Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BNC Bancorp (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Bank of North Carolina (the “Bank”).  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other relevant 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, 2010.  This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.  There have been no material changes or developments in the Company’s evaluation of accounting estimates and underlying assumptions or methodologies that the Company believes to be Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates since the December 31, 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of 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.  The accounting principles and methods for applying these principles conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practices followed by the banking industry.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior year financial information to the current period presentation.  These reclassifications had no material impact on the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unfunded lines of credit, and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company's risk of loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitment to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments under such instruments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management's evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, real estate and time deposits with financial institutions. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent cash requirements.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the outstanding off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent potential credit risk are as follows:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010
	(In thousands)
Commitments under unfunded loans and lines of credit	$	202,254	$	198,388
Letters of credit		13,365		23,716
Unused credit card lines		6,420		7,577
Commitments to sell loans held for sale		1,909		6,751

The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, there are no proceedings expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the company.  The Company has pending litigation as a result of the Beach First acquisition but any resulting losses are covered by the terms of the loss share indemnification agreement.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding during the reporting period.  Diluted earnings per common share is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock during the reporting period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares.  Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental shares issued for stock options, restricted stock awards and the warrants under the United States Treasury’s Capital Purchase Program (collectively referred to herein as “Stock Rights”).  Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share in the periods in which the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The weighted average numbers of shares outstanding or assumed to be outstanding for the periods ended June 30, are as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010

NOTE 4 - SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains various types of share-based compensation plans.  These plans have been approved by the Company’s shareholders.  Detailed descriptions of these plans were included in Note M of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The share-based awards granted under the aforementioned plans have similar characteristics, except that some awards have been granted in options and certain awards have been granted in restricted stock.  Therefore, the following disclosures have been disaggregated for the stock option and restricted stock awards of the plans due to their dissimilar characteristics.  The Company funds the option shares and restricted stock from authorized but unissued shares.

Stock Option Awards.  The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected life at the time of grant.  Volatility is based on the average volatility of the Company based upon previous trading history.  The expected life and forfeiture assumptions are based on historical data.  Dividend yield is based on the yield at the time of the option grant.  There were no options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

A summary of option activity under the stock option plans as of June 30, 2011 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2011 is presented below:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the amount of interest income recognized within the period that the loans were impaired were primarily related to loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring that remained on accrual status.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the amount of interest income recognized using a cash-basis method of accounting during the period that the loans were impaired was not material.  At June 30, 2010, the recorded investment in loans considered impaired totaled $79.1 million, which were primarily from the FDIC-assisted acquisition during the second quarter of 2010.  The amount of interest income recognized within the period that the loans were impaired was not material.

At June 30, 2011, troubled debt restructurings (“TDR’s”) totaled $39.9 million, of which $9.8 million is included in nonaccrual loans, and the remaining $30.1 million were not past due and performing to the restructured terms.  At December 31, 2010, TDR’s totaled $8.5 million, of which $3.4 million is included in nonaccrual loans, and the remaining $5.1 million were not past due and performing to the restructured terms.  Loan restructurings occur when a borrower is experiencing, or is expected to experience, financial difficulties in the near-term and a modification that would otherwise not be considered is granted to the borrower.  Performing loans considered TDR’s increased $25.0 million during the first six months of 2011, primarily from an increase of $5.6 million in commercial real estate loans and an increase of $9.6 million in residential A&D and construction loans that were renewed at extended amortization terms or interest-only terms deemed to be concessionary in the current economic environment.

Credit quality indicators

The Company uses several credit quality indicators to manage credit risk in an ongoing manner. The Company's primary credit quality indicators use an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans and leases into pass, special mention, or classified categories. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans and leases that have significant or unique credit characteristics that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. These are typically loans and leases to businesses or individuals in the classes which comprise the commercial portfolio segment. Groups of loans and leases that are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics are typically risk rated and monitored collectively. These are typically loans and leases to individuals in the classes which comprise the consumer portfolio segment.

Loans excluded from the scope of the annual review process above are generally classified as pass credits until: (a) they become past due; (b) management becomes aware of a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the borrower; or (c) the customer contacts the Company for a modification. In these circumstances, the loan is specifically evaluated for potential classification as special mention, substandard or even charged off. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful/Loss. Loans classified as doubtful/loss have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments primarily to hedge its exposure to changes in interest rates. All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. The Company does not use financial instruments or derivatives for any trading or other speculative purposes.

Risk Management Policies - Hedging Instruments

The primary focus of the Company’s asset/liability management program is to monitor the sensitivity of the Company’s net portfolio value and net income under varying interest rate scenarios to take steps to control its risks.  On a quarterly basis, the Company simulates the net portfolio value and net income expected to be earned over a twelve-month period following the date of simulation.  The simulation is based on a projection of market interest rates at varying levels and estimates the impact of such market rates on the levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during the measurement period.  Based upon the outcome of the simulation analysis, the Company considers the use of derivatives as a means of reducing the volatility of net portfolio value and projected net income within certain ranges of projected changes in interest rates.  The Company evaluates the effectiveness of entering into any derivative instrument agreement by measuring the cost of such an agreement in relation to the reduction in net portfolio value and net income volatility within an assumed range of interest rates.

The Company had previously entered into interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges to fix the interest rate received on certain variable rate loans.  These loans exposed the Company to variability in cash flows, primarily from interest receipts due to changes to interest rates.  During the six months ended June 30, 2011, all of the interest rate swaps had matured, with no fair value at June 30, 2011.  The change in fair value of these derivatives was a decrease of $6,000 and $255,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the $255,000 recorded at December 31, 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, no hedge ineffectiveness was recognized on these loan cash flow hedges.  The amount of net settlement gains recorded from the interest rate swaps totaled $6,000 and $631,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $244,000 and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Net settlement gains are included in loan interest income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company entered into a five-year interest rate derivative contract, with a notional amount of $250 million, to offset the effects of interest rate changes on an unsecured $250 million variable rate money market funding arrangement.  Under this cash flow hedge relationship, the Company has structured a synthetic cap, where the objective is to offset the effect of interest rate changes, whenever funding rates are higher than the strike rate of the synthetic cap.  During the third quarter of 2009, the Company paid $24.0 million to self-finance the transaction, thus securing a traditional interest rate cap.  From this modification, the Company will achieve significantly reduced funding costs.  Going forward, the amounts reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings are expected to be more than compensated for by the reduced variable rate funding costs, as the hedge only covers a portion of the Company’s variable interest rate exposure.  The fair value of this derivative was an asset of $3.3 million, which is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011.  The change in fair value of this derivative was a decrease of $3.1 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, when compared to the $5.8 million recorded at December 31, 2010.  The Company has recorded an $11.1 million loss, net of tax, as accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2011, and expects $7.0 million to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months.  In addition, ineffectiveness related to this hedge amounted to $1.0 million and $508,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $2.0 million and $550,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The ineffectiveness related to this hedge is included in interest expense on demand deposits in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Counterparty Credit Risk - By entering into derivative instrument contracts, the Company exposes itself, from time to time, to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is in an asset position, the counterparty has a liability to the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. The Company attempts to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting its exposure to any single counterparty and regularly monitoring its market position with each counterparty.

Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features - The Company’s derivative instrument does not contain any credit-risk related contingent features.

NOTE 8 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES

Goodwill and identified intangible assets, with indefinite lives, are subject to impairment testing annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment.  When appropriate, a projected cash flow valuation method is used in the completion of impairment testing. This valuation method requires a significant degree of management judgment. In the event the projected undiscounted net operating cash flows are less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by a valuation model.  A test for impairment was conducted as of June 30, 2011 and concluded that there was no goodwill impairment.  The carrying amount of goodwill and other intangible assets was $26.1 million and $2.1 million as of June 30, 2011, respectively, and $26.1 million and $2.3 million, as of December 31, 2010, respectively.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels of valuations are defined as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement, and require significant management judgment or estimation using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis.  The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a recurring basis and the following is a general description of the methods used to value such assets.

Investment Securities Available for Sale.  The fair values of investment securities available for sale are recorded at quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market 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 valuation 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 valuation securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 valuation include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities.  The values of derivative instruments held or issued by the Company for risk management purposes are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, the Company measures fair value using models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities, and include the value associated with counterparty credit risk. The Company classifies derivative instruments held or issued for risk management purposes as Level 2 valuation.

Below is a table that presents information about certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis. The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the following is a general description of the methods used to value such assets.

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 subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2 valuation.

Impaired Loans.  Fair values of impaired loans are generally 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.  Substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as Level 2 valuation. When current 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 impaired loan as Level 3 valuation.

Other Real Estate Owned.  Fair values of other real estate owned 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. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as Level 2 valuation. 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 Level 3 valuation.

Below is a table that presents information about certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

The fair values of securities held to maturity are recorded on a nonrecurring basis when an impairment in value that is deemed to be other than temporary occurs.  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.  At June 30, 2011, there were no fair value adjustments related to $6.0 million of securities held to maturity.

Goodwill and other intangible assets are subject to impairment testing. When appropriate, a projected cash flow valuation method is used in the completion of impairment testing. This valuation method requires a significant degree of management judgment. In the event the projected undiscounted net operating cash flows are less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation model. As such, the Company classifies goodwill and other intangible assets as Level 3 valuation.  At June 30, 2011, there were no fair value adjustments related to $26.1 million of goodwill and $2.1 million of other intangible assets.

NOTE 10 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Estimated fair values of financial instruments have been estimated by the Company using the provisions of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments “ASC 825”, which requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.

Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments.  ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments:

BNC BANCORP

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

   

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate the fair value of those assets.

Investment Securities Available for Sale and Investment Securities Held to Maturity - Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - The fair value for FHLB stock is its carrying value, since this is the amount for which it could be redeemed. There is no active market for this stock and the Company, in order to be a member of the FHLB, is required to maintain a minimum investment.

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 Receivable - The fair values for fixed rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit ratings for the same remaining maturities, adjusted for the allowance for loan losses.

FDIC Indemnification Asset - The fair value for the FDIC indemnification asset is estimated based on discounted future cash flows using current discount rates.

Investment in Bank-Owned 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.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable - The carrying amount of accrued interest is assumed to approximate fair value.

Deposits - The fair values disclosed for deposits with no stated maturity (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for deposits with a stated maturity date (time deposits) are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on these accounts to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt - Rates currently available to the Company for borrowings and debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of the existing debt.

Derivative Financial Instruments - Fair values for derivatives are based on values from third parties typically determined using widely accepted discounted cash flow models or Level 2 measurements.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk - The fair value of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk discussed in Note 2 is not material.

NOTE 11 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (”FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-01, Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20 (“ASU 2011-01”).  The amendments in ASU 2011-01 defer the effective date of the disclosures regarding troubled debt restructurings in ASU No. 2010-20 for public entities.  The effective date is for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2011.  As the provisions of this ASU only defer the effective date of disclosure requirements related to troubled debt restructurings, the adoption of this ASU will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“ASU No. 2011-02”).  ASU No. 2011-02 provides additional guidance to clarify when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) in order to address current diversity in practice and lead to more consistent application of U.S. GAAP for debt restructurings.  In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist:  (1) the restructuring constitutes a concession, and (2) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  A provision in ASU No. 2011-02 also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as required by ASU No. 2010-20.  The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 are effective for the Company’s reporting period ending September 30, 2011.  The adoption of ASU No. 2011-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements (“ASU 2011-03”).   ASU 2011-03 modifies the criteria for determining when repurchase agreements would be accounted for as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale.  Currently, an entity that maintains effective control over transferred financial assets must account for the transfer as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale.  The provisions of ASU 2011-03 remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee.  The FASB believes that contractual rights and obligations determine effective control and that there does not need to be a requirement to assess the ability to exercise those rights.  ASU 2011-03 does not change the other existing criteria used in the assessment of effective control.  The provisions of ASU 2011-03 are effective prospectively for transactions, or modifications of existing transactions, that occur on or after January 1, 2012.  As the Company accounts for all of its repurchase agreements as collateralized financing arrangements, the adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  The changes to U.S. GAAP as a result of ASU 2011-04 are as follows:  (1) The concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise are only relevant when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets (that is, it does not apply to financial assets or any liabilities); (2) U.S. GAAP currently prohibits application of a blockage factor in valuing financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets.  ASU 2011-04 extends that prohibition to all fair value measurements; (3) An exception is provided to the basic fair value measurement principles for an entity that holds a group of financial assets and financial liabilities with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk that are managed on the basis of the entity’s net exposure to either of those risks.  This exception allows the entity, if certain criteria are met, to measure the fair value of the net asset or liability position in a manner consistent with how market participants would price the net risk position; (4) Aligns the fair value measurement of instruments classified within an entity’s shareholders’ equity with the guidance for liabilities; and (5) Disclosure requirements have been enhanced for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements to disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs and assumptions used, to describe the valuation processes used by the entity, and to describe the sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those inputs.  In addition, entities must report the level in the fair value hierarchy of items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of condition but whose fair value must be disclosed.  The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”)The provisions of ASU 2011-05 allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income.  The statement(s) are required to be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements.  ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity but does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with retrospective application required.  The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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.

Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to assist readers in understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Overview and Executive Summary

BNC Bancorp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company for Bank of North Carolina (the “Bank”), its wholly owned banking subsidiary.  We also maintain four wholly-owned special-purpose subsidiary trusts that issue trust preferred securities.  The information in the consolidated financial statements relates primarily to the Bank.  We are subject to the rules and regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  The Bank is operating under the banking laws of North Carolina, and is subject to the rules and regulations of the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).  Accordingly, the Company and the Bank are examined periodically by those regulatory authorities.

The Bank provides a wide range of banking services tailored to the particular banking needs of the communities it serves in North Carolina and coastal South Carolina.  It is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using those deposits, together with other funding from the Bank’s lines of credit, to primarily make consumer and commercial loans.  The Bank has pursued a strategy that emphasizes its local affiliations.  This business strategy stresses the provision of high quality banking services to individuals and small to medium-sized local businesses. Specifically, the Bank makes business loans secured by real estate, personal property and accounts receivable loans; unsecured business loans; consumer loans, which are secured by consumer products, such as automobiles and boats; unsecured consumer loans; commercial real estate loans; and residential mortgage loans.  The Bank also offers a wide range of banking services, including checking and savings accounts, commercial, installment and personal loans, safe deposit boxes, and other associated services.  The Company has recruited and developed a private banking group that is working closely with our retail, business services and wealth management area to provide a concierge-type service level for higher need banking relationships.  The Bank's primary source of revenue is derived from loans to customers, who are predominantly individuals and small to medium size businesses through its 24 full-service banking offices in North and South Carolina.

Due to unprecedented asset quality challenges and the prolonged economic downturn, the U.S. banking industry has been experiencing serious financial challenges.  During this time of crisis, we began preparing to benefit from growth opportunities, both organically and through acquisition.  We were fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in the FDIC-assisted acquisition of Beach First National Bank (“Beach First”), headquartered in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, which enabled us to significantly increase our franchise.  Myrtle Beach and the surrounding beach communities are attractive markets with strong demographics, a vibrant retail economy, and a growing core deposit base.  During the first six months of 2011, with the impact of the economic slowdown ongoing, management has continued to focus on managing credit quality, maintaining adequate liquidity sources and managing the capital of the Company.  We continue our on-going efforts of meeting the financial services needs of our customers and communities, especially in this challenging economic environment.  We are committed to building long-term value for our shareholders, and in the changing regulatory and economic landscape, core deposit growth will be an even more critical element for finding successful and profitable growth initiatives.  We have a retail banking team that oversees product development, sales, training, accountability and consistency, and quality of delivery in each of our offices in our banking regions.  During the first six months of 2011, we developed a more robust and scalable mortgage platform and an SBA loan origination department, both with quality leadership.  We are confident that these new areas for the Company will contribute significantly in the third quarter and beyond to enhance and diversify our non-interest income sources.

Our senior management continues to work closely with credit administration, third-party credit review specialists, and lending staff to insure that adequate resources are in place to proactively manage through the current slowdown in the real estate markets and overall economy.  When a problem is identified, management remains diligent in assessing the situation and moving quickly to minimize losses, while being sensitive to the borrower’s effectiveness as an operator, the long-term viability of the business or project, and the borrower’s commitment to working with the Bank to achieve an acceptable resolution of the credit.  Weaknesses in residential and commercial development and high unemployment levels in our market areas resulted in continued elevated charge-offs during the first six months of 2011 when compared to the first six months of 2010.

Results of Operations

Our net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $992,000, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $917,000, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $11.2 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010.  The annualized return on average assets was 0.30% for the second quarter of 2011, compared to 0.29% for the first quarter of 2011 and to 2.23% for the second quarter of 2010.  The second quarter of 2010 includes $11.8 million after-tax gains from a FDIC assisted acquisition.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net income available to common shareholders was $1.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $12.1 million, or $1.59 per diluted share reported for the same period in 2010.  As noted above, the 2010 results include the one-time gain from the FDIC assisted transaction.

Total assets at June 30, 2011 decreased $15.2 million, or 0.7% compared to June 30, 2010.  Period-end loans increased $59.4 million, or 4.0%, from the same prior year period.  Period-end deposits increased $16.0 million, or 0.9% from June 30, 2010.  When compared to December 31, 2010, total assets decreased $3.2 million, period-end loans increased $20.4 million and period-end deposits increased $22.5 million.  We remain well-capitalized with total equity of $157.6 million at June 30, 2011, a decrease of $6.6 million, or 4.0% from June 30, 2010, and an increase of $5.3 million, or 3.5% from December 31, 2010.

Net Interest Income

Like most financial institutions, our primary component of earnings is net interest income.  Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loan and investment securities portfolios, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and borrowings.  For internal analytical purposes, management adjusts net interest income to a “fully taxable-equivalent” basis (“(FTE)”) using a 34% federal tax rate on tax exempt items.  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 and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as levels of non-interest bearing liabilities.

-31-

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2011 was $16.8 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 7.5%, from the comparable period last year, and an increase of $88,000 from the prior quarter.  Net interest income (FTE) was $18.1 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $16.9 million and $18.2 million for the second quarter of 2010 and first quarter of 2011, respectively.  The net interest margin (FTE) increased 22 basis points from the second quarter of 2010 to 3.84%.  Compared to the first quarter of 2011, net interest margin (FTE) decreased 3 basis points from 3.87%.

The Company’s average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 4 basis points while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 26 basis points from the second quarter of 2010.  Compared to the first quarter of 2011, the Company’s yield on average interest-earning assets decreased by 11 basis points, while the yield on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 8 basis points.  

Average loans as a percentage of interest-earning assets increased to 81.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 75.9% for the prior year quarter.  In addition, the improvement in net interest margin (FTE) was primarily due to the reduction in the average rates for outstanding time deposits.  See the interest rate/volume table below for the individual component changes.

Total interest income (FTE) decreased $10,000 for the second quarter of 2011 when compared to the same quarter of 2010.  The increase of $573,000 in interest income (FTE) from loans was primarily offset by the $560,000 reduction in interest income (FTE) from investment securities.  During the second quarter of 2011, average loans increased $108.8 million while average investment securities decreased $38.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2010.  The changes were due to growth of the loan portfolio.

Total interest expense decreased $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2011 when compared to the same quarter of 2010.  Rates paid on time deposits decreased by 31 basis points, while average time deposits decreased by $101.7 million.  The decrease in time deposits was due to the shift in our deposit mix, with average demand deposits increasing $120.0 million at 9 basis points lower than the same prior year period.  Interest expense on borrowings decreased by $180,000 due to the average borrowings decreasing by $39.0 million decreasing during the period.

The Company’s average yield on interest-earning assets increased 2 basis points for the first six months of 2011 while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 30 basis points from the first six months of 2010.  

Average loans as a percentage of interest-earning assets increased to 80.3% for the first six months of 2011 compared to 74.3% for the same prior year period.  In addition, the improvement in net interest margin (FTE) was primarily due to the reduction in the average rates for outstanding time deposits.  See the interest rate/volume table below for the individual component changes.

Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management.  In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers factors that include growth, composition and industry diversification of the portfolio, historical loan loss experience, current delinquency levels, adverse situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and other relevant factors.  We recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to a provision for loan losses of $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $6.5 million compared to a provision for loan losses of $8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The level of our allowance for loan losses expressed as a percentage of total loans increased from 1.30% at June 30, 2010 to 1.53% at June 30, 2011, and as a percent of total loans not covered by loss sharing agreements, the level increased from 1.69% at June 30, 2010 to 1.88% at June 30, 2011.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Asset Quality

At June 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $23.4 million, or 1.88% of loans not covered by loss share agreements, compared to $24.8 million, or 2.07% at December 31, 2010, and $19.0 million, or 1.69%, at June 30, 2010.  When compared to December 31, 2010, the decrease in the allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio for non-covered loans was primarily due to several fully or partially reserved loans being charged-off during the first six months of 2011.  When compared to June 30, 2010, the increase in allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio for non-covered loans was primarily due to deterioration in credit quality within the non-covered commercial loans portfolio.

The amount of the allowance for loan losses equals the cumulative total of the provision for loan losses, reduced by actual loan charge-offs, and increased by recoveries of loans previously charged-off.  A specific loan is charged-off when management believes, after considering, among other things, the borrower’s financial condition and the value of any collateral, that collection of the loan is unlikely.  Provisions are made to the allowance to reflect incurred losses associated with the loan portfolio.  Adjustments to the allowance are necessary to fund the reserve at a level dictated by the Company’s reserving methodologies.  Management utilizes quantitative methodologies and modeling to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  A detailed description of our methodology was included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Management believes the June 30, 2011 allowance level is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

While management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate based on information currently available, future additions to the allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions or management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the Company’s loan losses and loan loss reserve methodology and there can be no assurances that the regulatory agencies will not require management to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about all relevant information utilized in the methodologies.

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and OREO.  At June 30, 2011, nonperforming assets not covered by loss share agreements were $56.1 million, or 3.05% of total assets, compared to $50.2 million, or 2.75% of total assets at December 31, 2010 and $31.8 million, or 1.76% of total assets at June 30, 2010.  Nonperforming assets, including assets covered under loss share agreements, were $141.7 million, or 6.60% of total assets at June 30, 2011, compared to $135.3 million, or 6.29% at December 31, 2010 and $111.2 million, or 5.14% of total assets at June 30, 2010.  For those nonperforming assets covered by loss share agreements, we are provided with significant loss protection from the FDIC.

Nonaccrual loans not covered by loss share agreements were $31.8 million at June 30, 2011, an increase of $5.6 million from December 31, 2010 and an increase of $21.7 million from June 30, 2010.  Nonaccrual loans, including covered loans, were $94.1 million at June 30, 2011.  At June 30, 2011, OREO increased to $47.6 million, an increase of $7.9 million from December 31, 2010 and an increase of $18.6 million from June 30, 2010.  The increase from June 30, 2010 when compared to June 30, 2011 was due to the higher levels of OREO resulting from the Beach First acquisition that are covered by loss share agreements.  At June 30, 2011, our OREO properties primarily consisted of $19.8 million of commercial properties, $16.2 million of residential 1-4 family properties and $10.8 million in construction, land and land development properties.  OREO assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimating selling costs using current appraisals and/or valuations.  The Company is actively marketing all of its OREO properties.

The Company places loans on nonaccrual status when it is probable that the future collectability of the loan balance and collections of interest are in doubt.  Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment within an acceptable period of time and there is a sustained period of repayment performance by the borrower.

At June 30, 2011, loans that were restructured or modified and were not past due and performing to the restructured terms totaled $30.0 million, an increase of $24.9 million from December 31, 2010 and an increase of $24.3 million from June 30, 2010.  The significant increase during the first six months of 2011 was primarily due to $18.1 million in performing A&D and construction loans being renewed at extended amortization terms or interest-only terms deemed to be concessionary in the current economic environment.

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2011 were $4.0 million, as compared with net charge-offs of $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2010.  Expressed as an annualized percentage of average loans outstanding, net charge-offs were 1.04% and 1.23% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Net charge-offs for the first six months of 2011 were $8.0 million, as compared with net charge-offs of $7.2 million for the first six months of 2010.  Expressed as an annualized percentage of average loans outstanding, net charge-offs were 1.06% and 1.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The majority of the charge-offs are from our commercial loan portfolios.  During 2011, pass rated credits continue to rise as a percentage of the portfolio as watch and special mention credits have decreased significantly.  There continues to be elevated unemployment levels in several of our local markets.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $21.7 million for the same quarter in 2010.Included in non-interest income for the second quarter of 2010 was $19.3 million of gain on acquisition from a FDIC assisted transaction.  Excluding the acquisition gain and gains on sales of investment securities, non-interest income was $2.3 million for the current quarter, up 25.8% from the $1.8 million reported for the second quarter of 2010.  For the first six months of 2011, non-interest income was $4.8 million compared to $23.1 million for the same period in 2010.  Included in non-interest income for the first six months of 2010 was $19.3 million of gain on acquisition from a FDIC assisted transaction.

Mortgage fees generated from our mortgage market operations in the second quarter of 2011 decreased $51,000, or 17.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2010.  During the second quarter of 2011, the Company’s original mortgage origination platform was terminated and replaced with a more robust platform that is expected to drive mortgage origination volume and fee income significantly higher starting in the third quarter of 2011.  For the first six months of 2011, mortgage fees increased $54,000, or 9.8%, compared to the first six months of 2010.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $107,000, or 14.1%, in the second quarter of 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2010 primarily as a result of the growth our Company has experienced.  Our overall growth in volume of the related service charges was partially offset by lower overdraft and NSF fees due to new Federal Reserve Board’s consumer protection regulations.  For the first six months of 2011, service charges on deposit accounts increased $279,000, or 19.7%, compared to the first six months of 2010, primarily as a result of the above mentioned growth and from our April 2010 acquisition.

Investment brokerage fees increased $164,000 in the second quarter of 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2010 and increased $317,000 compared to the first six months of 2010, primarily as a result of winding down the original investment platform during the first quarter 2010 and having the new investment platform in operations during 2011.

Earnings on bank-owned life insurance increased by $192,000, or 84.2%, for the second quarter of 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2010 and increased $371,000, or 78.3% for the first six months of 2011, compared to the first six months of 2010, due to the additional purchase of $18.0 million of bank owned life insurance during December 2010.

Other non-interest income increased $58,000 in the second quarter of 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2010.  For the first six months of 2011, other non-interest income increased $472,000 compared to the first six months of 2010, primarily from income associated with FDIC related settlement receipts.

Non-Interest Expense

The Company strives to maintain levels of non-interest expense that management believes are appropriate given the nature of its operations and the investments in personnel and facilities that have been necessary to generate growth.  One of the keys to the momentum the Company has experienced has been the continuous investment in the core banking franchise, both in people and locations.  As the Company strives to maintain momentum in its growth and strategy, it will incur costs associated with investments in people, facilities and technology that are anticipated to benefit the shareholders as these investments reach their potential.

Non-interest expenses for the second quarter of 2011 increased $1.3 million, or 9.5%, compared to the same quarter of 2010.    For the first six months of 2011, non-interest expense increased $7.1 million, or 31.7%, compared to the first six months of 2010.  The higher level of non-interest expenses was primarily due to the additional operating expenses from our continued growth, both in organic growth and from our prior year acquisition.

As a result of the acquisition and continued growth of the legacy bank, personnel costs have increased $1.3 million, or 21.4%, in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same quarter of 2010.  For the first six months of 2011, personnel costs increased $3.8 million, or 34.1%, compared to the first six months of 2010.  Our overall growth of our franchise has increased our headcount, including strategic additions to our senior management team.  During 2011, we will continue to invest in our infrastructure for strategic initiatives, new offices and franchise growth.

Occupancy and furniture/equipment expenditures increased by $43,000, or 2.9%, for the second quarter of 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2010.  For the first six months of 2011, occupancy and furniture/equipment expenditures increased $724,000, or 30.7%, compared to the first six months of 2010, primarily due to increased costs and additional facilities associated with our growth into new markets and from our acquisition of Beach First during the second quarter of 2010.  The increase in the number of locations has also escalated utilities, lease expenses, and property taxes in 2011.

Professional and other service fees decreased $684,000, or 43.9%, for the second quarter of 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2010.  For the first six months of 2011, professional and other service fees decreased $329,000, or 15.0%, compared to the first six months of 2010, mostly due to increased fees during 2010 associated with the acquisition of Beach First.

Loan, foreclosure and collection expenses have increased $746,000 for the second quarter of 2011, compared to the second quarter of 2010.  For the first six months of 2011, loan, foreclosure and collection expenses increased $2.3 million compared to first six months of 2010.  The higher level of loan, foreclosure and collection expense primarily relates to the write-down of OREO properties and the on-going expenses relating to these properties.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of other real estate valuation adjustments.  Included in the six month period was $2.5 million of other real estate valuation adjustments on covered assets from the Beach First acquisition, with a corresponding increase in the Company’s FDIC indemnification asset given that these losses are 80% insured, which resulted in a net expense of $500,000.

Income Taxes

The Company generates significant amounts of non-taxable income from tax-exempt investment securities and from investments in bank-owned life insurance.  Accordingly, the level of such income in relation to income before taxes significantly affects our effective tax rate.  A tax benefit is recorded if non-taxable income exceeds income before taxes, resulting in a reduction of total income subject to income taxes.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we recorded an income tax benefit of $381,000 compared to income tax expense of $6.0 million for the same period in 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded an income tax benefit of $1.0 million compared to income tax expense of $5.6 million for the same period in 2010.  The significant income tax expense for 2010 was related to the income tax on the acquisition gain reported during the second quarter of 2010.

Preferred Stock Dividend and Accretion

For the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, dividends on preferred stock and accretion amounted to $601,000 and $502,000, respectively.  For the six months ending June 30, 2011 and 2010, dividends on preferred stock and accretion amounted to $1.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively.  The increase is associated with the preferred stock dividend paid on the Series B Preferred Stock that was issued during the second quarter of 2010.  The remaining amounts were associated with the Series A Preferred Stock that was issued to the United States Treasury in December 2008, in connection with our participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program.  

Balance Sheet Analysis

Total assets at June 30, 2011 were $2.15 billion, a decrease of $3.2 million when compared to total assets at December 31, 2010.  Total earning assets, which are comprised of interest-earning balances at banks, investment securities, loans held for sale and loans, were $1.90 billion at June 30, 2011 and $1.91 billion at December 31, 2010.  Earning assets serve as the primary revenue sources for the Company.  Total liquid assets, which include cash and cash equivalents and securities available for sale at June 30, 2011 were 17.0% of total assets, or $363.9 million, a $19.1 million decrease from the $383.0 million reported at December 31, 2010.

Investment Securities

Investment securities were $339.4 million at June 30, 2011 and $358.9 million at December 31, 2010.  The decrease of $19.5 million was used to fund our loan growth.  The majority of securities in the portfolio are bank-qualified municipal government securities and mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies.  The Company also maintains portfolios of securities consisting of CMOs issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies.  The Company’s investment portfolios are high quality securities that are designed to enhance liquidity while providing acceptable rates of return.

-39-

Loans

Loans increased by $20.4 million to $1.53 billion at June 30, 2011 from $1.51 billion at December 31, 2010.  For the first six months of 2011, average total loans were $1.52 billion, compared to $1.25 billion for the first six months of 2010.  The majority of this increase resulted from the acquisition of Beach First in the second quarter of 2010.  At June 30, 2011, loans covered under loss share agreements amounted to $283.7 million.  Excluding loans covered under loss share agreements, the mix and stratification within certain classifications of the Company’s loan portfolio has changed when compared to the loan portfolio composition at December 31, 2010.  The Company’s construction, land, and acquisition & development (“A&D”) portfolios were reduced from $200.0 million at December 31, 2010 to $196.9 million at June 30, 2011.  Residential and commercial A&D exposure and residential construction exposure were reduced by $5.1 million during the first six months of 2011.  The Company will continue its efforts to divest A&D exposures as needed and deemed appropriate by management.  The Company’s commercial real estate portfolio increased from $557.6 million at December 31, 2010 to $605.8 million at June 30, 2011, with increases of $38.7 million in our investment commercial real estate portfolio.

Deposits

Deposits continue to be our primary funding source.  At June 30, 2011, deposits totaled $1.85 billion, an increase of $22.5 million, or 1.2%, from year-end 2010.  While overall deposit growth continues to be an emphasis, the more important element is the increase in transactional account deposits.  Over the one-year period, transactional accounts, which are comprised of non-interest bearing and interest-bearing demand accounts, increased $120.8 million, while time deposits decreased $104.8 million.  At June 30, 2011, time deposits were 47.9% of total deposits, compared to 54.0% and 48.4% at June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2011, respectively.  As a percentage of total deposits, wholesale time deposits currently comprise only 21.1% of total deposits, a decrease from 23.1% at June 30, 2010 and an increase from 19.7% at December 31, 2010.

Borrowings

While we continue to utilize borrowings to support balance sheet management and growth, during the six months ended June 30, 2011 we repaid $28.1 million of borrowings, primarily from the increase in our deposits during the period.  Short-term borrowings decreased from $60.2 million at December 31, 2010 to $36.1 million at June 30, 2011.  Short-term borrowings consist of FHLB term advances with remaining maturities of less than one year, Federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, securities sold under repurchase agreements and an unsecured revolving line of credit.  At June 30, 2011, long-term debt outstanding totaled $93.7 million, compared to $97.7 million outstanding at year-end 2010.  Long-term debt at June 30, 2011 consisted of $62.0 million of FHLB advances, and $31.7 million of subordinated debt, of which $23.7 million has been issued through the Company’s trust subsidiaries.

Shareholders’ Equity

Our capital position remains above all regulatory thresholds to be considered well capitalized.  At June 30, 2011, shareholders’ equity totaled $157.6 million, an increase of $5.3 million from the December 31, 2010 balance.  The primary changes in shareholders’ equity were an increase in net income for the six-month period in the amount of $3.1 million, a net increase in the unrealized gains on securities available for sale and cash flow hedging activities in the amount of $3.8 million, a decrease of $905,000 for cash dividends paid to common shareholders and $962,000 of preferred stock dividends and accretion.  At June 30, 2011, the Bank and the Company were considered “well capitalized” as such terms are defined in applicable regulations.

Liquidity

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, pay operating expenses and meet regulatory liquidity requirements.  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.

-40-

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, both from our local markets and the wholesale markets; borrowings from the FHLB and Federal Reserve discount window; and borrowings from correspondent banks under unsecured overnight federal funds credit lines and secured lines of credit. In addition to interest rate-sensitive deposits, the Bank’s primary demand for liquidity is anticipated funding under credit commitments to customers.

Our liquidity position aggregated $363.9 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $383.0 million at December 31, 2010.  Supplementing customer deposits as a source of funding, we have the ability to borrow up to $200 million from the FHLB of Atlanta, with $80.5 million outstanding at June 30, 2011.  We also have the ability to borrow from the Federal Reserve Discount Window in the amount of $110 million, with no outstanding balances.  These amounts are based on assets currently pledged.  In addition to the above, we have $183 million of investment securities that are available to be pledged that are unencumbered and a significant amount of loans that are available to be pledged that are unencumbered.  We also have an unsecured revolving line of credit of up to $25.0 million, with $6.3 million outstanding.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants associated with its unsecured revolving line of credit as of June 30, 2011.

In addition to these liquidity sources, we have access to unsecured lines of credit from correspondent banks for short-term liquidity needs totaling $47 million, and the Promontory Interfinancial Network weekly funds auctions where we have another $269 million in availability.  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.

Contractual Obligations

The Company’s contractual obligations were scheduled in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The most significant obligations, other than obligations under deposit and borrowings, were for operating leases for banking facilities.  Other than the contractual obligations associated with the Beach First acquisition, there have been no material changes since year-end.

Capital Resources

The Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can cause certain mandatory and discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative and qualitative measures.  These measures were established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy.  As of June 30, 2011, the Company and the Bank were “well capitalized” under this regulatory framework.  There have been no conditions or events since June 30, 2011 that management believes have changed either the Company’s or the Bank’s capital classifications.

At June 30, 2011, the Tier I risk-based capital ratio for the Bank was 11.13%, the total risk-based capital ratio was 12.82% and all other capital ratios exceeded the minimum thresholds established for a well-capitalized bank by regulatory measures.  At June 30, 2011, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 12.42%, thus classifying the Company as “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As described in more detail in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, asset/liability management involves the evaluation, monitoring and management of interest rate risk, liquidity and funding. While the Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the Company’s asset/liability management policies, the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee monitors loan, investment, and liability portfolios to ensure comprehensive management of interest rate risk and adherence to the Bank’s policies. The Company has not experienced any material change in the risk of its portfolios of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011.
