Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Organization—Bank of the Carolinas Corporation (“the Company”) is a North Carolina-chartered bank holding company that was incorporated on May 30, 2006, for the sole purpose of serving as the parent bank holding company for Bank of the Carolinas (“the Bank”). The Bank is a FDIC-insured, North Carolina-chartered bank that began operations on December 7, 1998.
	Because the Company has no significant operations and conducts no business on its own other than owning the Bank, the discussion contained in these footnotes concerns primarily the business of the Bank. However, for ease of reading and because the financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, the Company and its subsidiary are collectively referred to herein as the “Company” unless otherwise noted.
	The accounting and reporting policies of the Company follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies.
	Business—The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses through its retail offices. Its primary deposit products are demand deposits and time certificate accounts and its primary lending products are consumer, commercial, and mortgage loans. The Company does not have significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.
	Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of other real estate owned, and fair values of financial instruments.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet captions “cash and due from banks, noninterest-bearing,” and “interest-bearing deposits in banks.” At times, the Company places deposits with high credit quality financial institutions in amounts which may be in excess of federally insured limits.
	Investment Securities—Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value and held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. The unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale are reported, net of related income tax effects, as accumulated other comprehensive income unless a valuation reserve has been established. Changes in unrealized holding gains or losses are included as a component of other comprehensive income until realized. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in income as realized losses. Gains or losses on sales of securities available for sale are based on the specific identification method.
	The Company evaluates securities for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. The Company also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.
	Loans Receivable—The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is invested within the central North Carolina region. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.
	Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for the allowance for loan losses, loans in process, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan using the interest method.
	The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. All interest accrued, but not collected, for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
	Allowance for Loan Losses—The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
	The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
	A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
	Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.
	Premises and Equipment—Land is carried at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the lesser of estimated useful lives of the assets or lease terms ranging from 3 to 40 years. The cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while expenditures that materially increase the useful lives of property are capitalized.
	Federal Home Loan Bank Stock—Investment in stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank is required by law of every member. The investment is carried at cost since redemptions of this stock have historically been at par. No ready market exists for the stock, and it has no quoted market value. The stock is presented in other assets. Due to the redemption provisions of the FHLB, the Bank estimates carrying value equals fair value and that it was not impaired at December 31, 2014. The stock had a carrying value of $383,900 and $524,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and is reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
	Other Real Estate Owned—Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and initially recorded at the fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management, and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Expenses associated with maintaining these properties are included in other non-interest expense. The provision for real estate losses is also included in other non-interest expense. Realized gains and losses on disposal of real estate are included in other non-interest expense. Foreclosed assets are presented in other real estate owned. As of December 31, 2014, the Company held a variety of properties in other real estate owned, including 1-4 family residential real estate and commercial real estate. These properties are generally held within the Company’s market area.
	Income Taxes—Deferred tax liabilities and assets are established for future tax return effects of the temporary differences between the stated value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. The focus is on accruing the appropriate balance sheet deferred tax amount, with the statement of income effect being the result of the changes in the balance sheet amounts from period to period.
	An evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits of deferred tax assets is made. A valuation allowance is provided for the deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
	The Company’s policy is to report interest and penalties, if any, in tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company and its subsidiary each reflect the tax expense or benefit associated with the results of their individual operating results. Due to prior IRS audits of 2008 and 2009, only the Company’s 2010 through 2014 federal and state income tax returns are open and subject to examination.
	Earnings Per Share—Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and warrants, and are determined using the treasury stock method.
	Net income (loss) per share have been computed based on the following:
		Years Ended December 31,
		2014		2013			2012
		(in thousands except for share data)
	Net income (loss) available to common stockholders	$	10,405	$	(2,333	)	$	(5,535	)
	Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		216,017,691		3,895,840			3,895,840
	Weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding		216,017,691		3,895,840			3,895,840
	Earnings (Loss) per common share:
	Basic	$	0.05	$	(0.60	)	$	(1.42	)
	Diluted	$	0.05	$	(0.60	)	$	(1.42	)
	The Company had 4,500; 497,205; and 497,205 stock options and warrants that were considered anti-dilutive as the average market price for the shares was less than the exercise price for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
	Stock Compensation Plans—The Company under generally accepted accounting principles accounts for stock option expense using the modified prospective method. The Company records expense throughout the options’ vesting period.
	Advertising Expense—The Company’s policy is to expense advertising cost as incurred.
	Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenues, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income (loss). Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section in the balance sheet, such items, along with net income (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss).
	Reclassifications—In certain instances, amounts reported in prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, stockholders’ equity or net loss.
	New Accounting Pronouncements—In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860). The amendments in this ASU require that repurchase-to-maturity transactions be accounted for as secured borrowings consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. In addition, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty (a repurchase financing), which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. The amendments require an entity to disclose information about transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements, in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. In addition the amendments require disclosure of the types of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions and the tenor of those transactions. This ASU is effective for first interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company will evaluate the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU was developed as a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board to remove inconsistencies in revenue requirements and provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues. The ASU’s core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The ASU may be adopted using either a modified retrospective method or a full retrospective method and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40). The amendments in this Update clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740). An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. For example, an entity should not evaluate whether the deferred tax asset expires before the statute of limitations on the tax position or whether the deferred tax asset may be used prior to the unrecognized tax benefit being settled. The amendments in this Update do not require new recurring disclosures. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

	Management of the Bank believes all unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2014 represent temporary impairments related to market fluctuations. The unrealized losses on our securities are a nominal portion of the total value of the portfolio. The Bank has no intention of selling these securities before their maturity and has the appropriate sources of liquidity to hold these securities until maturity. The Bank believes that the unrealized losses are primarily the result of the interest rate environment currently in the marketplace for these types of securities. The Bank had one held to maturity corporate security at December 31, 2013 that had an unrealized loss position of longer than 12 months in duration. The corporate security matured during 2014 and the Bank did not realize any loss.
	Investment securities with market values of $10.5 million and $67.7 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were pledged as collateral on public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

	In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, loans totaling approximately $33.3 million in non-homogenous groups were determined to be impaired as of December 31, 2014 while approximately $40.1 million were determined to be impaired as of December 31, 2013. Specific loan loss reserves of $1.7 million and $563,000, respectively, were related to these loans as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. These reserves were held against specific loan balances of $21.6 million and $24.0 million for 2014 and 2013, respectively. The average balance invested in impaired loans was approximately $36.7 million and $43.3 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively. All impaired loans as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 have been evaluated to determine whether a specific loan loss reserve is necessary.

The Company offers a variety of modifications to borrowers. The modification categories offered can generally be described in the following categories:
	•		Rate modification—A modification in which the interest rate is changed.
	•		Term modification—A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments or frequency of payments is changed.
	•		Interest only modification—A modification in which the loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time.
	•		Payment modification—A modification in which the principal and interest payment are lowered from the original contractual terms.
	•		Combination modification—Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.

There were no loans restructured in the twelve months prior to December 31, 2014 that went into default during year ended December 31, 2014. There was one loan restructured in the twelve months prior to December 31, 2013 that went into default during the year ended December 31, 2013. For the purposes of this report, default is defined as being 90-days past due or on non-accrual status without performance.
Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, and result in potential incremental losses. These potential incremental losses have been factored into our overall allowance for loan losses estimate. The level of any re-defaults will likely be affected by future economic conditions. Once a loan becomes a TDR, it will continue to be reported as a TDR until it is ultimately repaid in full, reclassified to loans held for sale, or foreclosed and sold. Included in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was an impairment reserve for TDRs in the amount of $1.6 million and $563,000, respectively.
Loans in non-accrual status were approximately $3.1 million and $4.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Interest accrued, but not recognized as income on these loans, was approximately $37,000 and $170,000 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Non-accrual loans and an age analysis of past due loans, segregated by class of loans and including TDRs, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The Bank categorizes loans and leases into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. This categorization is made on all commercial, commercial real estate, and construction and development loans. The Bank uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass—Loans and leases classified as pass should be performing relatively close to expectations, with adequate evidence that the borrower is continuing to generate adequate cash flow to service debt. There should be no significant departure from the intended source and timing of repayment, and there should be no undue reliance on secondary sources of repayment. To the extent that some variance exists in one or more criteria being measured, it may be offset by the relative strength of other factors and/or collateral pledged to secure the transaction.
Special Mention—Loans and leases classified as special mention, while still adequately protected by the borrower’s capital adequacy and payment capability, exhibit distinct weakening trends and/or elevated levels of exposure to external conditions. If left unchecked or uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deteriorated prospects of repayment. These exposures require management’s close attention so as to avoid becoming undue or unwarranted credit exposures.
Substandard—Loans and leases classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the borrower’s current financial condition and payment capability or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans and leases so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful—Loans and leases classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. The Company’s practice is to charge-off the portion of the loan amount determined to be doubtful in the quarter that the determination is made if the repayment of the loan is collateral dependent.
Loss—Loans and leases classified as loss are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Losses are taken in the period in which they surface as uncollectible.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans and leases is as follows (dollars in thousands):

All consumer-related loans, including residential real estate and non-real estate are evaluated and monitored based upon payment activity. Once a consumer related loan becomes past due on a recurring basis, the Company will pull that loan out of the homogenized pool and evaluate it individually for impairment. At this time, the consumer-related loan may be placed on the Company’s internal watch list and risk rated either special mention or substandard, depending upon the individual circumstances. Consumer related loans at December 31, 2014 and 2013, segregated by class of loans, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Allowance_for_Loan_Losses

Allowance for Loan Losses	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Allowance for Loan Losses	4. Allowance for Loan Losses
	The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 310, “Receivables” and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies.” Accordingly, the methodology is based on historical loss experience by type of credit and internal risk grade, specific homogeneous risk pools and specific loss allocations, with adjustments for current events and conditions. The Company’s process for determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses is designed to account for credit deterioration as it occurs. The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including the levels of and trends related to non-accrual loans, past due loans, potential problem loans, criticized loans and net charge-offs or recoveries, among other factors. The provision for loan losses also reflects the totality of actions taken on all loans for a particular period. In other words, the amount of the provision reflects not only the necessary increases in the allowance for loan losses related to newly identified criticized loans, but it also reflects actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans.
	The level of the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of industry concentrations, specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan portfolio quality, present economic, political and regulatory conditions and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. Portions of the allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire allowance is available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Company’s control, including, among other things, the performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications.
	The Company’s allowance for loan losses consists of three elements: (i) specific valuation allowances determined in accordance with accounting principles regarding receivables based on probable losses on specific loans; (ii) historical valuation allowances determined in accordance with accounting principles regarding contingencies based on historical loan loss experience for similar loans with similar characteristics and trends, adjusted, as necessary, to reflect the impact of current conditions; and (iii) general valuation allowances determined in accordance with accounting principles regarding contingencies based on general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company.
	Historical valuation allowances are calculated based on the historical loss experience of specific types of loans at the time they were charged-off. The Company calculates historical loss ratios for pools of similar loans with similar characteristics based on the proportion of actual charge-offs experienced to the total population of loans in the pool. The historical loss ratios are periodically updated based on actual charge-off experience. A historical valuation allowance is established for each pool of similar loans based upon the product of the historical loss ratio and the total dollar amount of the loans in the pool. The Company’s pools of similar loans include commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, construction and development loans, residential real estate loans, and consumer and other loans. General valuation allowances are based on general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company. In general, such valuation allowances are determined by evaluating, among other things: (i) levels and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans; (ii) levels of and trends in chargeoffs and recoveries; (iii) levels of non-impaired substandard loans; (iv) trends in volume and terms of loans; (v) effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting practices; (vi) experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff; (vii) national and local economic trends and conditions; (viii) industry conditions; and (ix) effect of changes in credit concentrations. Management evaluates the degree of risk that each one of these components has on the quality of the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis. Loans identified as losses by management, internal loan review and/or regulatory examiners are charged-off.
	Changes in the allowance for loan losses by segment are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Management has established a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $17.5 million and $19.4 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Although the Company has shown sufficient positive evidence and appears to have ample resources to remain viable into the future in order to utilize these benefits, we believe current overall credit trends, as well as actual and forecasted performance, raise significant concern over the ability of the Company to realize the components of its deferred tax assets relating to net operating losses and the allowances for losses on loans and OREO.
	Income tax expense (benefit) contains no interest or penalty amounts related to unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012.
	The 2014 state net economic loss of approximately $6.5 million must be carried forward to future years. The Company has approximately $47.5 million in total state net economic loss carryovers which will expire between 2023 and 2029 if not previously utilized. The Company’s 2014 federal net operating loss of approximately $1.2 million may be carried forward for up to 20 years, if not previously utilized. The Company has approximately $39.1 million in total federal net operating loss carryovers which will expire between 2029 and 2034 if not previously utilized.

	Dividends
	The Company’s dividend payments, if any, will be made from dividends received from the Bank. Under North Carolina banking law, the Bank’s board of directors may declare dividends so long as they do not reduce the Bank’s capital below its applicable required capital. However, regulatory authorities may limit payment of dividends by any bank when it is determined that such a limitation is in the public interest and is necessary to ensure financial soundness of the Bank. The ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends is currently restricted by the terms of a consent order issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks and a written agreement between the Company and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. See “Other Regulatory Restrictions” below.
	Dividends paid on the Company’s preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the TARP Capital Purchase Program reduces the net income available to common stockholders and earnings per common share. The Company began deferring dividend payments on its preferred stock issued to the U.S. Treasury in February 2011. The preferred stock also would receive preferential treatment in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Additionally, the ownership interest of existing common stockholders will be diluted to the extent the warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury in conjunction with the issuance of preferred stock is exercised.
	On July 16, 2014, the Company repurchased all 13,179 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for a cash payment of $3.3 million. The Treasury also agreed to waive any unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, and to cancel the warrant to purchase 475,204 shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Treasury.
	Capital Requirements
	The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory (and possibly additional discretionary) actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and the Bank’s 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 measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
	Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets, as all those terms are defined in the regulations. As described below, the Bank is subject to a consent order issued by the FDIC and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks. The consent order requires that the Bank maintain capital levels in excess of normal statutory minimums. See “Other Regulatory Restrictions” below.
	Intercompany transactions
	Restrictions on loans by the Bank to the Company are imposed by Federal Reserve Act Sections 23A and 23B, and differ from legal lending limits on loans to external customers. Generally, a bank may lend up to 10% of its capital and surplus to its parent or other affiliate, if the loan is secured and so long as certain safety and soundness requirements and market terms requirements are met. If collateral is in the form of stocks, or other real or personal property, it must have a market value when the loan is made of at least 30% more than the amount of the loan; if the collateral is in the form of debt instruments, it must have a market value when the loan is made of at least 20% more than the amount of the loan; and if the collateral is in the form of obligations of a state or political subdivision or agency thereof, it must have a market value of at least 10% more than the amount of the loan. If such loans are secured by obligations of the United States or agencies thereof, or by notes, drafts, bills of exchange or bankers’ acceptances eligible for rediscount or purchase by a Federal Reserve Bank, requirements for collateral in excess of loan amount do not apply. Under this definition, the legal lending limit for the Bank on loans to the Company was approximately $4.5 million at December 31, 2014. No 23A transactions existed at December 31, 2014 or 2013.
	Other Regulatory Restrictions
	As noted above, banking regulators generally have the ability to require more stringent standards than those otherwise set forth in the regulations. The Bank is subject to a consent order issued by the FDIC and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks and the Company is party to a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. The consent order requires that the Bank maintain capital levels in excess of normal statutory minimums, including a leverage ratio (the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets) of at least 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio (the ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets) of at least 10%, and to take various other actions designed to improve the Bank’s lending procedures and various other conditions related to the Bank’s operations, and of the Company and the Bank to seek the approval of their respective regulators prior to the payment of any cash dividend. The Company’s Board agreed to take steps necessary to ensure the Bank’s compliance with the consent order and, without the approval of its regulator, to not incur additional debt or issue hybrid-capital instruments, or use cash assets other than for the benefit of the Bank, investment in short term, liquid assets or payment of normal expenses.
	At December 31, 2014, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those required in order to be categorized as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, however, as long as the consent order is in place, the Bank will not be considered well-capitalized under FDIC regulations, even if its capital ratios satisfy the requirements for that designation. The Bank’s actual capital amounts (in thousands) and ratios and minimum requirements are set forth in the table below:

Commitments and Contingencies	14. Commitments and Contingencies
	To accommodate the financial needs of its customers, the Company makes commitments under various terms to lend funds. These commitments include revolving credit agreements, term loan commitments and short-term borrowing agreements. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held includes first and second mortgages on one-to-four family dwellings, accounts receivable, inventory, and commercial real estate. Certain lines of credit are unsecured.
	The Company had outstanding commitments to originate commercial and construction loans of approximately $29.6 million at December 31, 2014. These commitments were composed of variable rate loans, with interest rates based upon the prime rate. The commitments included various maturity terms with balloon payments due between one to five years.
	The following summarizes the Company’s approximate remaining available balance to customers under commitments to fund lines of credit at December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Employment and Change of Control Agreements	15. Employment and Change of Control Agreements
	The Company has entered into an employment agreement with a key employee. The employment agreement provides for a rolling three-year term. In most circumstances, commencing on the first anniversary date and continuing each anniversary date thereafter, the agreement automatically extends for an additional year so that the remaining term shall remain three years. The agreement provides for severance payments and other benefits in the event of involuntary termination of employment in connection with any change in control of the Company or the Bank. A severance payment will also generally be provided on a similar basis in connection with voluntary termination of employment where, subsequent to a change in control, the officer is assigned duties inconsistent with his position, duties, responsibilities and status immediately prior to such change in control. The severance payments are defined in the agreement, but in no case exceed 2.99 times the executive officer’s annual base salary in effect at the time the change in control becomes effective or as in effect at the time the officer’s termination becomes effective, whichever is greater. The employment agreement provides for termination by the Company for just cause at any time. The Company has not accrued any benefits under this post-employment agreement as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Stockholders_Equity

Stockholders' Equity	12 Months Ended

Stockholders' Equity	16. Stockholders’ Equity
	Preferred Stock
	The Company has 3 million shares of preferred stock authorized. There were 13,179 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding with a $1,000 per share liquidation preference on December 31, 2013. All of the shares were issued on April 17, 2009, in connection with the U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program.
	On July 16, 2014, the Company repurchased all 13,179 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for a cash payment of $3.3 million. The Treasury also agreed to waive any unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, and to cancel the warrant to purchase 475,204 shares of the Company’s common stock held by the Treasury.
	There were no preferred shares issued and outstanding at December 31, 2014.
	Common Stock
	The Company had 580.0 million shares with no par value common stock authorized as of December 31, 2014. There were 462,028,831 and 3,895,840 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Warrants
	In connection with the issuance of the preferred shares under the U.S. Treasury’s TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Company issued the Treasury a warrant to purchase 475,204 shares of its common stock for $4.16 per share.
	The warrants were cancelled on July 16, 2014 as disclosed above.
	Equity-Based Plans
	Under the Company’s 2007 Omnibus Equity Plan (which was approved by the Company stockholders during 2007 to replace the previous Employee Stock Option Plan and Directors Stock Option Plan which expired in 2008), the Company may grant incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards and performance share awards to its officers and employees, and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards to its directors, for up to an aggregate of 300,000 shares of common stock. The exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and grants have a maximum term of ten years.
	The Company did not grant options during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012. The most recent options were granted with a weighted average fair market value of $5.25 per share. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
	The Company also granted 6,000 shares of restricted stock during 2008. These shares were granted with a weighted average fair value of $5.25. The awards have all been recognized. The restricted stock grants were granted using the same fair value assumptions as the option grants during the year. The restricted stock grant agreements are based upon continued employment with the Company and carry no performance provisions in order to receive the shares at the end of the vesting schedule. The shares will vest equally over a three year period. There was a forfeiture of 1,333 shares in 2011.
	Stock based compensation benefit (expense) was $0, $0, and $(1,000) in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. All stock based awards are vested and all expense has been recognized at December 31, 2014.
	Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require the cash flows from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation expense recognized for those options (“excess tax benefits”) to be classified as financing cash flows. There were no excess tax benefits classified as a financing cash inflow for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012. There were 6,000 options which expired in 2014. There were no options exercised in 2014. There were forfeitures of 9,500 options in 2014.

Fair_Value_of_Financial_Instru

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	17. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s various financial instruments. 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. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America exclude certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Bank.
	The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
	Cash and Cash Equivalents—The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.
	Federal Funds Sold—The carrying amounts of federal funds sold approximate fair values.
	Investment Securities—Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices.
	Loans Receivable—For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for non-performing loans, as applicable, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
	Bank Owned Life Insurance—The carrying amount of bank owned life insurance is the current cash surrender value.
	Other Assets—Other assets include interest receivable and Federal Home Loan Bank stock. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates fair value. The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
	Deposits—The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, statement 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). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
	Federal Home Loan Bank Advances—The fair values of the Bank’s advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
	Repurchase Agreements—The Bank established two term repurchase agreements during 2008. These agreements are collateralized by securities held in our portfolio. The fair value amount for these agreements is based on the repurchase price and agreed upon terms. The repurchase agreements were repaid on July 18, 2014.
	Other Borrowings—Other borrowings includes federal funds purchased as well as repurchase agreements, trust preferred securities and subordinated debt. The carrying amounts approximate the fair value of these assets. On July 16, 2014, the Company repurchased all of the trust preferred securities and also repurchased the subordinated debt.
	Other Liabilities—Other liabilities include accrued interest payable. The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair value.
	Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments—Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.
	The approximate carrying and estimated fair values of financial instruments are summarized below (in thousands):

	Effective January 1, 2008, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain assets and liabilities be measured at fair value and that any adjustments to the fair value of those assets be recorded. Securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis while other assets are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis such as impaired loans and other real estate owned.
	The Company uses three levels of measurement to group those assets measured at fair value. These groupings are made based on the markets the assets are traded in and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The groupings include:
		•		Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
		•		Level 2 – observable inputs other than the quoted prices included in Level 1.
		•		Level 3 – unobservable inputs.
	Investment Securities—The Company’s investment securities are measured on a recurring basis through a model used by our bond agent. All of our bond price adjustments meet level 2 criteria. Prices are derived from a model which uses actively quoted rates, prepayment models and other underlying credit and collateral data.
	Impaired 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. Impaired loans are recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, the Company measures impairment. Fair values of impaired loans are generally estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, liquidation value, discounted cash flows and, in rare cases, the market value of the note. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the net present value of the expected cash flows or fair value of the collateral less costs to sell exceed the recorded investments in such loans. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an executed sales contract with an independent third party, the Company records the impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 1. If the collateral is based on another observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or the Company 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 nonrecurring Level 3. Impaired loans can also be evaluated for impairment using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The measurement of impaired loans using future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate rather than the market rate of interest is not a fair value measurement and is therefore excluded from fair value disclosure requirements. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, a majority of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the net present value of future cash flows.
	Other Real Estate Owned—Properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or the new fair value less estimated selling costs. Fair value is generally based upon current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for selling costs. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the asset as nonrecurring Level 3. However, the Company also considers other factors or recent developments which could result in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in the appraisals such as changes in absorption rates or market conditions from the time of valuation. In situations where an appraisal less estimated selling costs is used to determine fair value, management adjustments are significant to the fair value measurements, or other means are used to estimate fair value in the absence of an appraisal, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Organization	Organization—Bank of the Carolinas Corporation (“the Company”) is a North Carolina-chartered bank holding company that was incorporated on May 30, 2006, for the sole purpose of serving as the parent bank holding company for Bank of the Carolinas (“the Bank”). The Bank is a FDIC-insured, North Carolina-chartered bank that began operations on December 7, 1998.
	Because the Company has no significant operations and conducts no business on its own other than owning the Bank, the discussion contained in these footnotes concerns primarily the business of the Bank. However, for ease of reading and because the financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, the Company and its subsidiary are collectively referred to herein as the “Company” unless otherwise noted.
	The accounting and reporting policies of the Company follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies.
Business	Business—The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses through its retail offices. Its primary deposit products are demand deposits and time certificate accounts and its primary lending products are consumer, commercial, and mortgage loans. The Company does not have significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of other real estate owned, and fair values of financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are defined as those amounts included in the balance sheet captions “cash and due from banks, noninterest-bearing,” and “interest-bearing deposits in banks.” At times, the Company places deposits with high credit quality financial institutions in amounts which may be in excess of federally insured limits.
Investment Securities	Investment Securities—Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value and held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. The unrealized holding gains or losses on securities available for sale are reported, net of related income tax effects, as accumulated other comprehensive income unless a valuation reserve has been established. Changes in unrealized holding gains or losses are included as a component of other comprehensive income until realized. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in income as realized losses. Gains or losses on sales of securities available for sale are based on the specific identification method.
	The Company evaluates securities for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. The Company also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.
Loans Receivable	Loans Receivable—The Company grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is invested within the central North Carolina region. The ability of the Company’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.
	Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for the allowance for loan losses, loans in process, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan using the interest method.
	The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. All interest accrued, but not collected, for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
Allowance for Loan Losses	Allowance for Loan Losses—The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
	The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
	A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
	Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.
Premises and Equipment	Premises and Equipment—Land is carried at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the lesser of estimated useful lives of the assets or lease terms ranging from 3 to 40 years. The cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while expenditures that materially increase the useful lives of property are capitalized.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock	Federal Home Loan Bank Stock—Investment in stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank is required by law of every member. The investment is carried at cost since redemptions of this stock have historically been at par. No ready market exists for the stock, and it has no quoted market value. The stock is presented in other assets. Due to the redemption provisions of the FHLB, the Bank estimates carrying value equals fair value and that it was not impaired at December 31, 2014. The stock had a carrying value of $383,900 and $524,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and is reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Other Real Estate Owned	Other Real Estate Owned—Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and initially recorded at the fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management, and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Expenses associated with maintaining these properties are included in other non-interest expense. The provision for real estate losses is also included in other non-interest expense. Realized gains and losses on disposal of real estate are included in other non-interest expense. Foreclosed assets are presented in other real estate owned. As of December 31, 2014, the Company held a variety of properties in other real estate owned, including 1-4 family residential real estate and commercial real estate. These properties are generally held within the Company’s market area.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes—Deferred tax liabilities and assets are established for future tax return effects of the temporary differences between the stated value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. The focus is on accruing the appropriate balance sheet deferred tax amount, with the statement of income effect being the result of the changes in the balance sheet amounts from period to period.
	An evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits of deferred tax assets is made. A valuation allowance is provided for the deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
	The Company’s policy is to report interest and penalties, if any, in tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company and its subsidiary each reflect the tax expense or benefit associated with the results of their individual operating results. Due to prior IRS audits of 2008 and 2009, only the Company’s 2010 through 2014 federal and state income tax returns are open and subject to examination.
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share—Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and warrants, and are determined using the treasury stock method.
	Net income (loss) per share have been computed based on the following:
		Years Ended December 31,
		2014		2013			2012
		(in thousands except for share data)
	Net income (loss) available to common stockholders	$	10,405	$	(2,333	)	$	(5,535	)
	Weighted average number of common shares outstanding		216,017,691		3,895,840			3,895,840
	Weighted average number of diluted common shares outstanding		216,017,691		3,895,840			3,895,840
	Earnings (Loss) per common share:
	Basic	$	0.05	$	(0.60	)	$	(1.42	)
	Diluted	$	0.05	$	(0.60	)	$	(1.42	)
	The Company had 4,500; 497,205; and 497,205 stock options and warrants that were considered anti-dilutive as the average market price for the shares was less than the exercise price for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
Stock Compensation Plans	Stock Compensation Plans—The Company under generally accepted accounting principles accounts for stock option expense using the modified prospective method. The Company records expense throughout the options’ vesting period.
Advertising Expense	Advertising Expense—The Company’s policy is to expense advertising cost as incurred.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenues, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income (loss). Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section in the balance sheet, such items, along with net income (loss), are components of comprehensive income (loss).
Reclassifications	Reclassifications—In certain instances, amounts reported in prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, stockholders’ equity or net loss.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements—In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860). The amendments in this ASU require that repurchase-to-maturity transactions be accounted for as secured borrowings consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. In addition, the amendments require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty (a repurchase financing), which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. The amendments require an entity to disclose information about transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements, in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. In addition the amendments require disclosure of the types of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions and the tenor of those transactions. This ASU is effective for first interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company will evaluate the impact this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU was developed as a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board to remove inconsistencies in revenue requirements and provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues. The ASU’s core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The ASU may be adopted using either a modified retrospective method or a full retrospective method and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40). The amendments in this Update clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. For entities other than public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740). An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. For example, an entity should not evaluate whether the deferred tax asset expires before the statute of limitations on the tax position or whether the deferred tax asset may be used prior to the unrecognized tax benefit being settled. The amendments in this Update do not require new recurring disclosures. The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.
