As the Company began to account for its investment in the combined entity under the equity method subsequent to September 7, 2011, the Companys proportional share of earnings of $3,995 was recorded in Equity in income from investment in Capital Bank, NA. in the Companys Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

The provision for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes. Fluctuations in effective tax rates reflect the effect of the differences in the inclusion or deductibility of certain income and expenses, respectively, for income tax purposes. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately (10%). Due to the equity method of accounting for the Companys investment in Capital Bank, NA, the effective tax rate reflected in the current period was lower than the statutory tax rate. As the equity in income from investment in Capital Bank, NA is net of income tax expense, such earnings are treated as a permanent difference and are not included in taxable income. Excluding the impact of the equity method earnings from Capital Bank, NA, the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 would have been approximately 37%.
