For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, net income available to common shareholders was $3.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $12.2 million, or $1.39 per diluted share reported for the same period in 2010. The 2010 results include $11.8 million of after-tax gains from a FDIC assisted acquisition.

Total assets at September 30, 2011 were $2.20 billion, compared to $2.15 billion and $2.18 billion at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.

At September 30, 2011, the Bank's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 7.57% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 10.80%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 12.37%. 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 $343 million, a $51 million indemnification receivable from the FDIC, and $263 million of loans covered by the FDIC loss-share agreement. During the quarter, tangible book value increased from $9.05 to $9.59, due to capitalized earnings less dividends and changes in the mark-to-market on investment securities and derivatives used to hedge funding costs. At quarter end, the net mark-to-market position is a positive $373,000, resulting in core tangible book value without mark-to-market of $9.55.

W. Swope Montgomery, Jr., President and CEO, noted, "I am pleased to report an exciting quarter for our Company. We continue to see improvements in our core earnings power driven by double-digit growth rates in non-covered loans and improving asset quality metrics. While we have sacrificed some earnings over the past two years as we invested in new markets, product lines and support infrastructure, we are pleased that these investments in our future have begun to drive gains in both net interest income, non-interest income and core loans over the past four quarters. With a strong pipeline of relationship-based credits and increasing mortgage and SBA origination volume, we head into the fourth quarter with continued momentum."

Montgomery continued, "The investment in people over the past several years is not only driving organic growth, it has made it possible for us to integrate the Beach First acquisition successfully, and position our Company to take advantage of two recent acquisition opportunities. We announced in August that we are acquiring Regent Bank in Greenville, South Carolina in an all cash transaction. Regent Bank will give us an immediate regional headquarters location in the vibrant upstate of South Carolina on which to expand our retail, commercial, wealth, and mortgage platforms. In addition, less than two weeks ago we acquired Blue Ridge Savings Bank in Asheville, North Carolina in a FDIC assisted transaction. These two acquisitions provide a solid base for future growth with over 10 offices and $210 million in deposits in the Asheville/Spartanburg/Greenville broadcast media market."

Total deposits at September 30, 2011 were $1.84 billion, a decrease of $20.0 million from September 30, 2010. While overall deposit growth continues to be an emphasis for the Company, the more important element is the increase in transactional account deposits. Over the one-year period, transactional accounts, which are comprised of non-interest bearing and interest-bearing demand accounts, increased $72.5 million, while time deposits decreased $92.4 million At September 30, 2011, time deposits were 47.5% of total deposits, compared to 51.9% and 47.9% at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively. With several potential acquisitions being considered that could provide excess core deposits, management chose to fund most of the growth in the third quarter with short-term funding through FHLB advances or short-maturity wholesale time deposits. The longer-term objective is to continue the recent trends towards reducing wholesale funding and growing core deposit funding. Management believes that the Blue Ridge Saving Bank acquisition will provide good markets for core deposit growth.

Non-interest income was $3.8 million and $2.4 million for the third and second quarter of 2011, compared to $3.9 million for the year-ago third quarter. Included in non-interest income for the third quarter of 2011 was $1.0 million of net gains on sales of investments, compared to $63,000 of loss for the third quarter of 2010. Also during the third quarter of 2010, the Company reported $2.0 million of income associated with accretion of the discount on the FDIC receivable for payments received and related loss share receipts compared to $250,000 during the third quarter of 2011. Excluding the FDIC related income and the sales of investment securities, non-interest income was $ 2.6 million for the current quarter, up 32.7% from the $1.9 million reported for the third quarter of 2010. The increases were primarily due to increases in service charges and fees of $67,000; increases in earnings on bank-owned life insurance of $194,000; increases in brokerage activity of $224,000; and increases in mortgage fee income of $119,000. 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 increases in mortgage origination volume and fee income in future periods. In addition, the Company's new SBA division became operational during 2011, with $120,000 of SBA fee income recorded during the third quarter of 2011. In comparison to the second quarter of 2011, recurring non-interest income increased $265,000.

Non-interest income was $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $27.0 million for the same period in 2010. Included in non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $19.3 million of gain on acquisition from a FDIC assisted transaction.

Non-interest expenses for the third quarter of 2011 decreased $764,000 compared to the same quarter a year ago, and were $178,000 lower than the second quarter of 2011. Loan, foreclosure and collection expenses decreased by $1.3 million during the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the same quarter in 2010, primarily from a $765,000 decrease in the writing down of OREO properties, and were $59,000 higher than the second quarter of 2011.

The Company's personnel costs have increased $1.3 million, or 18.3%, during the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the same quarter a year ago, and were $529,000 higher than the previous quarter. All of the increases in personnel costs are attributable to investments in the new mortgage and SBA lending platforms, as well as additions to our teams in Charlotte and Raleigh, all of which are expected to contribute to our long-term focus on driving both top line and fee income growth. Professional and other services and other expenses decreased by $172,000 and $515,000, respectively, when compared to the same quarter a year ago, primarily from costs associated with the acquisition during 2010. All other non-interest expense categories have seen nominal changes when compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Non-interest expense was $44.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $38.0 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of $6.4 million. This increase was primarily in salaries and employee benefits, increasing $5.0 million, from both investments in new lending platforms and having a full nine months of expense from the prior year acquisition.

Asset Quality

Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2011 were $2.7 million, or 0.70% of average loans annualized compared to $4.0 million, or 1.04% reported for the second quarter of 2011. Nonperforming assets not covered by loss share were 2.75% of total assets and 6.24% including covered assets at September 30, 2011, compared to 3.05% and 6.60%, respectively, at June 30, 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 September 30, 2011, the carrying value of loans and OREO covered by loss-share was $262.7 million and $22.7 million, respectively, with a corresponding indemnification receivable from the FDIC of $50.7 million. These carrying values reflect the Company's final valuations from its second quarter 2010 FDIC assisted acquisition.

During the third quarter of 2011, BNC recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.5 million, an increase from the $3.0 million recorded during the second quarter of 2011. The allowance for loan losses was $24.2 million at September 30, 2011, and $23.4 million at June 30, 2011. Loan loss reserves to total period-end loans were 1.54% and 1.53% at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively, having decreased from the 1.65% reported at December 31, 2010. This decrease was a result of partially or fully reserved loans being charged-off after December 31, 2010. Excluding the loans acquired in the FDIC-assisted transaction that were marked to fair value, loan loss reserves to period-end loans decreased from 1.88% and 2.07% reported at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, to 1.85% at September 30, 2011. Management considers the loan loss reserve adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2011.

Nonaccrual loans not covered by loss share agreements totaled $29.8 million at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $2.0 million compared to $31.8 million at June 30, 2011. Loans migrating into nonaccrual status during the quarter totaled $11.1 million. Nonaccrual loans covered by loss-share totaled $61.7 million, a decrease of $548,000 compared to $62.3 million at June 30, 2011. Loans migrating into nonaccrual status during the quarter that are covered by loss-share totaled $8.9 million.

Troubled Debt Restructures (TDR's) increased $6.5 million during the quarter to $46.4 million, of which $9.4 million is in nonaccrual status. At September 30, 2011, there was $7.0 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 $22.7 million at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $1.6 million from the $24.3 million reported at June 30, 2011. The change primarily consisted of $2.4 million in additions at fair value, $936,000 in write-downs, and $3.3 million in sales. Of the $22.7 million in OREO at quarter-end, $13.7 million is either under contract for sale or under a scheduled lot takedown.

Commenting on asset quality, Montgomery noted, "Our asset quality metrics continue to show improvement. The diversity and growth in the loan portfolio have supported a much improved ratio of pass credits to watch and substandard. Our ongoing aggressive approach to marking assets to recognize impairments continued to pay-off as we see a solid pipeline of contracts on OREO. We anticipate a continued reduction in NPA's over the next few quarters and a continued improvement in disposition opportunities. There continues to be elevated unemployment in many of our legacy markets, however the majority of the larger distressed A&D, land and construction loans have been spread across the footprint and not concentrated in any particular real estate market. Over the past several years we have been able to reduce our construction and A&D loan portfolio by approximately $170 million and are aggressively positioning the remaining portfolio for divesture over the next year. The market continues to be a challenge, however we would anticipate a steady decline in both total NPA's and expenses associated with the management of those assets as NPA's seemed to have peaked in the second quarter of this year."

Capital Position

The Company continues to maintain strong capital ratios. Shareholders' equity was $162.6 million at September 30, 2011, a decrease of $2.9 million from September 30, 2010. Tangible common book value per share was $9.59 at September 30, 2011, a decrease from $9.97 at September 30, 2010 and an increase from $9.05 at June 30, 2011. Core tangible book value, which excludes the very volatile mark-to-market component, increased to $9.55 at September 30, 2011, up from the $9.38 at June 30, 2011. The mark-to-market components of equity increased from a net loss of $3.0 million at June 30, 2011 to a net gain position of $373,000 at September 30, 2011. The net unrealized gains in the available for sale investment portfolio were offset by the loss position relating to the value of the interest rate caps on funding. Despite the mark-to-market offset, the hedged transaction utilizing the interest rate caps 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.

On October 25, 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 November 25, 2011 to shareholders of record on November 11, 2011.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. BNC Bancorp's management uses these "non-GAAP" measures such as "core" or "recurring" earnings in their analysis of the Company's performance. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a greater understanding of ongoing operations and enhance comparability of results with prior periods as well as demonstrating the effects of significant gains and charges in the current period. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
