Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Significant Accounting Policies and Interim Reporting

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Capital Bank Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Capital Bank (the "Bank"), Capital Bank Investment Services
("CBIS"), and Capital Bank Statutory Trust I (the "Trust"), an issuer of the
Company's trust preferred securities. The interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. They do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements and therefore should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying
footnotes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2002. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the
periods presented have been included and all significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations
for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
2003.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the Company's
audited consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to
Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2002.

2. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes to the Company's
equity, with the exception of transactions with shareholders ("other
comprehensive income"). The Company's only components of other comprehensive
income relate to unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale,
net of the applicable income tax effect. The Company's comprehensive income and
information concerning the Company's other comprehensive income items for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 are as shown in the
Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 (unaudited).

3. Earnings Per Share

The Company is required to report both basic and diluted earnings per share
("EPS"). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the conversion, exercise or
issuance of all potential common stock instruments, such as stock options,
unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. For the
Company, EPS is adjusted for outstanding stock options using the Treasury Stock
method in order to compute diluted EPS. The following tables provide a
computation and reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

</TABLE>

Options to purchase 704,000 shares of common stock were used in the diluted
calculation. An aggregate of approximately 22,000 options were not included in
the diluted calculation because the option price exceeded the average fair
market value of the associated common shares of stock.

On December 31, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB" or the
"Board") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148
("FAS 148"), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure,
which amends SFAS Statement No. 123 ("FAS 123"), Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. FAS 148 allows for three methods of transition for those companies
that adopt FAS 123's provisions for fair value recognition. Two new transition
alternatives are the Modified Prospective Approach and Limited Retrospective
Approach. Under FAS 148, the prospective transition method in FAS 123 resulting
in the "ramp-up" effect will not be available for enterprises that elect to
initially apply the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003. In addition, the
provisions of FAS 148 require that the accumulated liability or equity balances
accrued under APB Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, be reversed through additional paid-in-capital as of the beginning of
the period that FAS 123 is adopted if those liabilities or contra-equity
balances would not have been recognized under FAS 123 (e.g., variable stock
option awards under APB 25). Additionally, companies are required to disclose
for each period for which an income statement is presented an accounting policy
footnote that includes (i) the method of accounting for stock options; (ii)
total stock compensation cost that is recognized in the income statement and
would have been recognized had FAS 123 been adopted for recognition purposes as
of its effective date; and (iii) pro forma net income and earnings per share
(where applicable) that would have been reported had FAS 123 been adopted for
recognition purposes as of its effective date.

These disclosures are required to be made in annual financial statements and in
quarterly information provided to shareholders without regard to whether the
entity has adopted FAS 123


                                      -8-
<PAGE>

for recognition purposes. The Company implemented the disclosure provisions of
FAS 148 beginning with its December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements.

The Company did not grant any options to purchase its shares of common stock
during the first six months of 2003. For the three and six month period ended
June 30, 2003, the following table summarizes the net income and stock-based
compensation expense, as reported, compared to pro forma amounts had the fair
value method been applied:

4. New Pronouncements

During the first half of 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission
promulgated several rules to implement certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002. These rules include conditions for using financial measures that
exclude information that would be required under generally accepted accounting
principles (so-called "non-GAAP financial measures"). Furthermore, new rules
have been issued pertaining to an audit committee and its need for a financial
expert and code of ethics for senior management.


                                      -9-
<PAGE>

Also, new rules were issued defining audit committee responsibility for external
auditor retention and determination of external auditor independence. Additional
rules have been promulgated with respect to management's certification of the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls. Management
anticipates additional costs to implement the various provisions of this law;
however, it is difficult to determine the full impact of implementation until
such time as all rules have been promulgated and necessary changes, if any, have
been made to the Company's policies and procedures.

In May 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150
"Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity". This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer
classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of
both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial
instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some
circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity.
Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current
definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of
Financial Statements. The remaining provisions of this Statement are consistent
with the Board's proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain
obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity
shares, depending on the nature of the relationship established between the
holder and the issuer. While the Board still plans to revise that definition
through an amendment to Concepts Statement 6, the Board decided to defer issuing
that amendment until it has concluded its deliberations on the next phase of
this project. That next phase will deal with certain compound financial
instruments including puttable shares, convertible bonds, and dual-indexed
financial instruments. This Statement is effective for financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for
mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. It is to be
implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting
principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the
Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption.
Restatement is not permitted. Management does not anticipate the implementation
of this statement to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position or consolidated results of operations.

5. Trust Preferred Securities

In June 2003, the Company formed the Trust, which issued 10,000 of its Floating
Rate Capital Securities (the "trust preferred securities"), with a liquidation
amount of $1,000 per capital security, in a pooled offering of trust preferred
securities. The Trust also sold its common securities to the Company for an
aggregate of $310,000, resulting in total proceeds from the offering equal to
$10,310,000. The Trust then used these proceeds to purchase $10,310,000 in
principal amount of the Company's Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable
Interest Debentures (the "Debentures"). Following payment by the Company of a
placement fee and other expenses of the offering, the Company's net proceeds
from the offering equaled $10 million.

The trust preferred securities have a 30 year maturity and are redeemable after
5 years with certain exceptions. Prior to the redemption date, the trust


                                      -10-
<PAGE>

preferred securities may be redeemed at the option of the Company after the
occurrence of certain events, including without limitation events that would
have a negative tax effect on the Company or the Trust, would cause the trust
preferred securities to no longer qualify as Tier 1 capital, or would result in
the Trust being treated as an investment company. The Trust's ability to pay
amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon the
Company making payment on the Debentures. The Company's obligation under the
Debentures constitutes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the
Trust's obligations under the trust preferred securities.

The Debentures, which are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all
present and future senior indebtedness and certain other financial obligations
of the Company, are the sole assets of the Trust and the Company's payment under
the Debentures is the sole source of revenue for the Trust.

Dividends to the holders of the trust preferred securities are included in the
Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as interest expense. The
trust preferred securities are presented as a separate category of long-term
debt on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition entitled
"Trust Preferred Securities." The trust preferred securities are not included as
a component of shareholders' equity in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Financial Condition. For regulatory purposes, the $10 million total of trust
preferred securities qualifies as Tier 1 capital in accordance with regulatory
reporting requirements.

The Company used approximately $1.9 million of the proceeds from the issuance of
the Debentures to repurchase 127,500 shares of the Company's common stock during
the three months ended June 30, 2003. The Company plans to use approximately
$1.1 million of the remaining proceeds to repurchase additional shares of its
common stock and the remainder to support additional earning asset growth.

Overview

Capital Bank Corporation (the "Company") is a financial holding company
incorporated under the laws of the state of North Carolina on August 10, 1998.
The Company's primary function is to serve as the holding company for its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Capital Bank (the "Bank"), Capital Bank Investment
Services, Inc. ("CBIS") and Capital Bank Statutory Trust I (the "Trust"). The
Bank was incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on May 30,
1997, and commenced operations as a state-chartered banking corporation on June
20, 1997. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System and has no
subsidiaries. CBIS was incorporated under the laws of the State of North
Carolina on January 3, 2001 and commenced operations as a full service
investment company on March 1, 2001. The Trust was formed on June 26, 2003 for
the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities to provide additional Tier I
capital for the Company.

Subsequent to June 30, 2003, management initiated an investigation into one
significant commercial loan relationship inherited by the Company in its
acquisition of High Street Corporation, consisting of three commercial loans to
one entity in an aggregate amount of approximately $2.5 million. This
investigation was initiated as a result of a review of the impairment of this
relationship in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan"
("SFAS 114") which requires that loans deemed to be impaired be measured using
one of several methods described in SFAS 114 and the carrying value of those
loans be adjusted to the lower of the carrying value or the measured value
either through a specific valuation allowance or a direct charge off of the
applicable amount. The investigation revealed that attempts to obtain
significant additional collateral from the borrower and guarantors have failed
to date and management has been unable to identify a likely source of
repayment. As a result, management concluded that each of the three commercial
loans should be charged off during the three month period ended June 30, 2003.

Given that the commercial loans in question are being charged off during the
three month period ended June 30, 2003, the Company's financial statements for
the three month period ended June 30, 2003, previously disclosed in a press
release issued on July 17, 2003 (which press release was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2003 under Item 12 of Current
Report on Form 8-K "Results of Operations and Financial Condition"), have been
revised to reflect a total commercial loan charge off of approximately $2.5
million. The general effect of these charge offs will be to reduce the Company's
reported results for the three month period ended June 30, 2003. The after tax
impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the three
month period ended June 30, 2003 is approximately $1.3 million.

In the Company's previously issued second quarter 2003 financial statements
(attached to the July 17 press release and July 23 Current Report on Form 8-K),
the $2.5 million loan amount associated with this relationship was included in
the balance in the loan category on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Financial Condition. Of that balance, $1.9 million was classified as a
nonperforming loan.

The Company's revised financial statements, and notes thereto, included herein
reflect the upward


                                      -12-
<PAGE>

adjustment of loan charge offs in the amount of $2.5 million for the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, as well as the upward
adjustment to the Company's provision for loan losses in the amount of $2.1
million during the same periods. In addition, the Company's net income and
income tax expense have been decreased in the amounts of $1.3 million and
$827,000, respectively, to account for this significant commercial loan charge
off during the three month period ended June 30, 2003.

After the revisions made to the financial statements included herein, the
Company continues to be in well-capitalized as defined by applicable regulatory
standards. In addition, management continues to believe that the current level
of shareholders' equity provides adequate capital to support the Company's
growth for at least the next 12 months and to maintain a well-capitalized
position.

See "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," "Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for additional information
regarding this significant commercial loan loss and its effect on the Company's
financial performance for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003.

As of June 30, 2003, the Company had assets of approximately $908.7 million,
gross loans outstanding of approximately $645.5 million and deposits of

Company to purchase 127,500 shares of Company common stock. The Company's
obligation under the Debentures constitutes a full and unconditional guarantee
by the Company of the Trust's obligations under the trust preferred securities.
The Trust has no operations other than those that are incidental to the issuance
of the trust preferred securities. See Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 5 -
Trust Preferred Securities.

Financial Condition

Total consolidated assets of the Company at June 30, 2003 were $908.7 million
compared to $841.0 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $67.7 million,
or 8%. This increase was primarily due to normal internal growth. On June 30,
2003, loans, including loans held for sale of $20.5 million, were $645.5
million, up $44.9 million, or 7%, compared to December 31, 2002. At June 30,
2003, investment securities were $161.9 million and federal funds sold were
$22.2 million, up $6.6 million and $3.5 million, respectively, from December 31,
2002.

Other assets at June 30, 2003 were $12.7 million compared to $6.0 million at
December 31, 2002, an increase of $6.7 million, or 112%. This increase is
primarily attributable to the purchase by the Company of $6.0 million of Bank
Owned Life Insurance ("BOLI"). This BOLI was purchased as an additional
investment for the Company.

Earning assets represented 93.04% of total assets as of June 30, 2003. The
allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2003 was $9.5 million and represented
approximately 1.46% of total loans. Management believes that the amount of the
allowance is adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the current loan
portfolio.

Deposits as of June 30, 2003 were $684.2 million, an increase of $39.3 million
or 6% from December 31, 2002, primarily as a result of internal growth. During
the first six months of this year, the Company experienced a shift of
approximately $12.2 million from money markets and interest checking into time
deposits. This movement was largely attributable to a decrease in money market
rates offered by the Company, primarily as a result of a promotion started in
2002 that expired during the first quarter. At June 30, 2003, certificates of
deposit represented 60.4%


                                      -14-
<PAGE>

of total deposits compared to 57.4% at December 31, 2002. During the six month
period ended June 30, 2003, certificates of deposit increased to $413.2 million,
an increase of $42.7 million, or 12% from $370.4 million at December 31, 2002.
At the same time, non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts increased to
$59.0 million at June 30, 2003, an increase of $8.8 million, or 17%, from $50.2
million at December 31, 2002. Savings, interest bearing demand deposit, and
money market accounts decreased to $212.0 million at June 30, 2003, a decrease
of $12.2 million, or 5%, from $224.2 million at December 31, 2002. Borrowings
increased to $114.7 million, or 17%, at June 30, 2003 from $97.9 million as of
December 31, 2002. Additional borrowings were used to fund strong loan growth.

Total consolidated shareholders' equity was $75.1 million as of June 30, 2003, a
decrease of $327,000 from December 31, 2002. The decrease can be primarily
attributed to the repurchase of approximately 130,127 shares of common stock,
which decreased overall shareholders' equity by $1.9 million. This decrease was
offset by net income of $1.6 million, minus dividends paid during the first and
second quarters.

Results of Operations

Three month period ended June 30, 2003

For the three month period ended June 30, 2003, the Company reported net income
of $285,000, or $.04 per diluted share, compared to $1.2 million, or $.21 per
diluted share, for the same three month period ended June 30, 2002. The decrease
of $932,000, or -77%, is primarily the result of one significant commercial loan
relationship originated by the former High Street Bank that was charged off
during the three month period ended June 30, 2003. As described above, this
relationship, comprised of three commercial loans to one entity, totaled
approximately $2.5 million and resulted in an after tax impact on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2003 of approximately $1.3 million. The results for the three month period
ended June 30, 2002 do not include the relative impact of High Street
Corporation, which the Company acquired on December 1, 2002.

Net interest income rose 16%, or $833,000, from the three month period ended
June 30, 2002, from $5.1 million to $6.0 million, despite a 50 basis point drop
in the prime rate in November 2002 which negatively impacted the yield on loans.
The rise in net interest income is primarily the result of a $243.9 million
increase in earning assets due to internal growth as well as additional earning
assets added as a result of the acquisition of High Street Corporation. The net
interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis dropped 36 basis points
year-over-year to 3.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from 3.43% for
the same time period for 2002. The drop in the net interest margin can be
largely attributed to an asset-sensitive balance sheet in which the yield on the
Company's earning assets adjusted downward at a faster rate than the interest
paid on deposits.

For the three month period ended June 30, 2003, the provision for loan losses
was $2.7 million versus $705,000 for the same period in 2002, an increase of
$2.0 million. The increase in the provision during the quarter was necessary to
offset the large decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a result of the
significant commercial loan charge-off discussed above. At June 30, 2003, the
allowance for loan losses was 1.46% of total loans compared with 1.56% at
December 31, 2002.


                                      -15-
<PAGE>

Non-interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2003, was $2.7
million compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of
77%. The $1.2 million growth was primarily attributable to a substantial rise in
fee income recorded by the Bank's mortgage department as a result of the lower
interest rate environment and increased mortgage refinance business. Mortgage
origination fees jumped 200% to $1.3 million in the recent quarter from the
$433,000 earned in the three month period ended June 30, 2002. The Company also
recorded $191,000 in securities gains in the three month period ended June 30,
2003.

Fees for non-sufficient funds increased to $466,000 during the three months
ended June 30, 2003 from $380,000 during the same period in 2002, primarily as a
result of the growth in the number of deposit accounts on which these fees are
charged. Other categories that improved include service charges on checking
accounts, which jumped 39% from $147,000 in 2002 to $204,000 in the recent three
month period, and other non-interest income, which includes fees earned by the
government lending department and the Company's investment subsidiary. Other
non-interest income grew from $354,000 in the second quarter of 2002 to $505,000
in the same period of 2003.

Non-interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 was $5.8
million compared to $4.2 million for the corresponding period in 2002. Salaries
and employee benefits, representing the largest non-interest expense category,
increased to $3.2 million, for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 from
$2.2 million for the same period in 2002. This increase reflects an increase in
the number of personnel employed by the Company due to the acquisition of High
Street Corporation and management's intention to maintain adequate staffing
levels to meet customer needs and keep pace with expected growth. As of June 30,
2003, the Company had 230 full-time equivalent employees compared to 175 for the
same date in 2002.

Occupancy costs, the second largest component of non-interest expenses,
increased 40%, or $150,000, to $528,000 for the three month period ended June
30, 2003 from $378,000 for the same period in 2002. This increase is primarily
associated with the addition of three branches in connection with the
acquisition of High Street Corporation in December 2002.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $47,000 during the three month
period ended June 30, 2003 compared to an expense of $603,000 during the same
period in 2002. The benefit recorded during the period was primarily the result
of the tax effect of the significant commercial loan charge-off discussed above
and the related loan loss provision recorded during the period. At June 30,
2003, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $5.0 million resulting from
timing differences associated primarily with the deductibility of certain
expenses reflected on the financial statements.

Six month period ended June 30, 2003

For the six month period ended June 30, 2003, the Company reported net income of
$1.6 million, or $.23 per diluted share, compared to $2.2 million, or $.40 per
diluted share, for the first six months of 2002. Income during the 2003 period
was negatively impacted by the significant commercial loan charge-off made
during the second quarter as discussed above. The results for the first six
months of 2002 do not include the impact of High Street Corporation, which was
not acquired until December of 2002.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2003, net interest income grew 20%
year-over-year, from $9.9 million in 2002 to $11.9 million for the recent
period. During the same period, earning


                                      -16-
<PAGE>

assets grew $243.9 million, or 41%. Net interest income grew at a slower rate
due to the compression of the net interest margin over the last twelve months.
Declines in short term interest rates combined with an asset-sensitive balance
sheet also impacted the net interest margin for the first six months which
dropped from 3.28% during 2002 to 3.08% for 2003.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2003, the provision for loan losses was
$3.3 million versus $1.2 million for the first six months of 2002. The increase,
$2.1 million or 168%, was a direct result of the significant commercial loan
charge-off discussed above. Loans 90 days or more past due or in nonaccrual
status totaled $3.6 million. Non-performing loans, together with foreclosed
properties, totaled $4.3 million and represented 0.49% of total assets as of
June 30, 2003 compared to $4.0 million and 0.48% at December 31, 2002.

Non-interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2003, was $5.3
million compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2002, an increase of
71%. The $2.2 million growth was primarily attributable to a substantial rise in
fee income recorded by the Bank's mortgage department as a result of the lower
interest rate environment and increased mortgage refinance business. Mortgage
origination fees increased 130% to $2.5 million in the recent six month period
from the $1.1 million earned in the six months ended June 30, 2002. For the
first six months of 2003, the Company recorded $442,000 in securities gains
compared to $243,000 for the same period in 2002.

Deposit service charges and other fees increased from $1.1 million to $1.4
million during the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively.
This increase, $295,000 or 27%, is primarily due to the increase in volume of
the associated accounts as a result of internal growth and acquisitions. Other
non-interest income, including fees earned by the government lending department
and the Company's investment subsidiary, grew from $695,000 in the June quarter
of 2002 to $997,000 in the same period of 2003.

Non-interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 was $11.7
million compared to $8.2 million for the corresponding period in 2002. Salaries
and employee benefits, representing the largest non-interest expense category,
increased to $6.7 million, for the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 from
$4.4 million for the same period in 2002. This increase reflects an increase in
the number of personnel employed by the Company due to the acquisition of High
Street Corporation and management's intention to maintain adequate staffing
levels to meet customer needs and keep pace with expected growth as previously
discussed.

Occupancy costs, the second highest component of noninterest expenses, increased
to $1.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 from $746,000 for
the same period in 2002. This increase is primarily associated with the
integration of the four additional branches in connection with the acquisition
of First Community Corporation in early 2002 and three additional branches in
connection with the acquisition of High Street Corporation in December 2002.
Although management expects noninterest expense to increase on an absolute basis
as the Company continues its growth, these expenses as a percentage of asset
size and operating revenue are anticipated to decrease over time.

Income tax expense was $664,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2003
compared to $1.3 million during the same period in 2002.

Asset Quality

Determining the allowance for loan losses is based on a number of factors. At
the inception of each commercial loan, management assesses the relative risk of
the loan and assigns a corresponding risk grade. To insure that credit quality
is maintained after a loan is booked, the Bank has a loan review department and
a loan review process which includes an internal senior level Loan Review
Committee which meets each month. Account officers obtain updated financial
information on all large commercial loan relationships and review each
relationship with the Loan Review Committee on an annual basis. In addition, an
outside consulting firm performs a review of the Company's largest commercial
relationships as well as a sample of loans from the consumer, mortgage and
smaller commercial loan portfolios each year. The consulting firm also reviews
underwriting, documentation and risk grading analysis to determine if the
Company's risk assessments are accurate and that its loan review process is
appropriate.

The Company calculates the amount of allowance needed to cover the probable
losses in the portfolio by applying a reserve percentage to each risk grade.
Consumer loans and mortgages are not risk graded but a percentage is reserved
for these loans based on historical losses. In addition to this quantitative
analysis, a qualitative assessment of the general economic trends, portfolio
concentration and the trend of delinquencies are taken into consideration. The
allowance is adjusted accordingly.

Based on this allowance calculation and taking into consideration the
significant commercial loan charge-off occurring in the second quarter,
management charged operations in the amount of $2.7 million and $3.3 million,
respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 to provide
for probable losses related to uncollectible loans. Loan loss reserves were
1.46% and 1.47% of gross loans, respectively, as of June 30, 2003 and 2002. The
following table presents an analysis of changes in the allowance for loan losses
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

On June 30, 2003, nonperforming assets were $4.3 million, a $426,000 decrease
from the same date in 2002. Nonperforming assets, which includes nonperforming
loans and foreclosed property, decreased on both an absolute basis and as a
percent of total assets. Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets
decreased to .48% as of June 30, 2003 from .74% as of June 30, 2002.

Foreclosed property increased to $745,000 at June 30, 2003 from $669,000 at June
30, 2002. The Company is actively marketing all of its foreclosed property. All
nonperforming assets, including nonperforming loans and foreclosed assets, are
recorded at the lower of cost or market. The following table presents an
analysis of nonperforming assets as of June 30, 2003 and 2002:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's liquidity management involves planning to meet the Company's
anticipated funding needs at a reasonable cost. Liquidity management is guided
by policies formulated by the Company's senior management and the
Asset/Liability Management Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The
Company had $61.5 million in its most liquid assets, cash and cash equivalents,
as of June 30, 2003. The Company's principal sources of funds are loan
repayments, deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and capital. Core
deposits (total deposits less certificates of deposits in the amount of $100,000
or more), one of the most stable sources of liquidity, together with equity
capital, funded 69.2% of total assets at June 30, 2003. In addition, the Company
has the ability to take advantage of various other funding programs available
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.

During the second quarter, the Trust issued 10,000 trust preferred securities
with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per capital security in a pooled offering of
trust preferred securities. The Company expects to use approximately $3.0
million of the proceeds to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock, with
the remaining $7.0 million to be used as additional capital to fund earning
asset growth. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had used approximately $1.9
million to repurchase 127,500 shares of the Company's common stock. In addition,
in early July 2003, the Company repurchased an additional 50,000 shares using
another $750,000 of the proceeds. See Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 5 -
Trust Preferred Securities.

Shareholders' equity was $75.1 million or $11.52 per share at June 30, 2003.
Management believes this level of shareholders' equity provides adequate capital
to support the Company's growth for at least the next 12 months and to maintain
a well-capitalized position. At June 30,


                                      -20-
<PAGE>

2003, the Company had a Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.63%, a total risk-based
capital ratio of 10.88% and a leverage ratio of 8.08%. These ratios exceed the
federal regulatory minimum requirements for a "well-capitalized" bank. Tangible
equity, which subtracts goodwill and other intangibles from shareholders' equity
but includes the trust preferred debt, was $68.9 million at June 30, 2003.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation can have a significant effect on the operating results of all
industries. However, management believes the inflationary factors are not as
critical to the banking industry as they are to other industries, due to the
high concentration of relatively short-duration monetary assets in the banking
industry. Inflation does, however, have some impact on the Company's growth,
earnings and total assets, and on its need to closely monitor capital levels.

Interest rates are significantly affected by inflation, but it is difficult to
assess the impact, since neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes in
the various inflation indices coincides with changes in interest rates.
Inflation does impact the economic value of longer-term interest-bearing assets
and liabilities, but the Company attempts to limit its long-term assets and
liabilities.

Risk Factors

You should consider the following material risk factors carefully before
deciding to invest in Capital Bank Corporation securities. If any of the events
described below occur, our business, financial condition, or results of
operations could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading
price of Capital Bank Corporation common stock may decline, in which case the
value of your investment may decline as well.

Our Results Are Impacted by the Economic Conditions of Our Principal Operating
Regions

Our operations are concentrated in Eastern and Piedmont North Carolina. As a
result of this geographic concentration, our results may correlate to the
economic conditions in these areas. A deterioration in economic conditions in
any of these market areas, particularly in the industries on which these
geographic areas depend, may adversely affect the quality of our loan portfolio
and the demand for our products and services, and accordingly, our results of
operations.

We Are Exposed to Risks in Connection with the Loans We Make

A significant source of risk for us arises from the possibility that losses will
be sustained because borrowers, guarantors and related parties may fail to
perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. We have underwriting and
credit monitoring procedures and credit policies, including the establishment
and review of the allowance for loan losses, that we believe are appropriate to
minimize this risk by assessing the likelihood of nonperformance, tracking loan
performance and diversifying our loan portfolio. Such policies and procedures,
however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could adversely affect our
results of operations.

We Compete With Larger Companies for Some of the Same Business

The banking and financial services business in our market areas continues to be
a competitive field and is becoming more competitive as a result of:

      o     Changes in regulations;

      o     Changes in technology and product delivery systems; and

      o     The accelerating pace of consolidation among financial services
            providers.


                                      -21-
<PAGE>

We may not be able to compete effectively in our markets, and our results of
operations could be adversely affected by the nature or pace of change in
competition. We compete for loans, deposits and customers with various bank and
nonbank financial services providers, many of which are larger in total assets
and capitalization, have greater access to capital markets and offer a broader
array of financial services.

Our Trading Volume Has Been Low Compared With Larger Banks

The trading volume in Capital Bank Corporation's common stock on the Nasdaq
National Market has been comparable to other similarly-sized banks.
Nevertheless, this trading is relatively low when compared with more seasoned
companies listed on the Nasdaq National Market or other consolidated reporting
systems or stock exchanges. Thus, the market in Capital Bank Corporation's
common stock may be limited in scope relative to other companies.

We Depend Heavily on Our Key Management Personnel

James A. Beck currently serves as Capital Bank Corporation's president and chief
executive officer. Capital Bank Corporation depends heavily on the services of
Mr. Beck, and a number of other key personnel. Even though Capital Bank
Corporation carries a $2 million key man life insurance policy on Mr. Beck, the
loss of his services or of other key personnel could have a material adverse
effect on Capital Bank Corporation's business, financial condition or results of
operations.

Capital Bank Corporation's success depends in part on its ability to retain key
executives and to attract and retain additional qualified management personnel
who have experience both in sophisticated banking matters and in operating a
small to mid-size bank. Competition for such personnel is strong in the banking
industry and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining the personnel
we require. We expect to effectively compete in this area by offering financial
packages that include incentive-based compensation and the opportunity to join
in the rewarding work of building a growing bank.

Technological Advances Impact Our Business

The banking industry is undergoing technological changes with frequent
introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to
improving customer services, the effective use of technology increases
efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Capital Bank
Corporation's future success will depend, in part, on our ability to address the
needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that
will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as to create additional
efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially
greater resources than we do to invest in technological improvements. We may not
be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or
successfully market such products and services to our customers.

Government Regulations May Prevent or Impair Our Ability to Pay Dividends,
Engage in Acquisitions or Operate in Other Ways

Current and future legislation and the policies established by federal and state
regulatory authorities will affect our operations. We are subject to supervision
and periodic examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the
North Carolina State Banking Commission. Banking regulations, designed primarily
for the protection of depositors, may limit our growth and the return to you,
our investors, by restricting certain of our activities, such as:


                                      -22-
<PAGE>

      o     The payment of dividends to our shareholders;

      o     Possible mergers with or acquisitions of or by other institutions;

      o     Our desired investments;

      o     Loans and interest rates on loans;

      o     Interest rates paid on our deposits;

      o     The possible expansion of our branch offices; and/or

      o     Our ability to provide securities or trust services.

We also are subject to capitalization guidelines set forth in federal
legislation, and could be subject to enforcement actions to the extent that we
are found by regulatory examiners to be undercapitalized. We cannot predict what
changes, if any, will be made to existing federal and state legislation and
regulations or the effect that such changes may have on our future business and
earnings prospects. The cost of compliance with regulatory requirements may
adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

There Are Potential Risks Associated With Future Acquisitions

We intend to continue to explore expanding a branch system through selective
acquisitions of existing banks or bank branches in the Research Triangle area
and other North Carolina markets. We cannot say with any certainty that we will
be able to consummate, or if consummated, successfully integrate, future
acquisitions, or that we will not incur disruptions or unexpected expenses in
integrating such acquisitions. In the ordinary course of business, we evaluate
potential acquisitions that would bolster our ability to cater to the small
business, individual and residential lending markets in North Carolina. In
attempting to make such acquisitions, we anticipate competing with other
financial institutions, many of which have greater financial and operational
resources. In addition, since the consideration for an acquired bank or branch
may involve cash, notes or the issuance of shares of common stock, existing
shareholders could experience dilution in the value of their shares of Capital
Bank Corporation common stock in connection with such acquisitions. Any given
acquisition, if and when consummated, may adversely affect our results of
operations or overall financial condition.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company has not experienced any material change in the risk of its portfolio
of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities from December 31,
2002 to June 30, 2003.

Item 4 Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness
of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer provide that, as of the end of the
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures are effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance
that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that
it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods required by the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. There have been no changes in the
Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(f)


                                      -23-
<PAGE>

and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.

condition.
