---------------------------------------- CONVERSION APPRAISAL REPORT SOUTHBANC SHARES, INC. PROPOSED HOLDING COMPANY FOR PERPETUAL BANK, A FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK Anderson, South Carolina Dated As Of: December 5, 1997 ---------------------------------------- Prepared By: RP Financial, LC. 1700 North Moore Street Suite 2210 Arlington, Virginia 22209 [LETTERHEAD OF RP FINANCIAL, LC. APPEARS HERE] December 5, 1997 Board of Directors SouthBanc Shares, M.H.C. Perpetual Bank, A Federal Savings Bank 907 North Main Street Anderson, South Carolina 29621 Gentlemen: At your request, we have completed and hereby provide an independent appraisal ("Appraisal") of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock which is to be issued by SouthBanc Shares, Inc. ("SouthBanc" or the "Holding Company"), in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion of SouthBanc Shares, M.H.C., Anderson, South Carolina (the "Mutual Holding Company" or the "MHC"). The Mutual Holding Company currently has a majority ownership interest in, and its principal asset consists of, approximately 53.02 percent of the common stock of Perpetual Bank, A Federal Savings Bank, Anderson, South Carolina ("Perpetual" or the "Bank"). The remaining 46.98 percent of Perpetual's common stock is owned by public stockholders (the "Public Shares"). It is our understanding that the Holding Company will offer its stock to depositors, members of the local community and the public at large. This Appraisal is furnished pursuant to the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations 563b.7 and has been prepared in accordance with the "Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization" of the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"), which have been adopted in practice by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), including the most recent revisions as of October 21, 1994, and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof. Description of Reorganization - ----------------------------- The Boards of Directors of Perpetual and the Mutual Holding Company have adopted a Plan of Conversion and Agreement and Plan of Reorganization pursuant to which the proposed transaction will occur. In the reorganization process, to become effective concurrent with the completion of the stock sale, which is targeted for the first calendar quarter of 1998: (1) the MHC, which currently owns approximately 53.02 percent of the Holding Company, will convert to an interim federal stock savings bank and merge with and into the Bank, with the Bank being the surviving entity; (2) the outstanding Perpetual common stock held by the MHC will be cancelled; (3) a second interim federal stock savings bank will be formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SouthBanc and merge with and into the Bank, resulting in the Bank becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company; and (4) the outstanding Public Shares of Perpetual will be converted into Exchange Shares pursuant to an Exchange Ratio, which will result in the holders of such shares owning in the aggregate approximately the same percentage of the Holding Company as they currently own. Pursuant to the reorganization, SouthBanc will issue shares in the Subscription and Community Offerings that will represent an ownership interest in the Holding Company equal to the percentage ownership that the MHC currently maintains in SouthBanc. Also pursuant to the reorganization, the Holding Company will issue the Exchange Shares to the current minority stockholders of the Holding Company in exchange for the Public Shares pursuant to an exchange ratio determined by the Board of Directors that will maintain approximately the current minority stockholders' existing ownership interest (the Exchange Ratio). RP Financial, LC. Board of Directors December 5, 1997 Page 2 RP Financial, LC. - ----------------- RP Financial, LC. ("RP Financial") is a financial consulting firm that specializes in financial valuations and analyses of business enterprises and securities. The background and experience of RP Financial are detailed in Exhibit V-1. We believe that, except for the fee we will receive for our appraisal of the shares to be issued by the Holding Company, and the preparation of and the fee received for the regulatory business plan filed with the application, we are independent of the Bank, the MHC, the Holding Company and other parties engaged by the Bank to assist in the stock issuance process. Valuation Methodology - --------------------- In preparing our appraisal, we have reviewed the MHC's Application for Approval of Conversion, including the Proxy Statement, as filed with the OTS and the Holding Company's Form S-1 registration statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We have conducted an analysis of the Bank and the MHC (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the "Bank") that has included due diligence related discussions with the Bank's management; KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, the Bank's independent auditor; Breyer and Aguggia, the Bank's conversion counsel; and Sandler O'Neill & Partners, L.P., which has been retained by the Bank as a financial and marketing advisor in connection with the Holding Company's stock offering. All conclusions and assumptions set forth in the Appraisal were reached independently from such discussions. In addition, where appropriate, we have considered information based on other available published sources that we believe are reliable. While we believe the information and data gathered from all these sources are reliable we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information. We have investigated the competitive environment within which the Bank operates, and have assessed the Bank's relative strengths and weaknesses. We have kept abreast of the changing regulatory and legislative environment and analyzed the potential impact on the Bank and the industry as a whole. We have analyzed the potential effects of the stock offering on the Bank's operating characteristics and financial performance as they relate to the pro forma market value of the Bank. We have reviewed the economy in the Bank's primary market area and have compared the Bank's financial performance and condition with selected publicly-traded thrift institutions. We have reviewed conditions in the securities markets in general and for thrift stocks in particular, including the market for existing thrift issues (including both full stock institutions and institutions organized as mutual holding companies), initial public offerings by thrifts and second step conversion offerings. Our Appraisal is based on the Bank's representation that the information contained in the regulatory applications and additional information furnished to us by the Bank and its independent auditors are truthful, accurate and complete. We did not independently verify the financial statements and other information provided by the Bank and its independent auditors, nor did we independently value the individual assets or liabilities of the Bank. The valuation considers the Bank only as a publicly-held going concern and should not be considered as an indication of the liquidation or control values of the Bank. Our appraised value is predicated on a continuation of the current operating environment for the Bank and for all thrifts. Changes in the local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters) may occur from time to time, often with great unpredictability and may materially impact the value of thrift stocks as a whole or the Bank's value alone. To the extent that such factors can be foreseen, they have been factored into our analysis. Pro forma market value is defined as the price at which the Holding Company's shares would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts. RP Financial, LC. Board of Directors December 5, 1997 Page 3 Valuation Conclusion - -------------------- It is our opinion that, as of December 5, 1997, the aggregate pro forma market value of the Bank and the Mutual Holding Company, inclusive of the sale of an approximate 53.02 percent ownership interest in the Subscription and Community Offerings, was $65,070,148 at the midpoint. Based on the range of value set forth in the OTS conversion guidelines, the resultant valuation range equals $55,309,626 at the minimum and $74,830,670 at the maximum. Based on this valuation and the approximate 53.02 percent ownership interest being sold in the Subscription and Community Offerings, the midpoint of the Holding Company's stock offering was $34,500,000, equal to 1,725,000 shares offered at a per share value of $20.00. The resultant offering range includes a minimum of $29,325,000 and a maximum of $39,675,000. Based on the $20.00 per share offering price, this range equates to an offering of 1,466,250 shares at the minimum to 1,983,750 shares at the maximum. The Holding Company's offering also includes a provision for a super range, which if exercised, based on a market value of $86,055,271, would result in an offering size of $45,626,250, equal to 2,281,312 shares at the $20.00 per share offering price. Establishment of Exchange Ratio - ------------------------------- OTS regulations provide that in a conversion of a mutual holding company, the minority stockholders are entitled to exchange their shares of the Bank's common stock for common stock of the Holding Company. The Board of Directors of the Mutual Holding Company has independently established a formula to determine the exchange ratio. The formula has been designed to preserve the current aggregate percentage ownership in the Bank represented by the Public Shares, which results in an approximate 46.98 percent minority ownership interest. Pursuant to the formula, the Exchange Ratio will be determined at the end of the Holding Company's stock offering based on the total number of shares sold in the Subscription and Community Offerings. Based upon this formula, and the valuation conclusion and offering range concluded above, the Exchange Ratio would be 1.83281 shares, 2.15625 shares, 2.47969 shares and 2.85164 shares of Holding Company stock issued for each Public Share, at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and super range of the offering, respectively. Limiting Factors and Considerations - ----------------------------------- Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the common stock. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares of common stock in the initial offering will thereafter be able to sell such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market value. The Appraisal does not take into account any trading activity with respect to the purchase and sale of common stock in the secondary market, and reflects only a valuation range as of this date for the pro forma market value of the Bank immediately upon issuance of the stock. RP Financial's valuation was determined based on the financial condition, operations and shares outstanding as of September 30, 1997, the date of the financial data included in the Holding Company's Prospectus. The proposed Exchange Ratio and the exchange of Public Shares for newly issued Holding Company shares was determined independently by the Boards of Directors of the MHC and the Bank. RP Financial expresses no opinion on the proposed Exchange Ratio and the exchange of Public Shares for newly issued Holding Company shares. RP Financial, LC. Board of Directors December 5, 1997 Page 4 RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits the company, its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions. The valuation will be updated should market conditions or changes in Perpetual's operating results warrant. The valuation will also be updated at the completion of the Holding Company's stock offering. These updates will consider, among other things, any developments or changes in the Bank's financial performance and condition, management policies, and current conditions in the equity markets for thrift shares, both existing issues and new issues. Also, these updates will consider changes in other external factors which impact value including, but not limited to: various changes in the legislative and regulatory environment (including changes in the appraisal guidelines), the stock market and the market for thrift stocks, and interest rates. Should any such new developments or changes be material, in our opinion, to the valuation of the shares, appropriate adjustments to the estimated pro forma market value will be made. The reasons for any such adjustments will be explained in the update at the date of the release of the update. Respectfully submitted, RP FINANCIAL, LC. /s/ William E. Pommerening William E.

Page 1.1 I. OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Perpetual Bank, A Federal Savings Bank ("Perpetual" or the "Bank") is a federally chartered stock savings bank headquartered in Anderson, South Carolina. Perpetual is the subsidiary of a mutual holding company called SouthBanc Shares, M.H.C. (the "Mutual Holding Company" or the "MHC"). The MHC owns a 53.02 percent ownership interest in Perpetual, with the remaining 46.98 percent owned by non-MHC private investors. Perpetual was incorporated in 1906, and converted to a stock institution pursuant to an initial mutual holding company reorganization transaction in October 1993, during which the Bank sold an estimated 7.9 percent of the Bank's common stock to the public and the remaining shares to the Mutual Holding Company. During 1996, the Bank completed an "Additional Minority Stock Issuance" (Additional Issuance), whereby the Bank completed an additional offering of Bank common stock to then existing public stockholders and members of the MHC, increasing the minority ownership percentage to approximately 46.8 percent. The Bank presently serves the western South Carolina markets surrounding the city of Anderson. The single largest segment of the Bank's operations is in the Anderson area (Anderson County) located near the western border of South Carolina, as the greatest concentration of deposits, including the main office and four branch offices, are located in Anderson. A fifth office location was opened in Seneca, Oconee County, South Carolina in December 1996, located to the west of Anderson County. Exhibit I-1 presents the locations of Perpetual's office buildings. The Bank is currently a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system and its deposits are insured up to the regulatory maximums by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). At September 30, 1997, Perpetual had $257.0 million in total assets, $201.0 million in deposits and stockholders' equity of $30.6 million, equal to 11.9 percent of assets. All of Perpetual's capital is tangible capital. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had issued and outstanding 1,508,873 shares of common stock, of which 800,000 were owned by the MHC and 708,873 were owned by private investors. Plan of Conversion and Holding Company Reorganization - ----------------------------------------------------- On September 22, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Mutual Holding Company adopted the Plan of Conversion and Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") pursuant to which the Mutual Holding Company will convert from mutual to stock form and simultaneously merge with and into the Bank. A newly formed Delaware corporation, SouthBanc Shares, Inc. ("SouthBanc" or the "Holding Company"), will be formed as a unitary savings and loan holding company to facilitate the reorganization. In the reorganization process, to become effective concurrent with the completion of the stock sale which is targeted for the first calendar quarter of 1998: (1) the MHC, which currently owns approximately 53.02 percent of the Bank, will RP Financial, LC. Page 1.2 convert to an interim federal stock savings bank and merge with and into the Bank, with the Bank being the surviving entity; (2) the outstanding Perpetual common stock held by the MHC will be cancelled; (3) a second interim federal stock savings bank will be formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SouthBanc and merge with and into the Bank, resulting in the Bank becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company operating under the name Perpetual Bank, A Federal Savings Bank; and, (3) the outstanding publicly-owned shares of Bank common stock (the "Public Shares") will be converted into shares of common stock of the Holding Company (the "Exchange Shares") pursuant to a ratio that will result in the holders of such shares owning approximately the same percentage of the Company as they currently own of the Bank. Pursuant to the reorganization, the SouthBanc will issue shares in a subscription and community offering that will represent an ownership interest in the Holding Company of approximately 53.02 percent, the percentage ownership that the MHC currently maintains in the Bank. SouthBanc will also issue the Exchange Shares to the current minority stockholders of the Bank. The number of exchange shares issued by the Holding Company will be calculated pursuant to an exchange ratio determined by the Board of Directors that will maintain the current minority stockholders' existing ownership interest (the "Exchange Ratio"), adjusted for assets currently held at the MHC level. The Holding Company anticipates granting common stock awards to directors, officers and other key personnel (1998 Management Recognition Plan or "1998 MRP") up to 4 percent of the shares being offered publicly, supplementing stock awards granted in during 1996 (the "1996 MRP"). The Holding Company also intends to implement, subject to stockholder approval, a stock option plan no less than six months after conversion, which will reserve for future issuance 10 percent of the stock issued in the Subscription and Community offerings. At this time, no other activities are contemplated for the Holding Company other than the ownership of the Bank, although in the future the Holding Company may acquire or organize other operating subsidiaries. The Holding Company plans to retain a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of common stock and infuse the remaining proceeds into the Bank. Strategic Discussion - -------------------- Throughout most of its existence, Perpetual's investment powers were limited primarily to fixed rate mortgage loans, share loans and investment securities funded by a limited range of deposit products. Since 1989, the Bank has pursued a gradual refocus of operations to becoming a retail, community- oriented bank, pursuing a diversified investment strategy that included consumer and commercial lending, offering of non-traditional RP Financial, LC. Page 1.3 products and services such as investment products, and pursuing growth in core deposits. The objectives of these strategies have been to reduce interest rate risk, diversify the Bank's earnings stream, and increase overall net income. In recent years, the Bank has sought to position itself to survive in an increasingly competitive and diversified financial services industry. The Bank's efforts have included reorganizing into the stock form of ownership through the 1993 mutual holding company conversion; pursuing acquisitions of other financial institutions and branch deposits; further diversifying the Bank's balance sheet through diversification of lending and investments; increasing non-interest sources of income; and strengthening the Bank's retail franchise through attracting and retaining core deposits in the local market. These strategies have resulted in a degree of success. For example, the Bank was successful in its mutual holding company reorganization, raising an additional $1.2 million of capital in 1993 and $11.3 million in the Additional Issuance transaction in 1996, and putting in place a corporate structure with sufficient flexibility to pursue growth and acquisitions. Moreover, the Bank has been successful in diversifying its balance sheet through increased lending in the areas of construction, commercial real estate, commercial business and residential adjustable rate mortgages ("ARMs"). Finally, the Bank has been successful in increasing non-interest income through deposit fees and non- traditional products such as retail brokerage services through its subsidiary operations, and has been successful in increasing core deposits through marketing of checking accounts. The Bank also successfully opened a new branch office location in Seneca, Oconee County, South Carolina in December 1996 which has gained over $10 million in new deposits as of September 1997. As a result, the total size of the Bank's balance sheet and overall operations has increased since fiscal year end 1993 indicating the success in pursuing retail growth in the local markets. Over the next several years, the Bank's business plan is to remain focused on a continuation of its retail, community banking strategy, including pursuing growth through acquisitions whenever possible. A key component of the business plan is the full conversion offering, which is expected to raise in excess of $30 million in new capital at the midpoint of the valuation range. The additional capital is expected to provide the Bank with greater flexibility to pursue a growth strategy in the future, and will be needed to support the resulting anticipated balance sheet growth. Key aspects of Perpetual's current business plan include the following: (1) Continue to diversify the Bank's balance sheet by pursuing commercial business lending, commercial real estate lending, consumer lending and residential ARM lending (including purchasing residential ARMs from selected South Carolina lenders); (2) Build and maintain the Bank's retail customer base by increasing consumer checking accounts, expanding the Bank's retail branch network in Anderson, and providing a full range of loan and investment products; RP Financial, LC. Page 1.4 (3) Retain a residential lending emphasis by originating residential loans locally (Anderson and surrounding markets) and purchasing high quality residential loans, primarily residential ARMs, from selected South Carolina lenders; (4) Attempt to reduce interest rate risk through adjustable rate and short-term lending, emphasis on stable core deposits, and lengthening whenever possible the maturity of liabilities; (5) Preserve strong asset quality through a focus on residential lending and careful underwriting; (6) Enhance shareholder returns through efforts to increase non-interest income, increase net interest income, pursue balance sheet growth, and continued efforts to control operating expenses; (7) Pursue acquisition opportunities (institutions and branch deposits) to leverage capital, enter new markets, and increase market share locally; and, (8) Position the Bank for future growth by raising additional capital through the full conversion stock offering. Balance Sheet Trends - -------------------- Table 1.1 shows key balance sheet items at the close of the last five fiscal years ended September 30, 1993 through 1997. Over this time period, Perpetual followed a growth strategy, realizing annualized asset growth of 11.2 percent, although most of the growth occurred during the most recent two fiscal years. Over the past four years, the composition of the Bank's asset base has changed, as the balance of mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") has been reduced, while the balance of cash and investments and loans receivable have shown strong increases. The composition of the Bank's liabilities and stockholders' equity has also experienced change, as deposits, borrowings and equity have all increased substantially. Exhibit I-2 presents the Bank's audited financial statements, while Exhibit I-3 displays Perpetual's key operating ratios over the past five years. As of September 30, 1997, the largest component of the Bank's balance sheet was loans receivable, which equaled $178.8 million, or 69.6 percent of total assets. Consistent with the Bank's emphasis on retail lending, the balance of loans receivable has increased at an annualized rate of 16.5 percent since fiscal year-end 1993, faster than overall asset growth. Growth in loans receivable has accelerated in the past two fiscal years as the Bank has increased its activity in residential lending by augmenting local loan production with loan purchases from selected South Carolina lenders and mortgage brokers, and from a mortgage company in which a service corporation subsidiary of the Bank has an equity investment. Perpetual has also increased lending activities in the areas of commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans, while construction lending declined in the most recent fiscal year. The Bank's loan portfolio continues to reflect that of a residential lender, with a concentration of 1-4 family residential mortgages (66 percent of net loans receivable) and construction loans, primarily residential construction (10 percent). The diversification in the Bank's portfolio is highlighted by RP Financial, LC.

RP Financial, LC. Page 1.6 concentrations of non-residential loans, including commercial real estate (15 percent), consumer (11 percent), commercial business (4 percent), and multi- family loans (1 percent) which comprise the remainder of the portfolio. The second largest balance sheet category, MBS is comprised of conventional MBS, collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), and other guaranteed securities. The total MBS portfolio had a balance of $35.9 million as of September 30, 1997, equal to 14.0 percent of total assets. The Bank's portfolio of MBS provides the Bank with relatively strong yields and limited credit risk as all investments are issued by the U.S. Government or its Agencies (GNMA, FNMA, FHLMC) or are investment grade instruments guaranteed by the funding arm of the Resolution Trust Corporation. The portfolio of MBS has declined steadily over the past four years as a result of normal scheduled principal retirement and prepayments, as Perpetual has opted to reinvestment available funds into whole loans receivable. In addition, during fiscal 1997, Perpetual completed a restructuring of the MBS portfolio by selling a portion of the CMO portfolio and utilizing the proceeds to purchase short- and intermediate-term MBS and other investment securities. The Bank's entire portfolio of MBS is held as Available for Sale ("AFS"), and is thus carried on the books at its estimated market value pursuant to SFAS No. 115. As of September 30, 1997, Perpetual's portfolio of cash and investment securities totaled $31.5 million, equal to 12.3 percent of total assets (see Exhibit I-4). The balance of cash and investments has increased from $9.8 million as of September 30, 1995, as the growth in all funding sources has exceeded the Bank's lending volume and due to the reinvestment of funds from the sale of CMOs. As of September 30, 1997, the portfolio of cash and investments was comprised cash and cash equivalents ($13.5 million), U.S. Treasury and Agency securities ($11.3 million, FHLB stock ($1.7 million) and an investment in a Limited Partnership ($5.0 million). Perpetual's investment in a Limited Partnership consisted of a 20.625 percent interest in Dovenmuehle Mortgage Company Limited Partnership ("Dovenmuehle"), which invests in mortgage servicing rights. The Bank's investment in Dovenmuehle was completed in December of 1996, and as of fiscal year end 1997, assets of Dovenmuehle totaled $52.4 million, of which $48.4 million consisted of purchased mortgage servicing rights. All of the U.S. Treasury and Agencies securities are classified as AFS, with an unrealized pre-tax gain of $137,000 as of September 30, 1997. As of September 30, 1997, the Bank's assets were funded with a combination of deposits, borrowed funds and stockholders' equity. Retail deposits have consistently met the majority of Perpetual's funding needs, and over the last four years the balance of deposits has increased at an annualized rate of 8.7 percent. Deposits increased by $40.8 million, or 25.4 percent, for fiscal 1997, as the Bank benefited from the opening of the Seneca branch in Oconee County, from deposits gained from more aggressive marketing of certain certificate of deposit ("CD") products such as special 7-month and 13-month CDs, and from marketing efforts to open additional checking accounts. As of September 30, 1997, deposits totaled $201.0 million, equal to 78.2 percent of total RP Financial, LC. Page 1.7 liabilities and stockholders' equity. Virtually all of the Bank's deposits are taken in by the Bank's main office and five branches from depositors who reside in Perpetual's primary market area. The Bank does not utilize brokered CDs as a funding source although jumbo deposits are employed on a regular but limited basis. Borrowings obtained by the Bank since fiscal 1993 have consisted of FHLB advances and reverse repurchase agreement borrowings. As of September 30, 1997, borrowings totaled $15.0 million or 5.8 percent of total liabilities and stockholders' equity, and consisted solely of FHLB advances. During fiscal 1995, the Bank utilized a significant amount of FHLB advances (approximately $42 million) in conjunction with a temporary financing transaction (discussed in greater detail in the "Income and Expense Trends" section following). Such borrowings have subsequently been paid down. It is Perpetual's current philosophy to continue to utilize borrowings to fund operations, but to utilize such funds on limited basis for liquidity or other special purposes. Perpetual's stockholders' equity has realized significant growth since 1993, increasing from $13.9 million or 8.3 percent of assets at the close of fiscal 1993 to $30.6 million or 11.9 percent of assets currently. The increases in stockholders' equity are attributable primarily to positive earnings for the past four years and the successful MHC reorganization and stock issuance in 1993 and Additional Minority Stock Issuance in 1996. As of September 30, 1997, Perpetual maintained a capital surplus relative to all three fully phased-in regulatory capital requirements: tangible, core and risk-based. Perpetual's plan for the future is to enhance capital through retention of earnings and through the secondary offering of common stock. Income and Expense Trends - ------------------------- The Bank has reported positive net income for the five fiscal years ended September 30, 1997, with earnings ranging from a low of 0.72 percent in fiscal 1997 to a high of 1.40 percent in fiscal 1994 (see Table 1.2 for details). For the twelve months ended September 30, 1997, net income equaled $1.7 million, equivalent to a ROAA of 0.72 percent. Since fiscal 1993, Perpetual's net interest income before provisions for loan losses has ranged from a high of 3.95 percent of average assets in fiscal 1996 to a low of 2.29 percent of average assets in fiscal 1995, with net interest income supported by a relatively low level of interest expense (over 30 percent of the Bank's deposit base consists of lower costing savings and transaction accounts). Net interest income was 3.71 percent of average assets in the twelve months ended September 30, 1997. The significant decline in net interest income during fiscal 1995 is attributable to a financing transaction completed by the Bank, in which Perpetual borrowed approximately $42 million in FHLB advances (incurring interest expense) and purchased approximately $50 million of a mutual fund that generated capital gains (recognized as gains on sale). This financing transaction RP Financial, LC.

Page 1.9 temporarily depressed net interest income and inflated gains on sale reported by the Bank. The volatility in the Bank's net interest income tends to distorts the stability of the Bank's yield-cost spread. As shown in Perpetual's historical yields and costs information (Exhibit I-5), the Bank's interest rate spread has been relatively consistent, ranging from 3.59 percent in fiscal 1997 to 3.85 percent in fiscal 1996. Perpetual has pursued diversification and expansion of its retail banking activities in recent years, and as a result, the Bank has successfully generated an increase in non-interest operating income over the period shown in Table 1.2. Such income, shown as "Other Income" in the table, ranged from 0.61 percent of average assets in fiscal 1993 to 0.97 percent of assets in fiscal 1997. Other income primarily consists of loan and deposit account service charges and fees, which have increased due to the Bank's growing loan and deposit portfolios and a higher number of deposit checking accounts (NOTE: a corresponding increase is seen in operating expenses which is attributable to the marketing efforts required to attract checking accounts). Additional income was recognized for fiscal 1997 from the investment in Dovenmuehle, which provides partnership income from purchased mortgage servicing rights. Other income was gained from brokerage fees from subsidiary operations, income on loans serviced for others, rental income from Bank owned properties and other retail banking fees. For the twelve months ended September 30, 1997, operating expenses totaled 3.18 percent of average assets, which represents an increase relative to operating expense levels from past years. The Bank's operating expenses are higher than industry averages (see Table 3.3 in Chapter III), and they reflect the greater level of operating diversification of the Bank which tends to incur greater operating expenses. The increase in the Bank's operating expense in the recent past reflects, among other things, the marketing and mailing costs associated with the Bank's efforts to attract checking accounts, the opening of the new Seneca branch office location, the relocation of the Perpetual Square office, the opening of a customer "call center", staffed by a number of customer service representatives, the purchase of additional computer equipment and additional expenses associated with Perpetual's ESOP and MRP established in the 1996 Additional Minority Stock Issuance. Perpetual's operating expenses are expected to increase in the near term following conversion as a result of full implementation of the MRP benefits plan expenses, including the 1998 MRP that is expected to purchase stock in the Holding Company in the amount of 4.0 percent of the stock in the year following conversion. The amortization expenses associated with this new plan and full implementation of the 1996 MRP will be included in the Bank's future operating expenses. Loss provisions recorded by the Bank have been moderate, but consistent, factors in the Bank's earnings over the last several fiscal years (see Exhibit I-6). For the twelve months ended September 30, 1997, loan loss provisions equaled 0.27 percent of average assets. The level of loan loss provisions established in fiscal 1997 was higher than past years, but was established concurrent with the increase in the Bank's loan portfolio including commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans. Going forward, Perpetual intends to continue RP Financial, LC. Page 1.10 to evaluate the adequacy of the level of general valuation allowances ("GVAs") on a regular basis and the Bank has indicated that loan loss provisions will continue to be established as determined necessary by the Bank's management in accordance with asset classification and loss reserve policies. Non-operating income and expenses have had an influence on Perpetual's net income. During fiscal 1997, the largest non-operating item consisted of a loss of $308,000 incurred on the sale of CMOs, with the funds subsequently reinvested into other investment securities. During fiscal 1995, the Bank recorded a capital gain as a result of a financing transaction designed to utilized a capital loss carryforward of the Bank. As of September 30, 1997, the financing transaction ($42 million in FHLB advances and $50 million in a mutual fund) has been unwound and no further significant capital gains are anticipated from this source. The other sources of non-operating income over the past five years are attributable to gains or losses on the sale of investment securities, loans originated for resale in the secondary market and sale of real estate owned. During fiscal 1996, as was the case of all SAIF-insured thrifts, Perpetual was required to book the SAIF recapitalization assessment fee, in the amount of $946,000. Interest Rate Risk Management - ----------------------------- Perpetual manages interest rate risk from both the asset and liability sides of the balance sheet. With regard to asset strategies, the Bank has successfully increased the interest sensitivity of its assets by maintaining a balance of short-term CMOs in the MBS portfolio (i.e., 61 percent of total MBS are in the form of CMOs), increasing the balances of short-term loans such as construction loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans, and increasing the balances of residential ARMs through originations and purchases. The Bank's liability strategies have included lengthening the term to maturity of CDs and, more recently, attracting retail checking accounts. The combination of these strategies has successfully reduced exposure to rising interest rates. Specifically, at September 30, 1997, the Bank reported that net portfolio value ("NPV") would decrease by 17 percent and increase by 13 percent, respectively, under a 200 basis point instantaneous and sustained increase and decrease in prevailing rates (see Exhibit I-7). Perpetual's NPV measures indicate that the Bank has been somewhat successful in limiting interest rate risk exposure. (The success of these policies is shown in the stability in Perpetual's yield-cost spread in the past three years as shown in Exhibit I-5). The completion of the full conversion offering should facilitate efforts to further control interest rate risk, as the offering proceeds can be reinvested to enhance core earnings and as the ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities is improved. Perpetual's fixed rate and adjustable rate loans are shown in Exhibit I-8. RP Financial, LC. Page 1.11 Lending Activities and Strategy - ------------------------------- Perpetual's lending activities have traditionally concentrated on the origination of 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans (see Exhibits I-9, I-10 and I-11, loan composition, lending activity and contractual maturity by loan type, respectively). As of September 30, 1997, the Bank maintained its concentration on residential lending, as mortgage loans secured by 1-4 family properties totaled $118.3 million, or 66 percent of net loans receivable. The remainder of the portfolio exhibits generally broad diversification, including commercial real estate, construction, consumer and commercial loans. Perpetual offers a variety of residential mortgage products, including fixed-rate residential mortgages and residential ARMs. The Bank also purchases residential mortgage loans, (both fixed and adjustable rate) to supplement internal loan originations. Fixed rate 1-4 family loans are offered by Perpetual with fully amortizing or balloon terms, and are generally priced based on secondary market pricing to facilitate their resale into the secondary market. Fixed rate 1-4 family mortgages are originated with terms ranging from 15 to 30 years. Conforming fixed rate 1-4 family loans are generally sold into the secondary market on a servicing retained basis, with such loans currently sold to a local mortgage company. Perpetual retains any non-conforming 1-4 family fixed-rate loans in its portfolio, although such volume is relatively low. At September 30, 1997, fixed-rate residential mortgages due more than one year after September 30, 1997 totaled approximately $48 million, or 58 percent of the residential mortgage loan portfolio. Perpetual also originates and purchases ARMs with maturities of up to 30 years, and residential ARMs totaled $46 million, or 26 percent of net loans receivable and 41 percent of residential mortgages at September 30, 1997. The Bank offers several ARM programs, including a one-year ARM, a three-year ARM, a 5/1 ARM and a 10/1 ARM. The one-year ARM, 5/1 ARM and 10/1 ARM are all index to the one year constant maturity Treasury ("CMT") index, and the three-year ARM is indexed to the three year CMT. Periodic rate adjustments for ARMs are limited to 2/6 percentage points for the periodic and lifetime adjustments on one-year and three-year ARMs, and are limited to 2/5 percentage points for the 5/1 and 10/1 ARM products. Adjustment margins vary by product, currently ranging between 2.75 percent for the three-year ARM to 3.00 percent for the 5/1 and 10/1 ARMs. The Bank qualifies the borrowers on its three-year, 5/1 and 10/1 ARMs based on the initial rates, and qualifies borrowers for its one-year ARMs at the fully indexed rate. The Bank also offers two "two step" mortgages, a five-year 2-step loan and a seven-year 2-step loan, both of which adjust relative to the 10 year CMT plus an adjustment margin. Due to the decline in demand for ARMs in the low interest rate environment in recent years, in 1995 the Bank began purchasing ARMs from third party lenders who originate ARMs in markets outside of Anderson County, including larger, non-conforming loans secured by residences on Hilton Head Island and other areas in the southern part of South Carolina. In addition, Perpetual in recent periods has purchased 1-4 RP Financial, LC. Page 1.12 family mortgage loans secured by properties located primarily in Greenville, South Carolina, with such loans purchased from a mortgage company in which a service corporation subsidiary of the Bank has an equity investment. As of September 30, 1997, the portfolio of loans purchased by Perpetual totaled $23.7 million of 1-4 family residential mortgage loans. Management believes that it is managing the credit risk associated with purchasing loans by underwriting such loans according to the guidelines of the Bank. All residential mortgage loans have maximum loan-to-value ("LTVs") ratios of 95 percent. Loans with LTVs in excess of 80 percent are required to have private mortgage insurance ("PMI"). The majority of the residential loans originated by the Bank are secured by properties located in its primary lending territory, with lesser concentrations of loans in Hilton Head and other South Carolina markets. Residential mortgage originations are typically generated through either loan purchases from established third party lenders, the Greenville-based mortgage banking company, or by Perpetual's in-house originators utilizing existing and past customers, realtors, referrals, walk-ins and, to a lesser degree, local advertising. Perpetual's loan portfolio is diversified into commercial real estate, construction, consumer and commercial business loans. As of September 30, 1997, commercial real estate and multi-family loans (collectively, "income- property loans") comprised $28.2 million, or 16 percent of net loans receivable with the majority of such loans consisting of commercial real estate loans. Since fiscal 1993, the Bank has rapidly grown the portfolio of such loans in efforts to become more of a full service community bank and for the yield advantages such loans offer. The portfolio of such loans has more than tripled from the level of $8.0 million, or 7 percent of gross loans at fiscal year end 1995. Commercial real estate loans totaled $27.0 million at September 30, 1997 and are secured primarily by shopping centers, small warehouses, and small commercial buildings. Loans secured by multi-family residences totaled $1.2 million. The majority of income property loans are originated as adjustable rate loans, with rates generally tied to the Prime rate of interest plus a margin, generally with a balloon feature at five years. The Bank also originates fixed rate loans, generally with a balloon feature at five years. From time to time the Bank will purchase commercial real estate mortgages from third party originators, with such loans required to meet the underwriting standards of the Bank. Mortgages secured by income property require certified appraisals, personal guarantees, and minimum debt service coverage ratios, and are originated by the Bank with maximum LTV ratios of 80 percent. Perpetual generally limits such lending to properties in the market area and generally lends to borrowers who are well known to the Bank. Perpetual originates commercial real estate loans with its in-house origination staff and also purchases commercial real estate loans from established third party lenders, provided such loans can meet the Bank's underwriting criteria. RP Financial, LC. Page 1.13 Construction lending is also an area of lending diversification, and construction loans totaled $17.1 million, or 10 percent of net loans receivable, as of September 30, 1997. Construction loans, primarily for the construction of 1-4 family residences, are offered both to individuals and local builders. Loans to individuals are usually "construction/permanent" loans that are interest-only for the construction period, after which they convert to fully amortizing loans of the Bank. Loans to local builders are made on either a pre- sold or "speculative" basis. Construction loans to builders are primarily short-term loans with fixed interest rates (interest-only). To reduce the risk of credit losses, the Bank generally limits the number of speculative construction loans to 2 or 3 per builder, does site inspections prior to disbursing funds, and rotates the inspectors among the various builder relationships. The Bank has been very active in construction lending, which has contributed to the overall growth in the loan portfolio, and views construction loans as a good source of end loans for its portfolio. During fiscal 1997, Perpetual also purchased speculative construction loans secured by 1-4 family properties located on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Consumer lending includes several types of loans, the most significant of which are home equity loans and lines of credit and traditional consumer credit. Home equity loans and lines of credit totaled $12.6 million at September 30, 1997, equal to 7 percent of net loans receivable. Perpetual's home equity loans are generally fixed rate loans with terms of 5 to 15 years. Home equity lines are floating rate loans with rates tied to the Prime rate of interest plus a 0.5 to 0.75 percentage point margin, and with terms of 5 to 15 years. Home equity loans and home equity lines are generally underwritten with maximum LTVs of 80 percent (including any senior liens on the property), although in some circumstances the Bank will originate such loans with LTVs of 100 percent. Other consumer credit totaled $6.6 million at September 30, 1997, equal to 4 percent of gross loans receivable, and consisted of automobile loans, personal loans, and other types of non-mortgage loans. Perpetual has experienced a moderate decline in the portfolio of consumer loans since fiscal 1993, primarily due to a decline in the balance of home equity loans. The remainder of Perpetual's loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by commercial business loans, which totaled $7.2 million or 4 percent of net loans receivable at September 30, 1997. Such loans are primarily secured by business equipment or are commercial lines of credit. Commercial lines of credit include secured and unsecured loans, generally with interest rates tied to the Prime lending rate plus 1.0 percent and one year renewal features. The recent growth in the portfolio of commercial business loans is largely attributable to increased such lending initiated by the newly installed commercial lender. Perpetual experienced a significant increase in loans receivable between September 30, 1993 and September 30, 1997. The increase resulted from a combination of several factors, including increased income property lending and commercial business lending (both related to the recently installed commercial lender) and loan purchases from other local South Carolina lenders. The loan growth trend is highlighted in Exhibit I-10, RP Financial, LC. Page 1.14 which shows that Perpetual's commercial real estate and multi-family loan originations increased from $6.3 million in fiscal 1995 to $12.2 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 1997. During the same period, originations of commercial business loans increased from $4.7 million to $10.7 million. Another key reason for growth in the loan portfolio has been the purchase of loans from outside sources. As shown in Exhibit I-10, during the twelve months ended September 30, 1997, the Bank purchased $23.6 million in residential mortgages and $3.1 million in commercial real estate mortgages from third party lenders, both of which are sharp increases from 1995 levels. Loan sales consisted largely of conforming fixed-rate 1-4 family mortgages. As of September 30, 1997, the Bank's portfolio of loans serviced for others totaled approximately $62 million. In addition to the Bank's portfolio of loans serviced for others, in December 1996 the Bank purchased a 20.625 percent interest in a limited partnership that invests in mortgage servicing rights. Through this limited partnership, Perpetual invests in a particular tranche of servicing rights tied to a national portfolio of residential mortgage loans. For the year ended September 30, 1997, the Bank's return on investment was approximately 5.89 percent and Perpetual recorded other income of $185,000 on the investment based on net income of the limited partnership. As of September 30, 1997, Perpetual maintained an investment in the limited partnership, Dovenmuehle, totaling $5.0 million. Asset Quality - ------------- As shown in Exhibit I-12, the credit quality of Perpetual's loan portfolio has been relatively good, reflecting an increasing balance over the last three fiscal years. As of September 30, 1997, non-performing assets consisted of $0.4 million of non-accruing loans, $0.5 million of accruing loans that were in excess of 90 days delinquent, and $0.2 million of real estate owned ("REO"). Overall, NPAs equaled $1.0 million, equal to 0.41 percent of assets as of September 30, 1997. The Bank's overall loss exposure in NPAs is believed to be moderate, as the Bank maintained valuation allowances equal to $1.9 million of September 30, 1997. Valuation allowances were equal to 1.05 percent and 180.48 percent of net loans receivable and NPAs, respectively. The Bank's classified assets are shown in Exhibit I-13. Funding Strategy - ---------------- As of September 30, 1997, the Bank's assets were funded with deposits, borrowed funds, stockholders' equity, liquidity and loan principal repayments, and retail deposits have consistently met the majority of Perpetual's funding needs. Borrowings have been used to a moderate extent as the Bank has increased its reliance on deposits and stockholders' equity to provide funds. In addition, during fiscal 1995, the Bank utilized a RP Financial, LC. Page 1.15 significant amount of FHLB advances of approximately $50 million on a temporary basis in conjunction with a financing transaction. Virtually all of the Bank's deposits are generated through the Bank's main office in downtown Anderson and the branch offices from depositors who reside in Perpetual's primary market area. The Bank has recently been successful in increasing its deposit base, with primary efforts directed towards attracting and retaining retail checking accounts. Such efforts have included a formal marketing strategy for a "totally free" checking account product and attention to enhancing the Bank's branch network, primarily through the opening of a customer call center. Perpetual offers a full line of deposit products including CDs as well as various transaction and savings accounts including non-interest checking, NOW and passbook savings accounts (see Exhibit I-14). Like most savings institutions, the Bank actively promotes lower cost "core" deposits such as passbook and checking accounts, with special emphasis on attracting retail checking accounts. Also like most savings institutions, the Bank's customers tend to prefer CDs due to their higher interest rates. The trend towards CDs was accelerated in fiscal 1995, as higher interest rates generally encouraged savers to shift their funds from lower costing core deposits into CDs (see Exhibit I-15). As of September 30, 1997, the Bank's deposit base continued to be dominated by CDs, which comprised $138.8 million or 69.1 percent of total deposits. Jumbo CDs, which tend to more rate sensitive than other types of CDs, comprise a relatively small proportion of the Bank's deposit base, equal to $18.5 million or 9.2 percent of total deposits as of September 30, 1997. The Bank does not utilize brokered CDs. Passbook savings and transaction accounts comprised the balance of Perpetual's deposits, and totaled $62.2 million or 30.9 percent of total deposits at September 30, 1997. The balance of passbook savings accounts has remained relatively constant over the last three fiscal years, along the proportion of such accounts has declined. At the same time, the Bank's checking accounts and non-interest bearing accounts have increased over the past three years due to increased marketing efforts. Perpetual actively seeks passbook savings and transactions accounts due to their stable nature and lower interest costs. Over the past several fiscal years, the Bank has been successful in increasing its deposit base within the existing branch network, and through the opening of the Seneca, Oconee County branch. In the future, the Bank has indicated its intention to continue to utilize deposits as the primary source of funds, utilizing FHLB advances as an alternative source of funding, at least until such time as the Bank is able to increase its retail deposit base. RP Financial, LC. Page 1.16 Subsidiary Operations - --------------------- Perpetual had three subsidiaries as of September 30, 1997: (1) United Service Corporation of Anderson, Inc. ("USC"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank; (2) United Investments Services, Inc. ("United Investment"), which is wholly-owned by USC and is a second tier subsidiary of Perpetual; and (3) Mortgage First Service Corporation ("Mortgage First"). In addition to ownership of United Investment, USC is involved in the following real estate development projects: (1) Perpetual Square, a 33-acre commercial development in Anderson County, of which as of September 30, 1997 approximately 8 acres had been sold; (2) The Meadows Development, a 99-acre residential subdivision consisting of approximately 108 lots in Anderson County, of which as of September 30, 1997 three lots had been sold; (3) Ashton Place Subdivision, a 24-acre multi-family housing development consisting of 44 lots in Anderson County, of which as of September 30, 1997 29 lots had been sold; (4) North Park, a 57-acre industrial park located in Anderson County of which 12 acres had been sold. As of September 30, 1997, USC had assets of $2.4 million, and on a consolidated basis, USC and United Investment reported net income of $395,000 for the year ended September 30, 1997. United Investment operates as a full service brokerage unit, selling annuities, stocks, bonds and other investments to the Bank's customers and the general public. United Investment provides the Bank with a steady source of non-interest operating income from investment and insurance commissions. Mortgage First is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Perpetual, which made a $400,000 equity investment in a start-up regional mortgage-banking company known as "First Trust Mortgage Corporation of the South" ("First Trust"), which is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina and maintains offices in Rock Hill, Columbia and Clemson, South Carolina. During the year ended September 30, 1997, First Trust closed 810 loans totalling approximately $100 million. Perpetual has purchased loans from First Trust in recent periods, and all such loan are subject to the Bank's underwriting standards. At September 30, 1997, the Bank's financial commitment to First Trust and the maximum exposure to share in any losses incurred by First Trust were limited solely to the amount of Perpetual's equity investment through Mortgage First. The Bank recorded a loss of approximately $100,000 related to First Trust's operations for the year ended September 30, 1997. Legal Proceedings - ----------------- The Bank is involved in various legal proceedings incident to the normal course of business. Management does not believe that the Bank is exposed to any significant loss from these legal proceedings. RP Financial, LC. Page 2.1 II. MARKET AREA Introduction - ------------ Perpetual conducts operations out of a headquarters office in Anderson, Anderson County, South Carolina, four branch offices in the city of Anderson, and a branch office in the town of Seneca, Oconee County. Exhibit I-1 details the locations of the Bank's offices, while Exhibit II-1 details the general characteristics of the Bank's offices. Anderson County is part of the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson metropolitan statistical area (the "MSA") in the western portion of the state of South Carolina. The closest major city is Atlanta, approximately 100 miles to the southwest. Although Anderson County is included in the MSA, much of Anderson County is rural in nature and roughly 50 percent of the land is utilized for agricultural purposes (Anderson County contains an estimated 1997 population of 159,000, approximately 18 percent of the MSA population). While the more rural nature of Anderson County area has historically limited overall population levels, U.S. Interstate Route I-85, which crosses through Anderson County, has become a major transportation route for the east coast traffic. This highway provides access to the Northeast U.S. and the southern region of the U.S. (Atlanta and points south and west), and has spurred a significant amount of development along the Interstate right of way. Perpetual has served the city of Anderson and Anderson County since it was chartered in 1906. The Seneca branch was opened in December 1996, extending Perpetual's market area to the west into Oconee County (a smaller but rapidly growing county). Thus, the Bank considers Anderson County to be the Bank's primary market area for deposits and lending activity, with a growing presence in Oconee County. Additional lending demand is generated from customers living in the other counties contiguous to Anderson County. Due to the population growth and overall economic stability in the region, competition from other financial institutions in Anderson County is substantial. South Carolina's employment base, historically led by the textile industry, has been diversified into a broad variety of employment sectors in recent years as the textile industry has declined. In Anderson County, the employment base is relatively broad-based in most economic sectors, but continues to reflect a concentration in manufacturing, and more specifically, textiles. The I-85 corridor between Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina (Anderson and Greenville Counties), has been a particularly high growth area in terms of population and employment, as this strategic location along a major east coast transportation route, coupled with a "business friendly" government and low cost of living and labor has resulted in strong growth. These characteristics, along with aggressive marketing by the local and state governments have also resulted in an influx of industrial investment including such prominent companies as BMW Manufacturing Corp. and Hoechst Celanese RP Financial, LC. Page 2.2 Corporation. The Bank's market areas have in general reported relatively strong increases in population, households and income in recent years. Competition from other financial institutions operating in the Bank's market area includes a number of both large and small commercial banks and savings institutions. The Bank maintains a market share of approximately 11 percent of overall financial institution deposits in the headquarters county of Anderson, and a market share of less than 3 percent in Oconee County. The other financial institutions are both locally-owned community-oriented institutions and subsidiaries of larger regional and superregional institutions. A number of market area savings institutions have been acquired or have announced acquisitions in recent periods, resulting in new or strengthened competitors. The Bank has experienced growth in deposits in recent years, as the positive demographic and economic characteristics of the market area, along with more aggressive marketing by the Bank have assisted in deposit growth. However, competition remains high in the marketplace. Future business and growth opportunities will be partially influenced by economic and demographic characteristics of the market served, particularly the future growth and stability of the regional economy, demographic growth trends, and the nature and intensity of the competitive environment for financial institutions. These factors have been briefly examined in the following pages to help determine the growth potential that exists, the relative economic health of the market area and the relative impact on value. National Economic Factors - ------------------------- Over the past year, national economic growth has been mixed. While the November 1996 unemployment rate climbed to 5.4 percent from 5.2 percent in October 1996, inflation concerns were heightened somewhat by an unexpectedly sharp $0.09 jump in average hourly earnings. However, most of the economic data released at the close of 1996, which included jobless claims rising to a five month high in November and a decline in November durable goods orders, suggested that the economy was sluggish and non-inflationary. While fourth quarter GDP growth came in at a stronger than expected 4.7 percent annual growth rate (subsequently revised to 3.9 percent), most of the economic data released during the beginning of the first quarter of 1997 indicated a continuation of moderate economic growth. Such measures as a 1.9 percent decline in December durable goods orders and a modest uptick in the January 1997 unemployment rate to 5.4 percent, versus 5.3 percent in December 1996, eased concerns that the economy was overheating. However, the increase in the unemployment rate was attributable to more people who entered the job force, and some markets have been experiencing labor shortages. In congressional testimony at the end of February 1997, the Federal Reserve Chairman indicated that he anticipated recent signs of lower job insecurity among workers would lead to upward RP Financial, LC. Page 2.3 pressure in wages, which could possibly trigger the Federal Reserve to boost interest rates. Signs of inflation became more notable during March and April, with most economic indicators posting month-to-month increases from January to February. Most notably, during February industrial production increased 0.5 percent, housing starts rose 12.2 percent and the sale of existing homes jumped 9.0 percent. Accelerating economic growth was further indicated by a decline in the March unemployment rate to 5.2 percent, versus 5.3 percent for February, and a higher than expected rise in the March "core" producer price index, which posted its largest increase in 18 months. The revised first quarter GDP growth rate, released in late May 1997, was an annual rate of 5.8 percent, far exceeding analysts' projections, and gave more evidence of the strong economy. The unemployment rate for April 1997 declined to 4.9 percent, also an indicator of a strong economy. More recent economic data released in June 1997 indicates a potential slowing of the economy, as retail sales have slowed to an estimated 2 percent annual growth rate in the second quarter, and business inventories have also increased, which added to the first quarter GDP growth figures. New home sales also dropped by 7.7 percent in April 1997, the sharpest decline in six months. Automobile sales for April and May 1997 have declined from year-earlier levels, and discounting and other sales efforts are becoming more common by automakers. Overall, GDP growth for the second quarter of 1997 is estimated at 2.0 to 2.5 percent, a significant drop from the first quarter 1997 results. Economic data released in August 1997 provided mixed signals of economic growth, as a decline in the July unemployment rate and an unexpectedly sharp decline in the U.S. trade deficit provided indications of a robust economy. At the same time, a modest increase in the July consumer price index and a decline in July wholesale prices suggested that inflation remained non-threatening. At the end of August, second quarter GDP was revised upward to a 3.6 percent annual growth rate compared to a 2.2 percent original estimate. In early-September, a slight increase in the August unemployment rate did little to alleviate inflation concerns, as the employment data indicated that the job market remained tight and wages continued to rise. Comparatively, only a slight increase in the August consumer price index provided stronger evidence that inflation remained tame in mid-September. September employment data served to further the rally in bond prices in early October 1997, as the September unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.9 percent and fewer jobs than expected were added to the economy during September. Congressional testimony by the Federal Reserve Chairman, in which he indicated that it would be difficult to maintain the current balance between tight labor markets and low inflation, caused stock and bond prices to skid in mid-October. Disappointing third quarter earnings in the technology sector sharpened the sell-off in the stock market, with the DJIA posting consecutive losses of more than 1.0 percent on October 16 and 17. Throughout the rest of October and early November, the stock market reacted noticeably to declines in a number of foreign stock markets, particularly the Hong Kong market, experiencing declines of over RP Financial, LC. Page 2.4 100 points in the DJIA on a number of occasions. During the last half of November, the stock market recovered essentially all of the losses incurred earlier, as action taken by foreign governments such as South Korea were seen as addressing the financial problems in that country, and continued positive job creation and unemployment figures showed strength in the U.S. economy. Consistent with recent economic activity, interest rate trends have been varied as well over the past year. Interest rates continued to edge lower through November 1996, as the October economic data suggested that inflationary pressures were non-threatening. Bond prices declined slightly in early-December, as investors focused on weakness in the dollar and rising oil prices. Concern over Japanese investors slowing their buying of U.S. Treasury notes caused bond prices to slide in mid-December, despite economic data which continued to indicate mild inflation. Interest rates were somewhat trendless at the close of 1996, as the Federal Reserve elected not to change interest rates at its December meeting. With few inflationary signs, interest rates held steady at the beginning of 1997, which was followed by a mild easing in interest rates during the first half of February. Indications of slowing economic growth and the Federal Reserve's decision to leave rates unchanged at its early-February meeting spurred the downward trend in interest rates. However, interest rates edged higher in late-February, following renewed concerns by the Federal Reserve Chairman over the sharp rise in the stock market during the past two years. After stabilizing briefly, the strengthening economy and growing expectations of a rate increase by the Federal Reserve propelled interest rates higher in late- March 1997. Inflation concerns pushed interest rates higher during the first half of April 1997, which was followed by a slight decline in interest rates on rumors of a national budget accord. News of the budget agreement and favorable inflation data sustained the rally in bond prices through early-May. Interest rates stabilized in mid-May, as the Federal Reserve opted not to raise interest rates at its May meeting. The high level of consumer confidence indicated by the May reading caused the 30-year bond yield to edge above 7.0 percent in late-May. However, the increase was short-lived, as signs of slowing economic growth provided for a lower interest rate environment during June. The downward trend in interest rates became more pronounced during July 1997, following the Federal Reserve's decision to leave rates unchanged at its early-July meeting and the release of new economic data that indicated inflation was under control. Slower economic growth indicated by the second quarter GDP growth rate of 2.2 percent sustained the rally in bond prices at the end of July. However, in early-August, the stronger than expected job growth reflected in the July employment data and a falling U.S. dollar against the yen and mark caused bond prices to tumble. After recovering briefly on the favorable inflation data indicated by July wholesale RP Financial, LC. Page 2.5 and retail prices, bond prices declined in late-August on news of the narrower than expected June trade deficit. Bond prices rallied briefly at the end August and in early-September, due to technical pressures and economic data that showed manufacturing growth cooled in August. Bond prices eased in mid-September, reflecting investor fears that the August economic data would show a strengthening economy and higher prices. However, the August consumer price report ignited a bond market rally, with the yield on the 30-year bond posting its second largest decline in the 1990s on September 16, 1997. Following the sharp increase, bond prices stabilized through the end of September as investors awaited the release of economic data for September and the outcome of the Federal Reserve's meeting at the end of September. Interest rates continued a variable trend in October 1997, as rates were affected by various news regarding inflation and economic indicators. The broad sell-offs in the stock markets during late October and November 1997 resulted in declines in interest rates to the lowest levels of the past two years, along with a flattening of the yield curve. As of late-November 1997, one- and thirty-year U.S. Government bonds were yielding approximately 5.6 percent and 6.1 percent, respectively. Exhibit II-2 provides historical interest rate trends from 1991 through December 5, 1997. Market Area Demographics - ------------------------ Demographic growth trends in the two market area counties have been measured by changes in population, number of households and median household income and other data, with trends in those areas summarized by the data presented in Exhibit II-3, while additional data concerning sources of personal income and employment sectors is presented in Exhibit II-4. South Carolina, Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson and U.S. data is provided for comparative purposes, and trends in this data provide some indication of future levels of business activities for financial institutions. As shown in Exhibit II-3, Perpetual operates in a two county market area with an estimated population of 223,000 as of 1997. As of 1997, both market area counties are experiencing growth in population and households above the state and national averages. These growth trends are projected to continue through the year 2002, and indicate a favorable environment for business expansion. Oconee County, while much smaller than Anderson County, recorded higher growth than Anderson County over the past seven years. Income levels in the primary market area generally approximate the statewide averages. Estimated per capita annual income for 1997 in Anderson County was slightly below statewide averages, while Oconee County's per capita income was 1 percent higher than the state average. Median household incomes for both counties were slightly below the state average. Income distribution levels are similar to per capita income figures, with both RP Financial, LC. Page 2.6 Anderson and Oconee Counties approximating statewide averages. Based on the positive population trends and comparable or higher income levels, growth opportunities in the primary market area counties can be expected, with growth achievable through overall increases in financial institution deposits. Economy - ------- The Bank's deposit gathering activities and a substantial portion of the lending operations are conducted in the two county market area described above. Employment in these counties is generally diversified, containing employment primarily in manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, services and state and local government, although manufacturing employment has declined as a percent of total employment in recent years (but remains the largest segment of the employment base). Due to the location of I-85 and presence of other large metropolitan areas such as Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina, Anderson County has a material portion of residents that commute to their place of employment outside of Anderson County. For example, the recently opened BMW plant near Spartanburg and other major plants along I-85 to the north draw employees from Anderson County. Employment within Anderson County is concentrated in manufacturing at a higher rate than the state as a whole, 31 percent versus 19 percent. Major manufacturing industries in Anderson County include textiles, machinery, fabricated metal products and rubber/plastic products. Table 2.1 below presents the major employers within Anderson County. As shown by this list of employers, the Bank's headquarters market area county contains a relatively well diversified employment base.

RP Financial, LC. Page 2.7 Table 2.2 displays unemployment data in the local market area as of September 1996 and September 1997. The unemployment rates have declined in all comparative areas over the most recent twelve month period, with the state of South Carolina improving to equal the national average over this time period. Within the Bank's market area, both market area counties recorded noticeable improvements in the employment rates, and both counties reported unemployment rates lower than state and national averages. This data reflects in part the overall strong economy within the market area and the attractiveness of the area to employers, and the trends are significant in light of the strong population gains recorded in the market area.

Deposit Trends and Competition - ------------------------------ The market area (defined as the two county market area for deposits), is characterized by the presence of both locally-based and locally-owned financial institutions and larger, regional and superregional institutions. Major competitors include local commercial banks such as First Citizens Bank and Trust Company of Columbia, Carolina First Bank of Greenville and Anderson National Bank of Anderson, and larger regional and superregional banks such as Nationsbank Corp., First Union Corp. and Wachovia Corporation. Table 2.3 displays deposit market trends for the State of South Carolina and the primary market area from June 30, 1994 to June 30, 1996. Overall, financial institution deposits showed an increase statewide, with commercial banks showing growth while savings institutions lost deposits. This trend of moderate increases in overall deposits, similar to the rest of the nation, reflects in part disintermediation whereby banking customers have also placed available funds into other types of financial intermediaries such as mutual funds, investment firms, brokerage houses, and insurance companies. Deposit trends in both market area counties exhibited similar trends as the state, with both Anderson and Oconee Counties recording relatively moderate deposit growth less than the state average. Savings institutions lost deposits in Oconee County, primarily due to acquisitions, and -------------------------------------- Table 2.3 Perpetual Bank, A Federal Savings Bank Deposit Summary -------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As of June 30, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1994 1996 ------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Deposit Market Number of Market No. of Growth Rate Deposits Share Branches Deposits Share Branches 1994--1996 -------- ----- -------- -------- ----- -------- ---------- (Dollars In Thousands) (%) State of South Carolina $28,444,287 100.0% 1,228 $30,859,861 100.0% 1,175 4.2% Commercial Banks/Savings Banks 22,295,708 78.4% 1,015 25,072,731 81.2% 973 6.0% Savings Institutions 6,148,579 21.6% 213 5,787,130 18.8% 202 -3.0% Anderson County $1,295,082 100.0% 55 $1,383,593 100.0% 54 3.4% Commercial Banks/Savings Banks 791,610 61.1% 39 856,380 61.9% 37 4.0% Savings Institutions 503,472 38.9% 16 527,213 38.1% 17 2.3% Perpetual 142,516 11.0% 4 157,383 11.4% 5 5.1% Oconee County $523,120 100.0% 19 $559,544 100.0% 16 3.4% Commercial Banks/Savings Banks 320,893 61.3% 15 375,034 67.0% 12 8.1% Savings Institutions 202,227 38.7% 4 184,510 33.0% 4 -4.5% Perpetual (1) N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Perpetual opened a branch in Oconee County in December 1996. Source: FDIC; OTS. RP Financial, LC. Page 2.9 reported growth in Anderson County. Commercial banks hold a majority of financial institution deposits in both counties, ranging from a 62 percent market share in Anderson County to over 67 percent of deposits in Oconee County. Perpetual has recorded increases in deposits over the time period shown in Table 2.3 at a higher rate than Anderson County as a whole, resulting in an increase in deposit market share since June 30, 1994. The Bank only recently opened the Oconee County branch, and data available subsequent to June 30, 1996 reveals a continued increase in deposit funds for the Bank. This increase in deposits reveals success in raising additional retail deposit funds for business operations. The Bank's market share is over eleven percent of deposits in Anderson County, and less than three percent in Oconee County (based on more recent data for the Bank), indicating a potential for deposit market share increases. Summary - ------- The overall condition of the primary market area can be characterized as positive with a growing population and household base. The local economy is relatively diversified and is attractive to new businesses. Going forward, in view of the local demographic and economic trends and the numbers and types of competitors in the market area, the competition for deposits is expected to remain substantial, which will result in Perpetual having to pay competitive deposit rates to maintain local market share. The reinvestment of stock proceeds from the conversion may mitigate to some extent the potentially higher funding costs to attract deposits through anticipated loyalty of local shareholders and referrals from local shareholders. RP Financial, LC. Page 3.1 III. PEER GROUP ANALYSIS This chapter presents an analysis of Perpetual's operations versus a group of comparable public companies (the "Peer Group") selected from the universe of all publicly-traded savings institutions. The primary basis of the pro forma market valuation of the Bank is provided by these public companies. Factors affecting Perpetual's pro forma market value such as financial condition, credit risk, interest rate risk, and recent operating results can be readily assessed in relation to the Peer Group. Current market pricing of the Peer Group, subject to appropriate adjustments to account for differences between the Perpetual and the Peer Group, will then be used as a basis for the valuation of the Bank's to- be-issued common stock. Selection of Peer Group - ----------------------- We consider the appropriate Peer Group to be comprised of only those publicly-traded savings institutions whose common stock is either listed on a national exchange or is NASDAQ listed, since the market for companies trading in this fashion is regular and reported. We believe non-listed institutions are inappropriate since the trading activity for thinly-traded stocks is typically highly irregular in terms of frequency and price and may not be a reliable indicator of market value. We have excluded from the Peer Group all publicly- traded subsidiary institutions of mutual holding companies, because their pricing ratios are distorted by the minority issuance of their shares. We have also excluded from the Peer Group those companies under acquisition and/or companies whose market prices appear to be distorted by speculative factors or unusual operating conditions. The universe of all publicly-traded institutions is included as Exhibit III-1. Pricing characteristics of all thrift institutions are included as Exhibit IV-1 (institutions excluded from the calculation of averages are denoted with a footnote (8)). Under ideal circumstances, the Peer Group would be comprised of a minimum of ten publicly-traded South Carolina thrifts with capital, earnings, asset sizes, balance sheet composition, risk profiles, operating strategies and market areas comparable to the Bank. Since 10 such institutions do not exist, it was necessary to expand the search beyond state boundaries and with search criteria for similarly sized, well capitalized institutions located in other Southeastern states. Thus, in the selection process we applied the two primary "screens" to the universe of all public companies as follows: o Screen #1. South Carolina institutions with assets less than $500 ------------------------------------------------------------------ million and market values less than $100 million. One company, South ------------------------------------------------- Carolina Community Bancshares, Inc. (SCCB) met the criteria for this screen and was included in the Peer Group (see Exhibit III-2). The remaining South Carolina institutions were excluded due to the companies being under acquisition, or asset or market value considerations. RP Financial, LC. Page 3.1 o Screen #2. Institutions operating in the Southeastern U.S. with market ---------------------------------------------------------------------- values less than $100 million, equity/assets between 12 and 30 -------------------------------------------------------------- percent, assets greater than $75 million, and ROA's greater than 65 ------------------------------------------------------------------- basis points. Ten companies met the criteria for this screen and all ------------- ten were included in the Peer Group (see Exhibit III-3). Table 3.1 lists key characteristics of the Peer Group companies. In general, the Peer Group is comprised of relatively seasoned publicly-traded institutions operating in South Carolina or other Southeastern U.S. state with a moderately lower average asset size. While the Peer Group is not exactly comparable to Perpetual, we believe that it provides a reasonable representation of publicly-traded thrifts with operations comparable to those of the Bank and thus forms a sound basis for valuation. A summary description of the key characteristics of each of the Peer Group companies selected is detailed below. o Teche Holding Company of LA. Teche Holding Company, the largest member of the Peer Group with over $400 million in assets, is traded on the AMEX and was selected due to its meeting the selection criteria described above. Teche Holding operates with a relatively high percentage of assets in loans receivable and utilizes borrowings to fund operations. Teche Holding also reported net income below the Peer Group averages, and also reported relatively low levels of non-performing assets along with comparatively high reserve coverage ratios. o First SB, SSB of Moore County of NC. First SB is a $295 million institution operating 5 offices in central North Carolina. First SB converted to stock form in January 1994, and is a well-seasoned public company. First SB reported relatively high investment in cash and investments and a loan portfolio dominated by 1-4 family loans. First SB reported a high equity/assets ratio and the highest income of the Peer Group, which was supported by low operating expenses. o Community Federal Bancorp of MS. Community Federal, a $216 million thrift, operates from a single office in northern Mississippi. Community Federal, in addition to satisfying the selection criteria, reported relatively high investment in cash and investments and MBS, along with a loan portfolio with some diversification. Community Federal reported a relatively high equity/assets ratio and income which was supported by low operating expenses. Reserve coverage ratios were lower than the Peer Group averages. o Community Financial Corp. of VA. Community Financial operates in a rural section of western Virginia from three offices. Maintaining an asset base of $175 million, Community Financial is also a seasoned institution that converted in 1988. Community Financial reported the highest proportion of assets invested into loans receivable, with diversification into commercial real estate and non-mortgage lending, resulting in a comparatively high risk-weighted assets-to-assets ratio. Community Financial also reported relatively strong reserve coverage ratios. o Texarkana First Financial Corp. of AR. Texarkana First, traded on the AMEX, is a $171 million thrift operating 5 offices in Arkansas. Similar to Community Financial, Texarkana First reported loan diversification into commercial real estate and non-mortgage lending, which resulted in one of the highest risk-weighted assets-to-assets ratio of the Peer Group. Texarkana's profitability was supported by a strong net interest margin and operating expenses lower than the Peer Group average. Texarkana also reported a the second largest portfolio of loans serviced for others of the Peer Group members.

Bedford Bancshares is the second Virginia institution included in the Peer Group, and operates three offices in southwestern Virginia in a rural area. Bedford Bancshares reported a high investment in loans receivable, no investment in MBS, and one of the highest use of borrowed funds of all Peer Group members. Bedford Bancshares profitability was affected by an operating expense ratio that exceeded the Peer Group average. o FFBS Bancorp of Columbus, MS. FFBS is the second Mississippi institution included in the Peer Group, and operates three offices in Mississippi. FFBS reported investment in cash and investments, MBS and loans receivable, with relatively strong profitability supported by low operating expenses and other operating income. FFBS's loan portfolio showed diversification into commercial real estate and commercial business loans, and asset quality figures were less favorable than the Peer Group averages in terms of non-performing assets as a percent of assets. Reserves as a percent of non-performing assets were also low in comparison to Peer Group averages. o KS Bancorp of Kenly, NC. KS Bancorp is a $110 million asset company operating out of three offices in North Carolina. KS Bancorp maintained a majority of earning assets in loans receivable, and little in terms of loan portfolio diversification away from 1-4 family lending. KS Bancorp reported income that approximated Peer Group averages, with the net interest margin and operating expenses very similar to the Peer Group as a whole. o Twin City Bancorp of TN. Twin City has $107 million in assets and operates out of three offices in northeastern Tennessee. Twin City converted in 1995 and thus is well seasoned in the marketplace. Twin City reported investment in cash and investments, MBS and loans receivable, with profitability negatively affected by the highest level of operating expenses of all Peer Group members. Income was supported by the largest loans serviced for others portfolio, which resulted in other operating income above Peer Group averages. Twin City's loan portfolio revealed the highest diversification of all Peer Group members, primarily into commercial business lending. Asset quality figures were more favorable that Peer Group averages in terms of non-performing assets to total assets. o Stone Street Bancorp of NC. Stone Street represents the most recently converted company in the Peer Group, having converted in April of 1996. Stone Street has $105 million in assets and operates out of two offices in central North Carolina. Stone Street operates with the highest capital position (due to the recent conversion) and a loan portfolio concentrated in residential lending. Income was supported by a strong net interest margin, although Stone Street reported relatively low levels of non- interest income from the non-diversified operations. Asset quality figures were more favorable than the Peer Group averages. o South Carolina Community Bancshares of SC. South Carolina Bancshares, the only South Carolina company in the Peer Group, is the smallest Peer Group company, maintaining $46 million in assets and operating from a single office in Winnsboro, South Carolina within approximately 75 miles of Anderson in west-central South Carolina. South Carolina Community is a seasoned thrift, having converted in 1994. South Carolina Community reported a relatively high level of capital comparison to other Peer Group members, a relatively strong net interest margin and a high level of operating expenses in comparison to the Peer Group averages. Similar to Perpetual, South Carolina Community reported a high proportion of 1-4 family loans in portfolio and a low risk-weighted assets ratio. Asset quality and reserve coverage ratios were also similar to the Bank. In aggregate, the Peer Group companies have an average capital ratio that is higher than the industry average (18.62 percent of assets versus 13.01 percent for the all SAIF average), and higher core profitability (1.29 percent versus 0.88 percent for all SAIF-insured publicly-traded institutions). The Peer Group's much RP Financial, LC. Page 3.5 higher capital ratio combined with higher earnings results in a lower core ROE of 7.01 percent versus 7.82 percent for the all SAIF average. In terms of pricing, the Peer Group on average trades at a lower price/book ("P/B") multiple and a similar price/earnings ("P/E") multiple relative to the industry (see the following table).

The following sections present a comparison of the Bank's financial condition, income and expense trends, loan composition, interest rate risk and credit risk versus the Peer Group. The conclusions drawn from the comparative analysis are then factored into the valuation analysis discussed in the final chapter. Financial Condition - ------------------- Table 3.2 shows comparative balance sheet measures for the Bank and the Peer Group, reflecting the expected similarities and some differences given the selection procedures outlined above. Information for Perpetual and the Peer Group is as of September 30, 1997. The Bank's pre-conversion net worth of 11.9 percent was below the Peer Group's average net worth ratio of 18.6 percent, although the Bank's capital level can be expected to exceed the Peer Group average on a pro forma basis. The increase in the Bank's capital on a pro forma basis can also be expected to reduce its ROE. Neither the Bank or the Peer Group had a balance of goodwill. The Bank and all of the Peer Group companies were in compliance with all fully phased-in regulatory capital requirements and were considered to be well-capitalized by FDICIA standards. In terms of asset composition, the Bank's ratio of loans to assets was lower than the Peer Group's ratio (69.6 percent of assets versus 77.7 percent for the Peer Group), while Perpetual recorded a higher level of MBS (14.0 percent versus 4.4 percent for the Peer Group). The Bank maintains a similar balance of cash and investments as part of its operating strategy, and the portfolio totaled 12.3 percent of total assets. In contrast, the Peer Group maintained a ratio of cash and investments of 15.5 percent of assets.

Copyright (c) 1997 by RP Financial, LC. RP Financial, LC. Page 3.7 Bank's level of cash and investments is expected to initially increase, pending deployment of the proceeds into loans. Overall, Perpetual's IEA totaled 95.9 percent of assets which was lower than the Peer Group's ratio. Both Perpetual and the Peer Group relied on both deposits and borrowings as funding sources, as reflected in the current deposits to assets ratios of 78.2 percent and 73.0 percent, respectively, and borrowings to assets ratios of 5.8 percent and 7.0 percent, respectively. Total interest-bearing liabilities ("IBL") maintained by the Bank and the Peer Group equaled 84.0 percent and 80.0 percent, respectively, with the Peer Group's lower ratio attributable to its higher capital ratio. On a pro forma basis, Perpetual's IBL ratio is expected to decline as a result of the Bank's enhanced capital base and potential deposit withdrawals to fund stock purchases. The growth rate section of Table 3.2 shows growth rates for key balance sheet items. The growth rates for Perpetual and the Peer Group are for the year ended September 30, 1997. The Bank reported a stronger increase in assets since September 30, 1996, above both the Peer Group and industry averages, while the Peer Group reported asset growth equal to 7.4 percent, below both comparative averages. Changes in the Bank's balance sheet occurred in the area of loans receivable and MBS (an increase of 16.7 percent), along with a higher increase in cash and investments (84.39 percent). Alternatively, the Peer Group funded increases in loans and MBS through available cash and investments. Perpetual's asset growth was supported by growth in deposits and equity, while the Peer Group funded asset growth through a combination of deposits and borrowings. Perpetual's profitable operations resulted in growth in the capital account equal to 5.2 percent, while various capital management strategies employed by Peer Group members (such as stock repurchases and dividends), resulted in a decline in the Peer Group's capital of 0.8 percent on average. Income and Expense Components - ----------------------------- For the twelve months ended September 30, 1997, Perpetual's net income amounted to 0.72 percent of average assets, below the 1.31 percent average return posted by the Peer Group (see Table 3.3). Net interest income was the primary component of the Bank's and the Peer Group's earnings, with both Perpetual and the Peer Group reporting a net interest margin that was above the statewide and industry averages (3.70 and 3.84 percent of average assets, respectively). Perpetual reported a comparative level of interest income and a higher level of interest expense, with the greatest difference reported in interest expense. The Bank's higher interest expense results from both a higher ratio of interest-bearing liabilities to assets than the Peer Group, offset in part by a favorable yield/cost spread. As shown in the "yields, costs, and spreads" section of Table 3.3, the Bank has both a higher yield on earning assets and a lower cost of funds in comparison to the Peer Group and the industry as a whole, resulting in a stronger yield cost spread (3.59 percent versus 2.98 percent for the Peer Group and 2.85 for all SAIF-insured thrifts).

Copyright (c) 1997 by RP Financial, LC. RP Financial, LC. Page 3.9 and transaction accounts in the deposit portfolio, a favorable comparison due to the lower cost nature of these funds. The reinvestment of the net conversion proceeds may serve to initially dilute the Bank's asset yields due to current market rates on short- to intermediate-term investment securities but the net interest margin should increase with an increase in the IEA/IBL ratio. In another key area of core earnings strength, the Bank operates with a higher operating expense ratio than the Peer Group (3.18 percent versus 2.04 percent of assets for the Peer Group), which is attributable to the various expenses incurred by Perpetual in the most recent fiscal year (branch opening, call center, data processing equipment and employee benefit program costs), which increased the operating expense ratio for the Bank. These features have increased Perpetual's staffing requirements and compensation expenses, as evidenced by the Bank's lower assets per employee ratio relative to the Peer Group average ($2.284 million and $4.450 million, respectively). Going forward, Perpetual's operating expenses will be subject to increase related to operations as a publicly-held company, stock plan expenses and the expected growth in operations. Non-interest operating income made a higher contribution to the Bank's earnings than the Peer Group's earnings, offsetting some of the advantage in the operating expense area. For the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 1997, the Bank recorded non-interest operating income of 0.97 percent of average assets versus a level of 0.34 percent recorded by the Peer Group. Going forward, the Bank anticipates that non-interest operating income will continue to contribute similar levels to overall revenues. When viewed together, net interest income, other operating income and operating expenses provide insight into an institution's earnings strength, since those sources of income and expense are typically the most prominent components of earnings and are generally more predictable than losses and gains realized from the sale of assets or other non-recurring activities. In this regard, the Bank's efficiency ratio of 68.1 percent compares unfavorably to the Peer Group's ratio of 48.8 percent. Perpetual's ratio is also unfavorable in comparison to the industry average of 59.1 percent. During the most recent fiscal year, Perpetual recorded a non-operating loss of 0.11 percent of average assets, while the Peer Group as a whole recorded net non-operating income of 0.03 percent of average assets, although most of the Peer Group's non-operating income was due to a single thrift that reported such income. The Bank recorded non-operating expense primarily in the form of losses on the sale of securities, offset by income from the resolution of REO. Perpetual reported higher levels of loan loss provisions than the Peer Group at 0.27 and 0.08 percent of average assets, respectively. RP Financial, LC. Page 3.10 Loan Composition - ---------------- Table 3.4 presents data related to the loan composition of Perpetual and the Peer Group. The emphasis on residential lending for the Bank and the Peer Group was evident, with 1-4 family permanent mortgage loans and MBS accounting for 71.82 percent and 80.63 percent of the Bank's and the Peer Group's total loan and MBS portfolios, respectively. In contrast to the Peer Group, Perpetual maintains a sizeable portfolio of loans serviced for others, representing an additional source of income. Perpetual's loan portfolio exhibited greater diversification into higher risk weight loans than the Peer Group's loan portfolio. Construction/land and commercial real estate lending are the Bank's primary methods of lending diversification, and such loans comprised 13.8 and 7.3 percent of the total loan and MBS portfolio at September 30, 1997. The Peer Group achieved their loan portfolio diversification primarily through commercial real estate and commercial business lending, totaling 13.79 percent of total loans and MBS. Perpetual reported a higher risk-weighted assets ratio than the Peer Group at 61.63 and 58.75 percent, respectively. Credit Risk - ----------- While Perpetual's credit risk exposure appears to be lower than the Peer Group's exposure based on the Bank's lower level of NPAs and higher reserve coverage ratios, the Bank's higher level of risk-weighted assets and lower proportion of 1-4 family loans held in portfolio indicate a higher level of credit risk. As shown in Table 3.5, as of September 30, 1997, the Bank recorded NPAs of 0.41 percent of assets, lower than the Peer Group average of 0.43 percent, and maintained a lower ratio of non-performing loans ("NPLs") to loans of 0.23 percent versus 0.49 percent for the Peer Group. Most of the Bank's and Peer Group's NPAs consist of non-accruing loans with only minimal levels of REO. The Bank maintained a higher level of loss reserves as a percent of loans receivable (1.05 percent versus 0.57 percent for the Peer Group), and a higher ratio of reserves as a percent of NPLs and total NPAs. Interest Rate Risk - ------------------ Table 3.6 reflects the relative interest rate risk exposure of Perpetual and the Peer Group. The Bank's lower capital level was the key factor contributing to its lower IEA/IBL ratio relative to the Peer Group (114.2 percent versus 122.9 percent, respectively). The Bank's lower capital and IEA/IBL ratios increases its funding costs relative to the Peer Group. However, the Bank's capital ratio and IEA/IBL ratio will increase on a post-conversion basis.

Copyright (c) 1997 by RP Financial, LC. RP Financial, LC. Page 3.14 In the absence of available or comparable gap and rate shock analyses for the Peer Group, the change in the quarterly net interest income ratio to average assets for the Bank and the Peer Group has been examined in relation to the change in market interest rates. As shown in Table 3.6, the Bank's net interest margin has recently shown more sensitivity to changing market interest rates in comparison to the Peer Group's average net interest margin. On a pro forma basis, Perpetual's higher capital position and reinvestment of proceeds in short-to intermediate-term securities can be expected to lower exposure to changes in interest rates. Summary - ------- Based on the above analysis and the criteria employed by in the Peer Group selection process, the Peer Group appears to form a reasonable basis for determining the pro forma market value of Perpetual, subject to the adjustments noted in the following section. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.1 IV. VALUATION ANALYSIS Introduction - ------------ This chapter presents the valuation analysis, prepared pursuant to the approved valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS, and valuation factors used to determine the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock to be issued in conjunction with the conversion of the MHC. The MHC is converting to a Delaware stock corporation pursuant to the Plan. The pro forma valuation methodology has been modified to reflect the unique characteristics of the conversion of the MHC, specifically the fact that the MHC will be selling only a partial ownership interest in the Subscription and Community offerings, instead of a 100 percent ownership interest as would be the case in a standard conversion. Appraisal Guidelines - -------------------- The OTS appraisal guidelines, originally released in October 1983, specify the methodology for estimating the pro forma market value of an institution. The methodology included: (1) selection of a peer group of comparable seasoned publicly-traded institutions whose pricing is not distorted due to a variety of factors; (2) a fundamental analysis of the subject company to the peer group; and (3) a pro forma valuation analysis of the subject company based on the market pricing of the peer group as of the date of valuation. The amended valuation guidelines also limit the amount of a new issue discount which may be incorporated into the valuation and thereby curtail the potential price appreciation in the after-market. RP Financial's valuation analysis complies with the October 1983 OTS appraisal guidelines as revised on October 21, 1994, incorporating a "fundamental analysis" relative to the Peer Group and a "technical analysis" of final conversion pricing and trading levels of recently completed conversions (given the emphasis of limiting after-market appreciation). It should be noted that such analysis cannot possibly fully account for all the market forces which impact after-market trading activity and pricing characteristics of a stock on a given day. The pro forma market value determined herein is a preliminary value for the Holding Company's to-be-issued stock. Throughout the conversion process, RP Financial will: (1) review changes in the Bank's operations and financial condition; (2) monitor the Bank's operations and financial condition relative to the Peer Group to identify any fundamental changes; (3) monitor the external factors affecting value including, but not limited to, local and national economic conditions, interest rates, and the stock market environment, including the market for thrift stocks; and (4) monitor pending initial and second step conversion offerings (including those in the offering phase) both regionally and nationally. If material changes should occur during the conversion process, RP Financial will prepare updated valuation reports reflecting such changes and their related impact on value, if any, RP Financial, LC. Page 4.2 over the course of the conversion process. RP Financial will also prepare a final valuation update at the closing of the conversion offering to determine if the preliminary range of value continues to be appropriate. The appraised value determined herein is based on the current market and operating environment for the Bank and for all thrifts. Subsequent changes in the local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or major world events), which may occur from time to time (often with great unpredictability), may materially impact the market value of all savings institution stocks, including Perpetual, or Perpetual's value alone. To the extent a change in factors impacting the Bank's value can be reasonably anticipated and/or quantified, RP Financial has incorporated the estimated impact into its analysis. Valuation Analysis - ------------------ A fundamental analysis discussing similarities and differences relative to the Peer Group was presented in Chapter III. The following sections summarize such differences between the Bank and the Peer Group and how those differences affect the pro forma valuation. Emphasis is placed on the specific strengths and weaknesses of the Bank relative to the Peer Group in such key areas as financial condition, profitability, growth and viability of earnings, asset growth, primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the issue, marketing of the issue, management, and the effect of government regulations and/or regulatory reform. We have also considered the market for savings institution stocks, and in particular second step conversions, to assess the impact on value of Perpetual coming to market at this time. 1. Financial Condition ------------------- The financial strength of an institution is an important determinant in pro forma market value, because investors typically look to such factors as liquidity, capital, asset composition and quality, and funding sources in assessing investment attractiveness. The similarities and differences in the Bank's financial strength can be summarized as follows: o Overall A/L Composition. Permanent residential mortgage loans funded ----------------------- by retail deposits were the primary components of both Perpetual's and the Peer Group's balance sheets, with the Peer Group maintaining a higher balance of overall loans receivable as a percent of assets, and a lower level of investment in MBS. Perpetual reported a higher level of diversification into higher credit risk types of loans relative to the Peer Group. Both the Bank and the Peer Group relied on borrowed funds, although retail deposits comprised the major portion of the respective funding needs. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.3 o Credit Risk. Perpetual maintains a comparable level of NPAs/assets as ----------- the Peer Group, despite a higher credit risk profile in the loan portfolio and a higher risk-weighted assets ratio. Reserve coverage ratios are more favorable than the Peer Group. The Bank has a lower loans/assets ratio to the Peer Group. o Liquidity. Perpetual maintained a higher level of cash and investments --------- and MBS in comparison to the Peer Group. The Bank's proportion of cash and investments is likely to initially increase on a pro forma basis. Borrowings were utilized to a similar degree by the Bank and the Peer Group, and both maintain ample borrowings capacity. The Bank's loans meet secondary market standards for sale. o Capital. While the Bank maintains a lower capital position in relation ------- to the Peer Group, following the infusion of conversion proceeds, the Bank's capital position is expected to exceed the Peer Group average. As a result, Perpetual is expected to have more leverage capacity than the Peer Group. The Bank's pro forma return on equity ("ROE") is not expected to exceed the Peer Group average due to lower profitability. On balance, RP Financial determined that no adjustment was warranted for financial condition. 2. Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings ----------------------------------------------- Earnings are an important factor in determining pro forma market value, as the level and risk characteristics of an institution's earnings stream and the prospects and ability to generate future earnings are typically heavily factored into an investment decision. The historical income statements of Perpetual and the Peer Group were generally reflective of traditional savings institution operating strategies, with net interest income and operating expenses being the major determinants of their respective core earnings. The specific factors considered in the valuation include: o Reported Earnings. The Bank reported net income of 0.72 percent of ----------------- average assets for the most recent twelve month period versus earnings of 1.31 percent for the Peer Group. The differential in reported earnings is due to the Bank's higher operating expenses, offset in part by higher non-interest operating income. o Core Earnings. The Bank also maintains a less favorable core earnings ------------- posture relative to the Peer Group, even though reported earnings were adversely affected by losses on the sale of securities. Perpetual and the Peer Group operated with a similar level of net interest income, with the Bank reporting more favorable non-interest operating income and less favorable operating expenses than the Peer Group. The effective tax rates for Perpetual and the Peer Group were comparable. While redeployment of conversion proceeds into interest-earning assets should enhance Perpetual's net interest income, operating expenses for the Bank are expected to increase as well, and any attempt by the Bank to add products or services would likely result in higher operating expense. On a pro forma basis, Perpetual's core profitability is expected to remain below that of the Peer Group. o Interest Rate Risk. Perpetual's change in NPV under a 200 basis point ------------------ increase in interest rates (as calculated by the OTS), indicates a moderate exposure to rising interest rates, particularly given the origination of ARMs that carry repricing periods of greater than one year. Although gap data was not available for the Peer Group, other analyses indicated a comparable advantage RP Financial, LC. Page 4.4 for the Peer Group. The pro forma increase in the IEA/IBL ratio can be expected to reduce the Bank's interest rate risk exposure. o Credit Risk. Loss provisions had a higher impact on the earnings of ----------- the Bank in comparison to the Peer Group. In terms of potential credit quality related losses, the Bank maintained higher reserve coverage ratios as a percent of loans receivable, as a percent of non-accruing loans and as a percent of total NPAs. The Bank's lower proportion of residential loans held in portfolio increases the perceived credit risk of the loan portfolio in relation to the Peer Group. o Earnings Growth Potential. Several factors were considered in ------------------------- assessing earnings growth potential. Perpetual's internally generated loan demand has been less than available funds, requiring the Bank to utilize outside sources for loan products, reducing the spread earned on these assets. Perpetual currently operates at a high operating expense ratio; operating expenses would likely increase if the Bank expands its products and/or services. Although the higher expected pro forma capital position is expected to enable the Bank to continue on a growth pattern, expectations of higher operating expenses resulting from the conversion and the uncertain cost of acquiring new deposit funds for lending result in the Bank's earnings appearing to have less upside potential than the Peer Group. o Return on Equity. On a pro forma basis the Bank's pro forma return on ---------------- equity will be lower to the Peer Group average, as the lower pro forma profitability is measured against a comparatively higher capital position. Overall, RP Financial made a moderate downward adjustment for profitability, growth and viability of earnings. 3. Asset Growth ------------ The Bank's asset growth in recent periods has been higher than the Peer Group's, which has been achieved in part by the opening of a new branch office location and aggressive offerings of short-term CD accounts (7- and 13-month time periods) and efforts to gain additional checking deposit accounts. Perpetual has in place both internal and external sources of loan products that can be used to reinvest available liquidity, and the Bank intends to continue to grow in future periods, and is expected to have adequate capital post-conversion to support such growth. We concluded that a slight upward adjustment was warranted for the Bank's asset growth potential. 4. Primary Market Area ------------------- The general condition of a financial institution's market area has an impact on value, as future success is in part dependent upon opportunities for profitable activities in the local market area. Summary demographic and deposit market share data for the Bank and the Peer Group is included in Table 4.1. Perpetual's market area of Anderson County, South Carolina is a urban/rural market that has been experiencing growing levels of population and households in recent years, while the Peer Group companies operate on average in smaller, more rural Table 4.1 Peer Group Market Area Comparative Analysis Per Capita Income Population Proj. ----------------- Deposit ------------ Pop. 1990-97 1997-2002 % State Market Institution County 1990 1997 2002 % Change % Change Median Age Amount Average Share(1) - ----------- ------ ---- ---- ---- -------- -------- ---------- ------ ------- -------- (000) (000) Bedford Bancshares of VA Bedford 46 54 59 17.2% 10.3% 38.2 $15,786 103.1% 16.0% Community Federal Bancorp of MS Lee 66 74 81 13.5% 8.2% 34.0 16,087 119.7% 14.4% Community Financial Corp. of VA Augusta 55 60 64 10.1% 6.3% 37.9 13,088 74.5% 3.5% FFBS Bancorp of Columbus MS Lowndes 59 62 63 3.9% 2.6% 31.5 15,528 115.6% 17.7% First SB, SSB of Moore Co. of NC Moore 59 70 78 18.7% 10.9% 40.9 19,350 110.5% 21.3% KS Bancorp of Kenly NC Johnston 81 102 116 24.9% 13.8% 36.3 17,233 98.4% 9.0% S.

Sources: CACI, Inc, SNL Securities RP Financial, LC. Page 4.6 markets that have also been growing at rates similar to that of the Bank. The per capita income in the Bank's market is below the average of the primary markets of the Peer Group members. Perpetual has a lower percentage of the market area deposits in comparison to the Peer Group on average, indicating that future increases in market share of deposits may be more achievable than that of the Peer Group. The Bank's competitive position is not dissimilar from the average position of the Peer Group institutions in their primary market areas. On balance, RP Financial concluded that a slight upward adjustment was warranted for market area. 5. Dividends --------- As stated in SouthBanc's offering circular, the Holding Company intends to implement a cash dividend policy during the first full quarter following consummation of the conversion at an estimated rate equal to the pre-conversion dividend rate adjusted for the exchange ratio of the conversion. The ability to pay a dividend will be based on numerous factors including growth objectives, financial condition, the amount of net proceeds retained by the Holding Company in the conversion, investment opportunities available to the Holding Company and the Bank, profitability, tax considerations, minimum capital requirements, regulatory limitations, stock market characteristics and general economic conditions. Historically, savings institutions typically have not established dividend policies at the time of their conversion to stock ownership. Newly converted institutions, in general, have preferred to gain market seasoning, establish an earnings track record and more fully invest the conversion proceeds before establishing a dividend policy. However, during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with negative publicity surrounding savings institutions, there was a tendency for more institutions to initiate moderate dividend policies concurrent with their conversion as a means of increasing the attractiveness of the stock offering. Today, fewer institutions are compelled to initially establish dividend policies at the time of their conversion offering to increase the attractiveness of the stock issue as: (1) industry profitability has improved, (2) the number of problem thrift institutions has declined, and (3) the stock market cycle for thrift stocks is generally more favorable than in the early 1990s. At the same time, with ROE ratios under pressure, due to high equity levels, well-capitalized institutions are subject to increased competitive pressures to offer dividends and a number of institutions have instituted special dividends. As publicly-traded savings institution's capital levels and profitability have improved and as weakened institutions have been resolved, the proportion of institutions with cash dividend policies has increased. All eleven institutions in the Peer Group presently pay regular cash dividends, with implied dividend yields ranging from 1.48 percent to 3.78 percent. The average dividend yield on the stocks of the Peer Group institutions was 2.39 percent as of December 5, 1997, representing an average earnings payout ratio of 47.73 percent. As of December 5, 1997, approximately 85 percent of all publicly-traded savings institutions had adopted cash dividend RP Financial, LC. Page 4.7 policies (see Exhibit IV-1), exhibiting an average yield of 1.82 percent and an average payout ratio of 35.06 percent. The dividend paying institutions generally maintain higher than average profitability ratios, facilitating their ability to pay cash dividends, which supports a market pricing premium on average relative to non-dividend paying institutions. The Holding Company's ability following the completion of the conversion to pay a dividend would appear to be similar relative to the Peer Group based on higher pro forma capital, offset by lower post-conversion earnings. The Holding Company's stated intention to implement a dividend shortly after completion of the conversion is a favorable comparison to the Peer Group companies and thus no adjustment is warranted for this valuation factor. 6. Liquidity of the Shares ----------------------- The Peer Group is by definition composed of companies that are traded in the public markets, eight of which trade on the NASDAQ system and three that trade on the AMEX. Typically, the number of shares outstanding and market capitalization provides an indication of how much liquidity there will be in a particular stock. The market capitalization of the Peer Group companies ranged from $16.0 million to $93.7 million as of December 5, 1997, with an average market value of $44.9 million. The shares outstanding of the Peer Group members ranged from 0.7 million to 4.6 million, with average shares outstanding of approximately 2.0 million. The Bank's pro forma market value is expected to be greater than the comparative Peer Group averages, with a higher number of shares outstanding. The Bank's stock is expected to be listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, and accordingly, we anticipate the liquidity of the Bank's shares will be similar to that of the Peer Group on average, and thus there has been no valuation adjustment applied for this factor. 7. Marketing of the Issue ---------------------- We believe that five separate markets exists for savings institution stocks coming to market such as Perpetual: (A) the after-market for public companies, in which trading activity is regular and investment decisions are made based upon financial condition, earnings, capital, ROE and dividends; (B) the new issue market in which converting thrifts are evaluated on the basis of the same factors but on a pro forma basis without the benefit of a stock trading history and reporting quarterly operating results as a publicly-held company; (C) the market for second step conversions by MHCs; (D) the acquisition market for savings institution franchises in South Carolina; and (E) the market for the public stock of Perpetual. All of these markets were considered in the valuation of the Bank's second step conversion. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.8 A. Public Market ------------- The value of publicly-traded thrift stocks is easily measurable, and is tracked by most investment houses and related organizations. Exhibit IV-1 provides pricing and financial data on all publicly-traded thrifts. In general, thrift stock values react to market stimuli such as interest rates, inflation, perceived industry health, projected rates of economic growth, regulatory issues and stock market conditions in general. Exhibit IV-2 displays historical stock market trends for various indices and includes historical stock price index values for thrifts and commercial banks. Exhibit IV-3 displays historical stock price indices for thrifts only. In terms of assessing general stock market conditions, the stock market has generally trended higher over the past year. The Federal Reserve's decision not to raise interest rates at its September 1996 meeting, and generally positive third quarter earnings results sustained the upward momentum in the stock market during the beginning of the fourth quarter of 1996. Favorable inflation data and lower interest rates further spurred the upward trend in the stock market prior to the election. Investors were cheered by the "status quo" election results, as stocks rallied strongly immediately following the election with the DJIA posting ten consecutive advances through mid- November. Economic stability and a rising bond market sustained the stock market rally through the end of November. For the entire month of November, the DJIA increased 492.3 points, or 8.2 percent. Following the rapid rise in the stock market during November, stocks retreated during the first half of December. Profit taking, concern about speculative excesses in the stock market and higher interest rates all contributed to the decline in the stock market. The stock market resumed an upward trend during the end of 1996 and the first three weeks of 1997, with the DJIA establishing several new highs in the process. Factors contributing to the rally in the stock market included the Federal Reserve's decision to leave rates unchanged at its December meeting, economic data which reflected moderate growth and low inflation, and favorable fourth quarter earnings particularly in the technology sector. However, a disappointing fourth quarter earnings report by IBM ignited a sell-off in the stock market in late-January. Higher interest rates extended the downturn, as the 30-year bond approached 7.0 percent at the end of January. A high degree of market volatility was evident throughout most of February 1997, reflecting concern over speculative excesses in the stock market; particularly, as the DJIA closed above the 7000 mark in mid-February. Profit taking, growing expectations of a correction and comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman pulled the market lower in late-February. Following a downturn in late-February 1997, the market recovered in early-March. Despite increasing expectations of an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA") closed to a new record high of 7085.16 on March 11, 1997. However, an upward revision to the January retail sales figure triggered a one day sell-off in stocks and bonds on March 13, 1997, as the stronger than RP Financial, LC. Page 4.9 expected growth heightened expectations of an interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve. Unease over higher interest rates, profitability concerns in the technology sector and litigation concerns for tobacco stocks pulled the stock market lower in mid-March. As expected, the Federal Reserve increased the rate on short-term funds by 0.25 percent at its late-March meeting. Following the rate increase, the sell-off in the stock market became more severe amid further signs of an accelerating economy. Stocks bottomed-out on news of a stronger than expected rise in core producer prices for March, with the DJIA closing at 6391.69 on April 11, 1997, or 9.8 percent below its all-time high recorded a month ago. Some favorable first quarter earnings reports and news of a possible settlement by tobacco companies to resolve the threat of liability lawsuits provided for a modest recovery in the stock market in mid-April 1997. In late- April, the release of economic data which indicated mild inflationary pressures furthered the rally in bond and stock prices. News of a budget agreement and a favorable ruling for tobacco companies sent the stock market soaring to record highs in early-May. Mixed economic data and the Federal Reserve's decision to leave its target for the federal funds rate unchanged at its May meeting sustained a positive trend in the stock market through the end of May. Profit worries caused a sell-off in high technology stocks in early-June, while declining interest rates served to stabilize the broader market. Technology stocks rallied the stock market to new highs in mid-July, as a number of technology companies posted favorable second quarter earnings. Favorable inflation data, including second quarter GDP growth slowing to an annual rate of 2.2 percent versus 4.9 percent in the first quarter, and comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman which indicated that an increase in interest rates was not imminent, spurred bond and stock prices strongly higher during the second half of July. A decline in the July 1997 unemployment rate reversed the positive bond and stock market trends in early-August, as inflation concerns became more prominent. A declining dollar against the yen and mark sharpened the decline in bond prices, with the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond increasing from 6.32 percent at the end of July to 6.66 percent as of August 8, 1997. The sell-off pulled stock prices lower as well. While bond prices firmed in mid-August, notable volatility was evident in the stock market. The DJIA moved at least 100 points for five consecutive days from August 18, 1997 through August 21, 1997, which set a record for volatility. Profit worries among some of the large blue chip companies and mixed inflation readings were factors contributing to the roller- coaster performance of the stock market. Despite strengthening bond prices, stocks traded lower through the end of August. Bond prices moved higher on inflation data which showed that prices stayed low during the second quarter, even though second quarter GDP growth was revised upward to annual rate of 3.6 percent compared to an original estimate of 2.2 percent. Volatility returned to the stock market in early-September, with the DJIA posting a record breaking point increase of 257.36 on September 2, 1997. The rally was sparked by economic data that indicated manufacturing growth slowed in August, thereby easing investors' inflation worries. However, the rally was not RP Financial, LC. Page 4.10 sustained, as the DJIA pulled back following the one day rally. The pull back was largely attributed to profit worries, which more than offset favorable inflation news indicated by a slight increase in the national unemployment rate for August (4.9 percent in August versus 4.8 percent in July). Stocks fluctuated in a narrow trading range in mid-September, in anticipation of third quarter earnings and August economic data. The low inflation reading indicated by the August consumer price index sent stock and bond prices sharply higher on September 16, 1997, with the DJIA posting a 175 point increase and the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond posting its second largest decline in the 1990s. Uncertainty over third quarter earnings provided for a mixed stock market performance towards the end of September, while generally favorable inflation readings pushed interest rates to their lowest level in two years. The release of September employment data on October 3, 1997 caused bond and stock prices to soar in early trading activity, as the September unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.9 percent and fewer jobs than expected were added to the economy during September. However, most of the initial gains were erased by news of rising tensions between Iraq and Iran. On October 3, 1997, the DJIA closed at 8038.58. Lower interest rates provided for a positive stock market environment in the beginning of October 1997. However, congressional testimony by the Federal Reserve Chairman, in which he indicated that it would be difficult to maintain the current balance between tight labor markets and low inflation, caused stock and bond prices to skid in mid-October. Disappointing third quarter earnings in the technology sector sharpened the sell-off in the stock market, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA") posting consecutive losses of more than 1.0 percent on October 16 and 17. Stocks bounced back in early-week trading the following week, reflecting positive third quarter earnings surprises posted by some of the blue chip stocks. However, the recovery was abbreviated by global selling pressure led by the decline in the Hong Kong stock market, as the DJIA posted a two-day loss approximating 320 points on October 23 and 24. The sell-off in the world financial markets turned into a rout on the following Monday, with a 5.8 percent decline in the Hong Kong stock market fueling the largest ever point decline in the DJIA. On October 24, the DJIA declined 554 points or 7.2 percent. While the selling was broad based, technology stocks sensitive to Asian demand experienced some of the sharpest declines. The turmoil in the stock market provided for a sharp rally in U.S. Treasury bonds, reflecting a flight to quality by skittish investors. The stock market recovered strongly the day after the record breaking point decline, as the DJIA surged a record breaking 337 points on October 28. Comparatively, bond prices declined sharply on October 28, as investors pulled out of the Treasury market to reinvest into the stock market. Market conditions remained uneven through the week ended October 31, which was followed by a soaring stock market on November 3. The DJIA posted a 232 point increase on November 3, which was supported by a resurgence in the Hong Kong market. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.11 Following the one day rally, volatility returned to the stock market through mid- and late-November, however there was a general upward trend in prices, and by the end of November the market was testing the previous highs. With a certain level of volatility, the market's uneven performance was largely attributable to the ongoing influence of the international markets, particularly the Asian and Latin American markets. Bond prices benefitted from the turbulent stock market environment, despite renewed inflationary pressures indicated by the October unemployment rate dropping to a 24-year low of 4.7 percent. In mid- November, the yield on the 30-year bellwether Treasury issue approached 6.0 percent, its lowest level since February 1996. On December 5, 1997, the DJIA closed at 8149.13, an increase of 27.7 percent from one year earlier. Similar to the overall stock market, the market for thrift stocks has generally been favorable during the past twelve months. Thrift prices generally moved higher during October and November 1996. The upward trend in thrift prices was supported by lower interest rates, with the slow down in economic growth pushing the 30-year U.S. bond rate below 6.5 percent during the second half of November 1996. Investors also reacted positively to the SAIF rescue legislation, in light of the reduction in deposit insurance premiums to be paid by SAIF-insured thrifts following the one time special assessment. Similar to the overall stock market, thrift prices traded lower in early-December. Profit taking and expectations of higher interest rates were factors contributing to the pull back in thrift issues. Bullish sentiment for thrift stocks heightened at the beginning of 1997, as investors reacted positively to the favorable inflation data and generally strong fourth quarter earnings. The rally in thrift issues was driven by the large California institutions, reflecting expectations that there would be further consolidation among the large California thrifts. The acquisition speculation for the large California thrifts became a reality in mid-February, as H.F. Ahmanson's unsolicited offer to acquire Great Western Financial sent the SNL Index soaring in mid-February. Stable interest rates and acquisition activity supported higher thrift prices in early-March; however, like the stock market in general, the peak in thrift prices was followed by a sharp sell-off in mid-March. In fact, interest-rate sensitive issues were among the sectors hardest hit by the revised January retail sales report, as the 30-year bond approached 7.0 percent. Interest-rate sensitive issues continued to experience selling pressure in late-March and early-April, as signs of a strengthening economy pushed interest rates higher. The sell-off in thrift stocks culminated on April 11, 1997, as interest rates increased sharply on news of the higher than expected rise in core producer prices for March. Thrift prices edged modestly higher in mid-April, reflecting generally favorable first quarter earnings and a slight decline in interest rates following the release of economic data which showed that inflation was low. Favorable inflation data and the budget agreement provided for a more substantial rally in thrift stocks in late-April and early-May, as interest-rate sensitive issues were bolstered by declining interest rates. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.12 Thrift stocks continued to trend higher through June and early-July 1997, based on the improved interest rate outlook and an overall positive outlook for the economy. Generally favorable second quarter earnings and the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield declining below 6.50 percent served to further boost thrift prices in mid-July, with the declining interest rate environment serving to sustain the rally in thrift prices through the end of July. Thrift prices generally declined during the first half of August, due to higher interest rates and profit taking. From July 31, 1997 to August 15, 1997, the SNL Index declined by 3.7 percent. Thrift prices recovered modestly during the second half of August, as the Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates unchanged at its August meeting. Thrift stocks participated in the one day stock market rally on September 2, 1997, as evidenced by a 1.95 percent increase in the SNL Index. News of NationsBank's proposed acquisition of Barnett Banks for more than four times its book value appears to have further contributed to the one day run-up in thrift prices. In contrast to the overall stock market, thrift prices continued to move higher following the one day rally in the DJIA. Stable interest rates and acquisition news sustained the positive market for thrift issues. The decline in interest rates following the release of the August consumer price index in mid-September served to further the rally in thrift prices. During late-September and early-October, interest-rate sensitive issues in general benefited from the declining interest rate environment and expectations of strong third quarter earnings. Prices of thrift and bank stocks also continued to be positively influenced by industry consolidation and rising acquisition multiples being paid for thrift and bank franchises. The SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts closed at 746.3 on October 3, 1997 Declining interest rates supported an advance in thrift prices in early-October; however, the upward trend in thrift prices stalled in mid- October, as interest rates moved higher following warnings by the Federal Reserve Chairman of inflation creeping back into the economy due to the tight labor markets. Thrift stocks gyrated in conjunction with the overall market in late-October, with the SNL index declining by 5.2 percent on October 27 and increasing by 2.4 percent on October 28. Thrift prices further recovered on October 29, which was supported by a rally in the bond market. Aided by the favorable interest rate climate, thrift stocks posted further gains in early- November and then retreated modestly in mid-November. Thrift and bank issues retreated on concerns that a slowing U.S. economy could lead to weaker loan demand and higher delinquency rates. However, led by the strengthening bond market, thrift and bank issues moved higher during the last half of November. On December 5, 1997, the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts closed at 798.3, an increase of 68.5 percent from one year earlier. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.13 B. The New Issue Market -------------------- In addition to thrift stock market conditions in general, the new issue market for converting thrifts is also an important consideration in determining the Bank's pro forma market value. Interest in converting savings institution issues receded somewhat in the second quarter of 1996, as indicated by fewer oversubscriptions and generally weak aftermarket trading performance. However, interest returned to converting issues during the second half of 1996, as most offerings experienced healthy oversubscriptions. Fewer offerings, more attractive pricing, lower interest rates, and the general positive trend in thrift prices were among the most prominent factors contributing to the renewed investor interest shown for converting thrift issues. The favorable market environment for converting thrift issues has generally been sustained during the first three quarters of 1997; however, in comparison to other periods of market strength for thrift stocks, the number of conversion offerings completed during the past three months has been relatively low. As shown in Table 4.2, the median one week change in price for offerings completed during the latest three months equaled positive 55.0 percent. In examining the current pricing characteristics of institutions completing their conversions during the last three months (see Table 4.3), we note there exists a considerable difference in pricing ratios compared to the universe of all publicly-traded thrifts. Specifically, the current average P/B ratio of the conversions completed in the most recent three month period of 133.82 percent reflects a discount of 18.0 percent from the average P/B ratio of all publicly-traded savings institutions (equal to 163.19 percent), and the average core P/E ratio of 32.06 times reflects a premium of 59.0 percent from the all public average core P/E ratio of 20.17 times. The pricing ratios of the better capitalized but lower earning recently converted savings institutions (based on return on equity measures) suggest that the investment community has determined to discount their stocks on a book basis until the earnings improve through redeployment and leveraging of the proceeds over the longer term. In determining our valuation adjustment for marketing of the issue, we considered trends in both the overall savings institution market and the new issue market. The overall market for savings institution stocks is considered to be strong, as savings institution stocks are currently exhibiting pricing ratios that are at or are approaching historically high levels. Investor interest in the new issue market has been favorable, as most of the recently completed offerings have been oversubscribed and have recorded price increases in initial post-conversion trading activity.

Copyright (c) 1997 by RP Financial, LC. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.16 C. Secondary Step Conversion Market -------------------------------- There is a pronounced difference in the pricing of second step conversions relative to full conversion offerings in which 100 percent of the shares are issued. As noted in Table 4.4, during the past 12 months, the median pro forma price/tangible book ratios of second step conversions exceeded 95 percent, as compared to the median price/tangible book of conversions over the last three months which just exceeds 72 percent, perhaps reflecting the smaller offering and some seasoning as a public company for second steps. Furthermore, as shown in Table 4.5, assuming the publicly-traded MHCs completed second step conversions (utilizing standard assumptions for each MHC) at their current market prices, the implied median price/tangible book is computed at approximately 108.78 percent. D. Acquisition Market ------------------ Also considered in the valuation was the potential impact on Perpetual's stock price of recently completed and pending acquisitions of other thrifts operating in Perpetual's market area. As shown in Exhibit IV-4, there were five South Carolina savings institutions acquired since the beginning of 1996. The recent acquisition activity involving South Carolina savings institutions may imply a certain degree of acquisition speculation for the Bank's stock. To the extent that acquisition speculation may impact the Bank's offering, we have largely taken this into account in selecting primarily South Carolina or Southeastern U.S. savings institutions that also experience a degree of acquisition speculation. E. Trading in Perpetual's Stock ---------------------------- Since Perpetual's minority stock currently trades under the symbol "PERT" on the NASDAQ National Market system, RP Financial also considered the recent trading activity in its valuation analysis. Perpetual had a total of 1,508,873 shares issued and outstanding at September 30, 1997, of which 708,873 were held by Public Stockholders and were traded as public securities. As of December 5, 1997, the Bank's stock price was $54.75 per share. Prior to the announcement of the second step conversion, the shares were trading in the range of $36.00 to $41.00. The day the second step was announced, the shares increased to a range of $45.00 to $48.50 on heavy volume and closed at $48.50. We attribute the price increase to some speculation and the current pricing has placed it at a premium to the average P/TB of other MHCs. There are significant differences between the Bank's minority stock (currently being traded) and the conversion stock that will be issued by the Holding Company.

Since the pro forma impact has not been publicly disseminated to date, it is appropriate to discount the current trading level. As the pro forma impact is made known publicly, the trading level will become more informative. Taking these factors and trends into account, RP Financial concluded that a slight upward adjustment was appropriate in the valuation analysis for purposes of marketing of the issue. 8. Management ---------- Perpetual's management team has experience and expertise in all of the key areas of the Bank's operations. Exhibit IV-5 lists Perpetual's Board of Directors and executive management with summary resumes. The Bank's operations to date indicates that Perpetual's management team, in conjunction with the Board, has developed and implemented an effective operating philosophy. Perpetual has no apparent senior management or Board vacancies and there appears to be a well-defined organizational structure. Similarly, the financial results of the Peer Group companies indicate that they have been effectively managed, as all of the Peer Group companies maintained capital positions in compliance with regulatory requirements, solid core earnings and favorable credit quality measures. We have therefore concluded that, in general, Perpetual is currently being operated at least as effectively as the Peer Group companies and no adjustment for this factor was necessary. 9. Effect of Government Regulation and Regulatory Reform ----------------------------------------------------- The 1996 recapitalization of the SAIF insurance fund has removed the difference in deposit insurance costs between BIF and SAIF-insured institutions. As a fully-converted SAIF-insured institution, Perpetual will operate in substantially the same regulatory environment as the Peer Group members -- all of whom are adequately capitalized institutions and are operating with no apparent restrictions. Exhibit IV-6 reflects the Bank's pro forma regulatory capital ratios. On balance, RP Financial concluded that no adjustment to the Bank's value was warranted for this factor. Summary of Adjustments - ---------------------- Overall, we believe the Bank's pro forma market value should take into account the valuation adjustments relative to the Peer Group: RP Financial, LC. Page 4.21 Table 4.6 Perpetual Bank, A Federal Savings Bank Key Valuation Parameters Key Valuation Parameters: Valuation Adjustment ------------------------ -------------------- Financial Condition No Adjustment Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings Moderate Downward Asset Growth Slight Upward Primary Market Area Slight Upward Dividends No Adjustment Liquidity of the Shares No Adjustment Marketing of the Issue Slight Upward Management No Adjustment Effect of Government Regulations and Regulatory Reform No Adjustment Valuation Approaches - -------------------- In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS and adopted by the FDIC, i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing ratios in valuing Perpetual's to-be-issued stock -- the price/earnings ("P/E"), price/book ("P/B"), and price/assets ("P/A") approaches - -- all performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of the MHC's interest to the public. In computing the pro forma impact of the conversion and the related pricing ratios, we have incorporated the valuation parameters disclosed in Perpetual's prospectus for offering expenses, and the effective tax rate and stock benefit plan assumptions (summarized in Exhibits IV-7 and IV-8). We have utilized the reinvestment rate set forth in the prospectus, the one year T-Bill rate as of September 30, 1997 of 5.68 percent, after comparing this rate to the rate derived from the OTS's suggested formula (6.33 percent). With regard to the employee stock ownership plan and stock reward plans, we have performed the valuation assuming the MRP acquires 4.0 percent of the offering. In our estimate of value, we assessed the relationship of the pro forma pricing ratios relative to the Peer Group and the recent conversions. In addition to the three valuation methodologies specified by the OTS, RP Financial also considered the recent prices for trades of the Bank's stock. RP Financial's valuation placed emphasis on the following: o P/E Approach. The P/E approach is generally the best indicator of ------------ long-term value for a stock. Since the Bank and the Peer Group reported pro forma core profitability, the P/E approach was heavily considered in this valuation. In applying this approach, we took into account primarily estimated core earnings. o P/B Approach. P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark ------------ in the valuation of savings institution stocks, with the greater determinant of long term value being earnings. We have also modified the P/B approach to exclude the impact of intangible assets (i.e., RP Financial, LC. Page 4.22 price/tangible book value or "P/TB"). RP Financial considered the P/TB approach to be a reliable indicator of value given current market conditions, particularly the market for new conversions, which often exhibit a willingness to pay premium P/E multiples in the expectation that such institutions will implement leveraging strategies to promote earnings growth. At the same time, with lower ROE ratios, new conversions are typically discounted on a book value basis relative to the market at least until there is partial realization of leveraging strategies. o P/A Approach. P/A ratios are generally a less reliable indicator of ------------ market value, as investors do not place exclusive weight simply on the size of total assets as a determinant of market value. Furthermore, this approach does not take into account the amount of stock purchases funded by deposit withdrawals, thus understating the pro forma P/A ratio. Investors place significantly greater weight on book value and earnings -- which have received greater weight in our valuation analysis. At the same time, the P/A ratio is an indicator of franchise value and, in the case of a highly capitalized institution, a high P/A ratio limits the investment community's willingness to pay average market multiples for earnings and book value when ROE is low. o Trading of PERT Stock. Converting institutions generally do not have --------------------- stock outstanding. Perpetual, however, has public shares outstanding due to the mutual holding company form of ownership. Because PERT stock is currently traded in the markets, it is an indicator of investor interest in the Bank's conversion stock and therefore received some weight in our valuation. Based on the December 5, 1997 stock price of $54.75 per share and the 1,508,873 shares of Bank stock issued and outstanding, the implied value of $82.611 million was considered in the valuation process. However, since the conversion stock will have different characteristics than the minority shares and since pro forma information has not been publicly disseminated to date, the current trading price of PERT stock was somewhat discounted herein but will become more important towards the closing of the offering. The current minority ownership percentage is 46.98 percent. Pursuant to federal policy as established subsequent to February 1, 1995, the minority ownership interest is required to be adjusted pursuant to a two-step process to reflect both waived dividends and assets held by the MHC. However, the MHC was formed prior to this date, and thus dividends waived by the MHC are exempt from this minority ownership interest adjustment. In addition, assets held at the MHC consist of a de minimus amount of assets. Thus, there has been no adjustment to the minority ownership interest percentage. Our calculations for the exchange ratio and the size of the offering were based upon the existing ownership percentage of approximately 46.98 percent. The Bank has previously adopted Statement of Position ("SOP" 93-6), which causes earnings per share computations to be based on shares issued and outstanding excluding shares owned by an ESOP where there is not a commitment to release such shares. For the purpose of preparing the pro forma pricing tables and exhibits, we have continued to reflect all shares issued in the offering including shares exchanged by the existing ESOP in the full conversion offering to capture the full dilutive impact of such stock to the Bank's shareholders. However, we have considered the impact of adoption of SOP 93-6 on the Bank in the determination of the Bank's pro forma value. RP Financial, LC. Page 4.23 Based on the application of the three valuation approaches, taking into consideration the valuation adjustments discussed above, and placing the greatest weight on the P/TB and P/E approaches, followed by the P/A approach, RP Financial concluded that the pro forma market value of the Bank's conversion stock is $65,070,148 at the midpoint at this time. 1. Price-to-Tangible Book ("P/TB"). The application of the P/TB ------------------------------- valuation method requires calculating the Bank's pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/TB ratio to Perpetual's pro forma tangible book value. Based on the $65,070,148 midpoint valuation, Perpetual's pro forma P/TB ratio was 103.86 percent. In comparison to the average P/TB ratio for the Peer Group of 144.10 percent, Perpetual's valuation reflected a discount of 27.9 percent. RP Financial considered a discount under the P/TB approach to be reasonable in light of the valuation adjustments discussed previously. Given the historically high P/TB pricing for thrifts in today's market, a valuation discount under the P/TB approach could only be expected and is consistent with the aftermarket trading of new conversion issues. Given the emphasis on limiting near term aftermarket trading in the revised appraisal guidelines, RP Financial also considered the pro forma P/TB ratios of recent conversions in its valuation analysis. It is these companies that provide a proxy for aftermarket trading for new thrift issues. At the midpoint value of $65,070,148, Perpetual's pro forma P/TB ratio of 103.86 percent represented a discount of 22.4 percent from the 133.82 percent average P/TB ratio of the recently converted thrifts (see Table 4.3). At the super maximum of the valuation range, Perpetual's pro forma P/B ratio of 117.62 percent is discounted by approximately 12.1 percent from the new conversions. 2. Price-to-Earnings ("P/E"). The application of the P/E valuation ------------------------- method requires calculating the Bank's pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/E multiple times the pro forma earnings base. Ideally, the pro forma earnings base is composed principally of the Bank's recurring earnings base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude any one-time non-operating items, plus the estimated after-tax earnings benefit of the reinvestment of net conversion proceeds. Perpetual reported net income of $1,728,363 for fiscal 1997, which included non-operating items such as gains on the sale of securities and losses on the sale of loans and REO. In order to derive a core earnings base, we excluded these items from the Bank's reported earnings. In addition, during fiscal 1997 Perpetual enacted the "1996 MRP Plan", which was approved during calendar year 1996. The Bank recorded compensation expense related to the 1996 MRP Plan in the amount of $79,000 during fiscal year 1997, however on a go- forward basis expense related to this Plan is projected to total approximately $208,000 annually. Therefore, we also adjusted Perpetual's earnings for this "additional expense", estimated to total $129,000 on a pre-tax basis, which is expected to be incurred in fiscal 1998 and future years. The Bank's RP Financial, LC. Page 4.24 valuation earnings base was thus estimated to total $1,820,000 as shown in Table 4.7 (Note: the adjustments applied to the Peer Group's earnings in the calculation of core earnings are shown in Exhibit IV-9). Table 4.7 Perpetual Bank, A Federal Savings Bank Derivation of Estimated Core Earnings Amount ------ ($000) Pre-Tax Net Operating Income $2,654 Addback: Loss on Sale of Securities 308 Less: Gain on Sale of Loans/REO (33) Less: Additional 1996 MRP Expense (129) Adjusted Pre-Tax Income $2,800 Less: Tax Adjustment(1) (980) ---- Adjusted (Core) Income After Tax $1,820 (1) Tax rate equal to 35%. Based on Perpetual's trailing twelve month core earnings, and incorporating the impact of the pro forma assumptions previously discussed, the Bank's pro forma core P/E multiple at the $65,070,148 midpoint value equaled 23.04 times. Comparatively, the Peer Group posted an average core P/E multiple of 19.58 times, which indicates a premium of 17.7 percent in the Bank's pro forma earnings multiple. In reaching the valuation conclusion, we also evaluated the Bank's price/earnings multiple on the basis of projected earnings as reflected in the business plan. 3. Price-to-Assets ("P/A"). The P/A valuation methodology determines ----------------------- market value by applying a valuation P/A ratio to the Bank's pro forma asset base, conservatively assuming no deposit withdrawals are made to fund stock purchases. In all likelihood there will be deposit withdrawals, which results in understating the pro forma P/A ratio which is computed herein. At the midpoint of the valuation range, Perpetual's value equaled 22.51 percent of pro forma assets. Comparatively, the Peer Group companies exhibited an average P/A ratio of 26.76 percent, which implies a 15.9 percent discount being applied to the Bank's pro forma P/A ratio. Valuation Conclusion - -------------------- Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of December 5, 1997, the aggregate pro forma market value of the Bank, inclusive of the sale of the MHCs ownership interest in the Subscription and Community Offerings was $65,070,148 at the midpoint. Based on this valuation and the approximate 53.02 percent RP Financial, LC. Page 4.25 ownership interest being sold in the Subscription and Community Offerings, the midpoint value of the Holding Company's stock offering was $34,500,000 (i.e. 0.4698 x $65,070,148), equal to 1,725,000 shares offered at $20.00 per share. Pursuant to the conversion guidelines, the 15 percent offering range includes a minimum of $29,325,000 and a maximum of $39,675,000. Based on the $20.00 per share offering price, this valuation range equates to an offering of 1,466,250 shares at the minimum to 1,983,750 shares at the maximum. The Holding Company's offering also includes a provision for a super maximum, which would result in an offering size of $45,626,250, equal to 2,281,312 shares at the $20.00 per share offering price. The comparative pro forma valuation ratios relative to the Peer Group are shown in Table 4.8, and the key valuation assumptions are detailed in Exhibit IV-7. The pro forma calculations for the range are detailed in Exhibit IV-8. Establishment of Exchange Ratio - ------------------------------- OTS regulations provide that in a conversion of a mutual holding company, the minority stockholders are entitled to exchange their shares of the Bank's common stock for common stock of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Mutual Holding Company has independently established a formula to determine the exchange ratio. The formula has been designed to preserve the current aggregate percentage ownership in the Bank represented by the Public Shares, which is an approximate 46.98 percent ownership interest. Pursuant to the formula, the Exchange Ratio will be determined at the end of the Holding Company's stock offering based on the total number of shares sold in the Subscription and Community offerings. Based upon this formula, and the valuation conclusion and offering range concluded above, the Exchange Ratio would be 1.83281 shares, 2.15625 shares, 2.47969 shares and 2.85164 shares of Holding Company stock issued for each Public Share, at the minimum, midpoint, maximum and supermaximum of the offering, respectively. The Exchange Ratio formula and share exchange procedures were determined independently by the Board of Directors. RP Financial expresses no opinion on the proposed exchange of the Holding Company shares for the Public Shares or on the proposed Exchange Ratio.

REGIONAL ECONOMIC INFORMATION SYSTEM Table CA3O August 1997 BUREAU OF ECONOMIC ANALYSIS Footnotes for Table CA30, Regional Economic Profiles 1/ Total earnings less personal contributions for social insurance adjusted to place of residence. 2/ Consists largely of supplemental security income payments, payments to families with dependent children (AFDC), general assistance payments, food stamp payments, and other assistance payments, including emergency assistance. 3/ Census Bureau midyear population estimates. Estimates for 1990-95 reflect county population estimates available as of March 1997. The population estimates for the United States, Utah, and Cache, UT, 1991-94, have been adjusted by BEA for consistency with a special, upward adjustment made by the Census Bureau to its 1995 estimate for Cache County. Additionally, as a result of special and test censuses conducted in 1995, the Census Bureau reduced substantially the 1995 population estimates for Yuma, AZ; DeSoto, LA; Dorchester, SC; and Montgomery, TN, but made no adjustments to the estimates for the other years. For these counties, BEA was unable to make adjustments to the population estimates in time for this release, and the estimates of per capita personal income are discontinuous between 1994 and 1995. BEA's further adjustments to the population estimates for 1991-94 will be reflected in the release of State per capita personal income on September 19, 1997 and in the release of local area per capita personal income in the Spring of 1998. 4/ Type of income divided by population yields a per capita for that type of income. 5/ Excludes limited partners. 6/ Cibola, NM was separated from Valencia in June 1981, but in these estimates Valencia includes Cibola through the end of 1981. 7/ La Paz county, AZ was separated from Yuma county on January 1, 1983. The Yuma, AZ MSA includes La Paz, AZ through 1982. 8/ Estimates for 1979 forward reflect Alaska Census Areas as defined in the 1980 Decennial Census; those for prior years reflect Alaska Census Divisions as defined in the 1970 Decennial Census. Estimates from 1988 forward separate Aleutian Islands Census Area into Aleutians East Borough and Aleutians West Census Area. Estimates for 1991 forward separate Denali Borough from Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area and Lake and Peninsula Borough from Dillingham Census Area. Estimates from 1993 forward separate Skagway- Yakutat-Angoon Census Area into Skagway-Hoonah-Angoon Census Area and Yakutat Borough. 9/ Shawano, WI and Menominee, WI are combined as Shawano (incl.

Estimates for 1990-95 reflect county population estimates available as of March 1997. The population estimates for the United States, Utah, and Cache, UT, 1991-94, have been adjusted by BEA for consistency with a special, upward adjustment made by the Census Bureau to its 1995 estimate for Cache County. Additionally, as a result of special and test censuses conducted in 1995, the Census Bureau reduced substantially the 1995 population estimates for Yuma, AZ; DeSoto, LA; Dorchester, SC; and Montgomery, TN, but made no adjustments to the estimates for the other years. For these counties, BEA was unable to make adjustments to the population estimates in time for this release, and the estimates of per capita personal income are discontinuous between 1994 and 1995. BEA's further adjustments to the population estimates for 1991-94 will be reflected in the release of State per capita personal income on September 19, 1997 and in the release of local area per capita personal income in the Spring of 1998. 4/ Personal contributions for social insurance are included in earnings by type and industry but excluded from personal income. 5/ The adjustment for residence is the net inflow of the earnings of interarea commuters. For the United States, it consists of adjustments for border workers: Earnings of U.S. residents commuting outside U.S. borders to work less earnings of foreign residents commuting inside U.S. borders to work and of certain Caribbean seasonal workers. 6/ Includes the capital consumption adjustment for rental income of persons. 7/ Includes the inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments. 8/ "Other" consists of wage and salary disbursements of U.S. residents employed by international organizations and foreign embassies and consulates in the United States. 13/ Estimates for 1979 forward reflect Alaska Census Areas as defined in the 1980 Decennial Census; those for prior years reflect Alaska Census Divisions as defined in the 1970 Decennial Census.
