The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank") and Four Oaks Mortgage Services, LLC, a mortgage origination subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with such Annual Report. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or shareholders' equity. Subsequent events have been evaluated through August 7, 2009, which is the date of financial statement issuance. NOTE 2 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the net income of the Company. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share have been computed based upon net income (loss) as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding or assumed to be outstanding as summarized below: 8 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 2 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE (Continued) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, -------------------------- -------------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Weighted average number of common shares used in computing basic net income (loss) per share 6,998,994 6,248,016 6,965,927 6,220,661 Effect of dilutive stock options - 15,585 - 16,595 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares used in computing diluted net income (loss) per share 6,998,994 6,263,601 6,965,927 6,237,256 ============ ============ ============ ============ As of June 30, 2009 there were 311,403 antidilutive stock options outstanding.

As of June 30, 2009, the unrealized losses relate to six mortgage-backed securities, 105 municipal securities and 12 other securities. Four of the 12 other securities had continuous unrealized losses for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses relate to debt securities that have incurred fair value reductions due to higher market interest rates since the securities were purchased. The unrealized losses are not likely to reverse unless and until market interest rates decline to the levels that existed when the securities were purchased. Since none of the unrealized losses relate to the marketability of the securities or the issuer's ability to honor redemption obligations, none of the securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

Sales and calls of securities available for sale during the periods ending June 30, 2009, and June 30, 2008 generated gross realized gains of $1.4 million and $301,000, respectively and gross realized losses of $41,000 and $5,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized $27,000 of impairment loss on common equity marketable securities and $154,000 of impairment loss on a nonmarketable equity investment. There was no impairment loss recognized on investments for the six months ended June 30, 2008. 11 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES (Continued) At June 30, 2009, the balance of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta stock held by the Company is $6.8 million. On March 25, 2009 and May 8, 2009, FHLB announced that it would not pay a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2008 or first quarter of 2009, respectively, reflecting a conservative financial management approach in light of continued volatility in the financial markets. On February 27, 2009, FHLB announced that it would increase the Subclass B1 membership stock requirement cap from $25 million to $26 million and approve excess activity-based stock repurchases on a quarterly review cycle instead of daily in order to facilitate capital management. Management believes that its investment in FHLB stock was not other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008. However, there can be no assurance that the impact of recent or future legislation on the Federal Home Loan Banks will not also cause a decrease in the value of the FHLB stock held by the Company. NOTE 5 - LOANS An analysis of the allowance for loan losses is as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, --------------------------- --------------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ (In thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 10,450 $ 6,800 $ 9,542 $ 6,653 Provision charged to operations 4,372 954 6,014 1,242 Charge-offs (1,556) (814) (2,344) (978) Recoveries 23 46 77 69 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net (charge-offs) recoveries (1,533) (768) (2,267) (909) Allowance recorded related to loans acquired in acquisition of LongLeaf Community Bank - 1,398 - 1,398 Balance at end of period $ 13,289 $ 8,384 $ 13,289 $ 8,384 ============ ============ ============ ============ NOTE 6 - SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTES The Company sold $7.8 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated promissory notes to certain accredited investors during the three months ended June 30, 2009. These notes are due in ten years, beginning May 15, 2019, and the Company is obligated to pay interest at an annualized rate of 8.5% payable in quarterly installments beginning on the third month anniversary of the date of issuance. The Company may prepay the notes at any time after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, subject to compliance with applicable law. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, and as of the date of these financial statements, the Company has sold an additional $2.3 million in subordinated promissory notes with the same terms and conditions as described above. The Company may elect to sell additional notes upon the same terms and conditions in one or more subsequent closings on or prior to August 13, 2009, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all notes issued in all closings does not exceed $12 million. The Company may extend the August 13, 2009 deadline if all $12 million has not been sold by that date. 12 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT On January 1, 2008 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157") and SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 159 provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had not elected to measure any financial assets or liabilities using the fair value option under SFAS No. 159. Therefore the adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. The Company records securities available for sale and derivative assets or liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is a market-based measurement and is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability is a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the assets or owes the liability. In general, the transaction price will equal the exit price and, therefore, represent the fair value of the asset or liability at initial recognition. In determining whether a transaction price represents the fair value of the asset or liability at initial recognition, each reporting entity is required to consider factors specific to the transaction and the asset or liability, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, and market participants with whom the entity would transact in the market. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The inputs are evaluated and an overall level for the fair value measurement is determined. This overall level is an indication of how market-observable the fair value measurement is and defines the level of disclosure. SFAS No. 157 clarifies fair value in terms of the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the principal (or most advantageous) market for the asset or liability at the measurement date (an exit price). In order to determine the fair value or the exit price, entities must determine the unit of account, highest and best use, principal market, and market participants. These determinations allow the reporting entity to define the inputs for fair value and level of hierarchy. Outlined below is the application of the fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157 to the Company's financial assets that are carried at fair value. Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which the transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the types of financial assets and liabilities the Company carried at fair value hierarchy Level 2 included securities available for sale and derivatives. There were no derivative assets or liabilities at June 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008. 13 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued) Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs are supported by little or no market activity or by the Company's own assumptions. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company did not carry any financial assets or liabilities, measured on a recurring basis, at fair value hierarchy Level 3, but the Company did value certain financial assets, measured on a non-recurring basis, at fair value hierarchy Level 3. Fair Value Measured on a Recurring Basis. The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a recurring basis, as described below. Investment Securities Available for Sale Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security's credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Below is a table that presents information about assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008: Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2009 Using ------------------------------------------------------ Total Carrying Quoted Prices Significant Amount in The Assets in Active Other Significant Consolidated Measured at Fair Markets for Observable Unobservable Balance Sheet Value Identical Assets Inputs Inputs Description 6/30/2009 6/30/2009 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) - ----------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Federal Agency Securities - - - - - Tax Exempt Securites 71,774 71,774 - 71,774 - Mortgage-backed Securities 75,646 75,646 - 75,646 - Other Investments 4,206 4,206 4,206 - - ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Total Available for sale Securities $ 151,626 $ 151,626 $ 4,206 $ 147,420 - 14 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued) Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2008 Using ------------------------------------------------------ Total Carrying Quoted Prices Significant Amount in The Assets in Active Other Significant Consolidated Measured at Fair Markets for Observable Unobservable Balance Sheet Value Identical Assets Inputs Inputs Description 12/31/2008 12/31/2008 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) - ----------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Federal Agency Securities 65,747 65,747 - 65,747 - Tax Exempt Securites 46,975 46,975 - 46,976 - Mortgage-backed Securities 55,013 55,013 - 55,013 - Other Investments 4,256 4,256 4,256 - - ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Total Available for sale Securities $ 171,991 $ 171,991 $ 4,256 $ 167,735 $ - Fair Value Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis. The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, as described below. Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, the Company classifies loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2. There were no loans held for sale and no fair value adjustments related to loans held for sale as of or for the periods ended June 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008. Loans The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15." The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2009, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, impaired loans with an allowance established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When a current appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as 15 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT (Continued) nonrecurring Level 3. Impaired loans totaled $25.6 million and $20.8 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Of such loans, $23.5 million and $17.0 million had specific loss allowances aggregating $5.8 million and $2.9 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Of those specific allowances, all were determined using Level 3 inputs. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and identified intangible assets are subject to impairment testing. When appropriate, a projected cash flow valuation method is used in the completion of impairment testing. This valuation method requires a significant degree of management judgment. In the event the projected undiscounted net operating cash flows are less than the carrying value, the asset is recorded at fair value as determined by the valuation model. As such, the Company classifies goodwill and other intangible assets subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were no fair value adjustments related to goodwill of $6.1 million and other intangible assets of $419,000 and $449,000, respectively. Foreclosed Assets Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management's estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company recorded foreclosed real estate of $4.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively. All foreclosed asset values were determined using Level 3 inputs. NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS As discussed in Note 9, the Company has adopted the provisions set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board ("APB") 28-1, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("FSP FAS 107-1"), which amends SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" ("SFAS No. 107"), requiring a company to disclose on an interim and annual basis the fair value of its financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practical to estimate that value. 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 realizable value could be materially different from the estimates presented below. In addition, the estimates are only indicative of individual financial instruments' values and should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Company taken as a whole. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. 16 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) Cash and Cash Equivalents The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents are equal to the fair value due to the liquid nature of the financial instruments. Investment Securities Available for Sale Fair values of investment securities available for sale are based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. Loans Fair values have been estimated by type of loan: residential real estate loans, consumer loans, and commercial and other loans. For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values of fixed rate loans are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities, adjusted for current liquidity and market conditions. The Company has assigned no fair value to off-balance sheet financial instruments since they are either short term in nature or subject to immediate repricing. FHLB Stock The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value. Investment in Life Insurance The carrying value of life insurance approximates fair value because this investment is carried at cash surrender value, as determined by the insurer. Deposits The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at year-end. Fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate offered for similar deposits with the same maturities. Borrowings and Subordinated Debentures The fair values of borrowings and subordinated debentures are based on discounting expected cash flows at the interest rate for debt with the same or similar remaining maturities and collection requirements. Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value. Derivative Financial Instruments Fair values for interest rate swap agreements are based upon the estimated amounts required to settle the contracts. 17 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) The following table presents information for financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008: June 30, 2009 December 31, 2008 ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated Value Fair Value Value Fair Value ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 30,496 $ 30,496 $ 28,875 $ 28,875 Securities available for sale 151,626 151,626 171,991 171,991 Loans, net 705,180 700,600 671,958 666,558 FHLB stock 6,771 6,771 6,529 6,529 Investment in life insurance 10,818 10,818 10,566 10,566 Accrued interest receivable 3,790 3,790 4,216 4,216 Financial liabilities: Deposits $ 738,322 $ 728,762 $ 722,693 $ 715,581 Subordinated debentures 12,372 12,372 12,372 11,773 Subordinated promissory notes 7,800 7,801 - - Borrowings 112,679 132,825 114,314 117,042 Accrued interest payable 3,060 3,060 3,282 3,282 NOTE 9 - OTHER RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), "Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which replaces SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities and any noncontrolling interest acquired due to a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) expands the definitions of a business and a business combination, resulting in an increased number of transactions or other events that will qualify as business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R) the entity that acquires the business will record 100 percent of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values. As such, an acquirer will not be permitted to recognize the allowance for loan losses of the acquiree. SFAS No. 141(R) requires the acquirer to recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date, measured as a residual. In most business combinations, goodwill will be recognized to the extent that the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at the acquisition date exceeds the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Under SFAS No. 141(R), acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed as incurred rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, for acquisitions completed after December 31, 2008, the Company will apply the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R). 18 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 9 - OTHER RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued) In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 applies to all derivative instruments and related hedged items accounted for under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 161 requires entities to provide greater transparency about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS No. 161 requires (1) qualitative disclosures about objectives for using derivatives by primary underlying risk exposure (e.g., interest rate, credit or foreign exchange rate) and by purpose or strategy (fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, net investment hedge, and non-hedges), (2) information about the volume of derivative activity in a flexible format that the preparer believes is the most relevant and practicable, (3) tabular disclosures about balance sheet location and gross fair value amounts of derivative instruments, income statement and other comprehensive income location of gain and loss amounts on derivative instruments by type of contract, and (4) disclosures about credit-risk related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") FAS 157-3, "Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active." The FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. This FSP was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. In April 2009, the FASB issued three related FSPs to (1) clarify the application of SFAS No. 157 to fair value measurements in the current economic environment, (2) modify the recognition of other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities, and (3) require companies to disclose the fair values of financial instruments in interim periods. The final FSPs are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009, if all three FSPs or both the fair value measurements and other-than-temporary impairment FSPs are adopted simultaneously. The Company has adopted these FSPs effective for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2009. None of the FSPs had a significant impact on financial condition or results of operations, but each is described in more detail below. FSP FAS 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly," provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and also provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale), between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. 19 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 9 - OTHER RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued) FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, "Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments," amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. The FSP does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 107-1 amends SFAS No. 107 to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require those disclosures in summarized information in interim reporting periods. In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, "Subsequent Events," ("SFAS No. 165"), which sets forth the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events occurring after the balance sheet date and the disclosures that should be made. Also, this statement requires disclosure of the date through which the entity has evaluated subsequent events (for public companies, and other companies that expect to widely distribute their financial statements, this date is the date of financial statement issuance, and for nonpublic companies, the date the financial statements are available to be issued). The statement was effective and adopted for the period ended June 30, 2009. In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140" ("SFAS No. 166"). SFAS No. 166 makes several significant amendments to SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 140"), including the removal of the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from SFAS No. 140. SFAS No. 166 also clarifies that a transferor must evaluate whether it has maintained effective control of a financial asset by considering its continuing direct or indirect involvement with the transferred financial asset. The provisions of SFAS No. 166 are effective for financial asset transfers occurring after December 31, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of SFAS No. 166 may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)" ("SFAS No. 167"). SFAS No. 167 requires a qualitative rather than a quantitative analysis to determine the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE") for consolidation purposes. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise that has: (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The provisions of SFAS No. 167 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2010. Management is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of SFAS No. 167 may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 20 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 9 - OTHER RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued) In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" ("SFAS No. 168"). SFAS No. 168 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") to become the single source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities, with the exception of guidance issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and its staff. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The provisions of SFAS No. 168 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of SFAS No. 168 may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. NOTE 10 - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS WITH THE U.S. TREASURY The United States Treasury ("the Treasury") has announced that it will make funds available to certain banks under the Troubled Asset Relief Program's Capital Purchase Program (the "Program"). The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 authorized the Treasury to establish the Program under which certain United States financial institutions may sell senior preferred stock and issue warrants to purchase an institution's common stock to the Treasury in exchange for a capital infusion. Under the Program, eligible institutions can generally apply to issue preferred stock to the Treasury in aggregate amounts between 1% and 3% of the institution's risk-weighted assets. In November 2008, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") authorized and approved the Company's participation in the Program, and the Company filed its application with the Treasury in November 2008 to participate in the Program. In order to participate in the Program, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to authorize preferred stock and the Board authorized the Company to sell up to 20,000 shares of senior preferred stock to the Treasury for $1,000 per share. As of the filing date of this report, the Company has not heard from the Treasury on the final status of its application to participate in the Program. Accordingly, there is no binding agreement or commitment with respect to the Company's participation in the Program. The Company and the Treasury must still negotiate the terms and conditions of the Company's participation in the Program, which means that closing of the transaction is not guaranteed. Although the Company has no reason to believe that the Company will not be able to ultimately participate in the Program, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to ultimately participate in the Program, and the approximate number of shares of preferred stock that the Company may issue pursuant to the Program or the approximate amount of consideration the Company will receive as compensation from the Treasury for any such shares that may be issued by the Company under the Program cannot be determined at this time. 21 FOUR OAKS FINCORP, INC. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements NOTE 11 - PROPOSED MERGER WITH NUESTRO BANCO On April 29, 2009, the Company and the Bank entered into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with Nuestro Banco ("Nuestro") pursuant to which Nuestro will merge with and into the Bank. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company has agreed to acquire all outstanding shares of Nuestro's capital stock in exchange for approximately 357,099 shares of the Company's common stock. At the effective time of the merger, each share of Nuestro common stock will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive 1.0 share of Company common stock multiplied by an exchange ratio of 0.2697 on and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement. The Company will also assume each option to purchase Nuestro capital stock that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. Subject to each holder of a warrant to purchase Nuestro capital stock providing a written termination of his or her warrant prior to the effective time of the merger, each issued and outstanding warrant to purchase Nuestro capital stock will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a warrant to purchase that number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the number of Nuestro shares underlying the cancelled warrant immediately prior to the effective time of the merger multiplied by an exchange ratio of 0.2697. The proposed transaction with Nuestro is subject to customary closing conditions, including shareholder approval by Nuestro shareholders, which occurred on June 23, 2009. The Company is currently awaiting approval of the merger by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 22 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion provides information about the major components of the financial condition and results of operations of Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. Impact of Recent Developments on the Banking Industry The banking industry, including the Company, is operating in a challenging and volatile economic environment. The effects of the downturn in the housing market have adversely impacted credit markets, consumer confidence, and the broader economy. Along with other financial institutions, the Company's stock price has suffered as a result. Management cannot predict when these market difficulties will subside. While the current economic downturn and the difficulties it presents for the Company and others in the banking industry are unprecedented, management believes that the business is cyclical and must be viewed and measured over time. The Company's primary focus at this time is to manage the business safely during the economic downturn and be poised to take advantage of any market opportunities that may arise. Because of the current economic situation, U.S. and foreign governments have acted in attempts to stabilize the financial system. For example, the U.S. government has adopted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, which, among other things, authorized the U.S. Treasury ("the Treasury") to establish the Troubled Asset Relief Program's Capital Purchase Program under which certain United States financial institutions may sell senior preferred stock and issue warrants to purchase an institution's common stock to the Treasury in exchange for a capital infusion. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for a more detailed discussion of the Company's potential participation in this program. It is not clear at this time what impact these measures will have on the Company or the financial markets as a whole. Management will continue to monitor the effects of these programs as they relate to the Company and its financial operations. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), which imposes insurance assessments on the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank"), recently voted to amend the restoration of the Deposit Insurance Fund. The FDIC's Board of Governors imposed a special assessment on insured institutions of 5 basis points; implemented changes to the risk- based assessment system, and increased regular premium rates for 2009, which banks must pay on top of the special assessment. The 5 basis point special assessment on the industry will be as assessed on the Bank's assets less Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009, payable September 30, 2009. As a result of the special assessment and increased regular assessments the Company projects at this time it will experience an increase in FDIC assessment by approximately $1.2 million from 2008 to 2009. The 5 basis point special assessment represents $445,000 of this increase. The FDIC further is expected to impose an additional special assessment in 2009 of up to 5 basis points. Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 The Company's total assets grew from $924.8 million at December 31, 2008 to $943.7 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $18.9 million, or 2.0%. The Company's liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available for sale, decreased $18.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to liquid assets as of December 31, 2008, primarily from decreases in investment securities of $20.4 million. Gross loans increased by $37.0 million or 5.4% from $681.5 million at December 31, 2008 to $718.5 million at June 30, 2009. The Company's loan portfolio increase is due mainly to growth in the residential sector. Deposits grew $15.6 million or 2.2% from $722.7 million at December 31, 2008 to $738.3 million at June 30, 2009. Deposits from the Company's local market continued to be its primary funding source, accounting for 72.8% of overall deposits, while wholesale deposits increased by $29.0 million or 16.9% for the same period. 23 Total shareholders' equity decreased approximately $621,000 from $66.7 million at December 31, 2008 to $66.0 million at June 30, 2009. The decreases resulted primarily from dividends paid to the Company's shareholders of $1.2 million and other comprehensive losses of $419,000 during the first six months of 2009. Offsetting this decrease is our net income of $202,000, issuance of shares of common stock valued at $739,000 and stock compensation expense of $39,000. At June 30, 2009, both the Company and the Bank were considered to be well capitalized as such term is defined in applicable federal regulations. Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 Net Income (Loss). Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $705,000, or $.10 basic net loss per share, as compared with net income of $964,000, or $.15 basic net income per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $1.7 million or $.25 basic net loss per share. Net income declined primarily due to an increase of $3.4 million in the provision for loan losses due to the deterioration of the local economy and the special assessment from the FDIC of $445,000. Net Interest Income. Like most financial institutions, the primary component of earnings for the Bank is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loan and investment securities portfolios, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread and margin. For this purpose, volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Margin is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as by levels of non-interest-bearing liabilities and capital. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $7.3 million, an increase of $1.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008, which was primarily due to a decrease in the cost of deposits. Average interest-earning assets increased $144.7 million for the quarter and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $140.6 million for the same period. Margins decreased only slightly, primarily due to the cost of liabilities continuing to decrease as yields on assets stabilized resulting in a decrease in the Company's net interest margin by 10 basis points from 3.38% during the three months ended June 30, 2008 to 3.28% during the three months ended June 30, 2009. Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $4.4 million and $954,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $3.4 million. Net charge-offs of $1.5 million were recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net charge offs of $768,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008. Non-accrual loans increased from $7.1 million to $25.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Of this increase, $15.3 million relates to new home construction contractors, $5.0 million relates to residential mortgages and $4.0 million in business construction loans. The Company has evaluated these loans in determining its allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2009, and has determined that its exposure to loss on these loans is largely mitigated by the values of the underlying collateral. At June 30, 2009, impaired loans, which include non-accrual loans, totaled $25.6 million. Of these loans, $23.5 million have specific loss allowances that aggregate $5.8 million. Loan growth, increased levels of past due loans and nonperforming assets, and further deterioration of our local economy led us to increase our allowance for loan losses to 1.85% of gross loans at June 30, 2009 as compared to 1.31% as of June 30, 2008. Management believes that the allowance is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. 24 Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $408,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $1.9 million as compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2008. The increase is primarily due to realized gains on the sale of investment securities of $695,000. Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $742,000 to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. This increase was due in part to increases in professional and legal expenses of $291,000, relating to expansion and capital enhancement initiatives. The additional increase occurred in other operating expenses, which increased $431,000. The primary increases in non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 included increases in foreclosure expense of $80,000 and an increase in the FDIC insurance premium of $487,000. Offsetting these were decreases in printing and office supplies of $47,000 and meals, travel and entertainment of $17,000. There were no other significant increases in any of the remaining non-interest expenses. Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes, was 51.1% and 23.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase resulted because non-taxable income from investment securities comprised a larger portion of income before taxes in the prior quarter. Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 Net Income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $202,000, or $.03 basic net income per share as compared to $2.5 million, or $.39 basic net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $2.3 million or $.36 per share. Net income declined primarily due to the increased provision for loan losses due to the deterioration of the local economy, and the special assessment for FDIC premiums of $445,000. Net Interest Income. Net interest income was $14.1 million and $12.5 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Interest and dividend income was $23.8 million and $24.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in interest and dividend income was offset by a decrease in interest expense on deposits and borrowings of $2.2 million to $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease in interest expense was primarily due to deposits repricing lower even though average deposits grew $154.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Margins decreased as the yields on assets fell faster than the cost of liabilities, resulting in a decrease in the Company's net interest margin by 25 basis points from 3.44% in the first half of 2008 to 3.19% in the first half of 2009. Provision for Loan Losses. The Company's provision for loan losses was $6.0 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of $4.8 million. Net charge-offs of $2.3 million were recorded during the first six months of 2009, compared to $909,000 for the first six months of 2008. Non-performing assets aggregated $31.7 million at June 30, 2009, increasing $24.6 million from the $7.1 million at June 30, 2008, while the allowance for loan losses, expressed as a percentage of gross loans, was 1.85% at June 30, 2009 and 1.31% at June 30, 2008. This $24.6 million increase was primarily due to increases in non-accrual loans, of this $15.3 million relates to new home construction contractors, $5.0 million relates to residential mortgages and $4.0 million relates to business construction loans. Loan growth, increased levels of past due loans and nonperforming assets, and further deterioration of our local economy led us to increase our allowance for loan losses to 1.85% of gross loans at June 30, 2009 as compared to 1.31% as of June 30, 2008. Management believes that the allowance is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. 25 Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $691,000 to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $2.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. This increase is primarily due to an increase of $1.1 million in the sale of investment securities. Offsetting the increase were decreases in other service charges, commissions and fee income of $70,000 and impairment losses of $181,000. There were no other significant changes in any of the categories of income that comprise the Company's total non-interest income. Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $1.5 million to $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was due in part to net occupancy and equipment expenses increases of $118,000, increases in professional and legal fees of $532,000 relating to expansion and capital enhancement initiatives, costs related to foreclosed assets of $108,000 and other operating expenses of $571,000. The primary increase in other non-interest expense for the first six months of 2009 includes an increase in the FDIC insurance premium of $611,000. There were no other significant increases in any of the remaining non-interest expenses which grew due to the Company's overall asset growth. Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes, was -150.8% and 31.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The percentage decreased for the current six month period because tax exempt interest and nontaxable income from bank-owned life insurance represented a much larger component of income before income taxes. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's liquidity position is primarily dependent upon the Bank's need to respond to loan demand, the short-term demand for funds caused by withdrawals from deposit accounts (other than time deposits) and the liquidity of its assets. The Bank's primary liquidity sources include cash and amounts due from other banks, federal funds sold, and U.S. Government agency and other marketable investment securities. The Bank also has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and to purchase federal funds from other financial institutions. Beginning on May 15, 2009, the Company began offering subordinated promissory notes to accredited investors. These notes are due in ten years, and the Company is obligated to pay interest at an annualized rate of 8.5% payable in quarterly installments commencing on the third month anniversary of the date of issuance. The Company may prepay the notes at any time after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance, subject to compliance with applicable law. As of June 30, 2009 and August 7, 2009 the Company has sold $7.8 million and $10.1 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated promissory notes, respectively. The Company may elect to sell additional notes upon the same terms and conditions in subsequent closings on or prior to August 13, 2009, unless extended, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all notes issued in all closings does not exceed $12 million. Management believes that the Bank's liquidity sources are adequate to meet its operating needs and the operating needs of the Bank for the next eighteen months. Total shareholders' equity was $66.0 million or 7.0% of total assets at June 30, 2009 and $66.7 million or 7.2% of total assets at December 31, 2008. Additionally, we have available lines of credit from various correspondent banks to purchase federal funds on a short-term basis of approximately $33.0 million. As of June 30, 2009, the Bank has the credit capacity to borrow up to $188.7 million, from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"), with $112.7 million outstanding as of that date. At December 31, 2008 we had FHLB borrowings outstanding of $114.3 million. The Treasury has announced that it will make funds available to certain banks under the Troubled Asset Relief Program's Capital Purchase Program (the "Program"). The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 authorized the Treasury to establish the Program under which certain United States financial institutions may sell senior preferred stock and issue warrants to purchase an institution's common stock to the Treasury in exchange for a capital infusion. Under the Program, eligible institutions can generally apply to issue preferred stock to the Treasury in aggregate amounts between 1% and 3% of the institution's risk-weighted assets. In November 2008, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") authorized and approved the Company's participation in the Program, and the Company filed its application with the Treasury in November 2008 to participate in the Program. In order to participate in the Program, the Company's shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to authorize preferred stock and the Board authorized the Company to sell up to 20,000 shares of senior preferred stock to the Treasury for $1,000 per share. 26 As of the filing date of this report, the Company has not heard from the Treasury on the final status of its application to participate in the Program. Accordingly, there is no binding agreement or commitment with respect to the Company's participation in the Program. The Company and the Treasury must still negotiate the terms and conditions of the Company's participation in the Program, which means that closing of the transaction is not guaranteed. Although the Company has no reason to believe that the Company will not be able to ultimately participate in the Program, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to ultimately participate in the Program, and the approximate number of shares of preferred stock that the Company may issue pursuant to the Program or the approximate amount of consideration the Company will receive as compensation from the Treasury for any such shares that may be issued by the Company under the Program cannot be determined at this time. Forward-looking Information Information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which statements represent the Company's judgment concerning the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual operating results and financial position to differ materially. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," or "continue" or the negative thereof, or other variations thereof, or comparable terminology. The Company cautions that any such forward-looking statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause its actual operating results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the effects of future economic conditions, governmental fiscal and monetary policies, legislative and regulatory changes, the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, the effects of competition from other financial institutions, the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of the allowance for loan losses, the low trading volume of the Company's common stock, other considerations described in connection with specific forward-looking statements and other cautionary elements specified in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), including without limitation, its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K. 27 ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company believes there has not been any material change in information or in the overall analysis of financial instruments considered market risk sensitive, as measured by the factors of contractual maturities, average interest rates and the difference between estimated fair values and book values, since the analysis prepared and presented in conjunction with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES As required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in that they provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods required by the Commission's rules and forms. There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that the Company believes have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting. Item 4T - Controls and Procedures Not applicable. Part II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our Proposed Transaction with Nuestro Banco is Subject to Uncertainties. Our proposed transaction with Nuestro is subject to customary closing conditions, including shareholder approval by Nuestro shareholders, which occurred on June 23, 2009. If any of the conditions to closing are not satisfied or waived, the proposed transaction would not be completed. In addition, the merger agreement relating to the proposed transaction can be terminated prior to completion of the transaction under certain circumstances, including where Nuestro receives an acquisition proposal from a third party that its board believes is more favorable to its shareholders than the proposed transaction (after following specific procedures described in our merger agreement with Nuestro). If the merger agreement is terminated, the proposed transaction would not be completed, and, in certain circumstances, Nuestro could be required to pay us a termination fee of $175,000. If the merger is not completed, the value of our common stock could decline. We are currently targeting to close the proposed transaction, assuming the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions, including approval of the merger by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in the third quarter of 2009. The closing of the proposed transaction could be delayed beyond the third quarter of 2009 due to many factors, including factors beyond the control of either party. 28 We May Not Be Able To Successfully Integrate Bank Mergers and Acquisitions, Including the Merger of Nuestro into the Bank. Our proposed merger of the bank with Nuestro involves the combination of two banks that previously have operated independently. Difficulties may arise in the integration of the business and operations of any banks that we acquire and, as a result, we may not be able to achieve the cost savings and synergies that we expect will result from such transactions. Achieving cost savings is dependent on consolidating certain operational and functional areas, eliminating duplicative positions, and terminating certain agreements for outside services. Additional operational savings are dependent upon the integration of the acquired or merged entity's businesses with ours, the conversion of core operating systems, data systems, and products and the standardization of business practices. Complications or difficulties in the conversion of the core operating systems, data systems, and products may result in the loss of customers, damage to our reputation within the financial services industry, operational problems, one-time costs currently not anticipated or reduced cost savings resulting from such mergers or acquisitions. Annual cost savings in each such transaction may be materially less than anticipated if the merger or acquisition is delayed unexpectedly, the integration of operations is delayed beyond what is anticipated or the conversion to a single data system is not accomplished on a timely basis. Difficulty in integrating an acquired company may cause us not to realize expected revenue increases, cost savings, increases in geographic or product presence, and/or other projected benefits from the acquisition. The integration could result in higher than expected deposit attrition, loss of key employees, disruption of our businesses or the businesses of the acquired company, or otherwise adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees or achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
