AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. General ------- South Carolina Community Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of becoming the savings and loan holding company of Community Federal Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank"). Both companies are headquartered in Winnsboro, South Carolina. The Company is engaged primarily in the business of directing, planning and coordinating the business activities of the Savings Bank. The financial statements of the Savings Bank are presented on a consolidated basis with those of the Company. 2. Basis of Preparation -------------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of stockholders' equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The statements of income for the three and/or six month period ended December 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the Company for the year ended June 30, 1997. 3. Earnings Per Share ------------------ Earnings per share amounts for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, are based on the average number of shares and equivalents outstanding throughout the period. Unallocated ESOP shares are not considered as outstanding for purposes of this calculation. 4. Treasury Stock --------------- During the six months ending December 31, 1997, the holding company repurchased 116,700 shares of common stock held in treasury. These repurchases represents 16.7% of the 8 SOUTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- outstanding common stock at June 30, 1997. The holding company also utilized 240 shares of treasury stock for issuance to an employee who excercised her stock options. 5. Deposit Insurance Assessment ---------------------------- The Company was required to pay a special assessment to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF).The Company recorded the special assessment for deposit insurance premiums of approximately $193,000 in operations for the six months ending December 31, 1996, with an after tax impact on net income of approximately $127,000. 6. Asset Quality ------------- At December 31, 1997, the Company had total nonperforming loans (i.e., loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more) of approximately $590,000. Nonperforming loans was 1.62% of total loans at December 31, 1997. Total nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets at December 31, 1997 was 1.53%. Nonperforming assets include the nonperforming loans of $590,000 plus $101,000 of real estate owned. 9 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and the results of operations of the Company. References to the "Company" include South Carolina Community Bancshares, Inc. and/or Community Federal Savings Bank as appropriate. COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 1997 AND DECEMBER 31, 1997 The Company's total consolidated assets decreased by approximately $1.5 million or 3.2% from $46.6 million at June 30, 1997 to $45.1 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease in assets for the period was primarily attributable to assets used to fund treasury stock purchases of $2.7 million. The composition of the Company's balance sheet has not been materially affected by market conditions between June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1997. Net loans remained relatively level while interest earning deposits decreased by $2.4 million. The funds were used to fund the treasury stock purchases and a $1.3 million increase in investment securities. Consistent with its historical lending practices, the Company's loan portfolio at December 31 1997 consisted primarily of fixed rate loans with maturities of up to twenty-five (25) years. Consequently, the Company is exposed to a high degree of interest rate risk in a rising interest rate environment. The Company has historically accepted this risk in light of its relatively high capital levels. See Liquidity and Capital Resources" discussion below. Deposits increased $1.2 million or 3.6%, from $34.0 million at June 30, 1997 to $35.2 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in deposits was primarily attributable to an increase in certificates of deposit. The balances in now accounts, money market and passbook savings showed no significant change. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1997 NET INCOME. Net income decreased $64,000 from $134,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 to $70,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997. The return on average assets was 1.15% for the three months ended December 31, 1996 compared to .61 % for the three months ended December 31, 1997. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income decreased $23,000 from $467,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 to $444,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997. The decline in net interest income reflects a combination of increased interest expense and a decrease in total interest income. 10 INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income decreased $8,000 from $886,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 to $878,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997. Interest on interest earning deposits decreased $13,000, or 19.1%. Interest earning deposits were utilized during the three months ending December 31, 1997 to repurchase $2.7 million of treasury stock. Therefore interest earning assets have been reduced to reduce the capital of the Company. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $15,000 or 3.6% from $419,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996 to $434,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997. The increase for the three months ending December 31, 1997 was the result of a $2.0 million increase in the average interest bearing deposits offset by an 11 basis point decrease in the cost of funds. Average certificates of deposits accounted for $1.5 million of the average balance increase. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Company did not record any provision for loan losses for either of the three month periods ended December 31, 1996 or 1997. Management has reviewed the allowance for loan losses in relation to the Company's composition of its loan portfolio and observations of the general economic climate and loan loss expectations. Based on the loss model, management feels that the allowance for loan loss is adequate at the end of both periods. The ratio of the allowance to non-performing loans at December 31, 1997 was 49.7% and nonperforming loans to total loans was only 1.64%. NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income increased $11,000 for the three months ending December 31, 1997. This increase was the result of additional banking services being offered to customers in 1997 that were not offered in 1996 that generated $12,000 of service fee income. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense increased by $89,000 from $257,000 for the three months ending December 31, 1996 to $346,000 for 1997. The increase was the direct result of a $19,000 or 12.8% increase in compensation expense primarily from additional employees added following the branch acquisition, normal salary increases and additional expense recognized on ESOP shares released at fair market value as compared to the same period in 1996. Net occupancy expense increased $9,000 and data processing increased $5,000 as a result of expanded operations and the addition of the branch location. Other non-interest expenses increased by $71,000 as a result of expanded banking services being offerred, a second office facility, and other related daily operating expenses. COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1997 NET INCOME. Net income, excluding the impact of $127,000 for the SAIF assessment in 1996, decreased $88,000 from $277,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 to $189,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The return on average assets was 1.18% pre- SAIF for the six months ended December 31, 1996 compared to .82 % for the six months ended December 31, 1997. 11 NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income increased only $3,000 from $913,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 to $916,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The improvement in net interest income reflects primarily the Company's ability to obtain transaction account deposits which carry a lower cost of funds. INTEREST INCOME. Total interest income increased $35,000 from $1,730,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 to $1,765,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997. Interest on loans increased $55,000, or 3.8%. Interest on investments decreased $19,000 as the average investment portfolio during the six months ending December 31, 1997 was approximately $533,000 less than the same period in 1996. These funds were used primarily to fund stock repurchases. INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $32,000 from $817,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 to $849,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The increase for the six months ending December 31, 1997 was the result of a $2.4 million increase in the average interest bearing deposits offset by a 17 basis point decrease in the cost of funds. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Company did not record any provision for loan losses for either of the six month periods ended December 31, 1996 or 1997. Management has reviewed the allowance for loan losses in relation to the Company's composition of its loan portfolio and observations of the general economic climate and loan loss expectations. Based on the loss model, management feels that the allowance for loan loss is adequate at the end of both periods. NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income increased $28,000 for the six months ending December 31, 1997. This increase was the result of additional banking services being offered to customers in 1997 that were not offered in 1996. Service fee income was $23,000 for the six months ending December 31, 1997. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense, excluding the pre-tax effect of the one-time SAIF assessment of $193,000, increased by $153,000 from $494,000 for the six months ending December 31, 1996 to $647,000 for 1997. The increase was the direct result of a $53,000 increase in compensation expense primarily from additional employees added following the branch acquisition and normal salary increases, and additional ESOP expense recognized. Net occupancy expense increased $19,000 and data processing increased $14,000 as a result of increased operations and the addition of the branch location. Other non-interest expenses increased by $95,000 as a result of expanded banking services being offerred, general operating needs of a second office facility, and other related daily operating expenses. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, and investment maturities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company's primary investing activity is loan originations. The Company maintains liquidity levels adequate to fund loan commitments, investment opportunities, deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments. 12 At December 31, 1997, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures. Obligations to fund outstanding loan commitments at December 31, 1997 were approximately $63,000. At December 31, 1997, management had no knowledge of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have or are reasonably likely to have material effects on the liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Company. Furthermore, management was not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if implemented, would have such an effect. The Savings Bank exceeded all of its capital requirements at December 31, 1997. The Savings Bank had the following capital ratios at December 31,1997 and was categorized as "well capitalized" under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations adopted by the OTS pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991. FOR CAPITAL CATEGORIZED AS ACTUAL ADEQUACY PURPOSES "WELL CAPITALIZED"(1) -------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- AMOUNT RATIO AMOUNT RATIO AMOUNT RATIO -------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- As of December 31, 1997: Adjusted total Capital (To risk weighted assets) $8,465 38.9% $1,743 8.00% $2,179 10.0% Tier I Capital (To risk weighted assets) $8,193 37.6% $ 871 4.00% $1,307 6.0% Tier I Capital (To total assets) $8,193 18.3% $1,342 3.00% $2,237 5.0% Tangible Capital (To total assets) $8,193 18.3% $ 671 1.50% $2,237 5.0% (1) As categorized under the Prompt Corrective Action Provisions. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. The Company has established a plan to address Year 2000 issues. Successful implementation of this plan will eliminate any extraordinary expenses related to the Year 2000 issue. Management has received confirmation from its sole data processing company regarding their Year 2000 plans and compliance. The plan also addresses receiving confirmation from other outside vendors who provide computer related services that could be impacted by the issue. Management plans to request from its data processing company information that would enable it to test all critical systems by mid 1998 in order to ensure compliance by December 31, 1998. Management has a reasonable basis to conclude that the Year 2000 issue will not materially affect future financial results, or cause reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results or future financial condition. 13 Part II.
