings per share reflect additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued. For the three month period ended September 30, 2009 there were 268,571 options that were antidilutive. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 there were 268,571 options that were antidilutive. For the three month period ended September 30, 2008 there were 148,241 options that were antidilutive. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 there were 148,223 options that were antidilutive.

MIDCAROLINA FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Investment securities with amortized cost of $19.0 million and fair value of $19.2 million at September 30, 2009 were pledged to secure public monies on deposit as required by law.
Debt securities were divided into two groups, those rated investment grade by at least one nationally-recognized rating agency and those rated below investment grade by all nationally-recognized agencies. Impairment of debt securities consistently rated investment grade is considered temporary unless specific contrary information is identified. None of the debt securities consistently rated investment grade were considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2009.
At September 30, 2009 approximately $2.9 million (based on amortized cost before impairment charges) of our portfolio, (consisting of two private label mortgage-backed securities and one subordinated debenture) was rated below investment grade by all nationally-recognized rating agencies. Five municipal securities with a total amortized cost of $4.3 million, and which previously were AAA rated had become non-rated as a result of insurance guarantors’ credit quality concerns. At September 30, 2009, the aggregate unrealized loss on the private label mortgage-backed securities, subordinated debenture and municipal securities totaled $1.1 million before recognition of any other-than-temporary impairment charges. Impairment of securities rated below investment grade were evaluated to determine if we expect not to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. This evaluation was based on projections of estimated cash flows based on individual loans underlying each security using current and anticipated increases in unemployment and default rates, decreases in housing prices and increases in loss severity at foreclosure.
The primary assumptions used in this evaluation were:
Prepayments - starting with current refinancing and payoff prepayment vector statistics based on information derived from the trustee. The bonds’ prepayment vectors anticipates 12- 15 VPR for 3-6 months and 8-10 VPR for 6 months and then returning to historical norms of 4-5 VPR to maturity.
Loss severity - estimated lifetime foreclosure rates are 35% - 40%. Loss severity includes estimated holding and disposal expenses.
Default rate - The model takes the consumer default rate from the mortgage backed bonds 2 month average default rate from 5% to 13% over the next 24 months and down to 3.3% through maturity.
Discount rates - estimated cash flows were discounted at rates that range from 5.50% to 6.00% based on our purchase yields.
The evaluation uses an adjusted loan to value ratio as part of our evaluation of whether the unrealized losses on these securities are temporary or other-than-temporary. The adjusted loan to value ratio is based on the original loan to value ratio inherent in the security, adjusted for changes in housing prices, prepayment speeds, default rates and credit enhancements. A higher adjusted loan to value ratio indicates a greater likelihood that projected cash flows may result in losses. A shortfall between our current amortized cost and the present value of expected cash flows we are likely to collect, based on all available information, is referred to as the credit loss, which is the amount recognized in net income.
The evaluation of previously recognized other-than-temporary impairment at December 31, 2008 was $490,000. In accordance with the provision set forth in ASC 320-10-65-1 of the other-than-temporary impairment charge recognized in 2008, $343,000 was determined to relate to other non-credit-related factors in the market place. This resulted in an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income in the amount of $211,000, net of tax effect.

Based on our evaluation, two securities were identified with other-than-temporary impairment at September 30, 2009. For the first nine months of 2009 total other than temporary impairment losses totaled $1.1 million and of this amount estimated credit losses totaled $130,000 on these securities, which were charged against earnings. The difference between total unrealized losses and estimated credit losses on these securities was charged against accumulated other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes.
The following table shows a roll forward of the amount related to credit losses recognized on debt securities held by the Company for which a portion of an other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in other comprehensive income.

At September 30, 2009, the balance of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Atlanta stock held by the Company is $2.4 million. On March 25, 2009 and May 8, 2009, FHLB announced that it would not pay a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2008 or first quarter of 2009, respectively, reflecting a conservative financial management approach in light of continued volatility in the financial markets. On February 27, 2009, FHLB announced that it would increase the Subclass B1 membership stock requirement cap from $25 million to $26 million and approve excess activity-based stock repurchases on a quarterly review cycle instead of daily in order to facilitate capital management. On August 12, 2009, the FHLB announced an annualized dividend rate of 0.84 percent, which was paid on August 14, 2009. On October 30, 2009 the FHLB announced an annualized dividend rate for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009 of 0.41 percent which was credited to member’s accounts on November 2, 2009. Given all this, management believes that its investment in FHLB stock was not other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008. Further, there can be no assurance that the impact of recent or future legislation on the Federal Home Loan Banks will not also cause a decrease in the value of the FHLB stock held by the Company.

NOTE G - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company adopted FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, effective January 1, 2009, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. From time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale and other certain assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting write-downs of individual assets.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.
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 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 include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds, private label collateralized mortgage obligations and corporate debt securities.
Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities and corporate debt securities in less liquid markets.
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 subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2.
Loans
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as impaired, management measures impairment on an individual basis. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. As of September 30, 2009, the Bank identified $4.9 million in impaired loans. Of these impaired loans, $3.8 million were identified to have impairment of $823 thousand. At December 31, 2008, loans with a book value of $4.0 million were evaluated for impairment. Of this total, $3.3 million required a specific allowance totaling $520 thousand for a net fair value of $2.8 million. The determination of impairment was based on the estimated fair market value of collateral for each loan determined through the use of appraisals and subjected to further discounts by management, which is considered to be a Level 3 input.

NOTE G - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)
Foreclosed Real Estate
Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value at the date of transfer subject to future impairment. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.
The following table summarizes quantitative disclosures about the fair value measurement for each category of assets carried at fair value as of September 30, 2009 (Dollars in thousands):

NOTE H - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC TOPIC 825Financial Instruments, requires a company to disclose on an interim and annual basis the fair value of its financial instruments whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practical to estimate that value.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holding of a particular financial instrument. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, 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. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates. Finally, the fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Due from Banks, Federal Funds Sold and Interest-Earning Deposits
The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits approximate fair value because of the short maturities of those instruments. These instruments are considered cash and cash equivalents.

NOTE H - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Investment Securities
Fair value for investment securities is based on quoted market price if such information is available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions.
Loans Held for Sale
Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.
Loans
For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as residential mortgages, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. However, the values derived likely do not represent exit prices due to the distressed market conditions; therefore, incremental market risks and liquidity discounts of approximately 2% were subtracted to reflect the illiquid and distressed conditions at September 30, 2009. There was no application of market and liquidity discounts reflected at December 31, 2008.
Investment in Life Insurance
The carrying value of life insurance approximates fair value because this investment is carried at cash surrender value, as determined by the insurer.
Deposits, Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt
Deposits and short-term borrowings without a stated maturity, or insignificant term to maturity, including demand, interest bearing demand, savings accounts and FHLB borrowings are reported at their carrying value. No value has been assigned to the franchise value of deposits. For other types of deposits and long-term debt, with fixed rates and longer maturities is estimated based upon the discounted value of projected future cash outflows using the rates currently offered for instruments of similar remaining maturities.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable
The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable are assumed to approximate fair values.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
With regard to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk discussed in Note B, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of future financing commitments.

NOTE I - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(revised 2007),Business Combinations, (ASC 805,Business Combinations) “ASC 805”, which replaces SFAS No. 141. ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities and any noncontrolling interest acquired due to a business combination. ASC 805 expands the definitions of a business and a business combination, resulting in an increased number of transactions or other events that will qualify as business combinations. Under ASC 805 the entity that acquires the business (the “acquirer”) will record 100 percent of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values. As such, an acquirer will not be permitted to recognize the allowance for loan losses of the acquiree. ASC 805 requires the acquirer to recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, measured as a residual. In most business combinations, goodwill will be recognized to the extent that the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at the acquisition date exceeds the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed as incurred rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. ASC 805 is effective for fiscal

years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 805 on January 1, 2009, had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (ASC 815-10-65-1,Transition and Effective Date Related to FASB Statement No. 161) “ASC 815”. ASC 815 applies to all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. ASC 815 requires entities to provide greater transparency about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments are related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, ASC 815 requires (1) qualitative disclosures about objectives for using derivatives by primary underlying risk exposure (e.g., interest rate, credit or foreign exchange rate) and by purpose or strategy (fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, net investment hedge, and non-hedges), (2) information about the volume of derivative activity in a flexible format that the preparer believes is the most relevant and practicable, (3) tabular disclosures about balance sheet location and gross fair value amounts of derivative instruments, income statement and other comprehensive income location of gain and loss amounts on derivative instruments by type of contract, and (4) disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. ASC 815 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 815 on January 1, 2009, had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165,Subsequent Events (ASC 855,Subsequent Events) “ASC 855”. ACS 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, ASC 855 provides (a) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; (b) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and (c) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The Company adopted ASC 855 in the second quarter of 2009. See Note A for additional information.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166,Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets(“SFAS No. 166”), which is a revision to SFAS No. 140. SFAS No. 166 requires more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions and a company’s continuing exposure to the risks related to the transfer of financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. SFAS No. 166 is effective for first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating SFAS No. 166 but does not expect that it will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No.168,FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (ASC 105,Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) “ASC 105”, which states that the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (Codification) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. ASC 105 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The codification is effective for these third quarter financial statements and the principal impact is limited to disclosures as all future references to authoritative literature will be reference in accordance with the codification.
On January 12, 2009, FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 99-20-1,Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20 (ASC 325-40-65-1,Transition Related to FSP EITF 99-20-1) “ASC 325”. ASC 325 addresses certain practice issues in EITF No. 99-20,Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, by making its other-than-temporary impairment assessment guidance consistent with SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. ASC 325 removes the reference to the consideration of a market participant’s estimates of cash flows in EITF 99-20, and instead requires an assessment of whether it is probable, based on current information and events, that the holder of the security will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. If it is probable that there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to exist, and a corresponding loss shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s carrying value and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008. The impact of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued the following three FSPs intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities:
FSP FAS 157-4,Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (ASC 820-10-65-4,Transition Related to FASB Staff Position FAS 157-4 ), provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have decreased significantly. This FSP also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The provisions of this FSP became effective for the Company’s interim period ending on June 30, 2009. The adoption of this FSP at June 30, 2009 did not have a material impact on the Company’s statement of operations and balance sheet.
FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (ASC 825-10-65-1,Transition Related to FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 ), requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies that were previously only required to be disclosed in annual financial statements. The provisions of this FSP are effective for the Company’s interim period ending on June 30, 2009 and only amends the disclosure requirements about fair value of financial instruments in interim periods. The Company adopted this FSP during the second quarter of 2009.
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (ASC 320-10-65-1,Transition Related to FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2), amends current other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The provisions of this FSP are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Early adoption for interim and annual periods ending after March 15, 2009 is permitted.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company elected to early adopt the provisions set forth, which resulted in an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the amount of $211,000 representing the portion of other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized for the year-ended December 31, 2008 that was not credit related. Additionally, the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 reduced the loss recognized in earnings on debt securities determined to be other-than-temporary impairment by $946,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This ASU provides amendments for fair value measurements of liabilities. It provides clarification that in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more techniques. ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that when estimating a fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance or fourth quarter 2009. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU 2009-05 on our financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed 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.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Statements in this Report and its exhibits relating to plans, strategies, economic performance and trends, projections of results of specific activities or investments, expectations or beliefs about future events or results, and other statements that are not descriptions of historical facts, may be forward-looking statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking information is inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors which include, but are not limited to, factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. Copies of those reports are available directly through the SEC’s Internet website atwww.sec.gov or through our Internet website atwww.midcarolinabank.com. Forward-looking statements may be identified by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “forecasts,” “potential” or “continue,” or similar terms or the negative of these terms, or other statements concerning opinions or judgments of our management about future events. Factors that could influence the accuracy of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, (a) pressures on the earnings, capital and liquidity of financial institutions resulting from current and future adverse conditions in the credit and capital markets and the banking industry in general,(b) the financial success or changing strategies of our customers, actions of government regulators, the level of market interest rates, and changes in general economic conditions and real estate values in our banking market (particularly changes that affect our loan portfolio, the abilities of our borrowers to repay their loans, and the values of loan collateral). Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they represent our management’s judgments only as of the date they are made, and we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. As a result, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this paragraph. We have no obligation, and do not intend, to update these forward-looking statements.
In response to the challenges facing the financial services sector, several regulatory and governmental actions have recently been announced:
The Bank is subject to insurance assessments imposed by the FDIC. Prior to January 1, 2007, FDIC assessments for deposit insurance ranged from 0 to 27 basis points per $100 of insured deposits, depending on the institution’s capital position and other supervisory factors. Effective January 1, 2009, the assessments range from 12 to 50 basis points per $100 of insured deposits. The assessment rate schedule can change from time to time, at the discretion of the FDIC, subject to certain limits. Under the current system, premiums are charged quarterly.
On April 1, 2009 the FDIC implemented changes to its the risk- based assessment system, and increased regular assessment rates for 2009, and imposed a special assessment of 5 basis points which banks must pay on top of the regular assessments. The 5 basis point special assessment was as of June 30, 2009, and was payable September 30, 2009. As a result of the special assessment and increased regular assessments the Company projects it will experience an increase in FDIC assessment by approximately $470,000 from 2008 to 2009. The 5 basis point special assessment represents $250,000 of this increase.
As a result of increasing demands the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund, resulting from the rising number of failures of insured institutions, it is possible that our expenses related to federal deposit insurance will continue to increase in the future.

Financial Condition at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008
During the nine-month period ending September 30, 2009, our total assets increased by $17.6 million to $558.5 million from $540.8 million at December 31, 2008. At September 30, 2009, loans totaled $441.5 million, an increase of $6.8 million, or 1.57%, for the nine months. Our loan portfolio experienced increases in real estate and commercial loans in the amount of $6.1 million and $2.5 million respectively. Consumer loans decreased by $1.8 million to $4.5 million. Federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits increased by $7.6 million, to $21.7 million.
Our total liquid assets, which include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits at Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Atlanta, investment securities available for sale and loans held for sale increased $9.2 million during the nine months, to $96.0 million or 17.19% of total assets at September 30, 2009 versus $86.9 million, or 16.05% of total assets, at December 31, 2008. At September 30, 2009, investment securities available for sale, totaled $71.5 million, an increase of $339,000, or 0.48% compared to December 31, 2008.
Deposits continue to be our primary funding source. At September 30, 2009, deposits totaled $481.9 million, an increase of $13.9 million, or 2.97%, from year-end 2008. Included in the deposit balances are $113.5 million of brokered certificates of deposit, a decrease of $10.0 million, or 8.08%, from year-end. We also utilize borrowings from the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) to support balance sheet management and growth. Borrowings from the FHLB remained unchanged with a balance of $25 million at September 30, 2009 and year-end 2008. We had no outstanding balances with the FRB at September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008.
Our capital position remains strong, with all of our regulatory capital ratios at levels that categorize us as “well capitalized” under federal bank regulatory capital guidelines. At September 30, 2009, our shareholders’ equity totaled $40.5 million, an increase of $3.3 million from the December 31, 2008 balance. The increase resulted primarily from net income available to common shareholders of $1.8 million and recognition of $293,000 in stock based compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Accumulated other comprehensive gain in the amount of $1.0 million resulted from the Company’s unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities portfolio and a $211,000 increase to retained earnings from the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 (ASC 320-10-65-1).

Comparison of Results of Operations for the
Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
Net Income. Our net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $842,000, a decrease of $297,000, or 26.08%, from net income available to common shareholders of $1.1 million for the same three-month period in 2008. Net income per diluted share of $0.17 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased $0.06 when compared to the prior period. We have experienced moderate balance sheet growth, with total assets averaging $552.0 million during the current three-month period compared to $515.7 million in the comparative prior year period, an increase of 7.03%. Our interest rate spread and net yield on average interest-earning assets increased 48 basis points and 31 basis points respectively. Net interest income increased $611,000, non-interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 increased in the amount of $366,000, the provision for loan losses increased $245,000, and non-interest expenses increased $896,000 as compared to the amounts of those expenses for the comparative period.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $611,000, or 15.50%, to $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Our total interest income benefited from growth in the level of average earning assets offset by a decrease in asset yields caused by decreases in interest rates charged on loans. The rates earned on a significant portion of our loans adjust immediately when index rates such as prime rate change. Conversely, most of our interest-bearing liabilities, including certificates of deposit and borrowings, have rates fixed until maturity. As a result, interest rate reductions will generally result in an immediate drop in our interest income on loans, with a more delayed impact on interest expense because reductions in interest costs will only occur upon renewals of certificates of deposit or fixed rate FHLB advances. Conversely, interest rate increases should result in an immediate increase in our interest income on loans, with a more delayed impact on interest expense because increases in interest costs will occur upon renewals of certificates of deposits or borrowings. Average interest-earning assets during the third quarter of 2009 increased $23.3 million, or 4.63%, as compared with the same period in 2008. Our average yield on total interest-earning assets decreased by 65 basis points from 5.28% to 5.93%. Our average total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $25.3 million, or 5.79%. Our average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 113 basis points from 3.24% to 2.11%. Our markets are extremely competitive for deposits. For the three months ended September 30, 2009, our net interest spread was 3.17% and our net interest margin was 3.43%. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, our net interest rate spread was 2.69% and our net interest margin was 3.12%.
Provision for Loan Losses. Based on the uncertainty of the local and national economy, trends in the level of delinquent and classified loans, the construction real estate loan portfolio as well as the overall growth of the loan portfolio, the Bank made a $950,000 provision for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 2009. A $705,000 provision was made for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 2008. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level deemed appropriate by management to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Loan charge-offs of $574,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 were offset by recoveries of previously charged-off loans of $9,000. At September 30, 2009, we had non-accrual loans in the amount of $2.2 million, representing 13 relationships. The allowance for loan losses increased $1.2 million from December 31, 2008, to $6.9 million, or 1.55% of total loans at September 30, 2009. At September 30, 2008, we had non-accrual loans in the amount of $2.6 million, while the allowance for loan losses increased $910,000 from December 31, 2007 to $5.4 million, or 1.28% of total loans at September 30, 2008. The Bank holds secured positions in these non-accrual loans. At December 31, 2008, the Bank had non-accrual loans in the amount of $3.1 million, while the allowance for loan losses stood at $5.6 million, or 1.29% of total loans.
- 26 -
Non-Interest Income. For the third quarter of 2009, non-interest income increased $103,000, or 15.70%, to $759,000 from $656,000 for the same period the prior year. Changes for the three months ended September 30, 2009 include a decrease of $85,000 in service charges and fees on deposits, an increase of $10,000 in gain on sale of investments, a decrease in cash value of life insurance of $41,000, an increase in mortgage brokerage activities of $52,000, an increase in income from brokerage services of $40,000, a decrease of $54,000 resulting from impairment on available for sale securities and an increase in all other non-interest income of $181,000.
Non-Interest Expense. For the third quarter of 2009, non-interest expense increased $896,000, or 44.03%, to $2.9 million from $2.0 million for the same period the prior year. Changes for the three months ended September 30, 2009 include a decrease of $98,000 in salaries and employee benefits, an increase of $122,000 due to the increase in lease expense from the relocation of our Green Valley office in Greensboro, NC, an increase in other outside service expense of $39,000, an increase of $38,000 in data processing expense, an increase in deposit and other insurance expense of $234,000 primarily related to increases in FDIC premiums, a decrease in professional and other services of $61,000, an increase of $608,000 in net losses on sale of foreclosed real estate, a decrease in advertising expense of $11,000 and an increase in all other non-interest expense of $11,000.
Provision for Income Taxes.Our provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes, was 32.4% and 33.1%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The decrease in the effective tax rate is attributable to lower pre-tax income and an increase in income from tax exempt sources in the current quarter compared to the prior period
Comparison of Results of Operations for the
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
Net Income. Our net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1.8 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 38.46%, from net income available to common shareholders of $2.9 million for the same nine-month period in 2008. Net income per diluted share of $0.36 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased $0.23 when compared to the prior period. We have experienced moderate balance sheet growth, with total assets averaging $547.9 million during the current nine-month period compared to $498.4 million in the comparative prior year period, an increase of 9.95%. Our interest rate spread and net yield on average interest-earning assets increased 42 basis points and 26 basis points respectively. Net interest income increased $2.0 million, non-interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased in the amount of $66,000, the provision for loan losses increased $1.7 million, and non-interest expenses increased $2.0 million as compared to the amount of thoses expenses for the comparative period.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $2.0 million, or 18.31%, to $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our total interest income benefited from growth in the level of average earning assets offset by a decrease in asset yields caused by decreases in interest rates charged on loans. The rates earned on a significant portion of our loans adjust immediately when index rates such as prime rate change. Conversely, most of our interest-bearing liabilities, including certificates of deposit and borrowings, have rates fixed until maturity. As a result, interest rate reductions will generally result in an immediate drop in our interest income on loans, with a more delayed impact on interest expense because reductions in interest costs will only occur upon renewals of certificates of deposit or fixed rate FHLB advances. Conversely, interest rate increases should result in an immediate increase in our interest income on loans, with a more delayed impact on interest expense because increases in interest costs will occur upon renewals of certificates of deposits or borrowings. Average interest-earning assets during the

first nine months of 2009 increased $42.0 million, or 8.71%, as compared with the same period in 2008. Our average yield on total interest-earning assets decreased by 90 basis points from 6.20% to 5.30%.
Our average total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $38.7 million, or 9.10%. Our average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 132 basis points from 3.67% to 2.35% resulting from declining interest rates. Our markets are extremely competitive for deposits. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our net interest spread was 2.95% and our net interest margin was 3.22%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our net interest rate spread was 2.53% and our net interest margin was 2.96%.
Provision for Loan Losses. Based on the uncertainty of the local and national economy, trends in the level of delinquent and classified loans and potential additional deterioration of the residential construction loan portfolio, as well as the over all growth of the loan portfolio, the Bank made a $2.9 million provision for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. A $1.2 million provision was made for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level deemed appropriate by management to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Loan charge-offs of $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were offset by recoveries of previously charged-off loans of $193,000. At September 30, 2009, we had non-accrual loans in the amount of $2.2 million representing 13 relationships. The allowance for loan losses increased $1.2 million from December 31, 2008, to $6.9 million, or 1.55% of total loans at September 30, 2009. At September 30, 2008, we had non-accrual loans in the amount of $2.6 million, while the allowance for loan losses increased $910,000 from December 31, 2007 to $5.6 million, or 1.29% of total loans at September 30, 2008. The Bank holds secured positions in these non-accrual loans. At December 31, 2008, the Bank had non-accrual loans in the amount of $3.1 million, while the allowance for loan losses stood at $5.6 million, or 1.29% of total loans.
Non-Interest Income. For the first nine months of 2009, non-interest income decreased $66,000, or 3.08%, to $2.077 million from $2.143 million for the same period the prior year. Changes for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 include a decrease of $168,000 in service charges and fees on deposits, an increase of $43,000 in gain on sale of investments available for sale, a decrease in cash value of life insurance of $49,000, an increase in mortgage brokerage activities of $78,000, a decrease in income from brokerage services of $26,000, impairment losses on investments of $130,000, impairment loss on a non-marketable investment of $126,000 and an increase in all other non-interest income of $186,000.
Non-Interest Expense. For the first nine months of 2009, non-interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 29.09%, to $8.9 million from $6.9 million for the same period the prior year. Changes for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 include an increase of $164,000 in salaries and employee benefits, most of which is attributable to stock option valuation expense, an increase in occupancy expense of $366,000 due to the increase in lease expense from the relocation of our Green Valley office in Greensboro, NC, an increase in other outside service expense of $48,000, an increase of $53,000 in data processing expense, an increase in deposit and other insurance expense of $519,000 primarily related to increases in FDIC premiums, an increase in professional and other services of $138,000 related to attorney fees incurred for working through non- performing loans and legal proceedings associated with an employment matter, an increase of $604,000 in net loss on sale of foreclosed real estate, an increase in advertising expense of $31,000 reflecting increased activity in advertising campaigns and an increase in all other non-interest expense of $65,000.
Provision for Income Taxes.Our provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes, was 29.26% and 32.98%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. The decrease in the effective tax rate is attributable to lower pre-tax income and an increase in income from tax exempt sources for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the prior period.

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.
Liquidity is defined as our ability to meet anticipated customer demands for funds under credit commitments and deposit withdrawals at a reasonable cost and on a timely basis. 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 from dealers and customers pursuant to securities sold under repurchase agreements; investments available for sale; loan repayments; loan sales; deposits; and borrowings from the FHLB and FRB and from correspondent banks under overnight federal funds credit lines. In addition to interest rate-sensitive deposits, the Bank’s primary demand for liquidity is anticipated fundings under credit commitments to customers as well as meeting the fluctuations of normal deposit withdrawals.
We have maintained an adequate position of liquidity in the form of cash, interest-earning bank deposits, federal funds sold, investment securities and loans held for sale. These aggregated $96.0 million at September 30, 2009 compared to $86.9 million at December 31, 2008. Supplementing customer deposits as a source of funding, we have the ability to borrow up to $165 million from the FHLB, subject to collateral constraints, with $25 million outstanding at September 30, 2009 and at December 31, 2008. All borrowings with FHLB must be adequately collateralized. We also have the ability to borrow up to $74.8 million from the FRB, subject to collateral constraints. We had no borrowings outstanding with the FRB at September 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008. We believe that our combined aggregate liquidity position is sufficient to meet the funding requirements of loan demand and deposit maturities and withdrawals in the near term.
At September 30, 2009, the Company’s average equity to average asset ratio was 6.76%, and all of the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the minimums established for a well-capitalized bank by regulatory measures. The Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio at September 30, 2009 was 11.55%.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We believe there has not been any significant change in the overall analysis of financial instruments considered market risk sensitive, as measured by the factors of contractual maturities, average interest rates and the difference between estimated fair values and book values, since the analysis prepared and presented in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
