(the &amp;#8220;Company&amp;#8221;) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, VantageSouth Bank (formerly known as Crescent State Bank). On July 22, 2013, the Company changed its name from Crescent Financial Bancshares, Inc. ("Crescent") to VantageSouth Bancshares, Inc. and transferred the listing of its common stock to the NYSE MKT, LLC under the ticker symbol "VSB." The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (&amp;#8220;U.S. GAAP&amp;#8221;). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by such accounting principles for complete financial statements, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes in the Company&amp;#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;December&amp;#160;31, 2012&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; (the &amp;#8220;Company&amp;#8217;s &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;2012&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Form 10-K&amp;#8221;).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included, and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Results of operations for the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;six&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; months ended &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;June&amp;#160;30, 2013&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. The consolidated balance sheet as of &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;December&amp;#160;31, 2012&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company&amp;#8217;s &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;2012&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Form 10-K. A description of the accounting policies followed by the Company are as set forth in Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company&amp;#8217;s &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;2012&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Form 10-K.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:24px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;These consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted for the change in reporting entity described below. Therefore, historical results of operations presented in these consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2012, the predecessor period from January 1 to January 31, 2012 and the successor period from February 1 to June 30, 2012 are significantly different from the Company's quarterly consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2012. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Merger of Entities Under Common Control and Change in Reporting Entity&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On November 30, 2012, the Company completed the merger of VantageSouth Bank ("Legacy VantageSouth") into Crescent State Bank in a share exchange. All outstanding Legacy VantageSouth shares of common stock were converted into Crescent's shares at a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;5.3278&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; exchange ratio for a total transaction value of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$35,000&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The Company re-branded its wholly-owned banking subsidiary as VantageSouth Bank immediately following the merger. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The merger of Legacy VantageSouth into Crescent State Bank was a merger of commonly-controlled companies and was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests transaction. Thus, the Company's financial statements were retrospectively adjusted to combine the financial condition and results of operations of Crescent and Legacy VantageSouth from the date the two companies became commonly controlled by Piedmont Community Bank Holdings, Inc. ("Piedmont"). Due to the application of push-down accounting to Legacy VantageSouth's books on February 1, 2012, which was the date that Piedmont purchased the bank's remaining non-controlling equity interests, periods prior to this date are denoted as "Predecessor Company" and periods after this date are denoted as "Successor Company."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;background-color:#ffffff;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Change in Accounting Estimate&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Due to rapidly declining loss rates in the Company's loan portfolio and in peer loan portfolios in recent quarters, in the second quarter of 2013, the Company expanded the time period of historical losses it uses to determine reserve rates for loans evaluated collectively in its allowance for loan losses model from two to three years. The Company believes that this change was necessary to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses based on its evaluation of portfolio risk and market conditions. Because the Company has not yet experienced significant charge-offs and has not completed a full credit cycle on its non-acquired loan portfolio, trailing three-year peer loss rates are used as a proxy for charge-off rates on the Company's non-acquired loan portfolio. This change in accounting estimate to expand the historical loss period from two to three years increased the non-acquired allowance for loan losses by &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$168&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of June 30, 2013. For purchased non-impaired loans, the Company uses trailing three-year historical loss rates on its own loan portfolio (including historical losses on all acquired banks). The expansion of the historical loss period on the purchased non-impaired portfolio had no impact on the allowance for loan losses on this portfolio since the remaining acquisition accounting discount exceeded the required reserve using either approach as of June 30, 2013.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2013-02 - &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; The amendments in this update require an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendments were effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial position or results of operations. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Intangibles &amp;#8211; Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) &amp;#8211; Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The amendments in this update give entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill, is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity must perform the quantitative impairment test. Permitting an entity to assess qualitative factors when testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment results in guidance that is similar to the goodwill impairment testing guidance in ASU 2011-08. The amendments were effective beginning January 1, 2013. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial position or results of operations. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Intangibles &amp;#8212; Goodwill and Other,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to amend FASB Accounting Standards Codification (&amp;#8220;ASC&amp;#8221;) Topic 350, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Testing Goodwill for Impairment&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The amendments in the update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The amendments were effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial position or results of operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Presentation of Comprehensive Income,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to amend FASB ASC Topic 220, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Comprehensive Income&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The amendments in this update eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders&amp;#8217; equity and will require them to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The single statement format would include the traditional income statement and the components and total other comprehensive income as well as total comprehensive income. In the two statement approach, the first statement would be the traditional income statement which would immediately be followed by a separate statement which includes the components of other comprehensive income, total other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income. The amendments in this update were effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial position or results of operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Amendments to Achieve Common&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to amend ASC Topic 820, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Fair Value Measurement&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The amendments in this update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and IFRS. Some of the amendments clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and others change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Many of the previous fair value requirements are not changed by this standard. The amendments in this update were effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial position or results of operations.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</NonNumbericText><FootnoteIndexer /><CurrencyCode /><CurrencySymbol /><IsIndependantCurrency>false</IsIndependantCurrency><ShowCurrencySymbol>false</ShowCurrencySymbol><DisplayDateInUSFormat>false</DisplayDateInUSFormat></Cell></Cells><ElementDataType>nonnum:textBlockItemType</ElementDataType><SimpleDataType>na</SimpleDataType><ElementDefenition>The entire disclosure for organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure.</ElementDefenition><ElementReferences>Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef
