This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such Form 10-K.

Note 2 – Net Income Per Share

Basic and diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised, resulting in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income of Bancshares.

Impaired loans and related information are summarized in the following tables (in thousands):

	September 30		December 31
	2006		2005
Loans specifically identified as impaired	$	9,069	$	8,937
Allowance for loan losses associated with impaired loans	$	1,120	$	1,101

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

	2006		2005		2006		2005
Average balances of impaired loans	$	8,768	$	7,357	$	8,521	$	6,141
Interest income recorded for impaired loans	$	123	$	134	$	392	$	283

Bancshares’ policy for impaired loan accounting subjects all loans to impairment recognition except for large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans such as credit card, residential mortgage and consumer loans. Bancshares generally considers loans 90 days or more past due and all nonaccrual loans to be impaired. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized consistent with Bancshares’ income recognition policy of daily accrual of income until the loan is determined to be uncollectible and placed in a nonaccrual status.

An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses follows (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30
	2006			2005
Balance, beginning of period	$	8,440		$	7,962
Provision for loan losses		2,583			2,314
Recoveries of amounts previously charged off		902			385
Loans charged off		(3,464	)		(1,977	)
Balance, end of period	$	8,461		$	8,684

At September 30, 2006, loans totaling $15,314,000 were held for sale stated at the lower of cost or market on an individual basis.

Note 5 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans” (“SFAS 158”), which is an amendment of SFAS Nos. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R). SFAS 158 requires that employers recognize the funded status of their defined benefit and other postretirement plans as an asset or liability on their balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to “Other Comprehensive Income” effective at the end of 2006. Bancshares and their actuaries are currently studying the impact of SFAS 158 and plan to adopt it during the fourth quarter of 2006. The effect on Bancshares’ balance sheet at September 30, 2006 is unknown. SFAS 158 does not require any income statement adjustments.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 156”), which is an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (“SFAS 140”). SFAS 156 deals with the

11

servicing of financial assets and liabilities. This applies to Bancshares’ sales and servicing of mortgage loans. The Statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. This was also required under SFAS 140 and therefore already implemented by Bancshares. The Statement now permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for subsequent measurement. Previously, the only subsequent method available was the amortization method which calls for amortizing servicing assets or liabilities in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or loss and assess servicing assets or liabilities for impairment or increased obligation based on fair value at each reporting date. The fair value measurement method measures servicing assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting date and reports changes in fair value in earnings in the period in which the changes occur. Since Bancshares is not using any derivative instruments to mitigate risk associated with their mortgage servicing rights they will continue to use the amortization method upon adoption of SFAS 156 on January 1, 2007. Bancshares believes that adopting SFAS 156 will not result in any material effect on their financial position or operating results since Bancshares will still be using the amortization method.

On November 3, 2005, FASB agreed to issue FSP FAS 115-1 / FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” which will replace the guidance previously set forth in EITF 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. This FSP effectively eliminates the accounting guidance provided in EITF 03-1 in favor of existing impairment recognition guidance under SFAS No. 115, SAB No. 59, APB No. 18, and EITF Topic D-44. The FSP is for periods beginning after December 15, 2005. Its adoption has not had any material impact on Bancshares’ consolidated financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), which is a revision of SFAS 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”). SFAS 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be valued at fair value on the date of grant, and to be expensed over the applicable vesting period. In addition, compensation cost for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding on the effective date of SFAS 123(R) must be recognized on or after the effective date, as the related services are rendered, based on the awards’ grant date fair value as previously calculated for the pro forma disclosure under APB 25. SFAS 123(R) is effective for all stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006 and Bancshares implemented SFAS 123(R) as of January 1, 2006. See Note 6 for disclosure.

Note 6 – Stock Compensation Plans

Effective January 1, 2006, Bancshares adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with SFAS 123(R),using the modified prospective method of transition. Under the provisions of SFAS 123(R), the estimated fair value of share based awards granted under the Comprehensive Benefit Plan, discussed in the 2005 Form 10-K, is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. Using the modified prospective method, compensation expense is recognized beginning with the effective date of adoption of SFAS 123(R) for all share based payments (i) granted after the effective date of adoption and (ii) granted prior to the effective date of adoption and that remain unvested on the date of adoption.

Prior to January 1, 2006, Bancshares accounted for stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting in accordance with APB 25, and its related interpretations. Under the provisions of APB 25, no compensation expense was recognized when stock options were granted with exercise prices equal to or greater than market value on the date of grant.

12

Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 123(R), Bancshares recorded $42,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, and $126,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, of total stock-based compensation expense for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The stock-based compensation expense is calculated on a ratable basis over the vesting periods of the related options. This expense had no impact on Bancshares’ reported cash flows. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005, Bancshares recorded no stock compensation expense pursuant to APB 25. The stock-based compensation expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 is reported under personnel expense.

Under the modified prospective method of transition under SFAS 123(R), Bancshares is not required to restate its prior period financial statements to reflect expensing of share-based compensation under SFAS 123(R). Therefore, the results as of September 30, 2006 are not directly comparable to the same period in the prior year.

As required by SFAS 123(R), Bancshares has presented pro forma disclosures of its net income and net income per share for the prior year period assuming the estimated fair value of the options granted prior to January 1, 2006 was amortized to expense over the option-vesting period as illustrated below (In thousands, except per share amounts).

For purposes of the disclosures in the foregoing table and for purposes of determining estimated fair value under SFAS 123(R), Bancshares has computed the estimated fair values of all share-based compensation using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and has applied the assumptions set forth in the 2005 Form 10-K filed March 15, 2006. There have been no additional options granted during 2006. As of September 30, 2006, there was $195,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock option arrangements granted under the Comprehensive Benefit Plan. This expense will be fully amortized in December of 2010.

Note 8 – Derivatives

Bancshares began using derivatives in the fourth quarter of 2005. The derivatives are being used in conjunction with the Bank’s sale of Indexed Certificates of Deposits (“ICD’s”). ICDs pay no periodic interest payments. Rather, under the ICD’s, interest, if any, is paid at maturity and is calculated based on the positive price movements, if any, of the Dow Jones Industrial Average^SM (“DJIA”) over the entire term of the ICD. The goal is to curtail the interest rate risk of the ICD to the Bank by engaging in “perfectly matched” hedges or option contracts tied to the underlying index with creditworthy hedge providers who will support the inherent performance of the ICD at maturity of the issuances.

This approach will mitigate any exposure to unintended market risk and essentially fix Bancshares’ cost of funds at inception for the term of the ICD without concern over the performance of the DJIA. Bancshares has also considered the risk associated with any default in payment by the hedge providers. This risk is mitigated by all hedge providers having investment grade ratings. If the hedge providers fall below an investment grade rating collateral must be posted. Bancshares will also be using multiple hedge providers to spread the risk and providers are all publicly traded and have been in operation over 60 years.

Introduction

Bancshares is a bank holding company headquartered in Lexington, North Carolina. Its principal assets are all of the outstanding shares of common stock of its commercial bank subsidiary. Founded in 1949, the Bank operates as a North Carolina chartered commercial bank serving customers through twenty-six offices in seventeen communities located in Davidson, Forsyth, Stokes, Guilford, Randolph and Wake Counties in North Carolina. The benefits of a new Bank training infrastructure were realized during 2005 and are constantly being improved to meet the training needs of our employees. Additionally, the Bank’s Model Branch initiative, which is standardizing the tools and procedures in the branches, should provide branch sales and service employees with even better tools for increased sales, improved customer service and operational efficiencies. In this regard, the installation of a state-of-the-art Enterprise Relationship Management System, which was completed in the first quarter of 2006, and training of all employees completed during the third quarter, will become the primary sales and service platform used by all of Bancshares’ customer service employees. The Bank is also building its new Archdale office which will be a full service branch and will replace the current temporary location. Through the Bank and the Bank’s two non-bank subsidiaries, Peoples Finance and LSBIS, Bancshares provides a wide range of financial services to individuals and corporate customers.

Bancshares’ results of operations are dependent primarily on the results of operations of the Bank and thus are dependent to a significant extent on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on the Bank’s loan and investment portfolios and its cost of funds, consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by Bancshares’ provision for loan losses, mortgage loan sales activities, service charges and other fee income, and noninterest expense. Bancshares’ noninterest expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, professional fees, and advertising and business promotion expenses. Bancshares’ results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

The Bank (and Bancshares as its holding company) faces competition in both the attraction of deposit accounts and in the origination of mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans. Its most direct competition for deposits has historically derived from other commercial banks located in and around the counties in which it maintains banking offices. The Bank also competes for deposits with both regional and super-regional banks, and money market instruments and mutual funds. The Bank competes for loans principally through the interest rates and loan fees it charges and the efficiency and quality of services it provides borrowers. Its competition for loans also comes principally from other commercial banks, including offices of regional and super-regional banks, located in and around the counties in which it maintains banking offices. Competition for deposits and loans is likely to continue to increase as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and the continuing trend of consolidation in the financial services industry. Technological advances, for example, have lowered barriers to market entry, allowed banks to expand their geographic reach by providing services over the Internet and made it possible for non-depository institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been provided by banks. Legislation permits affiliation among banks, securities firms and insurance companies, and further legislation will likely continue to change the competitive environment in which Bancshares does business.

The following discussion and analysis is presented on a consolidated basis and focuses on the major components of Bancshares’ operations and significant changes in its results of operations for the periods

16

presented. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the 2005 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank and its subsidiaries comply with GAAP and conform to standards within the industry. The preparation of the financial information contained in this Form 10-Q requires Bancshares’ management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Bancshares’ management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to allowance for loan loss and pension and post retirement benefit plans to employees. Except with respect to changes in the manner in which Bancshares accounts for share based compensation, as discussed below, there have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies as discussed in greater detail in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2006.

Stock-Based Compensation.On January 1, 2006 Bancshares adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation using the modified prospective method of transition as outlined in SFAS 123(R). Under SFAS 123(R), the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation is recognized as compensation expense. The estimated fair value of stock options is expensed on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the grant. Prior to January 1, 2006, Bancshares accounted for stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting in accordance with APB 25, and its related interpretations. Under the provisions of APB 25, no compensation expense was recognized when stock options were granted with exercise prices equal to or greater than market value on the date of grant.

Under the modified prospective method of transition that Bancshares adopted, compensation expense is recognized beginning with the effective date of adoption for all stock-based payments (i) granted after the effective date of adoption and (ii) granted prior to the effective date of adoption and that remain unvested on the date of adoption. Under the modified prospective method of transition, Bancshares is not required to restate its prior period financial statements to reflect expensing of stock-based compensation under SFAS 123(R). Therefore, the three and nine month results of September 30, 2006 are not directly comparable to the same periods in the prior year. Under SFAS 123(R), Bancshares uses the Black Scholes pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock-based compensation as of the grant date. The Black-Scholes model is highly complex, and dependent upon key data inputs estimated by management. The primary data inputs with the greatest degree of subjective judgment are the estimated lives of the stock-based awards and the estimated volatility of Bancshares’ stock price. The Black-Scholes model is highly sensitive to changes in these two data inputs.

Bancshares has not yet issued any additional options since its adoption of SFAS 123(R). The expense of $42,000 and $126,000 that was recorded during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively, related to the unvested portion of options granted prior to January 1, 2006. See Note 6, Stock Compensation Plans, to the notes to consolidated financial statements for more information about the adoption of SFAS 123(R).

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2005

Net Interest Income

The primary source of earnings for Bancshares is net interest income, which represents the dollar amount by which interest generated from earning assets exceeds the cost of funds. Earning assets consist primarily of loans and investment securities and cost of funds is the interest paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds.

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2006 of $10.792 million decreased $414,000, or 3.7%, compared to $11.206 million for the third quarter of 2005. The decrease was largely attributable to a decline in the net interest margin from 4.92% for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 to 4.70% for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, total deposits were down $2.538 million, or 0.3%, compared to September 30, 2005. The reduction in deposits is due to the decrease in brokered deposits from $35 million as of September 30, 2005 to $10 million as of September 30, 2006. Without the reduction in brokered deposits, deposits grew $22.462 million or 2.9%.

Noninterest Income and Expense

In the third quarter of 2006, noninterest income increased $169,000, or 5.0%, compared with the same period in 2005. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to growth of $136,000, or 9.0%, in other operating income and $24,000, or 1.4%, growth in service charges on deposits over the same period in 2005. For the change in other operating income, please see the table, Other Operating Income and Expenses, on page 21.

In the third quarter of 2006, noninterest expense increased only $113,000, or 1.1%, compared to the same period in 2005. Personnel expense in the third quarter of 2006, consisting of employee salaries and benefits, increased $57,000, or 1.1%, from the same period in 2005. The increase in personnel expense is largely attributable to the following areas: (i) an increase in insurance expense of $46,000 due to higher claims activity during the quarter; (ii) an increase in salary expense of $80,000, or 1.9%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, resulting primarily from increases in annual salaries; (iii) $42,000 of stock option compensation expense incurred during the third quarter of 2006 due to the adoption of FAS123(R); and (iv) an increase in premiums paid for key-employee life insurance of $20,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation of $117,000 for the third quarter of 2006.

For the changes in other operating expenses, please see the table, Other Operating Income and Expenses, on page 21.

(1)	The increase is primarily due to increased debit card purchases which results in merchant fees collected by the Bank.
(2)	The increase is due to an increased volume of investment services and insurance products sold during the quarter.
(3)	The increase is due to increased Trust transactions during the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same period during 2005.
(4)	The decrease is due to a loss on the sale of fixed assets that was recognized in the third quarter of 2006 of $20,000 partially offset by acquisition fees charged by Peoples Finance which were not collected in prior years.
(5)	There were no large advertising campaigns during the third quarter of 2006. The Bank has implemented cost controls that allowed them to reduce advertising expense for the third quarter of 2006.
(6)	The increase is due to Impact ’05 initiatives put in place to improve the Bank’s performance in operations, retail delivery systems and technology. These initiatives include the implementation of a storage area network during the third quarter of 2006 which will greatly decrease downtime related to a disaster or other issue. This system is being leased for 39 months at a cost of $53,000 per month. During 2006 there have also been enhancements to the Bank’s data processing systems and the renewal and license fee costs associated with such enhancements, an upgrade in communication lines to the branches and contingency planning.
(7)	The decrease in postage is due to savings related to outsourcing of deposit statement preparation and mailing.
(9)	The decrease is primarily due to the decreased costs associated with Georgetown, SC. During the third quarter of 2006, there have been minimal expenses related to this property.
(10)	The decrease is primarily due to over draft protection program charge-offs being expenses in the provision for loan loss during 2006, as recommended by bank regulators. In prior years this was charged-off to other expense.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first nine months of 2006 of $32.698 million was up $88,000, or .27%, compared to $32.610 million for the same period of 2005. The slight increase was due to the growth in average earnings assets of 0.4% from September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2006 offset by the decrease in the net interest margin from 4.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to 4.81% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Outstanding loans have been relatively flat for the nine months of 2006 compared to December 31, 2005, and September 30, 2005. Loan demand has been relatively flat, with the exception of residential mortgage lending, due to the on-going economic softness that is affecting the Bank’s customers in many of the markets served. The Bank has begun to aggressively pursue relationships in its growth markets in order to spur more robust loan growth. While these adjustments are not anticipated to have negative impact on net interest income due to anticipated growth in loan volume, it could further reduce the net interest margin.

For the period ended September 30, 2006, total deposits were down $6.989 million, or 0.9%, compared to December 31, 2005, and $2.538 million or 0.3% compared to September 30, 2005. The decrease is due to a decrease in brokered deposits of $25 million during the third quarter of 2006. The Bank did not replace these deposits as they matured in the third quarter. There was an increase in non-interest bearing core deposit growth as of September 30, 2006 compared to December 31, 2005 and September 30, 2005 of 11.4% and 15.0%, respectively.

The decrease in Bancshares’ net interest margin, discussed above, is primarily due to the increasing costs of interest-bearing deposits due to intense competition for those deposit dollars. This is shown in the analysis of the average volume, yields and rates table on the following page.

Noninterest Income and Expense

In the first nine months of 2006, noninterest income increased $211,000, or 2.1%, compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in noninterest income for 2006 was primarily due to growth of $206,000, or 4.1%, in service charges on deposits over the same period in 2005.

In the first nine months of 2006, noninterest expense increased $2.512 million, or 8.5%, compared to the same period in 2005. The year-to-date results for 2006 were affected by the $1.0 million write-down of other real estate owned from $3.0 million to $2.0 million, of the coastal condominium project in Georgetown, SC that the Bank acquired in the second quarter of 2005 through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. This write-down is included in other operating expenses. During the second quarter of 2006, the Bank discovered, for the first time, that a portion of the condominium development assets had not been conveyed to the Bank as the Bank had previously been advised. The Bank is actively pursuing recovery of the losses incurred with this project.

Personnel expense in the first nine months of 2006, consisting of employee salaries and benefits, increased $639,000, or 4.0%, from the same period in 2005. The increase in personnel expense is largely attributable to the following: (i) an increase in salaries of $298,000, or 2.4%, for the year ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily due to annual salary review increases; (ii) an increase in payroll taxes of $63,000 or 6.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005, largely due to the payout of the management incentive during the first quarter of 2006 (there was no management incentive payout during the first quarter of 2005); (iii) an increase in health and life insurance costs of $189,000 or 18.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005; (iv) an increase in premiums paid for key-employee life insurance of $94,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005; and (v) $126,000 of stock option compensation incurred during the first quarter of 2006 due to the adoption of SFAS 123(R). These increases were partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation of $185,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

(1)	The increase is primarily due to increased debit card purchases which results in merchant fees collected by the Bank.
(2)	The decrease is due to a decreased volume of Insurance products sold during 2006.
(3)	The decrease is due to decreased Trust transactions during 2006 compared to 2005.
(4)	The decrease is primarily due to the loss on the sale of two Other Real Estate Owned properties in the first quarter of 2006.
(5)	The increase in 2006 is primarily due to a dividend of $48,000 received from low insurance claims experience during 2004, income received from partnership investments and acquisition fees earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 by Peoples Financial, which fees were not earned in 2005.
(6)	The increase in advertising for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same time period in 2005 is primarily due to a large deposit and Bank branding campaign that were run during the first nine months of 2006 and not during the same time period in 2005.
(7)	The increase is due to Impact ’05 initiatives put in place to improve the Bank’s performance in operations, retail delivery systems and technology. These initiatives include the implementation of a storage area network during the third quarter of 2006 which will greatly decrease downtime related to a disaster or other issue. This system is being leased for 39 months at a cost of $53,000  per month. During 2006 there have also been enhancements to the Bank’s data processing systems and the renewal and license fee costs associated with such enhancements, an upgrade in communication lines to the branches and contingency planning.
(8)	The increase was primarily due to increased consulting expenses of $223,000 largely due to training initiatives; and employment agent fees of $82,000 paid during 2006 related to the hiring of various lender and credit administration positions.
(9)	The decrease in postage is due to savings related to outsourcing of deposit statement preparation and mailing.
(10)	The increase is primarily due to additional supplies purchased during the 2006 related to brochures purchased for campaigns and printing of training materials.
(11)	The increase in 2006 is due to the operating expenses, materials and professional fees to remediate the condominiums discussed in “Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses” on page 26 of this report.
(12)	The OREO write-down of $1.0 million in 2006 relates to the Georgetown, SC property discussed on page 24 under “Noninterest income and expense”.
(13)	The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $235,000 in Business Manager expenses related to the 2006 presentation of expensing amounts related to the third party management of these accounts and not grossing up the expenses and interest income as in prior years and decreases in equity line promotion expenses, security expenses, uncollected loan fees and other miscellaneous expenses during 2006.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

At September 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $8.461 million, or 1.11%, of loans outstanding compared to $8.440 million or 1.12% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2005, and $8.684 million, or 1.14%, of loans outstanding at September 30, 2005. Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $2.562 million, or 0.34%, of average loans outstanding compared to net charge-offs of $1.592 million, or 0.21%, of average loans outstanding as of September 30, 2005. Adequate provisions and allowances for loan loss reserves are based on numerous factors including growth of the loan portfolio, delinquencies, net charge-offs, non-performing loans and collateral values. Additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses is presented in the table, Asset Quality Analysis, on the following page.

The provision for loan losses charged to operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 totaled $2.583 million compared to $2.314 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was 1.70 times nonperforming loans compared to 2.28 at December 31, 2005 and 2.32 times at September 30, 2005. Based on analysis of the current loan portfolio and levels of current problem assets and potential problem loans, management believes the allowance for loan losses to be adequate. Management continues to closely monitor the asset quality of the loan portfolio. Loans charged-off are recorded based upon the financial condition of the borrower and the likelihood of repayment.

Nonperforming assets are defined as nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, other real estate acquired through foreclosed properties and accruing loans 90 days or more past due. The accrual of interest is generally discontinued on all loans that become ninety days past due as to principal or interest unless collection of both principal and interest is assured by way of collateralization, guarantees or other security and the loan is considered to be in the process of collection.

At September 30, 2006, nonperforming assets were $8.694 million compared to $8.087 million at December 31, 2005 and $8.453 million at September 30, 2005. During the second quarter of 2006, $2.5 million in loans to a borrower in the furniture industry moved to nonaccrual status as a result of the borrower’s failure to satisfy the terms of a liquidation agreement. A liquidation of the inventory was complete during the second quarter and currently this borrower is in involuntary bankruptcy which has delayed foreclosure proceedings. Following the bankruptcy waiting period the Bank will work with the guarantor through the foreclosure of the property to restructure the debt and reduce credit exposure. While these loans are secured, the extent of losses on the loans, if any, can not be determined as of the current date.

The Bank made loans to a long time customer in connection with a condominium project the customer was developing in Georgetown, SC. The loans were secured by the residential condominium units in the building being developed by the customer. During the second quarter of 2005, the Bank acquired 18 residential condominium units by means of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. These 18 units, together with two others owned by third parties, are located on the second and third floors of a three-story building. The ground floor of the building has been developed into retail condominium units by another third party.

At the time of the Bank’s acquisition of the 18 condominium units, the defaulted loans had a $3.4 million principal balance due. After evaluating its potential net realizable value of these condominium units, the Bank took an immediate $400,000 charge against earnings and booked the remaining $3.0 million balance in other real estate owned. Subsequently, during the second quarter of 2006, the Bank discovered, for the first time, that a portion of the condominium development assets had not been conveyed to the Bank as the Bank had previously been advised and the Bank took an additional write-down on the asset of $1.0 million, which reduced the carrying value from $3.0 million to $2.0 million. The Bank continues to actively pursuing recovery of the losses incurred with this project.

26

The Bank incurred expenses of approximately $700,000 as of December 31, 2005, in connection with its investigation and remediation related to these condominiums. During 2006, the Bank has incurred additional investigation and remediation expenses of $412,000 as of September 30, 2006 ($424,000 as of October 31, 2006). Following the most recent write-down of this property the Bank is continuing to consider remedies to include the sale of the condominium units individually or as a group or the build-out of the 18 condominium units.

Income Taxes

Accrued income taxes applicable to income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $2.635 million compared to $3.617 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Pretax income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 of $8.297 million decreased $2.482 million compared to $10.779 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in accrued taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is primarily due to the decreased taxable income. During 2003, the Bank purchased an investment tax credit partnership interest for $540,000. The partnership is expected to yield $1.000 million in tax credits over the years 2003 to 2009. Actual credits applied to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, were $169,000 and $125,000, respectively. Bancshares accounts for tax credits using the flow-through method, thereby reducing income tax expense in the year in which the credits were received.

Risk Management

It is the design of risk management to ensure long-range profitability performance, minimize risk, adhere to proper liquidity and maintain sound capital. To meet these objectives, the process of asset/liability management monitors the exposure to interest rate risk, balance sheet trends, pricing policies and liquidity position. Reports regarding Credit, Asset/Liability, Market, and Operational Risks are provided to the Bank’s Board of Directors.

Risk management practices include key elements such as independent checks and balances, formal authority limits, policies and procedures, and portfolio management performed by experienced personnel.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The primary purpose of managing interest rate risk is to minimize the volatility to earnings from changes in interest rates and preserve the value of Bancshares’ capital. Interest rate movements and balance sheet composition affect profitability and performance. Management’s responsibility for both liquidity and interest sensitivity reside with a designated Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”). As a part of its decision-making process, ALCO evaluates market conditions, interest rate trends and the economic environment. Based upon its view of existing and expected market conditions, ALCO adopts balance sheet strategies intended to optimize net interest income to the extent possible while minimizing the risk associated with unanticipated changes in interest rates.

Bancshares also uses simulation analysis to compute net interest income at risk under a variety of market interest rate scenarios to identify interest rate risk exposures. The simulation models used to analyze Bancshares’ net interest income create various at-risk scenarios looking at increases and/or decreases in interest rates from an instantaneous movement. The models are continuously updated to incorporate management action and on-going assumptions. The affect of a 200 basis point instantaneous increase or decrease in interest rates over a one-year period is a key scenario analyzed. Based on the rate sensitivity position on September 30, 2006, net interest income exposure over the next 12 months to an instantaneous increase in interest rates of 200 basis points is estimated to be approximately 6.8% of base net interest income which is well inside Bancshares’ maximum tolerable decline of 15%. These scenarios are used as one estimate of risk, and do not necessarily represent management’s current view of future interest rates or market developments. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to, among other factors, timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, changes in market conditions, and management’s strategies.

To minimize any potential negative impact of interest rate movements, the asset/liability management process seeks to match maturities and repricing opportunities of interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time period and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within the same time period. On September 30, 2006, the one-year cumulative interest sensitivity gap was a negative $65,000 for a ratio of interest-sensitive assets to interest-sensitive liabilities of 0.86. Management believes that is an acceptable ratio.

Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity risk is the risk of being unable to fund assets with liabilities of the appropriate duration and interest rate, as well as the risk of not being able to meet unexpected cash needs. The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the continuous availability of funds to meet the demands of depositors,

28

other creditors and borrowers, and the requirements of ongoing operations. The principal sources of funds for Bancshares include cash and cash equivalents, maturing investments and loans, core deposits and the securities available for sale portfolio. Correspondent relationships are also maintained with several large banks in order to have access to federal funds purchases as a secondary source of liquidity. Traditionally, the Bank has been a seller of excess investable funds in the federal funds market and uses these funds as a part of its liquidity management.

The Bank also has available lines of credit maintained with the FHLB, which can be used for funding and/or liquidity needs. Borrowings by the Bank under these lines of credit are collateralized by a blanket lien on qualifying loans secured by first mortgages on 1-4 family residences as well as qualified multi-family and home equity lines. At September 30, 2006, the Bank had an available line of credit with the FHLB totaling $164.458 million with $116 million outstanding and $76 million funded. While traditionally the FHLB is used for longer-term borrowings, it can be used for short-term liquidity needs. At September 30, 2006, overnight borrowings from the FHLB totaled $45 million. The Bank has two $10 million and a $20 million irrevocable letter of credit with the FHLB that are used in lieu of securities to pledge against public deposits.

Net cash provided by operating activities, a primary source of liquidity, was $14.734 million for the nine months of 2006 compared to net cash provided of $9.137 million for the same period in 2005. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2006 was primarily attributable to a decrease in loans held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and a decrease in other assets during that same period. Details of cash flows for the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively, are provided in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows located in Item 1, which begins on page 6.

Credit Risk Management

Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention, that have not been disclosed in the schedule “Asset Quality Analysis” on page 27, do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources, or represent material credits about which management is aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

Capital Resources and Shareholders’ Equity

During the second quarter of 2006, Bancshares’ Board of Directors approved an extension of its existing stock repurchase program through May 31, 2008. The extension authorizes Bancshares to repurchase a total of 400,000 shares of common stock. Under the stock repurchase program, Bancshares may repurchase its shares of common stock in the open market or privately negotiated transactions on a time-to-time and ongoing basis, depending upon market conditions and subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws and regulations. The repurchase program assists in the goal of building shareholder value and maintaining appropriate capital levels.

The following table shows a breakdown of the shares that have been repurchased under the repurchase program during the third quarter of 2006.

Regulatory guidelines require minimum levels of capital based on a risk weighting of each asset category and off-balance sheet contingencies. Regulatory agencies divide capital into Tier 1 or core capital and total capital. Tier 1 capital, as defined by regulatory agencies, consists primarily of common shareholders’ equity less goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Total capital consists of Tier 1 capital plus the allowable portion of the allowance for loan losses and certain long-term debt. Additional regulatory capital measures include the Tier 1 leverage ratio. Tier 1 leverage ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets less goodwill and certain other intangibles and has a regulatory minimum of 3.0%, with most institutions required to maintain a ratio of at least 4.0% to 5.0%, depending primarily upon risk profiles. In addition to the aforementioned risk-based capital requirements, the Bank is subject to a leverage capital requirement, requiring a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital (as defined previously) to total adjusted average assets of 3.0% to 5.0%. The Bank’s capital requirements are summarized in the table below (Dollars in thousands):

						Risk-Based Capital
	Leverage Capital					Tier 1 Capital					Total Capital
	Amount		Percent1			Amount		Percent2			Amount		Percent2
Actual	$	92,488		9.42	%	$	92,488		11.37	%	$	100,949		12.41	%
