Note 2. Summary of organization
People's Community Capital Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated
on February 26, 1997, under the laws of the State of South Carolina for the
purpose of operating as a bank holding company pursuant to the Federal Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended.
The Company is a bank holding company whose subsidiary, People's
Community Bank of South Carolina (the "Bank"), is primarily engaged in the
business of accepting savings and demand deposits insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, and providing mortgage, consumer and commercial loans to
the general public. The Bank formed a subsidiary, People's Financial Services,
Inc. in December 1999 for the purpose of providing comprehensive financial
planning services in addition to full service brokerage, including stocks,
bonds, mutual funds, and insurance products.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
This discussion and analysis is intended to assist the reader in
understanding our financial condition and results of operations. This commentary
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related
notes and other statistical information in this report.
This report contains "forward-looking statements" relating to, without
limitation, future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for
future operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that
are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by and
information currently available to our management. The words "expect,"
"anticipate," and "believe," as well as similar expressions, are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially
from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and our operating
performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are
discussed in detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including the "Risk Factors" section in our registration statement on Form SB-2
(Registration Number 333-25179) as filed with and declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
We were incorporated in South Carolina on February 26, 1997 for the
purpose of operating as a bank holding company. Our wholly-owned subsidiary,
People's Community Bank of South Carolina (the "Bank"), commenced business on
September 22, 1997 and is primarily engaged in the business of accepting savings
and demand deposits and providing mortgage, consumer and commercial loans to the
general public. The Bank operates two banking centers located in Aiken and one
located in North Augusta, South Carolina.
<PAGE>
The second banking center located in Aiken was opened on September 8,
1998 in leased offices that also are the headquarters of the holding company. A
tract of land has been purchased in downtown Aiken for the construction of a
permanent banking center office. The cost of the land and preliminary
construction costs through June 30, 2000 were approximately $231,000.
Construction of the office is expected to begin this year.
In December 1999, the Bank formed a subsidiary, People's Financial
Services, Inc. for the purpose of providing comprehensive financial planning
services in addition to full service brokerage, including stocks, bonds, mutual
funds, and insurance products.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EARNINGS REVIEW - Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2000 to the
three months ended June 30, 1999
Our net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $146,895 compared to
$86,532 for the same period last year. The basic income per share increased to
$.15 compared to $.09 for the same period in 1999. This improvement in earnings
reflects the continued growth in the level of earning assets since the Bank
commenced operations. The level of average earning assets was $51.9 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $38.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999.
Net interest income represents the difference between interest received
or accrued on interest earning assets and interest paid or accrued on interest
bearing liabilities. The following presents, in a tabular form, average balance
sheets that highlight the main components of interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities, on an annualized basis, for the three month
periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Yields are derived by dividing income or
expense by the average balance of the corresponding assets or liabilities.
Average balances have been derived from daily averages.

</TABLE>
Net interest income was $682,482 for the three months ended June 30,
2000 as compared to $503,549 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The net
interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets) was
5.27% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the net interest
margin of 5.24% for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Interest income for the second quarter of 2000 was $1,103,652 compared
to $759,702 for the same period in 1999. The volume of total earnings assets
increased by about $13.4 million between the two periods. The largest component
of interest income was interest and fees on loans amounting to $898,858 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $577,367 for the comparable prior
year period. The overall rate on the loan portfolio increased from 9.07% for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 to 9.23% for the three month period ended June
30, 2000. Interest earned on federal funds sold decreased slightly between the
two periods under review as the average federal funds sold balance was lower for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 than for the comparable period in 1999 by
about $2.3 million. Interest income on securities increased between the two
periods as the average balance increased by about $2.3 million and the average
rate earned increased.
Interest expense increased from $256,153 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 to $421,170 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as the size
of interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits, increased from $26.4
million to
<PAGE>
$38.2 million, an increase of 45%. The average rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities increased from 3.89% to 4.41% reflecting the increases in general
market rates of interest paid on deposits as prompted by several increases in
the prime rate.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 2000 was
$88,272 compared to $66,869 for the same period in 1999. Of this total, $57,967
represented service charges on deposit accounts for the three months ended June
30, 2000 compared to $49,443 for the comparable period in 1999. The increase in
income from deposit service charges is due to the increase in deposit customers
during the comparable periods. The remaining $30,305 of non-interest income for
the second quarter of 2000 was income generated from other fees charged such as
brokered mortgage origination fees, lease fees, commissions on sale of checks to
customers, and fees from non-deposit investment products' activity associated
with the Bank's financial services subsidiary. For the second quarter of 1999,
other income amounted to $17,426, the largest component being brokered mortgage
origination fee income. Brokered mortgage origination fee income has been
significantly less in 2000 compared to last year, reflecting the decrease in
refinancing activities associated with rising interest rates. The majority of
other fee income for the second quarter of 2000 was $17,929 of fees from
non-deposit investment products' activity. The financial services subsidiary
began operations in December 1999.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expense for the three month periods ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 were $473,123 and $396,791, respectively, a 19% increase. The largest
component of non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits of $261,783
and $228,498, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 15%
due to general merit increases, the addition of staff associated with the
financial services subsidiary, and the matching of 401k plan contributions that
began January 1, 2000. Occupancy and equipment expense increased from $47,729 to
$53,280, or 12% largely due to additional depreciation associated with new
equipment purchases and repairs on existing equipment. Consulting and
professional fees increased from $10,710 to $22,186 due to increases in other
consulting service contracts, an increase in the FDIC fee assessment as deposits
have increased, and the commencement of directors' fees in August 1999. General
operating expenses increased from $62,547 to $79,951, or 28%. This increase was
due to higher levels of Bank activity generating increased costs, primarily in
data processing, but also in items such as postage, supplies and Federal Reserve
processing fees. Other expenses increased from $31,308 to $38,516, or 23%,
primarily due to increased advertising.
EARNINGS REVIEW - Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2000 to the six
months ended June 30, 1999
Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $251,369
compared to $146,089 for the same period last year. The basic income per share
increased to $.26 compared to $.15 for the same period in 1999. This improvement
in earnings reflects the continued growth in the level of earning assets since
the Bank commenced operations. The level of average earning assets was $50.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $36.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999.
The following presents, in a tabular form, yield and rate data for
interest-bearing balance sheet components during the six month periods ended

</TABLE>
Net interest income was $1,328,978 for the six months ended June 30,
2000 as compared to $962,723 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The net
interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets) was
5.27% for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the net interest margin
of 5.32% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Interest income for the first six months of 2000 was $2,134,703
compared to $1,434,802 for the same period in 1999. The volume of total earning
assets increased from $36.2 million at June 30, 1999 to $50.4 million at June
30, 2000. The largest component of interest income was interest and fees on
loans amounting to $1,722,505 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to
$1,086,150 for the comparable prior year period. The overall rate on the loan
portfolio increased from 9.08% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 9.25%
for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 as we encountered a period of
rising interest rates. As with the quarterly analysis previously presented,
interest earned on federal funds sold decreased slightly between the two periods
under review as the average federal funds sold balance was lower for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 than for the comparable period in 1999. Interest
income on securities increased between the two periods as the average balance
increased from $8,327,101 to $10,677,721, and the average rate earned increased
from 6.15% to 6.35%.
<PAGE>
Interest expense increased from $472,079 for the six months ended June
30, 1999 to $805,725 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as the size of
interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits, increased from $24.5 million
to $37.3 million, an increase of 52%. The average rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities increased from 3.86% to 4.32% reflecting the increases in general
market rates of interest paid on deposits as prompted by several increases in
the prime rate.
Non-interest Income
-------------------
Non-interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 was
$169,189 compared to $146,633 for the same period in 1999. Of this total,
$115,555 represented service charges on deposit accounts for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to $86,351 for the comparable period in 1999. The
increase in income from deposit service charges is due to the increase in
deposit customers during the comparable periods. The remaining $53,634 of
non-interest income for the first half of 2000 was income generated from other
fees charged such as brokered mortgage origination fees, lease fees, commissions
on sale of checks to customers, and fees from non-deposit investment products'
activity associated with the Bank's financial services subsidiary. For the first
half of 1999, other income amounted to $60,282, the largest component being
brokered mortgage origination fee income of $33,862. Brokered mortgage
origination fee income has been significantly less in 2000 compared to last year
at $3,770, reflecting the decrease in refinancing activities associated with
rising interest rates. The majority of other fee income for the first six months
of 2000 was $28,550 of fees from non-deposit investment products' activity. The
financial services subsidiary began operations in December 1999.
Non-interest Expense
--------------------
Non-interest expense for the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999 were $974,916 and $807,368, respectively, a 21% increase. The largest
component of non-interest expense was salaries and employee benefits of $533,097
and $465,889, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 14%
due to general merit increases, the addition of staff associated with the
financial services subsidiary, and the matching of 401k plan contributions that
began January 1, 2000. Occupancy and equipment expense increased from $98,313 to
$114,215, or 16% largely due to additional depreciation associated with new
equipment purchases and repairs on existing equipment. Consulting and
professional fees increased from $39,351 to $60,821 due to increases in other
consulting service contracts, an increase in the FDIC fee assessment as deposits
have increased, and the commencement of directors' fees in August 1999. General
operating expenses increased from $119,569 to $167,221, or 40%. This increase
was due to higher levels of Bank activity generating increased costs, primarily
in data processing, but also in items such as postage, supplies and Federal
Reserve processing fees. Other expenses increased from $54,079 to $65,242, or
21%, primarily due to increased levels of advertising.
Provision for Loan Losses
-------------------------
The provision for loan losses was $117,275 and $65,706, respectively,
for the first six months of 2000 and 1999, bringing the total reserve balance to
$508,000 and $350,000 at June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This amount
represents 1.30% of gross loans at both June 30, 2000 and at June 30, 1999. It
also reflects management's estimates of the amounts necessary to maintain the
allowance for loan losses at a level believed to be adequate in relation to the
current size, mix and quality of the loan portfolio. See the description of the
allowance for loan losses below. However, management's judgment as to the
adequacy of the allowance is based upon a number of assumptions about future
events that it believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not be accurate.
Because of the inherent uncertainty of assumptions made during the evaluation
process, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not
exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the loan
loss allowance will not be required. We had $18,000 in potential problem loans
that were classified as non-accrual loans at June 30, 2000. There were no
non-performing loans at June 30, 1999. Loan charge-offs for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 were $19,275 and were $706 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Charge-offs in both years were made in the second quarter.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Total consolidated assets grew by $3.7 million from $54,794,787 at
December 31, 1999 to $58,543,058 at June 30, 2000. The increase was generated
through a $4.6 million increase in deposits with a $1 million decrease in
borrowed funds. The increase in deposits was used to fund loans that increased
by $5.4 million on a net basis. Cash and due from banks decreased by $1.4
million. Federal funds sold and securities available for sale remained fairly
comparable at June 30, 2000 and at December 31, 1999. There were no purchases or
maturities of investment securities in the period except for $8,500 of
additional stock purchased in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
Loans
-----
Net outstanding loans represent the largest component of earning assets
as of June 30, 2000 at $38,619,140, or 71% of total earning assets. Net loans
increased $5,393,943, or 16%, since December 31, 1999.
The interest rates charged on loans vary with the degree of risk,
maturity and amount of the loan. Competitive pressures, money market rates,
availability of funds, and government regulations also influence interest rates.
The average yield on our loans for the period ended June 30, 2000 was 9.25% as
compared to a yield of 9.19% for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Allowance for Loan Losses
-------------------------
The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2000 was $508,000, or 1.30%
of loans outstanding, compared to an allowance of $410,000, or 1.22%, at
December 31, 1999. The allowance for loan losses is based upon management's
continuing evaluation of the collectibility of loans based somewhat on
historical loan loss experience, but mostly, because of the lack of historical
data available in a new company, based on current economic conditions affecting
the ability of borrowers to repay, the volume of loans, the quality of
collateral securing non-performing and problem loans, and other factors
deserving recognition. As of June 30, 2000, there were $18,000 in non-performing
loans with charge-offs of $19,275 for the six month period.
Securities
----------
Investment securities represented 19.5% of earning assets at June 30,
2000 with a total of $10,610,359, down $100,651 from the December 31, 1999
balance of $10,711,010. There have been no purchases or maturities of
investments for the six months since December 31, 1999 with the exception of
additional stock purchased in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. The yield
on investment securities was 6.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2000
compared to 6.18% for the year ended December 31, 1999. Included in
available-for-sale securities is $109,900 of stock purchased in the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Atlanta, of which $8,500 was purchased in the first quarter of
2000. This purchase was a requirement from the FHLB in order to secure
borrowings from them in the future.
Deposits
--------
Our primary source of funds for loans and investments is deposits.
Deposits grew $4,572,524, or 10.5%, since year-end 1999 for a total of
$47,741,265 at June 30, 2000. The average rates paid on interest-bearing
deposits were 4.30% and 3.93% at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
respectively. In pricing deposits, we consider our liquidity needs, the
direction and levels of interest rates, and local market conditions. The Bank
had paid higher rates initially to attract deposits but had subsequently
decreased the rates based on the factors above. The Bank has now seen rates
begin to move back up again due to changes in those same factors.
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
--------------------------------
At June 30, 2000, our liquid assets, consisting of cash and due from
banks and Federal funds sold, amounted to $6,923,681, representing 11.8% of
total assets. Investment securities amounted to $10,610,359, representing 18.1%
of total assets; these securities provide a secondary source of liquidity since
they can be converted into cash in a timely manner. Our ability to maintain and
expand our deposit base and borrowing capabilities also serves as a source of
liquidity. For the six month period ended June 30, 2000, total deposits
increased by $4.6 million representing an increase of 10.5%, or 21% on an
annualized basis. Our deposit growth rate is not as high as it was in the
initial periods of our development. Our management closely monitors and seeks to
maintain appropriate levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities so that maturities of assets are such that adequate funds are
provided to meet customer withdrawals and loan demand.
We plan to meet future cash needs through the liquidation of temporary
investments, maturities of loans and investment securities, and generation of
deposits. In addition, the Bank maintains two lines of credit from correspondent
banks in the amount of $1,800,000 each, and is a member of the Federal Home Loan
Bank, from which applications may be made for borrowing capabilities, if needed.
The Bank currently maintains a level of capitalization in excess of the
minimum capital requirements set by the regulatory agencies. Despite anticipated
asset growth, management expects its capital ratios to continue to be adequate
for the next two to three years. However, no assurances can be given in this
regard, as rapid growth, deterioration in loan quality, and operating losses, or
a combination of these factors, could change our capital position in a
relatively short period of time. We plan to begin construction in 2000 on an
office building in downtown Aiken with total estimated capital expenditures of
$1,400,000. The capital project is expected to be funded with internal sources.
The cost of the land and preliminary construction costs through June 30, 2000
was approximately $231,000.
During the first quarter of this year, 5,000 shares of our outstanding
stock were purchased at $9.75 per share to hold as treasury stock. In the second
quarter, another 5,637 shares were purchased at $8.00 per share. The total
purchase price of the acquired shares was $93,846. The treasury stock was
purchased for possible utilization in connection with our stock option plan. Our
Board of Directors has approved approximately 100,000 shares to be purchased as
treasury stock. To date, 25,637 shares have been purchased for a cost of
$251,346, at an average of $9.81 per share.
Below is a table that reflects the leverage and risk-based regulatory
capital ratios of the Bank at June 30, 2000:
Well-Capitalized Minimum
Ratio Requirement Requirement
----- ---------------- -----------
Tier 1 Capital 14.50% 6.00% 4.00%
Total Capital 15.74% 10.00% 8.00%
Tier 1 leverage ratio 11.25% 5.00% 4.00%
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
----------------
Like many financial institutions, we rely upon computers for conducting
our business and for information systems processing. Industry experts were
concerned that on January 1, 2000, some computers would not be able to interpret
the new year properly, causing computer malfunctions. While we have not
experienced any material computer malfunctions to date, there remains a risk
that our computers will be unable to read or interpret data on Year
2000-sensitive dates, including October 10, 2000. Our regulators have issued
guidelines to require compliance with Year 2000 issues. In accordance with these
guidelines, we have developed and executed a plan to ensure that our computer
and telecommunication systems do not have these Year 2000 problems. We generally
rely on software and hardware developed by independent third parties for our
information systems. We believe that our internal systems and software,
including our network connections, are programmed to comply with Year 2000
requirements, although there is a risk they
<PAGE>
may not be. We incurred approximately $2,000 in expenses in 1999 to implement
our Year 2000 plan. Under our plan, we are continuing to monitor the situation
throughout 2000. Based on information currently available, we believe that we
will not incur significant additional expenses in connection with the Year 2000
issue.
The Year 2000 issue may also negatively affect the business of our
customers, but to date we are not aware of any material Year 2000 issues
affecting them. We include Year 2000 readiness in our lending criteria to
minimize risk. However, this will not eliminate the issue, and any financial
difficulties that our customers experience caused by Year 2000 issues could
impair their ability to repay loans to us.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, FASB, issued
SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instrument and Hedging Activities." All
derivatives are to be measured at fair value and recognized in the balance sheet
as assets or liabilities. The statement is now effective for fiscal years and
quarters beginning after June 15, 2000 (delayed through the issuance of SFAS
137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 - An Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133"). Because we do not use derivative transactions at this time,
management does not expect that this standard will have a significant effect on
us.
