statements, as of September 30, 2002 and for the interim periods ended September
30, 2002 and 2001, are unaudited and, in the opinion of management,  include all
adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring  adjustments)  considered necessary
for a fair presentation.  The financial  information as of December 31, 2001 has
been derived from the audited financial  statements as of that date. For further
information,  refer  to the  financial  statements  and the  notes  included  in
Regional Bancshares, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The  following  is a  discussion  of the  Company's  financial  condition  as of
September 30, 2002 compared to December 31, 2001,  and the results of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the three and
nine  months  ended  September  30,  2001.  These  comments  should  be  read in
conjunction with the Company's condensed  financial  statements and accompanying
footnotes  appearing  in this  report.  This  report  contains  "forward-looking
statements" relating to, without limitation, future economic performance,  plans
and objectives of management for future operations,  and projections of revenues
and  other  financial  items  that are  based on the  beliefs  of the  Company's
management,  as well as assumptions made by and information  currently available
to the Company's management.  The words "expect,"  "estimate,"  "anticipate" and
"believe,"   as  well  as  similar   expressions,   are   intended  to  identify
forward-looking  statements.  The Company's actual results may differ materially
from the results discussed in the forward-looking  statements, and the Company's
operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties
that are discussed in detail in the Company's  filings with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

For the nine months ended  September  30, 2002,  net interest  income  increased
$386,171,  or 47.72%,  to $1,195,362 as compared to $809,191 for the same period
in 2001.  Interest  income from loans,  including  fees,  increased  $400,700 or
30.57%,  from the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to the comparable  period
in 2002, as we continued to experience  growth in our loan  portfolio.  Interest
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $590,237 as compared to
$643,824 for the same period in 2001. Although interest bearing accounts such as
savings  accounts and  certificates of deposit  increased during the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, rates being paid on these accounts were lower due to a
declining  interest rate  environment  when compared to the same period in 2001,
resulting in a decrease in interest expense. The net interest margin realized on
earning assets decreased from 4.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
to 4.20% for the same period in 2002.  The interest  rate spread  decreased by 3
basis points from 3.91% at September 30, 2001 to 3.88% at September 30, 2002.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, net interest income totaled  $466,052,
an increase of $175,648,  or 60.48%,  when  compared to the same  quarter  ended
September 30, 2001.  Interest income totaling $637,473 was generated from loans,
including  fees,  during the quarter  ended  September  30, 2002, as compared to
$488,768  during  the  comparable  period in 2001.  Interest  expense on deposit
accounts was $199,596 for the quarter  ended  September 30, 2002, as compared to
$216,871  for the same  period in 2001.  The net  interest  margin  realized  on
earning  assets was 4.90% for the quarter ended  September 30, 2002, as compared
to 4.70% during the same period in 2001.  The interest rate spread was 4.58% for
the quarter ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 4.07% for the quarter ended
September 30, 2001.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The  provision  for  loan  losses  is the  charge  to  operating  earnings  that
management  believes is necessary to maintain the  allowance  for possible  loan
losses at an adequate  level.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the
provision  charged to expense was  $100,000 as compared to $104,841 for the nine
months ended  September 30, 2001. For the quarter ended  September 30, 2002, the
provision  charged to expense  was  $40,000 as  compared to $57,072 for the same
period in 2001.  There are risks inherent in making all loans,  including  risks
with  respect  to the  period of time over  which  loans  may be  repaid,  risks
resulting  from changes in economic and industry  conditions,  risks inherent in
dealing with individual  borrowers,  and, in the case of a collateralized  loan,
risks resulting from uncertainties about the future value of the collateral. The
Bank  maintains  an  allowance  for loan losses  based on,  among other  things,
historical experience, an evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews
of delinquencies  and loan portfolio  quality.  Management's  judgment about the
adequacy of the  allowance  is based upon a number of  assumptions  about future
events,  which it  believes  to be  reasonable,  but  which  may not prove to be
accurate.  Thus, there is a risk that charge-offs in future periods could exceed
the allowance for loan losses or that  substantial  additional  increases in the
allowance for loan losses could be required. Additions to the allowance for loan
losses  would result in a decrease of the Bank's net income and,  possibly,  its
capital.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation -- continued

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $85,470,  or 51.23% to $252,293 for the nine months
ended  September  30, 2002 as compared to the same period  ended  September  30,
2001. The primary  source of this income was the increase in service  charges on
deposit  accounts of $34,962,  or 39.97%,  to $122,425 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002,  when compared to the same period in 2001.  This increase is
attributable  to an  increase  in  deposit  accounts  over the two  periods.  In
addition,  commissions  generated through our brokerage services totaled $49,152
for the nine months  ended  September  30,  2002.  We began the  investment  and
brokerage  services  department  in the  fourth  quarter  of 2001.  Income  from
residential  mortgage  origination fees decreased $9,353 to $39,772 for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001 as the
number of home refinancings decreased.

For the quarter ended  September 30, 2002,  noninterest  income was $69,560,  an
increase of $1,625,  or 2.39% over the quarter  ended  September  30, 2001.  The
largest component of noninterest income was service charges on deposit accounts,
which totaled  $46,151 for the quarter ended  September 30, 2002, as compared to
$34,898 for the quarter ended  September  30, 2001.  This increase was due to an
overall  increase in deposit  accounts over the two periods.  No net commissions
were  received  in the  third  quarter  for  brokerage  services  because  of an
unresolved  dispute with the service provider.  Such commissions are expected to
resume  at  sometime  in the  future  although  the time and  amount of any such
commissions is uncertain.  Other charges,  commissions and fees increased $6,031
or 74.21% to $14,158 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the
same period in 2001.

Noninterest Expense

For  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2002,   noninterest  expense  was
$1,235,746,  an increase of $123,439, or 11.10% when compared to the same period
in 2001.  The largest  increase  was in salaries and  employee  benefits,  which
increased from $550,080 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $644,539
for the nine months ended  September 30, 2002. The increase is  attributable  to
annual  pay  raises  and the  addition  of new  employees,  including  brokerage
services  personnel.  Occupancy expense also increased from $52,939 for the nine
months ended  September 30, 2001 to $82,148 for the nine months ended  September
30, 2002.  This  increase is primarily due to expenses  associated  with our new
building that we moved into May 2001.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, noninterest expense increased $42,131,
or 11.36% as compared to the  quarter  ended  September  30,  2001.  The largest
category of  noninterest  expense,  salaries  and employee  benefits,  increased
$22,359 from the quarter  ended  September  30, 2001 to $211,709 for the quarter
ended  September  30, 2002.  As discussed  earlier,  this  increase is primarily
attributable to annual pay raises and new employees.

Income Taxes

The income tax expense for the nine months ended  September 30, 2002 was $41,428
as compared to a benefit of $88,095 for the same period in 2001.  The  effective
tax rate was 37.02% and 36.53% for the nine months ended  September 30, 2002 and
2001,  respectively.  Income tax  expense  was  $30,619  for the  quarter  ended
September  30, 2002 as compared to a benefit of $25,701 for the same  quarter in
2001. The effective tax rate was 37% for the quarters  ended  September 30, 2002
and 2001.

Net Income (Loss)

The  combination  of the above  factors  resulted  in a net  income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 of $70,481 as compared to a net loss of $153,039
for the same period in 2001.  The net income before taxes of $111,909 was before
income tax expense of $41,428  during the nine months ended  September 30, 2002.
The net loss before  taxes for the same period in 2001 was  $241,134,  which was
partially  offset by the income tax  benefit of $88,095.  For the quarter  ended
September 30, 2002, net income was $52,136, as compared to a net loss of $43,759
for the same period in 2001.

During the first nine months of 2002,  total  assets  increased  $7,662,581,  or
22.39%,  when  compared to December  31, 2001.  The primary  source of growth in
assets was in loans,  which increased  $6,358,617,  or 23.66%,  during the first
nine months of 2002.  Investment  securities  increased $1,663,203 or 338.58% to

2002.  Within the deposit  area,  other time  deposits  increased  $5,899,977 or
68.94% to $14,457,563 at September 30, 2002. Also,  savings  accounts  increased
$2,714,350,  or 51.70% from  December 31, 2001 to  $7,964,618  at September  30,
2002.

Investment securities increased from $491,225 at December 31, 2001 to $2,154,428
at September  30,  2002.  The  increase in  securities  was part of an effort to
improve our asset-liability  position.  All of the Bank's marketable  investment
securities were designated as available-for-sale at September 30, 2002.

Loans

We  continued  our  trend of  growth  during  the  first  nine  months  of 2002,
especially in the loan area. Net loans increased  $6,280,334,  or 23.61%, during
the period.  As shown below,  the main component of growth in the loan portfolio
was real estate-construction loans which increased 176.73%, or $3,942,488,  from
December  31,  2001 to  September  30,  2002.  Balances  within the major  loans

Risk Elements in the Loan Portfolio

The following is a summary of risk elements in the loan portfolio:



                                                                                               September 30,            December 31,
                                                                                                   2002                     2001
                                                                                                   ----                     ----
                                                                                                                   
Loans: Nonaccrual loans ..............................................................            $17,717                $ 9,314

Accruing loans more than 90 days past due ............................................            $     -                 $    -

Loans identified by the internal review mechanism:

   Criticized ........................................................................            $   697                $13,817
   Classified ........................................................................            $19,219                $ 8,695


Criticized  loans have  potential  weaknesses  that deserve close  attention and
could, if uncorrected, result in deterioration of the prospects for repayment or
the Bank's credit position at a future date.  Classified  loans are inadequately
protected  by the  sound  worth  and  paying  capacity  of the  borrower  or any
collateral and there is a distinct possibility or probability that the Bank will
sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses is as follows:

Deposits

Total  deposits  increased  $9,344,648,  or 33.68%,  from  December  31, 2001 to
$37,086,785  at September 30, 2002.  The largest change was an increase in other
time deposits,  which increased $5,899,977 to $14,457,563 at September 30, 2002.
Expressed  in  percentages,   interest-bearing  deposits  increased  35.38%  and
noninterest bearing deposits increased 21.83%. The increases are attributable to
the normal growth of the Bank and market rates were paid on these deposits.

Balances  within the major  deposit  categories  as of  September  30,  2002 and
December 31, 2001 are as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies

We have adopted  various  accounting  policies  which govern the  application of
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation
of our financial statements.  Our significant  accounting policies are described
in the notes to the  consolidated  financial  statements at December 31, 2001 as
filed in our annual report on Form 10-KSB.  Certain accounting  policies involve
significant  judgments and assumptions by us which have a material impact on the
carrying value of certain assets and  liabilities.  We consider these accounting
policies to be critical  accounting  policies.  The judgments and assumptions we
use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be
reasonable under the  circumstances.  Because of the nature of the judgments and
assumptions  we make,  actual  results  could  differ from these  judgments  and
estimates  which could have a material  impact on our carrying  values of assets
and liabilities and our results of operations.

We believe the  allowance for loan losses is a critical  accounting  policy that
requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our
consolidated financial statements.  Refer to the portion of this discussion that
addresses our  allowance for loan losses for a description  of our processes and
methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses.

Liquidity

Liquidity  needs are met by the Bank through  scheduled  maturities of loans and
investments on the asset side and through pricing policies on the liability side
for interest-bearing deposit accounts. The level of liquidity is measured by the
loan-to-total  borrowed  funds ratio,  which was at 89.61% at September 30, 2002
and 91.12% at December 31, 2001.

Securities  available-for-sale,  which totaled $2,016,875 at September 30, 2002,
serve as a ready  source  of  liquidity.  The  Bank  also  has  lines of  credit
available with  correspondent  banks to purchase  federal funds for periods from
one to seven  days.  At  September  30,  2002,  unused  lines of credit  totaled
$2,650,000.  We also have a line of credit to borrow funds from the Federal Home
Loan Bank up to 10% of the Bank's  total  assets,  which gave us the  ability to
borrow up to  $4,188,077 at September 30, 2002. As of September 30, 2002, we had
no borrowings on this line.

Capital Resources

Total  shareholders'  equity  increased from  $4,452,239 at December 31, 2001 to
$4,530,611  at  September  30, 2002.  The  increase is due  primarily to the net
income for the period of $70,481. There was also a positive change in fair value
of securities which totaled $7,891.

The Federal  Reserve  Board and bank  regulatory  agencies  require bank holding
companies  and financial  institutions  to maintain  capital at adequate  levels
based on a percentage of assets and off-balance  sheet  exposures,  adjusted for
risk-weights ranging from 0% to 100%. Under the risk-based standard,  capital is
classified  into two  tiers.  Tier 1 capital  consists  of common  shareholders'
equity,  excluding the unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale  securities,
minus certain intangible assets.  Tier 2 capital consists of the general reserve
for loan losses  subject to certain  limitations.  An  institution's  qualifying
capital base for purposes of its risk-based capital ratio consists of the sum of
its Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.  The regulatory  minimum  requirements are 4% for
Tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital.

Banks and bank  holding  companies  are also  required to maintain  capital at a
minimum level based on total assets,  which is known as the leverage ratio.  The
minimum  requirement  for the leverage  ratio is 3%; however all but the highest
rated  institutions are required to maintain ratios 100 to 200 basis point above
the minimum.  Both the Company and the Bank exceeded  their  minimum  regulatory
capital  ratios as of September  30, 2002 as well as the ratios to be considered
"well capitalized."

The following table summarizes the Company's risk-based capital at September 30,
2002:

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Through the  operations of our Bank,  we have made  contractual  commitments  to
extend  credit  in  the  ordinary  course  of  our  business  activities.  These
commitments  are legally  binding  agreements  to lend money to our customers at
predetermined  interest  rates for a specified  period of time. At September 30,
2002,  we had issued  commitments  to extend  credit of  $3,575,552  and standby
letters  of credit of  $100,000  through  various  types of  commercial  lending
arrangements.  We evaluate each customer's  credit  worthiness on a case-by-case
basis.  The  amount  of  collateral  obtained,  if deemed  necessary  by us upon
extension  of  credit,  is  based  on our  credit  evaluation  of the  borrower.
Collateral  varies but may include  accounts  receivable,  inventory,  property,
plant and equipment, commercial and residential real estate.
