First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

Note A

Accounting Policies and Other Matters

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (BancShares) as of and for each of the periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in BancShares’ 2010 Form 10-K. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with statement presentations for 2011. The reclassifications have no effect on shareholders’ equity or net income as previously reported. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the transaction as additional information regarding closing date fair values becomes available. We have increased previously reported amounts of net income and retained earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2010 by $2,005 as a result of adjustments made to the fair value of assets acquired in the first quarter of 2010.

FDIC-Assisted Transactions

US GAAP requires that the acquisition method of accounting be used for all business combinations, including those resulting from FDIC-assisted transactions and that an acquirer be identified for each business combination. Under US GAAP, the acquirer is the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination, and the acquisition date is the date the acquirer achieves control. US GAAP requires that the acquirer recognize the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date. In addition, acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs are recognized as period expenses as incurred.

During 2011, 2010 and 2009, BancShares’ wholly-owned subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (FCB), acquired assets and assumed liabilities of five entities as noted below (collectively referred to as “the Acquisitions”) with the assistance of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which had been appointed Receiver of each entity by its respective state banking authority.

 

Name of entity

  

Headquarters location

  

Date of transaction

United Western Bank (United Western)    Denver, Colorado    January 21, 2011
Sun American Bank (SAB)    Boca Raton, Florida    March 5, 2010
First Regional Bank (First Regional)    Los Angeles, California    January 29, 2010
Venture Bank (VB)    Lacey, Washington    September 11, 2009
Temecula Valley Bank (TVB)    Temecula, California    July 17, 2009

The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded at estimated fair value. Management made significant estimates and exercised significant judgment in accounting for the Acquisitions. Management judgmentally assigned risk ratings to loans based on credit quality, appraisals and estimated collateral values, estimated expected cash flows, and applied appropriate liquidity and coupon discounts to measure fair values for loans. Other real estate acquired through foreclosure was valued based upon pending sales contracts and appraised values, adjusted for current market conditions. FCB also recorded identifiable intangible assets representing the estimated values of the assumed core deposits and other customer relationships. Management used quoted or current market prices to determine the fair value of investment securities. Fair values of short-term borrowings and long-term obligations were estimated inclusive of any prepayment penalties.

Loans and Leases

Loans and leases that are held for investment purposes are carried at the principal amount outstanding. Interest on substantially all loans is accrued and credited to interest income on a constant yield basis based upon the daily principal amount outstanding.

Loans that are classified as held for sale represent mortgage loans originated or purchased and are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are included in mortgage income.

Acquired loans are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. The fair values are recorded net of a nonaccretable difference and, if appropriate, an accretable yield. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is the nonaccretable difference, which is included as a reduction to the carrying amount of acquired loans. Subsequent decreases to expected cash flows will generally result in recognition of an allowance by a charge to provision for loan and lease losses. Any excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan when there is a reasonable expectation regarding the amount and timing of such cash flows. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows result in either a reversal of the provision for loan and lease losses to the extent of prior charges, or a reclassification of the difference from nonaccretable to accretable with a positive impact on the accretable yield.

BancShares did not initially estimate the amount and timing of cash flows for loans acquired from TVB and VB at the dates of the acquisitions and, therefore, the cost recovery method is being applied to these loans. Cash flow analyses were performed on loans acquired from First Regional, SAB, and United Western in order to determine the cash flows expected to be collected. Loans from these transactions that were determined to be impaired at acquisition date are accruing interest under the accretion method and are, thus not reported as nonaccrual. BancShares is accounting for substantially all acquired loans on a loan level basis since the majority of the portfolios acquired consist of large non-homogeneous commercial loans.

Receivable from FDIC for Loss Share Agreements

The receivable from the FDIC for loss share agreements is measured separately from the related covered assets as it is not contractually embedded in the assets and is not transferable should the assets be sold. Fair value at acquisition was estimated using projected cash flows related to the loss share agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses using the applicable loss share percentages and the estimated true-up payment at the expiration of the loss share agreements, if applicable. These cash flows were discounted to reflect the estimated timing of the receipt of the loss share reimbursements from the FDIC and any applicable true-up payment owed to the FDIC for transactions that include claw-back provisions. The FDIC receivable has been reviewed and updated prospectively as loss estimates related to covered loans and other real estate owned change, and as reimbursements are received or expected to be received from the FDIC. Post-acquisition adjustments to the FDIC receivable are charged or credited to noninterest income.

Other Real Estate Owned Covered by Loss Share Agreements

Other real estate owned (OREO) covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC is reported exclusive of expected reimbursement cash flows from the FDIC. Subsequent downward adjustments to the estimated recoverable value of covered OREO result in a reduction of covered OREO, a charge to other noninterest expense and an increase in the FDIC receivable for the estimated amount to be reimbursed, with a corresponding amount recorded as an adjustment to other noninterest income. OREO is presented at the estimated present value that management expects to receive when the property is sold, net of related costs of disposal. Management used appraisals of properties to determine fair values and applied additional discounts where appropriate for passage of time or, in certain cases, for subsequent events occurring after the appraisal date.

Recently Adopted Accounting Policies and Other Regulatory Issues

In July 2010, the FASB issued Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Loss (ASU 2010-20). In an effort to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about the allowance for loan and lease losses, ASU 2010-20 requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of credit risk inherent in the portfolio, how risk is analyzed and assessed in determining the amount of the allowance, and descriptions of any changes in the allowance calculation. The end-of-period disclosures were effective for BancShares on December 31, 2010 with the exception of disclosures related to troubled debt restructurings which become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2011. The disclosures related to activity during a period are effective during 2011. The provisions of ASU 2010-20 have affected disclosures regarding the allowance for loan and lease losses, but have had no impact on financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Federally Assisted Transactions

On January 21, 2011, FCB entered into an agreement with the FDIC, as Receiver, to purchase substantially all the assets and assume the majority of the liabilities of United Western Bank (United Western) of Denver, Colorado at a discount of $213,000 with no deposit premium. United Western operated in Denver, Colorado, with eight branch locations in Boulder, Centennial, Cherry Creek, downtown Denver, Hampden at Interstate 25, Fort Collins, Longmont and Loveland. The Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the FDIC includes loss share agreements on the covered loans and other real estate purchased by FCB which provides protection against losses to FCB.

Loss share agreements between the FDIC and FCB (one for single family residential mortgage loans and the other for all other loans and OREO excluding Consumer loans) provide significant loss protection to FCB for all non-consumer loans and OREO. Under the loss share agreement for single family residential mortgage loans (SFRs), the FDIC will cover 80 percent of covered loan losses up to $32,489; 0 percent from $32,489 up to $57,653 and 80 percent of losses in excess of $57,653. The loss share agreement for all other non-consumer loans and OREO will cover 80 percent of covered loan and OREO losses up to $111,517; 30 percent of losses from $111,517 to $227,032; and 80 percent of losses in excess of $227,032. Consumer loans are not covered under the FDIC loss share agreements.

The SFR loss share agreement covers losses recorded during the ten years following the date of the transaction, while the term for the loss share agreement covering all other covered loans and OREO is five years. The SFR loss share agreement also covers recoveries received for ten years following the date of the transaction, while recoveries of all other covered loans and OREO will be shared with the FDIC for a five-year period. The losses reimbursable by the FDIC are based on the book value of the relevant loan as determined by the FDIC at the date of the transaction. New loans made after that date are not covered by the loss share agreements.

The loss share agreements include a true-up payment in the event FCB’s losses do not reach the Total Intrinsic Loss Estimate of $294,000. On March 17, 2021, the true-up measurement date, FCB is required to make a true-up payment to the FDIC equal to 50 percent of the excess, if any, of the following calculation: A-(B+C+D), where (A) equals 20 percent of the Total Intrinsic Loss Estimate, or $58,800; (B) equals 20 percent of the Net Loss Amount; (C) equals 25 percent of the asset (discount) bid, or ($52,898); and (D) equals 3.5 percent of total Shared Loss Assets at Bank Closing, or $37,936. Current loss estimates suggest that a true-up payment of $11,423 will be paid to the FDIC during 2021.

The FDIC-assisted acquisition of United Western was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The statement of net assets acquired, adjustments to the acquisition date fair values made in the second quarter and the resulting acquisition gain is presented in the following table. As indicated in the explanatory notes that accompany the following table, the purchased assets, assumed liabilities and identifiable intangible assets were recorded at their respective acquisition date estimated fair values. Fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the transaction as additional information regarding closing date fair values becomes available. During this one year period, the cause of any change in cash flow estimates is considered to determine whether the change results from circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or if the change results from an event that occurred after the acquisition. Adjustments to the estimated fair values made in the second quarter were based on additional information regarding the acquisition date fair values, which included updated appraisals on properties that either secure an acquired loan or are in OREO. The FDIC also repurchased 18 loans that were included in the original acquisition but which FCB had requested be excluded from the portfolio of acquired loans due to cross collateralization with other loans retained by the FDIC.

First quarter 2011 noninterest income includes a bargain purchase gain of $64,984 that resulted from the United Western FDIC-assisted acquisition. The gain resulted from the difference between the estimated fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. During the second quarter of 2011, adjustments were made to the gain based on additional information regarding the acquisition date fair values. These second quarter adjustments were made retroactive to the first quarter of 2011, resulting in an adjusted gain of $64,984. FCB recorded a deferred tax liability for the gain of $25,448 resulting from differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in this transaction. To the extent there are additional adjustments to the acquisition date fair values for up to one year following the acquisition; there will be additional adjustments to the gain.

Explanation of fair value adjustments

a - Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustments based on FCB’s evaluation of the acquired loan portfolio.

b - Adjustment reflects the estimated OREO losses based on FCB’s evaluation of the acquired OREO.

c - Adjustment reflects the estimated fair value of payments FCB will receive from the FDIC under the loss share agreements.

d - Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustment based on evaluation of mortgage servicing rights.

e - Adjustment reflects the estimated value of intangible assets, which includes core deposit intangibles.

f - Adjustment reflects amount needed to adjust the carrying value of other assets to estimated fair value.

g - Adjustment reflects the amount of the prepayment penalty assessed on early payoff of long-term obligations.

h - Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustment on FCB’s evaluation of the deferred tax liability assumed in the transaction.

i - Adjustment to acquisition date fair value based on additional information received post-acquisition regarding acquisition date fair value and adjustments resulting from loans repurchased by the FDIC.

Results of operations for United Western prior to its acquisition date are not included in the income statement.

Due to the significant amount of fair value adjustments, the resulting accretion of those fair value adjustments and the protection resulting from the FDIC loss share agreements, historical results of United Western are not relevant to BancShares’ results of operations. Therefore, no pro forma information is presented.

On July 8, 2011, FCB entered into an agreement with the FDIC to purchase substantially all the assets and assume the majority of the liabilities of Colorado Capital Bank (CCB) of Castle Rock, Colorado at a discount of $154,900, with no deposit premium. The FDIC serves as Receiver of CCB. The Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the FDIC includes loss share agreements on the loans and OREO purchased by FCB which provides protection against losses to FCB.

Table of Contents

The loans and OREO purchased from CCB are covered by two loss share agreements between the FDIC and FCB (one for single family residential mortgage loans and the other for all other loans and OREO excluding consumer loans and CD secured loans), which afford FCB significant loss protection. Under the loss share agreements, the FDIC will cover 80 percent of combined covered loan losses up to $230,991; 0 percent from $230,991 up to $285,947; and 80 percent of losses in excess of $285,947.

CCB operated in Castle Rock, Colorado, and in six branch locations in Boulder, Castle Pines, Cherry Creek, Colorado Springs, Edwards, and Parker.

The acquisition of CCB is being accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The reported balances of significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date are presented in the following table. These amounts are based on the FDIC settlement and do not include adjustments to reflect the assets and liabilities at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The calculations to determine fair values were incomplete at the time of filing of this Form 10-Q. In addition to the assets and liabilities listed below BancShares received $103,478 in cash from the FDIC at settlement.

Investments in residential mortgage-backed securities represent primarily securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, Federal National Mortgage Association, and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation.

Investments in corporate bonds represent debt securities that were issued by various financial institutions under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. These debt obligations were issued with the full faith and credit of the United States of America. The guarantee for these securities is triggered when an issuer defaults on a scheduled payment.

The following table provides maturity information for investment securities as of the dates indicated. Callable securities are assumed to mature on their earliest call date.

Investment securities with an aggregate fair value of $2,050 have had continuous unrealized losses for more than twelve months as of June 30, 2011 with an aggregate unrealized loss of $76. These 18 investments include residential mortgage-backed and state, county and municipal securities. None of the unrealized losses identified as of June 30, 2011 relate to the marketability of the securities or the issuer’s ability to honor redemption obligations. For all periods presented, BancShares had the ability and intent to retain these securities for a period of time sufficient to recover all unrealized losses. Therefore, none of the securities were deemed to be other than temporarily impaired.

Investment securities having an aggregate carrying value of $2,684,107 at June 30, 2011, $2,096,850 at December 31, 2010 and $1,694,084 at June 30, 2010 were pledged as collateral to secure public funds on deposit, to secure certain short-term borrowings and for other purposes as required by law.

Description of segment and class risks

Each portfolio segment and the classes within those segments are subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on the credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio. Management has identified the most significant risks as described below which are generally similar among the segments and classes. While the list in not exhaustive, it provides a description of the risks that management has determined are the most significant.

Commercial loans and leases

Each commercial loan or lease is centrally underwritten based primarily upon the customer’s ability to generate the required cash flow to service the debt in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the loan agreement. A complete understanding of the borrower’s businesses including the experience and background of the principals is obtained prior to approval. To the extent that the loan or lease is secured by collateral, which is a predominant feature of the majority of commercial loans and leases, an understanding of the likely value of the collateral and what level of strength the collateral brings to the transaction is evaluated. To the extent that the principals or other parties provide personal guarantees, the relative financial strength and liquidity of each guarantor is assessed. Common risks to each class of commercial loans include risks that are not specific to individual transactions such as general economic conditions within the markets BancShares serves, as well as risks that are specific to each transaction including demand for products and services, personal events such as disability or change in marital status, and reductions in the value of collateral. Due to the concentration of loans in the medical, dental, and related fields, BancShares is susceptible to risks that legislative and governmental actions will fundamentally alter the economic structure of the medical care industry in the United States.

In addition to these common risks for the majority of commercial loans and leases, additional risks are inherent in certain classes of commercial loans and leases.

Commercial construction and land development

Commercial construction and land development loans are highly dependent on the supply and demand for commercial real estate in the markets served by BancShares as well as the demand for newly constructed residential homes and lots that customers are developing. Continuing deterioration in demand could result in significant decreases in the underlying collateral values and make repayment of the outstanding loans more difficult for customers.

Commercial mortgage, commercial and industrial and lease financing

Commercial mortgage and commercial and industrial loans and lease financing are primarily dependent on the ability of borrowers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at loan origination resulting in cash flow sufficient to service the debt. To the extent that a customer’s business results are significantly unfavorable versus the original projections, the ability for the loan to be serviced on a basis consistent with the contractual terms may be at risk. While these loans and leases are generally secured by real property, personal property, or business assets such as inventory or accounts receivable, it is possible that the liquidation of the collateral will not fully satisfy the obligation.

Other commercial real estate

Other commercial real estate loans consist primarily of loans secured by multifamily housing and agricultural loans. The primary risk associated with multifamily loans is the ability of the income-producing property that collateralizes the loan to produce adequate cash flow to service the debt. High unemployment or generally weak economic conditions may result in customers having to provide rental rate concessions to achieve adequate occupancy rates. The performance of agricultural loans is highly dependent on favorable weather, reasonable costs for seed and fertilizer, and the ability to successfully market the product at a profitable margin. The demand for these products is also dependent on macroeconomic conditions that are beyond the control of the borrower.

Non-commercial loans

Each non-commercial loan is centrally underwritten using automated credit scoring and analysis tools. These credit scoring tools take into account factors such as payment history, credit utilization, length of credit history, types of credit currently in use, and recent credit inquiries. To the extent that the loan is secured by collateral, the likely value of that collateral is evaluated. Common risks to each class of non-commercial loans include risks that are not specific to individual transactions such as general economic conditions within the markets BancShares serves, particularly unemployment and potential declines in real estate values. Personal events such as disability or change in marital status also add risk to non-commercial loans.

In addition to these common risks for the majority of non-commercial loans, additional risks are inherent in certain classes of non-commercial loans.

 

16


Table of Contents

Revolving mortgage

Revolving mortgage loans are often secured by second liens on residential real estate, thereby making such loans particularly susceptible to declining collateral values. A substantial decline in collateral value could render a second lien position to be effectively unsecured. Additional risks include lien perfection inaccuracies and disputes with first lienholders that may further weaken the collateral position. Further, the open-end structure of these loans creates the risk that customers may draw on the lines in excess of the collateral value if there have been significant declines since origination.

Consumer

The consumer loan portfolio includes loans secured by personal property such as automobiles, marketable securities, other titled recreational vehicles including boats and motorcycles, as well as unsecured consumer debt. The value of underlying collateral within this class is especially volatile due to potential rapid depreciation in values since date of loan origination in excess of principal repayment.

Residential mortgage and non-commercial construction and land development

Residential mortgage and non-commercial construction and land development loans are made to individuals and are typically secured by 1-4 family residential property, undeveloped land, and partially developed land in anticipation of pending construction of a personal residence. Significant and rapid declines in real estate values can result in residential mortgage loan borrowers having debt levels in excess of the current market value of the collateral. Such a decline in values has led to unprecedented levels of foreclosures and losses within the banking industry. Non-commercial construction and land development projects can experience delays in completion and cost overruns that exceed the borrower’s financial ability to complete the project. Such cost overruns can routinely result in foreclosure of partially completed and unmarketable collateral.

Covered loans

The risks associated with covered loans are generally consistent with the risks identified for commercial and non-commercial loans and the classes of loans within those segments. An additional risk with respect to covered loans relates to the FDIC loss share agreements, specifically the ability to receive timely and full reimbursement from the FDIC for losses and related expenses that are believed to be covered by the loss share agreements. Further, these loans were underwritten by other institutions with weaker lending standards. Therefore, there is a significant risk that the loans are not adequately supported by the paying capacity of the borrower or the values of underlying collateral at the time of origination.

Credit quality indicators

Loans and leases are monitored for credit quality on a recurring basis. The credit quality indicators used are dependent on the portfolio segment to which the loan relates. Commercial loans and leases, non-commercial loans and leases, and covered loans have different credit quality indicators as a result of the methods used to monitor each of these loan segments.

The credit quality indicators for commercial loans and leases and covered loans and leases are developed through review of individual borrowers on an ongoing basis. Each borrower is evaluated at least annually with more frequent evaluation of more severely criticized loans or leases. The indicators represent the rating for loans or leases as of the date presented based on the most recent assessment performed. These credit quality indicators are defined as follows:

Pass – A pass rated asset is not adversely classified because it does not display any of the characteristics for adverse classification.

Special mention – A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, such potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not warrant adverse classification.

Substandard – A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets classified as substandard generally have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These assets are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – An asset classified doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in an asset classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values.

 

17


Table of Contents

Loss – Assets classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuing to be carried as an asset is not warranted. This classification is not necessarily equivalent to no potential for recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not appropriate to defer a full write-off even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

Ungraded – Ungraded loans represent loans that are not included in the individual credit grading process due to their relatively small balances or borrower type. The majority of noncovered, ungraded loans at June 30, 2011 relate to business credit cards and tobacco buyout loans. Tobacco buyout loans with an outstanding balance of $61,618 at June 30, 2011 are secured by assignments of receivables made pursuant to the Fair and Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of 2004. The credit risk associated with these loans is considered low as the payments that began in 2005 and continue through 2014 are to be made by the Commodity Credit Corporation which is part of the United States Department of Agriculture.

The credit quality indicators for noncovered, non-commercial loans are based on the delinquency status of the borrower. As the borrower becomes more delinquent, the likelihood of loss increases.

Table of Contents

The aging of the outstanding loans and leases, by class, at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (excluding loans impaired at acquisition date) is provided in the table below. The calculation of days past due begins on the day after payment is due and includes all days through which all required interest or principal have not been paid. Loans and leases 30 days or less past due are considered current due to certain grace periods that allow borrowers to make payments within a stated period after the due date and still remain in compliance with the loan agreement.

  (1) Adjustments related to acquisition date fair values shown herein in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income as an adjustment to the gain on acquisitions recorded in the first quarter of 2011.

The receivable from the FDIC for loss share agreements is measured separately from the related covered assets and is recorded at fair value. The fair value was estimated using projected cash flows related to the loss share agreements based on the expected reimbursements for losses and the applicable loss share percentages.

                             Post-acquisition adjustments represent the net change in loss estimates related to covered loans and OREO as a result of changes in estimated fair values and the allowance for loan and lease losses related to covered loans. For loans covered by loss share agreements, subsequent decreases in the amount expected to be collected from the borrower or collateral liquidation result in a provision for loan and lease losses, an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses, and a proportional adjustment to the receivable from the FDIC for the estimated amount to be reimbursed. Subsequent increases in the amount expected to be collected from the borrower or collateral liquidation result in the reversal of any previously recorded provision for loan and lease losses and related allowance for loan and lease losses and adjustments to the receivable from the FDIC, or prospective adjustment to the accretable yield and the related receivable from the FDIC if no provision for loan and lease losses had been recorded previously. Adjustments related to acquisition date fair values, made within one year after the closing date of the respective acquisition, are reflected in the acquisition gain.

Note G

Estimated Fair Values

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about each financial instrument. Where information regarding the fair value of a financial instrument is publicly available, those values are used, as is the case with investment securities, residential mortgage loans and certain long-term obligations. In these cases, an open market exists in which those financial instruments are actively traded.

Because no market exists for many financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. For financial instruments with a fixed interest rate, an analysis of the related cash flows is the basis for estimating fair values. The expected cash flows are discounted to the valuation date using an appropriate discount rate. The discount rates used represent the rates under which similar transactions would be currently negotiated. For financial instruments with fixed and variable rates, fair value estimates also consider the impact of liquidity discounts appropriate as of the measurement date.

Estimated fair values for certain financial assets and financial liabilities are provided in the following table:

The FHLB stock, which is redeemable only through the issuer, is carried at its par value. The investment in the FHLB stock is considered a long-term investment and its value is based on the ultimate recoverability of par value. Management has concluded that the investment in FHLB stock was not other-than-temporarily impaired for any period presented.

For off-balance sheet commitments and contingencies, carrying amounts are reasonable estimates of the fair values for such financial instruments. Carrying amounts include unamortized fee income and, in some cases, reserves for any credit losses from those financial instruments. These amounts are not material to BancShares’ financial position.

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements BancShares considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the specific assets or liabilities are sold and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing those assets or liabilities. As required under US GAAP, individual fair value estimates are ranked based on the relative reliability of the inputs used in the valuation. Fair values determined using level 1 inputs rely on active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. In situations where identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, fair values may be determined based on level 2 inputs, which exist when observable data exists for similar assets and

liabilities. Fair values for assets and liabilities that are not actively traded in observable markets are based on level 3 inputs, which are considered to be nonobservable. BancShares recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the respective reporting period.

Among BancShares’ assets and liabilities, investment securities available for sale and interest rate swaps accounted for as cash flow hedges are reported at their fair values on a recurring basis. Certain other assets are adjusted to their fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including loans held for sale, which are carried at the lower of cost or market. Impaired loans, OREO, goodwill and other intangible assets are periodically tested for impairment. Loans held for investment, deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term obligations are not reported at fair value. BancShares did not elect to voluntarily report any assets or liabilities at fair value.

For assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, the following table provides fair value information as of June 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010:

Table of Contents

Prices for US Treasury securities, government agency securities, corporate bonds and equity securities are readily available in the active markets in which those securities are traded and the resulting fair values are shown in the ‘Level 1 input’ column. Prices for mortgage-backed securities and state, county and municipal securities are obtained using the fair values of similar assets and the resulting fair values are shown in the ‘Level 2 input’ column. There were no assets or liabilities valued based on level 3 inputs at June 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 or June 30, 2010, and there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 inputs during the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

Under the terms of the existing cash flow hedge, BancShares pays a fixed payment to the counterparty in exchange for receipt of a variable payment that is determined based on the 3-month LIBOR rate. The fair value of the cash flow hedge is therefore based on projected LIBOR rates for the duration of the hedge,values that, while observable in the market, are subject to adjustment due to pricing considerations for the specific instrument.

For those investment securities available for sale with fair values that are determined by reliance on significant nonobservable inputs, the following table identifies the factors causing the change in fair value during the first six months of 2010:

There were no investment securities with fair values determined by reliance on significant nonobservable inputs during 2011.

No gains or losses were reported for the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 that relate to fair values estimated based on significant nonobservable inputs. The investment securities valued using level 3 inputs that were transferred out during the first quarter of 2010 result from changes in US GAAP adopted January 1, 2010 related to investments in the retained interest of a residual interest strip that resulted from an asset securitization.

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value and are therefore carried at fair value only when fair value is less than the asset cost. Certain impaired loans are also carried at fair value. For assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the following table provides fair value information as of June 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010:

The values of loans held for sale are based on prices observed for similar pools of loans. The values of impaired loans are determined by either the collateral value or the discounted present value of the expected cash flows. No financial liabilities were carried at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 or June 30, 2010.

OREO is measured and reported at fair value using Level 3 inputs for valuations based on nonobservable criteria. During the six month period ended June 30, 2011, foreclosures of other real estate not covered by loss share agreements totaled $13,636, all of which were valued using Level 3 inputs. Based on updates to Level 3 inputs, noncovered OREO with a fair value of $6,567 as of June 30, 2011 incurred write-downs that totaled $1,684 during the six month period ended June 30, 2011. Foreclosures of other real estate covered by loss share agreements totaled $64,144, all of which were valued using Level 3 inputs.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2010, foreclosures of other real estate not covered by loss share agreements totaled $16,217, all of which were valued using Level 3 inputs. Based on updates to Level 3 inputs, noncovered OREO with a fair value of $6,006 as of June 30, 2010 incurred write-downs that totaled $1,160 during the six month period ended June 30, 2010. Foreclosures of other real estate covered by loss share agreements totaled $39,342, all of which were valued using Level 3 inputs.

Commitments and Contingencies

In order to meet the financing needs of its customers, BancShares and its subsidiaries have financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and recourse obligations on mortgage loans sold. These instruments involve elements of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk.

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of fees. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. Established credit standards control the credit-risk exposure associated with these commitments. In some cases, BancShares requires that collateral be pledged to secure the commitment including cash deposits, securities and other assets. At June 30, 2011 BancShares had unused commitments totaling $5,801,539 compared to $5,364,451 at December 31 2010 and $5,233,707 at June 30, 2010.

Standby letters of credit are commitments guaranteeing performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are issued primarily to support public and private borrowing arrangements. In order to minimize its exposure, BancShares’ credit policies govern the issuance of standby letters of credit. At June 30 2011, December 31, 2010, and June 30, 2010, BancShares had standby letters of credit amounting to $69,969, $70,755 and $77,681, respectively. The credit risk related to the issuance of these letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to clients, and therefore, these letters of credit are collateralized when necessary.

Residential mortgage loans sold with limited recourse liability represent guarantees to repurchase the loans or repay a portion of the sale proceeds in the event of nonperformance by the borrower. The recourse period is generally 120 days or less. At June 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, BancShares has loans sold with recourse outstanding of approximately $147,572, $253,347 and $200,615 respectively on these mortgage loans. Any loans that are repurchased under the recourse obligation would carry the same credit risk as mortgage loans originated by the company and would be collateralized in the same manner.

BancShares and various subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various legal actions arising from their normal business activities in which damages in various amounts are claimed. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of management, any such liability will not have a material effect on BancShares’ consolidated financial statements.

During February 2011, United Western Bank, United Western’s parent company, United Western Bancorp, and five of their directors filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against the FDIC, the OTS and others, claiming that the seizure of United Western by the OTS and the subsequent appointment of the FDIC as receiver was illegal. The complaint requested the court to direct the OTS to remove the FDIC as receiver, return control of United Western to the plaintiffs, reimburse the plaintiffs for their costs and attorney fees and to award plaintiffs other relief as may be just and equitable. Neither BancShares nor FCB were named in the complaint. The defendants filed motions to dismiss all claims against them and, during June 2011, the Court dismissed all claims by the holding company and the individual directors, and it dismissed United Western Bank’s claim against the FDIC. However, the Court denied the motion to dismiss United Western Bank’s claim against the OTS, which permits that claim to proceed. It is unclear what impact, if any, the litigation will have on FCB or the assets acquired in the United Western transaction.

Derivatives

At June 30, 2011, BancShares had one interest rate swap that qualifies as a cash flow hedge under US GAAP. An additional interest rate swap that qualified as a cash flow hedge matured on June 30, 2011. The fair value of the derivative is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and the net change for both derivatives is included in other liabilities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The interest rate swaps are used for interest rate risk management purposes and convert variable-rate exposure on outstanding debt to a fixed rate. The interest rate swaps each have a notional amount of $115,000, representing the amount of variable-rate trust preferred capital securities issued during 2006. The 2006 interest rate swap hedged interest payments through June 2011 and required fixed-rate payments by BancShares at 7.125 percent in exchange for variable-rate payments of 175 basis points above 3-month LIBOR, which is equal to the interest paid to the holders of the trust preferred capital securities. The 2009 interest rate swap hedges interest payments from July 2011 through June 2016 and requires fixed-rate payments by BancShares at 5.50 percent in exchange for variable-rate payments of 175 basis points above 3-month LIBOR. As of June 30, 2011, collateral with a fair value of $14,691 was pledged to secure the existing obligation under the interest rate swaps. For both swaps, settlement occurs quarterly.

For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss due to changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument is included in other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion, representing the excess of the cumulative change in the fair value of the derivative over the cumulative change in expected future discounted cash flows on the hedged transaction, is recorded in the consolidated income statement. BancShares’ interest rate swaps have been fully effective since inception. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps have had no impact on net income. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, BancShares recognized interest expense of $2,931 and $2,951, respectively, resulting from incremental interest paid to the interest rate swap counterparty, none of which related to ineffectiveness.

Segment Disclosures

BancShares is a financial holding company headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina that offers full-service banking through a single wholly-owned banking subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (FCB), a North Carolina-chartered bank.

Prior to January 7, 2011, BancShares also offered full service banking services through another wholly-owned subsidiary, IronStone Bank (ISB), a federally-chartered thrift institution. On January 7, 2011 ISB was legally merged into FCB resulting in a single banking subsidiary of BancShares.

Prior to the merger, FCB and ISB were considered to be distinct operating segments. As a result of the merger and various organizational changes resulting from the merger, there is no longer a focus on the discrete financial measures of each entity. Therefore, BancShares now operates as one reportable segment.

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

INTRODUCTION

Management’s discussion and analysis of earnings and related financial data are presented to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (BancShares). This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes presented within this report. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Although certain amounts for prior years have been reclassified to conform to statement presentations for 2011, the reclassifications have no effect on shareholders’ equity or net income as previously reported. Unless otherwise noted, the terms we, us and BancShares refer to the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for BancShares.

FDIC-ASSISTED TRANSACTIONS

Participation in FDIC-assisted transactions has provided significant growth opportunities for BancShares during 2011, 2010, and 2009. These transactions have allowed us to significantly increase our presence in markets in which we presently operate, and to expand our banking presence to contiguous markets. Additionally, purchase discounts and fair value adjustments on acquired assets and assumed liabilities have resulted in significant acquisition gains. All of the FDIC-assisted transactions completed as of June 30, 2011 as well as the acquisition of Colorado Capital Bank (CCB) on July 8, 2011 include loss share agreements which protect us from a substantial portion of the credit and asset quality risk that we would otherwise incur.

Issues affecting comparability of financial statements. As estimated exposures related to the acquired assets covered by the loss share agreements change based on post-acquisition events, our adherence to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and accounting policy elections that we have made affect the comparability of our current results of operations to earlier periods. Adjustments affecting assets covered by loss share agreements are recorded on a gross basis. Consequential adjustments to the carrying value of the FDIC receivable that reflect the change in the estimated loss of the covered assets are recorded with an offset to noninterest income. Several of the key issues affecting comparability are as follows:

 

   

When post acquisition events suggest that the amount of cash flows we will ultimately receive for a loan covered by a loss share agreement is less than originally expected:

 

   

An allowance for loan and lease losses is established for the post-acquisition exposure that has emerged with a corresponding debit to provision for loan and lease losses;

 

   

The receivable from the FDIC is adjusted to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure with a corresponding credit to noninterest income;

 

   

When post acquisition events suggest that the amount of cash flows we will ultimately receive for a loan covered under a loss share agreement is greater than originally expected:

 

   

Any allowance for loan and lease losses that was previously established for post-acquisition exposure is reversed with a corresponding credit to provision for loan and lease losses; if no allowance was established in earlier periods, the amount of the improvement in the cash flow projection results in a reclassification from the nonaccretable difference created at the acquisition date to an accretable yield; the newly-identified accretable yield is accreted into income in future periods over the remaining life of the loan as a credit to interest income;

 

   

The receivable from the FDIC is adjusted to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure with a corresponding debit to noninterest income;

 

   

When actual payments received on loans are greater than initial estimates, large nonrecurring discount accretion may be recognized during a specific period; discount accretion is recognized as a credit to interest income.

Balance sheet impact. The 2011 transaction involving United Western represented the fifth transaction involving BancShares since July 17, 2009. Table 1 provides information regarding the five entities from which we have acquired assets and assumed liabilities in FDIC-assisted transactions during 2011, 2010 and 2009. Adjustments to acquisition date fair values are subject to change for one year following the closing date of each respective acquisition.

Although US GAAP allows for acquired loans to be accounted for in designated pools, we have elected to account for the majority of our acquired loans on a non-pooled basis. We made that election for loans acquired to date based on the average loan size and the lack of large numbers of homogenous loans. The non-pool election could potentially accentuate volatility in net interest income. We elected to account for a group of mortgage loans acquired with the United Western FDIC – assisted transaction on a pool basis. These loans had a fair value of $223.1 million at the date of acquisition.

Income statement impact. The five FDIC-assisted transactions created acquisition gains recognized at the time of the respective transaction. There were no acquisition gains recorded for the three month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, acquisition gains totaled $65.0 million compared to $136.0 million during the same periods of 2010. Additionally, the acquired loans, deposits and borrowings originated by the five banks have affected net interest income, provision for loan and lease losses and noninterest income. Increases to noninterest expense have resulted from incremental staffing and facility costs for the branch locations resulting from the FDIC-assisted transactions. Various fair value discounts and premiums that were previously recorded are being accreted and amortized into income over the life of the underlying asset or liability.

As previously discussed, post-acquisition changes that affect the amount of expected cash flows can result in recognition of provision for loan and lease losses or the reversal of previously-recognized provision for loan and lease losses. During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 total provision for loan losses related to acquired loans equaled $41.2 million and $73.8 million respectively compared to $16.6 million and $19.9 million during the same periods of 2010. Much of the increase in the provision for loan losses in 2011 relates to post-acquisition deterioration of covered loans acquired during the first quarter of 2010.

When actual loan payments are received prior to the assumed repayment, the accretion of discounts recorded on loan balances is accelerated. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, total discount accretion for loans for which a fair value discount had been recorded, equaled $71.1 million compared to $10.1 million during the same period of 2010. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, discount accretion totaled $122.8 million compared to $12.2 million during the same period of 2010. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 the amount of accretion income recorded that related to various post acquisition events including the prepayment of loans and settlement of loans for amounts exceeding original expected cash flows was $43.7 million and $73.0 million respectively. None of the accretion recorded in 2010 related to such events.

Unscheduled prepayment of loan balances and post-acquisition deterioration of covered loans also result in adjustments to the FDIC receivable for changes in the estimated amount that would be covered under the respective loss share agreement. During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, the adjustment to the FDIC receivable resulting from large unscheduled payments and other favorable adjustments exceeded the amount of the adjustment for post-acquisition deterioration, resulting in a net reduction to the FDIC receivable and a net charge of $15.5 million and $24.1 million respectively to noninterest income compared to a net increase in the receivable of $12.9 million and $13.7 million during the same periods of 2010. The result is a net decrease in noninterest income of $26,7 million and $39.7 million for the three-month and six-month periods, respectively, as a result of the change in these amounts.

On January 21, 2011, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (FCB) entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the FDIC to purchase substantially all the assets and assume the majority of the liabilities of United Western, headquartered in Denver, Colorado.

Table 2 identifies the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the fair value adjustments, the amounts recorded by FCB, and the calculation of the gain recognized.

Loans and OREO purchased from United Western are covered by two loss share agreements between the FDIC and FCB (one for single family residential mortgage loans and the other for all other non-consumer loans and OREO), which afford FCB significant loss protection. Under the loss share agreement for single family residential mortgage loans (SFRs), the FDIC will cover 80 percent of covered loan losses up to $32.5 million; 0 percent of losses from $32.5 million to $57.7 million; and 80 percent of losses in excess of $57.7 million. The loss share agreement for all non-consumer loans and OREO will cover 80 percent of covered loan and OREO losses up to $111.5 million; 30 percent of losses from $111.5 million to $227.0 million; and 80 percent of losses in excess of $227.0 million.

The SFR loss share agreement covers losses recorded during the ten years following the date of the transaction, while the term for the loss share agreement covering all non-consumer loans and OREO is five years. The SFR loss share agreement also covers recoveries received for ten years following the date of the transaction, while recoveries of all other loans and OREO will be shared with the FDIC for a five-year period. The losses reimbursable by the FDIC are based on the book value of the relevant loan as determined by the FDIC at the date of the transaction. New loans made after that date are not covered by the loss share agreements.

The loss share agreements include a true-up payment in the event FCB’s losses do not reach the Total Intrinsic Loss Estimate of $294.0 million. On March 17, 2021, the true-up measurement date, FCB is required to make a true-up payment to the FDIC equal to 50 percent of the excess, if any, of the following calculation: A-(B+C+D), where (A) equals 20 percent of the Total Intrinsic Loss Estimate; (B) equals 20 percent of the Net Loss Amount; (C) equals 25 percent of the asset (discount) bid; and (D) equals 3.5 percent of total Shared Loss Assets at Bank Closing. Current loss estimates indicate that a true-up payment of $11.4 million will be paid to the FDIC during 2021.

FCB recorded a $135.3 million receivable that was based on the present value of projected amounts to be received from and paid to the FDIC under the United Western loss share agreements.

First quarter noninterest income included a bargain purchase gain of $65.0 million that resulted from the FDIC-assisted acquisition of United Western. Our operating results for the period ended June 30, 2011 include the results of the acquired assets and liabilities for the period from January 21, 2011 through June 30, 2011.

On July 8, 2011, FCB entered into an agreement with the FDIC to purchase substantially all the assets and assume the majority of the liabilities of CCB of Castle Rock, Colorado at a discount of $154.9 million, with no deposit premium. The Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the FDIC includes loss share agreements on the loans and OREO purchased by FCB which provides protection against losses to FCB.

The loans and OREO purchased from CCB are covered by two loss share agreements between the FDIC and FCB, which afford FCB significant loss protection, one for single family residential mortgage loans and the other for all other loans and OREO excluding consumer loans and CD secured loans. Under the loss share agreements, the FDIC will cover 80 percent of combined covered loan losses up to $231.0 million; 0 percent from $231.0 million up to $285.9 million; and 80 percent of losses in excess of $285.9 million.

CCB operated in Castle Rock, Colorado with six branch locations in Boulder, Castle Pines, Cherry Creek, Colorado Springs, Edwards, and Parker.

The acquisition of CCB is being accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. A summary of significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed is presented in the following table. These amounts are based on the FDIC settlement and do not include adjustments to reflect the assets and liabilities at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The calculations to determine fair values were incomplete at the time of filing of this Form 10-Q. In addition to the assets and liabilities listed below, BancShares received $103,478 in cash from the FDIC as settlement.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW AND PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

BancShares is a financial holding company headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina that offers full-service banking through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (FCB), a North Carolina-chartered bank.

Prior to January 7, 2011, BancShares also offered full service banking services through another wholly-owned subsidiary, IronStone Bank (ISB), a federally-chartered thrift institution. On January 7, 2011 ISB was legally merged into FCB resulting in a single banking subsidiary of BancShares. ISB branches continue to operate under the name IronStone Bank, which is now a division of FCB. The merger will result in minor expense reductions due to the elimination of various activities that were previously performed separately for both entities. The transaction will also allow liquidity to be managed more efficiently throughout the merged network and for the former ISB branches to increase commercial lending activities. The merger is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity position of BancShares. FCB now operates branches in 17 states and the District of Columbia. Beyond the traditional branch network, we offer customer sales and service through telephone, online banking and an extensive ATM network.

BancShares’ earnings and cash flows are primarily derived from our commercial banking activities. We offer commercial and consumer loans, deposit and treasury services products, cardholder and merchant services, wealth management services as well as various other products and services typically offered by commercial banks. We gather deposits from retail and commercial customers and also secure funding through various non-deposit sources. We invest the liquidity generated from these funding sources in interest-earning assets including loans and leases, investment securities and overnight investments. We also invest in the bank premises, furniture and equipment used to conduct our commercial banking business.

Various external factors influence the focus of our business efforts. Due to unprecedented asset quality challenges, capital shortages and the onset of a global economic recession, the U.S. banking industry has experienced serious financial challenges beginning in 2008 and continuing through 2011. During this time of industry-wide turmoil, while maintaining our long-standing attention to prudent banking practices, we have elected to participate in FDIC-assisted transactions involving distressed financial institutions. Participation in FDIC-assisted transactions creates opportunities to significantly increase our business volumes in markets in which we presently operate and to expand our banking presence to additional markets which we deem demographically attractive. For each of the five FDIC-assisted transactions that we have completed as of June 30, 2011 as well as the CCB transaction completed on July 8, 2011, loss share agreements protect us from a substantial portion of the asset quality risk that we would otherwise incur. Additionally, purchase discounts and fair value adjustments on acquired assets and assumed liabilities have resulted in significant acquisition gains that have resulted in the creation of a substantial portion of the equity required to fund the transactions.

Despite the recognition of significant acquisition gains, recessionary economic conditions, high rates of unemployment, and a growing inability for some businesses and consumers to meet their debt service obligations continue to exert pressure on our core earnings and profitability. Other customers continue to repay existing debt or defer new borrowings due to lingering economic uncertainty resulting in soft demand for loan products. However, successful pricing strategies employed in 2011 have resulted in modest increases in certain commercial loan balances.

Real estate demand in many of our markets remains weak, resulting in continued depressed real estate prices that have adversely affected collateral values for many borrowers. In particular, the stressed residential real estate markets in Georgia and Florida adversely impacted the asset quality and profitability of the former ISB subsidiary during 2009 and to a lesser extent the results of operations during 2010. In an effort to assist customers experiencing financial difficulty, we have selectively agreed to modify existing loan terms to provide relief to customers who are experiencing liquidity challenges or other circumstances that could affect their ability to meet debt obligations.

The demand for our deposit and treasury services products has been influenced by extraordinarily low interest rates and instability in alternative investment markets. Our balance sheet liquidity position remains strong, despite our participation in FDIC-assisted transactions which creates pressure on liquidity management due to the difficulty of retaining assumed deposits at a reasonable cost.

Ongoing economic weakness continues to have a significant impact on virtually all financial institutions in the United States. Beyond the profitability pressures resulting from a weak economy, financial institutions continue to face challenges resulting from governmental efforts to stabilize the financial services industry by implementing industry reforms. In addition to the various actions previously enacted by governmental agencies and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), further changes will likely occur as the Federal government attempts to restore stability to the financial services sector.

We operate in diverse geographic markets and can increase our business volumes and profitability by offering competitive products and superior customer service. In addition to our focus on retaining customers of the five banks involved in the FDIC-assisted transactions, we continue to concentrate our marketing efforts on business owners, medical and other professionals and

financially active individuals. We seek to increase fee income in wealth management, cardholder and merchant services, and insurance and treasury services. Leveraging on our technology investments, we also focus on opportunities to generate income by providing various processing services to other banks.

BancShares’ consolidated net income during the second quarter of 2011 equaled $21.3 million, a decrease of $7.3 million from the $28.6 million earned during the corresponding period of 2010. The annualized return on average assets and equity amounted to 0.41 percent and 4.74 percent respectively, during the second quarter of 2011, compared to 0.54 percent and 6.83 percent during the same period of 2010. Net income per share during the second quarter of 2011 totaled $2.04, compared to $2.74 during the second quarter of 2010.

For the six-month period ending June 30, 2011, net income equaled $84.0 million compared to $135.2 million earned during the same period of 2010. Return on assets and equity during 2011 equaled 0.80 percent and 9.53 percent respectively, from 1.33 percent and 16.71 percent during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. Net income per share equaled $8.05 during the first six months of 2011 compared to $12.96 in the first six months of 2010. The decrease in net income in 2011 was due primarily to acquisition gains recorded in the first quarter of 2010 resulting from two FDIC-assisted transactions with an after-tax impact of $82.7 million or $7.93 per share offset by the gain on the United Western acquisition in the first quarter of 2011 with an after tax impact of $39.6 million or $3.80 per share. The net decrease in consolidated net income as a result of acquisition gains was $43.1 million or $4.13 per share from the six month ended June 30, 2010 to the comparable period of 2011.

Net interest income increased $42.5 million from $164.9 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $207.4 million in 2011, an increase of 25.8 percent. This increase is a result of balance sheet growth caused primarily by acquisitions and discount accretion of $71.1 million recognized in 2011 compared to $10.1 million in 2011. The favorable impact of the discount accretion was partially offset by the reversal of accrued interest on acquired loans placed on nonaccrual during the second quarter of 2011. The net yield on interest-earning assets improved by 92 basis points from 3.54 percent in the second quarter 2010 to 4.46 percent in 2011 due to accreted loan discounts, favorable changes in deposit costs and the positive impact of yields and rates on acquired loans and assumed deposits.

Year-to-date net interest income increased $95.5 million, or 30.2 percent during 2011. The net yield on interest-earning assets was 4.41 percent during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 compared to 3.54 percent for the same period of 2010. For both the second quarter and year-to-date periods, the impact of accreted loan discounts resulting from large unscheduled prepayments on acquired loans significantly impacted the taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earning assets. Since large unscheduled prepayments are unpredictable, the yield on interest-earning assets may decline in future periods. Improvements in expected cashflows on acquired impaired loans identified during 2011 resulted in the reclassification of $60.5 million in nonaccretable difference, which will increase the amount of accretable yield recognized in future periods.

The provision for loan and lease losses recorded during the second quarter of 2011 equaled $54.0 million, compared to $31.8 million during the second quarter of 2010. Of the $22.2 million increase, $24.6 million was caused by higher levels of post-acquisition deterioration of acquired loans covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC offset by a $2.4 million reduction for loans not covered by FDIC loss share agreements. During the six months of 2011, the provision for loan and lease losses equaled $98.4 million, an increase of $49.6 million or 101.8 percent from the same period of 2010 due to an increase in post-acquisition deterioration of covered loans of $53.9 million and a reduction in net charge-offs on noncovered loans of $5.5 million or 21.6 percent when compared to the comparable period of 2010. The gross amount of newly-identified exposures on covered loans is recorded as provision for loan and lease losses with the FDIC receivable adjusted through an offset to noninterest income for the portion that is covered by the FDIC at the appropriate indemnification rate.

Noninterest income decreased $26.0 million or 28.0 percent in the second quarter of 2011 when compared to the second quarter of 2010 due to adjustments to the FDIC receivable for assets covered by loss share agreements that resulted in a loss of $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to a gain of $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2010. For the six month period ended June 30, 2011 noninterest income decreased $106.8 million from the comparable period of 2010. This decrease was the result of a $71.0 million reduction in acquisition related gains in 2011 and a reduction resulting from adjustments to the FDIC receivable for assets covered by loss share agreements of $39.7 million. A net post-acquisition improvement in covered assets during 2011 triggered reductions in the FDIC receivable, which were recorded as a reduction in noninterest income. A net post-acquisition deterioration in covered assets during 2010 caused increases in the FDIC receivable, which were recorded as an increase in noninterest income.

Noninterest expense increased $5.7 million or 3.1 percent in the second quarter of 2011 and $22.8 million or 6.4 percent in the first six months of 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010. The increases were due to higher personnel costs to manage the FDIC-assisted transactions, hardware and software expenses, foreclosure and loan collection costs and card and merchant processing.

INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS

Interest-earning assets include loans and leases, investment securities and overnight investments, all of which reflect varying interest rates based on the risk level and repricing characteristics of the underlying asset. Riskier investments typically carry a higher interest rate, but expose us to potentially increased levels of default.

We have historically focused on maintaining high asset quality, which results in a loan and lease portfolio subjected to strenuous underwriting and monitoring procedures. That focus on asset quality also influences the composition of our investment securities portfolio. At June 30, 2011, the mix of our investment securities portfolio is comprised of 32.3 percent United States Treasury securities, 47.8 percent United States government agency securities, 11.6 percent corporate bonds issued under the FDIC’s Treasury Liquidity Guaranty Program and 8.3 percent residential mortgage-backed securities. Overnight investments are selectively made with other financial institutions that are within our risk tolerance.

During 2011 and 2010, changes in interest-earning assets primarily reflect the impact of assets acquired in the FDIC-assisted transactions and deposit growth within our legacy markets. During the second quarter of 2011, interest-earning assets averaged $18.74 billion, a reduction of $35.8 million or 0.2 percent from the second quarter of 2010. Average interest-earning assets have remained constant over this period despite the acquisition of United Western due to continued deposit run-off in the acquisition markets.

Loans and leases. Due to consumer loan run-off and soft loan demand resulting from weak economic conditions, total non-covered loans declined from the second quarter of 2010 through the first quarter of 2011. Non-covered loans increased during the second quarter of 2011 due to slightly improved commercial loan demand and successful pricing strategies. While total non-covered loans have fallen $93.6 million from $11.62 billion at June 30, 2010 to $11.53 billion at June 30, 2011, balances increased by $136.5 million during the second quarter of 2011.

Loans covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC totaled $2.40 billion at June 30, 2011 compared to $2.00 billion at December 31, 2010 and $2.37 billion at June 30, 2010. The balance and mix of covered loans as of June 30, 2011 was impacted by the loans acquired in the United Western transaction during the first quarter of 2011.

Commercial mortgage loans not covered by loss share agreements totaled $4.86 billion at June 30, 2011, 42.2 percent of noncovered loans and leases. This balance represents an increase of $123.6 million or 2.6 percent since December 31, 2010 and $236.1 million or 5.1 percent since June 30, 2010. Demand for loans secured by owner-occupied medical and professional facilities remained relatively healthy during 2010 and 2011when compared to other lending opportunities. These loans are underwritten based primarily upon the cash flow from the operation of the business rather than the value of the real estate collateral.

At June 30, 2011, revolving mortgage loans not covered by loss share agreements totaled $2.30 billion, representing 20.0 percent of total noncovered loans outstanding, an increase of $69.8 million or 3.1 percent since December 31, 2010 and $115.7 million or 5.3 percent compared to June 30, 2010. The growth of revolving mortgage loans throughout 2010 and 2011 is a result of the low interest rate environment and the attractive variable rate nature of the revolving mortgage loan product.

Commercial and industrial loans not covered by loss share agreements equaled $1.81 billion or 15.7 percent of total noncovered loans and leases, a reduction of $63.7 million or 3.4 percent since December 31, 2010 and an increase of $4.3 million or 0.2 percent since June 30, 2010. Demand for commercial and industrial loans has remained sluggish as customers have generally maintained current borrowing levels.

Commercial construction and land development loans not covered by loss share agreements totaled $407.1 million or 3.5 percent of total loans at June 30, 2011, a decrease of $85.7 million or 17.4 percent since June 30, 2010. This decrease was driven by increased charge-off and foreclosure activity in the construction and land development portfolio during 2010 as well as a reduction in originations.

Consumer loans not covered by loss share agreements totaled $556.9 million at June 30, 2011 down $258.1 million or 31.7 percent since June 30, 2010 and down $38.8 million or 6.5 percent from December 31, 2010. This decline results from our decision during 2008 to discontinue originations of sales finance loans through our dealer network and the general decline in consumer borrowing in 2010 and 2011 due to recessionary economic conditions.

Commercial mortgage loans covered by loss share agreements totaled $1.31 billion at June 30, 2011, representing 54.5 percent of the total covered portfolio compared to $1.09 billion or 54.3 percent of total covered loans as of December 31, 2010. Commercial construction and land development loans covered by loss share agreements totaled $338.7 million, or 14.1 percent of total covered loans at June 30, 2011, a decrease of $29.7 million from the December 31, 2010 total of $368.4 million, which

represented 18.4 percent of the total covered loans. Covered residential mortgage loans totaled $354.0 million or 14.8 percent of the covered portfolio as of June 30, 2011 compared to $74.5 million or 3.7 percent of total covered loans at December 31, 2010. The changes in covered loan balances since December 31, 2010 and from June 30, 2010 are caused by the acquisition of United Western in January 2011 offset by continued reductions of outstanding loans from the FDIC-assisted transactions consummated in 2009 and 2010 due to foreclosure, payoffs and normal run-off.

Despite our recent implementation of successful pricing strategies, we expect non-acquisition loan growth for the next several quarters to be limited due to the generally weak demand for loans and widespread customer desire to deleverage. Loan projections are subject to change due to further economic deterioration or improvement and other external factors.

Investment securities. Investment securities available for sale equaled $4.01 billion at June 30, 2011, compared to $4.51 billion at December 31, 2010 and $3.77 billion at June 30, 2010. Available for sale securities are reported at their aggregate fair value, and unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of other comprehensive income, net of deferred taxes.

Changes in the investment securities portfolio result from trends among loans and leases, deposits and short-term borrowings. When inflows arising from deposit and treasury services products exceed loan and lease demand, we invest excess funds in the securities portfolio. Conversely, when loan demand exceeds growth in deposits and short-term borrowings, we allow overnight investments to decline and use proceeds from maturing securities to fund loan demand.

Income on interest-earning assets. Interest income amounted to $245.6 million during the second quarter of 2011, a $28.2 million or 13.0 percent increase from the second quarter of 2010. The improvement in interest income resulted from higher yields on loans resulting from accretion of discounts on acquired loans with large unscheduled payments since acquisition and the recognition of accretable yield offset partially by the reversal of accrued interest on acquired loans placed on nonaccrual. Average interest-earning assets decreased $35.8 million or 0.2 percent from $18.78 billion to $18.74 billion. The taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets equaled 5.27 percent for the second quarter of 2011, compared to 4.60 percent for the corresponding period of 2010 as reflected in Table 7.

For the first six months of 2011, interest income equaled $490.8 million, a $72.7 million or 17.4 percent increase from the first six months of 2010 caused by higher average balances and acquired loan discount accretion. Average interest-earning assets for the first six months of 2010 increased $800.6 million or 4.4 percent from $18.10 billion to $18.90 billion. The taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets equaled 5.25 percent for the first six months of 2011 compared to 4.68 percent for the corresponding period of 2010 as reflected in Table 8.

Loan and lease interest income for the second quarter of 2011 equaled $233.7 million, an increase of $31.2 million from the second quarter of 2010, the combined result of acquired loan discount accretion and higher yield offset by lower average balances and the reversal of accrued interest on acquired loans placed on nonaccrual. Average loans and leases decreased $174.7 million or 1.2 percent from the second quarter of 2010 to the second quarter of 2011. The taxable-equivalent yield was 6.70 percent during the second quarter of 2011, a 96 basis point increase from the same period of 2010. The increased yield resulted partially from $71.1 million of discount accreted into income during the second quarter related to acquired loans, including $43.7 million related to various post acquisition events.

Loan and lease interest income for the first six months of 2011 equaled $465.2 million, an increase of $75.6 million from the first six months of 2010 due to acquired loan discount accretion and higher yields. Average loans and leases increased $12.5 million or 0.1 percent from the first six months of 2010 to the first six months of 2011. The taxable-equivalent yield was 6.73 percent during the first six months of 2011, a 108 basis point increase from the same period of 2010. The increased yield resulted partially from $122.8 million of discount accreted into income during the six-months ended June 30, 2011 related to acquired loans, including $73.0 million related to various post acquisition events.

(1) Average maturity assumes callable securities mature on their earliest call date; yields are based on amortized cost; yields related to securities exempt from federal and/or state income taxes are stated on a taxable yield basis assuming statutory rates of 35.0 percent.

Interest income earned on the investment securities portfolio amounted to $11.6 million during the second quarter of 2011 and $14.3 million during the same period of 2010, a decrease of $2.8 million or 19.5 percent. This decrease in income is the result of a reduction in yields offset by an increase in average investment securities. The taxable-equivalent yield decreased 8 basis points from 1.22 percent in the second quarter of 2010 to 1.14 percent in the second quarter of 2011. This yield reduction was caused by extraordinarily low market interest rates. We anticipate the yield on investment securities will remain depressed until the Federal Reserve begins to raise the benchmark fed funds rates, an action that would likely lead to higher asset yields.

Interest income earned on the investment securities portfolio during the first six months of 2011 amounted to $24.9 million, compared to $27.5 million during the same period of 2010, a decrease of $2.6 million or 9.4 percent. The taxable-equivalent yield decreased 51 basis points from 1.68 percent in the first six months of 2010 to 1.17 percent during the same period of 2011. The decreased interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 was attributable to low current year interest rates and the maturity and early redemption of higher yielding securities.

INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

Interest-bearing liabilities include interest-bearing deposits as well as short-term borrowings and long-term obligations. Deposits represent our primary funding source, although we also utilize non-deposit borrowings to stabilize our liquidity base and to fulfill commercial customer demand for treasury services. Certain of our long-term borrowings currently qualify as capital under guidelines established by the Federal Reserve and other banking regulators. The Dodd-Frank Act, however, contains provisions that cause $265.0 million of trust preferred capital securities to fully cease qualification as Tier I capital effective January 1, 2015.

Deposits. At June 30, 2011, total deposits equaled $17.66 billion, an increase of $27.7 million or 0.2 percent since December 31, 2010 and a reduction of $124.3 million or 0.7 percent since June 30, 2010. The relative stability of deposits is due to the assumption of United Western deposits in the first quarter of 2011 offset by attrition of assumed deposits from the 2009 through 2011 FDIC–assisted transactions.

Due to our historic focus on maintaining a significant level of free liquidity, we continue to emphasize deposit retention as a key business objective. We endeavor to retain a significant portion of non-brokered core demand and money market account balances and reasonably priced time deposits assumed in the FDIC-assisted transactions. Once economic conditions improve, our ability to satisfy customer loan demand could be constrained unless we are able to continue to generate new deposits at a reasonable cost.

Short-term borrowings At June 30, 2011, short-term borrowings totaled $655.8 million compared to $546.6 million at December 31, 2010 and $541.7 million at June 30, 2010. The increase in short term borrowings is primarily a result of the assumption of $95.1 million in repurchase agreements from United Western in January 2011.

Long-term obligations. Long-term obligations equaled $792.7 million at June 30, 2011, down $17.3 million from December 31, 2010 and $126.3 million from June 30, 2010. The decrease since June 30, 2010 resulted from the redemption of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) obligations assumed in the 2010 FDIC-assisted transactions.

Expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense amounted to $38.2 million during the second quarter of 2011, a $14.3 million or 27.3 percent decrease from the second quarter of 2010. The reduced level of interest expense resulted from lower rates and lower average balances. The rate on average interest-bearing liabilities equaled 1.02 percent during the second quarter of 2011, a 33 basis point decrease from the second quarter of 2010. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $579.9 million or 3.7 percent from second quarter of 2010 to the second quarter of 2011 due to the run-off of deposits assumed in FDIC-assisted transactions as well as a reduction in long term obligations resulting from the redemption of FHLB borrowings.

Average interest-bearing deposits equaled $13.56 billion during the second quarter of 2011, a decrease of $554.9 million or 3.9 percent from the second quarter of 2010. Average money market accounts increased $582.8 million or 12.2 percent from the second quarter of 2010, due to the FDIC-assisted transactions and customers holding available liquidity in flexible deposit accounts. During the second quarter of 2011, time deposits averaged $5.45 billion, down $1.43 billion or 20.7 percent from the second quarter of 2010 resulting from customer preference for non-time deposits, partially offset by time deposits assumed in FDIC-assisted transactions.

For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, short-term borrowings averaged $661.2 million and $561.7 million, respectively. The $99.5 million or 17.7 percent increase in average short-term borrowings since the second quarter of 2010 resulted primarily from the assumption of repurchase agreements from United Western.

During the first six months of 2011, interest expense equaled $79.4 million, compared to $102.2 million during the first six months of 2010, a 22.3 percent decrease. This decrease in expense resulted principally from lower rates during 2011. The rate on average interest-bearing liabilities equaled 1.05 percent during the first six months of 2011, a 31 basis point decrease from the first six months of 2010. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $180.3 million or 1.2 percent from the first six months of 2010 to the first six months of 2011.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income totaled $207.4 million during the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $42.5 million or 25.8 percent from the second quarter of 2010. The taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earning assets equaled 4.46 percent for the second quarter of 2011, up 92 basis points from the 3.54 percent recorded for the second quarter of 2010. Higher current year net interest income and net yield on interest-earning assets was attributable to accretion of discounts on acquired loans, favorable changes in deposit costs, and the positive impact of yields and rates on acquired loans and assumed deposits.

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2011 included $71.1 million of accretion income, of which, $43.7 related to various post-acquisition events including unscheduled payments. No such unscheduled accretion was recognized during the second quarter of 2010. Without the benefit of the accretion of the discount relating to unscheduled events, the second quarter taxable-equivalent loan yield would have been 125 basis points lower; the taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets would have been 93 basis points lower, and the taxable-equivalent net yield on interest earning assets would have been 94 basis points lower. The taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earnings assets during the second quarter of 2010 equaled 3.54 percent, 2 basis points higher than the second quarter of 2011 without the benefit of accretion relating to various post-acquisition events.

Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 included $122.8 million of accretion income, of which, $73.0 related to various post-acquisition events including unscheduled payments. No such unscheduled accretion was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Without the benefit of the accretion of the discount relating to unscheduled events, the second quarter taxable-equivalent loan yield would have been 105 basis points lower; the taxable-equivalent yield on interest-earning assets would have been 78 basis points lower, and the taxable-equivalent net yield on interest earning assets would have been 78 basis points lower. The taxable-equivalent net yield on interest-earning assets for the six-months ended June 30, 2011 equaled 3.54 percent, 9 basis points lower than the comparable period of 2011 without the benefit of accretion relating to various post-acquisition events.

The continuing accretion of fair value discounts resulting from acquired loans will likely contribute to volatility in net interest income in future periods. Fair value discounts related to loans that have been repaid unexpectedly will be accreted into interest income at the time the loan obligation is satisfied. Unless additional uncertainty about future payments exists, discounts associated with loans that display large unscheduled payments will be recognized in interest income on an accelerated basis.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income is an essential component of our total revenue and is critical to our ability to sustain adequate profitability levels. Traditionally, the primary sources of noninterest income are cardholder and merchant services income, service charges on deposit accounts, revenues derived from wealth management services and fees from processing services. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, these traditional sources of noninterest income have been significantly influenced by acquisition gains and the entries resulting from post-acquisition adjustments to the FDIC receivable resulting from FDIC-assisted transactions.

During the first six months of 2011, noninterest income amounted to $197.7 million, compared to $304.6 million during the same period of 2010. The majority of the $106.8 million decrease during 2011 is due to $71.0 million in higher acquisition gains recognized in conjunction with FDIC-assisted transactions in 2010 when compared to 2011 as well as a $39.7 million reduction in income from adjustments to the FDIC receivable. Net losses of $24.1 million were recorded during 2011 resulting from adjustments to the FDIC receivable compared to $15.5 million of gains recorded in the second quarter of 2010. A net post-acquisition

Table of Contents

improvement in covered assets during 2011 triggered reductions in the FDIC receivable, which were recorded as a reduction to noninterest income. A net post-acquisition deterioration in covered assets during 2010 caused increases in the FDIC receivable, which were recorded as an increase to noninterest income.

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2011 equaled $66.6 million compared to $92.6 million in the comparable period of 2010. This reduction of $26.0 million was primarily the result of a $26.7 million reduction in income from adjustments to the FDIC receivable.

Cardholder and merchant services generated $30.5 million of revenue during the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $2.0 million or 7.0 percent compared to the second quarter of 2010. This increase resulted from growth in merchant discount and interchange income from credit cards and Visa check cards. Interchange income derived from Visa check cards will decline beginning October 2011 due to mandated reductions in the allowable interchange rates pursuant provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act. The estimated fee reduction for the fourth quarter of 2011 amounts to approximately $3.0 million, with the impact for 2012 of approximately $13.0 million.

Income from service charges on deposit accounts has declined significantly due to January 2011 changes to the order in which transactions are posted to customer accounts as well as changes to Regulation E in August 2010 that allow financial institutions to only provide overdraft services to customers who explicitly elect to use those services. Service charges on deposit accounts equaled $15.8 million and $19.5 million for the second quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively resulting in a $3.7 million decrease. Deposit service charges for the six month period ended June 30, 2011 have declined $6.8 million, or 17.7 percent, compared to the same period in 2010. Additional changes to how overdraft service charges are assessed will be implemented in the third quarter of 2011 including establishing a daily maximum overdraft charge and implementing transaction amounts beneath which overdraft charges would be not be assessed. The estimated annual fee reduction from these changes is $1.8 million.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

The primary components of noninterest expense are salaries and related employee benefits, occupancy costs for branch offices and support facilities, and equipment and software costs related to branch offices and technology. These costs are generally driven by headcount and branch count.

Noninterest expense equaled $377.5 million for the first six months of 2011, a $22.8 million or 6.4 percent increase over the $354.7 million recorded during the same period of 2010. This increase was caused primarily by higher personnel costs, hardware and software maintenance, foreclosure and loan collection costs as well as external processing. The increases in personnel costs of $9.5 million resulted from the impact of merit increases and new positions to manage our technology infrastructure and the FDIC-assisted transactions as well as $1.8 million in executive retirement costs recorded during the first quarter of 2011. Increased credit card transaction volume and processing fees paid for institutional deposits acquired from United Western that were moved to other institutions in March 2011 resulted in an increase of $4.7 million.

Occupancy expense totaled $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $18.5 million and $36.4 million for the corresponding periods of 2011. The increase for the six month period is attributable to increased costs in acquisition markets.

Noninterest expense increased $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2011 to $187.5 million compared to $181.8 million in the second quarter of 2010 as a result of increases in personnel costs, hardware and software expense and external processing expenses offset by a reduction in FDIC deposit insurance expense.

Salaries and wages increased $1.6 million or 2.2 percent from the second quarter of 2010 to the second quarter 2011 as a result of merit increases and increases in headcount. Employee benefits expense totaled $18.7 million for the second quarter of 2011 up $2.9 million or 18.1 percent from the second quarter of 2010 caused primarily an increase in pension cost due to changes in plan actuarial assumptions and increased 401(k) expense as a result of higher employee participation.

Equipment expense increased 5.5 percent in the second quarter 2011 when compared to the comparable period of 2010 caused primarily by higher hardware and software costs.

Other expenses for the second quarter of 2011 increased $4.7 million or 10.2 percent when compared to the same period of 2010. Collection expenses for loans arising from the FDIC-assisted transactions, the majority of which are reimbursable under the FDIC loss share agreements, increased $830,000 from the comparable three month period of 2010. Costs for card loyalty programs increased $1.6 million due to higher expenses for the debit card program. Cardholder and merchant processing costs increased $1.1 million from added transaction volumes.

FDIC deposit insurance expense decreased $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2011 when compared to the same period of 2010 due to the new formula adopted by the FDIC to calculate the assessment effective April 1, 2011. The new formula alters the assessment base from deposits to total assets less equity thereby placing a larger assessment burden on banks with large levels of non-deposit funding. Our assessment amount declined due primarily to our general lack of reliance on non-deposit funding.

INCOME TAXES

We monitor and evaluate the potential impact of current events on the estimates used to establish income tax expenses and income tax liabilities. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our income tax positions based on current tax law, positions taken by various tax auditors within the jurisdictions that BancShares is required to file income tax returns as well as potential or pending audits or assessments by such tax auditors.

Income tax expense amounted to $49.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $81.8 million during the same period of 2010. The $32.6 million decrease in income tax expense was the direct result of significantly lower pre-tax earnings. The effective tax rates for these periods equaled 37.0 percent and 37.7 percent, respectively. The slightly lower effective tax rate for 2011 reflects the enhanced impact of various favorable permanent differences on the current year’s pre-tax income.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY

We continually monitor the capital levels and ratios for BancShares and FCB to ensure that they comfortably exceed the minimum requirements imposed by their respective regulatory authorities and to ensure that FCB’s capital is appropriate given its growth projection and risk profile. Failure to meet certain capital requirements may result in actions by regulatory agencies that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Table 9 provides information on capital adequacy for BancShares as of June 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010.

BancShares continues to exceed minimum capital standards and FCB remains well-capitalized.

The tier 2 capital of BancShares and FCB includes qualifying subordinated debt that was issued in 2005 with a scheduled maturity date of September 1, 2015. Beginning in the third quarter of 2010, the amount of this qualifying subordinated debt that is eligible tier 2 capital decreased $25.0 million to $100.0 million since the scheduled maturity date is within 5 years. The amount eligible for tier 2 capital will decrease by $25.0 million each year until the scheduled maturity date. Tier 2 capital is part of total risk-based capital, reflected in Table 9.

The Dodd-Frank Act contains provisions that will eliminate our ability to include $265.0 million of trust preferred capital securities in tier 1 risk-based capital effective January 1, 2015. BancShares’ trust preferred capital securities that currently qualify as tier 1 capital will be phased out in equal increments of $88.3 million over a three- year term, beginning in 2013. Based on BancShares’ capital structure as of June 30, 2011, the impact of the reduction of $88.3 million would result in a tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 9.08 percent, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.70 percent, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 16.59 percent. Elimination of the full $265 million of trust preferred capital securities from the June 30, 2011 capital structure would result in a proforma tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 8.25 percent, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.35 percent, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.24 percent. BancShares and FCB would continue to remain well-capitalized under current regulatory guidelines.

RISK MANAGEMENT

In the normal course of business, BancShares is exposed to various risks. To manage the major risks that are inherent in the operation of a financial holding company and to provide reasonable assurance that our long-term business objectives will be attained, various policies and risk management processes identify, monitor and manage risk within acceptable tolerances. Management continually refines and enhances its risk management policies and procedures to maintain effective risk management programs and processes.

Our primary risk exposures are credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Credit risk is the risk of not collecting the amount of a loan, lease or investment when it is contractually due. Interest rate risk is the potential reduction of net interest income as a result of changes in market interest rates. Liquidity risk is the possible inability to fund obligations to depositors, creditors, investors or borrowers.

Credit risk. The maintenance of excellent asset quality is one of our key performance measures. Loans and leases not covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC were underwritten in accordance with our credit policies and procedures and are subjected to periodic ongoing reviews. Loans covered by loss share agreements with the FDIC were recorded at fair value at the time of the acquisition and are subjected to periodic reviews to identify any further credit deterioration. Our independent credit review function conducts risk reviews and analyses for the purpose of ensuring compliance with credit policies and to closely monitor asset quality trends. The risk reviews include portfolio analysis by geographic location and horizontal reviews across industry and collateral sectors. We strive to identify potential problem loans as early as possible, to record charge-offs or write-downs as appropriate and to maintain adequate allowances for loan and lease losses that are inherent in the loan and lease portfolio.

We maintain a well-diversified loan and lease portfolio, and seek to avoid the risk associated with large concentrations within specific geographic areas or industries. The ongoing expansion of our branch network has allowed us to mitigate our historic exposure to geographic risk concentration within North Carolina and Virginia. Despite our focus on diversification, several characteristics of our loan and lease portfolio subject us to notable risk. These include our concentration of real estate loans, medical-related loans, and the existence of high loan-to-value loans.

We have historically carried a significant concentration of real estate secured loans. We mitigate that exposure through our underwriting policies that principally rely on adequate borrower cash flow rather than underlying collateral values. When we do rely on underlying real property values, we favor financing secured by owner-occupied real property and, as a result, a large percentage of our real estate secured loans are owner-occupied. At June 30, 2011, loans secured by real estate not covered by loss share agreements totaled $8.69 billion or 75.4 percent of total noncovered loans and leases compared to $8.53 billion or 74.3 percent of noncovered loans and leases at December 31, 2010 and $8.52 billion or 73.3 percent at June 30, 2010.

Noncovered loans and leases to borrowers in medical, dental or related fields totaled $3.08 billion as of June 30, 2011, which represents 26.7 percent of loans and leases not covered by loss share agreements, compared to $3.02 billion or 26.3 percent of noncovered loans and leases at December 31, 2010 and $2.98 billion or 25.7 percent of noncovered loans and leases at June 30, 2010. Except for this single concentration, no other industry represented more than 10 percent of total noncovered loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2011.

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans and leases, other real estate owned (OREO) and restructured loans that are both covered and not covered by FDIC loss share agreements. At June 30, 2011, BancShares’ nonperforming assets amounted to $689.2 million or 4.9 percent of total loans and leases plus OREO, compared to $560.1 million or 4.1 percent at December 31, 2010 and $519.2 million or 3.7 percent at June 30, 2010.

Of the $689.2 million in nonperforming assets at June 30, 2011, $479.8 million is covered by FDIC loss share agreements that provide significant loss protection. Both the $129.1 million increase from December 31, 2010 and $170.1 million increase from June 30, 2010 are attributable to nonperforming assets arising from the FDIC-assisted transactions closed during the first quarters of 2010 and 2011 in addition to smaller increases in noncovered assets.

Nonperforming assets not covered by loss share agreements amounted to $209.4 million as of June 30, 2011, or 1.8 percent of noncovered loans and leases plus OREO compared to $196.7 million or 1.7 percent at December 31, 2010 and $156.6 million or 1.3 percent at June 30, 2010. The $52.8 million increase in noncovered nonperforming assets since June 30, 2010 was due to restructured loans and weak economic conditions causing higher levels of defaults.

Restructured loans on accrual status not covered by loss share agreements equaled $86.9 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $65.0 million at December 31, 2010 and $36.6 million at June 30, 2010. Total covered and noncovered restructured loans as of June 30, 2011 equaled $222.1 million, $148.8 million of which are accruing and $73.3 million of which are nonaccrual. Restructured loans result from modifications selectively provided to customers experiencing cash flow difficulties in an effort to assist them in remaining current on their debt obligations.

OREO not covered by loss share agreements totaled $49.0 million at June 30, 2010, compared to $52.8 million at December 31, 2010 and $46.8 million at June 30, 2010. A significant portion of the OREO not covered by loss share agreements relates to real estate exposures in the Atlanta, Georgia and southwest Florida markets arising from residential construction activities. Both markets have experienced significant over-development that has resulted in extremely weak sales of new residential units and significant declines in property values. Once acquired, OREO is periodically reviewed to ensure that the fair value of the property supports the carrying value, with write downs recorded when necessary.

At June 30, 2011, the allowance for loan and lease losses allocated to noncovered loans totaled $180.6 million or 1.57 percent of loans and leases not covered by loss share agreements, compared to $176.5 million or 1.54 percent at December 31, 2010 and $172.2 million or 1.48 percent at June 30, 2010. The increases in the allowance for noncovered loan and lease losses were due to deterioration in credit quality within noncovered commercial loans, revolving mortgage loans, and residential construction loans. High delinquency levels and charge-offs on revolving mortgage loans are projected to remain elevated due to weakened collateral positions particularly for loans secured by junior collateral positions. An additional allowance of $69.4 million relates to covered loans at June 30, 2011, established as a result of post-acquisition deterioration in credit quality for covered loans. The allowance for covered loans equaled $51.2 million at December 31, 2010 and $16.0 million at June 30, 2010.

Management considers the allowance adequate to absorb estimated probable losses that relate to loans and leases outstanding at June 30, 2011, although future additions may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan and lease losses. Such agencies may require adjustments to the allowance based on information available to them at the time of their examination.

The provision for noncovered loan and lease losses recorded during the second quarter of 2011 equaled $12.8 million, compared to $10.5 million during the fourth quarter of 2010 and $15.3 million during the second quarter of 2010. Provision expense related to covered loans totaled $41.2 million and $16.6 million during the second quarter of 2011 and 2010 respectively due to post-acquisition deterioration of loans covered under loss share agreements. The increase from the second quarter of 2010 is due primarily to provisions recognized on the loans acquired in 2010. The impact of the higher provision for covered loan and lease losses resulting from post-acquisition deterioration triggered adjustments to the FDIC receivable which are offset by noninterest income.

Exclusive of losses related to covered loans, net charge-offs equaled $10.1 million during the second quarter of 2011, compared to $12.6 million during the second quarter of 2010. On an annualized basis, net charge-offs represented 0.35 percent of average noncovered loans and leases during the second quarter of 2011 compared to 0.43 percent during the second quarter of 2010. Reductions were noted among residential construction loans and non-commercial consumer loans. Net charge-offs on covered loans equaled $26.4 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $7.4 million recorded in the second quarter of 2010.

Table 10 provides details concerning the allowance for loan and lease losses during the past five quarters.

Interest rate risk. Interest rate risk results principally from assets and liabilities maturing or repricing at different points in time, from assets and liabilities repricing at the same point in time but in different amounts and from short-term and long-term interest rates changing in different magnitudes. Market interest rates also have an impact on the interest rate and repricing characteristics of loans and leases that are originated as well as the rate characteristics of our interest-bearing liabilities.

We assess our interest rate risk by simulating future amounts of net interest income under various interest rate scenarios and comparing those results to forecasted net interest income assuming stable rates. Due to the existence of contractual floors, competitive pressures that constrain our ability to reduce interest rates, and the extremely low current level of interest rates, it is highly unlikely that the rates on most interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can decline from current levels. In our simulations, we do not calculate rate shocks, rate ramps or market value of equity for declining rate scenarios, and assume that the prime rate will not move below the June 30, 2011 rate of 3.25 percent. Our rate ramp simulations indicate that net interest income will increase by 8.1 percent to 15.7 percent depending upon the speed with which rates increase. Our projections do not incorporate assumptions of likely customer migration of short-term deposit instruments to long-term, higher rate instruments as rates rise. Such transfer would dampen the majority of the calculated favorable changes. We also utilize the market value of equity as a tool in measuring and managing interest rate risk. The market value of equity is estimated to remain roughly unchanged at 10.2 percent of assets with rates stable and when rates move up immediately by 200 basis points.

We do not typically utilize interest rate swaps, floors, collars or other derivative financial instruments to attempt to hedge our rate sensitivity and interest rate risk. However, during 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap to synthetically convert the variable rate on $115.0 million of junior subordinated debentures to a fixed rate of 7.125 percent for a period of five years. This swap matured on June 30, 2011. During 2009, we entered into a second interest rate swap covering the period from June 2011 to June 2016 at a fixed interest rate of 5.50 percent. Both of the interest rate swaps qualified as hedges under US GAAP.

Liquidity risk. Liquidity risk results from the mismatching of asset and liability cash flows and the potential inability to secure adequate amounts of funding from traditional sources of liquidity. We manage this risk by structuring our balance sheet prudently and by maintaining various borrowing resources to fund potential cash needs. We have historically maintained a strong focus on liquidity, and have traditionally relied on our deposit base as our primary liquidity source. Short-term borrowings resulting from commercial treasury customers are also a recurring source of liquidity, although the majority of those borrowings must be collateralized thereby potentially restricting the use of the resulting liquidity. Through our deposit and treasury services pricing strategies, we have the ability to stimulate or curtail liability growth.

Exclusive of deposits assumed in the FDIC-assisted transactions, deposits increased from the second quarter of 2010 to the second quarter of 2011 due to an improved domestic savings rate and a desire by customers to seek safety from uncertain investment instruments. While deposits have continued to grow despite falling interest rates, lower rates have caused a decline in treasury services balances.

We occasionally utilize borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta as an alternative source of liquidity, and to assist in matching the maturities of longer dated interest-earning assets. At June 30, 2011, we had sufficient collateral pledged to provide access to $1.50 billion of additional borrowings. Additionally, we maintain federal funds lines of credit and other borrowing facilities. At June 30, 2011, BancShares had contingent access to $400.0 million in unsecured borrowings through its various sources.

Once we have satisfied our loan demand and other funding needs, residual liquidity is held in cash or invested in overnight investments and investment securities available for sale. Net of amounts pledged for various purposes, the amount of such immediately available balance sheet liquidity approximated $1.78 billion at June 30, 2011 compared to $2.73 billion at December 31, 2010 and $2.71 billion at June 30, 2010. The significant decline in available balance sheet liquidity during 2011 resulted from a material run-off in institutional deposits assumed from United Western.

SEGMENT REPORTING

BancShares is a financial holding company headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina that offers full-service banking through a single wholly-owned banking subsidiary, First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (FCB), a North Carolina-chartered bank.

Prior to January 7, 2011, BancShares also offered full service banking services through another wholly-owned subsidiary, IronStone Bank (ISB), a federally-chartered thrift institution. On January 7, 2011 ISB was legally merged into FCB resulting in a single banking subsidiary of BancShares. Therefore, BancShares no longer has multiple reportable segments.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

BancShares and various subsidiaries have been named as defendants in various legal actions arising from our normal business activities in which damages in various amounts are claimed. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to those other matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of management, any such liability will not have a material effect on BancShares’ consolidated financial statements.

CURRENT ACCOUNTING AND REGULATORY ISSUES

In July, 2010, the FASB issued Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Loss (ASU 2010-20). In an effort to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about the allowance for loan and lease losses, ASU 2010-20 requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature of credit risk inherent in the portfolio and how risk is analyzed and assessed in determining the amount of the allowance. Changes in the allowance will also require disclosure. The end-of-period disclosures are effective for BancShares on December 31, 2010 with the exception of disclosures related to troubled debt restructurings that are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2011. The disclosures related to activity during a period are effective during 2011. The provisions of ASU 2010-20 have affected disclosures regarding the allowance for loan and lease losses, but will have no material impact on financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In April, 2011, the FASB issued A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (ASU 2011-02). In an effort to increase comparability, ASU 2011-02 seeks to clarify when a creditor has granted a concession in a modification and whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments in this update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The provisions of ASU 2011-02 are not expected to have a material impact on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of BancShares.

The enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act will result in expansive changes in many areas affecting the financial services industry in general and BancShares in particular. The legislation provides broad economic oversight, consumer financial services protection, investor protection, rating agency reform and derivative regulatory reform. Various corporate governance requirements will result in expanded proxy disclosures and shareholder rights. Additional provisions address the mortgage industry in an effort to strengthen lending practices. Deposit insurance reform has resulted in permanent FDIC protection for up to $250,000 of deposits and will require the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund to maintain 1.35 percent of insured deposits with the burden for closing the shortfall falling to banks with more than $10.0 billion in assets.

In response to the legislation, the formula used to calculate the FDIC insurance assessment paid by each FDIC-insured institution was significantly altered. The new formula was effective April 1, 2011 and changes the assessment base from deposits to total assets less equity, thereby placing a larger assessment burden on banks with large levels of non-deposit funding. The new assessment formula also considers the level of subprime and leveraged loans, risk factors that will potentially result in incremental insurance costs. This new reporting requirement will require BancShares to implement process and system changes to accurately identify and report these assets.

The legislation also imposes new regulatory capital requirements for banks that will result in the disallowance of qualified trust preferred capital securities as tier 1 capital beginning in 2013. This legislation requires the reduction in tier 1 capital by the amount of qualified trust preferred capital securities in equal increments over a three year period beginning in 2013. BancShares has $265.0 million in trust preferred capital securities that is currently outstanding and included as tier 1 capital. The elimination of $88.3 million from tier 1 capital will be required over the three year period beginning in 2013.

On June 29, 2011 the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System issued a final rule establishing standards for debit card interchange fees and prohibiting network exclusivity arrangements and routing restrictions. The issuance of this rule was required by the Dodd-Frank Act. Under the final rule, the maximum permissible interchange fee that an issuer may receive for an electronic debit transaction will be the sum of 21 cents per transaction and 5 basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction. The Federal Reserve also approved an interim final rule that allows for an upward adjustment of no more than 1 cent to an issuer’s debit card interchange fee if the issuer develops and implements policies and procedures reasonably designed to achieve the fraud-prevention standards set out in the interim final rule. The provisions of this rule will be effective on October 1, 2011 and it is expected to have a negative impact on BancShares noninterest income in periods following implementation.

Due to the breadth of the impact of the new legislation and the pending issuance of regulations implementing the legislation, we are unable to estimate the impact of complying with the various provisions.

Although it is likely that further regulatory actions will arise as the Federal government attempts to address the economic situation, management is not aware of any further recommendations by regulatory authorities that, if implemented, would have or would be reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity, capital ratios or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the potential economic loss resulting from changes in market prices and interest rates. This risk can either result in diminished current fair values of financial instruments or reduced net interest income in future periods. As of June 30, 2011, BancShares’ market risk profile has not changed significantly from December 31, 2010. Changes in fair value that result from movement in market rates cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. Therefore, the impact that future changes in market rates will have on the fair values of financial instruments is uncertain.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

BancShares’ management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of BancShares’ disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). Based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, BancShares’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that BancShares is able to record, process, summarize and report in a timely manner the information required to be disclosed in reports it files under the Exchange Act.

BancShares is constantly monitoring and improving internal controls over financial reporting but no change in BancShares’ internal control over financial reporting occurred during the second quarter of 2011 that had materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, BancShares’ internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The risks and uncertainties that management believes are material are described below. Before making an investment decision, these risks and uncertainties should be carefully considered together with all of the other information included or incorporated herein by reference. The risks listed are not the only risks that BancShares faces. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not currently known or that management does not currently deem to be material could also have a material, adverse impact on our financial condition, the results of our operations, or our business. If this were to occur, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly.

Unfavorable economic conditions could adversely affect our business

Our business is highly affected by national, regional and local economic conditions. These conditions cannot be predicted or controlled, and may have a material impact on our operations and financial condition. Unfavorable economic developments including increases in unemployment rates, decreases in real estate values, rapid changes in interest rates, higher loan default and bankruptcy rates, and various other factors could weaken the national economy as well as the economies of specific communities that we serve. Weakness in our market areas, continuation or deepening of current weak economic conditions, or a prolonged recovery could depress our earnings and financial condition because borrowers may not be able to repay their loans, collateral values may fall, and loans that are currently performing may become impaired. Additionally, downgrades to the credit ratings of the issuers of securities held in our investment securities portfolio could result in a reduction of the fair value of our investments.

Instability in real estate markets may create significant credit costs

Disruption in residential housing markets including reduced sales activity and falling market prices have adversely affected collateral values and customer demand, particularly with respect to our operations in southern California, Atlanta, Georgia and southwest Florida. With a significant percentage of total loans secured by real estate, instability in residential and commercial real estate markets could result in higher credit losses if customers default on loans that, as a result of lower property values, are no longer adequately collateralized. The weak real estate markets could also affect our ability to sell real estate acquired through foreclosure.

Accretion of fair value discounts may result in volatile interest income and net interest income

Fair value discounts that are recorded at the time an asset is acquired are accreted into interest income based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The rate at which those discounts are accreted is unpredictable, the result of various factors including unscheduled prepayments and credit quality improvements that result in a reclassification from nonaccretable to accretable with prospective accretion into interest income. The discount accretion may result in significant volatility in interest income and net interest income.

To the extent that the changes in interest income and net interest income are attributable to improvements in credit quality of loans covered under loss share agreements, there will generally be a proportionate adjustment to the FDIC receivable that will be offset by an entry to noninterest income.

Reimbursements under loss share agreements are subject to FDIC oversight

With respect to the 2011, 2010 and 2009 acquisitions, the exposures to prospective losses on certain assets are covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC. These loss share agreements impose certain obligations on us that, in the event of noncompliance, could result in the delay or disallowance of some or all of our rights under those agreements. Requests for reimbursement are subject to FDIC review and may be delayed or disallowed for noncompliance.

We are subject to extensive oversight and regulation that continues to change

We and FCB are subject to extensive federal and state banking laws and regulations. These laws and regulations focus on the protection of depositors, federal deposit insurance funds, and the banking system as a whole rather than the protection of security holders. Federal and state banking regulators possess broad powers to take supervisory actions as they deem appropriate. These supervisory actions may result in higher capital requirements, higher insurance premiums, increased expenses, reductions in fee income and limitations on activities that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

The Dodd-Frank Act instituted significant changes to the overall regulatory framework for financial institutions including BancShares and FCB. Many of the specific provisions of the bill have yet to be fully implemented, and the impact on us cannot be accurately predicted until regulations are enacted. The Dodd-Frank Act will likely cause a decline in certain revenues that are significant to our overall financial performance, create additional compliance costs, and eliminate a portion of our tier 1 capital beginning January 1, 2013.

We encounter significant competition

We compete with other banks and specialized financial service providers in our market areas. Our primary competitors include local, regional and national banks and savings associations, credit unions, commercial finance companies, various wealth management providers, independent and captive insurance agencies, mortgage companies and non-bank providers of financial services over the Internet. Some of our larger competitors, including banks that have a significant presence in our market areas, have the capacity to offer products and services we do not offer. Some of our competitors operate in a regulatory environment that is significantly less stringent than the one in which we operate, or are not subject to income taxation. The fierce competitive pressure that we face tends to reduce pricing for many of our products and services to levels that are marginally profitable.

Our financial condition could be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions

Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, or other relationships. We have exposure to numerous financial service providers, including banks, brokers and dealers in securities and other institutional clients. Transactions with other financial institutions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of the counterparty. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when collateral we hold cannot be liquidated at a price sufficient to recover the full amount of the credit. These types of losses could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

Natural disasters and other catastrophes could affect our ability to operate

The occurrence of catastrophic events including weather-related events such as hurricanes, tropical storms, floods, or windstorms, as well as earthquakes, pandemic disease, fires and other catastrophes could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition to natural catastrophic events, man-made events, such as acts of terror and governmental response to acts of terror, could adversely affect general economic conditions, which could have a material impact on our results of operations.

Unpredictable natural and other disasters could have an adverse effect if those events materially disrupt our operations or affect customers’ access to the financial services we offer. Although we carry insurance to mitigate our exposure to certain catastrophic events, catastrophic events could nevertheless adversely affect our results of operations.

We are subject to interest rate risk

Our results of operations and cash flows are highly dependent upon our net interest income. Interest rates are sensitive to economic and market conditions that are beyond our control including the actions of the Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee. Changes in monetary policy could influence our interest income and interest expense as well as the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities. If the changes in interest rates on our interest-earning assets are not roughly equal to the changes in interest rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, our net interest income and therefore our net income could be adversely impacted.

Even though we maintain what we believe to be an adequate interest rate risk monitoring system, the forecasts of future net interest income in the system may be inaccurate. The shape of the yield curve may change differently than we forecasted, and we cannot accurately predict changes in interest rates or actions by the Federal Open Market Committee that may have a direct impact on market interest rates.

Our current level of balance sheet liquidity may come under pressure

Our deposit base represents our primary source of liquidity, and we normally have the ability to stimulate deposit growth through our reasonable and effective pricing strategies. However, in circumstances where our ability to generate needed liquidity is impaired, we would need access to alternative liquidity sources such as overnight and other short-term borrowings. While we maintain access to alternative funding sources, we are dependent on the availability of collateral, the counterparty’s willingness to lend to us, and their liquidity capacity.

Operational risks continue to increase

Our ability to adequately conduct and grow our business is dependent on our ability to create and maintain an appropriate operational and organizational control infrastructure. Operational risk can arise in numerous ways including security and data breaches, employee fraud, customer fraud, and control lapses in bank operations and information technology. Our dependence on automated systems, including the automated systems used by other entities and third parties, to record and process transactions may further increase the risk that technical failures or tampering of those systems will result in losses that are difficult to detect. We

 

60


Table of Contents

are also subject to disruptions of our operating systems arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond our control. Failure to maintain an appropriate operational infrastructure can lead to loss of service to customers, legal actions, and noncompliance with various laws and regulations.

We continue to encounter technological change

The financial services industry continues to experience an increase in technological complexity required to provide a competitive array of products and services to customers. Our future success depends in part on our ability to satisfactorily invest in and address our technology infrastructure to ensure that we can continue to provide products and services that meet the needs of our customers. Several of our principal competitors are much larger than we are, and thus have substantially greater resources to invest in their technological capabilities and infrastructure. We may not be able to satisfactorily address our technology needs in a timely and cost-effective manner, which could lead to a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and financial results of operations.

We rely on external vendors

Third party vendors provide key components of our business infrastructure including certain data processing and information services. Failures of these third parties to provide services for any reason could adversely affect our ability to deliver products and services to our customers. We maintain a robust control environment designed to monitor vendor risks including the financial stability of critical vendors. While we believe that our control environment is adequate, the failure of a critical external vendor could disrupt our business and cause us to incur significant expense.

We are subject to litigation risks

We face litigation risks as principal and fiduciary from customers, employees, vendors, federal and state regulatory agencies, and other parties who seek to assert single or class action liabilities against us. The frequency of claims and amount of damages and penalties claimed in litigation and regulatory proceedings against financial institutions remain high. Substantial legal liability or significant regulatory action against us may have material adverse financial effects or cause significant reputational harm. Although we carry insurance to mitigate our exposure to certain litigation risks, litigation could nevertheless adversely affect our results of operations.

We use accounting estimates in the preparation of our financial statements

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make significant estimates that affect the financial statements. Significant estimates include the allowance for loan and lease losses and the receivable from the FDIC for loss share agreements. Due to the uncertainty of the circumstances relating to these estimates, we may experience more adverse outcomes than originally estimated. The allowance for loan and lease losses may need to be significantly increased. The actual losses or expenses on loans or the losses or expenses not covered under the FDIC agreements may differ from the recorded amounts resulting in charges that could materially affect our results of operations.

Accounting standards may change

The Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission periodically modify the standards that govern the preparation of our financial statements. The nature of these changes is not predictable, and could impact how we record transactions in our financial statements, which could lead to material changes in assets, liabilities, shareholders’ equity, revenues, expenses and net income. In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in changes to previously reported financial results or a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. The application of new accounting rules or standards could require us to implement costly technology changes.

Deposit insurance premiums could increase further causing added pressure on our earnings

During 2009, due to a higher level of bank failures, the FDIC increased recurring deposit insurance premiums and imposed a special assessment on insured financial institutions. A new risk-based assessment formula was effective beginning April 1, 2011 that is subject to further revisions based on the balance in the Deposit Insurance Fund. This new formula is highly dependent on the risk rating determined by external regulators and the level of risk assets at each depository institution. Significant changes in these factors could result in a material increase in our insurance premiums.

Table of Contents

Integration of our FDIC-assisted acquisitions may be disruptive, and we have no assurance that future acquisitions will be approved

We must receive federal and state regulatory approvals before we can acquire a bank or bank holding company or acquire assets and assume liabilities of failed banks from the FDIC. Prior to granting approval, bank regulators consider, among other factors, the effect of the acquisition on competition, financial condition and future prospects including current and projected capital ratios, the competence, experience and integrity of management, compliance with laws, regulations, contracts and agreements and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, including the record of compliance under the Community Reinvestment Act. We cannot be certain when or if any required regulatory approvals will be granted or what conditions may be imposed by the approving authority.

In addition to the risks related to regulatory approvals, complications in the conversion of operating systems, data processing systems and products may result in the loss of customers, damage to our reputation, operational problems, one-time costs currently not anticipated, or reduced cost savings resulting from a merger or acquisition. The integration could result in higher than expected deposit attrition, loss of key employees, disruption of our businesses or the businesses of the acquired company or otherwise adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees or achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.

The acquisition gain that we have recorded in our financial statements is subject to adjustment

The acquisition gain recorded during 2011 is preliminary and subject to revision for a period of one year following the acquisition date. Adjustments to the gain may be recorded based on additional information received after the acquisition date that affected the acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Further downward adjustments in values of assets acquired or increases in values of liabilities assumed on the date of acquisition would lower the acquisition gain.

Our access to capital is limited and could impact our future growth

Based on existing capital levels, BancShares and FCB maintain well-capitalized ratios under current leverage and risk-based capital standards including the impact of the FDIC-assisted acquisitions. Historically, our primary capital sources have been retained earnings and debt issued through both private and public markets including trust preferred securities and subordinated debt. The Dodd-Frank Act contains provisions that will eliminate our ability to include $265.0 million of trust preferred securities in tier 1 risk-based capital beginning January 1, 2013 with total elimination on January 1, 2015. The inability to include the trust preferred securities in tier 1 risk-based capital may lead us to redeem a portion or all of the securities prior to their scheduled maturity dates. Since we have not historically raised capital through new issues of our common stock, replacement of the tier 1 capital will be difficult. A lack of access to tier 1 capital could limit our ability to consummate additional acquisitions, make new loans, meet our existing lending commitments, and could potentially affect our liquidity and capital adequacy.

The major rating agencies regularly evaluate our creditworthiness and assign credit ratings to our debt and FCB’s debt. The ratings of the agencies are based on a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control. In addition to factors specific to our financial strength and performance, the rating agencies also consider conditions generally affecting the financial services industry. In light of the difficulties currently confronting the financial services industry, there can be no assurance that we will maintain our current credit ratings. Rating reductions could adversely affect our access to funding sources and the cost of obtaining funding. Long-term debt ratings also affect deposit insurance premiums, and a reduction in FCB’s ratings would increase premiums and expense.

The market price of our stock may be volatile

Although publicly traded, our common stock has substantially less liquidity than other large publicly traded financial services companies as well as other companies listed on the NASDAQ National Market System. A relatively small percentage of our common stock is actively traded with average daily volume during 2011 of approximately 10,600 shares. This low liquidity increases the price volatility of our stock which may make it difficult for our shareholders to sell or buy our common stock when they deem a transaction is warranted at a price that they believe is attractive.

Excluding the impact of liquidity, the market price of our common stock can fluctuate widely in response to other factors including expectations of operating results, actual operating results, actions of institutional shareholders, speculation in the press or the investment community, market perception of acquisitions, rating agency upgrades or downgrades, stock prices of other companies that are similar to us, general market expectations related to the financial services industry and the potential impact of government actions affecting the financial services industry.

BancShares relies on dividends from FCB

As a financial holding company, BancShares is a separate legal entity from FCB and receives substantially all of its revenue and cash flow from dividends paid by FCB. The cash flow from these dividends is the primary source which allows BancShares to pay dividends on its common stock and interest and principal on its debt obligations. North Carolina state law limits the amount of dividends that FCB may pay to BancShares. In the event that FCB is unable to pay dividends to BancShares for an extended period of time, BancShares may not be able to service its debt obligations or pay dividends on its common stock.

The value of our goodwill may decline

As of June 30, 2011, we had $102.6 million of goodwill recorded as an asset on our balance sheet. We test goodwill for impairment at least annually, and the impairment test compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its net book value. A significant decline in our expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in the business climate, or a sustained decline in the price of our common stock may result in a write-off of impaired goodwill. Such write-off could have a significant impact on our results of operations, but would not impact our capital ratios as such ratios are calculated using tangible capital amounts.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

PURCHASES OF COMMON STOCK

In January 2011 the Board of Directors of First Citizens BancShares, Inc. (BOD) authorized the purchase of up to 50,000 shares of Class B common stock during the period from the date of the resolution through December 31, 2011, to be made in one or more privately negotiated transactions. In June 2011, BancShares entered into an agreement to purchase 37,688 shares of Class B common stock from a shareholder. There are currently no additional pending purchases.

Further, the BOD approved a stock trading plan (“the Plan”) on July 8, 2011. The Plan provides for the repurchase of up to 100,000 shares of BancShares’ Class A common stock, and up to 25,000 shares of its Class B common stock from time to time through June 30, 2012.

The following table provides the shares of Class B common stock repurchased by BancShares during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as well as shares that may be purchased under publicly announced plans.
