Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(
unaudited)
|
For the Periods Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015
|
|
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as
of March 31, 2016 and 2015 and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the periods ended March 31,
2016 and 2015. All such adjustments were of a normal, recurring nature. Reference is made to the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC for a discussion of accounting policies and other relevant information with respect to the financial statements.
The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
Note 2 – Accounting Policies
Note 1 to the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC
contains a description of the accounting policies followed by the Company and discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. The
following paragraphs update that information as necessary.
In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies that performance
targets associated with stock compensation should be treated as a performance condition and should not be reflected in the grant
date fair value of the stock award. The amendments were effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. The Company will apply the
guidance to all stock awards granted or modified after January 1, 2016. The Company’s adoption of these amendments did not
have a material effect on its financial statements.
In January 2015, the FASB issued guidance to eliminate from U.S.
GAAP the concept of an extraordinary item, which is an event or transaction that is both (1) unusual in nature and (2) infrequently
occurring. Under the new guidance, an entity will no longer (1) segregate an extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations;
(2) separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations; or (3)
disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. The amendments were effective for the Company
on January 1, 2016, and did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance which amends the consolidation
requirements and significantly changes the consolidation analysis required under U.S. GAAP. The amendments were expected to result
in the deconsolidation of many entities. The amendments were effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. The adoption of these
amendments did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that will require debt issuance
costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount
of that debt liability. This update affects disclosures related to debt issuance costs but does not affect existing recognition
and measurement guidance for these items. The amendments were effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. The Company’s
adoption of these amendments did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance which provides a practical
expedient that permits the Company to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to
the Company’s fiscal year-end. The amendments were effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. The Company’s adoption
of these amendments did not have a material effect on its financial statements.
In June 2015, the FASB issued amendments to clarify the Accounting
Standards Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, and make minor improvements that are not expected to have a
significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The amendments
were effective upon issuance (June 12, 2015) for amendments that do not have transition guidance. Amendments that were subject
to transition guidance were effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material
effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on
accounting for leases, which generally requires all leases to be recognized in the statement of financial position. The
provisions of this guidance are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is
permitted. These provisions are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the effect
that this new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, but does not expect it will have a material
effect on its financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB amended the Liabilities topic of the Accounting
Standards Codification to address the current and potential future diversity in practice related to the derecognition of a prepaid
stored-value product liability. The amendments will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will apply the guidance using a modified retrospective
transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which
the guidance is effective to each period presented. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its
financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB amended the Investments—Equity Method
and Joint Ventures topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to eliminate the requirement to retroactively adopt the equity
method of accounting. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after
December 15, 2016. The Company will apply the guidance prospectively upon their effective date to increases in the level of ownership
interest or degree of influence that result in the adoption of the equity method. The Company does not expect these amendments
to have a material effect on its financial statements
In March 2016, the FASB amended the Revenue from Contracts with Customers
topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations
and address how an entity should assess whether it is the principal or the agent in contracts that include three or more parties.
The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does
not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance to simplify several aspects
of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including the income tax consequences, the classification of awards
as either equity or liabilities, and the classification on the statement of cash flows. Additionally, the guidance simplifies two
areas specific to entities other than public business entities allowing them apply a practical expedient to estimate the expected
term for all awards with performance or service conditions that have certain characteristics and also allowing them to make a one-time
election to switch from measuring all liability-classified awards at fair value to measuring them at intrinsic value. The amendments
will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual
periods. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.
In April 2016, the FASB amended the Revenue from Contracts with Customers
topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to clarify the guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing.
The amendments will be effective for the Company for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not
expect these amendments to have a material effect on its 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 or cash flows.
Note 3 – Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported in the period ended March 31, 2015 have
been reclassified to conform to the presentation for March 31, 2016. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’
equity for the periods presented, nor did they materially impact trends in financial information.
Note 4 – Equity-Based Compensation Plans
The Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $123,000
and $127,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Stock based compensation is reflected as an adjustment
to cash flows from operating activities on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company recognized $48,000
and $50,000 of income tax benefits related to stock based compensation expense in the income statement for the three months ended
March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
At March 31, 2016, the Company had the following equity-based compensation
plans: the First Bancorp 2014 Equity Plan, the First Bancorp 2007 Equity Plan, and the First Bancorp 2004 Stock Option Plan. The
Company’s shareholders approved all equity-based compensation plans. The First Bancorp 2014 Equity Plan became effective
upon the approval of shareholders on May 8, 2014. As of March 31, 2016, the First Bancorp 2014 Equity Plan was the only plan that
had shares available for future grants, and there were 888,381 shares remaining available for grant.
The First Bancorp 2014 Equity Plan is intended to serve as a means
to attract, retain and motivate key employees and directors and to associate the interests of the plans’ participants with
those of the Company and its shareholders. The First Bancorp 2014 Equity Plan allows for both grants of stock options and other
types of equity-based compensation, including stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted performance stock, unrestricted
stock, and performance units.
Recent equity grants to employees have either had performance vesting
conditions, service vesting conditions, or both. Compensation expense for these grants is recorded over the various service periods
based on the estimated number of equity grants that are probable to vest. No compensation cost is recognized for grants that do
not vest and any previously recognized compensation cost will be reversed. The Company issues new shares of common stock when options
are exercised.
Certain of the Company’s stock option grants contain terms
that provide for a graded vesting schedule whereby portions of the award vest in increments over the requisite service period.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for awards with graded vesting schedules on a straight-line basis over the requisite
service period for each incremental award. Compensation expense is based on the estimated number of stock options and awards that
will ultimately vest. Over the past five years, there have only been minimal amounts of forfeitures, and therefore the Company
assumes that all awards granted without performance conditions will become vested.
As it relates to director equity grants, the Company grants common
shares, valued at approximately $16,000 to each non-employee director (currently eight in total) in June of each year. Compensation
expense associated with these director grants is recognized on the date of grant since there are no vesting conditions.
Based on the Company’s performance in 2013, the Company granted
long-term restricted shares of common stock to the chief executive officer on February 11, 2014 with a two-year vesting period.
The total compensation expense associated with the grant was $278,200. The Company recorded $23,200 in compensation expense related
to this grant during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
In 2014, the Company’s Compensation Committee determined that
seven of the Company’s senior officers would receive their annual bonus earned under the Company’s annual incentive
plan in a mix of 50% cash and 50% stock, with the stock being subject to a three year vesting term. Previously, awards under this
plan were paid all in cash. This resulted in the Company granting a total of 14,882 shares of restricted common stock to those
officers on February 24, 2015. The total compensation expense associated with this grant was $258,000, which is being recorded
over the vesting period. The Company recorded $11,200 and $23,300 in compensation expense during the three months ended March 31,
2016 and 2015, respectively, related to these grants and expects to record $11,200 in compensation expense during each remaining
quarter of 2016.
In 2015, additional stock grants of 50,736 shares were made to 19
officers of the Company, each with three year vesting schedules. The total value of these grants amounted to $876,000, of which
$65,700 and $80,500 was recorded as compensation expense during the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Grants were
issued based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.
On February 23, 2016, the Company granted a total of 26,032 shares
of restricted common stock to eleven senior officers for the attainment of goals related to the Company’s annual incentive
plan in 2015. The total compensation expense with the grant was $484,000, which is being recorded over the three-year vesting period.
The Company recorded $43,700 in compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to these grants, and
expects to record $43,700 in each remaining quarter of 2016.
On March 1, 2016, the Company granted 5,266 shares of restricted
common stock to an officer with a three year vesting period. Total compensation expense associated with the grant was $100,000.
The Company recorded $3,000 in compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and expects to record $8,000
in each remaining quarter of 2016.
Under the terms of the predecessor plans and the First Bancorp 2014
Equity Plan, stock options can have a term of no longer than ten years. In a change in control (as defined in the plans), unless
the awards remain outstanding or substitute equivalent awards are provided, the awards become immediately vested.
At March 31, 2016, there were 109,448 stock options outstanding related
to the three First Bancorp plans, with exercise prices ranging from $14.35 to $21.83.
The following table presents information regarding the activity for

Note 5 – Earnings Per Common Share
Basic Earnings Per Common Share is calculated by dividing net income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, with nonvested
restricted stock excluded from the calculation. Diluted Earnings Per Common Share is computed by assuming the issuance of common
shares for all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The Company’s potentially dilutive
common stock issuances relate to stock option and nonvested restricted stock grants under the Company’s equity-based compensation
plans and the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock, which is convertible into common stock on a one-for-one ratio.
In computing Diluted Earnings Per Common Share, adjustments are made
to the computation of Basic Earnings Per Common shares, as follows. As it relates to stock options, it is assumed that all dilutive
stock options are exercised during the reporting period at their respective exercise prices, with the proceeds from the exercises
used by the Company to buy back stock in the open market at the average market price in effect during the reporting period. The
difference between the number of shares assumed to be exercised and the number of shares bought back is included in the calculation
of dilutive securities. As it relates to nonvested restricted stock, proceeds equal to the average amount of compensation cost
attributable to future services and not yet recognized in earnings are assumed to be used by the Company to buy back stock in the
open market and are deducted from the total number of nonvested restricted stock that is included in the denominator of the calculation.
As it relates to the Series C Preferred Stock, it is assumed that the preferred stock was converted to common stock during the
reporting period. Dividends on the preferred stock are added back to net income and the shares assumed to be converted are included
in the number of shares outstanding.
If any of the potentially dilutive common stock issuances have an
anti-dilutive effect, the potentially dilutive common stock issuance is disregarded.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators
used in computing Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share:

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, there were 50,000 options and 84,000 options, respectively, that were antidilutive
because the exercise price exceeded the average market price for the period, and thus are not included in the calculation to determine
the effect of dilutive securities.

In the above tables, all of the non-equity securities that were in
an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are bonds that the Company has determined are in a loss position
due primarily to interest rate factors and not credit quality concerns. The Company has evaluated the collectability of each of
these bonds and has concluded that there is no other-than-temporary impairment. The Company does not intend to sell these securities,
and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized
cost.
The Company has also concluded that each of the equity securities
in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was in such a position due to temporary fluctuations in
the market prices of the securities. The Company’s policy is to record an impairment charge for any of these equity securities
that remains in an unrealized loss position for twelve consecutive months unless the amount is insignificant.
The book values and approximate fair values of investment securities
at March 31, 2016, by contractual maturity, are summarized in the table below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual
maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. These investments are comprised of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock
and Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB”) stock. The FHLB stock had a cost and fair value of $8,975,000 and $5,871,000
at March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and serves as part of the collateral for the Company’s line of credit with the
FHLB and is also a requirement for membership in the FHLB system. The FRB stock had a cost and fair value of $7,056,000 at March
31, 2016. The Company was required to purchase this stock when it became a member of the Federal Reserve System in the second quarter
of 2015. Periodically, both the FHLB and FRB recalculate the Company’s required level of holdings, and the Company either
buys more stock or the redeems a portion of the stock at cost. The Company determined that neither stock was impaired at either
period end.
Note 7 – Loans and Asset Quality Information
The loans and foreclosed real estate that were acquired in FDIC-assisted
transactions are covered by loss share agreements between the FDIC and the Company’s banking subsidiary, First Bank, which
afford First Bank significant loss protection - see Note 2 to the financial statements included in the Company’s 2011 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for detailed information regarding these transactions. Because of the loss protection provided by the FDIC,
the risk of the loans and foreclosed real estate that are covered by loss share agreements are significantly different from those
assets not covered under the loss share agreements. Accordingly, the Company presents separately loans subject to the loss share
agreements as “covered loans” in the information below and loans that are not subject to the loss share agreements
as “non-covered loans.”
On April 1, 2016, one of the Company’s loss share agreements
with the FDIC expired. The agreement that expired related to the non-single family assets of The Bank of Asheville, a failed bank
acquisition from January 2011. Accordingly, the remaining balances associated with these loans and foreclosed real estate were
transferred from the covered portfolio to the non-covered portfolio on April 1, 2016. The Company will bear all future losses on
this portfolio of loans and foreclosed real estate. Immediately prior to the transfer to non-covered status, the loans in this
portfolio had a carrying value of $17.7 million and the foreclosed real estate in this portfolio had a carrying value of $1.2 million.
Of the $17.7 million in loans that lost loss share protection, approximately $2.8 million were on nonaccrual status as of April
1, 2016. Additionally, approximately $0.3 million in allowance for loan losses associated with this portfolio of loans was transferred
to the allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans on April 1, 2016.

As reflected in the table above, the Company accreted $1,055,000
of the loan discount on purchased nonimpaired loans into interest income during the first quarter of 2016. As of March 31, 2016,
there was remaining loan discount of $12,489,000 related to purchased accruing loans. If these loans continue to be repaid by the
borrowers, the Company will accrete the remaining loan discount into interest income over the covered lives of the respective loans.
In such circumstances, a corresponding entry to reduce the indemnification asset will be recorded amounting to approximately 80%
of the loan discount accretion, which reduces noninterest income. At March 31, 2016, the Company also had $1,546,000 of loan discount
related to purchased nonaccruing loans. It is not expected that a significant amount of this discount will be accreted, as it represents
estimated losses on these loans.
The following table presents information regarding all purchased
impaired loans since December 31, 2014, the majority of which are covered loans. The Company has applied the cost recovery method
to all purchased impaired loans at their respective acquisition dates due to the uncertainty as to the timing of expected cash
flows, as reflected in the following table.

Because of the uncertainty of the expected cash flows, the Company
is accounting for each purchased impaired loan under the cost recovery method, in which all cash payments are applied to principal.
Thus, there is no accretable yield associated with the above loans. During the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, the Company received
$69,000 and $0, respectively, in payments that exceeded the initial carrying amount of the purchased impaired loans, which is included
in interest income.
Nonperforming assets are defined as nonaccrual loans, restructured
loans, loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing interest, nonperforming loans held for sale, and foreclosed real estate.
Nonperforming assets are summarized as follows:

(1) At March 31, 2016, December 31,
2015, and March 31, 2015, the contractual balance of the nonaccrual loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements was $9.0 million,
$12.3 million, and $14.1 million, respectively.
At March 31, 2016, the Company had $2.1 million in residential mortgage
loans in process of foreclosure.
The remaining tables in this note present information derived from
the Company’s allowance for loan loss model. Relevant accounting guidance requires certain disclosures to be disaggregated
based on how the Company develops its allowance for loan losses and manages its credit exposure. This model combines loan types
in a different manner than the tables previously presented.
The following table presents the Company’s nonaccrual loans
as of March 31, 2016.

Interest income recorded on non-covered and covered impaired loans
during the year ended December 31, 2015 was insignificant.
The Company tracks credit quality based on its internal risk ratings.
Upon origination a loan is assigned an initial risk grade, which is generally based on several factors such as the borrower’s
credit score, the loan-to-value ratio, the debt-to-income ratio, etc. Loans that are risk-graded as substandard during the origination
process are declined. After loans are initially graded, they are monitored monthly for credit quality based on many factors, such
as payment history, the borrower’s financial status, and changes in collateral value. Loans can be downgraded or upgraded
depending on management’s evaluation of these factors. Internal risk-grading policies are consistent throughout each loan
type.
The following describes the Company’s internal risk grades
in ascending order of likelihood of loss:
|
Numerical Risk Grade
|
Description
|
Pass:
|
|
|
1
|
Loans with virtually no risk, including cash secured loans.
|
|
2
|
Loans with documented significant overall financial strength. These loans have minimum chance of loss due to the presence of multiple sources of repayment – each clearly sufficient to satisfy the obligation.
|
|
3
|
Loans with documented satisfactory overall financial strength. These loans have a low loss potential due to presence of at least two clearly identified sources of repayment – each of which is sufficient to satisfy the obligation under the present circumstances.
|
|
4
|
Loans to borrowers with acceptable financial condition. These loans could have signs of minor operational weaknesses, lack of adequate financial information, or loans supported by collateral with questionable value or marketability.
|
Watch or Standard:
|
|
|
9
|
Existing loans that meet the guidelines for a Risk Graded 5 loan, except the collateral coverage is sufficient to satisfy the debt with no risk of loss under reasonable circumstances.
|
Special Mention:
|
|
|
5
|
Existing loans with defined weaknesses in primary source of repayment that, if not corrected, could cause a loss to the Bank.
|
Classified:
|
|
|
6
|
An existing loan inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. These loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.
|
|
7
|
Loans that have a well-defined weakness that make the collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. Loss appears imminent, but the exact amount and timing is uncertain.
|
|
8
|
Loans that are considered uncollectible and are in the process of being charged-off. This grade is a temporary grade assigned for administrative purposes until the charge-off is completed.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
The restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt
restructuring” if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession.
Concessions may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization
schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses.
The vast majority of the Company’s troubled debt restructurings
modified related to interest rate reductions combined with restructured amortization schedules. The Company does not generally
grant principal forgiveness.
All loans classified as troubled debt restructurings are considered
to be impaired and are evaluated as such for determination of the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s troubled debt
restructurings can be classified as either nonaccrual or accruing based on the loan’s payment status. The troubled debt restructurings
that are nonaccrual are reported within the nonaccrual loan totals presented previously.
The following table presents information related to loans modified
in a troubled debt restructuring during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Included in the receivable related to loss claims incurred, not yet
reimbursed, at March 31, 2015, was $1.2 million related to two claims involving the same borrower. The FDIC initially denied both
claims because the FDIC disagreed with the collection strategy that the Company undertook. During the second quarter of 2015, the
Company and the FDIC reached an agreement to resolve this matter, as follows. One of the two claims amounting to $324,000 was accepted
by the FDIC and the related loan remains subject to the loss share agreement, which provides that any future recoveries realized
prior to June 30, 2017 are to be split on an 80%/20% basis with the FDIC (the FDIC receives 80%). For the other claim amounting
to $886,000, the FDIC paid the Company $480,000 and the related loan was removed from the provisions of the loss share agreement.
This will result in the Company retaining 100% of any future recoveries. As a result of this negotiated agreement, during the second
quarter of 2015, the Company wrote off the $406,000 portion of the claim not being reimbursed by the FDIC.
The following presents a rollforward of the FDIC indemnification
asset since December 31, 2015.

Note 11 – Pension Plans
The Company has historically
sponsored two defined benefit pension plans – a qualified retirement plan (the “Pension Plan”) which was generally
available to all employees, and a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”), which was for the benefit of
certain senior management executives of the Company. Effective December 31, 2012, the Company froze both plans for all participants.
Although no previously accrued benefits were lost, employees no longer accrue benefits for service subsequent to 2012.
The Company recorded pension
income totaling $162,000 and $267,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which primarily related
to investment income from the Pension Plan’s assets. The following table contains the components of the pension income.

The Company’s contributions
to the Pension Plan are based on computations by independent actuarial consultants and are intended to be deductible for income
tax purposes. The contributions are invested to provide for benefits under the Pension Plan. The Company does not expect to contribute
to the Pension Plan in 2016.
The Company’s funding policy with respect to the SERP is to
fund the related benefits from the operating cash flow of the Company.
Note 12 – Comprehensive Income

Note 13 – Fair Value
Relevant accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which
requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) of identical assets
or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than
Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other
inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect
a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The following table summarizes the Company’s financial instruments
that were measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2016.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used
for instruments measured at fair value.
Securities Available for Sale — When quoted market
prices are available in an active market, the securities are classified as Level 1 in the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market
prices are not available, but fair values can be estimated by observing quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics,
the securities are classified as Level 2 on the valuation hierarchy. Most of the fair values for the Company’s Level 2 securities
are determined by our third-party bond accounting provider using matrix pricing. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely
used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather
by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. For the Company, Level 2 securities include
mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, government-sponsored enterprise securities, and corporate bonds.
In cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.
The Company reviews the pricing methodologies utilized
by the bond accounting provider to ensure the fair value determination is consistent with the applicable accounting guidance and
that the investments are properly classified in the fair value hierarchy. Further, the Company validates the fair values for a
sample of securities in the portfolio by comparing the fair values provided by the bond accounting provider to prices from other
independent sources for the same or similar securities. The Company analyzes unusual or significant variances and conducts additional
research with the portfolio manager, if necessary, and takes appropriate action based on its findings.
Impaired loans — Fair values for impaired loans in
the above table are measured on a non-recurring basis and are based on the underlying collateral values securing the loans, adjusted
for estimated selling costs, or the net present value of the cash flows expected to be received for such loans. Collateral may
be in the form of real estate or business assets including equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The vast majority of the
collateral is real estate. The value of real estate collateral is determined using an income or market valuation approach based
on an appraisal conducted by an independent, licensed third party appraiser (Level 3). The value of business equipment is based
upon an outside appraisal if deemed significant, or the net book value on the applicable borrower’s financial statements
if not considered significant. Likewise, values for inventory and accounts receivable collateral are based on borrower financial
statement balances or aging reports on a discounted basis as appropriate (Level 3). Any fair value adjustments are recorded in
the period incurred as provision for loan losses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Foreclosed real estate – Foreclosed real estate,
consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, is reported at the lower of cost or fair value.
Fair value is measured on a non-recurring basis and is based upon independent market prices or current appraisals that are generally
prepared using an income or market valuation approach and conducted by an independent, licensed third party appraiser, adjusted
for estimated selling costs (Level 3). At the time of foreclosure, any excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the real
estate held as collateral is treated as a charge against the allowance for loan losses. For any real estate valuations subsequent
to foreclosure, any excess of the real estate recorded value over the fair value of the real estate is treated as a foreclosed
real estate write-down on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
or non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2016, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows:

Transfers of assets or liabilities between levels within the fair
value hierarchy are recognized when an event or change in circumstances occurs. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level
2 for assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2016 or 2015.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the increase
in the fair value of securities available for sale was $817,000 and $247,000, respectively, which is included in other comprehensive
income (net of tax expense of $319,000 and $95,000, respectively). Fair value measurement methods at March 31, 2016 and 2015 are
consistent with those used in prior reporting periods.

Fair value methods and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s
financial instruments.
Cash and
Amounts Due from Banks, Federal Funds Sold, Presold Mortgages in Process of Settlement, Accrued Interest Receivable, and Accrued
Interest Payable
-
The
carrying amounts approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.
Available
for Sale and Held to Maturity Securities
-
Fair values are provided by a third-party and are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not
available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments or matrix pricing.
Loans
-
For nonimpaired loans, fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated
by type such as commercial, financial and agricultural, real estate construction, real estate mortgages and installment loans to
individuals. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate terms. The fair value for each category
is determined by discounting scheduled future cash flows using current interest rates offered on loans with similar risk characteristics.
Fair values for impaired loans are primarily based on estimated proceeds expected upon liquidation of the collateral or the present
value of expected cash flows.
FDIC Indemnification Asset – Fair value is equal to the FDIC
reimbursement rate of the expected losses to be incurred and reimbursed by the FDIC and then discounted over the estimated period
of receipt.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance – The carrying value of life insurance
approximates fair value because this investment is carried at cash surrender value, as determined by the issuer.
Deposits
-
The fair value of deposits
with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, and
money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of the valuation date. The fair value of certificates of deposit
is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered in
the marketplace for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Borrowings
-
The fair value of borrowings
is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered by
the Company’s lenders for debt of similar remaining maturities.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based
on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount
that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.
Because no highly liquid market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates
are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various
financial instruments, and 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.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet
financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities
that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities
include net premises and equipment, intangible and other assets such as deferred income taxes, prepaid expense accounts, income
taxes currently payable and other various accrued expenses. In addition, the income 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 any of
the estimates.
Note 14 – Shareholders’ Equity Transactions
Small Business Lending Fund
On September 1, 2011, the Company completed the sale of $63.5 million
of Series B Preferred Stock to the Secretary of the Treasury under the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF). The fund was established
under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 that was created to encourage lending to small businesses by providing capital to qualified
community banks with assets less than $10 billion.
Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, the Treasury received
63,500 shares of non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share, in exchange for $63.5 million.
On June 25, 2015, the Company redeemed $32 million (32,000 shares) of the outstanding SBLF Stock. The shares were redeemed at their
liquidation value of $1,000 per share plus accrued dividends. On October 16, 2015, the Company redeemed the remaining $31.5 million
(31,500 shares) of the outstanding SBLF Stock. The shares were redeemed at their liquidation value of $1,000 per share plus accrued
dividends. With these redemptions, the Company ended its participation in the SBLF.
The Series B Preferred Stock qualified as Tier 1 capital. The dividend
rate, as a percentage of the liquidation amount, fluctuated on a quarterly basis during the first 10 quarters during which the
Series B Preferred Stock was outstanding, based upon changes in the level of “Qualified Small Business Lending” or
“QSBL”. For the first nine quarters after issuance, the dividend rate could range from one percent (1%) to five percent
(5%) per annum based upon the increase in QSBL as compared to the baseline. For the tenth calendar quarter through four and one
half years after issuance (the “temporary fixed rate period”), the dividend rate was fixed at between one percent (1%)
and seven percent (7%) based upon the level of QSBL compared to the baseline. After four and one half years from the issuance,
the dividend rate would increase to nine percent (9%). For quarters subsequent to the issuance in 2011, the Company was able to
continually increase its level of small business lending and as a result, the dividend rate steadily decreased from 5.0% in 2011
to 1.0% in early 2013. From that point through redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company was in the “temporary
fixed rate period,” in which the dividend rate was fixed at 1%.
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company accrued approximately
$159,000 in preferred dividend payments for the Series B Preferred Stock. This amount is deducted from net income in computing
“Net income available to common shareholders.”
Stock Issuance
On December 21, 2012, the Company issued 2,656,294 shares of
its common stock and 728,706 shares of the Company’s Series C Preferred Stock to certain accredited investors, each at the
price of $10.00 per share, pursuant to a private placement transaction. Net proceeds from this sale of common and preferred stock
were $33.8 million and were used to strengthen and remove risk from the Company’s balance sheet in anticipation of a planned
disposition of certain classified loans and write-down of foreclosed real estate.
The Series C Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and is Convertible
Perpetual Preferred Stock, with dividend rights equal to the Company’s Common Stock. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock
will automatically convert into one share of Common Stock on the date the holder of Series C Preferred Stock transfers any shares
of Series C Preferred Stock to a non-affiliate of the holder in certain permissible transfers. The Series C Preferred Stock is
non-voting, except in limited circumstances.
The Series C Preferred Stock pays a dividend per share equal to that
of the Company’s common stock. During each of the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, the Company accrued approximately $58,000
in preferred dividend payments for the Series C Preferred Stock.
Note 15 – Acquisition of Bankingport,
Inc.
On January 1, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Bankingport,
Inc. (“Bankingport”). The results of Bankingport are included in First Bancorp’s results for the period ended
March 31, 2016 beginning on the January 1, 2016 acquisition date.
Bankingport was an insurance agency based in Sanford, North
Carolina. This acquisition represented an opportunity to expand the insurance agency operations into a contiguous and
significant banking market for the Company. Also, this acquisition provided the Company with a larger platform for leveraging
insurance services throughout the Company’s bank branch network. The deal value was $2.2 million and the transaction
was completed on January 1, 2016 with the Company paying $700,000 and issuing 79,012 shares of its common stock, which had a
value of approximately $1.5 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company also paid $1.1 million to purchase the
office space previously leased by Bankingport.
This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Bankingport were recorded based on estimates
of fair values as of January 1, 2016. In connection with is transaction, the Company recorded $1.7 million in goodwill, which is
non-deductible for tax purposes, and $0.7 million in other amoritzable intangible assets.
Note 16 – Pending Acquisition/Divestiture
On March 4, 2016, the Company announced that it had entered into
an agreement with First Community Bank, Bluefield, Virginia, pursuant to which the Bank is exchanging its branch network in Virginia,
which is comprised of seven branches in the southwestern area of Virginia, for six of First Community Bank’s branches located
in North Carolina. According to the agreement, the Bank will acquire a total of six branches, with four of the branches being in
Winston-Salem, one branch in Mooresville and the other branch being in Huntersville. These six branches have total deposits of
approximately $130 million. At the same time, the Bank will sell all seven of its Virginia branches to First Community Bank, with
total deposits of approximately $150 million. Additionally, the exchange will include up to $175 million of loans. Subject to regulatory
approval and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2016.
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Consolidated Results
of Operations and Financial Condition
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting principles we follow and our methods of
applying these principles conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with
general practices followed by the banking industry. Certain of these principles involve a significant amount of judgment and
may involve the use of estimates based on our best assumptions at the time of the estimation. The allowance for loan losses,
intangible assets, and the fair value and discount accretion of loans acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions are three
policies we have identified as being more sensitive in terms of judgments and estimates, taking into account their overall
potential impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Loan Losses
Due to the estimation process and the potential materiality of the
amounts involved, we have identified the accounting for the allowance for loan losses and the related provision for loan losses
as an accounting policy critical to our consolidated financial statements. The provision for loan losses charged to operations
is an amount sufficient to bring the allowance for loan losses to an estimated balance considered adequate to absorb losses inherent
in the portfolio.
Our determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based primarily
on a mathematical model that estimates the appropriate allowance for loan losses. This model has two components. The first component
involves the estimation of losses on individually evaluated “impaired loans”. A loan is considered to be impaired when,
based on current information and events, it is probable we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual
terms of the loan agreement. A loan is specifically evaluated for an appropriate valuation allowance if the loan balance is above
a prescribed evaluation threshold (which varies based on credit quality, accruing status, troubled debt restructured status, and
type of collateral) and the loan is determined to be impaired. The estimated valuation allowance is the difference, if any, between
the loan balance outstanding and the value of the impaired loan as determined by either 1) an estimate of the cash flows that we
expect to receive from the borrower discounted at the loan’s effective rate, or 2) in the case of a collateral-dependent
loan, the fair value of the collateral.
The second component of the allowance model is an estimate of losses
for all loans not considered to be impaired loans (“general reserve loans”). General reserve loans are segregated into
pools by loan type and risk grade and estimated loss percentages are assigned to each loan pool based on historical losses.
The historical loss percentage is then adjusted for any environmental factors used to reflect changes in the collectability of
the portfolio not captured by historical data.
The reserves estimated for individually evaluated impaired loans
are then added to the reserve estimated for general reserve loans. This becomes our “allocated allowance.” The allocated
allowance is compared to the actual allowance for loan losses recorded on our books and any adjustment necessary for the recorded
allowance to absorb losses inherent in the portfolio is recorded as a provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses
is a direct charge to earnings in the period recorded. Any remaining difference between the allocated allowance and the actual
allowance for loan losses recorded on our books is our “unallocated allowance.”
Loans covered under loss share agreements (referred to as “covered
loans”) are recorded at fair value at acquisition date. Therefore, amounts deemed uncollectible at acquisition date become
a part of the fair value calculation and are excluded from the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent decreases in the amount expected
to be collected result in a provision for loan losses with a corresponding increase in the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent
increases in the amount expected to be collected are accreted into income over the life of the loan. Proportional adjustments are
also recorded to the FDIC indemnification asset.
Although we use the best information available to make evaluations,
future material adjustments may be necessary if economic, operational, or other conditions change. In addition, various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on the examiners’ judgment about information available to them at
the time of their examinations.
For further discussion, see “Nonperforming Assets” and
“Summary of Loan Loss Experience” below.
Intangible Assets
Due to the estimation process and the potential materiality of the
amounts involved, we have also identified the accounting for intangible assets as an accounting policy critical to our consolidated
financial statements.
When we complete an acquisition transaction, the excess of the purchase
price over the amount by which the fair market value of assets acquired exceeds the fair market value of liabilities assumed represents
an intangible asset. We must then determine the identifiable portions of the intangible asset, with any remaining amount classified
as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets associated with these acquisitions are generally amortized over the estimated life
of the related asset, whereas goodwill is tested annually for impairment, but not systematically amortized. Assuming no goodwill
impairment, it is beneficial to our future earnings to have a lower amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets and higher
amount of goodwill as opposed to having a higher amount considered to be identifiable intangible assets and a lower amount classified
as goodwill.
The primary identifiable intangible asset we typically record in
connection with a whole bank or bank branch acquisition is the value of the core deposit intangible, whereas when we acquire an
insurance agency, the primary identifiable intangible asset is the value of the acquired customer list. Determining the amount
of identifiable intangible assets and their average lives involves multiple assumptions and estimates and is typically determined
by performing a discounted cash flow analysis, which involves a combination of any or all of the following assumptions: customer
attrition/runoff, alternative funding costs, deposit servicing costs, and discount rates. We typically engage a third party consultant
to assist in each analysis. For the whole bank and bank branch transactions recorded to date, the core deposit intangibles have
generally been estimated to have a life ranging from seven to ten years, with an accelerated rate of amortization. For insurance
agency acquisitions, the identifiable intangible assets related to the customer lists were determined to have a life of ten to
fifteen years, with amortization occurring on a straight-line basis.
Subsequent to the initial recording of the identifiable intangible
assets and goodwill, we amortize the identifiable intangible assets over their estimated average lives, as discussed above. In
addition, on at least an annual basis, goodwill is evaluated for impairment by comparing the fair value of our reporting units
to their related carrying value, including goodwill (our community banking operation is our only material reporting unit). If the
carrying value of a reporting unit were ever to exceed its fair value, we would determine whether the implied fair value of the
goodwill, using a discounted cash flow analysis, exceeded the carrying value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill
exceeded the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss would be recorded in an amount equal to that excess. Performing
such a discounted cash flow analysis would involve the significant use of estimates and assumptions.
In our 2015 goodwill impairment evaluation, we engaged a consulting
firm that used various valuation techniques to assist us in concluding that our goodwill was not impaired.
We review identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our policy is that an impairment loss
is recognized, equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and its fair value, if the sum of the expected
undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Estimating future cash flows involves the use of
multiple estimates and assumptions, such as those listed above.
Fair Value and Discount Accretion of Loans Acquired in FDIC-Assisted
Transactions
We consider the determination of the initial fair value of loans
acquired in FDIC-assisted transactions, the initial fair value of the related FDIC indemnification asset, and the subsequent discount
accretion of the purchased loans to involve a high degree of judgment and complexity. We determine fair value accounting estimates
of newly assumed assets and liabilities in accordance with relevant accounting guidance. However, the amount that we realize on
these assets could differ materially from the carrying value reflected in our financial statements, based upon the timing of collections
on the acquired loans in future periods. To the extent the actual values realized for the acquired loans are different from the
estimates, the FDIC indemnification asset will generally be impacted in an offsetting manner due to the loss-sharing support from
the FDIC.
Because of the inherent credit losses associated with the acquired
loans in a failed bank acquisition, the amount that we record as the fair values for the loans is generally less than the contractual
unpaid principal balance due from the borrowers, with the difference being referred to as the “discount” on the acquired
loans. We have applied the cost recovery method of accounting to all purchased impaired loans due to the uncertainty as to the
timing of expected cash flows. This will generally result in the recognition of interest income on these impaired loans only when
the cash payments received from the borrower exceed the recorded net book value of the related loans.
For nonimpaired purchased loans, we accrete the discount over the
lives of the loans in a manner consistent with the guidance for accounting for loan origination fees and costs.
FDIC Indemnification Asset
The FDIC indemnification asset is the estimated amount that the Company
will receive from the FDIC under loss share agreements associated with two FDIC-assisted failed bank acquisitions. See page 42
of the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed explanation of this asset.
The following table presents additional information regarding our
covered loans, loan discounts, allowances for loan losses and the corresponding FDIC indemnification asset:

* Reflects partial charge-offs
** A present value adjustment of $11 reduces the carrying value of this asset to $7,422.
As noted in the table above, our loss share agreement related to
Bank of Asheville’s non-single family assets expired on March 31, 2016. On April 1, 2016, the remaining balances associated
with the Bank of Asheville non-single family loans and foreclosed properties were transferred from the covered portfolio to the
non-covered portfolio. Therefore, after March 31, 2016, we will bear all future losses on that portfolio of loans and foreclosed
properties. At March 31, 2016, these loans and foreclosed properties were classified as covered. At March 31, 2016, the portfolio
of loans had a carrying value of $17.7 million and the portfolio of foreclosed properties had a carrying value of $1.2 million.
Of the $17.7 million in loans that are losing loss share protection, approximately $2.8 million of these loans were on nonaccrual
status as of March 31, 2016. Additionally, approximately $0.3 million in allowance for loan losses that related to this portfolio
of loans were transferred to the allowance for loan losses for non-covered loans on April 1, 2016.
Current Accounting Matters
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements above for information
about accounting standards that we have recently adopted.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter
of 2016 amounted to $6.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted common share. The net income and earnings per share for the first quarter
of 2016 matched those that were reported in the first quarter of 2015.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2016 amounted to $30.2
million, a 1.7% increase from the $29.7 million recorded in the first quarter of 2015. The increase was due to growth in our loans
outstanding and higher yields realized on investment securities.
Our net interest margin (tax-equivalent net interest income divided
by average earning assets) in the first quarter of 2016 was 4.07% compared to 4.19% for the first quarter of 2015. The lower margin
was primarily due to lower loan yields, which have been impacted by the continued low interest rate environment. Additionally,
we recorded a lower amount of discount accretion related to loans purchased in failed-bank acquisitions. Loan discount accretion
amounted to $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared to $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2015. The lower amount
of accretion is due to the continued winding down of the unaccreted discount amount that resulted from failed-bank acquisitions
in 2009 and 2011.
Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality
We recorded a total provision for loan losses of $0.3 million in
the first quarter of 2016 compared to a negative total provision for loan losses (reduction of the allowance for loan losses) of
$0.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. As discussed below, we record provisions for loan losses related to both non-covered
and covered loan portfolios — see explanation of the terms “non-covered” and “covered” in the section
below entitled “Note Regarding Components of Earnings.”
The provision for loan losses on non-covered loans amounted to $1.6
million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. In 2015, a prolonged period of stable
and improving loan quality trends resulted in a minimal amount of provision for loan losses that was needed to adjust our allowance
for loan losses to the appropriate amount.
We recorded a negative provision for loan losses on covered loans
(reduction of allowance for loan losses) of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to a $0.3 million negative provision
for loan losses in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in the negative provision in 2016 resulted from lower levels of covered
nonperforming loans, declining levels of total covered loans, and $1.0 million in net loan recoveries (recoveries, net of charge-offs)
compared to net recoveries of $0.2 million that were realized in the first quarter of 2015.
Total non-covered nonperforming assets declined 20.8% over the past
year, amounting to $71.6 million at March 31, 2016 (2.18% of total non-covered assets) compared to $90.4 million at March 31, 2015
(2.92% of total non-covered assets). The decline in non-covered nonperforming assets is primarily due to on-going resolution of
nonperforming assets and improving credit quality.
Total covered nonperforming assets also declined over the past year,
amounting to $10.7 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $14.5 million at March 31, 2015. Over the past twelve months, we have
resolved a significant amount of covered loans and have experienced strong property sales along the North Carolina coast, which
is where most of our covered assets are located.
Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income was $5.0 million and $4.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.
Core noninterest income for the first quarter of 2016 was $7.3 million,
an increase of 2.2% from the $7.2 million reported for the first quarter of 2015. Core noninterest income includes i) service charges
on deposit accounts, ii) other service charges, commissions, and fees, iii) fees from presold mortgages, iv) commissions from financial
product sales, and v) bank-owned life insurance income. The largest increase in core noninterest income was from commissions from
financial product sales, which includes property and casualty insurance commissions. Property and casualty insurance commissions
increased due to the Company’s January 1, 2016 acquisition of Bankingport, Inc., an insurance agency located in Sanford,
North Carolina. Fees from presold mortgages declined to $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2016 from $0.8 million in the first
quarter of 2015 as a result of fewer mortgage loan originations.
Noncore components of noninterest income resulted in a net decrease
to income of $2.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to a net decrease to income of $2.6 million in the first quarter
of 2015. The largest variance in noncore noninterest income related to gains (losses) on foreclosed properties.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses amounted to $24.8 million in the first quarter
of 2016 compared to $23.7 million recorded in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 4.5%.
Reported salaries expense was unchanged at $11.5 million. A gross
payroll increase of $0.7 million in 2016 associated with our growth initiatives was offset by lower incentive compensation expense
and higher salary deferrals associated with new loan originations.
Employee benefits expense was $2.7 million in the first quarter of
2016 compared to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. This increase was primarily the result of a $0.4 million increase in
employee health insurance expense. We are self-insured for health care expense and experienced unfavorable claim levels in 2016.
Other operating expenses amounted to $7.6 million in the first quarter
of 2016 compared to $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher credit card and debit card
fraud losses, as well as legal expenses associated with merger and acquisition activities.
Balance Sheet and Capital
Total assets at March 31, 2016 amounted to $3.4 billion, a 5.1% increase
from a year earlier. Total loans at March 31, 2016 amounted to $2.5 billion, a 6.0% increase from a year earlier, and total deposits
amounted to $2.8 billion at March 31, 2016, a 4.9% increase from a year earlier.
Non-covered loans amounted to $2.44 billion at March 31, 2016, an
increase of $164.3 million, or 7.2% from March 31, 2015, as a result of ongoing internal initiatives to drive loan growth. Loans
covered by FDIC loss share agreements declined 16.9% over the past year and are expected to continue to decline as those loans
continue to pay down.
The increase in total deposits at March 31, 2016 compared to March
31, 2015 was primarily due to increases in checking, money market and savings accounts, which increased in total by $224.9 million,
or 11.7%, over the past year. Those increases were partially offset by decreases in time deposits, which declined a total of $91.6
million, or 11.9%, over the past year. Time deposits are generally one of our most expensive funding sources, and thus the shift
from this category benefitted our overall cost of funds.
We remain well-capitalized by all regulatory standards, with a Total
Risk-Based Capital Ratio at March 31, 2016 of 14.45% compared to the 10.00% minimum to be considered well-capitalized. Our tangible
common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.24% at March 31, 2016, an increase of 16 basis points from a year earlier.
Expiration of Loss-Share Agreement with the FDIC
Our loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC related to non-single family
loans and foreclosed properties that were assumed in the failed bank acquisition of Bank of Asheville in 2011 expired on April
1, 2016. We will bear all future losses on these assets, however, at present, management does not expect such losses will be materially
in excess of related loan loss allowances. The following presents information related to these assets as of or for the quarter
ended March 31, 2016, which continue to be included within the “covered” line items in the accompanying tables. In
the future, these assets will be included in the “non-covered” categories.

We continue to have two loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC in
place. The next agreement that expires does so on July 1, 2019.
Note Regarding Components of Earnings
Our results of operation are significantly affected by the on-going
accounting for two FDIC-assisted failed bank acquisitions. In the discussion above and elsewhere in this document, the term “covered”
is used to describe assets included as part of FDIC loss share agreements, which generally result in the FDIC reimbursing the Company
for 80% of losses incurred on those assets. The term “non-covered” refers to the Company’s legacy assets, which
are not included in any type of loss share arrangement.
For covered loans that deteriorate in terms of repayment expectations,
we record immediate allowances through the provision for loan losses. For covered loans that experience favorable changes in credit
quality compared to what was expected at the acquisition date, including loans that payoff, we record positive adjustments to interest
income over the life of the respective loan – also referred to as loan discount accretion. For covered foreclosed properties
that are sold at gains or losses or that are written down to lower values, we record the gains/losses within noninterest income.
The adjustments discussed above are recorded within the income statement
line items noted without consideration of the FDIC loss share agreements. Because favorable changes in covered assets result in
lower expected FDIC claims, and unfavorable changes in covered assets result in higher expected FDIC claims, the FDIC indemnification
asset is adjusted to reflect those expectations. The net increase or decrease in the indemnification asset is reflected within
noninterest income.
The adjustments noted above can result in volatility within individual
income statement line items. Because of the FDIC loss share agreements and the associated indemnification asset, pretax income
resulting from amounts recorded as provisions for loan losses on covered loans, discount accretion, and losses from covered foreclosed
properties is generally only impacted by 20% of these amounts due to the corresponding adjustments made to the indemnification
asset.
Components of Earnings
Net interest income is the largest component of earnings, representing
the difference between interest and fees generated from earning assets and the interest costs of deposits and other funds needed
to support those assets. Net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 amounted to $30.2 million, an increase
of $0.5 million, or 1.7%, from the $29.7 million recorded in the first quarter of 2015. Net interest income on a tax-equivalent
basis for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 amounted to $30.7 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 1.9%, from the
$30.1 million recorded in the first quarter of 2015. We believe that analysis of net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis
is useful and appropriate because it allows a comparison of net interest income amounts in different periods without taking into
account the different mix of taxable versus non-taxable investments that may have existed during those periods.

There are two primary factors that cause changes in the amount of
net interest income we record - 1) changes in our loans and deposits balances, and 2) our net interest margin (tax-equivalent net
interest income divided by average interest-earning assets).
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the higher net interest
income compared to the same period of 2015 was due to growth in loans outstanding and higher yields realized on investment securities
(see discussion below).

basis.

Includes tax-equivalent adjustments of $459,000 and $390,000 in 2016 and 2015, respectively, to
reflect the tax benefit that we receive related to tax-exempt securities, which carry interest rates lower than similar taxable
investments due to their tax exempt status. This amount has been computed assuming a 39% tax rate and is reduced by the related
nondeductible portion of interest expense.

Average loans outstanding for the first quarter of 2016 were $2.528
billion, which was $137 million, or 5.7%, higher than the average loans outstanding for the first quarter of 2015 ($2.391 billion).
The higher amount of average loans outstanding in 2016 is due to loan growth initiatives including expansion into higher growth
markets, improved loan demand in our market areas, as well as the hiring of several experienced bankers during 2015.
The mix of our loan portfolio remained substantially the same at
March 31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015, with approximately 89% of our loans being real estate loans, 9% being commercial,
financial, and agricultural loans, and the remaining 2% being consumer installment loans. The majority of our real estate loans
are personal and commercial loans where real estate provides additional security for the loan.
Average total deposits outstanding
for the first quarter of 2016 were $2.775 billion, which was $106 million, or 4.0%, higher than the average deposits outstanding
for the first quarter of 2015 ($2.669 billion). Average transaction deposit accounts (noninterest bearing checking, interest bearing
checking, money market and savings accounts) increased from $1.877 billion at March 31, 2015 to $2.086 billion at March 31, 2016,
representing growth of $210 million, or 11.2%. With the growth of our transaction deposit accounts, we were able to further reduce
our reliance on higher cost sources of funding, specifically time deposits. Average time deposits declined from $792 million at
March 31, 2015 to $689 million at March 31, 2016, a decrease of $103 million, or 13.1%. Average borrowings increased from $116
million at March 31, 2015 to $186 million at March 31, 2016, which helped support loan growth. Although the favorable change in
our deposit funding mix benefitted our cost of funds by approximately three basis points, the benefit was largely offset by the
increased costs associated with our increased borrowings. Our cost of funds, which includes noninterest bearing checking accounts
at a zero percent cost, was 0.25% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to 0.26% in the first quarter of 2015.
See additional information regarding
changes in our loans and deposits in the section below entitled “Financial Condition.”
Our net interest margin (tax-equivalent net interest income divided
by average earning assets) for the first quarter of 2016 was 4.07% compared to 4.19% for the first quarter of 2015. The lower margin
was primarily due to lower loan yields. Also, we recorded a lower amount of discount accretion related to loans purchased in failed-bank
acquisitions (see discussion below).
Our net interest margin benefitted from the net accretion of purchase
accounting premiums/discounts associated with the Cooperative acquisition that occurred in June 2009 and, to a lesser degree, the
acquisition of The Bank of Asheville in January 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recorded $1,055,000
and $1,557,000, respectively, in net accretion of purchase accounting premiums/discounts that increased net interest income. The
decrease in discount accretion in 2016 is due to the unnaccreted discount amount that resulted from the failed-bank acquisitions
continuing to wind down. Unaccreted loan discount has declined from $19.1 million at March 31, 2015 to $14.0 million at March 31,
2016.
See additional information regarding
net interest income in the section entitled “Interest Rate Risk.”
We recorded total provisions for loan losses of $0.3 million for
the first quarter of 2016 compared to negative provisions for loan losses of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2015.
Our provision for loan losses on non-covered loans amounted to $1.6
million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. In 2015, a prolonged period of stable
and improving loan quality trends resulted in a minimal amount of provision for loan losses that was needed to adjust the Company’s
allowance for loan losses to the appropriate amount. See additional discussion below in the section titled “Summary of Loan
Loss Experience.”
We recorded a negative provision for loan losses on covered loans
of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to a negative provision for loan losses of $0.3 million in the first quarter
of 2015. The increase in the negative provision was primarily due to lower levels of covered nonperforming loans during the period,
declining levels of total covered loans, and $1.0 million in net loan recoveries (recoveries, net of charge-offs) compared to $0.2
million in net loan recoveries that were realized in the first quarter of 2015.
Total noninterest income was $5.0 million in the first quarter of
2016 compared to $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2015.
As presented in the table below, core noninterest income for the
first quarter of 2016 was $7.3 million, an increase of 2.2% from the $7.2 million reported for the first quarter of 2015. As noted
above, core noninterest income includes i) service charges on deposit accounts, ii) other service charges, commissions, and fees,
iii) fees from presold mortgages, iv) commissions from financial product sales, and v) bank-owned life insurance income.
The following table presents our core noninterest income for the
three month periods ending March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

As shown in the table above, service charges on deposit accounts
decreased from $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 to $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2016. Fewer instances of fees
earned from customers overdrawing their accounts have impacted this line item, as well as more customers meeting the requirements
to have the monthly services charges waived on their checking accounts.
Other service charges, commissions, and fees increased in 2016
compared to 2015, primarily as a result of higher debit card and credit card interchange fees. We earn a small fee each time
a customer uses a debit card to make a purchase. Due to the growth in checking accounts and increased customer usage of debit
cards, we have experienced increases in this line item. Interchange income from credit cards has also increased due to growth
in the number and usage of credit cards, which we believe is a result of increased promotion of this product.
Fees from presold mortgages decreased from $0.8 million in the first
quarter of 2015 to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2016. Mortgage loan activity decreased this quarter in comparison to the
prior year.
Commissions from sales of insurance and financial products amounted
to approximately $0.9 million and $0.6 million for the first three months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. This line item includes
property and casualty insurance commissions, which have increased due to our January 1, 2016 acquisition of Bankingport, Inc.,
an insurance agency located in Sanford, North Carolina. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Bank-owned life insurance income increased from $0.4 million in the
first quarter of 2015 to $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2016. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we purchased $15 million in
additional bank owned life insurance, which has resulted in increased income since the purchase.
Within the noncore components of noninterest
income, the largest variances related to gains and losses on foreclosed properties. We recorded a net loss on non-covered foreclosed
properties of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared a $0.5 million loss in the first quarter of 2015. Gains on covered
foreclosed properties were $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to gains of $0.2 million recorded for
the three months ended March 31, 2015. Losses on non-covered and covered foreclosed properties have generally declined as a result
of significantly lower levels of foreclosed properties held by the Company and stabilization in property values.
Indemnification asset income (expense) is recorded to reflect additional
(decreased) amounts expected to be received from the FDIC related to covered assets. The three primary items that result in recording
indemnification asset income (expense) are 1) income from loan discount accretion, which results in indemnification expense, 2)
provisions (reversals) for loan losses on covered loans, which result in indemnification income (or expense for reversals of provision)
and 3) foreclosed property gains (losses) on covered assets, which also result in indemnification expense (income). In each of
the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, we recorded $2.4 million in indemnification asset expense, as shown in the following table:

Noninterest expenses amounted to $24.8 million in the first quarter
of 2016, a 4.5% increase over the $23.7 million recorded in the same period of 2015.
Salary expense amounted to $11.5 million for each of the three month
periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. In 2016, a gross payroll increase of $0.7 million associated with our growth initiatives
was offset by lower incentive compensation expense and higher salary deferrals associated with new loan originations.
Employee benefits expense was $2.7 million in the first quarter of
2016 compared to $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. This increase was primarily the result of a $0.4 million increase in
employee health insurance expense. We are self-insured for health care expense and experienced unfavorable claim levels in 2016.
The combined amount of occupancy and equipment expense did not vary
materially when comparing the first quarter of 2016 to the first quarter of 2015, amounting to approximately $2.8 million in each
quarter.
Other operating expenses amounted to $7.6 million for the first quarter
of 2016 compared to $7.0 million in the first quarter of 2015, with the increase related to miscellaneous items of other operating
expense. The increase was primarily due to higher credit card and debit card fraud losses, as well as legal expenses associated
with various merger and acquisition activities.
For the first quarter of 2016,
the provision for income taxes was $3.3 million, an effective tax rate of 32.7%. For the first quarter of 2015, the provision for
income taxes was $3.7 million, an effective tax rate of 34.6%. Higher levels of tax-exempt loans and bank-owned life insurance,
as well as a 100 basis point reduction in the statutory corporate tax rate in North Carolina, contributed to the lower effective
tax rate.
We accrued total preferred stock dividends of $0.1 million and $0.2
million in the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in 2016 is due to our 2015 redemption
of preferred stock associated with our prior participation in the U.S. Treasury’s Small Business Lending Fund.
The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income reflect other
comprehensive income of $527,000 during the first quarter of 2016 compared to other comprehensive income of $133,000 during the
first quarter of 2015. The primary component of other comprehensive income for the periods presented was changes in unrealized
holding gains (losses) of our available for sale securities. Our available for sale securities portfolio is predominantly comprised
of fixed rate bonds that generally increase in value when market yields for fixed rate bonds decrease and decline in value when
market yields for fixed rate bonds increase. Management has evaluated any unrealized losses on individual securities at each period
end and determined that there is no other-than-temporary impairment.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets at March 31, 2016 amounted to $3.38 billion, a 5.1%
increase from a year earlier. Total loans at March 31, 2016 amounted to $2.54 billion, a 6.0% increase from a year earlier, and
total deposits amounted to $2.83 billion, a 4.9% increase from a year earlier.
The following table presents information regarding the nature of
changes in our levels of loans and deposits for the twelve months ended March 31, 2016 and for the first quarter of 2016.

As derived from the table above, for the twelve months preceding
March 31, 2016, our total loans increased $144 million, or 6.0%. Internal non-covered loan growth was $164 million, or 7.2%, for
the twelve months ended March 31, 2016, while our covered loans declined by $20 million, or 16.9%. We expect continued growth in
our non-covered loan portfolio in 2016, as we have recently expanded into higher growth market areas, and we had experienced bankers
join our company over the past one to two years. We expect our covered loans to continue to decline as a result of normal pay-downs,
foreclosures, and charge-offs. For the first three months of 2016, we experienced internal growth in our non-covered loan portfolio
of $24 million, or 1.0%, which offset the decline in our covered loans of $3 million.
As previously discussed, on April 1, 2016, we transferred $17.7 million
in loans from “covered” to “non-covered” as a result of the expiration of a loss-share agreement with the
FDIC.
The mix of our loan portfolio remains substantially the same at March
31, 2016 compared to December 31, 2015. The majority of our real estate loans are personal and commercial loans where real estate
provides additional security for the loan.
Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements presents additional
detailed information regarding our mix of loans, including a break-out between loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements and
non-covered loans. Additionally, the section above titled “FDIC Indemnification Asset” contains detail of our covered
loans and foreclosed properties segregated by each of the three remaining loss share agreements.
For both the three and twelve month periods ended March 31, 2016,
we experienced net increases in total deposits, with growth in transaction account balances (checking, money market, and savings)
offsetting the declines in time deposits. Due to the low interest rate environment, some customers are shifting their funds from
time deposits into transaction accounts at our company, which do not pay a materially lower interest rate, while being more liquid.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings,
loans past due 90 or more days and still accruing interest, nonperforming loans held for sale, and foreclosed real estate. As previously
discussed, as a result of two FDIC-assisted transactions, we entered into loss share agreements that afford us significant protection
from losses from all loans and foreclosed real estate acquired in those acquisitions.
Because of the loss protection provided by the FDIC, the financial
risk of the acquired loans and foreclosed real estate is significantly different from the risk associated with assets not covered
under the loss share agreements. Accordingly, we present separately nonperforming assets subject to the loss share agreements as
“covered” nonperforming assets, and nonperforming assets that are not subject to the loss share agreements as “non-covered.”
Nonperforming assets are summarized as follows:

(1) Covered nonperforming assets
consist of assets that are included in loss share agreements with the FDIC.
We have reviewed the collateral for our nonperforming assets, including
nonaccrual loans, and have included this review among the factors considered in the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses
discussed below.
Consistent with the weak economy experienced in much of our market
associated with the onset of the recession in 2008, we experienced higher levels of loan losses, delinquencies and nonperforming
assets compared to our historical averages. While economic conditions have improved recently and our asset quality has steadily
improved, we continue to have elevated levels of losses and nonperforming assets.
As noted in the table above, at March 31, 2016, total nonaccrual
loans (covered and non-covered) amounted to $41.4 million, compared to $47.8 million at December 31, 2015 and $56.0 million at
March 31, 2015. Non-covered nonaccrual loans were $35.7 million, $40.0 million, and $47.4 million at March 31, 2016, December 31,
2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Nonaccrual loans have steadily declined in recent years as we continue to focus on resolving
our problem assets.
“Restructured
loans
– accruing”, or troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), are accruing loans for which we have granted concessions
to the borrower as a result of the borrower’s financial difficulties.
As
seen in the table above “Asset Quality Data”, at March 31, 2016, total TDRs (covered and non-covered) amounted to $30.5
million, compared to $31.5 million at December 31, 2015 and $37.9 million at March 31, 2015.
Foreclosed real estate includes primarily foreclosed properties.
Non-covered foreclosed real estate has decreased over the past year, amounting to $8.8 million at March 31, 2016, $9.2 million
at December 31, 2015, and $9.0 million at March 31, 2015. The decreases were the result of sales activity during the periods and
the improvement in our overall asset quality.
At March 31, 2016, we also held $1.6 million in foreclosed real estate
that is subject to the loss share agreements with the FDIC, compared to $0.8 million at December 31, 2015 and $2.1 million at March
31, 2015. The increase from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 was due to a property settlement associated with a loan that had
been previously charged-off. The decline from March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2015 is primarily due to increased property sales
activity, particularly along the North Carolina coast, which is where most of our covered foreclosed properties are located.
The following is the composition, by loan type, of all of our nonaccrual
loans (covered and non-covered) at each period end, as classified for regulatory purposes:

Among non-covered loans, the tables above indicate decreases in most
categories of non-covered nonaccrual loans. The decreases reflect stabilization in most of our market areas and our increased focus
on the resolution of our nonperforming assets.
We believe that the fair values of the items of foreclosed real estate,
less estimated costs to sell, equal or exceed their respective carrying values at the dates presented. The following table presents

Summary of Loan Loss Experience
The allowance for loan losses is created by direct charges to operations
(known as a “provision for loan losses” for the period in which the charge is taken). Losses on loans are charged against
the allowance in the period in which such loans, in management’s opinion, become uncollectible. The recoveries realized during
the period are credited to this allowance.
We have no foreign loans, few agricultural loans and do not engage
in significant lease financing or highly leveraged transactions. Commercial loans are diversified among a variety of industries.
The majority of our real estate loans are primarily personal and commercial loans where real estate provides additional security
for the loan. Collateral for virtually all of these loans is located within our principal market area.
The weak economic environment
that began in 2008 resulted in elevated levels of classified and nonperforming assets, which has generally led to higher provisions
for loan losses compared to historical averages. While we are seeing signs of a recovering economy in most of our market areas,
it has been a gradual improvement. Although we continue to have an elevated level of past due and adversely classified assets compared
to historic averages, we believe the severity of the loss rate inherent in our current inventory of classified loans is less than
in recent years.
We recorded a provision for loan
losses of $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to a negative provision for loan losses (reduction of the allowance
for loan losses) of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2015. The total provision for loan losses is comprised of provisions
for loan losses for non-covered loans and provisions for loan losses for covered loans, as discussed in the following paragraphs.
The provision for loan losses on non-covered loans amounted to $1.6
million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. In 2015, a prolonged period of
stable and improving loan quality trends resulted in a minimal amount of provision for loan losses that was needed to adjust our
allowance for loan losses to the appropriate amount. This was because our allowance for loan loss model utilizes the net charge-offs
experienced in the most recent years as a significant component of estimating the current allowance for loan losses that is necessary.
Thus, older years (and parts thereof) systematically age out and are excluded from the analysis as time goes on. In 2015, periods
of high net charge-offs we experienced during the peak of the recession dropped out of the analysis and were replaced by the more
modest levels of net charge-offs recently experienced. This had the impact of bringing our overall allowance for loan loss level
down to a more normalized level
following the elevated amounts we maintained during and immediately
following the recession
. Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, the periods aging out of the analysis are not materially
different from recent periods, and thus we expect to continue to see our provision for loan losses correlate more closely with
loan growth, charge-offs and other changes in overall loan quality.
Non-covered loan growth for the first three months of 2016 was $24
million compared to only $7 million in growth for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which resulted in an incremental provision
for the loan losses attributable to loan growth. As it relates to asset quality trends, as shown in a table within Note 7 to the
consolidated financial statements, our total non-covered classified and nonaccrual loans decreased from $102 million at December
31, 2015 to $95 million at March 31, 2016.
We recorded a negative provision for loan losses on covered loans
of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to a negative provision for loan losses of $0.3 million in the first quarter
of 2015. The increase in the negative provision in 2016 resulted from lower levels of covered nonperforming loans, declining levels
of total covered loans and $1.0 million in net loan recoveries (recoveries, net of charge-offs) compared to net recoveries of $0.2
million that were realized during the first quarter of 2015.
For the first three months of 2016, we recorded $2.2 million in net
charge-offs, compared to $4.5 million for the comparable period of 2015. The net charge-offs in 2016 included $1.0 million of net
covered loan recoveries and $3.2 million of net non-covered loan charge-offs, whereas in 2015 net charge-offs included $0.2 million
of net covered loan recoveries and $4.7 million in net charge-offs of non-covered loans.
The allowance for loan losses amounted to $26.6 million at March
31, 2016, compared to $28.6 million at December 31, 2015 and $36.0 million at March 31, 2015. The allowance for loan losses for
non-covered loans was $25.2 million, $26.8 million, and $33.8 million at March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015, and March 31, 2015
respectively. The ratio of our allowance for non-covered loans to total non-covered loans has declined from 1.48% at March 31,
2015 to 1.03% at March 31, 2016 as a result of the factors discussed above that impacted our provision for loan losses on non-covered
loans.
At March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015, and March 31, 2015, the allowance
for loan losses attributable to covered loans was $1.4 million, $1.8 million, and $2.2 million, respectively. Our total covered
loan portfolio continues to decline as these portfolios wind down.
We believe our reserve levels are adequate to cover probable loan
losses on the loans outstanding as of each reporting date. It must be emphasized, however, that the determination of the reserve
using our procedures and methods rests upon various judgments and assumptions about economic conditions and other factors affecting
loans. No assurance can be given that we will not in any particular period sustain loan losses that are sizable in relation to
the amounts reserved or that subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of conditions and factors then prevailing,
will not require significant changes in the allowance for loan losses or future charges to earnings. See “Critical Accounting
Policies — Allowance for Loan Losses” above.
In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses and value of other real estate. Such agencies may
require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance or the carrying value of other real estate based on their judgments about
information available at the time of their examinations.
For the periods indicated, the following table summarizes our balances
of loans outstanding, average loans outstanding, changes in the allowance for loan losses arising from charge-offs and recoveries,
and additions to the allowance for loan losses that have been charged to expense.

Based on the results of our loan analysis and grading program and
our evaluation of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2016, there have been no material changes to the allocation of the
allowance for loan losses among the various categories of loans since December 31, 2015.
Liquidity, Commitments, and Contingencies
Our liquidity is determined by our ability to convert assets to cash
or acquire alternative sources of funds to meet the needs of our customers who are withdrawing or borrowing funds, and to maintain
required reserve levels, pay expenses and operate the Company on an ongoing basis. Our primary liquidity sources are net income
from operations, cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and other short-term investments. Our securities portfolio is comprised
almost entirely of readily marketable securities, which could also be sold to provide cash.
In addition to internally generated liquidity sources, we have the
ability to obtain borrowings from the following four sources - 1) an approximately $580 million line of credit with the Federal
Home Loan Bank (of which $140 million was outstanding at March 31, 2016), 2) a $50 million overnight federal funds line of credit
with a correspondent bank (of which none was outstanding at March 31, 2016), 3) a $35 million federal funds line with a correspondent
bank (of which none was outstanding at March 31, 2016), and 4) an approximately $92 million line of credit through the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond’s discount window (of which none was outstanding at March 31, 2016). In addition to the outstanding
borrowings from the FHLB that reduce the available borrowing capacity of that line of credit, our borrowing capacity was reduced
by $193 million at both March 31, 2016 and 2015 as a result of our pledging letters of credit for public deposits at each of those
dates. Unused and available lines of credit amounted to $550 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $429 million at December 31,
2015.
Our overall liquidity decreased slightly since March 31, 2015 due
primarily to loan growth and the redemption of the $63.5 million in SBLF stock in the second half of 2015. Our liquid assets (cash
and securities) as a percentage of our total deposits and borrowings decreased from 21.1% at March 31, 2015 to 19.8% at March 31,
2016.
We believe our liquidity sources, including unused lines of credit,
are at an acceptable level and remain adequate to meet our operating needs in the foreseeable future. We will continue to monitor
our liquidity position carefully and will explore and implement strategies to increase liquidity if deemed appropriate.
The amount and timing of our contractual obligations and commercial
commitments has not changed materially since December 31, 2015, detail of which is presented in Table 18 on page 90 of our 2015
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We are not involved in any other legal proceedings that, in our opinion,
could have a material effect on our consolidated financial position.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments
Off-balance sheet arrangements include transactions, agreements,
or other contractual arrangements pursuant to which we have obligations or provide guarantees on behalf of an unconsolidated entity.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements of this kind other than letters of credit and repayment guarantees associated with our
trust preferred securities.
Derivative financial instruments include futures, forwards, interest
rate swaps, options contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. We have not engaged in significant
derivative activities through March 31, 2016, and have no current plans to do so.
Capital Resources
We are regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
Board (FED) and are subject to the securities registration and public reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Our banking subsidiary is also regulated by the North Carolina Office of the Commissioner of Banks. We are not aware of any recommendations
of regulatory authorities or otherwise which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on our liquidity, capital
resources, or operations.
We must comply with regulatory capital requirements established by
the FED. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions
by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures
of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital
amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors.
The capital standards require us to maintain minimum ratios of “Common
Equity Tier 1” capital to total risk-weighted assets, “Tier 1” capital to total risk-weighted assets, and total
capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.50%, 6.00% and 8.00%, respectively. Common Equity Tier 1 capital in comprised of common stock
and related surplus, plus retained earnings, and is reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, net of associated deferred
tax liabilities. Tier 1 capital is comprised of Common Equity Tier 1 capital plus Additional Tier 1 Capital, which for the Company
includes non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities. Total capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital
plus certain adjustments, the largest of which is our allowance for loan losses. Risk-weighted assets refer to our on- and off-balance
sheet exposures, adjusted for their related risk levels using formulas set forth in FED regulations.
The capital conservation buffer requirement began to be phased in
on January 1, 2016, at 0.625% of risk weighted assets, and will increase each year until fully implemented at 2.5% in January 1,
2019.
In addition to the risk-based capital requirements described above,
we are subject to a leverage capital requirement, which calls for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital (as defined above) to quarterly
average total assets of 3.00% to 5.00%, depending upon the institution’s composite ratings as determined by its regulators.
The FED has not advised us of any requirement specifically applicable to us.
At March 31, 2016, our capital ratios exceeded the regulatory minimum

Our bank subsidiary is also subject to capital requirements similar
to those discussed above. The bank subsidiary’s capital ratios do not vary materially from our capital ratios presented above.
At March 31, 2016, our bank subsidiary exceeded the minimum ratios established by the regulatory authorities.
Our capital ratios decreased from March 31, 2015 due to the redemption
of $63.5 million in preferred stock in 2015 (see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this
transaction).
In addition to regulatory capital ratios, we also closely monitor
our ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets (“TCE Ratio”). Our TCE ratio was 8.24% at March 31, 2016 compared
to 8.13% at December 31, 2015 and 8.08% at March 31, 2015.
