NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of First Citizens Bancorporation of South Carolina, Inc.
("Bancorporation"), significant accounting policies is set forth in Note 1 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements in Bancorporation's Annual Report on Form
10-K for 1997. The significant accounting policies used during the current
quarter are unchanged from those disclosed in the 1997 Annual Report, except for
the following:
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information", which establishes new standards for
business segment reporting. Requirements of SFAS No. 131 include reporting of
(a) financial and descriptive information about reportable operating segments,
(b) a measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense
items and segment assets with reconciliations of such amounts to
Bancorporation's financial statements, and (c) information regarding revenues
derived from Bancorporation's products and services, information about major
customers and information related to geographic areas Bancorporation has adopted
SFAS No. 131 effective January 1, 1998. Provisions of this statement dictate
that segmented information need not be applied to the interim financial
statements in the initial year of application; therefore, Bancorporation's
statements do not reflected segmented reporting.
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits", an amendment of SFAS Nos. 87, 88
and 106. SFAS No. 132 revises employers' disclosures about pensions and other
postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition
of those plans. Bancorporation has adopted SFAS No. 132 effective January 1,
1998.
On June 15, 1998, FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative
instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the
fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other
comprehensive income depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of
a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Bancorporation
anticipates due to non-use of derivative instruments, the adoption of SFAS No.
133 will not have any significant effect on the results of operations.
YEAR 2000 (Dollars in thousands)
Bancorporation has recognized the challenges posed by the Year 2000 issues and
has completed preliminary work to inventory computer systems, software and
equipment containing embedded microchips, and has performed a risk assessment.
Bancorporation has hired an outside consultant to further identify, test and
evaluate all systems, service providers and vendors to assure Year 2000
compliance. Bancorporation has established a task force to work with the
consultant in reviewing non-mainframe systems and equipment, project planning,
risk management and contingency planning. The Year 2000 budget for 1998 is $535.
Actual expense for the first six months of 1998 is $122.

MANAGEMENT'S OPINION
The preceding financial statements and the notes thereto are unaudited; however,
in the opinion of management, all adjustments comprising all normal recurring
accruals necessary for a fair presentation of financial statements have been
included. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to
the 1998 presentation.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES (dollars in thousands)
As of June 30, 1998, the investment portfolio was $622,673 compared to $525,601
for the same period in 1997. Bancorporation continues to invest primarily in
short-term U.S. Government obligations thereby minimizing credit, interest rate
and liquidity risk. The portfolio was comprised of 89.55% U.S. Government
obligations as of June 30, 1998 as compared to 89.34% for the same period in
1997. The remainder of the investment portfolio primarily consists of municipal
bonds owned by First-Citizens Bank and Trust Company of South Carolina ("Bank")
and equity securities owned by Bancorporation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOANS
Growth in loans was attributed primarily to strong loan demand due to favorable
interest rates. The loan portfolio mix did not change significantly and no major
change is expected in 1998. The growth was funded by an increase in core
deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term borrowing.
CAPITAL RATIOS
June 30,
------------------------
1998 1997
---- ----
Tier I leverage ratio 8.21% 5.76%
Risk based capital ratio total 14.39% 10.38%
Tier I 12.98% 8.95%
Tier II 1.41% 1.43%
Regulatory agencies divide capital into Tier I, consisting of stockholders'
equity less ineligible intangible assets, and Tier II, consisting of the
allowable portion of the reserve for loan losses and certain long-term debt.
Capital adequacy is measured by applying both capital levels to the Bank's
risk-adjusted assets and off-balance sheet items. Regulatory requirements
presently specify that Tier I capital should exclude the market appreciation or
depreciation of securities available-for-sale arising from valuation adjustments
under SFAS No. 115. In addition to these capital ratios, regulatory agencies
have established a Tier I leverage ratio which measures Tier I capital to
average assets less ineligible intangible assets.
Regulatory guidelines require a minimum total capital to risk-adjusted assets
ratio of 8 percent (with 50 percent consisting of tangible common stockholders'
equity) and a minimum Tier I leverage ratio of 3 percent. Banks which meet or
exceed a Tier I ratio of 6 percent, a total risk based capital ratio of 10
percent and a Tier I leverage ratio of 5 percent are considered well-capitalized
by regulatory standards.
Included in the Tier I calculation are Trust Preferred Securities issued by a
new subsidiary, FCB/SC Capital Trust I. The new subsidiary was formed on March
12, 1998 as a statutory business trust and has issued and sold $50 million in
Trust Preferred securities, the proceeds of which were used to purchased a like
amount of 8.25% junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures from
Registrant. These securities have a 30-year maturity, with distribution thereon
payable semi-annually at an annual rate of 8.25%.
NET INTEREST INCOME (dollars in thousands)
The increase in net interest income in the second quarter was due to growth in
interest-earning assets, primarily commercial and residential mortgage loans.

PROVISION AND RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES (dollars in thousands)
The provision for loan losses reflects management's assessment of the adequacy
of the reserve for loan losses to absorb potential losses inherent in the loan
portfolio due to a decline in credit conditions or change in risk profile.
Factors considered in this assessment include growth and mix of the loan
portfolio, current and anticipated economic conditions and historical credit
loss experience.

NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE (dollars in thousands)
Total noninterest income increased $1,213 or 20.10% and $2,175 or 18.57%,
respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998. Most of the
increase was due to an increase in service charges on deposit accounts.
Total noninterest expense was up $1,543 or 8.56% and $3,536 or 10.07%,
respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998. Most of the
increase was due to the growth in the number of branches and related increases
in salaries, employee benefits and other operating expenses.
