NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Southern Community Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") was
incorporated in the State of Delaware at the direction of
management of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of
Cullman (the "Association") for the purpose of serving as a
savings institution holding company of the Association upon the
acquisition of all of the capital stock issued by the Association
upon the conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings
association form of organization to a federally chartered stock
savings association (the "Conversion").
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements as of March 31, 1999 and 1998, and for the three-month
and six-month periods then ended, include the accounts of the Company
and the Association. All significant intercompany transactions and
accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared by
the Company without an audit, but in the opinion of management,
reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of
financial position and results of operations for the three-month
and six month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. Results of
operations for the current interim period are not necessarily
indicative of results expected for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1999. While certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, management believes that the
disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 1998. The
accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in
the summary of significant accounting policies in the
Company's September 30, 1998 financial statements.
2.EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the three-month and six-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.
Common Stock outstanding consists of issued shares less unallocated
ESOP shares, and shares owned by the MRP and SOP plan trust.
In 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share,"
effective December 15, 1997. The following table represents
the earnings per share calculations for the three and six months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998:

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
On December 23, 1996, the Company completed the sale of
1,137,350 shares of its common stock in an initial public offering at
a price of $10.00 per share and simultaneously acquired the shares of
common stock of the Association in connection with the mutual to stock
conversion. Costs associated with the offering were approximately
$750,000. Prior to December 23, 1996, the Company had not issued any
stock, had no assets or liabilities and had not engaged in any
business activities other than of an organizational nature.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 1999 and
September 30, 1998. Total assets decreased by $2.1 million or 3.13%,
due primarily to the payment of a $2.1 million special dividend.
Liabilities increased by $1.0 milion or 1.8%, primarily due to an
increase in deposits. Loans receivable decreased by $1,914,000 primarily
due to loan payoffs. These funds along with the increase in deposits were
used to fund a $1.5 million, or 17.5%, increase in securities available
for sale and to pay the $2.1 million special dividend.
Stockholders' equity decreased by $3.0 million due primarily to
the payment of a $2.1 million special dividend.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998. The Company reported net income for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 of $143,000 as compared to $154,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 amounted to $639,000 as compared to $734,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Net interest income
after provision for loan losses decreased $95,000 or 12.8%, during the
three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the prior year period.
This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the average balance
of securities during the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared
to the prior year period.
Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are made
to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level. The
allowance for loan losses reflects management's estimates which took
into account historical experience, the amount of non-performing assets,
and general economic conditions. No provision for loan losses was made
for either of the quarters ended March 31, 1999 of 1998.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 amounted to $433,000 as compared to $509,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. The $76,000, or 14.8% decrease
is primarily due to recurring cost savings from operations.
Capital Resources. The Association's primary sources of funds
are customer deposits, repayments of loan principal, and interest from
loans and investments. While scheduled principal repayments on loans
and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of
funds, deposit flows, and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by
general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The
Association manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a desired
deposit balance. In addition, the Association invests in short-term
interest-earning assets which provide liquidity to meet lending
requirements.
The Association is required to maintain certain levels of
regulatory capital. At March 31, 1999 and September 30, 1998, the
Company and the Association were in compliance with all regulatory
capital requirements.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998. The Company reported net income for the six
months ended March 31, 1999 of $303,000 as compared to $370,000 for the
six months ended March 31, 1998.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the six months ended
March 31, 1999 amounted to $1,322,000 as compared to $1,443,000 for the
six months ended March 31, 1998. Total interest income decreased $202,000
or 7.6% during the six months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the
prior year period. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in
the average balance of total interest bearing assets during the six months
ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the prior period. Total interest
expense decreased during the six months ended March 31, 1999. This
decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in average deposits between
the periods.
Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are made to
maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level. The allowance
for loan losses reflects management's estimates which took into account
historical experience, the amount of nonperforming assets, and general
economic conditions.
Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the six months
ended March 31, 1999 decreased by $14,000 to $223,000 as compared to income
tax expense of $237,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998. This
decrease is due to decreased income before income taxes.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the six months ended
March 31, 1999 amounted to $870,000 as compared to $931,000 for the six
months ended March 31, 1998. The $61,000 or 6.5% decrease is primarily
due to recurring cost savings from operations. These decreases were
particially offset by increased compensation expense due to the ESOP and
MRP plans.
Year 2000 Problem. A great deal of information has been disseminated
about the global computer crash that may occur in the year 2000. Many
computer programs that can only distinguish the final two digits of the
year entered (a common programming practice in earlier years) are expected
to read entries for the year 2000 as the year 1900. All of the significant
data processing of the Association that could be affected by this problem
is provided by a third party service bureau. The service bureau of the
Association has advised the Association that it has resolved any potential
problem.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

various legal proceedings incident to its or their business. At
March 31, 1999, there were no legal proceedings to which the
