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

The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition at September
30, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996, and the results of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996. These comments should be read in conjunction
with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying
footnotes appearing in this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net interest income increased
$863,434, or 23.21%, over the nine months ended September 30, 1996. For the
quarter ended September 30, 1997, net interest income increased $296,042, or
23.19%, over the third quarter of 1996.

The improvement in both the nine and three-month periods ended September 30,
1997, is related to an increase in the volume of interest earning assets and an
increase in the rates on interest earning assets due to an increase in the
percentage of loans to total earning assets. For the nine months ended September
30, 1997, average loans comprised 70% of earning assets compared to 61% for the
same period of 1996. The improvement in net interest income is partially offset
by the increase in the rates paid on interest-bearing liability accounts due to
a $20,015,558 increase in the average volume for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in
the volume of both assets and liabilities is attributable to management's
ability to strengthen its influence in the Company's market area and the
Company's emphasis on growth.

Interest expense on liability accounts increased 23.85% and 25.36% for the nine
months and for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The increase was due mainly
to an increase in the volume of interest-bearing deposits over the comparable
periods in 1996 and the Company's increased use of borrowings from the Federal
Home Loan Bank as a funding source. Interest expense on deposits for the nine
months and quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $3,274,004 and $1,253,651,
respectively, compared to $2,723,957 and $948,650 for the comparable periods of
1996.

The influence of the factors above had the effect of increasing the interest
rate spread 25 basis points to 4.02% and increasing the net yield on earning
assets 17 basis point to 4.62% for the nine month period ended September 30,
1997. The factors above also had the effect of increasing, for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997, the interest rate spread approximately 16 basis points to
3.95% and increasing the net yield on earning assets 13 basis points to 4.56%
when compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that
management feels is necessary to maintain the allowance for possible loan losses
at an adequate level. For the nine months and the quarter ended September 30,
1997, the provision was $292,000 and $114,000, an increase of $157,000 and
$69,000, respectively, from the comparable 1996 periods. The increase in the
provision for loan losses is due to the growth in the loan portfolio,
particularly commercial loans. Management believes the allowance for loan losses
is adequate at September 30, 1997 to meet presently known and inherent risks in

NONINTEREST INCOME

Total noninterest income during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$1,283,974, an increase of $319,664, or 33.15%, from the comparable period in
1996. For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, total noninterest income was
$505,205, an increase of $195,977 or 63.38% from the comparable quarter of 1996.

The Company purchased additional Federal Home Loan Bank stock during 1997 in
order to meet the borrowing requirements of the Federal Home Loan Bank resulting
in an increase in dividend income. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company
began charging customers of other banks for use of its ATM's which generated
approximately $49,320 of fee income for the nine months ended September 30,
1997. Due to the continued growth of the discount brokerage department, fees
from sales increased to $121,732 and $50,268 for the nine-month and three-month
periods ended September 30, 1997 from $75,175 and $25,521 for the comparable
periods of 1996.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$4,236,423, an increase of 14.25% compared to the nine months ended September
30, 1996. For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, noninterest expense was
$1,491,757, an increase of $190,951 when compared to noninterest expense of
$1,300,806 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.

The increase in noninterest expense is attributable mainly to the continuing
growth of the Company. The primary component of noninterest expense is salaries
and benefits which increased $289,581 to $2,387,549 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 when compared to 1996. For the quarter ended September 30,
1997, salaries and employee benefits were $849,417, an increase of $145,491 when
compared to the same period of 1996. The increases were due to the hiring of new
employees to staff the new branch in Florence and to the hiring of several
experienced loan officers from larger regional banks to generate loan business.

INCOME TAXES

The income tax provision for the nine months and quarter ended September 30,
1997, was $390,178 and $118,156, compared to $202,000 and $58,000 for the
comparable 1996 periods, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30,
1997, the effective income tax rate was approximately 29% compared to 24% for
the same period in 1996. The increase is partially due to a decrease in
tax-exempt income as a percentage of income before income taxes.

NET INCOME

The combination of the above factors resulted in net income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 of $949,256 or $.94 per share as compared to $639,743
or $.64 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. For the quarter
ended September 30, 1997, net income was $354,147 or $.35 per share as compared
to $182,235 or $.18 per share for the comparable period in 1996.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

During the first nine months of 1997, total assets grew $20,763,381, or 15.50%
when compared to December 31, 1996. The major percentage of the growth was
attributable to the growth in loans which increased 24.07% to 100,403,814 as of
September 30, 1997 from $80,922,947 as of December 31, 1996. The increase in
total assets was substantially funded by the $22,398,222 increase in
interest-bearing deposit

accounts and the $5,000,000 increase in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank, all having maturities of one year or less.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment securities have decreased $6,130,713 since December 31, 1996, which
is in accordance with management's efforts to shift investable funds to loans,
which traditionally have higher yields.

LOANS

In order to improve earnings and shift investable funds to loans, the Board of
Directors has recommended an increase in the loan-to-deposit ratio to 85% from
80%. The loan-to-deposit ratio at September 30, 1997 was 77.84%. Additionally,
management has emphasized its commitment to loan growth and the recommendations
of the Board by hiring several experienced loan officers within the past year.

Management believes that commercial loan demand will remain strong in Horry and
Florence Counties for the foreseeable future. Construction and tourism
activities are increasing in the Horry County market. Balances within the major
loan receivable categories as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 are as
follows:

The tobacco industry, in negotiations with state attorney generals, has agreed
to major regulatory concessions. Tobacco companies have agreed to pay
approximately $370 billion over the next 25 years for public health efforts and
will submit to nicotine regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The
settlement also imposes new restrictions on advertising by tobacco companies.

RISK ELEMENTS IN THE LOAN PORTFOLIO - CONTINUED

Although the Company's geographic marketplace is largely rural and has tobacco
farmers, management does not believe the settlement by the tobacco industry will
have a direct material effect on the Company's loan portfolio because
agricultural lending has been limited. The agreement could have an indirect
impact if the local economy is adversely affected.

Under Comptroller of the Currency guidelines, "a concentration of credit
consists of direct, indirect, or contingent obligations exceeding 25% of a
bank's capital structure." Under this definition, the Company's banking
subsidiary has a concentration of credit in both the hotel/motel and golf course
industries. Loans in the hotel/motel industry represent approximately 75% of the
Bank's capital structure and 9.29% of gross loans outstanding. Loans in the golf
course industry represent approximately 34% of the Bank's capital structure and
4.18% of gross loans outstanding.

During 1996, the Company implemented a credit program in which it advances money
to small businesses based on the outstanding accounts receivable of the business
("Business Manager"). Payments on the receivables are collected directly by the
Bank. Per the credit agreements, the respective businesses are required to
reduce the outstanding balances based on the aging of the receivables. As of
September 30, 1997, total advances under this program totaled $1,775,950.

During the previous quarter, the Company became aware of one Business Manager
account that was not being collected as agreed. The business was not financially
able to reduce its loan commitment as the receivables became increasingly past
due leaving the Company with an exposure of $791,000. In July, the Company
restructured the loan into a $850,000 promissory note with a one year maturity,
monthly interest payments, and a principal reduction to $700,000 in 120 days.
Additionally, a financial guarantee surety bond was issued for $850,000 in favor
of the Bank to secure the note. The surety bond was issued by a private surety
and asset management firm with which the Company had no previous experience or
knowledge. The Company believes that its position has been strengthened by the
surety bond but recognizes that this loan will require continual monitoring and
attention. As of September 30, 1997, the Company has provided a specific
allocation of $250,000 for loss exposure. This loan has been rated sub-standard
by the Company and was placed on non-accrual status in July 1997.

Activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses is as follows:

</TABLE>

LIQUIDITY

Funding loans and deposit withdrawals utilizes the Company's liquidity. The
level of liquidity is measured by the loan-to-total borrowed funds ratio, which
was 71.26% at September 30, 1997 and 65.73% at December 31, 1996. Liquidity
needs are met by the Company through scheduled maturities of loans and
investments, borrowings, and through pricing policies for interest-bearing
deposit accounts. Management believes the Company's liquidity is adequate to
meet the expected strong loan demand in its marketplace.

The Company has a $20,000,000 line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta. As of September 30, 1997, the Company has borrowed $10,000,000 on this
line of credit with scheduled maturities of one year or less. The Company also
has $9,500,000 of unused lines of credit with correspondent banks to purchase
federal funds. As a secondary source of liquidity, the Company has securities
available- for-sale with a carrying value of $29,262,948 as of September 30,
1997.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Total shareholders' equity increased $937,083 to $11,758,795 since December 31,
1996. The increase is due to earnings for the period of $949,256 less dividends
paid of $117,380 plus a positive net change of $105,208 in the fair value of
securities available-for-sale.

The Bank subsidiary is required by banking regulators to meet certain minimum
levels of capital adequacy. These 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 Bank'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. The Bank is required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier I capital
to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%.

CAPITAL RESOURCES - CONTINUED

The Federal Reserve Board has similar requirements for bank holding companies
with consolidated assets $150,000,000 and over. During the quarter, the Company
reached $150,000,000 and became subject to the Federal Reserve Board
requirements.

The following table summarizes the Company's risk-based capital at September 30,
1997:


Risk based capital ratios                 Company                    Bank

REGULATORY MATTERS

The management of the Company is not aware of any current recommendations by
regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a
material effect on liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

ACCOUNTING RULE CHANGES

During the first quarter of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which addresses the computation,
presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per share by entities
with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. Statement No. 128 is
effective for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.
Earlier application is not permitted.
