NORTH STATE BANCORP REPORTS
2ND QUARTER EARNINGS

Company reports profitability for the 2nd Quarter.
 
RALEIGH, NC … North State Bancorp (OTCBB: NSBC the “Company”), the holding company for North State Bank, reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 of $111,000, which is $199,000 less than the $310,000 earned in the period ended June 30, 2010.  Net income results for the second quarter of 2011 include gains on security sales which were $329,000 or $202,000 net of taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.01 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to $0.04 for 2010.  For the six month period ended June 30, 2011, net income was $314,000, a decrease of $510,000 from net income of $824,000 reported for the six month period ended June 30, 2010.
 
The Company also reported that core earnings (earnings before taxes and cost of credit), a non-GAAP measure, were $1.8 million and $3.7 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011.
 
Total assets for the Company as of June 30, 2011, were $638.3 million compared to $651.3 million as of June 30, 2010, a decrease of $13.0 million.  Total deposits and total loans as of June 30, 2011, were $566.9 million and $482.7 million, respectively, compared to total deposits and total loans at June 30, 2010, of $578.0 million and $506.8 million, respectively.  The reduction in total assets and total deposits is the result of the Company’s continuing efforts to eliminate non-core fundings, specifically brokered and internet deposits, which decreased $8.0 million and $21.3 million, respectively, over the six and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2011.  Core deposits, which primarily include demand deposit and money market accounts for our customers, increased by $31.8 million for the same period.
 
 
 

 
 
The primary reason for the decrease in earnings was lower net interest income (a decrease of $278,000), higher personnel and benefit costs (an increase of $410,000 excluding the mortgage division) and costs associated with our Community Plus division (an increase of $120,000).
 
North State Bank remains well capitalized with capital ratios in excess of regulatory minimums to be considered well capitalized.   
 
“As the national and local economies continue to struggle, so does the banking industry.  We must remember we are still mired in the greatest recession in 75 years.  Beginning in late 2008, before the recession led to a financial crisis in our country, we created a plan to work through these difficult times and I am pleased to report it is working quite well.  Obviously greater profitability would be available for our stakeholders were it not for loan loss reserves which are still extensive as we help our customers through these unprecedented times,” Larry D. Barbour, president and CEO shared in remarks on the Company’s financial results.
 
Mr. Barbour continued “We are very pleased and thankful for remaining profitable in these difficult times. As a well capitalized bank with strong liquidity funded by a loyal base of core deposits and consistent increases in non-interest income from our mortgage and wealth management divisions which have contributed $443,000 in pretax earnings year-to-date, we remain confident about our future as troubled loans decrease.”
 
Founded in 2000, North State Bank is a full-service community bank, serving Wake and New Hanover Counties through seven full-service offices.

We define core earnings as operating income before securities gains (losses); loan loss reserves; foreclosed asset valuation write-downs and expense net of rental income; and taxes.  Core earnings is considered a non-GAAP financial measure.  Core earnings do not represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP.  Our definition of core earnings might not be comparable to similarly titled measures by other companies.  We believe that the presentation of core earnings is useful to investors because it provides important information of our operating performance exclusive of non-recurring expenses of loan loss reserves and foreclosed asset expense and write-downs as well as taxes.
