NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION --------------------- The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and item 310(b) of Regulation S-B of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER SHARE -------------------- Net income per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share". The Bank does not have any instruments which are dilutive; therefore, only basic net income per share of common stock is presented. ITEM 2. - ------- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS From time to time, Darlington County Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") may publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performances, development and results of the Company's business include, but are not limited to, the following: risks from changes in economic and industry conditions; changes in interest rates; risks inherent in making loans including repayment risks and value of collateral; dependence on senior management; and recently-enacted or proposed legislation. Statements contained in this filing regarding the demand for the Company's products and services, changing economic conditions, interest rates, consumer spending and numerous other factors may be forward-looking statements and are subject to uncertainties and risks. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to the Company, investors and other are cautioned to consider these and other risks and uncertainties. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's net income for the first quarter of 2002 and 2001 was $62,000 or $.39 per share. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the difference between the interest earned on earning assets and the interest paid for funds acquired to support those assets. Net interest income, the principal source of the Bank's earnings, was $324,000 and $290,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Changes that affect net interest income are changes in the average rate earned on interest-earning assets, changes in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. (Continued) -6- ITEM 2: (CONTINUED) Interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2002 increased by $1,972,000 or 7.3% over the same period in 2001, while interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2002 increased by $1,920,000 or 7.5% over the same period in 2001. AVERAGE BALANCES, INCOME AND EXPENSES, AND RATES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- AVERAGE INCOME/ ANNUALIZED AVERAGE INCOME/ ANNUALIZED BALANCE EXPENSE YIELD/RATE BALANCE EXPENSE YIELD/RATE -------------- ------------- ------------- -------------- ----------- ------------- Federal funds sold $ 2,374,667 $ 10,000 1.68% $ 4,298,911 $ 61,000 5.68% Investment securities 9,187,311 110,000 4.79% 5,431,275 81,000 5.97% Loans 17,498,913 338,000 7.73% 16,601,175 363,000 8.75% ------------- ----------- -------------- ---------- Total earning assets $ 29,060,891 458,000 6.30% $ 26,331,361 505,000 7.67% ============ ============ Total interest bearing liabilities $ 27,860,509 135,000 1.94% $ 24,962,517 215,000 3.45% ============ ----------- ---------- ============ ------- ------ Net interest spread 4.36% 4.22% Net interest income/margin $ 323,000 4.45% $290,000 4.41% =========== =========== =========== ====== As reflected above, for the first three months of 2002 the average yield on earning assets amounts amounted to 6.30%, while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.94%. For the same period of 2001, the average yield on earning assets was 7.67% and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.45%. The decrease in the yield on earning assets is attributable to a decrease in the yield on Federal Funds sold, and a decrease in overall interest rates on investments and loans. The net interest margin is computed by subtracting interest expense from interest income and dividing the resulting figure by average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin for the period ended March 31, 2002 was 4.45% and for 2001 was 4.41%. This slight increase was the result of a greater decrease in the rate on interest-bearing deposits than the interest rates on earning assets. The following table represents changes in the Company's net interest income, which are primarily a result of changes in volume and rates of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in net interest income is due to increased volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in rates on earning assets with a slightly larger decrease in rates on interest bearing liabilities. ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN NET INTEREST INCOME FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 VERSUS 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------- VOLUME RATE NET CHANGE ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- Federal fund sold $ (27,304) $ (23,696) $ (51,000) Investment securities 56,016 (27,016) 29,000 Loans 15,806 (40,806) (25,000) ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- Total earning assets 44,518 (91,518) (47,000) Total interest on interest-bearing liabilities 24,960 (104,960) (80,000) ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- Net interest income $ 19,558 $ 13,442 $ 33,000 =================== =================== =================== (Continued) -7- ITEM 2: (CONTINUED) NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income was $85,000 and $74,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Noninterest income increased due to fees charged on an increased number of deposits. NONINTEREST EXPENSES Noninterest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 were $301,000 and $268,000, respectively. Noninterest expenses increased due to cost of living pay increases to employees and an increase in health insurance. The allowance for loan losses was .97% of loans, net of unearned income, as of March 31, 2002 compared to 1.07% as of December 31, 2001. The provision for loan losses was $16,000 and $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance on an ongoing basis and believes it is adequate. LIQUIDITY Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future obligations through liquidation or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of liabilities. The Company manages both assets and liabilities to achieve appropriate levels of liquidity. Cash and short-term investments are the Company's primary sources of asset liquidity. These funds provide a cushion against short-term fluctuations in cash flow from both deposits and loans. The investment portfolio is the Bank's principal source of secondary asset liquidity. However, the availability of this source of funds is influenced by market conditions. Individual and commercial deposits are the Bank's primary source of funds for credit activities. Management believes that the Company's liquidity sources are adequate to meet its operating needs. LOANS Commercial, financial and agricultural loans made up 25.1% of the total loan portfolio as of March 31, 2002, totaling $4,479,000. Loans secured by real estate for construction and land development totaled $454,000 or 2.5% of the total loan portfolio while all other loans secured by real estate totaled $8,204,000 or 45.9% of the total loan portfolio as of March 31, 2002. Installment loans and other consumer loans to individuals comprised 26.5% of the total loan portfolio totaling $4,731,000. CAPITAL RESOURCES The capital base for the Company decreased by $111,000 for the first three months of 2002. This net change includes an increase to equity for net income of $62,000 offset by unrealized losses on investment securities of $15,000 and cash dividends of $158,000. The Company's equity to asset ratio was 11.4% on March 31, 2002, as compared to 11.8% on December 31, 2001. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has issued guidelines for risk-based capital requirements. As of March 31, 2002, the Bank exceeds the capital requirement levels that are to be maintained.

Nonperforming assets were $4,000 as of March 31, 2002 and $15,900 at December 31, 2001. EFFECTS OF REGULATORY ACTION The management of the Company is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities, which if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on liquidity, capital resources, or operations. IMPACT OF INFLATION Unlike most industrial companies, the assets and liabilities of financial institutions such as the Bank are primarily monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Bank's performance than do the effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and changes in prices. In addition, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. As discussed previously, management seeks to manage the relationships between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Accounting pronouncements recently issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board are not expected to have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.
