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, 2000 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, 1999.

2.       Principles of Consolidation
         ---------------------------

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
         the accounts of the Company, Perpetual Bank, a Federal Savings Bank,
         ("Bank"), and the 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 Bank. At
         June 30, 2000, United Service had assets of $2.2 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 Bank to pay dividends to the Company. The payment of
         dividends by the Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift
         Supervision ("OTS"). The 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 Bank in connection
         with the conversion of the 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, 2000,
         payable on July 18, 2000 to shareholders of record as of July 3, 2000.

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.

4.       Earnings Per Share (Continued)
         ------------------------------

         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 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.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss net increased $0.4 million to $2.4 million
at June 30, 2000, from $2.0 million at September 30, 1999, 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.

Deferred compensation for Management Recognition Plan (MRP) decreased $0.4
million to $1.8 million at June 30, 2000, from $2.2 million at September 30,
1999, due to the amortization of the cost of the MRP.

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 decreased 55.9% or $95,000, to $75,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, from $170,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1999, as charge-offs were $26,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000,
compared to $59,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

Non-performing assets at June 30, 2000, were $5.4 million, consisting of $2.1
million of residential construction loans, $481,000 of real estate acquired in
settlement of loans, $1.4 million of single family residential loans, $1.3
million of commercial real estate loans, $138,000 of commercial loans, and
$49,000 of consumer loans.

Non-performing assets at September 30, 1999, were $2.6 million, consisting of
$88,000 of residential mortgage construction loans, $208,000 of real estate
acquired in settlement of loans, $1,184,000 of single family residential loans,
$873,000 of commercial real estate loans, $126,000 of commercial loans, and
$86,000 of consumer loans.

The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.01% at June 30, 2000 and at
September 30, 1999.

Other Income
------------

Total other income decreased 16.2%, or $269,000, to $1.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, from $1.7 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999. Loan and deposit service charges increased $71,000 to $995,000 from
$924,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, as a result of an increase to
the fee structure of deposit accounts. There was no gain (loss) on sale of
investments for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to a loss of
$171,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Gain (loss) on sale of real
estate acquired in settlement of loans was a loss of $6,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000, compared to a loss of $9,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999.

Gain on sale of loans was $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000,
compared to a gain of $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Gain on
sale of real estate held for development was $2,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000, as two residential lots and one residential house were sold by

Provision 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 31.82% or $105,000 to $435,000 for the
nine months ended June 30, 2000, from $330,000 for the nine months ended June
30, 1999 as charge offs were $176,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2000,
compared to $116,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999, and non-performing

on the underlying mortgages for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 have
increased at a lower rate when compared to the nine months end June 30, 1999.

months ended June 30, 2000 from $217,000 for the nine months ended June 30,

------------

ended June 30, 2000 from $2,257,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999.

$5.7 million from $6.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
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 Federal Home Loan Bank ("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, 2000 was 11.32%.

The primary investing activity of the Company is lending. During the nine months
ended June 30, 2000, the Company originated $64.8 million of loans and no loans
were sold. The Company also purchased $25.0 million of loans. The retained
originations were primarily funded by principal repayments of loans and
mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, and FHLB
advances.

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 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, 2000, the
Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of approximately $68.3
million which is comprised of $37.8 million adjustable rate commitments and
$30.5 million fixed rate commitments.

Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30,
2000, totaled $121.5 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.

Capital Compliance
------------------

The Company is not subject to any regulatory capital requirements. The 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, 2000, the most
recent notification from the OTS categorized the Bank as well capitalized under
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, the 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 Bank's category.

If the Bank were to fail to meet the minimum capital requirements, it will be

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements
---------------------------------------

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." All derivatives are to be measured at fair
value and recognized in the balance sheet as assets or liabilities. This
statement's effective date was delayed by the issuance of SFAS No. 137
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and hedging Activities - Deferral of the
Effective Date of SFAS 133", and is effective for fiscal years and quarters
beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not expect that the adoption of
SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact on the presentation of the Company's
financial results or financial position.

Accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB that will not require
adoption until a future date and will impact the preparation of the financial
statements will not have a material effect upon adoption.



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.
