                                       (Unaudited)

 NOTE 1:   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

           The accompanying consolidated financial statements are
           unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments
           (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which
           are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
           statement of the financial position and operating results of
           Anchor Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries for the
           periods presented. A summary of the Corporation's significant
           accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 to the
           Consolidated Financial Statements in the Corporation's Annual
           Report on Form 10-K for 1994.

           The results of operations for the three month period ended
           March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results
           to be expected for the full year.

           For purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the
           Corporation has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash on
           hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold.
           Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day
           periods.


 NOTE 2:   RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES

           Transactions to the reserve for loan losses for the three
           months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 are summarized as
           follows:

NOTE 3:    NONPERFORMING ASSETS

           The following is a summary of nonperforming assets at March
           31, 1995 and 1994. The income effect of interest foregone on
           these assets is not material.  The Corporation did not have
           any loans with reduced interest rates because of troubled
           debt restructuring, foreign loans, or loans for highly
           leveraged transactions.  Management is not aware of any
           situation, other than those included in the summary below,
           where known information about a borrower would require
           disclosure as a potential problem loan.

NOTE 5: PER SHARE DATA

          Earnings per share are computed by dividing net income for
          each period by the weighted average number of shares
          outstanding during each period.  The effect of outstanding
          stock options is not material to the weighted average number
          of common shares outstanding or earnings per share and has not
          been included in the calculation.


NOTE 6: OTHER MATTERS

          At March 31, 1995, outstanding standby letters of credit
          totalled $660,250.

          At March 31, 1995 and 1994, the Corporation paid
          interest of $2,712,339 and $1,864,232, respectively.  The
          Corporation received refunds of income taxes totalling
          $123,898 during the first quarter of 1995 and paid income
          taxes of $144,814 during the same period in 1994.

                        Management's Discussion and Analysis


Net Income

    Net income for the first quarter of 1995 was $843,750, an increase
of $207,699 or 32.7% from the $636,051 for the same period in 1994.  Net
income per share for the first quarter increased 32.3% from $0.50 in
1994 to $0.66 in 1995.

    The primary factor affecting this increase was an increase of
$841,538 in net interest income.  These positive factors were partially
offset by a decrease of $96,863 in noninterest income and increases in
noninterest expense of $288,077, the provision for loan losses of
$84,500 and the provision for income taxes of $164,399.

    Annualized return on average total assets for the first quarter of
1995 was 0.97% compared with 0.86% in 1994.  Annualized return on
average stockholders' equity for the first quarter of 1995 was 12.74%
compared with 10.75% in 1994.


Net Interest Income

    Net interest income, the major component of the Corporation's net
income, was $3,916,439 for the first quarter of 1995, an increase of
$841,538 or 27.4% from the $3,074,901 reported for the same period in
1994.  This increase was primarily attributable to the increased volume
of earning assets during the period and an increase in the tax
equivalent net yield on earning assets from 4.63% in 1994 to 4.95% in
1995.  The increased volume of earning assets was primarily the result
of quality loan demand and strong deposit growth.

    Interest income increased $1,925,365 or 38.7% for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 compared with the same period in 1994.  The
increase was due to an increase in the volume of earning assets and the
yield on earning assets which increased from 7.47% in 1994 to 8.70% in
1995.  Average loans increased $31.9 million or 15.1% and average
investment securities increased $18.7 million or 32.1% for the first
quarter of 1995 compared with the same period in 1994.  Average interest
earning assets represented 91.8% of average total assets during the
first quarter of 1995 compared with 90.0% in 1994.  The composition of
average interest-earning assets changed slightly as the percentage of
average loans to average interest-earning assets decreased from 77.7% in
1994 to 75.3% in 1995.

    Interest expense increased $1,083,827 or 57.1% for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 compared with the same period in 1994.  The
increase in interest expense was due to an increase in the volume of
average interest-bearing liabilities and the rate paid on these funds
during the period.  Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $40.1
million or 17.3% for the first quarter of 1995 compared with the same
period in 1994.  The rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities
increased from 3.32% for the three months ended March 31, 1994 to 4.45%
in 1995.  Average interest-bearing liabilities represented 84.3% of
funding sources during the first quarter of 1995 compared with 85.4% in
1994.

Provision for Loan Losses

    A $134,500 provision for loan losses was made during the first
quarter of 1995 compared with a provision of $50,000 in 1994.  The
provision for loan losses was higher during the first quarter of 1995
primarily due to loan growth and a slight increase in the level of net
charge-offs.

    At March 31, 1995 and 1994 the ratio of annualized net charge-offs
to average loans was 0.12% and (0.01%), respectively.  The ratio of
nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate owned was
0.51% at March 31, 1995 compared with 0.33% at March 31, 1994.

    The reserve for loan losses at March 31, 1995 represented 1.14% of
total loans outstanding compared with 1.18% at December 31, 1994.  Based
on the current evaluation of the loan portfolio, management believes the
reserve at March 31 is adequate to cover potential losses in the
portfolio.


Noninterest Income

    Noninterest income for the first quarter of 1995 decreased $96,863
or 12.6% from the same period in 1994.  The primary reason for this
decrease was a decline in gains on sales of mortgage loans of $103,373
or 68.1% primarily due to lower refinancing activity during 1995.  Also,
service charges on deposit accounts decreased $19,346 or 5.0%.


Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 1995 increased $288,077
or 10.1% from the same period in 1994.  This increase was primarily the
result of increased salaries and employee benefits caused by the
significant growth of the Corporation during the last year.  Also, the
FDIC insurance assessment increased $17,925 or 11.4% from the first
three months of 1994 to $174,899.

Income Taxes

    The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 1995
increased $164,399 or 55.3% from the same period in 1994.  The provision
for income taxes increased primarily due to significantly higher income
before taxes since tax rates remained approximately the same as 1994.

Financial Position

    For the first quarter of 1995, average total assets increased 16.5%
while average deposits increased 16.8% from the first quarter of 1994.

    Due to the seasonal nature of the Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head
Island market areas, deposit growth is strong during the summer months
and loan demand usually reaches its peak during the winter months.
Thus, the Corporation historically has a more favorable liquidity
position during the summer months.  To meet loan demand and liquidity
needs during the winter months, the Corporation typically invests
sizable amounts of its deposit growth during the summer months in
temporary investments and short-term securities maturing in the winter
months.  Additionally, the Corporation has access to other funding
sources including federal funds purchased from

                                      8
<PAGE>

correspondent banks, a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank, and 
a seasonal borrowing privilege from the Federal Reserve Bank.

    The Corporation continues to have a strong capital position by
industry standards with the ratio of average stockholders' equity to
average total assets for the first three months of 1995 being 7.6%
versus 8.0% for the same period in 1994.  At March 31, 1995, the total
risk-based capital ratio was 13.1% compared with 13.5% at December 31,
1994.  The leverage ratio at March 31, 1995 was 7.0% compared with 6.9%
at December 31, 1994.
