[Letterhead of Cherry Bekaert & Holland]
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Participants and Administrator of the
Citizens South Bank Employees’ Savings & Profit Sharing Plan
Gastonia, North Carolina
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Citizens South Bank Employees’ Savings & Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements of the Plan based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements of the Plan, referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Citizens South Bank Employees’ Savings & Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General - The Plan is a defined contribution plan that covers all full-time employees of Citizens South Bank (the “Company”) who have completed three months of service and have attained the age of 18 years. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Contributions - Each year participants may contribute any percentage of pretax annual compensation to the Plan, not to exceed the lesser of 75% of Plan Salary (defined as the employee’s basic salary rate, plus overtime, bonus, and commissions) or the annual maximum contribution as defined by United States Treasury Regulations. Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the Plan year are eligible to make catch-up contributions in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, Section 414(v) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution plans. Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Company may make matching contributions equal to a discretionary percentage determined by the Company. On February 23, 2009, the Board of Directors of Citizens South Bank suspended the employer match to the employee’s 401(k) Plan effective March 1, 2009. The Company may also make profit-sharing contributions to the Plan at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Profit-sharing contributions are allocated to participants in the same ratio as a participant’s compensation, as defined, bears to the total compensation of all participants. Profit sharing contributions were not made for 2010. All contributions are subject to certain limitations.
Participant Accounts - Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, and allocations of (a) the Company’s contributions and (b) plan earnings, and charged with the participant’s withdrawals and an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
Investments - Participants direct the investment of their contributions into up to 27 various investment options offered by the Plan. Company contributions are automatically invested in the same investment options directed for the investment of the employee contributions. If no investment direction is given, all contributions from participants and the Company are invested in the Short Term Investment Fund, which is one of the Plan’s bond/fixed income funds. The Plan currently offers ten target retirement funds, eight stock funds, five bond/fixed income funds, three asset allocation funds, and the Citizens South Banking

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)
Investments (continued) - Corporation (CSBC) Employer Stock Fund as investment options for participants. The CSBC Employer Stock Fund is managed by Reliance Trust Company, as Trustee. State Street Global Advisors is the investment manager for all other funds and is the provider of benchmark index returns. Participants may change or transfer their investment options at any time via telephone or the internet or by written request via fax or mail. The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 was adopted by the Plan effective September 1, 2009.
Vesting - Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions to the Plan, plus investment earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company matching and discretionary profit sharing contributions of their accounts is based on years of continuous service. A participant is fully vested after three years of service (cliff vesting) or upon death, approved disability, or attainment of age 65 while employed with the Company. Any years of employment prior to attaining the age of 18 are excluded for vesting purposes. Employment with previously acquired companies is included for the purpose of vesting.
Notes Receivable from Participants - Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to the lesser of a maximum of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested account balance, reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance(s) from the Plan during the preceding 12 months. The loans are secured by the balances in the participant’s accounts and bear interest at the Barron’s Prime Rate plus 1%, fixed on the date of the disbursement of the loan, which is deemed to be based upon prevailing interest rates charged by persons in the business of lending money for loans which would be made under similar circumstances. Pentegra Retirement Services, Inc. collects from the participant a $50.00 origination fee and a $40.00 annual administration fee that are subtracted from the participant’s account. Principal and interest are paid ratably through semi-monthly payroll deductions and credited to the loan account monthly.
Payment of Benefits - Upon termination of service and upon application, a participant will receive a lump-sum distribution equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account. If no such request is made, distribution is made at normal retirement age.
Forfeitures - At December 31, 2010 and 2009, forfeited non-vested accounts derived from employer contributions were $9,747 and $3,321, respectively. Forfeited non-vested accounts derived from employer matching contributions accounts may be used to reduce future employer matching contributions or may be allocated to participants as profit sharing contributions.
Forfeited non-vested accounts derived from the Company’s profit sharing contributions may be added to any Company profit-sharing contributions or allocated to participants as additional profit sharing contributions. Forfeited contributions are allocated to participants in the same ratio as a participant’s compensation bears to the total compensation of all participants. During 2010, $0 of forfeited non-vested accounts derived from employer contributions were allocated to participants.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES
Basis of Accounting - The Plan’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the plan administrator and plan sponsor to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value in accordance with GAAP as detailed in Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements. Fair market value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value.
GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date;
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value can be determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies; and
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability and the reporting entity makes estimates and assumptions related to the pricing of the asset or liability including assumptions regarding risk.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Mutual Funds - These investments are public investment vehicles valued using the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV is generally a quoted price in an active market and classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. There were no mutual funds held by the Plan as of December 31, 2010.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition (continued) –
Collective Investment Trusts - These investments are public investment vehicles valued using the NAV provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. Investments and other portfolio instruments are generally valued using a market approach. With respect to the underlying funds, equity investments for which market quotations are readily available (including registered investment companies that are exchange traded) are valued at the last reported sale price on their principal exchange on valuation date, or official close price for certain markets. If no sales are reported for that day, investments are valued at the last published sale price, the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, or at fair value determined in good faith by the trustee. The NAV is generally classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy because the NAV’s unit price is quoted on a private market that is not active; however, the unit price is based on underlying investments which are traded on an active market.
Citizens South Banking Corporation Employer Stock Fund - These investments were Citizens South Banking Corporation (CSBC) common stock which was transferred into a CSBC Employer Stock Fund. The fund consists principally of common stock of CSBC which is valued at the closing price reported on the NASDAQ Global Market, and accordingly, has been included within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.
Interest Bearing Cash Funds - These investments are public investment vehicles valued using $1 for the NAV. The money market funds are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments.
Notes receivable from participants - Notes receivable from participants are stated at unpaid principal balances plus accrued interest. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the plan document.
Risks and uncertainties - The Plan utilizes various investment securities including corporate stocks. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Administrative expenses - Except for certain third party administration fees, which are paid by the Company, all other administrative expenses are paid by the Plan.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)
Benefit Payments - Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to improve disclosures regarding fair value measurements. This update requires entities to (i) disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers and (ii) present separately (i.e., on a gross basis rather than as one net number), information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of changes in Level 3 fair value measurements. The update requires fair value disclosures by class of assets and liabilities rather than by major category or line item in the statements of net assets. Disclosures regarding the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for assets and liabilities in both Level 2 and Level 3 are also required. For all portions of the update except the gross presentation of activity in Level 3 roll forward, this standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. For the gross presentation of activity in the Level 3 roll forward, this guidance if effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. As this guidance is only disclosure related, it did not have any changes to the carrying value of the investments on the statements of net assets as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
On September 16, 2010, the FASB issued guidance on reporting loans to participants by defined contribution pension plans whereby participant loans are to be reclassified from plan investments to notes receivable for GAAP purposes and measured at unpaid principal balance plus accrued but unpaid interest. This guidance is effective for Plan years ending after December 15, 2010. The Plan adopted this change in accounting method as of January 1, 2010, and the comparative Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits as of December 31, 2009, has been adjusted to apply the new method retrospectively. The Plan's Net Assets Available for Benefits was not impacted by the change in accounting principle.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS
The Plan’s investments that represented five percent or more of the Plan’s net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:
| | | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
| Citizens South Banking Corporation Employer Stock Fund, 141,591 and 144,399 units, respectively | | $ | 1,850,208 | | | $ | 1,865,670 | |
| Pentegra Retirement Services Stable Value Fund, 85,371 and 71,985 units, respectively | | | 1,035,546 | | | | 842,149 | |
| State Street Global Advisors S&P 500 Stock Fund, 1,884 and 1,858 units, respectively | | | 491,836 | | | | 421,183 | |

| State Street Government Bond Fund, 26,172 and 25,694 units, respectively | | | 363,057 | | | | 325,751 | |
* Investment did not exceed five percent of net assets available for benefits at year-end.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Plan’s investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated in value as follows:
| Employer Stock Fund | | $ | 30,493 | |
| Other investments (collective investment trusts, interest bearing cash funds) | | | 504,858 | |
| Net appreciation in fair value of investments | | $ | 535,351 | |
NOTE 5 – EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are shares of collective investment trusts and company stock managed by Reliance Trust Company. Reliance Trust Company is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan for investment management services were included as a reduction of the return earned on each fund.
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Plan held 141,591 and 144,399 units, respectively, of Employer Stock fund containing shares of stock of Citizens South Banking Corporation, the parent Company of the sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of $2,052,949 and $2,093,234, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Plan recorded dividend income of $961 related to this investment.

NOTE 6 – PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event that the Plan is terminated, participants would become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
NOTE 7 – FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company has adopted, and from time to time has amended, a non-standardized form for a prototype profit sharing plan sponsored by Pentegra Services, Inc. The prototype plan has received an opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated March 8, 2010, as to the prototype plan’s qualified status. The prototype plan opinion letter has been relied on by this Plan. The Plan Administrator believes the Plan is designed and is being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and has no income subject to unrelated business income tax and therefore, the Plan and related trust continue to be tax-exempt.
GAAP requires Plan Management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Plan Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2010, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to audit by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Plan Management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.
NOTE 8 – RECONCILIATION TO FORMS 5500
The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements to the Forms 5500 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
