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

As of September 30, 2011, the Bank operated four active non-bank subsidiaries: Peoples Finance Company of Lexington, Inc. (“Peoples Finance”), LSB Properties, Inc. (“LSB Properties”), Henry Properties, LLC (“Henry Properties”) and Prince George Court Holdings, Inc. (“Prince George”). Peoples Finance, a NC licensed finance company, with approximately $0.3 million of loans outstanding as of September 30, 2011, is no longer actively soliciting loans. LSB Properties, Henry Properties and Prince George together own the real estate acquired in settlement of loans of the Bank.

The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other relevant information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 24, 2011 (SEC File No. 000-11448) (the “Annual Report”). This Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This Update requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Presentation of comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity will no longer be acceptable. The update does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, the option for an entity to present components of other comprehensive income net or before related tax effects, or how earnings per share is calculated or presented. This guidance becomes effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The Company currently presents other comprehensive income in its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income and plans to adopt the new disclosure requirements in its first quarter 2012 Form 10-Q.

Reclassification

Certain items for 2010 have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income, total assets or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Note 2 — Net Income Per Share

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

Impaired loans totaled $33.8 million and $38.3 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Included in these balances were $17.0 million and $18.6 million, respectively, of loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). A modification of a loan’s terms constitutes a TDR if the creditor grants a concession to the borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider. For loans classified as TDRs, the Company further evaluates the loans as performing or nonperforming. TDRs originally classified as non-accrual are able to be reclassified as accruing if, subsequent to restructure, they experience six months of payment performance according to the restructured terms. Further, TDRs may be considered performing and subsequently removed from impaired status in years subsequent to the restructuring if it meets the following criteria:

 

   

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

   

The loan has shown at least 6 months of payment performance in accordance with the restructured terms.

Quarterly, the Company reviews those loans designated as TDRs for compliance with the previously stated criteria. In the third quarter, the Company removed 7 loans totaling $1.3 million from impaired status, due to the loans meeting performance and other criteria.

Table of Contents

Modifications of terms for loans and their inclusion as TDRs are based on individual facts and circumstances. Loan modifications that are included as TDRs may involve either an increase or reduction of the interest rate, extension of the term of the loan, or deferral of principal payments, regardless of the period of the modification. The loans included in all loan classes as TDRs at September 30, 2011 had either an interest rate modification or a deferral of principal payments, which the Company considers are concessions. All loans designated as TDRs were modified due to financial difficulties experienced by the borrower.

The Company monitors the performance of modified loans on an ongoing basis. Loans retain their accrual status at the time of their modification. As a result, if a loan is on non-accrual at the time it is modified, it stays as non-accrual, and if a loan is on accrual at the time of the modification, it generally stays on accrual. A modified loan will be reclassified to non-accrual if the loan becomes 90 days delinquent or other weaknesses are observed which make collection of principal and interest unlikely. A loan on non-accrual will be individually evaluated based on sustained adherence to the terms of the modification agreement for a minimum of six months prior to being reclassified to accrual status. TDRs are considered impaired. However, TDRs that specified a market rate of interest at the date of restructure and have performed in accordance with the revised terms for a minimum of six months may be removed from the impaired loan disclosures in years subsequent to the modification.

The Bank’s policy for impaired loan accounting subjects all loans to impairment recognition except for large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans such as credit card, residential mortgage and consumer loans. The Bank generally considers loans 90 days or more past due and all nonaccrual loans to be impaired.

Loans totaling $6,838,000 and $76,994,000 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, were held for sale, and stated at the lower of cost or market on an individual basis.

Loans totaling $567,845,000 and $569,896,000 as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, were pledged to secure lines of the credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank.

Note 5 — Stock Compensation Plans

The Company recorded $104,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, and $61,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, of total stock-based compensation expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense is calculated on a ratable basis over the vesting periods of the related stock options or restricted stock grants and is reported under personnel expense. This expense had no impact on the Company’s reported cash flows. As of September 30, 2011, there was $416,000 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense. This expense will be fully recognized by December 31, 2014.

For purposes of determining estimated fair value of the stock options and restricted stock grants, the Company has computed the estimated fair values of all stock-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and, for stock options and restricted stock grants granted prior to December 31, 2010, has applied the assumptions set forth in the Annual Report.

On February 9, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors awarded a total of 83,551 restricted stock units to certain executive officers. The fair value of these restricted stock units is $5.15 per unit, which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on that date. The restricted stock units vest over a period of four years, and are subject to the Company repaying certain portions of the funds it received under the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program. The stock-based compensation expense for these awards was immaterial for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011. There were no stock options granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Note 7 — U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program

Pursuant to the U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program, on December 12, 2008, the Company issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury (i) 52,372 shares of Bancorp’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2,567,255 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.06 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $52,372,000 in cash. The Warrant may be exercised by the U.S. Treasury at any time before it expires on December 12, 2018. The fair value of the Warrant of $1,497,000 was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Series A Preferred Stock pays cumulative dividends of 5% for the first five years and 9% thereafter, unless the Company redeems the shares.

Note 8 — Sale of Harrisonburg, Virginia Operations

On May 20, 2011, the Bank sold its Harrisonburg, Virginia operations. This transaction included the sale of approximately $72.5 million of loans and the assignment of $48.8 million of deposits, as well as a branch office building and a parcel of land. The Bank retained approximately $30.5 million of loans in its Virginia Region. The Bank provided for an estimated loss of $338,000 in the fourth quarter of 2010, and recorded a gain of approximately $71,000 in the second quarter of 2011 when the sale closed.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The discussion presented herein is intended to provide an overview of the changes in financial condition and results of operations during the time periods required by Item 303 of Regulation S-K for NewBridge Bancorp (“Bancorp” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary NewBridge Bank (the “Bank”).

The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts and results of operations of the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis is intended to complement the unaudited financial statements, notes and supplemental financial data in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and should be read in conjunction therewith.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements represent expectations and beliefs of Bancorp including but not limited to Bancorp’s operations, performance, financial condition, growth or strategies. These forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “should”, “estimates”, “believes” and variations of these words and other similar statements. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current projections depending on a variety of important factors, including without limitation: (1) recently enacted legislation, or legislation enacted in the future, or any proposed federal programs may subject Bancorp to increased regulation and may adversely affect Bancorp; (2) the strength of the United States economy generally, and the strength of the local economies in which Bancorp conducts operations, may be different than expected, resulting in, among other things, a continued deterioration in credit quality, including the resultant effect on Bancorp’s loan portfolio and allowance for credit losses; (3) the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”); (4) inflation, deflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; (5) adverse conditions in the stock market, the public debt market and other capital markets (including changes in interest rate and market liquidity conditions) and the impact of such conditions on Bancorp’s capital markets and capital management activities; (6) the timely development of competitive new products and services by Bancorp and the acceptance of these products and services by new and existing customers; (7) the willingness of customers to accept third party products marketed by Bancorp; (8) the willingness of customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for Bancorp’s products and services and vice versa; (9) the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking and securities); (10) technological changes; (11) changes in consumer spending and saving habits; (12) the effect of corporate restructurings, acquisitions and/or dispositions, and the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such corporate restructurings, acquisitions and/or dispositions; (13) the current stresses in the financial and real estate markets, including possible continued deterioration in property values; (14) unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; (15) the impact of changes in accounting policies by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); (16) adverse changes in financial performance and/or condition of Bancorp’s borrowers which could impact repayment of such borrowers’ outstanding loans; and (17) Bancorp’s success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing. Bancorp cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. See also those risk factors identified in the section headed “Risk Factors”, beginning on page 14 of Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 24, 2011 (the “Annual Report”). Bancorp undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, which may be made from time to time by or on behalf of Bancorp.

Introduction

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

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

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

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

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiary comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and conform to standards within the banking industry. The preparation of the financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q requires the Company’s management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis. A summary of the allowance for credit losses, one of the most complex and subjective accounting policies of the Company, is discussed under the headingAsset Quality and Allowance for Credit losses.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2011, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $16.7 million, a decrease of $1.5 million or 8.0%, from $18.2 million for the third quarter of 2010. Average earning assets in the third quarter of 2011 decreased $181.9 million, or 10.3%, to $1.58 billion, compared to $1.76 billion in the third quarter of 2010. Average loans decreased $126.6 million as a result of soft loan demand and the sale of approximately $72.5 million in loans in connection with the sale of the Bank’s Harrisonburg, Virginia operations. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2011 decreased $175.7 million, or 11.4%, to $1.37 billion, compared to $1.55 billion for the third quarter of 2010. The impact on net interest income caused by the decrease in earning assets was partially offset by an 11 basis points increase in taxable-equivalent net interest margin to 4.20% for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 4.09% for the third quarter of 2010.

The increase in net interest margin was due to the Company’s continued shift in focus away from higher cost time deposits and towards checking accounts and other core deposit relationships. The average yield on earning assets during the third quarter of 2011 was 24 basis points lower than the average yield on earning assets during the comparable period in 2010, while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 37 basis points during the same time period, which resulted in a 13 basis points increase in the interest rate spread in the third quarter of 2011 over the third quarter of 2010. The following table provides an analysis of average volumes, yields and rates and net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Noninterest Income and Expense

In the third quarter of 2011, noninterest income decreased to $3.3 million, from $6.5 million during the same period in 2010, primarily as a result of a $3.6 million gain on the sale of investment securities during the third quarter of 2010. Retail banking income decreased 15.9% to $2.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2010, due primarily to ongoing regulatory changes and changes in consumer behavior. Mortgage banking revenue decreased to $395,000 in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $742,000 in the third quarter of 2010, as a result of substantially reduced mortgage production. Writedowns and loss on sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“OREO”) decreased to $799,000 in the third quarter of 2011 from $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2010. Wealth management income increased $182,000 to $702,000 for the three months ending September 30, 2011 compared to the same period a year ago, as a result of an 85% increase, to $140.1 million, in assets under management compared to the prior year quarter reflecting the impact of our expanded wealth management team.

In the third quarter of 2011, noninterest expense decreased to $14.9 million from $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2010. Personnel expense increased to $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $7.4 million in the third quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of $435,000 of one time expenses related to severance costs. Technology and data processing expense, occupancy costs and furniture and equipment expenses all decreased as a result of the Company’s continued focus on a disciplined cost management culture.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first nine months of 2011, on a taxable equivalent basis, was $50.8 million, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 5.5%, from $53.8 million for the first nine months of 2010. Average earning assets in the first nine months of 2011 decreased $179.4 million, or 10.0%, to $1.62 billion, compared to $1.79 billion in the first nine months of 2010. Average loans decreased $133.7 million as a result of soft loan demand and the sale of approximately $72.5 million in loans in connection with the Bank’s termination of its Harrisonburg, Virginia operations. Average interest-bearing liabilities for the first nine months of 2011 decreased $169.2 million, or 10.7%, to $1.41 billion, compared to $1.58 billion for the first nine months of 2010. The impact on net interest income caused by the decrease in earning assets was partially offset by an increase in taxable-equivalent net interest margin, which increased to 4.21% for the first nine months of 2011, compared to 4.01% for the first nine months of 2010, an increase of 20 basis points.

The increase in net interest margin was due to the Company’s continued shift in focus away from higher cost time deposits and towards checking accounts and other core deposit relationships. The average yield on earning assets during the first nine months of 2011 was 21 basis points lower than the average yield on earning assets during the comparable period in 2010, while the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 45 basis points during the same time period, which resulted in an increase in the interest rate spread in the first nine months of 2011 of 24 basis points compared to the first nine months of 2010. The following table provides an analysis of average volumes, yields and rates and net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Noninterest Income and Expense

In the first nine months of 2011, noninterest income decreased to $10.2 million, from $13.0 million during the same period in 2010. The Company recognized gains on the sale of investment securities of $2.0 million during the first nine months of 2011, compared to gains of $3.6 million recognized during the same period in 2010. Retail banking income decreased 15.8% to $7.5 million in the first nine months of 2011 from $8.9 million in the first nine months of 2010, due primarily to ongoing regulatory changes in the industry and changes in consumer behavior. Wealth management income increased $331,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 compared to the same period a year ago, but was offset by a decrease in mortgage banking revenue of $365,000 during the same time period, as a result of substantially reduced mortgage production.

In the first nine months of 2011, noninterest expense decreased to $43.9 million from $46.2 million in the first nine months of 2010. The Company recorded decreases in all major categories, including personnel, technology and data processing expense, occupancy costs, and furniture and equipment expenses as a result of the Company’s continued focus on a disciplined cost management culture.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit losses

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

The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level consistent with management’s best estimate of probable credit losses incurred as of the balance sheet date. Major loan portfolio subgroups include: risk graded commercial loans, mortgage loans, home equity loans, retail loans and retail credit lines. Management also analyzes loans in the portfolio on an ongoing basis to evaluate current risk levels, and risk grades are adjusted accordingly. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments may be needed if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2011, the allowance for credit losses was $27.8 million, or 2.27%, of total loans outstanding compared to $28.8 million, or 2.15%, of loans outstanding at December 31, 2010, and $35.6 million, or 2.59%, of loans outstanding at September 30, 2010. At September 30, 2011, the allowance for credit losses was 63.85% of nonperforming loans compared to 56.84% at December 31, 2010 and 68.35% at September 30, 2010. Based on analysis of the current loan portfolio and levels of current problem loans and potential problem loans, management believes the allowance for credit losses to be adequate. Additional information regarding the allowance for credit losses is presented in the table headed “Asset Quality Analysis”, on the following page.

Nonperforming loans totaled $43.5 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $50.6 million at December 31, 2010 and $52.0 million at September 30, 2010. The decreases from the 2010 year end of 14% and from the prior year of 16% are primarily driven by decreases in non-accrual loans. OREO was $26.5 million at September 30, 2011, $26.7 million at December 31, 2010, and $29.6 million at September 30, 2010. Approximately $11.0 million was transferred from loans into OREO and approximately $7.3 million of such assets were disposed of during the first nine months of 2011. A net loss of $3.9 million has been recorded on disposition and writedowns of OREO in the current year, compared to a net loss of $3.7 million in the first nine months of 2010. The Company recorded $1.2 million of expenses on OREO during the first nine months of 2011, compared to $1.1 in the first six months of 2010.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $1,125,000 for the first nine months of 2011, compared to income tax expense of $251,000 for the first nine months of 2010. The Company’s effective tax rate was 25.8% for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to 10.0% for the first nine months of 2010. The change in the effective rate is primarily as a result of the reduction in tax exempt income from 2010 to 2011, as the Company sold the majority of its tax exempt investment securities during the third quarter of 2010, and also as a result of higher pre-tax income.

Interest Rate Risk Management

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

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

The Company uses several interest rate risk measurement tools provided by a national asset liability management consultant to help manage this risk. The Bank’s Asset/Liability policy provides guidance for acceptable levels of interest rate risk and potential remediations. Management provides the consultant with key assumptions, which are used as inputs into the measurement tools. The Company has not experienced any material changes in interest rate risk since the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity Management

Liquidity management refers to the policies and practices that ensure the Company has the ability to meet day-to-day cash flow requirements based primarily on activity in loan and deposit accounts of the Company’s customers. Deposit withdrawals, loan funding and general corporate activity create the primary needs 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; access to borrowed funds or lines of credit; and profits.

During the first nine months of 2011, the Company had net cash provided by operating activities of $98.3 million, compared to $20.7 million in the first nine months of 2010. The increase was primarily the result of the Company’s sale of $72.5 million of loans in connection with the termination of its Harrisonburg, Virginia operations.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the first nine months of 2011 was $50.6 million, compared to $125.4 million in the first nine months of 2010 of. This change is primarily attributable to a decrease in loans of $17.6 million during the first nine months of 2011, compared to a decrease of $65.0 during the same period of 2010. In addition, investment securities declined by $29.7 million during the first nine months of 2011, compared to a decrease of $49.8 million during the first nine months of 2010.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, financing activities used $113.9 million, compared to $85.8 million during the same period of 2010. The change was primarily the result of a $57.3 million decrease in deposits during the first nine months of 2011, compared to an increase of $11.3 million in total deposits during the first nine months of 2010. The Bank assigned approximately $48.8 million of deposits in connection with the sale of its Harrisonburg, Virginia operations during the second quarter of 2011. The change was partially offset by reductions in other borrowings, which declined to $54.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $95.1 million during the same period of 2010.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $64.0 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $29.1 million at December 31, 2010 and $105.1 million at September 30, 2010.

The Company has borrowing capacity of approximately $268.3 million with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), of which approximately $136.8 million was available at September 30, 2011. These borrowings are collateralized by FHLB stock, investment securities, qualifying 1 to 4 family residential mortgage loans, and qualifying commercial real estate loans. The Bank provides various reports to the FHLB on a regular basis to maintain the availability of the credit line. Each borrowing request to the FHLB is initiated through an advance application that is subject to approval by the FHLB before funds are advanced under the line of credit. The Bank also has $34.5 million of borrowing capacity through the Federal Reserve Bank System, of which none was used as of September 30, 2011. The line with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“Federal Reserve”) is collateralized using investment securities and qualified loans.

Capital Resources and Shareholders’ Equity

Pursuant to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”), on December 12, 2008, Bancorp issued and sold to the U.S. Treasury (i) 52,372 shares of Bancorp’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 2,567,255 shares of Bancorp’s common stock, par value $5.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $52,372,000 in cash. The Securities Purchase Agreement restricts Bancorp, without the prior approval of the U.S. Treasury, from increasing dividends payable on its common stock from the last quarterly cash dividend per share ($0.05) declared on the common stock prior to October 14, 2008, limits Bancorp’s ability to repurchase shares of its common stock (with certain exceptions, including the repurchase of its common stock to offset share dilution from equity-based compensation awards), grants the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Warrant and the common stock of Bancorp to be issued under the Warrant, certain registration rights, and subjects Bancorp to certain of the executive compensation limitations included in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and related regulations. The Bank is currently restricted from paying dividends to Bancorp unless it receives advance approval from the FDIC and the Commissioner. Additionally, the Company’s Board of Directors has resolved not to declare or pay any dividend, common or preferred, or make any payments on trust preferred securities without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve.

Bancorp did not repurchase any of its equity securities during 2010 or the first nine months of 2011.

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