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, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
NewBridge Bancorp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of North Carolina and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company’s principal asset is stock of its banking subsidiary, NewBridge Bank (the “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 noninterest-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.
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 the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 25, 2013 (SEC File No. 000-11448) (the “Annual Report”). This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
The balances of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, at June 30, 2013 are $3,674,000 of unrealized gains on available for sale securities and $(6,633,000) for funded status of pension plans. At December 31, 2012, the balances of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, were $8,898,000 of unrealized gains on available for sale securities and $(6,614,000) for funded status of pension plans.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2013,the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This Update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and requires the entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This Update does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. For public companies, this Update became effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted the new disclosure requirements in the first quarter.The items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income are the realized gain on sale of investment securities, which is presented on a separate line in the Consolidated Statements of Income, and the amortization of post retirement benefit, both of which were considered insignificant.
Reclassification
Certain items for 2012 have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income, total assets 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 or warrants were exercised, or restricted stock vested, resulting in the issuance of common stock sharing in the net income of the Company. A summary of basic and diluted net income per share follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in cost.
There were 41 securities in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2013. Management does not intend to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale which have unrealized losses and believes that it is not likely that we will have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses are due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased and are not the result of deteriorated credit quality. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe such securities are other-than-temporarily impaired due to reasons of credit quality.
Investment securities with an amortized cost of $110,609,000 and $94,612,000, as of June 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes. The Bank has $50,000,000 in letters of credit, which are used in lieu of securities to pledge against public deposits.
Investment securities with a book value of $24,994,000 were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The Company recognized a gain of $278,000 on the sale of those securities. No investment securities were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 there were $6.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). A modification of a loan’s terms constitutes a TDR if the creditor grants a concession to the borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider. The Company monitors the performance of modified loans on an ongoing basis. For loans classified as TDRs, the Company further evaluates the loans as performing or nonperforming. Loans retain their accrual status at the time of their modification. As a result, if a loan is on nonaccrual at the time it is modified, it stays as nonaccrual, and if a loan is on accrual at the time of the modification, it generally stays on accrual. A modified loan will be reclassified to nonaccrual if the loan becomes 90 days delinquent or other weaknesses are observed which make collection of principal and interest unlikely. Nonperforming TDRs originally classified as nonaccrual are able to be reclassified as accruing if, subsequent to restructure, they experience six consecutive months of payment performance according to the restructured terms. Further, a TDR may be considered performing and subsequently removed from nonperforming status in years subsequent to the restructuring if it meets the following criteria:
| · | At the time of restructure, the loan was made at a market rate of interest for comparable risk; and |
| · | The loan has shown at least six consecutive months of payment performance in accordance with the restructured terms; and |
| · | The loan has been included in the TDR disclosures for at least one Annual Report on Form 10-K |
Modifications of terms for loans and their inclusion as TDRs are based on individual facts and circumstances. Loan modifications that are included as TDRs may involve an increase or reduction of the interest rate, extension of the term of the loan, or deferral or forgiveness of principal payments, which the Company considers are concessions. All loans designated as TDRs were modified due to financial difficulties experienced by the borrower. The Company has $2,075,000 of performing TDRs at June 30, 2013 which were restructured in a previous year without an interest rate concession and are performing in accordance with their modified terms.
The following tables provide information about TDRs identified during the current and prior year three-month and six-month periods (in thousands, except number of contracts):

The modifications in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 and the modifications in the second quarter and first six months of 2012 each involved an extension of the term of the loan.
A TDR is considered to be in default if it is 90 days or more past due at the end of any month during the reporting period.
There were no TDRs restructured in the previous 12 months that subsequently defaulted during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. The following table provides information about TDRs restructured in the previous 12 months that subsequently defaulted during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 (in thousands, except number of contracts):

Interest is not typically accrued on nonperforming loans, as they are normally in nonaccrual status. However, interest may be accrued in certain circumstances on nonperforming TDRs, such as those that have an interest rate concession but are otherwise performing. Interest income on performing or nonperforming accruing TDRs is recognized consistent with any other accruing loan. Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when (i) management has concerns relating to the ability to collect the loan principal and interest, and (ii) generally when such loans are 90 days or more past due. Interest income is subsequently recognized on the cash basis only to the extent payments are received and only if the loan is well secured. Commercial loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured of repayment within an acceptable period of time and there is a sustained period of repayment performance (generally a minimum of six months) of interest and principal by the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms. Residential mortgage and consumer loans are typically returned to accrual status once they are no longer past due. There were $2.6 million in TDRs at June 30, 2013 and $5.2 million in TDRs at June 30, 2012 that were considered nonperforming and were accruing. The following tables show interest income recognized and received on these TDRs for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

The Bank’s policy for impaired loan accounting subjects all loans to impairment recognition except for large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans such as credit card, residential mortgage and consumer loans. The Bank generally considers loans 90 days or more past due, all nonaccrual loans and all TDRs to be impaired.
Loans specifically identified and evaluated for impairment totaled $10.6 million and $16.4 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, as displayed in the following tables (in thousands).

Loans totaling $498,938,000 and $502,563,000, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, were pledged to secure lines of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank.
Note 5 — Deferred Tax Assets
During the third quarter of 2012, the Company recorded material writedowns and losses on the disposition or resolution of problem assets, which resulted in a material pretax net loss for the quarter. As a consequence, the Company continues to be in a cumulative pretax loss position for the three-year period ended June 30, 2013, which constitutes significant negative evidence in the context of evaluating deferred tax assets for realizability as prescribed by ASC Topic 740.
ASC Topic 740 requires that the realizability of the deferred tax asset and evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance consider all positive and negative evidence to form a conclusion as to whether the realization of the deferred tax asset is more likely than not. The Company must also assign weight to the various forms of evidence, based upon the ability to verify the evidence.
Management has evaluated the realizability of the recorded deferred tax assets at June 30, 2013. This evaluation included a review of all available evidence, including recent historical financial performance and expected near-term levels of net interest margin, nonperforming assets, operating expenses, earnings and other factors. It further included the consideration of the items that have given rise to the deferred tax assets, as well as tax planning strategies. At the time the deferred tax asset was impaired, the Company believed the three-year cumulative loss position was due to an unusual, self-imposed, acceleration of loss recognition to dispose of problem assets in a liquidation market. However, at that time, there was insufficient verifiable evidence to substantiate that belief. Now, after having completed three consecutive quarters of meaningful profitability, coupled with continuing improvement in asset quality, the Company can place high importance and significance to this verifiable positive evidence. As a result, management has concluded that only the portion of the deferred tax asset associated with certain state net economic loss and contribution carryforwards needs to be impaired. Therefore, in the second quarter 2013, the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset was reduced by $8,371,000 to $1,027,000. Management also concluded that the utilization of the remaining deferred tax assets is more likely than not.
The significant components of deferred tax assets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Deferred tax assets: | | | | | | | | |

Note 6 — Stock Compensation Plans
The Company recorded $154,000 and $19,000 of total stock-based compensation expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The prior year period reduced expense is due to a change in expectation related to vesting of outstanding performance based awards. The stock-based compensation expense is calculated on a ratable basis over the vesting periods of the related stock options or restricted stock grants and is reported within personnel expense. This expense had no impact on the Company’s reported cash flows.As of June 30, 2013, there was $873,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense. This expense will be fully recognized by December of 2015.
For purposes of determining estimated fair value of stock options and restricted stock grants, 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, 2012, has applied the assumptions set forth in the Annual Report. During the first six months of 2013, no stock options were granted to employees or directors.
On January 16, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors awarded a total of 126,142 restricted stock units to certain executive officers. The fair value of these restricted stock units is $5.00 per unit, which was the closing price of the common stock on the grant date. On March 6, 2013, an additional 2,390 restricted stock units were awarded. The fair value of these restricted stock units is $5.91 per unit, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Another 1,460 restricted stock units were awarded onApril 24, 2013. The fair value of these restricted stock units is $5.99 per unit, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on that date. The restricted stock units vest over a period of three years with half subject to meeting certain performance criteria.
On April 18, 2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) held an auction to sell all of its investment in the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which was previously issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury in 2008 under the Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”). The preferred shares were sold at a price of $980.50 per share, or 98.05% of the $1,000.00 per share liquidation value. The sale was settled on April, 29, 2013. Under the terms of the CPP,restricted stock units granted by the Company to certain employees may not fully vest until all of the U.S. Treasury’s investment in the Series A Preferred Stock has been repaid. Accordingly, because the U.S. Treasury sold the Series A Preferred Stock at a small discount to the $1,000.00 per share liquidation value, a portion of restricted stock units granted by the Company will never fully vest.As a result, following the sale by the U.S. Treasury, 48,125 restricted stock units were forfeited and canceled, 34,438 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to vested restricted stock units, and $78,000 was paid by the Company in lieu of issuing 13,222 shares to cover personal income tax. The Company recorded an expense reversal of $71,000 for the forfeited and canceled restricted stock units.
Note 7— Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value for each class of the Company’s financial instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents.The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks approximate fair value because of the short maturities of those instruments.
Investment securities. The fair value of investment securities is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities, corresponding to the “significant other observable inputs” definition of GAAP. If a quoted market price for a similar security is not available, fair value is estimated using “significant unobservable inputs” as defined by GAAP. The fair value of equity investments in the restricted stock of the FHLB equals the carrying value based on the redemption provisions.
Loans. The fair value of fixed rate 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. Substantially all residential mortgage loans held for sale are pre-sold, and their carrying value approximates fair value. The fair value of variable rate loans with frequent repricing and negligible credit risk approximates book value.
Deposits. The fair value of noninterest-bearing demand deposits and NOW, savings, and money market deposits are the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Wholesale repurchase agreements, junior subordinated notes and FHLB borrowings.The fair values of these liabilities are estimated using the discounted values of the contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently in effect for similar borrowings.
Impaired loans. The fair value of impaired loans is based on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral, less selling and other handling costs, for certain collateral dependent loans less specific reserves.
The table below presents the estimated fair values of financial instruments as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
| | | | | Estimated Fair Value | |

The fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market and other information about the financial instruments. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and such other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Note 8—Capital Transactions
At the Special Meeting of Shareholders on February 20, 2013, shareholders approved the conversion of up to 422,456 shares of Series B preferred stock and up to 140,217 shares of Series C preferred stock into Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively, at a conversion rate of $4.40 per share. Articles of Amendment filed with the North Carolina Secretary of State on February 21, 2013, created a new class of nonvoting common stock designated “Class B Common Stock,” and redesignated the Company’s existing common stock as “Class A Common Stock.” The Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock each have no par value per share. As a result, on February 22, 2013, the Series B preferred stock was converted into 9,601,262 shares of voting Class A Common Stock, and the Series C preferred stock was converted into 3,186,748 shares of nonvoting Class B Common Stock.
Pursuant to the CPP, on December 12, 2008, the Company issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury (i) 52,372 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2,567,255 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.06 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $52,372,000 in cash. The fair 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 bears cumulative dividends of five percent for the first five years and nine percent thereafter. On April 18, 2013, the U.S. Treasury held an auction to sell all of its investment in the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The sale was settled on April, 29, 2013. As a consequence, the Company is no longer subject to many of the rules and regulations that were established in connection with the CPP. On May 15, 2013, the Company completed its repurchase of the Warrant for its fair market value of $7,779,000. Following the Company’s repurchase of the Warrant, the U.S. Treasury has no equity or other ownership interest in the Company. On June 3, 2013, the Company redeemed 37,372 of the Company’s 52,372 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the liquidation price of $1,000 per share for a total of $37,372,000 plus $93,430 of accrued and unpaid dividends.
Note 9—Agreement to Acquire Security Savings Bank
On June 13, 2013, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Security Savings Bank, a mutual savings bank with approximately $224 million in assets, headquartered in Southport, North Carolina.This acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approval, will expand the Bank’s coastal North Carolina presence withsix branches and one loan production officein Brunswick County.

Introduction
The Company is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of North Carolina and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company’s principal asset is the stock of its banking subsidiary, the 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 is extremely competitive, due in large part to intrastate and interstate branching laws. Many of the Company’s competitors are significantly larger and have greater resources. The Company continues to encounter significant 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, almost all of which have numerous branches in NC. The Company’s competition is not limited to financial institutions based in NC. The enactment of federal legislation authorizing nationwide interstate banking has greatly increased the size and financial resources of some of the Company’s competitors. Many of its competitors have substantially higher lending limits due to their greater total capitalization, and many 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.
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.A summary of the allowance for credit losses, the most complex and subjective accounting policy of the Company, is discussed under the heading “Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses” as well as in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Income taxes and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets are discussed in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the second quarter of 2013, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $15.5 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 5.6%, from $16.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. Average earning assets in the second quarter of 2013 decreased $19.3 million, or 1.2%, to $1.57 billion, compared to $1.59 billion in the second quarter of 2012. Average interest-bearing liabilities in the second quarter of 2013 decreased $77.7 million, or 5.7%, to $1.28 billion, compared to $1.35 billion in the second quarter of 2012. Taxable-equivalent net interest margin decreased to 3.97% for the second quarter of 2013, compared to 4.16% for the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of 19 basis points. The interest rate spread decreased to 3.89% in the second quarter of 2013, compared to 4.07% in the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of 18 basis points.
The decrease in net interest margin and interest rate spread was driven primarily by a lower yield on taxable investment securities and a lower yield on the loan portfolio, partially offset by a lower cost of funds rate.The average yield on earning assets during the second quarter of 2013 decreased 37 basis points to 4.30% from 4.67% during the comparable period in 2012, while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 18 basis points to 0.41% from 0.59%. 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, 2013 and 2012.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the first half of 2013, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $30.7 million, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 6.2%, from $32.7 million for the first half of 2012. Average earning assets in the first half of 2013 decreased $13.9 million, or 0.9%, to $1.57 billion, compared to $1.58 billion in the first half of 2012. Average interest-bearing liabilities in the first half of 2013 decreased $83.5 million, or 6.1%, to $1.28 billion, compared to $1.36 billion in the first half of 2012. Taxable equivalent net interest margin decreased to 3.94% for the first half of 2013, compared to 4.15% for the first half of 2012, a decrease of 21 basis points. The interest rate spread decreased to 3.86% in the first half of 2013, compared to 4.06% in the first half of 2012, a decrease of 20 basis points.
The decrease in net interest margin and interest rate spread was driven primarily by a lower yield on taxable investment securities and a lower yield on the loan portfolio, partially offset by a lower cost of funds rate.The average yield on earning assets during the first half of 2013 decreased 43 basis points to 4.28% from 4.71%during the comparable period in 2012, while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 22 basis points to 0.42% from 0.64%. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the annualized average yieldon loans decreased to 4.66% from 5.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The net interest margin is also impacted by changes in interest income from nonaccrual loans. For the six months ended June 30,2013, nonaccrual interest decreased the net interest margin by five basis points compared to nine basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The following table provides an analysis of average volumes, yields and rates and net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company’s allowance for credit losses, which is utilized to absorb actual losses in the loan portfolio, is analyzed monthly by management. This analysis includes a methodology that segments the loan portfolio into risk graded loans and homogeneous loan classifications and considers the current status of the portfolio, historical chargeoff experience, current levels of delinquent, impaired and nonperforming 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 and other analytical measures in comparison to a group of peer banks. The Bank, like many financial institutions, has recently faced a challenging credit environment and could continue to face similar challenges in the coming months unless there is a significant improvement in regional and national economic conditions. 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 weak 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 nonperforming asset levels.
The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level consistent with management’s best estimate of probable credit losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. Major loan portfolio subgroups include: risk graded commercial loans, mortgage loans, home equity loans, retail loans and retail credit lines. Management analyzes loans in the portfolio on an ongoing basis to evaluate current risk levels, and risk grades are adjusted accordingly. The process of determining the allowance for credit losses is driven by the risk grade system and the loss experience on non risk graded homogeneous types of loans. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments may be needed if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used.
At June 30, 2013, the allowance for credit losses was $26.4 million, or 2.20% of loans held for investment, compared to $26.6 million, or 2.30% of loans held for investment, at December 31, 2012, and $25.2 million, or 2.17% of loans held for investment, at June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2013, the allowance for credit losses was 190.83% of nonperforming loans, 124.67% at December 31, 2012 and 72.75% at June 30, 2012. Based on analysis of the current loan portfolio and levels of problem assets and potential problem loans, management believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate. Additional information regarding the allowance for credit losses is presented in the table headed “Asset Quality Analysis” on page 37.
Nonperforming loans totaled $13.8 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $21.4 million at December 31, 2012 and $34.7 million at June 30, 2012. OREO was $4.5 million at June 30, 2013, $5.4 million at December 31, 2012, and $24.5 million at June 30, 2012. The decreases fromthe prior year second quarter reflect the successful completion of the Company’s asset disposition plan in 2012, which resulted in a $106 million reduction in adversely classified assets.Approximately $2.9 million was transferred from loans into OREO, and approximately $3.6 million of OREO was disposed of during the first six months of 2013. A net gain of $736,000 has been recorded on the disposition and writedowns of OREO in the current year, through June 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million in the first half of 2012. The Company recorded $299,000 of expenses on OREO during the first six months of 2013, compared to $523,000 in the first half of 2012. Nonperforming assets (comprised of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and OREO) totaled $18.3 million, or 1.06% of total assets, at June 30, 2013, compared to $26.7 million, or 1.56% of total assets, at December 31, 2012 and $59.2 million, or 3.38% of total assets, a year ago.

The Bank is well within the regulatory commercial real estate high concentration guidelines in land acquisition, development and construction (the “AD&C portfolio”) loans, as well as total commercial real estate loans. At June 30, 2013, the Bank’s concentration levels were 40.91% and 158.52%, respectively, of total regulatory capital, which compares favorably to the interagency regulatory guidance maximum concentrations of 100% and 300%, respectively. The Bank’s AD&C portfolio totaled $72.6 million at June 30, 2013, including $21.9 million of speculative residential construction and residential acquisition and development. This portfolio is largely graded as classified loans.
The provision for credit losses charged to operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $1.0 million, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Net chargeoffs for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $0.7 million, or 0.24% of average loans held for investment on an annualized basis, compared to net chargeoffs of $5.0 million, or 1.73% of average loans held for investment on an annualized basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
The provision for credit losses charged to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $2.0 million, compared to $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net chargeoffs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $2.3 million, or 0.39% of average loans held for investment on an annualized basis, compared to net chargeoffs of $9.4 million, or 1.60% of average loans held for investment on an annualized basis, for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Liquidity Management
Liquidity management refers to the policies and practices that ensure the Company 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 2013, the Company had net cash provided by operating activities of $12.1 million, compared to $14.8 million in the first six months of 2012. Proceeds from sales of loans held for sale in excess of originations of loans held for sale were $4.6 million during the first half of 2013, compared to $3.3 million in the first half of 2012. Net income increased $13.9 million in the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012, partially due to a deferred income tax benefit of $6.6 million for the first six months of 2013 compared to a deferred income tax expense of $0.9 million for the first six months of 2012. The provision for credit losses decreased $3.8 million for the first half of 2013 compared to the first half of 2012. For the first six months of 2013, there was a net gain of $736,000 related to OREO, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million for the first six months of 2012. In addition, there were gains on sales of investment securities of $278,000 during the first half of 2013, while no securities were sold during the first half of 2012.
Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2013 was $38.0 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of 2012 of $13.4 million. This change is primarily attributable to an increase in loans held for investment of $49.5 million, compared to a decrease of $22.1 million during the same period last year, partially offset by proceeds from sales, calls, maturities and prepayments of securities available for sale of $116.9 million during the first half of 2013, compared to $65.3 million during the same period last year. During the first six months of 2013, proceeds from the sale of OREO were $4.5 million, compared to $8.0 million during the same period last year.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities was $11.7 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $6.6 million during the same period of 2012. The change was primarily the result of an increase in demand, NOW, money market and savings deposits of $46.2 million during the first half of 2013, compared to an increase of $17.8 million in the same deposit products during the first half of 2012, partially offset by a decrease in time deposits of $13.2 million in the first six months of 2013, compared to an increase of $12.8 million in time deposits during the same period last year. During the first six months of 2013, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) increased $25.3 million, compared to a decrease of $22.7 million during the same period last year. During the first half of 2013, the Company had cash outflows of $37.5 million (including related expense of $100,000) for redemption of preferred stock and $7.8 million for repurchase of stock warrant, as discussed on page 40 under the heading “Capital Resources and Shareholder’s Equity.”
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $25.6 million at June 30, 2013, compared to $39.8 million at December 31, 2012 and $61.9 million at June 30, 2012.
The Bank has borrowing capacity of approximately $288.4 million with the FHLB, of which approximately $100.1 million was available at June 30, 2013 after deducting $50.0 million in letters of credit and $138.3 million in outstanding borrowings. These borrowings are collateralized by FHLB stock, investment securities, qualifying residential 1 to 4 family first mortgage loans, qualifying multifamily first mortgage loans, qualifying commercial real estate loans, and qualifying home equity lines of credit and second mortgage 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 $5.3 million of borrowing capacity through the Federal Reserve Bank System, of which none was used as of June 30, 2013. The line with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond is collateralized using qualified loans. In addition, the Bank has $25.0 million in unsecured, overnight federal funds lines with correspondent banks.
Interest Rate Risk Management
Interest rate risk management is a 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, which is comprised of the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and other senior executives. The Committee meets on a monthly 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 and Risk Management Committee of the Company and the Bank.
A primary objective of interest rate risk 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 Company uses several interest rate risk measurement tools provided by a national asset/liability management consultant to help manage this risk. The Company’s Asset/Liability policy provides guidance for acceptable levels of interest rate risk and potential remediations. Management provides the consultant with key assumptions, which are used as inputs into the measurement tools. The Company has not experienced any material changes in interest rate risk since the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
The following table summarizes the results of the Company’s income simulation model as of March 31, 2013, the most currently available review date.

Capital Resources and Shareholders’ Equity
At a Special Meeting of Shareholders on February 20, 2013, shareholders approved the conversion of up to 422,456 shares of Series B preferred stock and up to 140,217 shares of Series C preferred stock into Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively, at a conversion rate of $4.40 per share. Articles of Amendment filed with the North Carolina Secretary of State on February 21, 2013, created a new class of nonvoting common stock designated “Class B Common Stock,” and redesignated the Company’s existing common stock as “Class A Common Stock.” The Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock each have no par value per share. As a result, on February 22, 2013, the Series B preferred stock was converted into 9,601,262 shares of voting Class A Common Stock, and the Series C preferred stock was converted into 3,186,748 shares of nonvoting Class B Common Stock.
On April 18, 2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) held an auction to sell all of its investment in the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The sale was settled on April, 29, 2013. As a consequence, the Company is no longer subject to many of the rules and regulations that were established in connection with the Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”). Subsequent to the auction, 34,438 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to vested restricted stock units. On May 15, 2013, the Company completed its repurchase from the U.S. Treasury of a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2,567,255 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company repurchased the Warrant for its fair market value of $7,779,000. Following the Company’s repurchase of the Warrant, the U.S. Treasury has no equity or other ownership interest in the Company. On June 3, 2013, the Company redeemed 37,372 of the Company’s 52,372 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the liquidation price of $1,000 per share for a total of $37,372,000 plus $93,430 of accrued and unpaid dividends. The Company did not repurchase any of its equity securities during 2012.
Banks and bank holding companies, as regulated institutions, must meet required levels of capital. The North Carolina Commissioner of Banks, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 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, 2013.
| | Regulatory Capital | |
| | Well Capitalized | | | Adequately Capitalized | | | Company | | | Bank | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total Capital | | | 10.0 | % | | | 8.0 | % | | | 13.47 | % | | | 12.97 | % |

Leverage Capital | | | 5.0 | | | | 4.0 | | | | 10.01 | | | | 9.60 | |
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 future period net interest income or other comprehensive income.
The Company considers interest rate risk to be its most significant market risk, which is discussed under the heading “Interest Rate Risk Management” on page 40.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The Company’s management, including its CEO, 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, 2013. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO, CFO and CAO each concluded that as of June 30, 2013, 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 quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
