FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including matters discussed under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements.” These statements are based on management’s current views and assumptions about future events or future financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance or results and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “plan,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “continue,” “expect,” “project,” “predict,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” and similar expressions. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: the effects of future economic conditions, including inflation or a decrease in residential housing values; governmental monetary and fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes; our ability to maintain required capital levels and adequate sources of funding and liquidity; the risks of changes in interest rates; changes in the level and composition of deposits, loan demand and the values of loan collateral, securities and interest sensitive assets and liabilities; credit risks; the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds and other financial institutions operating in our market area and elsewhere, including institutions operating regionally, nationally and internationally, together with competitors offering banking products and services by mail, telephone and the Internet; our ability to receive dividends from our subsidiary; the effects of critical accounting policies and judgments; regulatory actions and developments, including the potential impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; fluctuations in our stock price; the effect of any mergers, acquisitions or other transactions to which we or our subsidiary may from time to time be a party; and the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of our allowance for loan losses. The forward-looking statements contained in this report may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed elsewhere in this report and in FNB United Corp.’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the FNB United Corp.’s annual report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1, for the year ended December 31, 2010. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made and FNB United Corp. undertakes no obligation to update any statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

FNB United Corp. (“FNB United”) is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina in 1984. On July 2, 1985, through an exchange of stock, FNB United acquired a wholly owned subsidiary, CommunityONE Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), a national banking association founded in 1907 and formerly known as First National Bank and Trust Company. The Bank owns three subsidiaries: Dover Mortgage Company (“Dover”), First National Investor Services, Inc., and Premier Investment Services, Inc. Premier is inactive. Dover previously engaged in the business of originating, underwriting and closing mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market. All of its wholesale operations and its retail mortgage origination business for properties located outside of North Carolina were closed in February 2011. Dover ceased its remaining operations on March 17, 2011. Through the Bank, FNB United offers a complete line of consumer, mortgage and business banking services, including loan, deposit, cash management, investment management and trust services, to individual and business customers. The Bank has offices in Alamance, Alexander, Ashe, Catawba, Chatham, Gaston, Guilford, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Moore, Orange, Randolph, Richmond, Rowan, Scotland, Watauga and Wilkes counties in North Carolina.

General

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, prepared without audit, include the accounts of FNB United and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Descriptions of the organization and business of FNB United, accounting policies followed by the Company and other relevant information are contained in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by its Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K/A, including the notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of that report. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with that Annual Report.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments, all of which are normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

All financial information is reported on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion regarding discontinued operations and certain assets and liabilities at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. Management has reviewed events occurring through the date of this filing and has concluded that no subsequent events have occurred requiring accrual or disclosure in addition to that included herein. See Note 22 for additional information concerning subsequent events.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 or future periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been included.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated financial statements to place them on a comparable basis with the current period consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Risk and Uncertainties

In the normal course of business, the Company encounters two significant types of risk: economic and regulatory. There are three main components of economic risk: credit risk, market risk, and concentration of credit risk. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company’s loan and investment portfolios that results from borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk includes primarily interest rate risk. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different speeds, or different bases, than its interest-earning assets. Market risk also reflects the risk of declines in the valuation of assets and liabilities and in the value of the collateral underlying loans and the value of real estate held by the Company. Concentration of credit risk refers to the risk that, if the Company extends a significant portion of its total outstanding credit to borrowers in a specific geographical area or industry or on the security of a specific form of collateral, the Company may experience disproportionately high levels of defaults and losses if those borrowers, or the value of such type of collateral, are adversely affected by economic or other factors that are particularly applicable to such borrowers or collateral. Concentration of credit risk is also similarly applicable to the investment securities portfolio.

The Bank is subject to the regulations of various government agencies. These regulations may change significantly from period to period. The Bank also undergoes periodic examinations by regulatory agencies, which may subject the Bank to changes with respect to asset valuations, amount of required allowance for loan losses, lending requirements, capital levels, or operating restrictions.

2. Discontinued Operations

The results of operations of a component of an entity that has been disposed of shall be reported in discontinued operations if both the operations and cash flows of the component have been, or will be, eliminated from ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and the entity will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction.

All operations at Dover have been discontinued. Dover, acquired by FNB United in 2003, originated, underwrote and closed mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market. It maintained a retail origination network based in Charlotte, North Carolina, which originated loans for properties located in North Carolina. Dover also engaged in the wholesale mortgage origination business and conducted retail mortgage origination business outside of North Carolina. Operations outside of the State of North Carolina were discontinued in February 2011. On March 17, 2011, Dover discontinued all of its remaining operations.

In determining whether Dover met the conditions for a discontinued operation, the Company considered the relevant accounting guidance and concluded that the conditions were met during the first quarter 2011. The Company determined that Dover has discontinued operating activities and, as such, the assets and liabilities of Dover are presented as discontinued assets and discontinued liabilities and the results of operations directly related to Dover’s activity will be presented as discontinued operations for all periods. As a result, the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations for all periods reflect retrospective application of Dover’s classification as a discontinued operation.

Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations at the dates indicated were as follows:

As a result of the decision to discontinue operations at Dover, the Company reduced its employees from 68 positions at December 31, 2010 to one position as of June 30, 2011. Dover has one full-time equivalent employee remaining at June 30, 2011, who will continue to be employed by Dover as long as needed to assist Dover in completing any remaining business transactions. Dover concluded substantially all of its remaining business at June 30, 2011.

All financial information in the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements reflects continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

3. Regulatory Matters

Regulatory Actions

Consent Order

Due to the Bank’s condition, on July 22, 2010, pursuant to a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of a Consent Order, the Bank consented and agreed to the issuance of a Consent Order (“Order”) by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). In the Order, the Bank and the OCC agreed as to areas of the Bank’s operations that warrant improvement and a plan for making those improvements. The Order includes a capital directive, which requires the Bank to achieve and maintain minimum regulatory capital levels in excess of the statutory minimums to be well-capitalized, and a directive to develop a liquidity risk management and contingency funding plan, in connection with which the Bank could be subject to limitations on the maximum interest rates it can pay on deposit accounts. The Order also contains restrictions on future extensions of credit and requires the development of various programs and procedures to improve the Bank’s asset quality as well as routine reporting on the Bank’s progress toward compliance with the Order to the Board of Directors and the OCC. Specifically, the Order imposed the following requirements on the Bank:

•

to appoint a Compliance Committee to monitor and coordinate the Bank’s adherence to the Order.

•

to develop and submit to the OCC for review a written strategic plan covering at least a three-year period.

•

to achieve within 90 days and thereafter maintain total capital at least equal to 12% of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital at least equal to 9% of adjusted total assets.

•

to submit to the OCC within 60 days a written capital plan for the Bank covering at least a three-year period.

•

to develop, implement and ensure the Bank’s compliance with written programs to improve the Bank’s loan portfolio management and to reduce the high level of credit risk in the Bank.

•

to adopt and ensure implementation and adherence to an enhanced written commercial real estate concentration management program consistent with OCC guidelines.

•

to obtain current and complete credit information on all loans and ensure proper collateral documentation is maintained on all loans.

•

to develop and implement an independent review and analysis process to ensure that appraisals conform to appraisal standards and regulations.

•

to implement and adhere to a written program for the maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan losses, providing for review of the allowance by the Board of Directors at least quarterly.

•

to increase the Bank’s liquidity to a level sufficient to sustain the Bank’s current operations and to withstand any anticipated or extraordinary demand against its funding base.

•

to implement and maintain a comprehensive liquidity risk management program, assessing on an ongoing basis the Bank’s current and projected funding needs and ensuring that sufficient funds or access to funds exists to meet those needs.

•

to develop and implement a written program to strengthen internal controls over accounting and financial reporting.

The Order permits the OCC to extend the time periods under the Order upon written request. Any material failure to comply with the Order could result in further enforcement actions by the OCC. In addition, if the OCC does not accept the capital plan or the Bank fails to achieve and maintain the minimum capital levels, the OCC may require the Bank to sell, merge or liquidate the Bank.

The Bank has submitted all required materials and plans requested to the OCC within the given time periods. The Board of Directors submitted written strategic and capital plans to the OCC covering the requisite three-year period and has submitted a revised capital plan reflecting the terms and status of the recapitalization transaction described under Note 21, Capital Raise, Merger Agreement and Related Matters.

Written Agreement

On October 21, 2010, FNB United entered into a written agreement with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRBR”). Pursuant to the agreement, FNB United’s Board of Directors is to take appropriate steps to utilize fully FNB United’s financial and managerial resources to serve as a source of strength to the Bank, including causing the Bank to comply with the Order it entered into with the OCC on July 22, 2010.

In the agreement, FNB United agreed that it would not declare or pay any dividends without prior written approval of the FRBR and the Director of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Director”). It further agreed that it would not take dividends or any other form of payment representing a reduction in capital from the Bank without the FRBR’s prior written approval. The agreement also provides that neither FNB United nor any of its nonbank subsidiaries will make any distributions of interest, principal or other amounts on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities without the prior written approval of the FRBR and the Director.

The agreement further provides that neither FNB United nor any of its subsidiaries shall incur, increase or guarantee any debt without FRBR approval. In addition, FNB United must obtain the prior approval of the FRBR for the repurchase or redemption of its shares of stock.

Within 60 days from the date of the agreement, FNB United submitted to the FRBR a written plan to maintain sufficient capital at FNB United on a consolidated basis. Within 30 days of the agreement, FNB United submitted to the FRBR a statement of its planned sources and uses of cash for operating expenses and other purposes for 2011. FNB United is to submit such a cash flow projection for each subsequent calendar year by December of the preceding year.

The agreement permits the FRBR to grant written extensions of time for FNB United to comply with its provisions.

FNB United is to report to the FRBR quarterly regarding its progress in complying with the agreement. The provisions of the agreement will remain effective and enforceable until they are stayed, modified, terminated, or

suspended in writing by the FRBR. Further information about the written agreement is set forth in Note 22, Subsequent Events.

Capital Matters

The Order, as set forth above, requires the Bank to achieve and maintain Tier 1 capital of not less than 9% and total risk-based capital of not less than 12% for the life of the Order. The Bank has not achieved the required capital levels by the deadline imposed under the Order but is continuing to work to comply with the capital directive. The Bank is not “well capitalized” for capital adequacy purposes under the terms of the Order and may not be deemed so in the future, even if the Bank exceeds the levels of capital required under the Order.

The minimum capital requirements to be characterized as “well capitalized” and “adequately capitalized,” as defined by regulatory guidelines, the capital requirements pursuant to the Order, and the Company’s actual capital ratios on a consolidated and Bank-only basis were as follows as of June 30, 2011:


							Minimum Regulatory Requirement
	Consolidated			Bank			Adequately Capitalized			Well- Capitalized			Pursuant to Order
Total risk-based capital ratio		(10.73	)%		(6.15	)%		8.00	%		10.00	%		12.00	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio		(10.73	)%		(6.15	)%		4.00	%		6.00	%		9.00	%
Leverage capital ratio		(7.23	)%		(4.14	)%		4.00	%		5.00	%		9.00	%

The Bank became “critically undercapitalized” as of April 29, 2011, the date its March 31, 2011 Report of Condition and Income (“Call Report”) was required to be filed with the OCC, because it had a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that was below 2.0% as reported in the Call Report.

On April 26, 2011, FNB United entered into investment agreements with affiliates of The Carlyle Group (“Carlyle”) and Oak Hill Capital Partners (“Oak Hill Capital”) to recapitalize the Company, as well as a merger agreement with Bank of Granite Corporation. On June 16 and August 4, 2011, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various accredited investors pursuant to which those investors agreed to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in the recapitalization. Those subscription agreements, together with the investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital, account for $310 million in new capital for the Company. Details of the investment agreements, subscription agreements and merger agreements can be found in Note 21, Capital Raise, Merger Agreement and Related Matters and Note 22, Subsequent Events. The Bank has submitted a new capital plan to the OCC which reflects this recapitalization transaction. The successful completion of all or any portion of this revised capital plan is not assured, and no assurance can be made that this capital plan will not be materially modified in the future. Completion of the plan is contingent on obtaining shareholder and regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other conditions. Issuance of the common stock at $0.16 per share will complete the recapitalization of FNB United, which is a key contingency in its plan to acquire Bank of Granite Corporation, parent company of Bank of Granite.

On June 10, 2011, the Company received a written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market of the Nasdaq staff’s determination that the Company had not provided a definitive plan evidencing its ability to achieve near-term compliance with all of the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market and, in particular, Rule 5550(a)(2), the bid price rule, and Rule 5550(b), the stockholders’ equity rule. Accordingly, unless the Company requested an appeal of this staff determination, trading of the Company’s common stock would have been suspended at the opening of business on June 21, 2011, and a Form 25-NSE would have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, removing the Company’s common stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company did appeal the Nasdaq staff’s determination and the appeal is in process.

Current federal law requires federal bank regulators to have a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. Under this system, the federal banking regulators have established five capital categories (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized), are required to take certain mandatory supervisory actions, and are authorized to take other discretionary actions, with respect to institutions in the three undercapitalized categories. The severity of the action will depend upon the capital category in which the institution is placed. Generally, subject to a narrow exception, the banking regulator must appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically undercapitalized.

The federal banking agencies have specified by regulation the relevant capital level for each category as follows: (1) “Well Capitalized,” consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater and which are not operating under

an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive; (2) “Adequately Capitalized,” consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital of 4.0% or greater and a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater and which do not meet the definition of a “Well Capitalized” institution; (3) “Undercapitalized,” consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4.0%, or a leverage ratio of less than 4.0%; (4) “Significantly Undercapitalized,” consisting of institutions with a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3.0%; and (5) “Critically Undercapitalized,” consisting of institutions with a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.

An institution that is categorized as undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized is required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to its appropriate federal banking agency. A bank holding company must guarantee that a subsidiary depository institution meet its capital restoration plan, subject to certain limitations. The controlling holding company’s obligation to fund a capital restoration plan is limited to the lesser of 5.0% of an undercapitalized subsidiary’s assets or the amount required to meet regulatory capital requirements. An undercapitalized institution is also generally prohibited from increasing its average total assets, making acquisitions, establishing any branches or engaging in any new line of business, except under an accepted capital restoration plan or with FDIC approval. In addition, the appropriate federal banking agency may treat an undercapitalized institution in the same manner as it treats a significantly undercapitalized institution if it determines that those actions are necessary.

Not later than 90 days after an institution becomes critically undercapitalized, the institution’s primary federal bank regulatory agency must appoint a receiver or a conservator, unless the agency, with the concurrence of the FDIC, determines that the purposes of the prompt corrective action provisions would be better served by another course of action. Any alternative determination must be documented by the agency and reassessed on a periodic basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a receiver must be appointed after 270 days unless the FDIC determines that the institution has positive net worth, is in compliance with a capital plan, is profitable or has a sustainable upward trend in earnings, and is reducing its ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans, and unless the head of the appropriate federal banking agency and the chairperson of the FDIC certify that the institution is viable and not expected to fail.

4. Going Concern Considerations and Management’s Plans and Intentions

Going Concern Considerations

The going concern assumption is a fundamental principle in the preparation of financial statements. It is the responsibility of management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In making this assessment, the Company has taken into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but is not limited to, twelve months from the balance sheet date of June 30, 2011. The Company had a history of profitable operations and sufficient sources of liquidity to meet its short-term and long-term funding needs. However, the Bank’s financial condition has suffered during 2009, 2010 and the first six months of 2011 in what may ultimately be the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.

The effects of the current economic environment are being felt across many industries, with financial services and real estate being particularly hard-hit, and have been particularly severe during the last 30 months. The Bank, with a loan portfolio consisting of a concentration in commercial real estate loans, including residential construction and development loans, has seen a decline in the value of the collateral securing its portfolio as well as rapid deterioration in its borrowers’ cash flow and ability to repay their outstanding loans to the Bank. For the first six months of 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Bank recorded provisions of $53.8 million and $132.8 million, respectively, to increase the allowance for loan losses to a level that, in management’s best judgment, adequately reflected the increased risk inherent in the loan portfolio as of the quarter-end and year-end periods, respectively.

FNB United and the Bank operate in a highly regulated industry and must plan for the liquidity needs of each entity separately. A variety of sources of liquidity are available to the Bank to meet its short-term and long-term funding needs. Although a number of these sources are limited following execution of the Order with the OCC, management has prepared forecasts of the Bank’s sources of funds and projected uses of funds for a three-year period in an effort to ensure that the sources available are sufficient to meet the Bank’s projected liquidity needs.

FNB United is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank and has in the past relied on dividends from the Bank as its primary source of liquidity. The Order and the Written Agreement, as well as the Prompt Correction Action provisions of federal law, prohibit the Bank from lending or otherwise supplying funds to FNB United to meet its obligations, including paying any dividends.

The Company is in the process of raising capital to meet the standards set forth in applicable law and required by the OCC. As a result of the downturn in the financial markets, the availability of many sources of capital (principally to financial services companies) has become significantly restricted or has become increasingly costly as compared to market rates prevailing prior to the downturn. On April 26, 2011, FNB United entered into investment agreements with The Carlyle Group and Oak Hill Capital Partners to recapitalize the Company, as well as a merger agreement with Bank of Granite Corporation. On June 16 and August 4, 2011, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various accredited investors for the purchase and sale of its common stock. Together, the investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital and the subscription agreements contemplate the issuance of $310 million of common stock of the Company at $0.16 per share. Details of the investment agreements, the subscription agreements and the merger agreement can be found in Note 21, Capital Raise, Merger Agreement and Related Matters and Note 22, Subsequent Events. Management also is actively evaluating asset reductions and other balance sheet management strategies to ensure that the Bank’s projected level of regulatory capital can support its balance sheet.

Completion of the recapitalization, including the sale of common stock to The Carlyle Group and Oak Hill Capital Partners and the other investors, is subject to various conditions, certain of which are outside of the Company’s control and may not be satisfied. The closing conditions to the recapitalization include receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. No assurance can be given that all conditions will be satisfied timely or at all. If the Company fails to consummate the recapitalization, it is expected it will not be able to continue as a going concern, it may file for bankruptcy and the Bank may be placed into FDIC receivership. The equity financing transaction, if completed, will result in substantial dilution to the Company’s current shareholders and could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock. It is difficult to predict if the recapitalization efforts will be successful, either on a short-term or long-term basis.

The perception or possibility that FNB United’s common stock could be delisted from the Nasdaq in the future could negatively affect its liquidity and price. Delisting would have an adverse effect on the liquidity of the common shares and, as a result, the market price for the common stock might become more volatile. Delisting could also make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional capital.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability or classification of assets.

Management’s Plans and Intentions

The Company incurred significant net losses in 2009, which continued in 2010 and 2011, primarily from the higher provisions for loan losses due to the significant level of nonperforming assets and the write-off of goodwill. The Bank consented and agreed to the issuance of the Consent Order (“Order”) by the OCC in July 2010 and FNB United entered into a written agreement with the FRBR in October 2010. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm issued a report with respect to the Company’s audited financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, which contained an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The following strategies have been or are being implemented:

Held-to-Maturity Investment Securities Reclassification – As part of the Bank’s contingency funding plan, the Bank’s Board of Directors approved in April 2010 the reclassification of the entire held-to-maturity investment securities portfolio to available-for-sale investment securities. The conversion of the portfolio occurred on May 3, 2010 and provides additional liquidity to the Bank. The transfer resulted in the unrealized holding gains of $2.1 million, net of tax, at the date of transfer being recognized in other comprehensive income. The corresponding deferred tax on the unrealized holding gain allowed the Bank to realize a one-time reduction in deferred tax valuation allowance of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2010.

Deferring Preferred Stock and Trust Preferred Securities Payments – The Company began deferring the payment of cash dividends on its outstanding Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, beginning in the second quarter 2010, as well as the payment of interest on the outstanding junior subordinated notes related to its trust preferred securities to enhance the Company’s liquidity. The expense associated with trust preferred securities continues to accrue and is reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The dividends on preferred stock are shown as an increase to net loss to derive net loss available to common shareholders in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Balance Sheet Reductions – Management is implementing strategies to improve capital ratios through the reduction of assets and off-balance sheet commitments. At June 30, 2011, risk-weighted assets have been reduced by $233.2 million since December 31, 2010. Reductions occurred primarily in reductions in the commercial loan portfolio. On December 30, 2010, the Bank sold $32.9 million of mortgage loans held for investment and recognized a net gain of $383,000, including transaction costs. Management expects future reductions in risk-weighted assets to be moderate and occur primarily in the loan portfolio. To offset the majority of asset reductions, liabilities declined primarily through reductions in deposits by $91.4 million. Future liability reductions are expected to occur primarily in deposits, largely public unit deposits and high-rate NOW accounts and certificates of deposits.

Earnings – On June 22, 2010, the Bank retired $33.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and paid an early redemption penalty of $1.0 million to the FHLB for the retirement of these advances. The penalty is included in other noninterest expenses. On July 2, 2010, the Bank purchased $30.0 million in brokered certificates of deposit to replace these funds. The advances had a remaining average life of 1.0 years and an average interest rate of 3.93%. The brokered certificates of deposit have maturities ranging from 30 months to 42 months with interest rates ranging from 1.75% to 2.20%. As a result of this transaction, the interest expense savings during the first year is estimated at an annualized rate of 1.94% on the $30.0 million restructured.

Stimulus Loan Program – The Bank implemented in 2009 a stimulus loan program to facilitate the sale of residential real estate held as collateral for some of the Bank’s nonperforming and performing loans and certain Bank-owned properties. The purpose of the program was to reduce the Bank’s credit concentrations and nonperforming assets by providing attractive terms that both filled the mortgage lending void created by the ongoing recession and incented potential buyers to purchase real estate. The Bank offered a reduced interest rate to qualified new borrowers to encourage them to purchase properties in this program. New borrowers qualified according to the Bank’s normal consumer and mortgage underwriting standards. The Bank recorded these loans at fair value at time of issue. Existing unimpaired development loans that become part of the program are considered impaired upon inclusion in the stimulus loan program. The Bank currently has $41.6 million in loans under the stimulus loan program, of which $15.2 million required a fair value adjustment of $92,700 as of June 30, 2011. The fair value adjustment is recorded as a reduction of the outstanding loan balance on the balance sheet and accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the loan. The Bank discontinued the stimulus loan program and booked the last stimulus loan during the first quarter of 2011. The Company will continue to report stimulus loan information, as indicated above, through the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2011.

Additional Capital – The Company has engaged two investment banking firms to assist the Company in identifying strategic alternatives and in raising capital. On April 26, 2011, FNB United entered into investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital to recapitalize the Company, as well as a merger agreement with Bank of Granite Corporation. On June 16 and August 4, 2011, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various accredited investors pursuant to which those investors agreed to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in the recapitalization. Those subscription agreements, together with the investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital, account for $310 million in new capital for the Company. Details of the investment agreements, the subscription agreements and the merger agreement can be found in Note 21, Capital Raise, Merger Agreement and Related Matters and Note 22, Subsequent Events. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to complete the investments. The successful completion of all or any portion of the capital plan is not assured, and no assurance can be made that the capital plan will not be materially modified in the future. If the Company is not able to complete the capital plan, its regulatory capital ratios may be materially and adversely affected and its ability to withstand continued adverse economic conditions could be threatened. Further, it is likely that the Company would suffer additional regulatory actions, including a potential federal conservatorship or receivership for the Bank, or a requirement that the Bank sell or transfer its assets or take other action that would likely result in a complete loss of the value of FNB United’s ownership interest in the Bank and a complete loss of the value of the shares held by the FNB United shareholders. Further information relating to the capital raise is set forth in Note 21, Capital Raise, Merger Agreement and Related Matters and Note 22, Subsequent Events.

5. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include the balance sheet captions: cash and due from banks and interest-bearing bank balances.

The Bank maintains its excess liquidity with the Federal Reserve to reduce credit risks associated with selling those funds to correspondent banks. For the foreseeable future, the Bank is intentionally maintaining these higher cash balances to provide liquidity. Assuming that the Company is successful in raising capital and once the banking industry returns to a more stable operating environment, the Bank plans to reinvest these cash reserves in higher yielding assets.

6. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of an enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and, accordingly, includes both net income and amounts referred to as other comprehensive income. The items of other comprehensive income are included in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Loss. The accumulated other comprehensive loss is included in the shareholders’ equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s components of accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2011 include unrealized gains/(losses) on investment securities classified as available-for-sale and changes in the value of the pension and post-retirement liability.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, total comprehensive loss was $(89.9) million and $(24.6) million, respectively. The deferred income tax (liability)/benefit related to the components of other comprehensive loss amounted to $1.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for the same periods as previously mentioned.

The accumulated balances related to each component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) are as follows:

7. Earnings Per Share

Basic net loss per share, or basic earnings/(loss) per share (“EPS”), is computed by dividing net loss to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. For the first six months of 2011, the Company paid no dividends on its Series A preferred stock and had $0.4 million accretion of the discount on the preferred stock. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $3.5 million of unpaid cumulative dividends on the Series A preferred stock. For the first six months of 2010, the Company accrued or paid dividends of approximately $1.3 million on Series A preferred stock, which combined with the $0.3 million accretion of the discount on the preferred stock, increased the net loss to common shareholders by $1.6 million. At June 30, 2011, the Company had $0.4 million of unpaid cumulative dividends on the SunTrust preferred stock.

Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the Company’s potential common stock, which consists of dilutive stock options and a common stock warrant, were issued. As required for entities with complex capital structures, a dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS is included on the face of the income statement, and a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation is provided in this note.

Due to a net loss for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, all stock options and the common stock warrant were considered antidilutive and thus are not included in this calculation. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, there were 2,741,868 and 2,741,952 antidilutive shares, respectively. Additionally, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, there were 2,741,868 and 2,741,952 antidilutive shares, respectively. Of the antidilutive shares, the number of shares relating to stock options were 534,725 at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Net loss available for common shareholders was decreased in the three- and six-month period ending June 30, 2011 by $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for preferred stock dividends. Net loss available for common shareholders was decreased in the three- and six-month period ending June 30, 2010 by $0.8 million and $1.6 million, for preferred stock dividends. Accretion on the preferred stock discount associated with the preferred stock of $190,500 and $377,800 was reflected for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $178,100 and $353,200 for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

8. Investment Securities

The primary objective of the Company’s management of the investment portfolio is to maintain a portfolio of high quality, highly liquid investments yielding competitive returns. The Company is required under federal regulations to maintain adequate liquidity to ensure safe and sound operations. The Company maintains investment balances based on a continuing assessment of cash flows, the level of loan production, current interest rate risk strategies and the assessment of the potential future direction of market interest rate changes. Investment securities differ in terms of default, interest rate, liquidity and expected rate of return risk.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost and estimated fair value of available-for-sale investment securities and presents the related gross unrealized gains and losses:

The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, is required to own capital stock in the FHLB of Atlanta based generally upon the balances of total assets and FHLB advances. FHLB capital stock is pledged to secure FHLB advances. This investment is carried at cost since no ready market exists for FHLB stock and there is no quoted market value. However, redemption of this stock has historically been at par value. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Bank owned a total of $10.8 million and $11.5 million of FHLB stock, respectively. Due to the redemption provisions of FHLB stock, the Company estimated that fair value approximated cost and that this investment was not impaired at June 30, 2011. FHLB stock is included in other assets at its original cost basis.

The Company’s policy is to review for impairment of such assets at the end of each reporting period. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, FHLB paid a quarterly dividend. At June 30, 2011, FHLB was in compliance with all of its regulatory capital requirements. Based on the Company’s review, the Company believes that as of June 30, 2011, its FHLB stock was not impaired.

The Bank, as a member bank of the FRB of Richmond (“FRBR”), is required to own capital stock of the FRBR based upon a percentage of the Bank’s common stock and surplus. This investment is carried at cost since no ready

market exists for FRBR stock and there is no quoted market value. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Bank owned a total of $1.2 million and $3.8 million of FRBR stock, respectively. Due to the nature of this investment in an entity of the U.S. Government, the Company estimated that fair value approximated the cost and that this investment was not impaired at June 30, 2011. FRBR stock is included in other assets at its original cost basis.

At June 30, 2011, $158.1 million of the investment securities portfolio was pledged to secure public deposits, including retail repurchase agreements, $26.6 million was pledged to the FRBR and $6.0 million was pledged to others, leaving $189.9 million available as lendable collateral.

At December 31, 2010, $168.1 million of the investment securities portfolio was pledged to secure public deposits, including retail repurchase agreements, $27.6 million was pledged to the FRBR and $7.5 million was pledged to others, leaving $102.2 million available as lendable collateral.

The following tables show investments’ gross unrealized losses and estimated fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. All unrealized losses on investment securities are considered by management to be temporarily impaired given the credit ratings on these investment securities or the short duration of the unrealized loss or both.

At June 30, 2011, 18 available-for-sale securities were in an unrealized loss position less than 12 months compared to 29 at December 31, 2010. At June 30, 2011, the Company had three available-for-sale securities that were in an unrealized loss position for longer than 12 months. At December 31, 2010, the Company had no available-for-sale securities that were in an unrealized loss position for longer than 12 months.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance for evaluating other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on debt securities in April 2009. If an entity intends to sell a debt security or cannot assert it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the security before recovery, OTTI must be taken. If the entity does not intend to sell the debt security before recovery, but the entity does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, then OTTI must be taken, but the amount of impairment is to be bifurcated between impairment due to credit (which is recorded through earnings) and noncredit impairment (which becomes a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) for both available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities). For held-to-maturity securities, the amount in OCI will be amortized prospectively over the security’s remaining life. The Bank did not have any OTTI during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

The Bank had no securities below investment grade and one security not rated, which is considered immaterial. As of June 30, 2011, no securities were identified as other-than-temporarily impaired based on credit issues.

The aggregate amortized cost and fair value of securities at June 30, 2011, by remaining contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations.

9. Loans

Loans are stated at the principal amounts outstanding adjusted for purchase premiums/discounts, deferred net loan fees and costs, and unearned income. Classes are generally disaggregations of a portfolio segment. The Company’s portfolio segments are: Commercial and agricultural, Real estate - construction, Real estate - residential, Real estate – commercial and other consumer loans. The classes within the Commercial and agricultural portfolio are: owner occupied and non-owner occupied. The classes within the Real estate -construction portfolio are: Retail properties, Multi-family, Industrial and Warehouse, and Other commercial real estate. The classes within the Real estate - residential portfolio are: first-lien and second-lien loans and home equity lines of credit. The other consumer loan portfolios are not further segregated into classes.

Loan fees and the incremental direct costs associated with making loans are deferred and subsequently recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment of interest income. The premium or discount on purchased loans is amortized over the expected life of the loans and is included in interest and fees on loans.

The majority of residential mortgage loans held for sale are valued at the lower of cost or market as determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements, calculated on the aggregate loan basis. A portion of loans held for sale are hedged to take advantage of interest rate locks and changes in the market. These loans are carried at fair value.

The following summary sets forth the major categories of loans.


(dollars in thousands)	At June 30, 2011				At December 31, 2010
Loans held for investment:
Commercial and agricultural	$	67,654	6.6	%	$	93,747	7.2	%
Real estate-construction		166,783	16.4			276,976	21.2
Real estate-mortgage:

Commercial		360,477	35.4			494,861	38.0
Consumer		45,753	4.5			49,532	3.8

Total loans	$	1,018,274	100.0	%	$	1,303,975	100.0	%

Loans included in the preceding loan composition table are net of participations sold. Loans as presented are reduced by net deferred loan fees of $32,000 and $26,000 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Mortgage loans serviced for others are not included in the consolidated balance sheet. The unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others amounted to $787,400 at June 30, 2011 and $493.7 million at December 31, 2010.

In accordance with instructions from Fannie Mae, the Bank entered into an agreement on December 29, 2010 to sell mortgage servicing rights on approximately $492.9 million of Fannie Mae loans and recognized a loss of $3.0 million, including transaction costs. The Bank continued to service these loans until January 31, 2011.

To borrow from the FHLB, members must pledge collateral to secure advances and letters of credit. Acceptable collateral includes, among other types of collateral, a variety of residential, multifamily, home equity lines and second mortgages, and commercial loans. Gross loans of $416.7 million and $468.4 million were pledged to collateralize FHLB advances and letters of credit at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, of which there was no availability for borrowing capacity at either period. At June 30, 2011, $33.5 million of loans and $25.3

million of securities were pledged to collateralize potential borrowings from the Federal Reserve Discount Window, of which $24.1 million was available as borrowing capacity.

The Bank implemented in 2009 a stimulus loan program to facilitate the sale of residential real estate held as collateral for some of the Bank’s nonperforming and performing loans and certain Bank-owned properties. The purpose of the program was to reduce the Bank’s credit concentrations and nonperforming assets by providing attractive terms that both filled the mortgage lending void created by the ongoing recession and incented potential buyers to purchase real estate. The Bank offered a reduced interest rate to qualified new borrowers to encourage them to purchase properties in this program. New borrowers qualified according to the Bank’s normal consumer and mortgage underwriting standards. The Bank recorded these loans at fair value at time of issue. Existing unimpaired development loans that become part of the program were considered impaired upon inclusion in the stimulus loan program. The Bank discontinued the program, and the last stimulus loan was booked, in the first quarter of 2011. The Bank currently has $41.6 million in loans under the stimulus loan program, of which, $15.2 million required a fair value adjustment of $92,700 as of June 30, 2011. The fair value adjustment is recorded as a reduction of the outstanding loan balance on the balance sheet and accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the loan. The Company will continue to report stimulus loan information, as indicated above, through the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2011.

Interest income on loans is generally calculated by using the interest method based on the daily outstanding balance. The recognition of interest income is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the collection of all or a portion of interest becomes doubtful. Loans are returned to accrual status when the factors indicating doubtful collectibility cease to exist and the loan has performed in accordance with its terms for a demonstrated period of time. The past due status of loans is based on the contractual payment terms. Had nonaccruing loans been on accruing status, interest income would have been higher by $3.5 million and $7.6 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Bank had certain impaired loans of $207.9 million and $325.1 million, respectively, which were on nonaccruing interest status.

The following is a summary of nonperforming assets for the periods ended as presented.


(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Loans on nonaccrual status:
Held for sale	$	9,450	$	—
Held for investment		198,439		325,068
Loans more than 90 days delinquent, still on accrual		—		4,818
Real estate owned/repossessed assets		101,531		62,196
Assets of discontinued operations		—		168

Total nonperforming assets	$	309,420	$	392,250

An impaired loan is one for which the Bank will not be repaid all principal and interest due per the terms of the original contract or within reasonably modified contracted terms. If the loan has been modified to provide relief to the borrower, the loan is deemed to be impaired if all principal and interest will not be repaid according to the original contract. All loans meeting the definition of Doubtful should be considered impaired.

When a loan in any class has been determined to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When the present value of expected future cash flows is used, the effective interest rate is the original contractual interest rate of the loan adjusted for any premium or discount. When the contractual interest rate is variable, the effective interest rate of the loan changes over time. A specific reserve is established as a component of the Allowance for Loan Losses when a loan has been determined to be impaired. Subsequent to the initial measurement of impairment, if there is a significant change to the impaired loan’s expected future cash flows, or if actual cash flows are significantly different from the cash flows previously estimated, the Bank recalculates the impairment and appropriately adjusts the specific reserve. Similarly, if the Bank measures impairment based on the observable market price of an impaired loan or the fair value of the collateral of an impaired collateral-dependent loan, the Bank will adjust the specific reserve if there is a significant change in either of those bases.

When a loan within any class is impaired, interest income is recognized unless the receipt of principal and interest is in doubt when contractually due. If receipt of principal and interest is in doubt when contractually due, interest income is not recognized. Cash receipts received on nonaccruing impaired loans within any class are generally applied entirely against principal until the loan has been collected in full, after which time any additional cash

receipts are recognized as interest income. Cash receipts received on accruing impaired loans within any class are applied in the same manner as accruing loans that are not considered impaired.

The following table summarizes information relative to impaired loans at the dates and for the periods indicated.

Average impaired loans calculated using a simple average	$	291,741			$	355,131

*	Included at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $1.8 million and $6.5 million, respectively, in restructured and performing loans.

Impaired loans also include loans for which the Bank may elect to grant a concession, providing terms more favorable than those prevalent in the market (e.g., rate, amortization term), and formally restructure due to the weakening credit status of a borrower. Restructuring is designed to facilitate a repayment plan that minimizes the potential losses that the Bank otherwise may have to incur. If these impaired loans are on nonaccruing status as of the date of restructuring, the loans are included in nonperforming loans. Nonperforming restructured loans will remain as nonperforming until the borrower can demonstrate adherence to the restructured terms for a period of no less than six months or when it is otherwise determined that continued adherence is reasonably assured. Some restructured loans continue as accruing loans after restructuring due to the borrower’s not being past due at the time of restructuring, adequate collateral valuations supporting the restructured loans, and the cash flows of the underlying business appearing adequate to support the restructured debt service. Not included in nonperforming loans are loans that have been restructured that were performing as of the restructure date. At June 30, 2011, there was $80.4 million in restructured loans, of which $1.8 million in loans were accruing and in a performing status. At December 31, 2010, there was $146.5 million in restructured loans, of which loans amounting to $6.5 million were accruing and in a performing status.

All loan classes are considered past due when the contractual amounts due with respect to principal and interest are not received within 30 days of the contractual due date. When the Bank cannot reasonably expect full and timely repayment of its loan, the loan is placed on nonaccrual. The Bank may calculate forgone interest on a monthly basis, but does not recognize the income.

All loan classes on which principal or interest is in default for 90 days or more are put on nonaccrual status, unless there is sufficient documentation to conclude that the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. A debt is “well-secured” if collateralized by liens on or pledges of real or personal property, including securities, that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt in full; or by the guarantee of a financially responsible party. A debt is “in process of collection” if collection is proceeding in due course either through legal action, including judgment enforcement procedures, or, in appropriate circumstances, through collection efforts not involving legal action that are reasonably expected to result in repayment of the debt or its restoration to a current status.

Loans that are less delinquent may also be placed on nonaccrual if approved due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower that increases the possibility of less than full repayment.

For all loan classes a nonaccrual loan may be returned to accrual status when the Bank can reasonably expect continued timely payments until payment in full. All prior arrearage does not have to be eliminated, nor do all previously charged-off amounts need to have been recovered, but the loan can still be returned to accrual status if the following conditions are met: (1) all principal and interest amounts contractually due (including arrearage) are reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable period; and (2) there is a sustained period of repayment performance (generally a minimum of six months) by the borrower, in accordance with the contractual terms involving payments of cash or cash equivalents.

At the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual, all accrued, unpaid interest is charged-off, unless it is documented that repayment of all principal and presently accrued but unpaid interest is probable. Charge-offs of accrued and unpaid interest must be against the current year’s interest income; it cannot be charged to the current Allowance for Loan Losses.

For all classes within all loan portfolios, cash receipts received on nonaccrual loans are applied entirely against principal until the loan or lease has been collected in full, after which time any additional cash receipts are recognized as interest income.

For all loan classes, as soon as any loan becomes uncollectible, the loan will be charged down or charged off as follows:

•

If unsecured, the loan must be charged off in full.

•

If secured, the outstanding principal balance of the loan should be charged down to the net liquidation value of the collateral.

Loans should be considered uncollectible when:

•

No regularly scheduled payment has been made within four months and the determination is made that any further payment is unlikely, or

•

The loan is unsecured, the borrower files for bankruptcy protection and there is no other (guarantor, etc.) support from an entity outside of the bankruptcy proceedings.

Based on a variety of credit, collateral and documentation issues, loans with lesser degrees of delinquency or obvious loss may also be deemed uncollectible.

Potential problem loans that are not included in nonperforming assets are classified separately within the Bank’s portfolio as Special Mention and carry a risk grade rating of “6.” These loans are defined as those with potential weaknesses that may affect repayment capacity but do not pose sufficient risk as to require an adverse classification. As of June 30, 2011, the balance of such loans was $85.7 million compared with a balance of $130.8 million as of December 31, 2010.

10. Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”), which is utilized to absorb actual losses in the loan portfolio, is maintained at a level consistent with management’s best estimate of probable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. The Company’s allowance for loan losses is also assessed quarterly by management. This assessment includes a methodology that separates the total loan portfolio into homogeneous loan classifications for purposes of evaluating risk. The required allowance is calculated by applying a risk adjusted reserve requirement to the dollar volume of loans within a homogenous group. The Company has grouped its loans into pools according to the loan segmentation regime employed on schedule RC-C of the FFIEC’s Consolidated Report of Condition and Income. Major loan portfolio subgroups include: risk graded commercial loans, mortgage loans, home equity loans, retail loans and retail credit lines. Management also analyzes the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis to evaluate current risk levels, and risk grades are adjusted accordingly. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments may be necessary, if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used.

For all loan classes management applies two primary components during the loan review process to determine proper allowance levels. The two components are a specific loan loss allocation for loans that are deemed impaired and a general loan loss allocation for those loans not specifically allocated. The methodology to analyze the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is as follows:

•

identification of specific impaired loans by loan category;

•

specific loans that could have potential loss;

•

calculation of specific allowances where required for the impaired loans based on collateral and other objective and quantifiable evidence;

•

determination of homogenous pools by loan category and risk grade, reduced by the impaired loans;

•

application of historical loss percentages to pools to determine the allowance allocation; and

•

application of qualitative and environmental (Q&E) factor adjustment percentages to historical losses for trends or changes in the loan portfolio.

The reserve for unfunded commitments is calculated by determining the type of commitment and the remaining unfunded commitment for each loan. Based on the type of commitment, an expected usage percentage to the remaining unfunded balance is applied. The expected usage percentage is multiplied by the historical losses and Q&E factors for each loans pool as defined in the regular Allowance for Loan Loss calculation to determine the appropriate level of reserve. The expected usage percentages for each commitment type are as follows:

•

Construction draws – 100%

•

Equity lines of credit – 50%

•

Letters of Credit – 10%

Historical Loss Rates: Historical loss data has been catalogued by the Company for each pool. The risk-graded pool to which the loss is assigned is the risk-grade assigned to the loan at the quarter end, four quarters earlier. Historical loss recoveries are similarly entered, if significant and applied against the nonclassified pools according to the Call Report designations of the loans originally charged. Historical loss data is also used to estimate the loss horizon for each pool.

Q&E Loss Factors: The methodology incorporates various internal and external qualitative and environmental factors as described in the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses dated December 2006. Input for these factors is determined on the basis of management observation, judgment, and experience. The factors utilized by the Company for all loan classes are as follows:

Standard – Accounts for inherent uncertainty in using the past as a predictor of the future. Uniform across all segments.

Volume – Accounts for historical growth characteristics of the portfolio over the loss recognition period.

Terms – Measures risk derived from granting terms outside of policy and underwriting guidelines.

Staff – Reflects staff competence in various types of lending.

Delinquency – Reflects increased risk deriving from higher delinquency rates.

Nonaccrual – Reflects increased risk of loans with characteristics that merit nonaccrual status.

Migration – Accounts for the changing level of risk inherent in loans as they migrate into, or away from, more adverse risk grades.

Concentration – Measures increased risk derived from concentration of credit exposure in particular industry segments within the portfolio.

Production – Measures impact of anticipated growth and potential risk derived from new loan production.

Process – Measures increased risk derived from more demanding processing requirements directed towards risk mitigation.

Economic – Impact of general and local economic factors are the largest single factor affecting portfolio risk and effect is felt uniformly across pools.

Competition – Measures risk associated with bank’s potential response to competitors’ relaxed credit requirements.

Regulatory and Legal – Measures risk from exposure to regulations, legislation, and legal code that result in increased risk of loss.

Each pool is assigned an “additional” potential loss percentage by assessing its characteristics against each of the factors listed above.

Calculation and Summary: A general reserve amount for each loan pool is calculated by adding the historical loss rate to the total Q&E factors, and applying the combined percentage to the pool loan balances.

Reserves are generally divided into three allocation segments:

Individual Reserves. Individual reserves are calculated against loans evaluated individually and deemed most likely to be impaired. Management determines which loans will be considered for potential impairment review. This does not mean that an individual reserve will necessarily be calculated for each loan considered for impairment, only for those noted during this process as likely to be potentially impaired. Loans to be considered will generally include:

•

All commercial loans classified substandard or worse

•

Any other loan in a nonaccrual status

•

Any loan, consumer or commercial, that has already been modified such that it meets the definition of Troubled Debt Restructure (“TDR”)

The individual reserve must be verified at least quarterly, and recalculated whenever additional relevant information becomes available. All information related to the calculation of the individual reserve, including internal or external collateral valuations, assumptions, calculations, etc. must be documented. Assigning an individual reserve based on rough estimates or unsupported conclusions is not permitted.

Individual reserve amounts may not be carried indefinitely.

•

When the amount of the actual loss becomes reasonably quantifiable, the amount of the loss should be charged off against the ALLL, whether or not all liquidation and recovery efforts have been completed.

•

If the total amount of the individual reserve that will eventually be charged off cannot yet be determined, but some portion of the individual reserve can be viewed as an imminent loss, that smaller portion should be charged off against the ALLL and the individual reserve reduced by a corresponding amount. It is acceptable to retain an estimate of remaining loss as a “special reserve” only when the estimate is not reasonably quantifiable.

Formula Reserves. Formula reserves are held against loans evaluated collectively. Loans are grouped by type or by risk grade, or some combination of the two. Loss estimates are based on historical loss rates for each respective loan group, adjusted for appropriate environmental factors established by the Bank. These factors should include:

•

Levels and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans

•

Estimated effects of changes to underwriting standards, lending policies, etc.

•

Experience, depth and ability of lending management and other relevant staff

•

National and local economic trends and conditions

•

Effects of changes in credit concentrations

Formula reserves represent the Bank’s best estimate of losses that may be inherent, or embedded, within the group of loans, even if it is not apparent at this time which loans within any group or pool represent those embedded losses.

Unallocated Reserves. If individual reserves represent estimated losses tied to any specific loan and formula reserves represent estimated losses tied to a pool of loans but not yet to any specific loan, then unallocated reserves represent an estimate of losses that are expected, but are not yet tied to any loan or group of loans. Unallocated reserves are generally the smallest of the three overall reserve segments and are set based on qualitative factors.

All information related to the calculation of the three segments including data analysis, assumptions, calculations, etc. are documented. Assigning specific individual reserve amounts, formula reserve factors, or unallocated reserve amounts based on unsupported assumptions or conclusions is not permitted.

The Bank lends primarily in North Carolina. As of June 30, 2011, a substantial majority of the principal amount of the loans held for investment in its portfolio was to businesses and individuals in North Carolina. This geographic concentration subjects the loan portfolio to the general economic conditions within this area. The risks created by this concentration have been considered by management in the determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover estimated losses on loans at each balance sheet date.

During the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 2011, the Bank charged-off $45.7 million and $91.6 million in loans, respectively. The majority of the loans that were charged-off were loans that had been in impairment status for more than six months and had specific reserves assigned to them in prior periods. Due to these loans having specific reserves assigned to the outstanding balance of the loan, it was not necessary for the Bank to have a provision greater than the charge-off value in the second quarter of 2011. The Bank also noted positive trends in the loan portfolio during the second quarter of 2011 that included reductions in: nonaccruing loans of $117.2 million, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing of $4.8 million, loans 30-89 days past due of $57.1 million, and classified loans of $151.4 million. These improvements over December 31, 2010 were considered in the analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss at June 30, 2011.

An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses is as follows:


(dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Excludes discontinued operations.

The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of loans held for investment, amounted to 5.83% at June 30, 2011, compared to 4.58% at June 30, 2010. At December 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of loans held for investment, was 7.18%.

The credit quality indicator presented for all classes within the loan portfolio is a widely used and standard system representing the degree of risk of nonpayment. The risk-grade categories presented in the following table are:

Pass - Loans categorized as Pass are higher quality loans that have adequate sources of repayment and little risk of collection.

Special Mention - A Special Mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard - A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of Substandard loans, does not have to exist in individual assets classified Substandard.

Doubtful - A loan classified as Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors, which may work to the advantage of strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral and refinancing plans.

Loans categorized as Special Mention are considered Criticized. Loans categorized as Substandard or Doubtful are considered Classified.

12. Other Real Estate Owned and Property Acquired in Settlement of Loans

Other real estate represents properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof. The property is classified as held for sale. The property is initially carried at fair value based on recent appraisals, less estimated costs to sell. Declines in the fair value of properties included in other real estate below carrying value are recognized by a charge to income.

The following table summarizes properties acquired in settlement of loans and personal property acquired in settlement of loans, the latter of which is included within the other assets financial statement line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the periods indicated.

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, the Bank received proceeds of $8.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively, in total sales of property acquired in settlement of loans. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, the Bank received proceeds of $2.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively, in total sales of property acquired in settlement of loans. At June 30, 2011, six assets with a net carrying amount of $13.8 million were under contract for sale and are expected to close in the third quarter of 2011. Estimated losses with these sales have been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the second quarter of 2011.

13. Deposits

Traditional deposit accounts have historically been the primary source of funds for the Company and a competitive strength of the Company. Traditional deposit accounts also provide a customer base for the sale of additional financial products and services and fee income through service charges. The Company sets targets for growth in deposit accounts annually in an effort to increase the number of products per banking relationship. Deposits are attractive sources of funding because of their stability and generally low cost as compared with other funding sources.

The following table summarizes traditional deposit composition at the periods indicated.


(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits	$	156,059	$	148,933
Interest-bearing demand deposits		228,869		230,084
Savings deposits		45,655		43,724
Money market deposits		282,556		312,007
Brokered deposits		129,024		140,151
Time deposits less than $100,000		398,393		416,098
Time deposits $100,000 or more		364,398		405,393

Total deposits	$	1,604,954	$	1,696,390

At June 30, 2011, $0.3 million of overdrawn transaction deposit accounts were reclassified to loans, compared with $0.3 million at December 31, 2010.

The following table summarizes interest expense on traditional deposit accounts at the periods indicated.


	For the Three Month Period Ended June 30,				For the Six Month Period Ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2011		2010		2011		2010
Interest-bearing demand deposits	$	435	$	620	$	917	$	1,199

Total interest expense on deposits	$	4,963	$	6,215	$	10,132	$	12,617

As a result of being critically undercapitalized at June 30, 2011, under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank’s capital levels do not allow the Bank to increase or renew brokered deposits balances, including all Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”), without prior approval from regulators. Regulatory limitations on the ability to accept brokered deposits will also limit the Company’s deposit funding options. Based on its existing capital ratios, the Bank could be subject to limitations on the maximum interest rates it can pay on deposit accounts and certain restrictions on brokered deposits. However, on August 2, 2010, the Bank was notified by the FDIC that the geographic areas in which the Bank operates are considered high-rate areas. Accordingly, the Bank is able to offer interest rates on deposits up to 75 basis points over the prevailing interest rates in its geographic areas.

14. Borrowings

The following schedule details the Company’s FHLB borrowings and other indebtedness at the periods indicated.


(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
Retail repurchase agreements	$	10,056	$	9,628
Federal Home Loan Bank advances		144,456		144,485
Subordinated debt		2,500		7,500
Junior subordinated debt		56,702		56,702

Total borrowings	$	213,714	$	218,315

Funds are borrowed on an overnight basis through retail repurchase agreements with bank customers and federal funds purchased from other financial institutions. Retail repurchase agreement borrowings are collateralized by securities of the U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agencies and corporations.

At June 30, 2011, the Bank had a line of credit at the FRBR totaling $23.7 million, of which there was no outstanding balance at period end. The Bank had no other federal funds purchased lines as of June 30, 2011. At December 31, 2010, the Bank had no line of credit at the Federal Reserve Bank.

At June 30, 2011, the FHLB advances have approximate contractual maturities between five months and seven years. The scheduled maturities of the advances are as follows:


(dollars in thousands)
2011	$	25,000
2012		15,000
2013		20,231
2014		15,324
2015		18,511
2016 and thereafter		50,390

Total FHLB advances	$	144,456

The Bank had no line of credit with the FHLB at June 30, 2011. However, at June 30, 2011, current outstanding FHLB advances under the discontinued line amounted to $144.5 million and were at interest rates ranging from 0.27% to 6.15%. These borrowings were secured by delivered collateral on qualifying mortgage loans and, as required, by other qualifying collateral. At December 31, 2010, FHLB advances amounted to $144.5 million and were at interest rates ranging from 0.27% to 6.15%.

FNB United has junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (“Junior Subordinated Debentures”) outstanding. Two issues of Junior Subordinated Debentures resulted from funds invested from the sale of trust preferred securities by FNB United Statutory Trust I (“FNB Trust I”) and by FNB United Statutory Trust II (“FNB Trust II”),

which are owned by FNB United. Two additional issues of Junior Subordinated Debentures were acquired on April 28, 2006 as a result of the merger with Integrity Financial Corporation. These acquired issues resulted from funds invested from the sale of trust preferred securities by Catawba Valley Capital Trust I (“Catawba Trust I”) and by Catawba Valley Capital Trust II (“Catawba Trust II”), which were owned by Integrity and acquired by FNB United in the merger. FNB United initiated the redemption of the securities issued by Catawba Valley Trust I as of December 30, 2007 and that trust was subsequently dissolved.

FNB United fully and unconditionally guarantees the preferred securities issued by each trust through the combined operation of the debentures and other related documents. Obligations under these guarantees are unsecured and subordinate to senior and subordinated indebtedness of the Company. The trust preferred securities qualify as Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes.

On December 30, 2010 and February 28, 2011, the Bank consummated conversion agreements with SunTrust Bank, pursuant to which $12.5 million of the outstanding principal amount of the $15.0 million subordinated term loan from SunTrust to the Bank issued on June 30, 2008 was converted into 12.5 million shares of nonvoting, nonconvertible, nonredeemable cumulative preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Bank. The Bank amended its articles of association to authorize the preferred stock issued to SunTrust in the conversions. The preferred stock carries an 8.0% dividend rate. The remaining $2.5 million of subordinated debt owed by the Bank to SunTrust was ratified and confirmed but with interest being payable monthly rather than quarterly beginning on March 31, 2011. Immediately prior to the conversion, the Bank paid the interest accrued and unpaid to February 28, 2011 on the subordinated debt.

On August 1, 2011, the Bank entered into an agreement with SunTrust Bank to settle the $2.5 million in subordinated debt for cash in an amount equal to 35% of the principal amount of the debt, plus 100% of the accrued but unpaid interest on the debt as of the closing date of the proposed merger with Bank of Granite Corporation. The agreement also provides for the Bank’s repurchase of the 12.5 million shares of Bank preferred stock owned by SunTrust Bank for cash in an amount equal to 25% of the aggregate liquidation amount of the preferred stock, plus 100% of the accrued but unpaid dividends thereon as of the closing date of the merger with Bank of Granite Corporation. See Note 22, Subsequent Events.

During the second quarter of 2010, the Company suspended payment of interest on trust preferred securities for liquidity purposes. The associated interest expense on junior subordinated debt has been fully accrued and is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

15. Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are provided using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Excluding unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, the Company has recorded a 100% deferred tax valuation allowance related to various temporary differences, principally consisting of the provision for loan losses and its net operating loss carryforwards.

In the second quarter of 2011, the Company, excluding discontinued operations, recorded less than $0.4 million of federal income tax benefit to reduce its deferred tax valuation allowance established on previously recorded deferred tax assets. The tax benefit resulted from adjustment of the deferred tax liability related to appreciation in the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio. The Company also recorded a deferred tax valuation allowance on the tax benefit related to the loss recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2011, due to the uncertainty of future taxable income necessary to fully realize the recorded net deferred tax asset.

Changes in net deferred tax asset were as follows:


(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Balance at beginning of year	$	925		$	447
Income tax effect from change in unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities		(1,819	)		2,212

Deferred income tax benefit on discontinuing operations		213			—
Valuation allowance on deferred tax assets		(35,963	)		(53,390	)

Balance at end of period	$	315		$	925

The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities and the tax effect of each are as follows:

Total deferred tax liabilities		6,030			6,042

Net deferred tax assets	$	315		$	925

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, net deferred income tax assets totaling $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, are recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. No valuation allowance is recorded for unrealized losses on investment securities because it is not more likely than not that the Company will have to sell these securities at a loss.

16. Postretirement Employee Benefit Plans

The accompanying table details the components of the net periodic costs of the Company’s postretirement benefit plans as recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations:

The Company contributed $750,000 to its pension plan in 2011. The other postretirement benefit plans are unfunded plans; and consequently, there are no plan assets or cash contribution requirements other than for the direct payment of benefits.

17. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2010, the FASB issued an update to the accounting standards for disclosures associated with credit quality and the allowance for loan losses. This standard requires additional disclosures related to the allowance for loan loss with the objective of providing financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s loan loss reserves and overall credit quality. Additional disclosures include showing on a disaggregated basis the aging of receivables, credit quality indicators, and troubled debt restructurings with their effect on the allowance for loan loss. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations; however, it increased the amount of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued an update to the accounting standards that clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings. The standard updated is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. This standard update also addresses the deferral of the disclosures related to troubled debt restructurings as required by the July 2010 accounting standard update on disclosures associated with credit quality and the allowance for loan losses. For public companies, the new guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption.

In April 2011, the criteria used to determine effective control of transferred assets in the Transfers and Servicing topic of the ASC was amended by ASU 2011-03. The requirement for the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms and the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion were removed from the assessment of effective control. The other criteria to assess effective control were not changed. The amendments are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

ASU 2011-04 was issued in May 2011 to amend the Fair Value Measurement topic of the ASC by clarifying the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and by changing particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard.

The Comprehensive Income topic of the ASC was amended in June 2011. The amendment eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendment requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income and requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. The amendments will be applicable to the Company on January 1, 2012 and will be applied retrospectively.

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.

18. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk relating to its ongoing business operations. In connection with its asset/liability management objectives, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps.

During the fourth quarter 2009 and first quarter 2010, the Bank entered into four interest rate swaps totaling $45.0 million, using a receive-fixed swap to mitigate the exposure to changes in the fair value attributable to the benchmark interest rate (3-month LIBOR) of the hedged items (FHLB advances) from the effective date to the maturity date of the hedged instruments. As structured, the pay-variable, receive-fixed swaps are evaluated as fair value hedges and are considered highly effective. As highly effective hedges, all fair value designated hedges and the underlying hedged instrument are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with the periodic changes of the fair value reported in the income statement.

For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, the interest rate swaps designated as a fair value hedge resulted in decreased interest expense of $229,000 and $454,300, respectively, on FHLB advances than would otherwise have been recognized for the liability. The fair value of the swaps at June 30, 2011 was recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset in the amount of $1.6 million.

Net gains recognized on the fair value swaps were $169,000 at June 30, 2011 and $94,600 at June 30, 2010.

Mortgage banking derivatives used in the ordinary course of business consist of mandatory forward sales contracts (forward contracts) and rate lock loan commitments. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is measured primarily by obtaining pricing from broker-dealers recognized to be market participants. These operations discontinued in March 2011.

The table below provides data about the carrying values of derivative instruments:

19. Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale, derivative assets, certain FHLB advances hedged by interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, and mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time-to-time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets and liabilities on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment, impaired loans and certain other assets and liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower or cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets or liabilities.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1: Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2: Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3: Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:

Investments Securities Available-for-Sale

Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 may include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Liquidity is a significant factor in the determination of the fair values of available-for-sale debt securities. Market price quotes may not be readily available for some positions, or positions within a market sector where trading activity has slowed significantly or ceased. Some of these instruments are valued using a discounted cash flow model, which estimates the fair value of the securities using internal credit risk, interest rate and prepayment risk models that incorporate management’s best estimate of current key assumptions such as default rates, loss severity and prepayment rates. Principal and interest cash flows are discounted using an observable discount rate for similar instruments with adjustments that management believes a market participant would consider in determining fair value for the specific security. Underlying assets are valued using external pricing services, where available, or matrix pricing based on the vintages and ratings. Situations of illiquidity generally are triggered by the market’s perception of credit uncertainty regarding a single company or a specific market sector. In these instances, fair value is determined based on limited available market information and other factors, principally from reviewing the issuer’s financial statements and changes in credit ratings made by one or more ratings agencies.

Loans Held for Sale

The majority of loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The sold loans are beyond the reach of the Bank in all respects and the purchasing investor has all rights of ownership, including the ability to pledge or exchange the loans. Most of loans sold are without recourse. Gains or losses on loan sales are recognized at the time of sale, are determined by the difference between net sales proceeds and the carrying value of the loan sold, and are included in Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Since loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value, the market value of loans held for sale is based on contractual agreements with independent third-party buyers. As such, the Company classifies loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2.

Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and the related impairment is charged against the allowance or a specific allowance is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral net liquidation value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral meet or exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the

appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loans as nonrecurring Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) is adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to OREO. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the OREO as nonrecurring Level 3.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Substantially all derivative instruments held or issued by the Company for risk management or customer-initiated activities are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, the Company measures fair value using models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities, and include the value associated with counterparty credit risk. The Company classifies derivatives instruments held or issued for risk management or customer-initiated activities as Level 2.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage loan sales. A valuation model, which utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates and prepayment speed assumptions currently quoted for comparable instruments and a discount rate, is used to determine fair value. Loan servicing rights are adjusted to fair value through a valuation allowance as determined by the model. As such, the Company classifies mortgage servicing rights as Level 3. Pursuant to an agreement dated December 29, 2010, the Company sold its mortgage servicing rights on mortgages owned by Fannie Mae and transferred the servicing of those mortgages on January 31, 2011.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Four FHLB Advances totaling $45.0 million have been hedged through fair value hedges whereby the change in fair value of the advances is effectively offset by the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps. For those derivatives, the Company measures fair value using models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves and option volatilities, and include the value associated with counterparty credit risk. The Company classifies derivatives instruments held or issued for risk management or customer-initiated activities as Level 2. Fair value of derivatives are primarily estimated by discounting estimated cash flows using interest rates approximating the current market rate for similar terms and credit risk.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the following table at June 30, 2011 for continuing operations:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

Investment securities. The fair value of investment securities is based on quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. The fair value of equity investments in the restricted stock of the FRBR and FHLB approximates the carrying value.

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

Accrued interest receivable and payable. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Bank-owned life insurance. The carrying value of bank-owned life insurance approximates fair value because this investment is carried at cash surrender value, as determined by the insurer.

Interest Rate Swaps. Interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based on discounted cash flow models. All future floating case flows are projected and both floating and fixed cash flows are discounted to the valuation date.

Deposits. The fair value of noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposits and savings are the amounts payable on demand because these products have no stated maturity. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowed funds. The carrying value of retail repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowed funds is estimated using the rates currently offered for advances of similar remaining maturities.

Subordinated debt. The carrying value of the Company’s fixed rate subordinated debt approximates fair value.

Junior subordinated debentures. Included in junior subordinated debentures are variable rate trust preferred securities issued by the Company. Fair values for the trust preferred securities were estimated by developing cash flow estimates for each of these debt instruments based on scheduled principal and interest payments and current interest rates. Once the cash flows were determined, a market rate for comparable subordinated debt was used to discount the cash flows to the present value. The estimated fair value (discount)/premium totaled $(15.8) million. The estimated fair value for the Company’s junior subordinated debentures is significantly lower than carrying value since credit spreads (i.e., spread to LIBOR) on similar trust preferred issues are currently much wider than when these securities were originally issued.

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

The estimated fair values of financial instruments for continuing operations are as follows:

20. Common Dividends

FNB United is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank and depends on the payment of dividends from the Bank to make dividend payments to its shareholders. FNB United and the Bank are subject to regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends. As a result of the written agreement between FNB United and FRBR, FNB United may not declare or pay any dividends on common stock, or take any dividends from the Bank, without the prior written approval from the regulators. The Company has not declared any dividends with respect to its common stock in 2011.

Under federal law, the Bank must obtain the prior approval of the OCC to pay dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year will exceed the sum of its net income for that year and its retained net income for the preceding two calendar years, less any transfers required by the OCC or to be made to retire any preferred stock. Federal law also prohibits the Bank from paying dividends that in the aggregate would be greater than its undivided profits after deducting statutory bad debts in excess of its loan loss allowance. The Consent Order further prohibits the Bank from paying any dividends without the prior written determination of supervisory non-objection of the OCC. The Bank is currently critically undercapitalized and thus is prohibited by law from making any dividend payments.

21. Capital Raise, Merger Agreement and Related Matters

Merger Agreement with the Bank of Granite and Recapitalization Investment and Subscription Agreements

On April 26, 2011, the Company and Bank of Granite Corporation (“Granite”), parent company of Bank of Granite, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company would, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, merge with and into Granite, with Granite surviving as a subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, each outstanding share of Granite’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Granite Common Stock”), other than shares held by the Company, Granite or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries and other than shares owned in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted, will be converted into the right to receive 3.375 shares of FNB Common Stock.

Also on April 26, 2011 and in connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into separate binding investment agreements (the “Investment Agreements”) with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital (together, the “Anchor Investors”) to sell to the Anchor Investors FNB common stock, subject to the terms of the Investment Agreements. The proposed investments are part of an aggregate $310 million capital raise by the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreements, each of the Anchor Investors agreed to purchase 484,375,000 shares of FNB common stock at a price of $0.16 per share, or approximately $77.5 million for each of Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital.

On June 16, 2011, the Company entered into binding subscription agreements with accredited investors pursuant to which those investors agreed to purchase common stock of the Company, at a purchase price of $0.16 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $75 million as part of the $310 million capital raise.

On August 4, 2011, the Company entered into binding subscription agreements with additional accredited investors and amendments to the Investment Agreements and certain of the subscription agreements executed on June 16, 2011 to secure and finalize allocations of the entire proposed $310 million capital raise. As a result of these amendments and new subscription agreements, each Anchor Investor will be investing approximately $79 million and the other investors will invest the remaining approximately $152 million. If the investments are completed, each Anchor Investor will own approximately 23% of the voting equity of the Company after giving effect to the Merger, the investments by the Anchor Investors and the other investors, and the other transactions contemplated to be implemented in connection with such transactions. Each of the other investors will own less than 4.99% of the voting equity of the Company.

Issuance of the shares upon the closing of the Investment Agreements and subscription agreements (the “Closing”) is subject to a number of conditions, which are set forth in the Investment Agreements and subscription agreements.

SunTrust Settlement

On August 1, 2011, the Bank and SunTrust Bank entered into an agreement (the “SunTrust Settlement”) to settle the $2.5 million in subordinated debt of the Bank held by SunTrust Bank for cash in amount equal to 35% of the principal amount of the debt, plus 100% of the accrued but unpaid interest on the debt as of the closing date of the Merger. The agreement also provides for the Bank’s repurchase of the 12.5 million shares of Bank preferred stock owned by SunTrust Bank for cash in an amount equal to 25% of the aggregate liquidation amount of the preferred stock, plus 100% of the accrued but unpaid dividends thereon as of the closing date of the Merger.

TARP Exchange

The United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) issued a letter, dated April 6, 2011, indicating its agreement to exchange the Company’s preferred stock held by the Treasury for the Company’s Common Stock having a value equal to the sum of 25% of the aggregate liquidation preference of the preferred stock (i.e., $51.5 million) plus 100% of the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends on the preferred stock as of the closing date (the “TARP Exchange”). In the letter of intent, the Treasury also indicated its intent to adjust its warrant to reduce the warrant exercise price.

Deferred Prosecution Agreement

The Anchor Investors required that the Investment Agreements include, as a condition to closing, that the Bank resolve a potential claim with the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina (the “U.S. Attorney”) and the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) arising from a Grand Jury Subpoena received by the Bank from the U.S. Attorney dated August 11, 2010. The subpoena related to one of the Bank’s customers who, at the time of the subpoena, was under indictment for, and was subsequently convicted of, securities fraud, wire fraud and money laundering relating to a suspected Ponzi scheme. The Bank responded in full to the subpoena, which had requested comprehensive documentation related to the Bank’s compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and Anti-Money Laundering (“BSA/AML”) laws from January 1, 2005 onward.

To facilitate the signing of the Investment Agreements, following discussions with representatives of the U.S. Attorney and the DOJ, the Bank, the U.S. Attorney and the DOJ agreed to enter into a deferred prosecution agreement (“DPA”) to settle any potential claims. The DPA was signed on April 26, 2011 and its effectiveness is conditioned on approval of the DPA by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina (the “District Court”). Under the terms of the DPA, the DPA will be in effect for 24 months from its effective date and will require the Bank to (1) implement the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s recommendations relating to the Bank’s BSA/AML compliance program, (2) pay on the Closing Date $400,000 to the District Court for distribution to the victims of the fraud perpetrated by the customer, (3) submit to the U.S. Attorney and the DOJ periodic certifications of the Bank’s BSA/AML compliance, and (4) strengthen the Bank’s BSA/AML compliance

program in order to support a finding within six months after the termination date of the DPA that no material deficiencies exist with respect to the Bank’s BSA/AML program. It is not expected that there will be any other actions required by the Bank with respect to this matter other than those contained in the DPA or that compliance with the DPA will have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s operations. In return for the Bank’s compliance with these undertakings, the DPA obligates the U.S. Attorney and the DOJ to, within 30 days after its expiration (extendable for up to 60 additional days at DOJ’s discretion), request dismissal of the criminal charges filed against the Bank in connection with the execution of the DPA.

Tax Benefit Preservation Plan

On April 8, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company, declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) in respect of each share of common stock of the Company (“Common Share”) outstanding at the close of business on April 25, 2011 (the “Record Date”), and to become outstanding between the Record Date and the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date and the Final Expiration Date (each as defined in the Plan). The Rights will be issued pursuant to a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, dated as of April 15, 2011 (the “Plan”), between the Company and Registrar and Transfer Company, as Rights Agent (the “Rights Agent”). Each Right represents the right to purchase, upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the Plan, 1/10,000th of a share of Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Series B, par value $10.00 per share (“Preferred Share”), for $0.64 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment.

The purpose of the Plan is to protect the Company’s ability to use certain tax assets, such as net operating loss carry-forwards (the “Tax Benefits”), to offset future income. The Company’s use of the Tax Benefits in the future would be significantly limited if it experiences an “ownership change” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, an “ownership change” will occur if there is a cumulative increase in the Company’s ownership by “5-percent shareholders” (as defined under U.S. income tax laws) that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period.

The Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood that the Company will experience an ownership change by discouraging any person from becoming a beneficial owner of 4.99% or more of the then outstanding Common Shares (a “Threshold Holder”). There is no guarantee, however, that the Plan will prevent the Company from experiencing an ownership change.

A corporation that experiences an ownership change will generally be subject to an annual limitation on certain of its pre-ownership change tax assets in an amount generally equal to the equity value of the corporation immediately before the ownership change, multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate (subject to certain adjustments).

In connection with the adoption of the Plan above, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to Company’s Articles of Incorporation for the purpose of creating the Junior Participating Preferred Stock, Series B, par value $10.00 per share, and to fix the designation, preferences, limitations and relative rights thereof (the “Articles of Amendment”). The Articles of Amendment were filed with the Secretary of the State of North Carolina and became effective on April 15, 2011.

22. Subsequent Events

On August 1, 2011, the Bank and SunTrust Bank entered into an agreement to settle the $2.5 million in subordinated debt of the Bank held by SunTrust Bank for cash in amount equal to 35% of the principal amount of the debt, plus 100% of the accrued but unpaid interest on the debt as of the closing date of the proposed merger with Bank of Granite Corporation. The agreement also provides for the Bank’s repurchase of the 12.5 million shares of Bank preferred stock owned by SunTrust Bank for cash in an amount equal to 25% of the aggregate liquidation amount of the preferred stock, plus 100% of the accrued but unpaid dividends thereon as of the closing date of the merger.

On August 3, 2011, the Company received written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market of the Nasdaq staff’s determination that the Company has not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the bid price rule. On August 2, 2010, the Nasdaq staff notified the Company that it was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), the bid price rule for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, and provided the Company 180 calendar days, or until January 31, 2011, to regain compliance with the rule. Subsequently, on February 3, 2011, the Company transferred to The Nasdaq Capital Market and was afforded a second 180-day period, or until August 1, 2011, to regain compliance. The Company previously received a notice dated June 10, 2011 from The Nasdaq Stock Market that the Company is also not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), the stockholders’ equity rule. The Company is in the process of appealing the determination of the Nasdaq staff to remove the Company’s common stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FNBN” during the appeals period.

On August 4, 2011, the Company entered into binding subscription agreements with various accredited investors and amendments to the investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital and certain of the subscription agreements executed on June 16, 2011 to finalize allocations of the Company’s proposed $310 million capital raise.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following presents management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations of FNB United Corp. (“FNB United”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, CommunityONE Bank, National Association (the “Bank”). FNB United and the Bank are collectively referred to as the “Company.” This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Executive Overview

FNB United is a bank holding company with a full-service subsidiary bank, CommunityONE Bank, National Association, which offers a complete line of consumer, mortgage and business banking services, including loan, deposit, cash management, investment management and trust services, to individual and business customers. The Bank has offices in Alamance, Alexander, Ashe, Catawba, Chatham, Gaston, Guilford, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Moore, Orange, Randolph, Richmond, Rowan, Scotland, Watauga and Wilkes counties in North Carolina.

The Bank has a subsidiary, Dover Mortgage Company, which had been in the business of originating, underwriting and closing mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market. Dover ceased its wholesale mortgage origination business and its retail mortgage origination business outside of North Carolina in February 2011. On March 17, 2011, Dover discontinued all of its remaining operations.

Management’s Plans and Intentions

The Company incurred significant net losses in 2009, which continued in 2010 and 2011, primarily from the higher provisions for loan losses due to the significant level of nonperforming assets and the write-off of goodwill. The Bank consented and agreed to the issuance of the Consent Order (“Order”) by the OCC in July 2010 and FNB United entered into a written agreement with the FRB in October 2010. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm issued a report with respect to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, which contained an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The following strategies have been or are being implemented:

Balance Sheet Reductions – Management is implementing strategies to improve capital ratios through the reduction of assets and off-balance sheet commitments. At June 30, 2011, risk-weighted assets have been reduced by $233.2 million since December 31, 2010. Reductions occurred primarily in reductions in the commercial loan portfolio. On December 30, 2010, the Bank sold $32.9 million of mortgage loans held for investment and recognized a net gain of $383,000, including transaction costs. Management expects future reductions in risk-weighted assets to be moderate and occur primarily in the loan portfolio. To offset the majority of asset reductions, liabilities declined primarily through reductions in deposits by $91.4 million. Future liability reductions are expected to occur primarily in deposits, primarily public unit deposits and high-rate NOW accounts and certificates of deposits.

Earnings – On June 22, 2010, the Bank retired $33.0 million in FHLB advances and paid an early redemption penalty of $1.0 million to the FHLB for the retirement of these advances. The penalty is included in other

noninterest expenses. On July 2, 2010, the Bank purchased $30.0 million in brokered certificates of deposit to replace these funds. The advances had a remaining average life of 1.0 years and an average interest rate of 3.93%. The brokered certificates of deposit have maturities ranging from 30 months to 42 months with interest rates ranging from 1.75% to 2.20%. As a result of this transaction, the interest expense savings during the first year is estimated at an annualized rate of 1.94% on the $30.0 million restructured.

Stimulus Loan Program – The Bank implemented in 2009 a stimulus loan program to facilitate the sale of residential real estate held as collateral for some of the Bank’s nonperforming and performing loans and certain Bank-owned properties. The purpose of the program was to reduce the Bank’s credit concentrations and nonperforming assets by providing attractive terms that both filled the mortgage lending void created by the ongoing recession and incented potential buyers to purchase real estate. The Bank offered a reduced interest rate to qualified new borrowers to encourage them to purchase properties in this program. New borrowers qualified according to the Bank’s normal consumer and mortgage underwriting standards. The Bank recorded these loans at fair value at time of issue. Existing unimpaired development loans that become part of the program were considered impaired upon inclusion in the stimulus loan program. The Bank currently has $41.6 million in loans under the stimulus loan program, of which, $15.2 million required a fair value adjustment of $92,700 as of June 30, 2011. The fair value adjustment is recorded as a reduction of the outstanding loan balance on the balance sheet and accreted into interest income over the contractual life of the loan. The Company discontinued the stimulus loan program and booked the last stimulus loan during the first quarter of 2011. The Company will continue to report stimulus loan information, as indicated above, through the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2011.

Additional Capital – The Company has engaged two investment banking firms to assist the Company in identifying strategic alternatives and in raising capital. On April 26, 2011, FNB United entered into investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital to recapitalize the Company, as well as a merger agreement with Bank of Granite Corporation. On June 16 and August 4, 2011, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various accredited investors pursuant to which those investors agreed to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in the recapitalization. Those subscription agreements, together with the investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital, account for $310 million in new capital for the Company. Details of the investment agreements, the subscription agreements and the merger agreement can be found in Note 21, Capital Raise, Merger Agreement and Related Matters and Note 22, Subsequent Events to the Company’s consolidated financial statements set forth in Item 1 above. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to complete the investments. The successful completion of all or any portion of the capital plan is not assured, and no assurance can be made that the capital plan will not be materially modified in the future. If the Company is not able to complete a substantial portion of the capital plan, its regulatory capital ratios may be materially and adversely affected and its ability to withstand continued adverse economic conditions could be threatened.

Liquidity

The Company has a 45-office system of community offices, commonly referred to as branches, that has provided a significant and stable source of local funding. In addition, the Company has a contingency funding plan pursuant to which FNB United and the Bank review monthly or more frequently liquidity needs based on a number of potential stress conditions. These conditions include, but are not limited to, deposit outflow and reductions in wholesale borrowing lines, including brokered deposits. Liquidity sources are stressed to determine if sufficient liquidity is available to meet potential funding needs. In all scenarios determined plausible by management, the Bank is able to meet liquidity needs through remaining borrowing lines, reducing loan originations, sales of assets, and scheduled cash flow that is not redeployed. The Bank is active in maximizing borrowing lines that can be drawn against under all financial conditions, as well as managing asset and liability cash flows to maintain adequate liquidity levels.

Both FNB United and the Bank actively manage liquidity. FNB United suspended its dividend to shareholders until such time as the Bank returns to profitability and either receives or is not required to receive regulatory approval for the payment of dividends. FNB United began deferring the payment of cash dividends on its outstanding Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, beginning in the second quarter 2010, as well as the payment of interest on the outstanding junior subordinated notes related to its trust preferred securities to enhance the Company’s liquidity. The expense associated with trust preferred securities continues to accrue and is reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The dividends on preferred stock are shown as an increase to net loss to derive net loss to common shareholders in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Based on current and expected liquidity needs and sources, management expects the Bank to be able to meet its obligations at least through December 31, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents at the Bank at June 30, 2011 were approximately $160.8 million. Liquidity at the Bank is largely dependent upon deposits, which fund 93% of the Company’s assets. Despite reported negative earnings performance during 2011, the Bank’s deposits decreased

from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011 by $91.4 million. The Bank’s loan portfolio does not have features that could rapidly draw additional funds, which would cause an elevated need for additional liquidity at the Bank.

Access to brokered deposits as a contingency funding source for the Bank has been eliminated since the Bank is deemed not well-capitalized.

Stress testing of potential severe deposit outflow demonstrates that the Bank is well positioned to respond to withdrawals. Additional sales and maturities of investment securities could provide further liquidity if needed. The Bank reclassified the entire held-to-maturity investment securities portfolio to available-for-sale investment securities to further enhance the Bank’s liquidity. The reclassification of these securities was completed in the second quarter of 2010.

On December 30, 2010 and February 28, 2011, the Bank entered into and consummated conversion agreements with SunTrust Bank, pursuant to which $12.5 million of the outstanding principal amount of the $15.0 million subordinated term loan from SunTrust to the Bank issued on June 30, 2008 was converted into 12.5 million shares of nonvoting, nonconvertible, nonredeemable cumulative preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Bank. The Bank amended its articles of association to authorize the preferred stock issued to SunTrust in the conversions. The preferred stock carries an 8.0% dividend rate. The remaining $2.5 million of subordinated debt owed by the Bank to SunTrust was ratified and confirmed but with interest being payable monthly rather than quarterly beginning on March 31, 2011. Immediately prior to the conversion, the Bank paid the interest accrued and unpaid to February 28, 2011 on the subordinated debt.

Capital

The Bank is subject to increased minimum capital requirements from the OCC. The Company has been actively working to raise capital. On April 26, 2011, FNB United entered into investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital to recapitalize the Company, as well as a merger agreement with Bank of Granite Corporation. On June 16, 2011, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various accredited investors pursuant to which those investors agreed to purchase Company common stock as part of the Company’s proposed $310 million capital raise. On August 4, 2011, the Company entered into subscription agreements with additional investors and amendments to the investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital and certain of the existing subscription agreements to secure and finalize allocations of the entire $310 million capital raise. As a result of these agreements and amendments, each of Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital will invest approximately $79 million and the other investors will invest the remaining approximately $152 million. The investments are contingent on obtaining shareholder and regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other conditions. Issuance of the common stock at $0.16 per share will complete the recapitalization of FNB United, which is a key contingency in its plan to acquire Bank of Granite Corporation, parent company of Bank of Granite.

The Company also is controlling asset growth, which should help reduce its risk profile and improve capital ratios through reductions in the amount of outstanding loans, particularly loans with higher risk weights, and a corresponding reduction of liabilities. As a critically undercapitalized institution, the Company is subject to restrictions on asset growth. Outstanding loans are being reduced by slowing loan originations and through normal principal amortization. The Company may also seek commercial note sales arrangements with other lenders or private equity sources. Based on its forecasts and projections, management expects the Bank to remain below well-capitalized, according to current regulatory guidelines, through December 31, 2011, unless current capital improvement efforts are successful.

As a result of the Order with the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Directors of the Bank has formed a compliance committee of some of its members to oversee management’s response to all sections of the Order. The committee is monitoring compliance with the Order, including adherence to deadlines for submission to the OCC of the information required under the Order.

The Company has engaged legal counsel, regulatory experts and various consultants to assist it with compliance with the Order. They have been advising the Company on additional action plans and strategies to reduce the level

of nonperforming assets and to increase capital. These advisors work directly with the Board of Directors and Bank management to assure that all opportunities for improvement are considered.

Credit Quality

The Company has taken proactive steps to resolve its nonperforming loans, including negotiating repayment restructuring plans, forbearances, loan modifications and loan extensions with borrowers when appropriate. The Bank also has a separate special assets department to monitor and attempt to reduce exposure to further deterioration in asset quality, to manage OREO properties, and to liquidate property in the most cost-effective manner. The Bank is applying more conservative underwriting practices to new loans, including, among other things, increasing the amount of required collateral or equity requirements, reducing loan-to-value ratios, and increasing interest rates.

To improve its results of operations, the Company’s primary focus is to reduce significantly the amount of its nonperforming assets. Nonperforming assets decrease profitability because they reduce the balance of earning assets, may require additional loan loss provisions or write-downs, and require significant devotion of staff time and financial resources to resolve. The level of nonperforming assets (loans not accruing interest, restructured loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest, and other real estate owned) decreased to $309.4 million as of June 30, 2011, as compared to $392.2 million as of December 31, 2010. The Company believes that the elevated levels of nonperforming assets occurred largely as a result of the severe housing downturn and deterioration in the residential real estate market, as many of the Bank’s commercial loans are for residential real estate projects.

The Company has moved aggressively to address the credit quality issues by attentively managing its reserves for losses and directing the efforts of a team of experienced workout specialists solely to manage the resolution of nonperforming assets. This group allows the remainder of the Bank’s credit administration and banking personnel to focus on managing the performing loan portfolio, while enhancing objectivity in problem loan resolution by removing from that process the originating or managing lender.

It is the Company’s goal to remove the majority of the nonperforming assets from its balance sheet while still obtaining reasonable value for these assets. Given the current conditions in the real estate market, accomplishing this goal is a tremendous undertaking, requiring both time and the considerable effort of staff. The Company is committed to continuing to devote significant resources to these efforts. Sales of real estate in the current market could result in losses.

Continued Expense Control

The Company is committed to maintaining current cost control measures and believes that this effort will play a major role in improving its performance. The Company also believes that its technology allows it to be efficient in its back-office operations. In addition, as the level of nonperforming assets is reduced, the operating costs associated with carrying those assets, such as maintenance, insurance and taxes will decrease.

The Company is focused on its collection of core deposits. Core deposit balances, generated from customers throughout the Bank’s branch network, are generally a stable source of funds similar to long-term funding, but core deposits such as checking and savings accounts are typically less costly than alternative fixed-rate funding. The Company believes that this cost advantage makes core deposits a superior funding source, in addition to providing cross-selling opportunities and fee income possibilities. To the extent the Bank grows its core deposits, the cost of funds should decrease, thereby increasing the Bank’s net interest margin.

Conclusion

Management projections for 2011 reflect continued stress on the Bank’s loan portfolio followed by earnings improvement in 2012 primarily as a result of reductions in classified loans and a reduction in 30-89 days past due loans. In the current interest rate environment, earnings will at most be only minimally affected by further declines in interest rates. Any increase in interest rates is expected to have a positive impact on the earnings of the Bank, with the extent of that impact dependent on the amount of increase. Management’s current projections and forecasts for 2011 include an insignificant increase in interest rates, notwithstanding increasing evidence of economic recovery.

While the Company plans to focus on the above actions and to pursue strategic alternatives, the Company can give no assurance that efforts to raise additional capital in the current economic environment will be successful and result in the Company’s desired capital position or that all of the conditions to closing the proposed investments and merger will be satisfied. Further, no assurance can be given that the Company will return to profitability in the near term or at all even if the proposed recapitalization is completed. The Bank’s ability to decrease its levels of nonperforming assets is also subject to market conditions as some of its borrowers rely on an active real estate

market as a source of repayment, and the sale of real estate in this market is difficult. If the real estate market does not improve, the Bank’s level of nonperforming assets may continue to increase.

While the Company believes that it is taking appropriate steps to respond to these economic risks and regulatory actions, continuation as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital. Accordingly, the Company is taking steps that would raise capital above required regulatory levels and levels at which the Bank could profitably operate, including entering into investment agreements and subscription agreements with Carlyle, Oak Hill Capital and other investors to recapitalize the Company in an equity capital financing of approximately $310 million, as well as a merger agreement with Bank of Granite Corporation. There can be no assurances that all of the conditions to closing the proposed investments and merger will be satisfied or that, even if the recapitalization is completed, the Company will return to profitability in the near term or at all.

The Company’s total assets at June 30, 2011, including discontinued operations, were $1.7 billion, a decrease of 9%, or $180.1 million, from year-end 2010. The decrease in assets is largely due to selective reduction of high risk-weighted assets and funding sources as part of management’s plan to improve regulatory capital ratios in connection with the Order with the OCC. Investments increased $75.3 million, or 25%. The Company utilized excess cash from excessive loan runoff to actively increase the available-for-sale investment portfolio in an effort to improve liquidity levels. Gross loans held for investment totaled $1.0 billion at June 30, 2011, representing a decrease of $285.7 million, or 22%, from the prior year end.

Management is implementing strategies to improve capital ratios through the reduction of assets and off-balance sheet commitments. At June 30, 2011, risk-weighted assets have been reduced by $233.2 million since December 31, 2010. Reductions occurred primarily in reductions in the commercial loan portfolio. On December 30, 2010, the Bank sold $32.9 million of mortgage loans held for investment and recognized a net gain of $383,000, including transaction costs. Management expects future reductions in risk-weighted assets to be moderate and occur primarily in the loan portfolio. To offset the majority of asset reductions, liabilities declined primarily through reductions in deposits by $91.4 million. Future liability reductions are expected to occur primarily in deposits, primarily public unit deposits and high-rate NOW accounts and certificates of deposits.

Total deposits decreased $91.4 million, to $1.6 billion in 2011, representing a 5% reduction. Borrowings decreased $4.6 million, or 2%, during 2011, compared to December 31, 2010. Total shareholders’ equity decreased $84.9 million from the December 31, 2010 level, primarily from the Company’s net loss available to common shareholders of $(94.8) million, including discontinued operations.

Excluding discontinued operations, the Company experienced a net loss available to common shareholders of $(89.1) million in the first six months of 2011 compared to net loss to common shareholders of $(29.8) million for the same period in 2010. Contributing factors included a $53.8 million provision for loan losses in 2011 and a $26.8 million of OREO-related expense.

Noninterest income, excluding discontinued operations, was $6.9 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2011 and $10.0 million for the same period in 2010. Mortgage loan income decreased by $0.7 million, which is attributable to a drop in loan production volume throughout 2011. In addition, there was a decrease in net securities gains of $1.6 million and a decline of $1.0 million in service charges on deposit accounts due to reduced economic activity as well as the new “Opt-In” Regulation E changes that became effective for new and existing deposit customers this past year. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in cardholder and merchant service income and a $0.2 million increase in bank-owned life insurance income.

Noninterest expense, excluding discontinued operations, for year-to-date 2011 was $59.1 million, compared to $32.7 million for the same period in 2010. This 80% increase in noninterest expense is primarily attributed to an increase of $21.7 million in OREO-related expenses and an increase of 124%, or $1.9 million, in FDIC insurance. While professional fees also increased by $1.6 million, advertising and marketing expense decreased by $0.5 million due to less marketing campaigns and promotions.

Regulatory Actions

Consent Order

Due to the Bank’s condition, on July 22, 2010, pursuant to a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of a Consent Order, the Bank consented and agreed to the issuance of a Consent Order (“Order”) by the OCC. In the Order, the Bank and the OCC agreed as to areas of the Bank’s operations that warrant improvement and a plan for making those improvements. The Order includes a capital directive, which requires the Bank to achieve and maintain minimum regulatory capital levels in excess of the statutory minimums to be well-capitalized, and a directive to develop a liquidity risk management and contingency funding plan, in connection with which the Bank could be

subject to limitations on the maximum interest rates it can pay on deposit accounts. The Order also contains restrictions on future extensions of credit and requires the development of various programs and procedures to improve the Bank’s asset quality as well as routine reporting on the Bank’s progress toward compliance with the Order to the Board of Directors and the OCC. Specifically, the Order imposed the following requirements on the Bank:

•

to appoint a Compliance Committee to monitor and coordinate the Bank’s adherence to the Order.

•

to develop and submit to the OCC for review a written strategic plan covering at least a three-year period.

•

to achieve within 90 days and thereafter maintain total capital at least equal to 12% of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital at least equal to 9% of adjusted total assets.

•

to submit to the OCC within 60 days a written capital plan for the Bank covering at least a three-year period.

•

to develop, implement and ensure the Bank’s compliance with written programs to improve the Bank’s loan portfolio management and to reduce the high level of credit risk in the Bank.

•

to adopt and ensure implementation and adherence to an enhanced written commercial real estate concentration management program consistent with OCC guidelines.

•

to obtain current and complete credit information on all loans and ensure proper collateral documentation is maintained on all loans.

•

to develop and implement an independent review and analysis process to ensure that appraisals conform to appraisal standards and regulations.

•

to implement and adhere to a written program for the maintenance of an adequate allowance for loan losses, providing for review of the allowance by the Board of Directors at least quarterly.

•

to increase the Bank’s liquidity to a level sufficient to sustain the Bank’s current operations and to withstand any anticipated or extraordinary demand against its funding base.

•

to develop and implement a written program to strengthen internal controls over accounting and financial reporting.

The Bank has submitted all required materials and plans requested to the OCC within the given time periods. The Board of Directors submitted written strategic and capital plans to the OCC covering the requisite three-year period, and the Bank has submitted a revised plan in light of the recapitalization efforts discussed in Note 21, Capital Raise, Merger Agreement and Related Matters and Note 22, Subsequent Events to the Company’s consolidated financial statements set forth in Item 1 above.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

FNB United’s accounting policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and with general practice within the banking industry and are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. FNB United’s significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, investment securities and deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses, which is utilized to absorb actual losses in the loan portfolio, is maintained at a level consistent with management’s best estimate of probable loan losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. The Company’s allowance for loan losses is also assessed quarterly by management. This assessment includes a methodology that separates the total loan portfolio into homogeneous loan classifications for purposes of evaluating risk. The required allowance is calculated by applying a risk adjusted reserve requirement to the dollar volume of loans within a homogenous group. The Company has grouped its loans into pools according to the loan segmentation regime employed on schedule RC-C of the FFIEC’s Consolidated Report of Condition and Income (the “Call Report”). Major loan portfolio subgroups include: risk graded commercial loans, mortgage loans, home equity loans, retail loans and retail credit lines. Management also analyzes the loan portfolio on an ongoing basis to evaluate current risk levels, and risk grades are adjusted accordingly. The Company recently implemented a new loan loss software program as a modeling tool to assist in the determination of an adequate level of reserves to cover loan losses. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments may be necessary, if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used. See additional discussion under “Asset Quality.”

Valuation of Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate represents properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof. The property is initially carried at fair value based on recent appraisals, less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral.

Carrying Value of Securities

Securities designated as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. However, the unrealized difference between amortized cost and fair value of securities available-for-sale is excluded from net income unless there is an other than temporary impairment and is reported, net of deferred taxes, as a component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss). Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized and accreted according to the interest method.

Treatment of Deferred Tax Assets

Management’s determination of the realization of deferred tax assets is based upon its judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing and amount of future income earned by certain subsidiaries and the implementation of various tax plans to maximize realization of the deferred tax assets. In evaluating the positive and negative evidence to support the realization of the asset under current guidance, given the current credit crisis and economic conditions, there is insufficient positive evidence to support a conclusion that it is more likely than not this asset will be realized in the foreseeable future. Examinations of the income tax returns or changes in tax law may impact the Company’s tax liabilities and resulting provisions for income taxes.

A valuation allowance is recognized for a deferred tax asset if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. As a result of the increased credit losses, the Bank continues to be in a three-year cumulative pre-tax loss position as of June 30, 2011. A cumulative loss position is considered significant negative evidence in assessing the realizability of a deferred tax asset, which is difficult to overcome. The Bank’s estimate of the realization of its deferred tax assets was based on the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and taxable income available in prior carry back years and estimated unrealized losses in the available-for-sale investment portfolio. The Bank did not consider future taxable income in determining the realizability of its deferred tax assets. The Bank expects its income tax expense (benefit) will be negligible for the next several quarters until profitability

has been restored for a reasonable time and such profitability is considered sustainable. At that time, the valuation allowance would be reversed. Reversal of the valuation allowance requires a great deal of judgment and will be based on the circumstances that exist as of that future date. If future events differ significantly from the Bank’s current forecasts, the Bank may need to increase this valuation allowance, which could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition.

Summary

Management believes the accounting estimates related to the allowance for loan losses, valuation of OREO, the carrying value of securities and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets are “critical accounting estimates” because: (1) the estimates are highly susceptible to change from period to period as they require management to make assumptions concerning the changes in the types and volumes of the portfolios and anticipated economic conditions, and (2) the impact of recognizing an impairment or loan loss could have a material effect on the Company’s assets reported on the balance sheet as well as its net earnings.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets, primarily loans and investment securities, and interest expense paid on interest-bearing deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. This measure represents the largest component of income for the Bank. The net interest margin measures how effectively the Bank manages the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid for funds to support those assets. Changes in interest rates earned on interest-earning assets and interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, the rate of growth of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities base, the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities, and the management of interest rate sensitivity factor into fluctuations within net interest income. An analysis is presented in the Company’s Average Balances and Net Interest Income Analysis for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

During the last several years, the financial markets experienced significant volatility resulting from the continued fallout of subprime lending and the global liquidity crisis. A multitude of government initiatives along with interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve have been designed to improve liquidity for the distressed financial markets and stabilize the banking system. The relationship between declining interest-earning asset yields and more slowly declining interest-bearing liability costs has caused, and may continue to cause, net interest margin compression. Net interest margin compression may also continue to be impacted by continued deterioration of assets resulting in further interest income adjustments.

Net interest loss after provision for loan losses was $(24.4) million and $(35.4) million, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, compared to $(13.4) million and $(7.4) million, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.

The net interest margin (taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets) was 2.26% and 2.20%, respectively, for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 3.08% and 3.22%, respectively, for the same periods in 2010.

The following table summarizes the average balance sheets and net interest income/margin analysis for the three-month period. The Bank’s interest yield earned on interest-earning assets and interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities shown in the table are derived by dividing interest income and expense by the average balances of interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses

This provision is the charge against earnings to provide an allowance for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of each year’s charge is affected by several considerations, including management’s evaluation of various risk factors in determining the adequacy of the allowance (see additional discussion under “Asset Quality”), actual loan loss experience and loan portfolio growth.

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, the provision for loan losses, excluding discontinued operations, was $33.6 million and $53.8 million, respectively, compared to $27.2 million and $36.7 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2010. The level of provision so far in 2011 was driven by a continued deterioration of loan quality and underlying collateral values. Net charge-offs for the three months ending June 30, 2011 totaled $42.9 million, or 15.06% of annualized average loans, compared to $13.6 million, or 3.54% of annualized average loans for the same period in 2010. Net charge-offs for the six months ending June 30, 2011 totaled $88.1 million, or 14.76% of annualized average loans, compared to $16.6 million, or 2.17% of annualized average loans for the same period in 2010. As of June 30, 2011, approximately 47.2% of the gross charge-offs were comprised of land development loans.

During the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 2011, the Bank charged off $45.7 million and $91.6 million, respectively, in loans. The majority of the loans that were charged off were loans that had been in impairment status for more than six months and had specific reserves assigned to them in prior periods. Due to these loans having specific reserves assigned to the outstanding balance of the loan, it was not necessary for the Bank to have a provision greater than the charge-off value in the second quarter of 2011. The Bank also noted positive trends in the loan portfolio during the first six months of 2011 that included reductions in: nonaccruing loans of $117.2 million, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing of $4.8 million, loans 30-89 days past due of $57.1 million and classified loans of $151.4 million. These improvements over December 31, 2010 were considered in the analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss at June 30, 2011.

Noninterest Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, noninterest income, excluding discontinued operations, was $3.3 million and $5.3 million for the same period in 2010. Mortgage loan income decreased by $0.5 million, which is attributable to a drop in loan production volume throughout 2011 and discontinuance of Dover operations. In addition, there was a decrease in net securities gains of $0.9 million and a decline of $0.5 million in service charges on deposit accounts due to reduced economic activity as well as the new “Opt-In” Regulation E changes that became effective for new and existing deposit customers this past year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, noninterest income, excluding discontinued operations, was $6.9 million and $10.0 million for the same period in 2010. Mortgage loan income decreased by $0.7 million, which is attributable to a drop in loan production volume throughout 2011 and discontinuance of Dover operations. In addition, there was a decrease in net securities gains of $1.6 million and a decline of $1.0 million in service charges on deposit accounts due to reduced economic activity as well as the new “Opt-In” Regulation E changes that became effective for new and existing deposit customers this past year. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in cardholder and merchant service income and a $0.2 million increase in bank owned life insurance income.

Noninterest Expense

The Company has experienced significant increases in its expenses associated with regulatory compliance and audits, FDIC insurance, as well as legal and consulting fees. These expenses will continue as a direct result of the Company’s ongoing financial condition. Noninterest expense, excluding discontinued operations, for the second quarter of 2011 was $26.3 million, compared to $19.2 million for the same period in 2010. This 37% increase in noninterest expense is primarily attributed to an increase of $6.0 million in OREO-related expenses and an increase of 94%, or $0.8 million, in FDIC insurance. While professional fees also increased by $0.9 million, advertising and marketing expense decreased by $0.2 million due to less marketing campaigns and promotions.

Noninterest expense for the first six months, excluding discontinued operations, was $59.1 million, compared to $32.7 million for the same period in 2010. This 80% increase in noninterest expense is primarily attributed to an increase of $21.7 million in OREO-related expenses and an increase of 124%, or $1.9 million, in FDIC insurance. While professional fees also increased by $1.6 million, advertising and marketing expense decreased by $0.5 million due to less marketing campaigns and promotions.

With regards to the FDIC insurance, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act, on February 7, 2011, the FDIC finalized new rules which redefined the assessment base as “average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity.” The new rate schedule and other revisions to the assessment rules became effective April 1, 2011 and were used to calculate the June 2011 assessments.

Full-time equivalent employees averaged 474 employees for the second quarter 2011 versus 512 employees for the second quarter of 2010.

Provision for Income Taxes

Excluding discontinued operations, the Company had an income tax benefit totaling $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to an income tax benefit of $2.6 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease for 2011, compared to the prior year, resulted primarily from the impact of the change in the market value of available-for-sale securities on deferred tax assets and the corresponding valuation allowance. The Company’s provision for income taxes, as a percentage of loss before income taxes, excluding discontinued operations, was 0.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 9.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Excluding discontinued operations, the Company had an income tax benefit totaling $0.6 million for the first six months of 2011 compared to an income tax benefit of $2.0 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease for 2011, compared to the prior year, resulted primarily from the impact of the change in the market value of available-for-sale securities on deferred tax assets and the corresponding valuation allowance. The Company’s provision for income taxes, as a percentage of loss before income taxes, excluding discontinued operations, was 0.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 6.7% for the first six months ended June 30, 2010.

Financial Condition

deposits by $91.4 million. Future liability reductions are expected to occur primarily in deposits, primarily public unit deposits and high-rate NOW accounts and certificates of deposits.

Since December 31, 2010, the Company’s assets, including discontinued operations, have decreased $180.1 million, to $1.7 billion at June 30, 2011. The principal factors causing this reduction was a $285.7 million decrease in loans held for investment partially offset by a $75.3 million increase in investment securities. Investment securities of $380.7 million at June 30, 2011 were 25% higher than the $305.3 million balance at December 31, 2010. Loans held for investment of $1.0 billion at June 30, 2011 were 22% lower than the $1.3 billion balance at December 31, 2010.

Deposits decreased $91.4 million since December 31, 2010 to end June 30, 2011 at $1.6 billion. At the end of the second quarter 2011, noninterest-bearing deposits were $156.1 million, or 9.7% of total deposits, up 94 basis points since the end of 2010. Time deposits of $100,000 or more plus other time deposits were $891.8 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $961.6 million at December 31, 2010. Borrowings at the FHLB totaled $144.5 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $144.5 million at December 31, 2010, and federal funds purchased remained unchanged from year-end 2010 at zero.

Shareholders’ deficit was $(113.7) million at the end of the second quarter 2011, down 294% from $(28.8) million at December 31, 2010. The decrease reflects a net loss, excluding discontinued operations, for the first six months ended June 30, 2011 of $(89.1) million. The Company did not declare common dividends during the first six months ended June 30, 2011 and is unable to do so without prior regulatory approval and by law due to its being critically undercapitalized.

The Company began deferring the payment of cash dividends on its outstanding Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, beginning in the second quarter of 2010, as well as the payment of interest on the outstanding junior subordinated notes related to its trust preferred securities. The suspension of cash dividends on preferred stock and the deferral of interest payments on the junior subordinated notes will enhance the Company’s liquidity. The expense associated with the trust preferred securities continues to accrue and is reflected in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Investment Securities

The Company evaluates all securities on a quarterly basis, and more frequently as economic conditions warrant, to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) exists. In evaluating the possible impairment of securities, consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than book value, the financial conditions and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the ability and intent of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies or government sponsored agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. If management determines that an investment experienced an OTTI, the loss is recognized in the income statement as a realized loss. Any recoveries related to the value of these securities are recorded as an unrealized gain (as other comprehensive income/(loss) in shareholders’ equity) and not recognized in income until the security is ultimately sold. As of June 30, 2011, there were no securities considered by the Company to be OTTI.

Asset Quality

Management considers the asset quality of the Bank to be of primary importance. A formal loan review function, independent of loan origination, is used to identify and monitor problem loans. As part of the loan review function, the Bank engages a third-party assessment group to review the underwriting documentation and risk grading analysis. In addition to continuing to rely on third-party loan reviews, a formal internal credit review function commenced in 2010 to provide more timely responses. This function is managed by credit administration, which is independent of loan origination.

The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2010 decreased from $93.7 million to $59.4 million at June 30, 2011. As a percentage of gross loans, the allowance for loan losses declined from 7.18% at December 31, 2010 to 5.83% at June 30, 2011.

trends in the loan portfolio during the first six months of 2011 that included reductions in: nonaccruing loans of $117.2 million, loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing of $4.8 million, loans 30-89 days past due of $57.1 million and classified loans of $151.4 million. These improvements over December 31, 2010 were considered in the analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss at June 30, 2011.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, repossessed assets and other real estate owned (“OREO”). Nonperforming loans are loans placed in nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the collection of all or a portion of interest becomes doubtful. Loans are returned to accrual status when the factors indicating doubtful collectability cease to exist and the loan has performed in accordance with its terms for a demonstrated period of time. OREO represents real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and is generally carried at fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

The level of nonperforming loans decreased from $329.9 million or 25.3% of loans held for investment at December 31, 2010, to $207.9 million, or 20.4% of loans held for investment at June 30, 2011. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2011, the Bank charged off $91.6 million in loans. The majority of the loans that were charged off were loans that had been in impairment status for more than six months. OREO and repossessed assets were $101.5 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $62.2 million at December 31, 2010. Depressed market conditions have adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, the financial condition and liquidity position of certain borrowers. Additionally, the value of real estate collateral may come under further pressure from weak economic conditions and prevailing unemployment levels resulting in additional delinquencies and loans being placed on nonaccrual.

The continued softening of the real estate market through 2011 has adversely affected the Company’s net income. Real estate lending (including commercial, construction, land development, and residential) is a large portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio. These categories constitute $904.5 million, or approximately 88.8%, of the Bank’s total loan portfolio. These categories are generally affected by changes in economic conditions, fluctuations in interest rates and the availability of loans to potential purchasers, changes in tax and other laws and acts of nature. The downturn in the real estate markets in which the Company originates, purchases, and services mortgage and other loans hurts its business because these loans are secured by real estate. Further declines will adversely affect the Company’s future earnings.

Allowance for Loan Losses

In determining the allowance for loan losses and any resulting provision to be charged against earnings, particular emphasis is placed on the results of the loan review process. Consideration is also given to a review of individual loans, historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of collateral and economic conditions in the Bank’s market area. For loans determined to be impaired, the allowance is based on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”), a federal regulatory agency, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. The OCC may require the Bank to recognize changes to the allowance based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examinations. Loans are charged off when, in the opinion of management, they are deemed to be uncollectible. Recognized losses are charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance.

Estimated credit losses should meet the criteria for accrual of a loss contingency, i.e., a provision to the allowance for loan losses, set forth in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company’s methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is based on the requirements of GAAP, the Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and other regulatory and accounting pronouncements. The allowance for loan losses is determined by the sum of three separate components: (i) the impaired loan component, which addresses specific reserves for impaired loans; (ii) the general reserve component, which addresses reserves for pools of homogeneous loans; and (iii) an unallocated reserve component (if any) based on management’s judgment and experience. The loan pools and impaired loans are mutually exclusive; any loan that is impaired should be excluded from its homogenous pool for purposes of that pool’s reserve calculation, regardless of the level of impairment. However, the Bank has established a de minimis threshold for loan exposures that, if found to be impaired, will have impairment determined by applying the same general reserve rate as nonimpaired loans within the same pool.

Excluding discontinued operations, the allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of loans held for investment, amounted to 5.83% at June 30, 2011, 7.18% at December 31, 2010, and 4.58% at June 30, 2010. Net charge-offs also significantly increased in the first six months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010. A substantial portion of these 2011 charge-offs were related to impaired loans and considered either wholly impaired or with partial impairments. During 2011, net charge-offs totaled $88.1 million, of which a majority of these had reserves allotted from prior quarters. Management continually performs thorough analyses of the loan portfolio. As a result of these analyses, certain loans have migrated to higher, more adverse risk grades and an aggressive posture towards the timely charge-off of identified impairment has also continued. Actual past due loans and loan charge-offs have remained at manageable levels and management continues to diligently work to improve asset quality. Management believes the allowance for loan losses of $59.4 million at June 30, 2011 is adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio; however, assessing the adequacy of the allowance is a process that requires considerable judgment. Management’s judgments are based on numerous assumptions about current events that it believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not be valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the current allowance or that future increases in the allowance will not be required. No assurance can be given that management’s ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of changing economic conditions and other relevant circumstances will not require significant future additions to the allowance, thus adversely affecting the operating results of the Company. Changes in the allowance for loan losses are presented in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents the Bank’s investment in loans considered to be impaired and related information on those impaired loans as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:


	June 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
(dollars in thousands)	Balance		Associated Reserves		Balance		Associated Reserves
Impaired loans, not individually reviewed for impairment	$	5,297	$	—	$	717	$	—
Impaired loans, individually reviewed, with no impairment		90,273		—		132,435		—
Impaired loans, individually reviewed, with impairment		104,715		33,054		208,040		70,888

*	Included at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $1.8 million and $6.5 million, respectively, in restructured and performing loans.

Liquidity Management

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

Consistent with the general approach to liquidity, loans and other assets of the Bank are funded based primarily on a core of local deposits. To date, a stable retail deposit base and a modest amount of brokered deposits have been adequate to meet the Bank’s loan obligations, while maintaining the desired level of immediate liquidity. Additionally, a substantial investment securities portfolio is available for both immediate and secondary liquidity purposes.

The Bank maintains its excess liquidity with the Federal Reserve to reduce credit risks associated with selling those funds to correspondent banks. For the foreseeable future, the Bank is intentionally maintaining these higher cash balances to provide liquidity, notwithstanding the negative impact to the Bank’s interest income since the Bank only earns 25 basis points on its deposits with the Federal Reserve versus investing this cash in higher earning assets. Once the banking industry returns to a more stable operating environment, the Bank plans to reinvest these cash reserves into higher yielding assets, which should improve the Bank’s net interest margin.

As of June 30, 2011, available credit lines were $23.7 million. As of December 31, 2010, there were no available credit lines. The Bank has unpledged collateral of $189.9 million as of June 30, 2011, that can be used to further expand contingency funding sources.

Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, various commitments are outstanding that are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Significant commitments at June 30, 2011 are discussed below.

Commitments by the Bank to extend credit and undisbursed advances on customer lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. At June 30, 2011, total commitments to extend credit and undisbursed advances on customer lines of credit amounted to $222.9 million. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments expire without being fully drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, upon extension of credit is based on the credit evaluation of the borrower.

The Bank issues standby letters of credit whereby it guarantees the performance of a customer to a third party if a specified triggering event or condition occurs. The guarantees generally expire within one year and may be automatically renewed depending on the terms of the guarantee. All standby letters of credit provide for recourse against the customer on whose behalf the letter of credit was issued, and this recourse may be further secured by a pledge of assets. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments related to standby letters of credit was $1.6 million at June 30, 2011, $1.9 million at December 31, 2010 and $3.2 million at June 30, 2010.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The fair value of these commitments was not considered material.

The Company does not have any special purpose entities or other similar forms of off-balance sheet financing.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity

One of the primary objectives of asset/liability management is to maximize the net interest margin while minimizing the earnings risk associated with changes in interest rates. One method used to manage interest rate sensitivity is to measure, over various time periods, the interest rate sensitivity positions, or gaps. This method, however, addresses only the magnitude of timing differences and does not address earnings or market value. Therefore, management uses an earnings simulation model to prepare, on a regular basis, earnings projections based on a range of interest rate scenarios to more accurately measure interest rate risk.

The Company’s balance sheet was asset-sensitive at June 30, 2011. An asset-sensitive position means that net interest income will generally move in the same direction as interest rates. For instance, if interest rates increase, net interest income can be expected to increase, and if interest rates decrease, net interest income can be expected to decrease. The Company’s asset sensitivity is primarily derived from a large concentration in prime-based commercial loans that adjust as the prime interest rate changes. These loans are primarily funded by deposits that are not expected to reprice as quickly as the loans. Since the prime rate is not expected to decline below current levels, the Company’s risk to lower interest rates is low.

Capital Adequacy and Resources

FNB United and the Bank are required to comply with federal regulations on capital adequacy. There are two measures of capital adequacy: a risk-based measure and a leverage measure. All capital standards must be satisfied for an institution to be considered in compliance. The risk-based capital standards are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure, and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common shareholders’ equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock and qualifying trust preferred securities, net of goodwill and other disallowed intangible assets. Tier 2 capital, which is limited to the total of Tier 1 capital, includes allowable amounts of subordinated debt, mandatory convertible debt, preferred stock, trust preferred securities and the allowance for loan losses. Total capital, for risk-based purposes, consists of the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. Under the requirements of the Consent Order, the minimum total capital ratio is 12.00% and the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio is 9.00% for the Bank. At June 30, 2011, FNB United and the Bank had total

risk-based capital ratios of (10.73)% and (6.15)%, respectively, and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of (10.73)% and (6.15)%, respectively. The leverage capital ratio, which serves as a minimum capital standard, considers Tier 1 capital only and is expressed as a percentage of average total assets for the most recent quarter, after reduction of those assets for goodwill and other disallowed intangible assets at the measurement date. As currently required, the minimum leverage capital ratio is 4.0%. At June 30, 2011, FNB United and the Bank had leverage capital ratios of (7.23)% and (4.14)%, respectively. The Bank is subject to increased minimum capital requirements as part of the Order with the Comptroller of the Currency.

The Company regularly monitors the capital adequacy ratios of itself and the Bank. The Bank became critically undercapitalized as of April 29, 2011, the date its March 31, 2011 Call Report was required to be filed with the OCC, because it had a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that was below 2.0% as reported in the Call Report.

As of July 22, 2010, the Consent Order establishes specific capital amounts to be achieved and maintained by the Bank. During the period the Bank is under the Consent Order, it may not deemed “well capitalized” for capital adequacy purposes, even if the Bank exceeds the levels of capital required under the Consent Order or by regulation.

As shown in the accompanying table, FNB United and its wholly owned banking subsidiary have capital levels below the minimum levels for “adequately capitalized” bank holding companies and banks as of June 30, 2011:


							Minimum Regulatory Requirement
	Consolidated			Bank			Adequately Capitalized			Well- Capitalized			Pursuant to Order
Total risk-based capital ratio		(10.73	)%		(6.15	)%		8.00	%		10.00	%		12.00	%
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio		(10.73	)%		(6.15	)%		4.00	%		6.00	%		9.00	%
Leverage capital ratio		(7.23	)%		(4.14	)%		4.00	%		5.00	%		9.00	%

The Consent Order requires the Bank to achieve within 90 days after its date and thereafter maintain total capital at least equal to 12% of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital at least equal to 9% of adjusted total assets. Per the Consent Order, the Bank’s Board of Directors submitted to the OCC within 60 days a written capital plan for the Bank covering at least a three-year period and has submitted a revised plan since that time. The capital plan included the Board’s proposed specific plans for maintaining adequate capital and a discussion of the sources and timing of additional capital to meet the Bank’s projected growth and capital requirements. The Bank has submitted a further revised capital restoration plan that details its recapitalization efforts, including the proposed recapitalization described under Note 21, Capital Raise, Merger Agreement and Related Matters to the Company’s consolidated financial statements set forth in Item 1 above, and otherwise meets the requirements of the OCC.

The Company has engaged two investment banking firms and is taking steps to raise capital that include issuing common stock. On April 26, 2011, the Company entered into investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital for the purchase and sale of its common stock as part of a proposed $310 million capital raise. On June 16 and August 4, 2011, the Company entered into subscription agreements with various accredited investors pursuant to which those investors agreed to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock in the recapitalization. Those subscription agreements, together with the investment agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill Capital, account for $310 million in new capital for the Company. These agreements are subject to a variety of conditions. The successful completion of the recapitalization is not assured, and no assurance can be made that the revised capital restoration plan that the Bank has submitted to the OCC will be accepted. If the Company is not able to complete the recapitalization, it is expected that the Bank would be placed into receivership.

Prompt Corrective Action

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) established a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized institutions. Under this system, the federal banking regulators have established five capital categories (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized), and are required to take certain mandatory supervisory actions, and are authorized to take other discretionary actions, with respect to institutions in the three undercapitalized categories. The severity of the action will depend upon the capital category in which the institution is placed. Generally, subject to a narrow exception, the banking regulator must appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically undercapitalized.

An institution that is categorized as undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized is required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to its appropriate federal banking agency. A bank holding company must guarantee that a subsidiary depository institution meets its capital restoration plan, subject to certain limitations. The controlling holding company’s obligation to fund a capital restoration plan is limited to the lesser of 5.0% of an undercapitalized subsidiary’s assets or the amount required to meet regulatory capital requirements. An undercapitalized institution is also generally prohibited from increasing its average total assets, making acquisitions, establishing any branches or engaging in any new line of business, except under an accepted capital restoration plan or with FDIC approval. In addition, the appropriate federal banking agency may treat an undercapitalized institution in the same manner as it treats a significantly undercapitalized institution if it determines that those actions are necessary.

Non-GAAP Measures

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). FNB United’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in their analysis of FNB United’s performance. These non-GAAP measures exclude goodwill and core deposit premiums from the calculations of return on average assets and return on average equity. Management believes presentations of financial measures excluding the impact of goodwill and core deposit premiums provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of FNB United’s core businesses. In addition, certain designated net interest income amounts are presented on a taxable equivalent basis. Management believes that the presentation of net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis aids in the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

These non-GAAP financial measures are “net income (loss) per share assuming dilution adjusted for goodwill impairment charge,” “common shareholders’ equity,” “tangible common shareholders’ equity,” “tangible shareholders’ equity,” “tangible assets” and “tangible common book value per share.” The Company’s management, the entire financial services sector, bank stock analysts, and bank regulators use these non-GAAP measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance.

•

“Common shareholders’ equity” is shareholders’ equity less preferred stock.

•

“Tangible common shareholders’ equity” is shareholders’ equity less goodwill, other intangible assets and preferred stock.

•

“Tangible shareholders’ equity” is shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets.

•

“Tangible assets” are total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.

•

“Tangible book value per common share” is defined as total equity reduced by recorded goodwill, other intangible assets and preferred stock divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure discloses changes from period-to-period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets

and preferred stock. Goodwill, an intangible asset that is recorded in a purchase business combination, has the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing the tangible assets of a company. Companies utilizing purchase accounting in a business combination, as required by GAAP, must record goodwill related to such transactions.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the possible chance of loss from unfavorable changes in market prices and rates. These changes may result in a reduction of current and future period net interest income, which is the excess of interest income on interest-earning assets over interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.

The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit-taking activities. The structure of the Company’s loan and deposit portfolios is such that a significant decline in interest rates may adversely affect net market values and net interest income. The Company does not maintain a trading account nor is it subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk. Interest rate risk is monitored as part of the Company’s asset/liability management function, which is discussed above in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity.”

The Company is asset sensitive, which means that falling interest rates could result in a reduced amount of net interest income. The monitoring of interest rate risk is part of the Company’s overall asset/liability management process. The primary oversight of asset/liability management rests with the Company’s Asset and Liability Committee. The Committee meets on a regular basis to review asset/liability activities and to monitor compliance with established policies.

Management does not believe there has been any significant change in the overall performance of financial instruments considered market risk sensitive, as measured by the factors of contractual maturities, average interest rates and estimated fair values, since the analysis presented in the Company’s Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1, Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this report, FNB United carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including FNB United’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of FNB United’s disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, FNB United and its management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and FNB United’s management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation, and for the reasons described in the next paragraph, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by FNB United in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

As of December 31, 2010, FNB United concluded that a material weakness related to the timely recognition and measurement of impairment of other real estate owned existed, adversely affecting its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. During the preparation of its financial statements dated March 31, 2011, management identified a second material weakness related to the identification and recognition of subsequent events affecting the valuation of other real estate owned and impaired loans. FNB United has since that date implemented various policy changes, which include a quarterly review process and new valuation considerations to assure that proper valuation and review of OREO property is performed in a timely and accurate manner and that subsequent events are properly evaluated and considered in management’s processes to value OREO and impaired loans. FNB United reviews its disclosure controls and procedures, which may include its internal controls over financial reporting, on an ongoing basis and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness. No control enhancements during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, other than those described above, have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of operations, the Company is party to various legal proceedings. Except as disclosed below, the Company is not involved in, nor has it terminated during the second quarter of 2011, any pending legal proceedings other than routine, nonmaterial proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

The following are additions to the Risk Factors included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010:

FNB United Must Raise Substantial Additional Capital in a Short Period of Time to Remain in Business.

Although FNB United has entered into various agreements with respect to the proposed recapitalization of the Company and has secured commitments to raise all of the additional capital it is seeking, it has not been in compliance with the Consent Order or its capital directive since July 2010. The financial condition of the Bank and the Company has deteriorated significantly since that time and on June 30, 2011, the Bank’s tangible equity ratio was less than two percent, and the Bank was deemed critically undercapitalized for regulatory capital purposes as of April 29, 2011, the date its Call Report was required to be filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. It is essential that FNB United closes the proposed recapitalization (or another similar financing) in a short period of time. If the Company fails to do so, it is likely that the Company would suffer additional regulatory actions, including a federal conservatorship or receivership for the Bank, or a requirement that the Bank sell or transfer its assets or take other action that would likely result in a complete loss of the value of FNB United’s ownership interest in the Bank and a complete loss of the value of the shares held by the FNB United shareholders. More information with respect to the terms and provisions of the agreements entered into in connection with the recapitalization is contained in Note 21, Capital Raise, Merger Agreement and Related Matters, to the consolidated financial statements set forth in Part I, Item 1.

The Company Is Subject to a Number of Requirements and Prohibitions under Regulatory Orders Imposed on It and No Assurance Can Be Given as to Whether or When Such Orders Will Be Lifted.

The Bank has been subject to the Consent Order since July 22, 2010, which requires it to improve its capital position, asset quality, liquidity and management oversight, among other matters. The Bank was required to achieve and maintain by October 20, 2010, total capital at least equal to 12% of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital at least equal to 9% of adjusted total assets. In addition, the Consent Order requires the Bank to, among other things, review and revise various policies and procedures, including those associated with concentration management, the allowance for loan losses, liquidity management, criticized assets, loan review and credit.

In addition, FNB United is subject to a written agreement with the FRBR dated October 21, 2010. Among other matters, the written agreement provides that unless FNB United receives the consent of the FRBR, it cannot: (i) pay dividends; (ii) receive dividends or payments representing a reduction in capital from the Bank; (iii) make any payments on subordinated debentures or trust preferred securities; (iv) incur, increase or guarantee any debt; or (v) purchase or redeem any shares of its stock. The written agreement requires that the Board of Directors fully utilize FNB United’s financial and managerial resources to ensure that the Bank complies with the Consent Order. FNB United was also required to submit to the Federal Reserve Bank an acceptable capital plan and cash flow projections.

As of the date of this filing, the Bank was not in compliance with a number of requirements of the Consent Order, including the minimum capital requirements. Although the Company expects to be in compliance with the minimum capital requirements set forth in the Consent Order assuming the completion of the recapitalization, the recapitalization, including the contemplated private placements of FNB United common stock, remains subject to certain closing conditions, including receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. The additional capital contemplated by the recapitalization and private placements must be raised in a short period of time for the Company and the Bank to remain in business. In addition, the Bank may not be in compliance with a number of other requirements in the Consent Order even assuming the recapitalization is completed.

Completion of the Recapitalization Is Subject to Various Closing Conditions, Which May Not Be Satisfied.

Completion of the recapitalization is subject to various conditions, certain of which are outside of the Company’s control, and may not be satisfied. The closing conditions to the recapitalization include receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. No assurance can be given that all conditions will be

satisfied timely or at all. If the Company fails to consummate the recapitalization, it may not be able to continue as a going concern, it may file for bankruptcy and the Bank may be placed into FDIC receivership.

FNB United Has Incurred Significant Losses and No Assurance Can Be Given that the Company Will Be Profitable in the Near Term or at All.

FNB United has incurred significant losses over the past few years, including net losses of $135.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, $104.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $59.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. These losses have continued into 2011 with the Company experiencing a loss of $94.8 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2011. A significant portion of the losses is due to credit costs, including a significant provision for loan and lease losses. Although the Bank has taken a number of steps to reduce its credit exposure, at June 30, 2011, the Bank still had $309.4 million in nonperforming assets and it is possible that it will continue to incur elevated credit costs over the near term, which would adversely affect the Company’s overall financial performance and results of operations. No assurance can be given that the Company will return to profitability in the near term or at all even if the proposed recapitalization is completed.

If the Recapitalization and the TARP Exchange Are Completed, the Existing FNB United Shareholders’ Interests Will Be Substantially Diluted and the Market Price of FNB United Common Stock May Decrease to a Level at or below the Purchase Price in the Private Placement that is Part of the Recapitalization.

As described above, FNB United expects to complete the recapitalization and the TARP Exchange, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions to closing. Because a large number of common shares is contemplated to be issued in the private placement to investors, the merger with Bank of Granite Corporation and the TARP Exchange at a price that is significantly less than the recent trading price of FNB United common shares, the ownership interest of existing shareholders and the Company’s earnings per share will be substantially diluted and the market price of FNB United common stock may decrease to a level at or below the purchase price of the shares being issued to the investors in the private placement that is part of the recapitalization.

Assuming the Completion of the Recapitalization and TARP Exchange, Subsequent Resales of Shares of FNB United Common Stock in the Public Market May Cause the Market Price of FNB United Common Stock to Fall.

FNB United plans to issue a large number of common shares to the investors in the private placements, to the existing stockholders of Bank of Granite Corporation in the proposed merger, and to the Treasury in the TARP Exchange. Carlyle and Oak Hill will have certain registration rights with respect to the common shares held by them following a nine-month lock-up period provided in their respective investment agreements. The other investors will have certain registration rights with respect to the common shares purchased by them in the private placement until six months following the completion of the private placement. In addition, in connection with the planned TARP Exchange, the Company will provide the Treasury with certain registration rights with respect to the common shares issued to the Treasury in the TARP Exchange. The registration rights for Carlyle and Oak Hill will allow them to sell their common shares without compliance with the volume and manner of sale limitations under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and the registration rights for the other investors allow them to sell their common shares before their holding period under Rule 144 expires. The market value of FNB United common stock could decline as a result of sales by the investors from time to time of a substantial amount of the common shares held by them.

FNB United May Suffer Substantial Losses Due to Its Agreements to Indemnify Investors in the Private Placement against a Broad Range of Potential Claims.

In the agreements with Carlyle and Oak Hill, the Company has agreed to indemnify the investors for a broad range of claims, including losses resulting from the inaccuracy or breach of representations or warranties made by the Company in such agreements and the breach by the Company to perform its covenants contained in such agreements, even if the recapitalization is not completed. While these indemnities are subject to various limitations, if claims were successfully brought against the Company, it could potentially result in significant losses for the Company.

Assuming the Completion of the Recapitalization, Carlyle and Oak Hill Will Become Substantial Holders of FNB United Common Stock.

Assuming the completion of the recapitalization, each of Carlyle and Oak Hill will become holders of approximately 23% of the outstanding shares of FNB United common stock and each will have a representative on the FNB United and the Bank’s Boards of Directors. In addition, each of Carlyle and Oak Hill will have preemptive rights to maintain their percentage ownership of FNB common stock in the event of certain issuances of securities by the Company. Although each of Carlyle and Oak Hill will enter into certain passivity and non-affiliation commitments

with the Federal Reserve in connection with obtaining approval of their proposed investments in the Company, in pursuing their economic interests, Carlyle and Oak Hill may have interests that are different from the interests of the other FNB United shareholders.

Even If the Recapitalization Is Completed, the Proceeds Received May Not Be Sufficient to Satisfy the Company’s Capital and Liquidity Needs in the Future or to Satisfy Changing Regulatory Requirements, and the Company May Need to Raise Additional Capital.

Assuming the recapitalization is completed, the proceeds will be used to strengthen the Bank’s capital base as required by the Consent Order. The Company’s capital ratios are expected to exceed the levels required by the Consent Order upon completion of the recapitalization and the Company is expected to be at “well-capitalized” levels for regulatory purposes. However, despite the anticipated increase in the capital base, if economic conditions continue to be difficult or worsen or fail to improve in a timely manner, or if the Company’s operations or financial condition continues to deteriorate or fails to improve, particularly in the residential and commercial real estate markets in which the Bank operates, the Company may need to raise additional capital. Factors affecting whether additional capital would be required include, among others, additional provisions for loan and lease losses and loan charge-offs, changing requirements of regulators and other risks discussed in this “Risk Factors” section or in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K/A, Amendment No. 1, for the year ended December 31, 2010. If the Company had to raise additional capital, there can be no assurance that it would be able to do so in the amounts required and in a timely manner, or at all. Further, any additional capital raised may be significantly dilutive to the existing shareholders and may result in the issuance of securities that have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to the FNB United common stock.

The Company’s Ability to Use Net Operating Loss Carryforwards to Reduce Future Tax Payments May Be Limited or Restricted.

The Company has generated significant net operating losses (“NOLs”) as a result of its recent losses. The Company is generally able to carry NOLs forward to reduce taxable income in future years. However, the ability to utilize the NOLs is subject to the rules of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Section 382 generally restricts the use of NOLs after an “ownership change.” An ownership change occurs if, among other things, the shareholders (or specified groups of shareholders) who own or have owned, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of a corporation’s common stock or are otherwise treated as 5% shareholders under Section 382 and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder increase their aggregate percentage ownership of that corporation’s stock by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of the stock owned by these shareholders over a three-year rolling period. In the event of an ownership change, Section 382 imposes an annual limitation on the amount of taxable income a corporation may offset with NOL carryforwards. This annual limitation is generally equal to the product of the value of the corporation’s stock on the date of the ownership multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate published monthly by the Internal Revenue Service. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years until the applicable expiration date for the respective NOL carryforwards.

FNB United does not anticipate that the planned recapitalization, including the private placements, the merger with Bank of Granite Corporation, the TARP Exchange or the rights offering will cause an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382. In addition, to reduce the likelihood that future transactions in shares of FNB United common stock will result in an ownership change, on April 15, 2011, FNB United adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan, which provides an economic disincentive for any person or group to become an owner, for relevant tax purposes, of 4.99% or more of FNB United common stock. However, the Company cannot ensure that its ability to use its NOLs to offset income will not become limited in the future. As a result, the Company could pay taxes earlier and in larger amounts than would be the case if its NOLs were available to reduce its federal income taxes without restriction.
