Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note 1 - Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and, accordingly, they are consolidated and omit disclosures, which would substantially duplicate those contained in our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The financial statements as of March 31, 2004 are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation. The financial information as of December 31, 2003 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 the DeKalb Bankshares, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements No recent authoritative pronouncements that affect accounting, reporting, and disclosure of financial information by us have occurred during the quarter ending March 31, 2004. Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation The following is a discussion of our financial condition as of March 31, 2004 compared to December 31, 2003, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes appearing in this report and in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and disclosures in our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 our beliefs, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. The words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," and "believe," as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and the our operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results of Operations Net Interest Income For the three months ended March 31, 2004, net interest income, the major component of our net income, was $311,993, as compared to $249,024 for the same period in 2003, an increase of $62,969. The improvements in the 2004 period were primarily attributable to increased volume as we continued to build our loan portfolio. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 2.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to 1.64% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, while the average rate realized on interest-earning assets decreased from 6.20% to 5.17%, for the same period. The net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.53% and 3.38%, respectively, for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, compared to 3.86% and 4.31% for the three month period ended March 31, 2003. Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that in management's judgment is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level. For the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the same period in 2003, the provision was $17,500 and $27,500, respectively. There were $251,089 in nonperforming loans at March 31, 2004 and no nonperforming loans at March 31, 2003. $251,089 in loans have been criticized or classified as of March 31, 2004. Based on present information, we believe the allowance for loan losses is adequate at March 31, 2004 to meet presently known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses was 1.37% of total loans at March 31, 2004. 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. We maintain an allowance for loan losses based on, among other things, historical experience, including management's experience at other institutions, an evaluation of economic conditions, and regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. Our judgment about the adequacy of the allowance is based upon a number of assumptions about future events, which we believe 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 our net income and, possibly, our capital. 9 DEKALB BANKSHARES, INC. Item 2 - Management's Discussion And Analysis or Plan of Operation - continued Noninterest Income Total noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was $57,306, a decrease of $22,640, compared to $79,946 for the same period in 2003. This decrease is primarily the result of there being no gain on sale of investment securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to a $24,019 gain on sale of investment securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $5,840 from $26,075 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $31,915 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This increase is the result of an increase in the number of deposit accounts during the period. Noninterest Expense Total noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $322,031, an increase of $7,616, when compared to the same period in 2003. The primary component of noninterest expense is salaries and benefits, which were $161,830 and $170,091 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Other operating expenses increased from $113,299 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $127,961 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, due to an increase in other expenses necessary to support the overall growth of the Company. Net Income The Company's net income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $18,507 after the recognition of an income tax expense of $11,261 for the period. The net loss for the same period in 2003 was $8,200 after the recognition of an income tax benefit of $4,745. Assets and Liabilities During the first three months of 2004, total assets increased $3,617,383, or 10.95%, when compared to December 31, 2003. The primary growth in assets was composed of an increase in securities available for sale of $2,316,848, or 33.39%. Loans receivable increased by $484,050 when compared to December 31, 2003. Deposits increased $520,524 during the first three months of 2004. We also entered into a leveraged transaction with The Bankers Bank to borrow funds through securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaling $3,000,000. We then invested these funds in a mortgage-backed security. Investment Securities Investment securities totaled $9,598,693 at March 31, 2004, compared to $7,158,632 at December 31, 2003. All investments in the portfolio were designated as available-for-sale except for nonmarketable equity securities, consisting of stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which totaled $200,000 of March 31, 2004, and stock in The Bankers Bank, which totaled $143,213 as of March 31, 2004. As discussed earlier, we purchased a $3,000,000 security as part of a leveraged transaction. 10 DEKALB BANKSHARES, INC. Item 2 - Management's Discussion And Analysis or Plan of Operation - continued Loans Gross loans increased $484,050 during the three months ended March 31, 2004. The largest increase in loans was in residential 1-4 family loans secured by a real estate mortgage, which increased $406,477 to $9,256,284 as of March 31, 2004. Balances within the major loans receivable categories as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 were as follows: March 31, December 31, 2004 2003 ---- ---- Mortgage loans on real estate Residential 1-4 family ............................................... $ 9,256,284 $ 8,849,807 Commercial ........................................................... 7,119,895 7,038,179 Construction ......................................................... 1,346,607 1,162,574 Second mortgages ..................................................... 104,238 105,743 Equity lines of credit ............................................... 1,491,854 1,359,870 ----------- ----------- Total mortgage loans ............................................... 19,318,878 18,516,173 Commercial and industrial .............................................. 1,758,286 1,831,844 Consumer and other ..................................................... 1,031,035 1,276,132 ----------- ----------- Total gross loans .................................................. $22,108,199 $21,624,149 =========== =========== Risk Elements in the Loan Portfolio Transactions in the allowance for loan losses for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 are summarized below: March 31, March 31, 2004 2003 ---- ---- Balance, January 1 .......................................................... $ 305,000 $ 245,000 Provision for loan losses for the period .................................... 17,500 27,500 Net loans (charged-off) recovered for the period ............................

There were no loans past due ninety days or more and still accruing interest and no restructured loans at March 31, 2004. There were no nonaccrual loans, no loans past due ninety days or more and still accruing interest, or restructured loans at March 31, 2003. 11 DEKALB BANKSHARES, INC. Item 2 - Management's Discussion And Analysis or Plan of Operation - continued Deposits Total deposits increased $520,524 or 2.18% from December 31, 2003 to $24,367,066 at March 31, 2004. The largest increase was in time deposits $100,000 and over, which increased $242,011, or 2.4%, to $10,327,492 at March 31, 2004. These deposits are generally more sensitive to changes in interest rates and are, therefore, considered less stable than core deposits. Expressed in percentages, noninterest-bearing deposits decreased 5.95% and all other interest-bearing deposits increased 1.75%. Balances within the major deposit categories as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 are as follows: March 31, December 31, 2004 2003 ------------- ------------- Noninterest-bearing transaction accounts ..................................... $ 2,176,673 $ 2,314,452 Interest-bearing transaction accounts ........................................ 3,133,228 2,901,206 Savings ...................................................................... 3,796,010 3,702,360 Time deposits $100,000 and over .............................................. 10,327,492 10,085,481 Other time deposits .......................................................... 4,933,663 4,843,043 ------------- ------------- Total deposits ........................................................... $ 24,367,066 $ 23,846,542 ============= ============= Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaled $4,000,000 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. One of the advances totaling $500,000 is a ten year convertible advance with a one year call. It currently has a fixed interest rate of 3.23% and matures on September 6, 2011. A second advance of $1,000,000 was entered into on July 23, 2002 with a rate of interest of 3.87% and a maturity date of July 23, 2012.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion And Analysis or Plan of Operation - continued 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, 2003 as filed in our 2003 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 the historical experience of our management in the banking industry 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 portions of the discussion in this report on Form 10-QSB and in our 2003Annual Report on Form 10-KSB that address our allowance for loan losses for a description of our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses. Capital Resources Total shareholders' equity increased $69,955 to $5,181,801 at March 31, 2004. This is the result of net income for the period of $18,507 and a positive adjustment of $28,816 for the unrealized gain on securities available for sale. The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve and the federal banking agencies. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance-sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 100%. Tier 1 capital consists of common stockholders' equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities available-for-sale, minus certain intangible assets. Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan losses subject to certain limitations. Total capital for purposes of computing the capital ratios consists of the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The regulatory minimum requirements are 22.64% for Tier 1 and 23.89% for total risk-based capital. We are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on adjusted quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio. The Federal Reserve applies its guidelines on a bank only basis for bank holding companies with less than $150 million in consolidated assets. Only the strongest banks are allowed to maintain capital at the minimum requirement of 3%. All others are subject to maintaining ratios 1% to 2% above the minimum. The following table summarizes The Company's risk-based capital at March 31, 2004: Shareholders' equity .......................................... $ 5,174,844 Less - unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities ...... 28,816 ----------- Tier 1 capital ................................................ 5,146,028 Plus - allowance for loan losses(1) ........................... 284,000 ----------- Total capital ................................................. $ 5,430,028 =========== Risk-weighted assets .......................................... $22,729,000 =========== Risk-based capital ratios Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) .................... 23.89% Total capital (to risk-weighted assets) ..................... 22.64% Tier 1 capital (to total average assets) .................... 14.55% (1) Limited to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets 13 DEKALB BANKSHARES, INC. Item 2 - Management's Discussion And Analysis or Plan of Operation - continued Off-Balance Sheet Risk Through its operations, the Company has made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of its business activities. These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to The Company's customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. At March 31, 2004, the Company had issued commitments to extend credit of $3,743,211 and standby letters of credit of $32,373 through various types of commercial lending arrangements. Approximately $1,827,000 of these commitments to extend credit had variable rates. The following table sets forth the length of time until maturity for unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit at March 31, 2004. After One After Three Within Through Through Within Greater One Three Twelve One Than Month Months Months Year One Year Total ----- ------ ------ ---- -------- ----- (Dollars in thousands) Unused commitments to extend credit .......................... $ 131 $ 343 $ 447 $ 921 $2,822 $3,743 Standby letters of credit ................................. - - - - 32 32 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Totals ............................... $ 131 $ 343 $ 447 $ 921 $2,854 $3,775 ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== Based on historical experience, many of the commitments and letters of credit will expire unfunded. Accordingly, the amounts shown in the table above do not necessarily reflect the Company's need for funds in the periods shown. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on its credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial and residential real estate. Item 3.
