This Form 10-Q/A is a technical amendment to correct (1) paragraph one of the certifications filed as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 of the Original Filing, which inadvertently referred to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, rather than our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (2) paragraph one of the certification filed as Exhibit 32.1, which inadvertently referred to an Annual Report, rather than our Quarterly Report for the period ended March 31, 2013. 

No other changes have been made to the Original Filing other than correcting the exhibits described above.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of the words "may," "would," "could," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "intend," "plan" and "estimate," as well as similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include statements related to our projected growth, anticipated future financial performance, and management's long-term performance goals, as well as statements relating to the anticipated effects on results of operations and financial condition from expected developments or events, or business and growth strategies, including anticipated internal growth and plans to establish or acquire banks or the assets of failed banks.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include the following:

• general economic conditions (both generally and in our markets) may be less favorable than expected, which could result in, among other things, a continued deterioration in credit quality, a further reduction in demand for credit and a further decline in real estate values;

• the general decline in the real estate and lending markets, particularly in our market areas, may continue to negatively affect our financial results;

• our ability to raise additional capital may be impaired if current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen;

• we may be unable to collect reimbursements on losses that we incur on our assets covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC as we anticipate;

• restrictions or conditions imposed by our regulators on our operations may make it more difficult for us to achieve our goals;

• legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards and compliance requirements, may adversely affect us;

• competitive pressures among depository and other financial institutions may increase significantly;

• changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins or the volumes or values of the loans we make or have acquired;

• other financial institutions have greater financial resources and may be able to develop or acquire products that enable them to compete more successfully than we can;

• our ability to attract and retain key personnel can be affected by the increased competition for experienced employees in the banking industry;

• adverse changes may occur in the bond and equity markets;

• war or terrorist activities may cause further deterioration in the economy or cause instability in credit markets;

• economic, governmental or other factors may prevent the projected population, residential and commercial growth in the markets in which we operate; and

• we will or may continue to face the risk factors discussed from time to time in the periodic reports we file with the SEC.

For these forward-looking statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.  All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  See Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a description of some of the important factors that may affect actual outcomes.

STATE BANK FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

State Bank Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is a bank holding company whose business is primarily conducted through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, State Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”). The Bank operates a full service banking business and offers a broad range of commercial and retail banking products to its customers, primarily located in metropolitan Atlanta and middle Georgia.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statement presentation. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim period presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto and the report of our independent registered public accounting firm included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Note 2:  Recent Accounting and Regulatory Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income of various components. ASU 2013-02 requires entities to disclose in a single location, either on the face of financial statement that reports net income or in the notes, the effects of reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). For items reclassified out of AOCI and into net income in their entirety, such as realized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities reclassified into net income on sale, entities must disclose the effect on the reclassification on each affected net income item. For AOCI reclassification items that are not reclassified in their entirety into net income, such as actuarial gains or losses amortized into pension cost that may be capitalized into inventory or other assets, entities must provide a cross reference to other required U.S. GAAP disclosures. ASU 2013-02 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2013 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

Residential mortgage-backed-nonagency securities with aggregate fair values of $986,000 and $10.3 million had continuous unrealized losses of $13,000 and $297,000 for more than twelve months as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  At March 31, 2013, the Company held 15 investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position. Market changes in interest rates and credit spreads may result in temporary unrealized losses as the market price of securities fluctuates. The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of other than temporary impairment ("OTTI"). The analysis differs depending upon the type of investment security being analyzed. The severity and duration of impairment and the likelihood of potential recovery of impairment is considered along with the intent and ability to hold any impaired security to maturity or recovery of carrying value. The Company's nonagency portfolio is tested quarterly for OTTI by the use of cash flow models that estimate cash flows on security-specific collateral and the transaction structure. Future expected credit losses are determined by using various assumptions, the most significant of which include current default rates, prepayment rates and loss severities. Credit information is available and modeled at the loan level underlying each security during the OTTI analysis; the Company also considers information such as loan to collateral values, FICO scores and geographic considerations, such as home price appreciation or depreciation. These inputs are updated quarterly or as changes occur to ensure that the most current credit and other assumptions are utilized in the analysis. If, based on the analysis, the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, the expected cash flows are discounted at the security's initial effective interest rate to arrive at a present value amount. OTTI credit losses reflect the difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis of these securities. As of March 31, 2013, there was no intent to sell any of the securities available-for-sale, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities. Furthermore, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected exceeded the Company's amortized cost basis of the investment securities. Therefore, these securities are not deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

The composition of investment securities reflects the strategy of management to maintain an appropriate level of liquidity while providing a relatively stable source of revenue. The securities portfolio may at times be used to mitigate interest rate risk associated with other areas of the balance sheet while also providing a means for the investment of available funds, providing liquidity and supplying investment securities that are required to be pledged as collateral against specific deposits and for other purposes. Investment securities with an aggregate fair value of $94.9 million and $126.6 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements, net counterparty exposure and certain borrowing arrangements.

Loans covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC (often referred to in this report as covered loans) are reported at their recorded investment excluding the expected reimbursement from the FDIC. Covered loans are initially recorded at fair value at acquisition date. Prospective losses incurred on covered loans are eligible for partial reimbursement by the FDIC under loss share agreements. Subsequent decreases in the amount of cash expected to be collected from the borrower result in a provision for loan losses, an increase in the allowance for loan losses and a proportional adjustment to the FDIC receivable for the estimated amount to be reimbursed, discounted to present value. Subsequent increases in the amount of cash expected to be collected from the borrower result in the reversal of any previously-recorded provision for loan losses and related allowance for loan losses and adjustments to the FDIC receivable, or prospective adjustment to the accretable discount if no provision for loan losses had been recorded. The accretable discount is accreted into income over the estimated lives of the loans on a level yield basis.

For each period indicated, a significant portion of the Company's covered loans were past due, including many that were 90 days or more past due. However, such delinquencies were included in the Company's performance expectations in determining the fair values of covered loans at each acquisition and at subsequent valuation dates. There have been covered loans that have deteriorated from management's initial performance expectations, as such, these individually reviewed covered loans and pools of covered loans are considered impaired by management. However, all covered loan cash flows and the timing of such cash flows continue to be estimable and probable of collection and thus accretion income continues to be recognized on these covered assets. As such, the referenced covered loans are not considered nonperforming assets.

As of March 31, 2013, we individually reviewed covered loans totaling $122.3 million, of which $110.0 million were identified as having deteriorated from management's initial performance expectations, resulting in allowance attributable to these loans of $21.9 million. As of March 31, 2013, we also evaluated $274.5 million of covered loans as part of their respective pools, of which $44.0 million were identified as having deteriorated from management's initial performance expectations, resulting in an allowance attributable to these loans of $6.8 million.

As of December 31, 2012, we individually reviewed covered loans totaling $149.7 million, of which $39.3 million were identified as having deteriorated from management's initial performance expectations, resulting in allowance attributable to these loans of $27.5 million. As of December 31, 2012, we also evaluated $325.0 million of covered loans as part of their respective pools, of which $191.1 million were identified as having deteriorated from management's initial performance expectations, resulting in allowance attributable to the loans of $28.0 million.

As of March 31, 2012, we individually reviewed covered loans totaling $229.1 million, of which $113.3 million were identified as having deteriorated from management's initial performance expectations resulting in allowance attributable to these loans of $37.6 million. As of March 31, 2012, we also evaluated $563.1 million of covered loans as part of their respective pools, of which $296.1 million were identified as having deteriorated from management's initial performance expectations, resulting in allowance attributable to the loans of $18.4 million.

Approved credit losses are expected to be reimbursed for covered loans under the appropriate FDIC loss share agreements at either 80 or 95 percent, in accordance with the applicable corresponding loss share agreement. The Company uses a symmetrical accounting approach in recording the loan carrying values and the FDIC receivable on covered loans. An increase in the loan value and a reduction in the FDIC receivable are accounted for as a yield adjustment over the remaining life of each asset. A reduction in the loan value, through a provision for loan losses, and an increase in the FDIC receivable, through an adjustment to income, are taken immediately.

Asset Quality Grades:

The Company assigns loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to pay their debts, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company utilizes risk-grading guidelines to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 8. A description of the general characteristics of grades 5 and above is as follows:

Watch (Grade 5)—Loans graded Watch are pass credits that have not met performance expectations or that have higher inherent risk characteristics warranting continued supervision and attention.

OAEM (Grade 6)—A Loan graded OAEM (other assets especially mentioned) has potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the Loan or in the Company's credit position at some future date. OAEM Loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard (Grade 7)—Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Doubtful (Grade 8)—Loans classified as doubtful 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.

Classifications on covered loans are based upon the borrower's ability to pay the current unpaid principal balance without regard to loss share coverage or the net carrying value of the loan on the Bank's balance sheet. Because the values shown in this table are based on each loan's estimated cash flows, any expected losses should be covered by a combination of the specific reserves established in the allowance for loan losses on covered loans plus the discounts to the unpaid principal balances reflected in the recorded investment of each loan. Therefore, loan classifications are not as meaningful to the collectibility of covered loans as they are to noncovered loans as they are reflective of current fair value.

Note 8: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Bank is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Bank principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Bank manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of certain balance sheet assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Bank enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Bank does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated in qualifying hedging relationships. The Bank's hedging strategies involving interest rate derivatives are classified as either Fair Value Hedges or Cash Flow Hedges, depending on the rate characteristic of the hedged item.

Fair Value Hedge: As a result of interest rate fluctuations, fixed-rate assets and liabilities will appreciate or depreciate in fair value. When effectively hedged, this appreciation or depreciation will generally be offset by fluctuations in the fair value of the derivative instruments that are linked to the hedged assets and liabilities. This strategy is referred to as a fair value hedge.

Cash Flow Hedge: Cash flows related to floating-rate assets and liabilities will fluctuate with changes in an underlying rate index. When effectively hedged, the increases or decreases in cash flows related to the floating rate asset or liability will generally be offset by changes in cash flows of the derivative instrument designated as a hedge. This strategy is referred to as a cash flow hedge.

The table below presents the fair value of the Bank's derivative financial instruments (in thousands):

	Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
	Asset Derivatives						Liability Derivatives

(1) The collateral received/posted amount has been limited in order to fully offset the net financial position. All positions are fully collateralized per the Bank's bilateral counterparty agreements.

The Bank uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Bank making fixed payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of March 31, 2013, the Bank had 53 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $116.6 million that were designated as fair value hedges associated with the Bank's fixed rate loan program.

At March 31, 2013, interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the payment of a premium to a counterparty based on the notional size and cap strike rate. The Bank's current cash flow hedges are for the purpose of capping the interest rate paid on variable rate deposits which protect the company in a rising rate environment. The caps were purchased during the first quarter of 2013, have a five year life and notional value of $200.0 million. The Bank had no active derivative contracts outstanding at December 31, 2012 that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

For derivatives so designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. The change in fair value of the effective portion of cash flow hedges is accounted for in other comprehensive income rather than net income and the premium paid to purchase the cap is amortized into interest expense over the life of the cap.

During the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Bank recognized net losses of $92,000 and $38,000, respectively, in noninterest income related to hedge ineffectiveness. The Bank also recognized a net reduction in interest income of $272,000 and $123,000 for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to the Bank's fair value hedges, which include net settlements on the derivatives and any amortization adjustment of the basis in the hedged items. During the three

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Bank manages credit exposure on derivatives transactions by entering into a bi-lateral credit support agreement with each counterparty. The credit support agreements require collateralization of exposures beyond specified minimum threshold amounts. The details of these agreements, including the minimum thresholds, vary by counterparty.

The Bank's agreements with the derivative counterparties provide that if the Bank defaults on any indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Bank could also be declared in default on the derivative obligations.

Such agreements also provide that if the Bank fails to maintain its status as a well or adequately capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Bank would be required to settle obligations under the agreements.

As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position under these agreements, which include accrued interest but exclude any adjustment for nonperformance risk, was $836,000. The Bank has minimum collateral posting thresholds with derivative counterparties and has received $1.9 million in collateral under these agreements as of March 31, 2013. Although the Bank did not breach any of these provisions at March 31, 2013, had a breach occurred, the Bank could have been required to settle obligations under the agreements at their termination value.

Note 10: Share-Based Compensation

The Company maintains an incentive compensation plan that includes share-based compensation. The State Bank Financial Corporation 2011 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the "Plan") was approved by the Company's shareholders in 2011 and authorizes up to 3,160,000 shares of stock for issuance in accordance with the Plan terms. Descriptions of these grants and the Plan, including the terms of awards and the number of shares authorized for issuance, were included in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. There were no grants, exercises or forfeitures of restricted stock awards or stock options during the first quarter of 2013.

The Company recognized compensation expense related to stock options of $116,000 and $17,000 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in the Company's consolidated statements of income. Unearned share-based compensation associated with these options totaled $97,000 and $155,000 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The amount of compensation was determined based on the fair value of options at the time of grant, multiplied by the number of options granted that were expected to vest, which was then amortized over the vesting period. All stock option grants occurred during the third quarter of 2011. The Company recognized compensation expense relating to restricted stock awards of $296,000 and $149,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in the Company's consolidated statements of income. Unearned share-based compensation associated with these awards totaled $3.1 million and $1.2 million at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 12: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In order to meet the financing needs of its customers, we maintain financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and/or liquidity risk.

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers. Commitments generally have fixed maturity dates or other termination clauses with required fee payments. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. The amount of collateral required, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is determined on a case by case basis by management through credit evaluation of the customer.

29

STATE BANK FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Standby letters of credit are commitments guaranteeing performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are issued primarily to support public and private borrowing arrangements. In order to minimize its exposure, the Bank's credit policies govern the issuance of standby letters of credit.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

A summary of the Bank's commitments is as follows (in thousands):

	March 31, 2013		December 31, 2012
Commitments to extend credit:
Fixed	$	7,368	$	8,188
Variable	219,731		248,310
Financial standby letters of credit:
Fixed	466		437
Variable	1,920		1,399
Total	$	229,485	$	258,334

The fixed rate loan commitments have interest rates ranging from 2.30% to 18.00% and maturities ranging from 1 month to 5 years.

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Note 13: Fair Value

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 ("ASC 820") Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Fair Value Hierarchy

Level 1

Valuation is based on inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2

Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates, yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, and other market-corroborated inputs.

Level 3

Valuation inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

30

STATE BANK FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company evaluates fair value measurement inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between levels. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company's valuation process. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012, there were no transfers between levels.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities on a recurring basis:

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

At March 31, 2013, the Company's investment portfolio primarily consisted of U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, nonagency mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government securities, corporate bonds and municipal securities. The fair values for U.S. Treasury securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges utilizing Level 1 inputs. Other securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The fair value of other securities classified as available-for-sale are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker-quote-based applications. Inputs may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond's terms and conditions, among other relevant items. The Company reviews the prices supplied by the independent pricing service, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness and to ensure such prices are aligned with traditional pricing matrices. From time to time, the Company validates the appropriateness of the valuations provided by the independent pricing service to prices obtained from an additional third party or prices derived using internal models.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses interest-rate swaps to provide longer-term fixed rate funding to its customers and interest-rate caps to mitigate the interest rate risk on its variable rate liabilities. The majority of these derivatives are traded within highly active dealer markets. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, the Company utilizes the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract. Therefore, these derivative contracts are classified as Level 2. The Company utilizes an independent third party valuation company to validate the dealer prices. In cases where significant credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the estimation of fair value, reported amounts are considered to have been derived utilizing Level 3 inputs.

The Company evaluates the credit risk of its counterparties as well as that of the Company. The Company has considered factors such as the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties, its net exposures, and remaining contractual life, among other things, in determining if any fair value adjustments related to credit risk are required. Counterparty exposure is evaluated by netting positions that are subject to master netting arrangements, as well as considering the amount of collateral securing the position. The Company reviews its counterparty exposure on a regular basis, and, when necessary, appropriate business actions are taken to adjust the exposure. The Company also utilizes this approach to estimate its own credit risk on derivative liability positions. To date, the Company has not realized any losses due to a counterparty's inability to pay any net uncollateralized position.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial assets on a nonrecurring basis:

Impaired Noncovered Loans

Noncovered loans considered impaired are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The fair values of impaired noncovered loans are measured on a nonrecurring basis and are based on the underlying collateral value of each loan if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 2 inputs that are based on observable market data such as an appraisal. Updated appraisals are obtained on at least an annual basis. Level 3 inputs are based on the Company's customized discounting criteria when management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired.

Impaired Covered Loans

The fair values of impaired covered loans are measured on a nonrecurring basis. As of March 31, 2013, the Company identified acquired loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements where the expected performance of such loans had deteriorated from management's performance expectations established in conjunction with the determination of the acquisition date fair values. The fair values of impaired covered loans are determined by discounted cash flow estimations, or unobservable assumptions; as such, they are recorded within nonrecurring Level 3 hierarchy. The Company determines its fair value of impaired covered loans by discounting the expected cash flows for both covered loans that are individually evaluated for impairment and covered loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment in pools. For collateral dependent loans, the cash flow may be based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.

Potential credit losses on acquired loans are calculated based on the Company's specific review of covered loans individually evaluated for impairment and on the probability of default and loss given default estimates for covered loans collectively evaluated for impairment in pools. The potential credit losses reduce the expected principal cash flows in computing fair value.

The discounted cash flow analysis takes into consideration the contractual terms of the loan, including the period to maturity and use of observable market discount rates for similar instruments with adjustments for implied volatility. The adjustments that impact the fair value include probability of default, loss given default, prepayment rates and cash flow timing assumptions. There are several assumptions for each product type that determine the timing of cash flows for principal, interest, or collateral value.

Noncovered impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $4.3 million with a valuation allowance of $1.6 million at March 31, 2013. The Bank also had one loan that was classified as a troubled debt restructuring that is not collateral dependent at March 31, 2013 with a principal balance of $75,000. The fair value of the troubled debt restructuring was measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the effective interest rate, or the original contractual loan rate, resulting in a valuation allowance totaling $11,000.

Noncovered impaired loans that are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $3.5 million with a valuation allowance of $1.1 million at December 31, 2012. The Bank also had two loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings that were not collateral dependent at December 31, 2012 with a principal balance of $1.3 million. The fair value of the troubled debt restructuring was measured by discounting expected future cash flows at the effective interest rate, or the original contractual loan rate, resulting in a valuation allowance totaling $189,000.

As of March 31, 2013, we individually reviewed covered loans totaling $122.3 million, of which $110.0 million were identified as having deteriorated from management's initial performance expectations, resulting in allowance attributable to these loans of $21.9 million. As of March 31, 2013, we evaluated $274.5 million of covered loans as part of their respective pools, of which $44.0 million were identified as having deteriorated from management's initial performance expectations, resulting in allowance attributable to these loans of $6.8 million.

As of December 31, 2012, we individually reviewed covered loans totaling $149.7 million, of which $39.3 million were identified as having deteriorated from management's initial performance expectations, resulting in allowance attributable to these loans of $27.5 million. As of December 31, 2012, we also evaluated $325.0 million of covered loans as part of their respective pools, of which $191.1 million were identified as having deteriorated from management's initial performance expectations, resulting in allowance attributable to the loans of $28.0 million.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its nonfinancial assets on a nonrecurring basis:

Other Real Estate Owned

The fair value of other real estate owned is determined when the asset is transferred to foreclosed assets. Fair value is based on appraised values of the collateral. When the value is based on observable market prices such as an appraisal, the asset is recorded in Level 2 hierarchy. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired, the asset is recorded as a nonrecurring Level 3 hierarchy. Management requires a new appraisal at the time of foreclosure or repossession of the underlying collateral. Updated appraisals are obtained on at least an annual basis on all other real estate owned.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the periods indicated, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value (in thousands).

	Quoted Market Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total

Total other real estate owned	$	—	$	—	$	50,192	$	50,192

Other real estate owned is initially accounted for at fair value, less estimated costs to dispose of the property. Any excess of the recorded investment over fair value, less costs to dispose, is charged to the allowance for loan losses at the time of foreclosure. The ability of the Company to recover the carrying value of other real estate owned is based upon future sales of the real estate. The ability to effect such sales is subject to market conditions and other factors beyond our control; future declines in the value of the real estate would result in a charge to earnings.

The following table includes the estimated fair value of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured on a recurring and nonrecurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for estimating the fair value for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation techniques may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at fair value. Estimated fair value is determined on the basis of existing forward commitments, or the current market value of similar loans. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Noncovered Loans

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of noncovered loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type. The fair value of performing noncovered loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturities using estimated market discount rates that reflect observable market information incorporating the credit, liquidity, yield, and other risks inherent in the loan. The estimate of maturity is based on the Company's historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of the current economic and lending conditions.

Covered Loans

Covered loans are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition exclusive of expected cash flow reimbursements from the FDIC. The fair values of loans with evidence of credit deterioration are recorded net of a nonaccretable discount and, if appropriate, an accretable discount. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses. Subsequent increases to the expected cash flows result in a reversal of the provision for loan losses to the extent of prior changes or a reclassification of the difference from the nonaccretable to accretable discount with a positive impact on the accretable discount. Any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable discount and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows.

FDIC Receivable for Loss Share Agreements

The FDIC receivable is recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. The FDIC receivable is recognized at the same time as the covered loans, and measured on the same basis, subject to collectability or contractual limitations, and the FDIC receivable is impacted by changes in estimated cash flows associated with these loans.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair values.

Restricted Equity Securities

Restricted equity securities are carried at original cost basis, as cost approximates fair value and there is no readily determinable market value for such investments.

Deposits

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing deposits, and savings and money market deposits, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting the expected life. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Notes Payable

The fair value of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates the carrying amount because of the short maturity of these borrowings. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities. Notes payable are variable rate subordinated debt for which performance is based on the underlying notes receivable and adjust accordingly.

Commitments and Contingencies

The carrying amount of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit approximates fair value. The carrying amount of the off-balance sheet financial instruments is based on current fees charged to enter into such agreements.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Introduction

The Company is a bank holding company that was incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia in January 2010 to serve as the holding company for the Bank. The Bank is a Georgia state-chartered bank that opened in October 2005 in Pinehurst, Georgia. From October 2005 until July 23, 2009, the Bank operated as a small community bank from two branch offices located in Dooly County, Georgia with total assets of approximately $33.6 million, total loans receivable of approximately $22.5 million, total deposits of approximately $26.1 million and total shareholders' equity of approximately $5.7 million at December 31, 2008.

On July 24, 2009, the Bank raised approximately $292.1 million in gross proceeds (before expenses) from investors in a private offering of its common stock. In connection with the private offering, the FDIC and the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance approved the Interagency Notice of Change in Control application filed by our new management team, which took control of the Bank on July 24, 2009. Since that date and through the date of this report, the Bank has acquired $3.9 billion in total assets and assumed $3.6 billion in deposits from the FDIC, as receiver, in twelve different failed bank transactions. Concurrently with each of our acquisitions, we entered into loss share agreements with the FDIC that cover certain of the acquired loans and other real estate owned. Where applicable, we refer loans subject to loss share agreements with the FDIC as "covered loans" and loans that are not subject to loss share agreements with the FDIC as "noncovered loans."

As a result of our failed bank acquisitions, the Bank was transformed from a small community bank in Pinehurst, Georgia to a much larger commercial bank now operating 21 full service branches throughout middle Georgia and metropolitan Atlanta. As of March 31, 2013, our total assets were approximately $2.6 billion, our total loans receivable were approximately $1.4 billion, our total deposits were approximately $2.1 billion and our total shareholders' equity was approximately $427 million.

The following discussion analyzes our financial condition as of March 31, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012 and describes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2012.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes appearing in this report and in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and disclosures in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to State Bank Financial Corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, State Bank and Trust Company, except that if the discussions relate to a period before July 23, 2009, these terms refer solely to State Bank and Trust Company.  All references to the “Bank” refer to State Bank and Trust Company.

Overview

The Company had a net loss for the three months endedMarch 31, 2013 of $(1.2) million, or $(.04) per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.1 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2012, or $.16 per diluted share. The following sections provide an overview of the major factors impacting our financial performance for the three months endedMarch 31, 2013.

Total gross loans at March 31, 2013 were down $11.9 million, or .8%, from December 31, 2012. Although we experienced organic loan growth of $66.0 million, or 6.7%, in the first quarter of 2013, the resolution of our covered loans continued slightly to outpace our organic growth which was driven by new loan originations. Covered loans decreased $77.9 million, or 16.4%, from December 31, 2012, as covered loans were paid down or charged off and submitted for loss share reimbursement.

The FDIC receivable for loss share agreements at March 31, 2013 decreased approximately $96.5 million, or 27.2%, from December 31, 2012. The balance of the FDIC receivable decreases as a result of the submission of claims and the receipt of cash from the FDIC under the terms of our loss share agreements. Increases in expected losses on covered assets result in an increase in the FDIC receivable. Improved asset quality on covered assets results in a decrease in the estimated cash flows expected to be received under the loss share agreements and results in an impairment of the FDIC receivable. The total impairment is not recorded in the current period, but is recognized prospectively as amortization expense in noninterest income over the lesser of the remaining life of the covered asset or loss share agreement.

40

Our provision for loan losses was a negative $(2.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to a provision of $252,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The provision includes a covered loan loss provision and a noncovered loan loss provision. At March 31, 2013, recoveries on noncovered loans were greater than charge-offs by $112,000, compared to net charge-offs on noncovered loans of $61,000 in 2012. The allowance for loan losses decreased $26.3 million to $43.8 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $70.1 million recorded at December 31, 2012. Substantially all of the $26.3 million decrease came from the allowance for the covered loan portfolio, which was largely the result of an increase in the cash flow expectations related to certain loan pools and the resolution of a number of individually reviewed loans. These loans continue to perform in excess of our initial expectations. However, the performance is not uniform across all asset classes and individual loans. Despite the net positive credit trends in covered loans, there remains the potential for future volatility within the provision for loan losses on covered loans. The determination of allowances for noncovered and covered loans is discussed in Note 1 in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Noninterest income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2013 decreased $8.3 million, or 195.9%, from the same period in 2012. As noted above, because projected cash flows on our acquired covered loans continue to be higher than originally expected, the accretion on our FDIC receivable has shifted over time from accreting income, to negative accretion, and we are now recording amortization of, rather than accretion on, the FDIC receivable. The effects of the shift in the FDIC receivable from accretion to amortization continues to impact our noninterest income. We recorded amortization on the FDIC receivable of $16.8 million at March 31, 2013, an increase of $9.8 million, or 139.4% compared to the same period 2012. Outside of amortization on the FDIC receivable, noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $1.4 million, or 51.8% from the same period in 2012. Payroll fee income of $832,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was the result of the acquisition of the assets and business of Altera Payroll, Inc. during the third quarter of 2012. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2013, gains on the sale of investment securities increased approximately $300,000 compared to the same period in 2012.

Noninterest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $26.7 million were up $4.0 million, or 17.5% from the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to higher salaries and benefits resulting from one-time severance costs related to ongoing efficiency improvements. The remainder of the increase was a result of seasonally high salary and benefit costs such as FICA taxes and additional payroll expenses related to the acquisition of Altera Payroll, Inc.

During the first quarter of 2013, we announced and paid a quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders. The quarterly cash dividend was $.03 per common share.

The composition of our investment securities portfolio reflects our investment strategy of maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity while providing a relatively stable source of revenue. The investment securities portfolio also provides a balance to interest rate risk, while providing a vehicle for the investment of available funds, furnishing liquidity and supplying securities to pledge as required collateral. At March 31, 2013, we had $351.5 million in our available-for-sale investment securities portfolio representing approximately 13.3% of our total assets, compared to $303.9 million, or 11.4% of total assets, at December 31, 2012. Investment securities were up $47.6 million, or 15.7%, compared to December 31, 2012. Our increased investment in securities was due to the continued liquidation of our covered loan portfolio and receipts on claims to the FDIC. Management increased the size of the Bank's investment security portfolio to gain a greater return on assets, rather than remaining in cash. Securities purchased were predominately agency-backed with short durations that had no material impact on our overall liquidity or interest rate risk profile. Investment securities with carrying values of $94.9 million were pledged to secure public deposits or for other purposes at March 31, 2013.

Our investment portfolio primarily consists of U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, nonagency mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government agency securities, corporate bonds and municipal securities. Agency mortgage-backed securities are securities that have been developed by pooling a number of real estate mortgages and are principally issued by "quasi-federal" agencies such as Federal National Mortgage Association "Fannie Mae" and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation "Freddie Mac". These securities are deemed to have high credit ratings, and the minimum monthly cash flows of principal and interest are guaranteed by the issuing agencies. Although investors generally assume that the federal government will support these agencies, it is under no obligation to do so. Other agency mortgage-backed securities are issued by Government National Mortgage Association "Ginnie Mae", which is a federal agency, and are guaranteed by the U.S. government. The actual maturities of these mortgage-backed securities will differ from their contractual maturities because the loans underlying the securities can prepay. Decreases in interest rates will generally cause an acceleration of prepayment levels. In a declining interest rate environment, we may not be able to reinvest the proceeds from these prepayments in assets that have comparable yields. In a rising rate environment, the opposite occurs: prepayments tend to slow and the weighted average life extends. This is referred to as extension risk, which can lead to lower levels of liquidity due to the delay of cash receipts, and can result in the holding of a below market yielding asset for a longer period of time.

At March 31, 2013, $57.5 million, or 16.4%, of our available-for-sale securities were invested in U.S. government agencies, compared to $60.5 million, or 19.9%, as of December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, $148.5 million, or 42.2%, of our available-for-sale securities were invested in agency mortgage-backed securities, compared to $91.0 million, or 29.9%, as of December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, $135.5 million, or 38.5% of our available-for-sale securities were invested in nonagency mortgage-backed securities, compared to $139.8 million, or 46.0%, as of December 31, 2012. Our nonagency mortgage-backed securities were purchased at significant market discounts compared to par value. The underlying collateral consists of mortgages originated prior to 2006 with the majority being 2004 and earlier. None of the collateral is subprime and we own the senior tranche of each bond.

Loans

Total net loans outstanding at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were approximately $1.4 billion for both periods after subtracting allowance for loan losses on covered and noncovered loans.

Loans secured by real estate mortgages are the principal component of our loan portfolio. Most of our real estate loans are secured by commercial or residential property. We do not generally originate traditional long-term residential mortgages for our portfolio, but we do originate and hold traditional second mortgage residential real estate loans and home equity lines of credit. Even if the principal purpose of the loan is not to finance real estate, we obtain a security interest in real estate whenever possible, in addition to any other available collateral, to increase the likelihood of the ultimate repayment or collection of the loan.

As seen below, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, our noncovered loans increased by $66.0 million, or 6.7%, and our covered loans decreased by $77.9 million, or 16.4%, from December 31, 2012. We have planned for and expect these trends to continue. Our covered loans will decrease as they are collected, charged-off or the underlying collateral is foreclosed on and sold. Our covered loans may increase in the future if we acquire more banks. Our noncovered loans will increase as we originate and purchase well-underwritten loans. Due to the current economic environment, covered loans may decrease faster than noncovered loans increase, thereby resulting in a decrease in gross loans receivable as experienced in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

FDIC Receivable for Loss Share Agreements and Clawback Liability

As of March 31, 2013, 27.4% of our outstanding principal balance of loans and 99.4% of our other real estate assets were covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC in which the FDIC has agreed to reimburse us either 80% or 95% of all losses incurred in connection with those assets. We estimated the FDIC reimbursement that will result from losses incurred as we dispose of covered loans and other real estate assets, and we recorded the estimate as a receivable from the FDIC. Prior to loss share expiration, decreases in expected losses below acquisition date estimates will result in a decrease in the FDIC receivable, while increases in expected losses in excess of these acquisition date estimates will result in an increase to the FDIC receivable. The FDIC receivable for loss share agreements was $258.8 million as of March 31, 2013, a decrease of $96.5 million, or 27.2%, from $355.3 million as of December 31, 2012. The decline in the amount of FDIC receivable is largely attributable to cash proceeds we received from the FDIC related to our realized losses on covered assets. However, we have also reduced the balance of the FDIC receivable as cash flow estimates have improved for some of our individually reviewed covered loans and pools of covered loans. Of the remaining indemnification asset, $42.5 million is currently scheduled for future amortization with an estimated weighted average life of only three quarters. The short time frame is driven by the fact that our first loss share transactions were our largest transactions.

At the end of each of the loss share agreements with the FDIC, with the exception of the six bank subsidiaries of Security Bank Corporation, we may be required to reimburse the FDIC in the event that losses on covered assets do not reach original expected losses, based on the initial discount received less cumulative servicing amounts for the covered assets acquired. As of March 31, 2013 we have recorded a $1.3 million liability to the FDIC related to the NorthWest Bank & Trust, Community Capital Bank and Piedmont Community Bank acquisitions, which is netted with the FDIC Receivable for Loss Share Agreements in our consolidated statements of financial condition.

Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL)

The ALL represents the amount that management believes is necessary to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. The ALL is critical to the portrayal and understanding of our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. The determination and application of the ALL accounting policy involves judgments, estimates and uncertainties that are subject to change. Changes in these assumptions, estimates or the conditions surrounding them may have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

The ALL on our noncovered loan portfolio is determined based on factors such as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall portfolio quality, delinquency trends, adequacy of collateral, loan concentrations, specific problem loans and economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. The ALL for noncovered loans consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers nonimpaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current economic factors. Historical losses are adjusted by a qualitative analysis that reflects several key economic indicators such as gross domestic product, unemployment and core inflation as well as asset quality trends, rate risk and unusual events or significant changes in personnel, policies or procedures. The qualitative analysis requires judgment by management and is subject to continuous validation.

The ALL on our covered loan portfolio is determined based on expected future cash flows. Because we record acquired loans at their acquisition date fair values, which are based on expected future cash flows and include an estimate for future loan losses, we recorded no allowance for loan losses related to the acquired covered loans on the acquisition date. On the date of acquisition, management determines which covered loans are placed in homogeneous risk pools or reviewed specifically as part of the periodic cash flow re-estimation process. If a loan is placed in a pool, the overall performance of the pool will determine if any future ALL is required.

The covered loan ALL analysis represents management's estimate of the potential impairment of the acquired loan portfolio subsequent to the original acquisition date. Typically, decreased cash flows result in impairment, while increased cash flows result in a full or partial reversal of previously recorded impairment and potentially the calculation of a higher effective yield. If our actual losses exceed the estimated losses, we will record a provision for loan losses on covered loans as an expense on our consolidated statement of income. We also record an amount that will be recovered by us, under the related FDIC loss share agreements, as a reduction of the provision for loan losses on our consolidated statement of income.

At March 31, 2013, our total ALL for noncovered and covered loans was $43.8 million, a decrease of $26.3 million compared to December 31, 2012. The ALL at March 31, 2013 reflected net charge-offs of $4.1 million on noncovered and covered loans and total provisions for loan losses of negative $(2.0) million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, net of $20.2 million recorded through the FDIC loss-share receivable.

At March 31, 2013, our noncovered ALL increased$462,000 to $15.1 million, compared to $14.7 million at December 31, 2012. The noncovered provision for loan losses charged to expense was $350,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in our noncovered ALL in the first quarter of 2013 is primarily due to loan growth. The noncovered ALL to total noncovered loans was 1.44% at March 31, 2013, compared to 1.49% at December 31, 2012.

We established the covered ALL due to additional credit deterioration in our covered loan portfolio subsequent to initial fair value estimates. At March 31, 2013, our covered ALL decreased$26.8 million to $28.7 million, compared to $55.5 million at December 31, 2012. The provision for loan losses charged to expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was a negative $(2.4) million after a benefit attributable to the FDIC loss share agreements, compared to a negative $(1.3) million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in the covered ALL was primarily due to the improvement in covered loan performance and a decrease in the balance of covered loans. At March 31, 2013, our overall outstanding covered loan portfolio balances continue to decline with an ending balance of $396.8 million compared to $474.7 million at December 31, 2012.

The overall covered loan portfolio continues to perform in excess of our initial projections at the applicable acquisition dates. However, the performance is not uniform across all asset classes, individually reviewed loans and loan pools. Despite the net positive credit trends in covered loans, there remains the potential for future volatility within the provision for loan losses on covered loans.

47

As the majority of our covered loans are considered purchased credit impaired loans, our provision for loan losses in future periods will be most significantly influenced in the short term by differences in actual credit losses resulting from the resolution of problem loans from the estimated credit losses used in determining the estimated fair values of purchased impaired loans as of their acquisition or re-estimation dates and subsequently. For noncovered loans, the provision for loan losses will be affected by the loss potential of impaired loans and trends in the delinquency of loans, nonperforming loans and net charge-offs, which may be more than our historical experience.

The following table summarizes the activity in our allowance for loan losses related to our noncovered and covered loans for the periods presented.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, other real estate owned and foreclosed property. For noncovered loans, management continuously monitors loans and transfers loans to nonaccrual status when they are 90 days past due.

Substantially all of our covered loans were acquired with evidence of deteriorated credit quality and are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. As a result, we do not consider loans acquired with evidence of deteriorated credit quality to be nonperforming assets as long as their expected cash flows can be estimated. Moreover, in addition to being covered by loss share agreements, these assets were marked to fair value at the time of acquisition, mitigating much of our potential loss on these assets.

At March 31, 2013, all loans accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30 continue to be classified as performing loans, as the carrying value of the respective loan or pool of loans cash flows were considered estimable and probable of collection. Therefore, interest income is recognized through accretion of the difference between the carrying value of these loans and the present value of expected future cash flows. Management has included asset quality measures that excluded these loans in the table in this section.

49

Noncovered nonaccrual loans are considered impaired and are valued at either the observable market price of the loan, the present value of expected future cash flows or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The majority of our noncovered nonaccrual loans are collateral dependent and, therefore, are valued at the fair value of collateral. The fair value of collateral is determined through a review of the appraised value and an assessment of the recovery value of the collateral through discounts related to various factors noted below. When a loan reaches nonaccrual status, we review the appraisal on file and determine if the appraisal is current and valid. A current appraisal is one that has been performed in the last twelve months, and a valid appraisal is one that we believe accurately and appropriately addresses current market conditions. If the appraisal is more than twelve months old or if market conditions have deteriorated since the last appraisal, we will order a new appraisal. In addition, we require a new appraisal at the time of foreclosure or repossession of the underlying collateral. Upon determining that an appraisal is both current and valid, management assesses the recovery value of the collateral, which involves the application of various discounts to the market value. These discounts include the following: length of time to market and sell the property, as well as expected maintenance costs, insurance and taxes and real estate commissions on sale. We record other real estate owned at the estimated market value, less disposal costs, at the date of acquisition.

For noncovered loans, we will record either a specific allowance or a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses if our review of the current appraisal or the new appraisal indicates a loss. Subsequently, we will review our noncovered allowance and replenish it as required by our allowance for loan loss model.

Noncovered nonperforming loans remain on nonaccrual status until the factors that previously indicated doubtful collectibility on a timely basis no longer exist. Specifically, we look at the following factors before returning a nonperforming loan to performing status: documented evidence of debt service capacity; adequate collateral; and a minimum of six months of receiving payments as agreed.

Loan modifications on noncovered loans constitute a troubled debt restructuring if we, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, grant a concession to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider. For loans that are considered troubled debt restructurings, we either compute the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the original loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, we may measure impairment based on the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral when the troubled debt restructuring is deemed collateral dependent. We record the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the loan as a valuation allowance.

Loan modifications on covered loans accounted for within a pool under ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, do not result in the removal of the loan from the pool even if the modification of the loan would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. At March 31, 2013, we did not have any covered loans classified as troubled debt restructurings.

Nonperforming assets, defined as nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings and other real estate owned, totaled $52.1 million, or 3.5% of total loans and other real estate owned, at March 31, 2013, compared to $51.0 million, or 3.4% of total loans and other real estate owned, at December 31, 2012. Of the $52.1 million in nonperforming assets at March 31, 2013, $47.4 million related to assets that are covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC. Of the $51.0 million in nonperforming assets at December 31, 2012, $45.1 million related to assets that are covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC. Covered assets accounted for 91.1% and 88.4% of total nonperforming assets at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had no accruing noncovered loans greater than 90 days past due. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, a significant portion of our covered loans were past due, including many that were 90 days or greater past due. However, as noted above, under ASC 310-30, our covered loans are classified as performing, even though they are contractually past due, as long as their expected cash flows can be estimated and are probable of collection.

Potential noncovered problem loans amounted to $6.0 million, or .6%, of total noncovered loans outstanding at March 31, 2013, compared to $7.2 million, or .7%, of total noncovered loans outstanding at December 31, 2012. Potential noncovered problem loans are those loans where management has a concern about the financial health of a borrower that causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan terms.

Deposits

Total deposits at March 31, 2013decreased approximately $246,000 from December 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we continued to enhance our deposit product offerings for both commercial and individual customers. The level of deposits was also supported by relatively strong liquidity in our deposit base and limited alternative investment opportunities in the low rate environment. Interest rates paid on specific deposit types are determined based on (i) interest rates offered by competitors, (ii) anticipated amount and timing of funding needs, (iii) availability and cost of alternative sources of funding, and (iv) anticipated future economic conditions and interest rates. We regard our deposits as attractive sources of funding because of their stability and relative cost. Deposits are regarded as an important part of our overall client relationship, which provide us opportunities to cross sell other services.

The overall mix of deposits improved during the three months ended March 31, 2013, with noninterest-bearing deposits increasing$22.3 million to approximately $409.7 million and representing 19.1% of total deposits, compared to 18.0% at December 31, 2012. The increase in noninterest-bearing deposits resulted primarily from commercial checking accounts, many of which are related to commercial real estate lending customers.

Interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $22.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily resulting from seasonal disbursements in some of our municipal deposit accounts following property tax receipts in the prior quarter. Interest-bearing deposits in savings and money market accounts increased $10.3 million. Time deposits, which are comprised mostly of certificates of deposits ("CDs"), decreased $10.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The duration of our CD portfolio continues to remain short, and we continue to aggressively reprice high cost deposits. Due to our strategy of decreasing our cost of funds, we were not able to renew all maturing deposits. Customers with maturing CD's in 2013 were offered lower rates at renewal resulting in some customers choosing not to renew or investing in other products.

The increase in demand deposits and the continued effort to reprice higher cost interest-bearing deposits, resulted in an average cost of funds of 38 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to 52 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

The following table shows the composition of deposits as of the dates indicated.

Borrowings and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

The following table outlines our various sources of borrowed funds for the three months endedMarch 31, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2012, the amounts outstanding at the end of each period, the maximum amount for each component during such period, the average amounts outstanding for each period and the average interest rate that we paid for each borrowing source. The maximum month-end balance represents the high indebtedness for each component of borrowed funds at any time during each of the periods shown. The Bank has participation agreements with various provisions regarding collateral position, pricing and other matters where the junior participation interests were sold. The terms of the agreements do not convey proportionate ownership rights with equal priority to each participating interest and entitles the Bank to receive principal and interest payments before other participating interest holders. Therefore, the participations sold do not qualify for sale treatment in accordance with guidance provided in ASC Topic 860, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, because they do not qualify as participating interests. The Bank recorded the transactions as secured borrowings. At March 31, 2013, the balances of the secured borrowings were $3.9 million, an increase of approximately $1.3 million from December 31, 2012. The loans are recorded at their gross balances outstanding on the balance sheet.

Capital Resources

We strive to maintain an adequate capital base to support our activities in a safe manner while at the same time attempting to maximize shareholder returns. At March 31, 2013, shareholders' equity was $426.9 million, or 16.2% of total assets, compared to $430.2 million, or 16.2% of total assets, at December 31, 2012. The primary factors affecting changes in shareholder's equity were our net loss and increases in accumulated other comprehensive income during the first three months of 2013, net of dividends declared and paid.

Federal regulations impose minimum regulatory capital requirements on all institutions with deposits insured by the FDIC. The Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") imposes similar capital regulations on bank holding companies. To be considered "well capitalized" under capital guidelines, the Bank must maintain total risk-based capital, Tier I capital and leverage ratios of 10%, 6%, and 5%, respectively. To be considered "adequately capitalized" under capital guidelines, the Company must maintain total risk-based capital of 8% and Tier I and leverage ratios of 4%. At March 31, 2013, we exceeded all minimum regulatory capital requirements as shown in the table below.

Tier 1 capital decreased and Tier 2 capital increased during the three months endedMarch 31, 2013 from December 31, 2012. Tier 1 Risk-based Capital and Total Risk-based capital ratios decreased for the same period. The decrease in Tier 1 capital was mainly a result of the net loss and dividends paid during the first quarter of 2013. The Tier 2 capital increase was a result of the increase in risk-weighted assets from December 31, 2012. The increase in risk-weighted assets was attributable in large part to the increase in our noncovered loan portfolio at higher risk-weights compared to the decrease in our covered loan portfolio at lower risk-weights.

The following table shows the Bank's and the Company's regulatory capital ratios for the periods presented.

	March 31, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Bank		Company		Bank		Company
Leverage ratio	13.23	%	15.51	%	14.14	%	15.49	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio	24.02	%	28.17	%	26.68	%	29.25	%
Total risk-based capital ratio	25.29	%	29.45	%	27.98	%	30.54	%

The Company, the Bank, and certain of the Bank's executive officers entered into a Capital Maintenance Agreement with the FDIC. Under the terms of the agreement, the Bank must at all times maintain a leverage ratio of at least 10% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 12%. The agreement terminates on December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, the Bank was in compliance with the Capital Maintenance Agreement.

Regulatory policy statements generally provide that bank holding companies should pay dividends only out of current operating earnings and that the level of dividends must be consistent with current and expected capital requirements. Dividends received from our subsidiary bank have been our primary source of funds available for the payment of dividends to our shareholders. Federal and state banking laws and regulations restrict the amount of dividends subsidiary banks may distribute without prior regulatory approval. As of March 31, 2013, our subsidiary bank had no dividend capacity to pay dividends to us without prior regulatory approval. On March 19, 2013 the Company paid a cash dividend of $.03 per common share to its shareholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

       Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as the customer has not violated any material condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. At March 31, 2013, unfunded commitments to extend credit were $227.1 million. A significant portion of the unfunded commitments related to commercial and residential real estate and consumer equity lines of credit. Based on experience, we anticipate that a significant portion of these lines of credit will not be funded. We evaluate each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the borrower. The type of collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and commercial and residential real estate.

53

       At March 31, 2013, there were commitments totaling approximately $2.4 million under letters of credit. The credit risk and collateral involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Because most of the letters of credit are expected to expire without being drawn upon, they do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

      We use interest rate swaps and caps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. As of March 31, 2013, we had interest rate swaps and caps with aggregate notional amounts of $116.6 million and $200.0 million, respectively. The fair value of these derivative financial assets were $3.3 million as of March 31, 2013, compared to $53,000 as of December 31, 2012. The fair value of the derivative financial liabilities were $2.4 million as of March 31, 2013, compared to the fair value of $2.6 million as of December 31, 2012. Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements located in Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q provides additional information on these contracts.

Except as disclosed in Note 12 of this quarterly report, we are not involved in off-balance sheet contractual relationships or commitments, unconsolidated related entities that have off-balance sheet arrangements, or other off-balance sheet transactions that could result in liquidity needs that significantly impact earnings.

Contractual Obligations

       In the normal course of business, we have various outstanding contractual obligations that will require future cash outflows. The following table presents our largest contractual obligations as of March 31, 2013.

	Payments Due by Period
(in thousands)	Total		Less than 1 year		1 to 3 years		3 to 5 years		More than 5 years
Operating lease obligations	$	20,966	$	1,701	$	4,086	$	3,823	$	11,356

The Bank did not enter into any significant operating lease agreements during the three months endedMarch 31, 2013.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents the ability of a company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss, and the ability to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves monitoring our sources and uses of funds to meet the operating, capital and strategic needs of the Company and the Bank. Liquidity management is made more complicated because different balance sheet components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of our investment portfolio is fairly predictable and subject to a high degree of control when we make investment decisions. Net deposit inflows and outflows, however, are far less predictable and are not subject to the same degree of certainty.

The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through scheduled payments, maturities and repayments of loans and investment securities. Cash and short-term investments such as federal funds sold and maturing interest-bearing deposits with other banks are also sources of funding. As we dispose of our covered loans and assets, the collection of the FDIC receivable provides an additional source of funding.

At March 31, 2013, our liquid assets, which consist of cash and amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions and federal funds sold, amounted to $468.1 million, or 17.7% of total assets. Our available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2013 amounted to $351.5 million, or 13.3% of total assets. Investment securities and lines of credit traditionally provide a secondary source of liquidity because they can be converted into cash in a timely manner.

The liability portion of the balance sheet serves as our primary source of liquidity. We plan to meet our future cash needs through the generation of deposits. Core customer deposits have historically provided a sizeable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. At March 31, 2013, core deposits were 145.7% of net loans, compared with 147.3% at December 31, 2012. We maintain seven federal funds lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling $160.0 million. We are also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB), from whom we can borrow for leverage or liquidity purposes. The FHLB requires that securities and qualifying loans be pledged to secure any advances. At March 31, 2013, we had no advances from the FHLB and a remaining credit availability of $62.9 million. In addition, we maintain a line with the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window of $17.1 million secured by certain loans in our loan portfolio.

54

As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, effective as of December 31, 2010, unlimited FDIC insurance coverage for noninterest-bearing demand transaction accounts was extended through December 31, 2012. This component of the Dodd-Frank Act served to extend unlimited insurance coverage which was initially established by the FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee Program (TAGP) on October 13, 2008. Under the law, insurance coverage for noninterest-bearing demand deposits declined to a level of $250,000 per depositor after December 31, 2012. The Bank did not experience any significant liquidity event due to the expiration of TAGP nor does it anticipate any future liquidity event as a result of the expiration.

Asset-Liability Management

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates, which principally arise from interest rate risk inherent in our lending, investing, deposit gathering and borrowing activities. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not generally arise in the normal course of our business. Asset/liability management is the process by which we monitor and control the mix and maturities of our assets and liabilities. The essential purposes of asset/liability management are to ensure adequate liquidity and to maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive assets and liabilities to minimize potentially adverse effects on earnings from changes in market interest rates. Our Risk Committee monitors and considers methods of managing exposure to interest rate risk. The Risk Committee is responsible for maintaining the level of interest rate sensitivity of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities within board-approved limits.

Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of the portfolio of assets and liabilities. Interest rate sensitivity management focuses on the maturity structure of assets and liabilities and their repricing characteristics during periods of changes in market interest rates. Effective interest rate sensitivity management seeks to ensure that both assets and liabilities respond to changes in interest rates within an acceptable time-frame that minimizes the changes in net interest income.

In the event of a shift in interest rates, management may take certain actions intended to mitigate the negative impact on net interest income or to maximize the positive impact on net interest income. These actions may include, but are not limited to, restructuring of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, seeking alternative funding sources or investment opportunities, modifying the pricing or terms of loans and deposits and using derivatives. 

We regularly review our exposure to changes in interest rates. Among the factors we consider are changes in the mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, interest rate spreads and repricing periods. Typically, our Risk Committee reviews, on at least a quarterly basis, our interest rate risk position. The primary tool used to analyze our interest rate risk and interest rate sensitivity is an earnings simulation model. The Bank also monitors the present value of assets and liabilities under various interest rate scenarios, and, to a lesser extent, monitoring the difference, or gap, between rate sensitive assets and liabilities.

This earnings simulation model projects a baseline net interest income (assuming no changes in interest rate levels) and estimates changes to that baseline net interest income resulting from changes in interest rate levels. We rely primarily on the results of this model in evaluating our interest rate risk. This model incorporates a number of additional factors including: (1) the expected exercise of call features on various assets and liabilities, (2) the expected rates at which various rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities will reprice, (3) the expected growth in various interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the expected interest rates on new assets and liabilities, (4) the expected relative movements in different interest rate indexes which are used as the basis for pricing or repricing various assets and liabilities, (5) existing and expected contractual cap and floor rates on various assets and liabilities, (6) expected changes in administered rates on interest-bearing transaction, savings, money market and time deposit accounts and the expected impact of competition on the pricing or repricing of such accounts, (7) cash flow and accretion expectations from loans acquired in FDIC transactions, and (8) other relevant factors. Inclusion of these factors in the model is intended to more accurately project our expected changes in net interest income resulting from interest rate changes. We typically model our changes in net interest income assuming interest rates go up 100 basis points, up 200 basis points, down 100 basis points and down 200 basis points. For purposes of this model, we have assumed that the changes in interest rates phase in over a 12-month period. While we believe this model provides a reasonably accurate projection of our interest rate risk, the model includes a number of assumptions and predictions which may or may not be correct and may impact the model results. These assumptions and predictions include inputs to compute baseline net interest income, growth rates, expected changes in administered rates on interest-bearing deposit accounts, competition and a variety of other factors that are difficult to accurately predict. Accordingly, there can be no assurance the earnings simulation model will accurately reflect future results.

55

The following table presents the earnings simulation model's projected impact of a change in interest rates on the projected baseline net interest income for the 12-month period commencing April 1, 2013. Based on the simulation run at March 31, 2013, annual net interest income would be expected to decrease approximately .32%, if rates increased from current rates by 100 basis points. If rates increased 200 basis points from current rates, net interest income is projected to increase approximately .81%. If they decreased 100 basis points from current rates, net interest income is projected to increase 1.31%. This change in interest rates assumes parallel shifts in the yield curve and does not take into account changes in the slope of the yield curve

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

       Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets, as well as any accretion income on covered loans under our loss share agreements with the FDIC, and interest incurred on interest-bearing liabilities and is our primary source of earnings. Net interest income depends upon the relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the ratio of interest-earning assets to total assets and of interest-bearing liabilities to total funding sources and movements in market interest rates.

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis (TE) was $35.5 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The relatively flat change in net interest income resulted from lower accretion income on our covered loan portfolio, which was down $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, being mostly offset by a $2.5 million increase in interest income on noncovered loans for the three months endedMarch 31, 2013. In addition, interest expense on deposits declined $880,000 for the three months endedMarch 31, 2013, compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2012, as we continue to improve our deposits mix and reprice higher cost time deposits.

The decrease in interest expense on deposits resulted from a decline in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits to .45% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to .59% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and a $172.1 million decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits outstanding from March 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013. The decrease in the average rate paid on deposits was a result of an overall decrease in market rates across all deposit products and a concerted effort to reduce our cost of funding. Also contributing to the overall lower rate paid was a shift in deposit mix away from higher cost time deposits to lower cost transaction deposits.

Our overall yield on average earning assets decreased 70 basis points to 6.90% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to March 31, 2012. Our net interest margin (TE) decreased 50 basis points to 6.53% at March 31, 2013 from 7.03% at March 31, 2012. The overall decrease in the yield on earning assets and our net interest margin is a combination of the loan portfolio shifting from higher yielding covered loans to lower yielding noncovered loans as well as the lower cost of funding. Our noncovered loan yields continued to trend downward through the first quarter of 2013, declining 81 basis points from March 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of competitive pressures and the prolonged low interest rate environment. Offsetting this decline was the continued volatility in our covered loan yields, which resulted in a 787 basis point increase in covered loan yields for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. This volatility is a result of, but not limited to, increases in estimated cash flows on covered loans, earlier than expected payoffs on covered loans and gains on closeouts of covered pools. Our cost of funds remained relatively flat at 38 and 39 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Also attributing to the decline in the net interest margin year over year is the decreased yield in the investment portfolio. The higher yielding non-agency mortgage backed securities have become a smaller percentage of the portfolio. Cash flows from these securities were reinvested into lower yielding agency backed securities thus lowering the overall yield. The change in the portfolio mix in order to reduce our credit risk in the bond portfolio is expected to produce lower overall yields, especially during this low rate environment.

Net interest income can be analyzed in terms of the impact of changing interest rates and changing volumes.  The following table reflects the effect that varying levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the applicable rates have had on changes in net interest income for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2013
	vs. March 31, 2012
	Change Attributable to
	Volume			Rate			Total Increase (Decrease) (1)
Interest income:
Noncovered loans	$	12,583		$	(10,098	)	$	2,485
Covered loans	(48,264		)	45,410			(2,854		)
Taxable investment securities	(160		)	(433		)	(593		)
Nontaxable investment securities	3			(34		)	(31		)
Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions	362			(213		)	149
Total interest income	(35,476		)	34,632			(844		)
Interest expense:
Total deposits	(211		)	(669		)	(880		)
Notes payable	—			24			24
Total interest expense	(211		)	(645		)	(856		)
Net interest income	$	(35,265	)	$	35,277		$	12

(1) Amounts shown as increase (decrease) due to changes in either volume or rate includes an allocation of the amount that reflects the interaction of volume and rate changes. This allocation is based on the absolute dollar amounts of change due solely to changes in volume or rate.

Provision for Loan Losses

We have established an allowance for loan losses on both noncovered and covered loans through a provision for loan losses charged as an expense on our consolidated statements of operation.

We review our noncovered loan portfolio, consisting of loans that are not covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC, on a quarterly basis to evaluate our outstanding loans and to measure both the performance of the portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Please see the discussion above, under “Balance Sheet Review — Allowance for Loan Losses,” for a description of the factors we consider in determining the amount of periodic provision expense to maintain this allowance.

There was no allowance for loan losses at the dates of acquisition for the covered loans in our loan portfolio that we acquired under loss share agreements with the FDIC because we recorded these loans at fair value at the time of each respective acquisition. We periodically evaluate the recorded investment in our covered loans and compare our actual losses to our estimated losses to determine whether additional allowance is necessary. This quarterly re-estimation of cash flows expected to be collected is updated based on changes to assumptions regarding default rates, loss severities and other factors that are reflective of current market conditions. If our re-estimated losses exceed the last estimated losses, we record a provision on our consolidated statements of income. In that event, due to the FDIC loss share agreements, we would bear a net expense between 5% and 20% of the estimated loss, depending upon the applicable loss share agreement to which the loss is related. Conversely, if expected cash flows improve from the last estimates, any previous impairment is partially or fully reversed and an adjustment to yield is recognized over the remaining life of the loan or pool of loans, as applicable.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded loan loss provisions of $350,000 on noncovered loans compared to $1.5 million recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The amount of noncovered loan loss provision recorded in each period was the amount required such that the total allowance for loan losses reflected the appropriate balance, in management's opinion, to sufficiently cover probable losses in the noncovered loan portfolio. Net recoveries on noncovered loans for three months ended March 31, 2013 were $112,000, or .05% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs on noncovered loans of $61,000, or .03% of average loans for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

58

The provision for loan losses on covered loans was a negative $(2.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to a provision of $(1.3) million for the same period in 2012. The amount of covered loan loss provision recorded in each period was the result of re-estimated cash flows. When re-estimated cash flows are less than original estimates, an immediate recognition through a provision for loan losses is recorded. Conversely, when expected cash flows improve from original estimates, any previous impairment is partially or fully reversed and an adjustment to yield is recognized over the remaining life of the loan or pool, which occurred for certain other covered loans and loan pools during both 2013 and 2012.

Noninterest Income

 Our noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled a negative $(12.6) million, down$8.3 million compared to the same period in 2012. The following table presents the components of noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31
	2013			2012
Amortization of FDIC receivable for loss share agreements	$	(16,779	)	$	(7,010	)
Service charges on deposits	1,215			1,212
Mortgage banking income	306			302
Gain on sale of investment securities	364			93
Payroll fee income	832			—
ATM income	605			585
Other	854			559
Total noninterest income	$	(12,603	)	$	(4,259	)

Net amortization of the FDIC receivable totaled $(16.8) million for three months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $9.8 million from the $7.0 million in net amortization for the same period in 2012. To the extent that currently estimated cash flows on covered loans are more than originally estimated and therefore projected losses are less than originally expected, the related reimbursements from the FDIC contemplated in the indemnification assets are less, which produces amortization of those excess indemnification assets in noninterest income. At the same time, lower projected losses cause loan accretion yields to increase over the remaining life of the applicable covered loans. The increase in amortization expense of the FDIC receivable is due to changes in assumptions during the quarterly re-estimation of cash flows and the short average remaining term of the loss share period.

Payroll fee income of $832,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was the result of the acquisition of the assets and business of Altera Payroll, Inc. during the fourth quarter of 2012.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 totaled $26.7 million, up$4.0 million for the same period in 2012. The following table presents the components of noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31
	2013		2012
Salaries and employee benefits	$	17,395	$	12,963
Occupancy and equipment	2,456		2,457
Legal and professional fees	1,601		1,517
Marketing	328		264
Federal insurance premiums and other regulatory fees	469		418
Net cost of operations of real estate owned	1,288		1,558
Data processing	1,437		1,864
Amortization of intangibles	370		246
Other	1,320		1,406
Total noninterest expense	$	26,664	$	22,693

Salaries and employee benefits is the single largest component of noninterest expense, which increased $4.4 million, or 34.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase can be attributed to several events that occurred throughout the year. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, a one-time severance expense of $1.6 million was recognized related to ongoing efficiency improvements. The first quarter of 2012 included a $1.4 million expense recovery on a previously recorded incentive accrual. The remaining increase is largely attributable to the addition of key positions in risk and support areas and employee merit increases.

Data processing expense decreased $427,000, or 22.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to 2012. The decrease is related to the data system conversions of Piedmont Community Bank and Community Capital Bank which occurred during the first quarter of 2012.

Income Taxes

       Income tax expense is composed of both state and federal income tax expense. Income tax expense declined$3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, as a result of a decrease in taxable income, as well as, steps taken by management to utilize various available tax credits to reduce state income taxes.
