SouthBanc Shares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
---------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for
SouthBanc Shares, Inc. ("Company") were prepared in accordance with
instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures
necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of
operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. All adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements
have been included. The results of operations for the period ended June
30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements do
not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended
September 30, 1998.
2. Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company, Perpetual Bank, A Federal Savings Bank,
("Savings Bank"), and the Savings Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries,
Mortgage First Service Corporation and United Service Corporation, and
United Service Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, United Investment
Services.
United Service Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Savings
Bank. At June 30, 1999, United Service had assets of $2.6 million.
United Service is involved in two residential and two commercial real
estate development projects.
All significant intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
3. Payment of Dividends
--------------------
The payment of dividends by the Company depends primarily on the ability
of the Savings Bank to pay dividends to the Company. The payment of
dividends by the Savings Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). The Savings Bank may not declare or pay a
cash dividend if the effect thereof would cause the capital of the
Savings Bank to be reduced below regulatory capital requirements imposed
by the OTS or below the liquidation account established by the Savings
Bank in connection with the conversion of the Savings Bank's former
mutual holding company (SouthBanc Shares, M.H.C.) from the mutual to
stock form of organization.
The Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.15 per
share to its shareholders during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, payable
to shareholders of record as of July 5, 1999.
4. Earnings Per Share
------------------
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 specifies the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per
share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock or potential
common stock such as options, warrants, convertible securities or
contingent stock agreements if those securities trade in a public market.
This standard specifies computation and presentation requirements for
both basic EPS and, for entities with complex capital structures, diluted
EPS. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is
similar to the computation of
8

4. Earnings Per Share (Continued)
------------------------------
basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to
include the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. The
dilutive effect of options outstanding under the Company's stock option
plan is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the
treasury stock method. SFAS No. 128 is effective for reporting periods
ending after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS No. 128 during
the quarter ended December 31, 1997. Accordingly, all prior period
earnings per share have been restated for the purchase of Treasury Stock.

Total assets increased 0.66% or $2.4 million to $364.9 million at June 30, 1999,

1999. Accumulated other comprehensive income net decreased $1.5 million to a
($1.4) million at June 30, 1999, from $180,000 at September 30, 1998, due to a
decrease in the market value of the investment securities available for sale and
mortgage-backed securities available for sale resulting from an increase in
interest rates in the securities markets.

million to ($2.4) million at June 30, 1999, from ($0.7) million at September 30,
1998, due to the transfer of 91,252 shares of common stock valued at $1.8

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 1999, and
1998
Net Income
- ----------
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999, increased 32.40% to $1.6
million or $0.51 basic earnings per share and $0.48 diluted earnings per share,

Net Interest Income
- -------------------
Net interest income decreased $70,000 to $3.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, from $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998.
Total interest income increased 2.99% or $191,000 to $6.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, from $6.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998, due primarily to a higher average balance of outstanding loans which
increased $35.3 million or 17.65% to an average of $235.3 million yielding 8.16%
for the three months ended June 30, 1999, from $200.0 million yielding 8.73% for

ended June 30, 1999, from $79.0 million. Interest income on other investments

investment securities and interest bearing securities which decreased 40.27% or
$21.1 million, to an average balance of $31.3 million yielding 6.69% for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, from $52.4 million yielding 6.24% for the
three months ended June 30, 1998. The higher average balance of investment
securities and interest bearing securities for the three months ended June 30,
1998, was due to the over-subscription of the stock offering in April 1998.
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense on deposits increased 2.77% or $60,000 as the average
outstanding balance increased 10.75% or $22.0 million to $226.7 million at an

three months ended June 30, 1999, from $75.7 million for the three months ended

Provisions for Loan Losses
- --------------------------
Provisions for loan losses are charges to earnings to bring the total allowance
for loan losses to a level considered adequate by management to provide for
management's best estimate of inherent loan losses. In determining the adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses, management evaluates various factors including
the market value of the underlying collateral, growth, and composition of the
loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding
loans, loss experience, delinquency trends and economic conditions. Management
evaluates the carrying value of loans periodically, and the allowance for loan
losses is adjusted accordingly.
The provision for loan losses increased 325.0% or $130,000 to $170,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, from $40,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1998, due to an increase of net charge-offs and an increase in non-
performing assets. Net charge-offs increased $46,000 to $52,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, from $6,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998.
Non-performing assets at June 30, 1999, were $2.3 million consisting of $87,000
of residential mortgage construction loans, $437,000 of real estate acquired in
settlement of loans, $705,000 of single family residential loans, $842,000 of a
commercial real estate loan, $35,000 of land loans, $136,000 of commercial
loans, and $107,000 of consumer loans.

$383,000 of residential mortgage construction loans, $90,000 of real estate
acquired in settlement of loans, $499,000 of single family residential loans,
$35,000 of commercial real estate loans, $31,000 of land loans, $206,000 of
commercial loans, and $20,000 of consumer loans.

1.07% at September 30, 1998.
Decrease In Loss Reserve On Limited Partnership
- -----------------------------------------------
Decrease in loss reserve on limited partnership was $400,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to no change in the reserve for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. Based on an independent appraisal, the loss reserve
established for the limited partnership was decreased resulting in an increase
in the book value of the limited partnership and income before taxes of
$400,000. Recent ascension in market interest rates have improved the value of
the limited partnership. The limited partnership, an equity investment, invests
in mortgage servicing rights tied to a national portfolio of residential
mortgage loans.
Other Income
- ------------
Total other income increased 43.78% or $384,000 to $1.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999, from $877,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. Loan and deposit service charges increased $345,000 to $924,000 from
$579,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as a result of an increase in
the number of checking accounts and changes to the fee structure of deposit
accounts. Gain (loss) on sale of investments was a loss of $171,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to a loss of $10,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. Gain or loss on sale of real estate acquired in
settlement of loans was a loss of $9,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999, compared to a gain of $14,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998.
Gain on sale of loans was $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999,
compared to a gain of $11,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Gain on
sale of real estate held for development was $128,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999, as eight residential lots were sold by the United Service
Corporation in The Meadows residential subdivision and two two-acre tracts of

13
<PAGE>

decreased 18.30% or $28,000 to $125,000 for the three months ended June 30,

to $75,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, from $47,000 for the three

enhanced checking products, to increase checking fee income. Data processing

1999, from $114,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, as a result of

or $25,000 to $421,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, from $446,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1998, due to consultant fees for sales
training, staff realignment and product fee enhancements.

June 30, 1999, from $610,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This was
due to an increase in income before taxes of 31.33% or $564,000 to $2.4 million
from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, and 1998,
respectively.

of $80,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. Gain (loss) on sale of real
estate acquired in settlement of loans was a gain of $14,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to a gain of $24,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1998. Gain on sale of loans, net, was a gain of $88,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to a gain of $7,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998. Gain on sale of real estate held for development was
$301,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, as fifteen residential lots
were sold by the United Service Corporation in The Meadows residential
subdivision, one five-acre tract of commercial real estate was sold in Perpetual
Square and two two-acre tracts of industrial real estate sold in Northpark
Industrial Park, compared to a gain of $131,000 for the nine months ended June
30, 1998, as six residential lots were sold in The Meadows and three tracts of
industrial real estate was sold in Northpark Industrial Park. Other income
increased $196,000 to $924,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared
to $728,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, due to earnings from the
cash surrender value of life insurance.

General and Administrative
- ---------------------------
General and administrative expenses increased 1.54% or $100,000 to $6.6 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, from $6.5 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998. Salaries and employee benefits increased 0.35% or $12,000
due to normal salary increases, which were offset by staff realignments in an
effort to reduce costs, which resulted in a decrease of sixteen employees to 105
employees for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 121 employees for
the nine months ended June 30, 1998. Office occupancy increased 8.48% or
$29,000 to $371,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, from $342,000, due
to increases in property taxes and building maintenance. Furniture and
equipment expenses increased 8.92% or $67,000 to $818,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999, from $751,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, due
to upgrades in data processing equipment and software resulting in an increase
of depreciation expense of $27,000 and an increase in service contracts of
$30,000. Advertising decreased 18.45% or $31,000 to $137,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1999, from $168,000 for the nine months ended June 30,
1998, as a result of winding down the Free Checking Advertising Campaign that
began in October 1994. Data processing increased 36.88% or $118,000 to $438,000
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, from $320,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1998, as a result of increased volume and cost of ATM and debit card
processing, and Year 2000 computer and computer software testing costs of
$35,000. Office supplies decreased 14.90% or $38,000 to $217,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1999, from $255,000 for the nine months ended June 30,
1998, due to a decrease in the purchase of data processing supplies. Other
operating expenses were $1.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998.
Income Taxes
- ------------
Income taxes increased 76.92% or $1.0 million to $2.3 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1999, from $1.3 million for the nine months ended June 30,
1998. This was due to an increase in income before taxes of 76.92% or $3.0
million to $6.9 million from $3.9 million for the nine months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loan
principal, and repayment of mortgage backed securities and collateralized
mortgage obligations, and, to a lesser extent, maturities of investment
securities, and short-term investments and operations. While scheduled loan
repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows
and early loan repayments are more influenced by interest rates, general
economic conditions, and competition. The Company attempts to price its
deposits to meet its asset/liability objectives consistent with local market
conditions. Excess balances are invested in overnight funds. In addition, the
Company is eligible to borrow funds from the FHLB of Atlanta. Under OTS
regulations, a member thrift institution is required to maintain an average
daily balance of liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits and savings
accounts, bankers' acceptances, and specified U. S. government, state or federal
agency obligations and certain other investments) equal to a monthly average of
not less than a specified percentage of its net withdrawable accounts plus
short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement, which is currently 4.0%, may
be changed from time to time by the OTS to any amount within the range of 4.0%
to 10.0%, depending upon economic conditions and the savings flow of member
associations. Monetary penalties may be imposed for failure to meet liquidity
requirements. The liquidity of the Company at June 30, 1999, was 20.52%.
The primary investing activity of the Company is lending. During the nine
months ended June 30, 1999, the Company originated $78.5 million of loans, $7.5
million of which were sold. The Company also purchased $24.3 million of loans.
The retained originations were primarily funded by increases in deposits,
principal repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and collateralized
mortgage obligations, Federal Home Loan Bank Advances, and reverse repurchase
agreements.
Liquidity management is both a short and long-term responsibility of management.
The Company adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management's
assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii)
expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and
(v) liquidity of its asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is
generally invested in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term
government and agency obligations. If the Company requires funds beyond its
ability to
16
<PAGE>
generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and
collateral eligible for repurchase agreements.
The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available through
normal loan repayments to meet current loan commitments. At June 30, 1999, the
Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of approximately $56.7
million.
Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30,
1999, totaled $122.0 million. Based upon management's experience and
familiarity with the customers involved and the Company's pricing policy
relative to that of its perceived competitors, management believes that a
significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Company.
The Company plans to repurchase up to 288,273 shares of its common stock before
October 14, 1999, subject to market conditions. The Company intends to fund
the repurchase program through cash on hand and/or liquidation of some of its
other interest earning assets.
Capital Compliance
- ------------------
The Company is not subject to any regulatory capital requirements. The Savings
Bank's actual capital and ratios as required by the OTS, as well as those
required to be considered well capitalized according to the Prompt Corrective
Action Provisions are presented in the following table. As of June 30, 1999,
the most recent notification from the OTS categorized the Savings Bank as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be
categorized as well capitalized, the Savings Bank must maintain minimum total
risk-based, Tier I risked-based, and Tier I core ("leverage") ratios as set
forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification
that management believes have changed the Savings Bank's category.

</TABLE>
If the Savings Bank were to fail to meet the minimum capital requirements, it
will be required to file a written capital restoration plan with regulatory
agencies and would be subject to various mandatory and discretionary
restrictions on its operations.
Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements
- ---------------------------------------
Reporting Comprehensive Income
- ------------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income," in June 1997. The purpose of SFAS 130 is to address
concerns over the practice of reporting elements of comprehensive income
directly in equity. This SFAS requires all items that are required to be
recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement that is displayed in equal prominence with the
other financial statements. This statement is effective for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997. Comparative financial statements are required to be
reclassified to reflect the provisions of this statement. The Company adopted
the provisions of this SFAS beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 1998,
and has included the appropriate components in the Company's Consolidated
Statement of Stockholders' Equity.
Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," in June 1997. This statement applies to all public
entities. The provisions of SFAS 131 require certain disclosures regarding
material industry segments within an entity. Due to the Company's structure,
SFAS 131 is not expected to have a material impact. The Company plans to adopt
this SFAS for the period ending September 30, 1999.
Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 132, "Employers' Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". The new statement revises required
disclosures for employee benefit plans, but does not change the measurement or
recognition of such plans. While the new standard requires some additional
information about benefit plans, it helps preparers of financial statements by
eliminating certain disclosures and by standardizing the disclosures for
pensions and other Post-retirement benefits to the extent practicable. SFAS 132
supersedes the disclosure requirements in SFAS 87, "Employers' Accounting for
Pensions", SFAS 88, "Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of
Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits", and SFAS 106
"Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions". The new
disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.
The adoption of SFAS will not have a material impact on the financial statements
of the Company due to the disclosure only requirements.
18
<PAGE>
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
- ------------------------------------------------------------
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS 133
establishes new accounting and reporting requirements for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts and hedging activities. The standard requires all derivatives to be
measured at fair value and recognized as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of condition. Under certain conditions, a derivative may be
specifically designated as a hedge. Accounting for the changes in fair value of
a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative. Adoption of this
standard is required for all fiscal years and quarters beginning after June 15,
1999. Because the Company has a limited use of derivative transactions,
management does not expect that this standard would have a material effect on
the Company's financial statements.
Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise
- -------------------------------------------------------------
In October 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 134 "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed
Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by
a Mortgage Banking Enterprise" which is effective for the first fiscal quarter
beginning after December 15, 1998. This statement conforms the subsequent
accounting for securities retained after the securitization of mortgage loans by
a mortgage banking enterprise with the subsequent accounting for securities
retained after the securitization of other types of assets by a non-mortgage
banking enterprise. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.
Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
- ---------------------------------------
The Consolidated Financial Statements and related financial data presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles ("GAAP") which require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering the
changes in relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The
primary impact of inflation on operations of the Company is reflected in
increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the
assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a
result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial
institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates
do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the
prices of goods and services.
Year 2000 Considerations
- ------------------------
The Company is a user of computers, computer software and equipment utilizing
embedded microprocessors that will be effected by the year 2000 issue. The year
2000 issue exists because many computer systems and applications use two-digit
date fields to designate a year. As the century date change occurs, date-
sensitive systems may recognize the year 2000 as 1900, or not at all. This
inability to recognize or properly treat the year 2000 may cause erroneous
results, ranging from system malfunctions to incorrect or incomplete processing.
The Company's Year 2000 Committee consists of the Information Services Steering
Committee, consisting of a representative of each user department. The
committee coordinator makes a quarterly or, as major events are completed,
progress report to the Board of Directors. The committee has developed and is
implementing a comprehensive plan to make all information and non-information
technology assets Year 2000 compliant. The plan is comprised of the following
phases:
1. Awareness - Educational initiatives on Year 2000 issues and concerns.
This phase is ongoing, especially as it relates to informing customers
of the Company's Year 2000 preparedness. Additional emphasis will be
placed on customer awareness during the third and fourth quarters of
1999 as the end of the year approaches.
19
<PAGE>
2. Assessment - Inventory of all technology assets and identification of
third-party vendors and service providers. This phase was completed as
of September 30, 1997.
3. Renovation - Review of vendor and service providers responses to the
Company's Year 2000 inquiries and development of a follow-up plan and
timeline. This phase was completed as of December 31, 1998.
4. Validation - The Company has successfully completed the validation
phase of the Y2K plan. Testing was completed on mission critical
systems as of December 10, 1998. Baseline, future date and user
acceptance tests were performed at a test site, using six critical
dates, covering all applications used by the Company. Third party
vendors were identified through software inventory and department
interviews conducted by the Year 2000 coordinator. These applications
were successfully tested and validated as of June 25, 1999. Tests were
performed on site using Y2K compliant hardware and software. System
dates were rolled to the dates deemed critical by the Company. Other
parties whose Year 2000 compliance may effect the Company include the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, brokerage firms, the Company's ATM
network provider, and the Company's pension plan administrator. These
third parties have indicated their compliance. Where testing was not
possible, the Company relied on certifications from vendors and service
providers. The responses from all system vendors and other company's
are monitored and tracked using a computer tracking system.
5. Implementation - Replacement or repair of non-compliant technology. The
Company has completed the readiness phase of the Y2K plan. All hardware
and software the bank utilizes has been upgraded or replaced to be Y2K
compliant. The readiness phase was completed by June 30, 1999, meeting
FFIEC guidelines.
The Company estimated its total cost to replace computer equipment, software
programs or other equipment that were not Year 2000 compliant to be
approximately $150,000, of which $118,139 has been incurred as of June 30, 1999.
System maintenance or modification costs are charged to expense as incurred,
while the cost of new hardware, software or other equipment is capitalized and
amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company does not separately
track the internal costs and time that its own employees spend on year 2000
issues, which are principally payroll costs.
Because the Company depends substantially on its computer systems and those of
third parties, the failure of these systems to be Year 2000 compliant could
cause substantial disruption of the Company's business and could have a material
adverse financial impact on the Company. Failure to resolve Year 2000 issues
presents the following risks to the Company which the Company believes is the
most reasonably likely worst case scenario:
1. The Company could lose customers to other financial institutions,
resulting in a loss of revenue, if the Company's in-house computer
system is unable to properly process customer transactions;
2. Governmental agencies, such as the Federal Home Loan Bank, and
correspondent institutions could fail to provide funds to the Company,
which could materially impair the Company's liquidity and affect the
Company's ability to fund loans, and deposit withdrawals;
3. Concern on the part of depositors that Year 2000 issues could impair
access to their deposit account balances could result in the Company
experiencing deposit outflows prior to December 31, 1999; and
4. The Company could incur increased personnel costs if additional staff
is required to perform functions that inoperative systems would have
otherwise performed. Management believes that it is not possible to
estimate the potential lost revenue due to the Year 2000 issue, as the
extent and longevity of any potential problem cannot be predicted.
20
<PAGE>
The Company has formulated a company-wide Y2K business resumption contingency
plan that includes management efforts in the area of cash and liquidity planning
for the time period prior to and immediately following the Year 2000. Business
functions have been prioritized based on the probability of a system failure in
that area and its impact to that function. The plan provides for the majority
of institution functions to be supported at a reduced level in the event of a
Y2K disaster. An alternate power source will be in place to support item
processing and data processing functions. An "event planning" timeline has been
developed and is already operational with specific strategies documented for the
time period from December 31, 1999 through January 3, 2000 and beyond.
Because a substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio consists of loans
to individuals rather than commercial enterprises, management believes that Year
2000 issues will not impair the ability of the Company's borrowers to repay
their debt. An evaluation of the Company's commercial portfolio has been made
and a determination made that in the event of losses from the commercial loans
that could possibly be affected by Year 2000 failure, it would not have a
significant impact on the Company's financial condition at this particular time.
Each commercial borrower must complete a Y2K work sheet and business plan
referencing their Year 2000 plan no later than June 30, 1999.
The Company has no plans to contract with an independent or outside firm to
conduct an analysis of its Year 2000 exposure. The Company's Year 2000 risk
analysis and exposure are currently being assessed by the internal auditor and
Year 2000 coordinator.
There can be no assurances that the Company's Year 2000 plan will effectively
address the Year 2000 issue, that the Company's estimates of the timing and
costs of completing the plan will ultimately be accurate or that the impact of
any failure of the Company or its third-party vendors and service providers to
be Year 2000 compliant will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 3 - Market Risk Disclosure
- -------------------------------
There have been no material changes to the market risk information set forth
under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations -- Market Risk and Asset Liability Management" in the Company's
Annual Report dated September 30, 1998.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
- ------- -----------------

to be material, either individually or collectively, to the consolidated
financial condition or results of operations of the Savings Bank.
