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 the management, the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition of Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, Waccamaw Bank (the “Bank”) as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and its cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 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-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. is located in Whiteville, North Carolina. The accounting and policies of the Company and Bank follow generally accepted accounting principles and practices within the financial services industry.
Presentation of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash and amounts due from depository institutions (including cash items in process of collection) which are considered to be cash equivalents. Overnight interest bearing deposits, and 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 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 March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 2. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of dilutive shares outstanding.
Note 3. Balance Sheets
The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 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 March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 is as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2005
| | December 31, 2004
|
Commitment to extend credit | | $ | 48,324,000 | | $ | 47,127,000 |
Standby letters of credit | | | 309,000 | | | 371,000 |
Note 4. Subsequent Events

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
This discussion, analysis and related financial information are presented to explain the significant factors which affected Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. financial condition and results of operations for the three months ending March 31, 2005 and 2004. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in this report.
Waccamaw Bank is a North Carolina state chartered bank, and is located in Whiteville, North Carolina. The Bank began operations on September 2, 1997. Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. acquired all outstanding shares of Waccamaw Bank on July 1, 2001.
Highlights
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was $655,665 or $.14 per average share outstanding compared to a $565,769 net profit or $.13 per share outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.
On March 31, 2005, Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. assets totaled $289,510,886 compared to $258,412,441 on December 31, 2004. Net loans were $222,166,129 compared to $206,666,022 on December 31, 2004. Total deposits on March 31, 2005 were $235,545,730 compared to $207,641,694 at the end of 2004. Stockholders’ equity after adjustments for unrealized losses on securities available for sale as required by FASB 115 increased by $508,600 resulting in a March 31, 2005 book value of $4.50 per share, up from $4.39 on December 31, 2004.
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 March 31, 2005 or December 31, 2004.
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 $29,240,000 consisted of corporate securities, municipal securities, U.S. Government agencies and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) at March 31, 2005.
6
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 $17,162,000 and $4,529,000 on March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. No single loan exceeds Waccamaw Bank’s legal lending limit.
Loans
Net loans outstanding on March 31, 2005, were $222,166,129 compared to $206,666,022 on December 31, 2004. The Bank maintains a loan portfolio dominated by real estate and commercial loans diversified among various industries. The $15,500,107 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 during the first three months of 2005.
Deposits
Deposits on March 31, 2005, were $235,545,730 compared to $207,641,694 on December 31, 2004. Interest-bearing accounts represented 90.82% at March 31, 2005 and 90.82% at December 31, 2004.
Liabilities
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase on March 31, 2005, were $5,394,000 compared to $3,268,000 on December 31, 2004. The $2,126,000 increase was due to increases in local town municipalities and school district funding. Long-term debt on March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $18,500,000 as all long-term debt is funded by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
Stockholders’ Equity
Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. maintains a strong capital position which exceeds all capital adequacy requirements of Federal regulatory authorities. Total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2005 was $20,407,154 compared to $19,898,557 at December 31, 2004. This $508,600 increase was partly due to operating profits of $655,665 during the first quarter of 2005. The Bank also exceeds all capital requirements under the leverage guidelines.
For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the operating profit of the Bank was $655,665 compared to a $565,769 profit for the three months ended March 31, 2004.
There have been no cash dividends declared during 2005. On September 30, 2004, a 2 for 1 stock split was paid to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2004. On May 14, 2004 a 6 for 5 stock split was paid to shareholders of record as of April 30, 2004. As a result, all share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the split.
Asset Quality
The provision for possible loan losses charged to operations was $225,000 in the first quarter 2005 and $150,000 in the first quarter of 2004. The reserve for loan losses on March 31, 2005, was $2,912,144 or 1.29% of period end loans. The increase in the loan loss provision was due to stronger loan growth at the end of 2004 and the first three months of 2005.
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 provision and reserve offer an adequate allowance for future loan losses and provide a sound reserve for the loan portfolio.
7
At March 31, 2005 the Bank had $1,722,590 loans in nonaccrual status as compared to $2,167,903 at March 31, 2004. There were no repossessed assets at March 31, 2005 and $78,059 at March 31, 2004.

Net income was $655,665, or $0.14 per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 as compared to $565,769, or $0.13 per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The improvement in net income can be attributed to net interest income increasing from $1,719,961 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to $2,285,287 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in non interest income of approximately $47,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was attributable to income from a mortgage banking investee that was sold by the Company during 2004, and commissions on bank owned life insurance in the first quarter of 2004 that did not occur in the first quarter of 2005. The increase in non interest expense of approximately $280,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 was attributable to increases in personnel expense of approximately $148,000 and data processing expense of approximately $59,000.
Interest Sensitivity and Liquidity
One of the principal duties of the Bank’s Asset/Liability Management Committee 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 Asset/Liability Committee 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 March 31, 2005, the liquidity position of the Bank was strong, with short-term liquid assets of $36,287,000 or 12.53% of total assets.

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 Asset/Liability Committee (“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 of Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company has not had any material changes in the overall interest rate risk since December 31, 2004.
