Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and provisions for credit losses considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

NewBridge Bancorp (“Bancorp” or the “Company”) is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of North Carolina (“NC”) and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). Bancorp’s principal asset is the stock of its banking subsidiary, NewBridge Bank (the “Bank”). Accordingly, throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there are frequent references to the Bank.

Through its branch network, the Bank provides a wide range of banking products to individuals, small to medium-sized businesses and other organizations in its market areas, including interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing checking accounts, certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts, overdraft protection, personal and corporate trust services, safe deposit boxes, online banking, corporate cash management, brokerage, financial planning and asset management, mortgage loans and secured and unsecured loans.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other relevant information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 22, 2012 (SEC File No. 000-11448) (the “Annual Report”). This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This Update establishes common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and IFRS through changes in the description and disclosure of fair value measurements, clarification about the application of existing requirements, and changes to particular principles for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about those measurements. This guidance became effective during the first interim period beginning after December 15, 2011. The application of this Update did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This Update requires companies to present the total comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Presentation of comprehensive income in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity is no longer acceptable. This Update does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income net or before related tax effects, or how earnings per share is calculated or presented. This Update became effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted the new disclosure requirements in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012.

Reclassification

Certain items for 2011 have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income, total assets or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Note 2 — Nonrecurring Adjustments

Occupancy expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes $1.0 million in adjustments for impairments on facilities. Other expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes $0.9 million in adjustments for various nonrecurring accruals.

Note 3 — Net Income Per Share

Basic and diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or warrants were exercised, or restricted stock vested, resulting in the issuance of common stock sharing in the net income of the Company. A summary of basic and diluted net income per share follows (in thousands, except per share data):

	For the three months ended September 30					For the nine months ended September 30
	2012			2011		2012			2011
Basic:
Net income (loss) available to common shareholders	$	(33,179	)	$	353	$	(32,206	)	$	1,047
Weighted average shares outstanding		15,655,868			15,655,868		15,655,868			15,655,868
Net income (loss) per share, basic	$	(2.12	)	$	0.02	$	(2.06	)		0.07
Diluted:
Net income (loss) available to common shareholders	$	(33,179	)	$	353	$	(32,206	)	$	1,047
Weighted average shares outstanding		15,655,868			15,655,868		15,655,868			15,655,868
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options		-			-		-			-
Restricted stock units		-			10,218		-			9,484
Warrant		-			801,464		-			893,510
Weighted average shares outstanding and dilutive potential shares outstanding		15,655,868			16,467,550		15,655,868			16,558,862
Net income (loss) per share, diluted	$	(2.12	)	$	0.02	$	(2.06	)	$	0.06

The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share for the 2012 periods excludes the effect of normally dilutive restricted stock units of 50,472 and warrant of 791,539 for the three months and 33,054 and 732,867, respectively, for the nine months as these are antidilutive due to the net loss reported in these periods.

All securities were classified as available for sale as of each date presented.

During 2012, the Company’s investment strategy has focused on corporate bonds in order to take advantage of higher yield potential compared to other available investment alternatives and to supplement earning asset growth. Accordingly, the balance of corporate bond investments has increased notably during the period. All corporate bond investments are investment grade, as determined by S&P and Moody’s credit ratings.

Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in cost.

As of September 30, 2012, management does not intend to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale in the table above which have unrealized losses and believes that it is not likely that we will have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost given the current liquidity position. The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe such securities are other-than-temporarily impaired due to reasons of credit quality.

Investment securities with an amortized cost of $94,642,000 and $79,211,000, as of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes. The Bank has obtained $50,000,000 in letters of credit, which are used in lieu of securities to pledge against public deposits.

During the first nine months of 2012, the Company sold $6,721,000 of investments for a gain of $3,000. During the first nine months of 2011, the Company sold $39,209,000 of investments for a gain of $2,026,000. The investments sold by the Company in 2011 consisted of shorter-duration, odd-lot mortgage backed securities and certain corporate bonds.

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more, certain restructured loans, and real estate acquired in settlement of loans. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when: (i) management has concerns relating to the ability to collect the loan principal and interest and (ii) generally when such loans are 90 days or more past due. No assurance can be given, however, that economic conditions will not adversely affect borrowers and result in increased credit losses.

Commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans have been restructured are not material at September 30, 2012.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were $10.9 million and $15.2 million, respectively, of loans classified as nonperforming troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). A modification of a loan’s terms constitutes a TDR if the creditor grants a concession to the borrower for reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider. For loans classified as TDRs, the Company further evaluates the loans as performing or nonperforming. Nonperforming TDRs originally classified as nonaccrual may be reclassified as accruing if, subsequent to restructure, they experience six consecutive months of payment performance in accordance with the restructured terms. Further, a TDR may be considered performing and subsequently removed from impaired status in years subsequent to the restructuring if it meets the following criteria:

· At the time of restructure, the loan was made at a market rate of interest; and

· The loan has experienced at least six consecutive months of payment performance in accordance with the restructured terms; and

· The loan has been included in the TDR disclosures for at least one Annual Report on Form 10-K

Modifications of terms for loans and their inclusion as TDRs are based on individual facts and circumstances. Loan modifications that are included as TDRs may involve either an increase or reduction of the interest rate, extension of the term of the loan, or deferral or forgiveness of principal payments. The loans included as TDRs at September 30, 2012 had either an interest rate modification or a deferral of one or more principal payments. All loans designated as TDRs were modified due to financial difficulties experienced by the borrower. The Company has $1,296,000 of performing TDRs at September 30, 2012 which meet the above criteria and therefore are excluded from nonperforming status.

The Company monitors the performance of modified loans on an ongoing basis. Loans retain their accrual status at the time of their modification. As a result, if a loan is on nonaccrual at the time it is modified, it stays as nonaccrual, and if a loan is on accrual at the time of the modification, it generally stays on accrual. A modified loan will be reclassified to nonaccrual if the loan becomes 90 days delinquent or other weaknesses are observed which make collection of principal and interest unlikely. A loan on nonaccrual may be reclassified to accrual status following an evaluation and having experienced at least six consecutive months of payment performance in accordance with the restructured terms. Nonperforming TDRs are considered impaired. 

The following table provides information about TDRs identified during the current period (in thousands, except number of contracts):

The Bank’s policy for calculating and assigning specific reserves is applicable to all loans except for large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans such as credit card, residential mortgage and consumer loans in which impairment is collectively evaluated. The Bank generally considers loans 90 days or more past due and all nonaccrual loans to be impaired.

The allowance for credit losses increased $9.8 million in the third quarter of 2012 to $35.0 million. A portion of the increase in reserves was attributed to higher general reserve levels principally for homogenous residential and home equity loans resulting from management’s review of these portfolios and the subsequent identification of pools of high risk performing loans.

Note 6 — Deferred Tax Assets

During the third quarter 2012, the Company recorded material writedowns and losses on the disposition or resolution of problem assets, which resulted in a material pretax net loss for the quarter. The Company is now in a cumulative pretax loss position for the three year period ended September 30, 2012, which constitutes significant negative evidence in the context of evaluating deferred tax assets for realizability as prescribed by ASC Topic 740.

21

ASC Topic 740 requires that the realizability of the deferred tax asset and evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance consider all positive and negative evidence to form a conclusion as to whether the realization of the deferred tax asset is more likely than not. The Company must also assign weight to the various forms of evidence, based upon the ability to verify the evidence.

Management has evaluated the realizability of the recorded deferred tax assets at September 30, 2012. This evaluation included a review of all available evidence, including recent historical financial performance and expected near term levels in net interest margin, nonperforming assets, operating expenses, earnings and other factors. It further included the consideration of the items that have given rise to the deferred tax assets, as well as tax planning strategies. Management has concluded that, in addition to a portion of contribution carryforwards which begin expiring in 2013, and a portion of state economic loss carryforwards, an additional $11.0 million valuation allowance is necessary. Management also concluded that the utilization of the remaining deferred tax asset was more likely than not.

The significant components of deferred tax assets at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands):

	2012			2011
Deferred tax assets:
Allowance for credit losses	$	13,826		$	11,411
Writedowns on real estate acquired in settlement of loans		5,571			1,992
Interest on nonaccrual loans		1,145			1,551

Other		6,725			6,725
Total		12,130			7,044
Net deferred tax assets	$	29,966		$	32,263

Note 7 — Stock Compensation Plans

The Company recorded $86,000 and $104,000 of total stock-based compensation expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. The reduced expense during the current period is primarily due to revised expectations as to the achievement of certain conditions affecting the vesting of outstanding performance-based awards. The stock-based compensation expense is calculated on a ratable basis over the vesting periods of the related stock options, restricted stock grants or restricted stock units and is reported under personnel expense. This expense had no impact on the Company’s reported cash flows. As of September 30, 2012, there was $661,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense. This expense will be fully recognized by December of 2015.

For purposes of determining estimated fair value of stock options, restricted stock grants and restricted stock units, the Company has computed the estimated fair values of all stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, for stock options and restricted stock grants granted prior to December 31, 2011, has applied the assumptions set forth in the Annual Report.

22

On January 11, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors awarded a total of 121,616 restricted stock units to certain executive officers. The fair value of these restricted stock units is $3.89 per unit, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on that date. On July 25, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors awarded an additional 9,710 restricted stock units to certain executive officers. The fair value of these restricted stock units is $4.10 per unit, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on that date. Half of the restricted stock units vest over a period of four years and half vest, subject to meeting certain performance criteria, over a period of three years. Vesting is also subject to the Company repurchasing, or the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) selling, some or all of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) issued by the U.S. Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP). The stock-based compensation expense for these awards was immaterial for the first nine months of 2012.

Note 8 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value for each class of the Company’s financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks approximate fair value because of the short maturities of those instruments.

Investment securities. The fair value of investment securities is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities, corresponding to the “significant other observable inputs” definition of GAAP. If a quoted market price for a similar security is not available, fair value is estimated using “significant unobservable inputs” as defined by GAAP. The fair value of equity investments in the restricted stock of the FHLB equals the carrying value as there is no market for FHLB stock which is redeemable only by the FHLB.

Loans. The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Substantially all residential mortgage loans held for sale are pre-sold and their carrying value approximates fair value. The fair value of variable rate loans with frequent repricing and negligible credit risk approximates book value.

Deposits. The fair value of noninterest-bearing demand deposits and NOW, savings, and money market deposits are the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal funds purchased and retail repurchase agreements. The carrying value of federal funds purchased and retail repurchase agreements are considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Wholesale repurchase agreements and other borrowings. The fair values of these liabilities are estimated using the discounted values of the contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently in effect for similar borrowings.

Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. The carrying value of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk is considered to approximate fair value, since a large majority of these future financing commitments would result in loans that have variable rates and/or relatively short terms to maturity. For other commitments, generally of a short-term nature, the carrying value is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The various financial instruments are disclosed in Note 16 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Annual Report.

23

The table below presents the estimated fair values of financial instruments as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

			Estimated Fair Value

FHLB borrowings		86,700		-		87,911		-		87,911

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

Impaired loans, net of allowance at September 30, 2012		-		-		20,341
Impaired loans, net of allowance at December 31, 2011		-		-		28,425

The fair value of loans secured by real estate is determined by appraisals or by alternative evaluations, such as tax evaluations. The fair value of loans not secured by real estate is based on present value of future cash flows. The fair value of loans may also be determined by sales contract in hand or settlement agreement.

Note 9 — U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program (CPP)

On December 12, 2008, the Company issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury (i) 52,372 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2,567,255 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.06 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $52,372,000 in cash. The Warrant may be exercised by the U.S. Treasury at any time before it expires on December 12, 2018. The fair value of the Warrant of $1,497,000 was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Series A Preferred Stock pays cumulative dividends of five percent for the first five years and nine percent thereafter, unless the Company redeems the shares.

Note 10 — Subsequent Events

On November 1, 2012, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with select investors and insiders pursuant to which it expects to raise $56 million of equity, subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals and determinations. The capital raise will be executed through a private placement of two series of mandatorily convertible preferred stock. The two series of preferred stock will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s voting and nonvoting common stock at a price of $4.40 per share after the Company has received shareholder approval at a Special Meeting of Shareholders expected to be held in the first quarter of 2013.

Introduction

Bancorp is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of North Carolina (“NC”) and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”). Bancorp’s principal asset is the stock of its banking subsidiary, the Bank.

The Company’s results of operations are dependent primarily on the results of operations of the Bank and thus are dependent to a significant extent on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on the Bank’s loan and investment portfolios and cost of funds, consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by the Company’s provision for credit losses, mortgage loan sales activities, service charges and other fee income, and noninterest expense. The Company’s noninterest expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, professional fees, and advertising and business promotion expenses. The Company’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

Commercial banking in North Carolina is extremely competitive, due in large part to intrastate and interstate branching laws. Many of the Company’s competitors are significantly larger and have greater resources. The Company continues to encounter significant competition from a number of sources, including bank holding companies, financial holding companies, commercial banks, thrift institutions, credit unions and other financial institutions and financial intermediaries. The Company competes in its market areas with some of the largest banking organizations in the Southeast and nationally, almost all of which have numerous branches in NC. The Company’s competition is not limited to financial institutions based in NC. The enactment of federal legislation authorizing nationwide interstate banking has greatly increased the size and financial resources of some of the Company’s competitors. Many of its competitors have substantially higher lending limits due to their greater total capitalization, and many perform functions for their customers that the Company generally does not offer. The Company primarily relies on providing quality products and services at a competitive price within its market areas. As a result of interstate banking legislation, the Company’s market is open to future penetration by banks located in other states.

The following discussion and analysis is presented on a consolidated basis and focuses on the major components of the Company’s operations and significant changes in its results of operations for the periods presented. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiary comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to standards within the banking industry. The preparation of the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. A summary of the allowance for credit losses, the most complex and subjective accounting policy of the Company, is discussed under the heading “Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses” as well as in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Income taxes and the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets are discussed in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2012, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $15.8 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 5.6%, from $16.7 million for the third quarter of 2011. Average earning assets in the third quarter of 2012 decreased $18.7 million, or 1.2%, to $1.56 billion, compared to $1.58 billion in the third quarter of 2011. Average interest-bearing liabilities in the third quarter of 2012 decreased $36.4 million, or 2.6%, to $1.34 billion, compared to $1.37 billion in the third quarter of 2011. Taxable equivalent net interest margin decreased to 4.02% for the third quarter of 2012, compared to 4.20% for the third quarter of 2011. The interest rate spread decreased in the third quarter of 2012 by 14 basis points compared to the third quarter of 2011.

The decrease in net interest margin and interest rate spread was driven primarily by an overall lower yield on the investment portfolio and a lower yield on the loan portfolio, partially offset by a lower cost of funds rate. The par value of the Company’s investment in U.S. government agency securities decreased to $37.0 million at September 30, 2012 from $48.0 million at September, 30, 2011 due to calls on higher yielding securities. At September 30, 2012, the par value of the Company’s investment in corporate bonds was $150.8 million compared to $110.8 million at September 30, 2011. The weighted average duration of the Company’s investment securities was 2.9 years at September 30, 2012, compared to 3.4 years at September 30, 2011. The sustained low interest rate environment continues to impact loan yields. The annualized average yield on loans decreased to 4.81% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 5.18% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The average yield on earning assets during the third quarter of 2012 was 47 basis points lower than the average yield on earning assets during the comparable period in 2011, while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 33 basis points during the same time period. The highest cost category of deposits remains retail time deposits, which had a weighted average interest rate of 0.64% at September 30 2012. Approximately $94.9 million of retail time deposits with a weighted average rate of 0.46% will mature in the fourth quarter of 2012. The following table provides an analysis of average volumes, yields and rates and net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Noninterest Income and Expense

In the third quarter of 2012, noninterest income decreased to $(6.4) million, from $3.3 million during the same period in 2011. Writedowns and losses on sales of real estate acquired in settlement of loans increased to $10.6 million, from $0.8 million during the same period last year as the Company made significant progress with the asset disposition plan. See “Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses” for further discussion of this plan. The Company recognized gains on the sale of investment securities of $3,000 during the third quarter of 2012, compared to $65,000 during the third quarter of 2011. Retail Banking income decreased 6.1% to $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2012 from $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 due primarily to ongoing regulatory changes in the industry and changes in consumer behavior. Mortgage Banking revenue increased to $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2011, due to higher volume of mortgage originations.

In the third quarter of 2012, noninterest expense increased to $16.5 million from $14.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company expensed $1.9 million in adjustments for impairments on facilities and for other nonrecurring accruals. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance expense decreased to $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2012 from $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2011. In the third quarter of 2011, the Bank received a new risk rating which reduced the Bank’s assessments. Compared to the third quarter of 2011, the Company recorded decreases in personnel expense and furniture and equipment expense during the third quarter of 2012 as a result of the Company’s continued focus on efficiency and a disciplined cost management culture.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax benefit of $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to income tax expense of $501,000 for the third quarter of 2011. The Company’s effective tax rate was 10.2% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to 31.6% for the third quarter of 2011. The change in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of an increase of $11.0 million in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in 2012.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first nine months of 2012, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $48.5 million, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 4.6%, from $50.8 million for the first nine months of 2011. Average earning assets in the first nine months of 2012 decreased $39.9 million, or 2.5%, to $1.58 billion, compared to $1.62 billion in the first nine months of 2011. Average interest-bearing liabilities in the first nine months of 2012 decreased $63.5 million, or 4.5%, to $1.35 billion, compared to $1.41 billion in the first nine months of 2011. Taxable equivalent net interest margin decreased to 4.11% for the nine months of 2012, compared to 4.21% for the first nine months of 2011, a decrease of 10 basis points. The interest rate spread decreased in the first nine months of 2012 by six basis points compared to the first nine months of 2011.

30

The decrease in net interest margin and interest rate spread was driven primarily by an overall lower yield on the investment portfolio and a lower yield on the loan portfolio, partially offset by a lower cost of funds rate. The par value of the Company’s investment in U.S. government agency securities decreased to $37.0 million at September 30, 2012 from $48.0 million at September 30, 2011 due to calls on higher yielding securities. At September 30, 2012, the par value of the Company’s investment in corporate bonds was $150.8 million compared to $110.8 million at September 30, 2011. The weighted average duration of the Company’s investment securities was 2.9 years at September 30, 2012, compared to 3.4 years at September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the annualized average yield on loans decreased to 4.95% from 5.19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The net interest margin is also impacted by changes in interest income from nonaccrual loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, nonaccrual interest decreased the net interest margin by nine basis points compared to 11 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The average yield on earning assets during the first nine months of 2012 was 39 basis points lower than the average yield on earning assets during the comparable period in 2011, while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 33 basis points during the same time period. The following table provides an analysis of average volumes, yields and rates and net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Noninterest Income and Expense

In the first nine months of 2012, noninterest income decreased to $(2.4) million, from $10.2 million during the same period in 2011. Writedowns and losses on sales of real estate acquired in settlement of loans increased to $14.6 million, from $3.9 million during the same period last year as the Company made significant progress with the asset disposition plan. See “Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses” for further discussion of this plan. The Company recognized gains on the sale of investment securities of $3,000 during the first nine months of 2012, compared to $2.0 million during the first nine months of 2011. Retail Banking income decreased 8.3% to $6.9 million in the first nine months of 2012 from $7.5 million in the first nine months of 2011 due primarily to ongoing regulatory changes in the industry and changes in consumer behavior. Mortgage Banking revenue increased to $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2012, compared to $1.1 million in the first nine months of 2011, due to higher volume of mortgage originations.

In the first nine months of 2012, noninterest expense was $43.9 million, the same as for the first nine months of 2011. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company expensed $1.9 million in adjustments for impairments on facilities and for other nonrecurring accruals. FDIC insurance expense decreased to $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2012 from $2.0 million in the first nine months of 2011. On February 7, 2011, the FDIC adopted a new assessment formula, which became effective in the second quarter of 2011. The application of the new assessment formula had the effect of reducing the Bank’s assessments. In the third quarter of 2011, the Bank received a new risk rating which further reduced the Bank’s assessments. Compared to the first nine months of 2011, the Company recorded decreases in personnel expense and furniture and equipment expense during the first nine months of 2012 as a result of the Company’s continued focus on efficiency and a disciplined cost management culture.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax benefit of $2.8 million for the first nine months of 2012, compared to income tax expense of $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2011. The Company’s effective tax rate was 8.5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to 25.8% for the first nine months of 2011. The change in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of an increase of $11.0 million in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in 2012.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company’s allowance for credit losses, which is utilized to absorb actual losses in the loan portfolio, is analyzed monthly by management. This analysis includes a methodology that segments the loan portfolio into risk graded loans and homogeneous loan classifications and considers the current status of the portfolio, historical chargeoff experience, current levels of delinquent, impaired and nonperforming loans and their underlying collateral values, as well as economic and other risk factors. It is also subject to regulatory examinations and determinations as to adequacy, which may take into account such factors as the methodology employed and other analytical measures in comparison to a group of peer banks. The Bank, like many financial institutions, has recently faced a challenging credit environment and could continue to face similar challenges in the coming months unless there is a significant improvement in regional and national economic conditions. The majority of the Bank’s loan portfolio is comprised of loans secured by real estate and is therefore subject to risk as a result of the weak real estate market. No assurances can be given that future economic conditions will not adversely affect borrowers and result in increases in credit losses and nonperforming asset levels.

The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level consistent with management’s best estimate of probable credit losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. Major loan portfolio subgroups include: risk graded commercial loans, mortgage loans, home equity loans, retail loans and retail credit lines. Management analyzes loans in the portfolio on an ongoing basis to evaluate current risk levels, and risk grades are adjusted accordingly. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments may be needed if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used. The allowance for credit losses increased $9.8 million in the third quarter of 2012 to $35.0 million. A portion of the increase in reserves was attributed to higher general reserve levels principally for homogenous residential and home equity loans resulting from management’s review of these portfolios and the subsequent identification of pools of high risk performing loans.

In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2012, the Company disclosed that a Plan was being developed to accelerate the work-out and disposition of a substantial portion of remaining problem assets. During the third quarter, the Plan was developed with management committing to the execution of an internally managed asset disposition plan, rather than a bulk sale.

Using March 31, 2012 problem asset levels, management established the following goals:

· Nonperforming Loans – Reduce by $20.0 million to $23.7 million

· Performing Classified Loans – Reduce by $26.0 million to $49.3 million

· Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans (“OREO”) – Reduce by $25.0 million to $5.0 million

· Total Classified Assets – Reduce by $71.0 million to $78.0 million

· Classified Assets – Reduce to 45.00% of Tier 1 capital plus reserves

· Nonperforming Assets – Reduce to 2.00% or less of total assets

As of September 30, 2012, by various methods, including loan sale, asset sale, short refinancing, foreclosure, and chargeoff, the Bank has executed the plan to substantial completion. As of September 30, total problem assets have been reduced by approximately $64.0 million from the March 31, 2012 levels as follows:

· Nonperforming Loans – Reduced by $16.0 million to $27.7 million

· Performing Classified Loans – Reduced by $28.5 million to $46.8 million

· OREO – Reduced by $19.5 million to $10.5 million

· Total Classified Assets – Reduced by $64.0 million to $85.0 million

· Classified Assets – Reduced to 48.10% of Tier 1 capital plus reserves

· Nonperforming Assets – Reduced to 2.23% of total assets

34

At September 30, 2012, loans with a carrying value of $9.1 million, after writedowns, are under contract to sell, or the Bank has received a letter of intent or similar non-binding agreement to sell the loans. These loans have not been classified as held for sale in the balance sheet as their future sale is not in the normal course of business and the sales are not imminent.

The results achieved through this asset disposition plan are reflected in the amounts reported for September 30, 2012 and for the periods then ended and are the principal reasons for changes from prior period amounts.

At September 30, 2012, the allowance for credit losses was $35.0 million, or 3.00% of total loans outstanding, compared to $28.8 million, or 2.40% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2011, and $27.8 million, or 2.28% of loans outstanding, at September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2012, the allowance for credit losses was 126.44% of nonperforming loans compared to 71.16% at December 31, 2011, and 63.85% at September 30, 2011. Based on its analysis of the current loan portfolio and levels of current problem assets and potential problem loans, management believes the allowance for credit losses to be adequate. Additional information regarding the allowance for credit losses is presented in the table headed “Asset Quality Analysis” on the following page.

Nonperforming loans totaled $27.7 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $40.5 million at December 31, 2011 and $43.5 million at September 30, 2011. OREO was $10.5 million at September 30, 2012, $30.6 million at December 31, 2011, and $26.5 million at September 30, 2011. Approximately $7.4 million was transferred from loans into OREO, and approximately $16.6 million of OREO was disposed of during the first nine months of 2012. A net loss of $14.6 million has been recorded on the disposition and writedown of OREO in the current year through September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of $3.9 million in the first nine months of 2011. At September 30, 2012 the OREO balance of $10.5 million is net of accumulated writedowns of $12.8 million. The Company recorded $1.0 million of additional expenses on OREO during the first nine months of 2012, compared to $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2011. Nonperforming assets (comprised of nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days past due and still accruing, certain restructured loans and OREO) totaled $38.2 million, or 2.23% of total assets, at September 30, 2012, compared to $71.1 million, or 4.10% of total assets, at December 31, 2011 and $69.9 million, or 4.11% of total assets, a year ago.

Classified assets are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

The Bank is well within the regulatory commercial real estate high concentration guidelines in land acquisition, development and construction (the “AD&C portfolio”) loans, as well as total commercial real estate loans. At September 30, 2012, the Bank’s concentration levels were 39.61% and 178.96%, respectively, of total regulatory capital, which compares favorably to the interagency regulatory guidance maximum concentrations of 100% and 300%, respectively. The AD&C portfolio totaled $63 million at September 30, 2012, including $23 million of speculative residential construction and residential acquisition and development. This portfolio is largely graded as classified loans.

35

The provision for credit losses charged to operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $28.9 million, compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Net chargeoffs for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $19.1 million, or 6.52% of average loans held for investment on an annualized basis, compared to net chargeoffs of $3.7 million, or 1.20% of average loans held for investment on an annualized basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

The provision for credit losses charged to operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $34.7 million, compared to $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Net chargeoffs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $28.5 million, or 3.23% of average loans held for investment on an annualized basis, compared to net chargeoffs of $13.5 million, or 1.40% of average loans held for investment on an annualized basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity management refers to the policies and practices that ensure the Company has the ability to meet day-to-day cash flow requirements based primarily on activity in loan and deposit accounts of the Bank’s customers. Deposit withdrawals, loan funding and general corporate activity create the primary needs for liquidity for the Bank. Liquidity is derived from sources such as deposit growth; maturity, calls or sales of investment securities; principal and interest payments on loans; access to borrowed funds or lines of credit; and profits.

During the first nine months of 2012, the Company had net cash provided by operating activities of $19.4 million, compared to $98.8 million of net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2011. The decrease was primarily the result of the Company’s sale of $73.0 million of loans in connection with the sale of its Harrisonburg, Virginia operations in May 2011. In addition, there was a gain on the sale of securities of $2.0 million during the first nine months of 2011.

Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2012 was $30.3 million, compared to net cash provided by investing activities in the first nine months of 2011 of $50.1 million. This change is primarily attributable to purchases of securities available for sale of $170.7 million during the first nine months of 2012, compared to $86.4 million in purchases during the same period last year. Proceeds from securities sales, maturities and calls were $134.5 million during the first nine months of 2012, compared to $114.3 million during the first nine months of 2011. During the first nine months of 2012, there was an increase in loans of $4.6 million compared to a decrease in loans of $15.1 million during the same period last year.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, financing activities used $300,000, compared to net cash used by financing activities of $113.9 million during the same period of 2011. The change was primarily the result of a decrease in time deposits of $13.6 million during the first nine months of 2012, compared to a decrease of $94.3 million in time deposits during the first nine months of 2011.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $42.7 million at September 30, 2012, compared to $54.0 million at December 31, 2011 and $64.0 million at September 30, 2011.

The Bank has borrowing capacity of approximately $255.6 million with the FHLB, of which approximately $88.4 million was available at September 30, 2012. These borrowings are collateralized by FHLB stock, investment securities, qualifying residential 1 to 4 family first mortgage loans, qualifying multifamily first mortgage loans, qualifying commercial real estate loans, and qualifying home equity lines of credit and second mortgage loans. The Bank provides various reports to the FHLB on a regular basis to maintain the availability of the credit line. Each borrowing request to the FHLB is initiated through an advance application that is subject to approval by the FHLB before funds are advanced under the line of credit. The Bank also has $8 million of borrowing capacity through the Federal Reserve Bank System, of which none was used as of September 30, 2012. The line with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“Federal Reserve Bank”) is collateralized using investment securities and qualified loans. In addition, the Bank has $25.0 million in unsecured, overnight Federal Funds lines with correspondent banks.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Interest rate risk management is a part of the Company’s overall asset/liability management process. The primary oversight of asset/liability management rests with the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee, which is comprised of the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and other senior executives. The Committee meets on a monthly basis to review the asset/liability management activities of the Bank and monitor compliance with established policies. Activities of the Asset and Liability Committee are reported to the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Company and the Bank.

39

A primary objective of interest rate risk management is to ensure the stability and quality of the Company’s primary earnings component, net interest income. This process involves monitoring the Company’s balance sheet in order to determine the potential impact that changes in the interest rate environment may have on net interest income. Rate sensitive assets and liabilities have interest rates that are subject to change within a specific time period, due to either maturity or to contractual agreements which allow the instruments to reprice prior to maturity. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to ensure that both assets and liabilities react to changes in interest rates within a similar time period, thereby minimizing the risk to net interest income.

The Company uses several interest rate risk measurement tools provided by a national asset liability management consultant to help manage this risk. The Company’s Asset/Liability policy provides guidance for acceptable levels of interest rate risk and potential remediations. Management provides the consultant with key assumptions, which are used as inputs into the measurement tools. The Company has not experienced any material changes in interest rate risk since the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

The following table summarizes the results of the Company’s income simulation model as of June 30, 2012, the most currently available review date.

	Change in Net Interest Income
	Year 1			Year 2
Change in Market Interest Rates:
200 basis point ramped increase		.33	%		(2.41	)%
Base case – no change		-			(2.55	)%
100 basis point ramped decrease		.30	%		(3.90	)%

Capital Resources and Shareholders’ Equity

Pursuant to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”), on December 12, 2008, the Company issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury (i) 52,372 shares of Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2,567,255 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $5.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $52,372,000 in cash. The Securities Purchase Agreement grants the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant and the common stock of the Company to be issued under the Warrant, certain registration rights, and subjects the Company to certain of the executive compensation limitations included in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and related regulations. The Bank is currently restricted from paying dividends to the Company unless it receives advance approval from the FDIC and the N. C. Commissioner of Banks (“Commissioner”).

The Company did not repurchase any of its equity securities during 2011 or the first three quarters of 2012.

Banks and bank holding companies, as regulated institutions, must meet required levels of capital. The Commissioner, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, which are the primary banking regulatory agencies for the Bank and the Company, have adopted minimum capital regulations or guidelines that categorize components and the level of risk associated with various types of assets. Financial institutions are required to maintain a level of capital commensurate with the risk profile assigned to their assets in accordance with the regulatory guidelines.

As shown in the accompanying table, the Company and the Bank have capital levels exceeding the minimum levels for “well capitalized” banks and bank holding companies as of September 30, 2012.

40

	Regulatory Capital
	Well Capitalized			Adequately Capitalized			Company			Bank
Total Capital		10.0	%		8.0	%		12.07	%		11.93	%
Tier 1 Capital		6.0			4.0			10.78			10.63
Leverage Capital		5.0			4.0			8.53			8.43

The Company holds $2.5 million of the $52.4 million received from the U.S. Treasury under the CPP, which may be invested in the Bank to increase the Bank’s total risk based capital percentage from the present level of 11.93%.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the possible chance of loss from unfavorable changes in market prices and rates. These changes may result in a reduction of future period net interest income or other comprehensive income.

The Company considers interest rate risk to be its most significant market risk, which is discussed under the heading “Interest Rate Risk Management” on page 39.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company’s management, including its CEO, CFO and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2012. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO, CFO and CAO each concluded that as of September 30, 2012, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company maintained effective disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
