Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Select Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank”) was incorporated and began banking operations on August 3, 2004. Effective June 19, 2008, the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of Select Bancorp, Inc. (“Select” or the “Company”), a financial holding company whose principal business activity consists of the ownership of the Bank. The Bank is engaged in general commercial and retail banking in the following North Carolina locations: Greenville/Pitt County, Elizabeth City/Pasquotank County, Washington/Beaufort County, Gibsonville/Guilford County, and Burlington/Alamance County. The Bank operates under the banking laws of North Carolina and the rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks. The Bank undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

The Bank has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Select Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), whose principal activity is to own and serve as lessor on certain buildings, improvements and land of the Bank. Holdings began operations on January 5, 2009.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Select Bank & Trust Company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could impact the accounting, reporting, and/or disclosure of financial information by the Company.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This guidance is the culmination of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of the amounts reclassified out of the AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross-referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. The standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company has adopted the standard and the adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, but did result in additional disclosures in Note H.

ASU 2014-04, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): "Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure." This pronouncement clarifies the criteria for concluding that an in substance repossession or foreclosure has occurred, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. The amendments also outline interim and annual disclosure requirements. The amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Companies are allowed to use either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method when adopting this update. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

From time to time the FASB issues exposure drafts for proposed statements of financial accounting standards. Such exposure drafts are subject to comment from the public, to revisions by the FASB and to final issuance by the FASB as statements of financial accounting standards. Management considers the effect of the proposed statements on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and monitors the status of changes to and proposed effective dates of exposure drafts.

The following table shows gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, for the investment securities with unrealized losses at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The June 30, 2014 unrealized losses pertain to one structured agency security, five municipal securities and one mortgage backed security, all having losses greater than one year. These unrealized losses are primarily the result of volatility in the market and are related to market interest rates. Since none of the unrealized losses relate to marketability of the securities or the issuer’s ability to honor redemption obligations, none of the securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

Note 3. Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits with banks, investment securities, loans, deposit accounts and borrowings. Fair value estimates are made at a specific moment in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Bank’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no active market readily exists for a portion of the Bank’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Due from Banks and Federal Funds Sold

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for these instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Certificates of Deposit with Banks

The fair value of certificates of deposit with other banks is estimated based on discounting cash flows using the rates currently offered for instruments of similar remaining maturities.

Investment Securities

Fair value for investment securities equals quoted market price if such information is available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Note 3. Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, continued

Accrued Interest

The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value.

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The calculations do not adjust for liquidity factors given the asset quality of the portfolio.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Bank-owned life insurance

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

Deposits and Borrowings

The fair value of demand deposits and savings, money market and NOW accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits and borrowings is estimated based on discounting cash flows using the rates currently offered for instruments of similar remaining maturities.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

With regard to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of future financing commitments.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, are as follows at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Note 4. Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and (iv) willing to transact.

The valuation technique used must be consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Note 4. Fair Value Measurement, continued

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1:  Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2:  Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3:  Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.

Recurring Basis Measurements

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Fair values of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are as follows:

Note 4. Fair Value Measurement, continued

Recurring Basis Measurements, continued

The valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted and money prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds, structured agency securities and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Non-Recurring Basis Measurements

Fair values of assets measured on a nonrecurring basis are as follows:

			Fair Value Measurements at
Description	Fair Value		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)
June 30, 2014
Foreclosed real estate	$	221,000	$	-	$	221,000	$	-
December 31, 2013
Foreclosed real estate	$	221,000	$	-	$	221,000	$	-

There are no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are as follows.

Impaired Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market price and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all of the impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

At June 30, 2014, total impaired loans were $1,439,319, in which there were no partial charge offs or specific reserves to adjust to fair value. At December 31, 2013, total impaired loans were $1,312,043, in which there were no partial charge offs or specific reserves to adjust to fair value.

Non-Recurring Basis Measurements, continued

Foreclosed real estate

Foreclosed real estate balances are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is recorded initially at estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure. The initial recorded value may be subsequently reduced by additional allowances, which are charged to earnings if the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs declines below the initial recorded value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Bank records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Bank records the foreclosed real estate asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows:

					Significant		Significant
Level 3 Assets with Significant					Unobservable		Unobservable
Unobservable Inputs		Fair Value	Valuation Technique		Inputs		Input Value
June 30, 2014
Impaired Loans	$	1,439,319	Discounted appraisals	(1)	Appraisal adjustments	(2)	5% to 15%
Foreclosed real estate	$	221,000	Discounted appraisals	(1)	Appraisal adjustments	(2)	0% to 32%

(1) Fair value is generally based on appraisals of the underlying collateral but is also based on discounted cash flows for some loans.

(2) Appraisals may be adjusted by management for customized discounting criteria, estimated sales costs, and proprietary qualitative adjustments.

Impaired loans and foreclosed real estate classified as Level 3 are based on management’s judgment and estimation.

Note 5. Employee and Director Benefit Plans

Stock Option Plans

During 2005 the Company adopted, with stockholder approval, a Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) and an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Employee Plan”). Each plan makes available options to purchase 222,095 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate number of common shares reserved for options of 444,190, after adjusting for all stock splits. The options granted under the Director Plan vest immediately. The options granted under the Employee Plan vest over a three-year period with none vesting at the time of the grant. All unexercised options expire ten years after the date of grant. During 2008, the Company, with shareholder approval, amended and restated the 2005 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan and the Incentive Stock Option Plan.

Also during 2008, the Company, with shareholder approval, adopted the 2008 Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). An aggregate of 224,149 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance under the terms of the Omnibus Plan pursuant to the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock grants, long term incentive compensation units and stock appreciation rights. As of December 31, 2013, there were 101,499 shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. If the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan falls below 2% of the total number of shares issued and outstanding as of the last day of each year, the number of shares available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan will be increased to 5% of the number of shares issued and outstanding.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes 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. Due to the lack of trading history for the Company, volatility is based on the average volatility of the Company’s peer sector index. 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.

A split-adjusted summary of the Company’s option plans as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013 is as follows:

New Century Bancorp, Inc. and Select Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited proforma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting. Balance sheet data is presented as of June 30, 2014 and assumes the merger involving New Century Bancorp, Inc. ("New Century") and Select Bancorp, Inc. ("Select") was complete on that date. Income statement data is presented to give effect to the merger as if it had occured on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position has the merger been consummated at the beginning of the period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined entities. Certain historical financial information has been reclassified to conform to current presentation. New Century consumated the acquisition of Select on July 25, 2014.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes preliminary estimated adjustments to record assets and liabilities of Select at their respective fair values and represents management's estimates based on available information.  The pro forma adjustments included herein are subject to updates as additional information become available and as additional analyses are performed.  The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the merger is completed and after completion of thorough analyses to determine the fair value of Select's tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the merger date is completed. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets, commitments, executory contracts and other items of Select as compared with the information shown in the unaudited  pro forma combined financial information may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the statement of income due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities.  Any changes to Select's shareholders' equity including results of operations from January 1, 2014 through the date the merger is completed will also change the amount of goodwill that would be recorded.

Note 2 - Accounting Policies and Financial Statement Classifications

The accounting policies of both NCBC and Select Bancorp have been reviewed and management has determined that there are no material additional conforming adjustments or financial statement reclassifications needed.  There are currently no material transactions between NCBC and Select Bancorp in relation to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note 3 - Merger Related Charges

The estimated transaction costs related to the merger are approximately $1.2 million, net of tax. This cost is included in the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet. These estimated transactions costs are still being developed and will continue to be refined over the next several months, and will include assessing personnel, benefit plans, premises, equipment, and service contracts to determine where New Century and Select may take advantage of redundancies. These costs will be recorded as non-interest expense as incurred. The pro forma presentation of the transaction costs is in the following table (dollars in thousands).

Salaries and employee benefits	$	1,169
Other non-interest expense		843
Total non-interest expense	$	2,012
Tax benefit		776
Net merger related expense after tax benefit	$	1,236

Note 4 - Preliminary Purchase Accounting Allocation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects the issuance of 4,416,668 shares of NCBC common stock totaling approximately $28.2 million. The merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting; accordingly New Century's cost to acquire Select will be allocated to the assets (including identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities of Select at their respective fair values as of the merger date. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price was preliminarily allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as summarized in the following table (dollars in thousands).

Common equity capital of Select as of June 30, 2014				$	26,891
Less estimated fair value adjustments:
Loan fair value	$	(5,816	)
Allowance for loan losses		3,425
Loans, net		(2,391	)
Premises and equipment		(336	)
Core deposit intangible		1,790
Elimination of Select Bancorp's goodwill		(1,488	)
Time deposits		(2,175	)
Borrowings		(908	)
Related tax benefit for above		2,123
Total fair value adjustments					(3,385	)
Net assets (Equity capital less fair value adjustments)					23,506
Total consideration paid to Select shareholders (1)					28,238
Goodwill				$	4,732

(1) The purchase price is based on estimated total consideration of $28.2 million. This includes issuance of New Century common stock of 4,416,668 shares at a price of approximately $6.39 per common share for a value of $28.2 million.

Note 5 - Pro Forma Adjustments

The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.  All adjustments are based on current assumptions and valuations which are subject to change.

A	Cash was adjusted to reflect the payment of estimated merger related expenses of $2.0 million which is assumed to happen at closing prior to any income statement effect and is therefore offset by a reduction in retained earnings.
B	New Century identified $5.8 million in net preliminary estimated fair value adjustments to Select's loan portfolio.  The adjustment reflects New Century's estimates of both market rate differential at June 30, 2014 and the potential adjustments related to the credit quality of the loan portfolio.  As a result $3.9 million of the fair value adjustment  relates to credit quality, accordingly, no interest yield  is estimated and would only be recorded prospectively if there was a significant increase in the estimated cash flows on those loans.  The remaining fair value adjustment reflects estimated fair value based upon current interest rates and spreads in the current interest rate environment, and will be accreted using the level yield methodology over the estimated remaining life of the acquired loan portfolio.  The accretion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 is estimated at approximately $568,000.
C	Select's existing allowance for loan losses of $3.4 million was eliminated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
D	Premises and equipment were adjusted by $336,000 to reflect estimated fair value adjustments for real property.  The amortization of these adjustments is not considered material for the year ended June 30, 2014
E	The estimated amount of goodwill associated with the transaction is $4.7 million.  The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the merger is completed and all purchase accounting adjustments are finalized, and may change the amount allocated to goodwill.  At June 30, 2014, Select had $1.5 million in goodwill that will be eliminated at the time of merger.
F	Other intangible assets were adjusted to reflect a core deposit intangible of $1.8 million.  A core deposit intangible arises from a financial institution having a deposit base comprised of funds associated with stable customer relationships.  These customer relationships provide a cost benefit to the acquiring institution since the associated customer deposits typically are at lower interest rates and can be expected to be retained on a long-term basis.  This amount reflects management's estimate of the market premium associated with these core deposits.  The amortization is estimated at approximately $285,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
G	Time deposits were adjusted by an estimated $2.2 million credit for fair value adjustments on deposits at current market rates for similar products.  This adjustment will be accreted into income over the estimated lives of the deposits.  Estimated accretion in the pro forma was computed using the sum-of-the-years digits method, which approximates the level yield method.  The accretion is estimated at approximately $331,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
H	Borrowings were adjusted by an estimated $908 thousand credit for fair value adjustments on borrowings at current market rates for similar products. This adjustment will be accreted into income over the estimated lives of the borrowings. Estimated accretion in the pro forma was computed using the straight line method, which approximates the level yield method. The accretion is estimated at approximately $226,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
I	Other assets were adjusted by $2.1 million to reflect the estimated deferred tax asset arising from the credit quality fair value adjustments and other fair value adjustments  on other assets and liabilities, less deferred tax liabilities arising from the core deposit intangible and other fair value adjustments on other assets and liabilities.
J	Other assets were adjusted by $776,000 to reflect the estimated deferred tax asset arising from the merger and transactional expenses.
K	Retained earnings were adjusted by $1.2 million to reflect the equity effect of merger and transactional costs.
L	Historical shareholders' equity has been eliminated and additional paid-in-capital has been adjusted to reflect New Century's estimated capitalization of Select.
M	The amount of pro forma combined weighted average shares outstanding is calculated by adding New Century's historical weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended June 30, 2014 to the shares issued to be issued in connection with the merger.
