NORTH STATE BANCORP REPORTS
2ND QUARTER EARNINGS

Company reports solid earnings for 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, 2012 of $583,000, which is $472,000 more than the $111,000 earned for the same period ended June 30, 2011.  Higher non-interest income of $1.9 million, an increase of $1.1 million, excluding securities gains, over the same period in 2011, resulting from expanded mortgage banking activities accounted for the increase while net interest income was steady from the prior period.  These higher fees were partially offset by higher personnel expenses of $2.8 million, an increase of $507,000 over the same period ended June 30, 2011.  Diluted earnings per share were $0.08 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to $0.01 for 2011.  For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, net income was $819,000, an increase of $505,000 from net income of $314,000 reported for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.
 
Total assets for the Company as of June 30, 2012 were $677.5 million compared to $638.3 million as of June 30, 2011, an increase of $39.2 million.  Total deposits and total loans as of June 30, 2012, were $607.8 million and $482.8 million, respectively, compared to total deposits and total loans at June 30, 2011, of $566.9 million and $482.7 million, respectively.
 
North State Bank remains well capitalized with capital ratios well in excess of regulatory minimums to be considered well capitalized.  
 
“While we continue to have challenges as a business and an industry, I am very proud to report these results.  They are the result of our strategic thinking which laid the groundwork for improving financial results.  We have continued to grow core deposits which have increased $37.8 million so far this year.  These deposits are heavily weighted in non-interest bearing accounts and when combined with stable loan outstandings have allowed us to maintain our net interest income and net interest margin. We are not out of these challenging times but we are seeing improvement in earnings and asset quality.” Larry D. Barbour, president and CEO shared in remarks on the Company’s financial results.
 
 
 

 
 
Mr. Barbour continued “We remain a well-capitalized bank with strong liquidity funded by a loyal base of core deposits and we remain confident about our future as troubled loans and loan loss reserves 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.
