ITEM 8.01

Other Events.

On November 5, 2009, Cape Fear Bank Corporation, a North Carolina corporation (the “Company”), filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina (the “Bankruptcy Court”) the Company’s Monthly Report for September 2009 (the “September Monthly Report”). Exhibit 99.1 contains the Company’s September Monthly Report. On December 8, 2009, the Company filed with the Bankruptcy Court the Company’s Monthly Report for October 2009 (the “October Monthly Report”). Exhibit 99.2 contains the Company’s October Monthly Report.

The Company’s plan of liquidation, which was filed simultaneously with the Company’s initial Chapter 11 filing with Bankruptcy Court on June 23, 2009, is still pending final approval by the Company’s creditors and the Bankruptcy Court.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Financial and Other Data

The Company has been unable to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 due to the fact that the audit of its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 has not been completed. The Company does not currently anticipate that it will be in a position to file its annual report on Form 10-K or any quarterly reports on Form 10-Q prior to completion of the bankruptcy liquidation process.

The Company currently has no active operating business or income resulting from operations, and does not anticipate having any material operating income at any time in the future. It is the Company’s belief that there will be no value at all for common stockholders upon the completion of the bankruptcy liquidation process.

The Company cautions investors, potential investors, and other readers not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Reports, as such information is limited in scope, covers a limited period of time, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with applicable requirements under the Bankruptcy Code. The financial information contained in the Monthly Reports (i) is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, (ii) was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants nor is it likely to be subject to audit or review by external auditors of the Company at any time in the future, (iii) is in a format consistent with applicable bankruptcy laws, (iv) and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. The Monthly Reports also contain information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those generally required pursuant to the Exchange Act, and such information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or results for any period, as would otherwise be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or reports required to be filed pursuant the Exchange Act under other circumstances. Results set forth in the Monthly Reports should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
