A shareholder may use this proxy if he/she is unable to attend the meeting in person or if he/she wishes to have his/her shares voted by proxy even if he/she attends the Annual Meeting. The proxy may be revoked in writing by the person giving it any time before the proxy is exercised by giving notice to the Company's secretary, or by submitting a proxy having a later date, or by such person appearing at the Annual Meeting and voting in person. All shares represented by valid proxies received pursuant to this solicitation, and not revoked prior to their exercise, will be voted in the manner specified therein. If no specification is made in the proxy, the proxy will be voted "FOR" the election of the nominees for directors listed herein. The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matter which may be presented for action at the Annual Meeting, but if other matters do come properly before the Annual Meeting it is intended that shares represented by proxies in the accompanying form will be voted by the person named in the proxy in accordance with the recommendation of management. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 12, 2001 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, there were a total of 300,000 shares of Company Common Stock outstanding. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote on each matter to come before the Annual Meeting for each share of Company Common Stock held of record by such shareholder. The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of shareholders, holding in the aggregate a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Article Eight of the Articles of Incorporation of the Company provide that in the election of directors each shareholder entitled to vote shall be entitled to cast as many votes for each director as shall equal the number of shares held by him/her, but shall not be entitled to accumulate his/her votes to cast more votes for any one director than the number of shares held by him/her. Those nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast at the meeting will be elected directors. 1 PROPOSAL I - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The business and affairs of the Company are managed by its Board of Directors. Except as expressly limited by law, all corporate powers of the Company are vested in and may be exercised by the Board of Directors. The Company's Bylaws provide for a Board of Directors consisting of not less than five and not more than 15 directors as determined from time to time by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board. The Board of Directors has set the number of Directors for 2001 at nine. The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Directors shall be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II, and Class III, which shall be as nearly equal in number as possible. At the Annual Meeting, three Class I directors will be elected for three year terms expiring at the 2004 Annual Meeting. All of the nominees are currently serving as directors of the Company. Should any nominee for the office of director become unable to serve, which is not anticipated, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy, unless otherwise instructed therein, to vote for the election in his stead of such other person as the Board of Directors may recommend. If any vacancies occur on the Board of Directors after the Annual Meeting has taken place, such vacancies may be filled by the remaining directors at any regular or special meeting thereof. Individuals selected to fill such vacancies shall serve until the next annual meeting. The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the nominees named below for directors of the Company.

Roger Crook 2000 $ 110,000 $ 21,000 --- $ 39,170 President and Chief 1999 104,000 21,000 --- 22,962 Executive Officer 1998 100,000 15,000 --- 21,315 ---------------------------- --------- --------------- ------------ ------------------ ----------------- (1) Included deferred compensation of $30,000, $14,212, and $13,265 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively, and profit sharing contribution of $9,170, $8,750, and $8,050 in 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively. RETIREMENT PLANS Profit Sharing Plan. The Company has a qualified Profit Sharing Plan with 401(K) features. The plan is intended to meet the qualification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and serve as a reward to employees for productivity and profitability. All full-time employees who have attained age 21 and have one year of service are eligible to participate in the plan. Contributions to the plan are computed each year on a discretionary basis by the Board of Directors with consideration for annual profits, retained earnings and reserve requirements. The profit sharing plan is administered by Profit Concepts, Inc., an independent third party administrator in Columbia, South Carolina. The Trustees of the plan are members of the Board of Directors and are as follows: J. Barnwell Fishburne, Calvert Huffines and George Cone. The Board of Directors has the authority to add, delete, or replace Trustees as deemed necessary to ensure adequate oversight and direction of the plan operations. The profit sharing plan is designed to provide a source of additional retirement income that will supplement Social Security benefits at age 65 for each eligible career employee. Employees or their beneficiaries have the right to withdraw their funds in the plan upon early separation of service, death, disability, normal retirement (age 65), early retirement (age 59 1/2) or late retirement (age 70). Distributions from the plan will be made in either monthly installments or as a lump sum payment. The profit sharing plan includes special provisions as outlined in the Internal Revenue Code, Section 401(K), which permits employees to make voluntary pre-tax contributions to the retirement plan trust. Employees meeting the eligibility requirements of the profit sharing plan described above may also make voluntary contributions under 401(K) plan provisions up to 10% of annual salary. The employer has decided to waive its option of matching employee contributions since the profit sharing plan will potentially provide eligible employees with a retirement benefit. All employee voluntary contributions are 100% vested. Withdrawal features in the 401(K) plan are the same as the profit sharing plan. Expenses for this plan were $47,218 for the year ending December 31, 2000. 7 Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company has a Deferred Compensation Plan which covers the Chief Executive Officer. This plan is a non-qualified voluntary deferral salary program with participation limited to the Bank's senior management group of vice president and above. Contributions to the plan are voluntary and may be changed from year to year based upon the income needs of eligible participants. Amounts deferred are assets of the Bank and income derived from the investment of these assets are also reflected as assets of the Bank. These assets are subject to the claims of creditors of the corporation. Deferred funds will be invested and reinvested by the corporation until such time the employee separates from service and elects to receive the deferral amounts plus accumulated earnings. The corporation has the right to invest bank assets in cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, common stock, life insurance, annuities or savings instruments as deemed appropriate by the Trustees and Board of Directors. Expenses for this plan were $30,000 for the year ending December 31, 2000. COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires certain officers of the Company and its directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of any registered class of the Company's common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on a review of the reports and written representations provided to the Company by the above referenced persons, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 all filing requirements applicable to its reporting officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were properly and timely complied with. INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS During the 2000 fiscal year, Tourville, Simpson & Caskey, L.L.P. of Columbia, South Carolina, served as independent accountants to the Company. They have been appointed as the Company's independent accountants for the 2001 fiscal year by the Board of Directors. Representative of Tourville, Simpson & Caskey, L.L.P. are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so. They will be available to respond to proper questions regarding the independent accountants' responsibilities.
