Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

BNC Bancorp (the “Company”) is a bank holding company for Bank of North Carolina (“BNC”), a wholly owned subsidiary, headquartered in High Point, North Carolina. BNC is a full service commercial bank providing commercial banking services tailored to the particular banking needs of the communities it serves in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. BNC’s primary source of revenue is derived from loans to customers, who are predominantly individuals and small to medium size businesses in BNC’s market areas.

The Company is subject to the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Bank. BNC is operating under the banking laws of North Carolina, and is subject to the rules and regulations of the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Accordingly, the Company and BNC are examined periodically by those regulatory authorities.

These consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations have been made. The information contained in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 should be referred to in connection with these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Certain amounts in the 2014 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2015 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income, net income or shareholders' equity as previously reported.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those relating to the allowance for loan losses, determination of fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and valuation of goodwill and intangible assets.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which amends the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability. This update affects disclosures related to debt issuance costs but does not affect existing recognition and measurement guidance for these items. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which amends the consolidation analysis required under GAAP. The revised guidance amends the consolidation analysis based on certain fee arrangements or relationships to the reporting entity and, for limited partnerships, requires entities to consider the limited partner’s rights relative to the general partner. Although the amendments are expected to result in the deconsolidation of many entities, the Company will need to reevaluate all of its previous consolidation conclusions. ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted (including during an interim period), provided that the guidance is applied as of the beginning of the annual period containing the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU was developed as a joint project with the International Accounting Standards Board to remove inconsistencies in revenue requirements and provide a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues. The ASU’s core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB voted to approve deferring the effective date by one year (i.e., interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017). Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date (i.e., interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The ASU may be adopted using either a modified retrospective method or a full retrospective method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables (Topic 310): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure, to clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs upon either the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property or the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. The amendments are effective for annual periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The amendments may be adopted using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

The Company incurred transaction-related costs of $1.2 million and $4.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, which were expensed as incurred as a component of non-interest expense. Transaction-related costs primarily included, but were not limited to, severance costs, professional services, data processing fees, marketing and advertising expenses.

The Company has determined the above noted acquisitions each constitute a business combination as defined by FASB ASC Topic 805: Business Combinations (“ASC Topic 805”), which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The Company has recorded the assets purchased and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 805.

The estimated fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information regarding closing date fair value becomes available. During this one year period, the causes of any changes in cash flow estimates are considered to determine whether the change results from circumstances that existed at the acquisition date or if the change results from an event that occurred after the date of acquisition.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per common share is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock during the reporting period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include incremental shares issued for stock options and restricted stock awards (collectively referred to herein as “Stock Rights”). Potentially dilutive common shares are excluded from the computation of dilutive earnings per share in the periods in which the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share calculations are presented in the following table:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
	(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Net income	$	11,014	$	6,133	$	19,772	$	12,617

Effects of dilutive Stock Rights	67,540		132,597		71,222		136,776
Weighted average participating common shares - diluted	32,652,959		29,009,915		32,704,080		28,231,852

Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.34	$	0.21	$	0.60	$	0.45

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, there were no shares of Stock Rights excluded in computing diluted common shares outstanding.

All state and municipal securities in an unrealized loss position were rated as investment grade at June 30, 2015. The Company noted that none of the securities had an unrealized loss of greater than 5% of their carrying value and the Company believes the municipal bond portfolio has a low risk of credit default. The corporate debt securities are issued by well-capitalized and sound financial institutions. The other debt securities are rated above Aa2 by Moody’s and, in the aggregate, had an unrealized loss of approximately 1% of their carrying value. The gross unrealized losses reported for the mortgage-backed securities relate to investment securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, the Government National Mortgage Association, or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. The Company does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, these investment securities before the anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses for the debt securities are caused by changes in market interest rates, as opposed to credit concerns related to the respective issuers.

Table of Contents

The equity securities held by the Company in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2015 consist of publicly-traded common stock of an investment company, as well as preferred stock of a well-capitalized and sound financial institution. The Company concluded there are no concerns about the long-term viability of the issuers. The Company has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities until the anticipated recovery of value occurs.

Based on this analysis, the Company does not consider any investment securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.

(1)	Amount includes $122.2 million and $137.5 million of acquired loans covered under FDIC loss-share agreements at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The unpaid principal balance for acquired loans covered under FDIC loss-share agreements was $123.8 million and $140.4 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

On July 1, 2015, the Company’s loss-share agreement related to the non-single family residential mortgage loans acquired from Beach First National Bank (“Beach First”) expired. Accordingly, the Company will bear all future losses on this portfolio of loans. Immediately prior to the expiration of the loss-sharing arrangement, the loans in this portfolio had a carrying value of $74.4 million.

A portion of the fair value discount on acquired covered loans has an accretable yield associated with those loans that is accreted into interest income over the estimated remaining life of the loans. The remaining non-accretable difference represents cash flows not expected to be collected. The following table details changes in the carrying amount of covered acquired loans and accretable yield for loans receivable for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014:



	2015						2014
	Accretable Yield			Carrying Value			Accretable Yield			Carrying Value
	(Dollars in thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	(2,213	)	$	137,459		$	(6,058	)	$	187,661

The Company evaluates loans acquired with evidence of credit deterioration in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 310-30: Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality ("ASC 310-30"). Credit-impaired loans are those loans showing evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable, at the date of acquisition, the Company will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Generally, the acquired loans that meet the Company’s definition for substandard status fall within the definition of credit-impaired covered loans.

The Company has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and from the Federal Reserve Bank. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, real estate loans with carrying values of $1.15 billion and $1.10 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowing facilities from these institutions.

(1)

The provision for loan losses includes the "net" provision on covered loans after coverage provided by FDIC loss-share agreements, which totaled $0 and $(0.2) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. This resulted in a decrease in the FDIC indemnification asset of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, which is the difference between the net provision on covered loans and the total reduction to the allowance for loan losses allocable to the covered loan portfolio of $(0.1) million and $(0.8) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

(2)

The provision for loan losses includes the "net" provision on covered loans after coverage provided by FDIC loss-share agreements, which totaled $0 and $(0.3) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. This resulted in an increase in the FDIC indemnification asset of $0.9 million and $0.8 million, which is the difference between the net provision on covered loans and the total additions to the allowance for loan losses allocable to the covered loan portfolio of $(0.9) million and $(1.1) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the amount of interest income recognized within the period that the loans were impaired was primarily related to loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) that remained on accrual status. The amount of interest income recognized using a cash-basis method of accounting during the period that the loans were impaired was not material.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $1.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which foreclosure proceedings were in progress.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company uses several credit quality indicators to manage credit risk in an ongoing manner. The Company's primary credit quality indicators use an internal credit risk rating system that categorizes loans and leases into pass, special mention, or classified categories. Credit risk ratings are applied individually to those classes of loans and leases that have significant or unique credit characteristics that benefit from a case-by-case evaluation. These are typically loans and leases to businesses or individuals in the classes which comprise the commercial portfolio segment. Groups of loans and leases that are underwritten and structured using standardized criteria and characteristics are typically risk rated and monitored collectively. These are typically loans and leases to individuals in the classes which comprise the consumer portfolio segment.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass - Loans classified as pass are considered to be a satisfactory credit risk and generally considered to be collectible in full.

Special Mention - Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment 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 institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as 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.

Loss - Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectable and are in the process of being charged-off, as soon as practicable, once so classified.

The following tables present the recorded investment in the Company’s loans by credit quality indicator:

Modifications

A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Company offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan; however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted. Commercial and industrial loans modified in a TDR often involve temporary or extended interest-only payments and term extensions outside of normal underwriting guidelines. Additional collateral, a co-borrower, or a guarantor is often requested. Commercial mortgage and construction loans modified in a TDR often involve reducing the interest rate for the remaining term of the loan, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or substituting or adding a new borrower or guarantor. Construction loans modified in a TDR may also involve extending the interest-only payment period. Residential mortgage loans modified in a TDR are primarily comprised of loans where monthly payments are lowered to accommodate the borrowers’ financial needs for a period of time. After the lowered monthly payment period ends, the borrower reverts back to paying principal and interest per the original terms with the maturity date adjusted accordingly. Land loans are also included in the class of residential mortgage loans. Land loans are typically structured as interest-only monthly payments with a balloon payment due at maturity. Land loans modified in a TDR typically involve extending the balloon payment by one to three years, or changing the monthly payments from interest-only to principal and interest. Home equity modifications are made infrequently and are not offered if the Company also holds the first mortgage. Home equity modifications are uniquely designed to meet the specific needs of each borrower. Occasionally, the terms will be modified to a standalone second lien mortgage, thereby changing their loan class from home equity to residential mortgage.

Loans modified in a TDR are, in many cases, already on nonaccrual status and partial charge-offs have in some cases already been taken against the outstanding loan balance. As a result, loans modified in a TDR for the Company may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan. An allowance for impaired consumer and commercial loans that have been modified in a TDR is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent. Management exercises significant judgment in developing these estimates. Once we classify a loan as a TDR, the loan is only removed from TDR classification under three circumstances: (1) the loan is paid off, (2) the loan is charged off or (3) if, at the beginning of the current fiscal year, the loan has performed in accordance with the modified terms for a minimum of six consecutive months and at the time of modification the loan’s interest rate represented a then current market interest rate for a loan of similar risk.

NOTE 6 – FDIC INDEMNIFICATION ASSET

The Company has recorded an indemnification asset related to loss-share agreements entered into with the FDIC wherein the FDIC will reimburse the Company for certain amounts related to certain acquired loans and other real estate owned should the Company experience a loss. Under the loss-sharing arrangements, the FDIC has agreed to absorb 80% of all future losses and workout expenses on these assets which occur prior to the expiration of the loss-sharing agreements. The Company entered into the respective loss-share agreements with the acquisitions of Beach First on April 9, 2010 and Blue Ridge Savings Bank on October 14, 2011.

Each loss-sharing arrangement consists of one single family residential mortgage loan agreement and one non-single family residential loan agreement. The non-single family residential loan loss-share agreements provide for FDIC loss-sharing to the end of the fiscal quarter five years from the purchase date and reimbursement to the FDIC to the end of the fiscal quarter eight years from the purchase date. The single family residential mortgage loan loss-share agreements provide for FDIC loss-sharing and reimbursement for recoveries to the FDIC to the end of the fiscal quarter ten years from the purchase date.

On July 1, 2015, the Company’s loss-share agreement related to the non-single family residential mortgage loans of Beach First expired. Accordingly, the Company will bear all future losses on this portfolio of loans and foreclosed real estate. Immediately prior to the expiration of the loss-sharing arrangement, the loans in this portfolio had a carrying value of $74.4 million and the foreclosed real estate in this portfolio had a carrying value of $0.5 million.

The following table presents activity for the FDIC indemnification asset for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014:



	2015			2014
	(Dollars in thousands)
Balance at beginning of period	$	5,097		$	16,886

Receipt of payments from FDIC	(2,163		)	(9,930		)
Balance at end of period	$	4,208		$	5,097

Table of Contents

The FDIC indemnification asset is measured separately from the related covered assets and is initially recorded at fair value. The fair value was estimated using projected cash flows related to the loss-share agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses and the applicable loss-share percentages. Cash flow projections are reviewed and updated prospectively as loss estimates related to both covered loans and covered other real estate owned ("OREO") change.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVES

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments primarily to hedge its exposure to changes in interest rates. All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. The Company does not use financial instruments or derivatives for any trading or other speculative purposes.

The primary focus of the Company’s asset/liability management program is to monitor the sensitivity of the Company’s net portfolio value and net income under varying interest rate scenarios to take steps to control its risks. On a quarterly basis, the Company simulates the net portfolio value and net income expected to be earned over a twelve-month period following the date of simulation. The simulation is based on a projection of market interest rates at varying levels and estimates the impact of such market rates on the levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during the measurement period. Based upon the outcome of the simulation analysis, the Company considers the use of derivatives as a means of reducing the volatility of net portfolio value and projected net income within certain ranges of projected changes in interest rates. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of entering into any derivative instrument agreement by measuring the cost of such an agreement in relation to the reduction in net portfolio value and net income volatility within an assumed range of interest rates. The Company also has derivatives that are a result of a service it provides to certain qualifying customers, which includes a matched book of derivative instruments offered to customers in order to minimize their interest rate risk.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company has variable rate funding which creates exposure to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. The Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction with a notional amount of $125 million, which was designated as a cash flow hedge of the changes in cash flows attributable to changes in one-month LIBOR, the benchmark interest rate being hedged, associated with the interest payments made on the first $125 million of the Company's variable rate money market funding arrangement. The Company receives interest at the one-month LIBOR rate and pays a fixed interest rate under the terms of the swap agreement. The termination date of the swap agreement is March 18, 2019.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments, which may include interest rate swaps, caps and/or floors, as part of its ongoing efforts to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure and to help its commercial customers manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with these customer contracts, the Company enters into an offsetting derivative contract position. These derivative positions are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and, due to the matched nature of these derivative instruments, changes in fair value do not impact the Company’s earnings. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had notional amounts of $35.7 million and $34.7 million, respectively, on interest rate contracts with corporate customers and in offsetting interest rate contracts with another financial institution to mitigate the Company’s rate exposure on its corporate customers’ contracts.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s derivatives:

Interest rate swaps	$	35,688	Accrued expenses and other liabilities	$	753	$	34,692	Accrued expenses and other liabilities	$	723

The derivative instruments held by the Company are subject to master netting arrangements which contain a legally enforceable right to offset recognized amounts and settle such amounts on a net basis. The Company has elected to present the financial assets and financial liabilities associated with these arrangements on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Cash collateral is posted by the counterparty with net liability positions in accordance with contract thresholds.

Information about financial instruments that are eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheets is presented in the following table:

The Company has recorded a net loss of $0.7 million, net of tax, as accumulated other comprehensive income at June 30, 2015 associated with cash flow hedging instruments and expects $1.4 million, net of tax, to be reclassified as an increase to interest expense during the next 12 months. The following table presents the amounts recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, respectively, relating to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, net of tax:



	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,

Amount of net losses reclassified from OCI to earnings (1)	—		—			—			286

(1) Amount recorded in interest expense on demand deposits in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Table of Contents

The amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to interest expense should the hedges no longer be considered effective. No amount of ineffectiveness was included in net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company will continue to assess the effectiveness of the hedges on a quarterly basis.

Counterparty Credit Risk – By entering into derivative instrument contracts, the Company exposes itself, from time to time, to counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is in an asset position, the counterparty has a liability to the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. The Company attempts to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting its exposure to any single counterparty and regularly monitoring its market position with each counterparty.

Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features – The Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions allowing the financial institution counterparty to terminate the contracts in certain circumstances, such as a default by the Company on its indebtedness or the failure to maintain its regulatory status as a well-capitalized institution. These derivative agreements also contain provisions regarding the posting of collateral by each party. At June 30, 2015, the aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $1.8 million, for which the Company has posted collateral with a fair value of $5.2 million.

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability at the measurement date. The three levels of valuations are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement, and require significant management judgment or estimation using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques.

Fair Value on a Recurring Basis – The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a recurring basis and the following is a general description of the methods used to value such assets.

Investment securities available-for-sale – The fair value of a portion of our investment in equity securities available-for-sale is determined by observing quoted prices in an active market for identical securities. As such, the Company classifies these securities as Level 1 valuation. The fair value of the remainder of our investment securities available-for-sale are determined by a third-party pricing service. The valuations provided by the third-party pricing service are based on observable market inputs, which include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data obtained from market research publications. The valuation of mortgage-backed securities also includes new issue data, monthly payment information and “To Be Announced” prices. The valuation of state and municipal securities also include the use of material event notices. We review the prices supplied by the independent pricing service, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness. At least annually, we will validate prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparing to prices obtained from a second third-party source. The Company classifies these investment securities as Level 2 valuation.

Table of Contents

Derivative assets and liabilities – The values of derivative instruments held or issued by the Company for risk management purposes 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 derivative instruments as Level 2 valuation.

The following tables present information about certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis – The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the following is a general description of the methods used to value such assets.

Loans held for sale – Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, the Company classifies loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2 valuation.

Impaired loans – The Company considers a loan impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the note agreement, including both principal and interest. Management has determined that nonaccrual loans and loans that have had their terms restructured in a troubled debt restructuring meet this impaired loan definition. For individually evaluated impaired loans, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans, which the Company classifies as a Level 3 valuation.

Other real estate owned – Other real estate owned is initially recorded 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, which the Company classifies as a Level 3 valuation.

The following table presents the valuation and unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at June 30, 2015:



Description	Fair Value (in thousands)		Valuation Methodology	Unobservable Inputs	Range of Inputs
Impaired loans	$	183,561	Appraised value	Discount to reflect current market conditions and ultimate collectability	0% - 20%

Other real estate owned	$	33,008	Appraised value	Discount to reflect current market conditions	0% - 20%

Estimated fair values of financial instruments have been estimated by the Company using the provisions of ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), which requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.

Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Table of Contents

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments that have not been previously discussed:

Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate the fair value of those assets.

Investment securities held-to-maturity - The fair value of our investment securities held-to-maturity are determined by a third-party pricing service. The valuations provided by the third-party pricing service for state and municipal securities are based on observable market inputs, which include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and the use of material event notices.

We review the prices supplied by the independent pricing service, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness. At least annually, we will validate prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparing to prices obtained from a second third-party source.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock - The fair value for FHLB stock is its carrying value, since this is the amount for which it could be redeemed. There is no active market for this stock and the Company, in order to be a member of the FHLB, is required to maintain a minimum investment.

Loans receivable, net - The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit ratings for the same remaining maturities, adjusted for the allowance for loan losses.

FDIC indemnification asset - The fair value for the FDIC indemnification asset is estimated based on discounted future cash flows using current discount rates.

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

Accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable - The carrying amount of accrued interest is assumed to approximate fair value.

Deposits - The fair values disclosed for deposits with no stated maturity (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). Fair values for deposits with a stated maturity date (time deposits) are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on these accounts to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Short-term borrowings - The carrying amount of short-term borrowings is assumed to approximate fair value.

Long-term debt – The fair value is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows using current market interest rates for similar debt over the same remaining term.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unfunded lines of credit, and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company's risk of loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitment to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments under such instruments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, is based on management's evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, real estate and time deposits with financial institutions. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent cash requirements.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the outstanding off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent potential credit risk:



	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commitments under unfunded loans and lines of credit	$	747,893	$	663,137
Letters of credit	4,266		6,607
Unused credit card lines	4,132		4,512

In addition to the above noted credit commitments, the Company has committed to invest up to $8.8 million in limited partnership interests of unconsolidated entities, of which $5.6 million was unfunded at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The Company is subject in the normal course of business to various pending and threatened legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages are asserted. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not anticipate that the aggregate ultimate liability arising out of litigation pending or threatened against the Company will be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position. On an on-going basis the Company assesses any potential liabilities or contingencies in connection with such legal proceedings. For those matters where it is deemed probable that the Company will incur losses and the amount of the losses can be reasonably estimated, the Company would record an expense and corresponding liability in its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 12 – EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors may grant or award eligible participants stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, and other stock-based awards or any combination of awards (collectively referred to herein as “Rights”). At June 30, 2015, the Company had Rights outstanding from the 2006 BNC Bancorp Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2006 Omnibus Plan"), the BNC Bancorp 2013 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the "2013 Omnibus Plan") and the KeySource Non-Statutory and Incentive Stock Option plans (the "KeySource Plans"). The 2013 Omnibus Plan and the KeySource Plans are the only plans that are available for future grants. At June 30, 2015, the Company had 128,683 Rights issued under the 2006 Omnibus Plan, 432,981 Rights issued and 949,007 Rights available for grants or awards under the 2013 Omnibus Plan, and 130,959 stock options issued and 35,607 stock options available for issuance related to the KeySource Plans.

Stock Option Awards. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected life at the time of grant. Volatility is based on the average volatility of the Company based upon previous trading history. The expected life and forfeiture assumptions are based on historical data. Dividend yield is based on the yield at the time of the option grant. There were no grants of options during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

A summary of the Company’s stock option activity for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is presented below:



	Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
	(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
Outstanding at December 31, 2014	337,778	$	11.37
Exercised	170,826	12.14
Forfeited or expired	—	—
Outstanding at June 30, 2015	166,952	$	10.57	2.35	$	1,463
Exercisable at June 30, 2015	166,928	$	10.57	2.35	$	1,463
Share options expected to vest	24	$	4.77	0.01	$	344

The related compensation expense recognized for stock options was immaterial for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At June 30, 2015, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the plans.

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock Awards. A summary of the activity of the Company’s unvested restricted stock awards for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is presented below:



	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share
Unvested at December 31, 2014	601,268		$	14.90
Granted	25,000		18.40
Vested	(97,259	)	12.97
Forfeited	(3,334	)	10.87
Unvested at June 30, 2015	525,675		$	15.45

The Company measures the fair value of restricted shares based on the price of the Company's common stock on the grant date, and compensation expense is recorded over the vesting period. The related compensation expense recognized for restricted stock awards for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. At June 30, 2015, there was $6.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock granted under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.52 years. The grant-date fair value of restricted stock grants vested during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $1.3 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to BNC Bancorp and our consolidated subsidiaries, including Bank of North Carolina (sometimes referred to as “BNC” as a separate legal entity), except where the context indicates otherwise. BNC Bancorp is individually referred to as the "Parent Company."

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, regarding the financial condition, results of operations, business plans and the future performance of the Company that are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management and the information available to management at the time that these disclosures were prepared. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and other similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:



	l	the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as amended, and other reforms will subject us to a variety of new and more stringent legal and regulatory requirements, including increased scrutiny from our regulators;



	l	changes in local, regional and international business, economic or political conditions in the regions where we operate or have significant assets;



	l	changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies of various governmental bodies and central banks could affect the economic environment in which we operate;



	l	adverse changes in credit quality trends;



	l	our ability to determine accurate values of certain assets and liabilities;



	l	adverse behaviors in securities, public debt, and capital markets, including changes in market liquidity and volatility;



	l	our ability to anticipate interest rate changes correctly and manage interest rate risk presented through unanticipated changes in our interest rate risk position and/or short- and long-term interest rates;



	l	unanticipated changes in our liquidity position, including but not limited to our ability to enter the financial markets to manage and respond to any changes to our liquidity position;



	l	adequacy of our risk management program;



	l	increased competitive pressure due to consolidation;



	l	unanticipated adverse effects and integration costs of acquisitions and dispositions of assets, business units or affiliates;



	l	our failure to realize anticipated benefits of our acquisitions or to realize the benefits within the existing time frame; or



	l	our ability to integrate acquisitions and retain existing customers and attract new ones.

Our forward-looking statements are based upon our beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements are made. We caution the reader not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements (i) as these statements are neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances and (ii) the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may differ materially from actual results. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made, except as otherwise required by law.

Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to assist readers in understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements 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 financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more critical accounting and reporting policies include accounting for the allowance for loan losses, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, and valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. Accordingly, the Company’s critical accounting policies are discussed in detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the second quarter of 2015. Additional disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in Note 1 “Basis of Presentation” included herein.

Overview and Executive Summary

BNC Bancorp was formed in 2002 to serve as the holding company for Bank of North Carolina. We provide a wide range of banking services tailored to the particular banking needs of the communities we serve. We are principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using those deposits, together with other funding from our lines of credit, to make primarily consumer and commercial loans. We have pursued a strategy that emphasizes our local affiliations and are continuously developing new and innovative products and equipping our bankers with new technology to further differentiate us as a community bank with sophisticated product delivery.

On July 1, 2015, the Company completed the previously announced merger with Valley Financial Corporation (“Valley”). None of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed or results of operations for Valley are included in the financial information as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Following the acquisition of Valley, we have 57 banking offices located in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The Bank’s 12 locations in South Carolina operate as BNC Bank. The nine banking offices of Valley Bank will be operated as branches of BNC under the name of Valley Bank until system conversions are completed.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $11.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, an increase of 80.0% from net income of $6.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $19.8 million, an increase of 56.7% from net income of $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the significant increase in interest-earning assets due to the acquisitions of South Street Financial Corporation (“South Street”) and Community First Financial Group, Inc. (“Community First”), respectively, during the second quarter of 2014, as well as the acquisition of Harbor Bank Group (“Harbor”), which closed on December 1, 2014 (collectively the "acquisitions").

Total assets at June 30, 2015 were $4.28 billion, an increase of 5.1% as compared to total assets of $4.07 billion at December 31, 2014.

The Company continues to see continued growth in economic activity in our markets, which has directly translated to an increase in lending activities. Originated loans increased by $278.0 million, or 13.1%, from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. This increase has been a direct result of the acquisitions, credit campaigns and our continued ability to attract and retain experienced loan originators.

Analysis of Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the primary source of BNC’s revenue. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowings used to fund interest-earning and other assets or activities. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates and by the amount and composition of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the sensitivity of the balance sheet to changes in interest rates, including characteristics such as the fixed or variable nature of the financial instruments, contractual maturities, repricing frequencies, and loan prepayment behavior. To compare tax-exempt asset yields to taxable yields, the yield on tax-exempt loans and investment securities is computed on a fully-taxable equivalent basis ("FTE"). Net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin are discussed on a taxable equivalent basis.

FTE net interest income for the second quarter of 2015 was $40.6 million, an increase of 13.3% from $35.8 million for the second quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in average interest-earning assets of $636.8 million, or 20.1%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, FTE net interest income was $80.5 million, an increase of 17.5%

from $68.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. These increases were due to interest-earning assets obtained from the acquisitions, as well as continued organic loan growth across the Company's markets.

The Company’s average yield on interest-earning assets was 4.95% for the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of 19 basis points from 5.14% for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the yield earned on the Company’s portfolio loans, which was 5.03% for the second quarter of 2015, as compared 5.32% for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in yield on the portfolio loans from second quarter of 2014 was partially offset by an additional $2.3 million of loan accretion from the acquired loan portfolio.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company’s average yield on interest-earning assets was 4.98%, a decrease of 24 basis points from 5.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The yield earned on our loan portfolio was 5.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to 5.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in yield on the portfolio loans from was partially offset by an additional $3.6 million of loan accretion from the acquired loan portfolio.

Average interest-bearing liabilities were $3.18 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 14.5% from $2.78 billion for the second quarter of 2014. The increase was due to an additional $281.3 million of average interest-bearing deposits, primarily from the acquisitions. The Company also increased average borrowings by $120.9 million, which is comprised of additional net borrowings from the issuance of subordinated notes during 2014 and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Company’s average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.80% for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 12 basis points from 0.68% for the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.77%, a slight increase compared to 0.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to increased time deposit rates, which were offset by reduced interest rates on borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.3 million, a decrease of 85.9% from $2.1 million recorded in the second quarter of 2014. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of 91.3% from $4.7 million for the first six months of 2014. Provision for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers factors that include recent growth, composition and industry diversification of the portfolio, historical loan loss experience, current delinquency levels, adverse situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and other relevant factors. See additional discussion under section “Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses.”

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $8.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 49.8% from $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2014. Mortgage fees have increased by 42.1%, when compared to the second quarter of 2014, which can be attributed to our continued investment in lenders and resources for the mortgage origination business unit, which has been accomplished through organic growth and the acquisitions.

Non-interest income was $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 37.2% from $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Excluding the proceeds from an insurance settlement received during the first six months of 2014, non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by 47.5%. The growth in our deposit base has also led to an increase in service charges, which have increased by 22.5% and 22.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2014.

Table of Contents

Many of the non-interest income sources, such as income from recoveries on acquired loans, income derived from the sale of loans partially guaranteed by the SBA and income derived from our investment brokerage services, are volatile and can vary significantly from period to period.

Income Taxes

Our income tax expense was $4.7 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We generate significant amounts of non-taxable income from tax-exempt investment securities and from investments in bank-owned life insurance. Accordingly, the level of such income in relation to income before income taxes significantly affects our effective tax rate. Due to an increase in our level of taxable income relative to non-taxable income, our effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 increased to 30.0%, as compared to an effective tax rate of 23.9% for the second quarter of 2014.

Our income tax expense was $8.2 million and $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased to 29.4%, as compared to an effective tax rate of 23.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Currently, all of our investments in state and political subdivisions are rated as investment grade by Standard & Poor's and/or Moody's. Investments in state and political subdivisions are subject to an initial pre-purchase credit assessment and ongoing monitoring. The factors considered in this analysis include capacity to pay, market and economic data, soundness of budgetary position, sources, strength, and stability of tax or enterprise revenue, review of the credit rating, as provided by one or more nationally recognized credit ratings agencies, as well as any other factors as are available and relevant to the security or issuer. While we do not place sole reliance on the credit rating of the security, no investment in a state or political subdivision is considered for purchase unless it has an investment grade credit rating by one or more nationally recognized credit ratings agencies. We perform additional detailed risk analysis should any security be downgraded below investment grade to determine if the security should be retained or sold. This risk analysis includes, but is not limited to, discussions with third party municipal credit analysts and review of any changes that may affect the credit worthiness of the issuer and its ability to make timely principal and interest payments.

Our evaluation of investments in state and political subdivisions at June 30, 2015 did not uncover any facts or circumstances resulting in significantly different credit ratings than those assigned by Standard & Poor's and/or Moody's.

•

Originated commercial real estate loans have increased by $175.7 million, or 14.9%, over the first half of 2014. We continue to experience strong demand for commercial real estate loans, our largest category of loans, across the large metropolitan areas in which we do business. This includes both the generation of new loans and the increased funding level for previously booked loans. Our recent acquisitions have allowed us to further penetrate key markets and these focused efforts are also leading to growth in smaller community markets as well.


•	The Company has focused additional efforts on growing the commercial and industrial loan portfolio, which has grown by $33.7 million, or 21.9% over the first six months of 2015. We anticipate continued growth in this loan category across our footprint.


•	New loan products and our credit campaigns continue to pay benefits across the Company's footprint and have been well received in the market.

At June 30, 2015, second mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit for which the Company did not own or service the related first mortgage loans totaled approximately $203.7 million, which represented approximately 98% of the total second liens held by the Company. Since substantially all first mortgage loans originated by the Company are eligible for sale in the secondary market, and the Company typically does not service the related first mortgage loans if they are sold, the Company may be unable to track the delinquency status of the related first mortgage loans and whether such loans are at risk of foreclosure by others. The Company monitors the increased credit risk associated with second mortgage loans and home equity lines of credit for which the Company does not own or service the related first mortgage loans as part of the overall management of the relationship. If the Company identifies significant deterioration in a borrower’s credit quality, the Company may freeze the borrower’s ability to make additional principal draws under the home equity lines of credit.

Home equity lines of credit are offered as “revolving” lines of credit which have a 15-year maturity and draw period. Borrowers are able to choose scheduled monthly interest-only payments during the term of the line or monthly payments of 1.5% of the outstanding principal, along with associated interest. The full principal amount is due at maturity as a lump-sum balloon payment under the interest-only payment option. At June 30, 2015, approximately 98% of the home equity lines of credit were paying scheduled monthly interest-only payments. At maturity, home equity loans are re-underwritten based on our current underwriting standards and updated appraisals are obtained. Our underwriting criteria includes analysis of the loan amount in relation to the borrower's total mortgage debt, in addition to normal credit underwriting guidelines. If the borrower qualifies under our current underwriting standards, the loans are either converted to conventional second mortgage loans that are fully amortizing or refinanced along with the existing first mortgage into a new first mortgage loan. Borrowers may be required to repay a portion of the outstanding principal balance to qualify for such renewals.

The following table summarizes the maturity dates of our home equity lines of credit at June 30, 2015:

Deposits

We provide a range of deposit services, including non-interest bearing demand accounts, interest-bearing demand and savings accounts, money market accounts and time deposits. These accounts generally pay interest at rates established by management based on competitive market factors and management's desire to increase or decrease certain types or maturities of deposits. Deposits continue to be our primary funding source. Total deposits at June 30, 2015 were $3.51 billion, an increase of 3.3% from total deposits of $3.40 billion as of December 31, 2014. Non-interest bearing deposits have increased by $86.6 million, or 16.2%, during the first six months of 2015.

Table of Contents

Wholesale deposits were 28.1% of total deposits at June 30, 2015, an increase compared to 25.7% as of December 31, 2014. The growth in wholesale deposits is part of a dedicated strategy to increase deposit duration for interest rate risk management purposes.

Borrowings

Total borrowings at June 30, 2015 were $337.7 million, an increase of 29.0% from total borrowings of $261.7 million as of December 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015, $203.7 million of these borrowings were classified as short-term, while the remaining $134.0 million were classified as long-term. This increase in borrowings was used to fund the high level of loan growth the Company has experienced in the first half of 2015.

Short-term borrowings are comprised of short-term FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal funds purchased. Many short-term funding sources, particularly Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, are expected to be reissued and, therefore, do not represent an immediate need for cash. Long-term funding is comprised of long-term FHLB advances and subordinated notes.

Asset Quality

We consider asset quality to be of primary importance, and employ a formal internal loan review process to ensure adherence to our lending policy as approved by our Board of Directors. It is the responsibility of each lending officer to assign an appropriate risk grade to every loan originated. The Company's internal credit risk review function, through focused review and sampling, validates the accuracy of commercial loan risk grades. Each loan risk grade corresponds to an estimated default probability. In addition, as a given loan's credit quality improves or deteriorates, it is Credit Administration's and the Lender’s responsibility to change the borrower's risk grade accordingly. The function of determining the allowance for loan losses is fundamentally driven by the risk grade system. 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 historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of collateral, economic conditions in our market area and other factors. 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. The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of the appropriate level of reserve to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our policy regarding past due loans normally requires a prompt charge-off to the allowance for loan losses following timely collection efforts and a thorough review. Further efforts are then pursued through various means available. Loans carried in a nonaccrual status are generally collateralized and probable losses are considered in the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due and OREO, totaled $58.4 million, or 1.37% of total assets, at June 30, 2015, as compared to $67.3 million, or 1.65% of total assets, at December 31, 2014. Nonperforming assets that were not acquired by the Company totaled $33.8 million at June 30, 2015, an increase of 4.0% from $32.5 million at December 31, 2014.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, including the recognition of interest income on loans, unless we place a loan on nonaccrual basis. We account for loans on a nonaccrual basis when we have serious doubts about the ability to collect principal or interest in full. Loans are generally classified as nonaccrual if they are past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a period of more than ninety (90) days, unless such loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. Amounts received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied first to principal and then to interest only after all principal has been collected.

At June 30, 2015, we had $25.4 million in nonaccrual loans, an increase from $24.7 million at December 31, 2014. Nonaccrual loans that were originated by the Company increased by $4.5 million from December 31, 2014, while acquired nonaccrual loans decreased by $3.9 million from December 31, 2014. The Company had a small number of large dollar loan relationships that moved to non-accrual during the first quarter of 2015. These loans were fully reserved under the allowance for loan losses prior to the move to non-accrual.

At June 30, 2015, we had $33.0 million in OREO, a decrease of 22.4% from $42.5 million at December 31, 2014. OREO properties that were originated by the Company decreased by $3.2 million from December 31, 2014, while acquired OREO property decreased by $6.3 million. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company initiated an aggressive disposition strategy by writing down certain OREO in order to sell these properties.

TDRs are modified loans in which a concession is provided to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. Nonaccrual TDRs are included in nonaccrual loans, whereas accruing TDRs are excluded from nonaccrual loans as it is probable that all contractual principal and interest due under the restructured terms will be collected. We accrue interest on TDRs at the restructured interest rate when management anticipates that no loss of original principal will occur.

Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses was $30.6 million at June 30, 2015, a slight increase from $30.4 million at December 31, 2014. Loan loss reserves to total portfolio loans were 0.94% and 0.99% at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The ratio of the allowance for loans originated by the Company to total originated loans was 1.13% at June 30, 2015, as compared to 1.25% at December 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

The Company experienced $1.0 million in net recoveries of previously charged-off loans during the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to net charge-offs of $2.0 million, or 0.32% of average loans, during the second quarter of 2014. Gross charge-offs were $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $4.0 million during the second quarter of 2014.

The Company has net recoveries of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to net charge-offs of $6.6 million, or 0.55% of average loans, for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Gross charge-offs were $2.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $9.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, we enhanced the methodology used to calculate the allowance for loan losses by incorporating a detailed loss migration analysis using historical loss experience of 60 months, and changing the assumptions used in calculating loss reserve rates from two-year historical charge-offs to using probability of default and loss-given default. See further details of the Company's accounting policy for the calculation of the allowance for loan losses in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of an amount adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio in the normal course of business. We make specific allowances that are allocated to certain individual loans and pools of loans based on risk characteristics, as discussed below. While management believes that it uses the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary and results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders’ equity was $403.6 million at June 30, 2015, an increase from shareholders’ equity of $390.4 million at December 31, 2014. On July 1, 2015, in connection with the acquisition of Valley, the Company issued 5.5 million shares of voting common stock as consideration.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action prescribe specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. We use our capital primarily for our lending activities as well as acquisitions and expansions of our business and other operating requirements.

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board approved and published the final Basel III Capital Rules establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The rules implement the Basel Committee’s December 2010 framework (“Basel III”) for strengthening international capital standards as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Basel III Capital Rules, among other things, (i) introduce a new capital measure called “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”), (ii) specify that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting specified requirements, (iii) define CET1 narrowly by requiring that most deductions/adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital and (iv) expand the scope of the deductions from and adjustments to capital as compared to existing regulations. The Basel III Capital Rules were effective for BNC and the Company on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period for certain components). CET1 capital for the Company and BNC consists of common stock, related paid-in capital, and retained earnings. In connection with the adoption of the Basel III Capital Rules, we elected to opt-out of the requirement to include most components of accumulated other comprehensive income in CET1. CET1 for both the Company and BNC is reduced by goodwill and other intangible assets, net of associated deferred tax liabilities and subject to transition provisions.

Basel III limits capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.50% of CET1 capital, Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016, at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, increasing each year until fully implemented at 2.50% on January 1, 2019. When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, Basel III will require (i) a minimum ratio of CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.50%, plus a 2.50% capital conservation buffer, (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.00%, plus the capital conservation buffer, (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.00%, plus the 2.50% capital conservation buffer and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.00%.

The Company's capital levels remained characterized as "well-capitalized" under the Basel III Capital Rules. The capital adequacy ratios for the Company and BNC are set forth below:

Liquidity

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that the Company has the ability to generate sufficient cash or cash equivalents in a timely and cost-effective manner to satisfy the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers and to meet its other commitments as they fall due, including the ability to pay dividends to shareholders, service debt, invest in subsidiaries or acquisitions, and satisfy other operating requirements. In addition to satisfying cash flow requirements in the ordinary course of business, the Company actively monitors and manages its liquidity position to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet cash flow requirements in adverse situations.

The Company also has multiple funding sources that could be used to increase liquidity and provide additional financial flexibility. In August 2014, the Company filed a $150 million shelf registration statement with the SEC under which the Company may, from time to time, offer senior debt securities, subordinated debt securities, convertible debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, warrants or units. In September 2014, the Company issued $60 million of subordinated notes, callable October 1, 2019, and due October 1, 2024, under the shelf registration statement.

While dividends from BNC and proceeds from issuance of capital are primary funding sources for the Parent Company, these sources could be limited or costly (such as by regulation or subject to the capital needs of its subsidiaries or by market appetite for bank holding company stock). The Parent Company received dividends of $5.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 from subsidiaries.

BNC has $105.0 million of established federal funds and other unsecured lines with counterparty banks, with no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2015. BNC also has the ability to borrow from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank, with $411.4 million and $164.0 million, respectively, in available credit at June 30, 2015. BNC also has excess loan and investment securities collateral which could be pledged to secure additional deposits or to counterparty banks, the FHLB or other parties as necessary. The Company has used a portion of the excess liquidity obtained from Valley and repaid approximately $37 million of short-term FHLB advances during July 2015. In addition, the Company has a $15 million line of credit facility with no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2015.

Investment securities are an important tool to the Company’s liquidity objective. Of the $557.7 million in the Company's investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2015, $320.1 million are designated as available-for-sale. Some of these securities are pledged to secure collateralized deposits, borrowings and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. The remaining investment securities could be pledged or sold to enhance liquidity, if necessary.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities and financing activities was $28.9 million and $184.0 million, respectively, while net cash used in investing activities was $225.3 million, for a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $12.3 million since December 31, 2014. The primary cash outflows during the six months ended June 30, 2015 related to the increase in loans and purchases of investment securities, while the primary cash inflows related to cash received from core operations, increases in deposits, and additional short-term borrowings.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities and investing activities was $9.7 million and $67.3 million, respectively, while net cash used in financing activities was $48.6 million, for a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $28.4 million since December 31, 2013. The primary cash outflows during the first six months of 2014 related to the increase in loans, decrease in deposits and repayment of short-term borrowings, while the primary cash inflows related to cash received from core operations, cash received from the acquisitions, and proceeds from the sale of investment securities.

Contractual Obligations

We presented our contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no significant changes in those obligations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various types of transactions that include commitments to extend credit that are not included in loans receivable, net, presented on our consolidated balance sheets. We apply the same credit standards to these commitments as we use in all our lending activities and have included these commitments in our lending risk evaluations. Our exposure to credit loss under commitments to extend credit is represented by the amount of these commitments. We do not expect that all such commitments will fund. See Note 11 to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As described in more detail in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, asset/liability management involves the evaluation, monitoring and management of interest rate risk, liquidity and funding. While the Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the Company’s asset/liability management policies, BNC’s Asset and Liability Committee monitors loan, investment, and liability portfolios to ensure comprehensive management of interest rate risk and adherence to BNC’s policies.

Table of Contents

The Company has not experienced any material change in the risk of its portfolios of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015. See Note 7 “Derivatives” to the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this report for more information on the Company’s strategies to hedge its interest rate risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as required under Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2015. No changes were made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act of 1934) during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
