ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition as of March
31, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999, and the results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1999. These comments should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed
consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes appearing 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 the Company's management, as well as assumptions
made by and information currently available to the Company's management. The
words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," and "believe," as well as similar
expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, net interest income increased
$239,000, or 25.73%, over the same period in 1999. Interest income from loans,
including fees, increased $584,000, or 41.77%, from the three months ended March
31, 1999 to the three months ended March 31, 2000 as demand for loans in the
Company's marketplace continued to grow. The development of the Company's
branches in Conway and North Myrtle Beach contributed primarily to this growth.
Also contributing to the overall increase in net interest income was an increase
of $91,000 in income from investment securities. Interest expense for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,222,000 compared to $782,000 for the same
period in 1999. The net interest margin realized on earning assets was 3.85% for
the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to 4.05% for the same period
in 1999.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that
management believes is necessary to maintain the allowance for possible loan
losses at an adequate level. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the
provision charged to expense was $61,000 as compared to the provision of $60,000
charged to expense during the three months ended March 31, 1999. There are risks
inherent in making all loans, including risks with respect to the period of time
over which loans may be repaid, risks resulting from changes in economic and
industry conditions, risks inherent in dealing with individual borrowers, and,
in the case of a collateralized loan, risks resulting from uncertainties about
the future value of the collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for loan
losses based on, among other things, historical experience, an evaluation of
economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio
quality. Management's judgment about the adequacy of the allowance is based upon
a number of assumptions about future events which it believes to be reasonable
but which may not prove to be accurate. Thus, there is a risk that charge-offs
in future periods could exceed the allowance for loan losses or that substantial
additional increases in the allowance for loan losses could be required.
Additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a decrease of the
Company's net income and, possibly, its capital.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -- continued

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income during the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $204,000, an
increase of $40,000, or 24.39%, from the comparable period in 1999. The increase
is primarily a result of an increase in service charges on deposit accounts from
$107,000 at March 31, 1999 to $145,000 at March 31, 2000. This change is a
result of an increase in deposit accounts over the two periods. Deposits at
March 31, 1999 were $79,983,000 compared to $96,348,000 at March 31, 2000.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was
$951,000, or 30.10% higher than the three months ended March 31, 1999. The
primary reason for the $220,000 increase in noninterest expense over the same
period in 1999 was attributable to salaries and employee benefits, which
increased $122,000, or 30.96% over the same period in 1999. This increase was
largely the result of an increase in personnel in management and support
functions.

INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $126,000
as compared to $105,000 for the same period in 1999. The effective tax rate was
35.00% for the quarter ending March 31, 2000 and 34.69% for the quarter ending
March 31, 1999.

NET INCOME

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased by 18.78%, or $37,000,
over the same period in 1999.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

During the first three months of 2000, total assets increased $5,635,000, or
4.93%, when compared to December 31, 1999. The primary reason for this increase
in assets was an increase in loans of $8,680,000 during the first three months
of 2000. It is typical for the Company to have an increase in loans, especially
in the area of agricultural loans, during this time of year. As a partial offset
to this growth in loans, investment securities decreased $414,000 and federal
funds sold decreased $2,190,000. The Company also decreased cash and due from
bank accounts by $1,077,000, or 18.87%. During this same time period, deposits
increased $1,519,000, or 1.60%. This increase in deposits was primarily the
result of an increase of $1,129,000, or 14.12%, in non-interest bearing deposits
during the first three months of 2000.

LOANS

As noted above, gross loans increased by $8,680,000, or 11.45%, during the first
quarter of 2000. This growth is primarily attributable to the Company's
historical seasonal increase in agricultural credits as well as an expansion of
the loan portfolio in North Myrtle Beach and Conway markets in which the Company
opened branches in October 1997 and February 1998, respectively. Balances within
the major loans receivable categories as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
are as follows:

DEPOSITS

At March 31, 2000, total deposits increased by $1,519,000, or 1.60%, from
December 31, 1999. This growth was primarily in the area of non-interest bearing
deposits, which increased by 14.12%. During this quarter, the Company elected to
allow the run-off of several large, secured certificates of deposit due to the
cost thereof and placed emphasis on the increase in core, commercial deposits.

Balances within the major deposit categories as of March 31, 2000 and December
31, 1999 are as follows:

ADVANCES FROM THE FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $10,000,000 at March 31, 2000.
Of this total, $5,000,000 bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.41% and matures in
2003. The remaining $5,000,000 bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.92% and
matures in 2010. The option to call all $10,000,000 of these advances can be
exercised in 2000 and 2001. The Federal Home Loan Bank exercised its call option
on a $5,000,000 advance in February 2000, and the Company then obtained the
second advance noted above which matures in 2010.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity needs are met by the Company through scheduled maturities of loans and
investments on the asset side and through pricing policies on the liability side
for interest-bearing deposit accounts and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank. The level of liquidity is measured by the loans-to-total borrowed funds
ratio, which was at 76.39% at March 31, 2000 and 72.35% at December 31, 1999.

Securities available-for-sale, which totaled $23,478,000 at March 31, 2000,
serve as a ready source of liquidity. The Company also has lines of credit
available with correspondent banks to purchase federal funds for periods from
one to sixteen days. At March 31, 2000, unused lines of credit totaled
$3,200,000.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders' equity increased from $8,341,000 at December 31, 1999 to
$8,420,000 at March 31, 2000. The increase of $79,000 is attributable to
earnings for the period of $234,000. However, earnings were partially offset by
the negative charge to equity of $155,000 relating to the change in fair value
of investment securities. In addition, in January 2000 the Company declared a
two for one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend payable on March
15, 2000. There was no effect on net equity as a result of this stock split.

CAPITAL RESOURCES -- continued

Bank holding companies, such as the Company, and their banking subsidiaries are
required by banking regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital
adequacy which are expressed in the form of certain ratios. Capital is separated
into Tier 1 capital (essentially common shareholders' equity less intangible
assets) and Tier 2 capital (essentially the allowance for loan losses limited to
1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The first two ratios, which are based on the
degree of credit risk in the Company's assets, provide the weighting of assets
based on assigned risk factors and include off-balance sheet items such as loan
commitments and stand-by letters of credit. The ratio of Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.0% and the ratio of total capital (Tier
1 capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.0%.
The capital leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks
and bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1
capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%.

The following table summarizes the Company's risk-based capital at March 31,
2000:

REGULATORY MATTERS

From time to time, various bills are introduced in the United States Congress
with respect to the regulation of financial institutions. Certain of these
proposals, if adopted, could significantly change the regulation of banks and
the financial services industry. The Company cannot predict whether any of these
proposals will be adopted or, if adopted, how these proposals would affect the
Company.
