Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
	Park Sterling Corporation (the “Company”) was formed in 2010 to serve as the holding company for Park Sterling Bank (the “Bank”) pursuant to a bank holding company reorganization effective January 1, 2011, and is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). The Bank is a North Carolina-chartered commercial nonmember bank that was incorporated in September 2006 and opened for business at 1043 E. Morehead Street, Suite 201, Charlotte, North Carolina on October 25, 2006. At December 31, 2014, the Company’s primary operations and business were that of owning the Bank. Prior to January 1, 2011, the Company conducted no operations other than obtaining regulatory approval for the holding company reorganization. The main office of both the Company and the Bank is located at 1043 E. Morehead Street, Suite 201, Charlotte, North Carolina, 28204, and its phone number is (704) 716-2134.
	In August 2010, the Bank raised gross proceeds of $150 million in an equity offering (the “Public Offering”), to facilitate a change in the Bank’s business plan from primarily organic growth at a moderate pace to creating a regional community bank through a combination of mergers and acquisitions and accelerated organic growth. Consistent with this growth strategy, over the past several years the Bank has opened additional branches in North Carolina and South Carolina and in 2014 expanded into the Virginia market through the opening of a loan production office, followed by the opening of a full-service branch, in Richmond, Virginia. In addition, since the Public Offering, the Company has completed the following acquisitions of community banks in its existing or targeted markets:
		●	In May 2014, the Company acquired Provident Community Bancshares, Inc. (“Provident Community”), the parent company of Provident Community Bank, N.A., which operated nine branches in South Carolina.
		●	In October 2012, the Company acquired Citizens South Banking Corporation (“Citizens South”), the parent company of Citizens South Bank, which operated 21 branches in North Carolina, South Carolina and North Georgia.
		●	In November 2011, the Company acquired Community Capital Corporation (“Community Capital”), the parent company of CapitalBank, which operated 18 branches in the Upstate and Midlands area of South Carolina.
	Each of these banks has merged into the Bank.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Basis of Presentation - The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and prevailing practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and the Company. The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing of the consolidated financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
	Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, nonaccretable discounts, purchase accounting accretion adjustments, realization of deferred tax assets and the fair value of financial instruments and other accounts.
	Segments - The Company, through the Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies. These services include personal, business and non-profit checking accounts, IOLTA accounts, individual retirement accounts, business and personal money market accounts, time deposits, overdraft protection, safe deposit boxes and online and mobile banking. Lending activities include a range of short-to medium-term commercial (including asset-based lending), real estate, construction, residential mortgage and home equity and consumer loans, as well as long-term residential mortgages. Wealth management activities include investment management, personal trust services, and investment brokerage services. Cash management activities include remote deposit capture, lockbox services, sweep accounts, purchasing cards, ACH and wire payments. Capital markets activities include interest rate and currency risk management products, loan syndications and debt placements. While the Company's decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various financial products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on an organization-wide basis. Accordingly, the Company's banking and finance operations are not considered by management to constitute more than one reportable operating segment.
	Reclassifications - Certain noninterest income reported in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation. Reclassifications include amortization of indemnification asset and loss share true-up liability expense previously disclosed in other noninterest income which are now reported as separate line items. The reclassification had no effect on net income, comprehensive income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.
	Business Combinations, Method of Accounting for Loans Acquired, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) Indemnification Asset – Generally, acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. A business combination occurs when the Company acquires net assets that constitute a business, or acquires equity interests in one or more other entities that are businesses and obtains control over those entities. Business combinations are effected through the transfer of consideration consisting of cash and/or common stock and are accounted for using the acquisition method. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are recorded at their respective fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, especially the loan portfolio, is a complicated process involving significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. The results of operations of an acquired entity are included in our consolidated results from the closing date of the merger, and prior periods are not restated. No allowance for loan losses related to the acquired loans is recorded on the acquisition date because the fair value of the loans acquired incorporates assumptions regarding future credit losses. Loans acquired are recorded at fair value exclusive of any loss share agreements with the FDIC. The fair value estimates associated with the acquired loans include estimates related to expected prepayments and the amount and timing of expected principal, interest and other cash flows.
	In connection with an acquisition the Company may assume purchase and assumption agreements that the acquired institution entered into with the FDIC, providing for loss share agreements related to the covered assets. The Bank records an estimated receivable from the FDIC in connection with such loss share agreements. The FDIC indemnification asset is measured separately from the related covered assets as it is not contractually embedded in the assets and is not transferable with the assets, without approval of the FDIC, should the Company choose to dispose of them. Fair value is estimated at the acquisition date using projected cash flows related to the loss sharing agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses and the applicable loss sharing percentages. These expected reimbursements do not include reimbursable amounts related to future covered expenditures. These cash flows are discounted to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss sharing reimbursement from the FDIC. The Company will offset any recorded provision for loan losses related to acquired loans by recording an increase in the FDIC indemnification asset in an amount equal to the increase in expected cash flow, which is the result of a decrease in expected cash flow of acquired loans. An increase in expected cash flows on acquired loans results in a decrease in cash flows on the FDIC indemnification asset, which is recognized in the future as amortization through non-interest income over the lesser of the term of the loss share agreement or the life of the loan.
	The Company incurs expenses related to the assets indemnified by the FDIC, and pursuant to the loss share agreements certain costs are reimbursable by the FDIC and are included in quarterly claims made by the Company. The estimates of reimbursements are netted against these covered expenses in the income statement.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents - For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-earning balances at banks and Federal funds sold. Generally, Federal funds sold are repurchased the following day.
	Investment Securities - Investment securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value and consist of debt instruments that are not classified as trading securities or as held to maturity securities. Investment securities held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method and are recorded on a trade date basis. Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their amortized cost that are other than temporary impairments would result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value and would be included in earnings as realized losses. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.
	Nonmarketable Equity Securities – Nonmarketable equity securities include the costs of the Company’s investments in the stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”). As a condition of membership, the Bank is required to hold stock in the FHLB. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value as their ownership is restricted and there is no market for these securities. The Bank carries these nonmarketable equity securities at cost and periodically evaluates them for impairment. Management considers these nonmarketable equity securities to be long-term investments. Accordingly, when evaluating these securities for impairment, management considers the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. The primary factor supporting the carrying value of these securities is the commitment of the FHLB to perform its obligations, which includes providing credit and other services to the Bank. Upon request, the stock may be sold back to the FHLB, at cost.
	The Company has invested in the stock of several unaffiliated financial institutions. The Company owns less than five percent of the outstanding shares of each institution, and the stocks either have no quoted market value or are not readily marketable. Also included in nonmarketable equity securities is the investment in CSBC Statutory Trust I, Community Capital Corporation Statutory Trust I, Provident Community Bancshares Capital Trust I and Provident Community Bancshares Capital Trust II. See Note 4 – Investments and Note 11 – Borrowings.
	Loans Held for Sale – Loans intended for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. This includes, but may not be limited to, loans originated through the Company’s mortgage activities. Residential mortgage loans originated and intended for sale are comprised of accepting residential mortgage loan applications, qualifying borrowers to standards established by investors, funding residential mortgages and selling mortgages to investors under pre-existing commitments.
	Loans –Loans originated by the Company and which management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for any direct principal charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest on originated loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan. See Note 5 – Loans.
	Purchased Credit-Impaired (“PCI”) Loans - Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition without the carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. PCI loans are accounted for under the “Receivables” topic of the ASC when the loans have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Company will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the date of acquisition may include statistics such as internal risk grades and past due and nonaccrual status. Purchased impaired loans generally meet the Company’s definition for nonaccrual status. Any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the nonaccretable difference, and is available to absorb credit losses on those loans. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses. Subsequent significant increases in cash flows result in a reversal of the provision for loan losses to the extent of prior charges, or a reclassification of the nonaccretable difference with a positive impact on future interest income. For acquired loans subject to a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC, the FDIC indemnification asset will be adjusted prospectively in a similar, consistent manner with increases and decreases in expected cash flows limited to the term of the loss share agreements.
	Purchased Performing Loans – The Company accounts for performing loans acquired in business combinations using the contractual cash flows method of recognizing discount accretion based on the acquired loans’ contractual cash flows. Purchased performing loans are recorded at fair value, including a credit discount. The fair value discount is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated lives of the loans. There is no allowance for loan losses established at the acquisition date for purchased performing loans. A provision for loan losses is recorded for any further deterioration in these loans subsequent to the acquisition.
	Nonperforming Loans – For all classes of loans, except PCI loans, loans are placed on non-accrual status upon becoming contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest (unless they are adequately secured by collateral, are in the process of collection and are reasonably expected to result in repayment), when terms are renegotiated below market levels in response to a financially distressed borrower or guarantor, or where substantial doubt about full repayment of principal or interest is evident.
	When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is reversed and the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. All payments received on non-accrual loans are applied against the principal balance of the loan. A loan may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and when doubt about repayment is resolved. Generally, for all classes of loans, a charge-off is recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and when it is possible to determine a reasonable estimate of the loss.
	Impaired Loans – For all classes of loans, except PCI loans, loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impaired loans may include all classes of nonaccrual loans and loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the interest rate implicit in the original agreement or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is probable, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.
	Loans Modified in a TDR - Loans are considered to be a TDR if, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial condition, the Company makes certain concessions to the original contract terms related to amount, interest rate, amortization or maturity that it would not otherwise consider. Generally, a nonaccrual loan that has been modified in a TDR remains on nonaccrual status for a period of at least six months to demonstrate that the borrower is able to meet the terms of the modified loan. However, performance prior to the modification, or significant events that coincide with the modification, are included in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual status at the time of loan modification or after a shorter performance period. If the borrower's ability to meet the revised payment schedule is uncertain, the loan remains on nonaccrual status.
	Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses is based upon management's ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio and reflects an amount considered by management to be its best estimate of known and inherent losses in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. In making the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers current economic and market conditions, independent loan reviews performed periodically by third parties, portfolio trends and concentrations, delinquency information, management's internal review of the loan portfolio, internal historical loss rates and other relevant factors. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations. In addition, regulatory examiners may require the Company to recognize changes to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Although provisions have been established by loan segments based upon management's assessment of their differing inherent loss characteristics, the entire allowance for losses on loans, other than the portions related to PCI loans and specific reserves on impaired loans, is available to absorb further loan losses in any segment. Further information regarding the Company’s policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan losses is presented in Note 5 – Loans.
	Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) - Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is held for sale and is recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and further write-downs are made based on these valuations. Revenue and expenses from operations are included in other expense.
	Premises and Equipment - Company premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 39.5 years for buildings and 3 to 7 years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the term of the respective lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred and additions and improvements to premises and equipment are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in current operations.
	Goodwill andIntangible Assets - Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill and core deposit intangibles that result from the acquisition of other banks. Core deposit intangibles represent the value of long-term deposit relationships acquired in these transactions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the sum of the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less the estimated fair value of the liabilities assumed. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value.
	The goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step test. The first step, used to identify potential impairment, involves comparing the reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, there is an indication of potential impairment and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment of goodwill assigned to that reporting unit.
	If required, the second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to the amount of goodwill calculated in a business combination, by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, as determined in the first step, over the aggregate estimated fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying value of the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. An impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit, and the loss establishes a new basis of goodwill.
	In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, which gives entities the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to test goodwill for impairment on a reporting-unit-by-reporting-unit basis. If, after performing the qualitative assessment, an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity would perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC 350. However, if, after applying the qualitative assessment, the entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required.
	The Company performed the qualitative assessment as outlined in ASU 2011-08 in assessing the carrying value of goodwill related to its acquisitions as of October 1, 2014, its annual test date, and determined that it was unlikely that the fair value was less than the carrying amount and that no further testing or impairment charge was necessary. Should the Company’s future earnings and cash flows decline and/or discount rates increase, an impairment charge to goodwill and other intangible assets may be required. There have been no events subsequent to the October 1, 2014 evaluation that caused the Company to perform an interim review of the carrying value of goodwill related to any of its acquisitions.
	Core deposit intangibles are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the deposit accounts acquired (generally ten years on a straight line basis).
	Investment in a Qualified Affordable Housing Project - The Company currently invests in the Community Affordable Housing Equity Corporation (“CAHEC”), a qualified affordable housing project. CAHEC assists in providing low-income housing and historic preservation in the United States. The Company assumed this investment in connection with the acquisition of Provident Community. As of December 31, 2014, the Company holds an investment of $508 thousand which is recorded in other assets on the balance sheet. There are no commitments or contingent commitments to provide additional capital. In connection with the investment in CAHEC, the Company recognized a net income tax benefit of approximately $10 thousand in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2014. No impairment was recognized or identified for this investment at December 31, 2014.
	Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase – The Company sells certain securities under agreements to repurchase. The agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The dollar amount of the securities underlying the agreements remains in the asset accounts.
	Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and advertising communication costs the first time the advertising takes place. The Company may establish accruals for anticipated advertising expenses within the course of a fiscal year.
	Income Taxes - Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities (excluding deferred tax assets and liabilities related to components of other comprehensive income). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the expected amount most likely to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets generally is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income and recoverable taxes paid in prior years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as state and local income tax in several jurisdictions. Tax years 2011 through 2014 remain open to examination by the Federal taxing authority. Interest and penalties on income tax assessments or income tax refunds are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of noninterest expense.
	Per Share Results - Basic and diluted earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if all dilutive stock options were exercised.
	In 2012, the Company issued 78,000 restricted stock awards, and repurchased 3,000 shares of common stock in open market transactions pursuant to the stock repurchase program approved by the board of directors in November 2012. Also in 2012, the Company issued 11,857,226 shares of Common Stock in connection with the merger with Citizens South. In 2013, the Company issued 174,000 restricted stock awards, issued 60,943 shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options and repurchased 56,267 shares in open market transactions. In 2014, the Company issued 238,613 restricted stock awards, issued 54,199 shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options, repurchased 136,743 shares of Common Stock in open market transactions and acquired 19,942 shares in connection with satisfaction of tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock.
	Basic and diluted earnings per common share have been computed based upon net income as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding or assumed to be outstanding as summarized below in each case as of December 31,:
		2014		2013		2012
	Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excluding unvested restricted shares		43,924,457		43,965,408		35,101,407
	Effect of dilutive stock options and unvested shares		322,543		87,845		6,822
	Weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding		44,247,000		44,053,253		35,108,229
	There were 1,927,740 outstanding stock options and 842,170 outstanding restricted shares that were anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2014. There were 243,617 dilutive stock options and 78,925 dilutive restricted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2014. There were 2,177,592 outstanding stock options and 730,514 outstanding restricted shares outstanding that were anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were 47,959 dilutive stock options and 39,885 dilutive restricted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were 3,118,891 outstanding stock options and 640,239 outstanding restricted shares outstanding that were anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2012. There were 801 dilutive stock options and 6,021 dilutive restricted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2012. See Note 20 – Employee and Director Benefit Plans for more information.
	Share-Based Compensation - The Company may grant share-based compensation to employees, non-employee directors and other eligible parties in the form of stock options, restricted stock or other instruments. Share-based compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant and is charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is currently up to seven years. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and related assumptions. The amortization of share-based compensation is adjusted for actual forfeiture experience. The fair value of restricted stock awards, subject to share price performance vesting requirements, is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation and related estimated assumptions for volatility and a risk free interest rate.
	The compensation expense for share-based compensation plans was $1.1 million, $1.8 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities - The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements, considered to be cash flow hedges, as part of the management of interest rate risk to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of its portfolios of interest-bearing liabilities. Under the guidelines of ASC 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging,” all derivative instruments are required to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet.
	Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either a freestanding asset or liability, with a corresponding offset recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity, net of tax. Amounts are reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Cash flows from cash flow hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. Derivative gains and losses not effective in hedging the expected cash flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in the income statement. At the hedge’s inception and at least quarterly thereafter, a formal assessment is performed to determine the effectiveness of the cash flow hedge. If it is determined that a derivative instrument has not been or will not continue to be highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued. See Note 17 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.
	Fair value hedges are accounted for under ASC Topic 815 which requires that the method selected for assessing hedge effectiveness must be reasonable, be defined at the inception of the hedging relationship and be applied consistently throughout the hedging relationship. The Company uses the dollar-offset method for assessing effectiveness using the cumulative approach. The dollar-offset method compares the fair value of the hedging derivative with the fair value of the hedged exposure. The cumulative approach involves comparing the cumulative changes in the hedging derivative’s fair value to the cumulative changes in the hedged exposure’s fair value. The calculation of dollar offset is the change in clean fair value of the hedging derivative, divided by the change in fair value of the hedged exposure attributable to changes in the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve. To the extent that the cumulative change in fair value of the hedging derivative offsets from 80% to 125% of the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged exposure, the hedge will be deemed effective. The change in fair value of the hedging derivative and the change in fair value of the hedged exposure are recorded in earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness is also reflected in current earnings. Cash flows from fair value hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.
	If a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge is terminated or the hedge designation removed, the difference between a hedged item’s then carrying amount and its face amount is recognized into income over the original hedge period. Likewise, if a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is terminated or the hedge designation removed, related amounts accumulated in other accumulated comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings over the original hedge period during which the hedged item affects income.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements – The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements:
	In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-01, "Investments --Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects". This update revises the criteria required to elect the measurement and presentation alternative under ASC 323-740 and simplifies the method of amortization of the investment for entities investing in flow-through limited liability entities that manage or invest in affordable housing projects qualifying for the low-income housing tax credit. The update allows entities that meet the required criteria to qualify to present the investment performance net of income tax expense to better represent the economics of the investment (rather than traditional investment accounting under the equity or cost method). If the entity qualifies for the measurement and presentation alternative, it may amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the related tax credits received (the proportional allocation method). The amendments must be retrospectively applied for all periods presented. For public business entities this update is effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2014. The related disclosures can be found in Note 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of these financial statements.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2014-04”). ASU 2014-04 amended the Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors subtopic of the ASC to address the reclassification of consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate upon foreclosure. The amendments clarify the criteria for concluding that an in-substance repossession or foreclosure has occurred, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. The amendments also outline interim and annual disclosure requirements. The amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Companies are allowed to use either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method when adopting this update. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 changes the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. The guidance will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures” (“ASU 2014-11”). ASU 2014-11 makes limited amendments to the guidance on accounting for certain repurchase agreements. The new guidance (1) requires entities to account for repurchase-to-maturity transactions as secured borrowings (rather than as sales with forward repurchase agreements), (2) eliminates accounting guidance on linked repurchase financing transactions, and (3) expands disclosure requirements related to certain transfers of financial assets that are accounted for as sales and certain transfers (specifically, repos, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions) accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments will be effective for the Company for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 clarifies that performance targets associated with stock compensation should be treated as a performance condition and should not be reflected in the grant date fair value of the stock award. The amendments will be effective for the Company for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2015. The Company will apply the guidance to all stock awards granted or modified after the amendments are effective. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors: Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure" (“ASU 2014-19”). This update addresses the diversity in practice regarding the classification and measurement of foreclosed loans which were part of a government-sponsored loan guarantee program. If certain criteria are met, the loan should be derecognized and a separate other receivable should be recorded upon foreclosure at the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. This update is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The update may be adopted either prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, provided the entity has adopted ASU 2014-04. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance but does not expect these updates to have a material effect on its financial statements.

	Provident Community Bancshares, Inc.
	On May 1, 2014, Provident Community was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 4, 2014. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, each share of Provident Community common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment from the Company equal to $0.78 per share, or approximately $1.4 million in the aggregate. In addition, immediately prior to completion of the merger, the Company purchased from the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) the issued and outstanding shares of Provident Community’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Provident Community Series A Preferred Stock”) and all of the related warrants to purchase shares of Provident Community’s common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.1 million (representing a 45% discount from face value). Thereafter, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the Provident Community Series A Preferred Stock and related warrants were cancelled in connection with the completion of the merger. Simultaneously with completion of the merger, Provident Community Bank, N.A. was merged into the Bank.
	The assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Provident Community were recorded at their fair value as of the closing date of the merger. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information regarding the closing date fair values becomes available. Goodwill of $3.4 million was initially recorded at the time of the acquisition. As a result of refinements to the fair value mark on loans, OREO, other assets and other liabilities, goodwill as indicated below is $2.8 million. The following table summarizes the consideration paid by the Company in the merger with Provident Community and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date:
		As Recorded by		Fair Value and Other
		Provident		Merger Related			As Recorded
		Community		Adjustments			by the Company

	The following table discloses certain pro forma information as if Provident Community had been acquired on January 1, 2014 and January 1, 2013, respectively. These results combine the historical results of Provident Community in the Company’s consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2014, and January 1, 2013. In particular, no adjustments have been made to eliminate the amount of Provident Community provision for loan losses of $500 thousand in 2013 or the impact of OREO write-downs recognized by Provident Community in 2014 that may not have been necessary had the acquired loans and OREO been recorded at fair value as of the beginning of 2014 or 2013. Acquisition-related costs of $3.6 million included in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2014 are not included in the proforma information below.

	Citizens South Banking Corporation
	On October 1, 2012, Citizens South was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving legal entity, in accordance with an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 13, 2012. Under the terms of the Citizens South merger agreement, Citizens South stockholders received either $7.00 in cash or 1.4799 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for each Citizens South share they owned immediately prior to the merger, subject to the limitation that the total consideration paid in the merger would consist of 30% in cash and 70% in Common Stock. The Citizens South merger was structured to be tax-free to Citizens South stockholders with respect to the shares of Common Stock received in the merger and taxable with respect to the cash received in the merger. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares. The aggregate merger consideration consisted of 11,857,226 shares of Common Stock and $24.3 million in cash. Based on the $4.94 per share closing price of the Common Stock on September 28, 2012, the last trading date prior to consummation of the merger, the transaction value was $82.9 million. In addition, in connection with the merger, the preferred stock previously issued by Citizens South to the Treasury in connection with Citizens South’s participation in the Small Business Lending Fund (the “SBLF”) program was converted to 20,500 shares of a substantially identical newly created series of the Company’s preferred stock. See Note 14 – Preferred Stock for further discussion. Also in connection with the merger, the Company assumed certain loss share agreements with the FDIC related to prior acquisitions by Citizens South. See Note 6 – FDIC Loss Share Agreements.

	In 2014, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) with a fair market value of $58.5 million were transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. These securities had an aggregate unrealized loss of $2.2 million ($1.5 million, net of tax) on the date of transfer. The net unamortized, unrealized loss on the transferred securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 totaled $2.1 million. This amount will be amortized out of accumulated other comprehensive income over the remaining life of the underlying securities as an adjustment of the yield on those securities. As a result, the amortized cost of these investments of $60.8 million is higher than the $58.0 million carrying value of the securities as of December 31, 2014. There were no transfers of securities during the year ended December 31, 2013.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, investment securities with a fair market value of $162.8 million and $99.5 million, respectively, were pledged to secure repurchase agreements, to secure public and trust deposits, to secure interest rate swaps, and for other purposes as required and permitted by law.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, commercial mortgage-backed obligations include $56.8 million and $55.7 million, respectively, of delegated underwriting and servicing (“DUS”) bonds collateralized by multi-family properties and backed by an agency of the United States government, and $6.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of private-label securities collateralized by commercial properties.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, asset-backed securities include a $6.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively, security that is equally collateralized by the Federal family education loan program and private student loan program.
	The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. All of the Company’s residential agency-pass through securities and residential collateralized mortgage obligations are backed by an agency of the United States government. None of our residential agency-pass through securities and residential collateralized mortgage obligations are private-label securities.

Management evaluates its investments quarterly for other than temporary impairment, relying primarily on industry analyst reports, observation of market conditions and interest rate fluctuations. The following table shows gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2014 and 2013. None of the securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired since none of the unrealized losses relate to the marketability of the securities or the issuer’s ability to honor redemption obligations, as all but one of the bonds are issued by United States government agencies with the remaining bond being partially guaranteed by a government agency, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis. At December 31, 2014, there are 23 securities in a loss position for twelve months or more. At December 31, 2013, five securities were in a loss position for twelve months or more.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) amended the Bank Holding Company Act (the “BHC Act”) to require the federal banking regulatory agencies to adopt rules that prohibit banks and their affiliates from engaging in proprietary trading and investing in and sponsoring a covered fund (such as a hedge fund and or private equity fund), commonly referred to as the “Volcker Rule.” In December 2013, the federal banking regulatory agencies adopted a final rule construing the Volcker Rule, effective April 1, 2014. Banking entities have until July 21, 2016 (expected to be extended to July 21, 2017) to conform their activities to the requirements of the rule. At December 31, 2013, the Company held four investments in senior tranches of collateralized loan obligations with a fair value of $23.6 million which were included in asset-backed securities. The collateral eligibility language in one of the securities, with a fair value of $5.0 million, was amended during the fourth quarter of 2013 to comply with the new bank investment criteria under the Volcker Rule. The Company also sold one of the securities for a loss of $33 thousand. The Company’s investments in the remaining two securities, which had a net unrealized loss of $232,000 at December 31, 2014, currently would be prohibited under the Volcker Rule. The Company will determine any disposition plans for these securities as the documentation is, or is not, amended. Unless the documentation is amended to avoid inclusion within the rule’s prohibitions, the Company would have to recognize other-than-temporary-impairment with respect to these securities in conformity with GAAP rules. The Company held no other security types potentially affected by the Volcker Rule at December 31, 2014.

The Company has nonmarketable equity securities consisting of investments in several unaffiliated financial institutions, as well as the investments in four statutory trusts. These investments totaled $11.5 million and $5.9 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Included in these amounts was $10.1 million and $4.9 million of FHLB stock at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. All nonmarketable equity securities were evaluated for impairment as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. The following factors have been considered in determining the carrying amount of FHLB stock: (1) management’s current belief that the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet all operational needs in the foreseeable future and would not need to dispose of the stock below recorded amounts, (2) management’s belief that the FHLB has the ability to absorb economic losses given the expectation that the FHLB has a high degree of government support and (3) redemptions and purchases of the stock are at the discretion of the FHLB. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company estimated that the fair values of nonmarketable equity securities equaled or exceeded the cost of each of these investments and, therefore, the investments were not impaired.

	Included in the loan totals at December 31, 2014 and 2013 is $42.3 million and $71.1 million, respectively, of covered loans pursuant to the FDIC loss share agreements. Of these amounts, at December 31, 2014 and 2013, $39.8 million and $68.0 million, respectively, is included in PCI loans and $2.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, is included in all other loans.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had sold participations in loans aggregating $6.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively, to other financial institutions on a nonrecourse basis. Collections on loan participations and remittances to participating institutions conform to customary banking practices.
	The Bank accepts residential mortgage loan applications and funds loans of qualified borrowers. Funded loans are sold with limited recourse to investors under the terms of pre-existing commitments. The Bank executes all of its loan sales agreements under best efforts contracts with investors. From time to time, the Company may choose to hold certain mortgage loans on balance sheet. In addition, as part of the Provident Community merger, the Company serviced $3.7 million residential mortgage loans for the benefit of others as of December 31, 2014. The Company did not service residential mortgage loans for the benefit of others as of December 31, 2013.
	Loans sold with limited recourse are 1-4 family residential mortgages originated by the Bank and sold to various other financial institutions. Various recourse agreements exist, ranging from thirty days to twelve months. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the loan is represented by the contractual notional amount of the loan. Since none of the loans have ever been returned to the Company, the amount of total loans sold with limited recourse does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Total loans sold with limited recourse in 2014 and 2013 was $58.8 million and $110.1 million, respectively.
	The outstanding principal balance and the carrying amount of acquired loans that were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date that are included in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	Concentrations of Credit - Loans are primarily made within the Company’s operating footprint of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Virginia. Real estate loans can be affected by the condition of the local real estate market. Commercial and industrial loans can be affected by the local economic conditions. The commercial loan portfolio has concentrations in business loans secured by real estate including construction loans and real estate development loans. Primary concentrations in the consumer loan portfolio include home equity lines of credit and residential mortgages. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no loans outstanding with non-United States entities.

The Company’s loan loss allowance methodology includes four components, as described below:
1)          Specific Reserve Component. Specific reserves represent the current impairment estimate on specific loans, for which it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to contractual terms based on current information and events. Impairment measurement reflects only a deterioration of credit quality and not changes in market rates that may cause a change in the fair value of the impaired loan. The amount of impairment may be measured in one of three ways, including (i) calculating the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s interest rate implicit in the original document and deducting estimated selling costs, if any; (ii) observing quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments traded in active markets, or employing model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market; and (iii) determining the fair value of collateral, which is utilized for both collateral-dependent loans and for loans when foreclosure is probable.
Impaired loans with a balance less than or equal to $150 thousand are viewed in two groups: those which have experienced charge-offs and those recorded at legal balance. Those loans which have experienced charge-offs have no additional reserve applied unless specifically calculated at a point in time when the loan balance exceeded $150 thousand. Those loans recorded at their legal balance are reserved for based on a pooled probability of default and loss given default calculation.
2)          Quantitative Reserve Component. Quantitative reserves represent the current loss contingency estimate on pools of loans, which is an estimate of the amount for which it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due on homogeneous groups of loans according to contractual terms should one or more events occur, excluding those loans specifically identified above.
The historical loss experience of the Company is collected quarterly by evaluating internal loss data. The estimated historical loss rates are grouped by loan product type. The Company utilizes average historical losses to represent management’s estimate of losses inherent in a particular portfolio. The historical look back period is estimated by loan type, and the Company applies the appropriate historical loss period which best reflects the inherent loss in the applicable portfolio considering prevailing market conditions.
In the past, the Company has recorded a minimum reserve as part of the quantitative component. A minimum reserve is utilized when the Company has insufficient internal loss history or when internal loss history falls below the minimum reserve percentage. Minimums are determined by analyzing Federal Reserve Bank charge-off data for all insured federal- and state-chartered commercial banks. During 2014, the Company determined that it would use the calculated average historical loss rates and adjust to the minimum reserve amounts in its qualitative component. This change represented a reclassification between components of the allowance and had no impact on the calculation in total.
During 2013, the Company segregated the AC&D portfolio into three collateral types: (i) 1-4 family construction, (ii) lots, land and development and (iii) CRE construction. These enhancements strengthen the granularity of the allowance methodology and are reflective of the distinctions in credit quality indicators for the three collateral types as well as the Company’s present origination activities.
The following look back periods were utilized by management in determining the quantitative reserve component at December 31, 2014 and 2013:
		December 31,
		2014			2013
Look back periods (in calendar quarters)
Commercial:
Commercial and industrial			15			15
CRE - owner-occupied			15			Minimum
CRE - investor income producing			15			15
AC&D - 1-4 family construction			15			15
AC&D - lots, land, & development			15			15
AC&D - CRE			15			Minimum
Other commercial			15			Minimum
Residential mortgage			15			12
HELOC			15			12
Residential construction			15			12
Other loans to individuals			15			Minimum
The changes in the look back periods noted above were made to provide a better estimate of the loss inherent in the portfolio for each loan category and to reflect the availability of loss history. The Company also performs a quantitative calculation on the acquired purchased performing loan portfolio. There is no allowance for loan losses established at the acquisition date for purchased performing loans. The historical loss experience discussed above is applied to the acquired purchased performing loan portfolio and the result is compared to the remaining fair value mark on this portfolio. A provision for loan losses is recorded for any further deterioration in these loans subsequent to the acquisition. At December 31, 2014, this analysis indicated a need for a $117 thousand provision for loan losses for the acquired purchased performing portfolio. There was no additional provision for loan losses for the acquired purchased performing portfolio as of December 31, 2013. The remaining mark on the acquired purchased performing loan portfolio was $3.0 million and $4.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
3)           Qualitative Reserve Component. Qualitative reserves represent an estimate of the amount for which it is probable that environmental or other relevant factors will cause the aforementioned loss contingency estimate to differ from the Company’s historical loss experience or other assumptions. These factors include portfolio trends, portfolio concentrations, economic and market conditions, changes in lending practices and other factors. In 2014, the Company introduced two new factors: changes in loan review systems and geographic considerations. Management believes these refinements simplify application of the qualitative component of the allowance methodology. Each of the factors, except other factors, can range from 0.00% (not applicable) to 0.15% (very high). Other factors are reviewed on a situational basis and are adjusted in 5 basis point increments, up or down, with a maximum of 0.50%. Details of the seven environmental factors for inclusion in the allowance methodology are as follows:
	i.	Portfolio trends, which may relate to such factors as type or level of loan origination activity, changes in asset quality (i.e., past due, special mention, non-performing) and/or changes in collateral values;
	ii.	Portfolio concentrations, which may relate to individual borrowers and/or guarantors, geographic regions, industry sectors, loan types and/or other factors;
	iii.	Economic and market trends, which may relate to trends and/or levels of gross domestic production, unemployment, bankruptcies, foreclosures, housing starts, housing prices, equity prices, competitor activities and/or other factors;
	iv.	Changes in lending practices, which may relate to changes in credit policies, procedures, systems or staff;
	v.	Changes in loan review system, which may introduce variation in loan grading, collateral adequacy and valuation and impairment classification;
	vi.	Geographical considerations, which may relate to economic and/or environmental issues unique to a geographical area including but not limited to elimination of a major employer, natural disaster, or long-term states of emergency; and
	vii.	Other factors, which is intended to capture the incremental adjustment, by loan type, to internally calculated minimum reserves (as discussed above) as well as environmental factors not specifically identified above.
In addition, qualitative reserves on purchased performing loans are based on the Company’s judgment around the timing difference expected to occur between accretion of the fair market value credit adjustment and realization of actual loans losses.
4)          Reserve on PCI Loans. In determining the acquisition date fair value of PCI loans, and in subsequent accounting, the Company generally aggregates purchased loans into pools of loans with common risk characteristics. Expected cash flows at the acquisition date in excess of the fair value of loans are recorded as interest income over the life of the loans using a level yield method if the timing and amount of the future cash flows of the pool is reasonably estimable. Subsequent to the acquisition date, significant increases in cash flows over those expected at the acquisition date are recognized as interest income prospectively. Decreases in expected cash flows after the acquisition date are recognized by recording an allowance for loan losses. In pools where impairment has already been recognized, an increase in cash flows will result in a reversal of prior impairment. Management analyzes these acquired loan pools using various assessments of risk to determine and calculate an expected loss. The expected loss is derived using an estimate of a loss given default based upon the collateral type and/or specific review by loan officers of loans generally greater than $1.0 million, and the probability of default that was determined based upon management’s review of the loan portfolio. Trends are reviewed in terms of traditional credit metrics such as accrual status, past due status, and weighted average risk grade of the loans within each of the accounting pools. In addition, the relationship between the change in the unpaid principal balance and change in the fair value mark is assessed to correlate the directional consistency of the expected loss for each pool.
This analysis resulted in net recovery of impairment for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $209 thousand. Additionally, approximately $(278) thousand was attributable to covered loans under FDIC loss share agreements. These covered loan impairments were a function of an increase in expected losses and as a result, the FDIC indemnification asset was increased. See Note 6 – FDIC Loss Share Agreements for further discussion. These impairments are in a single covered PCI loan pool and are in the CRE – investor income producing loan segment.
The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions charged to operations and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2014 was a function of the following:
	-1	a decrease of $3.5 million in the quantitative component of the allowance due to a decrease in historical loss rates applied to the portfolio as significant charge-offs from 2010 are replaced with low loss or recovery periods in 2014. In addition, changes in look-back periods in the residential construction loan type, which better reflect the inherent loss in the portfolio, and the reclassification of the minimum reserve amounts to the qualitative component contributed to the decrease.
	-2	An increase of $3.4 million in the qualitative component of the allowance primarily due to the reclassification of minimum reserve amounts noted in item (1) above as well as management’s decision to increase certain factors based on rapid loan growth, entrance into new markets, and caution surrounding the economic recovery.
	-3	A decrease of $360 thousand in the reserve on PCI loans due to the reversal of previously recognized impairments.
	-4	A decrease of $199 thousand in specific reserves which change periodically as loans move through or out of the impairment process.
The Company evaluates and estimates off-balance sheet credit exposure at the same time it estimates credit losses for loans by a similar process. These estimated credit losses are not recorded as part of the allowance for loan losses, but are recorded to a separate liability account by a charge to income, if material. Loan commitments, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit make up the off-balance sheet items reviewed for potential credit losses. At both December 31, 2014 and 2013, $125 thousand was recorded as an other liability for off-balance sheet credit exposure.
Credit Quality Indicators -The Company uses several credit quality indicators to manage credit risk in an ongoing manner. The Company's primary credit quality indicator is an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans into pass, special mention, or classified categories. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans that have significant or unique credit characteristics that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. These are typically loans to businesses or individuals in the classes that comprise the commercial portfolio segment. Groups of loans that are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics, such as statistical models (e.g., credit scoring or payment performance), are typically risk rated and monitored collectively. These are typically loans to individuals in the classes that comprise the consumer portfolio segment.
The following are the definitions of the Company's credit quality indicators:
	Pass:		Loans in classes that comprise the commercial and consumer portfolio segments that are not adversely rated, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. PCI loans that were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date are generally assigned a “pass” loan grade because their net financial statement value is based on the present value of expected cash flows. Management believes there is a low likelihood of loss related to those loans that are considered pass.
Special Mention:	Loans in classes that comprise the commercial and consumer portfolio segments that have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If not addressed, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan. Management believes there is a moderate likelihood of some loss related to those loans that are considered special mention.
Classified:	Loans in the classes that comprise the commercial and consumer portfolio segments that are inadequately protected by the sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Management believes that there is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies related to classified loans are not corrected in a timely manner.
The Company's credit quality indicators are periodically updated on a case-by-case basis. The following tables present the recorded investment in the Company's loans as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, by loan class and by credit quality indicator.

Aging Analysis of Accruing and Non-Accruing Loans - The Company considers a loan to be past due or delinquent when the terms of the contractual obligation are not met by the borrower. PCI loans are included as a single category in the table below as management believes, regardless of their age, there is a lower likelihood of aggregate loss related to these loan pools. Additionally, PCI loans are discounted to allow for the accretion of income on a level yield basis over the life of the loan based on expected cash flows. Regardless of accruing status, the associated discount on these loan pools results in income recognition. The following presents, by class, an aging analysis of the Company’s accruing and non-accruing loans as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Impaired Loans - All classes of loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impaired loans may include all classes of nonaccrual loans and loans modified in a TDR. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the rate implicit in the original loan agreement or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Additionally, a portion of the Company’s qualitative factors accounts for potential impairment on loans generally less than $150 thousand. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company’s quarterly cash flow analyses on PCI loan pools indicated net recovery of impairment of $209 thousand. These impairments are in a single covered PCI loan pool and are in the CRE – investor income producing loan segment. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s quarterly cash flow analyses indicated net recovery of impairment of $607 thousand. These impairments are in a single covered PCI loan pool and are in the CRE – investor income producing loan segment. These amounts are not included in the tables below.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans - It is the general policy of the Company to place a loan on nonaccrual status when there is probable loss or when there is reasonable doubt that all principal will be collected, or when it is over 90 days past due. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were $30 thousand and $17 thousand, respectively, in loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest. These loans are secured and considered fully collectible at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The recorded investment in nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2014 and 2013 follows:

Interest income included in the results of operations for 2014, 2013 and 2012, with respect to loans that subsequently went to nonaccrual, totaled $158 thousand, $310 thousand and $157 thousand, respectively. If interest on these loans had been accrued in accordance with their original terms, interest income would have increased by $1.1 million, $3.0 million and $540 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans – PCI loans had an unpaid principal balance of $165.7 million and a carrying value of $133.2 million at December 31, 2014. PCI loans had an unpaid principal balance of $197.0 million and a carrying value of $163.8 million at December 31, 2013. PCI loans represented 5.6% and 8.4% of total assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Determining the fair value of the PCI loans required the Company to estimate cash flows expected to result from those loans and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest and taking into account prepayment assumptions. For such loans, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans and is called the accretable yield. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition reflects the impact of estimated credit losses and is called the nonaccretable difference. In accordance with GAAP, there was no carry-over of previously established allowance for loan losses from acquired companies.
In conjunction with the Provident Community acquisition, the PCI loan portfolio was accounted for at fair value as follows:
		1-May-14
Contractual principal and interest at acquisition		$	46,177
Nonaccretable difference			(10,153	)

Troubled Debt Restructuring - In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties, management may grant a concession for other than an insignificant period of time to the borrower that would not otherwise be considered, the related loan is classified as a TDR. Management strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to modify to more affordable terms. These modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. All loan modifications are made on a case-by-case basis.
The Company allocated $373 thousand and $565 thousand, respectively, of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in a TDR as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had 18 TDR loans totaling $4.1 million, of which $841 thousand are nonaccrual loans. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had 11 TDR loans totaling $8.2 million, of which $4.4 million are nonaccrual loans.
The following table presents a breakdown of the types of concessions made by loan class during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Commercial TDRs - Commercial TDRs (including commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, AC&D and other commercial loans) often result from a workout where an existing commercial loan is restructured and a concession is given.  These workouts may involve lengthening the amortization period of the amortized principal beyond market terms, or reducing the interest rate below market terms for the original remaining life of the loan. In the case of extended amortization, this concession reduces the minimum monthly payment and increases the balloon payment at the end of the term of the loan. Other concessions can potentially involve forgiveness of principal, collateral concessions, or reduction of accrued interest.  The impact of the TDR on the allowance for loan losses is based on the changes in borrower payment performance rather than just the TDR classification. All TDRs are designated as impaired loans.  TDRs, like other impaired loans, are measured based on discounted cash flows, comparing the modified loan to pre-modified terms or, if the loan is deemed to be collateral dependent, collateral value less anticipated selling costs.  TDRs having a book balance of less than $150,000, along with other impaired loans of similar size, are measured in a pooled approach utilizing loss given default and probability of default parameters.  TDRs may remain in accruing status if the borrower remains less than 90 days past due per the restructured loan terms and no loss is expected. A borrower may be considered for removal from TDR status if it is no longer experiencing financial difficulties and can qualify for new loan terms which do not represent a concession, subject to the normal underwriting standards and processes for similar extensions of credit.   As of December 31, 2014, the Company has one commercial TDR with a reduced interest rate and two commercial TDRs where an extension of maturities was granted. All commercial TDRs are paying according to the terms of the modification as of December 31, 2014.
Consumer TDRs - Consumer TDRs (including residential mortgage, HELOC, residential construction and other consumer loans) often result from a workout where an existing loan is modified and a concession is given.  These workouts typically lengthen the amortization period of the amortized principal beyond market terms or reduce the interest rate below market terms.  The impact of the TDR on the allowance for loan losses is based on the changes in borrower payment performance rather than the TDR classification.  TDRs like other impaired loans are measured based on discounted cash flows or collateral value, less anticipated selling costs, of the modified loan using pre-modified interest rates.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company has two consumer TDRs where an extension of maturities was granted.  All consumer TDRs are paying according to the terms of the modification as of December 31, 2014.
The following table presents loans modified as TDRs within the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and for which there was a payment default during the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Dec. 31, 2014
Disclosure Text Block Supplement [Abstract]
Other Assets Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 6 –FDIC LOSS SHARE AGREEMENTS
	In connection with the Citizens South acquisition, the Bank assumed two purchase and assumption agreements with the FDIC that cover approximately $42.3 million and $71.1 million of covered loans as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $3.0 million and $5.1 million of covered OREO as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Citizens South acquired these assets in prior transactions with the FDIC.
	Within the first purchase and assumption agreement are two loss share agreements that originated in March 2010, related to Citizen South’s acquisition of Bank of Hiawassee, a Georgia state-chartered bank headquartered in Hiawassee, Georgia. Under these loss-share agreements, the FDIC will cover 80% of net loan losses up to $102 million and 95% of net loan losses that exceed $102 million. The term of the loss-share agreements is ten years for losses and recoveries on residential real estate loans, five years for losses on all other loans and eight years for recoveries on all other loans. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Bank recorded an estimated receivable from the FDIC in the amount of $3.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively, related to these loss share agreements.
	Within the second purchase and assumption agreement are two loss share agreements that originated in April 2011, related to Citizens South’s acquisition of New Horizons Bank, a Georgia state-chartered bank headquartered in East Ellijay, Georgia. The first loss share agreement covers certain residential loans and OREO for a period of ten years. The other loss-share agreement covers all remaining covered assets for a period of five years. Pursuant to the terms of these loss-share agreements, the FDIC is obligated to reimburse the Bank for 80% of all eligible losses, which begins with the first dollar of loss occurred, and certain collection and disposition expenses with respect to covered assets. The Bank has a corresponding obligation to reimburse the FDIC for 80% of eligible recoveries with respect to covered assets for a period of ten years for residential properties and eight years for all other covered assets. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Bank recorded an estimated receivable from the FDIC in the amount of $1.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively, related to these loss share agreements.
	The following table provides changes in the estimated receivable from the FDIC during 2014 and 2013:
	FDIC Loss Share Receivable
		2014			2013
	Balance, beginning of period	$	10,025		$	18,697
	Increase (decrease) in expected losses on loans		(278	)		501
	Additional losses to OREO		96			817
	Reimbursable expenses (income)		974			(394	)
	Amortization discounts and premiums, net		(3,203	)		(189	)
	Reimbursements from the FDIC		(3,650	)		(9,720	)
	Other changes, net		-			313
	Balance, end of period	$	3,964		$	10,025
	The estimated receivable from the FDIC is measured separately from the related covered assets and is recorded at carrying value. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the projected cash flows related to the FDIC receivable for losses on covered loans and assets were approximately $3.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively. Included in the estimated receivable above is a component of amortization which will be recognized over the life of the agreement, with increases or decreases based on estimated performance of the underlying loans.
	In relation to the FDIC indemnification asset is an expected "true-up" with the FDIC related to the loss share agreements described above. The loss share agreements between the Bank and the FDIC with respect to New Horizons Bank and Bank of Hiawassee each contain a provision that obligates the Company to make a "true-up" payment to the FDIC if the realized losses of each of these acquired banks are less than expected. An estimate of this amount is determined each reporting period. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the “true-up” amount was estimated to be approximately $5.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively, at the end of the loss share agreements. These amounts are recorded in other liabilities on the balance sheet. The actual payment will be determined at the end of the term of the loss sharing agreements and is based on the negative bid, expected losses, intrinsic loss estimate, and assets covered under the loss share agreements.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 9 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
	In accordance with GAAP, the Company does not amortize goodwill. However, core deposit intangible assets are amortized over the estimated life of the asset. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, intangible assets consisted of core deposit premiums, net of accumulated amortization, and amounted to $11.0 million and $8.6 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to the core deposit premium was $1.3 million, $1.0 million, and $564 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Amortization of core deposit intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method over an amortization period of ten years. Estimated amortization expense for the years ending December 31 is as follows (dollars in thousand):
	2015	$	1,389
	2016		1,389
	2017		1,389
	2018		1,389
	2019		1,389
	2020 and thereafter		4,015
		$	10,960
	Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The Company evaluated the carrying value of goodwill as of October 1, 2014, its annual test date, and determined that no impairment charge was necessary. Should the Company’s future earnings and cash flows decline and/or discount rates increase, an impairment charge to goodwill and other intangible assets may be required. There have been no events subsequent to the October 1, 2014 evaluation that caused the Company to perform an interim review of the carrying value of goodwill. The following table presents a rollforward of goodwill by acquired bank:

	FHLB borrowing agreements provide for lines of credit up to 20% of the Bank’s assets. The FHLB borrowings are collateralized by a blanket pledge arrangement on all residential first mortgage loans, HELOCs and loans secured by multi-family real estate that the Bank owns. At December 31, 2014, the carrying value of loans pledged as collateral to the FHLB and the Federal Reserve totaled $560.4 million.
	In September 2009, the Bank issued $6.9 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11% Subordinated Notes, due June 30, 2019 (the “Notes”). On June 30, 2014, the Bank redeemed these Notes in full at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest.
	As a result of its mergers, the Company’s capital structure includes trust preferred securities previously issued by the predecessor companies through specially formed trusts. The combined total amount outstanding of the acquired trusts as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $38.1 million ($23.6 million, net of mark to market) and $25.8 million ($15.2 million, net of mark to market), respectively.
	Community Capital previously had formed Community Capital Corporation Statutory Trust I, an unconsolidated statutory business trust, which issued $10.3 million ($6.1 million, net of mark to market) of trust preferred securities that were sold to third parties. The rate on the trust preferred securities acquired through the Community Capital merger adjusts quarterly to three-month LIBOR plus 1.55%. Citizens South previously had formed CSBC Statutory Trust I, an unconsolidated statutory business trust, which issued $15.5 million ($9.4 million, net of mark to market) of trust preferred securities that were sold to third parties. The rate on the trust preferred securities acquired through the Citizens South merger adjusts quarterly to three-month LIBOR plus 1.57%. Provident Community previously had formed Provident Community Bancshares Capital Trust I and Provident Community Bancshares Capital Trust II. Each trust is an unconsolidated statutory business trust, which issued $4.1 million ($2.6 million, net of mark to market) and $8.2 million ($5.3 million, net of mark to market), respectively, of trust preferred securities that were sold to third parties. The rate on each of the trust preferred securities acquired through the Provident Community merger adjusts quarterly to three-month LIBOR plus 1.74%. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed each trust’s obligations under the preferred securities.
	The amounts presented are after related acquisition accounting fair market value adjustments. The proceeds of the sales of the trust preferred securities were used to purchase junior subordinated debt from the predecessor companies, which are presented as junior subordinated debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company and qualify for inclusion in Tier 1 Capital for regulatory capital purposes, subject to certain limitations.

	Net recorded deferred tax asset	$	35,623		$	36,318
	As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had a net DTA in the amount of approximately $35.6 million and $36.3 million, respectively. The decrease is primarily the result of $12.9 million in earnings during 2014. The Company adjusted its net deferred tax asset as a result of reductions in the North Carolina corporate income tax rate that were enacted July 23, 2013 and will become effective January 1, 2015. The lower corporate income tax rate resulted in a reduction in the deferred tax asset in 2014 and a decrease in current period income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	The Company evaluates the carrying amount of the DTA quarterly in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC 740, in particular applying the criteria set forth therein to determine whether it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion, or all, of the DTA will not be realized within its life cycle, based on the weight of available evidence. In most cases, the realization of the DTA is dependent upon generating a sufficient level of taxable income in future periods, which can be difficult to predict. In addition to projected earnings, the Company also considers projected asset quality, liquidity, its strong capital position, which could be leveraged to increase earning assets and generate taxable income, its growth plans and other relevant factors. Based on the weight of available evidence, the Company determined that as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 that it is more likely than not that it will be able to fully realize the existing DTA and therefore considered it appropriate not to establish a DTA valuation allowance at either December 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.
	The Company had a federal net operating loss carryforward of $28.5 million and $28.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which expire in varying amounts through 2031. As a result of several acquisitions since 2011, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 382”) places an annual limitation on the amount of federal net operating loss carryforwards the Company may utilize. Additionally, Section 382 limits the Company’s ability to utilize certain tax deductions such as realized built in losses (“RBIL”) due to the existence of net unrealized built-in losses (“NUBIL”) at the time of the change in control. The Company is allowed to carryforward any such RBIL under terms similar to those related to net operating losses. The Company expects all Section 382 limited carryforwards to be realized within the acceptable carryforward period.
	The Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $41.6 million and $46.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which expire in varying amounts through 2026.
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. It is the Company’s policy to account for interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.
	Federal and state tax returns for 2011 and subsequent tax years remain subject to examination by taxing authorities as of December 31, 2014.

Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]
Regulatory Capital Requirements under Banking Regulations [Text Block]	NOTE 13 – REGULATORY MATTERS
	The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.
	The Bank’s mortgage banking division qualifies as a HUD-approved Title II Supervised Mortgagee and issues mortgages insured by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). A Title II supervised mortgagee must maintain an adjusted net worth equal to a minimum of $1 million, plus 1% of FHA originations in excess of $25 million, up to a maximum of $2.5 million. Possible penalties related to noncompliance with this minimum net worth requirement include the revocation of the Bank’s license to issue HUD-insured mortgages, which may have a material adverse affect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Bank satisfied the requirement of maintaining $1 million in adjusted net worth.
	Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank and the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of different components of capital to risk-weighted assets and average assets. The Company’s capital position is reflected in its shareholders’ equity, subject to certain adjustments for regulatory purposes. In particular, deferred tax assets that are dependent on future taxable income do not qualify for inclusion as core capital based on the capital guidelines of the primary federal supervisory agencies for the Bank and the Company. Based on the capital guidelines in effect on December 31, 2014, the disallowed portion of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 was $27.7 million for the Company and $30.2 million for the Bank. The disallowed portion of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 was $27.7 million for the Company and $30.4 million for the Bank.
	Risk-based capital regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC require bank holding companies and banks to achieve and maintain specified ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets. The risk-based capital rules are designed to measure different components of capital in relation to the credit risk of both on- and off-balance sheet items. Under the guidelines, one of four risk weights is applied to the different on-balance sheet items. Off-balance sheet items, such as loan commitments, are also subject to risk weighting after conversion to balance sheet equivalent amounts. These guidelines also specify that banks that are experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels. Under regulations in effect at December 31, 2014, the relevant components of capital consisted of Tier 1 capital (generally common shareholders’ equity, a limited amount of qualifying perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities, and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, net of goodwill and other intangible assets, deferred tax assets in excess of certain thresholds and certain other items), Tier 2 capital (generally certain preferred stock, mandatorily convertible debt securities and term subordinated debt) and total capital (consisting of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital). Under these regulations, at December 31, 2014, banks were required to maintain a minimum total capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.00%, at least half of which was required to be in the form of Tier 1 capital. At December 31, 2014, the Company and the Bank both satisfied their minimum regulatory capital requirements and each was “well capitalized” within the meaning of federal regulatory requirements.
	Management believes that, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject, as set forth below:

	In July 2013, the regulatory agencies approved final regulatory capital rules that replace the existing general risk-based capital and related rules, broadly revising the basic definitions and elements of regulatory capital and making substantial changes to the credit risk weightings for banking and trading book assets. Under the new capital guidelines, applicable regulatory capital components consist of (1) common equity Tier 1 capital (common stock, including related surplus, and retained earnings, plus limited amounts of minority interest in the form of common stock, net of goodwill and other intangibles (other than mortgage servicing assets), deferred tax assets arising from net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards above certain levels, mortgage servicing rights above certain levels, gain on sale of securitization exposures and certain investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions, and adjusted by unrealized gains or losses on cash flow hedges and accumulated other comprehensive income items (subject to the ability of a non-advanced approaches institution to make a one-time irrevocable election to exclude from regulatory capital most components of AOCI)), (2) additional Tier 1 capital (qualifying non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, including related surplus, plus qualifying Tier 1 minority interest and, in the case of holding companies with less than $15 billion in consolidated assets at December 31, 2009, certain grandfathered trust preferred securities and cumulative perpetual preferred stock in limited amounts, net of mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets related to temporary timing differences, and certain investments in financial institutions) and (3) Tier 2 capital (the allowance for loan and lease losses in an amount not exceeding 1.25% of standardized risk-weighted assets, plus qualifying preferred stock, qualifying subordinated debt and qualifying total capital minority interest, net of tier 2 investments in financial institutions). Total Tier 1 capital, plus Tier 2 capital, constitutes total risk-based capital. The required minimum ratios are as follows:
		●	common equity Tier 1 capital ratio (common equity Tier 1 capital to standardized total risk-weighted assets) of 4.5%;
		●	Tier 1 capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to standardized total risk-weighted assets) of 6%;
		●	total capital ratio (total capital to standardized total risk-weighted assets) of 8%; and
		●	leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated assets) of 4%.
	Advanced approaches banking organizations (those organizations with either total assets of $250 billion or more, or with foreign exposure of $10 billion or more) also are subject to a supplementary leverage ratio that incorporates a broader set of exposures in the denominator. The new capital guidelines also provide that all covered banking organizations must maintain a new capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. Advanced approaches organizations also are subject to a countercyclical capital buffer. Failure to satisfy the capital buffer requirements would result in increasingly stringent limitations on various types of capital distributions, including dividends, share buybacks and discretionary payments on Tier 1 instruments, and discretionary bonus payments.
	Non-advanced approaches banking organizations, including the Company and the Bank, must begin compliance with the new minimum capital ratios and the standardized approach for risk-weighted assets as of January 1, 2015, and the revised definitions of regulatory capital and the revised regulatory capital deductions and adjustments are being phased in over time for such organizations beginning as of that date. The capital conservation buffer will be phased in for all banking organizations beginning January 1, 2016.
	Federal regulations require institutions to set aside specified amounts of cash as reserves against transaction and time deposits. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the required cash reserves were satisfied by vault cash on hand and amounts due from correspondent banks.
	On November 2, 2012, the Company announced a common stock repurchase program for up to 2.2 million shares. The original repurchase plan was in effect until November 1, 2014. On October 29, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved a new share repurchase program. This plan is in effect for two years and permits the Company to effect the repurchases from time to time through a combination of open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, and other derivative transactions. The specific timing and amount of repurchases depend on general market conditions, the trading of stock, regulatory, legal, and contractual requirements and the Company’s financial performance. During 2014, the Company repurchased 136,743 shares of Common Stock in open market transactions under the repurchase program at an average price of $6.56 and acquired 19,942 shares at an average price of $6.69 in connection with satisfaction of tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock, and during 2013, the Company repurchased 56,267 common shares, at an average price of $6.46 per share in open market transactions under the repurchase program.
	The Company must obtain Federal Reserve Board approval prior to repurchasing its Common Stock in excess of 10% of its net worth during any twelve-month period unless the Company (i) both before and after the redemption satisfies capital requirements for "well capitalized" state member banks; (ii) received a one or two rating in its last examination; and (iii) is not the subject of any unresolved supervisory issues. Although the payment of dividends and repurchase of stock by the Company are subject to certain requirements and limitations of North Carolina corporate law, except as set forth in this paragraph, neither the NC Commissioner nor the FDIC have promulgated any regulations specifically limiting the right of the Company to pay dividends or repurchase shares. However, the ability of the Company to pay dividends or repurchase shares may be dependent upon the Company's receipt of dividends from the Bank.
	Under the laws of the State of North Carolina, provided the Bank does not make distributions that reduce its capital below its applicable required capital, the board of directors of the Bank may declare such distributions as the directors deem proper. As noted above, the Bank would also be prohibited from declaring any dividend the payment of which would result in the Bank becoming undercapitalized. Finally, an undercapitalized institution is generally prohibited from paying dividends to its shareholders.
	As part of Citizens South’s Plan of Conversion and Reorganization in May 2002, it established a memo liquidation account in an amount equal to its equity at the time of the conversion of approximately $44 million for the benefit of eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at Citizens South Bank after the conversion. In accordance with the memo liquidation account, in the event of a complete liquidation of Citizens South Bank, each eligible account holder and supplemental eligible account holder would be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. In connection with the Citizens South merger and the subsequent merger of Citizens South Bank into the Bank, the Bank assumed this memo liquidation account. This liquidation account is reviewed and adjusted annually. The value of the liquidation account was $7.6 million at both December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Off Balance Sheet Risk [Abstract]
Off Balance Sheet Risk [Text Block]	NOTE 16 – OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
	In the normal course of business, the Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk necessary to meet the financing needs of customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, undisbursed lines of credit and letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.
	Commitments to extend credit and undisbursed lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.
	Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn on when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The fair value of these commitments is immaterial at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
	Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral obtained varies but may include real estate, stocks, bonds, and certificates of deposit. In management’s opinion, these commitments represent no more than normal lending risk to the Company and will be funded from normal sources of liquidity.
	A summary of the contract amount of the Company’s exposure to off-balance sheet risk as of December 31, 2014 is as follows:
		Contractual
		Amount
	Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
	Undisbursed lines of credit	$	328,293
	Standby letters of credit		5,402
	Commercial letters of credit		717

	The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement during October 2013 with a notional amount of $20.0 million. This derivative instrument is used to protect the Company from future interest rate risk on a portion of its floating rate FHLB borrowings. This derivative instrument is a $20.0 million three-year forward starting, five-year interest rate swap with an effective date of October 21, 2016. The instrument carries a fixed rate of 3.439% with quarterly payments commencing in January 2017. This derivative instrument is accounted for as a cash flow hedge with effective changes in fair market value recorded in other comprehensive income net of tax. This derivative instrument is carried at a fair market value of $(939) thousand and $298 thousand at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and is included in other liabilities at December 31, 2014 and other assets at December 31, 2013. As a result of the unfavorable position of the instrument at December 31, 2014, the Company posted collateral of approximately $939 thousand with the counterparty.
	The Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements during December 2013 with an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million. These derivative instruments are used to protect the Company from future interest rate risk related to a seven-year commitment of floating rate broker-dealer sweep accounts through a brokered deposit program. These derivative instruments are a combination of a $12.5 million forward starting, five-year interest rate swap; a $12.5 million forward starting, seven-year interest rate swap; and a $25.0 million two-year forward starting swap. Effective dates for these derivative instruments are January 2, 2014, January 2, 2014 and January 4, 2016, respectively. These instruments carry a fixed rate of 1.688% with monthly payments commencing February 3, 2014, a fixed rate of 2.341% with monthly payments commencing February 3, 2014, and a fixed rate of 3.104% with monthly payments commencing February 1, 2016, respectively. These derivative instruments are accounted for as cash flow hedges with effective changes in fair market value recorded in other comprehensive income net of tax. These derivative instruments are carried at a fair market value of $(1.5) million and $247 thousand at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in other liabilities at December 31, 2014 and other assets at December 31, 2013. As a result of the unfavorable position of the instruments at December 31, 2014, the Company posted collateral of approximately $1.5 million with the counterparty.
	At December 31, 2014, the Company had seven loan swaps accounted for as fair value hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The aggregate original notional amount of these loan swaps was $26.1 million. These derivative instruments are used to protect the Company from interest rate risk caused by changes in the LIBOR curve in relation to certain designated fixed rate loans. The derivative instruments are used to convert these fixed rate loans to an effective floating rate. If the LIBOR rate is below the stated fixed rate of the loan for a given period, the Company will owe the floating rate payer the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed rate. If LIBOR is above the stated rate for any given period during the term of the contract, the Company will receive payments based on the notional amount times the difference between LIBOR and the stated fixed rate.
	To meet the needs of the Company’s customers, the Company has entered into seven interest rate swap agreements to convert certain fixed-rate receivables to floating rates and certain fixed-rate obligations to floating rates. To offset this interest rate risk, the Company has entered into substantially identical agreements with a third party to swap these fixed rate agreements into variable rates. The interest rate swaps are used to provide fixed rate financing while managing interest rate risk and were not designated as hedges. The interest rate swaps pay and receive interest based on a floating rate based on one month LIBOR, with payments being calculated on the notional amount. The interest rate swaps are settled monthly, with varying maturities. There were no interest rate swap agreements to cover certain fixed-rate receivable to floating rates and certain fixed-rate obligations to floating rates at December 31, 2013.
	The interest rate swaps had a notional amount of $35.3 million at December 31, 2014, representing the amount of fixed-rate receivables outstanding and liabilities outstanding, and are included in other assets and other liabilities at their fair values of $1.2 million. All changes in fair value are recorded as other income within non-interest income. Fair values for interest rate swap agreements are based upon the amounts required to settle the contracts. At December 31, 2014, there was no impact to earnings as the changes in the fair value of both the fixed and variable legs of the swap completely offset each other.

Note 19 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments	12 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	NOTE 19 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities on and off the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. These fair value estimates are made at each balance sheet date, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are intended to represent the price at which an asset could be sold or the price for which a liability could be settled in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. However, given there is no active market or observable market transactions for many of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company has made estimates of many of these fair values which are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimated values. The methodologies used for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:
	Cash and Cash Equivalents –Cash and cash equivalents, which are comprised of cash and due from banks, interest-earning balances at banks and Federal funds sold, approximate their fair value.
	Investment SecuritiesAvailable-for-Saleand Investment Securities Held-to-Maturity -Fair value for investment securities is based on the quoted market price if such information is available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
	Nonmarketable Equity Securities –Cost is a reasonable estimate of fair value for nonmarketable equity securities because no quoted market prices are available and the securities are not readily marketable. The carrying amount is adjusted for any other than temporary declines in value.
	Loans Held for Sale -For certain homogenous categories of loans, such as residential mortgages, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.
	Loans, net of allowance- The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Further adjustments are made to reflect current market conditions. There is no discount for liquidity included in the expected cash flow assumptions.
	FDIC Indemnification Asset – The fair values for the FDIC indemnification asset are estimated based on discounted future cash flows using current discount rates.
	Accrued Interest Receivable -The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
	Deposits -The fair value of deposits with no stated maturities, including demand deposits, savings, money market and NOW accounts, is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of deposits that have stated maturities, primarily time deposits, is estimated by discounting expected cash flows using the rates currently offered for instruments of similar remaining maturities.
	Borrowings -The fair values of short-term and long-term borrowings are based on discounting expected cash flows at the interest rate for debt with the same or similar remaining maturities and collateral requirements.
	Subordinated Debentures – The fair value of fixed rate subordinated debentures is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the Company’s current borrowing rate. The carrying amounts of variable rate borrowings are reasonable estimates of fair value because they can reprice frequently.
	Accrued Interest Payable -The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
	Derivative Instruments – Derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps and swap fair value hedges, are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based on discounted cash flow models. All future floating cash flows are projected and both floating and fixed cash flows are discounted to the valuation date.
	Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk -With regard to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk discussed in Note 16 – Off-Balance Sheet Risk, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of future financing commitments.
	The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale and derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
	The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
		Level 1	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
		Level 2	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
		Level 3	Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques may include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
	The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, are as follows at December 31:

	The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:
	Investment Securities -Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Investment securities held-to-maturity are valued at quoted market prices or dealer quotes similar to securities available for sale. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, United States Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include MBS issued by government-sponsored entities or private label entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities that are valued using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets. Securities classified as Level 3 include a corporate debt security in a less liquid market whose value is determined by reference to the going rate of a similar debt security if it were to enter the market at period end. The derived market value requires significant management judgment and is further substantiated by discounted cash flow methodologies.
	Derivative Instruments -Derivative instruments held or issued by the Company for risk management purposes are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, the Company uses a third party to measure the fair value on a recurring basis. The Company classifies derivative instruments held or issued for risk management purposes as Level 2. As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s derivative instruments consist of interest rate swaps and swap fair value hedges, and as of December 31, 2013, the Company’s derivative instruments consist of swap fair value hedges.
	Loans - Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures it for the estimated impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, discounted cash flows or a pooled probability of default and loss given default calculation. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value exceeds the recorded investments in such loans. Impaired loans where a specific allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. The Company records such impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 3.
	The Company recorded the seven loans involved in fair value hedges at fair market value on a recurring basis. The Company does not record other loans at fair value on a recurring basis.
	Loans held for sale – Loans held for sale are adjusted to lower of cost or market upon transfer from the loan portfolio to loans held for sale. Subsequently, loans held for sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral, management’s estimation of the value of the collateral or commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. The fair value adjustments for loans held for sale are recorded as nonrecurring Level 2.
Other real estate owned - OREO is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to OREO. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is measured due to further deterioration in the value of the OREO since initial recognition, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Securities measured on a Level 3 recurring basis at December 31, 2014 include a corporate debt security whose value is determined by the going rate of a similar debt security if it were to enter the market at period end with additional liquidity discounts applied due to a smaller available market.
At December 31, 2013, the Company transferred a corporate debt security investment from Level 3 to Level 2. In December 2013, the Company received notice that this corporate debt security would be satisfied at its book value in January 2014. The full book value of this security was received on January 31, 2014. Valuation techniques are consistent with techniques used in prior periods. Other than the corporate debt security discussed above, there were no transfers between valuation levels for any accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. If different valuation techniques are deemed necessary, the transfers will be considered to occur at the end of the period that the accounts are valued.
The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower of cost or market accounting or impairment charges of individual assets. Processes are in place for overseeing the valuation procedures for Level 3 measurements of OREO and impaired loans. The assets are reviewed on a quarterly basis to determine the accuracy of the observable inputs, generally third party appraisals, auction values, values derived from trade publications and data submitted by the borrower, and the appropriateness of the unobservable inputs, generally discounts due to current market conditions and collection issues. Discounts are based on asset type and valuation source; deviations from the standard are documented. The discounts are periodically reviewed to determine whether they remain appropriate. Consideration is given to current trends in market values for the asset categories and gain and losses on sales of similar assets.
Discounts range from 0% to 100% depending on the nature of the assets and source of value. Real estate is valued based on appraisals or evaluations, discounted by 8% at a minimum with higher discounts for property in poor condition or property with characteristics that may make it more difficult to market. Commercial loans secured by receivables or non-real estate collateral are generally valued using the discounted cash flow method. Inputs are determined on a borrower-by-borrower basis.
Impaired loans and related write-downs are based on the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral or using a pooled probability of default and loss given default calculation. Collateral values are reviewed quarterly and estimated using customized discounting criteria and appraisals.
Other real estate owned is based on the lower of the cost or fair value of the underlying collateral less expected selling costs. Collateral values are estimated primarily using appraisals and reflect a market value approach. Fair values are reviewed quarterly and new appraisals are generally obtained annually.
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Note 20 - Employee and Director Benefit Plans	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE 20 – EMPLOYEE AND DIRECTOR BENEFIT PLANS
	Employment Contracts -Employment agreements are used from time to time to ensure a stable and competent management base. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, and Chief Risk Officer are each subject to an employment agreement. Each executive’s agreement is for an initial term of three years and is subject to automatic one-year renewals on the third anniversary of its initial effective date and each successive anniversary unless either party provides timely notice of non-renewal. The agreements provide for benefits as spelled out in the contracts and cannot be terminated by the Board of Directors, except for cause, without prejudicing the officers’ rights to receive certain vested rights, including compensation. In the event of a change in control of the Company and in certain other events, as defined in the agreements, the Company or any successor to the Company will be bound to the terms of the contracts.
	The Company has inherited from its mergers a number of individual deferred compensation and supplemental retirement agreements with certain employees, former employees and former directors who were previously officers or directors of the predecessor company that provide for salary continuation benefits upon retirement. These individual agreements also provide for benefits in the event of early retirement, death or substantial change in control of the Company. The expense associated with these plans was $431 thousand, $460 thousand and $57 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The total liability associated with these assumed supplemental retirement plans was $8.3 million and $8.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	To assist funding the above liabilities, the acquired entities had insured the lives of certain current and former directors and officers. Earnings on those policies are used to offset employee benefit expenses. The Company also purchased and owns Bank-Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) policies on certain key officers of the Company, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the President and the Chief Risk Officer. The Company is the current owner and beneficiary of the policies and has the right to exercise all incidents of ownership. Cash surrender values of BOLI policies, including BOLI policies acquired in mergers, at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $57.7 million and $47.8 million, respectively. In 2014, the Company received $1.1 million in death proceeds from two policies, resulting in $651 thousand of additional noninterest income. There were no death proceeds received in 2013 or 2012.
	Certain BOLI policies acquired through mergers are subject to split dollar arrangements, wherein under separate agreement with the insured party, the insured party has the right to designate a beneficiary for an amount equal to 50 percent of the difference between the total policy death proceeds and the policy cash surrender value at the date of the employee’s death up to $100,000. For these split dollar arrangements, once vested in the benefit, the insured party has the right to continue to designate a beneficiary after retirement from the Company. As a result, the Company has recognized a liability as the split dollar arrangement effectively provides a post-employment retirement benefit after separation of service from the Company. The liability accrued for split dollar agreements that provide a post-retirement benefit at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The expense associated with these split dollar arrangements was $304 thousand and $61 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was immaterial.
	During 2013, the Company implemented a deferred compensation plan whereby certain employees and directors are given the option to defer compensation until retirement or separation of employment. Interest is accrued on the balances at a rate of 3.25%. The expense associated with this plan was $23 thousand and $5 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The total liability accrued for the deferred compensation plan was $871 thousand and $328 thousand at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Retirement Savings - The Company has a profit sharing and 401(k) plan for the benefit of substantially all employees subject to certain minimum age and service requirements. Under this plan, the Company matches 100% of employee contributions to a maximum of 3% of annual compensation and 50% of employee contributions greater than 3% to a maximum of 6% of annual compensation, up to an annual compensation generally equal to the Internal Revenue Service’s compensation threshold in effect from time to time. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s profit sharing and 401(k) plan owned 88,411, and 141,760 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Common Stock as a result of an investment election allowed under the Community Capital 401(k) savings plan, which has been merged into the Company’s plan. The Company no longer offers the Company’s Common Stock as an investment option in its 401(k) plan and effective February 3, 2015, all Company stock will be liquidated in the Company’s 401(k) plan. The estimated value of the shares held at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $650 thousand and $1.0 million, respectively.
	The Company’s contribution expense under the profit sharing and 401(k) plan was $1.1 million, $912 thousand and $685 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Share Based Plans -The Company maintains share-based plans for directors and employees. During 2010, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted and shareholders approved, the Park Sterling Bank 2010 Stock Option Plan for Directors and the Park Sterling Bank 2010 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Plans”), which provided for an aggregate of 1,859,550 shares of Common Stock reserved for the granting of options. The 2010 Plans were substantially similar to the 2006 option plans for directors and employees, which provided for an aggregate of 990,000 of shares of Common Stock reserved for options. Upon effectiveness of the holding company reorganization, the Company assumed all outstanding options under the 2010 Plans and the 2006 plans, and the Company’s Common Stock was substituted as the stock issuable upon the exercise of options under these plans. As a result, there will be no further awards under the 2010 Plans. At December 31, 2014, there were options to purchase 1,890,397 shares of Common Stock outstanding under these plans.
	Also during 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted and shareholders approved the Park Sterling Corporation 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan for directors and employees ( the “2010 LTIP”), which was effective upon the holding company reorganization and replaced the 2010 Plans. The 2010 LTIP provided for an aggregate of 1,016,400 of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance to employees and directors in connection with stock options, restricted stock awards, and other stock-based awards. At December 31, 2014, there were options to purchase 115,007 shares of Common Stock and 761,132 unvested restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2010 LTIP. The 2010 LTIP was frozen upon effectiveness of the Company’s 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan (described below), and no future awards may be made thereunder.
	In March 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted and in May 2014 shareholders approved the Park Sterling Corporation 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan for directors and employees (the “2014 LTIP”), which replaced the 2010 LTIP. An aggregate of 1,000,000 of shares of Common Stock, plus any shares subject to an award granted under the 2010 LTIP that was outstanding on March 26, 2014 that may expire, be forfeited or otherwise terminate unexercised, have been reserved for issuance to employees and directors under the 2014 LTIP in connection with stock options, restricted stock awards, and other stock-based awards. The 2014 LTIP will expire on May 23, 2024 and no awards may be made after that date. At December 31, 2014, there were 159,963 unvested restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2014 LTIP.
	As a result of the Citizens South merger, at the effective date of the merger, the Company assumed the awards outstanding under the Citizens South Bank 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Citizens South Plan”), the Citizens South Banking Corporation 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Citizens South Plan”) and the Citizens South Banking Corporation 2008 Equity Incentive Plan ( the “2008 Citizens South Plan”), each of which has been renamed as a Park Sterling Corporation plan.
	In addition, under the 2003 Citizens South Plan and the 2008 Citizens South Plan, the Company retained the right to grant future non-qualified stock options and, in the case of the 2008 Citizens South Plan, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to eligible employees and directors of, or in the case of the 2008 Citizens South Plan service providers to, the Company or the Bank who were not employees or directors of or service providers to the Company or the Bank at the effective time of the merger. Stock options and SARS are evidenced by an award agreement that specifies, as applicable, the number of shares, date of grant, exercise price, vesting period and expiration date, and other information. Awards under the these plans have an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the grant date, cannot be exercised more than 10 years after the grant date and generally expire or are forfeited upon termination of employment prior to the end of the award term, except in limited circumstances such as death, disability, retirement or change in control. At December 31, 2014, there were options to purchase 12,431 shares of Common Stock outstanding under the 2003 Citizens South Plan and options to purchase 152,892 shares of Common Stock outstanding under the 2008 Citizens South Plan. The 2003 Citizens South Plan expired by its terms in May 2013, and the 2008 Citizens South Plan was frozen in May 2014 upon effectiveness of the 2014 LTIP. As a result, no future awards may be made under these plans.
	The 1999 Citizens South Plan was frozen at the time of merger, and no future awards could be granted under this plan thereafter. At December 31, 2014, there were options to purchase 630 shares of Common Stock outstanding under the 1999 Citizens South Plan.
	The exercise price of each option under these plans is not less than the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price of all options outstanding at December 31, 2014 under these plans ranges from $3.04 to $15.45 and the average exercise price was $7.40. The Company funds the option shares from authorized but unissued shares. The Company does not typically purchase shares to fulfill the obligations of the stock benefit plans. Options granted become exercisable in accordance with the plans’ vesting schedules which are generally three years. All unexercised options expire ten years after the date of the grant.
	As contemplated during the Public Offering, in 2011 the Company awarded certain stock price performance-based restricted shares under the 2010 LTIP to officers and directors following the holding company reorganization. During 2013, 13,860 of these restricted shares were forfeited, and there were no forfeitures of these restricted shares during 2014. At December 31, 2014, there were 554,400 stock price performance-based restricted shares outstanding, which will vest one-third each when the Company’s stock price per share reaches the following performance thresholds for 30 consecutive trading days: (i) 125% of offer price ($8.13); (ii) 140% of offer price ($9.10); and (iii) 160% of offer price ($10.40). These anti-dilutive restricted shares are issued (and thereby have voting rights), but are not included in earnings per share calculations until they vest (and thereby have economic rights).
	Activity in the Company’s share-based plans is summarized in the following tables:

	There were 17,500 stock options granted during 2014. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The average grant date fair value per share of options granted in 2014 and 2012 was $6.70 and $1.60, respectively. There were no stock options granted during 2013. Assumptions used for grants in 2014 and 2012 were as follows:
	Assumptions in Estimating Option Values
		2014			2012
	Weighted-average volatility		38.6% - 39.0	%		35.58	%
	Expected dividend yield		1	%		0	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.22	%		0.63	%
Expected life (years)		7			0-7
The fair value of options vested was $100 thousand, $1.3 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
There were 238,613, 174,000 and 78,000 shares of restricted stock granted during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The average grant date fair value of restricted shares granted in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $6.53, $5.70 and $4.75, respectively.
The Company recognized compensation expense for share based compensation plans of $1.1 million, $1.8 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options of $41 thousand was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.07 years and unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted shares of $1.7 million was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.87 years. At December 31, 2013, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options of $35 thousand was expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.46 years and unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted shares of $1.2 million was expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.87 years.

Accounting_Policies_by_Policy_

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Presentation - The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and prevailing practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and the Company. The Company evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing of the consolidated financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, nonaccretable discounts, purchase accounting accretion adjustments, realization of deferred tax assets and the fair value of financial instruments and other accounts.
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Segments - The Company, through the Bank, provides a broad range of financial services to individuals and companies. These services include personal, business and non-profit checking accounts, IOLTA accounts, individual retirement accounts, business and personal money market accounts, time deposits, overdraft protection, safe deposit boxes and online and mobile banking. Lending activities include a range of short-to medium-term commercial (including asset-based lending), real estate, construction, residential mortgage and home equity and consumer loans, as well as long-term residential mortgages. Wealth management activities include investment management, personal trust services, and investment brokerage services. Cash management activities include remote deposit capture, lockbox services, sweep accounts, purchasing cards, ACH and wire payments. Capital markets activities include interest rate and currency risk management products, loan syndications and debt placements. While the Company's decision makers monitor the revenue streams of the various financial products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on an organization-wide basis. Accordingly, the Company's banking and finance operations are not considered by management to constitute more than one reportable operating segment.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Reclassifications - Certain noninterest income reported in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation. Reclassifications include amortization of indemnification asset and loss share true-up liability expense previously disclosed in other noninterest income which are now reported as separate line items. The reclassification had no effect on net income, comprehensive income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.
Business Combinations Policy [Policy Text Block]	Business Combinations, Method of Accounting for Loans Acquired, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) Indemnification Asset – Generally, acquisitions are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. A business combination occurs when the Company acquires net assets that constitute a business, or acquires equity interests in one or more other entities that are businesses and obtains control over those entities. Business combinations are effected through the transfer of consideration consisting of cash and/or common stock and are accounted for using the acquisition method. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are recorded at their respective fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, especially the loan portfolio, is a complicated process involving significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. The results of operations of an acquired entity are included in our consolidated results from the closing date of the merger, and prior periods are not restated. No allowance for loan losses related to the acquired loans is recorded on the acquisition date because the fair value of the loans acquired incorporates assumptions regarding future credit losses. Loans acquired are recorded at fair value exclusive of any loss share agreements with the FDIC. The fair value estimates associated with the acquired loans include estimates related to expected prepayments and the amount and timing of expected principal, interest and other cash flows.
	In connection with an acquisition the Company may assume purchase and assumption agreements that the acquired institution entered into with the FDIC, providing for loss share agreements related to the covered assets. The Bank records an estimated receivable from the FDIC in connection with such loss share agreements. The FDIC indemnification asset is measured separately from the related covered assets as it is not contractually embedded in the assets and is not transferable with the assets, without approval of the FDIC, should the Company choose to dispose of them. Fair value is estimated at the acquisition date using projected cash flows related to the loss sharing agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses and the applicable loss sharing percentages. These expected reimbursements do not include reimbursable amounts related to future covered expenditures. These cash flows are discounted to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the loss sharing reimbursement from the FDIC. The Company will offset any recorded provision for loan losses related to acquired loans by recording an increase in the FDIC indemnification asset in an amount equal to the increase in expected cash flow, which is the result of a decrease in expected cash flow of acquired loans. An increase in expected cash flows on acquired loans results in a decrease in cash flows on the FDIC indemnification asset, which is recognized in the future as amortization through non-interest income over the lesser of the term of the loss share agreement or the life of the loan.
	The Company incurs expenses related to the assets indemnified by the FDIC, and pursuant to the loss share agreements certain costs are reimbursable by the FDIC and are included in quarterly claims made by the Company. The estimates of reimbursements are netted against these covered expenses in the income statement.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents - For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, interest-earning balances at banks and Federal funds sold. Generally, Federal funds sold are repurchased the following day.
Marketable Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Investment Securities - Investment securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value and consist of debt instruments that are not classified as trading securities or as held to maturity securities. Investment securities held-to-maturity are reported at amortized cost. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method and are recorded on a trade date basis. Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their amortized cost that are other than temporary impairments would result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value and would be included in earnings as realized losses. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Nonmarketable Equity Securities – Nonmarketable equity securities include the costs of the Company’s investments in the stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”). As a condition of membership, the Bank is required to hold stock in the FHLB. These securities do not have a readily determinable fair value as their ownership is restricted and there is no market for these securities. The Bank carries these nonmarketable equity securities at cost and periodically evaluates them for impairment. Management considers these nonmarketable equity securities to be long-term investments. Accordingly, when evaluating these securities for impairment, management considers the ultimate recoverability of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. The primary factor supporting the carrying value of these securities is the commitment of the FHLB to perform its obligations, which includes providing credit and other services to the Bank. Upon request, the stock may be sold back to the FHLB, at cost.
	The Company has invested in the stock of several unaffiliated financial institutions. The Company owns less than five percent of the outstanding shares of each institution, and the stocks either have no quoted market value or are not readily marketable. Also included in nonmarketable equity securities is the investment in CSBC Statutory Trust I, Community Capital Corporation Statutory Trust I, Provident Community Bancshares Capital Trust I and Provident Community Bancshares Capital Trust II. See Note 4 – Investments and Note 11 – Borrowings.
Finance, Loan and Lease Receivables, Held-for-sale, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Loans Held for Sale – Loans intended for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. This includes, but may not be limited to, loans originated through the Company’s mortgage activities. Residential mortgage loans originated and intended for sale are comprised of accepting residential mortgage loan applications, qualifying borrowers to standards established by investors, funding residential mortgages and selling mortgages to investors under pre-existing commitments.
Finance, Loans and Leases Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Loans –Loans originated by the Company and which management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for any direct principal charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest on originated loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan. See Note 5 – Loans.
	Purchased Credit-Impaired (“PCI”) Loans - Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition without the carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. PCI loans are accounted for under the “Receivables” topic of the ASC when the loans have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Company will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the date of acquisition may include statistics such as internal risk grades and past due and nonaccrual status. Purchased impaired loans generally meet the Company’s definition for nonaccrual status. Any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation about the amount and timing of such cash flows. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the nonaccretable difference, and is available to absorb credit losses on those loans. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan losses. Subsequent significant increases in cash flows result in a reversal of the provision for loan losses to the extent of prior charges, or a reclassification of the nonaccretable difference with a positive impact on future interest income. For acquired loans subject to a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC, the FDIC indemnification asset will be adjusted prospectively in a similar, consistent manner with increases and decreases in expected cash flows limited to the term of the loss share agreements.
	Purchased Performing Loans – The Company accounts for performing loans acquired in business combinations using the contractual cash flows method of recognizing discount accretion based on the acquired loans’ contractual cash flows. Purchased performing loans are recorded at fair value, including a credit discount. The fair value discount is accreted as an adjustment to yield over the estimated lives of the loans. There is no allowance for loan losses established at the acquisition date for purchased performing loans. A provision for loan losses is recorded for any further deterioration in these loans subsequent to the acquisition.
	Nonperforming Loans – For all classes of loans, except PCI loans, loans are placed on non-accrual status upon becoming contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest (unless they are adequately secured by collateral, are in the process of collection and are reasonably expected to result in repayment), when terms are renegotiated below market levels in response to a financially distressed borrower or guarantor, or where substantial doubt about full repayment of principal or interest is evident.
	When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is reversed and the loan is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. All payments received on non-accrual loans are applied against the principal balance of the loan. A loan may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement and when doubt about repayment is resolved. Generally, for all classes of loans, a charge-off is recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and when it is possible to determine a reasonable estimate of the loss.
	Impaired Loans – For all classes of loans, except PCI loans, loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impaired loans may include all classes of nonaccrual loans and loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the interest rate implicit in the original agreement or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is probable, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.
	Loans Modified in a TDR - Loans are considered to be a TDR if, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial condition, the Company makes certain concessions to the original contract terms related to amount, interest rate, amortization or maturity that it would not otherwise consider. Generally, a nonaccrual loan that has been modified in a TDR remains on nonaccrual status for a period of at least six months to demonstrate that the borrower is able to meet the terms of the modified loan. However, performance prior to the modification, or significant events that coincide with the modification, are included in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual status at the time of loan modification or after a shorter performance period. If the borrower's ability to meet the revised payment schedule is uncertain, the loan remains on nonaccrual status.
Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses Policy [Policy Text Block]	Allowance for Loan Losses – The allowance for loan losses is based upon management's ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio and reflects an amount considered by management to be its best estimate of known and inherent losses in the portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment and complexity. In making the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management considers current economic and market conditions, independent loan reviews performed periodically by third parties, portfolio trends and concentrations, delinquency information, management's internal review of the loan portfolio, internal historical loss rates and other relevant factors. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations. In addition, regulatory examiners may require the Company to recognize changes to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Although provisions have been established by loan segments based upon management's assessment of their differing inherent loss characteristics, the entire allowance for losses on loans, other than the portions related to PCI loans and specific reserves on impaired loans, is available to absorb further loan losses in any segment. Further information regarding the Company’s policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan losses is presented in Note 5 – Loans.
Real Estate, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) - Real estate acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure is held for sale and is recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and further write-downs are made based on these valuations. Revenue and expenses from operations are included in other expense.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Premises and Equipment - Company premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 39.5 years for buildings and 3 to 7 years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the term of the respective lease or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred and additions and improvements to premises and equipment are capitalized. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gains or losses are reflected in current operations.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill andIntangible Assets - Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill and core deposit intangibles that result from the acquisition of other banks. Core deposit intangibles represent the value of long-term deposit relationships acquired in these transactions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the sum of the estimated fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less the estimated fair value of the liabilities assumed. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value.
	The goodwill impairment analysis is a two-step test. The first step, used to identify potential impairment, involves comparing the reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, there is an indication of potential impairment and the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment of goodwill assigned to that reporting unit.
	If required, the second step involves calculating an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which the first step indicated impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to the amount of goodwill calculated in a business combination, by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, as determined in the first step, over the aggregate estimated fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying value of the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. An impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit, and the loss establishes a new basis of goodwill.
	In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, which gives entities the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to test goodwill for impairment on a reporting-unit-by-reporting-unit basis. If, after performing the qualitative assessment, an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the entity would perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC 350. However, if, after applying the qualitative assessment, the entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required.
	The Company performed the qualitative assessment as outlined in ASU 2011-08 in assessing the carrying value of goodwill related to its acquisitions as of October 1, 2014, its annual test date, and determined that it was unlikely that the fair value was less than the carrying amount and that no further testing or impairment charge was necessary. Should the Company’s future earnings and cash flows decline and/or discount rates increase, an impairment charge to goodwill and other intangible assets may be required. There have been no events subsequent to the October 1, 2014 evaluation that caused the Company to perform an interim review of the carrying value of goodwill related to any of its acquisitions.
	Core deposit intangibles are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the deposit accounts acquired (generally ten years on a straight line basis).
Qualified Affordable Housing Project Investments [Policy Text Block]	Investment in a Qualified Affordable Housing Project - The Company currently invests in the Community Affordable Housing Equity Corporation (“CAHEC”), a qualified affordable housing project. CAHEC assists in providing low-income housing and historic preservation in the United States. The Company assumed this investment in connection with the acquisition of Provident Community. As of December 31, 2014, the Company holds an investment of $508 thousand which is recorded in other assets on the balance sheet. There are no commitments or contingent commitments to provide additional capital. In connection with the investment in CAHEC, the Company recognized a net income tax benefit of approximately $10 thousand in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2014. No impairment was recognized or identified for this investment at December 31, 2014.
Repurchase Agreements, Valuation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase – The Company sells certain securities under agreements to repurchase. The agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions and the obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The dollar amount of the securities underlying the agreements remains in the asset accounts.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and advertising communication costs the first time the advertising takes place. The Company may establish accruals for anticipated advertising expenses within the course of a fiscal year.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes - Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities (excluding deferred tax assets and liabilities related to components of other comprehensive income). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the expected amount most likely to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets generally is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income and recoverable taxes paid in prior years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as state and local income tax in several jurisdictions. Tax years 2011 through 2014 remain open to examination by the Federal taxing authority. Interest and penalties on income tax assessments or income tax refunds are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of noninterest expense.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Per Share Results - Basic and diluted earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if all dilutive stock options were exercised.
	In 2012, the Company issued 78,000 restricted stock awards, and repurchased 3,000 shares of common stock in open market transactions pursuant to the stock repurchase program approved by the board of directors in November 2012. Also in 2012, the Company issued 11,857,226 shares of Common Stock in connection with the merger with Citizens South. In 2013, the Company issued 174,000 restricted stock awards, issued 60,943 shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options and repurchased 56,267 shares in open market transactions. In 2014, the Company issued 238,613 restricted stock awards, issued 54,199 shares pursuant to the exercise of stock options, repurchased 136,743 shares of Common Stock in open market transactions and acquired 19,942 shares in connection with satisfaction of tax withholding obligations on vested restricted stock.
	Basic and diluted earnings per common share have been computed based upon net income as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding or assumed to be outstanding as summarized below in each case as of December 31,:
		2014		2013		2012
	Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excluding unvested restricted shares		43,924,457		43,965,408		35,101,407
	Effect of dilutive stock options and unvested shares		322,543		87,845		6,822
	Weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding		44,247,000		44,053,253		35,108,229
	There were 1,927,740 outstanding stock options and 842,170 outstanding restricted shares that were anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2014. There were 243,617 dilutive stock options and 78,925 dilutive restricted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2014. There were 2,177,592 outstanding stock options and 730,514 outstanding restricted shares outstanding that were anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were 47,959 dilutive stock options and 39,885 dilutive restricted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were 3,118,891 outstanding stock options and 640,239 outstanding restricted shares outstanding that were anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2012. There were 801 dilutive stock options and 6,021 dilutive restricted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2012. See Note 20 – Employee and Director Benefit Plans for more information.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Share-Based Compensation - The Company may grant share-based compensation to employees, non-employee directors and other eligible parties in the form of stock options, restricted stock or other instruments. Share-based compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant and is charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is currently up to seven years. The fair value of stock options is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and related assumptions. The amortization of share-based compensation is adjusted for actual forfeiture experience. The fair value of restricted stock awards, subject to share price performance vesting requirements, is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation and related estimated assumptions for volatility and a risk free interest rate.
	The compensation expense for share-based compensation plans was $1.1 million, $1.8 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities - The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements, considered to be cash flow hedges, as part of the management of interest rate risk to modify the repricing characteristics of certain portions of its portfolios of interest-bearing liabilities. Under the guidelines of ASC 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging,” all derivative instruments are required to be carried at fair value on the balance sheet.
	Cash flow hedges are accounted for by recording the fair value of the derivative instrument on the balance sheet as either a freestanding asset or liability, with a corresponding offset recorded in other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity, net of tax. Amounts are reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement in the period or periods the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Cash flows from cash flow hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. Derivative gains and losses not effective in hedging the expected cash flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in the income statement. At the hedge’s inception and at least quarterly thereafter, a formal assessment is performed to determine the effectiveness of the cash flow hedge. If it is determined that a derivative instrument has not been or will not continue to be highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued. See Note 17 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities.
	Fair value hedges are accounted for under ASC Topic 815 which requires that the method selected for assessing hedge effectiveness must be reasonable, be defined at the inception of the hedging relationship and be applied consistently throughout the hedging relationship. The Company uses the dollar-offset method for assessing effectiveness using the cumulative approach. The dollar-offset method compares the fair value of the hedging derivative with the fair value of the hedged exposure. The cumulative approach involves comparing the cumulative changes in the hedging derivative’s fair value to the cumulative changes in the hedged exposure’s fair value. The calculation of dollar offset is the change in clean fair value of the hedging derivative, divided by the change in fair value of the hedged exposure attributable to changes in the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) curve. To the extent that the cumulative change in fair value of the hedging derivative offsets from 80% to 125% of the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged exposure, the hedge will be deemed effective. The change in fair value of the hedging derivative and the change in fair value of the hedged exposure are recorded in earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness is also reflected in current earnings. Cash flows from fair value hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.
	If a derivative instrument designated as a fair value hedge is terminated or the hedge designation removed, the difference between a hedged item’s then carrying amount and its face amount is recognized into income over the original hedge period. Likewise, if a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is terminated or the hedge designation removed, related amounts accumulated in other accumulated comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings over the original hedge period during which the hedged item affects income.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements – The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements:
	In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-01, "Investments --Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects". This update revises the criteria required to elect the measurement and presentation alternative under ASC 323-740 and simplifies the method of amortization of the investment for entities investing in flow-through limited liability entities that manage or invest in affordable housing projects qualifying for the low-income housing tax credit. The update allows entities that meet the required criteria to qualify to present the investment performance net of income tax expense to better represent the economics of the investment (rather than traditional investment accounting under the equity or cost method). If the entity qualifies for the measurement and presentation alternative, it may amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the related tax credits received (the proportional allocation method). The amendments must be retrospectively applied for all periods presented. For public business entities this update is effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2014. The related disclosures can be found in Note 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of these financial statements.
	In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2014-04”). ASU 2014-04 amended the Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors subtopic of the ASC to address the reclassification of consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate upon foreclosure. The amendments clarify the criteria for concluding that an in-substance repossession or foreclosure has occurred, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. The amendments also outline interim and annual disclosure requirements. The amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Companies are allowed to use either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method when adopting this update. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 changes the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. The guidance will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures” (“ASU 2014-11”). ASU 2014-11 makes limited amendments to the guidance on accounting for certain repurchase agreements. The new guidance (1) requires entities to account for repurchase-to-maturity transactions as secured borrowings (rather than as sales with forward repurchase agreements), (2) eliminates accounting guidance on linked repurchase financing transactions, and (3) expands disclosure requirements related to certain transfers of financial assets that are accounted for as sales and certain transfers (specifically, repos, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions) accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendments will be effective for the Company for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance but does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 clarifies that performance targets associated with stock compensation should be treated as a performance condition and should not be reflected in the grant date fair value of the stock award. The amendments will be effective for the Company for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2015. The Company will apply the guidance to all stock awards granted or modified after the amendments are effective. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-14, "Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors: Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure" (“ASU 2014-19”). This update addresses the diversity in practice regarding the classification and measurement of foreclosed loans which were part of a government-sponsored loan guarantee program. If certain criteria are met, the loan should be derecognized and a separate other receivable should be recorded upon foreclosure at the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. This update is effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The update may be adopted either prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, provided the entity has adopted ASU 2014-04. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance but does not expect these updates to have a material effect on its financial statements.
