Explanatory Note


Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to amend and restate financial statements and other financial information filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These amendments are being filed to correct errors in the originally filed Form 10-Q related to the Company’s derivative accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”).


Since late in 2003, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the interest rate risk inherent in certain of its brokered certificates of deposit.  From inception, the Company has applied a method of fair value hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 (the “short-cut” method) that is appropriate if the hedging transactions are perfectly effective.  However, after further examination in light of recent developments and discussions with its independent registered public accounting firm, Dixon Hughes PLLC, the Company and its Audit Committee concluded that the swap transactions did not qualify for the “short-cut” method and documentation regarding these transactions did not meet the technical requirements of SFAS No. 133.  Therefore, any fluctuations in the market value of these interest rate risk management derivatives should have been recorded through the Comp any’s income statement.  There is no effect on the Company’s cash flows from these revisions.  Although these swaps have performed as expected, by providing an economic hedge against interest rate risk, the Company determined that it did not have adequate documentation at the inception of the interest rate swap agreements to qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133.  


Except as otherwise specifically noted, all information contained herein is as of March 31, 2006 and does not reflect any events or changes that have occurred subsequent to that date. We are not required to update and we have not updated any forward-looking statements previously included in the Form 10-Q filed on May 15, 2006.


This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 amends Items 1 and 2 of Part 1.  For additional information on the restatement see Note 2 – Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.  The remaining Items contained within this Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A consist of all other Items originally contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2006, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2006.  This Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-Q, nor modify or update those disclosures in any way other than as required to reflect the effects of the restatement.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION


In management’s opinion, the financial information contained in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Four Oaks Fincorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank”) and Four Oaks Mortgage Services, LLC, a mortgage origination subsidiary.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  In March 2006, the Company formed Four Oaks Statutory Trust I, a wholly owned Delaware statutory business tr ust (the “Trust”), for the sole purpose of issuing Trust Preferred Securities (as defined in Note 6 below).  The Trust is not included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (revised December 2003) – an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46R”).  Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.


The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, as amended. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such annual report.



NOTE 2 - RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On August 1, 2006, the Company announced that it will restate its historical financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the first quarter of 2006 to amend the accounting for certain derivative transactions relating to interest rate swap agreements on the Company’s brokered certificates of deposit under SFAS No. 133.

Since late in 2003, the Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the interest rate risk inherent in certain of its brokered certificates of deposit.  From inception, the Company has applied a method of fair value hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 (the “short-cut” method) that is appropriate if the hedging transactions are perfectly effective.  However, after further examination in light of recent developments and discussions with its independent registered public accounting firm, Dixon Hughes PLLC, the Company and its Audit Committee concluded that the swap transactions did not qualify for the “short-cut” method and documentation regarding these transactions did not meet the technical requirements of SFAS No. 133.  Therefore, any fluctuations in the market value of these interest rate risk management derivatives should have been r ecorded through the income statement.  There is no effect on cash flows from these revisions.  Although these swaps have performed as expected, by providing an economic hedge against interest rate risk, the Company determined that it did not have adequate documentation at the inception of the interest rate swap agreements to qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133.

NOTE 2 - RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

The primary effect of this change in accounting treatment is the inclusion in net income of any increases or decreases in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements previously designated as hedges under SFAS No. 133. This is because fair value hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133 allows a company to record the change in fair value of the hedged item (in this case, brokered certificates of deposit) as an adjustment to income that offsets the fair value adjustment on the related interest rate swap. Eliminating the application of fair value hedge accounting reverses the fair value adjustments that have been made to the brokered certificates of deposit. Additionally, the net cash settlement payments received during each of the above periods for these interest rate swaps were reclassified from interest expense on brokered certificates of deposit to non-interest income. The bro ker fee has been recognized as a deferred financing cost and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the related certificates of deposit.

A summary of the effects of the restatement on the consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 are as follows:

NOTE 3 - NET INCOME PER SHARE


Basic and diluted net income per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period after retroactively adjusting for 5-for-4 stock split paid on November 25, 2005.  Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the net income of the Company.


Basic and diluted net income per common share have been computed based upon net income as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding or assumed to be outstanding as summarized below:

NOTE 4 - STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS


Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123R”) which was issued by FASB in December 2004.  SFAS No. 123R revises SFAS No.123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB No. 25”) and its related interpretations. SFAS No. 123R requires recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements over the period the employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively the vesting period).  SFAS No. 123R also requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. SFAS No. 123R also amends SFAS No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require that excess tax benefits be reported as financing cash inflows, rather than as a reduction of taxes paid, which is included within operating cash flows.


The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified-prospective-transition method application as permitted under SFAS No. 123R.  Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated.  Under this method, the Company is required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.


Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company used the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB No. 25 and thus recognized no compensation expense for options granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.


As of March 31, 2006, the Company maintains a Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for grants of nonqualified stock options to officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and has not been approved by shareholders. The Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors, which has broad discretionary authority to administer the Plan, and issues options at a price approximating market as determined by the committee.  As of March 31, 2006, 976,563 shares had been reserved for issuance under the Plan.  All options granted subsequent to a 1997 amendment will be 100% vested one year from the grant date and will expire after such period as is determined by the board of directors at the time of grant.  Options granted prior to the amendment have ten year lives and a five year level vesting provision.


The Company granted 33,400 and 38,875 nonqualified stock options for the three month period ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005, respectively, with a weighted-average fair value of $4.77 and $3.78 per option, respectively.     


The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the Plan was approximately $24,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2006.  The Company recorded a deferred tax benefit in the amount of $15,000 related to share-based compensation during the three month period ended March 31, 2006.


The fair market value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the assumptions noted in the following table.  The risk-free interest rate is based on a U.S. Treasury instrument with a life that is similar to the expected life of the option grant.  Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the prior three years trading history.  The expected term of the options is based on the average life of previously issued stock options. The expected dividend yield is based on current yield on date of grant. The options are not subject to any post-vesting restrictions.

The following table illustrates the assumptions that the Company used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the fair value of options granted to employees in the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 under the Plan:

At March 31, 2006 the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable options amounted to $1.30 million and $1.26 million, respectively.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $320,000.  The fair value of the options vested during the period was $39,000.  


As of March 31, 2006, there was $120,000 of unrecognized cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under this plan.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 10.5 months.

Cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $306,000.  The tax benefit realized for tax deductions from option exercise of the share-based payment arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $99,000.


The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R to options granted under the Company’s stock option plans for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and amortized to expense over the options’ vesting periods.

NOTE 6 - TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

On March 31, 2006, $12.0 million of trust preferred securities (“Trust Preferred Securities”) were placed through the Trust.  The Trust issuer has invested the total proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred in Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the “Debentures”) issued by the Company, and is recorded in borrowings on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.  The Trust Preferred Securities pay cumulative cash distributions quarterly at an annual rate, reset quarterly, equal to three month LIBOR plus 1.35%.  The dividends paid to holders of the Trust Preferred Securities, which will be recorded as interest expense, are deductible for income tax purposes.  The Trust Preferred Securities are redeemable on June 15, 2011 or afterwards in whole or in part, on any June 15, September 15, December 15 or March 15.  Redemption is m andatory at June 15, 2036.  The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Trust Preferred Securities through the combined operation of the Debentures and other related documents.  The Company’s obligation under the guarantee is unsecured and subordinate to senior and subordinated indebtedness of the Company.  The Trust Preferred Securities qualify as Tier I capital for regulatory capital purposes subject to certain limitations.

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


The following discussion provides information about the major components of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in Item 1 of this report.

Comparison of Financial Condition at

March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005


During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company’s total assets grew from $522.9 million at December 31, 2005 to $537.7 million, an increase of $14.8 million or 2.83%. Our liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available for sale, experienced a net increase of $1.4 million, primarily from a $3.7 million increase in investment securities and a $1.2 million increase in cash and due from banks, partially offset by a decrease of $3.4 million in interest-earning deposits. Additional funds available from deposit growth provided an opportunity to increase investments as yields improved during the three months ended March 31, 2006.  Net loans grew from $392.1 million at December 31, 2005 to $404.6 million at March 31, 2006 due to an $18.4 million growth in loans secured by real estate. Our loan portfolio continues to reflect a trend towards growth in commercial rea l estate lending. Deposits from the Company’s local market continued to be its primary funding source, increasing by $16.8 million, while wholesale deposits increased $6.3 million. Total deposits grew from $398.3 million at December 31, 2005 to $421.6 million at March 31, 2006, an increase of $23.3 million  This increase occurred due to a $13.5 million increase in the Company’s time deposit accounts, a $7.0 million increase in its non-interest bearing deposits and a $5.5 million increase in its interest checking deposits. This growth was partially offset with by a decrease in savings deposits of $2.7 million.  Deposit growth was supported by increased deposit rates as the national prime rate increased from 7.25% at December 31, 2005 to 7.75% at March 31, 2006.    


During March 2006, the Company formed Four Oaks Statutory Trust I, a Delaware trust for the sole purpose of issuing $12.0 million in Trust Preferred Securities, with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per capital security, in pooled offerings of Trust Preferred Securities.  The Trust sold its common securities to the Company for an aggregate principal amount of $372,000, resulting in total proceeds from the offering of approximately $12.4 million.  The Trust used the proceeds to purchase $12.4 million in principal amount of the Debentures.  The Debentures have a 30-year maturity and are redeemable after five years by the Company with certain exceptions. The Debentures will require quarterly interest payments (subject to certain deferment options) and bear interest at a variable rate equal to the three month LIBOR plus 1.35%, with LIBOR adjusted quarterly.  The net proceeds increased the regulatory cap ital of the Bank and are being used to provide funding for continued growth of the Bank and are included in borrowings on the consolidated balance sheet.

Total shareholders’ equity increased approximately $1.8 million from $41.6 million at December 31, 2005 to $43.5 million at March 31, 2006.  This increase in shareholders’ equity during the period resulted principally from income from operations of $1.8 million, net proceeds from the issuance of common stock from stock option exercises of $386,000, dividend reinvestment in the amount of $194,000, and stock compensation expense of $24,000 resulting from the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) at the beginning of 2006.  Offsetting these increases were other comprehensive losses of $199,000, dividends paid to its shareholders of $352,000 and the repurchase of common stock of $55,000.  At March 31, 2006, both the Company and the Bank were considered to be well capitalized as such term is defined in applicable federal regulations.


Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended

March 31, 2006 and 2005


Net Income.  Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.8 million, or $.42 basic net income per share, as compared with net income of $942,000, or $.22 basic net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005, an increase of $898,000, or $.20 per share.  This increase resulted primarily from a $1.3 million increase in the Company’s net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006, as the effect of loan growth outpaced the effect of increased rates paid on interest bearing deposits.  


Net Interest Income.  Like most financial institutions, the primary component of earnings for the Bank is net interest income.  Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loan and investment securities portfolios, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits and borrowings.  Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread and margin.  For this purpose, volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities and margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.  Margin is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as by levels of non-i nterest-bearing liabilities and capital.  The Debentures issued in connection with the offering of Trust Preferred Securities will bear interest based on the three month LIBOR plus 1.35%, with LIBOR adjusted quarterly, and, accordingly, the Company expects interest expense will increase in 2006 as a result of the interest payments on the Debentures.


Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $5.6 million, an increase of $1.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005, which resulted primarily from the increase in the level of the Company’s average interest-earning assets of $111.1 million relative to the increase in the level of its average interest-bearing liabilities of $92.8 million during the quarter. Also, contributing to the increase in net interest income was the average growth in interest free demand deposits of $12.3 million. The growth in demand deposits provided a partial offset to the $26.5 million increase in higher costing time deposits.  


Provision for Loan Losses.  The provision for loan losses was $186,000 and $187,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, a decrease of $1,000. Net charge-offs of $34,000 were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $57,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  Non-performing loans aggregated $974,000 at March 31, 2006, decreasing $344,000 from the $1.3 million at December 31, 2005, while the allowance for loan losses, expressed as a percentage of gross loans, was 1.25% at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Management believes that the allowance is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.




- 17 -




Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $450,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 to $923,000 as compared to $473,000 for the same period in 2005. The increase of $450,000 in comparison with the prior year period was primarily due to increases in bank-owned life insurance income of $91,000, gain on sale of loans of $72,000, service charges on deposit accounts of $59,000 and an increase in service charges, commissions and fees of $95,000, of which $42,000 was attributable to increased commissions from the Company’s financial services department, $21,000 was attributable to increased profits from our investment in Four Oaks Mortgage Company, L.P., and $14,000 was attributable to increased gains from the sale of repossessed loan collateral. There was a decreased loss reported of $91,000 due to the restatement of accounting methods related to interest rate swap hedging activit y compared to the same period in 2005.  There were no other significant changes in any of the categories of income that comprise the Company’s total non-interest income.  


Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense increased $314,000 to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  This increase was due in part to increases in salaries and employee benefits of $132,000, which resulted from normal salary adjustments, rising benefits costs, and additional staffing. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, occupancy and equipment expenses increased $13,000 and $20,000, respectively, professional and consulting fees increased $124,000, and other operating expenses increased $22,000.  The increases in professional & consulting fees are directly related to increased compliance costs resulting from regulatory requirements arising from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The primary increases in other non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 included materia ls, training and seminars of approximately $13,000 and membership fees of approximately $7,000.  There were no other significant increases in any of the remaining non-interest expenses.  


Provision for Income Taxes.  The Company’s provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes, was 36.0% and 33.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company’s liquidity position is primarily dependent upon the Bank’s need to respond to loan demand, the short-term demand for funds caused by withdrawals from deposit accounts (other than time deposits) and the liquidity of its assets.  The Bank’s primary liquidity sources include cash and amounts due from other banks, federal funds sold, and U.S. Government Agency and other short-term investment securities.  In addition, during March 2006, the net proceeds from the offering of the Trust Preferred Securities increased the regulatory capital of the Bank and are being used to provide funding for continued growth of the Bank.  In addition, the Bank has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and to purchase federal funds from other financial institutions.  Management believes that the Company’s liquidity sources are a dequate to meet its operating needs and the operating needs of the Bank for the next eighteen months.  Total shareholders’ equity was $43.5 million, or 8.1 %, of total assets at March 31, 2006 and $41.6 million, or 8.0%, of total assets at December 31, 2005.  


Forward-looking Information


Information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which statements represent the Company’s judgment concerning the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual operating results and financial position to differ materially.  Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereof, or comparable ter minology.




- 18 -



The Company cautions that any such forward-looking statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the effects of future economic conditions, governmental fiscal and monetary policies, legislative and regulatory changes, the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, the effects of competition from other financial institutions, the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of the allowance for loan losses, the low trading volume of the Company’s common stock, other considerations described in connection with specific forward-looking statements and other cautionary elements specified in Part II, Item 1A of this report and the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exch ange Commission (the “Commission”), including without limitation, its Annual Report on Form10-K, as amended, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as amended, and Current Reports on Form 8-K.


ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK


The Company believes there has not been any material change in the overall analysis of financial instruments considered market risk sensitive, as measured by the factors of contractual maturities, average interest rates and the difference between estimated fair values and book values, since the analysis prepared and presented in conjunction with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as amended


ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


As required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in that they provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods required by the Sec urities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  


There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that we believe have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
