Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yadkin Financial Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Yadkin Bank (the "Bank"). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Because the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included with the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2012 Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2013. Operating results, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the year or other interim periods.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments, all of which are normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The accounting policies followed are set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K.

Reclassifications - Certain expenses reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. Reclassifications include certain loan collection and occupancy expenses that were previously recorded in other expenses that have now been reclassified to loan collection fees and occupancy expense.

Effective May 28, 2013, the Company executed a one-for-three reverse stock split. All outstanding options and restricted shares and earnings per share calculations have been adjusted for the effect of this reverse stock split. For additional information related to the reverse stock split, see Note 16, Other Events.

The reclassifications above had no effect on net income or shareholders' equity, as previously reported.
