1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Organization and Nature of Operations

      Capital Bank Corporation (the "Company") is a financial holding company
      incorporated under the laws of North Carolina on August 10, 1998. The
      Company's primary function is to serve as the holding company for its
      wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capital Bank and Capital Bank Investment
      Services, Inc. In addition, the Company has interest in two trusts,
      Capital Bank Statutory Trust I and II (hereinafter collectively referred
      to as the "Trusts"). The Trusts are not consolidated with the financial
      statements of the Company per the provisions of FIN 46R. Capital Bank (the
      "Bank") was incorporated under the laws of North Carolina on May 30, 1997
      and commenced operations on June 20, 1997. The Bank is not a member of the
      Federal Reserve System and has no subsidiaries. The Bank is a community
      bank engaged in general commercial banking, providing a full range of
      banking services. The majority of the Bank's customers are individuals and
      small to medium-size businesses. The Bank's primary source of revenue is
      interest earned from loans to customers and from invested cash and
      securities and non-interest income derived from various fees.

      The Bank operates throughout North Carolina with branch facilities located
      in Raleigh (4), Sanford (3), Burlington (2), Asheville (3), Greensboro,
      Cary (2), Oxford, Hickory, Siler City, Graham, and Wake Forest. The
      Company's corporate headquarters are located on Glenwood Avenue in
      Raleigh, North Carolina.

      The Trusts were formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred
      securities. The proceeds from such issuances were loaned to the Company in
      exchange for the Debentures (as defined below), which are the sole assets
      of the Trust. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the
      Debentures were used by the Company to repurchase shares of Company common
      stock. The Company's obligation under the Debentures constitutes a full
      and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trust's obligations
      under the trust preferred securities. The Trusts have no operations other
      than those that are incidental to the issuance of the trust preferred
      securities. See Note 11 - Subordinated Debentures.

      The Company has no operations other than those of its subsidiaries.

      Consolidation

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
      and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
      and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

      Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
      management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
      amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
      liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
      reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The
      more significant estimates that are particularly susceptible to
      significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan
      losses, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of
      investments, and tax assets, liabilities and expense. Actual results could
      differ from those estimates.

      Cash and Cash Equivalents

      Cash and cash equivalents include demand and time deposits (with original
      maturities of 90 days or less) at other institutions, federal funds sold
      and other short term investments. Generally, federal funds are purchased
      and sold for one-day periods. At times, the Bank places deposits with high
      credit quality financial institutions in amounts which may be in excess of
      federally insured limits. Banks are required to maintain reserve and
      clearing balances with the Federal Reserve Bank (the "FRB"). Accordingly,
      the Bank has amounts restricted for this purpose of $11,696 included in
      "cash and due from banks" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December
      31, 2004.

Capital Bank Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Investments in certain securities are classified into three categories and
      accounted for as follows:

      1.    Securities Held to Maturity - Debt securities that the institution
            has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
            classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost; or

      2.    Trading Securities - Debt and equity securities that are bought and
            held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are
            classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with
            unrealized gains and losses included in earnings; or

      3.    Securities Available for Sale - Debt and equity securities not
            classified as either held to maturity securities or trading
            securities are classified as available for sale securities and
            reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as
            other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders'
            equity.

      The initial classification of securities is determined at the date of
      purchase. Gains and losses on sales of securities, computed based on
      specific identification of the adjusted cost of each security, are
      included in other income at the time of the sales.

      Premiums and discounts on debt securities are recognized in interest
      income using the level interest yield method over the period to maturity,
      or when the debt securities are called.

      Loans Held for Sale

      Mortgage loans held for sale are valued at the lower of cost or market as
      determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current investor
      yield requirements, calculated on the aggregate loan basis. At December
      31, 2004 and 2003, there were approximately $3.4 million and $4.8 million,
      respectively, in loans held for sale which are classified as loans on the
      balance sheet.

      Through the normal course of originating loans held for sale, the
      customer's interest rate is fixed upon lock-in by the customer. The Bank
      enters into a best efforts commitment to sell the loan to an investor
      after the rate lock-in by the customer. Rate lock commitments for loans
      held for sale are valued based on the value to be realized upon sale to an
      investor less any value attributable to the servicing rights which are
      also sold to the investor.

      Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

      Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an
      allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan origination fees and
      costs. Interest on loans is calculated by using the simple interest method
      on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding. Deferred loan fees
      and costs are amortized to interest income over the contractual life of
      the loan using the level interest yield method.

      A loan is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if
      it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled
      payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual
      terms of the loan agreement. Uncollateralized loans are measured for
      impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows
      discounted at the historical effective interest rate, while all
      collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair
      value of the collateral.

      There were no loans classified as impaired at December 31, 2004. Loans
      deemed to be impaired at December 31, 2003 amounted to $3.0 million and
      the related allowance for loan losses was $825,000. Average impaired loans
      during 2004 and 2003 were $2.1 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
      Interest income recognized on loans classified as impaired was $175,000
      for the year ended December 31, 2004.

      The Bank uses several factors in determining if a loan is impaired. The
      internal asset classification procedures include a thorough review of
      significant loans and lending relationships and include the accumulation
      of related data. This data includes loan payment status, borrowers'
      financial data and borrowers' operating factors such as cash flows,
      operating income or loss, etc. It is possible that these factors and
      management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses
      will change.

      The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
      losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for
      loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the
      principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes
      will be adequate to absorb



                                       -9-


Capital Bank Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on
      evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience.
      The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the
      nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review
      of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions and trends that
      may affect the borrowers' ability to pay.

      Income Recognition on Impaired and Nonaccrual Loans

      Loans, including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if
      they are past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a
      period of more than 90 days, unless such loans are well-secured and in the
      process of collection. If a loan or a portion of a loan is classified as
      doubtful or as partially charged off, the loan is generally classified as
      nonaccrual. Loans that are on a current payment status or past due less
      than 90 days may also be classified as nonaccrual if repayment in full of
      principal and/or interest is in doubt.

      Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest
      amounts contractually due (including arrearages) 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.

      While a loan is classified as nonaccrual and the future collectibility of
      the recorded loan balance is doubtful, collections of interest and
      principal are generally applied as a reduction to the principal
      outstanding, except in the case of loans with scheduled amortizations
      where the payment is generally applied to the oldest payment due. When the
      future collectibility of the recorded loan balance is expected, interest
      income may be recognized on a cash basis. In the case where a nonaccrual
      loan had been partially charged-off, recognition of interest on a cash
      basis is limited to that which would have been recognized on the recorded
      loan balance at the contractual interest rate. Receipts in excess of that
      amount are recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until
      prior charge-offs have been fully recovered.

      Foreclosed Assets

      Any assets acquired as a result of foreclosure are valued at the lower of
      the recorded investment in the loan or fair value less estimated costs to
      sell. The recorded investment is the sum of the outstanding principal loan
      balance and foreclosure costs associated with the loan. Any excess of the
      recorded investment over the fair value of the property received is
      charged to the allowance for loan losses. Valuations will be periodically
      performed by management and any subsequent write-downs due to the carrying
      value of a property exceeding its estimated fair value less estimated
      costs to sell are charged against other expenses.

      Premises and Equipment

      Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation
      and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed by the
      straight-line method based on estimated service lives of assets. Useful
      lives range from 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment. The cost of
      leasehold improvements is being amortized using the straight-line method
      over the terms of the related leases. Repairs and maintenance are charged
      to expense as incurred.

      Upon disposition, the asset and related accumulated depreciation or
      amortization are relieved and any gains or losses are reflected in
      operations.

      Income Taxes

      Deferred tax asset and liability balances are determined by application to
      temporary differences of the tax rate expected to be in effect when taxes
      will become payable or receivable. Temporary differences are differences
      between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts
      in the consolidated financial statements that will result in taxable or
      deductible amounts in future years. The effect on deferred taxes of a
      change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
      the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded for deferred tax
      assets if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that some
      portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

      Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
      Extinguishments of Liabilities

      The Company applies a financial-components approach that focuses on
      control when accounting and reporting for transfers and servicing of
      financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. Under that


                                      -10-


Capital Bank Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the
      financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has
      incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered,
      and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. This approach provides
      consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that
      are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.

      Derivatives

      The Company uses derivatives to manage interest rate risk. The instruments
      consist of interest rate swaps and swaptions. A derivative is a financial
      instrument that derives its cash flows, and therefore its value, by
      reference to an underlying instrument, index, or referenced interest rate.
      The Bank uses derivatives, accounted for as fair value hedges, to hedge
      its fixed rate interest-bearing liabilities.

      Under SFAS 133, derivatives are recorded in the balance sheet at fair
      value. For fair value hedges, the change in the fair value of the
      derivative and the corresponding change in fair value of the hedged risk
      in the underlying item being hedged are accounted for in earnings. Any
      difference in these two changes in fair value results in hedge
      ineffectiveness that results in a net impact to earnings.

      Derivative contracts are written in amounts referred to as notional
      amounts. Notional amounts only provide the basis for calculating payments
      between counterparties and do not represent amounts to be exchanged
      between parties and are not a measure of financial risk.

      Stock Option Plans

      The Company has a stock-based incentive compensation plan covering certain
      officers and directors. The Company grants stock options under the
      incentive plan for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal
      to the fair value of the shares on the date of grant. The Company has
      elected to account for these stock option grants in accordance with
      Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock
      Issued to Employees, and accordingly, recognizes no compensation expense
      for these stock option grants.

      The Company discloses pro forma net income and earnings per share in these
      notes as if compensation was measured under the fair value based method
      promulgated under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
      123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Under the fair value based
      method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date of the option
      based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period,
      which is usually the vesting period. Had compensation expense for the
      stock option plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the
      Company's net income and net income per share for the years ended December
      31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts
      indicated below. These pro forma amounts may not be representative of the
      effect on reported net income in future years.

      The Company is required to disclose the pro forma effects on net income as
      if it had recorded compensation based on the fair value of options
      granted. The fair values of the options granted in 2004, 2003 and 2002 are
      estimated on the date of the grants using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
      model. Option pricing models require the use of highly subjective
      assumptions, including expected stock volatility, which when changed can
      materially affect fair value estimates. The fair values were estimated
      using the following weighted-average assumptions:

      Net Income Per Share

      The Company follows SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. In accordance with
      SFAS No. 128, the Company has presented both basic and diluted EPS on the
      face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Basic EPS excludes
      dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common
      shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
      for the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for
      2004, 2003, and 2002 were as follows:

      Comprehensive Income

      The Company follows SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No.
      130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
      income (loss) and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses)
      in general-purpose financial statements.

      The Company's only components of other comprehensive income relate to
      unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities. Information
      concerning the Company's other comprehensive income (loss) for the years
      ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 is as follows:

      Segment Information

      The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 131 Disclosures about
      Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS 131 requires that
      public business enterprises report certain information about operating
      segments in their annual financial statements and in condensed financial
      statements of interim periods issued to shareholders. It also requires
      that the public business enterprises report related disclosures


                                      -12-


Capital Bank Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      and descriptive information about products and services provided by
      significant segments, geographic areas, and major customers, differences
      between the measurements used in reporting segment information and those
      used in the enterprise's general-purpose financial statements, and changes
      in the measurement of segment amounts from period to period.

      Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate
      financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the
      chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources, and
      in assessing performance. The Company has determined that it has one
      significant operating segment, the providing of general commercial
      financial services to customers located in the single geographic area of
      North Carolina. The various products are those generally offered by
      community banks, and the allocation of resources is based on the overall
      performance of the institution, versus the individual branches or
      products.

      Reclassifications

      Certain items included in the 2003 and 2002 financial statements have been
      reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation. These reclassifications
      have no effect on net income or shareholders' equity previously reported.

      New Pronouncements

      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. This
      standard is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
      Compensation, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
      Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation
      guidance. SFAS No. 123R requires all share-based payments to employees,
      including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the
      financial statements based on their fair values and is effective for the
      first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005.
      The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R on July 1, 2005, using the
      standard's modified prospective application method. Adoption of SFAS No.
      123R will not affect the Company's cash flows or financial position, but
      it will reduce reported income and earnings per share because the Company
      will be required to recognize compensation expense for share purchase
      rights granted under its employee stock option and employee stock purchase
      plans, whereas the Company has not been required to record such expense
      under current accounting rules. Under SFAS No. 123R, the Company will
      recognize compensation expense for the fair value of its share purchase
      rights over the vesting period. The Company has not performed all of the
      final calculations for expensing stock options but the estimated impact is
      presented under the heading "Stock Option Plans" in Note 1 - Significant
      Accounting Policies. In addition, the Company has other plans and
      liabilities impacted by SFAS No. 123R. These are obligations which may be
      settled in the Company's shares. The most material obligations are
      deferred compensation plans for directors and advisory board members. The
      Company is evaluating alternatives for these plans to minimize the impact
      to the Company's net income, including payment of shares due under the
      plans prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. If SFAS No. 123R were
      effective as of December 31, 2004, the impact on pretax income would have
      been approximately $1.0 million based on a share price of $18.75 per
      share.

2.    Significant Activities

      On January 18, 2002, the Company acquired First Community Financial
      Corporation ("First Community"), the holding company for Community Savings
      Bank, Inc. ("Community Savings Bank"). As a result of the acquisition, the
      Company issued an additional 1.9 million shares of common stock. The
      transaction was accounted for under the purchase method and was intended
      to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the
      Internal Revenue Code.

      On December 1, 2002, the Company acquired High Street Corporation ("High
      Street"), the holding company for High Street Banking Company ("High
      Street Bank"). As a result of the acquisition, the Company issued an
      additional 1.3 million shares of common stock. The transaction was
      accounted for under the purchase method and is intended to qualify as a
      tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

      The following table reflects the unaudited pro forma combined results of
      operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 assuming these
      acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2002:

      Net earnings per diluted share                                  0.51

      In management's opinion, these unaudited pro forma amounts are not
      necessarily indicative of what actual combined results of operations might
      have been if the acquisitions had been effective at the beginning of
      fiscal 2002.

      During 2003, the Company made several changes to its branch structure
      including the consolidation of two branches in Oxford into one main Oxford
      facility in a new location and the opening of an additional branch in
      Raleigh. In addition, during the third quarter of 2003, the Company made
      the decision to discontinue the operations of CBIS. CBIS will remain an
      inactive subsidiary of the Company. Also during 2003, the Company entered
      into two separate offerings of trust preferred securities, one in June by
      Trust I and the other in December by Trust II. See Notes to Consolidated
      Financial Statements - Note 11 - Subordinated Debentures for additional
      information on these Trusts.

      During 2004, the Company made additional changes to its branch structure
      including the sale of three branches in Warrenton, Seaboard and Woodland
      to other financial institutions in the third quarter. Included in the sale
      were approximately $39.6 million of deposits and $12.8 million of loans,
      as well as other assets. With the closing of the branch sale, the Company
      was required to make payments of $23.0 million dollars to cover the excess
      of liabilities over assets assumed by the acquiring companies. A one time
      gain was recorded for $1.2 million in connection with this sale. In
      addition, the Company opened three new branches during the year, one each
      in Wake Forest, Asheville and Greensboro, North Carolina. Also during
      2004, the Company sold a mortgage portfolio which was being serviced by an
      independent organization and which had been acquired as a part of a
      previous bank acquisition. The sale included approximately $19.2 million
      in loans and $152,000 in foreclosed assets. The Company recorded a
      $320,000 one time loss on this sale.

3.    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

      Net assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions are recorded at
      fair value at the date of acquisition, and as such, the historical cost
      basis of individual assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect their
      fair value. Identified intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis
      over the period benefited. In 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142
      Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and accordingly, goodwill is no
      longer amortized, but is reviewed for potential impairment at least
      annually at the reporting unit level. An impairment loss is recorded to
      the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair
      value.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Other intangible assets are evaluated for impairment if events and
      circumstances indicate a possible impairment. Such evaluation of other
      intangible assets is based on undiscounted cash flow projections. No
      impairment charges were recorded in 2004 based on the evaluation and a
      $10,000 charge was recorded in 2003 related to the shutdown of CBIS.

      As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, intangible assets, primarily deposit

      Government Agency Obligations. The unrealized losses on the Company's
      investments in direct obligations of U.S. government agencies were the
      result of interest rate increases. The contractual terms of these
      investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price
      materially less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the
      Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a
      recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not
      consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at
      December 31, 2004.

      Federal Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities. The unrealized losses on the
      Company's investment in agency mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA,
      FHLMC, and GNMA were caused by interest rate increases.

      The Company purchased most of these investments at either a discount or a
      premium relative to their face amount, and the contractual cash flows of
      each is guaranteed by the issuer organization. Accordingly, it is expected
      that the securities would not be settled at a price materially less than
      the amortized cost of the Company's investment. Because the decline in
      market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit
      quality and because the Company has the ability to hold these investments
      until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does
      not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at
      December 31, 2004.

      During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company had
      gross realized gains of $18,000, $442,000 and $981,000, respectively, on
      sales of available for sale securities with book values of $25.9 million,
      $15.4 million and $40.5 million.

      Securities with an amortized cost of $66.8 million were pledged as of
      December 31, 2004 to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements, and
      FHLB advances.

5.    Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

      During 2004, in order to raise additional capital, the Federal Home Loan
      Bank ("FHLB") restructured the stock ownership requirements in order to be
      a member of the FHLB System. As a member, the Bank is required to maintain
      an investment in capital stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to 0.20% of
      its total assets as of December 31st of the prior year (up to a maximum of
      $25.0 million) plus 4.5% of its outstanding FHLB advances. No ready market
      exists for the FHLB stock, and it has no quoted market value, therefore,
      cost approximates market at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

      At December 31, 2004, the Company had an additional $74.6 million of
      credit available with the FHLB.

10.   Derivative Financial Instruments

      The Company maintains positions in derivative financial instruments to
      manage interest rate risk, to facilitate asset/liability management
      strategies, and to manage other risk exposures.

      In July 2003, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to
      convert portions of its fixed rate FHLB advances to floating interest
      rates. Because of the effectiveness of the swap agreements against the
      related debt instruments, the adjustments needed to record the swaps at
      fair value were offset by the adjustments needed to record the related
      debt instruments at fair value and the net difference between those
      amounts were not material.

      These interest rate hedges, accounted for as fair value hedges, have an
      aggregated notional amount of $25.0 million and reset quarterly at
      variable rates based on 90 day LIBOR. The counterparty for these hedges is
      a firm with an investment grade rating by a nationally recognized
      investment rating service. The swaps are collateralized by certain
      investment securities and are summarized as follows:
                                                         Effective
                   Maturity                Amount      Variable Rate
                ------------------------------------------------------
                     2009              $ 10,000,000    LIBOR + 1.87
                     2011                15,000,000    LIBOR + 2.02

11.   Subordinated Debentures

      In June 2003 and December 2003, the Company formed the Trusts. Each issued
      10,000 of its floating rate capital securities (the "trust preferred
      securities"), with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per capital security, in
      pooled offerings of trust preferred securities. The Trusts sold their
      common securities to the Company for an aggregate of $620,000, resulting
      in total proceeds from each offering equal to $10,310,000 or $20,620,000
      in aggregate. The Trusts then used these proceeds to purchase $20,620,000
      in principal amount of the Company's Floating Rate Junior Subordinated
      Deferrable Interest Debentures (the "Debentures"). Following payment by
      the Company of a placement fee and other expenses of the offering, the
      Company's net proceeds from the offering aggregated $20.0 million.

      The trust preferred securities have a 30 year maturity and are redeemable
      after 5 years with certain exceptions. Prior to the redemption date, the
      trust preferred securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company
      after the occurrence of certain events, including without limitation
      events that would have a negative tax effect on the Company or the Trusts,
      would cause the trust preferred securities to no longer


                                      -21-

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      qualify as Tier 1 capital, or would result in the Trusts being treated as
      an investment company. The Trusts' ability to pay amounts due on the trust
      preferred securities is solely dependent upon the Company making payment
      on the Debentures. The Company's obligation under the Debentures
      constitutes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the
      Trusts' obligations under the trust preferred securities.

      The securities associated with both trusts are floating rate, based on 90
      day LIBOR, and adjust quarterly. Those associated with Trust I, originally
      issued in June 2003, adjust at LIBOR + 3.10% while the securities
      associated with Trust II, issued in December 2003, adjust at LIBOR +
      2.85%.

      The Debentures, which are subordinate and junior in right of payment to
      all present and future senior indebtedness and certain other financial
      obligations of the Company, are the sole assets of the Trusts and the
      Company's payment under the Debentures is the sole source of revenue for
      the Trusts.

      Per the provisions of FIN 46R, the assets and liabilities of the Trusts
      are not consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the
      Company. Interest on the Debentures is included in the Company's Condensed
      Consolidated Statements of Income as interest expense. The Debentures are
      presented as a separate category of long-term debt on the Consolidated
      Statements of Financial Condition entitled "Subordinated Debentures." For
      regulatory purposes, the $20.0 million of trust preferred securities
      qualifies as Tier 1 capital, subject to certain limitations, or Tier 2
      capital in accordance with regulatory reporting requirements.

      At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had net deferred tax assets of
      $6.0 million and $6.5 million, respectively. A valuation allowance is
      provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred
      tax asset will not be realized. In management's opinion, it is more likely
      than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient
      taxable income to recognize the deferred tax assets.

      Included in deferred tax assets are the tax benefits derived from net
      operating loss carryforwards totaling $3.0 million relating to a prior
      acquisition which expire in various amounts through 2022. Management
      expects to use be able to utilize all of these carryforward amounts before
      they expire.

13.   Leases

      The Company has noncancelable operating leases for its corporate office
      and branch locations that expire at various times through 2027. Future
      minimum lease payments under the leases for years subsequent to December
      31, 2004 are as follows:

      During 2004, 2003, and 2002, payments under operating leases were $1.2

14.   Regulatory Matters and Restrictions

      The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital
      requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies.
      Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
      mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators
      that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
      consolidated financial statements. Quantitative measures established by
      regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum
      amounts and ratios, as set forth in the table below. As of June 30, 2004,
      the most recent notification from regulators, the Bank was categorized as
      "well capitalized" by regulatory authorities. There are no conditions or
      events since that date that management believes could have an adverse
      effect on the Bank's category. Management believes that as of December 31,
      2004, the Company meets all capital requirements to which it is subject.

      The Bank, as a North Carolina banking corporation, may pay dividends only
      out of undivided profits as determined pursuant to North Carolina General
      Statues Section 53-87. At December 31, 2004, the undivided profits of the
      Bank totaled $5.5 million. However, regulatory authorities may limit
      payment of dividends by any bank when it is determined that such a
      limitation is in the public interest and is necessary to ensure financial
      soundness of the bank.

      To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and the Bank must
      maintain minimum amounts and ratios. The Company's actual capital amounts
      and ratios as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the minimum requirements
      are presented in the following table.

      The Company maintains a 401(k) plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of its
      employees, which includes provisions for employee contributions, subject
      to limitation under the Internal Revenue Code, with the Company to match
      contributions up to 6% of the employee's salary. The Plan provides that
      employees' contributions are 100% vested at all times and the Company's
      contributions vest 20% after the second year of service, an additional 20%
      after the third and fourth years of service and the remaining 40% after
      the fifth year of service. Further, the Company may make additional
      contributions on a discretionary basis. Aggregate contributions for 2004,
      2003, and 2002 were $366,000, $387,000, and $342,000, respectively.

16.   Stock Options

      The Company has stock option plans providing for the issuance of up to
      650,000 options to purchase shares of the Company's stock to officers and
      directors. At December 31, 2004, options for 162,510 shares of common
      stock remained available for future issuance. In addition, there were
      approximately 567,000 options which were assumed under various plans from
      previously acquired financial institutions, of which approximately 288,000
      remain outstanding.

      Grants of options are made by the Board or the Compensation Committee. All
      grants must be at no less than fair market value on the date of grant,
      must be exercised no later than 10 years from the date of grant, and may
      be subject to some vesting provisions.

      A summary of the activity during the years ending December 31, 2004, 2003
      and 2002 of the Company's stock option plans, including the weighted
      average exercise price ("WAEP") is presented below:

17.   Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentrations of
      Credit Risk

      To meet the financial needs of its customers, the Company is party to
      financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of
      business. At December 31, 2004, these financial instruments were comprised
      entirely of unused lines of credit. These instruments involve, to varying
      degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the
      balance sheet.

      The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by
      the other party is represented by the contractual amount of those
      instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making these
      commitments as they do for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of
      collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of
      credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower.
      Collateral held varies but may include trade accounts receivable,
      property, plant, and equipment and income-producing commercial properties.
      Since many unused lines of credit expire without being drawn upon, the
      total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
      requirements.

      Unused lines of credit were $123.2 million and $115.3 million,
      respectively, at the end of 2004 and 2003. Outstanding letters of credit
      were $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, at December 31, 2004 and
      2003.

      The Bank's lending is concentrated primarily in Wake, Chatham, Alamance,
      Buncombe, Catawba, Granville, and Lee counties in North Carolina.

18.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

      SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,
      requires the disclosure of estimated fair values for financial
      instruments. Quoted market prices, if available, are utilized as an
      estimate of the fair value of financial instruments. Because no quoted
      market prices exist for a significant part of the Company's financial
      instruments, the fair value of such instruments has been derived based on
      management's assumptions with respect to future economic conditions, the
      amount and timing of future cash flows and estimated discount rates.
      Different assumptions could significantly affect these estimates.
      Accordingly, the net amounts ultimately collected could be materially
      different from the estimates presented below. In addition, these estimates
      are only indicative of the values of individual financial instruments and
      should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Company
      taken as a whole.

      The fair values of cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, interest
      bearing deposits in banks and accrued interest receivable/payable are
      equal to the carrying value due to the nature of the financial
      instruments. The estimated fair values of investment securities are
      provided in Note 4 - Securities.

      The fair value of the net loan portfolio has been estimated using the
      present value of expected cash flows, discounted at an interest rate
      giving consideration to estimated prepayment risk and credit loss factors.
      The fair value of the Bank's loan portfolio at December 31, 2004 and 2003
      was as follows:

      (In thousands)                 2004         2003
                                   ---------------------
      Loans:
          Carrying amount          $644,146     $614,332
          Estimated fair value      643,663      617,705

      The deposit liabilities and repurchase agreements with no stated
      maturities are predominately at variable rates and, accordingly, the fair
      values have been estimated to equal the carrying amounts (the amount
      payable on demand), totaling $275.9 million and $269.8 million at December
      31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

      The fair values of certificates of deposits and advances from the FHLB are
      estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates
      offered for similar deposits and advances with the same remaining

      maturities. The carrying value and estimated fair values of certificates
      of deposit, FHLB advances and subordinated debt at December 31, 2004 and
      2003 were as follows:

      Certificates of deposits:
          Carrying amount                         $395,868        $370,817
          Estimated fair value                     395,348         373,286
      Advances from the FHLB:
          Carrying amount                         $102,320        $114,591
          Estimated fair value                     102,762         115,203

          Estimated fair value                      21,170          20,718

      There is no material difference between the carrying amount and estimated
      fair value of off-balance sheet items totaling $124.6 million and $116.9
      million at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, which are primarily
      comprised of unfunded loan commitments.

      The Company's remaining assets and liabilities are not considered
      financial instruments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Capital Bank Corporation

In our opinion, the consolidated balance sheets and the related statements of
operations, of changes in shareholders' equity, and of cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capital Bank
Corporation at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
