For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net income available to common shareholders was $1.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to $12.1 million, or $1.59 per diluted share reported for the same period in 2010. As noted above, the 2010 results include the one-time gain from the FDIC assisted transaction.

Total assets at June 30, 2011 were $2.15 billion, compared to $2.16 billion at both the ends of the first quarter of 2011 and second quarter of 2010.

At June 30, 2011, the Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 7.61%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.13%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 12.82%. The Bank and the Company have a high concentration of assets in the 20% risk-weighting category, primarily consisting of government agency and municipal securities with a fair value of $316 million, a $61 million indemnification receivable from the FDIC, and $284 million of loans covered by the FDIC loss-share agreement.

W. Swope Montgomery, Jr., President and CEO, noted, "We are pleased with the results for the second quarter. The core earnings power of our Company continues to improve, non-covered loans are growing at a rate in excess of 10%, and early stage credit delinquencies are trending back to more normal levels. While many in our industry are struggling with top line growth, we are very pleased that our investments over the past two years in new markets and support infrastructure continue to drive gains in both net interest income and core loans. The receptions to our recent entries into the Charlotte and Raleigh markets have been overwhelming, with deposit and loan generation well above plan, and a loan pipeline of over $80 million in each market. Our investment in regional leadership, strong central and regional credit departments, and experienced and seasoned teams of bankers in each of these markets is providing an engine for current and future loan growth."

Montgomery continued, "We are also excited about the prospects for the two newest areas of the Company - a more robust and scalable mortgage platform, and an SBA loan origination department. In each of these areas, the quality of the leadership, and teams they have assembled, makes the two year search process worth the time and commitment. While both of these departments were still in their development stage through most of the second quarter, we are confident they should contribute significantly in the third quarter and beyond to enhance and diversify our non-interest income sources."

Highlights June 30, 2011 versus March 31, 2011:

    --  Net income available to common shareholders increased $.01 to $.10 per
        share

        --  Pre-tax pre-credit (FTE) core earnings power remained unchanged at
            $7.2 million(PTPC also includes valuation adjustments and direct
            costs to manage nonperforming assets)
    --  Net interest income increased to $16.8 million, an $88,000 increase
    --  Net interest margin remained stable, declining by 3 basis points to
        3.84%
    --  Performing non-covered loan portfolio -- 30-89 day past dues declined
        from 1.16% to 0.50% during the quarter
    --  Performing covered loan portfolio -- 30-89 day past dues declined from
        13.2% to 2.4% over the past year.
    --  Special mention or watch credits in the non-covered portfolio declined
        to 5.2% at the end of June 2011, down from 10.5% one year earlier.
    --  Total loans remained stable at $1.53 billion
        --  Total accruing loans increased $9.2 million, a 2.6% annualized rate
        --  Non-covered portfolio loans increased $17.6 million, a 5.7%
            annualized rate
        --  Non-covered and accruing portfolio increased despite $28.9 million
            that was refinanced into the permanent commercial mortgage markets

        areas to be at least breakeven in the third quarter based on current
        pipelines.

The above results include the impact from the acquisition of Beach First during the second quarter of 2010. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC where, pursuant to the terms of these agreements, the FDIC will reimburse the Company for 80% of losses incurred from the acquired loans and foreclosed real estate ("covered loans", "covered assets" and "covered"), and beginning with the first dollar of loss incurred.

Additional Operating Highlights from Second Quarter

Growth in the non-covered portfolio was net of the $28.9 million in loans that were refinanced into the permanent commercial mortgage markets during the second quarter of 2011. At June 30, 2011, the Company's loan portfolio includes $283.7 million in covered loans being carried at fair value and $1.24 billion in loans that have a related allowance for loan losses and are not covered under loss share agreements.

Non-interest income was $2.4 million for the second and first quarter of 2011, compared to $21.7 million for the year-ago quarter. Included in non-interest income for the second quarter of 2010 was $19.3 million of gain on acquisition from a FDIC assisted transaction. Excluding the acquisition gain and gains on sales of investment securities, non-interest income was $ 2.3 million for the current quarter, up 25.8% from the $1.8 million reported for the second quarter of 2010. The increases were primarily due to increases in service charges and fees of $107,000; increases in earnings on bank-owned life insurance of $192,000; and increases in brokerage activity of $164,000. Off-setting these increases were a decrease in mortgage fee income of $51,000. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company's original mortgage origination platform was terminated and replaced with a more robust platform that is expected to drive mortgage origination volume and fee income significantly higher starting in the third quarter of 2011. In comparison to the first quarter of 2011, excluding mortgage fee income, recurring non-interest income increased $147,000.

Non-interest income was $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $23.1 million for the same period in 2010. Included in non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $19.3 million of gain on acquisition from a FDIC assisted transaction.

Non-interest expenses for the second quarter of 2011 increased $1.3 million compared to the same quarter a year ago, and were $161,000 higher than the first quarter of 2011. Loan, foreclosure and collection expenses increased by $746,000 compared to the same quarter in 2010, and were $160,000 lower than the first quarter of 2011. The higher level of loan, foreclosure and collection expense primarily relates to the write-down of other real estate owned properties and the on-going expenses relating to these properties. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company recorded $1.0 million of other real estate valuation adjustments. The Company's personnel costs have increased $1.3 million, or 21.4%, compared to the same quarter a year ago, and were $384,000 higher than the previous quarter. All of the increases in personnel costs are attributable to investments in the new mortgage and SBA lending platforms which, when fully-operational in the third quarter, are expected to contribute significantly to our long-term focus on enhancing noninterest income sources. Professional and other services and other expenses decreased by $684,000 and $329,000, respectively, primarily from costs associated with the acquisition during 2010. All other non-interest expense categories have seen nominal increases when compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Asset Quality

Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2011 were $4.0 million, or 1.04% of average loans annualized compared to $4.0 million, or 1.07% reported for the first quarter of 2011. Nonperforming assets not covered by loss share at June 30, 2011 were 3.05% of total assets, and were 6.60% including covered assets, compared to 3.03% and 6.54%, respectively, at March 31, 2011. The covered assets are covered by a FDIC loss-share agreement that provides 80% protection on those assets and are being carried at estimated fair value.

At June 30, 2011, the carrying value of loans and OREO covered by loss-share was $283.7 million and $23.3 million, respectively, with a corresponding indemnification receivable from the FDIC of $61.0 million. These carrying values reflect the Company's final valuations from its second quarter 2010 FDIC assisted acquisition.

During the second quarter of 2011, BNC recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.0 million, a decrease from the $3.5 million recorded during the first quarter of 2011. The allowance for loan losses was $23.4 million at June 30, 2011, and $24.3 million at March 31, 2011. Loan loss reserves to total period-end loans decreased from 1.59% and 1.65% reported at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, to 1.53% at June 30, 2011. This decrease was a result of partially or fully reserved loans being charged-off during the quarter. Excluding the loans acquired in the FDIC-assisted transaction that were marked to fair value, loan loss reserves to period-end loans decreased from 1.98% and 2.07% reported at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, to 1.88% at June 30, 2011. Management considers the loan loss reserve adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2011.

Nonaccrual loans not covered by loss share agreements totaled $31.8 million, a decrease of $2.2 million compared to $34.0 million at March 31, 2011. Loans migrating into nonaccrual status during the quarter totaled $9.4 million. Nonaccrual loans covered by loss-share totaled $62.3 million, a decrease of $7.1 million compared to $69.4 million at March 31, 2011. Loans migrating into nonaccrual status during the quarter that are covered by loss-share totaled $2.4 million.

Troubled Debt Restructures (TDR's) increased $1.0 million during the quarter to $39.9 million, of which $9.9 million is in nonaccrual status. At June 30, 2011, there was $2.2 million of TDR's covered under loss-share. The majority of the TDR portfolio consists of performing residential A&D and construction loans that were renewed at extended amortization terms or interest-only terms deemed to be concessionary in the current economic environment.

OREO not covered by loss share agreements totaled $24.3 million at June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.6 million from the $21.7 million reported at March 31, 2011. The change primarily consisted of $8.1 million in additions at fair value, $1.0 million in write-downs, and $5.0 million in sales. Of the $24.3 million in OREO at quarter-end, $12.8 million is either under contract for sale or under a scheduled lot takedown.

Commenting on asset quality, Montgomery noted, "Our posture of continuing to aggressively address problem credits, take the appropriate charges and pursue strategies for liquidation, has contributed to asset quality metric improvements. Pass rated credits continue to rise as a percentage of the portfolio as watch and special mention credits have decreased significantly. We remain committed to taking aggressive charges and positioning assets appropriately for liquidation. There continues to be elevated unemployment levels in several of our legacy markets, thus expansions into more diversified and healthy markets over the past two years is paying dividends. While we have significantly decreased our construction, land and A&D portfolio over the past several quarters, we still have exposure that requires considerable attention as we work to reposition properties for a successful outcome."

Capital Position

The Company continues to maintain strong capital ratios. Shareholders' equity was $157.6 million at June 30, 2011, a decrease of $6.6 million from June 30, 2010. Tangible common book value per share was $9.05 at June 30, 2011, a decrease from $9.82 at June 30, 2010 and an increase from $8.70 at March 31, 2011. Core tangible book value, which excludes the very volatile mark-to-market component, increased to $9.38 at June 30, 2011, up from the $9.31 at March 31, 2011. The mark-to-market components of equity increased from a net loss of $5.5 million at March 31, 2011 to a net loss position of $3.0 million at June 30, 2011. All of the loss position relates to the value of the interest rate cap on funding, which has declined in value at a more rapid rate than the appreciation in the marketable securities being hedged. Despite the mark-to-market decline, the hedged transaction continues to provide a positive spread in excess of 2.2% on $250 million. All of the Bank's and Company's capital ratios exceeded the minimum thresholds established for a well-capitalized bank by regulatory measures.

Montgomery noted, "We are pleased to share that BNC Bancorp has applied for approximately $40.0 million of capital under the Treasury Department's Small Business Lending Fund capital program ("SBLF"). If our application is approved by the Treasury Department, the SBLF proceeds would be used to redeem the $31.2 million of CPP preferred stock. The new SBLF capital program is structured to allow for the dividend rate to drop commensurate with the Company's increase in qualified small-business lending within our communities. Based on dollar and percentage growth in qualifying small business loan categories over the June 30, 2010 baseline calculation, if approved, we anticipate the dividend rate on the SBLF capital to be 1%."

On July 19, 2011, the Board of Directors of BNC declared a $0.05 per share quarterly cash dividend on its common stock and Series B Preferred stock, payable August 26, 2011 to shareholders of record on August 12, 2011.
