          Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc. Announces 2007 Third Quarter Results

     FOUR OAKS, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2007--Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc.
(OTCBB:FOFN), the holding company for Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company, today
announced results for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The third quarter of
2007 net income represents the highest quarterly net income achieved since the
third quarter of 2006. Net income was $1.8 million and $4.3 million, or $0.29
and $0.70 per basic share, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
2007, compared to $2.1 million and $5.5 million, or $0.35 and $0.90 per basic
share, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Compared to the
same respective periods of 2006, net income decreased 15.5% and 21.9% for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. Fiscal 2007
earnings have declined from fiscal 2006 primarily due to lower margins, declines
in noninterest income, and increased operating costs related to expansion.

     For the twelve months ended September 30, 2007, return on average equity
and return on average assets were 11.46% and 0.92%, respectively, compared to
15.56% and 1.28%, respectively, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2006.
We increased the level of dividends paid to our shareholders from the $0.058 per
share that was paid in the third quarter of 2006 to $0.07 per share paid in the
third quarter of fiscal year 2007, an increase of 25%. All per share figures are
adjusted for the effect of the 10% stock dividend which will be paid on November
9, 2007, to shareholders of record on October 30, 2007.

     Net interest margin year-to-date annualized as of September 30, 2007 of
3.86% fell 55 basis points compared to 4.41% as of September 30, 2006. The third
quarter net interest margin annualized for 2007 of 3.89% compared to 4.26% in
2006, fell only 37 basis points, which is the smallest quarter to quarter
variance achieved in 2007. Growth in average earning assets of 18.1% over the
past year produced a 16.7% and 18.9% increase in total interest income for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same
respective periods of 2006. The cost of funding our assets grew 60 basis points
as our year-to-date annualized cost of paying liabilities went from 3.97% as of
September 30, 2006 to 4.57% as of September 30, 2007. Interest expense increased
29.3% and 39.9% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007,
respectively, as compared to the same respective periods of 2006. Our net
interest income after the provision for loan losses for the third quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased 7.8% and 3.0%, respectively,
compared to the same periods of 2006. Salaries and benefits expenses for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were 18.4% and 23.0% higher,
respectively, than for the same respective periods of 2006 due to new hires for
our offices that opened during 2006, administrative positions filled due to our
growth, and normal increases in wages and benefits costs. Other operating
expenses increased 10.2% and 17.5%, respectively, for third quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods of 2006.
Professional fees increased 12.3% from $747,340 at September 30, 2006, to
$839,548 at September 30, 2007, primarily related to ongoing compliance with
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

     Our balance sheet growth continued in the third quarter of 2007. Quarterly
average earning assets of $630.6 million in the third quarter of 2007 grew 16.8%
from $539.9 million in the third quarter of 2006. Net loans of $500.8 million at
