NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for a complete presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition of Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Waccamaw Bank (the “Bank”) as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as amended.
Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. is located in Whiteville, North Carolina. Waccamaw Bank, the primary subsidiary of Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. is a state chartered bank operating twelve offices in Whiteville, Wilmington, Shallote, Holden Beach, Chadbourn, Tabor City, Southport (2), Sunset Beach and Elizabethtown, North Carolina. Offices in South Carolina include Conway and Heath Springs. The accounting and reporting polices of the Company and Bank follow generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the financial services industry.
PRESENTATION OF CASH FLOWS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and amounts due from depository institutions (including cash items in process of collection) and interest-bearing deposits with banks which are considered to be cash equivalents. Federal funds sold are shown separately. Cash flows from demand deposits, NOW accounts and savings accounts are reported net since their original maturities are less than three months. Loans and time deposits are reported net per Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 104. Federal funds purchased are shown separately.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investments classified as available for sale can be held for indefinite periods of time and include those securities that management may employ as part of asset/liability strategy or that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, prepayments, regulatory capital requirements or similar factors. These securities are carried at fair value and are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
Investment securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities that the Bank has the ability and intent to hold to maturity. Accordingly, these securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discount, computed by the interest-method over their contractual lives. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Bank had no investments classified as held to maturity.
LOANS
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned fees and an allowance for loan losses.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. The Bank makes continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolio and considers economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, review of specific problem loans and other factors in determining the adequacy of the allowance balance.
Interest on all loans is accrued daily on the outstanding balance. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.
RECLASSIFICATION
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial statements to place them on a comparable basis with the current year. Net income and stockholders' equity previously reported were not affected by these reclassifications.
NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share for the nine months and quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months and the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding.
The following table details the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

At September 30, 2007, the Company had 296,889 warrants outstanding. These warrants were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The bank had 269,899 outstanding warrants at September 30, 2006.
NOTE 3. BALANCE SHEETS
The balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been taken from the audited financial statements at that date.
The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing need of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.
The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the Bank’s commitments at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 is as follows:
| | September 30, 2007 | | December 31, 2006 | |
| | | | | |
Commitment to extend credit | | $ | 49,790,000 | | $ | 68,610,000 | |
Standby letters of credit | | | 1,853,000 | | | 1,825,000 | |

HIGHLIGHTS
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, was $1,120,533 or $.21 per weighted average basic share outstanding compared to a $927,780 net profit or $.18 per weighted average basic share outstanding for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
On September 30, 2007, Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. assets totaled $450,613,654 compared to $399,581,293 on December 31, 2006. Net loans were $342,798,298 compared to $312,253,190 on December 31, 2006. Total deposits
on September 30, 2007 were $366,029,919 compared to $327,351,767 at the end of 2006. Stockholders’ equity after adjustments for unrealized losses on securities available for sale as required by SFAS No. 115 increased by $2,728,608 resulting in a September 30, 2007 book value of $6.17 per common share, up from $5.77 on December 31, 2006.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
INVESTMENTS
The Bank maintains a portfolio of securities as part of its asset/liability and liquidity management programs which emphasize effective yields and maturities to match its needs. The composition of the investment portfolio is examined periodically and appropriate realignments are initiated to meet liquidity and interest rate sensitivity needs for the Bank.
Held to maturity securities are bonds, notes and debentures for which the Bank has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and which are reported at cost, adjusted by premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or to call dates. The Bank had no “Held to Maturity” securities at September 30, 2007 or December 31, 2006.
Available for sale securities are reported at fair value and consist of bonds, notes, debentures and certain equity securities not classified as trading securities or as held to maturity securities.
Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available for sale securities are reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or to call dates.
Declines in the fair value of individual held to maturity and available for sale securities below cost that are other than temporary are reflected as write-downs of the individual securities to fair value. Related write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses.
Investments in available for sale securities of $65,062,262 consisted of corporate securities, municipal securities, U.S. Governmental agencies and mortgage backed securities (MBS) at September 30, 2007. The $14,533,099 increase in investments was due to excess liquidity due to strong deposit growth in the first nine months of 2007.
FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD
Federal funds sold consist of short-term loans to other financial institutions. These loans are made to various financial institutions and were $4,401,000 and $2,598,000 on September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. No single loan exceeds Waccamaw Bank’s legal lending limit.
LOANS
Net loans outstanding on September 30, 2007, were $342,798,298 compared to $312,253,190 on December 31, 2006. The Bank maintains a loan portfolio dominated by real estate and commercial loans diversified among various industries. The $30,545,108 increase in loans was due to stronger real estate and commercial demand due to local economies improving in the areas covered by Waccamaw Bank. This resulted in increased construction and development lending during the first nine months of 2007.
DEPOSITS
Deposits on September 30, 2007, were $366,029,919 compared to $327,351,767 on December 31, 2006. Interest-bearing accounts represented 90.19% of total deposits at September 30, 2007 and 84.98% of total deposits at December 31, 2006.
The significant increase in deposits, necessary to satisfy strong loan demand, was the result of an aggressive marketing and advertising program offering higher deposit rates at the Bank. The decrease in non-interest bearing demand deposits was due to the pay-off of a short-term loan collateralized by a $13 million deposit at year end 2006 and conversion of part of the deposit to an interest-bearing deposit in the first quarter of 2007.
BANK OWNED LIFE INSURANCE
During the first quarter of 2007, the bank purchased additional life insurance policies in the amount of $4,000,000 on both directors and key employees.
LIABILITIES
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase on September 30, 2007, was $6,344,000 compared to $5,410,000 on December 31, 2006. Long-term debt at September 30, 2007 was $30,500,000 compared to $23,500,000 on December 31, 2006 as all long-term debt is funded by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Short-term borrowings at September 30, 2007 was $2,000,000 and no short-term borrowings on December 31, 2006 as all short-term borrowings are funded by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and mature within one year.
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. maintains a strong capital position which exceeds all capital adequacy requirements of Federal regulatory authorities. Total stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2007 was $34,431,238 compared to $31,702,630 at December 31, 2006. This $2,728,608 increase was largely due to operating profits of $3,196,660. The Bank exceeds all capital requirements under the leverage guidelines.
The Company declared an 11-for-10 stock split in the form of a 10% stock dividend payable on September 18, 2007 to the shareholders of record on September 2, 2007. To effect the split, the Company’s issued and outstanding stock was increased by 491,583 shares. The fair value of the stock dividend was transferred from retained earnings to common stock in the amount of $5,921,341. All references to the number of common shares and per share amounts in the financial statements have been restated as appropriate to reflect the effect of the split for all periods presented.
ASSET QUALITY
The provision for possible loan losses charged to operations was $385,864 in the first nine months of 2007 and $1,090,000 for the same period of 2006. During the first nine months of 2007, a previously nonperforming loan paid off. The Company had expensed $500,000 to establish a specific reserve for the impaired loan. In the second quarter of 2007, the Company recovered $387,553 on the loan. Excluding this recovery, the Company would have recognized $773,417 as provision expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 due to increased loan demand. The allowance for loan losses on September 30, 2007, was $5,504,300 or 1.58% of period end loans compared to 1.54% at December 31, 2006.
The level of reserve is established based upon management’s evaluation of portfolio composition, current and projected national and local economic conditions and results of independent reviews of the loan portfolio by internal and external examination. Management recognizes the inherent risk associated with commercial and consumer lending, including whether or not a borrower’s actual results of operations will correspond to those projected by the borrower when the loan was funded, economic factors such as the number of housing starts and fluctuations in interest rates, etc., depression of collateral values, and completion of projects within the original cost and time estimates. As a result, management continues to actively monitor the Bank’s asset quality and lending policies. Management believes that its loan portfolio is diversified so that a downturn in a particular market or industry will not have a significant impact on the loan portfolio or the Bank’s financial condition.
Management believes that its reserve offers an appropriate allowance for probable loan losses incurred at the date of the financial statements.
At September 30, 2007 the Bank had $1,101,595 loans in nonaccrual status as compared to $2,085,042 at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2007 there were $29,784 in repossessed assets and there were no repossessed assets at September 30, 2006.
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006
The Company reported net income of $1,120,533 or $.21 per basic share and $.20 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared with net income of $927,780 or $.18 per basic share and $.18 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $192,753 or 20.78% in net income. The Company had moderate increases in net interest income in the third quarter of 2007 as compared to the third quarter of 2006, as these increases were due to growth in interest earning assets. The Company has incurred additional non-interest expenses both as a result of normal growth from period to period, and also as a result of additional hiring and other costs incurred as a result of the branch expansion during 2006 and 2007.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Like most financial institutions, the primary component of earnings for the Company is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest earned on loans, the investment portfolio and interest earning deposits and the cost of funds, consisting primarily of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread and margin. For this purpose, volume refers to the average dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Margin is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as by levels of non interest-bearing liabilities and stockholders’ equity.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the net interest income of the Bank was $3,917,024 compared to $3,775,027 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in net interest income can primarily be attributed to moderate growth in interest earning assets.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company expensed $8,417 as the provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2007, as compared to the $470,000 provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2006. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by Management. Management considers the current level of the loan loss allowance to be satisfactory based on loan volume, the current level of delinquencies, other non-performing assets, prevailing economic conditions and other factors that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was due to the significant increase in real estate and commercial loan demand in the third quarter of 2006 versus the moderate loan increase in the third quarter of 2007.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income totaled $833,048 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared with $676,905 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase of approximately $156,000 in total non-interest income for the current quarter was the result of realized gains of approximately $49,000 through the sale of an investment in the third quarter of 2007, increases of approximately $35,000 in services charges on deposit accounts, increases in other operating income of approximately $35,000 and increases of earnings on bank owned life insurance of approximately $50,000. A decrease of approximately $13,000 in net servicing fees from mortgage origination income made up the difference in the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Non-interest expenses totaled approximately $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of approximately $512,000 or 20.07% over the approximately $2.5 million reported for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Substantially all of this increase resulted from the Bank’s growth and development, and reflects the additional expenses in the current quarter associated with new hires and the opening of two new branches. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, personnel costs increased by approximately $291,000, or 20.21% to approximately $1.7 million as compared to approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company provided approximately $559,000 for income taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2007, at an effective tax rate of 33% compared to a provision for income taxes of approximately $504,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 at an effective tax rate of 35%. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective tax rate was due to the income from the additional purchase of bank owned life insurance and additional income from the increase in municipal securities which are exempt from income taxes.
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006
The Company reported net income of $3,196,660 or $.60 per basic share and $.58 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared with net income of $2,661,316 or $.53 per basic share and $.51 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $535,344 or 20.12% in net income.
The Company had moderate increases in net interest income in the first nine months of 2007 as compared to the first nine months of 2006, as these increases were due to growth in interest earning assets. The Company has incurred additional non-interest expenses both as a result of normal growth from period to period, and also as a result of additional hiring and other costs incurred as a result of the branch expansion during 2006 and 2007.
NET INTEREST INCOME
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the net interest income of the Bank was approximately $11.7 million compared to approximately $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in net interest income can primarily be attributed to moderate growth in loans and investments.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company expensed $385,864 to the provision for loan losses in the first nine months of 2007 which was offset by a recovery of $387,553 as discussed in Asset Quality, as compared to the $1,090,000 provision for loan losses in the first nine months of 2006. Provisions for loan losses are charged to income to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management. Management considers the current level of the loan loss allowance to be satisfactory based on loan volume, the current level of delinquencies, other non-performing assets, prevailing economic conditions and other factors that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income totaled approximately $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared with approximately $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. A significant portion of the increase of approximately $635,000 in total non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was realized gains of approximately $256,000 through the sale of three investments in the nine months ending September 30, 2007. Increases of approximately $74,000 in net servicing fees from mortgage origination income, increases of approximately $73,000 in services charges on deposit accounts, increases in other operating income of approximately $124,000 and increases of earnings on bank owned life insurance of approximately $107,000 made up the additional difference in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSES
Non-interest expenses totaled approximately $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of approximately $2.1 million or 30.12% over the approximately $6.9 million reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Substantially all of this increase resulted from the Bank’s growth and development, and reflects the additional expenses in the current year associated with new hires and the opening of two new branches. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, personnel costs increased by approximately $1.1 million, or 29.10% to approximately $5.0 million as compared to approximately $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company provided $1,696,735 for income taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, at a tax rate of 35% compared to a provision for income taxes of $1,660,468 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 at a tax rate of 38%. The primary reason for the decrease in the effective tax rate was due to the income from the additional purchase of bank owned life insurance and additional income from the increase in municipal securities which are exempt from income taxes.
INTEREST SENSITIVITY AND LIQUIDITY
One of the principal duties of the Bank’s Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) is management of interest rate risk. The Bank utilizes quarterly asset/liability reports prepared by a regional correspondent bank to project the impact on net interest income that might occur with hypothetical interest rate changes. The committee monitors and manages asset and liability strategies and pricing.
Another function of the ALCO is maintaining adequate liquidity and planning for future liquidity needs. Having adequate liquidity means the ability to meet current needs, including deposit withdrawals and commitments, in an orderly manner without sacrificing earnings. The Bank funds its investing activities, including making loans and purchasing investments, by attracting deposits and utilizing short-term borrowings when necessary.
At September 30, 2007, the liquidity position of the Bank was strong, with short-term liquid assets of $64,527,000 or 14.32% of total assets.

Amounts herein could vary as a result of market and other factors. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, which include, but are not limited to, factors discussed in documents filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s profitability is dependent to a large extent upon its net interest income, which is the difference between its interest income on interest-bearing assets, such as loans and investments, and its interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company’s primary market risk is interest rate risk, which is the result of differing maturities or repricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with the goals of minimizing interest rate fluctuations in its net interest income.
The Company’s ALCO meets on a monthly basis in order to assess interest rate risk, liquidity, capital and overall balance sheet management through rate shock analysis measuring various interest rate scenarios over the future 12 months. Through ALCO, the Company is able to determine fluctuations to net interest income from changes in the Prime Rate of up to 300 basis points up or down during a 12-month period. ALCO also reviews policies and procedures related to funds management and interest rate risk based on local, national and global economic conditions along with funding strategies and balance sheet management to minimize the potential impact of earnings and liquidity from interest rate movements.
Additional information regarding interest rate risk is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company has not had any material changes in the overall interest rate risk since December 31, 2006.
