Quarterly Report


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is designed to provide a better understanding of various factors related to the results of operations and financial condition of CapitalSouth Bancorp (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CapitalSouth Bank (the "Bank"). This discussion is intended to supplement and highlight information contained in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Business
The Company is a bank holding company established in 1990 under the name Financial Investors of the South, Inc., and incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. The name was changed in September 2005 to CapitalSouth Bancorp. The Bank is an Alabama banking corporation and a member of the Federal Reserve System and it has been in continuous operation since 1975. The Bank is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, and operates 12 full service banking offices located in metropolitan Birmingham, Montgomery and Hunstville, Alabama, and Jacksonville, Florida. The Bank operates a wholesale residential mortgage loan subsidiary, Mortgage Lion, Inc., in Fitzgerald, Georgia. The Company also serves the needs of the Latino population in Birmingham, Alabama through "Banco Hispano".
Overview
Results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008 continue to reflect difficult market conditions. The Company reported a net loss of $16,395,000, or $3.95 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2008 and a net loss of $16,073,000, or $3.87 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, each of which included a $9,363,000 goodwill impairment charge. Additionally, the Company's earnings were negatively impacted by a deferred tax asset valuation adjustment of $500,000 as well as a $9,350,000 increase in the provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2008. However, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 our results also include increases in interest income and noninterest income largely due to an expansion in the Company's loans and core deposits due to the Monticello acquisition.
As of June 30, 2008 compared to December 31, 2007, the Company reported a 4.08% decrease in total assets. Total assets at June 30, 2008 were $736,195,000, compared to $767,475,000 at December 31, 2007. The decline was mainly attributable to a decline in the loan portfolio resulting from the shift away from real estate construction and acquisition and development loans due to the softening in the economy. Additionally, the Company recorded an additional goodwill impairment charge during the period and significantly increased the allowance for loan losses. The Company's loan portfolio totaled $589,060,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2008, down 5.31% from $622,111,000 at December 31, 2007. Deposits increased from $593,344,000 at December 31, 2007 to $622,093,000 at June 30, 2008. The decline in loans and growth in deposits resulted in a $37,087,000 decline in federal funds purchased for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Stockholders' equity at June 30, 2008, totaled $29,757,000, down 36.01% from $46,500,000 at December 31, 2007. Book value per share was $7.16 at June 30, 2008, versus $11.20 at year end 2007. The decline in stockholders' equity resulted from the year-to-date net loss the Company has experienced during the first six months of 2008, due primarily to the goodwill impairment charge and additional provision expense. Tangible book value per share decreased to $6.96 per share at June 30, 2008, from $8.66 at December 31, 2007.
The net operating loss for the second quarter, which excludes the non-cash goodwill impairment charge, totaled $7,032,000 or $1.69 per diluted share compared with net operating income of $897,000 or $0.30 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2007. For the first half of 2008, the Company reported a net operating loss of $6,710,000 or $1.62 per diluted share compared with net operating income of $1,603,000 or $0.53 per diluted share for the year-earlier period. The decline in net operating income for the 2008 period was due primarily to a $9,350,000 provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2008, prompted by increased nonperforming assets associated with continued deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, specifically in the residential real estate sector. The provision in the second quarter of 2007 was $225,000. Per share amounts for the second quarter and first six months of 2008 also reflect an increase of 38% in the number of weighted average diluted shares outstanding primarily due to shares issued in the Company's September 2007 acquisition of Monticello Bancshares. Additionally, the Company provided a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in the amount of $500,000 as a result of the net operating loss in conformity with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. GAAP Reconciliation and Management Explanation for Non-GAAP Financial Measures The information set forth above contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting policies (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are "net operating income to average assets," "net operating income to average equity," "return on average tangible equity," "return on average tangible assets," "net operating income to average tangible equity," "average tangible equity to average tangible assets," "net operating income to average tangible assets" and "tangible book value per share." Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of CapitalSouth's performance.


Table of Contents

"Net Operating income" is defined as net income less the effect of the non-cash goodwill impairment charge. "Return on average tangible equity" is defined as earnings for the period divided by average equity reduced by average goodwill and other intangible assets. "Return on average tangible assets" is defined as earnings for the period divided by average assets reduced by average goodwill and other intangible assets. Our management includes these measures because it believes that they are important when measuring CapitalSouth's performance against entities with varying levels of goodwill and other intangibles. These measures are used by many investors as part of their analysis of the bank holding company's performance.
"Average tangible equity to average tangible assets" is defined as average total equity reduced by recorded average intangible assets divided by average total assets reduced by recorded average intangible assets. This measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in the equity to assets ratio exclusive of the effect of changes in average intangible assets on average equity and average total assets.
"Tangible book value per share" is defined as total equity reduced by recorded intangible assets divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes from period to period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets. Goodwill, an intangible asset that is recorded in a purchase business combination, has the effect of increasing total book value while not increasing the tangible book value of the Company.
These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other bank holding companies. The following reconciliation table provides a more detailed analysis of these non-GAAP performance measures.

Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting and financial policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the banking industry. The allowance for loan losses, valuation of other real estate owned, and goodwill impairment are accounting policies applied by the Company which are deemed critical. Critical accounting policies are defined as policies which are important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments. These estimates and judgments involve significant uncertainties and are susceptible to change. If different conditions exist or occur, depending upon the magnitude of the changes, our actual financial condition and financial results could differ significantly. Other real estate owned, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, is reported at the lower of cost or fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs. At the time of foreclosure, any excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the real estate held as collateral is treated as a charge against the allowance for loan losses. Gains or losses on sale and any subsequent adjustments in value are recorded as a component of noninterest expense.
With the deterioration of goodwill and the subsequent write-down of all remaining goodwill on the Company's balance sheet, goodwill impairment will cease to be a critical accounting policy for the Company after the second quarter of 2008. For a more detailed discussion on these critical accounting policies, see "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" on page 31 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Recent Developments
The State Banking Department of Alabama and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta recently completed the fieldwork for a regularly scheduled examination of the Bank during the second quarter. The reported results of the Company reflect discussions with regulators on the allowance for loan losses and loan charge-offs, among other matters. The Company has been advised orally that a formal enforcement action will be issued because of the impact of the high level of nonperforming assets on the financial performance of the Bank. Though the particular terms of such enforcement action are not known at this time, the Company expects that it will require improvement in Bank earnings, lower nonperforming loan levels, increased Bank capital, revisions to various policies as well as other possible corrective actions.
The Company has already begun taking steps consistent with meeting these requirements. The Company has filed a registration statement for a rights offering for shares of its common stock. The registration statement has not become effective but the Company anticipates it being declared effective by the SEC in the third quarter of 2008 and concluding and closing the offering prior to year end.

On a quarterly basis, the Company makes an assessment to determine whether there have been any events or economic circumstances to indicate that a security on which there is an unrealized loss is impaired on an other-than-temporary basis. The Company considers many factors including the severity and duration of the impairment; the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value; recent events specific to the issuer or industry; and for debt securities, external credit ratings and recent downgrades. Securities on which there is an unrealized loss that is deemed to be other-than-temporary are written down to fair value with the write-down recorded as a realized loss

in securities gains (losses). Gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2008, are primarily caused by interest rate changes. The Company has reviewed these securities in accordance with its accounting policy for other-than-temporary impairment discussed above and recorded $78,000 in impairment losses on its available-for-sale securities sold after quarter end at a loss. The Company does not consider any other securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired. However, without recovery in the near term such that liquidity returns to the markets and spreads return to levels that reflect underlying credit characteristics, additional other-than-temporary impairments may occur in future periods.
All securities held are traded in liquid markets. As of June 30, 2008, the Company owned securities from three issuers in which the aggregate book value from these issuers exceeded 10% of stockholders' equity. As of June 30, 2008, the book value and fair value of the securities from each of these issuers was as follows:

                                                   Book Value       Fair Value

Total loans were $589,060,000 at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $33,051,000, or 5.31%, over total loans of $622,111,000 at December 31, 2007. Due to the general deterioration in the real estate sector, the Company has tightened its credit criteria for loans secured by real estate. We are actively reducing our concentration of construction loans and land acquisition and development loans. Accordingly, we have reduced our balances outstanding in these type loans by $27,967,000 or 14.2% since year-end.
The following table details the change in the loan portfolio composition, including loans held-for-sale, for the periods ending June 30, and March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007:

Asset Quality
The allowance for loan losses is established and maintained at levels management deems adequate to absorb anticipated credit losses from identified and otherwise inherent risks in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance, we review the quality of, and risks in, loans in the portfolio. We also consider such factors as:
• specific known risks;

• our loan loss experience;

• adverse situations that may affect a borrower's ability to repay;

• the status and amount of past due and nonperforming loans;

• underlying estimated values of collateral securing loans;

• current and anticipated economic conditions; and

• other factors which management believes affect the allowance for loan losses.

An analysis of the credit quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is prepared by our credit administration department and presented to our subsidiary bank's board of directors on a monthly basis. In addition, loan reviews are performed regularly on the quality of the loan portfolio and related adequacy of the allowance by an individual independent of the lending function. We have outsourced loan review of loans in excess of $3 million to an experienced loan review company which reviews these loans and provides reports approximately two times per year. Based on our analysis, which includes risk factors such as charge-off rates, past dues and loan growth, we may determine our future loan loss provision needs to increase or decrease in order for us to maintain the allowance at a level sufficient to absorb

inherent credit losses. If we become aware that any of these factors have materially changed, our estimate of credit losses in the loan portfolio and the related allowance could also change. All loans have a risk grade assigned at the time the loan is booked. These risk grades are evaluated periodically for appropriateness based on the performance of the borrower and as new information is received on the borrower's financial condition. The related allowance is determined based on the risk grade assigned to the loan unless the loan is classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful or loss. Once a loan is classified, an evaluation is made on a specific allowance to be assigned. Accordingly, changes in classification of a loan may change the amount of allowance allocated for that loan. The allowance for loan losses is replenished through a provision for loan losses that is charged against our earnings. As a result, variations in the allowance directly affect our earnings. While it is the Company's policy to provide for loan losses in the current period when a loss is considered probable, there are additional risks of future losses which cannot be quantified precisely or attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. Because these risks include the state of the economy, management's judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance is necessarily approximate and imprecise.
The Company recorded annualized net charge-offs, as a percentage of average loans, of 1.37% in the second quarter of 2008 compared with net charge-offs of 0.49% in the first quarter of 2008. Charge-offs in the first and second quarters consisted of 35.8% and 37.4% respectively, related to write-downs taken on loans being transferred into Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO") based on updated valuations. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company continues to update external appraisals on the properties underlying the nonperforming loans and thus provide additional reserves as needed for collateral deficiencies or changes in macroeconomic factors. Charge-offs reduce the allowance balance and accordingly have an impact on the calculation of the adequacy of the allowance. We determine the required allowance based on the composition of the loan portfolio, its classifications, any known collateral deficiencies, past due status and general economic conditions. We provide for any shortfall in the calculated allowance compared to our recorded allowance for loan losses through the provision for loan losses. The Company increased its loan loss provision to $9,350,000 in the second quarter of 2008 compared with $658,000 in the first quarter of 2008 based on updated collateral valuations, general market conditions, and the impact of regulatory actions. The allowance for loan losses was 2.73% of total period-end net loans and 46.00% of period-end nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2008, compared with 1.44% and 30.93% respectively, at March 31, 2008. Based on current appraisal valuations and other valuation data, the Company believes that reserves are adequate to absorb future losses in the loan portfolio.
