Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, June 30, 2011 (unaudited)

1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts and transactions of M&F Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Mechanics and Farmers Bank (the “Bank”). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes are unaudited except for the balance sheet and footnote information as of December 31, 2010, which were derived from the Company’s audited consolidated Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Consolidated Financial Statements included herein do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The unaudited operating results for the periods presented may not be indicative of annual results.

Reclassification—Certain amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2010 have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation. These reclassifications have had no impact on reported amounts of net income, stockholders’ equity or total assets.

New Accounting Pronouncements –

In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20.” This ASU required the disclosure of more granular information on the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings and their effect on the allowance for loan and lease losses effective for the Company’s reporting period ended March 31, 2011. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-01 deferred the effective date related to these disclosures, enabling creditors to provide such disclosures after the FASB completed their project clarifying the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. As the provisions of ASU No. 2011-01 only defer the effective date of disclosure requirements related to troubled debt restructurings, the adoption had no impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 provide additional guidance related to determining whether a creditor has granted a concession, include factors and examples for creditors to consider in evaluating whether a restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant, prohibit creditors from using the borrower’s effective rate test to evaluate whether a concession has been granted to the borrower, and add factors for creditors to use in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. A provision in ASU No. 2011-02 also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures related to troubled debt restructurings as required by ASU No. 2010-20. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 are effective for the Company’s reporting period ending September 30, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, “Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” ASU No. 2011-03 modifies the criteria for determining when repurchase agreements would be accounted for as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale. Currently, an entity that maintains effective control over transferred financial assets must account for the transfer as a secured borrowing rather than a sale. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-03 remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee. The FASB believes that contractual rights and obligations determine effective control and that there does not need to be a requirement to assess the ability to exercise those rights. ASU No. 2011-03 does not change the other existing criteria used in the assessment of effective control. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-03 are effective prospectively for transactions, or modifications of existing transactions, that occur on or after January 1, 2012. As the Company has no repurchase agreements, the adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements continued

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The changes to GAAP as a result of ASU No. 2011-04 are as follows: (1) The concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise are only relevant when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets (that is, it does not apply to financial assets or any liabilities); (2) GAAP currently prohibits application of a blockage factor in valuing financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets, whereas ASU No. 2011-04 extends that prohibition to all fair value measurements; (3) An exception is provided to the basic fair value measurement principles for an entity that holds a group of financial assets and financial liabilities with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk that are managed on the basis of the entity’s net exposure to either of those risks. This exception allows the entity, if certain criteria are met, to measure the fair value of the net asset or liability position in a manner consistent with how market participants would price the net risk position; (4) The fair value measurement of instruments classified within an entity’s shareholders’ equity is aligned with the guidance for liabilities; and (5) Disclosure requirements have been enhanced for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements to disclose quantitative information about unobservable inputs and assumptions used, to

describe the valuation processes used by the entity, and to describe the sensitivity of fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those inputs. In addition, entities must report the level in the fair value hierarchy of items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of condition but whose fair value must be disclosed. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-04 are effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s statements of income and condition.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The provisions of ASU No. 2011-05 allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The statement(s) are required to be presented with equal prominence as the other primary financial statements. ASU No. 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity but does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-05 are effective for the Company’s interim reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with retrospective application required. The Company adopted this ASU early. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 resulted in presentation changes to the Company’s statements of income and the addition of a statement of comprehensive income. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 did not have an impact on the Company’s statements of condition.

2.	INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The main objectives of our investment strategy are to provide a source of liquidity while managing our interest rate risk, and to generate an adequate level of interest income without taking undue risks. Our investment policy permits investments in various types of securities, certificates of deposits and federal funds sold in compliance with various restrictions in the policy. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, all investment securities were classified as available for sale.

Our available for sale securities totaled $31.3 million and $20.6 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Securities with a fair value of $0.6 million were pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB”) and an additional $4.8 million and $2.6 million in investments were pledged to public housing authorities in North Carolina and the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer as collateral for public deposits at June 30, 2011. Securities with a fair value of $0.6 million were pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB”) and an additional $0.4 million and $1.8 million in investments were pledged to public housing authorities in North Carolina and the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer as collateral for public deposits at December 31, 2010. Our investment portfolio consists of the following securities:

U.S. government agency securities (“US Agencies”)

U.S. Government sponsored residential mortgage backed securities (“MBS”),

Non-Government sponsored residential MBS, and

Municipal securities (“Municipals”):

North Carolina

Out of state

Sales and calls of securities available for sale for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 resulted in aggregate gross realized gains of $38 thousand and $26 thousand, respectively, and no realized losses. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 the Company realized gross gains of $25 thousand and $10 thousand, respectively, from the sale or call of securities.

The amortized cost and estimated market values of securities as of June 30, 2011 by contractual maturities are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. MBS, which are not due at a single maturity date, are grouped based upon the final payment date. MBS may mature earlier because of principal prepayments.

All securities owned as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are investment grade. The unrealized losses were attributable to changes in market interest rates. The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment, at least on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company held 10 and 20 investment positions, respectively, with unrealized losses of $31 thousand and $278 thousand, respectively. These investments were in Municipals, US Agencies, and MBS guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. Management has determined that all declines in the market value of available for sale securities are not other-than-temporary.

The Company has stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"), classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other Invested Assets, which is evaluated on a quarterly basis for other-than-temporary impairment. The FHLB has been issuing dividends and repurchasing excess stock on a pro-rata basis for several quarters. The Company believes that the investment in FHLB is not other-than-temporarily-impaired.

3.	RECONCILIATIONS OF BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE ("EPS")

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income after preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Basic EPS excludes the dilutive effect that could occur if any options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock were exercised. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period plus the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. There are no stock options or warrants outstanding for any of the periods being reported.

4.	ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes to the Company's equity, with the exception of transactions with stockholders. The Company's other comprehensive income and accumulated other comprehensive income are comprised of unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt securities and pension adjustments.

5.	LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Loans — Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an allowance for loan losses and net of deferred loan origination fees and costs. Nonrefundable loan fees, net of direct costs, associated with the origination or acquisition of loans are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the loan yield over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Interest on loans is accrued on the daily balances of unpaid principal outstanding. Interest income is accrued and credited to income only if deemed collectible. Other loan fees and charges, representing service costs for the prepayment of loans, for delinquent payments, or for miscellaneous loan services, are recorded in income when collected.

Non-Performing Loans and Leases — Generally, all classes of commercial loans and leases are placed on non-accrual status upon becoming contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest (unless loans and leases are adequately secured by collateral, are in the process of collection, and are reasonably expected to result in repayment), when loans are renegotiated below market levels until there is a sustained period of repayment (of a minimum of six months), or where substantial doubt about full repayment of principal or interest is evident. For residential mortgage and home equity loan classes, loans are placed on non-accrual status at the earlier of the loan becoming contractually past due 120 days or more as to principal or interest or upon taking of a partial charge-off on the loan. For automobile and other consumer loan classes, the entire outstanding balance on the loan is charged-off when the loan becomes 120 days past due as to principal or interest.

When a loan or lease is placed on non-accrual status, regardless of class, the accrued and unpaid interest receivable is reversed and the loan or lease is accounted for on the cash or cost recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual status. All payments received on non-accrual loans and leases are applied against the principal balance of the loan or lease. All classes of loans or leases may be returned to accrual status when all delinquent interest and principal become current in accordance with the terms of the loan or lease agreement and when doubt about repayment is resolved.

Generally, for all classes of loans and leases, a charge-off is recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and when it is possible to determine a reasonable estimate of the loss. For all classes of commercial loans and leases, a charge-off is determined on a judgmental basis after due consideration of the debtor's prospects for repayment and the fair value of collateral.

Impaired Loans — A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan, including scheduled interest payments. Impaired loans include all classes of commercial non-accruing loans. Impaired loans exclude smaller balance homogeneous loans (consumer and small business non-accruing loans), for which the loan to value supports full recovery through the collateral, that are collectively evaluated for impairment. All Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) loans are considered impaired until sustained performance under the revised terms has been achieved.

For all classes of commercial loans, a quarterly evaluation of specific individual commercial borrowers is performed to identify impaired loans. The identification of specific borrowers for review is based on a review of non-accrual loans as well as those loans specifically identified by management as exhibiting above average levels of risk.

When a loan has been identified as being impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price, or the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral-dependent. If the fair value measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest, net of deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premiums or discounts), an impairment is recognized or the difference is charged-off. Interest payments made on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest income may be accrued or recognized on a cash basis.

If a loan or a portion of a loan is classified as doubtful or is partially charged-off, the loan is generally classified as non-accrual. Loans that are on a current payment status or past due less than 90 days may also be classified as impaired if full repayment of principal and/or interest in accordance with the terms of the loan or lease agreement is in doubt.

Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment within an acceptable period of time, and there is a sustained period of repayment performance of interest and principal by the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms.

In the case where a non-accrual loan had been partially charged-off, recognition of interest on a cash basis is limited to that which would have been recognized on the remaining loan balance at the contractual interest rate. Receipts in excess of that amount are recorded as recoveries to the allowance for loan losses until prior charged-off balances have been fully recovered.

Loans Modified in a TDR — Loans are considered to have been modified in a TDR when, due to a borrower's financial difficulties, the Company makes certain concessions to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Modifications may include interest rate reductions, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearance, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Generally, a non-accrual loan that has been modified in a TDR will be removed from non-accrual status if it is clear the borrower will be able to perform under the revised terms after a minimum of six consecutive months of performance under the revised terms. If the borrower's ability to meet the revised payment schedule is in question, and the loan is not supported by adequate collateral, the loan is charged-off or foreclosed.

Allowances for Loan Losses — The provision for loan losses is the amount charged against earnings, to establish an adequate allowance for loan losses. Loan losses and recoveries are charged to or credited to this allowance, rather than reported as a direct expense or recovery. As of June 30, 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $4.2 million compared to $3.9 million as of December 31, 2010, which represented approximately 2.16% and 1.91% of total loans outstanding on those respective dates. Nonperforming assets, defined as non-accruing loans plus foreclosed properties, at June 30, 2011 were 5.82% of total assets compared to 4.64% at December 31, 2010. Nonperforming assets as percentage of total loans as of June 30, 2011 was 9.24% compared to 7.18% at December 31, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 the provision for loan losses decreased to $0.2 million from the 2010 provision of $0.3 million.

Of the non-accruing loans totaling $15.7 million at June 30, 2011, 92.28% of the outstanding balances are secured by real estate, which management believes mitigates the risk of loss. Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) in compliance with the modified terms totaled $7.9 million or 61.09% of total TDRs at June 30, 2011. GAAP does not provide specific guidance on when a loan may be returned to accrual status. Federal banking regulators have provided guidance that interest on impaired loans, including TDRs, should only be recorded when there has been a sustained period of repayment performance, the loan is well secured, and collection under any revised terms is assessed as probable. The Company currently uses this Federal banking regulators guidance.

In analyzing its allowance for loan losses, the Company tracks its net loan loss history by loan type. The quantitative net loss history utilizes the prior two year period by loan type for the reserve. The quantitative loss experience by loan type is then applied against the unimpaired loan balances and homogenous impaired balances for which there is no specific reserve to determine the quantitative reserve. Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310, the non-homogenous impaired loans, homogenous small balance real estate secured loans in process of foreclosure for which the value is less than the loan principal balance, and TDRs, are reviewed individually for impairment. The second piece of the calculation is based on qualitative factors, including (i) policy, underwriting, charge-off and collection (ii) national and local economic conditions, (iii) nature and volume of the portfolio, (iv) experience, ability, and depth of lending team, (v) trends of past due, classified loans, and restructurings, (vi) quality of loan review and board oversight, (vii) existence, levels, and effect of loan concentrations and (viii) effects of external factors such as competition and regulatory oversight, are adjusted quarterly based on historical information for any quantifiable factors, and applied in total to each loan balance by loan type. The Company continues to enhance its modeling of the portfolio and underlying risk factors through quarterly analytical reviews with the goal of ensuring it captures all pertinent factors contributing to risk of loss inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company applies additional qualitative factors for non-homogenous classified loans including special mention, substandard, and doubtful loans not identified as impaired, when the loan has a loan to value exceeding 50% of the outstanding balance and is not current in its payments.

Management considers trends in internally risk-rated exposures, criticized exposures, cash-basis loans, and historical and forecasted write-offs. In addition to a review of industry, geographic, and portfolio concentrations, including current developments within those segments, management considers the current business strategy and credit process, including credit-limit setting and compliance, credit approvals, loan underwriting criteria and loan workout procedures. The quantitative portion of the allowance for loan losses is adjusted for qualitative factors to account for model imprecision and to incorporate the range of probable outcome inherent in the estimates used for the allowance.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when the scheduled payments reach 90 days past due. Loans are charged-off, with Board approval, when the Chief Credit Officer and his staff determine that all reasonable means of collection of the outstanding balances, except through foreclosure, have been exhausted. The Company continues its collection efforts subsequent to charge-off, which historically has resulted in some recoveries each year.

For all classes of commercial loans, a quarterly evaluation of specific individual borrowers is performed to identify impaired loans. The identification of specific borrowers for review is based on a review of non-accrual loans as well as those loans specifically identified by management as exhibiting above average levels of risk through the loan classification. The allowance for loan and lease losses attributed to impaired loans considers all available evidence, including as appropriate, the probability that a specific loan will default, the expected exposure of a loan in default, an estimate of loss given default, the present value of expected future cash flows discounted using the loan’s contractual effective rate, the secondary market value of the loan and the fair value of collateral.

A specific loss allowance is established for impaired loans based on significant conditions or circumstances related to the specific credits. The specific allowance amounts are determined by a method prescribed by ASC 310. The loans identified as impaired are accounted for in accordance with one of three valuations: (i) the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (ii) the loan’s observable market price, or (iii) the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent, less estimated liquidation costs. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, alternate use of special purpose real estate which could adversely impact resale, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls are considered on a loan by loan basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Interest payments made on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest income maybe accrued or recognized on a cash basis.

The Company's reserve for credit losses is comprised of two components, the allowance for loan and lease losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments (the "Unfunded Reserve"). The Unfunded Reserve is reflected in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the expense is recorded in Other noninterest expense.

Most consumer loans are evaluated for impairment on a collective basis, because these loans are for smaller balances and are homogeneous. Impairment reserves are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for loan losses.

The Company applies additional qualitative factors for classified loans including special mention, substandard, internal watch, and doubtful loans not identified as impaired, when the loan has a loan to value exceeding 50% of the outstanding balance and is not current in its payments.

The process of assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is inherently subjective. Further, and particularly in terms of economic downturns, it is reasonably possible that future credit losses may exceed historical loss levels and may also exceed management’s current estimates of incurred credit losses inherent within the loan portfolio. As such, there can be no assurance that future loan charge-offs will not exceed management’s current estimate of what constitutes a reasonable allowance for loan losses.

The Company and the Bank are subject to periodic examination by their federal and state banking regulators, and may be required by such regulators to recognize additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their assessment of credit information available to them at the time of their examinations.

The composition of the loan portfolio, net of deferred fees and costs, by loan classification as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was as follows:

The Bank has a concentration of loans to faith-based non-profit organizations, in which the Bank has specialized lending experience. As of June 30, 2011, the percentage of loans in this niche, which included construction, owner occupied real estate secured, and other loans, comprised approximately 46.0% of the total loan portfolio The reserve allocated for these loans is 28.7% of the total allowance. Historically the Bank has experienced low levels of loan losses in this niche; however, repayment of these loans is generally dependent on voluntary contributions, some of which have been adversely affected by the current economic downturn.

In 2010, management enhanced its loan-related disclosure classifications in its financial reports to present portfolio segments. A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic methodology to determine its allowance for loan losses.

The Company experienced $220 thousand in net loan recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $36 thousand in net loan charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company experienced $1 thousand in net loan recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $30 thousand in net loan charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2010. In a rolling eight quarter basis, net loan charge-offs as a percent of average loan balances outstanding decreased from 0.82% as of June 30, 2010 to 0.70% as of December 31, 2010, and increased one basis point (“bp”) to 0.71% as of June 30, 2011.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans for impairment by the loan's classification as to credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogenous loans, such as commercial, commercial real estate and faith-based non–profit entities, and mortgage loans in process of foreclosure for which the loan to value does not support repayment in full. This analysis is performed on at least a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. These loans exhibit a moderate likelihood of some loss related to those loans and leases that are considered special mention.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of or repayment according to the original terms of the debt. Substandard loans include loans within the mortgage and consumer portfolio segments that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest if the loan to value does not support full repayment. Substandard loans are evaluated for impairment on an individual loan basis unless the substandard loan is a smaller balance homogenous loan that is not a TDR. Thses loans exhibit a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies related to the loans is not corrected in a timely manner.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements continued

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

Pass. Loans are classified as pass in all classes within the commercial, faith-based non-profit, mortgage, consumer, and other portfolio segments that are not identified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful, are contractually current as to principal and interest, and are otherwise in compliance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. These loans exhibit a low likelihood of loss related to those loans that are considered pass.

Management’s definitions of risk characteristics were reviewed and updated during 2010.

As of June 30, 2011, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

The Company has federal funds lines of credit with three correspondent banks totaling $12.0 million. The Company periodically tests its federal funds lines of credit with these correspondent banks. These lines were tested in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The Company had unused borrowing capacity with the FHLB of $7.9 million and $10.2 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

7.	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Bank sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit cash balance pension plan (the “Cash Balance Plan”), covering all employees who qualify under length of service and other requirements. Under the Cash Balance Plan, retirement benefits are based on years of service and average earnings. The Bank’s funding policy is to contribute amounts to the Cash Balance Plan sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), plus such additional amounts as the Bank may determine to be appropriate. The contributions to the Cash Balance Plan paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $53 thousand and $100 thousand, respectively. The contributions paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, totaled $53 thousand for both periods. The Cash Balance Plan was not fully funded as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Bank expects to provide $0.4 million in funding to the Cash Balance Plan in 2011. The measurement date for the Cash Balance Plan is December 31 and prior service costs and benefits are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active participants.

The Bank sponsors a nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The SERP, which is unfunded, provides certain individuals with pension benefits, outside the Bank’s noncontributory defined-benefit Cash Balance Plan, based on average earnings, years of service and age at retirement. Participation in the SERP is at the discretion of the Bank’s Board of Directors. The Company and Bank purchased bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) in 2002, in the aggregate amount of approximately $13.0 million face value covering all the participants in the SERP. Increases in the cash value of the BOLI policies totaled $49 thousand and $97 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. During the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2010 the cash value of the BOLI policies increased $55 thousand and $102 thousand, respectively. The cash value of the BOLI owned by the Bank was $5.7 million and $5.6 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Bank has the ability and the intent to keep this life insurance in force indefinitely. The insurance proceeds may be used, at the sole discretion of the Bank, to fund the benefits payable under the SERP. The Bank does not expect to contribute to the SERP in 2011.

The Bank had a liability for the Cash Balance Plan of $1.4 million for both periods ending June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The liability is included in Other Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accrued liability and accumulated benefit obligations for the SERP was $2.1 million for both periods ending June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The balance is included in Other Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The June 30, 2011 fair value of the pension plan assets is immaterially different from what was reported for December 31, 2010 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-.

Retirement Plan Assets— In general, the plan’s investment management organizations make reasonable efforts to control market fluctuations through appropriate techniques including, but not limited to, adequate diversification. The specific investment strategy adopted by the plan, referred to as the Long Term Growth of Capital Strategy attempts to achieve long-term growth of capital with little concern for current income. Typical investors in this portfolio have a relatively aggressive investment philosophy, seeking long term growth, and are not looking for current dividend income.

Prohibited investments include commodities and futures contracts, private placements, options, transactions which would result in unrelated business taxable income, and other investments prohibited by ERISA.

Equity investments must be listed on the New York, American, World, or other similar stock exchanges traded in the over-the-counter market with the requirement that such stocks have adequate liquidity relative to the size of the investment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements continued

Fixed income investments must have a credit rating of B or better from Standard and Poor’s or Moody’s. The fixed income portfolio should be constructed so as to have an average maturity not exceeding 10 years. No more than 5% of the fixed income portfolio should be invested in any one issuer. (U.S. treasury and agency securities are exempt from this restriction.)

Cash and equivalent instruments that are acceptable are repurchase agreements, bankers’ acceptances, U.S. treasury bills, money market funds, and certificates of deposit.

The portfolio shall be structured to meet financial objectives over a period of 11 or more years. Over that time horizon, the total rate of return should equal at least 103% of the applicable blended benchmark returns and place in the top half of group performance. Benchmarks which may be used for portfolio performance comparison are as follows:

U.S. Large Cap Equities: S&P 500, Russell 1000, Russell 1000 Value, and Russell 1000 Growth

U.S. Mid Cap Equities: S&P 400 Mid Cap, Russell Mid Cap Value, and Russell Mid Cap Growth

U.S. Small Cap Equities: S&P 600 Small Cap, Russell 2000 Value, and Russell 2000 Growth

Non-U.S. Equities: MSCI EAFE IL

Fixed Income: Lehman Brothers Intermediate Govt./Corp.

Cash: U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill

401(k) Plan —The Bank sponsors a 401(k) plan. Participation in the 401(k) plan is voluntary. Employees become eligible after completing 90 days of service and attaining age 21. Employees may elect to contribute up to 12% of their compensation to the 401(k) plan. The Bank matches 100% of each employee’s contribution, up to a maximum of 6% of compensation. The Bank’s contributions to the 401(k) plan were $50 thousand and $94 thousand, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The Bank’s contributions to the 401(k) plan were $22 thousand and $72 thousand, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Deferred Compensation Plan —The Bank sponsors a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The plan, which is unfunded, permits certain management employees to defer compensation in order to provide retirement and death benefits. The plan allows participants to receive the balance of the 6% Bank matching contribution on the 401(k) plan that would otherwise be forfeited to comply with the Internal Revenue Code. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the amount of the non-qualified deferred compensation plan liability was $0.3 million.

Post-retirement Benefits —The Bank provides certain post-retirement benefits to select former executive officers. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the amount of the liability for these benefits was approximately $0.2 million.

Split Dollar Benefits —In 2002, upon investing in BOLI policies, the Company granted certain executives a split dollar life benefit by which the beneficiaries of the executive would receive a portion of the non-cash surrender value death benefit of the BOLI upon the executive’s demise. Thereafter, amounts are accrued by a charge to employee benefits. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $0.2 million was recorded in other liabilities for the split dollar benefit.

8.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contractual amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Bank’s exposure to credit losses in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank utilizes the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is not a violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank, upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter parties. Collateral varies and may include real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. To the extent deemed necessary, collateral of varying types and amounts is held to secure customer performance under certain of those letters of credit outstanding.

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, are commitments to extend credit (including availability of lines of credit), and standby letters of credit. Loan commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral deemed necessary by the Bank is based on management’s credit evaluation and underwriting guidelines for the particular loan.

Commitments outstanding at June 30, 2011 are summarized in the following table:

9.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data. Fair value measurements are required to be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company bases fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

For assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon estimates, are often calculated based on the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values.

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 — Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange.

Level 2 — Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources via independent providers for market transactions involving similar assets or liabilities. The Company’s principal market for these securities is the secondary institutional markets and valuations are based on observable market data in those markets. Level 2 securities include U. S. Agencies,, State and Municipal bonds and MBS.

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

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis:

AFS Investment Securities: Investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Level 1 securities include those traded on nationally recognized securities exchanges, U.S. Treasury securities, and Money Market funds. Level 2 securities include U.S. Agencies, MBS issued by government sponsored entities, State and Municipal bonds and Corporate Debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Mortgage Serving Rights: Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable market data. As a result, the Company estimates the fair value of mortgage servicing rights by using a discounted cash flow model to calculate the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The Company stratifies its mortgage servicing portfolio on the basis of loan type. The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model are those that we believe market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of loan prepayment rates, servicing costs, ancillary income, impound account balances, and discount rates. Significant assumptions in the valuation of mortgage servicing rights include changes in interest rates, estimated loan repayment rates, and the timing of cash flows, among other factors. Mortgage servicing rights are classified as Level 3 measurements due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, as well as significant management judgment and estimation.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis:

Impaired loans: Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, and are carried at the lower of cost or market value. Market value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans or net present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraisal value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraisal value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral has deteriorated below the appraisal value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory, and/or accounts receivable. The value of business equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable collateral is based on net book value on the business’ financial statements and, if necessary, discounted based on management’s review and analysis. Appraised and reported values may be discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and the client’s selling costs and other expenses. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”): Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value, less estimated carrying costs and costs to sell, upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value, less estimated carry costs and costs to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral, or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. The Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2011 were:

(Dollars in thousands) (Unaudited)	June 30,		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs

The Company discloses estimated fair values for its significant financial instruments. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for other financial assets and liabilities are discussed below.

The Company had no transfers between any of the three levels in 2010 or 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount of cash, due from banks, and federal funds sold approximates fair value.

Other Invested Assets: The carrying value of other invested assets approximates fair value based on redemption provisions.

Loans (other than impaired), net of allowances for loan losses: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. The majority of the Company’s loans and lending-related commitments are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, nor are they actively traded.

The fair value of performing loans is typically calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through their estimated maturity, using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in each group of loans. The estimate of maturity is based on contractual maturities for loans within each group, or on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified as required by an estimate of the effect of current economic conditions. The Bank does not use an illiquid discount when valuing the loan portfolio.

For all loans, assumptions regarding the characteristics and segregation of loans, maturities, credit risk, cash flows, and discount rates are judgmentally determined using specific borrower and other available information.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable: The fair value of interest receivable and payable is estimated to approximate the carrying amounts.

Deposits: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, checking accounts, savings and money market accounts, is equal to the carrying amount. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows, where the discount rate is estimated using the market rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings: The fair value of borrowings is based on the discounted value of estimated cash flows. The discounted rate is estimated using market rates currently offered for similar advances or borrowings.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments: Since the majority of the Company’s off-balance sheet instruments consist of non fee-producing, variable rate commitments, the Company has determined they do not have a distinguishable fair value.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying amounts and associated estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities of the Company are as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2011				December 31, 2010

10.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

On August 5, 2011, Standards and Poors (“S&P”) downgraded the United States long-term credit rating from AAA to AA+, with a negative outlook indicating that a further downgrade is possible. This downgrade, or further downgrades if they were to occur, could affect the market for securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government, and we could suffer a loss in the fair value of our investment portfolio that we record through accumulated other comprehensive income on our balance sheet. At June 30, 2011, we had approximately $23.9 million of fair value invested in U.S. government agency securities and residential mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Deterioration in the valuation or liquidity of our investment securities could lead counterparties to require additional collateral for our borrowings or pledges for public deposits. Continuing uncertainty in the economic, political and financial markets and the ongoing sovereign debt crisis in Europe could also impact our borrowers and could negatively affect our credit portfolio.

Following the ratings downgrade by S&P, various federal banking agencies issued a joint release indicating that for regulatory purposes the downgrade does not affect the risk weightings assigned to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises. At this time, we cannot assess the likelihood or severity of any further downgrade or the potential consequences these factors may have on our capital position, financial condition or future earnings of the Company.

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion and analysis is intended to aid the reader in understanding and evaluating the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. This discussion is designed to provide more comprehensive information about the major components of the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, and capital resources than may be obtained from reading the financial statements alone. This discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, including the related notes thereto presented under Item I in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All information presented is consolidated data unless otherwise specified.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements represent expectations and beliefs of M&F Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and Mechanics and Farmers Bank (the “Bank”), including but not limited to the Company’s operations, performance, financial condition, growth or strategies. These forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “should”, “estimates”, “believes” and variations of these words and other similar statements. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve estimates, assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current projections depending on a variety of important factors, including without limitation:

Concerns regarding the recent downgrade of the U.S. government’s credit rating could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poor’s lowered its long term sovereign credit rating on the United States of America from AAA to AA+. On August 8, 2011 Standard & Poor’s also lowered the credit rating of several related government agencies and institutions, including FHLMC, FNMA, the Federal Farm Credit Bank, and the FHLB, from AAA to AA+. While U.S. lawmakers reached agreement to raise the federal debt ceiling on August 2, 2011, the downgrade, according to Standard & Poor’s, reflects its view that the fiscal consolidation plan within that agreement fell short of what would be necessary to stabilize the U.S. government’s medium term debt dynamics. This downgrade could have material adverse impacts on financial and banking markets and economic conditions in the United States and throughout the world and, in turn, the market’s anticipation of these impacts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and liquidity. In particular, it could increase interest rates and disrupt payment systems, money markets, and long-term or short-term fixed income markets, adversely affecting the cost and availability of funding, which could negatively affect our profitability. It may also negatively affect the value and liquidity of the government securities we hold in our investment portfolio and could result in our counterparties or certain municipal depositors with collateral pledge requirements requiring us to post additional or alternative collateral for our borrowings or deposits. The adverse consequences as a result of the downgrade could extend to the borrowers of the loans we make and, as a result, could adversely affect our borrowers’ ability to repay their loans and, accordingly, affect our credit quality. Because of the unprecedented nature of the negative credit rating actions with respect to U.S. government obligations, the ultimate impacts on markets and our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations are unpredictable and may not be immediately apparent. These consequences could be exacerbated if other statistical rating agencies, particularly Moody’s and Fitch, decide to downgrade the U.S. government’s credit rating in the future.

We are likely to be impacted by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which became law on July 21, 2010. Much of the Act will require the adoption of regulations by a number of different regulatory bodies, the precise nature, extent and timing of many of these reforms and the impact on us is still uncertain;

IMPACT OF RECENT DEVELOPMENTS ON THE BANKING INDUSTRY

Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Act on July 21, 2010. This new law significantly changed the current bank regulatory structure and affected the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act is a significant piece of legislation that will have major effects on the financial services industry, including the Company, and the financial condition and operations of banks and bank holding companies, including the Bank. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new implementing rules and regulations, and to prepare numerous studies and reports for Congress. The federal agencies are given significant discretion in drafting the implementing rules and regulations. Although some of these regulations have been promulgated or issued for comment in recent months, many of these required regulations are still being drafted. Consequently, many of the details and much of the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for many months or years.

Certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will have a near-term effect on us. For example, the federal prohibitions on paying interest on demand deposits were eliminated on July 21, 2011, thus allowing businesses to have interest bearing checking accounts. Depending on competitive responses, this significant change to existing law could have an adverse effect on our interest expense and could adversely impact our ability to compete with larger financial institutions that have more diverse sources of revenues which may allow them to offer higher interest rates on certain types of demand deposit accounts. Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are focused on financial institutions that are significantly larger than the Company and the Bank. As rules and regulations are promulgated by the federal agencies, the Bank will have to address each to ensure compliance with applicable provisions of the Act and compliance costs are expected to increase.

It is expected that the Dodd-Frank Act and the regulations it requires could increase the interest expense of the Bank and comparable financial institutions. Although neither the possible increase in the Bank’s interest expense, nor any one or more of the other aspects of Dodd-Frank Act discussed above may have a material effect upon the Company’s future financial performance by themselves, the specific impact of the Dodd-Frank Act cannot be determined with specificity until after all required or otherwise proposed regulations are issued in final form. We believe that our operating income will be adversely affected, as will the operating expenses of other community financial institutions, in the future as a consequence of the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act. Because of the current uncertainty about the schedule of implementation, the breadth of the regulations expected to be issued, and other similar factors, we cannot quantify the amount of any adverse impact.

The banking industry, including the Company, is operating in a challenging and volatile economic environment. The effects of the downturn in the housing market have adversely impacted credit markets, consumer confidence and the broader economy. Although the Bank remains profitable, it has not been immune to the impact of the recent recession or the increased focus of banking regulators upon capital and liquidity levels.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As discussed in more detail below, the following is an executive summary of the Company’s significant results for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Net income before preferred stock dividends was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, net income available to common stockholders was $43 thousand, or $0.02 per common share. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, net income available to common stockholders was $122 thousand, or $0.06 per common share.

Interest income on loans decreased by $0.3 million or 9.72% while interest income on investments and cash increased $86 thousand resulting in total interest income being $0.2 million less in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. Average loans outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $11.6 million from the June 30, 2010 level of $218.3 million, and the rate for average loan interest earned decreased 26 bps compared to June 30, 2010, in part due to the increase in non-performing assets during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $0.2 million and interest expense on borrowings remained unchanged, resulting in total interest expense being $0.2 million less in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. Average interest-bearing deposits outstanding increased $27.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 from the level on June 30, 2010; however, the average cost of those deposits decreased 44 bps in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in June 30, 2010. Average borrowings in the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased slightly compared to the June 30, 2010 balance, and the cost of those borrowings remained unchanged.

Net interest income, due to the above factors, decreased $55 thousand, or 1.96% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent (“TE”) basis for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 3.83% compared to 4.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 39 bps.

The ending balance of the Allowance for Loan Losses as a percentage of loans outstanding increased in 2011 to 2.16% as of June 30, 2011 compared to 1.91% as of December 31, 2010. The provision for loan losses increased $0.3 million due to an increase in specific reserves for impaired loans.

Noninterest income increased slightly by $0.1 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 over the same period in 2010, mainly due to a realized gain on on sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”), partially offset by declines in service charge fees.

Noninterest expense decreased $97 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2011 over the same period in 2010 largely driven by a decrease in OREO related expenses. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in salaries and employees benefits.

Preferred stock dividends in the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 were $59 thousand and $147 thousand, respectively. The reduction in preferred dividends was the result of a reduction in the dividend yield from 5% to 2% for June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

As discussed in more detail below, the following is an executive summary of the Company’s significant results for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Net income before preferred stock dividends was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net income available to common stockholders was $0.3 million, or $0.17 per common share. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income available to common stockholders was $0.2 million, or $0.10 per common share.

Interest income on loans decreased by $0.6 million or 9.58% while interest income on investments and cash increased $0.1 million resulting in total interest income declining $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. Average loans outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $10.6 million from the June 30, 2010 level, and the rate for average loan interest earned decreased 28 bps compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, mainly due to the increase in non-performing assets during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $0.3 million and interest expense on borrowings declined 3 bps, resulting in total interest expense being $0.3 million less in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. Average interest-bearing deposits outstanding increased $25.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 from June 30, 2010; however, the average cost of those deposits decreased 40 bps in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in June 30, 2010. Average borrowings in the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased $0.7 million compared to the June 30, 2010 balance, and the cost of those borrowings decreased 3 bps during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.

M&F BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Net interest income, due to the above factors, decreased $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The net interest margin, on a TE basis for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 3.83% compared to 4.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, a decrease of 47 bps.

The ending balance of the Allowance for Loan Losses as a percentage of loans outstanding increased to 2.16% as of June 30, 2011 compared to 1.91% as of December 31, 2010. While the coverage increased during 2011, the $10.6 million decrease in average loans outstanding compared to December 31, 2010, and net recoveries of $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011, resulted in management's estimate of a lower provision required to cover the estimated inherent losses in the loan portfolio. As a direct result, the Company recorded a loan provision of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a loan provision of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Noninterest income increased by $0.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 over the same period in 2010, mainly due to a realized gain on the disposal of assets and sale of OREO, partially offset by declines in service charge fees.

Noninterest expense increased slightly by $2 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2011 over the same period in 2010 with an increase of $0.3 million in salaries and employee benefits, which was mostly offset by a decline in miscellaneous charge-offs, FDIC insurance expense, and OREO expenses.

Preferred stock dividends in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 were $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The reduction in preferred dividends was the result of a reduction in the dividend yield from 5% to 2% for June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for loan losses, investment values, income taxes, contingencies, and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and the Company may be exposed to gains or losses that could be material.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed below and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Management believes that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the Company’s reported financial results, and they require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Allowance for Loan Losses – The Company records an estimated allowance for loan losses based on known problem loans and estimated risks inherent within the existing loan portfolio. The allowance calculation takes into account historical loss trends and current market and economic conditions. If economic conditions were to decline significantly or the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional increases to the allowance may be required.

Investments – The Company records an investment impairment charge when it believes an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary. Future adverse changes in market conditions and associated market values of investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.

Deferred Taxes – The Company assesses the need to record a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers anticipated future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in determining the need for the valuation allowance which, at this time, it deems not to be necessary. In the event the Company were to determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax asset in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

M&F BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Foreclosed Assets– Foreclosed assets represent properties acquired through foreclosure or physical possession. Write-downs to fair value of foreclosed assets at the time of transfer are charged to allowance for loan losses. Subsequent to foreclosure, the Company periodically evaluates the value of foreclosed assets held for sale and records an impairment charge for any subsequent declines in fair value less selling costs. Subsequent declines in value are charged to operations. Fair value is based on an assessment of information available at the end of a reporting period and depends upon a number of factors, including historical experience, economic conditions, and issues specific to individual properties. The evaluation of these factors involves subjective estimates and judgments that may change.

Fair Value Estimates– Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of management judgment involved in determining the fair value of a financial instrument is dependent upon the availability of quoted market prices or observable market inputs. For financial instruments that are traded actively and have quoted market prices or observable market inputs, there is minimal subjectivity involved in measuring fair value. However, when quoted market prices or observable market inputs are not fully available, significant management judgment may be necessary to estimate fair value. In developing our fair value measurements, we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The fair value hierarchy defines Level 1 and 2 valuations as those that are based on quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets and quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 valuations are based on model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Financial assets that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include available-for-sale investment securities, and mortgage servicing rights.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2011 compared with three months ended June 30, 2010

Net income before preferred stock dividends was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $43 thousand or $0.02 per share. Net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $122 thousand or $0.06 per share.

Net operating income before income taxes and preferred dividends for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Net interest margin decreased from 4.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to 3.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 due to:

Average loans outstanding decreased $11.6 million in 2011 over 2010, while yields on average loans decreased from 6.04% for the three months ending June 30, 2010 to 5.78% for the three months ending June 30, 2011, resulting in $0.3 million lower interest income from loans. Income from loans decreased in part due to the decrease in average loans outstanding, as well as a $5.1 million increase in average non-accrual loans to $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, non-accrued interest income was $1.5 million, or a 63.8% increase over the non-accrued interest income at June 30, 2010, of $0.9 million.

Average interest bearing deposits outstanding increased $27.3 million in 2011 over 2010. Despite the large increase in average deposits, interest expense declined by $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to a reduction in our average yield on deposits.

Average borrowings outstanding decreased $2 thousand from the 2010 average balance, and the average rate paid on borrowings remained flat at 0.5%.

Noninterest income increased $0.1 million in 2011 from 2010, predominantly due to the realized gain on sale of OREO. The realized gain was offset by declines in service charge fees.

Noninterest expense decreased in 2011 by $97 thousand. An increase in salaries and employee benefits mainly due to additions in problem asset management was partially offset by declines in FDIC deposit insurance and OREO expenses.

The above decrease in the net interest income was amplified by an increase in the loan provision from $0.1 million to $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010, and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income, the difference between total interest income from loans and investments, and total interest expenses from deposits and borrowings, is the Company’s principal source of earnings. The amount of net interest income is determined by the volume of interest-earning assets, the level of rates earned on those assets, and the volume and cost of underlying funding from deposits and borrowings. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $55 thousand, or 1.96%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest margin is the total of net interest income divided by average earning assets. Average earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $290.8 million, up 7.76% compared to $269.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. On a fully TE basis, net interest margin was 3.83% and 4.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The net interest spread decreased 36 bps to 3.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, from 4.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.34% and 5.14% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, a decrease of 80 bps, while the interest rate on average interest-bearing liabilities for those periods was 0.66% and 1.10%, respectively, a decrease of 44 bps due to the ongoing low interest rate environment.

The Company’s balance sheet remains asset sensitive and, as a result, interest-earning assets are repricing faster than interest-bearing liabilities. As loans and time deposits mature and reprice, the margin may be negatively impacted based on competitive pricing to retain these loans and deposits.

Interest income decreased 4.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $3.1 million, from $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The average balances of loans, which had overall yields of 5.78% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 6.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, decreased from $208.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $196.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The average balance of investment securities increased $11.4 million from $16.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $27.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The TE yield on investment securities decreased from 5.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to 3.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. In the low interest rate environment, higher yield investments that are amortizing or being called are not being replaced by the same yields on new investments. The average balances of federal funds and other short-term investments increased from $45.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $66.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and the average yield in this category increased 7 bps from 0.17% to 0.24% over the same time period. This increase in the average balances year over year for federal funds sold and other short-term investments also has a negative impact on net interest margin. The average deposit yield increased due to actively managing the cash at a higher yielding deposit account.

Interest expense decreased 31.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, to $0.4 million, from $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Average total interest-bearing deposits, including savings, interest-bearing demand deposits and time deposits increased from $193.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, to $220.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 44 bps from 1.10% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to 0.66% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily caused by the decreases in rates paid on time deposits.

The average rate on borrowings remained flat at 0.53% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The average borrowings outstanding decreased $2 thousand from the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the three months ended June 30, 2011. The interest expense on borrowed funds remained unchanged at $1 thousand in 2011 compared to 2010.

The following table, Average Balances, Interest Earned or Paid, and Interest Yields/Rates reflects the Company’s effective yield on earning assets and cost of funds. Yields and costs are computed by dividing income or expense for the year by the respective daily average asset or liability balance. Changes in net interest income from year to year can be explained in terms of fluctuations in volume and rate. In the table, the amount earned on nontaxable securities is reflected as actual, whereas the rate on nontaxable securities is stated at the TE rate.

(4) Net interest spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

(5) Net interest margin represents net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased 16.89%, or $0.1 million, for three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily the result of a realized gain from the sale of of OREO. In June 2011, the Company sold a branch that it closed in September of 2009 for a gain that comprised the majority of the realized gain for the quarter. The realized gain was offset by a reduction in service charge fees.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense represents the costs of operating the Company and the Bank. Management regularly monitors all categories of noninterest expense with the goal of improving productivity and operating performance. Noninterest expense decreased 3.26% to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The largest impacts to noninterest expense was an increase in salaries and employee benefits, offset by reductions in OREO expenses, and miscellaneous charge-offs.

Salary and employee benefits expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 were $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The full time equivalent employees increased from 71 as of June 30, 2010 to 75 as of June 30, 2011, mainly due to additions in problem asset management, resulting in an increase in salaries and wages expense. Benefits increased $54 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to increased retirement benefit costs associated with the Company’s deferred compensation plans.

Occupancy expense remained flat at $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from the same period in 2010.

Data processing and communications costs decreased by 14.07%, or $28 thousand, to $171 thousand in 2011, mainly due to decreased core processing charges.

Directors and advisory board fees was steady at $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Professional fees decreased by $6 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010. All other noninterest expense, also, remained relatively flat when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2011 to the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $39 thousand and $75 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The overall effective rate increased from a tax expense of 21.80% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 to a tax expense of 27.66% in the three months ended June 30, 2011, due to a decrease in tax exempt interest income and permanent tax to book differences decreasing.

Six months ended June 30, 2011 compared with six months ended June 30, 2010

Net income before preferred stock dividends was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010. Net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.3 million or $0.17 per share. Net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.2 million or $0.10 per share.

Net operating income before income taxes and preferred dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 was $0.6 million.

Net interest margin decreased from 4.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 3.83% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to:

Average loans outstanding decreased $10.6 million in 2011 over 2010 and average yield decreased from 6.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 5.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, resulting in $0.6 million less interest income from loans. Interest income from loans decreased in part due to the decrease in average loans outstanding, as well as a $4.4 million increase in average non-accrual loans to $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, non-accrued interest income was $1.5 million, or a 63.8% increase over the non-accrued interest income at June 30, 2010, of $0.9 million.

Average interest bearing deposits outstanding increased $25.1 million in 2011 over 2010. Despite the large increase in average deposits, interest expense declined by $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to a reduction in our average yield on deposits.

Average borrowings outstanding decreased $0.7 million from the 2010 average balance, and the average rate paid on borrowings decreased from 0.56% in 2010 to 0.53% in 2011

Noninterest income increased $0.1 million in 2011 from 2010, predominantly due to the realized gain on disposal of assets and sale of OREO. The realized gains were offset by declines in service charge fees.

Noninterest expense increased in 2011 by $2 thousand. An increase in salaries and employee benefits was offset by declines in FDIC insurance expense, and OREO expenses.

The above increase in the net interest income was offset by a reduction in loan provision of $0.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $0.2 million, contrasted with a loan provision of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income, the difference between total interest income from loans and investments, and total interest expenses from deposits and borrowings, is the Company’s principal source of earnings. The amount of net interest income is determined by the volume of interest-earning assets, the level of rates earned on those assets, and the volume and cost of underlying funding from deposits and borrowings. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $0.2 million, or 3.41%, from $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Net interest spread is the difference between rates earned on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest margin is the total of net interest income divided by average earning assets. Average earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $287.8 million, up 8.25% compared to $265.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. On a fully TE basis, net interest margin was 3.83% and 4.30% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The net interest spread decreased 29 bps to 3.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from 3.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The yield on average interest-earning assets was 4.37% and 5.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively, a decrease of 69 bps, while the interest rate on average interest-bearing liabilities for those periods was 0.70% and 1.10%, respectively, a decrease of 40 bps due to the ongoing low interest rate environment.

Interest income decreased 7.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $6.2 million, from $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The average balances of loans, which had overall yields of 5.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 6.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, decreased from $208.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $198.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The average balance of investment securities increased $7.5 million from $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $24.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The TE yield on investment securities decreased from 5.40% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 4.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. In the low interest rate environment, higher yield investments that are amortizing or being called are not being replaced by the same yields on new investments. The average balances of federal funds and other short-term investments increased from $25.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $65.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, and the average yield in this category increased 9 bps from 0.16% to 0.25% over the same time period. This increase in the average balances year over year for federal funds sold and other short-term investments also has a negative impact on net interest margin. The average deposit yield increased due to actively managing the cash at a higher yielding deposit account.

The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 40 bps from 1.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 0.70% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, primarily caused by the decreases in rates paid on time deposits.

The average rate on borrowings decreased from 0.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 0.53% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased 10.43%, or $0.1 million, for six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily the result of realized gain from the disposal of an asset and the sale of OREO. In June 2011, the Company sold a branch that it closed in September of 2009 for a gain that comprised the majority of the realized gain for the period. The realized gain was offset by a reduction in service charge fees. Rental income increased by $23 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010. The increase in rental income was driven by improved occupancy rates in 2011.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense represents the costs of operating the Company and the Bank. Management regularly monitors all categories of noninterest expense with the goal of improving productivity and operating performance. Noninterest expense remained flat for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The full time equivalent employees increased from 71 as of the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 75 as of June 30, 2011, mainly due to additions in problem asset management, resulting in an increase in salaries and wages expense. Benefits increased $84 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to increased retirement benefit costs associated with the Company’s deferred compensation plans.

The Company has allocated $152 thousand and $9 thousand of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans for impairment by the loan's classification as to credit risk. This analysis includes non-homogenous loans, such as commercial, commercial real estate and faith-based non–profit entities, and mortgage loans in process of foreclosure for which the loan to value does not support repayment in full. This analysis is performed on at least a quarterly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Management believes that there is a moderate likelihood of some loss related to those loans and leases that are considered special mention.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of or repayment according to the original terms of the debt. Substandard loans include loans within the mortgage and consumer portfolio segments that are past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest if the loan to value does not support full repayment. Substandard loans are evaluated for impairment on an individual loan basis unless the substandard loan is a smaller balance homogenous loan that is not a TDR. Management believes that there is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies related to the loans is not corrected in a timely manner.

Pass. Loans not identified as special mention, substandard, or doubtful are classified as pass.

Index

M&F BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

The provision for loan losses assigned to these ratings by portfolio class As of June 30, 2011 is as follows:

Our ability to manage credit risk depends in large part on our ability to properly identify and manage problem loans. To do so, we operate a credit risk rating system under which our credit management personnel assign a numeric credit risk rating to each loan at the time of origination and review loans on a regular basis.

Each loan officer is responsible for monitoring his or her loan portfolio, recommending a credit risk rating for each loan in his or her portfolio and ensuring the credit risk ratings are appropriate. These credit risk ratings are then ratified by our Chief Credit Officer or the Directors’ Loan Committee. Credit risk ratings are determined by evaluating a number of factors including, a borrower’s financial strength, cash flow coverage, collateral protection and guarantees. The credit risk ratings and methodology applied are reviewed annually by management and the board of directors.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company’s financial condition is measured in terms of its asset and liability composition, asset quality, capital resources and liquidity. The growth and composition of the Company’s liabilities for the period ending June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, reflect organic growth resulting from internal business development activities. While gross loans were down for the period ending June 30, 2011, versus December 31, 2010, the Bank continues to develop relationships and business in the commercial, and faith-based non-profit organizations operating within its footprint.

Total assets increased from $312.3 million as of December 31, 2010 to $312.9 million as of June 30, 2011. The largest component of asset increase was in investment securities available for sale, which increased $10.6 million from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011. The increase in investment securities available for sale was impacted by the management decision to move low yielding cash into higher yielding low risk bonds. Cash and cash equivalents declined $5.1 million to $69.5 million from December 31, 2010. Gross loans decreased $4.8 million and OREO increased $0.6 million in 2011. Total liabilities decreased from $275.9 million as of December 31, 2010 to $275.7 million as of June 30, 2011, with total deposits staying flat.

Total consolidated stockholders’ equity increased from $36.4 million as of December 31, 2010 to $37.1 million as of June 30, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the net increase in retained earnings was comprised of $0.5 million of net income, offset by dividends declared to preferred stockholders of $0.1 million. The Company did not pay a common stock dividend in the first six months of 2011. Accumulated other comprehensive loss represents the unrealized gain or loss on available for sale securities and the unrealized gain or loss related to the deferred pension liability, net of deferred taxes. Accumulated other comprehensive loss was in a net unrealized loss position of $1.0 million at June 30, 2011, a decrease of $0.3 million from the net unrealized loss of $1.3 million as of December 31, 2010.

ASSETS

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents, including noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing cash, fed funds sold and short-term investments, decreased $5.1 million from $74.6 million as of December 31, 2010 to $69.5 million as of June 30, 2011. The decrease in cash was the result of the purchases in investment securities of $10.6 million.

Loan Portfolio. Gross loans were $196.9 million and $201.8 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The commercial loan portfolio is comprised mainly of loans to small- and mid-sized businesses. A significant portion of the loan portfolio is collateralized by owner-occupied real estate. An adverse change in the economy affecting real estate values generally, or in our primary markets in particular, could impair the value of underlying collateral and/or our ability to sell such collateral. The Bank has implemented policies and procedures to help manage this concentration risk and track the performance of the loans.

The Bank has a concentration of loans to faith-based non-profit organizations, in which the Bank has specialized lending experience. As of June 30, 2011, the percentage of loans in this niche, which included construction, real estate secured, and lines of credit, totaled approximately 46.0% of the total loan portfolio and the reserve for these loans is 28.7% of the total allowance. Historically the Bank has experienced low levels of loan losses in this specialty; however, repayment of loans is primarily dependent on voluntary contributions, which appears to have been adversely affected by the current economic downturn. Management monitors the loan portfolio for changes in trends of past due loans and has seen a recent increase in the past due status of some loans in this concentration.

Traditionally, the Bank has not issued high-risk mortgage products such as Adjustable Rate Mortgages (“ARM”), interest only residential mortgages and other sub-prime mortgages. While the Bank does not engage in sub-prime lending, a small balance of loans may be deemed sub-prime based on borrowers’ credit scores. No loans in the portfolio have terms that permit the borrower to pay less than the interest due on the loan balance. Historically, the Bank has made very few acquisition and development loans or construction development loans with interest reserves built into the loans.

Index

M&F BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Of the loan balances outstanding at June 30, 2011, 93.07% or $183.3 million is secured by real estate, and 1.19% or $2.4 million, is secured by cash deposits. Junior liens at June 30, 2011, constituted $4.8 million, or 2.45% of the loan balances outstanding. Real estate secured loans, including faith based, non-profit, and commercial loans totaled $183.3 million, or 93.07% of the outstanding loan balances as of June 30, 2011.

The Bank’s market areas are the Research Triangle (Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina), the Piedmont Triad (Greensboro and Winston-Salem, North Carolina) and Charlotte, North Carolina. The economic trends of the areas in North Carolina served by the Bank are influenced by the significant industries within these regions. The ultimate collectability of the Bank’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in the market conditions of these geographic regions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity, Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risks

The objectives of the Company’s liquidity management policy include providing adequate funds to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers at all times, providing funds to meet the basic needs for on-going operations of the Company, and to meet regulatory requirements. The 34.16% liquidity ratio is the sum of cash, overnight funds, and un-pledged, marketable U.S. Government and US Agencies divided by the sum of deposits and short-term borrowings (less the full amount of pledged deposits). Management believes that core deposit activity, $7.9 million in available borrowing capacity from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB") at June 30, 2011, and Fed Funds accommodations of $12.0 million will be adequate to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity needs of the Company. The Company had $0.7 million outstanding from the FHLB as of June 30, 2011. The maximum outstanding balance from FHLB at any time during the second quarter quarter of 2011 was $0.7 million. The Company periodically draws on its Fed Funds accommodations to test the lines availability.

The Company participates in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”) program, which enables depositors to receive FDIC insurance coverage for deposits otherwise exceeding the maximum insurable amount. Through the CDARS program, deposits in excess of the maximum insurable amount are placed with multiple participating financial institutions. All of the Bank’s CDARS deposits are reciprocal, relationship-based deposits. There are several large depositors in the CDARS program, and the largest depositor has renewed $20 million in deposits annually for several years. There is no guarantee, however that this trend will continue. In management’s opinion, the large depositors have stable and long-term relationships with the Bank.

Capital Resources

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by their federal and state banking regulators. Failure to satisfy minimum capital requirements may result in certain mandatory and additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. At the Company’s annual Strategic Planning session in September 2009, the Board of Directors of the Bank directed management to limit material changes to the balance sheet, and to focus on asset quality, liquidity, and managing the Bank through the challenging economic environment. Subsequently, the Board established higher liquidity targets which management achieved by December 31, 2009. The Bank is required to obtain the non-objection of its regulators before engaging in any transactions that would materially change the composition of the Bank’s balance sheet. Also, the Bank MOU requires the Bank to maintain a tier 1 leverage capital ratio of not less than 8.00%, and a total risk based capital ratio of not less than 10.00%.
