VOTING AT THE MEETING AND PROXIES
The accompanying form of proxy is for use at the Annual Meeting. A
shareholder may use this proxy if he/she is unable to attend the meeting in
person or if he/she wishes to have his/her shares voted by proxy even if he/she
attends the Annual Meeting. The proxy may be revoked in writing by the person
giving it any time before the proxy is exercised by giving notice to the
Company's secretary, or by submitting a proxy having a later date, or by such
person appearing at the Annual Meeting and voting in person. All shares
represented by valid proxies received pursuant to this solicitation, and not
revoked prior to their exercise, will be voted in the manner specified therein.
If no specification is made in the proxy, the proxy will be voted "FOR" the
election of the nominees for directors listed herein and "FOR" ratification of
the selection of Tourville, Simpson and Henderson, L.L.P. as the independent
auditors of the Company. The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matter
which may be presented for action at the Annual Meeting, but if other matters do
come properly before the Annual Meeting it is intended that shares represented
by proxies in the accompanying form will be voted by the person named in the
proxy in accordance with the recommendation of management.
The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 8, 1999
as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive
notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, there were a total of
300,000 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding. Each shareholder is entitled
to one vote on each matter to come before the Annual Meeting for each share of
Company Common Stock held of record by such shareholder. The presence at the
Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of shareholders, holding in the aggregate
a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock entitled to
vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Article Eight of
the Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide that in the election of
directors each shareholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to cast as many
votes for each director as shall equal the number of shares held by him/her, but
shall not be entitled to accumulate his/her votes to cast more votes for any one
director than the number of shares held by him/her. Those nominees receiving the
highest number of votes cast at the meeting will be elected directors.
Ratification of the appointment of Tourville, Simpson and Henderson, L.L.P. as
auditors for the Company for the current year shall be by a majority vote of the
shares of Common Stock present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

$6,020, and $5,341 in 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.
RETIREMENT PLANS
Profit Sharing Plan. The Company has a qualified Profit Sharing Plan with 401(K)
features. The plan is intended to meet the qualification requirements under the
Internal Revenue Code and serve as a reward to employees for productivity and
profitability. All full-time employees who have attained age 21 and have one
year of service are eligible to participate in the plan. Contributions to the
plan are computed each year on a discretionary basis by the Board of Directors
with consideration for annual profits, retained earnings and reserve
requirements. The profit sharing plan is administered by Profit Concepts, Inc.,
an independent third party administrator in Columbia, South Carolina. The
Trustees of the plan are members of the Board of Directors and are as follows:
J. Barnwell Fishburne, Calvert Huffines and George Cone. The Board of Directors
has the authority to add, delete, or replace Trustees as deemed necessary to
ensure adequate oversight and direction of the plan operations.
The profit sharing plan is designed to provide a source of additional
retirement income that will supplement Social Security benefits at age 65 for
each eligible career employee. Employees or their beneficiaries have the right
to withdraw their funds in the plan upon early separation of service, death,
disability, normal retirement (age 65), early retirement (age 59 1/2) or late
retirement (age 70). Distributions from the plan will be made in either monthly
installments or as a lump sum payment.
The profit sharing plan includes special provisions as outlined in the
Internal Revenue Code, Section 401(K), which permits employees to make voluntary
pre-tax contributions to the retirement plan trust. Employees meeting the
eligibility requirements of the profit sharing plan described above may also
make voluntary contributions under 401(K) plan provisions up to 10% of annual
salary.
The employer has decided to waive its option of matching employee
contributions since the profit sharing plan will potentially provide eligible
employees with a retirement benefit. All employee voluntary contributions are
100% vested. Withdrawal features in the 401(K) plan are the same as the profit
sharing plan. Expenses for this plan were $42,835 for the year ending December
31, 1998.

<PAGE>
Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company has a Deferred Compensation Plan which
covers the Chief Executive Officer. This plan is a non-qualified voluntary
deferral salary program with participation limited to the Bank's senior
management group of vice president and above.
Contributions to the plan are voluntary and may be changed from year to
year based upon the income needs of eligible participants. Amounts deferred are
assets of the Bank and income derived from the investment of these assets are
also reflected as assets of the Bank. These assets are subject to the claims of
creditors of the corporation. Deferred funds will be invested and reinvested by
the corporation until such time the employee separates from service and elects
to receive the deferral amounts plus accumulated earnings. The corporation has
the right to invest bank assets in cash, cash equivalents, marketable
securities, common stock, life insurance, annuities or savings instruments as
deemed appropriate by the Trustees and Board of Directors. Expenses for this
plan were $13,265 for the year ending December 31, 1998.
PROPOSAL II - RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS
The Board of Directors believes it appropriate to submit for action by
the shareholders its selection of Tourville, Simpson & Henderson, L.L.P. as the
Company's independent auditors for 1999 to audit the consolidated financial
statements of the Company for the current year and to perform such other
appropriate accounting services as may be required by the Board.
Representatives of Tourville, Simpson & Henderson, L.L.P. are expected
to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if
they so desire and they are expected to be available to respond to appropriate
questions.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" ratification of the
appointment of Tourville, Simpson & Henderson, L.L.P. as the Company's
independent auditors.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires certain officers of the
Company and its directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of any
registered class of the Company's common stock, to file reports of ownership and
changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on a review of the reports and
written representations provided to the Company by the above referenced persons,
the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 all
filing requirements applicable to its reporting officers, directors and greater
than ten percent beneficial owners were properly and timely complied with.
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
During the 1998 fiscal year, Tourville, Simpson & Henderson, L.L.P. of
Columbia, South Carolina, served as independent accountants to the Company. They
have been appointed as the Company's independent accountants for the 1999 fiscal
year by the Board of Directors. Representative of Tourville, Simpson &
Henderson, L.L.P. are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have
the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. They will be
available to respond to proper questions regarding the independent accountants'
responsibilities.
