At ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no investment securities that had been in a loss position for twelve months or more. ~~However, during~~

During the first quarter of ~~2013 management determined that the Company’s equity investment of $100,000~~ in a local community bank was other-than-temporarily impaired. Based on industry analyst reports and market trading prices, it was determined that the estimated fair market value of this investment was $~~30,000. Consequently, an impairment loss of $70,000~~ was recognized. While the Company does not intend to sell this security in the near future, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell it, there is no assurance that the carrying value of this security will be realized in the future.

~~During the first nine months of 2013 and 2012,~~2014, gross proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $~~712,248~~$5,295,529, resulting in realized gross gains of $39,110 and $~~25,677,784, respectively.

The Company identifies impaired loans through its normal internal loan review process. Loans on the Company’s problem loan watch list are considered potentially impaired loans. These loans are evaluated in determining whether all outstanding principal and interest are expected to be collected. Loans are not considered impaired if a minimal delay occurs and all amounts due, including accrued interest at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay, are expected to be collected.

The following summarizes the Company’s impaired loans as of~~September 30, 2013.~~

Included in the loan portfolio are particular loans that have been modified in order to maximize the collection of loan balances. If, for economic or legal reasons related to the customer’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession compared to the original terms and conditions on the loan, the modified loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). Concessions can relate to the contractual interest rate, maturity date or payment structure of the note. As part of our workout plan for individual loan relationships, we may restructure loan terms to assist borrowers facing financial challenges in the current economic environment.

All loans modified in TDRs are evaluated for impairment. The nature and extent of impairment of TDRs, including those which have experienced a subsequent default, are considered in determining an appropriate level of allowance for credit losses.

Credit Indicators

Loans are categorized into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, ~~including:~~including, among other factors: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic ~~trends, among other factors.~~trends. The following definitions are utilized for risk ratings, which are consistent with the definitions used in supervisory guidance:

Special Mention -Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.

Substandard -Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful -Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

The Company enters into financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. A commitment involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to the instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the instrument. Since certain commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee a customer’s performance to a third party and have essentially the same credit risk as other lending facilities.

	~~-15-~~

Collateral held for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Preferred Stock -~~- Beginning~~On March 6, 2009, the Company completed a transaction with the ~~payment date of December 1, 2011,~~United States Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program, whereby the Company ~~deferred dividend payments on~~sold 15,349 shares of its ~~Fixed Rate~~Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock ~~Series A~~ (the “Series A Shares”)~~, and~~ to the Treasury. In addition, the Treasury received a warrant to purchase 767 shares of the Company’s Series B Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series B Shares”), which was immediately exercised for a nominal exercise price. The preferred shares issued to the Treasury qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes. On March 1, 2013, the Treasury auctioned the subject securities in a private transaction with unaffiliated third-party investors.

The Series A Preferred Stock is a senior cumulative perpetual preferred stock that has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per year (approximately $767,000 annually) for the first five years and beginning May 15, 2014, at a rate of 9% per year (approximately $1,381,000 annually). ~~Although~~Dividends are payable quarterly. At any time, the Company may, ~~defer dividend payments,~~at its option and with regulatory approval, redeem the ~~dividend~~Series A Preferred Stock at par value plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock is generally non-voting.

The Series B Preferred Stock is a cumulative ~~dividend~~perpetual preferred stock that has the same rights, preferences, privileges, voting rights and ~~failure~~other terms as the Series A Preferred Stock, except that dividends will be paid at the rate of 9% per year and may not be redeemed until all the Series A Preferred Stock has been redeemed. The Series A and Series B Preferred Shares will receive preferential treatment in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

The Company must request prior approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (the “Federal Reserve”) prior to ~~pay~~declaring or paying dividends on its common stock or preferred stock, or making scheduled interest payments on its trust-preferred securities. Such approval was not granted by the Federal Reserve for ~~six dividend periods triggered board appointment rights~~payment of the Company’s dividends and interest payments due and payable in the ten consecutive quarters ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, such approval was not granted for payments due in the ~~holder~~second quarter of ~~these shares.~~2014. Since the Company has not paid the dividend on its Series A and Series B ~~shares~~Shares for more than six consecutive quarterly periods, the holders of ~~the Company’s Series A and Series B~~these shares currently have the right to appoint up to two individuals to the Company’s board of directors. To date, the right to appoint directors has not been exercised by the holders.

As of March ~~1, 2013, the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), the initial holder of all15,349~~ ~~shares of the Series A Shares, and all~~ ~~767~~ ~~shares of the Series B Shares, announced that it had auctioned the securities~~31, 2014, dividends in ~~a private transaction with unaffiliated third-party investors. The Company received no proceeds from the transaction; however, it incurred $169,291~~ ~~of auction-related expenses which were charged against the~~ ~~initial proceeds from the sale of the preferred~~ ~~stock~~ ~~reflected in the~~ ~~accounts~~ ~~for each series of stock.~~ ~~The clearing prices for the Series A Shares and the Series B Shares were $679.61~~ ~~per share and $822.61, respectively. Both series have a liquidation preference of $1,000~~ ~~per share. The closing of the private sale occurred on March 11, 2013.~~

	~~-16-~~

~~The sale of the securities had no effect on their terms, including the Company’s obligation to satisfy accrued and unpaid dividends (aggregating approximately $1.7~~ ~~million) prior to payment of any dividend or other distribution to holders of pari pasu or junior stock and its common stock, and an increase in the dividend rate~~arrears on the Series A ~~Shares from~~ 5~~% to~~ 9~~% on May 15, 2014. Further, the sale of the securities~~ ~~by the Treasury is not expected to~~ ~~have any effect on the Company’s capital, financial condition or results of operations. However, the Company generally will not be subject to certain executive compensation~~ and ~~corporate governance requirements to which it was subject while Treasury held the securities.~~

~~On July 31, 2013(the “Mandatory Conversion Date”),2,293~~Series B shares ~~of the Company’s~~ totaled $2,091,200.

7~~% Cumulative Mandatorily Convertible Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Shares”) converted~~ ~~automatically~~ to ~~470,829~~ ~~shares of~~ ~~common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s articles of incorporation, as amended to create the Series C Shares. On the Mandatory Conversion Date, each~~Series C Share was automatically converted into the number of shares of common stock obtained by dividing the initial purchase price per share of $1,000, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends per share, by $5.563, which was the Company‘s tangible common equity per share as of June 30, 2013. A de minimis amount of cash was also paid to each holder of Series C Shares to avoid the issuance of fractional shares as result of the conversion.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The income tax benefit related to the Company's pretax loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was offset by the increase of an equal amount in the valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets. Likewise, the income tax expense related to the Company’s pretax income for the ~~three~~first quarters of 2014 and ~~nine months ended September 30, 2012~~2013 was offset by a reversal of an equal amount of the Company’s valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets. Therefore, no income tax provision was recorded for the ~~three~~first quarters of 2014 and ~~nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively.~~

2013.

Note 9 – Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) available to common shareholders represents net income (loss) adjusted for preferred dividends including dividends declared, accretions of discounts and amortization of premiums on preferred stock issuances and cumulative dividends related to the current dividend period that have not been declared as of period end. All potential dilutive common ~~share~~shares equivalents were deemed to be anti-dilutive for the ~~three and nine months~~quarter ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2013, due to the net loss available to common shareholders.

Note 10 - Equity Incentive Plan

On January 19, 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for the granting of dividend equivalent rights options, performance unit awards, phantom shares, stock appreciation rights and stock awards, each of which are subject to such conditions based upon continued employment, passage of time or satisfaction of performance criteria or other criteria as permitted by the plan. The plan, as amended on September 17, 2010, allows the Company to award, subject to approval by the Board of Directors, up to 950,000 shares of stock, to officers, employees, and directors, consultants and service providers of the Company or its affiliates. Awards may be granted for a term of up to ten years from the effective date of grant. Under ~~this~~the Plan, our Board of Directors has sole discretion as to the exercise date of any awards granted. The per-share exercise price of incentive stock ~~option~~ awards may not be less than the market value of a share of common stock on the date the award is granted. Any awards that expire unexercised or are canceled become available for re-issuance.

The Company can issue the restricted shares as of the grant date either by the issuance of share certificate(s) evidencing restricted shares or by documenting the issuance in uncertificated or book entry form on the Company's stock records. Except as provided by the Plan, the employee does not have the right to make or permit to exist any transfer or hypothecation of any restricted shares. When restricted shares vest, the employee must either pay the Company within two business days the amount of all tax withholding obligations imposed on the Company or make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to pay taxes at grant date.

Restricted shares may be subject to one or more objective employment, performance or other forfeiture conditions established by the Plan Committee at the time of grant. The restricted shares will not vest unless the Company’s retained earnings at the end of the fiscal quarter preceding the third anniversary of the restricted share award date are greater than the award value of the restricted shares. Any shares of restricted stock that are forfeited will again become available for issuance under the Plan. An employee or director has the right to vote the shares of restricted stock after grant until they are ~~forfeited or vested.~~forfeited. Compensation cost for restricted stock is equal to the market value of the shares at the date of the award and is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period. Dividends, if any, will be paid on awarded but unvested stock.

The Company did not issue any shares of restricted stock, nor were there any forfeitures of restricted stock, during the first quarter of 2014. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2013 ~~and 2012~~ the Company issued 1,245 ~~and~~ ~~13,627~~ shares ~~respectively,~~ of restricted stock ~~under~~pursuant to the Plan. The shares ~~issued in 2013 and 2012~~ cliff vest in three years and are fully vested in 2016, ~~and 2015, respectively,~~ subject to meeting the performance criteria of the Plan. The weighted-average fair value per share of restricted stock issued during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2013 ~~and 2012~~ was $~~1.76~~ ~~and $1.05~~ ~~per share, respectively.~~$1.76. Compensation cost associated with the ~~issuance~~issuances was $2,191 for ~~2013 and 2012 was $2,191~~ ~~and $14,308, respectively, to be amortized over three years.~~the quarter ended March 31, 2013. During the first ~~nine months~~quarter of 2013, ~~and 2012,~~ 835 ~~and~~ ~~2,023~~ shares ~~respectively,~~ were forfeited, having a weighted average price of $~~3.50~~$3.50. Shares vested in the first quarters of 2014 and $~~3.18~~,2013 were 14,827 and 30,229, respectively. ~~Deferred compensation expense of $82,657~~ ~~and $152,101, relating to restricted stock, was~~Compensation cost amortized to ~~income during~~expense for the ~~nine months ended September 30,~~first quarters of 2014 and 2013 was $10,364 and ~~2012,~~$39,039, respectively.

-17-

The ~~2006 Equity Incentive~~ Plan also allows for the issuance of Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs"). The SARs entitle the participant to receive the excess of (1) the market value of a specified or determinable number of shares of the stock at the exercise date over the fair value at grant date or (2) a specified or determinable price which may not in any event be less than the fair market value of the stock at the time of the award. Upon exercise, the Company can elect to settle the awards using either Company stock or cash. The shares start vesting after five years and vest at 20%20% per year until fully vested. Compensation cost for SARs is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period.

~~During the first quarter of 2012, the Board of Directors cancelled all~~ ~~84,334~~ ~~SARs that were outstanding at December 31, 2011.

Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) provide a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value that requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available-for-sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).

Fair value is defined as the exchange in price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

	~~-18-~~

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of the lower of cost or market accounting or the writing down of individual assets.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments:

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value. These levels are:

~~Level 1 -~~~~Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.~~

~~Level 2 -~~Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

~~Level 3 -~~Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Level 1-

Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 -

Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 -

Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Securities Available-for-Sale -Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Loans- The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012, substantially all~~2013, a significant portion of ~~the~~ impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

-18-

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale -The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.

	~~-19-~~

Other Real Estate Owned - Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to ~~other real estate owned.~~OREO. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is recorded initially at estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure. The initial recorded value may be subsequently reduced by additional allowances, which are charges to earnings if the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs declines below the initial recorded value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

The tables below present the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the hierarchy at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012.~~

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012,~~2013, aggregated by level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company for estimating fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value in the balance sheet on a recurring or nonrecurring basis:

Cash and Due from Banks and Interest-bearing Deposits with Other Banks- The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Time Deposits in other Banks- The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities Held-to-Maturity - The fair values of securities held-to-maturity are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities

~~Nonmarketable~~ Equity Securities- The carrying amount of nonmarketable equity securities is a reasonable estimate of fair value since no ready market exists for these securities.

~~Loans~~

Loans Receivable– For certain categories of loans, such as variable rate loans which are repriced frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on the carrying amounts. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposits- The fair value of demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase- The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because these instruments typically have terms of one day.

Advances From Federal Home Loan Bank-The fair values of fixed rate borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the Company’s current borrowing rate from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The carrying amounts of variable rate borrowings are reasonable estimates of fair value because they can be repriced frequently.

Junior Subordinated Debentures - The carrying value of the junior subordinated debentures approximates their fair value since they were issued at a floating rate.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable- The carrying value of these instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments- Fair values of off-balance sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing.

-20-

The following presents the carrying amount, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments as of ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012.~~2013. This table excludes financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. For short-term financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization. For financial liabilities such as noninterest-bearing demand, interest-bearing demand, and savings deposits, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to these products having no stated maturity.

Overview

The following discussion describes our results of operations for the ~~three and nine months~~quarter ended ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 as compared to the ~~three and nine months~~quarter ended ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 and also analyzes our financial condition as of ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 as compared to December 31, ~~2012.~~

2013.

Like most community bank holding companies, we derive the majority of our income from interest received on our loans and investments. Our primary source of funds for making these loans and investments is our deposits, on which we pay interest. Consequently, one of the key measures of our success is our amount of net interest income, or the difference between the income on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the expense on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Another key measure is the spread between the yield we earn on these interest-earning assets and the rate we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, which is called our net interest spread.

Due to risks inherent in all loans, we maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. We maintain this allowance by charging a provision for loan losses against our operating earnings for each period. We have included a detailed discussion of this process, as well as several tables describing our allowance for loan losses.

In addition to earning interest on our loans and investments, we earn income through fees and other charges to our customers. We have also included a discussion of the various components of this non-interest income, as well as our non-interest expense.

The following discussion and analysis also identifies significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements. We encourage you to read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements and the other statistical information included in our filings with the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have adopted various accounting policies, which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements at December 31, ~~2012~~2013 as filed onin our ~~annual report~~Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions we have made, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions we use are based on the historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of our judgments and assumptions, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a major impact on our carrying values of assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

We believe the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Refer to the portion of this discussion that addresses our allowance for loan losses for a description of our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses.

~~Recent Developments~~

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company executed a sale of adversely classified loans that had a book value of $3,197,096 to a third party buyer for $2,297,275 in cash consideration (the “Loan Sale”). As a result of the loan sale, the Company incurred a charge off of $899,821, which reflects the reduced value of the loans as represented by the sales price, versus the value of the loans as recorded on the Company’s books. The loans included in this sale were risk-rated substandard with no short-term resolutions available. Additional factors reviewed in the decision to sell these loans included the probability of loss, the amount of management time required on each loan, legal collection processes, as well as deferred maintenance cost associated with the repair of the underlying collateral and the marketing timeframe for the properties.

	~~-24-~~

~~We continue to review opportunities to reduce the level of classified assets and to reduce exposure to higher-risk assets; as such, we may conduct further loan sales in the future.~~

Additional information relating to the terms and conditions of the Series C Shares, including provisions relating to the Conversion, can be found in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2010.

Regulatory Matters

Following an examination of ~~First Reliance~~the Bank ~~(“the Bank”)~~ by the ~~Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”)~~FDIC during the first quarter of 2010, the ~~Bank’s~~Bank's Board of Directors agreed to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (the ~~“Bank MOU”~~"Bank MOU") with the FDIC and the South Carolina ~~Commissioner~~Board of ~~Banks~~Financial Institutions (the “SC ~~State~~ Board”) that became effective August 19, 2010. Among other things, the Bank MOU provides for the Bank to (i) review and formulate objectives relative to liquidity and growth, including a reduction in reliance on volatile liabilities, (ii) formulate plans for the reduction and improvement in adversely classified assets, (iii) maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 8% and continue to be ~~“well capitalized”~~"well capitalized" for regulatory purposes, (iv) continue to maintain an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses, (v) not pay any dividend to the ~~Bank’s~~Bank's parent holding company without the approval of the regulators, (vi) review officer performance and consider additional staffing needs, and (vii) provide progress reports and submit various other information to the regulators.

In addition, on the basis of the same examination by the FDIC and the SC ~~State~~ Board, the Federal Reserve ~~Bank of Richmond (the “Federal Reserve Bank”)~~ requested that the Company enter into a separate Memorandum of Understanding, which the Company entered into in December 2010 (the ~~“Company MOU”~~"Company MOU"). While this agreement provides for many of the same measures suggested by the ~~Memorandum already in place for the~~ Bank MOU, the Company MOU requires that the Company seek pre-approval from the Federal Reserve ~~Bank~~ prior to the declaration or payment of dividends or other interest payments relating to its securities. As a result, until the Company is no longer subject to the Company MOU, it will be required to seek regulatory approval prior to paying scheduled dividends on its preferred stock and on its trust preferred securities, including the Series A and Series B Preferred Shares. This provision will also apply to the ~~Company’s~~Company's common stock, although to date, the Company has not elected to pay dividends on its shares of common stock.

-23-

The Federal Reserve ~~Bank~~ approved the scheduled payment of dividends on the Company’s preferred stock and interest payments on the Company’s trust preferred securities for the first three quarters of 2011; however, the Federal Reserve did not approve the Company’s request to pay dividends and interest payments relating to its outstanding classes of preferred stock and trust preferred securities due and payable in the ~~third~~fourth quarter of 2011, and such consent has not been granted thereafter, largely out of deference to the Federal Reserve’s policy statement on dividends.

A policy statement published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System indicates that, as a general matter, it believes the board of directors of a bank holding company should eliminate, defer, or significantly reduce the company’s dividends if:

·~~the company’s net income available to shareholders for the preceding four quarters is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends;~~

·~~the prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with the company’s capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition; or~~

·~~the company will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios.~~

the company’s net income available to shareholders for the preceding four quarters is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends;

the prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with the company’s capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition; or

the company will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios.

The policy statement notes that a failure to do so could result in a supervisory finding that the organization is operating in an unsafe and unsound manner. We believe that the criteria noted above will be heavily weighted by the Federal Reserve in evaluating any future request by the Company to pay dividends on its Series A Shares and the Series B Shares and interest on its outstanding trust preferred securities. Accordingly, we do not anticipate submitting further approval requests until such time as each of the stated criteria has been met or there are other compelling reasons to believe such a request, if submitted, would be approved.

In response to these regulatory matters, the Bank and the Company have taken various actions designed to improve our lending procedures, nonperforming assets, liquidity and capital position and other conditions related to our operations, which are more fully described in turn as part of this discussion. We believe that the successful completion of these initiatives, and the continued improvement of the local economy of the communities we serve, will result in full compliance with our regulatory obligations with the FDIC, the SC ~~State~~ Board and the Federal Reserve ~~Bank~~ and position us well for stability and growth over the long term.

Effect of Economic Trends

Economic conditions, competition and federal monetary and fiscal policies also affect financial institutions. Lending activities are also influenced by regional and local economic factors, such as housing supply and demand, competition among lenders, customer preferences and levels of personal income and savings in our primary market area.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations for the first quarter of 2014 were $385,745 higher than results achieved in the first quarter of 2013. Specifically, for the first quarter 2014, we realized a net income available to common shareholders of $106,018, or a basic and diluted income per share of $0.02. For the ~~three months ended September 30,~~first quarter 2013, we incurred a net loss available to common shareholders of ~~$2,769,226,~~$279,727, or a basic and diluted loss per ~~common~~ share of ~~$0.63 compared to realizing net income available to common shareholders of $382,286, or a basic and diluted income per common share of $0.09 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.~~ $0.07.

The increase in the provision reflects a one -time charge-off of $899,821 associated with the Loan Sale. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Income Statement Review” for aincome. A detailed discussion of each of these ~~items.~~

We incurred a net loss available to common shareholders of $3,537,664, or a basic and diluted loss per common share of $0.84, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we realized net income available to common shareholders of $253,333, or a basic and diluted income per common share of $0.06. Comparing the first nine months of 2013 with those of 2012, we experienced a reduction of $3,790,997 in operating results. This reduction is primarily attributable to the $2,015,481 decline in net interest income and to the decline of $2,043,828 in noninterest income. However, our operating results for the first nine months of 2013 were favorably impacted by the $341,147 reduction in our provision for loan. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Income Statement Review” for a detailed discussion of each of these items.

Income Statement Review

Net Interest Income

The largest component of our net income is net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on assets and interest paid on deposits and on the borrowings used to support such assets. Net interest income is determined by the yields earned on our interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the degree of mismatch and the maturity and repricing characteristics of ~~its~~ interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. ~~Total~~The total interest-earning assets yield rate less the total interest-bearing liabilities rate represents our net interest rate spread.

Net ~~interest income decreased $744,004 or 19.83%, to $3,008,565 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $3,752,569 for the comparable period of 2012. Our net~~ interest income for the ~~nine months ended September 30,~~first quarter of 2014 was $3,238,201 compared to $3,045,620 for the first quarter of 2013, ~~and 2012 was $9,077,448 and $11,092,929, respectively. This represents a decrease~~an increase of ~~$2,015,481~~$192,581, or ~~18.17%~~6.32%. The ~~decrease in both periods~~increase is due primarily to the ~~significant reduction~~18.95% decline in the average volume of our ~~loans, which are our highest yielding earning assets. While this reduction reflects,~~interest bearing liabilities, slightly offset by a decline in ~~part,~~ the ~~reduced balances of certain classified loans, it also reflects relatively weak loan demand in our core markets. The~~ average volume of our ~~loans was $46,803,137 and $42,839,937, lower for~~earning assets of 16.06%. Additionally, we reduced the ~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, than they~~average rate paid on our interest bearing liabilities by 46 basis points, while we were ~~for comparable 2012 periods.~~

able to increase the average rate earned on our earning assets by 51 basis points.

For the ~~three months ended September 30, 2013,~~first quarter of 2014, average-earning assets totaled ~~$313,365,157~~$299,638,201 with an annualized average yield of ~~4.50%~~4.88% compared to ~~$396,609,932,~~$356,963,528 and ~~4.81%~~4.37%, respectively, for the ~~three months ended September 30, 2012.~~first quarter of 2013.

~~Average earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $335,896,069 and $412,638,664, respectively, with an annualized average yield~~first quarter of 4.42% and 4.75% respectively. Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $287,544,924 and $369,728,688 with an annualized average cost of 0.95% and 1.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

2013.

Because loans often provide a higher yield than other types of earning assets, one of our goals is to maintain our loan portfolio as the largest component of total earning assets. Loans comprised ~~75.66%~~80.86% and ~~74.33%~~73.40% of average earning assets ~~for the three~~at March 31, 2014 and ~~nine months ending September 30,~~ 2013, ~~respectively compared to 71.58% and 70.92%, respectively for the comparable period of 2012.~~

Available-for-sale investment securities averaged $54,372,752 and 16.19% of average earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $83,961,032 and 20.35% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, to the comparable 2012 periods, the average balances of these securities was $27,959,877 and $29,588,280 lower, respectively. During the third quarter of 2012, we significantly reduced our portfolio of municipal securities because of our concerns about the deterioration in their market bond ratings and to lower the credit risk associated with our securities portfolio. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, municipal securities averaged $1,838,277 and $619,493, respectively, compared to $13,356,340 and $17,358,424, respectively, for the comparable 2012 periods.

The annualized average yield on available-for-sale investment securities was 2.34% and 2.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in yield on our available-for-sale investment securities was caused, in part, by a historically flat yield curve for investment securities that has diminished returns available for this asset type.

Our average interest-bearing deposits were ~~$239,491,852~~$215,923,992 and ~~$322,060,860~~$282,714,350 for the ~~third quarter~~first quarters of ~~2013~~2014 and ~~2012,~~2013, respectively.

This represented a decrease of $81,962,517, or 23.88%23.62%. Total interest paid on deposits for ~~the three~~first quarters of 2014 and ~~nine months ended September 30,~~ 2013 was ~~$425,729~~$282,452 and $1,676,205, respectively, compared to $911,213 and $3,180,242, for the same periods of 2012. The annualized average cost of deposits was 0.70% and 1.13% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The annualized average cost of deposits was 0.86% and 1.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012,$678,374, respectively. As our loan demand declined, we concurrently lowered our rates paid for deposits, ~~especially~~specifically for time deposits, which is the primary reason ~~why~~that the ~~volume~~amount of our average time deposits ~~were 40.66% and 35.26%~~are $53,289,342, or 38.89%, lower during the ~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2013~~first quarter of 2014 than during the ~~comparable 2012 periods.~~

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

We have developed policies and procedures for evaluating the overall quality of our credit portfolio and the timely identification of potential problem credits. On a quarterly basis, our Board of Directors reviews and approves the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses based upon management’s recommendations, the results of our internal monitoring and reporting system, and an analysis of economic conditions in our market. The objective of management has been to fund the allowance for loan losses at a level greater than or equal to our internal risk measurement system for loan risk.

Additions to the allowance for loan losses, which are expensed as the provision for loan losses on our statement of operations, are made periodically to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level based on management’s analysis of the potential risk in the loan portfolio. Loan losses and recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowance. The amount of the provision is a function of the level of loans outstanding, the level of nonperforming loans, historical loan loss experience, the amount of loan losses actually charged against the reserve during a given period, and current and anticipated economic conditions.

The allowance represents an amount which management believes will be adequate to absorb inherent losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Our judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on a number of assumptions about future events, which we believe to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove to be accurate. Our determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on regular evaluations of the collectability of loans, including consideration of factors such as the balance of impaired loans, the quality, mix, and size of our overall loan portfolio, economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the amount and quality of collateral securing the loans, our historical loan loss experience, and a review of specific problem loans. We also consider subjective issues such as changes in our lending policies and procedures, changes in the local and national economy, changes in volume or type of credits, changes in the volume or severity of problem loans, quality of loan review and board of director oversight, concentrations of credit, and peer group comparisons.

More specifically, in determining our allowance for loan losses, we regularly review loans for specific and impaired reserves based on the appropriate impairment assessment methodology. Pooled reserves are determined using historical loss trends measured over a four-quarter average applied to risk rated loans grouped by Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (“FFIEC”) call code and segmented by impairment status. The pooled reserves are calculated by applying the appropriate historical loss ratio to the loan categories. Impaired loans greater than a minimum threshold established by management are excluded from this analysis. The sum of all such amounts determines our pooled reserves. ~~We have shortened the period over which we review historical losses from eight quarters to four in response to industry trends and conditions; the shorter loss history window is more in~~In line with our peer group, ~~and tracks more closely the unusual market volatility of the past several years, making the~~we review historical losses over four quarters, which results in a provision estimate ~~more~~ responsive to current economic conditions. The historical loss factors utilized in our model have been updated as of the end of the ~~third~~fourth quarter ~~2013~~2014 to reflect losses realized through the end of ~~second~~fourth quarter 2013.

As we mention above, we track our portfolio and analyze loans grouped by FFIEC call code categories. The first step in this process is to risk grade each loan in the portfolio based on one common set of parameters. These parameters include items like debt-to-worth ratio, liquidity of the borrower, net worth, experience in a particular field and other factors such as underwriting exceptions. Weight is also given to the relative strength of any guarantors on the loan.

	~~-30-~~

After risk grading each loan, we then segment the portfolio by FFIEC call code groupings, separating out substandard and impaired loans. The remaining loans are grouped into “performing loan pools.” The loss history for each performing loan pool is measured over a specific period of time to create a loss factor. The relevant look back period is determined by management, regulatory guidance, and current market events. The loss factor is then applied to the pool balance and the reserve per pool calculated. Loans deemed to be substandard but not impaired are segregated and a loss factor is applied to this pool as well. Loans are segmented based upon sizes as smaller impaired loans are pooled and a loss factor applied, while larger impaired loans are assessed individually using the appropriate impairment measuring methodology. Finally, five qualitative factors are utilized to assess economic and other trends not currently reflected in the loss history. These factors include concentration of credit across the portfolio, the experience level of management and staff, effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting practice, industry conditions and the current economic and business environment. A quantitative value is assigned to each of the five factors, which is then applied to the performing loan pools. Negative trends in the loan portfolio increase the quantitative values assigned to each of the qualitative factors and, therefore, increase the reserve. For example, as general economic and business conditions decline, this qualitative factor’s quantitative value will increase, which will increase the reserve requirement for this factor. Similarly, positive trends in the loan portfolio, such as improvement in general economic and business conditions, will decrease the quantitative value assigned to this qualitative factor, thereby decreasing the reserve requirement for this factor. These factors are reviewed and updated by our management committee on a regular basis to arrive at a consensus for our qualitative adjustments.

-27-

Periodically, we adjust the amount of the allowance based on changing circumstances. We recognize loan losses to the allowance and add subsequent recoveries back to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, on a quarterly basis, we informally compare our allowance for loan losses to various peer institutions; however, we recognize that allowances will vary, as financial institutions are unique in the make-up of their loan portfolios and customers, which necessarily creates different risk profiles and risk weighting of qualitative factors for the institutions. We would only consider further adjustments to our allowance for loan losses based on this peer review if our allowance was significantly different from our peer group. To date, we have not made any such adjustment. There can be no assurance that charge-offs of loans in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses as estimated at any point in time or that provisions for loan losses will not be significant to a particular accounting period, especially considering the overall economic weakness in many of our market areas due to a slow recovery from the recent downturn.

Various regulatory agencies review our allowance for loan losses through their periodic examinations, and they may require additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgment and assumptions about the economic condition of our market and the loan portfolio at the time of their examinations. Our losses will undoubtedly vary from our estimates, and it is possible that charge-offs in future periods will exceed the allowance for loan losses as estimated at any point in time.

As of ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2014 and 2013, ~~and 2012,~~ the allowance for loan losses was ~~$2,899,368~~$2,802,823 and ~~$4,341,422,~~$4,198,520, respectively, a decrease of ~~$1,442,054,~~$1,395,697, or ~~33.22%~~33.20%, from the ~~2012~~2013 allowance, ~~which reflects the~~reflecting significant ~~reduction~~reductions in practically all categories of our problem loans. As a percentage of total loans, the allowance for loan losses was ~~1.25%~~1.17% and ~~1.58%~~1.64% at ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2014 and 2013, ~~and 2012,~~ respectively. See the discussion regarding the provision expense and “Activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses” below for additional information regarding our asset quality and loan portfolio.

Our analysis of ~~2013 compared to $350,955 and $950,955, respectively, for the same periods of 2012.

These loans were risk rated substandard with no short-term resolutions available. We continue to review opportunities to reduce the level of classified assets and to reduce exposure to higher-risk assets; as such, we may conduct further loan sales in the future.

Noninterest Income

For the ~~three and nine months ended September 30,~~first quarter of 2014 compared to first quarter 2013, noninterest income decreased ~~$1,271,754 and $2,043,828,~~$111,714, or ~~51.86% and 37.44%, respectively.~~

~~As a result of selling fewer available-for-sale securities during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared~~10.10%. The decrease is due primarily to the ~~comparable 2012 periods,~~following. During the ~~realized~~first half of 2013, the U.S. economy experienced historically low mortgage rates, which resulted in a high volume of homeowners choosing to refinance their existing mortgages. However, during latter half of 2013, mortgage interest rates began to rise, resulting in a decrease in the number of refinanced mortgages. This led to the $92,329 decline in the gain ~~on the sales of available-for-sale securities was $1,298,627 and $1,772,497 lower, respectively.~~

Other non-interest income for the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $82,617 and $57,544, respectively. Comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 with the comparable 2012 period, our other non-interest income was $241,861 lower. This decline is mainly due to a recovery of previously incurred expenses of $210,320 received during the second quarter of 2012, and to a one-time gain of $119,328 on the sale of ~~a participation loan during~~mortgage loans for the first quarter of ~~2012.~~

For the ~~quarter~~quarters ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2014 and 2013, noninterest expense totaled ~~$6,049,238 which is $871,700,~~$3,897,629 and $4,149,697, respectively, a decrease of $252,068, or 16.84%, higher than our noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, noninterest expense totaled $14,533,791 and $14,465,669, respectively, an increase of $68,122, or 0.47% for 2013 compared to 2012.

By improving operating efficiencies, we were able to reduce the expense for this category by $115,974, or 1.83%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, salaries and benefits were $5,845,209 and $5,771,871, respectively, an increase of $73,338. During the first quarter of 2012, we recognized a $337,153 reduction in this expense category as the result of canceling all stock appreciation rights outstanding at December 31, 2011. This reduction was offset by customary salaries and benefits increases.

1. OREO expenses for the third of quarter of 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, were $1,508,344 and $972,509 higher than the comparable 2012 periods. Expenses related to OREO include maintenance costs, marketing costs, property taxes, and other professional services. During the third quarter of 2013, based on our analysis of the value of our OREO, we wrote down the values of certain properties by $1,403,712, whereas no similar write downs were required for the third quarter of 2012. Write downs were $551,523 higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 than they were for the comparable 2012 period.

2. The cost of our Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance assessments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, declined $80,811 and $205,830, respectively, from the comparable 2012 periods. The decline in both periods is primarily attributable to a significant reduction in our deposits. From September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2013, our total deposits declined by $68,145,954, or 18.70%, largely because of the 76.80% decline in our time deposits, which bear the highest interest rate we pay for deposits.

3. During the first quarter of 2013, we recorded a $70,000 impairment loss on an investment in an illiquid equity security issued by another financial institution that was purchased for $100,000. At September 30, 2013, this security, with a carrying value of $30,000, is included in available-for-sale securities. While we believe there will be no further impairment, there is no assurance that the carrying value of this security will be realized in the future. There were no impairment losses during the third quarter of 2013 or during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

4. Mortgage loan expenses for the third of quarter of 2013 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, were $779,437 and $754,037 lower than the comparable 2012 periods. The decrease in both periods is primarily attributable to the significant reduction in our expenses relating to the repurchasing of previously sold mortgage loans.

2. OREO expenses for the first quarter of 2014 were $100,979 lower than the first quarter of 2013. The decrease is attributable to the net gain/loss recognized on the sale of OREO properties that are included in OREO expenses. For the first quarter of 2014 we realized a net gain of $112,594, while for the first quarter of 2013 we realized a net loss of $24,340.
3. During the first quarter of 2013, we recorded a $70,000 impairment loss on our equity security that was purchased for $100,000. In the first quarter of 2014, there was no impairment loss.
4. The cost of our FDIC insurance assessments for the first quarter of 2014 declined $59,426, largely because we successfully reduced the average volume of our higher cost time deposits.

Income Taxes

The income tax benefit related to the Company's pretax loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was offset by the increase of an equal amount in the valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets. Likewise, the income tax expense related to ~~the~~our pretax income for the ~~comparable 2012 periods~~first quarters of 2014 and 2013 was offset by a reversal of an equal amount ~~of the Company’s~~in our valuation allowance related to ~~its~~our deferred tax assets.

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio, which is also a component of our total earning assets, consists of securities available-for-sale, securities held-to-maturity and nonmarketable equity securities.

Securities ~~available-for-sale~~Available-for-Sale- At ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, our investment in available-for-sale securities was ~~$51,243,713.~~$11,253,414. This is ~~$8,827,299,~~$891,429, or ~~14.69%~~7.34%, lower than our investment of ~~$60,071,012~~$12,144,843 in available-for-sale securities at December 31, ~~2012.~~ 2013. These securities are carried at their estimated fair value.

Securities Held-to-Maturity -At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, securities held-to-maturity were $35,643,920 and $36,951,934, respectively, a decrease of $1,308,014, or 3.54%. These securities are carried at amortized cost, including the net unrealized gain in available-for-sale-securities that were reclassified as held-to-maturity on December 31, 2013. The net unrealized gain is being amortized to other comprehensive income over the life of the underlying securities. The net unrealized gain included in the amortized cost at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, was $224,496 and $237,797, respectively. We intend to hold these securities to maturity and have the ability to do so.

At ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, there were no securities available-for-sale or securities held-to-maturity that had been in a loss position for twelve months or more. However, during the first quarter of 2013 we determined that our equity investment of $100,000 in a local community bank was other-than-temporarily impaired. Based on industry analyst reports and market trading prices, it was determined that the estimated fair market value of this investment was $30,000. Consequently, an impairment loss of $70,000 was recognized. While we do not intend to sell this security in the near future, and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell it, there is no assurance that the carrying value of this security will be realized in the future.

Loans

Loans, including loans held for sale, are the largest category of earning assets and typically provide higher yields than the other types of earning assets. Associated with the higher loan yields are the inherent credit and liquidity risks, ~~that~~which we attempt to control and counterbalance. Loans averaged ~~$249,805,558~~$242,289,822 during the first ~~nine months ended September 30, 2013~~quarter of 2014 compared to ~~$292,645,495~~$262,024,318 during the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2012,~~first quarter of 2013, a decrease of ~~$42,839,937,~~$19,734,496, or ~~14.64%~~7.53%. ~~At September 30,~~From March 31, 2013 ~~total loans were $231,918,747 compared~~ to ~~$265,879,194 at December~~March 31, 2012, a decrease of $33,960,447, or 12.77%. Excluding loans held for sale, loans were $231,093,043 at September 30, 2013, compared to $260,257,334 at December 31, 2012, which equated to a decrease of $29,164,291, or 11.21%. During the first nine months of 20132014, we charged off loans totaling ~~$2,273,922, including $899,821 related to the Loan Sale,~~approximately $2,374,000 and foreclosed on loans totaling ~~$4,602,690,~~approximately $4,395,000, whereby the loan balances were transferred to other real estate owned. The remainder of this decrease iswas the result of the economic downturn in our markets and worldwide deleveraging that ~~has~~ caused the volume of new loan customers and average loan balances carried by current customers to decrease.

At March 31, 2014, total loans were $240,571,970 compared to $240,750,383 at December 31, 2013, a decrease of $174,413, or 0.07%. Excluding loans held for sale, loans were $239,634,692 at March 31, 2014, compared to $238,502,131 at December 31, 2013, an increase of $1,132,561, or 0.47%. This increase is mainly attributable to the rise of $1,482,803 in our nonresidential loans, which includes commercial loans secured by real estate. During the latter part of 2013, we renewed our emphasis on marketing commercial loan products to small business owners.

In the context of this discussion, a “real estate mortgage loan” is defined as any loan, other than a loan for construction purposes, secured by real estate, regardless of the purpose of the loan. It is common practice for financial institutions in our market area to obtain a mortgage on the ~~Borrower’s~~borrower’s real estate when possible, in addition to any other available collateral. This real estate collateral is taken as security to reinforce the likelihood of the ultimate repayment of the loan and tends to increase management’s willingness to make real estate loans and, to that extent, also tends to increase the magnitude of the real estate loan portfolio component.

The largest component of our loan portfolio is real estate mortgage loans. At ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, real estate mortgage loans totaled ~~$193,752,427~~$194,908,379 and represented ~~83.85%~~81.33% of the total loan portfolio, compared to ~~$221,530,369,~~$194,254,829, or ~~85.12%~~81.45%, at December 31, ~~2012.~~2013. This represents ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$27,777,942,~~$653,550, or ~~12.54%~~0.34%, from the December 31, ~~2012~~2013 balance.

Residential mortgage loans totaled ~~$64,483,751~~$65,156,570 at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014, and represented ~~27.92%~~27.18% of the total loan portfolio, compared to ~~$67,234,920~~$65,700,997 and ~~25.83%,~~27.55% respectively, at December 31, ~~2012.~~2013. Residential ~~mortgage~~real estate loans consist of first and second mortgages on single or multi-family residential dwellings.

Nonresidential mortgage loans, which include commercial loans and other loans secured by multi-family properties and farmland, totaled ~~$103,285,343~~$105,861,288 at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014, compared to ~~$122,309,917~~$104,378,485 at December 31, ~~2012.~~2013. This represents ~~a decrease~~an increase of ~~$19,024,574,~~$1,482,803, or ~~15.55%~~1.42%, from the December 31, ~~2012~~2013 balance. These loans represented ~~44.69%~~44.18% and ~~47.00%~~43.76% of the total loans at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012,~~2013, respectively.

Real estate construction loans were ~~$25,983,333~~$23,890,521 and ~~$31,985,532~~$24,175,348 at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012,~~2013, respectively, and represented ~~11.24%~~9.97% and ~~12.29%~~10.14% of the total loan portfolio, respectively. From December 31, ~~2012~~2013 to ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, these loans declined ~~$6,002,199,~~$284,827, or ~~18.77%~~1.18%.

	~~-34-~~

Currently, the demand for ~~all types of~~ real estate loans in our market area is weak, largely because of a slow recovery from the recent recession that affected many businesses and individuals in our market area.

-31-

Commercial and industrial loans decreased $2,508,527,increased $97,675, or 8.57%0.30%, to $26,747,037$32,584,523 at September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, from $29,255,564$32,486,848 at December 31, 2012.2013. The increase is attributable to our renewed emphasis on marketing commercial loan products to small business owners. At September 30, 2013March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2012,2013, commercial and industrial loans represented 11.57%13.60% and 11.24%13.62%, respectively, of the total loan portfolio.

Our loan portfolio is also comprised of consumer and other loans that totaled ~~$10,593,579~~$12,141,790 and ~~$9,471,401~~$11,760,454 at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012, respectively. At September 30,~~ 2013, respectively, and ~~December 31, 2012, these loans~~ represented ~~4.58%~~5.07% and ~~3.64%~~4.93%, respectively, of the total loan portfolio. From December 31, ~~2012~~2013 to ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, our consumer and other loans have increased by ~~$1,122,178,~~$381,336, resulting primarily from the implementation of several marketing programs designed to increase consumer borrowings.

Our loan portfolio reflects the diversity of our markets. The economies of our markets contain elements of medium and light manufacturing, higher education, regional health care, and distribution facilities. We expect our local economy to remain stable; however, due to the slow economic recovery in some of our markets, we do not expect any material growth in our loan portfolio in the near future. We do not engage in foreign lending.

Maturities and Sensitivity of Loans to Changes in Interest Rates

The information in the following tables is based on the contractual maturities of individual loans, including loans which may be subject to renewal at their contractual maturity. Renewal of such loans is subject to review and credit approval, as well as modification of terms upon maturity. Actual repayments of loans may differ from the maturities reflected below because borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

In the third quarter of 2013 we recognized a charge of $899,821 to the allowance for loan losses from the sale of $3,197,096 of problem loans. These loans were risk rated substandard with no short-term resolutions available, Additional factors reviewed in the decision to sell these loans included the probability of loss, the amount of management time required on each loan, legal collection processes, as well as deferred maintenance cost to repair the underlying collateral and marketing timeframe.

Nonaccruing loans – At ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2014 and 2013, ~~and 2012,~~ loans totaling ~~$8,926,687~~$7,688,522 and ~~$22,074,789,~~$19,539,884, respectively, were in nonaccrual status. The improvement in nonaccrual loans was due primarily to charge-offs, foreclosures, and repayments. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due and/or we deem the ~~collectability~~collectibility of the principal and/or interest to be doubtful. ~~Generally, once~~Once a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, all previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest ~~income, unless collection of interest accrued to date is expected.~~income. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized on a cash basis when the ultimate collectability is no longer considered doubtful. Loans are returned to accrual status when the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. For the ~~nine months ended September 30,~~first quarters of 2014 and 2013, ~~and 2012,~~ interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans was ~~$478,475~~$31,086 and ~~$605,750,~~$148,728, respectively. If the nonaccrual loans had been accruing interest at their original contracted rates, related income would have been ~~$654,639~~$110,227 and ~~$927,891~~$289,706 for ~~the nine months~~quarters ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2014 and 2013, ~~and 2012,~~ respectively. We note that the increased volume of nonaccrual nonresidential real estate loans was roughly offset by a reduction in the volume of nonaccrual real estate construction loans that were primarily located in coastal markets that were harder hit by the economic downturn. All nonaccruing loans at ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2014 and 2013 ~~and 2012~~ were included in our classification of impaired loans at those dates.

Restructured loans - In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, a concession to the borrower is granted that we would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a ~~troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).~~TDR. The restructuring of a loan may include the transfer of real estate collateral, either through the pledge of additional properties by the borrower or through a transfer to the Bank in lieu of foreclosures. Restructured loans may also include the borrower transferring to the Bank receivables from third parties, other assets, or an equity interest in the borrower in full or partial satisfaction of the loan, a modification of the loan terms, or a combination of the above.

At ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 there were 2930 loans classified as ~~TDRs~~a TDR totaling ~~$7,341,485.~~$7,274,231. Of the 2930 loans, 1516 loans totaling ~~$3,501,541~~$4,564,197 were performing while 14 loans totaling ~~$3,839,944~~$2,710,034 were not performing. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2012~~2013 there were 5251 loans classified as a TDR totaling ~~$15,155,121.~~$13,062,003. Of the 5251 loans, ~~seven~~17 loans totaling ~~$3,128,542~~$5,533,207 were performing while 4534 loans totaling ~~$12,026,579~~$7,528,795 were not performing. From March 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014, TDR loans decreased by $5,787,772 due to charge-offs, foreclosures and repayments. All restructured loans resulted in either extended maturity or lowered rates and were included in the impaired loan balance.

Impaired loans - At ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, we had impaired loans totaling ~~$14,794,928~~$15,242,612, as compared to ~~$30,710,491~~$26,613,230 at ~~September 30, 2012. Included~~March 31, 2013. The improvement in impaired loans in the ~~impaired~~first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily attributable to the reduction of high-risk construction loans ~~at September 30, 2013~~on our books and the phasing out of our credit exposure in the Myrtle Beach and Charleston markets, which were 8particularly hard hit by the downturn in real estate markets in 2013. At March 31, 2014, there were 9 borrowers that accounted for approximately ~~69.59%~~70.09% of the total amount of the impaired loans at that date. These loans were primarily commercial real estate loans located in ~~coastal~~the following South ~~Carolina.~~Carolina areas: 53% in the Coastal area, 22% in the Columbia area and 25% in the Florence area. Impaired loans, as a percentage of total loans, were ~~6.40%~~6.36% at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 as compared ~~to 11.16%~~9.98% at ~~September 30, 2012.~~

March 31, 2013.

During the ~~first nine months of 2013,~~quarter ended March 31, 2014, the average investment in impaired loans was approximately ~~$21,140,000~~$16,702,000 as compared to ~~$27,408,000~~$26,739,000 during the ~~first nine months of 2012.~~quarter ended March 31, 2013. Impaired loans with a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses totaled ~~approximately $5,123,000~~$5,227,045 and ~~$10,785,000~~$7,729,196 at ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2014 and 2013, ~~and 2012,~~ respectively. The amount of the specific allocation at ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $560,661 and ~~2012 was $280,295 and $658,262,~~$405,265, respectively.

The downturn in the real estate market that began in 2008 and continued into ~~2013~~the first quarter of 2014 has resulted in an increase in loan delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures; however, we believe these trends are stabilizing as the liquidation prices for our ~~other real estate owned have~~OREO has stabilized for vertical construction, indicating some stabilization of demand for that product. In some cases, the current economic downturn has resulted in a significant impairment to the value of our collateral and limits our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure at its appraised value. There is also risk that downward trends could continue at a higher pace. If real estate values further decline, it is also more likely that we would be required to increase our allowance for loan losses.

On a quarterly basis, we analyze each loan that is classified as impaired during the period to determine the potential for possible loan losses. This analysis is focused upon determining the then current estimated value of the collateral, local market condition, and estimated costs to foreclose, repair and resell the property. The net realizable value of the property is then computed and compared to the loan balance to determine the appropriate amount of specific reserve for each loan.

Other nonperforming assets –- Other nonperforming assets consist of ~~other real estate owned (“OREO”)~~OREO that was acquired through foreclosure. OREO is carried at fair market value minus estimated costs to sell. Current appraisals are obtained at time of foreclosure and write-downs, if any, charged to the allowance for loan losses as of the date of foreclosure. On a regular basis, we reevaluate our OREO properties for impairment. Along with gains and losses on disposal, expenses to maintain such assets and subsequent changes in the valuation allowance are included in other noninterest expense.

	~~-37-~~

As of ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, we had OREO properties totaling ~~$13,913,979,~~$7,236,115, geographically located in the following South Carolina areas ~~54.34%~~– 63.00% in the Coastal area, ~~14.30%~~8.21% in the Columbia area and ~~31.36%~~28.79% in the Florence area. The combined nature of these properties is ~~82.54%~~92.83% commercial and ~~17.46%~~7.17% residential and other. We are diligently trying to dispose of our OREO properties; however, the relatively low demand in many of these market segments affects our ability to do so in a timely manner without experiencing additional losses. This is especially true for properties consisting of raw land.

From ~~September 30, 2012~~March 31, 2013 to ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, OREO decreased ~~$1,444,956,~~$7,838,912, or ~~9.40%~~52.00%. During this period, sales and write downs were ~~$5,614,212~~$7,328,022 and ~~$1,712,610,~~$4,905,476, respectively, while properties acquired through foreclosures totaled ~~$5,881,866.~~

~~A number~~$4,394,586.

The write downs noted in the previous paragraph were primarily the result of an extensive marketing analysis of our OREO properties ~~with improvements are income producing, either through~~that we made during the fourth quarter of 2013, taking into consideration our experience as to the time required to sell OREO properties, the volume of OREO properties held by other banks in our market area, and the deeply discounted prices being offered for the purchase of OREO properties. As a result of this analysis, we increased our write downs by $3,500,000 for estimated future losses on the sale ~~or interim leasing. This cash flow helps offset direct costs such as taxes and insurance and offsetting opportunity cost during marketing. During~~on our OREO properties.

OREO expense for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $115,286 and ~~2012, income earned~~$216,265, respectively, which includes a net gain of $112,594 and a net loss of $24,340 on ~~OREO was $41,077 and $116,702, respectively, while OREO expenses, net of income earned, was $2,738,692 and $1,766,182,~~sales, respectively.

Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased ~~$82,183,764,~~$58,450,568, or ~~22.23%~~18.95%, to ~~$287,544,924~~$249,959,338 for the ~~nine months ending September 30, 2013~~first quarter of 2014, from ~~$369,728,688~~$308,409,906 for the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2012.~~

comparable 2013 period. This decrease is primarily attributable to the significant reduction in our average interest-bearing deposits.

Deposits - For the ~~nine months~~quarters ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2014 and 2013, ~~and 2012,~~ average total deposits were ~~$322,685,164~~$279,004,035 and ~~$399,988,574,~~$343,513,855, respectively, which is a decrease of ~~$77,303,410,~~$66,790,353, or ~~19.32%. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total deposits were $296,198,396 and $349,314,134 respectively, a decrease of $53,115,738, or 15.21%~~19.44%. As our loan demand declined, we concurrently lowered our rates paid for deposits, ~~especially~~specifically for time deposits, which is the primary reason ~~why~~that the ~~amounts~~amount of our average time deposits are $53,289,342, or 38.89%, lower during the first quarter of 2014 than during the same period in 2013. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, total deposits were ~~significantly lower for the period ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012.~~

$285,294,349 and $282,415,023, respectively, a decrease of $2,879,326, or 1.02%.

Average interest-bearing deposits decreased ~~$81,962,517,~~$66,790,358, or ~~23.88%~~23.62%, to ~~$261,251,687~~$215,923,992 for the ~~nine months~~quarter ended ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, from ~~$343,214,204~~$282,714,350 for the ~~nine months~~quarter ended ~~September 30, 2012.~~

Core deposits, which exclude time deposits of $100,000 or more, provide a relatively stable funding source for our loan portfolio and other earning assets. Our core deposits were ~~$249,590,950~~$246,867,898 and ~~$265,610,288~~$242,480,278 at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012,~~2013, respectively. As of ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012,~~2013, our core deposits were ~~84.26%~~86.53% and ~~76.04%~~85.86% of total deposits, respectively. Overall, we have placed a high priority on securing low-cost local deposits over other, more costly, funding sources in the current low-rate environment.

Included in time deposits of $100,000 and over, at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012,~~2013, are brokered time deposits of ~~$29,005,000 and $57,885,000, respectively, equating to a decrease of $28,880,000.~~$23,005,000. In accordance with our asset/liability management strategy, we do not intend to renew or replace the brokered deposits outstanding at ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, when they mature.

Deposits, and particularly core deposits, have been our primary source of funding and have enabled us to meet successfully both our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We anticipate that such deposits will continue to be our primary source of funding in the future. Our loan-to-deposit ratio was ~~78.02%~~84.00% and ~~74.51%~~84.45% on ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012,~~2013, respectively.

Three months or less $ 12,049,571

Over one year through three years		11,692,887
Over three years		386,829
Total	$	38,426,451

Approximately ~~71.58%~~68.56% of our time deposits of $100,000 or more had scheduled maturities within one year. Large certificate of deposit customers tend to be extremely sensitive to interest rate levels, making these deposits less reliable sources of funding for liquidity planning purposes than core deposits. We expect most certificates of ~~deposits~~deposit with maturities less than one year to be renewed upon maturity. However, there is the possibility that some certificates may not be renewed. We believe that, should these certificates of deposit not be renewed, the impact would be minimal on our operations and liquidity due to the availability of other funding sources.

Other Borrowings -– Other borrowings at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012,~~2013, consist of the following:

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase mature on a one to seven day basis. These agreements are secured by U.S. government agency securities. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank mature at different periods, as discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements, and are secured by our one to four family residential mortgage loans and our investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank stock. The junior subordinated debentures mature on November 23, 2035 and have an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.83%.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders' equity at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012~~2013 was ~~$37.3~~$32.4 million and ~~$41.2~~$32.1 million, respectively. The ~~$3.9~~$0.3 million ~~decrease~~increase during the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2013~~2014 resulted mainly from our net ~~loss from operations~~income of ~~$2.7 million, other comprehensive loss of $1.2 million, and the expenses related to the auction of our Series A and B Preferred stock of $0.2~~$0.3 million. ~~No material expenses were recognized or capitalized due to the conversion of our Series C Preferred Stock.~~

The following table shows the return on average assets (net income divided by average total assets), return on average equity (net income divided by average equity), and equity to assets ratio (average equity divided by average total assets) for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and ~~2012.~~2013. While we have not paid a cash dividend on our common stock since our inception, the Company has declared and paid dividends on its outstanding shares of preferred stock, and made quarterly interest payments on its trust-preferred securities as agreed. Under the terms of the Company MOU, the terms of which are more fully described as part of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Regulatory Matters,” the Company must request prior approval from the Federal Reserve prior to declaring or paying dividends on ~~our~~its common stock or preferred stock, or making scheduled interest payments on ~~our~~its trust-preferred securities. ~~Such approval was not granted by~~The Federal Reserve approved the scheduled payment of dividends on the Company’s preferred stock and interest payments on the Company’s trust preferred securities for the first three quarters of 2011; however, the Federal Reserve ~~for payment of~~did not approve the Company’s request to pay dividends and interest payments relating to its outstanding classes of preferred stock and trust preferred securities due and payable in the ~~eight consecutive quarters ended September 30, 2013.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Currently, the Bank MOU requires that the Bank maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8%, and our other regulatory capital ratios at such levels so as to be considered well capitalized for regulatory purposes. We continue to be in full compliance with this requirement of the Bank MOU. Additional discussion of the Bank MOU is included above as part of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Regulatory Matters.”

	~~-39-~~

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance-sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 100%. Tier 1 capital of the Company consists of common shareholders’ equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities available-for-sale, minus certain intangible assets. The Company’s Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan losses subject to certain limitations. Total capital for purposes of computing the capital ratios consists of the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The regulatory minimum requirements are 4% for Tier 1 capital and 8% for total risk-based capital; under the provisions of the Bank MOU the Bank will be required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10%. However, as the Company has less than $500 million in assets, its activities and regulatory capital structure are de-emphasized pursuant to the Federal Reserve's Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement, with all significant business activities attributed to the Bank by the Company's regulators.

The Company and the Bank are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio. Only the strongest banks are allowed to maintain capital at the minimum requirement of 3%. All others are subject to maintaining ratios 1% to 2% above the minimum.

The Company and the Bank were each considered to be “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012.~~ 2013.

The following table shows the regulatory capital ratios for the Company and the Bank at ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014 and December 31, ~~2012.~~

In July 2013, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency each approved final rules to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms, among other changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The rules will apply to all national and state banks, such as the Bank, and savings associations and most bank holding companies and savings and loan holding companies, which we collectively refer to herein as “covered banking organizations.” Bank holding companies with less than $500 million in total consolidated assets, such as the Company, are not subject to the final rules, nor are savings and loan holding companies substantially engaged in commercial activities or insurance underwriting. The framework requires covered banking organizations to hold more and higher quality capital, which acts as a financial cushion to absorb losses, taking into account the impact of risk. The approved rules include a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5% as well as a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. The rules also raise the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and include a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking institutions. In terms of quality of capital, the final rules emphasize common equity Tier 1 capital and implement strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments. The final rules also change the methodology for calculating risk-weighted assets to enhance risk sensitivity. The requirements in the rules begin to phase in on January 1, 2015 for covered banking organizations such as the Bank. The requirements in the rules will be fully phased in by January 1, 2019. The ultimate impact of the new capital standards on the Bank is currently being reviewed.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

The effect of relative purchasing power over time due to inflation has not been taken into account in our consolidated financial statements. Rather, our financial statements have been prepared on ana historical cost basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Unlike most industrial companies, ~~our~~the assets and liabilities of financial institutions such as our bank subsidiary are primarily monetary in nature. Therefore, ~~the effect of changes in~~ interest rates ~~will~~ have a more significant ~~impact~~effect on our performance than ~~will~~do the ~~effect~~general rate of ~~changing prices~~inflation and ~~inflation in general.~~of goods and services.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Through our operations, we have made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of ~~our~~ business activities.��These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to our customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. At ~~September 30, 2013~~March 31, 2014, we had issued commitments to extend credit of ~~$36.5~~$35.9 million and standby letters of credit of ~~$83 thousand~~$0.1 million through various types of commercial lending arrangements.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates and it principally arises from interest rate risk inherent in our lending, investing, deposit gathering, and borrowing activities. Other types of market risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not generally arise in the normal course of our business. Our finance committee monitors and considers methods of managing exposure to interest rate risk. We have both an internal finance committee consisting of senior management and directors that meets at various times during each quarter and a management finance committee that meets weekly as needed. The finance committees are responsible for maintaining the level of interest rate sensitivity of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities within board-approved limits.

We actively monitor and manage our interest rate risk exposure principally by measuring our interest sensitivity "gap," which is the positive or negative dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to interest rate repricing within a given period of time. Interest rate sensitivity can be managed by repricing assets or liabilities, selling securities available for sale, replacing an asset or liability at maturity, or adjusting the interest rate during the life of an asset or liability. Managing the amount of assets and liabilities repricing in this same time interval helps to hedge the risk and minimize the impact on net interest income of rising or falling interest rates. We generally would benefit from increasing market rates of interest when we have an asset-sensitive gap position and generally would benefit from decreasing market rates of interest when we are liability-sensitive.

We were liability sensitive during the year ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013 and during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2013.~~March 31, 2014. As of ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, we expect to be liability sensitive for the next ~~twelve~~nine months because a majority of our deposits reprice over a 12-month period. Approximately ~~32%~~33% of our loans were variable rate loans at ~~September 30, 2013.~~March 31, 2014. The ratio of cumulative gap to total earning assets after 12 months was a negative ~~40.72%~~44.69% because ~~$125.1~~$137.0 million more liabilities will reprice in a 12-month period than assets. However, our gap analysis is not a precise indicator of our interest ~~rate~~ sensitivity position. The analysis presents only a static view of the timing of maturities and repricing opportunities, without taking into consideration that changes in interest rates do not affect all assets and liabilities equally. For example, rates paid on a substantial portion of core deposits may change contractually within a relatively short time frame, but those rates are viewed by us as significantly less interest-sensitive than market-based rates such as those paid on noncore deposits. Net interest income may be affected by other significant factors in a given interest rate environment, including changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

Liquidity represents the ability of a company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and the ability to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves monitoring our sources and use of funds in order to meet our day-to-day cash flow requirements while maximizing profits. Liquidity management is made more complicated because different balance sheet components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of securities in our investment portfolio is fairly predictable and is subject to a high degree of control at the time investment decisions are made. However, net deposit inflows and outflows are far less predictable and are not subject to the same degree of control.

-38-

At ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, our liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents amounted to ~~$25.8~~$21.2 million, or ~~7.13%~~6.01% of total assets. Our investment securities, excluding nonmarketable securities, at ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, amounted to ~~$51.2~~$46.9 million, or ~~14.16%~~13.26% of total assets. Investment securities traditionally provide a secondary source of liquidity since they can be converted into cash in a timely manner. However, ~~$12.9~~$15.5 million of these securities were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and borrowings as of ~~September 30, 2013.~~March 31, 2014. At December 31, ~~2012,~~2013, our liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, amounted to ~~$38.1~~$18.2 million, or ~~9.10%~~5.13% of total assets. Our investment securities, excluding nonmarketable securities, at December 31, ~~2012~~2013 amounted to ~~$60.1~~$49.1 million, or ~~14.36%~~13.81% of total assets. Investment securities traditionally provide a secondary source of liquidity since they can be converted into cash in a timely manner. However, ~~$14.9~~$17.2 million of these securities were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and borrowings as of December 31, ~~2012.~~

2013.

Our ability to maintain and expand our deposit base and borrowing capabilities serves as our primary source of liquidity. For the near future, it is our intention to reduce the use of wholesale funding to fund loan demand, instead relying on lower-cost funding sources, particularly core deposits. We plan to meet our future cash needs through the liquidation of temporary investments, the generation of deposits, and from additional borrowings. In addition, we will receive cash upon the maturity and sale of loans and the maturity of investment securities. At ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, we had a ~~$5.0~~$5.6 million unused line of credit with the Federal Reserve ~~Bank~~ and had sufficient unpledged securities that would have allowed us to borrow an additional ~~$38.3~~$31.3 million from the Federal ~~Reserve Bank.~~Reserve. Also, as member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, (the “FHLB”), we can make applications for borrowings that can be made for leverage purposes. The FHLB requires that securities, qualifying mortgage loans, and stock of the FHLB owned by the ~~bank~~Bank be pledged to secure any advances from them. We have an available line to borrow funds from the FHLB up to 30% of the Bank’s total assets, which provide additional available funds of ~~$113.9~~$106.4 million at ~~September 30, 2013.~~March 31, 2014. At that date the ~~bank~~Bank had drawn ~~$11.0~~$17.0 million on this line. Finally, we had available at March 31, 2014 an unsecured line of credit, which was unused, to purchase up to $10.0 million of federal funds from an unrelated correspondent institution. We believe that the sources described above will be sufficient to meet our future liquidity needs.

	~~-41-~~

The Company is largely dependent upon dividends from the Bank as a source of cash. The Bank MOU restricts the ability of the Bank to declare and pay dividends to the Company. The Company MOU requires the Company to obtain approval of the Federal Reserve ~~Bank~~ prior to declaring dividends. The Federal Reserve did not approve the Company’s request to pay dividends and interest payments relating to its outstanding classes of preferred stock and trust preferred securities due and payable in the ~~third~~fourth quarter of 2011, and such consent has not been granted thereafter, largely out of deference to the Federal Reserve’s policy statement on dividends.

·~~the company’s net income available to shareholders for the preceding four quarters is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends;~~

·~~the prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with the company’s capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition; or~~

·~~the company will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios.~~

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Regulatory Matters” for additional information relating to the Company MOU.

Asset/liability management is the process by which we monitor and control the mix and maturities of our assets and liabilities. The essential purposes of ~~Asset/~~asset/liability management are to ensure adequate liquidity and to maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to minimize potentially adverse impacts on earnings from changes in market interest ~~rates.~~ rates.We have both an internal finance committee consisting of senior management that meets at various times during each quarter and a management finance committee that meets weekly as needed. The finance committees are responsible for maintaining the level of interest rate sensitivity of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities within board-approved limits.

Interest Sensitivity Analysis

The following table sets forth information regarding our rate sensitivity as of ~~September 30, 2013,~~March 31, 2014, for each of the time intervals indicated. The information in the table may not be indicative of our rate sensitivity position at other points in time. In addition, the maturity distribution indicated in the table may differ from the contractual maturities of the earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities presented due to consideration of prepayment speeds under various interest rate change scenarios in the application of the interest rate sensitivity methods described above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market ~~Risk.~~Risk

See "Market Risk" and "Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity" in Item 2, ~~Management~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”). Disclosure Controls, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all ~~error~~errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

-40-

Based upon their controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our Disclosure Controls are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our ~~third~~first fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal ~~Proceedings.~~Proceedings

There are no material, pending legal proceedings to which the Company or its subsidiary is a party or of which any of their property is the subject.

Item 1A. Risk ~~Factors.~~Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2012,~~2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

(a)

On July 31, 2013 (the “Mandatory Conversion Date”), all 2,293 shares of the Company’s 7% Cumulative Mandatorily Convertible Series C Preferred Stock (the “Series C Shares”) converted automatically into 470,829 shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s articles of incorporation, as amended to create the Series C Shares. On the Mandatory Conversion Date, eachSeries C Share was automatically converted into the number of shares of common stock obtained by dividing the initial purchase price per share of $1,000, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends per share, by $5.563, which was the Company‘s tangible common equity per share as of June 30, 2013. A de minimis amount of cash was also paid to each holder of Series C Shares to avoid the issuance of fractional shares as result of the conversion.

Not applicable.

The conversion was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to section 3(a)(9) of the Act, as the conversion was mandatory under the terms of the Series C Shares and no commission or other remuneration was paid for soliciting the exchange.

See “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Regulatory Matters” for a discussion of regulatory restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends.
