Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and provisions for credit losses considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.
NewBridge Bancorp (“Bancorp” or the “Company”) is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of North Carolina (“NC”) and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). Bancorp’s principal asset is stock of its banking subsidiary, NewBridge Bank (the “Bank”), a NC chartered non-member bank. Accordingly, throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there are frequent references to the Bank.
Through its branch network, the Bank provides a wide range of banking products to individuals, small to medium-sized businesses and other organizations in its market areas, including interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking accounts, certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts, overdraft protection, personal and corporate trust services, safe deposit boxes, online banking, corporate cash management, brokerage, financial planning and asset management, mortgage loans and secured and unsecured loans.
In addition, as of June 30, 2009, the Bank also operated three active non-bank subsidiaries: Peoples Finance Company of Lexington, Inc. (“Peoples Finance”), LSB Properties, Inc. (“LSB Properties”) and Prince George Court Holdings, Inc. (“Prince George”). Peoples Finance is a state licensed finance company. As a finance company, Peoples Finance offers secured and unsecured loans to individuals up to a maximum of $30,000 secured, and $10,000 unsecured, as well as dealer originated loans. The Company announced during the second quarter of 2008 that Peoples Finance will no longer proactively solicit new loans to the Bank’s loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2009, Peoples Finance had approximately $4.5 million of loans outstanding. LSB Properties owns the majority of real estate acquired in settlement of loans of the Bank, while Prince George owns a condominium project in Georgetown, South Carolina, acquired through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, as described in greater detail in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, under the heading “Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses”.
Bancorp has one non-bank subsidiary, FNB Financial Services Capital Trust I (“FNB Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, formed to facilitate the issuance of trust preferred securities. FNB Trust is not consolidated in Bancorp’s financial statements.
The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other relevant information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2009 (SEC File No. 000-11448) (the “Annual Report”). This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.
Certain items for 2008 have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Note 2 — Net Income Per Share
Basic and diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and restricted stock grants were exercised, resulting in the issuance of common stock sharing in the net income of the Company. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, there were 3,402,477 options and 745,748 options, respectively, which were antidilutive since the exercise price exceeded the average market price for the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, there were 3,406,096 options and 744,542 options, respectively, which were antidilutive.
A reconciliation of the basic average common shares outstanding to the diluted average common shares outstanding is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | Six Months Ended |
| | June 30 | | June 30 |

Note 5 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted SFAS 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), as of January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities for financial statement purposes and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy with the highest level priority given to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The next level of priority is given to other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability while the least priority is given to unobservable inputs. The fair value measurement requirements in SFAS 157 supersedes the requirements of various other statements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that required fair value valuation and establishes a more consistent basis for determining the fair value. SFAS 157 does not establish any new fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not result in any material effect on the Company’s financial position or operating results.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, which delayed until the first quarter of 2009 the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The effective date for SFAS 157 for these nonfinancial assets and liabilities was further delayed until the second quarter of 2009 as a result of the issuance of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, as described below. The adoption of FSP 157-2 did not result in any material effect on the Company’s financial position or operating results. The Company reports fair value on a limited basis, most notably for available for sale investment securities and mortgage loans held for sale. However, impairment, which could result in reporting at fair value, is considered for other purposes, including impaired loans and other than temporary impairment on held to maturity investment securities. The fair value for such impaired assets is measured on a non-recurring basis.
The Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities that meet the deferral criteria set forth in FSP 157-2 include core deposit intangibles and real estate acquired in settlement of loans, which primarily represents collateral that is received in satisfaction of troubled loans. The adoption of SFAS 157 for these nonfinancial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3, which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active. The Company adopted FSP 157-3 upon issuance. The adoption of this Staff Position did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results.
In April 2009, the FASB issued three related Staff Positions to (1) clarify the application of SFAS 157 to fair value measurements in the current economic environment, (2) modify the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities, and (3) require companies to disclose the fair values of financial instruments in interim periods. The Company adopted these Staff Positions effective with the period ending June 30, 2009. None of the Staff Positions had a significant impact on financial condition or results of operations, but each is described in more detail below.
FSP FAS 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The Staff Position emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale), between market participations at the measurement date under current market conditions.
12
FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities.
FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized information in interim reporting periods.

| | | | | | | | | |
The Company has adopted SFAS 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB 115” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to report eligible financial instruments at fair value subject to conditions stated in the pronouncement including adoption of SFAS 157 discussed above. The purpose of SFAS 159 is to improve financial reporting by mitigating volatility in earnings related to current reporting requirements. The Company adopted SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2008 and did not elect the fair value option for any asset or liability.
The Company has also adopted SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued. SFAS 165 defines (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which a reporting entity’s management should evaluate events
13
or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and (iii) the disclosures an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 also requires entities to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and the nature and estimated financial effects of certain subsequent events. The Company adopted SFAS 165 effective June 30, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not result in any material effect on the Company’s financial position or operating results.
Note 6 — Stock Compensation Plans
The Company recorded $29,000 and $28,000 of total stock-based compensation expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively and $59,000 and $53,000 of total stock-based compensation expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively, pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The stock-based compensation expense is calculated on a ratable basis over the vesting periods of the related options and restricted stock grants and is reported under personnel expense. This expense had an immaterial impact on the Company’s reported cash flows. As of June 30, 2009, there was $291,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense. This expense will be fully recognized by March of 2013.
For purposes of determining estimated fair value under SFAS 123(R), the Company has computed the estimated fair values of all stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, for stock options and restricted stock grants granted prior to December 31, 2008, has applied the assumptions set forth in the Annual Report. During the first six months of 2009, no stock options or restricted stock grants were granted to employees.
Note 7 — U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program
Pursuant to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”), on December 12, 2008, Bancorp issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury (i) 52,372 shares of Bancorp’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2,567,255 shares of Bancorp’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.06 per share, representing an aggregate market price of approximately $7.9 million, for an aggregate purchase price of $52,372,000 in cash. The Warrant may be exercised by the U.S. Treasury at any time before it expires on December 12, 2018. The Series A Preferred Stock can be redeemed in the first three years with the proceeds from the issuance of certain qualifying Tier 1 capital or after three years with any funds. The carrying value of the Warrant of $1,497,000 was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Series A Preferred Stock pays cumulative dividends of five percent for the first five years and nine percent thereafter, unless Bancorp redeems the shares.
Note 8 — Subsequent Events
In accordance with SFAS 165 the Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 7, 2009, and has determined that there are no subsequent events that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or operating results.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The discussion presented herein is intended to provide an overview of the changes in financial condition and results of operations during the time periods presented as required by Item 303 of Regulation S-K for NewBridge Bancorp (“Bancorp” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary NewBridge Bank (the “Bank”).
The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts and results of operations of the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis is intended to complement the unaudited financial statements, notes and supplemental financial data in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and should be read in conjunction therewith.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements represent expectations and beliefs of Bancorp including but not limited to Bancorp’s operations, performance, financial condition, growth or strategies. These forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “should”, “estimates”, “believes” and variations of these words and other similar statements. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current projections depending on a variety of important factors, including without limitation: (1) in October of 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) was signed into law, followed in February 2009 by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”). In addition, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) and federal banking regulators are implementing a number of programs to address capital and liquidity issues in the banking system, all of which may have significant effects on Bancorp and the banking industry, the exact nature and extent of which cannot be determined at this time; (2) the strength of the United States economy generally, and the strength of the local economies in which Bancorp conducts operations, may be different than expected, resulting in, among other things, a continued deterioration in credit quality, including the resultant effect on Bancorp’s loan portfolio and allowance for credit losses; (3) the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”); (4) inflation, deflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; (5) adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other capital markets (including changes in interest rate and market liquidity conditions) and the impact of such conditions on Bancorp’s capital markets and capital management activities; (6) the timely development of competitive new products and services by Bancorp and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; (7) the willingness of customers to accept third party products marketed by Bancorp; (8) the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for Bancorp’s products and services and vice versa; (9) the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking and securities); (10) technological changes; (11) changes in consumer spending and saving habits; (12) the effect of corporate restructurings, acquisitions and/or dispositions, and the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such corporate restructurings, acquisitions and/or dispositions; (13) the current stresses in the financial and real estate markets, including possible continued deterioration in property values; (14) unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; (15) the impact of changes in accounting policies by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); (16) adverse changes in financial performance and/or condition of Bancorp’s borrowers which could impact repayment of such borrowers’ outstanding loans; and (17) Bancorp’s success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing. Bancorp cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. See also those risk factors identified in the section headed “Risk Factors”, beginning on page 14 of Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended

Introduction
Bancorp is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of North Carolina (“NC”) and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). Bancorp’s principal asset is the stock of its banking subsidiary, the Bank.
Bancorp is the successor entity to LSB Bancshares, Inc., which was incorporated on December 8, 1982 (“LSB”). On July 31, 2007, FNB Financial Services Corporation (“FNB”), a bank holding company, also incorporated in NC and registered under the BHCA, merged with and into LSB in a merger of equals (the “Merger”). LSB’s name was then changed to “NewBridge Bancorp”.
The Bank, a NC chartered non-member bank, is the successor entity to Lexington State Bank (“LSB Bank”), which was incorporated on July 5, 1949. As a result of the Merger, Bancorp acquired FNB Southeast, a NC chartered member bank, the sole banking subsidiary of FNB. On November 12, 2007, FNB Southeast merged with and into LSB Bank and the surviving bank changed its name to “NewBridge Bank”.
The Company’s results of operations are dependent primarily on the results of operations of the Bank and thus are dependent to a significant extent on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on the Bank’s loan and investment portfolios and cost of funds, consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by the Company’s provision for credit losses, mortgage loan sales activities, service charges and other fee income, and noninterest expense. The Company’s noninterest expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, professional fees, and advertising and business promotion expenses. The Company’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
Commercial banking in North Carolina and Virginia (“VA”) is extremely competitive, due in large part to intrastate and interstate branching laws. Currently, many of the Company’s competitors are significantly larger and have greater resources. The Company encounters competition from a number of sources, including bank holding companies, financial holding companies, commercial banks, thrift institutions, credit unions and other financial institutions and financial intermediaries. The Company competes in its market areas with some of the largest banking organizations in the Southeast and nationally, several of which have numerous branches in NC and VA. The Company’s competition is not limited to financial institutions based in NC and VA. The enactment of federal legislation authorizing nationwide interstate banking has greatly increased the size and financial resources of some of the Company’s competitors. Consequently, many of its competitors have substantially higher lending limits due to their greater total capitalization, and some may perform functions for their customers that the Company generally does not offer. The Company primarily relies on providing quality products and services at a competitive price within its market areas. As a result of interstate banking legislation, the Company’s market is open to future penetration by banks located in other states, provided that the other states also permit de novo branching and acquisitions by NC and VA banking institutions, thereby increasing competition.
The following discussion and analysis is presented on a consolidated basis and focuses on the major components of the Company’s operations and significant changes in its results of operations for the periods presented. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiary comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to standards within the banking industry. The preparation of the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. The following is a summary of the policy regarding the allowance for credit losses, one of the most complex and subjective accounting policies of the Company.
The allowance for credit losses, which is utilized to absorb actual losses in the loan portfolio, is maintained at a level consistent with management’s best estimate of probable credit losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. The Company’s allowance for credit losses is analyzed monthly by management. This analysis includes a methodology that separates the total loan portfolio into loans deemed impaired and homogeneous loan classifications for purposes of evaluating risk, as well as analysis of certain individually identified loans. The required allowance is calculated by applying a risk adjusted reserve requirement to the dollar volume of loans within a homogenous group. Major loan portfolio subgroups include: risk graded commercial loans, mortgage loans, home equity loans, retail loans and retail credit lines. Management also analyzes the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis to evaluate current risk levels, and risk grades are adjusted accordingly. While management uses the best information to make evaluations, future adjustments may be needed if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used.

Net Interest Income
The primary source of earnings for the Bank is net interest income, which represents the dollar amount by which interest generated from earning assets exceeds the cost of funds. Earning assets consist primarily of loans and investment securities and cost of funds is the interest paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds.
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2009, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $14.4 million, a decrease of $2.5 million or 15.2%, from $16.9 million for the second quarter of 2008. This was primarily due to a decline in net interest margin. The taxable-equivalent net interest margin for the second quarter of 2009 decreased to 2.91%, compared to 3.52% for the same period of 2008, a decline of 61 basis points. The decline in net interest margin is due, in part, to irrational deposit pricing that occurred in the Bank’s markets last fall, as a number of financial institutions entered a period of liquidity crisis. The average yield on earning assets during the second quarter of 2009 was 117 basis points lower than the average yield on earning assets during the comparable period in 2008, while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 61 basis points during the same time period, which resulted in a decrease in the interest rate spread in the second quarter of 2009 of 56 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2008. During the last two quarters of 2009, approximately $652 million of time deposits will mature and reprice from a current weighted average interest rate of 3.45%.
Average earning assets in the second quarter of 2009 increased $48.0 million, or 2.5%, to $1.98 billion, compared to $1.93 billion in the second quarter of 2008. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2009 increased $24.5 million, or 1.4%, to $1.75 billion, compared to $1.73 billion for the second quarter of 2008. The following table provides an analysis of average volumes, yields and rates and net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the first six months of 2009, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $28.8 million, a decrease of $5.8 million or 16.6%, from $34.6 million for the first six months of 2008. This was primarily due a decline in net interest margin. The taxable-equivalent net interest margin for the first six months of 2009 decreased to 2.94%, compared to 3.65% for the same period in 2008, a decline of 71 basis points. In the first six months of 2009, the average yield on earning assets decreased by 141 basis points from the first six months of 2008, while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 74 basis points during the same time period. This resulted in a decrease in the interest rate spread in the first six months of 2009 of 67 basis points compared to the same period of 2008.
Average earning assets in the first six months of 2009 increased $69.8 million, or 3.7%, to $1.98 billion, compared to $1.91 billion in the first six months of 2008. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the first six months of 2009 increased $48.9 million, or 2.9%, to $1.76 billion, compared to $1.71 billion for the first six months of 2008.

FDIC insurance premiums increased to $2.9 million in the first six months of 2009 from $118,000 in the comparable period of 2008, as a result of a special one-time assessment of $970,000 and an increase in risk-based assessment rates, as well as the expiration of a one-time credit issued by the FDIC. Personnel expense decreased to $15.3 million in the first six months of 2009 from $18.2 million in the first six months of 2008 as a result of a reduction in the number of employees.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit losses
The Company’s allowance for credit losses is analyzed monthly by management. This analysis includes a methodology that segments the loan portfolio into loans deemed impaired and homogeneous loan classifications and considers the current status of the portfolio, historical charge-off experience, current levels of delinquent, impaired and non-performing loans and their underlying collateral values, as well as economic and other risk factors. It is also subject to regulatory examinations and determinations as to adequacy, which may take into account such factors as the methodology employed
22
and other analytical measures in comparison to a group of peer banks. Management believes the allowance for credit losses is sufficient to absorb known risk in the portfolio. The Company, like many financial institutions, has recently and will likely continue to face a challenging credit environment in the coming months, as a result of the overall economic slowdown in the region and the nation. The majority of the Bank’s loan portfolio is comprised of loans secured by real estate, and is therefore subject to risk as a result of the weakened real estate market. No assurances can be given that future economic conditions will not adversely affect borrowers and result in increases in credit losses and non-performing asset levels.
At June 30, 2009, the allowance for credit losses was $44.1 million or 2.89% of loans outstanding compared to $35.8 million or 2.23% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2008, and $31.3 million or 1.99% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2009, the allowance for credit losses was 0.69 times nonperforming loans compared to 0.91 times at December 31, 2008 and 1.22 times at June 30, 2008. Based on analysis of the current loan portfolio and levels of current problem assets and potential problem loans, management believes the allowance for credit losses to be adequate. Additional information regarding the allowance for credit losses is presented in the table headed “Asset Quality Analysis”, on the following page.
The provision for credit losses charged to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $19.4 million, compared to $6.0 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $11.1 million, or 1.42% of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of $5.1 million, or 0.65% of average loans outstanding on an annualized basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increases from 2008 were primarily the result of the weakness in the regional and national economy. In North Carolina, unemployment rates have doubled in the last 12 months, rising from approximately 5% to more than 10%. In certain counties in the Bank’s geographic market area, unemployment rates have risen to as high as 14%.
Nonperforming loans totaled $64.0 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $39.6 million at year end 2008 and $25.7 million at June 30, 2008. The increase from the 2008 year end and from the prior year is primarily driven by increases in non-accrual loans and, to a lesser extent, restructured loans. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“OREO”) was $16.0 million at June 30, 2009, $9.1 million at December 31, 2008, and $6.2 million at June 30, 2008. Restructured loans totaled $4.1 million at June 30, 2009, $250,000 at December 31, 2008, and $267,000 at June 30, 2008. Approximately $10.3 million was transferred from loans into OREO and approximately $4.4 million of such assets were disposed of during the first six months of 2009. A net loss of $234,000 has been recorded on disposition of OREO in the current year, compared to a net loss of $302,000 in the first six months of 2008. The Company recorded $45,000 of writedowns of OREO during the first six months of 2009, compared to no writedowns in the first six months of 2008. Total non-performing assets (comprised of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and OREO) increased to $80.1 million, or 3.88% of total assets, at June 30, 2009, from $48.6 million, or 2.34% of total assets, at December 31, 2008 and $31.9 million, or 1.55% of total assets, a year ago.
During the second quarter of 2005, Prince George Court Holdings, Inc, a subsidiary of the Bank, acquired a partially completed residential condominium development project in Georgetown, South Carolina by means of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in satisfaction of a $3.4 million loan previously made to develop the project. Writedowns were recorded for $400,000 in 2005 and $1.0 million in 2006. In the first quarter of 2007, the Bank began to build out the project in preparation for future sale. In the fourth quarter of 2007, management decided to immediately make the property available for sale, while at the same time continuing to build out the project, and recorded an additional $2.0 million writedown. A further writedown of $1.3 million was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2008. As of June 30, 2009, the construction project is complete, two units have been sold and marketing of the remaining 14 units continues. The property has a carrying value of approximately $4.0 million as of June 30, 2009.

Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $7.4 million for the first six months of 2009, compared to an income tax expense totaling $1.5 million for the first six months of 2008. The Company’s effective tax rate was 43.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009, compared to 31.4% for the first six months of 2008. The change to a benefit for the first six months of 2009 from an expense for the comparable period in 2008, and the change in the effective rate, are both primarily the result of the change from a pre-tax profit in the first six months of 2008 to a pre-tax loss in the comparable period in 2009.
Risk Management
It is the design of risk management to ensure long-range profitable performance, minimize risk, insure adequate liquidity and maintain sound capital. To meet these objectives, asset/liability management monitors the exposure to interest rate risk, balance sheet trends, pricing policies and liquidity position. Reports regarding credit, asset/liability, market and operational risks are regularly provided to the Bank’s Board of Directors.
Risk management practices include key elements such as independent checks and balances, formal authority limits, policies and procedures and portfolio management performed by experienced personnel.
24
Interest Rate Risk Management
Interest rate risk management is a part of the Bank’s overall asset/liability management process. The primary oversight of asset/liability management rests with the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee, which is comprised of senior management. The Committee meets on a regular basis to review the asset/liability management activities of the Bank and monitor compliance with established policies. Activities of the Asset and Liability Committee are reported to the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
A primary objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to ensure the stability and quality of the Company’s primary earnings component, net interest income. This process involves monitoring the Company’s balance sheet in order to determine the potential impact that changes in the interest rate environment may have on net interest income. Rate sensitive assets and liabilities have interest rates that are subject to change within a specific time period, due to either maturity or to contractual agreements which allow the instruments to reprice prior to maturity. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to ensure that both assets and liabilities react to changes in interest rates within a similar time period, thereby minimizing the risk to net interest income.
The Bank utilizes a computer-based interest rate risk simulation model. This comprehensive model includes rate sensitivity gap analysis, rate shock net interest income analysis, and present value of equity analysis, under various rate shock scenarios. The Bank uses this model to monitor interest rate risk on a quarterly basis and to detect trends that may affect the overall net interest income for the Bank. This simulation incorporates the dynamics of balance sheet and interest rate changes and calculates the related effect on net interest income. As a result, this analysis more accurately projects the risk to net interest income over the upcoming twelve-month period, compared to the traditional gap analysis. In addition, during the second quarter of 2009, the Bank began using the services of a third party consulting firm to assist with the Bank’s asset/liability management. The Bank’s asset/liability policy provides guidance for levels of interest rate risk and potential remediations, if necessary, to mitigate excessive levels of risk. The modeling results indicate the Bank is subject to an acceptable level of interest rate risk within the given rate shock parameters. The Bank is liability sensitive over the near term, based on the results of its simulation model, which means that rising interest rates could result in a reduced amount of net interest income. The Bank is not subject to other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity or equity price risk.
Liquidity Management
Liquidity management refers to the policies and practices that ensure the Bank has the ability to meet day-to-day cash flow requirements based primarily on activity in loan and deposit accounts of the Bank’s customers. Deposit withdrawals, loan funding and general corporate activity create the primary needs for liquidity for the Bank. Liquidity is derived from sources such as deposit growth; maturity, calls or sales of investment securities; principal and interest payments on loans; access to borrowed funds or lines of credit; and profits.
During the first six months of 2009, the Company had net cash provided by operating activities of $9.6 million, compared to $14.8 million of net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2008. The decrease in cash flows resulting from the change in net income for the first six months of 2008 compared to net loss in the first six months of 2009 was mostly offset by a substantial increase in loan loss provision from 2008 to 2009. The pre-tax loss in 2009 created a substantial increase in income taxes receivable.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the first six months of 2009 was $49.6 million, compared to net cash used for investing activities in the first six months of 2008 of $22.5 million. During 2009, cash was provided by a decrease in loans made to customers of $56.1 million, partially offset by an increase in investment securities. During the first six months of 2008, $95.5 million of cash was used
25
to fund net increases in loans to customers. This was mostly offset by cash provided by a reduction in investment securities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, financing activities used $6.2 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $7.4 million during the same period of 2008. The difference was primarily the result of an increase in deposits during the first six months of 2008, partially offset by a decrease in other borrowings and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”).
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $98.8 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $45.8 million at December 31, 2008 and $58.4 million at June 30, 2008.
The Bank also has unsecured overnight borrowing lines totaling $20.0 million available through correspondent bank relationships. These lines are used to manage the day-to-day, short-term liquidity needs of the Bank. Each overnight line has a requirement to repay the line in full on a frequent basis, typically within five to ten business days. The Bank also has established wholesale repurchase agreements with regional brokerage firms. The Bank can access this additional source of liquidity by pledging investment securities with the brokerage firms.
In addition to the above sources of liquidity, the Bank has borrowing capacity of approximately $270.0 million with the Federal Home Loan Bank. These borrowings are collateralized by FHLB stock, investment securities, qualifying 1 to 4 family residential mortgage loans, and qualifying commercial real estate loans. The Bank provides various reports to the FHLB on a regular basis to maintain the availability of the credit line. Each borrowing request to the FHLB is initiated through an advance application that is subject to approval by the FHLB before funds are advanced under the line of credit. The Bank also has $39.3 million of borrowing capacity through the Federal Reserve Bank System. The line with the Federal Reserve Bank is collateralized using investment securities and qualified loans.
Capital Resources and Shareholders’ Equity
Pursuant to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”), on December 12, 2008, Bancorp issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury (i) 52,372 shares of Bancorp’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2,567,255 shares of Bancorp’s common stock, par value $5.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $52,372,000 in cash. The Securities Purchase Agreement, dated December 12, 2008, pursuant to which the securities issued to the U.S. Treasury under the CPP were sold, restricts Bancorp, without the prior approval of the U.S. Treasury, from increasing dividends payable on its common stock from the last quarterly cash dividend per share ($0.05) declared on the common stock prior to October 14, 2008, limits Bancorp’s ability to repurchase shares of its common stock (with certain exceptions, including the repurchase of its common stock to offset share dilution from equity-based compensation awards), grants the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant and the common stock of Bancorp to be issued under the Warrant, certain registration rights, and subjects Bancorp to certain of the executive compensation limitations included in the EESA, the ARRA and related regulations.
Bancorp’s stock repurchase program was originally announced in November 1998. It was subsequently amended and extended in August 1999, May 2004, May 2006 and October 2007. The program expired on May 31, 2009. The stock repurchase program provided that Bancorp might repurchase its common stock in the open market or privately negotiated transactions on a time-to-time and ongoing basis, depending upon market conditions and subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding the stock repurchase program, Bancorp’s participation in the CPP limits Bancorp’s ability to repurchase its common stock, except with the prior approval of the U.S. Treasury.
26
Bancorp did not repurchase any shares under the stock repurchase program during the first six months of 2009.
Banks and bank holding companies, as regulated institutions, must meet required levels of capital. The Commissioner of Banks in North Carolina, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, which are the primary banking regulatory agencies for the Bank and the Company, have adopted minimum capital regulations or guidelines that categorize components and the level of risk associated with various types of assets. Financial institutions are required to maintain a level of capital commensurate with the risk profile assigned to their assets in accordance with the guidelines.
As shown in the accompanying table, the Company and the Bank have capital levels exceeding the minimum levels for “well capitalized” banks and bank holding companies as of June 30, 2009.

Leverage Capital | | | 5.0 | | | | 4.0 | | | | 8.83 | | | | 8.28 | |
The Company holds $10.0 million of the $52.4 million received from the U.S. Treasury under the CPP, which may be invested in the Bank to increase the Bank’s total risk based capital ratio from the present level of 11.55%.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the possible chance of loss from unfavorable changes in market prices and rates. These changes may result in a reduction of current and future period net interest income, which is the favorable spread earned from the excess of interest income on interest-earning assets, over interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.
The Company considers interest rate risk to be its most significant market risk, which could potentially have the greatest impact on operating earnings. The Company is liability sensitive over the near term, which means that rising interest rates could result in a reduced amount of net interest income. The monitoring of interest rate risk is part of the Company’s overall asset/liability management process. The primary oversight of asset/liability management rests with the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee. The Committee meets on a regular basis to review asset/liability activities and to monitor compliance with established policies. Activities of the Asset and Liability Committee are reported to the Audit Committee of the Bank’s Board of Directors.
The Company has not experienced any material changes in interest rate risk since the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
27
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of June 30, 2009. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO, CFO and CAO each concluded that as of June 30, 2009, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company maintained effective disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
