(“FNB United”) is a bank holding company whose wholly owned subsidiaries are CommunityONE Bank, National Association (“CommunityONE Bank”), formerly known as First National Bank and Trust Company prior to June 4, 2007, and Dover Mortgage Company (“Dover”). CommunityOne has two wholly owned subsidiaries, First National Investor Services, Inc. and Premier Investment Services, Inc. Through its subsidiaries, FNB United offers a complete line of consumer, mortgage and business banking services, including loan, deposit, cash management, investment management and trust services, to individual and business customers. CommunityOne has offices in Alamance, Alexander, Ashe, Catawba, Chatham, Gaston, Guilford, Iredell, Montgomery, Moore, Orange, Randolph, Richmond, Rowan, Scotland, Watauga and Wilkes counties in North Carolina. Dover Mortgage Company operates mortgage production offices in Charlotte, Carolina Beach, Goldsboro, Greenville, Lake Norman, Leland, Raleigh, Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, prepared without audit, include the accounts of FNB United and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Corporation”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

Certain amounts in the 2006 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

The organization and business of FNB United, accounting policies followed by the Corporation and other relevant information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Corporation’s 2006 annual report on Form 10-K. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with that annual report.

 

2. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include the balance sheet captions: cash and due from banks, interest-bearing bank balances and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

3. Merger Information

Integrity Financial Corporation

On April 28, 2006, the Corporation completed a merger for the acquisition of Integrity Financial Corporation (“Integrity”), which was headquartered in Hickory, North Carolina and was the holding company for First Gaston Bank of North Carolina, including its divisions Catawba Valley Bank and Northwestern Bank. At the date of the merger, First Gaston Bank operated seventeen offices and, based on estimated fair values, had approximately $728.7 million in total assets, $475.3 million in net loans and $563.3 million in deposits. On August 1, 2006, First Gaston Bank was merged into First National Bank and Trust Company (now known as CommunityONE Bank). The primary reasons for the merger were as follows:

 

   

To create a banking organization, approximately two-thirds larger in total assets than FNB United prior to the merger, that could offer an expanded array of services; including the ability to provide larger loans and professional wealth management services in a community banking setting;

 

   

To expand the footprint of the Corporation from ten central-North Carolina counties to seventeen counties with forty two community offices, stretching from the Central and Southern Piedmont to the Foothills and Mountains of Western North Carolina, including areas of the state which possessed faster income and population growth characteristics than many existing FNB United franchise areas; and

 

   

To create shareholder value based upon the opportunities set out above.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger, each share of Integrity common stock was converted into 0.8743 shares of FNB United common stock and $5.20 in cash. The aggregate purchase price was $127.2 million, consisting of $27.7 million in cash payments to Integrity shareholders, 4,654,504 shares of FNB United common stock valued at $94.8 million, outstanding Integrity stock options valued at $3.3 million and transaction costs of $1.4 million.

The merger transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Integrity were recorded based on estimated fair values as of April 28, 2006, with the estimate of goodwill being subject to possible adjustment during the one-year period from that date. The adjustments recorded during that one-year period resulted in a net $484,000 reduction in the amount initially recorded for goodwill. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Integrity since April 28, 2006.

 

4. Earnings per Share (EPS)

Basic net income per share, or basic EPS, is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the Corporation’s potential common stock and contingently issuable shares, which consist of dilutive stock options and restricted stock, were exercised. The numerator of the basic EPS computation is the same as the numerator of the diluted EPS computation for all periods presented. A reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 there were 363,221 and 304,760 shares, respectively, related to stock options and restricted stock that were antidilutive based on the methodology for determining their dilutive effect, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, there were 368,272 and 229,159 shares, respectively, related to stock options and restricted stock that were antidilutive. These common stock equivalents were omitted from the calculations of diluted EPS for their respective periods.

The Corporation does not expect to contribute any funds to its pension plan in 2007. The other postretirement benefit plans are unfunded plans; and consequently, there are no plan assets or cash contribution requirements other than for the direct payment of benefits.

 

9. Derivatives and Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 133”), as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative and hedging activities. It requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet, and measure those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those derivatives are reported in current earnings or other comprehensive income depending

on the purpose for which the derivative is held and whether the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting.

In connection with its asset/liability management objectives, the Corporation (in 2004) entered into an interest rate swap on a $7.0 million Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advance that converts the fixed

 

11


rate cash flow exposure on the FHLB advance to a variable rate cash flow. As structured, the pay-variable, receive-fixed swap is evaluated as being a fair value hedge with no ineffectiveness; and, consequently, the difference in cash flows in each period between the variable rate interest payments that the Corporation makes and the fixed rate interest payments received is currently reported in earnings.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the interest rate swap resulted in net increases of $36,000 and $30,000, respectively, in the interest expense that would otherwise have been reported for the FHLB advance, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the interest rate swap resulted in net increases of $73,000 and $51,000, respectively, in interest expense. The fair value of the swap at June 30, 2007 was recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as a liability in the amount of $0.2 million, offset by a valuation adjustment in the same amount to the FHLB advance.

The Corporation has also identified the following derivative instruments which were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007: commitments to originate fixed rated residential mortgage loans and forward sales commitments

Dover Mortgage Company originates certain fixed rate residential mortgage loans with the intention of selling these loans. Between the time that Dover enters into an interest rate lock or a commitment to originate a fixed rate residential mortgage loan with a potential borrower and the time the closed loan is sold, the Corporation is subject to variability in market prices related to these commitments. The Corporation believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of expected proceeds from the future sales of these loans by entering into forward sales commitments and commitments to deliver loans into a mortgage-backed security. The commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans and the forward sales commitments are freestanding derivative instruments. They do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment so their fair value adjustments are recorded through the income statement in income from mortgage loan sales. The commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans totaled $25.1 million at June 30, 2007, and the related forward sales commitments totaled $25.1 million. Loans held for sale by Dover Mortgage Company totaled $22.2 million at June 30, 2007 and the related forward sales commitments totaled $22.2 million.

CommunityONE Bank had loans held for sale of $4.9 million at June 30, 2007. Binding commitments of CommunityONE Bank for the origination of mortgage loans intended to be held for sale at June 30, 2007 were not material.

 

10. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, which is a change in accounting for income taxes. FIN 48 specifies how tax benefits for uncertain tax positions are to be recognized, measured, and derecognized in financial statements; requires certain disclosures of uncertain tax matters; specifies how reserves for uncertain tax positions should be classified on the balance sheet; and provides transition and interim period guidance, among other provisions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Corporation adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Corporation adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 155 had no material effect on financial position or results of operations.

 

12


The provisions of SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, were effective beginning January 1, 2007. The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 156 had no material effect on financial position or results of operations.

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

11. Business Segment Information

The Corporation is considered to have two principal business segments: the full-service subsidiary bank, CommunityONE Bank, and the mortgage banking subsidiary, Dover Mortgage Company. Dover originates, underwrites and closes loans for sale into the secondary market. Financial performance for each segment is detailed in the following tables. Included in the “Other” column are amounts for other corporate activities, including the interest expense recognized on trust preferred securities, and eliminations of intersegment transactions.

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

The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to assist in the understanding and evaluation of the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations of FNB United Corp. (“FNB United” or the “Parent Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, CommunityONE Bank, National Association (“CommunityONE Bank”), formerly known as First National Bank and Trust Company prior to June 4, 2007, and Dover Mortgage Company (“Dover”), collectively referred to as the “Corporation”. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Description of Operations

FNB United is a bank holding company with a full-service subsidiary bank, CommunityONE Bank, which offers a complete line of consumer, mortgage and business banking services, including loan, deposit, cash management, investment management and trust services, to individual and business customers.

Merger Acquisition of Integrity Financial Corporation in 2006

On April 28, 2006, the Corporation completed a merger for the acquisition of Integrity Financial Corporation (“Integrity”), which was headquartered in Hickory, North Carolina and was the holding company for First Gaston Bank of North Carolina, including its divisions Catawba Valley Bank and Northwestern Bank. At the date of the merger, First Gaston Bank operated seventeen offices and, based on estimated fair values, had approximately $728.7 million in total assets, $475.3 million in net loans and $563.3 million in deposits. On August 1, 2006, First Gaston Bank was merged into First National Bank and Trust Company (now known as CommunityONE Bank). The primary reasons for the merger were as follows:

 

   

To create a banking organization, approximately two-thirds larger in total assets than FNB United prior to the merger, that could offer an expanded array of services including the ability to provide larger loans and professional wealth management services in a community banking setting;

 

   

To expand the footprint of the company from ten central-North Carolina counties to seventeen counties with forty two community offices, stretching from the Central and Southern Piedmont to the Foothills and Mountains of Western North Carolina, including areas of the state which possessed faster income and population growth characteristics than many existing FNB United franchise areas; and

 

   

To create shareholder value based upon the opportunities set out above.

 

16


Pursuant to the terms of the merger, each share of Integrity common stock was converted into 0.8743 shares of FNB United common stock and $5.20 in cash. The aggregate purchase price was $127.2 million, consisting of $27.7 million in cash payments to Integrity shareholders, 4,654,504 shares of FNB United common stock valued at $94.8 million, outstanding Integrity stock options valued at $3.3 million and transaction costs of $1.4 million. The merger transaction has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Integrity were recorded based on estimated fair values as of April 28, 2006, with the estimate of goodwill being subject to possible adjustment during the one-year period from that date. The adjustments recorded during that one-year period resulted in a net $484,000 reduction in the amount initially recorded for goodwill. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Integrity since April 28, 2006.

Financial Summary

As noted above, Integrity was acquired through merger effective April 28, 2006 and was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Consequently, the quarter ended June 30, 2007 includes the results of operations for three months for the combined companies (FNB United and Integrity), while the quarter ended June 30, 2006 includes three months for FNB United and only two months for Integrity. Similarly, year-to-date June 30, 2007 includes six months of operations for the combined companies, while year-to-date June 30, 2006 includes six months for FNB United and only two months for Integrity. Concurrently, the calculation of earnings per share for all periods disclosed was impacted by the issuance of additional shares associated with the merger.

The Corporation earned $3.69 million in the second quarter of 2007, an 8.5% decrease from earnings of $4.03 million in the same period of 2006. The decrease in net income resulted from improved levels of net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by a higher provision for loan losses and higher noninterest expense. Quarterly basic earnings per share decreased from $.42 to $.33 and diluted earnings per share decreased from $.41 to $.33. On a year-to-date basis, earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $7.44 million, a 10.9% increase from earnings of $6.71 million in the same period of 2006. Net income was affected by the same factors on a comparative basis as noted for the quarterly results above. Year-to-date basic earnings per share decreased from $.84 to $.66 and diluted earnings per share decreased from $.83 to $.66.

Total assets were $1.86 billion at June 30, 2007, up 2.6% from both June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006. Gross loans of $1.38 billion at June 30, 2007 represented an increase of $90.5 million or 7.0% from $1.29 billion at June 30, 2006 and an increase of $57.0 million or 4.3% from $1.32 billion at December 31, 2006. Total deposits of $1.45 billion at June 30, 2007 represented an increase of $41.3 million or 2.9% from $1.40 billion at June 30, 2006 and an increase of $24.3 million or 1.7% from $1.42 billion at December 31, 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Corporation’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. Of these significant accounting policies, the Corporation considers its policy regarding the allowance for loan losses to be its most critical accounting policy, because it requires management’s most subjective and complex judgments. In addition, changes in economic conditions can have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses and therefore the provision for loan losses and results of operations. The Corporation has developed appropriate policies and procedures for assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, recognizing that this process requires a number of assumptions and estimates with respect to its loan portfolio. The Corporation’s assessments may be impacted in future periods by changes in economic conditions, the results of regulatory examinations, and the discovery of information with respect to borrowers that is not known to management at the time of the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. For additional discussion concerning the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses and related matters, see “Asset Quality”.

Earnings Performance

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loans and investments, and interest expense, principally on customer deposits. Changes in net interest income result from changes in interest rates and in the volume, or average dollar level, and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. An analysis is presented in Table 2 of the Corporation’s net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis and average balance sheet for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and also for the six months then ended.

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $16.1 million, an increase of $1.7 million or 11.8% from $14.4 million for the same quarter in 2006. The increase was primarily due to a $221 million increase in average loan balances associated with the Integrity acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $31.9 million, an increase of $7.4 million or 30.2% from $24.5 million for the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to a $371 million increase in average loan balances associated with the Integrity acquisition.

The net interest margin (taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets) compressed 18 basis points to 4.07 % for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 4.25% in the same period in 2006. The decline in the net interest margin was attributable to pressures associated with an inverted yield curve whereby short-term rates are higher than long-term rates. While the Corporation experienced a 43 basis points increase in the yield on earning assets, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 65 basis points. Growth in earning assets was funded by higher cost deposits and wholesale borrowings. The pattern was similar for the six months ended June 30, 2007 with the net interest margin decreasing 15 basis points to 4.11% compared to 4.26% in the same period of 2006 and with the yield on earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increasing 59 basis points and 78 basis points, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is a charge against earnings to provide an allowance or reserve for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of each period’s charge is affected by several considerations including management’s evaluation of various risk factors in determining the adequacy of the allowance (see “Asset Quality”), actual loan loss experience and loan portfolio growth. During the three month period ended June 30, 2007, management determined a charge to operations of $476,000 would bring the allowance for loan losses to a balance considered to be adequate to reflect the growth in loans and to absorb probable losses inherent in the portfolio. This amount compared to $405,000 for the second quarter of 2006. The increase in the provision was primarily attributable to growth in loans outstanding. Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $528,000 or .16% annualized of average loans, compared to $589,000 or .21% annualized of average loans for the same 2006 period.

 

21


For the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the provision for loan losses was $1,000,000 compared to $482,000 in the same period of 2006 The increase in the provision was attributable to loan growth and the level of net charge-offs. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $1,238,000, or .37% annualized of average loans, compared to $651,000, or .27% annualized of average loans for the same 2006 period.

Noninterest Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2007, total noninterest income was $5.4 million, an increase of $774,000 or 16.8% compared to the same period in 2006, due partially to the effects of the acquisition of Integrity on April 28, 2006. Service charge income on deposit accounts, the largest component of noninterest income, was $2.3 million, an increase of $180,000 or 8.6%. An increase in mortgages sold to the secondary market generated an additional $235,000 of income in the 2007 first quarter over the same period last year. Concurrently, trust and investment services income was up $99 thousand on increased assets under management and increased securities sales compared to the same period in 2006. In addition, other service charges, commissions and fees were up $72 thousand over the second quarter of 2006. Of that amount $65 thousand was attributable to the write up of mortgage servicing rights, which were previously written down by $250 thousand in December 2006.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, total noninterest income was $10.3 million, an increase of $2.2 million or 27.2% compared to the same period in 2006, due primarily to the acquisition of Integrity on April 28, 2006. In particular, reflecting the Integrity acquisition, service charge income on deposit accounts was up $813,000 or 23.1%. In other areas, income on mortgage loan sales increased $410,000, trust and investment services income was up $177,000 and the noninterest income category of other service charges, commissions and fees was up $159,000.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2007 was $15.3 million, a $3.1 million or a 25.0% increase compared to the second quarter of 2006. The second quarter of 2007 includes $368,000 of one-time costs associated with changing the name of First National Bank and Trust Company and all of its divisions to CommunityOne Bank. The major components of the increase were as follows: a $1.4 million increase in personnel expense, a $459,000 increase in net occupancy expense, a $113,000 increase in furniture and equipment expense and a $1.0 million increase in other expense which includes professional fees; advertising and marketing; stationery, printing and office supplies; communications and amortization of the core deposit premium intangible. All of these increases reflect the acquisition of Integrity on April 28, 2006.

For the first six months of 2007, noninterest expense, which was significantly impacted on a comparative basis by the Integrity acquisition, was $29.9 million, an $8.2 million or 37.9% increase compared to the same period in 2006. The major components of the increase were as follows: a $4.6 million increase in personnel expense, a $1.0 million increase in net occupancy expense, a $581,000 increase in furniture and equipment expense and a $2.0 million increase in other expense.

Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate decreased from 35.6% in the first six months of 2006 to 34.1% in the same period of 2007 due principally to lower levels of taxable income.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Investment Securities

At June 30, 2007, June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006, the investment securities portfolio totaled $238.6 million, $236.2 million and $171.8 million, respectively. The level of investment securities was significantly reduced in the 2006 third quarter by the sale of approximately $120 million of available-for-sale securities. The level of investment securities has subsequently been restored to the pre-sale level.

Since December 31, 2006, total investment securities have increased 38.9%, with most of this increase coming during the 2007 first quarter. During the second quarter of 2007, gross loans grew $40.0 million; while deposits declined $20.4 million. The investment securities portfolio represents 14.7% and 11.0% of earning assets at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

At June 30, 2007, securities available for sale were $200.1 million compared to $128.9 million at December 31, 2006. Purchases in the available-for-sale portfolio were comprised of bullet and one-time callable agency securities with final maturities inside three years and short-lived CMOs. Available-for-sale securities are accounted for at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded net of tax as a component of other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity, unless the unrealized losses are considered other-than-temporary.

Investment securities held to maturity totaled $38.4 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $42.9 million at December 31, 2006. This component of the investment securities portfolio continues to decline as securities mature and all new investment securities purchases are classified as available for sale.

Loans

The Corporation’s primary source of revenue and largest component of earning assets is the loan portfolio. Gross loans increased $90.5 million or 7.0% from June 30, 2006 and $57.0 million or 4.3% from December 31, 2006 to $1.38 billion at June 30, 2007.

On an annualized basis, loans have grown at an 8.6% rate in the first six months of 2007. Net loan production was $40.0 million for the second quarter of 2007. This growth was driven primarily by construction loans.

Asset Quality

Management considers the asset quality of CommunityONE Bank to be of primary importance. A formal loan review function, independent of loan origination, is used to identify and monitor problem loans. As part of the loan review function, a third party assessment group is employed to review the underwriting documentation and risk grading analysis.

Nonperforming assets

Nonperforming assets are comprised of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more and other real estate owned (OREO). Loans are placed in nonaccrual status when, in management’s opinion, the collection of all or a portion of interest becomes doubtful. Loans are returned to accrual status when the factors indicating doubtful collectibility cease to exist and the loan has performed in accordance with its terms for a demonstrated period of time. OREO represents real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof and is generally carried at fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

 

23


Nonperforming loans at June 30, 2007 were $11.6 million or .86% of loans held for investment compared to $18.0 million or 1.41% of loans held for investment at June 30, 2006 and $11.1 million or .86% of loans held for investment at December 31, 2006. Other real estate owned was $3.1 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $2.0 million at June 30, 2006 and $3.4 million at December 31, 2006.

Allowance for loan losses

In determining the allowance for loan losses and any resulting provision to be charged against earnings, particular emphasis is placed on the results of the loan review process. Consideration is also given to a review of individual loans, historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of collateral and economic conditions in CommunityONE Bank’s market area. For loans determined to be impaired, the allowance is based on discounted cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review CommunityONE Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require CommunityONE Bank to recognize changes to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. Loans are charged off when, in the opinion of management, they are deemed to be uncollectible. Recognized losses are charged against the allowance, and subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance.

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is measured on a quarterly basis against an allocation model that assigns reserves to various components of the loan portfolio in order to provide for probable inherent losses. Homogeneous pools of loans are segregated, and classifications of individual loans within certain of these pools are identified using risk grades derived from regulatory risk guidelines and additional internal parameters. Utilizing the trailing four-year historical loss experience of CommunityONE Bank (prior to the merger with Integrity) combined with recent loss experience with the acquired Integrity loan portfolio and the assessment of portfolio quality and diversification trends and economic factors, a range of appropriate reserves is calculated for each classification and pool of loans. Allocated to each pool is a reserve amount within the calculated range, as supported by the historical loss ratios. Additional reserves are estimated and assigned to the most adversely classified loans based upon an individual analysis of present-value repayment and/or liquidation projections of each loan. A portion of the total reserve may be unallocated to any specific segment of the loan portfolio, but will not exceed the upper limit of the total calculated reserve range when aggregated with allocated portions. The determination within the allowance model of allocated and unallocated components is not necessarily indicative of future losses or allocations. The entire balance of the allowance for loan losses is available to absorb losses in any segment of the loan portfolio.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses follow:

     1.16 %     1.23 %     1.16 %     1.23 %

The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of loans held for investment, amounted to 1.16% at June 30, 2007, 1.23% at June 30, 2006 and 1.22% at December 31, 2006. The allowance percentage has remained within a range of 1.16% to 1.23% during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2007 based on the results from application of the allowance model that assigns reserves to various components of the loan portfolio in order to provide for probable inherent losses.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses of $15.7 million at June 30, 2007 is adequate to cover probable losses in the loan portfolio; however, assessing the adequacy of the allowance is a process that requires continuous evaluation and considerable judgment.

Management’s judgments are based on numerous assumptions about current events which it believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not be valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the current allowance or that future increases in the allowance will not be required. No assurance can be given that management’s ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of changing economic conditions and other relevant circumstances will not require significant future additions to the allowance, thus adversely affecting the operating results of the Corporation.

Deposits

The level and mix of deposits is affected by various factors, including general economic conditions, the particular circumstances of local markets and the specific deposit strategies employed. In general, broad interest rate declines tend to encourage customers to consider alternative investments such as mutual funds and tax-deferred annuity products, while interest rate increases tend to have the opposite effect.

 

25


Total deposits increased $41.3 million or 2.9% from June 30, 2006 and $24.3 million or 1.7% from December 31, 2006 to $1.45 billion at June 30, 2007.

On an annualized basis, deposits have grown at a 3.4% rate in the first six months of 2007. During the first six months of 2007, the increases by deposit category were as follows: $4.4 million for noninterest-bearing demand deposits, $24.9 million for money market and $4.8 million for time deposits. Interest-bearing demand deposits and savings declined $7.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Other Borrowed Funds

Other borrowed funds consist of subordinated debentures related to trust preferred securities and a line of credit for Dover Mortgage Company. At June 30, 2007, other borrowed funds totaled $83.9 million, an increase of $4.9 million from June 30, 2006 and $5.9 million from December 31, 2006. These increases are associated with draws on the line of credit by Dover to fund mortgage originations.

Liquidity

Liquidity for CommunityONE Bank refers to its continuing ability to meet deposit withdrawals, fund loan commitments and capital expenditures, maintain reserve requirements, pay operating expenses and provide funds to the Parent Company for payment of dividends, debt service and other operational requirements. Liquidity is immediately available from five major sources: (a) cash on hand and on deposit at other banks, (b) the outstanding balance of federal funds sold, (c) lines for the purchase of federal funds from other banks, (d) the line of credit established at the Federal Home Loan Bank, less charges against that line for existing advances and letters of credit used to secure public funds on deposit, and (e) the investment securities portfolio. All debt securities are of investment grade quality and, if the need arises, can be liquidated on the open market or pledged as collateral for short-term borrowing.

Consistent with the general approach to liquidity, loans and other assets of CommunityONE Bank are based primarily on a core of local deposits and CommunityONE Bank’s capital position. To date, the steady increase in deposits, retail repurchase agreements and capital, supplemented by Federal Home Loan Bank advances and a modest amount of brokered deposits, has been adequate to fund loan demand in CommunityONE Bank’s market area, while maintaining the desired level of immediate liquidity and a substantial investment securities portfolio available for both immediate and secondary liquidity purposes.

Liquidity for Dover Mortgage Company refers to its continuing ability to fund mortgage loan commitments, pay operating expenses and provide funds to the Parent Company for payment of dividends, debt service and other operational requirements. Liquidity is principally available from a line of credit with another financial institution. During the third quarter 2007, it is anticipated that Dover, which is now a direct subsidiary of FNB United, will instead become a direct subsidiary of CommunityONE Bank and that a line of credit will be provided by CommunityONE Bank to Dover to replace the existing line of credit.

Commitments, Contingencies and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business, various commitments are outstanding that are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Significant commitments at June 30, 2007 are discussed below.

Commitments by CommunityONE Bank to extend credit and undisbursed advances on customer lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. At June 30, 2007, total commitments to extend credit and undisbursed advances on customer lines of credit amounted to $404.2 million. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other

 

26


termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments expire without being fully drawn, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Corporation evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, upon extension of credit is based on the credit evaluation of the borrower.

CommunityONE Bank issues standby letters of credit whereby it guarantees the performance of a customer to a third party if a specified triggering event or condition occurs. The guarantees generally expire within one year and may be automatically renewed depending on the terms of the guarantee. All standby letters of credit provide for recourse against the customer on whose behalf the letter of credit was issued, and this recourse may be further secured by a pledge of assets. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments related to standby letters of credit was $16.7 million at June 30, 2007, $8.3 million at June 30, 2006 and $6.6 million at December 31, 2006.

Dover Mortgage Company originates certain fixed rate residential mortgage loans with the intention of selling these loans. Between the time that Dover enters into an interest rate lock or a commitment to originate a fixed rate residential mortgage loan with a potential borrower and the time the closed loan is sold, the Corporation is subject to variability in market prices related to these commitments. The Corporation believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of expected proceeds from the future sales of these loans by entering into forward sales commitments and commitments to deliver loans into a mortgage-backed security. The commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans and the forward sales commitments are freestanding derivative instruments. They do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment so their fair value adjustments are recorded through the income statement in income from mortgage loan sales. The commitments to originate fixed rate residential mortgage loans totaled $25.1 million at June 30, 2007, and the related forward sales commitments totaled $25.1 million. Loans held for sale by Dover Mortgage Company totaled $22.2 million at June 30, 2007, and the related forward sales commitments totaled $22.2 million.

CommunityOne Bank had loans held for sale of $4.9 million at June 30, 2007. Binding commitments of CommunityOne Bank for the origination of mortgage loans intended to be held for sale at June 30, 2007 were not material.

The Corporation does not have any special purpose entities or other similar forms of off-balance sheet financing.

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity

One of the primary objectives of asset/liability management is to maximize the net interest margin while minimizing the earnings risk associated with changes in interest rates. One method used to manage interest rate sensitivity is to measure, over various time periods, the interest rate sensitivity positions, or gaps; however, this method addresses only the magnitude of timing differences and does not address earnings or market value. Therefore, management uses an earnings simulation model to prepare, on a regular basis, earnings projections based on a range of interest rate scenarios in order to more accurately measure interest rate risk.

The Corporation’s balance sheet was asset-sensitive at June 30, 2007. An asset-sensitive position means that, for cumulative gap measurement periods of one year or less, there are more assets than liabilities subject to immediate repricing as market rates change. Because immediately rate sensitive assets exceed rate sensitive interest-bearing liabilities, the earnings position could improve in a rising rate environment and could deteriorate in a declining rate environment, depending on the correlation of rate changes in these two categories. Included in interest-bearing liabilities subject to rate changes within 90 days is a portion of the interest-bearing demand, savings and money market deposits. These types of deposits historically have not repriced coincidentally with or in the same proportion as general market indicators.

Capital Adequacy

Under guidelines established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, capital adequacy is currently measured for regulatory purposes by certain risk-based capital ratios, supplemented by a leverage capital ratio. The risk-based capital ratios are determined by expressing allowable capital amounts, defined in terms of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3, as a percentage of risk-weighted assets, which are computed by measuring the relative credit risk of both the asset categories on the balance sheet and various off-balance sheet exposures. Tier 1 capital consists primarily of common shareholders’ equity and qualifying amounts of perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities, net of goodwill and other disallowed intangible assets. Tier 2 capital, which is limited to the total of Tier 1 capital, includes allowable amounts of subordinated debt, mandatory convertible debt, preferred stock; trust preferred securities and the allowance for loan losses. Tier 3 capital, applicable only to financial institutions subject to certain market risk capital guidelines, is capital allocated to support the market risk related to a financial institution’s ongoing trading activities. At June 30, 2007, FNB United and CommunityONE Bank were not subject to the market risk capital guidelines and, accordingly, had no Tier 3 capital allocation. Total capital, for risk-based purposes, consists of the sum of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 capital. Under current requirements, the minimum total capital ratio is 8.00% and the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio is 4.00%. At June 30, 2007, FNB United and CommunityONE Bank had total capital ratios of 11.28% and 11.08%, respectively, and Tier 1 capital ratios of 8.90% and 10.01%.

The leverage capital ratio, which serves as a minimum capital standard, considers Tier 1 capital only and is expressed as a percentage of average total assets for the most recent quarter, after reduction of those assets for goodwill and other disallowed intangible assets at the measurement date. As currently required, the minimum leverage capital ratio is 4.00%. At June 30, 2007, FNB United and CommunityONE Bank had leverage capital ratios of 7.41% and 8.88%, respectively.

CommunityONE Bank is also required to comply with prompt corrective action provisions established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act. To be categorized as well-capitalized, a bank must have a minimum ratio for total capital of 10.00%, for Tier 1 capital of 6.00% and for leverage capital of 5.00%. As noted above, CommunityONE Bank met all of those ratio requirements at June 30, 2007 and, accordingly, is well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Accounting Pronouncement Matters

SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Corporation is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on the consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The fair value option permits companies to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Companies will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings after adoption. SFAS No. 159 requires additional disclosures related to the fair value measurements included in a company’s financial statements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted; however, the Corporation will adopt SFAS No. 159 effective January 1, 2008. The Corporation is evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on the consolidated financial statements.

The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus at its September 2006 meeting regarding EITF 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. The scope of EITF 06-4 is limited to the recognition of a liability and related compensation costs for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods. Therefore, this EITF would not apply to a split-dollar life insurance arrangement that provides a specified benefit to an employee that is limited to the employee’s active service period with an employer. This EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007, with earlier application permitted. The Corporation has not determined the impact of adopting EITF 06-4 on its consolidated financial statements.

The EITF reached a consensus at its March 2007 meeting regarding EITF 06-10, Accounting for Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agreements. EITF 06-10 provides guidance for determining a liability for the postretirement benefit obligation as well as recognition and measurement of the associated asset on the basis of the terms of the collateral assignment agreement. EITF 06-10 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Corporation has not determined the impact of adopting EITF 06-10 on its consolidated financial statements.

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

Non-GAAP Measures

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Corporation’s management uses these non-GAAP measures in their analysis of the Corporation’s performance. These non-GAAP measures exclude average goodwill and core deposit premiums from the calculations of return on average assets and return on average equity. Management believes presentations of financial measures excluding the impact of goodwill and core deposit premiums provide useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of the operating results of the Corporation’s core businesses. In addition, certain designated net

 

29


interest income amounts are presented on a taxable equivalent basis. Management believes that the presentation of net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis aids in the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Cautionary Statement for Purpose of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “plans”, “projects”, “goals”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “should”, or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon of comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, from time to time, the Corporation or its representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in, but are not limited to, various filings made by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of an authorized executive officer of the Corporation. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current views and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results. The Corporation wishes to caution the reader that factors, such as those listed below, in some cases have affected and could affect the Corporation’s actual results, causing actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statement. These factors include, without limitation: (i) expected cost savings from the merger described in the Overview may not materialize or may not fully materialize within the expected time frame, (ii) revenues following the merger may not meet expectations, (iii) costs or difficulties related to the integration of the businesses of FNB United and Integrity may be greater than anticipated, (iv) competitive pressure in the banking industry or in the Corporation’s markets may increase significantly, (v) changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins, (vi) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, may be less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, credit quality deterioration, (vii) changes may occur in banking legislation and regulation, (viii) changes may occur in general business conditions, (ix) changes may occur in the securities markets, and (x) any new capital accords adopted by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and implemented by U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies will affect the Corporation’s future capital requirements. Readers should also consider information on risks and uncertainties contained in the discussions of competition, supervision and regulation, and effect of governmental policies contained in the Corporation’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from adverse changes in market price and interest rates. This risk of loss can be reflected in diminished current market values and/or reduced potential net interest income in future periods.

The Corporation’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit-taking activities. The structure of the Corporation’s loan and deposit portfolios is such that a significant decline in interest rates may adversely impact net market values and net interest income. The Corporation does not maintain a trading account nor is the Corporation subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk. Interest rate risk is monitored as part of the Corporation’s asset/liability management function, which is discussed above in Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity”.

Management does not believe there has been any significant change in the overall analysis of financial instruments considered market risk sensitive, as measured by the factors of contractual maturities, average interest rates and estimated fair values, since the analysis prepared and presented in conjunction with the Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2007, the end of the period covered by this report, FNB United carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including FNB United’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of FNB United’s disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures, FNB United and its management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and FNB United’s management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, subject to the matter discussed in the following paragraph, the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by FNB United in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Corporation’s management learned that FNB United did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as it did not have controls designed and in place for nonroutine transactions, such as the restructuring of the Corporation’s investment portfolio that occurred in the third quarter of 2006. Management is in the process of remediating its controls for nonroutine transactions. FNB United reviews its disclosure controls and procedures, which may include its internal controls over financial reporting, on an ongoing basis and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness.
