                                (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, 2000 and for the interim periods ended June
30, 2000 and 1999 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, 1999 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 RHBT
Financial Corporation's 1999 Annual Report.

Note 2 - Merger with Ridgeway Bancshares, Inc.
----------------------------------------------

On June 28, 2000, RHBT Financial Corporation (the Company) announced that it
signed a letter of intent to acquire Ridgeway Bancshares, Inc. and its
subsidiary, the Bank of Ridgeway. The Bank of Ridgeway is South Carolina's
oldest banking organization with approximately 67.5 million in total assets. The
Bank of Ridgeway will continue to operate as a separate bank, wholly owned by
the Company. Under the agreement, the Company will exchange 26.355 shares of its
common stock for each outstanding share of Ridgeway Bancshares, Inc. common
stock. Following the proposed merger, the Company will have 2,775,138 total
shares outstanding of its common stock. The merger will be accounted for under
the pooling of interests method of accounting. The merger is expected to be

periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the related condensed consolidated
statement of changes in shareholders' equity and comprehensive income for the
six month period ended June 30, 2000, and the related condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and, in our report dated January 21, 2000, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 1999, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999, and the results of operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the three and six months
ended June 30, 1999. These comments should be read in conjunction with the
Company's condensed 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. The
Company's actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements, and the Company's operating performance each quarter
is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in
the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations
---------------------

Net Interest Income
-------------------

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net interest income increased
$1,221,268, or 53.94%, to $3,485,232 as compared to $2,263,964 for the same
period in 1999. The net interest margin realized on earning assets increased
from 3.97% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to 4.30% for the same period
in 2000. The interest rate spread also increased by 23 basis points from 3.03%
at June 30, 1999 to 3.26% at June 30, 2000.

Net interest income increased from $1,254,565 for the quarter ending June 30,
1999 to $1,808,240 for the quarter ending June 30, 2000. This represents an
increase of $553,675, or 44.13%. The net interest margin realized on earning
assets increased from 4.16% for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to 4.37% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000. The interest rate spread also increased by 53 basis
points from 3.05% at June 30, 1999 to 3.58% at June 30, 2000.

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, 2000, the
provision charged to expense was $289,000. This increase of $102,000 from the
comparable period in 1999 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, 2000 and 1999, the provision charged to expense was
$125,000 and $106,000, 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
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.

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

Noninterest Income
------------------

Noninterest income during the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $422,056, an
increase of $190,291 from $231,765 during the comparable period in 1999. The
increase is primarily a result of an increase in income from fiduciary
activities from $82,604 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $174,616 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000. In addition, service charges on deposit
accounts resulted in income of $154,574 during the six months ended June 30,
2000, compared to $93,030 during the comparable period in 1999. This was due to
an overall increase in deposit accounts over the two periods.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, noninterest income increased $85,839, or
64.30%, from $133,488 for the same period in 1999. This increase is primarily
due to income from fiduciary activities, which increased $42,705, or 81.40%,
from the quarter ended June 30, 1999. Service charges on deposit accounts also
increased from $51,635 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $78,715 for the
quarter ended June 30, 2000. This was due to an overall increase in deposit
accounts over the two periods.

Noninterest Expense
-------------------

Total noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $1,948,982
or 47.10% higher than the $1,324,937 amount for the six months ended June 30,
1999. The largest increase was in other operating expenses, which increased from
$519,373 at June 30, 1999 to $816,559 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
Other operating expenses increased in most all areas as a result of the growth
of the Company, including the opening of the Fort Mill/Tega Cay office, which
opened on September 21, 1999. One such increase was in data processing charges,
which increased from $90,401 for the six months ended June 30, 199 to $151,898
for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Salaries and employee benefits also
increased $230,613, or 40.90%, to $794,423 for the six months ended June 30,
2000. This increase is attributable to normal pay increases and additional
personnel hired to staff the Fort Mill/Tega Cay office.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, noninterest expense increased $331,786, or
47.49%, over the same period in 1999. The largest increase between the quarters
ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999 was in other operating expense, which
increased $154,687, or 55.86%. Salaries and employee benefits also increased
from $302,583 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 to $430,988 for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000. Salaries and employee benefits increased for the quarter
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to June 30, 1999 for the same reasons discussed
above.

Income Taxes
------------

The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $617,596 as
compared to $364,058 for the same period in 1999. The effective tax rate was 37%
at June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999. The effective tax rate was 37% for the
quarters ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999.

Net Income
----------

The combination of the above factors resulted in net income for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 of $1,051,710 as compared to $619,734 for the same period in
1999. This represents an increase of $431,976 over the same period in 1999. For
the quarter ended June 30, 2000, net income was $549,749 or $182,388 higher than
$367,361 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This increase reflects the
Company's continued growth, as average-earning assets increased from
$113,989,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $162,211,000, for the six
months ended June 30, 2000.

Assets and Liabilities
----------------------

During the first six months of 2000, total assets increased $33,581,144, or
22.47%, when compared to December 31, 1999. The primary source of growth in
assets was loans, which increased $23,755,189 during the first six months of
2000. Federal funds sold and repurchase agreements increased $11,425,000 from
December 31, 1999 to $27,850,000 at June 30, 2000. Total deposits also increased
$44,151,676, or 40.95%, from the December 31, 1999 amount of $107,826,073.
Within the deposit area, certificates of deposit increased $33,378,799, or
53.68%, during the first six months of 2000. Federal funds purchased of
$5,000,000 that were obtained for Year 2000 concerns at December 31, 1999, were
repaid by June 30, 2000. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased from
$10,000,000 at December 31, 1999 to $7,000,000 at June 30, 2000.

Investment Securities
---------------------

Investment securities decreased slightly from $7,832,559 at December 31, 1999 to
$7,138,754 at June 30, 2000. The decrease can be attributed to the maturing of
five securities during the first six months of the year. The funds from the
securities were invested in higher yielding loans. All of the Company's
investment securities were designated as available-for-sale at June 30, 2000.

Loans
-----

The Company continued its trend of growth during the first six months of 2000,
especially in the loan area. Net loans increased $23,487,827, or 19.99%, during
the period. As shown below, the main component of growth in the loan portfolio
was commercial and industrial loans, which increased 50.74%, or $25,149,951,
from December 31, 1999. Commercial and industrial loans include discounted
accounts receivable loans that totaled $11,957,437 at June 30, 2000. This
represents an increase of $1,864,543 or 18.47%, when compared to December
31,1999. Also, real estate - construction loans increased $1,257,929, or 23.21%

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 86.8% at June 30, 2000 and
89.9% at December 31, 1999.

Securities available-for-sale, which totaled $7,138,754 at June 30, 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 seven
days. At June 30, 2000, unused lines of credit totaled $22,600,000.

Capital Resources
-----------------

Total shareholders' equity increased from $16,913,454 at December 31, 1999 to
$17,958,356 at June 30, 2000. The increase is due to net income for the period
of $1,051,710, partially offset by a negative change of $6,808 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 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.

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.
