BANCTRUST FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2012 AND 2011
Note 1: General Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of BancTrust Financial Group, Inc. and its subsidiary bank (referred to collectively in this discussion as "BancTrust," "the Company," "our," "us" or "we") have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for audited financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments and consolidating entries, consisting of normal and recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management of the Company ("Management") are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Results for interim periods may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for the year or any other period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of condition and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans.
A substantial portion of the Company's loans are secured by real estate in the southern two-thirds of Alabama and northwest Florida. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in market conditions in these areas. Management believes that the allowance for losses on loans and leases is adequate. Management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and leases, and future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan and lease losses. Such agencies may require the Company to make changes to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of 2011 balances have been made to conform to classifications used in 2012. These reclassifications did not change shareholders' equity or net income (loss).
Note 2: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an update to the accounting standards relating to fair value measurement for the purpose of amending current guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This update, which is a joint effort between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), amends existing fair value measurement guidance to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This update clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles in existing guidance and requires additional fair value disclosures. The update permits measuring financial assets and liabilities on a net credit risk basis if certain criteria are met, increases disclosure surrounding company-determined market prices (Level 3) for financial instruments, and also requires the fair value hierarchy disclosure of financial assets and liabilities that are not recognized at fair value in the financial statements, but are included in disclosures at fair value. This update was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued an update to the accounting standards relating to the presentation of comprehensive income, which allows financial statement issuers to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Subsequently, in December, 2011, the FASB issued another update to defer the effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income as previously established in the June 2011 update. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied retrospectively. The provisions of these updates affected the Company’s financial statement format, but did not impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
In July 2012, the FASB issued an update to the accounting standards relating to testing for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The update is intended to reduce cost and complexity by providing an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired to determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. The update also enhances the consistency of impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories by permitting an entity to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to calculate the asset’s fair value when testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment, which is equivalent to the impairment testing requirements for other long-lived assets. The update is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

At September 30, 2012, the Company had 16 investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position or impaired for the less than 12 months time frame and 2 investment securities in an unrealized loss position or impaired for the more than 12 months time frame. The Company has one bond whose impairment was deemed in 2009 and again in 2011 to be other-than-temporary. All other investment securities' impairments are deemed by Management to be temporary. All mortgage-backed securities are backed by one-to-four-family mortgages, and approximately 99.1 percent of the mortgage-backed securities represent U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise securities. These securities have fluctuated with the changes in market interest rates on home mortgages. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s only non-U.S. government-sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed security has been negatively affected by liquidity risk considerations and by concerns about potential default and delinquency risk of the underlying individual mortgage loans. The Company concluded in 2009 and again in 2011 that a portion of its unrealized loss position of this security is other-than-temporary. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to potential credit loss of $400 thousand in 2009 and $200 thousand in 2011 on this security. The amount related to credit loss was determined based on a discounted cash flow method that takes into account several factors including default rates, prepayment rates, delinquency rates, and foreclosure and loss severity of the underlying collateral. Changes in these factors in the future could result in an increase in the amount deemed to be credit-related other-than-temporary impairment, which would result in the Company recognizing additional impairment charges to earnings for this security. Additionally, the Company recorded $522 thousand and $736 thousand in accumulated other comprehensive loss (pre-tax) related to this security at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. No credit-related other-than-temporary impairment occurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. Management will continue to closely monitor this security. The security has an estimated fair value of $2.774 million and represents 94.10 percent of the unrealized losses at September 30, 2012 in the greater than 12 months category. Management believes that the fair value of obligations of U.S. government sponsored enterprises and obligations of state and political subdivisions has changed due to current market conditions and not due to credit concerns related to the issuers of the securities. The Company does not believe any credit-related other-than-temporary impairments exist related to these investment securities. As of September 30, 2012, there was no intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale. Furthermore, Management does not believe it is likely that the Company will be required to sell such securities before a recovery of the carrying value.
The following table summarizes the changes in the amount of credit losses on the Company's investment securities recognized in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:
| | Three Months Ended | | | Nine Months Ended | |

The following section describes the composition of the various categories in our loan and lease portfolio and discusses management of risk in these categories.
Commercial and Industrial loans, or C and I loans, include loans to commercial customers for use in business to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases, or other expansion projects. These credits may be loans and lines to financially strong borrowers, secured by inventories, equipment, or receivables, or secured in whole or in part by real estate unrelated to the principal purpose of the loan, and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrower. Variable rate loans in this portfolio have interest rates that are periodically adjusted. Risk is minimized in this portfolio by requiring adequate cash flow to service the debt and the personal guaranties of principals of the borrowers. The portfolio of C and I loans decreased $12.017 million, or 4.3 percent, from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012, as a result of paydowns primarily in the south Alabama region.
Agricultural loans include loans to fund seasonal production and longer term investments in land, buildings, equipment, and breeding stock. The repayment of agricultural loans is dependent on the successful production and marketing of a product. Risk is minimized in this portfolio by performing a review of the borrower’s financial data and cash flow to service the debt, and by obtaining personal guaranties of principals of the borrower. This type of lending represents $1.223 million, or less than one percent, of the total loan portfolio. The portfolio of agricultural loans increased $195 thousand, or 19.0 percent, from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012, as a result of new loan activity primarily in the south Alabama region.
Equipment Leases include leases that were acquired during the acquisition of The Peoples Bank and Trust Company. BankTrust is not actively engaged in equipment leasing. These leases paid down $3.273 million from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012. Management does not believe this portfolio represents a significant credit risk, since these loans are secured by the equipment being leased, and the lessees continue to maintain a strong level of creditworthiness.
Commercial Real Estate loans include commercial construction loans, land and land development loans, and other commercial real estate loans.
Commercial construction, land, and land development loans include loans for the development of residential housing projects, loans for the development of commercial and industrial use property, and loans for the purchase and improvement of raw land. These loans are secured in whole or in part by the underlying real estate collateral and are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrower. The Bank’s lenders work to cultivate long-term relationships with established developers. The Bank disburses funds for construction projects as pre-specified stages of construction are completed. The portfolio of commercial construction loans decreased $22.639 million, or 9.0 percent, from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of paydowns and charge-offs.
Other commercial real estate loans include loans secured by commercial and industrial properties, apartment buildings, office or mixed-use facilities, strip shopping centers, and other commercial property. These loans are generally guaranteed by the principals of the borrower. The portfolio of commercial real estate loans decreased $33.493 million, or 7.9 percent, from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of paydowns.
Risk is minimized in this portfolio by requiring a review of the borrower’s financial data and verification of the borrower’s income prior to making a commitment to fund the loan. Personal guaranties are obtained for substantially all construction loans to builders. Personal financial statements of guarantors are obtained as part of the loan underwriting process. For construction loans, regular site inspections are performed upon completion of each construction phase, prior to advancing additional funds for additional phases. Commercial construction and commercial real estate lending has been curtailed over the past three years as a result of a combination of factors, including a decline in demand, lack of qualified borrowers and regulatory pressures on all banks to curtail lending in the commercial real estate market.
Residential Construction loans include loans to individuals for the construction of their residences, either primary or secondary, where the borrower is the owner and independently engages the builder. Residential construction loans also include loans to builders for the construction of one-to-four family residences for which the collateral, a proposed one-to-four family dwelling, is the primary source of repayment. These loans are made to builders to finance the construction of homes that are either pre-sold or those that are built on a speculative basis, although speculative lending in this category has been strictly limited and controlled over the past three years. Loan proceeds are to be disbursed incrementally as construction is completed. The portfolio of residential construction loans increased $115 thousand, or 0.9 percent, from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of increased loan activity with local builders in the northwest Florida region.
Residential Mortgage loans include conventional mortgage loans on one-to-four family residential properties. These properties may serve as the borrower’s primary residence, vacation home, or investment property. We sell the majority of our residential mortgage loans originated with terms to maturity of 15 years or greater in the secondary market. We generally originate fixed and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans using secondary market underwriting and documentation standards. Also included in this portfolio are home equity loans and lines of credit. This type of lending, which is secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence, allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home. Risk is minimized in this portfolio by reviewing the borrower’s financial data and ability to meet both existing financial obligations and the proposed loan obligation, and by verification of the borrower’s income. The portfolio of residential mortgage loans decreased $16.592 million, or 6.8 percent, from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012, as a result of paydowns, charge-offs, and foreclosures.
Consumer loans include a variety of secured and unsecured personal loans including automobile loans, marine loans, loans for household and personal purpose, and all other direct consumer installment loans. Risk is minimized in this portfolio by reviewing the borrower’s financial data, ability to meet existing obligations and the proposed loan obligation, and verification of the borrower’s income. The portfolio of consumer loans decreased $3.562 million, or 8.0 percent, from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012, primarily as a result of paydowns. Repossessions and charge-offs have been minimal in this portfolio since December 31, 2011.
Other loans comprise primarily loans to municipalities to fund operating expenses during periods prior to revenue collection and to fund capital projects. The portfolio of other loans decreased $1.682 million, or 26.8 percent, from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012, as a result of paydowns.
Non-Accrual Loans
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, non-accrual loans totaled $143.877 million and $96.592 million, respectively, which included non-accruing restructured loans of $3.738 million and $5.296 million, respectively. The allowance for loan and lease losses allocated to restructured loans at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $2.195 million and $392 thousand, respectively. The amount of interest income that would have been recorded during the first nine months of 2012, if all non-accrual loans had been current in accordance with their original terms, was $5.864 million. The amount of interest income actually recognized on these loans during the first nine months of 2012 was $1.209 million. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, performing restructured loans totaled $8.611 million and $7.253 million, respectively. There was no material effect on interest income recognition as a result of the modification of these loans.
Non-accrual loans at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, segregated by class of loans, were as follows:

Impaired Loans
Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that all amounts contractually due, including scheduled principal and interest payments, are not likely to be collected. Factors considered by Management in determining if a loan is impaired include payment status, probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due and value of collateral for collateral dependent loans. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. All loans placed on non-accrual status are considered to be impaired. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate, or the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Credit Quality Indicators
A risk grading matrix is utilized to assign a risk grade to each loan. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 9. A description of the general characteristics of the 9 risk grades follows:
| · | Grades 1 and 2 – These grades include “excellent” loans which are virtually risk-free and are secured by cash-equivalent instruments or readily marketable collateral, or are within guidelines to borrowers with liquid financial statements. These loans have excellent sources of repayment with no significant identifiable risk of collection, and conform in all respects to Bank policy, guidelines, underwriting standards, and regulations. |
| · | Grade 3 – This grade includes “guideline” loans that have excellent sources of repayment, with no significant identifiable risk of collection, and that conform to Bank policy, guidelines, underwriting standards, and regulations. These loans have documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds minimum guidelines and have adequate secondary sources to repay the debt. |
| · | Grade 4 – This grade includes “satisfactory” loans that have adequate sources of repayment with little identifiable risk of collection. These loans generally conform to Bank policy, guidelines, and underwriting standards with limited exceptions that have been adequately mitigated by other factors, and they have documented historical cash flow that meets or exceeds minimum guidelines and adequate secondary sources to repay the debt. |
| · | Grade 5 – This grade includes “low satisfactory” loans that show signs of weakness in either adequate sources of repayment or collateral, but have demonstrated mitigating factors that minimize the risk of delinquency or loss. These loans have additional exceptions to Bank policy, guidelines, or underwriting standards that have been properly mitigated by other factors, unproved or insufficient primary sources of repayment that appear sufficient to service the debt at the time, or marginal or unproven secondary sources to repay the debt. |
Consumer loans with grades 1 through 5 are identified as “Pass.”
| · | Grade 6 – This grade includes “special mention” loans that are currently protected but are potentially weak. These loans have potential or actual weaknesses that may weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Bank’s credit position at some future date. These loans may have well-defined weaknesses in the primary repayment source but are protected by the secondary source of repayment. |
| · | Grade 7 – This grade includes “substandard” loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
| · | Grade 8 – This grade includes “doubtful” loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or repayment in full, on the basis of currently known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. |
| · | Grade 9 – This grade includes “loss” loans that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continued reporting as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be realized in the future. |
The Bank did not have any loss (grade 9) loans at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
The tables below set forth credit exposure for the commercial and consumer residential portfolio based on internally assigned grades, and the consumer portfolio based on payment activity at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. These tables reflect continuing issues with credit quality in the construction, land and land development portfolio.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the Company’s recorded investment in loans and the allocation of the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses, charge-offs and recoveries by loan category as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.
The Company continues to experience the adverse effects of a severe downturn in the real estate markets in which it operates, and this has led to a significant increase in defaults by borrowers compared to historical periods, a significant increase in loans charged-off, and a reduction in the value of real estate serving as collateral for some of the Company's loans.

No troubled debt restructurings made within the previous twelve months defaulted during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2012. Once a loan has been modified as a troubled debt restructuring, it is considered an impaired loan. A specific valuation allowance is allocated to that loan in the allowance for loan and lease losses, if necessary, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate, or the fair value of the collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral.

The Company carries its other real estate owned at the estimated fair value less any cost to dispose. Since 2007, there has been a substantial slowdown in the real estate markets across the U.S., including in the markets where the Company does business. This slowdown, together with other factors (as discussed in Note 1), has resulted in a substantial decrease in the value of the Company’s other real estate owned. This decrease in value has materially and adversely affected the Company’s earnings and capital. If real estate values in the Company’s markets remain depressed or decline further, the Company could experience further adverse effects. Other real estate owned activity is summarized as follows:

The Company currently expects to contribute a minimum of $1.080 million to its pension plans in 2012, of which $1.021 million was contributed in the first nine months of 2012. The weighted-average discount rate assumed in the actuarial calculation of the benefit obligation for 2012 was 4.50 percent.
Note 6: Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was computed by dividing net loss to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, which consists of issued shares less treasury stock.
Diluted loss per share for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was computed by dividing net loss to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the dilutive effect of the shares awarded under the Company's stock option plans and the warrants issued in connection with the issuance of preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury, assuming the exercise of all in-the-money options and warrants, based on the treasury stock method using an average fair market value of the stock during the respective periods.
The following tables present the loss per share calculations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company excluded all options and warrants for the calculations of diluted loss per share for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 because such common stock equivalents would be antidilutive to the loss per share.

Note 7: Commitments
The Company, as part of its ongoing business operations, issues financial guaranties in the form of financial and performance standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are contingent commitments issued by the Company generally to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. A financial standby letter of credit is a commitment by the Company to guarantee a customer's repayment of an outstanding loan or financial obligation. In a performance standby letter of credit, the Company guarantees a customer's performance under a contractual non-financial obligation for which it receives a fee. The Company has recourse against the customer for any amount it is required to pay to a third party under a standby letter of credit. Revenues are recognized over the life of the standby letter of credit. At September 30, 2012, the Company had standby letters of credit outstanding with maturities ranging from less than one year to three years. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under its standby letters of credit at September 30, 2012 was $19.217 million, and that sum represents the Company's maximum credit risk under these arrangements. At September 30, 2012, the Company had $192 thousand of liabilities associated with standby letter of credit agreements.
On July 2, 2012, BankTrust entered into a Final Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (“Countrywide”). Pursuant to the Agreement, BankTrust paid Countrywide $3.520 million as full and final settlement of any and all claims and disputes related to mortgage loans sold by BankTrust or its predecessors in interest to Countrywide prior to July 2, 2012 pursuant to loan purchase agreements between BankTrust, or its predecessors in interest, and Countrywide. The Agreement contains a mutual release whereby BankTrust and Countrywide fully, finally and completely release each other and their respective related parties from any claims and disputes related to the mortgage loans transferred by BankTrust or its predecessors in interest to Countrywide. The Agreement was made to compromise and settle the claims and disputes at issue and is not an admission of liability or any other matter by either BankTrust or Countrywide. This settlement resulted in the Company recognizing an expense of $3.520 million in the first nine months of 2012.
Note 8: Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting standards define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Accounting standards also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The applicable standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company evaluates fair value measurement inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between levels. For example, changes in market activity or the addition of new unobservable inputs could, in the Company’s judgment, cause a transfer to either a higher or lower level. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, there were no transfers between levels.
The Company utilizes a third-party valuation service provider to value its available for sale investment securities portfolio. Despite most of these securities being U.S. Government agency debt obligations, agency mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities traded in active markets, the fair values are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker-quote based applications. Inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, prepayment speeds and other relevant items. These are inputs used by a third-party pricing service used by the Company. To validate the appropriateness of the valuations provided by the third party, the Company regularly updates its understanding of the inputs used and compares valuations to an additional third party source. Due to the nature and methodology of these valuations, the Company considers these fair value measurements as Level 2.

Loans considered impaired are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments to reflect write-downs that are based on the market price or current appraised value of the collateral, adjusted to reflect local market conditions or other economic factors. After evaluating the underlying collateral, the fair value of the impaired loans is determined and specific reserves are allocated from the allowance for loan and lease losses. The recorded fair value reflects the loan balance less the specifically allocated reserve. Impaired loans for which no reserve has been specifically allocated are not included in the table above.
Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is initially accounted for at fair value, less estimated costs to dispose of the property. Any excess of the recorded investment over fair value, less costs to dispose, is charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses at the time of foreclosure. Updated appraisals or evaluations are obtained at least annually for all OREO properties. These appraisals are used to update fair value estimates. A provision is charged to earnings for subsequent losses on OREO when these updates indicate such losses have occurred. The ability of the Company to recover the carrying value of OREO is based upon future sales of the real estate. The ability to effect such sales is subject to market conditions and other factors beyond the Company’s control, and future declines in the value of the real estate could result in a charge to earnings. The recognition of sales and sales gains is dependent upon whether the nature and terms of the sales, including possible future involvement of the Company, if any, meet certain defined requirements. If those requirements are not met, sale and gain recognition is deferred.
Fair value measurements for impaired loans and other real estate owned include the use of external appraisals obtained annually for impaired loans and other real estate owned over $1 million. Impaired loans and other real estate owned under $1 million require a current internal property evaluation and external appraisals are obtained biannually. This process was implemented during the first quarter of 2012, will be completed by the end of 2012, and will be continued on an ongoing basis. Once an appraisal has been obtained, the fair value is determined based on appraised value less estimated costs to sell. For impaired loans that have not yet received a current appraisal, discounted appraisals less estimated costs to sell have been used to determine fair value. Discounts have predominantly been in the range of 0% to 25%, with isolated instances up to 60%.
Accounting standards require disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the Statements of Condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Also, the fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to Management as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
CASH, DUE FROM BANKS, FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD AND INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS - For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE - Fair value for securities available for sale is primarily estimated using market prices for similar securities. For any Level 3 securities, the Company generally uses a discounted cash flow methodology. There were no Level 3 securities at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
LOANS AND LEASES - For equity lines and other loans or leases with short-term or variable rate characteristics, the carrying value reduced by an estimate for credit losses inherent in the portfolio is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of all other loans and leases is estimated by discounting their future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered for loans and leases with similar terms, reduced by an estimate of credit losses inherent in the portfolio. The discount rates used are commensurate with the interest rate and prepayment risks involved for the various types of loans. The estimated fair value also includes an estimate of certain liquidity risk.
DEPOSITS - The fair value disclosed for demand deposits (i.e., interest- and non-interest-bearing demand, savings and money market savings) is equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair value for certificates of deposit is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates of deposit to a schedule of aggregated monthly maturities.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS - The fair value for these short-term liabilities is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on similar borrowings.
FHLB ADVANCES AND LONG-TERM DEBT - The fair value of the Company's fixed rate borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flows, based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements.
COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT - The value of these unrecognized financial instruments is estimated based on the fee income associated with the commitments which, in the absence of credit exposure, is considered to approximate their settlement value. Since no significant credit exposure existed, and because such fee income is not material to the Company's financial statements at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of these commitments is not presented.
Many of the Company's assets and liabilities are short-term financial instruments whose carrying amounts reported in the Statement of Condition approximate fair value. These items include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing bank balances, federal funds sold, other short-term borrowings and accrued interest receivable and payable balances. The estimated fair value of the Company's remaining on-balance sheet financial instruments as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is summarized below.

Certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from fair value disclosure requirements. The disclosures also do not include certain intangible assets, such as customer relationships and deposit base intangibles. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
Note 9: Deferred Interest and Dividend Payments
As previously reported, commencing with its April 30, 2012 interest payment, the Company began deferring the payment of quarterly interest payments on both issues of junior subordinated debentures relating to its outstanding trust preferred securities, and, commencing with its May 15, 2012 dividend, the Company suspended the payment of quarterly cash dividends on its preferred stock issued to the US Treasury. The Company continues to account for these deferred or suspended obligations. Although the Company has suspended the declaration and payment of preferred stock dividends at the present time, net income (loss) available to common shareholders reflects the dividends as if declared because of their cumulative nature. As of September 30, 2012, the cumulative amount of dividends owed to the US Treasury and the cumulative amount of interest deferred on the subordinated debentures were $1.570 million and $568 thousand, respectively.
Note 10: Pending Merger with Trustmark Corporation
On May 29, 2012, BancTrust and Trustmark Corporation (“Trustmark”) announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which BancTrust has agreed to merge into Trustmark. Under the terms of the merger agreement, which has been approved unanimously by the Boards of Directors of BancTrust and Trustmark, and which has been approved by BancTrust common shareholders at a special meeting held on September, 26, 2012, holders of BancTrust common stock will receive 0.125 of a share of Trustmark common stock for each share of BancTrust common stock in a tax-free exchange. In connection with the merger Trustmark intends to repurchase the $50.0 million of BancTrust preferred stock and associated warrant issued to the U. S. Department of Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program.
On October 5, 2012, the Company and Trustmark entered into an amendment to the merger agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the parties agreed to (1) close the merger of BancTrust with and into Trustmark on the later to occur of (a) the fifth business day following satisfaction or waiver (subject to applicable law) of the last to occur of the closing conditions (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived at the closing), and (b) January 25, 2013, and (2) extend the outside closing date from December 31, 2012 to February 28, 2013. This extension provides additional time to receive regulatory approval and to ensure a smooth transition and operational conversion to Trustmark systems in early 2013. All other material aspects of the merger agreement remain unchanged.
