                           RHBT FINANCIAL CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and,
accordingly, they are condensed and omit disclosures which would substantially
duplicate those contained in the most recent annual report to shareholders. The
financial statements as of June 30, 1999 and for the interim periods ended June
30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation. The financial information as of December 31, 1998 has been
derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and the notes included in Rock
Hill Bank & Trust's 1998 Annual Report.


NOTE 2 - REORGANIZATION OF ROCK HILL BANK & TRUST

On April 15, 1999, the stockholders of Rock Hill Bank & Trust (the Bank)
approved a plan of corporate reorganization under which Rock Hill Bank & Trust
became a wholly owned subsidiary of RHBT Financial Corporation (the Company),
which was organized at the direction of the Bank's management. The original
authorized common stock of RHBT Financial Corporation is 10,000,000 shares with
a par value of $.01 per share. Pursuant to the reorganization, the Company
issued 1,376,250 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the 1,376,250
outstanding common shares of the Bank. The effective date of the reorganization
was June 4, 1999 and was accounted for as if it were a pooling of interests. As
a result, the financial statements for the period ended June 30, 1999 are
presented as if the reorganization had occurred on January 1, 1999. The
accompanying financial statements for the periods ended in 1998 are unchanged
from the amounts previously reported by Rock Hill Bank & Trust.


NOTE 3 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On July 16, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors declared a five-for-four
stock split effected in the form of a 25% stock dividend payable on September
10, 1999 to shareholders of record on August 1, 1999. This resulted in the
issuance of 344,063 additional shares of common stock.

All per share and weighted average share amounts in the accompanying financial
statements have been restated to reflect this stock split.


NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTIONS

At the annual shareholders' meeting on April 15, 1999, the shareholders approved
the Company's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan which provides for the granting of
awards of stock options and restricted stock of up to 247,725 shares, adjusted
for stock dividends of the Company's common stock, to officers, employees,
directors, and advisers and consultants of the Company. The Company may grant
awards for a term of up to ten years from the effective date of grant. The
per-share exercise price will be determined by the Board of Directors, but for
incentive stock options the price will not be less than 100% of the fair market
value of a share of common stock on the date the option is granted. The
per-share exercise price of non-incentive stock options will not be less than
85% of the fair market value of a share on the effective date of grant.

On February 19, 1999, the Company granted 184,375 options, adjusted for stock
dividends, pursuant to the terms of the Company's 1999 Stock Incentive Plan.
These options each have a seven year vesting term, vesting 20% upon the date of
grant and 80% ratably over the remainder of the term. The options are
exercisable at a price of $12.40 per share and expire February 19, 2006.

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

The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition as of June
30, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998, and the results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998. 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 six months ended June 30, 1999, net interest income increased
$1,164,353, or 105.9%, to $2,263,964 as compared to $1,099,611 for the same
period in 1998. The net interest margin realized on earning assets increased
from 3.49% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to 3.97% for the same period
in 1999. The interest rate spread also increased by 13 basis points from 2.90%
at June 30, 1998 to 3.03% at June 30, 1999.

Net interest income increased from $578,557 for the quarter ending June 30, 1998
to $1,254,565 for the quarter ending June 30, 1999. This represents an increase
of $676,008, or 116.8%. The net interest margin realized on earning assets
increased from 3.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to 4.16% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999. The interest rate spread also increased by 30 basis
points from 2.75% at June 30, 1998 to 3.05% at June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 1999, the
provision charged to expense was $187,000. This increase of $66,984 from the
comparable period in 1998 is a result of management's efforts to increase the
allowance for loan losses to match the growth in the loan portfolio. For the
quarter ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the provision charged to expense was
$106,000 and $60,000, respectively. 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
judgement 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.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income during the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $231,765, an
increase of $108,517 from $123,248 during the comparable period in 1998. The
increase is primarily a result of an increase in service charges from $66,500 at
June 30, 1998 to $93,030 at June 30, 1999. In addition, the Bank's trust
department continued to grow, resulting in income of $82,604 during the six
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $24,879 during the comparable period in
1998.

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

NONINTEREST INCOME -- continued

For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, noninterest income increased $67,479, or
102.2%, from $66,009 for the same period in 1998. This increase is primarily due
to income from fiduciary activities which increased $37,585, or 252.6%, from the
quarter ended June 30, 1998. Service charges also increased from $33,563 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1998 to $51,635 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $1,324,937,
or 89.5% higher than the $699,351 amount for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
The largest increase was in other operating expenses, which increased from
$248,605 at June 30, 1998 to $566,345 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
This increase can be attributed to expenses associated with the formation of the
holding company as well as the continuing growth of the bank. Salaries and
employee benefits also increased $255,774 to $563,810 at June 30, 1999. This
increase is attributable to normal pay increases, personnel hired in late 1998
to staff the Ebenezer office, and the additional personnel hired to staff the
Fort Mill/Tega Cay office which is scheduled to open in the third quarter of
this year.

For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, noninterest expense increased $328,422, or
88.7%, over the same period in 1998. The largest increase between the quarters
ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998 was in other operating expense which
increased $167,151, or 129.7%. Expenses of $29,572 associated with the formation
of the holding company were included in other operating expenses for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999. Salaries and employee benefits also increased from $170,087
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 to $302,583 at June 30, 1999. Salaries
increased for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 as compared to June 30, 1998 for
the same reasons discussed above.

INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $364,058 as
compared to $149,000 for the same period in 1998. The effective tax rates were
37% and 36.9% at June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, respectively. The effective
tax rates were 37% and 36.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and June 30,
1998, respectively.

NET INCOME

The combination of the above factors resulted in net income for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 of $619,734 as compared to $254,492 for the same period in
1998. This represents an increase of $365,242 over the same period in 1998. For
the quarter ended June 30, 1999, net income was $367,361, or $232,007 higher
than $135,354 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. This increase reflects the
Company's continued growth, as average earning assets increased from $66,078,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $119,629,000, for the six months ended
June 30, 1999.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

During the first six months of 1999, total assets increased $26,078,318, or
24.4%, when compared to December 31, 1998. The primary source of growth in
assets was in loans which increased $22,169,488 during the first six months of
1999. Federal funds sold and repurchase agreements increased $905,000 from
December 31, 1998 to $25,410,000 at June 30, 1999. Total deposits increased
$25,372,463, or 32.6%, from the December 31, 1998 amount of $77,739,725. Within
the deposit area, certificates of deposit increased $12,346,771, or 27.3%,
during the first six months of 1999. Securities sold under agreements to
repurchase increased $205,000 to $13,455,000 at June 30, 1999.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment securities increased from $7,414,072 at December 31, 1998 to
$8,848,892 at June 30, 1999. All of the Company's investment securities were
designated as available-for-sale at June 30, 1999.

LOANS

The Company continued its trend of significant growth during the first six
months of 1999, especially in the loan area. Net loans increased $21,987,980, or
31.8%, during the period. As noted below, the main component of growth in the
loan portfolio was in real estate loans, which increased $14,127,234, or 36%.

DEPOSITS

At June 30, 1999, total deposits increased by $25,372,463, or 32.6%, from
December 31, 1998. The largest increase was in noninterest bearing deposits
which increased $13,001,918, from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 1999. Expressed
in percentages, noninterest bearing deposits increased 211.1% and interest
bearing deposits increased 17.3%.

Balances within the major deposit categories as of June 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998 are as follows:

                                                =============   ==============

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. The level of liquidity is measured by the
loan-to-total borrowed funds ratio which was at 79.1% at June 30, 1999 and 76.9%
at December 31, 1998.

Securities available-for-sale, which totaled $8,848,892 at June 30, 1999, 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 seven
days. At June 30, 1999, unused lines of credit totaled $2,750,000.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders' equity increased from $15,577,946 at December 31, 1998 to
$16,144,335 at June 30, 1999. The increase of $566,389 is primarily attributable
to net income for the period of $619,734, partially offset by a negative change
of $53,344 in the fair value of securities available-for-sale.

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 I capital (essentially common shareholders' equity less intangible
assets) and Tier II 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 I capital to
risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.0% and the ratio of total capital (Tier
I 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 I
capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%.

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. For example, the United States House of
Representatives recently passed House Bill 10, the Financial Services Act of
1999, which, if enacted into law, would make substantial changes to the
regulation of banks and other companies within the United States 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.

YEAR 2000

Like many financial institutions, the Company relies upon computers for the
daily conduct of its business and for information systems processing. There is
concern among industry experts that on January 1, 2000 computers will be unable
to "read" the new year, which may result in widespread computer malfunctions.
While the Company believes that it has available resources and has adopted a
plan to address Year 2000 compliance, it is largely dependent on its outside
core data processing provider, and other third party vendors. The Company's
current outside data processing provider is M.S. Bailey & Son, Bankers, which
was acquired by Anchor Financial Corporation in April 1999. On May 13, 1999, the
Company signed a five year contract with Electronic Data Systems Corporation
(EDS) to provide core data processing to the Company. The conversion of data to
EDS is expected to occur on September 13, 1999. The Company also signed a
contract with Fiserv Solutions, Inc. (Fiserv) to provide proof operations in
conjunction with EDS. Both EDS and Fiserv have completed the testing of their
systems and have represented that they are Year 2000 compliant. The Company has
incurred approximately $190,000 in expenses to upgrade its computer systems to
become Year 2000 compliant. This includes approximately $132,000 for the
installation of a new on-line system for the Company's existing office and
$53,000 as part of the cost of the installation of the systems in the Company's
new Ebenezer Office. As of June 30, 1999, the installation of the new on-line
system was complete at the Main Office and the Ebenezer Office.

YEAR 2000 -- continued

The Company anticipates that any other costs to upgrade other ancillary systems
will not materially differ from normal costs incurred during prior years to
upgrade and maintain its computer systems. The Company has completed an
evaluation of all its internal systems and software and the network connections
it maintains, and it may incur minimal additional costs. The Company has
obtained assurances about the Year 2000 compliance with respect to the other
third party hardware and software systems it uses, and the Company believes that
its internal systems and software and the network connections it maintains will
be adequately programmed to address the Year 2000 issue. The Company has
completed testing all ancillary systems, such as telephone systems and security
devices, as of June 30, 1999. Testing of the ATMs was also completed as of June
30, 1999. There can be no assurances that all hardware and software that the
Company uses will be Year 2000 compliant, and the Company cannot predict with
any certainty the costs it will incur to respond to any Year 2000 issues.
Factors which may affect the amount of these costs include the Company's
inability to control third party modification plans, the Company's ability to
identify and correct all relevant computer codes, the availability and cost of
engaging personnel trained in solving Year 2000 issues, and other similar
uncertainties.

The Company believes that the largest Year 2000 Problem exposure to most
financial institutions is the preparedness of their customers. The Company is
addressing with its customers the possible consequences of not being prepared
for Year 2000. Should large borrowers not sufficiently address this issue, the
Company may experience an increase in loan defaults. The amount of potential
loss from this issue is not quantifiable. The Company is attempting to reduce
this exposure by educating its customers. The Company has implemented a
comprehensive Year 2000 credit review policy for all existing loans that exceed
$100,000 as well as an underwriting policy for all new loan requests. At
present, the Company's review indicates that the Company's exposure to credit
risks associated with Year 2000 is considered to be low. The Company's credit
review procedures will continue to include these policies throughout 1999.

The Company adopted a Contingency Plan on July 23, 1998 for Year 2000. The
Contingency Plan covers several critical areas that would require an alternative
method of operation such as: the primary software and hardware used in
processing loans, deposits and the general ledger, use of the Federal Reserve's
wire system, ATM machines, and the loan processing system.

The Company expects to identify and resolve all Year 2000 Problems that could
materially adversely affect its business. However, the Company believes that it
is not possible to determine with complete certainty that all Year 2000 Problems
affecting it have been identified or corrected. The number of devices that could
be affected and the interactions among these devices are simply too numerous. In
addition, the Company cannot accurately predict how many failures related to the
Year 2000 Problem will occur with its suppliers, customers, or other third
parties or the severity, duration, or financial consequences of such failures.

As a result, the Company expects that it could possibly suffer the following
consequences:

   o  A number of operational inconveniences and inefficiencies for the Company,
      its service providers, or its customers that may divert the Company's time
      and attention and financial and human resources from its ordinary business
      activities; and

   o  System malfunctions that may require significant efforts by the Company or
      its service providers or customers to prevent or alleviate material
      business disruptions.

Additionally, there may be a higher than usual demand for liquidity immediately
prior to the century change due to deposit withdrawals by customers concerned
about Year 2000 issues. To address this possible demand, the Company has secured
additional lines of credit with several correspondent banks.

ITEM 6. EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

       (a)   Exhibits

             27. Financial Data Schedule

       (b)   The  Company  filed a report  on Form 8-K on June 3,  1999.  This
             Form 8-K was filed for the purpose of  including  in the files of
             the Securities and Exchange  Commission the annual report on Form
             10-KSB for the year ended  December  31, 1998 and the Form 10-QSB
             for the quarter  ended March 31,  1999  previously  filed by Rock
             Hill Bank & Trust with the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation
             so that such  documents  may be  incorporated  by reference  into
             filings  with  the   Commission   as  filings  of  a  predecessor
             registrant to RHBT Financial Corporation.

             The Form 8-K also reported that RHBT Financial Corporation
             announced that its Board of Directors approved a 5-for-4 stock
             split of its common stock in the form of a 25 percent stock
             dividend which is payable on September 10, 1999 to shareholders of
             record on August 1, 1999. These shareholders will receive one
             additional share of common stock for each four shares of common
             stock they hold on the record date. In lieu of fractional shares,
             each shareholder will be paid a cash equivalent based on the
             average closing price of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board
             on August 1, 1999.

             Items 1, 3 and 5 are not applicable.
