STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS SouthBanc Shares, Inc. and Subsidiary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation --------------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for SouthBanc Shares, Inc. ("Company") were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended September 30, 1999. 2. Principles of Consolidation --------------------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Perpetual Bank, a Federal Savings Bank, ("Bank"), and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, Mortgage First Service Corporation and United Service Corporation, and United Service Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, United Investment Services. United Service Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. At June 30, 2000, United Service had assets of $2.2 million. United Service is involved in two residential and two commercial real estate development projects. All significant intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 3. Payment of Dividends -------------------- The payment of dividends by the Company depends primarily on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. The payment of dividends by the Bank is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend if the effect thereof would cause the capital of the Savings Bank to be reduced below regulatory capital requirements imposed by the OTS or below the liquidation account established by the Bank in connection with the conversion of the Bank's former mutual holding company (SouthBanc Shares, M.H.C.) from the mutual to stock form of organization. The Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.15 per share to its shareholders during the quarter ended June 30, 2000, payable on July 18, 2000 to shareholders of record as of July 3, 2000. 4. Earnings Per Share ------------------ In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock such as options, warrants, convertible securities or contingent stock agreements if those securities trade in a public market. 8 4. Earnings Per Share (Continued) ------------------------------ This standard specifies computation and presentation requirements for both basic EPS and, for entities with complex capital structures, diluted EPS. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. The dilutive effect of options outstanding under the Company's stock option plan is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. SFAS No. 128 is effective for reporting periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS No. 128 during the quarter ended December 31, 1997. Accordingly, all prior period earnings per share have been restated for the purchase of Treasury Stock.

Subsequent Event -- Merger with Heritage Bancorp, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------ On July 31, 2000 , the Company merged with Heritage Bancorp, Inc. ("Heritage"). The Company is the surviving corporation in the merger and the transaction has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles. Each share of Heritage common stock was exchanged for either $17.65 in cash or .992 of a share of the Company common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loan principal, and repayment of mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, and, to a lesser extent, maturities of investment securities, and short-term investments and operations. While scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early loan repayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions, and competition. The Company attempts to price its deposits to meet its asset/liability objectives consistent with local market conditions. Excess balances are invested in overnight funds. In addition, the Company is eligible to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta. Under OTS regulations, a member thrift institution is required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits and savings accounts, bankers' acceptances, and specified U. S. government, state or federal agency obligations and certain other investments) equal to a monthly average of not less than a specified percentage of its net withdrawable accounts plus short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement, which is currently 4.0%, may be changed from time to time by the OTS to any amount within the range of 4.0% to 10.0%, depending upon economic conditions and the savings flow of member associations. Monetary penalties may be imposed for failure to meet liquidity requirements. The liquidity of the Company at June 30, 2000 was 11.32%. The primary investing activity of the Company is lending. During the nine months ended June 30, 2000, the Company originated $64.8 million of loans and no loans were sold. The Company also purchased $25.0 million of loans. The retained originations were primarily funded by principal repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, and FHLB advances. Liquidity management is both a short and long-term responsibility of management. The Company adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and (v) liquidity of its asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is generally invested in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB and collateral eligible for repurchase agreements. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available through normal loan repayments to meet current loan commitments. At June 30, 2000, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of approximately $68.3 million which is comprised of $37.8 million adjustable rate commitments and $30.5 million fixed rate commitments. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 2000, totaled $121.5 million. Based upon management's experience and familiarity with the customers involved and the Company's pricing policy relative to that of its perceived competitors, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Company. 15 Capital Compliance - ------------------ The Company is not subject to any regulatory capital requirements. The Bank's actual capital and ratios as required by the OTS, as well as those required to be considered well capitalized according to the Prompt Corrective Action Provisions are presented in the following table. As of June 30, 2000, the most recent notification from the OTS categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risked-based, and Tier I core ("leverage") ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements - --------------------------------------- In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." All derivatives are to be measured at fair value and recognized in the balance sheet as assets or liabilities. This statement's effective date was delayed by the issuance of SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 133", and is effective for fiscal years and quarters beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact on the presentation of the Company's financial results or financial position. Accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB that will not require adoption until a future date and will impact the preparation of the financial statements will not have a material effect upon adoption. Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices - --------------------------------------- The Consolidated Financial Statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering the changes in relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. 16 ITEM 3 - Market Risk Disclosure - ------------------------------- There have been no material changes to the market risk information set forth under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Market Risk and Asset Liability Management" in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 1999. 17 PART II Item 1.
