Financial Highlights

--  Net loss of $3.3 million or $0.20 per share
--  Net interest margin for second quarter 2009 increased four basis
    points to 3.05% from 3.01% in first quarter 2009
--  Provision for loan losses of $6.0 million, an increase of $2.0
    million, compared to $4.0 million in first quarter 2009
--  Net charge-offs were 1.85% of average loans, up from 1.09% in the
    first quarter
--  Allowance for loan losses of $19.4 million or 1.55% of loans at June
    30, 2009 compared to $19.3 million or 1.49% of loans at March 31, 2009.
    Allowance coverage of nonperforming loans increased to 109% at June 30,
    2009 compared to 95% at March 31, 2009.
--  Nonperforming loans decreased to $17.9 million or 1.43% of loans at
    June 30, 2009 from $20.3 million or 1.56% of loans at March 31, 2009
--  Nonperforming assets increased to $35.7 million or 2.07% of total
    assets at June 30, 2009 from $31.0 million or 1.73% of total assets at
    March 31, 2009
--  Non-interest income increased $182 thousand or 6% on a linked quarter
    basis, excluding $1.0 million Lehman write-off and $500 thousand gain on
    sale of investment securities in second quarter and $404 thousand write-off
    of our equity investment in Silverton Bank in the first quarter
    

Net loss after preferred dividends amounted to $3.3 million or $0.20 per diluted common share in the second quarter of 2009 and included an increased provision for loan losses ($6.0 million), a $1.0 million write-off of collateral held by Lehman Brothers as the counterparty in certain derivative contracts and $1.1 million sequential increase in FDIC insurance premiums.

"The increases in our provision for loan losses and net charge-offs for the second quarter were a direct result of our aggressive efforts to work through and effectively resolve troubled assets," said F. Scott Bauer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This quarter's charge-off activity continues to be primarily related to our residential construction and development loans which remain adversely impacted by the persistently slow market for newly constructed homes. We are encouraged by the recent trends in our loan delinquencies, which have decreased over the past five months. As a result our nonperforming loans have decreased to $17.9 million, or 1.43% of loans, at June 30, 2009 compared with $20.3 million, or 1.56% of loans, at March 31, 2009. As expected, our second quarter results were impacted by this increased provision for loan losses and the expenses associated with managing our loan portfolio and foreclosed properties."

"Despite the difficult credit cycle Southern Community's core bank continues to operate well. The company-wide focus on deposit gathering and pricing discipline on loans contributed to the net interest margin expansion of four basis points to 3.05%. For example, we successfully increased lower cost non-interest bearing deposits by 5% over the first quarter, and reduced higher cost CD balances by 9% during the same time period."

"During the second half of 2009, we believe there will be more opportunities to decrease our cost of funds, improve our net interest margin and increase overall profitability. While loan demand remains slow in this weakened economy, we believe that it is likely to increase in the second half of 2009 based on recent trends we are seeing across our markets. Southern Community remains strong in terms of capital and liquidity and is well positioned to weather this economic storm. Our Board and management team are dedicated to working through these challenges and to capitalizing on the outstanding opportunities that lie ahead."

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans decreased to $17.9 million, or 1.43% of total loans, at June 30, 2009 from $20.3 million, or 1.56% of total loans, at March 31, 2009. Second quarter net charge-offs of $5.9 million, or 1.85% of average loans on an annualized basis, increased from $3.5 million, or 1.09% of average loans annualized, in the first quarter 2009. Nonperforming assets increased to $35.7 million, or 2.07% of total assets, at June 30, 2009 from $31.0 million, or 1.73% of total assets, at March 31, 2009 due to the influx of foreclosed assets during the quarter. Nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets and net charge-off activity continue to be predominantly related to residential construction and development lending as 72% of nonperforming loans, 76% of nonperforming assets and 70% of net charge-offs originated from this segment of the loan portfolio.

The provision for loan losses of $6.0 million for the second quarter increased $2.0 million compared to the $4.0 million first quarter 2009 provision and increased $2.5 million compared to $3.5 million provision for second quarter 2008.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income of $12.6 million for the second quarter 2009 increased by 1% compared with $12.5 million in the first quarter 2009; however, it increased 7% over the $11.8 million in the second quarter 2008. The net interest margin of 3.05% for the second quarter 2009 increased four basis points from 3.01% for the first quarter 2009 and increased seven basis points from 2.98% in the second quarter 2008. The sequential increase in net interest income resulted from the impact of deposits and borrowings repricing lower to a greater extent than interest earning assets. This favorable rate variance was partially offset by a decrease of $26.9 million in average earning assets during the second quarter 2009 compared with the first quarter 2009. Quarter end loan balances decreased $46.3 million, or 4%, from March 31, 2009. This decrease in loans was due to a slowdown in loan demand as some of our primary customers are deleveraging and taking a more conservative stance toward borrowing during these difficult economic times.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income of $2.7 million during the second quarter 2009 increased by $86 thousand or 3% compared with the first quarter 2009 primarily resulting from increases in mortgage banking income from increased refinance activity, gains on sales of investment securities and service charge income. These increases were partially offset by the $1.0 million write-off of the value of collateral held by Lehman as the counterparty for certain derivative contracts terminated in the third quarter 2008 as well as decreases in wealth management income on lower transaction activity and decreases in SBIC income. Excluding the $1.0 million Lehman write-off (as disclosed under "gain (loss) and net cash settlement on economic hedges" in attached summary income statement), a $500 thousand gain on the sale of investment securities in the second quarter, and a $404 thousand write-off of an equity investment in Silverton Bank in the first quarter, non-interest income increased $182 thousand or 6% compared with the first quarter.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses of $13.8 million during the second quarter 2009 increased $2.7 million, or 24%, on a linked quarter basis, excluding the goodwill impairment charge of $49.5 million taken in the first quarter 2009, and increased $3.1 million or 29% year-over-year. The sequential increase in non-interest expenses was primarily due to $1.1 million increase in FDIC deposit insurance (approximately $800 thousand of which was the FDIC special assessment), $472 thousand in prepayment penalties on early extinguishment of FHLB advances, $347 thousand in OREO writedowns, $370 thousand increase in buyer incentives to purchasers of bank-financed builder housing inventory and increases in commissions on increased mortgage activity. Staffing for our new Asheville location and associated expenses for marketing efforts focused on deposit gathering also contributed.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2009, total assets amounted to $1.73 billion, representing a decrease of $45.0 million, or 3% year-over-year; however, excluding the $49.5 million goodwill impairment charge taken in the first quarter 2009, total assets increased $4.4 million or 0.3% year-over-year. On a linked quarter basis, total assets decreased $63.1 million or 4%. As mentioned above, the loan portfolio decreased by $46.3 million or 4% sequentially during the second quarter 2009 due to a slowdown in loan demand. Total deposits of $1.25 billion at June 30, 2009 increased $36.5 million or 3% year-over-year. During the second quarter 2009, deposits decreased $74.3 million or 6% compared with the March 31, 2009 level. Time deposits decreased $68.9 million in the second quarter as a result of active liability management through pricing with an emphasis on improving our funding mix and lowering our funding cost.

At June 30, 2009, stockholders' equity of $133.7 million represented 7.74% of total assets. Stockholders' equity decreased $4.5 million or 3% from $138.2 million at March 31, 2009. Regulatory capital ratios remain in excess of the "well capitalized" threshold.
