PART I



|ITEM 1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
|------- | -----------------------

General

MidCarolina Financial Corporation (the Company) was formed in 2002 to serve as a holding company for MidCarolina Bank (the Bank). The Company is
registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHCA), and the bank holding company laws of North Carolina. The
Companys office is located at 3101 South Church Street, Burlington, North Carolina 27216. The Companys principal source of income is earnings on loans and investments, including any dividends that are declared and paid by the Bank on its
capital stock.

The Bank is incorporated under the laws of North Carolina and began operations on August 14, 1997 as a North Carolina chartered
commercial bank. The Bank is engaged in general commercial banking primarily in Alamance and Guilford Counties, North Carolina, and operates under the banking laws of North Carolina and the rules and regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the FDIC).

As a North Carolina bank, the Bank is subject to examination and regulation by the FDIC and the Commissioner of Banks,
North Carolina Department of Commerce (the Commissioner). The Bank is further subject to certain regulations of the Federal Reserve governing reserve requirements to be maintained against deposits and other matters. The business and
regulation of the Bank are also subject to legislative changes from time to time. See SUPERVISION AND REGULATION.

The Banks primary
market area is Alamance County and Guilford County, North Carolina. The Banks main office is located in Burlington, North Carolina. The Bank also has one full-service branch in Burlington, NC, one full-service branch in Graham, North Carolina,
two full-service branches in Greensboro, North Carolina and one full-service branch in Mebane, North Carolina. The Bank has limited service offices in the Alamance Regional Medical Center and the Village of Brookwood Retirement Center, both of which
are located in Burlington. The Banks loans and deposits are primarily generated from the areas where its offices are located.

The Banks
primary sources of revenue are interest and fee income from its lending activities. These lending activities consist principally of originating commercial operating and working capital loans, residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit,
other consumer loans and loans secured by commercial real estate. The Banks current lending strategy is to establish market share throughout Alamance and Guilford Counties, with an emphasis in Burlington, Graham, Greensboro and Mebane. At
December 31, 2008, the largest amount the Bank had outstanding to any one borrower and its affiliates was approximately $6.8 million.

Interest and
dividend income from investment activities generally provide the second largest source of income to the Bank after interest on loans. During 2008, the Bank chose to manage its overall liquidity position by re-deploying more of its funds into shorter
duration risk adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities.

Deposits are the primary source of the Banks funds for lending and other investment
purposes. The Bank attracts both short-term and long-term deposits from the general public by offering a variety of accounts and rates. The Bank offers statement savings accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, money market demand
accounts, non-interest-bearing accounts and fixed interest rate certificates with varying maturities. The Bank also utilizes alternative sources of funds such as brokered certificates of deposit and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (the
FHLB) of Atlanta, Georgia.

The Banks savings deposits are obtained primarily from its primary market area. The Bank uses traditional
marketing methods to attract new customers and savings deposits including print media advertising and direct mailings. Deposit flows are greatly influenced by economic conditions, the general level of interest rates, competition and other factors.

---

The Bank is the sole banking subsidiary of the Company. Two trusts (MidCarolina I and MidCarolina Trust II) were formed
as subsidiaries of the Company to facilitate the infusion of Trust Preferred Securities as a form of non-dilutive equity into the Company. The trusts are not consolidated in these financial statements. The majority of the Companys operations
are located at the Bank level. Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, results of operations will be discussed on a consolidated basis by referring to the Banks operations, unless a specific reference is made to the Company and its
operating results apart from the Bank.

The Company has continued to experience steady growth since its formation in 1997. The Banks assets totaled
$540.8 million, $467.2 million and $420.9 million as of December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The Company had net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008 of $3.3 million, or $0.66 per diluted
share compared with $4.5 million, or $0.92 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2007. When adjusted for an after-tax one time adjustment of $579,000 related to the reversal of accrued benefits for a former executive officer,
diluted earnings per common share for 2007 were $0.80. The per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 5-for-4 stock split effective January 19, 2007.

At December 31, 2008, the Company had total consolidated assets of $540.8 million, net loans of $429.0 million, deposits of $467.9 million, investment securities available-for-sale of $71.1 million and shareholders equity of
$37.2 million.

Subsidiaries

Other than the Bank, the
Company has two trust subsidiaries: MidCarolina I and MidCarolina Trust II. The Banks only subsidiary, MidCarolina Investments, Inc, was dormant during 2008. MidCarolina Investments formerly engaged in general securities brokerage and offered
insurance and other financial services through a contract arrangement with a third-party provider. The Bank continues to offer these services through a third-party provider.

Employees

At December 31, 2008, the Bank had 79 full-time equivalent employees.

Competition and Market Area

The Bank faces strong competition both
in attracting deposits and making real estate and other loans. Its most direct competition for deposits comes from commercial banks, savings institutions and credit unions located in its primary market area, including large financial institutions
that have greater financial and marketing resources available to them. At December 31, 2008, there were 14 depository institutions with 30 offices in Alamance County. The Bank had a deposit market share of 19.7% in Alamance County. The Bank
also faces additional significant competition for investors funds from short-term money market securities and other corporate and government securities. The ability of the Bank to attract and retain savings deposits depends on its ability to
generally provide a rate of return, liquidity and risk comparable to that offered by competing investment opportunities.

The Banks competition for
real estate loans is from savings institutions, credit unions, commercial banks, and mortgage banking companies. It competes for loans primarily through the interest rates and loan fees it charges and the efficiency and quality of services it
provides borrowers. Competition is increasing as a result of the reduction of restrictions on the interstate operations of financial institutions.

The
Banks primary market area is Alamance County. The population of Alamance County is 145,360 and the median household income is $41,502. Alamance County has a diverse economy with no concentration in any one specific industry. Major businesses
and industries in the area include LabCorp, a laboratory that provides specialized testing services for the medical industry, Alamance Health Services, Elon University, Honda Power Equipment Manufacturing and GKN Automotive, a manufacturer of
automobile drive shafts.

Supervision and Regulation

Bank holding companies and state chartered commercial banks are extensively regulated under both federal and state law. The following is a brief summary of certain statutes and rules and regulations that affect or will affect the Company
and the Bank. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statute and regulatory provisions referred to below and is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the statutes or regulations applicable to the business
of the Company and the Bank. Supervision, regulation and examination of the Company and the Bank by the regulatory agencies are intended primarily for the protection of depositors rather



4

than shareholders of the Company.

General.There
are a number of obligations and restrictions imposed on bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries by law and regulatory policy that are designed to minimize potential loss to the depositors of such depository institutions
and the FDIC insurance fund in the event the depository institution becomes in danger of default or in default. For example, to avoid receivership of an insured depository institution subsidiary, a bank holding company is required to guarantee the
compliance of any insured depository institution subsidiary that may become undercapitalized with the terms of any capital restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its appropriate federal banking agency up to the lesser of
(i) an amount equal to 5% of the banks total assets at the time the bank became undercapitalized or (ii) the amount which is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring the bank into compliance with all acceptable capital
standards as of the time the bank fails to comply with such capital restoration plan. The Company, as a registered bank holding company, is subject to the regulation of the Federal Reserve. Under a policy of the Federal Reserve with respect to bank
holding company operations, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so absent
such policy. The Federal Reserve under the BHCA also has the authority to require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or to relinquish control of a non-bank subsidiary (other than a non-bank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal
Reserves determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.

In addition, insured depository institutions under common control are required to reimburse the FDIC for any loss suffered by its deposit insurance fund as a result of the default of a commonly controlled insured
depository institution or for any assistance provided by the FDIC to a commonly controlled insured depository institution in danger of default. The FDIC may decline to enforce the cross-guarantee provisions if it determines that a waiver is in the
best interest of the deposit insurance fund. The FDICs claim for damages is superior to claims of stockholders of the insured depository institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and
holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of the commonly controlled insured depository institutions.

As a result of the Companys
ownership of the Bank, the Company is also registered under the bank holding company laws of North Carolina. Accordingly, the Company is also subject to regulation and supervision by the Commissioner.

Capital Adequacy Guidelines for Bank Holding Companies.The Federal Reserve has adopted capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies and banks that are
members of the Federal Reserve System and have consolidated assets of $150 million or more. Bank holding companies subject to the Federal Reserves capital adequacy guidelines are required to comply with the Federal Reserves risk-based
capital guidelines. Under these regulations, the minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8%. At least half of the total capital is required to be Tier I capital, principally consisting of common stockholders
equity, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, less certain goodwill items. The remainder (Tier II capital) may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt, certain
hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities, perpetual preferred stock and a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses. In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve has adopted a minimum Tier I capital
(leverage) ratio, under which a bank holding company must maintain a minimum level of Tier I capital to average total consolidated assets of at least 3% in the case of a bank holding company which has the highest regulatory examination rating and is
not contemplating significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are expected to maintain a Tier I capital (leverage) ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the stated minimum.

Capital Requirements for the Bank.The Bank, as a North Carolina commercial bank, is required to maintain a surplus account equal to 50% or more of its paid-in
capital stock. As a North Carolina chartered, FDIC-insured commercial bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve, the Bank is also subject to capital requirements imposed by the FDIC. Under the FDICs regulations, state nonmember banks
that (a) receive the highest rating during the examination process and (b) are not anticipating or experiencing any significant growth, are required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3% of total consolidated assets; all other banks
are required to maintain a minimum ratio of 1% or 2% above the stated minimum, with a minimum leverage ratio of not less than 4%. The Bank exceeded all applicable capital requirements as of December 31, 2008.

Dividend and Repurchase Limitations.The Company must obtain Federal Reserve approval prior to repurchasing common stock in excess of 10% of its net worth during
any twelve-month period unless the Company (i) both before and after the redemption satisfies capital requirements for a well capitalized bank holding company; (ii) received a one or two rating in its last examination; and
(iii) is not the subject of any unresolved supervisory issues.

---

Although the payment of dividends and the repurchase of stock by the Company are subject to certain requirements and
limitations of North Carolina corporate law, except as set forth in this section, neither the Commissioner nor the FDIC have promulgated any regulations specifically limiting the right of the Company to pay dividends and repurchase shares. However,
the ability of the Company to pay dividends or repurchase shares is largely dependent upon the Companys receipt of dividends from the Bank.

North
Carolina commercial banks, such as the Bank, are subject to legal limitations on the amounts of dividends they are permitted to pay. The Bank may pay dividends from undivided profits, which are determined by deducting and charging certain items
against actual profits, including any contributions to surplus required by North Carolina law. Also, an insured depository institution, such as the Bank, is prohibited from making capital distributions, including the payment of dividends, if, after
making such distribution, the institution would become undercapitalized (as such term is defined in the applicable law and regulations).

Deposit Insurance. The deposits of the Bank are currently insured to a maximum of $250,000 per depositor, subject to aggregation rules. The FDIC establishes rates for the payment of premiums by federally insured banks and thrifts for
deposit insurance. Since 1993, insured depository institutions like the Bank have paid for deposit insurance under a risk-based premium system. Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in
unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, or condition imposed by the FDIC. Due to its severe consequences, the FDIC historically uses
insurance termination as an enforcement action of last resort and the termination process itself involves substantial notice, a formal adjudicative hearing and federal appellate review. In instances where insurance deposit is terminated, the
financial institution is required to notify its depositors and insured funds on the date of termination that they will continue to be insured for at least six months and up to two years, at the discretion of the FDIC. After the date of termination,
no new deposits accepted by the financial institution will be federally insured.

Federal Deposit Insurance Reform. On February 8, 2006,
President Bush signed the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (FDIRA). The FDIC was required to adopt rules implementing the various provisions of FDIRA by November 5, 2006. Among other things, FDIRA changes the federal deposit
insurance system by:



| |  ̈ | raising the coverage level for retirement accounts to $250,000;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------

| |  ̈ | indexing deposit insurance coverage levels for inflation beginning in 2012;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  ̈ | prohibiting undercapitalized financial institutions from accepting employee benefit plan deposits;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  ̈ | merging the Bank Insurance Fund and Savings Association Insurance Fund into a new Deposit Insurance Fund (the DIF); and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  ̈ | providing credits to financial institutions that capitalized the FDIC prior to 1996 to offset future assessment premiums.
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FDIRA also authorizes the FDIC to revise the current risk-based assessment system, subject to notice and comment and caps the amount of the DIF at 1.50% of domestic
deposits. The FDIC must issue cash dividends, awarded on a historical basis, for the amount of the DIF over the 1.50% ratio. Additionally, if the DIF exceeds 1.35% of domestic deposits at year-end, the FDIC must issue cash dividends, awarded on a
historical basis, for half of the amount of the excess.

In prior years the Banks deposits were generally insured up to $100,000 per insured non-IRA
non-transaction account and up to $250,000 per IRA account by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act signed October 3, 2008, temporarily raised the basic limit of FDIC deposit insurance from $100,000 to
$250,000 with an expected return to the $100,000 limit on December 31, 2009.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the FDIC announced the creation of
the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TGLP), which seeks to strengthen confidence and encourage liquidity in the banking system. The TGLP has two primary components that are available to financial institutions on a voluntary basis. The first
component is a guarantee of newly issued senior unsecure debt issued on or before June 30, 2009 and would provide protection until June 30, 2012. Issuers electing to participate in this program would pay a 75 basis point fee for the
guarantee. The second component available under the program is unlimited deposit insurance for non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts which would include a 10 basis point premium in addition to the normal premiums paid for standard
deposit insurance. The Company elected to participate in the TLGPs enhanced deposit insurance program and the guarantee of unsecured debt. The enhancement to the deposit insurance protection and the demands on the



6



---

insurance fund due to current weakness in the banking system will result in significantly increased deposit insurance costs for all banks during 2009.

Deposit Insurance Assessments. The Bank is subject to insurance assessments imposed by the FDIC. Under current law, the insurance assessment to be
paid by members of the Deposit Insurance Fund, such as the Bank, is specified in a schedule required to be issued by the FDIC. Prior to January 1, 2007, FDIC assessments for deposit insurance ranged from 0 to 27 basis points per $100 of insured
deposits, depending on the institutions capital position and other supervisory factors. Effective January 1, 2009, the assessments range from 12 to 50 basis points per $100 of insured deposits. The assessment rate schedule can change from
time to time, at the discretion of the FDIC, subject to certain limits. Under the current system, premiums are charged quarterly.

On February 27,
2009 the FDIC voted to amend the restoration of the Deposit Insurance Fund. The Board took action by imposing a special assessment on insured institutions of 20 basis points, implementing changes to the risk- based assessment system, and increased
regular premium rates for 2009, which banks must pay on top of the special assessment. The 20 basis point special assessment on the industry will be as of June 30, 2009, payable September 30, 2009. As a result of the special assessment and
increased regular assessments the Company projects it will experience an increase in FDIC assessment by approximately $1.0 million from 2008 to 2009. The 20 basis point special assessment represents $940,000 of this increase.

On March 5, 2009, the FDIC Chairman announced that the FDIC intends to lower the special assessment from 20 basis points to 10 basis points. The approval of the
cutback is contingent on whether Congress clears legislation that would expand the FDICs line of credit with the Treasury to $100 billion. Legislation to increase the FDICs borrowing authority on a permanent basis is also expected to
advance to Congress, which should aid in reducing te burden on the industry. The assessment rates, including the special assessment, are subject to change at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the FDIC.

Federal Home Loan Bank System.The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility for member institutions. In December 2004, the FHLB of Atlanta
implemented a new capital plan. As a member of the FHLB of Atlanta and under the new capital plan, the Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB of Atlanta in an amount equal to at least 0.20% (or 20 basis points) of the Banks total
assets at the end of each calendar year, plus 4.5% of its outstanding advances (borrowings) from the FHLB under the new activity-based stock ownership requirement. On December 31, 2008, the Bank was in compliance with this requirement.

Community Reinvestment.Under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), as implemented by regulations of the FDIC, an insured institution
has a continuing and affirmative obligation consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The CRA does not establish specific lending requirements
or programs for financial institutions, nor does it limit an institutions discretion to develop, consistent with the CRA, the types of products and services that it believes are best suited to its particular community. The CRA requires the
federal banking regulators, in connection with their examinations of insured institutions, to assess the institutions records of meeting the credit needs of their communities, using the ratings of outstanding,
satisfactory, needs to improve, or substantial noncompliance, and to take those records into account in its evaluation of certain applications by those institutions. All institutions are required to make public
disclosure of their CRA performance ratings. The Bank received a satisfactory rating in its last CRA examination that was conducted during August 2007.

Prompt Corrective Action.The FDIC has broad powers to take corrective action to resolve the problems of insured depository institutions. The extent of these powers will depend upon whether the institution in question is well
capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. Under the regulations, an institution is considered well
capitalized if it has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater, (ii) a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, (iii) a leverage ratio of 5% or greater and (iv) is not subject to any order or written
directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. An adequately capitalized institution is defined as one that has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or greater, (ii) a Tier I risk-based
capital ratio of 4% or greater and (iii) a leverage ratio of 4% or greater (or 3% or greater in the case of an institution with the highest examination rating). An institution is considered (A) undercapitalized if it has
(i) a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%, (ii) a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of less than 4% or (iii) a leverage ratio of less than 4% (or 3% in the case of an institution with the highest examination rating);
(B) significantly undercapitalized if the institution has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, or (ii) a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of less than 3% or (iii) a leverage ratio of less than 3%; and
(C) critically undercapitalized if the institution has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets equal to or less than 2%. At December



7



---

31, 2008, the Bank had the requisite capital levels to qualify as well capitalized.

Changes in Control.The BHCA prohibits the Company from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the outstanding voting stock or substantially all
of the assets of any bank or savings bank or merging or consolidating with another bank holding company or savings bank holding company without prior approval of the Federal Reserve. Similarly, Federal Reserve approval (or, in certain cases,
non-disapproval) must be obtained prior to any person acquiring control of the Company. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if, among other things, a person acquires more than 25% of any class of voting stock of the Company or controls in any
manner the election of a majority of the directors of the Company. Control is presumed to exist if a person acquires more than 10% of any class of voting stock and the stock is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the Exchange Act) or the acquirer will be the largest shareholder after the acquisition.

Federal Securities Law.The
Company has registered its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. As a result of such registration, the proxy and tender offer rules, insider trading
reporting requirements, annual and periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable to the Company.

Transactions with
Affiliates.Under current federal law, depository institutions are subject to the restrictions contained in Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act with respect to loans to directors, executive officers and principal shareholders. Under
Section 22(h), loans to directors, executive officers and shareholders who own more than 10% of a depository institution (18% in the case of institutions located in an area with less than 30,000 in population) and certain affiliated entities of
any of the foregoing, may not exceed, together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated entities, the institutions loans-to-one-borrower limit (as discussed below). Section 22(h) also prohibits loans above amounts
prescribed by the appropriate federal banking agency to directors, executive officers and shareholders who own more than 10% of an institution and their respective affiliates, unless such loans are approved in advance by a majority of the board of
directors of the institution. Any interested director may not participate in the voting. The FDIC has prescribed the loan amount (which includes all other outstanding loans to such person), as to which such prior board of director
approval is required, as being the greater of $25,000 or 5% of capital and surplus (up to $500,000). Further, pursuant to Section 22(h), the Federal Reserve requires that loans to directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders be
made on terms substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions with non-executive employees of the Bank. The FDIC has imposed additional limits on the amount a bank can loan to an executive officer.

Loans to One Borrower.The Bank is subject to the Commissioners loans to one borrower limits, which are substantially the same as those applicable to
national banks. Under these limits, no loans and extensions of credit to any borrower outstanding at one time and not fully secured by readily marketable collateral shall exceed 15% of the unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus of the Bank. Loans
and extensions of credit to such a borrower fully secured by readily marketable collateral may comprise an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act enacted in 1999 (the GLB Act) dramatically changed various federal laws governing the banking, securities and insurance industries. The GLB
Act has expanded opportunities for banks and bank holding companies to provide services and engage in other revenue-generating activities that previously were prohibited to them. In doing so it increased competition in the financial services
industry, presenting greater opportunities to our larger competitors who were more able to expand their services and products than smaller oriented financial institutions, such as the Bank.

USA Patriot Act of 2001. The USA Patriot Act of 2001was enacted in response to the terrorist attacks that occurred in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.
on September 11, 2001. The Act is intended to strengthen the ability of U.S. law enforcement and the intelligence community to work cohesively to combat terrorism on a variety of fronts. The impact of the Act on financial institutions of all
kinds is significant and wide ranging. The Act contains sweeping anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and imposes various regulations, including standards for verifying customer identification at account opening and rules to promote
cooperation among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement entities in identifying parties that may be involved in terrorism or money laundering.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was signed into law and included significant changes addressing accounting, corporate governance and disclosure issues. The impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act

---

is wide-ranging as it applies to all public companies and imposes significant new requirements for public company governance and disclosure requirements.

In general, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandated corporate governance and financial reporting requirements intended to enhance the accuracy and transparency of
public companies reported financial results. It established new responsibilities for corporate chief executive officers, chief financial officers and audit committees in the financial reporting process and created a new regulatory body to
oversee auditors of public companies. It backed these requirements with new SEC enforcement tools, increased criminal penalties for federal mail, wire and securities fraud and created new criminal penalties for document and record destruction in
connection with federal investigations. It also increased the opportunity for more private litigation by lengthening the statute of limitations for securities fraud claims and providing new federal corporate whistleblower protection.

The economic and operational effects of this Act on public companies, including the Bank, has been and is expected to continue to be significant in terms of the time,
resources and costs associated with complying with the law.

Other. The federal banking agencies, including the FDIC, have developed joint
regulations requiring annual examinations of all insured depository institutions by the appropriate federal banking agency, with some exceptions for small, well-capitalized institutions and state chartered institutions examined by state regulators
and establish operational and managerial, asset quality, earnings and stock valuation standards for insured depository institutions as well as compensation standards when such compensation would endanger the insured depository institution or would
constitute an unsafe practice.

In addition, the Bank is subject to various other state and federal laws and regulations, including state usury laws, laws
relating to fiduciaries, consumer credit and equal credit, fair credit reporting laws and laws relating to branch banking. The Bank, as an insured North Carolina commercial bank, is prohibited from engaging as a principal in activities that are not
permitted for national banks, unless (i) the FDIC determines that the activity would pose no significant risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund and (ii) the Bank is, and continues to be, in compliance with all applicable capital standards.

Under Chapter 53 of the North Carolina General Statutes, if the capital stock of a North Carolina commercial bank is impaired by losses or otherwise, the
Commissioner is authorized to require payment of the deficiency by assessment upon the banks shareholders, pro rata, and to the extent necessary, if any such assessment is not paid by any shareholder, upon 30 days notice, to sell as much as is
necessary of the stock of such shareholder to make good the deficiency.

|ITEM 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------

On July 22, 2008, the Company and the Bank
filed a civil action in the Superior Court of Alamance County, North Carolina, against their former President and Chief Executive Officer whose employment terminated during August 2007. The lawsuit alleges claims (which involve amounts that are not
material to the Companys financial condition or results of operations) for fraud and misrepresentation, conversion of funds and breach of fiduciary duty as a director and officer. On July 24, 2008, the former officer filed a claim for
arbitration pursuant to his employment agreement with the Bank, disputing that there was cause for the termination of his employment and seeking to be paid additional salary and benefits under the agreement and other compensatory agreements between
him and the Bank. The Bank will vigorously defend its position that the former officer was discharged for cause and is not entitled to any additional compensation or benefits, and that he is obligated to repay the Bank for certain personal expenses
and excesses incurred while he served as an officer

Since it was organized in 2002, the Company has retained its earnings as additional capital to support growth in its
earning assets, and it has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock. Information regarding regulatory restrictions on the Companys and the Banks abilities to pay cash dividends is contain in this report under the captions
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS  Supervision and Regulation above, and in NOTE P to the Companys financial statements included in this Report under Item 8. Although the Company is a legal entity separate and distinct
from the Bank, the Companys principal source of funds with which it could pay cash dividends would be the dividends the Company receives from the Bank. For that reason, the Companys ability to pay dividends effectively is subject to the
same limitations that apply to the Bank. In the future, in addition to the regulatory considerations referenced above, the Companys ability to declare and pay cash dividends will be subject to the Board of Directors evaluation of the
Companys and the Banks operating results, capital levels, financial condition, future growth plans, general business and economic conditions, and other relevant considerations, as well as to changes in applicable statutes, regulations or
regulatory policies that could have a material effect on the Companys and the Banks business.

|ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The discussion and analysis that follows is intended to assist readers in the understanding and evaluation of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. It should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the supplemental financial data appearing throughout this discussion and analysis. Because the Companys primary asset is
the Bank, the discussion that follows focuses on the Banks business and operations.

Challenges.

The Bank has achieved significant growth without the advent of acquisitions or mergers since first opening its doors in 1997. The financial industry in
general is faced with many uncertainties and challenges. As management plans its strategic goals and objectives, future expectations of economic activity, and how these uncertainties could impact the Companys performance, must be taken into
consideration. The challenges that we believe are most likely to have an impact on the operations of the Company in the foreseeable future are presented below:



| |  |  | Sustaining profitable growth
| | - |  | ----------------------------

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND OTHER DATA

Selected Consolidated Financial Information and Other Data are
presented in Table 1 of Item 6. The information in this table is derived in part from the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company. The information in this table does not purport to be complete and should be
read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements that are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

The Company reported total assets
increasing by $73.7 million, or 15.8%, to $540.8 million at year-end 2008. This growth was principally reflected in increased loans. Loans, excluding those held for sale, increased by $62.9 million, or 16.9%, from $371.7 million at the beginning of
the year to $434.7 million at year end. The increase in loans was composed principally of increases of $16.1 million in commercial mortgage loans, $16.3 million in residential mortgage loans (including income producing properties) and $16.3 million
in commercial and industrial loans, all of which are segments of lending the Company targets and intends to continue targeting in the future. Investment securities increased by $323,000, or 0.5%, from $70.8 million to $71.1 million. Liquid assets,
consisting of cash and demand balances due from banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks and investment securities, were 16.1% of



14

total assets, at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, has an investment of $2.0 million in FHLB stock. The
Banks investment in life insurance used to offset the cost of employee benefit plans, increased by $299 thousand during 2008 to $7.9 million. The increase was due to an increase in the cash surrender value of the policies.

Deposits increased $94.1 million during 2008. Non-interest-bearing demand accounts increased $12.5 million, or 41.0%, time deposits increased $77.8 million or 29.6%,
money market and NOW accounts increased $3.4 million, or 4.5%, and savings accounts increased 300,000 or 3.93%, over the amount of such deposits at December 31, 2007. The Bank also used wholesale brokered certificates of deposit and advances
from the FHLB of Atlanta, Georgia as funding sources during 2008 to serve as a secondary source of funding asset growth. Borrowings from the FHLB decreased from $49.0 million at the end of 2007 to $25.0 million at December 31, 2008. Wholesale
brokered certificates of deposit comprised approximately 22.8% of total certificate of deposit balances. Typically brokered certificates of deposit have similar terms to retail certificates of deposit issued in the Banks local markets, with
rates marginally lower than local market certificates of deposit rates.

Total shareholders equity increased by $4.0 million, or 12.2%, during 2008.
All capital ratios continue to place the Company and the Bank in excess of the minimum required to be a well-capitalized institution by regulatory measures. The proceeds from the exercising of stock options of $792,000 during 2008 increased
shareholders equity by that amount. The Company issued $4.8 million in Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock on August 15, 2005 and $8.5 million in Trust Preferred Securities during prior years, so as to remain well
capitalized under regulatory capital guidelines without diluting existing shareholders ownership. The Trust Preferred Securities and Preferred Stock should provide sufficient capital to retain a well-capitalized designation
as defined by regulatory capital guidelines for the foreseeable future. The Trust Preferred Securities qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital and are reported in Federal Reserve regulatory reports as a qualifying security in a consolidated subsidiary.
The junior subordinated debentures issued to guarantee the Trust Preferred Securities do not qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital. On July 2, 2003, the Federal Reserve issued a letter, SR 03-13, stating that notwithstanding any potential
implications FIN 46R may have on reporting trust preferred securities on financial statements, trust preferred securities will continue to be included in Tier 1 capital until notice is given to the contrary. There can be no assurance that the
Federal Reserve will continue to allow institutions to include trust-preferred securities in Tier I capital for regulatory capital purposes. In the event of a disallowance, there would be a reduction in the Companys consolidated capital
ratios. However, the Company believes that the Bank would remain well capitalized under FDIC guidelines.

At December 31, 2008, the Bank
was considered to be well capitalized under the FDIC guidelines.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Similar to most financial institutions, the primary component of earnings for the Bank is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest
income, principally from the loan and investment securities portfolios, and interest expense, principally on deposits and borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread and margin. For this purpose,
volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities and margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as
levels of non-interest-bearing liabilities. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, average interest-earning assets were $487.0 million, $427.1 million and $379.2 million, respectively. During these same years, the Banks
net yields on average interest-earning assets were 2.94%, 3.12% and 3.38%, respectively. The decrease in net yields from 2007 to 2008 is a reflection of the dramatic decrease in interest rates over the year. An overall decrease in spread which is
the difference between yields earned on interest bearing assets less the interest paid on interest bearing liabilities was strongly influenced by extreme competitive pressures in our markets. The Banks balance sheet is well positioned for
changes in interest rates. When interest rates change, the Banks earnings and net yields remain stable.

Table 2, following this discussion,
Average Balances and Net Interest Income, presents an analysis of the Banks net interest income for 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Table 3,
following this discussion, Volume and Rate Variance Analysis, shows the amounts of changes in net interest income due to changes in volume and rates and illustrates that the change in the average volume of loans and the increase in
average deposit rates were the predominant factors in the higher amount of net interest income realized by the Bank in 2008, when compared to 2007.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEARS
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

Overview.The Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $3.3 million, or $0.66 per diluted
common share, for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with net income available to shareholders of $4.5 million, or $0.92 per diluted common share, for 2007, a decrease of $1.2 million or $0.26 per diluted share. Results for the 12
months ended December 31, 2008 included a one-time after tax adjustment of $248,000 related to Other Than Temporary Impairment of Mortgage Backed Securities. Results for the 12 months ended December 31, 2007 included a one-time after-tax
adjustment of $579,000 related to the reversal of accrued benefits for a former executive officer. Excluding the effect of these adjustments, our diluted earnings per common share for 2008 would have been $0.71, compared to $0.80 for 2007.

Net Interest Income.Net interest income increased to $14.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, a $990,000 or 7.4% increase from the
$13.3 million earned in 2007. Total interest income benefited from strong growth in the level of average earning assets offset by lower asset yields caused by the decrease in interest rates during the year. The rates earned on a significant portion
of the Banks loans adjust immediately when indexes like the prime rate change. Conversely, a large portion of interest-bearing liabilities, including certificates of deposit and Bank borrowings, have rates fixed until maturity. As a result,
interest rate reductions will generally result in an immediate drop in the Banks interest income on loans, with a more delayed impact on interest expense because reductions in interest costs will only occur upon renewals of certificates of
deposit or borrowings. Interest rate increases will generally result in an immediate increase in the Banks interest income on loans, with a more delayed impact on interest expense because increases in interest costs will only occur upon
renewals of certificates of deposit or borrowings. Average total interest-earning assets increased $59.8 million, or 14.0%, during 2008 compared to 2007, while the average yield decreased by 119 basis points from 7.27% to 6.08%. As interest rates
decreased during 2008, the average rate on loans decreased year over year. The average rate on investment securities increased in 2008 compared to 2007, reflecting managements decision to purchase higher yielding securities during 2008 taking
advantage of the unusual extremes in mortgaged backed securities prices in 2008. Average total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $52.1 million, or 13.7%, consistent with the increase in interest-earning assets. The average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 113 basis points from 4.66% to 3.53%. With the yield on earning assets decreasing more significantly than the cost of interest bearing liabilities, the Banks net interest margin decreased by 18 basis
points. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the net interest margin was 2.94%, while for the year ended December 31, 2007, the net interest margin was 3.12%. Table 3 reflects the volume and rate variances from 2008 vs. 2007.

Provision for Loan Losses.The Bank recorded $1.7 million in the provision for loan losses in 2008, an increase of $1.2 million from the $425,000 provision
made in 2007. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers factors that include growth,
composition and industry diversification of the portfolio, historical loan loss experience, current delinquency levels, adverse situations that may affect a borrowers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing
economic conditions and other relevant factors. For 2008 the provision to loan losses was made in response to the weakened economy and real estate market experienced during 2008, large provisions were made each quarter during the year, total loans
outstanding, net of loans held for sale, increased by $62.9 million in 2008 and by $58.1 million in 2007. At December 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was $5.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 26.22%, from the $4.5 million at the
end of 2007. The allowance represented 1.30% and 1.20%, respectively, of loans outstanding at the end of 2008 and 2007, net of loans held for sale. At December 31, 2008, the Bank had $3.1 million in non-accrual loans. In 2007, the Bank had
$700,000 in non-accrual loans. It is managements opinion that reserve levels are adequate.

Non-Interest Income.Non-interest income decreased
to $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, a decrease of $352,000 or 11.3%. A one time gain on the sale of other real estate in the amount of $536,000 offset by a one
time loss related to Other Than Temporary Impairment of private label collateralized mortgage obligation securities with market value decreases greater than 30%in the amount of $490,000, resulted in a net affect of one time benefit in the amount of
$46,000 in 2008. During 2007, a one time gain on the sale of other real estate in the amount of $481,000 accounted for 15.5% of total non-interest income. Excluding the net gain on the sale of other real estate, offset by the Other Than Temporary

---

Impairment charge, in 2008 and the gain on sale of other real estate during 2007, non-interest income increased $83,000 or 3.2% for 2008. Mortgage operations
income decreased to $571 thousand in 2008, from $600 thousand in 2007, reflecting a softening in the overall mortgage origination market. Service charges on deposit accounts in 2008 were $1.2 million, an increase of $94,000, or 8.9%, compared to
$1.1 million in 2007 reflecting the positive results of a focused marketing effort to increase demand deposit accounts. Table 4, following this discussion, is a comparative analysis of the components of non-interest income for 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Non-Interest Expenses.Non-interest expenses totaled $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $1.2 million over the
$8.8 million reported for 2007. Adjusting non-interest expense for a one-time adjustment of $905,000 related to the reversal of accrued benefits for a former executive officer, non-interest expense for 2007 would have totaled $9.7 million, an
increase of $307,000 or 3.2%. Substantially all of this increase resulted from the Banks growth and development during 2008 and 2007. Personnel costs after the one-time adjustment of $905 thousand related to the reversal of accrued benefits
for a former executive officer increased by $3,000 in 2008. Professional and other services increased $74,000 or 15.6% primarily due to expenses incurred related to the preparation of anticipated regulatory changes and increases in legal fees and
proceedings. Deposit and other insurance expense increased $80,000 or 22.7% because of increased FDIC premiums. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $51,000 due to increases in maintenance costs and additional lease expense incurred with the
relocation of our Green Valley Office located in Greensboro, NC. Data processing and other outside services decreased $19,000, or 1.7%, due to the renegotiation of our bank platform operating system contract. Advertising expense increased $131,000
reflecting new marketing strategies and programs during 2008. Table 5, following this discussion, presents a comparative analysis of the components of non-interest expenses for 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Income Taxes.The provision for income tax was $1.7 million in 2008 and $2.3 million in 2007. The effective tax rates were 32.2% and 32.4%, respectively, on
income before income taxes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEARS
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006

Overview.The Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $4.5 million, or $0.92 per diluted
common share, for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared with net income available to shareholders of $3.5 million, or $0.73 per diluted common share, for 2006, an improvement of $1.0 million or $0.19 per diluted share. When adjusted for an
after-tax one time adjustment of $579,000 related to the reversal of accrued benefits originally designated for the benefit of a former executive officer, net income available to common shareholders is $3.9 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, an
increase of $412,000 or 11.8%. Net interest income increased $512,000, or 4.0%, in 2007, and the provision for loan losses increased $31,000, or 7.9%, while non-interest income increased by $804,000 or 34.9%. Non-interest expense decreased by
$291,000 or 3.2% in 2007, when adjusted for a $905,000 pre-tax reversal of accrued benefits for a former executive officer, non-interest expense totaled $9.7 million in 2007 compared to $9.1 million in 2006, or an increase of 6.8%.

Net Interest Income.Net interest income increased to $13.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, a $512,000 or 4.0% increase from the $12.8 million
earned in 2006. Total interest income benefited from strong growth in the level of average earning assets and higher asset yields caused by the increase in interest rates during the year. The rates earned on a significant portion of the Banks
loans adjust immediately when indexes like the prime rate change. Conversely, a large portion of interest-bearing liabilities, including certificates of deposit and Bank borrowings, have rates fixed until maturity. As a result, interest rate
reductions will generally result in an immediate drop in the Banks interest income on loans, with a more delayed impact on interest expense because reductions in interest costs will only occur upon renewals of certificates of deposit or
borrowings. Interest rate increases will generally result in an immediate increase in the Banks interest income on loans, with a more delayed impact on interest expense because increases in interest costs will only occur upon renewals of
certificates of deposit or borrowings. Average total interest-earning assets increased $48.0 million, or 12.7%, during 2007 compared to 2006, while the average yield increased by 13 basis points from 7.14% to 7.27%. As interest rates increased
during 2007, the average rate on loans increased year over year. The average rate on investment securities increased in 2007 compared to 2006, reflecting managements decision to purchase higher yielding securities during 2007 as interest rates
began to rise. Average total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $42.0 million, or 12.4%, consistent with the increase in interest-earning assets. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 45 basis points from 4.21% to
4.66%. With the yield on earning assets increasing less significantly than the cost of interest bearing liabilities, the Banks net interest margin decreased by 26 basis points. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the net interest margin
was 3.12%, while for the year ended December 31, 2006, the net interest margin was 3.38%. Table 3 reflects the volume and rate variances from 2007 vs. 2006.

Provision for Loan Losses.The Bank recorded $425,000 as
the provision for loan losses in 2007, an increase of $31,000 from the $394,000 provision made in 2006. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. In
evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers factors that include growth, composition and industry diversification of the portfolio, historical loan loss experience, current delinquency levels, adverse situations that may affect a
borrowers ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and other relevant factors. For 2007 the provision for loan losses was made in response to a weakening economy and real estate market in
the 4thquarter as well as growth in loans, as total loans outstanding, net of loans held for sale, increased by $58.1 million in 2007 and by $33.6
million in 2006. At December 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was $4.5 million, an increase of $240,000, or 5.7%, from the $4.2 million at the end of 2006. The allowance represented 1.20% and 1.35%, respectively, of loans outstanding at
the end of 2007 and 2006, net of loans held for sale. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had $700,000 in non-accrual loans. In 2006, the Bank had $794,000 in non-accrual loans. It is managements opinion that reserve levels are adequate.

Non-Interest Income.Non-interest income increased to $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to $2.3 million for the year
ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $804,000 or 34.9%. A one time gain on the sale of other real estate in the amount of $481,000 accounted for 15.5% of total non-interest income. Excluding the gain on the sale of other real estate,
non-interest income increased $323,000 or 14.0% for 2007. Mortgage operations income decreased to $600,000 in 2007, from $632,000 in 2006, reflecting a softening in the overall mortgage origination market. Service charges on deposit accounts in 2007
were $1.1 million, an increase of $114 thousand, or 12.1%, compared to $944,000 in 2006 reflecting the positive results of a focused marketing effort to increase demand deposit accounts. Table 4, following this discussion, is a comparative analysis
of the components of non-interest income for 2007, 2006.

Non-Interest Expenses.Non-interest expenses totaled $8.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2007, a decrease of $291,000 over the $9.1 million reported for 2006. Adjusting non-interest expense for a one-time adjustment of $905,000 related to the reversal of accrued benefits for a former executive officer, non-interest
expense for 2007 would have totaled $9.7 million, an increase of $614,000 or 6.8%. Substantially all of this increase resulted from the Banks growth and development during 2007 and 2006. Personnel costs after a one-time adjustment of $905
thousand related to the reversal of accrued benefits originally designated for a former executive officer increased by $248,000 in 2007, or 4.8%. Professional and other services increased $69,000 primarily due to expenses incurred related to the
preparation of anticipated regulatory changes. Deposit and other insurance expense increased $144,000 or 69.2% because of increased FDIC premiums. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $7,000 due to increases in maintenance costs. Data
processing and other outside services increased $99,000, or 14.7%, due to the enhancement of computer systems. Advertising expense decreased $90,000 reflecting new marketing strategies during 2007. Table 5, following this discussion, presents a
comparative analysis of the components of non-interest expenses for 2007, 2006.

Income Taxes.The provision for income tax was $2.3 million in 2007
and $1.8 million in 2006. The effective tax rates were 32.4% and 31.1%, respectively, on income before income taxes. The increase in the effective tax rate for 2007 reflects an decrease in the proportion of tax-exempt income to total income for 2007
over 2006.

LIQUIDITY

The Banks sources of liquidity
are customer deposits, cash and demand balances due from other banks, interest-earning deposits in other banks and investment securities available for sale. These funds, together with loan and securities repayments, are used to fund loans and
continuing operations. At December 31, 2008, the Bank had credit availability with the Federal Reserve Bank of $80.6 million and the FHLB of $125.8 million, with $25.0 million outstanding.

Total deposits were $467.9 million and $373.9 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Banks deposits increased 25.2% in 2008. Because the
Banks organic deposit growth was not sufficient in amount to meet the total funding needs of the Banks asset growth, the Bank looked to alternative funding sources during 2008. In light of local market deposit competition during the
year, the Bank found it less costly to access brokered certificates of deposits rather than compete for higher cost of funds sources within our local markets. The Bank will continue to evaluate all funding sources for cost, accessibility,
dependability and efficiency. Brokered certificates of deposits increased $34.7 million during 2008, from $88.7 million in 2007 to $123.4 million in 2008, an increase of 39.2%.



18



---

Brokered deposits as a percent of assets increased from 19.0% in 2007 to 22.8% in 2008.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, time deposits represented 63.0% and 70.3%, respectively, of the Banks total deposits. Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more represented 59.9% and 51.5%, respectively, of
the Banks total deposits at December 31, 2008 and 2007. At December 31, 2008, the Bank had $7.0 million in public deposits and $123.4 million in brokered time deposits. These sources of funds are generally considered to be less
stable than deposits from the Banks local markets. However, management believes that other non-traditional funding time deposits are relationship oriented. While the Bank appreciates the need to pay competitive rates to retain these deposits,
other subjective factors also influence deposit retention. Based upon prior experience, the Bank anticipates that a substantial portion of outstanding certificates of deposit will renew upon maturity. The Banks aggregate wholesale funding
(brokered CDs, wholesale NOW accounts, FHLB advances and FRB discount window borrowings) as a percentage of total assets decreased to 29.3% in 2008 from 32.6% in 2007. The wholesale funding aggregate decrease is due primarily to the strong
acceptance by our retail customer base of CDARS (Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service) a deposit placement network (an innovation that allows banks to offer up to $50 million of FDIC insurance per depositor by networking with other banks
within the CDARS system). CDARS deposits have increased from $6.8 million in 2007 to $48.8 million in 2008, reflecting a strong flight to quality by our customer base during the 2008 unpredictable economic environment.

Management anticipates that the Bank will utilize non-local market funding sources such as wholesale NOW accounts, CDARS, FHLB advances, FRB advances and brokered
certificates of deposits as a less costly diversified funding source to complement the Banks local market deposits. Deposits, loan repayments, mortgage-backed securities prepayments, bond maturities, FHLB advances FRB discount window
borrowings and current earnings will be employed to provide liquidity, generate loans, purchase securities, procure fixed assets and meet other operating needs incurred in normal banking activities.

In the normal course of business there are various outstanding contractual obligations of the Bank that will require future cash outflows. In addition, there are
commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit that may or may not require future cash outflows. Table 6, following this discussion, Contractual Obligations and Commitments, summarizes the Banks
contractual obligations and commitments as of December 31, 2008.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, shareholders equity of the Company totaled $37.2 million and $33.2 million, respectively. The Companys equity to asset ratio on those dates was 6.9% and 7.1%,
respectively, reflecting the Companys aggressive growth. The Company and the Bank are subject to minimum capital requirements. See PART 1, ITEM 1DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS  SUPERVISION AND REGULATION. Because the
Companys only significant asset is its investment in the Bank, information concerning capital ratios is essentially the same for the Company and the Bank.

All capital ratios place the Bank in excess of minimum requirements to be classified as well capitalized by regulatory measures. The Banks Tier-1leverage ratio was 8.68% at December 31, 2008.

Note P to the accompanying consolidated financial statements presents an analysis of the Banks regulatory capital position as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Management anticipates that the Bank will remain well-capitalized for regulatory purposes throughout 2009.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The Banks results of operations depend substantially on its net interest income. Like most financial institutions, the Banks interest income
and cost of funds are affected by general economic conditions and by competition in the market place. The purpose of asset/liability management is to provide stable net interest income growth by protecting the Banks earnings from undue
interest rate risk, which arises from volatile interest rates and changes in the balance sheet mix, and by managing the risk/return relationships between liquidity, interest rate risk, market risk and capital adequacy. The Bank maintains, and has
complied with, an asset/liability management policy approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank that provides guidelines for controlling exposure to interest rate risk by utilizing the following ratios and trend analysis:
liquidity, equity, volatile liability dependence, portfolio maturities, maturing assets and maturing liabilities. The Banks policy is to control the exposure of its earnings to changing interest rates by generally endeavoring to maintain a
position within a range around an earnings neutral position, which is defined as the mix of assets and liabilities that generate a net interest margin that is least affected by interest rate changes.

When suitable lending opportunities are not sufficient to utilize available funds, the Bank has generally invested such
funds in securities, primarily securities issued by U.S. governmental agencies, mortgage-backed securities and securities issued by local governmental municipalities. The securities portfolio contributes to the Banks profits and plays an
important part in the overall interest rate management. However, management of the securities portfolio alone cannot balance overall interest rate risk. The securities portfolio must be used in combination with other asset/liability techniques to
actively manage the balance sheet. The primary objectives in the overall management of the securities portfolio are safety, liquidity, yield, asset/liability management (interest rate risk) and investing in securities that can be pledged for public
deposits or as collateral for FHLB advances.

In reviewing the needs of the Bank with regard to proper management of its asset/liability program, the
Banks management estimates its future needs, taking into consideration historical periods of high loan demand and low deposit balances, estimated loan and deposit increases (due to increased demand through marketing) and forecasted interest
rate changes. A number of measures are used to monitor and manage interest rate risk, including income simulations and interest sensitivity (gap) analyses. An income simulation model is the primary tool used to assess the direction and magnitude of
changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest rates. Key assumptions in the model include prepayments on loan and loan-backed assets, cash flows and maturities of other investment securities, loan and deposit volumes and pricing.
These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income or precisely predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated
results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

Based on the results of the income simulation model, as of December 31, 2008, due to the extremely low interest rate environment, the Bank would expect an increase in net interest income of $253,000 if interest rates increase from
current rates by an instantaneous 100 basis points and an increase in net interest income of $414,000 thousand if interest rates decrease from current rates by an instantaneous 100 basis points.

The analysis of an institutions interest rate gap (the difference between the repricing of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during a given
period of time) is another standard tool for the measurement of the exposure to interest rate risk. Management believes that because interest rate gap analysis does not address all factors that can affect earnings performance, it should be used in
conjunction with other methods of evaluating interest rate risk.

Table 7, following this discussion, Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis, sets
forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at December 31, 2008, which are projected to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and
liabilities shown which reprice or mature within a particular period were determined in accordance with the contractual terms of the assets or liabilities. Loans with adjustable rates are shown as being due at the end of the next upcoming adjustment
period. Money market deposit accounts are considered rate sensitive and are placed in the shortest period. Negotiable order of withdrawal or other transaction accounts are also assumed to be rate sensitive and are placed in the shortest period. In
making the gap computations, none of the assumptions sometimes made regarding prepayment rates and deposit decay rates are used for any interest-earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, the table does not reflect scheduled
principal payments that will be received throughout the lives of the loans. The interest rate sensitivity of the Banks assets and liabilities illustrated in the table would vary substantially if different assumptions were used or if actual
experience differs from that indicated by such assumptions.

Table 7 illustrates that if assets and liabilities reprice in the time intervals indicated in
the table, the Bank is asset sensitive within three months, liability sensitive over three months to twelve months, liability sensitive within twelve months and asset sensitive thereafter. As stated above, certain shortcomings are inherent in the
method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the
interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market interest rates. For instance, while the table is based on
the assumption that money market accounts are immediately sensitive to movements in rates, the Bank expects that in a changing rate environment the amount of the adjustment in interest rates for such accounts would be less than the adjustment in
categories of assets that are considered to be immediately sensitive. The same is true for all other interest-bearing transaction accounts. Additionally, certain assets have features that restrict changes in the interest rates of such assets both on
a short-term basis and over the lives of such assets. Further, in the event of a change in market interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in

calculating the tables. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an increase in market
interest rates. Due to these shortcomings, the Bank places primary emphasis on its income simulation model when managing its exposure to changes in interest rates. The Bank does not normally make interest rate predictions, or take undue risk on
potential changes in interest rate direction. The Bank is currently neutral in its rate sensitivity. Should interest rates increase or decrease, the Banks earnings, margins and spreads would be positively impacted.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

General.The Bank provides to its customers a
full range of short- to medium-term commercial, mortgage, construction and personal loans, both secured and unsecured. The Bank also makes real estate mortgage and construction loans.

The Banks loan policies and procedures establish the basic guidelines governing its lending operations. Generally, the guidelines address the types of loans that the Bank seeks, target markets, underwriting and
collateral requirements, terms, interest rate and yield considerations and compliance with laws and regulations. All loans or credit lines are subject to approval procedures and amount limitations. These limitations apply to the borrowers
total outstanding indebtedness to the Bank, including the indebtedness of any guarantor. The policies are reviewed and approved at least annually by the Board of Directors of the Bank. The Bank supplements its own supervision of the loan
underwriting and approval process with periodic loan audits by internal loan examiners and outside professionals experienced in loan review work. The Bank has focused its portfolio lending activities on typically higher yielding commercial,
construction and consumer loans. The Bank also originates 1-4 family mortgages that are typically sold into the secondary market, servicing released.

Table 8, Loan Portfolio Composition, following this discussion, provides an analysis of the Banks loan portfolio composition by type of loan as of the end of each of the last five years.

Table 9, Loan Maturities, following this discussion, presents, at December 31, 2008, (i) the aggregate maturities or re-pricings of commercial,
industrial and commercial mortgage loans and of real estate constructions loans and (ii) the aggregate amounts of such loans by variable and fixed rates.

Commercial and Industrial Loans.At December 31, 2008, the Banks commercial and industrial loan portfolio equaled $63.2 million, or 14.6% of total loans, as compared with $46.9 million, or 12.6% of total loans, at
December 31, 2007. Commercial and industrial loans include both secured and unsecured loans for working capital, expansion and other business purposes. Short-term working capital loans generally are secured by accounts receivable, inventory
and/or equipment. The Bank also makes term commercial loans secured by equipment and real estate. Lending decisions are based on an evaluation of the financial strength, management and credit history of the borrower, and the quality of the
collateral securing the loan. With few exceptions, the Bank requires personal guarantees and secondary sources of repayment.

Commercial and industrial
loans generally provide greater yields and reprice more frequently than other types of loans, such as real estate loans, as most commercial loan yields are tied to the prime rate index. Therefore, yields on most commercial loans adjust with changes
in the prime rate.

Real Estate Loans.Real estate loans are originated for the purpose of purchasing, constructing or refinancing one to four
family, five or more family and commercial properties. The Bank offers fixed and adjustable rate options. The Bank provides customers access to long-term conventional real estate loans through its mortgage loan department which makes Federal
National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Company (FHLMC) and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) conforming loans that are originated with a commitment from a
correspondent bank to purchase the loan within 30-45 days of closing.

Residential 1- 4 family loans are classified into two categories: conforming loans,
that are originated under the underwriting guidelines established by FNMA, FHLMC or GNMA and held for sale and nonconforming loans that are originated and retained in the Banks loan portfolio. The terms conforming and
nonconforming do not refer to credit quality, but rather to whether the loan is underwritten so that it can be sold in the secondary market. At December 31, 2008, the Bank had no loans held for sale while nonconforming loans held in
the Banks permanent portfolio amounted to $457,000. The Banks permanent residential mortgage loans are generally secured by properties located within the Banks market area. Most of the one to four family residential mortgage loans
that the Bank makes are conforming loans and are sold within 30 days of closing to a correspondent bank. The Bank originated 217 loans in the amount of $21.5 million for sale in the secondary market during 2008. The Bank receives a fee for each loan
originated, with fees aggregating $571,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and $600,000



21



---

for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Bank anticipates that it will continue to be an active originator of residential loans. Nonconforming
residential mortgage loans that are retained in the Banks loan portfolio generally have rate terms of five years or less, with amortizations up to 20 years.

The Bank has made, and anticipates continuing to make, commercial real estate loans. Commercial real estate loans amounted to $156.3 million at December 31, 2008. These loans are secured principally by commercial buildings for office,
storage and warehouse space, and by agricultural properties. Generally in underwriting commercial real estate loans, the Bank requires the personal guarantee of borrowers and a demonstrated cash flow capability sufficient to service the debt. Loans
secured by commercial real estate usually involve a greater degree of risk than 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. Payments on such loans are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties.

The Bank originates 1- 4 family residential construction loans for the construction of custom homes (where the home buyer is the borrower) and provides financing to
builders and consumers for the construction of pre-sold homes. The Bank generally receives a pre-arranged permanent financing commitment from an outside entity prior to financing the construction of pre-sold homes. The Bank lends to builders who
have demonstrated a favorable record of performance and profitable operations and who are building in markets that management believes it understands and in which it is comfortable with the economic conditions. The Bank also makes commercial real
estate construction loans, generally for owner-occupied properties. The Bank further endeavors to limit its construction lending risk through adherence to established underwriting procedures. The Bank generally requires documentation for all draw
requests and utilizes loan officers to inspect the project prior to honoring draw requests from the builder. With few exceptions, the Bank requires personal guarantees and secondary sources of repayment on construction loans.

Consumer Loans and Home Equity Lines of Credits.Loans to individuals include automobile loans, boat and recreational vehicle financing, home equity and home
improvement loans and miscellaneous secured and unsecured personal loans. Consumer loans generally can carry significantly greater risks than other loans, even if secured, if the collateral consists of rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles
and equipment. Repossessed collateral securing a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the loan. Consumer loan collections are sensitive to job loss, illness and other personal factors. The Bank attempts to
manage the risks inherent in consumer lending by following established credit guidelines and underwriting practices designed to minimize risk of loss.

Loan Approvals.The Banks loan policies and procedures establish the basic guidelines governing its lending operations. Generally, the guidelines address the type of loans that the Bank seeks, target markets, underwriting and
collateral requirements, terms, interest rate and yield considerations and compliance with laws and regulations. All loans or credit lines are subject to approval procedures and amount limitations. These limitations apply to the borrowers
total outstanding indebtedness to the Bank, including the indebtedness of any guarantor. The policies are reviewed and approved at least annually by the Board of Directors of the Bank. The Bank supplements its own supervision of the loan
underwriting and approval process with periodic loan audits by independent, outside professionals experienced in loan review analysis.

Responsibility for
loan production rests with the Senior Commercial Lending Officer in each market. The responsibility for loan underwriting, loan processing and approval is with the Chief Credit Officer. The Board of Directors of the Bank reviews the Presidents
lending authority annually. The Board, in turn delegates loan authority to the Chief Credit Officer and other loan officers of the Bank. Delegated authorities may include loans, letters of credit, overdrafts, uncollected funds and such other
authority as determined by the Board of Directors or the President.

The President and the Chief Credit Officer each have the authority to approve loans up
to $400 thousand. The President in conjunction with the Chief Credit Officer have the combined authority to approve loans up to $2 million which is the maximum staff, in-house lending limit set by the Board of Directors. The Boards Loan
Committee approves all loans in excess of the staffs in-house lending limit. The Committee consists of the President, the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Banks Board and four outside directors as appointed by the Board of the Bank

Additionally, all loans of $50 thousand or greater and all loans with relationship exposure of $200,000 or above are reviewed by the Management Loan
Committee comprised of the President, Chief Credit Officer, and the Senior Commercial Loan Officers for Burlington, Graham and Greensboro. The Banks Loan Committee reviews all loans with total exposure of $1.0 million or greater and approves
all loans with total exposure of $2.0 million or greater. The Banks legal lending limit was $7.8 million at December 31, 2008. The Bank seldom makes loans approaching



22

its legal lending limit.

COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into various types of transactions that include commitments to extend credit that are not included in
loans receivable, net, presented on the Companys consolidated balance sheets. The Bank applies the same credit standards to these commitments as it uses in all its lending activities and has included these commitments in its lending risk
evaluations. The Banks exposure to credit loss under commitments to extend credit is represented by the amount of these commitments. See Note O to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Table 6.

ASSET QUALITY

The Bank considers asset quality to be of primary
importance, and employs a formal internal loan review process to ensure adherence to the lending policy as approved by the Banks Board of Directors. It is the responsibility of each loan officer to assign an appropriate risk grade to loans
when originated. Credit Administration, through the loan review process, validates the accuracy of the initial risk grade assessment. In addition, as a given loans credit quality changes, it is the responsibility of Credit Administration to
change the borrowers risk grade accordingly. The process of determining the allowance for loan losses is fundamentally driven by the risk grade system. 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 historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of collateral, economic conditions in the Banks market area and
other factors. 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. The allowance for loan losses represents
managements estimate of the appropriate level of reserve to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

The Banks policy
regarding past due loans normally requires a prompt charge-off to the allowance for loan losses following timely collection efforts and a thorough review. Further efforts are then pursued through various means available. Loans carried in a
non-accrual status are generally collateralized and are considered in the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Table 10, Nonperforming Assets, following this discussion, sets forth, for the last five years, information with respect to the Banks nonperforming
assets.

The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, including the recognition of interest income
on loans, unless a loan is placed on non-accrual basis. Loans are accounted for on a non-accrual basis when management has serious concerns about the collectibility of principal or interest. Generally, the Banks policy is to place a loan on
non-accrual status when the loan becomes 90 days past due. Loans are also placed on non-accrual status in cases where management is uncertain whether the borrower can satisfy the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments received on
non-accrual loans generally are applied to principal first, and then to interest after all principal payments have been satisfied. Restructured loans are those for which concessions, including the reduction of interest rates below a rate otherwise
available to that borrower or the deferral of interest or principal, have been granted due to the borrowers weakened financial condition. The Bank accrues interest on restructured loans at the restructured rate when management anticipates that
no loss of original principal will occur. Potential problem loans are defined as loans currently performing that are not included in non-accrual or restructured loans, but are loans that management has concerns as to the borrowers ability to
comply with present repayment terms. These loans could deteriorate to non-accrual, past due or restructured loans status. Therefore, management quantifies the risk associated with problem loans in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses. At December 31, 2008, the Bank identified $3.1million in non-accrual loans. Management anticipates that the vast majority of the non-accruing loans at December 31, 2008 will be paid out or returned to accrual status. At
December 31, 2007, the Bank identified $700,000 in non-accrual loans.

Real estate owned consists of foreclosed, repossessed and idled properties. At
December 31, 2008, there were $1.6 million assets classified as real estate owned. At December 31, 2007, there were $264,000 assets classified as real



23

estate owned.

ANALYSIS OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when
management believes that the collectibility of principal is unlikely. Recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance.

The
allowance for loan losses relating to loans that are determined to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 is based on discounted cash flows using the loans initial effective interest rate or the estimated fair value of the collateral, less costs
to sell, for certain collateral dependent loans. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment (such as residential mortgage and consumer installment loans) are excluded from impairment evaluation,
and their allowance for loan losses is calculated in accordance with the allowance for loan losses policy described below.

The provision for loan losses
charged to operating expense is based on factors which, in managements judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probable loan losses. Such factors considered by management include growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the
relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans and economic conditions. While management uses the best information available to make evaluations, 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 the Companys allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their
judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Growth in loans outstanding has, throughout the Banks history, been the
primary reason for increases in the Banks allowance for loan losses and the resultant provisions for loan losses necessary to provide for those increases. This growth has been spread among the Banks major loan categories, with the
concentrations of major loan categories being relatively consistent. Between December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, the range of each major category of loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding is as follows: residential mortgage
loans  15.4% to 16.9%; commercial mortgage loans  37.7% to 36.0%; construction loans  21.5% to 21.1%; commercial and industrial loans  12.6% to 14.6%; loans to individuals  1.6% to 1.4%; and home equity lines of credit
 11.1% to 10.0%. For the past five fiscal years through 2008, the Banks loan loss experience has been similar to that of other peer banks in North Carolina, with net loan charge-offs in each year of ranging from 0.05% to 0.12% of average
loans outstanding. Charge offs are typically recognized when it is the opinion of management that all or a portion of an outstanding loan becomes uncollectible. Loan repayment may be realized through a contractual agreement, or through liquidation
of assets pledged as collateral. Net charge-offs totaled $185,000 or 0.05% of outstanding loans for 2007 and $495,000 or 0.12% of outstanding loans for 2008. The Banks allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2007 of $4.5 million
represents 1.20% of total loans outstanding, net of loans held for sale. The Banks allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2008 was $5.6 million or 1.30% of outstanding loans, net of loans held for sale. The allowance for loan losses as
a percentage of loans outstanding increased in 2008 compared to 2007 due to an increase in loans outstanding as well as increases in non performing loans reflecting the decline in the local, national and international economic environment. Non
performing loans increased $2.4 million during 2008 to $3.1 million compared to $700,000 at December 31, 2007. $2.8 million of the non performing loans at December 31, 2008, or 88.5%, were concentrated in commercial real estate.

Table 11, Allocation for the Allowance of Loan Losses, following this discussion, presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses at
the end of each of the last five years. The allocation is based on an evaluation of defined loan problems, historical ratios of loan losses and other factors that may affect future loan losses in the categories of loans shown.

Table 12, Loan Loss and Recovery Experience, following this discussion, sets forth for each of the last five years information regarding changes in the
Banks allowance for loan losses.

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

The Banks portfolio of investment securities, all of which are available for sale, consists primarily of U.S.



24



---

government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and securities issued by local governments. Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and
not intended to be held to maturity are classified as available for sale and carried at fair value, with any unrealized gains or losses reflected as an adjustment to stockholders equity. Securities held for indefinite periods of time include
securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates and/or significant prepayment risks. It is the Banks policy to classify its investment
securities as available for sale. Table 13, Securities Portfolio Composition, following this discussion, summarizes investment securities by type at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Table 14, Securities Portfolio Composition, following this discussion, summarizes the amortized costs, fair values and weighted average yields of the
Banks investment securities at December 31, 2008, by contractual maturity groups.

The Bank does not engage in, nor does it presently intend to
engage in, securities trading activities and therefore does not maintain a trading account. At December 31, 2008, there were no securities of any issuer (other than governmental agencies) held in the Banks portfolio that exceeded 10% of
the Companys shareholders equity.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

Deposit Activities.The Bank provides a range of deposit services, including non-interest-bearing checking accounts, interest-bearing checking and savings accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. These accounts
generally earn interest at rates established by management based on competitive market factors and managements desire to increase or decrease certain types or maturities of deposits. As described in -Liquidity above, the Bank uses
wholesale deposits as a funding source. However, the Bank strives to establish customer relations to attract core deposits in non-interest-bearing transactional accounts and thus to reduce the Banks costs of funds.

Table 15, Average Deposits, following this discussion, sets forth for the for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 the average balances
outstanding and average interest rates for each major category of deposits.

Table 16, Maturities of Time Deposits of $100,000 or More, which
follows this discussion, presents maturities of certificates of deposit with balances of $100,000 or more at December 31, 2008.

Borrowings.As
additional sources of funding, the Bank uses advances from the FHLB under a line of credit equal to 30% of the Banks total assets, subject to qualifying collateral. The available aggregate line of credit was $78.1 million at December 31,
2008. Outstanding advances at December 31, 2008 totaled $25.0 million, $4.0 million maturing in 2010, bearing interest at a weighted average rate of 5.79%; $5 million maturing in 2011 at 2.37%, $6 million maturing in 2010 bearing interest at
3.98%, $10 million maturing in 2018 at 2.98% and $5 million maturing in 2011 at 2.37%. The Bank had no daily rate credit advances outstanding at December 31, 2008. Pursuant to collateral agreements with the FHLB, at December 31, 2008,
advances are secured by loans with a carrying amount of $140.5 million, which approximates market value. Advances outstanding at December 31, 2007 totaled $49.0 million.

The Bank opened a new line of credit with the FRB through their discount window in the amount of $80.6 million during 2008. No borrowings were outstanding at December 31, 2008. The line of credit is secured by
loans with a carrying amount of $102.9 million, which approximates market value.

In addition to FHLB advances, the Company issued $8.8 million of junior
subordinated debentures to its wholly owned capital trusts, MidCarolina I and MidCarolina Trust II, to fully and unconditionally guarantee the preferred securities issued by the Trusts. These long term obligations, which currently qualify as Tier I
capital for the Company, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the Trusts obligations under the Capital Trust Securities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICY

Allowance for Loan Losses.The Companys most significant critical accounting policy is the determination
of the Banks allowance for loan losses. A critical accounting policy is one that is both very important to the portrayal of the Companys financial condition and results, and requires managements most difficult, subjective or
complex judgments. What makes these judgments difficult, subjective and/or complex is the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. If the mix and amount of future write-offs differ significantly from those
assumptions used in making a determination, the allowance for loan losses and provision for loan losses on the



25



---

income statement could be materially affected. For further discussion of the allowance for loan losses and a detailed description of the methodology used in
determining the adequacy of the allowance, see the sections of this discussion titled Asset Quality, Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses and Other Than Temporarily Impaired Investments and Note B to the
consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet
arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect of the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources that is material to investors.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BANK AND THE COMPANY

Concentration of Operations.The Banks operations are concentrated in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. As a result of this geographic concentration, the Banks results may correlate to the
economic conditions in this area. A deterioration in economic conditions in this market area, particularly in the industries on which these geographic areas depend, may adversely affect the quality of the Banks loan portfolio and the demand
for the Banks products and services, and accordingly, its results of operations.

Risks Associated with Loans.A significant source of risk
for the Bank 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. The Bank has underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and
credit policies, including the establishment and review of the allowance for loan losses, that management believes are appropriate to minimize this risk by assessing the likelihood of nonperformance, tracking loan performance and diversifying the
Banks loan portfolio. Such policies and procedures, however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could adversely affect results of operations.

Competition with Larger Financial Institutions.The banking and financial services business in the Banks market area continues to be a competitive field and is becoming more competitive as a result of:



| |  | changes in regulations;
|- |  | -----------------------



| |  | changes in technology and product delivery systems; and
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial services providers.
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

It may be difficult to compete effectively in the Banks market, and results of operations could be adversely affected by the nature or pace of change in competition. The Bank competes for loans, deposits and
customers with various bank and non-bank financial services providers, many of which are much larger in total assets and capitalization, have greater access to capital markets and offer a broader array of financial services.

Trading Volume.The Companys trading volume is relatively low when compared with more seasoned companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq
Global & Global Select Market System, the New York Stock Exchange or other consolidated reporting systems or stock exchanges. The market in the Companys common stock may be limited in scope relative to other companies. The Company
cannot guarantee that a more active and liquid trading market for the Companys common stock will develop in the future.

Technological Advances.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. The Banks future success will depend, in part, on its ability to address the needs of its customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience
as well as to create additional efficiencies in the Banks operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than the Company and the Bank to invest in technological improvements.

Government Regulations.Current and future legislation and the policies established by federal and state regulatory authorities will affect the Companys and
the Banks operations. The Bank is subject to supervision and periodic examination by the FDIC and the Commissioner. The Company is subject to the supervision and regulation of the Federal Reserve and the Commissioner. Banking regulations,
designed primarily for the protection of depositors, may limit the Companys and the Banks growth and the return to our shareholders by restricting certain of the



26



---

Companys and the Banks activities, such as:



| |  | the payment of dividends to the Companys shareholders;
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  | possible mergers with or acquisitions of or by other institutions;
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | investment policies;
|- |  | --------------------



| |  | loans and interest rates on loans;
|- |  | ----------------------------------



| |  | interest rates paid on deposits;
|- |  | --------------------------------



| |  | expansion of branch offices; and/or
|- |  | -----------------------------------



| |  | the possibility to provide or expand securities or trust services.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company cannot predict what changes, if any, will be made to existing federal and state legislation and regulations or the effect that any changes may have on future business and earnings prospects. The cost of
compliance with regulatory requirements may adversely affect the Companys and the Banks ability to operate profitably.

|Item 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE 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. Our
market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in our lending and deposit-taking activities. The structure of our loan and deposit portfolios is such that a significant change in interest rates may adversely impact net market values
and net interest income. We do not maintain a trading account nor are we subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk. Interest rate risk is monitored as part of the Banks Asset/Liability Management function.

See the section entitled Asset/Liability Management for a more detailed discussion of market risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

MidCarolina Financial Corporation and Subsidiary

Burlington, North
Carolina

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of MidCarolina Financial Corporation and Subsidiary (hereinafter
referred to as the Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audit
included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MidCarolina Financial
Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006

Note A - Organization and Operations

In April 2002, the shareholders of MidCarolina Bank (the Bank) approved an Agreement and
Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the Bank became a wholly owned banking subsidiary of MidCarolina Financial Corporation (the Company), a North Carolina corporation formed as a holding company for the Bank. At the closing of the
holding company reorganization, one share of the Companys no par value common stock was exchanged for each of the outstanding shares of the Banks common stock.

The Bank was incorporated and began operations on August 14, 1997. The Bank is engaged in general commercial banking primarily in Alamance and Guilford Counties, North Carolina, and operates under the banking
laws of North Carolina and the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and
transactions of the Company, the Bank, and the Banks wholly owned subsidiary, MidCarolina Investments, Inc. The Company wholly owns the capital trusts used to issue trust preferred securities. The trusts are not consolidated as a part of these
financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Preparing 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the
consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits. Federal regulations require institutions to set aside specified amounts of cash as reserves against
transactions and time deposits. As of December 31, 2008, the daily average gross reserve requirement was $25,000.

Investment Securities

Investment securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and reported at
amortized cost. Investment securities held for current resale are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. The Company currently has no such securities. Investment securities
not classified either as securities held to maturity or trading securities are classified as available for sale and reported at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses net of related taxes excluded from earnings and reported as accumulated
other comprehensive income in shareholders equity. The classification of investment securities as held to maturity, trading or available for sale is determined at the date of purchase. Realized gains and losses from sales of investment
securities are determined based upon the specific identification method on a trade-date basis. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities.

Loans and Interest Income

Loans are carried at their principal
amount outstanding. Interest income is recorded as earned on an accrual basis. The Company discontinues the recognition of interest income when, in the opinion of management, collection of such interest is doubtful. It is the general policy of the
Company to discontinue the accrual of interest on loans, including loans impaired under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, when principal or interest
payments are contractually delinquent 90 days or

more. Any unpaid amounts previously accrued on these loans are reversed from income, and thereafter interest is recognized only to the extent payments are
received.

Loans Held for Sale

The Company originates
single family, residential first mortgage loans on a presold basis. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value in the aggregate as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. At closing, these loans, together with
their servicing rights, are sold to other financial institutions under prearranged terms. The Company recognizes certain origination and servicing release fees upon the sale which are classified as mortgage operations on the consolidated statements
of operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The
allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans are charged-off against the allowance when management believes that the collectibility of principal is unlikely. Recoveries of amounts previously
charged-off are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses relating to loans that are determined to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 is
based on discounted cash flows using the loans initial effective interest rate or the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that
are collectively evaluated for impairment (such as residential mortgage and consumer installment loans) are excluded from impairment evaluation, and their allowance for loan losses is calculated in accordance with the allowance for loan losses
policy described below.

The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is based on factors which, in managements judgment, deserve
current recognition in estimating probable loan losses. Such factors considered by management include growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans and economic conditions. While
management uses the best information available to make evaluations, 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 the
Companys allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Premises and
equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:



|                        |  |                                  
|----------------------- |  | ---------------------------------
|Buildings               |  | 15 - 40 years                    
|Leasehold improvements  |  | Shorter of lease term or 15 years
|Furniture and equipment |  | 3 - 10 years                     

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure,
valuations are periodically performed by management to ensure the assets are carried at fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and the impact of any subsequent changes in the carrying value are included in other
noninterest expense.

Stock in Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta

As a requirement for membership, the Company invests in stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB). This investment is carried at cost. Due to the redemption provisions of the FHLB, the Company
estimated that fair value equals cost and that this investment was not impaired at December 31, 2008.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets
and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. These temporary differences are multiplied by the enacted income tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes become payable or receivable. The effect on deferred
taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by the amount of such benefits that are not expected to be realized based on available evidence.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined
as the change in equity during a period for non-owner transactions and is composed of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes revenues, expenses, gains and losses that are excluded from earnings under current
accounting standards. As of and for the years presented, the components of other comprehensive income for the Company consisted of the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, in the Companys available for sale securities portfolio and
unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, for the Companys cash flow hedging activity.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 consists of the following:

Stock Compensation Plans

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

Since the Companys stock options had vested prior to January 1, 2006, there was no impact on income from the adoption of SFAS 123R. Cash flows provided by financing activities from the exercise of stock options amounted to $1.3
million, $279,000 and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 respectively.

Net Income Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net income per share has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period after retroactively adjusting for all applicable declared stock splits effected in
the form of stock dividends. Diluted net income per share reflect additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the
assumed issuance. At December 31, 2008 there were 148,228 antidilutive options. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, there were no antidilutive options.

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

Segment Reporting

SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires management to report selected financial and descriptive information about reportable operating segments. It also establishes standards
for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. Generally, disclosures are required for segments internally identified to evaluate performance and resource allocation. In all material respects, the
Companys operations are entirely within the commercial banking segment, and the consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect the results of that segment. Also, the Company has no foreign operations or customers.

Derivative Instruments

Interest rate swaps are contractual
agreements between two parties to exchange a series of cash flows representing interest payments. A swap allows both parties to alter the repricing characteristics of assets or liabilities without affecting the underlying principal positions.
Through the use of a swap, assets and liabilities may be transformed from fixed to floating rates, from floating rates to fixed rates or from one type of floating rate to another.

The net interest payable or receivable on interest rate swaps that are designated as hedges is accrued and recognized as an adjustment to the interest income or expense of the related asset or liability. Gains and
losses from early terminations of derivatives are deferred and amortized as yield adjustments over the shorter of the remaining term of the hedged asset or liability or the remaining term of the derivative instrument. Upon disposition or settlement
of the asset or liability being hedged, deferral accounting is discontinued and any gains or losses are recognized in income. Unrealized holding gains and losses on derivatives designated as hedges are reported, net of applicable income tax effect,
in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Derivative financial instruments that fail to qualify as a hedge are carried at fair value with gains and
losses recognized in current earnings.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS 141 (R) will significantly change how entities apply the acquisition method to business combinations. The most significant
changes affecting how the corporation will account for business combinations under this Statement include: the acquisition date will be the date the acquirer obtains control; all (and only) identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and
noncontrolling interests in the acquiree will be stated at fair value on the acquisition date; assets or liabilities arising from noncontractual contingencies will be measured at their acquisition date fair value only if it is more likely than not
that they meet the definition of an asset or liability on the acquisition date; adjustments subsequently made to the provisional amounts recorded on the acquisition date will be made retroactively during a measurement period not to exceed one year;
acquisition-related restructuring costs that do not meet the criteria in SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, will be expensed as incurred; transaction costs will be expensed as incurred; reversals
of deferred income tax valuation allowances and income tax contingencies will be recognized in earnings subsequent to the measurement period; and the allowance for loan losses of an acquiree will not be permitted to be recognized by the acquirer.
Additionally, SFAS 141 (R) will require new and modified disclosures surrounding subsequent changes to acquisition-related contingencies, contingent consideration, noncontrolling interests, acquisition-related transaction costs, fair values and
cash flows not expected to be collected for acquired loans, and enhanced goodwill rollforward.

The Company will be required to prospectively apply SFAS
141 (R) to all business combinations completed on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. Management is currently evaluating the effects of SFAS 141 (R) will have on the financial condition, results of operations,
liquidity, and the disclosures that will be presented in the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about how and why derivative instruments are used, how derivative instruments and related hedge items affect the balance sheet,
income statement and statement of cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 will not have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

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

category and length of time that the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at December 31, 2008 and 2007. All unrealized losses on investment securities are considered by management to be temporarily impaired
given the credit ratings on these investment securities and the short duration of the unrealized loss.

the fair value of the stock on the date of grant. The Board originally reserved 326,700 shares of authorized and unissued stock for grant.

In 2004, the
Board of Directors and shareholders of the Company approved the MidCarolina Financial Corporation Omnibus Stock Ownership and Long Term Incentive Plan (2004 Omnibus Plan) for officers and key employees. Under the provisions of the 2004
Omnibus Plan, Rights (as defined in the 2004 Omnibus Plan) are awarded at the discretion of an administrative committee appointed by the Board of Directors at the fair value of the stock on the date of grant. The Board reserved 412,500 shares of

During 1998, the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Bank approved a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for
certain original directors of the Bank, and 326,700 shares of authorized and unissued stock were reserved for award. At adoption, all options were granted at a split-adjusted exercise price of $2.75 per share, the split-adjusted fair value of the
stock on the date of grant. Director options vested 100% on the date of grant. The options are granted for a ten-year term.

During 1998, the Board of

The risk-free interest rate is based upon a U.S. Treasury instrument with a life that is similar to the expected
life of the option grant. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company based upon the previous 3 years trading history. The expected term of the options is based upon the average life of previously issued stock options.
The expected dividend yield is based upon current yield on date of grant. No post-vesting restrictions exist for these options. The following table illustrates the assumptions for the Black-Scholes model used in determining the fair value of options
granted to employees in the year ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

The estimated average per share fair value of options granted, using the
Black-Scholes methodology, together with the assumptions used in estimating those fair values, are displayed below.

For the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the intrinsic value of options exercised was
approximately:



| |                |      |   |         |  |      |   |

| | $  2.6 Million |      | $ | 971,000 |  | $    | -

Cash received from options exercised under all share-based payment arrangements for year ended December 31,
2008 was approximately $792,000. The actual tax benefit in shareholders equity realized for the tax deduction from option exercise in the share-based payment arrangements totaled $498,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding options at December 31, 2008 was $276,000 which will be recognized over the vesting period of each award.

Note M - Officers Deferred Compensation

In
2002, the Company implemented a non-qualifying deferred compensation plan for certain key executive officers. The Company has purchased life insurance policies on the participating officers in order to offset the cost of benefit payments. Benefits
for each officer participating in the plan will accrue and vest during the period of employment, and will be paid in monthly benefit payments over the participants life after retirement. The plan also provides for payment of disability or
death benefits in the event a participating officer becomes permanently disabled or dies while employed at the Bank. Provisions of $180,000 in 2008, $278,000 in 2007, and $370,000 in 2006 were expensed for future benefits to be provided under this
plan. The total liability under this plan was $1.1 million at December 31, 2008 and $915,000 after the reversal of accrued benefits for a former executive officer at December 31, 2007, and is included in accrued expenses and other
liabilities in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.

Note N - Employment Agreement

The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain key officers to ensure a stable and competent management base. In the event of a change in control of the
Company, as defined in the agreements, the acquirer will be bound to the terms of the agreements.

Note O - Contingent Liabilities and Commitments

The Companys consolidated financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities which arise in the normal course of business and which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate
risk and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities are commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and commitments to sell loans.

A
summary of the Companys commitments and contingent liabilities at December 31, 2008 is as follows (amounts in thousands):



|                                                                                                |  |      |       
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |  | ---- | ------
|                                                                                                |  | 2008
|Unfunded commitments to extend credit under existing equity line and commercial lines of credit |  | $    | 71,077
|Commitments to sell loans held for sale                                                         |  |      | -     
|Financial standby letters of credit, net                                                        |  |      | 3,582 

Commitments to originate new loans or extend credit and letters of credit all include exposure to some credit loss
in the event of nonperformance by the customer. The Companys credit policies and procedures for credit commitments are the same as those for extensions of credit that are recorded in the balance sheets. Because these instruments have fixed
maturity dates, and because many of them expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Company. The Company has not incurred any losses on its commitments in 2008, 2007 or 2006.

The capital and credit markets have experienced volatility for more than a year. More recently, the volatility and disruption has increased, and the markets have
produced a downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for many issuers without regard to their underlying financial strength. This has been particularly the case with respect to financial institutions, and the market prices of the
stock of financial services companies in general, including the Companys, are at their lowest levels in recent history. If current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, there can be no assurance that we will not
experience an adverse effect, which may be material, on the Companys ability to access capital and on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Commitments to sell loans held for sale are agreements to sell loans to a third party at an agreed upon price. The aggregate fair value of the commitments is immaterial.

Financial standby letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters
of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

Note P - Shareholders Equity

Regulatory Matters

As a North Carolina banking corporation, the Bank
may pay cash dividends to the Company only out of undivided profits as determined pursuant to North Carolina banking laws. However, regulatory authorities may limit payment of dividends when it is determined that such a limitation is in the public
interest and is necessary to ensure a banks financial soundness.

The Bank is subject to the capital requirements of the FDIC. The FDIC requires the
Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Tier I capital to total risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 4% and 8%, respectively. To be well-capitalized, the FDIC requires ratios of Tier I capital to risk-weighted
assets and total

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS

capital to risk-weighted assets of 6% and 10%, respectively. Tier I capital consists of total shareholders equity calculated in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America less intangible assets, and total capital is comprised of Tier I capital plus certain adjustments, the only one of which applicable to the Bank is the allowance for loan
losses. Risk-weighted assets refer to the on- and off-balance sheet exposures of the Bank adjusted for their relative risk levels using formulas set forth in FDIC regulations. The Bank is also subject to a FDIC leverage capital requirement, which
calls for a minimum ratio of Tier I capital to quarterly average total assets of 4% and a ratio of 5% to be well-capitalized.

As of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Banks capital ratios exceeded levels deemed well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no events or conditions since the notification that management
believes have changed the Banks category.

The Company is also subject to these capital requirements except for the prompt corrective action requirements of
the FDIC. At December 31, 2008, the Companys total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier I capital to average assets were 11.27%, 10.05% and 8.77%, respectively. At December 31, 2007, the
Companys total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier I capital to average assets were 11.52%, 10.41% and 8.99%, respectively.

Note Q - Derivatives

Although off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments do not expose the Company to credit
risk equal to the notional amount, such agreements generate credit risk to the extent of the fair value gain in an off-balance sheet derivative financial instrument if the counterparty fails to perform. Such risk is minimized through the
creditworthiness of the counterparties and the consistent monitoring of these agreements. The counterparties to these arrangements were primarily large commercial banks and investment banks. Where appropriate, master netting agreements are arranged
or collateral is obtained in the form of rights to securities. On August 14, 2006, the Company determined that the derivatives did not meet the hedge accounting qualifications and hedge accounting was immediately discontinued and the derivative
was sold. The impact of the transaction was immaterial to the financial statements.

Note R - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires a company to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments, whether or
not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practical to estimate that value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006



Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial
instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Companys entire holding of a particular financial instrument. In cases where quoted market prices are not available,
fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized
gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates. Finally, the fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

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

Cash and Due from Banks, Federal Funds Sold and Interest-Earning Deposits

The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits approximate fair value because of the short
maturities of those instruments. These instruments are considered cash and cash equivalents.

Investment Securities

Fair value for investment securities, excluding FHLB stock, is based on quoted market price if such information is available. If a quoted market price is not available,
fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. The carrying value of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB.

Loans Held for Sale

Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or
prevailing market prices.

Loans

For certain
homogenous categories of loans, such as residential mortgages, fair value is estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair value of other types of loans is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Investment in Life Insurance

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

Deposits, Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt

Deposits and short-term borrowings without a stated maturity, or insignificant term to maturity, including demand, interest bearing demand, savings accounts and FHLB
borrowings are reported at their carrying value in accordance with SFAS 107. No value has been assigned to the franchise value of deposits. For other types of deposits and long-term debt, with fixed rates and longer maturities is estimated based
upon the discounted value of projected future cash outflows using the rates currently offered for instruments of similar remaining maturities.

Accrued
Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable are assumed to
approximate fair values.

Note S - Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) and SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities, including an amendment for FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). The effect of adopting these two pronouncements was not material to the financial statements.

SFAS 157 defines fair value establishes a framework for measuring fair value according to generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. This statement establishes a three level fair value hierarchy that is fully described below. While this standard does not require any financial instruments to be measured at fair value the provisions of the statement must be
applied in situations where other accounting pronouncements either permit or require fair value measurement. The Company reports fair value on a recurring basis for certain financial instruments, most notably for available for sale investment
securities and certain derivative instruments in compliance with the provisions of SFAS 157. The Company may be required, from time to time, to

measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at
fair value which was below cost at the end of the period. Assets subject to nonrecurring use of fair value measurements could include loans held for sale, goodwill, and foreclosed assets. At December 31, 2008, the Company had certain impaired
loans and foreclosed assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

In accordance with SFAS 157, we group our financial assets and
financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:



| |  |  | Level 1  Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury,
other U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party services for similar
or comparable assets or liabilities.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3  Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow
models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer, or brokered traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The Company utilizes a third party pricing service to provide valuations on its securities portfolio. Most of
these securities are U.S. government agency debt obligations and agency mortgage-backed securities traded in active markets. The third party valuations are determined based on the characteristics of each security (such as maturity, duration, rating,
etc.) and in reference to similar or comparable securities. The service indentifies 6 third-party vendors and 2 internal pricing models they consider level 2 pricing. The service indentifies 2 models that provide level 3 pricing applying discounted
cash flow modeling. As of December 31, 2008, 3 securities comprised of two private label mortgage backed securities and one floating rate debenture, were priced using level 3 modeling and or estimated values provided by their trading desk
heavily influenced by unobservable inputs.

SFAS 159 allows an entity to make an irrevocable election to measure certain financial instruments at fair
value. The changes in fair value from one reporting period to the next period must be reported in the income statement with additional disclosures to identify the effect on net income. The Company continued to account for securities available for
sale at fair value as reported in prior years which is required by SFAS 115. Upon adoption of SFAS 159, no additional financial assets or liabilities were reported at fair value and there was no material effect on earnings.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Loans

The Company records loans in the ordinary
course of business and does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. Loans are considered impaired when it is determined to be probable that all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected when due. Loans
considered individually impaired are evaluated under the provisions of SFAS 114 and a specific allowance is established if required based on the most appropriate of the three measurement methods: present value of expected future cash flows, fair
value of collateral, or the observable market price of a loan method. A specific allowance is required if the fair value of the expected repayments or the collateral is less than the recorded investment in the loan. At December 31, 2008, loans
with a book value of $4.0 million were evaluated for impairment. Of this total, $3.3 million required a specific allowance totaling $520 thousand for a net fair value of $2.8 million. The methods used to determine the fair value of these loans were
generally either the present value of expected future cash flows or fair value of collateral and were considered level three.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed and repossessed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to the Companys books. Subsequently, foreclosed and
repossessed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or managements estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value
of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Corporation records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the
collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Corporation records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

The table below presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
