Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Highlights
During the first nine months of 1996, Triangle Bancorp, Inc. ("the
Company") continued its growth strategy with both acquisitions and
internal growth. In January, $55 million in deposits were purchased
from First Union National Bank. As part of this transaction, the
Company's subsidiary, Triangle Bank ("Triangle") added two new markets
and increased its size in two other markets. In June, the Company
announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with Granville
United Bank ("Granville") in Oxford, North Carolina. This merger took
place on October 24, 1996 and added $60 million in assets and 3 branch
locations; however, this acquisition is not reflected in the financial
results as of September 30, 1996.
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 and
1995
The Company's net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996
was $2,781,000, compared to earnings of $2,295,000 for the same period
in 1995, an increase of $486,000 or 21%. Earnings per share were $0.28
compared to $0.23 for the same period in 1995.
For the three months ended September 30, 1996 the annualized returns on
average assets and equity were 1.25% and 14.39%, respectively compared
to 1.23% and 13.11% for the same period in 1995.
Core earnings for the period were positively impacted by an increase in
net interest income due to an increase in the volume of earning assets.
The net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1996
was $9,848,000 compared to $8,220,000 for the same period in 1995 an
increase of $1,628,000 or 20%. The net interest margin was 4.84% for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995.
For the three months ended September 30, 1996, a loan loss provision of
$290,000 was made compared to a provision of $30,000 for the same
period in 1995. The increase in provision was made to maintain the loan
loss reserve at appropriate levels due to growth in the loan portfolio.
<PAGE>
Part I, Item 2 (Continued)
Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was
$2,032,000 compared to $1,872,000 for the same period in 1995 an
increase of $160,000 or 9%. The increase of noninterest income is due
primarily to increases in service charges on deposit accounts of
$262,000 due to growth in the number of accounts and fee increases in
1996. Other changes in noninterest income include a decrease in other
commissions and fees due to the sell of mortgage servicing in the
fourth quarter of 1995 and a decrease in the volume of mortgage
origination activity.
Noninterest expenses increased by $642,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 or 10%.
Decreases in office expenses and professional fees were offset by
increases in salaries, occupancy expenses, amortization and other
operating expenses. These increases in 1996 expenses were due to the
addition of eight branch locations, the purchase and upfit of a new
corporate headquarters and the amortization of the deposit premium
purchased in January 1996 and September 1995.
Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
The Company's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
was $7,900,000, compared to $5,240,000 for the same period in 1995.
This represents an increase of $2,660,000 or 51%. Earnings per share
were $0.79 compared to $0.54 for the same period in 1995. Excluding the
sale of the branch in 1996 and merger-related expenses in 1996 and
1995, core earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$7,667,000, a 22% increase over the $6,274,000 earned during the same
period in 1995.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the annualized returns on
average assets and equity were 1.24% and 14.00%, respectively compared
to 0.98% and 10.42% for the same period in 1995.
Core earnings for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 were
positively impacted by an increase in net interest income due to an
increase in the volume of earning assets. The net interest income for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $28,134,000 compared to
$24,484,000 for the same period in 1995 an increase of $3,650,000 or
15%. The net interest margin was 4.84% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 versus 5.04% for the same period in 1995. This
decrease in margin reduced the impact of the increased volume on net
interest income and was due to a decrease in yield on assets and a
slight increase in cost of liabilities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, a loan loss provision of
$1,315,000 was made compared to a provision of $255,000 for the same
period in 1995. The increase in the provision was made to maintain the
loan loss reserve at an appropriate level due to loan growth.
Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was
$6,467,000 compared to $5,297,000 for the same period in 1995 an
increase of $1,170,000 or 22%. The sale of a branch office in 1996
accounted for $558,000 of this increase. Service charges on deposit
accounts increased $720,000 due to growth in the number of accounts and
due to a fee increase in early 1996.
<PAGE>
Part I, Item 2 (Continued)
Noninterest expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
decreased $841,000 over the same period in 1995. Changes from 1996 to
1995 include decreases in merger expenses, Federal deposit insurance
premium and professional fees. Increases were seen in occupancy expense
and depreciation due to additional locations; amortization of deposit
premiums due to acquisitions in September 1995 and January 1996; and
other expenses due to growth of the Company.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased $109 million or 14%, to $904 million at
September 30, 1996 versus $795 million at December 31, 1995. Loans
increased $76 million, investments increased $21 million, premises and
equipment increased by $4 million and intangible assets (deposit
premium) increased $3 million. These increases were funded by internal
deposit growth as well as the purchase of $55 million in deposits in
January 1996.
The Company continued to maintain strong loan loss reserves during the
period with the loan loss reserves at September 30, 1996 being 1.51% of
total loans and 280% of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans to
total loans plus other real estate owned were .54% on September 30,
1996 compared to .67% as of September 30, 1995. Net charge offs were
.004% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 versus .02% in
the same period in 1995. A summary of certain information related to
the loan loss reserves and nonperforming assets as of September 30,
1996 follows:

Financial Condition (Continued)
Total deposits were $782 million as of September 30, 1996 compared to

accounting for a little over half of the increase; the remainder is due
to internal growth. The increase was primarily in time deposits and
savings and money market accounts. As a result of deposit growth, short
term debt decreased $14.7 million, or 30%, from December 31, 1995 to
September 30, 1996.

TRIANGLE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
(Unaudited)
1. Financial statement presentation and management representation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and
results of operations of Triangle Bancorp, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Triangle Bank. Triangle Bank has two
wholly owned subsidiaries, Triangle Bank Leasing Corp., which
is inactive, and Triangle Investment Services which provides
investment services. All significant intercompany transactions
and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
The interim consolidated financial statements as of and for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position as
of September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the results of operations
and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 1996 and
1995. For the period ended September 30, 1996 and September
30, 1995, $189,000 and $1,640,000, respectively, in pre-tax
merger expenses were incurred. The results for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of what results will be
for the year ended December 31, 1996.
2. Stock-Based compensation
Effective January 1, 1996 the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.
As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company has chosen to apply APB Opinion 25 and
related Interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its fixed stock plans.
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock-based compensation plans been
determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under those
plans consistent with themethod of SFAS 123, the effect on the Company's net
income and earnings per share would have been immaterial.
3. Reclassifications
Certain items included in the 1995 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation. These
reclassifications have no effect on the net income or
stockholders' equity previously reported.

Third Quarter Report
3
(Triangle Bancorp logo appears here)
Dear Shareholder:
The third quarter of 1996 was another record breaking quarter for
Triangle Bancorp. Net income for the quarter was $2.8 million, an
increase of 21% over the same period in 1995. Earnings per share for the
quarter were $.28 compared to $.23 for the third quarter of 1995, an
increase of 22%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, earnings
were $7.9 million, a 52% increase over the $5.2 million earned during
the same period in 1995. Earnings per share were $.79 compared to $.54
for the same period in 1995. Excluding the sale of a branch and
merger-related expenses, core earnings for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 were $7.7 million, a 22% increase over the $6.3 million earned during the
same period in 1995.
Total assets of the Corporation on September 30, 1996 were $904 million,
an increase of $117 million or 15% over the $787 million reported on September
30, 1995. Net loans and deposits for the period were $614 million and $782
million, respectively, compared to $519 million and $676 million, respectively,
at September 30, 1995.
We continue to be pleased with the excellent quality of our loan
portfolio. The ratio of nonperforming loans and other real estate owned to gross
loans was .54% at the quarter ended September 30, 1996 compared to .67% at
September 30, 1995. For the year, net chargeoffs as a percentage of average
loans were only .04% compared to .12% for 1995. In addition, our percentage of
loan loss reserves to nonperforming loans and other real estate compares
favorably to our peers, with a coverage ratio of 280%.
We are extremely gratified by the third quarter and year-to-date
results. The improvement in earnings is primarily a result of the increase in
net interest income due to the growth of average earning assets from $674
million in the third quarter of 1995 to $810 million in the third quarter of
1996. At the same time, the efficiency ratio has improved significantly from 65%
for the quarter ended September 30th, 1995 to 60% for the same period in 1996,
as we continue to gain the efficiencies from our acquisitions in 1995.
In our continuing efforts to improve our convenience to customers and to
gain market share in the communities we serve, we opened two new offices during
the third quarter and will open two additional new offices during the fourth
quarter, primarily in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). These include
offices in Wake, Cumberland, Pitt and Craven counties. This is consistent with
our plans to continue concentrating our growth in MSAs and will bring our total
number of branch offices to 41. In addition to our new locations, new products
and services will be available to our commercial customers in the fourth
quarter. These products and services include PC-access to accounts to perform
such duties as ACH origination and cash management.
We have received regulatory and shareholder approvals for the
acquisition of Granville United Bank in Oxford, North Carolina. Granville United
has assets of $61 million at September 30, 1996 and plans call for it to be
merged into Triangle Bank this month. This will add three additional offices and
increase our total number of banking locations to 44.
The quarterly cash dividend has increased by 33% from .06 cents to .08
cents per share since the third quarter of 1995. We continued to be pleased with
the performance of our stock and the "outperform" rating we received from Wheat
First Securities, Inc. in their latest analyst report dated September 6, 1996.
We appreciate the support of our shareholders and encourage you to use
the services of our Bank as well as recommend us to others.
Sincerely,
(Signature of Michael S. Patterson)
Michael S. Patterson
President and CEO
