Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011

(dollars and shares in thousands, expect per share data)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Nature of Operations

Capital Bank Financial Corp (“CBF” or the “Company”; formerly known as North American Financial Holdings, Inc.) is a bank holding company incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Florida whose business is conducted primarily through Capital Bank, National Association (“Capital Bank, NA”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of September 30, 2012 CBF had a total of 143 full service banking offices located in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

In September 2012, TIB Financial Corp.(“TIBB”), Green Bankshares Inc. (“GRNB”) and Capital Bank Corporation (“CBKN”), majority owned subsidiaries of the Company, merged with and into Capital Bank Financial Corp. with CBF continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Reorganization”). Upon the closing of the Reorganization, all outstanding common shares held by the minority shareholders were converted into approximately 3,706 shares of CBF’s Class A common stock.

The Reorganization was accounted for as a merger of entities under common control. The Reorganization was accounted for as an equity transaction in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, as the acquisition of a noncontrolling interest and no adjustment to CBF’s historical cost carrying amounts of assets and liabilities was reflected in the accompanying balance sheet.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals and disclosures considered necessary for a fair interim presentation have been included. For further information and an additional description of the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 21, 2012 as part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-175108) (the “Prospectus”).

The accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. GAAP and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a summary of the more significant of these policies.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company maintains an Allowance for Loan Losses (the “Allowance”) at an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

The Allowance is increased by charges to the Provision for Loan Losses, which are charged against current period operating results and the Allowance is decreased by the amount of charge offs, net of recoveries (which are added back to the Allowance). Impaired loans are charged off against the Allowance in whole or in part when they are considered to be uncollectible.

Management made the following principal enhancements to the methodology during the third quarter of 2012:

• Narrowed historical credit loss experience data to a peer group of similar financial institutions; previously credit loss experience data for all FDIC banks was utilized. This refinement was made to reflect the trends that are occurring in similar financial institutions.

• Increased historical credit loss look-back period. The Company began extending its look-back period to reflect a trailing five year business cycle by prospectively adding an additional quarter of data until a five year period is included.

9

• Inclusion of additional qualitative factors. The Company has incorporated the following factors into its qualitative analysis: i) changes in the nature and product mix of the portfolio; ii) credit loan review coverage and associated findings; and iii) macroeconomic collateral value trends.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans – When loans acquired are considered to be impaired, the initial recording of these loans is at fair value. The Allowance previously associated with these loans does not carry over to the Company and is eliminated in the purchase accounting adjustments. The amount of the allowance for loans losses is determined by updated estimates of cash flows. Such estimates are updated quarterly. See Note 4 – Loans, for additional information on subsequent accounting our purchased credit impaired loans.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense (or benefit) is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability or balance sheet method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

A valuation allowance related to the deferred tax asset is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or part of the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, management considered the need for a valuation allowance and based upon its assessment of the relative weight of the positive and negative evidence available at the time of the analysis, concluded that a valuation allowance was not necessary.

Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is net income attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options and unvested restricted shares computed using the treasury stock method.

Earnings per share have been computed based on the following periods:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012		Three Months Ended September 30, 2011		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding:
Basic		46,116		45,120		45,496		45,120
Dilutive effect of options outstanding		—		—		—		—
Dilutive effect of restricted shares		622		337		456		213
Diluted		46,738		45,457		45,952		45,333

The dilutive effect of stock options and unvested restricted shares are the only common stock equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per common share.

Weighted average anti-dilutive stock options and unvested restricted shares excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012		Three Months Ended September 30, 2011		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Anti-dilutive stock options		2,867		2,236		2,837		1,622
Anti-dilutive restricted shares		—		—		—		—

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 amends current guidance by (i) eliminating the option to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of the statement of changes in

10

shareholders’ equity, (ii) requiring the presentation of each component of net income and each component of OCI either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements, and (iii) requiring the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of the statement. The amendments of ASU 2011-05 do not change the option to present components of OCI either before or after related income tax effects, the items that must be reported in OCI, when an item of OCI should be reclassified to net income, or the computation of earnings per share (which continues to be based on net income).

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 defers the requirement that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. Reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income are to be presented either on the face of the financial statement in which other comprehensive income is presented or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Reclassification adjustments into net income need not be presented during the deferral period. This action does not affect the requirement to present items of net income, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income in a single continuous or two consecutive statements. ASU 2011-12 and ASU 2011-05 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011 for public companies, with early adoption permitted and retrospective application required. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations but did alter disclosures.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). This project began as an attempt to converge the offsetting requirements under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). However, as the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (collectively, the “Boards”) were not able to reach a converged solution with regards to offsetting requirements, the Boards developed convergent disclosure requirements to assist in reconciling differences in the offsetting requirements under U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. ASU 2011-11 also requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. ASU 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As the provisions of ASU 2011-11 only impact the disclosure requirements related to the offsetting of assets and liabilities, we expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-11 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

2. Business Combinations and Acquisitions

CBF Agreement with Southern Community Financial Corporation

On October 1, 2012, the acquisition of Southern Community Financial Corporation (“SCMF” or “Southern Community”) common stock was consummated for a total purchase price of $52,393 in cash. In addition, SCMF shareholders received a contingent value right (“CVR”) which could pay up to $1.30 per share in cash at the end of a five-year period based on 75% of the savings to the extent that legacy loan and foreclosed asset losses are less than a prescribed amount. The Company purchased from the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) all of the outstanding shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A originally issued by SCMF to the Treasury in connection with SCMF’s participation in the Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”), along with the related warrants, at a purchase price of approximately $46,932 in cash, equal to the outstanding liquidation amount of the preferred stock. Subsequently, SCMF cancelled their Series A Preferred stock. SCMF was the parent of Southern Community Bank and Trust, a bank with $1.4 billion in assets and 22 branches in Winston-Salem, the Piedmont Triad, and other North Carolina markets. Purchase accounting has not been concluded for the acquisition of SCMF.

CBF Investment in Green Bankshares Inc.

On September 7, 2011, Green Bankshares completed the issuance and sale of 119,900 shares of its common stock to the Company for gross consideration of $217,019 less $750 of the Company’s expenses which were reimbursed by Green Bankshares (the “GRNB Investment”). The total consideration was comprised of $147,600 of cash and the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and warrant to purchase shares of common stock issued by Green Bankshares to the Treasury in connection with the TARP, which were repurchased by the Company and contributed to GRNB at fair value of $68,700 as a component of the Company’s investment consideration. Subsequently, GRNB cancelled the Series A Preferred Stock. In connection with the Company’s Investment, each Green Bankshares shareholder as of September 6, 2011 received one CVR per share that entitles the holder to receive up to $0.75 in cash per CVR at the end of a five-year period based on the credit performance of GreenBank’s then existing loan portfolio as of May 5, 2011. There were no purchase accounting adjustments made in the three months ended September 30, 2012.

The Company owns a collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) collateralized by trust preferred securities issued primarily by banks and several insurance companies. Valuation and measurement of other-than- temporary impairment (“OTTI”) of this investment falls under ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. The Company compares the present value of expected cash flows to the previous estimate to ensure there are no adverse changes in the expected cash flows. The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow valuation model which considers the structure and term of the CDO and the financial condition of the underlying issuers. Specifically, the model details interest rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying issuers, the timing and amount of interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the allocation of the payments to the note classes. The current estimate of expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee reports and any other relevant market information including announcements of interest payment deferrals or defaults by issuers of the underlying trust preferred securities. Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates. Interest payment deferrals are generally treated as defaults even though they may not actually result in defaults. Management engaged an independent third party valuation firm to assist management’s estimation of the fair value and credit loss potential of this security.

Based on this analysis, as of September 30, 2012, the estimated fair value of the CDO improved by $41 during the quarter. In addition, the credit loss potential of the CDO improved. Since previous credit impairment was recognized, no recovery is allowed under U.S. GAAP. The CDO was recorded at fair value and the remaining unrealized loss was recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

The table below presents a rollforward of the OTTI credit losses recognized in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

(Dollars in thousands)	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012		Three Months Ended September 30, 2011		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

The estimated fair value of investment securities available for sale at September 30, 2012 by contractual maturity, are shown as follows. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or repay obligations without call or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date, primarily mortgage-backed securities, are shown separately.

	Estimated Fair Value		Yield

As of September 30, 2012, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 113 securities, 4 of which were in an unrealized loss position. As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s security portfolio consisted of 159 securities, 18 of which were in an unrealized loss position. The majority of unrealized losses are related to the Company’s mortgage-backed securities.

The majority of the mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Unrealized losses associated with these securities are attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these mortgage-backed securities and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011. Investment securities having carrying values of approximately $258,635 at September 30, 2012 were pledged to secure public funds on deposit, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and for other purposes as required by law.

4. Loans

Major classifications of loans are as follows:

	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Non-owner occupied commercial real estate	$	818,171	$	903,914
Other commercial construction and land		332,519		423,932

Home equity loans		351,731		383,768
Other consumer loans		130,935		123,121
Total consumer		1,219,845		1,325,436
Other (1)		96,990		95,133
Total loans	$	4,072,212	$	4,302,463

(1) Other loans include deposit customer overdrafts of $1,853 and $2,795 as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

15

Total loans as of September 30, 2012 includes $12,928 of 1-4 family residential loans held for sale and $687 of deferred loan fees. Total loans as of December 31, 2011 includes $20,746 of 1-4 family residential loans held for sale and $508 of deferred loan fees.

The Company had a non-impaired loan of $2,716 collateralized by a bank branch that we operated under an operating lease. In September 2012, the Company purchased the branch for $2,900. Consideration included $184 of cash and the application of the remaining outstanding loan balance of 2,716.

Covered loans represent loans acquired from the FDIC subject to the loss sharing agreements. Covered loans are further broken out into (i) loans acquired with evidence of credit impairment (“Purchased Credit Impaired or PCI Loans” as described in Note 1) and (ii) non-PCI loans. Loans originated by the Company and loans acquired through the purchase of TIBB, CBKN and GRNB are excluded from the loss sharing agreements and are classified as “not covered.” Additionally, certain consumer loans acquired through the acquisition of failed banks from the FDIC are specifically excluded from the loss sharing agreements.

Loans acquired are recorded at fair value in accordance with acquisition accounting, exclusive of the loss share agreements with the FDIC. The fair value estimates associated with the loans include estimates related to expected prepayments and the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows. At the time of acquisition, the Company accounted for the impaired purchased loans by segregating each portfolio into loan pools with similar risk characteristics, which included:

• The loan type based on regulatory reporting guidelines, namely whether the loan was a mortgage, consumer, or commercial loan;

• The nature of collateral; and

• The relative credit risk of the loan.

From these pools, the Company used certain loan information, including outstanding principal balance, estimated expected losses, weighted average maturity, weighted average term to re-price (if a variable rate loan), weighted average margin, and weighted average interest rate to estimate the expected cash flow for each loan pool. Over the life of the acquired loans, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected on each loan pool. The Company evaluates, at each balance sheet date, whether its estimates of the present value of the cash flows from the loan pools, determined using the effective interest rates, has decreased, such that the present value of such cash flows is less than the recorded investment of the pool, and if so, recognizes a provision for loan loss in its consolidated statement of income. Additionally, if we have favorable changes in our estimates of cash flows expected to be collected for a loan pool such that the then-present value exceeds the recorded investment of that pool, we will first reverse any previously established allowance for loan losses for the pool. If such estimate exceeds the amount of any previously established allowance, we will accrete future interest income over the remaining life of the pool at a rate which, when used to discount the expected cash flows, results in the then-present value of such cash flows equaling the recorded investment of the pool at the time of the revised estimate.

The roll forward of accretable yield, or income expected to be collected, related to purchased credit-impaired loans is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012			Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

The contractually required payments represent the total undiscounted amount of all uncollected contractual principal and contractual interest payments both past due and scheduled for the future, adjusted for the timing of estimated prepayments and any full or partial charge-offs prior to acquisition by CBF. Nonaccretable difference represents contractually required payments in excess of the amount of estimated cash flows expected to be collected. The accretable yield represents the excess of estimated cash flows expected to be collected over the initial fair value of the PCI loans, which is their fair value at the time of acquisition by CBF.

16

The accretable yield is accreted into interest income over the estimated life of the PCI loans using the level yield method. The accretable yield will change due to changes in:

• The estimate of the remaining life of PCI loans which may change the amount of future interest income, and possibly principal, expected to be collected;

• The estimate of the amount of contractually required principal and interest payments over the estimated life that will not be collected (the nonaccretable difference); and

• Indices for PCI loans with variable rates of interest.

For PCI loans, the impact of loan modifications is included in the evaluation of expected cash flows for subsequent decreases or increases of cash flows. For variable rate PCI loans, expected future cash flows will be recalculated as the rates adjust over the lives of the loans. At acquisition, the expected future cash flows were based on the variable rates that were in effect at that time.

Because of the loss protection provided by the FDIC, the risks of CBF covered loans and foreclosed real estate are significantly different from those assets not covered under the loss share agreement. Refer to Note 6 – Other Real Estate Owned, for the covered and non-covered balances of other real estate owned.

Purchased credit-impaired loans are not classified as nonaccrual as they are considered to be accruing because their interest income relates to the accretable yield recognized under accounting for purchased credit-impaired loans and not to contractual interest payments.

As of September 30, 2012 the Company held two relationships with approximately $3.1 million outstanding that meets the criteria for a Troubled Debt Restructuring. These relationships were tested for impairment and deemed to not be impaired.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a monthly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

• Pass—These loans range from superior quality with minimal credit risk to loans requiring heightened management attention but that are still an acceptable risk and continue to perform as contracted.

• Special Mention—Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

• Substandard—Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

• Doubtful—Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

The following table summarizes loans, excluding purchased credit-impaired loans, monitored for credit quality based on internal ratings at September 30, 2012:

7. Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

The Bank has securities sold under agreements to repurchase with customers whereby the Bank sweeps the customer’s accounts on a daily basis and pays interest on these amounts. These agreements are collateralized by investment securities of the United States Government or its agencies which are chosen by the Bank. The amount outstanding at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $41,694 and $54,533, respectively.

25

The Bank invests in Federal Home Loan Bank stock for the purpose of establishing credit lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The credit availability to the Bank is based on a percentage of the Bank’s total assets as reported on the most recent quarterly financial information submitted to the regulators subject to the pledging of sufficient collateral.

At September 30, 2012, the Bank had $25,150 in letters of credit used in lieu of pledging securities to the State of Florida. The Bank had no FHLB advances outstanding as of September 30, 2012. The early pay off of FHLB advances resulted in $3,267 of loss on extinguishment of debt.

The Bank’s collateral with the FHLB consists of a blanket floating lien pledge of the Bank’s respective residential 1-4 family mortgage, multifamily, HELOC and commercial real estate secured loans. The amount of eligible collateral at September 30, 2012 provided for incremental borrowing availability of up to $291,661.

At December 31, 2011, in addition to $25,150 in letters of credit used in lieu of pledging securities to the State of Florida, the Bank had $206,500 in advances outstanding with a carrying value of $221,018. The advances as of December 31, 2011 consisted of the following:

$	221,018	$	206,500

(a) These advances have quarterly conversion dates. If the FHLB chooses to convert the advance, the Bank has the option of prepaying the entire balance without penalty. Otherwise, the advance will convert to an adjustable rate, repricing on a quarterly basis. If the FHLB does not convert the advance, it will remain at the contracted fixed rate until the maturity date.

(b) This advance allows the FHLB a one-time conversion option in November 2012.

The Bank’s collateral with the FHLB consists of a blanket floating lien pledge of the Bank’s respective residential 1-4 family mortgage, multifamily, HELOC and commercial real estate secured loans. The amount of eligible collateral at December 31, 2011 provided for incremental borrowing availability of up to $106,606.

9. Shareholders’ Equity and Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements results in certain discretionary and required actions by regulators that could have an effect on the Company’s operations. The regulations require the Company and the Bank to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

To be considered well capitalized or adequately capitalized as defined under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and Total Risk-based ratios. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the Bank maintained capital ratios exceeding the requirement to be considered well capitalized. These minimum ratios along with the actual ratios for the Company and the Bank as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are presented in the following table.

	Well Capitalized Requirement			Adequately Capitalized Requirement			September 30, 2012 Actual			December 31, 2011 Actual
Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets)
Consolidated		N/A		³	4.0	%		15.9	%		12.6	%
Capital Bank, NA	³	5.0	%	³	4.0	%		12.0	%		10.4	%
Tier 1 Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets)
Consolidated		N/A		³	4.0	%		23.1	%		19.3	%
Capital Bank, NA	³	6.0	%	³	4.0	%		17.5	%		15.8	%
Total Capital (to Risk Weighted Assets)
Consolidated		N/A		³	8.0	%		24.5	%		20.2	%
Capital Bank, NA	³	10.0	%	³	8.0	%		18.8	%		16.7	%

27

In August 2010, Capital Bank, NA entered into an Operating Agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC Operating Agreement”). At present, the OCC Operating Agreement requires Capital Bank, NA to maintain total capital equal to at least 12% of risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital equal to at least 11% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum leverage ratio of 10% (Tier 1 Capital ratio).

Management believes, as of September 30, 2012, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital requirements to which they are subject. Tier 1 Capital for the Company includes trust preferred securities to the extent allowable.

Currently, the OCC Operating Agreement with Capital Bank, NA prohibits the Bank from paying a dividend for three years following the July 16, 2010 initial acquisition date. Once the three-year period has elapsed, the agreement imposes other restrictions on Capital Bank, NA’s ability to pay dividends including requiring prior approval from the OCC before any distribution is made.

Dividends that may be paid by a national bank without express approval of the OCC are limited to that bank’s retained net profits for the preceding two years plus retained net profits up to the date of any dividend declaration in the current calendar year. Based on the retained net profits of the Bank, declaration of dividends by the Bank to the Company during 2012, if not subject to other restrictions, would have been limited to approximately $106,881.

10. Stock-Based Compensation

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had one compensation plan under which shares of its common stock are issuable in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock awards and stock bonus awards. This is its 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan was effective December 22, 2009 and expires on December 22, 2019, the tenth anniversary of the effective date. The maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company that may be optioned or awarded through the 2019 expiration of the plan is 5,750 shares (limited to 10% of outstanding shares of common stock) of which up to 70% may be granted pursuant to stock options and up to 30% may be granted pursuant to restricted stock and restricted stock units. If any awards granted under the 2010 Plan are forfeited or any option terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, or any award is settled for cash, the shares of stock shall again be available for awards under the 2010 Plan.

The following table summarizes the components and classification of stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012		Three Months Ended September 30, 2011		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Stock options	$	1,867	$	1,523	$	8,017	$	3,553
Restricted stock		2,375		1,265		6,910		2,809
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	4,242	$	2,788	$	14,927	$	6,362
Salaries and employee benefits	$	3,908	$	2,357	$	13,932	$	5,418
Other expense		334		431		995		944
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	4,242	$	2,788	$	14,927	$	6,362

The tax benefit related to stock-based compensation expense arising from restricted stock awards and non-qualified stock options was approximately $1,651 and $1,076 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $5,809 and $2,454 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Stock Options

Under the 2010 Plan, the exercise price for common stock must equal at least 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the day an option is granted. The exercise price under an incentive stock option granted to a person owning stock representing more than 10% of the common stock must equal at least 110% of the fair market value at the date of grant, and such option is not exercisable after five years from the date the incentive stock option was granted. The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, provide that an option not be exercised in whole or in part for any period or periods of time as specified in the option agreements. No option may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date it is granted. Stock options granted during the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 vest over average service periods of approximately 6 months and 2 years, respectively.

The fair value of each option is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions that will usually have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. The assumptions for the current period grants were developed based on ASC 718 and SEC guidance contained in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, “Share-Based Payment.”

28

The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used to compute the grant-date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Dividend yield		0.00	%		0.00	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.91	%		1.87	%
Expected option life		5.25 years			5 years
Volatility		45	%		33	%
Weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted	$	8.05		$	4.41

• The dividend yield assumption is consistent with management expectations of dividend distributions based upon the Company’s business plan. An increase in dividend yield will decrease stock compensation expense.

• The risk-free interest rate was developed using the U.S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected life of the options on the grant date. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase stock compensation expense.

• The expected option life for the current period grants was estimated using the vesting period, the term of the option and estimates of future exercise behavior patterns. An increase in the option life will increase stock compensation expense.

• The volatility was estimated using a peer group assessment for periods approximating the expected option life. Appropriate weight is attributed to financial theory, according to which the volatility of an institution’s equity should be related to the volatility of its assets and the entity’s financial leverage. An increase in the volatility will increase stock compensation expense.

ASC 718 requires the recognition of stock-based compensation for the number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, stock based compensation expense was recorded based upon assumptions that the Company would experience no forfeitures. This assumption of forfeitures will be reassessed in subsequent periods based on historical forfeiture rates and may change based on new facts and circumstances. Any changes in assumptions will be accounted for prospectively in the period of change.

As of September 30, 2012, unrecognized compensation expense associated with stock options was $1,829 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately three months. A summary of the stock option activity in the 2010 Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is follows:

	2012				2011
	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share
Balance, January 1,		2,236	$	20.0		—	$	—
Granted		628		20.0		2,236		20.00
Exercised		—		—		—		—
Expired or forfeited		—		—		—		—
Balance, September 30,		2,864	$	20.00		2,236	$	20.00

The weighted average remaining term for outstanding stock options was approximately 8 years at September 30, 2012. The aggregate intrinsic value at September 30, 2012 was $0 for stock options outstanding and $0 for stock options exercisable. The intrinsic value for stock options is calculated based on the exercise price of the underlying awards and the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the reporting date. There were 1,432 options exercisable at September 30, 2012.

29

Options outstanding at September 30, 2012 were as follows:

		Outstanding Options						Options Exercisable
Exercise Prices		Number		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Number		Weighted Average Exercise Price
$	20.00		2,864		7.68 years	$	20.00		1,432	$	20.00

Options outstanding at December 31, 2011 were as follows:

		Outstanding Options						Options Exercisable
Exercise Prices		Number		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life		Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share		Number		Weighted Average Exercise Price
$	20.00		2,236		8.00 years	$	20.00		1,118	$	20.00

Restricted Stock

Restricted stock provides the grantee with voting, dividend and anti-dilution rights equivalent to common shareholders, but is restricted from transfer until vested, at which time all restrictions are removed. Vesting for restricted shares granted to employees is based upon the performance of the Company’s common stock. The terms of the restricted stock awards granted to employees during 2011 and 2012 provide for vesting upon the achievement of stock price goals as follows: (1) 33% at $25.00 per share;(2) 33% at $28.00 per share; and (3) 33% at $32.00 per share. Achievement of stock price goals is generally defined as the average closing price of the shares for any consecutive 30-day trading period exceeding the applicable price target.

The terms of the restricted stock awards granted to directors during 2011 provide for vesting of one-half of the restricted stock on December 22, 2011, and vesting of one-half on December 22, 2012. The fair value of each restricted stock award granted to directors was based on the most recent trade.

The fair value of each restricted stock award granted to employees during the first nine months of 2012 was estimated as of the date of grant using a Monte Carlo approach based on Geometric Brownian Motion that simulated daily stock prices and the related consecutive 30 day average of the simulated stock price over a period of 10 years .The model projected the Company’s fair value of each vesting tranche of the restricted stock award from the mean or expected value from the 100,000 scenarios used.

The fair value of each restricted stock award granted to employees in 2011 was estimated as of the date of grant using a risk-neutral Monte Carlo simulation model that projected the Company’s stock price over 10,000 random scenarios in order to assess the stock price along those paths where vesting conditions are met. The value of the restricted stock award is equal to the weighted average present value of the terminal projected stock price of all 10,000 paths, where paths are set to $0 when vesting conditions are not met or the awards are forfeited.

Both models described above require the input of subjective assumptions that will usually have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used to compute the grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Grant date fair value of shares	$	19.84		$	17.00
Risk-free interest rate		Forward Treasury Curve			Forward Treasury Curve
Market risk premium		0.00	%		0.00	%
Volatility (for 2011 year 1, year 2, year 3 and after 3 years, respectively)		45	%		21% /24% /31% /32.5	%
Annual forfeiture estimate		0.00	%		0.00	%
Weighted average grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards granted	$	18.01		$	13.00

• An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase stock compensation expense.

• The volatility was estimated using a peer group assessment for periods approximating the expected option life. Appropriate weight is attributed to financial theory, according to which the volatility of an institution’s equity should be related to the volatility of its assets and the entity’s financial leverage. An increase in the volatility will increase stock compensation expense.

• An increase in the annual forfeiture estimate will decrease stock compensation expense.

The value of the restricted stock is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the implied service periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, no restricted stock awards vested.

A summary of the restricted stock activity in the plan is as follows:

	2012				2011
	Shares		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share		Shares		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share

11. Income Taxes

Income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations was as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012			Three Months Ended September 30, 2011			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Current income tax provision (benefit)	$	(2,180	)	$	4,448		$	8,591		$	1,189
Deferred income tax provision (benefit)		(30,205	)		(2,255	)		(33,164	)		2,262
Total income tax expense (benefit)	$	(32,385	)	$	2,193		$	(24,573	)	$	3,451

A reconciliation of income tax computed at applicable Federal statutory income tax rates to total income taxes reported is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2012			Three Months Ended September 30, 2011		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011
Pretax income from continuing operations	$	5,460		$	5,942	$	25,808		$	9,580
Income taxes computed at Federal statutory tax rate		1,911			2,080		9,033			3,353
Effect of:
Change in estimate of deductible loan losses		(33,975	)		—		(33,975	)		—
Other, net		(321	)		113		369			98
Total income tax expense (benefit)	$	(32,385	)	$	2,193	$	(24,573	)	$	3,451

The net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $170,293 and $140,047, respectively. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is required when it is considered more likely than not that all or part of the

31

benefit related to such assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considered various factors including projections of future operating results as well as the significant cumulative losses incurred by the operations acquired in recent years. These factors represent the most significant positive and negative evidence that management considered in concluding that no valuation allowance was necessary at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $33,975 in additional deferred tax assets resulting from improvements in forecasted tax deductible credit losses from acquired loans from TIBB, CBKN and GRNB. At each respective acquisition date, the Company records an estimate of deferred tax assets expected to be realized in connection with differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities acquired. Such estimates include assumptions of expected realization of deductible credit losses associated with the acquired loan portfolio. These estimates are based on facts and circumstances existing at each respective acquisition date. According to Section 1374 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, bad debt deductions arising from debts owed at the beginning of the recognition period are not limited as built-in-losses under Section 382, if the deduction is properly taken into account after the first twelve months of the recognition period. As the actual credit losses resulting from acquired loans which qualified as bad debt deductions limited by Section 382 were lower than previously estimated consistent with our 2011 tax returns filed during the third quarter of 2012, the Company increased its deferred tax assets.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $93,674 of Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards which begin to expire after 2029 if unused and are subject to an annual limitation estimated to be $7,898.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of the states of Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no amounts recorded for uncertain tax positions.

12. Fair Value

FASB guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires fair value disclosures for certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis.

This guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

This guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements to maximize the use of observable inputs, that is, inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Cash & cash equivalents

For cash & cash, equivalents the carrying value is primarily utilized as a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Valuation of Investment Securities

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by: 1) obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges when available (Level 1 inputs); 2) matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the financial markets to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs); and 3) for collateralized debt obligations, certain corporate debt securities that are not actively traded and certain other assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in connection with the application of the acquisition method of accounting, custom discounted cash flow modeling (Level 3 inputs).

32

As of September 30, 2012, the Company owned a collateralized debt security where the underlying collateral is comprised primarily of trust preferred securities of banks and insurance companies and certain corporate debt securities which are not actively traded. The inputs used in determining the estimated fair value of these securities are Level 3 inputs. In determining their estimated fair value, management utilizes a discounted cash flow modeling valuation approach. Discount rates utilized in the modeling of these securities are estimated based upon a variety of factors including the market yields of publicly traded trust preferred securities of larger financial institutions and other non-investment grade corporate debt. Additionally, cash flows utilized in the modeling of the collateralized debt obligation security were based upon actual default history of the underlying issuers and issuer specific assumptions of estimated future defaults of the underlying issuers.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. As such, the fair value adjustment for mortgage loans held for sale is classified as nonrecurring Level 2.

Valuation of Impaired Loans and Other Real Estate Owned

The fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses and other real estate owned is generally based on recent real estate appraisals and other available observable market information. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. The Company generally uses independent external appraisers in this process who routinely make adjustments to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. The Company’s policy is to update appraisals, at a minimum, annually for all classified assets, which include collateral dependent loans and OREO. We consider appraisals dated within the past 12 months to be current and do not typically make adjustments to such appraisals. In the Company’s process for reviewing third-party prepared appraisals, any differences of opinion on values, assumptions or adjustments to comparable sales data are typically reconciled directly with the independent appraiser prior to acceptance of the final appraisal.

Sensitivity to Changes in Significant Unobservable Inputs

For recurring fair value estimates categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as of September 30, 2012, the Company owned a collateralized debt security, corporate bonds, and an Industrial Revenue bond. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of these securities are incorporated in the discounted cash flow modeling valuation. Rates utilized in the modeling of these securities are estimated based upon a variety of factors including the market yields of publicly traded trust preferred securities of larger financial institutions and other non-investment grade corporate debt. Cash flows utilized in the modeling of the collateralized debt security were based upon actual default history of the underlying issuers and issuer specific assumptions of estimated future defaults of the underlying issuers. Significant changes in any inputs in isolation would result in a significantly different fair value estimate.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

Valuation of Impaired Loans and Other Real Estate Owned

The fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses and other real estate owned is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Subordinated debentures		84,858		93,845		—		—		93,845

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, receivable from FDIC, accrued interest receivable and payable, noncontractual demand deposits and certain short-term borrowings. As it is not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Reserve, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, indemnification asset and other bankers’ bank stock due to restrictions placed on transferability, the estimated fair value is equal to their carrying amount. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes, and if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer including estimates of discounted cash flows when necessary. For fixed rate loans or contractual deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life, adjusted for the allowance for loan losses. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. Fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates for similar financing.

The fair value of off-balance sheet items that includes commitments to extend credit to fund commercial, consumer, real estate construction and real estate-mortgage loans and to fund standby letters of credit is considered nominal.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain of the matters discussed under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and as such may involve known and unknown risk, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results described in such forward-looking statements. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believes,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “estimate,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “intends” and similar words or phrases. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation: market and economic conditions, the management of our growth, the risks associated with Capital Bank, NA’s loan portfolio and real estate holdings, local economic conditions affecting retail and commercial real estate, our ability to integrate our new management and directors without encountering potential difficulties, the Company’s geographic concentration in the southeastern region of the United States, restrictions imposed by Capital Bank, NA’s loss sharing agreements with the FDIC, the assumptions and judgments required by loss share accounting and the acquisition method of accounting, competition within the industry, dependence on key personnel, government legislation and regulation, the risks associated with identification, completion and integration of any future acquisitions, and risks related to Capital Bank, NA’s technology and information systems. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed in the Company’s Prospectus. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following discussion addresses the factors that have affected the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as reflected in the unaudited consolidated statement of condition as of September 30, 2012, and statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and comparative periods when appropriate. Except as otherwise noted, dollar and share amounts in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are not in thousands.

The following discussion pertains to our historical results, which includes the operations of First National Bank, Metro Bank, Turnberry Bank, TIB Financial, Capital Bank Corp. and Green Bankshares subsequent to our acquisition of each such entity. In this discussion, unless the context suggests otherwise, references to “Old Capital Bank” refer to Capital Bank Corp.’s banking subsidiary prior to June 30, 2011, the date on which NAFH National Bank merged with Old Capital Bank and changed its name to Capital Bank, National Association.

Throughout this discussion we collectively refer to the above acquisitions as the “acquisitions”.

Overview

We are a bank holding company incorporated in late 2009 with the goal of creating a regional banking franchise in the southeastern region of the United States through organic growth and acquisitions of other banks, including failed, underperforming and undercapitalized banks. In December 2009 and January and July 2010, we raised approximately $900 million to make acquisitions through a series of private placements of our common stock. Since inception, we have acquired seven depository institutions, including the assets and certain deposits of the three Failed Banks from the FDIC. We completed the acquisition of Southern Community Financial on October 1, 2012. As of October 2012, we operated 165 branches in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Through our branches, we offer a wide range of commercial and consumer loans and deposits, as well as ancillary financial services.

We were founded by a group of experienced bankers with a multi-decade record of leading, operating, acquiring and integrating financial institutions. Our executive management team is led by our Chief Executive Officer, R. Eugene Taylor. Mr. Taylor is the former Vice Chairman of Bank of America Corp., where his career spanned 38 years, including tenure as President of the Consumer and Commercial Bank. He also has extensive experience executing and overseeing bank acquisitions, including NationsBank Corp.’s acquisition and integration of Bank of America, Maryland National Bank and Barnett Banks, Inc. Our Chief Financial Officer, Christopher G. Marshall, has over 30 years of financial and managerial experience, including service as the Chief Financial Officer of Fifth Third Bancorp and as the Chief Operations Executive for Bank of America’s Global Consumer and Small Business Bank. Our Chief Risk Officer, R. Bruce Singletary, has over 32 years of experience, including 19 years of experience managing credit risk. He has served as Head of Credit for NationsBank Corp. for the Mid-Atlantic region and as Senior Risk Manager for commercial banking for Bank of America’s Florida Bank. Kenneth A. Posner serves as our Chief of Investment Analytics and Research. Mr. Posner spent 13 years as an equity research analyst at Morgan Stanley focusing on a wide range of financial services firms.

Acquisitions

Our banking operations commenced on July 16, 2010, when we purchased approximately $1.2 billion of assets and assumed approximately $960.1 million of deposits of three Failed Banks from the FDIC: First National Bank, Metro Bank and Turnberry Bank. The acquired assets included loans with an estimated fair value of $768.6 million at the acquisition date. These transactions gave us an initial market presence in Miami, which we targeted because of its size and concentrated business activity, and South Carolina, which we targeted because of its attractive demographic growth trends. In connection with the acquisition, we entered into loss-sharing arrangements with the FDIC covering approximately $796.1 million of loans and real estate owned of the Failed Banks that we acquired.

On September 30, 2010, we invested approximately $175.0 million in TIB Financial, a publicly held bank holding company headquartered in Naples, Florida with approximately $1.7 billion in assets at the acquisition date and, after giving effect to a subsequent rights offering to legacy TIB Financial shareholders, we acquired approximately 94% of TIB Financial’s common stock. The acquired assets included loans with an estimated fair value of $1.0 billion at the acquisition date. This acquisition expanded our geographic reach in Florida to include markets that we believe have particularly attractive deposit customer characteristics and provided a platform to support our future growth.

On January 28, 2011, we invested approximately $181.1 million in Capital Bank Corp., a publicly held bank holding company headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina with approximately $1.7 billion in assets at the acquisition date and, after giving effect to a subsequent rights offering to legacy Capital Bank Corp. shareholders, we acquired approximately 83% of Capital Bank Corp.’s common stock. The acquired assets included loans with an estimated fair value of $1.1 billion at the acquisition date. This transaction gave us a strong presence in fast-growing North Carolina markets, including the Raleigh MSA, which, according to SNL Financial, has the eleventh highest projected population growth rate in the nation, with over 12% growth projected between 2011 and 2016.

On September 7, 2011, we invested approximately $217.0 million in Green Bankshares, a publicly held bank holding company headquartered in Greeneville, Tennessee with approximately $2.4 billion in assets at the acquisition date, and we acquired approximately 90% of Green Bankshares’s common stock. The acquired assets included loans with an estimated fair value of $1.3 billion at the acquisition date. This transaction extended our market area into the fast-growing Tennessee metropolitan areas of Nashville and Knoxville.

On September 24, 2012 the Reorganization was completed in which we issued an aggregate of 3.7 million shares of CBF Common Stock to the minority shareholders of TIB Financial, Capital Bank Corp., and Green Bankshares. As a result of the Reorganization all noncontrolling interest stemming from TIB Financial, Capital Bank Corp. and Green Bankshares was eliminated leaving Capital Bank Financial Corp. as the surviving corporation and the sole owner of Capital Bank, NA.

On October 1, 2012, we acquired all of the common equity interest in Southern Community Financial, a publicly held bank holding company headquartered in Winston Salem, North Carolina. The merger consideration for all of the common equity interest consisted of approximately $52.4 million in cash. This acquisition extended our market area in the North Carolina markets.

The following table sets forth the fair value of the assets we acquired in each of our acquisitions as of the applicable acquisition date and shows the acquisition price as a percentage of the most recently reported tangible book value of the assets prior to acquisition accounting and the tangible book value in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting:

⁽¹⁾ Last reported tangible book value is based on the tangible book value per share amount as disclosed by the institution in the quarter immediately preceding the announcement of the acquisition.

⁽²⁾ Tangible book value for the investment or purchase by us reflects all assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in accordance with acquisition accounting subsequent to repurchase and cancellation of TARP preferred stock as applicable. Tangible book value per share is calculated by subtracting goodwill and intangible assets, net of any associated deferred tax liabilities, from the total stockholders’ equity of the acquired entity, subsequent to acquisition accounting adjustments, and dividing this difference by the total number of common shares of the acquired entity. For the Failed Banks, the number of common shares is assumed to be 1. For the acquisition of TIB Financial, the denominator includes the common share equivalents assuming the conversion of the preferred shares issued to us as of the acquisition date.

⁽³⁾ Not a meaningful ratio because consideration of $16.9 million was received on this transaction. Tangible book value acquired was a negative $13.0 million.

⁽⁴⁾ The fair values of assets acquired are within the re-measurement period.

⁽⁵⁾  Ratio reflects management’s estimate as of June 30, 2012 as acquisition accounting adjust as of the acquisition date have not yet been completed.

Comparability to Past Periods

The consolidated financial information presented throughout this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes our consolidated results, including First National Bank, Metro Bank, Turnberry Bank, TIB Financial, Capital Bank Corp. and Green Bankshares. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, our consolidated results includes First National Bank, Metro Bank, Turnberry Bank and TIB Financial, as well as the results of Capital Bank Corp. subsequent to January 28, 2011 and Green Bankshares subsequent to September 7, 2011.

Because substantially all of our business is composed of acquired operations and because the operations of each acquired business were substantially changed in connection with its acquisition, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 reflect different operations in different periods (or portions of periods) and therefore cannot be meaningfully compared. In addition, results of operations for these periods reflect, among other things, the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were initially recorded on our consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair values as of the dates of acquisition. These estimated fair values differed substantially from the carrying amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as reflected in the financial statements of the Failed Banks and of TIB Financial, Capital Bank Corp. and Green Bankshares immediately prior to acquisition. Therefore, certain comparisons to prior periods have been intentionally omitted unless observations we deem meaningful could be disclosed herein.

Material Trends and Developments

As part of the process of integrating the acquisitions into our line of business model, we have appointed experienced bankers to oversee loan and deposit production in each of our markets, centralized and consolidated back office operations and eliminated certain duplicative positions, improved productivity in our sales forces and established line of business reporting. These steps have helped us accelerate new loan production and core deposit growth. New loan production for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $619.8 million and $520.3 million, respectively. Approximately 61.4% consisted of commercial loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 64.3% consisted of commercial loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Core deposits were $3.1 billion at September 30, 2012, an increase of $123.2 million from $2.9 billion on December 31, 2011 and a $193.0 million increase from the third quarter of 2011, excluding the initial increases in deposits resulting from the acquisitions of Old Capital Bank and Green Bankshares. These increases helped further lower the contractual rate on deposits to 0.7% as of September 30, 2012, down from 0.9% as of December 31, 2011.

Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia accounted for 33.7%, 13.9%, 23.5%, 28.7% and 0.2%, respectively, of our new loan originations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee accounted for 41.1%, 27.3%, 30.5%, and 1.1%, respectively, of our new loan originations for nine months ended September 30, 2011.

A significant portion of our core deposit growth resulted from inflows into savings and non-interest bearing accounts. Savings and non-interest bearing accounts increased by $128.4 million or 43.3% and $38.5 million or 5.6%, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Primary Factors Used to Evaluate Our Business

As a financial institution, we manage and evaluate various aspects of both our results of operations and our financial condition. We evaluate the levels and trends of the line items included in our balance sheet and income statement, as well as various financial ratios that are commonly used in our industry. We analyze these ratios and financial trends against our budgeted performance and the financial condition and performance of comparable financial institutions in our region and nationally. Our financial information is

40

prepared in accordance with GAAP. Application of these principles requires management to make complex and subjective estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the following discussion and in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For more information on our accounting policies and estimates, see “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.”

Income Statement Metrics

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets exceeds interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin represents net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. We earn interest income from interest, dividends and fees earned on interest-earning assets, the recognition of accretable yield associated with purchased credit impaired loans, and the amortization and accretion of discounts and premiums on investment securities. We incur interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, including interest-bearing deposits, borrowings and other forms of indebtedness as well as from amortization and accretion of discounts and premiums on purchased time deposits and debt. We seek to maintain our net interest margin by originating commercial and consumer loans we believe to be high-quality and funding these assets primarily with low-cost customer deposits. References throughout this discussion to “commercial loans” include commercial & industrial and owner occupied commercial real estate loans, and references to “commercial real estate loans” include non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, C&D loans and multifamily commercial real estate loans.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date and that, in management’s judgment, is appropriate under GAAP. The determination of the amount of the allowance is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income includes service charges on deposit accounts, debit card income, fees on mortgage loans, investment advisory and trust fees, accretion on the FDIC indemnification asset, other operating income and investment securities gains and losses.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense includes salary and employee benefits, net occupancy expense, conversion related expenses, accounting, legal and other professional expenses, FDIC and state assessments, foreclosed asset related expenses and other operating expenses. We monitor the ratio of non-interest expense to net revenues (net interest income plus non-interest income), which is commonly known as the efficiency ratio.

Net Income

We evaluate our net income using the common industry ratio, return on assets (which we refer to as “ROA”), which is equal to net income for the period annualized, divided by the average of total assets for the period. As part of our budgeting process, we plan to improve the returns on assets of banks we acquire from the lower levels characteristic of institutions operating under financial distress.

Balance Sheet Drivers

Loan Growth

We monitor new loan production on a weekly basis by loan type, borrower type, market and profitability. Our operating strategy focuses on growing assets by originating commercial and consumer loans that we believe to be high quality. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we originated $380.8 million of commercial loans, $157.2 million of consumer loans, $58.1 million of commercial real estate loans and $23.7 million of other loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we originated $334.4 million of commercial loans, $101.4 million of consumer loans, $76.0 million of commercial real estate loans and $8.5 million of other loans. In addition, our acquisition strategy, which focuses on acquiring assets and businesses in southeastern U.S. markets, has resulted in an increase of the number of commercial and consumer loans.

Asset Quality

In order to operate with a sound risk profile, we have focused on originating loans we believe to be of high quality and disposing of non-performing assets as rapidly as possible.

41

We are working to improve the diversification of our portfolio by reducing the concentration of commercial real estate loans in the legacy portfolios of the acquisitions and increasing the contribution of newly originated commercial and consumer loans. We monitor the levels of each loan type in our portfolio on a quarterly basis.

In marking the legacy loan portfolios to market at acquisition, we segregated similar loans into pools and value those pools by projecting lifetime cash flows for each loan based on assumptions about yield, average life and credit losses and then discounting those cash flows to present value. Because of this accounting treatment, we no longer report these loans as non-accrual loans or report charge-offs with respect to these loans. Rather, we monitor the performance of our legacy portfolio by tracking the ratio of non-performing loans against our projections. Each quarter we update our assessment of cash flows for the loans in each pool. To the extent that we make unfavorable changes to estimates of lifetime credit losses for loans in a given pool (other than due to decreases in interest rate indices) which result in the present value of cash flows from the pool being less than our recorded investment of the pool, we record a provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase in the allowance for loan losses for that pool. For any pool where the present value of our most recent estimate of future cumulative lifetime cash flows has increased above its recorded investment, we will first reverse any previously established allowance for loan losses for the pool. If such estimate exceeds the amount of any previously established allowance, we will increase future interest income as a prospective yield adjustment over the remaining life of the pool to a rate which, when used to discount the expected cash flows, results in the present value of such cash flows equaling the recorded investment of the pool at the time of the estimate.

Deposit Growth

We monitor deposit growth by account type, market and rate on a daily and weekly basis. We seek to fund loan growth primarily with low-cost customer deposits either originated or acquired by us.

Liquidity

We manage liquidity based upon policy limits and cash flow modeling. To maintain adequate liquidity, we also monitor indicators of potential liquidity risk, utilize cash flow projection models to forecast liquidity needs, model liquidity stress scenarios and develop contingency plans, and identify alternative back-up sources of liquidity.

Capital

We manage capital to comply with our internal planning targets and regulatory capital standards, including the requirements of the OCC Operating Agreement. We review capital levels on a quarterly basis, and we project capital levels in connection with our organic growth plans and acquisitions to ensure continued compliance. We evaluate a number of capital ratios, including Tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets (the leverage ratio) and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets.

Results of Operations

Overview

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 we had net income of $37.8 million and $50.4 million or $0.75 and $1.00 per diluted share, respectively. Results for the three months ended September 30, 2012 included a tax benefit of $34.0 million related to our deferred tax asset, gains on securities sales of $4.9 million, $4.7 million of merger and conversion related expense, $4.2 million of non-cash equity compensation and $2.9 million of early debt extinguishment expense.

Operating and financial highlights for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 include the following:

• Substantially concurrent with the Company’s initial public offering, which raised net proceeds for the Company of approximately $89.5 million, we reorganized our former subsidiaries, TIB Financial Corp., Capital Bank Corporation and Green Bankshares, Inc., into a single holding company.

• New loan originations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $172.5 million and $619.8 million of which 60.1% and 64.2%, respectively were commercial loans, demonstrating continued execution of our organic growth and portfolio diversification strategies. Commercial real estate represented 32% of our portfolio as of September 30, 2012, a decrease of 15% from December 31, 2011. At September 30, 2012, commercial real estate loans were 32% of the total portfolio, down from 35% at December 31, 2011, consistent with our portfolio diversification strategy.

42

• Core deposits (total deposits minus time deposits) were flat during the third quarter as strong growth in Florida and the Carolinas was offset by reductions in the Tennessee market, where branch operations and product offerings are being realigned to meet Capital Bank strategies and objectives. Core deposits now represent 63% of total deposit funding and total deposits increased to 96.4% of total funding compared to 95.1% the prior quarter.

• Capital Bank, N.A. ended the third quarter with a tier 1 leverage ratio of 12.0%, in excess of regulatory requirements, and Capital Bank Financial Corporation held $234.5 million in cash and cash equivalents at the holding company.

• Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on October 1, 2012, we acquired Southern Community, repaid approximately $47.0 million in outstanding TARP preferred stock and warrants, and merged Southern Community Bank and Trust into our bank subsidiary, Capital Bank, N.A. Southern Community’s 22 branches are now operating under the Capital Bank brand, and systems conversion will take place in the fourth quarter of this year.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the largest component of our income, and is affected by the interest rate environment, and the volume and the composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Our interest-earning assets include loans, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, investment securities, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell. Our interest-bearing liabilities include deposits, federal funds purchased, subordinated debentures underlying the trust preferred securities we acquired in connection with our investments in TIB Financial, Capital Bank Corp. and Green Bankshares, repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings.

Our net interest income decreased from $63.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $60.3 million in the third quarter of 2012, which represents a decrease of approximately 4.7%. The main driver of the decline in net interest income was the reduction in interest earning assets led by problem loan resolutions, strategic repayments, normal loan principal amortization and pay downs partially offset by the continuation of a deleveraging strategy, which reduced wholesale borrowings by approximately $67.5 million.

Additionally the net interest margin contracted 15 basis points to 4.45% in the third quarter of 2012 in comparison to 4.60% in the second quarter of 2012 due to pressure on earning asset yields from the low interest rate environment. Loan yields declined to 6.28% from 6.37% as new originations for the quarter were booked at a weighted-average yield of 4.5%. Securities yields declined to 1.63% from 1.96% as investments with high prepayment risk were sold during the quarter. Earning asset yield pressure was partially offset by a decline in cost of funds to 0.71% from 0.72%, due to growth in the relative proportion of, and reduced costs of, core deposits. Core deposits represent 63% of total deposit funding as of September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, we held cash and securities equal to 23.2% of total assets, which represented $508.9 million of liquidity in excess of our target of 15%. We intend to use the net proceeds from our offering and current excess liquidity and capital for general corporate purposes, including loan growth as well as the acquisition of depository institutions that meet our investment standards. Because our current and anticipated future excess liquidity and capital levels serve to decrease the leverage on our balance sheet, our profitability ratios (e.g., return on equity, return on assets and net interest margin) are negatively affected. Our loan originations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $172.5 million and $619.8 million, respectively. Assuming no other changes to the balance sheet and excluding consideration of paydowns on the existing loan portfolio, at the current loan origination pace, we would continue to have excess liquidity into the fourth quarter of 2012.

Three months ended September 30, 2012

Net interest income was $60.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and included the effects of a reduction of interest earning assets led by problem loan resolutions, strategic repayments, normal loan principal amortization and pay downs partially offset by the continuation of a deleveraging strategy which reduced wholesale borrowings by $67.5 million.

Three months ended September 30, 2011

Net interest income was $54.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and included the effects of maintaining a high level of cash and highly liquid investment securities during the period. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to the inclusion of three weeks of GreenBank operations which we acquired on September 7, 2011 and the use of excess cash to reduce $160.0 million of higher cost FHLB advances.

Nine months ended September 30, 2012

Net interest income was $187.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and included the effects of a reduction of excess liquidity and an expansion of the net interest margin. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we repaid $221.0 million of FHLB advances with higher contractual rates.

Nine months ended September 30, 2011

Net interest income was $127.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 which included three weeks of GreenBank operations. Net interest income during the period included the effects of maintaining a high level of cash and highly liquid investment securities. In the third quarter we reduced $160.0 million of higher cost FHLB advances. Net interest income includes $1.8 million associated with the recognition of the unamortized discount on certain non-PCI loans which were paid in full prior to their contractual maturity resulting in a favorable impact to the net interest margin of 8 basis points during the first nine months of 2011.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The tables below detail the components of the changes in net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. For each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided with respect to changes due to average volumes and changes due to rates, with the changes in both volumes and rates allocated to these two categories based on the proportionate absolute changes in each category.

47

The decrease in average rate and volume on loans for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to the reduction in interest earning assets led by problem loan resolutions, strategic and normal loan principal amortization and pay downs.

The increase in average volume was primarily due to the acquisitions of Green Bankshares and Capital Bank Corp. in 2011. The increase in average rate on loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily due to increases in pool yields as a result of favorable performance in certain acquired impaired loan pools.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses of $5.8 million recorded during the third quarter of 2012 reflects approximately $4.7 million related to additional impairment identified with respect to acquired impaired loans, $0.5 million related to acquired loans which were not considered impaired at the date of acquisition and $0.6 million related to the increase in the allowance for loan losses established for originated loans. We originated $172.5 million in new loans during the third quarter of 2012.

PCI loans, loans acquired where there was evidence of credit deterioration since origination and where it was probable that we will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments, are aggregated in pools of loans with similar risk characteristics and accounted for as purchased credit-impaired. Subsequent to acquisition, estimates of cash flows expected to be collected are updated each reporting period based on updated assumptions regarding default rates, loss severities, and other factors that are reflective of current market conditions. If we have unfavorable changes in our estimates of cash flows expected to be collected for a loan pool (other than due to decreases in interest rate indices) which result in the present value of such cash flows being less than the recorded investment of the pool, we record a provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase in the allowance for loan losses for that pool. If we have favorable changes in our estimates of cash flows expected to be collected for a loan pool such that the then-present value exceeds the recorded investment of that pool, we will first reverse any previously established allowance for loan losses for the pool. If such estimate exceeds the amount of any previously established allowance, we will accrete future interest income over the remaining life of the pool at a rate which, when used to discount the expected cash flows, results in the then-present value of such cash flows equaling the recorded investment of the pool at the time of the revised estimate.

Changes in expected cash flows on loan pools resulted from several factors, which include actual and projected maturity date extensions through renewals of certain loans along with maturity extensions related to workout strategies or borrower requests on other loans; improved precision in the cash flow estimation; actual payment and loss experience on certain loans; and changes to the internal risk ratings of certain loans. When actual and projected maturity dates are extended beyond the dates assumed in previous cash flow estimations, the expected lives of those loans are extended and cash flows as well as impairment and accretable yield can change. We forecast the payment stream of each pool of PCI loans at the original acquisition-date valuation as well as at each subsequent re-estimation date; however, previously un-forecasted loan renewals or extensions can occur as the borrowers’ cash flow needs and other circumstances change over time. Cash flow estimates have generally improved since the acquisition dates as our lending officers and credit administration department have been in regular contact with each borrower and have developed a fuller understanding of each borrowers’ financial condition and business or personal needs. Actual payment experience on certain loans can also change expected cash flows as problem loan resolutions, loan payoffs and prepayments occur. Finally, changes to the risk ratings of certain PCI loans occur based on our evaluation of the financial condition of its borrowers. As the financial condition and repayment ability of borrowers improve over time, our policy is to upgrade the risk ratings associated with these loans and increase our cash flow expectations for these loans. Conversely, as the financial condition and repayment ability of borrowers deteriorate over time, our policy is to downgrade the associated risk ratings and decrease our cash flow expectations for these loans accordingly.

The table below illustrates the impact of our third quarter of 2012 estimates of expected cash flows on PCI loans on impairment and prospective yield:

Three months ended September 30, 2012

The provision for loan losses of $5.8 million recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2012 reflects approximately $4.7 million related to additional impairment identified with respect to acquired impaired loans, $0.5 million related to acquired loans which were not considered impaired at the date of acquisition and $0.6 million related to the increase in the allowance for loan losses established for originated loans. Of the $4.7 million related to the acquired impaired loans, approximately $2.8 million and $1.9 million resulted from the covered portfolio and the non-covered portfolio, respectively. We are covered by indemnification agreements from the FDIC for the covered loan portfolio, and an increase in the value of the indemnification asset of approximately $0.8 million was associated with the provision for loan losses required for these loans during the third quarter of 2012.

Three months ended September 30, 2011

The provision for loan losses of $11.8 million recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2011 reflects approximately $9.0 million related to additional impairment identified with respect to acquired impaired loans, $0.4 million related to acquired loans which were not considered impaired at the date of acquisition and $2.4 million related to the increase in the allowance for loan losses established for originated loans. Of the $9.0 million related to the acquired impaired loans, approximately $4.1 million and $4.9 million resulted from the covered portfolio and the non-covered portfolio, respectively. An increase in the value of the indemnification asset of approximately $2.2 million was associated with the provision for loan losses required for these loans during the third quarter of 2011.

Nine months ended September 30, 2012

The provision for loan losses of $17.8 million recorded during the first nine months of 2012 reflects approximately $12.1 million related to additional impairment identified with respect to acquired impaired loans, $1.0 million related to acquired loans which were not considered impaired at the date of acquisition and $4.7 million related to the increase in the allowance for loan losses established for originated loans and to replenish net charge-offs. We originated $619.8 million in new loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Of the $12.1 million related to the acquired impaired loans, approximately $5.6 million and $6.5 million resulted from the covered portfolio and the non-covered portfolio, respectively. An increase in the value of the indemnification asset of approximately $3.7 million was associated with the provision for loan losses required for these loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Nine months ended September 30, 2011

The provision for loan losses of $21.6 million recorded during the first nine months of 2011 reflects approximately $12.4 million related to additional impairment identified with respect to acquired impaired loans, $3.2 million related to acquired loans which were not considered impaired at the date of acquisition and $6.0 million related to the increase in the allowance for loan losses established for originated loans. Of the $12.4 million related to the acquired impaired loans, approximately $7.0 million and $5.4 million resulted from the covered portfolio and the non-covered portfolio, respectively. An increase in the value of the indemnification asset of approximately $5.6 million was associated with the provision for loan losses required for these loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Non-interest Income

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Non-interest income increased from $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $20.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to increased investment security gains of $2.0 million as investments with a high prepayment risk were sold and rebalancing of the investment portfolio was performed during the quarter. Other drivers were legal and insurance settlement gains of $3.5 million primarily due to a insurance recovery related to a $1.8 million settlement of a class action lawsuit related to the acquired operations of Green Bankshares and the legal settlement is primarily related to a $1.5 million gain on an acquired charged-off loan. Increases in service charges on deposit accounts, debit card income and fees on mortgage loans sold was attributable to the inclusion of Green Bankshares’ results which we acquired on September 7, 2011,

The following table sets forth the components of non-interest income for the periods indicated:

Non-interest Expense

We monitor the ratio of non-interest expense to net revenues (net interest income plus non-interest income), which is commonly known as the efficiency ratio. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, our efficiency ratio was approximately 86.1% and 81.5%. The efficiency ratio was significantly impacted by expenses associated with conversion and merger related expenses, non-cash equity compensation and severance, insurance and legal settlement items, losses on extinguishment of debt, investment security gains during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The system conversions are intended to create operating efficiencies and better position the Company for future growth. Excluding these items, the efficiency ratio would have been approximately 75.4% and 72.3% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure which we believe provides investors with information useful in understanding our business and our operating efficiency.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, our efficiency ratio was approximately 73.3% and 79.6%. The efficiency ratio was significantly impacted by expenses associated with conversion and merger related expenses, non-cash equity compensation and severance expense, legal expenses, extinguishment of debt gain and investment security gains during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Excluding these amounts, the efficiency ratio would have been approximately 69.0% and 71.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Non-interest expense increased from $48.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $69.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and was primarily due to a full quarter of GreenBank operations compared to three weeks of operations from the same period in 2011. Other drivers of the increase for the quarter was an increase of $4.1 million in OREO related costs; $3.4 million resulting from the prepayment of all our remaining FHLB advances; a $2.1 million increase in merger and conversion related expenses and a $1.8 million legal settlement stemming from legacy Green Bankshares which is offset by a $1.8 million gain in non-interest income. The increase in salary, employee benefits and occupancy for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to the inclusion of GreenBanks’ operations as discussed above.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

Non-interest expense was $69.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, which includes $4.2 million of non-cash equity compensation expense related primarily to the stock option and restricted stock amortization expense associated with grants to the Company’s founders. In addition, there were $3.9 million in expenses during the third quarter related to the information technology conversions and merger related expenses. Insurance settlement expense of $1.8 million stemming from legacy Green Bankshares which is offset by a $1.8 million gain in non-interest income and a $2.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to FHLB advance repayments. Foreclosed asset related expenses were $9.6 million and included $8.6 million in OREO valuation adjustments. Such estimated fair value adjustments reflect the decline in real estate values determined by updated appraisals, comparable sales and local market trends in asking prices and data from recent closed transactions. Other OREO operating and ownership expenses were $2.5 million. Such expenses include real estate taxes, insurance and other costs to own and maintain the properties. Also included in the foreclosed asset related expense was approximately $1.5 million in net gains on the sale of $28.2 million in OREO.

Non-interest expense was $48.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, which includes $2.8 million of non-cash equity compensation amortization expense related primarily to stock option and restricted stock grants to the Company’s founders. Approximately $1.8 million in expense was related to the conversion and integration of the Company’s operations onto a common technology platform. Foreclosed asset related expenses were $5.6 million and included $4.4 million in OREO valuation adjustments. Such estimated fair value adjustments reflect the decline in real estate values determined by updated appraisals, comparable sales and local market trends in asking prices and data from recent closed transactions. Other OREO operating and ownership expenses were $2.1 million. Such expenses include real estate taxes, insurance and other costs to own and maintain the properties. Also included in the foreclosed asset related expense was approximately $880,000 in net gains on the sale of $13.2 million in OREO. Subsequent to the acquisition of Green Bankshares, approximately $110.0 million of FHLB advances were prepaid for approximately $416,000 less that their acquisition date fair value, which was included in non-interest expense as a gain on extinguishment of debt.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Non-interest expense increased from $121.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $191.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The main driver of the increase was primarily due to the inclusion of nine months of GreenBank operations as compared to three weeks from the same period in 2011. Other drivers were an increase of $10.6 million in OREO related costs; $3.7 million resulting from the prepayment of all our remaining FHLB advances; a $411,000 increase in merger and conversion related expenses and $2.8 million in legal and insurance settlement expenses, of which $1.8 million stemmed from legacy Green Bankshares which is offset by a $1.8 million gain in non-interest income. The increase in all other non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to the inclusion of GreenBanks’ operations as discussed above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012

Non-interest expense was $191.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which includes $14.9 million of non-cash equity compensation expense related primarily to stock option and restricted stock amortization expense associated with grants to the Company’s founders. As certain of the stock options granted during the period were fully vested on the date of grant, the entire $2.5 million fair value of these awards were recorded during the first quarter. In addition, there were $6.9 million in expenses during the period related to the information technology conversions and merger related expenses. Legal and insurance settlement expense of $2.8 million of which $1.8 million stemmed from legacy Green Bankshares which is offset by a $1.8 million gain in non-interest income and $3.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to FHLB advance repayments. Foreclosed asset related expenses were $19.0 million and included $15.5 million in OREO valuation adjustments. Such estimated fair value adjustments reflect the decline in real estate values determined by updated appraisals, comparable sales and local market trends in asking prices and data from recent closed transactions. Other OREO operating and ownership expenses were $7.4 million. Such expenses include real estate taxes, insurance and other costs to own and maintain the properties. Also included in the foreclosed asset related expense was approximately $3.9 million in net gains on the sale of $74.2 million in OREO.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Non-interest expense was $121.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 which included a full eight months of operations of Capital Bank which was acquired on January 28, 2011 and three weeks of operations of GreenBank which was acquired on September 7, 2011. Conversion related expenses of $6.5 million were related to $3.7 million of accruals for the early termination of certain information technology system related contracts and $2.8 million of expense related to the conversion of the Company’s operations onto a common technology platform. Foreclosed asset related expenses were $8.4 million and included $5.4 million in OREO valuation adjustments. Such estimated fair value adjustments reflect the decline in real estate values determined by updated appraisals, comparable sales and local market trends in asking prices and data from recent closed transactions. Other OREO operating and ownership expenses were $5.1 million. Such expenses include real estate taxes, insurance and other costs to own and maintain the properties. Also included in the foreclosed asset related expense was approximately $2.1 million in net gains on the sale of $53.1 million in OREO. Legal and other professional fees included $1.5 million of legal expense related to the acquisition of Capital Bank Corp. on January 28, 2011 and Green Bankshares on September 7, 2011. Marketing expense included approximately $550,000 of expense related to our re-branding campaign of Capital Bank, NA. Subsequent to the acquisition of Green Bankshares, approximately $110.0 million of FHLB advances were prepaid for approximately $416,000 less that their acquisition date fair value, which was included in non-interest expense as a gain on extinguishment of debt.

Income Taxes

The calculation of our income tax provision is complex and requires the use of estimates and judgments. As part of our analysis and implementation of business strategies, consideration is given to the tax laws and regulations that apply to the specific facts and circumstances for any tax position under evaluation. For tax positions that are uncertain in nature, management determines whether the tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. For tax positions that meet the threshold, management then

55

estimates the amount of the tax benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Management closely monitors tax developments in order to evaluate the effect they may have on our overall tax position and the estimates and judgments used in determining the income tax provision and records adjustments as necessary.

The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes. Fluctuations in effective tax rates reflect the effect of the differences in the inclusion or deductibility of certain income and expenses, respectively, for income tax purposes. At September 30, 2012, we had a deferred tax asset of $170.3 million, which principally reflects the tax effect of the acquisition accounting adjustments made in connection with each of the acquisitions, subject to the limits of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (which we refer to as the “Internal Revenue Code”), which determines our ability to preserve the tax benefits of existing net operating losses and built-in losses in a change of control.

At September 30, 2012, we recorded $34.0 million in income tax benefit as a result of an increase in our deferred tax asset due to an improvement in forecasted tax deductible losses from acquired loans. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, a calculation is required to limit the NOLs and other built-in losses from the acquired companies. As we completed certain tax analyses and filed our 2011 tax return during the third quarter of 2012, we concluded that our deferred tax asset estimates were too conservative with regard to loan losses that would be limited. As a result, we recognized the increased value of our deferred tax asset associated with our increased deductibility expectations.

A tax benefit of $0.4 million was recorded due to a favorable return to provision adjustment during the quarter.

Our future effective income tax rate will fluctuate based on the mix of taxable and tax-free investments we make and our overall level of taxable income. See the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional information about the calculation of income tax expense and the various components thereof. Additionally, there were no unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, and we do not expect the total of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase in the next 12 months.

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2012

The income tax benefit was $32.4 million and $24.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The effective income tax rates were approximately (593.1)% and (95.2) % for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Excluding the income tax benefits related to the deductible losses of $34.0 million, and return to provision adjustment of $0.4 million, the effective income tax rates were approximately 35.8% and 37.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2011

The provision for income taxes was $2.2 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The effective income tax rates were approximately 36.9% and 36.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. As we operated at near breakeven levels during the first, second and third quarters of 2011, changes in our operations and amounts not included or deducted in arriving at taxable income during these periods caused significant variances on our expected effective tax rate for the year. Accordingly the provision for income taxes recorded during the third quarter of 2011 was higher than that recorded for the second quarter of 2011 as we recorded the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 that was consistent with our most recent expectations of the effective income tax rates applicable in 2011.

Net Income

Three months ended September 30, 2012

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, our net income of $37.8 million represented an ROA (which is equal to net income for the period annualized, divided by the average of total assets for the period) of 2.44% and an ROE (which is equal to net income for the period annualized, divided by the average of total equity for the period) of 14.68%. Net income of $2.8 million attributable to noncontrolling stockholders resulted in net income attributable to CBF of $35.1 million (or $0.76 per basic share and $0.75 per diluted share). Net income includes a tax benefit of $34.0 million related to an increase in our deferred tax asset resulting from an improvement in forecasted deductible tax losses from acquired loans, foreclosed asset related expense of $9.6 million, $4.9 million of gains on sales of investment securities, $3.9 million in expenses related to information technology conversion and merger related expenses, non-cash equity compensation expense of $4.2 million, $2.9 million of loss on extinguishment of debt and net legal settlement income of $1.7 million. Net interest income of $60.3 million and non-interest income of $20.4 million were partially offset by the provision for loan losses of $5.8 million and non-interest expense of $69.6 million.

Three months ended September 30, 2011

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, our net income of $3.7 million represented an ROA of 0.27% and an ROE of 1.55%. Net income of $538,000 attributable to noncontrolling stockholders resulted in net income attributable to CBF of $3.2 million

56

(or $0.07 per basic and diluted share). Net income includes $5.6 million of foreclosed asset expense, $1.8 million of expense related to the conversion of the Company’s operations onto a common technology, $750,000 of legal costs related to the Green Bankshares acquisition on September 7, 2011, and non-cash equity compensation expense of $2.4 million. Offsetting these expenses were $2.9 million related to net gains on sales of securities, accretion on the FDIC indemnification asset of approximately $2.3 million and a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $416,000. Net interest income of $54.2 million and non-interest income of $12.4 million were partially offset by the provision for loan losses of $11.8 million and non-interest expense of $48.8 million.

Nine months ended September 30, 2012

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our net income of $50.4 million represented an ROA of 1.05% and an ROE of 6.63%. Net income of $4.5 million attributable to noncontrolling stockholders resulted in net income attributable to CBF of $45.8 million (or $1.01 per basic share and $1.00 per diluted share). Net income includes a tax benefit of $34.0 million related to an increase in our deferred tax asset resulting from an improvement in forecasted tax deductible losses from acquired loans, foreclosed asset related expense of $19.0 million, $8.6 million of gains on sales of investment securities, $6.9 million in expenses related to information technology conversion and merger related expenses, non-cash equity compensation expense of $14.9 million, $3.3 million of loss on extinguishment of debt and net legal settlement income of $1.7 million. Net interest income of $187.5 million and non-interest income of $47.4 million were partially offset by the provision for loan losses of $17.8 million and non-interest expense of $191.4 million.

Nine months ended September 30, 2011

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our net income of $6.1 million represented an ROA of 0.17% and an ROE of 0.86%. Net income of $932,000 attributable to noncontrolling stockholders resulted in net income attributable to CBF of $5.2 million (or $0.12 per basic share and $0.11 per diluted share). Net income includes $8.4 million of foreclosed asset expense, $6.5 million of expense related to the conversion of the Company’s operations onto a common technology, $1.5 million of legal costs related to the Capital Bank Corp. acquisition on January 28, 2011 and the Green Bankshares acquisition on September 7, 2011, and non-cash equity compensation expense of $5.4 million. Offsetting these expenses were $3.0 million related to net gains on sales of securities, accretion on the FDIC indemnification asset of approximately $5.2 million and a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $416,000. Net interest income of $127.7 million and non-interest income of $24.8 million were partially offset by the provision for loan losses of $21.6 million and non-interest expense of $121.4 million.

Financial Condition

Our assets totaled $6.2 billion and $6.6 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Total loans at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $4.1 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively. Total deposits were $4.8 billion and $5.1 billion at September 30, 2012 and December 31, respectively. Borrowed funds, consisting of short-term borrowings, notes payable and subordinated debentures, totaled $182.5 million at September 30, 2012. Borrowed funds, consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances, short-term borrowings, notes payable and subordinated debentures, totaled $415.7 million at December 31, 2011. The decreases in total loans, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were primarily due to planned reductions in both criticized and classified loans and in non-strategic commercial real estate loans.

Core deposits were flat during the third quarter as strong growth in Florida and the Carolinas was offset by reductions in the Tennessee market, where branch operations and product offerings are being realigned to meet Capital Bank strategies and objectives. The decline in total deposits was primarily due to the reduction of high contractual rate CD’s.

Shareholders’ equity was $1.2 billion and $990.9 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The increase in shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was due to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering, which raised net proceeds for the Company of approximately $89.5 million.

Loans

Our loan portfolio is our primary earning asset. Our strategy is to grow the loan portfolio by originating commercial and consumer loans that we believe to be of high quality, that comply with our conservative credit policies and that produce revenues consistent with our financial objectives. Additionally, we are working to reduce excessive concentrations in commercial real estate loans, which were the predominant portion of the acquisitions’ legacy portfolios, in order to achieve a more diversified portfolio mix.

The following table sets forth the carrying amounts of our loan portfolio.

(Dollars in thousands)	As of September 30, 2012					As of December 31, 2011					Sequential Change

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our loan portfolio decreased by $230.3 million due to $378.4 million in resolutions and $471.6 million in net principal repayments, partially offset by $619.8 million of new loan originations during the period. The composition of new loan production is indicative of our business strategy of emphasizing commercial and industrial and consumer loans and reducing our overall concentration of commercial real estate loans. As illustrated in greater detail in the table below, commercial and industrial loans and consumer and other loans represented approximately 61.4% and 29.2%, respectively, of new loan production for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We expect that this production emphasis, which resulted in nearly 90.6% of our new loan production for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in categories other than commercial real estate, along with normal runoff of the legacy portfolios, will, over time, lead to the reduction of our concentration in commercial real estate loans which represented approximately 31.6% of the outstanding balance of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2012.

Commercial loan production for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $380.8 million. As a result of stronger volumes, commercial loans made up over one-half of our new loan originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, while commercial real estate loans were 9.4% of new loan originations, consistent with our plans to reduce concentrations in this category.

We underwrite commercial real estate loans based on the value of the collateral, the ratio of debt service to property income and the creditworthiness of tenants. Due to the inherent risk of commercial real estate lending, we underwrite loans selectively, with the goal of reducing the concentration in our portfolio over time.

Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia accounted for 33.7%, 13.9%, 23.5%, 28.7% and 0.2% of our new loan originations, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee accounted for 41.1%, 27.3%, 30.5% and 1.1% of our new loan originations, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Asset Quality

Consistent with our strategy of operating with a sound risk profile, we have focused on originating loans we believe to be of high quality, disposing of non-performing assets as rapidly as possible, and reducing the size of our legacy commercial real estate loan portfolio. To achieve these objectives, we underwrite new loans and manage existing loans in accordance with our underwriting standards under the direction of our chief risk officer. Additionally, we have assigned senior credit officers to oversee the Florida, Tennessee and Carolinas markets, and we have established a special assets division to dispose of legacy problem loans and OREO.

We refer to our loans covered under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC as “covered loans.” These are the legacy loans of Metro Bank, Turnberry Bank, and First National Bank that are covered by FDIC loss sharing agreements that reimburse us for 80% of net charge-offs and OREO losses over a five-year period for commercial loans and a ten-year period for residential loans. We refer to all other loans as “non-covered loans.” These are loans we originate, loans acquired through the acquisitions of Capital Bank, TIB Bank and Greenbank and certain consumer loans of the Failed Banks that we acquired, which are not covered by any loss sharing agreement.

Covered Loans

As of September 30, 2012, covered loans were $453.2 million, representing 10.7% of our loan portfolio. Also as of September 30, 2012, the covered loans were 3.3% past due 30-89 days, 20.7% greater than 90 days past due and still accruing/accreting and 0.6% nonaccrual, reflecting the severity of the real estate downturn and the excessive concentrations in commercial real estate and poor quality underwriting that characterized the banks we acquired from the FDIC under their prior business models. We have recorded these loans at estimated fair value reflecting expected lifetime losses estimated as of the respective acquisition dates. Projected reimbursements from the FDIC relating to projected future losses on covered loans are recorded as the FDIC indemnification asset, which was $56.5 million as of September 30, 2012. Actual claims for reimbursement filed with the FDIC for incurred losses on covered loans but not yet paid were $9.3 million at September 30, 2012.

As of December 31, 2011, covered loans were $550.6 million, representing 12.8% of our loan portfolio. Also as of December 31, 2011, the covered loans were 4.8% past due 30-89 days, 22.1% greater than 90 days past due and still accruing/accreting and 0.5% nonaccrual, reflecting the severity of the real estate downturn and the excessive concentrations in commercial real estate and poor quality underwriting that characterized the banks we acquired from the FDIC under their prior business models. The FDIC indemnification asset was $66.3 million as of December 31, 2011. Actual claims for reimbursement filed with the FDIC for incurred losses on covered loans but not yet paid were $13.3 million at December 31, 2011.

We manage credit risk associated with loans covered under loss sharing agreements in the same manner as credit risk associated with non-covered loans. This includes following consistent policies and procedures relating to the process of working with borrowers in efforts to resolve problem loans resulting in the lowest losses possible and collection including foreclosure, repossession and the ultimate liquidation of any applicable underlying collateral. The loss sharing agreements also contain certain restrictions and conditions which, among other things, provide that certain credit risk management strategies such as loan sales, under certain conditions, could be prohibited under the agreements and may lead to the termination of coverage of any applicable losses on the related loans. Accordingly, actions taken by management in the process of prudently managing credit risk and borrower relationships, including, but not limited to, the renewal of covered loans for periods extending beyond the expiration of the applicable loss sharing agreement, the extension of additional credit or the making of certain modifications of loan terms, can lead to the termination of coverage under the loss sharing agreements for these particular loans. Additionally, the loss sharing agreements limit coverage to ten years for residential loans and five years for other covered loans.

Collection of loss claims under the loss sharing agreements requires extensive and specific recordkeeping and incremental monthly and quarterly reporting to the FDIC on the status of covered loans. The loss claims filed and the related reporting on covered loans to the FDIC are subject to review and approval by the FDIC and various subcontractors utilized by the FDIC. The requirements for such reporting and interpretations thereof are occasionally revised by the FDIC and its subcontractors. Such changes along with our ability to comply with the requirements and revisions require interpretation and can lead to delays in the collection of claims on losses incurred. Claims filed by us for losses realized through September 30, 2012, and claims filed by us for losses realized through December 31, 2011, totaling $19.3 million and $77.4 million, respectively, have been collected from the FDIC. Additionally, the loss sharing agreements provide for regular examination of compliance with loss sharing agreements including independent reviews of relevant policies and procedures and detailed audits of claims filed. Noncompliance with the provisions of the loss sharing agreements can lead to termination of the agreements.

Non-Covered Loans

As of September 30, 2012, non-covered loans were $3.6 billion, representing 89.3% of our loan portfolio. Also as of September 30, 2012, our non-covered loans were 1.8% past due 30-89 days, 6.5% greater than 90 days past due and still accruing/accreting and 0.3% nonaccrual.

As of December 31, 2011, non-covered loans were $3.8 billion, representing 87.2% of our loan portfolio. Also as of December 31, 2011, our non-covered loans were 2.1% past due 30-89 days, 6.8% greater than 90 days past due and still accruing/accreting and 0.1% nonaccrual.

As the majority of the loans are acquired impaired loans, these loans have also been affected by the real estate downturn and excessive commercial real estate concentrations. However, the credit quality of these loans is generally higher than that of the covered loans. In connection with the acquisitions, we applied acquisition accounting adjustments to the non-covered loans not originated by us to reflect estimates at the time of acquisition of the expected lifetime losses of such loans.

Of the loans past due greater than 90 days and still in accruing/accreting status as of September 30, 2012, $90.2 million (or approximately 27.6%) were loans covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. All of these loans were acquired loans and such loans were either PCI loans or, based upon their recorded investment, were considered well secured and in the process of collection and met the criteria for reporting as 90 days past due and still accruing.

Nine months ended September 30, 2012

Total non-performing loans as of September 30, 2012 declined by $45.0 million to $337.6 million as compared to $382.6 million at December 31, 2011. The net decline in non-performing loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was attributable to $65.5 million in transfers to other real estate owned through foreclosures or receipt of deeds in lieu of foreclosures and $117.0 million in resolutions. Offsetting the decline was $137.6 million of loans that became non-performing.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we foreclosed, or received deeds in lieu of foreclosure, on $65.5 million in loans, of which approximately 56% consisted of commercial real estate loans and approximately 14% and 16% were associated with the covered loans in Florida and South Carolina, respectively. Of the loans transferred to other real estate owned during the period, 30% were covered by loss sharing agreements.

Sales of other real estate owned were $74.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Approximately 64% of the sales were commercial real estate, and approximately 18% and 12% were associated with the covered loans in Florida and South Carolina, respectively. Loss sharing agreements covered 30% of these sales.

We regularly reassess the performance of the acquired portfolios by comparing actual to expected cash flows for a number of pools of similar loans. For those pools that exhibit performance below expectations which result in the present value of such cash flows being less than the recorded investment of the pool, we record a provision to establish or increase an allowance for losses. For loan pools that perform above expectations such that the present value exceeds the recorded investment of that pool, we will first reverse any previously established allowance and then record an increase in accretable yield, which is then amortized into net income as an increase in net interest income over the remaining life of the pool.

66

The changes in expected cash flows on certain loan pools during 2012 and 2011 resulted from several factors, which included actual and projected maturity date extensions through renewals of certain loans along with maturity extensions related to workout strategies or borrower requests on other loans, improved precision in the cash flow estimation for acquired loans, actual payment and loss experience on certain loans and changes to the internal risk ratings of certain loans. When actual and projected maturity dates are extended beyond the dates assumed in previous cash flow estimations, the expected lives of those loans are extended and cash flows as well as impairment and accretable yield can change. The Company forecasts the payment stream of each pool of PCI loans at the original acquisition-date valuation as well as at each subsequent re-estimation date; however, previously un-forecasted loan renewals or extensions can occur as the borrowers’ cash flow needs and other circumstances change over time. Cash flow estimates have improved for the acquired loans since the acquisition date as the Company’s lending officers and credit administration department have been in regular contact with each borrower and have developed a fuller understanding of each borrower’s financial condition and business or personal needs. Actual payment experience on certain loans can also change expected cash flows as problem loan resolutions, loan payoffs and prepayments occur. Finally, changes to the risk ratings of certain PCI loans occur based on the Company’s evaluation of the financial condition of its borrowers. As the financial condition and repayment ability of borrowers improve over time, the Company’s policy is to upgrade the risk ratings associated with these loans and increase its cash flow expectations for these loans. Conversely, as the financial condition and repayment ability of borrowers deteriorate over time, the Company’s policy is to downgrade the associated risk ratings and decrease its cash flow expectations for these loans accordingly.

Allowance for Loan Losses

For newly originated loans, we have recorded a provision to establish an allowance against loan losses. At September 30, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $51.6 million of which $13.2 million related to loans we originated or acquired non-PCI loans. As of September 30, 2012, we have recorded provisions of $38.4 million associated with PCI loans. As of December 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $34.7 million and $8.4 million of the allowance for loan losses related to loans we originated or acquired non-PCI loans and $26.3 million related to PCI loans.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. Based upon our most recent estimates of expected cash flows, approximately $38.4 million of the allowance for loan losses was required to be allocated for PCI loans as of September 30, 2012. Our formalized process for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the resultant need, if any, for periodic provisions to the allowance charged to income, includes both individual loan analyses and loan pool analyses. Individual loan analyses are periodically performed on loan relationships of a significant size, or when otherwise deemed necessary, and are performed primarily on commercial real estate and other commercial loans. The result is that commercial real estate loans and commercial loans are divided into the following risk categories: Pass, Special Mention, Substandard and Loss. The allowance consists of specific and general components. When appropriate, a specific reserve will be established for individual loans based upon the risk classifications and the estimated potential for loss. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. Otherwise, we estimate an allowance for each risk category.

Home equity loans, indirect auto loans, residential loans and consumer loans generally are not analyzed individually or separately identified for impairment disclosures. These loans are grouped into pools and assigned risk categories based on their current payment status and management’s assessment of risk inherent in the various types of loans. The allocations are based on the same factors mentioned above. However, should such loans exceeding certain size thresholds exhibit signs of impairment, they are individually evaluated for impairment.

Senior management and our Board of Directors review this calculation and the underlying assumptions on a routine basis not less frequently than quarterly.

The acquisitions of our banking operations during 2010 and the acquisition of Capital Bank Corp. and Green Bankshares during the first and third quarter of 2011, respectively, resulted in significant preliminary accounting adjustments recorded, resulting in the majority of our balance sheet being recently valued at fair value. The most significant adjustments related to loans that previously were recorded at values reflecting estimated fair values as of the various acquisition dates. Due to these accounting adjustments, no allowance for loan losses was recorded for acquired loans upon acquisition.

The provision for loan losses is a charge to income in the current period to establish or replenish the allowance and maintain it at a level that management has determined to be adequate to absorb estimated incurred losses in the loan portfolio for originated loans. A provision for loan losses is also required for any unfavorable changes in expected cash flows related to pools of purchased impaired loans. The provision for loan losses and expectations of cash flows may be impacted by many factors, including changes in the value of real estate collateralizing loans, net charge-offs and credit losses incurred, changes in loans outstanding, changes in impaired loans, historical loss rates and the mix of loan types. The provisions for loan losses were $5.8 million and $11.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, $4.7 million of the provision for loan losses reflects impairment related to unfavorable changes in estimates of expected cash flows in certain pools of purchased impaired loans. The remainder of the provision for loan losses includes the allowance for loan losses established for loans originated by us and non-PCI acquired loans.

As the majority of our acquired loans are considered PCI loans, our provision for loan losses in future periods will be most significantly influenced in the short term by the differences between the actual credit losses resulting from the resolution of problem loans and the estimated credit losses used in determining the estimated fair values of purchased impaired loans as of their acquisition dates. For loans originated by us, the provision for loan losses will be affected by the loss potential of impaired loans and trends in the delinquency of loans, non-performing loans and net charge offs, which cannot be reasonably predicted.

Management continuously monitors and actively manages the credit quality of the entire loan portfolio and will continue to recognize the provision required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. Management made the following principal enhancements to the methodology during the third quarter of 2012:

• Narrowed historical credit loss experience data to a peer group of similar financial institutions; previously credit loss experience data for all FDIC banks was utilized. This refinement was made to reflect the trends that are occurring in similar financial institutions.

• Increased historical credit loss look-back period. The Company began extending its look-back period to reflect a trailing five year business cycle by prospectively adding an additional quarter of data until five a year period is included.

• Inclusion of additional qualitative factors. The Company has incorporated the following factors into its qualitative analysis: i) changes in the nature and product mix of the portfolio; ii) credit loan review coverage and associated findings; and iii) macroeconomic collateral value trends.

These model enhancements were in part due to the increasing proportion of originated loans to total loans, increasing balances of originated loans and associated allowances and the overall aging of the portfolio. We identified a group of financial institutions whose loss experience over the term of our two year operating history and looking forward is expected to be most relevant to estimating incurred losses. Additionally, the look back period for peer loan losses used in the model will be increased to match the increasing aging of the originated portfolio. We also believe that increasing to a full business cycle will incorporate relevant available data and the incremental qualitative factors will improve directional consistency between management expectations and model results. These enhancements did not have a material impact on the estimated allowance for loan losses during the period.

Criticized and Classified Loans

Loans with the following attributes are categorized as criticized and classified loans: (1) a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention; (2) inadequate protection by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged; or (3) weaknesses which make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The following table summarizes criticized and classified loans at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

(1) PCI and Non-PCI loans are included in the balances presented.

Total criticized and classified loans as of September 30, 2012 declined $169.7 million as compared to December 31, 2011 as $65.5 million of transfers to other real estate owned, and $215.9 million of pay downs and charge offs and upgrades were offset by $111.7 million of downgrades.

Impaired Loans

Non-performing loans and impaired loans are defined differently. Some loans may be included in both categories, whereas other loans may only be included in one category. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract. Generally, residential mortgages, commercial and commercial real estate loans exceeding certain size thresholds established by management are individually evaluated for impairment. Non-accrual loans and restructured loans where loan term concessions benefiting the borrowers have been made are generally designated as impaired. The application of the acquisition method of accounting due to the acquisitions of our banking operations in 2010 and 2011 resulted in all acquired loans, impaired as well as non-impaired loans, being recorded in the financial statements at their fair value at the date of acquisition, and the historical allowance for loan loss associated with these loans by the predecessor institutions was eliminated. The fair value of loans is determined by the net present value of the expected cash flows, taking into consideration the credit quality and expectations of credit losses. The majority of acquired loans were classified as purchased credit impaired loans and were accounted for in pools of loans with similar risk characteristics.

Within the context of the accounting for impaired loans described in the preceding paragraph, other than the PCI loans described above, there were one single-family residential loan and one commercial and industrial loan which were individually evaluated for impairment totaling approximately $3.9 million as of September 30, 2012. Two single-family residential loans totaling $0.8 million were individually evaluated as of December 31, 2011. No allowance for loan losses was recorded for such loans as of either date.

71

As discussed in preceding section “Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses” based upon the most recent estimates of pool expected cash flows, impairment of purchased credit impaired loans of approximately $4.7 million was identified during the third quarter of 2012.

Due to the pool method of accounting for purchased credit impaired loans, non-performing PCI loans are reported as 90 days past due and still accruing/accreting. Going forward additional, acquired loans not classified as purchased credit impaired and loans originated by us may become impaired and will be classified as such. Impaired loans also include loans which were not classified as non-accrual, but otherwise meet the criteria for classification as an impaired loan (i.e., loans for which the collection of all principal and interest amounts as specified in the original loan contract are not expected, or where management has substantial doubt that the collection will be as specified, but is still expected to occur in its entirety). In our evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, we consider (1) purchased credit impaired loans and loans classified as impaired, (2) our historical portfolio loss experience and trends and (3) certain other quantitative and qualitative factors.

Non-performing Assets

Non-performing assets include accruing/accreting loans delinquent 90 days or more, non-accrual loans and investment securities, repossessed personal property and other real estate. Non-PCI loans and investments in debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when management has concerns relating to the ability to collect the principal and interest and generally when such assets are 90 days past due. Non-performing assets were as follows:

Investment Securities

Investment securities represent a significant portion of our assets. We invest in a variety of securities, including obligations of the U.S. government agencies, U.S. government-sponsored entities, including mortgage-backed securities, bank eligible obligations of state or political subdivision, privately issued mortgage-backed securities, bank eligible corporate obligations, mutual funds and limited types of equity securities.

Our investment activities are governed internally by a written, board-approved policy. The investment policy is carried out by our Treasury department. Investment strategies are reviewed by the Audit Committee based on the interest rate environment, balance sheet mix, actual and anticipated loan demand, funding opportunities and our overall interest rate sensitivity. In general, the investment portfolio is managed in a manner appropriate to the attainment of the following goals: (1) to provide a margin of liquid assets sufficient to meet unanticipated deposit and loan fluctuations and overall funds management objectives; (2) to provide eligible securities to secure public funds and other borrowings; and (3) to earn the maximum return on funds invested that is commensurate with meeting our first two goals.

Our investment securities consisted primarily of U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities, which expose us to a lower degree of credit and liquidity risk. The following table sets forth our investment securities (including trading, available for sale and held to maturity securities) as of September 30, 2012:

We regularly review each investment security for impairment based on criteria that include the extent to which cost exceeds the estimated fair value, the duration of that market decline, the financial health of and specific prospects for the issuer(s) and our ability and intention with regard to holding the security to maturity. Future declines in the fair value of securities may result in impairment charges which may be material to our financial condition and results of operations. More specifically, our impairment analysis is based on the following: (1) whether it is “more likely than not” we would have to sell a security prior to recovery of the amortized cost; (2) whether we intend to sell the security; and (3) whether or not we expect to recover our recorded investment on an amortized cost basis based on credit characteristics of the investment. If, based upon our analysis, any of those conditions exist for a given security, we would generally be required to record an impairment charge in the amount of the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value of such security.

The Company owns a collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) collateralized by trust preferred securities issued primarily by banks and several insurance companies. Valuation and measurement of OTTI of this investment falls under ASC 325-40, Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets. The Company compares the present value of expected cash flows to the previous estimate to ensure there are no adverse changes in the expected cash flows. The Company utilizes a discounted cash flow valuation model which considers the structure and term of the CDO and the financial condition of the underlying issuers. Specifically, the model details interest rates, principal balances of note classes and underlying issuers, the timing and amount of interest and principal payments of the underlying issuers, and the allocation of the payments to the note classes. The current estimate of expected cash flows is based on the most recent trustee reports and any other relevant market information including announcements of interest payment deferrals or defaults by issuers of the underlying trust preferred securities. Assumptions used in the model include expected future default rates. Interest payment deferrals are generally treated as defaults even though they may not actually result in defaults. Management engaged an independent third party valuation firm to estimate the fair value and credit loss potential of this security.

Based on this analysis, as of September 30, 2012, the estimated fair value of the CDO improved by $41 during the quarter. In addition, the credit loss potential of the CDO improved. Since previous credit impairment was recognized, no recovery is allowed under U.S. GAAP. The CDO was recorded at fair value and the remaining unrealized loss was recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

The table below presents a rollforward of the OTTI credit losses recognized in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Deposits

Our strategy is to fund asset growth primarily with low-cost customer deposits in order to maintain a stable liquidity profile and net interest margin. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we continued to emphasize growth in “core deposits,” which we define as demand deposit accounts, savings and money market accounts, in order to reduce the reliance on certificates of deposit that characterized certain of our acquired banks under their historic business models. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we grew core deposits by $123.2 million and allowed certificates of deposit to be reduced by $401.2 million as certain high-cost and brokered certificates of deposit matured and were not replaced. The contractual rate on deposits declined from 0.89% as of December 31, 2011 to 0.70% as of September 30, 2012. The following table sets forth the balances and average contractual rates payable to customers on our deposits, segmented by account type as of the end of the period:

A significant portion of core deposit growth resulted from inflows into savings and money market accounts, and some of this activity reflects price-sensitive customers shifting out of certificates of deposit due to low prevailing market rates. To reduce the amount of new price-sensitive deposits we may attract, we have also lowered money market and savings rates in a targeted fashion.

The following table sets forth our average deposits and the average rates expensed for the periods indicated:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In order to maintain a conservative risk profile, we operate with a prudent cushion of capital in relation to regulatory requirements and to the risk of our assets and business model. For planning purposes, we expect to operate with a minimum capital target equal to an 8% leverage ratio (defined as Tier 1 capital equal to 8% of average tangible assets), which would be in excess of regulatory standards for “well-capitalized” banks. We believe the 8% target is appropriate for our business model because of our conservative loan underwriting policies, investment portfolio composition, funding strategy, interest rate risk management limits and liquidity risk profile and because of the experience of our senior management team and Board of Directors.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had a 16.58% and 13.16% tangible common equity ratio, respectively. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides investors with information useful in understanding our financial performance and, specifically, our capital position. The tangible common equity ratio is calculated as tangible common shareholders’ equity divided by tangible assets. Tangible common equity is calculated as total shareholders’ equity less preferred stock and less goodwill and other intangible assets, net and tangible assets are total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets, net. The following table provides reconciliations of tangible common equity to GAAP total common shareholders’ equity and tangible assets to GAAP total assets:

(Dollars in millions)	As of September 30, 2012			As of December 31, 2011

Tangible assets	$	6,098		$	6,443
Tangible common equity ratio		16.58	%		13.16	%

As of September 30, 2012, we had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 15.9%, which provides us with $350.5 million in excess capital relative to the 10% Tier 1 leverage ratio required under the OCC Operating Agreement and $469.0 million in excess capital relative to our longer-term target of 8%. As of September 30, 2012, we had cash and securities equal to 23.2% of total assets, representing $508.9 million of excess liquidity in excess of our target of 15%. As of September 30, 2012, Capital Bank, N.A. had a 12.0% Tier 1 leverage ratio, a 17.5% Tier 1 risk-based ratio and an 18.8% total risk-based capital ratio.

As of December 31, 2011, we had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 12.6%, which provided us with $163.2 million in excess capital relative to the 10% Tier 1 leverage ratio required under the OCC Operating Agreement and $291.2 million in excess capital relative to our longer-term target of 8%. As of December 31, 2011, we had cash and securities equal to 23.3% of total assets, representing $548.9 million of excess liquidity in excess of our target of 15%. As of December 31, 2011, Capital Bank, N.A. had a 10.4% Tier 1 leverage ratio, a 15.8% Tier 1 risk-based ratio and a 16.7% total risk-based capital ratio.

78

At present, the OCC Operating Agreement requires Capital Bank, N.A. to maintain total capital equal to at least 12% of risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital equal to at least 11% of risk-weighted assets and a minimum leverage ratio of 10%. We expect to operate under this capital standard until we demonstrate that we have stabilized our acquired operations, improved our profitability and reduced legacy problem assets.

The minimum ratios along with the actual ratios for us and Capital Bank, N.A. as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are presented in the following tables.

Liquidity involves our ability to raise funds to support asset growth or reduce assets to meet deposit withdrawals and other borrowing needs, to maintain reserve requirements and to otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. To mitigate liquidity risk, our strategy is to fund asset growth primarily with low-cost customer deposits. We also operate under a liquidity policy and contingent liquidity plan that require us to monitor indicators of potential liquidity risk, utilize cash flow projection models to forecast liquidity needs, identify alternative back-up sources of liquidity and maintain a predetermined cushion of cash and liquid securities at 15% of total assets.

Our liquidity needs are met primarily by our cash position, growth in core deposits, cash flow from our amortizing investment and loan portfolios (including scheduled payments, prepayments, and maturities from portfolios of loans and investment securities) and reimbursements under the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. Our ability to borrow funds from non-deposit sources provides additional flexibility in meeting our liquidity needs. Short-term borrowings include federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and brokered deposits. We also utilize longer-term borrowings when management determines that the pricing and maturity options available through these sources create cost effective options for funding asset growth and satisfying capital needs. Our long-term borrowings include, structured repurchase agreements and subordinated notes underlying our trust preferred securities.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, cash and liquid securities totaled 23.2% and 23.3% of assets, respectively, providing us with excess liquidity relative to our planning target, and the ratio of wholesale to total funding was 6.5% and 11.6%, respectively, below our planning target. In addition to maintaining a stable core deposit base, we maintain adequate liquidity primarily through the use of investment securities, short term investments such as federal funds sold and unused borrowing capacity. We hold investments in FHLB stock for the purpose of maintaining credit lines with the FHLB. The credit availability is based on a percentage of the subsidiary bank’s total assets as reported in their most recent quarterly financial information submitted to the FHLB and subject to the pledging of sufficient collateral. At December 31, 2011, there were $206.5 million in advances outstanding with a carrying amount of $221.0 million and none were outstanding as of September 30, 2012. In addition, we had $25.2 million in letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, collateral available under our agreements with the FHLB provided for incremental borrowing availability of up to approximately $291.7 million and$106.6 million, respectively.

We believe that we have adequate funding sources through unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB, unpledged investment securities, cash on hand and on deposit in other financial institutions, loan principal repayment and potential asset maturities and sales to meet our foreseeable liquidity requirements and contractual obligations.

The following table reflects the average daily outstanding, year-end outstanding, maximum month-end outstanding and the weighted average rates paid for each of the categories of short-term borrowings and short-term and long-term FHLB advances:

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our holding company had cash of approximately $234.5 million and $142.0 million, respectively. This cash is available for providing capital support to our subsidiary banks and for other general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions.

We calculate tangible book value, which is a non-GAAP measure but which we believe is helpful to investors in understanding our business. Tangible book value is equal to book value less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net of related deferred tax liabilities. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of tangible book value to book value, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk Management

Interest rate risk management is carried out through our Asset Liability Committee, which consists of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Treasurer, business unit heads and certain other officers. To manage interest rate risk, our Board of Directors has established quantitative and qualitative guidelines with respect to our net interest income exposure and how interest rate shocks affect our financial performance. Consistent with industry practice, we measure interest rate risk by utilizing the concept of economic value of equity, which is the intrinsic value of assets, less the intrinsic value of liabilities. Economic value of equity does not take into account management intervention and assumes the new rate environment is constant and the change is instantaneous. Further, economic value of equity only evaluates risk to the current balance sheet. Therefore, in addition to this measurement, we also evaluate and consider the impact of interest rate shocks on other business factors, such as forecasted net interest income for subsequent years.

Management continually reviews and refines its interest rate risk management process in response to the changing economic climate. Currently, our model projects minus 300, minus 200, minus 100, 0, plus 100, plus 200 and plus 300 basis point changes to evaluate our interest rate sensitivity and to determine whether specific action is needed to improve the current structure, either through economic hedges and matching strategies or by utilizing derivative instruments. In the current interest rate environment, management believes the minus 200 and minus 300 basis point scenarios are highly unlikely.

Based upon the current interest rate environment, as of September 30, 2012, our sensitivity to interest rate risk was as follows:

(Dollars in millions)	Next 12 Months Net Interest Income
Interest Rate Change in Basis Points							Economic Value of Equity
	$ Change			% Change			$ Change			% Change
300	$	27.2			12.25	%	$	112.3			8.93	%
200		17.9			8.07	%		85.1			6.77	%
100		8.9			4.01	%		49.4			3.93	%
—		—			0.00	%		—			0.00	%
-100		(5.8	)		(2.62	)%		(55.7	)		(4.43	)%
-200		(5.6	)		(2.51	)%		(77.9	)		(6.19	)%
-300		(5.6	)		(2.51	)%		(69.9	)		(5.56	)%

We used many assumptions to calculate the impact of changes in interest rates on our portfolio, and actual results may not be similar to projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. Actual results may also differ due to our actions, if any, in response to the changing rates.

In the event the model indicates an unacceptable level of risk, we may take a number of actions to reduce this risk, including the sale of a portion of our available for sale investment portfolio or the use of risk management strategies such as interest rate swaps and caps. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the limits and policies established by management.

Inflation Risk Management

Inflation has an important impact on the growth of total assets in the banking industry and creates a need to increase equity capital to higher than normal levels in order to maintain an appropriate equity-to-assets ratio. We cope with the effects of inflation by managing our interest rate sensitivity position through our asset/liability management program, and by periodically adjusting our pricing of services and banking products to take into consideration current costs.
