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 nine month periods ended March 31, 1999, 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, 1998, which are included in the Form 10-KSB by reference (file no. 0-24476). 3. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share for all periods presented is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares, which include stock options. Dilutive potential common shares are calculated using the treasury stock method. 8 SOUTH CAROLINA COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued 4. Asset Quality At March 31, 1999, the Company had total nonperforming loans (i.e., loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more) of approximately $1,149,000. Nonperforming loans were 2.96 % of total loans at March 31, 1999. Total nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets at March 31, 1999 were 2.79%. Nonperforming assets include the nonperforming loans of $1,149,000 plus $118,000 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, 1998 and March 31, 1999 The Company's total consolidated assets decreased by approximately $2.6 million or 5.3% from $48.0 million at June 30, 1998 to $45.4 million at March 31, 1999. The decrease in assets for the period was primarily attributable to assets used to repay a $2.4 million public deposit that was withdrawn during the period. This deposit was short-term in nature. The composition of the Company's balance sheet has not been materially affected by market conditions between June 30, 1998 and March 31, 1999. Net loans increased $2.5 million or 6.8% as a result of new loan originations exceeding principal repayments and refinancing payoffs. Consistent with its historical lending practices, the Company's loan portfolio as of March 31, 1999 consisted primarily of fixed rate loans with maturities of up to twenty-five (25) years. The Company also makes thirty (30) year loans. 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". Deposits decreased $1.9 million or 5.1%, from $38.0 million at June 30, 1998 to $36.1 million at March 31, 1999. The decrease in deposits was primarily attributable to the withdrawal of a public deposit of $2.4 million offset by new deposits. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 Net Income. Net income decreased $13,000 from $122,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $109,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The return on average assets was 1.06% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to .95 % for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $31,000 or 6.7% from $466,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $435,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The decline in net interest income primarily reflects a decrease in interest rate spread from 3.32% for three months ending March 31, 1998 to 3.11% for the three months ended March 31, 1999. 10 Interest Income. Total interest income decreased $44,000 from $889,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $845,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Interest on investments decreased $32,000 or 42.7% as the average portfolio decreased by approximately $2.1 million. Interest on interest earning deposits decreased $17,000 or 31.5% as the average portfolio decreased by approximately $929,000. Average interest earning assets have been declining primarily to provide funds for stock repurchases plans and new loan originations. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $13,000 from $423,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $410,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The decrease for the three months ending March 31, 1999 was primarily the result a 14 basis point decrease in the cost of funds. The Savings Bank continues to concentrate on attracting transactional accounts that carry a lower cost of funds. Provision for Loan Losses. The Company did not record any provision for loan losses for either of the three month periods ended March 31. Historically, management has emphasized the Company's loss experience over other factors in establishing provisions for loan losses. However, 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. The ratio of the allowance to non-performing loans at March 31, 1999 was 25.5% and nonperforming loans to total loans were only 2.96%. Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $5,000 for the three months ending March 31, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998. Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased by $28,000 or 8.9% from $314,000 for the three months ending March 31, 1998 to $286,000 for 1999. The decrease was the result of management's efforts to control operating expenses. Compensation expense and employee benefits decreased $17,000 or 9.7%, due to the lower expense recognized for ESOP compensation because of lower average stock prices during the March 99 quarter compared to the same period in 1998. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 Net Income. Net income increased $15,000 or 4.8% from $311,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 to $326,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999. The return on average assets was 0.90 % for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 compared to .95 % for the nine months ended March 31, 1999. Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $72,000 or 5.2% from $1,382,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 to $1,310,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999. The decline in net interest income primarily reflects a decrease in average interest earning assets of approximately $414,000 compounded by an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of approximately $906,000 or 2.6%. The interest rate spread also decreased from 3.11% for nine months ending March 31, 1998 to 3.09 % for the nine months ending March 31, 1999. 11 Interest Income. Total interest income decreased $79,000 or 3.0% from $2,654,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 to $2,575,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999. Interest on loans increased $25,000, or 1.1%. Interest on investments and interest earning deposits decreased in aggregate by $104,000 or 27.1%, as these average portfolios during the nine months ending March 31, 1999 were approximately $2.1 million less than the same period in 1998. Declines in these average interest-earning assets have funded new loans and stock repurchase plans. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $7,000 from $1,272,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 to $1,265,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999. The decrease for the nine months ending March 31, 1999 was the result of a 15 basis point decrease in the average cost of funds offset by a $906,000 increase in the average deposits outstanding as compared to the same period in 1998. Provision for Loan Losses. The Company did not record any provision for loan losses for either of the nine month periods ended March 31. Historically, management has emphasized the Company's loss experience over other factors in establishing provisions for loan losses. However, 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. Non-Interest Income. This income was $90,000 for the nine months ending March 31, 1998 and $93,000 for the same period in 1999. Management continues to concentrate on generating additional fee income. Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased by $93,000 or 9.7% from $961,000 for the nine months ending March 31, 1998 to $868,000 for 1999. Expenses associated with the expanded bank facilities, products and general operations have stabilized. Management is continuing its efforts to control operating expenses. Compensation expense and employee benefits decreased $23,000 or 4.5%, due to the lower expense recognized for ESOP compensation because of lower average stock prices during the comparable periods. Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's primary sources of funds are new deposits, investment maturities and proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans. While maturities of investments 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 adequat to fund loan commitments, investment opportunities, deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments. At March 31, 1999 commitments to fund new loans were approximately $764,000 and unfunded loans in process were approximately $350,000. At March 31, 1999, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures. At March 31, 1999, 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. Further at March 31, 1999, management was not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities, which, if implemented, would have such an effect. 12 The Savings Bank exceeded all of its capital requirements at March 31, 1999. The Savings Bank had the following capital ratios at March 31, 1999 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 March 31, 1999: Adjusted total Capital (To risk weighted assets) $ 8,119 33.8% $ 1,920 8.0% $ 2,401 10.0% Tier I Capital (To risk weighted assets) $ 7,827 32.6% $ 960 4.0% $ 1,440 6.0% Tier I Capital (To total assets) $ 7,827 17.6% $ 1,782 4.0% $ 2,228 5.0% (1) As categorized under the Prompt Corrective Action Provisions. Year 2000 Issues. The Company has formulated a Year 2000 Compliance Plan to address the Year 2000 issue. The phases identified under the plan are awareness, assessment, renovation, validation and implementation. The purpose of the plan is to outline the procedures necessary for assuring that the Company is in a state of readiness for the century date change. Substantially all of the Company's material data processing functions are provided by a third party service bureau. The service bureau has advised th Company in writing that it is Year 2000 compliant. The Company has received certifications of compliance from approximately 90% of its other software vendors. Company personnel have completed testing on all computer hardware and software with minimal failures being detected. The Company is making written and oral inquiries of customers, suppliers and non-information technology providers as to their year 2000 readiness. Testing to date indicates very little hard cost of remediation in management's opinion, with the primary cost of the Company's Year 2000 compliance being staff time during the assessment, testing and implementation stages. As of March 31, 1999, the Company has incurred approximately $5,000 in expenses toward remediating the Year 2000 issue. Based on the results of further system testing and results of written and oral inquiries, the Company will continue to develop its contingency plan to provide solutions to the Year 2000 issue. This contingency plan will be designed to prepare an operating alternative in the event that systems do not perform as planned either before or after the century date change. The Company 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. Successful implementation of this plan is expected to mitigate any extraordinary expenses related to the Year 2000 issue. However, no assurance can be given that the Year 2000 compliance plan will be completed successfully by the Year 2000. 13 Successful and timely completion of the Year 2000 project is based on management's best estimates derived from various assumptions of future events. These events are inherently uncertain, including the progress and results of vendors, suppliers and customers Year 2000 readiness. 14 Part II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company and any subsidiary may be a party to various legal proceedings incident to its or their business. At March 31, 1999, there were no legal proceedings to which the Company or any subsidiary was a party, or to which of any of their property was subject, which were expected by management to result in a material loss.
