NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Presentation of Consolidated Financial Statements
-------------------------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Provident
Community Bancshares, Inc. (the "Corporation" or "Provident") were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial
condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair
presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements have been
included. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results
of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily
indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire calendar year.
Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified
to conform with current year classifications.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that affect
accounting, reporting, and disclosure of financial information by the
Corporation:
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140." This
Statement amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities," and SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." This Statement resolves
issues addressed in SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, "Application of
Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets." SFAS No.
155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the
beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.
The Corporation does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have a
material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
7
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets--an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140." This Statement amends
FASB No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities," with respect to the accounting for separately
recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156 requires an
entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it
undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a
servicing contract; requires all separately recognized servicing assets and
servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable;
permits an entity to choose its subsequent measurement methods for each class of
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities; at its initial
adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities
to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without
calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under
Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in
some manner as offsetting the entity's exposure to changes in fair value of
servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently
measure at fair value; and requires separate presentation of servicing assets
and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement
of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized
servicing assets and servicing liabilities. An entity should adopt SFAS No. 156
as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September 15,
2006. The Corporation believes the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will not have a
material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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.
2. Income Per Share
----------------
Basic income per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006
and 2005 were computed based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share adjusts for the dilutive
effect of outstanding common stock options during the periods utilizing the
treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents included in the diluted earnings
per share calculation for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were
22,875 and 62,822, respectively.
3. Assets Pledged
--------------
Approximately $68,219,000 and $83,170,000 of debt securities at June 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005, respectively, were pledged by Provident Community Bank,
N.A. (the "Bank") as collateral to secure deposits of the State of South
Carolina, and Union, Laurens and York counties along with additional borrowings
and repurchase agreements. The Bank pledges as collateral for Federal Home Loan
Bank advances the Bank's Federal Home Loan Bank stock and has entered into a
blanket collateral agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank whereby the Bank
maintains, free of other encumbrances, qualifying mortgages (as defined) with
unpaid principal balances equal to, when discounted at 75% of the unpaid
principal balances, 100% of total advances. As part of the total assets pledged,
the Bank will also pledge securities to cover additional advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank that exceed the qualifying mortgages balance along with
security repurchase lines with various brokerage houses.
4. Contingencies and Loan Commitments
----------------------------------
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into financial
instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its
customers. These instruments expose the Bank to credit risk in excess of the
amount recognized on the balance sheet.
8
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is
represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the
same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it
does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Total credit exposure at June 30, 2006
related to these items is summarized below:
Loan Commitments: Contract Amount
---------------- ---------------
Approved loan commitments $ 2,215,000
Unadvanced portions of loans and credit lines 44,891,000
------------
Total loan commitments $ 47,106,000
==========
Loan commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Loan
commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. The Bank evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon
extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter
party. Collateral held is primarily residential and commercial property.
Commitments outstanding at June 30, 2006 consisted of fixed and adjustable rate
loans at rates ranging from 6.5% to 8.5%. Commitments to originate loans
generally expire within 30 to 60 days.
Commitments to fund loans, including credit lines (principally variable rate,
consumer lines secured by real estate and overdraft protection) totaled
approximately $106,085,000 at June 30, 2006. Of these lines, the outstanding
loan balances totaled approximately $61,194,000.

6. Stock-Based Compensation
------------------------
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition
provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R)), Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, to account for compensation costs under its stock option plans.
The Company previously utilized the intrinsic value method under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (as
amended) ("APB 25"). Under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25, no
compensation costs were recognized for the Company's stock options because the
option exercise price in its plans equals the market price on the date of grant.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company only disclosed the pro forma effects on
net income and earnings per share as if the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS 123(R)) had been utilized.
In adopting SFAS No. 123(R)), the Company elected to use the modified
prospective method to account for the transition from the intrinsic value method
to the fair value recognition method. Under the modified prospective method,
compensation cost is recognized from the adoption date forward for all new stock
options granted and for any outstanding unvested awards as if the fair value
method had been applied to those awards as of the date of grant. The following
table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the fair
value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in
each period (in thousands, except per share amounts).

Subsequent Event
- ----------------
On July 21, 2006, the Corporation completed a private placement of $4 million in
trust preferred securities. In connection with the sale of the trust preferred
securities, the Corporation issued $4,124,000 aggregate principal amount of
Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due 2036. The Company
intends to use the proceeds from the issuance of the trust preferred securities
for general corporate purposes and to increase the regulatory capital of the
Bank. The trust preferred securities will bear a rate equal to 7.393% for the
first five years following the offering. After the first five years, the
securities will bear a rate equal to 174 basis points over the three-month
LIBOR. The Subordinated Debt Securities bear an identical interest rate. The
trust preferred securities were issued by a statutory business trust formed by
the Corporation and were sold in a private placement pursuant to an applicable
exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Critical Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------
The Corporation has adopted various accounting policies which govern the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America in the preparation of financial statements.
Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by
management which could have a material impact on the carrying value of certain
assets and liabilities. Management considers such accounting policies to be
critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions used by management
are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and
assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from these judgments
and estimates which could have a material impact on the carrying values of
assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the Corporation.
The Corporation believes the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting
policy that requires significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation
of consolidated financial statements. Management reviews the level of the
allowance on a monthly basis and establishes the provision for loan losses based
on the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality,
delinquency levels, a review of specific problem loans, loss experience,
economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectibility of the loan
portfolio. A portion of the allowance is established by segregating the loans by
residential mortgage, commercial and consumer loans and assigning allocation
percentages based on historical loss experience and delinquency trends. The
applied allocation percentages are reevaluated at least annually to ensure their
relevance in the current economic environment. Accordingly, increases in the
size of the loan portfolio and the increased emphasis on commercial real estate
and commercial business loans, which carry a higher degree of risk of default
and, thus, a higher allocation percentage, increases the allowance.
Additionally, a portion of the allowance is established based on the level of
classified assets.
Although the Corporation believes that it uses the best information available to
establish the allowance for loan losses, future additions to the allowance may
be necessary based on estimates that are susceptible to change as a result of
changes in economic conditions and other factors. In addition, the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process,
will periodically review the Corporation's allowance for loan losses. Such
agency may require the Corporation to recognize adjustments to the allowance
based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its
examination.

Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations and other portions of this Form 10-Q may contain certain
"forward-looking statements" concerning the future operations of the Corporation
and the Bank. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the
use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate,"
"project," or similar expressions. Management intends to take advantage of the
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
and is including this statement for the express purpose of availing the
Corporation of the protections of such safe harbor with respect to all
forward-looking statements contained in this report to describe future plans and
strategies. Management's ability to predict results or the effect of future
plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could effect actual
results include interest rate trends, the general economic climate in the
Corporation's and the Bank's market area and the country as a whole, the ability
of the Corporation and the Bank to control costs and expenses, competitive
products and pricing, loan delinquency rates, the quality and composition of the
loan and investment portfolios, changes in accounting principles and guidelines
and changes in federal and state regulation. These factors should be considered
in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be
placed on such statements.
Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Corporation does not
undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to release publicly the
result of any revisions that may be made to any forward looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances after the date of these statements or to reflect
the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

6.36%, to $254,843,000 at June 30, 2006 from $239,603,000 at December 31, 2005.
The increase was due primarily to growth in lower cost demand accounts partially
offset by a reduction in higher cost certificates of deposit accounts. The
Corporation continues to target lower cost demand deposit accounts through media
advertising.

Total advances $59,400 4.91% $75,715 3.98%

The Bank pledges as collateral for the advances its FHLB stock and investment
securities and has entered into a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLB
whereby the Bank maintains, free of other encumbrances, qualifying loans (as
defined) with unpaid principal balances equal to, when discounted at 50% to 80%
of the unpaid principal balances, 100% of total advances. Borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB") decreased $16,315,000, or 21.55%, to
$59,400,000 at June 30, 2006 from $75,715,000 at December 31, 2005. Securities
sold under agreement to repurchase increased $10,000,000 to $30,000,000 at June
30, 2006 from $20,000,000 at December 31, 2005. During this period, securities
sold under agreement to repurchase provided a lower cost funding alternative to
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Borrowings were reduced with deposit growth and
reductions in investments and mortgage-backed securities. Other liabilities
increased $542,000 to $2,133,000 at June 30, 2006 from $1,591,000 at December
31, 2005, due primarily to an increase in outstanding loan fundings.

Shareholders' Equity
- --------------------
Shareholders' equity decreased $1,156,000, or 4.56%, to $24,177,000 at June 30,
2006 from $25,333,000 at December 31, 2005 due to the repurchase of 44,573
shares at a cost of $792,000, dividend payments of $0.21 per share at a cost of
$399,000 and a $1,386,000 increase in unrealized losses on securities available
for sale, offset by net income of $1,338,000.
Liquidity
- ---------
Liquidity is the ability to meet demand for loan disbursements, deposit
withdrawals, repayment of debt, payment of interest on deposits and other
operating expenses. The primary sources of liquidity are deposits, loan
repayments, borrowings, maturity and sale of securities and interest payments.
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are
predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows and mortgage prepayments are
greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and
competition. The primary investing activities of the Corporation are the
origination of commercial and consumer loans, and the purchase of investment and
mortgage-backed securities. These activities are funded primarily by principal
and interest payments on loans and investment securities, deposit growth,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and the utilization of FHLB
advances.
At June 30, 2006, the Corporation's investment in agency and mortgage-backed
securities totaled $132,194,000, nearly all of which is available for sale.
Approximately $68,219,000 and $83,170,000 of debt securities at June 30, 2006
and December 31, 2005, respectively, were pledged by the Bank as collateral to
secure deposits of the State of South Carolina, and Union, Laurens and York
counties along with additional borrowings and repurchase agreements.
Additionally, outstanding loan commitments (including commitments to fund credit
lines) totaled $106,085,000 at June 30, 2006. Management of the Corporation
anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current
loan commitments.
The Corporation closely monitors its liquidity position on a daily basis.
Certificates of deposit, which are scheduled to mature in one year or less from
June 30, 2006, totaled $103,048,000. The Corporation relies primarily on
competitive rates, customer service, and long-standing relationships with
customers to retain deposits. From time to time, the Corporation will also offer
special products to its customers to increase retention and to attract new
deposits. Based upon the Corporation's experience with deposit retention and
16
current retention strategies, management believes that, although it is not
possible to predict future terms and conditions upon renewal, a significant
portion of such deposits will remain with the Corporation. If the Corporation
requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, additional
sources of funds are available through FHLB advances, securities sold under
agreements to repurchase and lines of credit. At June 30, 2006, the Corporation
had outstanding $59,400,000 of FHLB borrowings and $30,000,000 of securities
sold under agreements to repurchase. At June 30, 2006, the Corporation had
unused short-term lines of credit to purchase federal funds from unrelated banks
totaling $17,000,000 and the ability to borrow an additional $7,500,000 from
FHLB and secured borrowing lines. Lines of credit are available on a one-to-ten
day basis for general purposes of the Corporation. All of the lenders have
reserved the right to withdraw these lines at their option.
Capital Management
- ------------------
The Bank and the Corporation are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional
discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items
as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts
and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weights and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank and the Corporation to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of
total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to
average assets (as defined in the regulations). Management believes, as of June
30, 2006, that the Bank and the Corporation meet the capital adequacy
requirements to which they are subject.
As of June 30, 2006, the Bank was "well capitalized" under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action based on its capital ratio calculations.
In order to be "well capitalized", the Bank must maintain minimum total
risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the
following table.
Under present regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the
Bank must have core capital (leverage requirement) equal to 4.0% of assets, of
which 1.5% must be tangible capital, excluding intangible assets. The Bank must
also maintain risk-based regulatory capital as a percent of risk weighted assets
at least equal to 8.0%. In measuring compliance with capital standards, certain
adjustments must be made to capital and total assets.
17
The following tables present the total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1
leverage requirements for the Corporation and the Bank (dollars in thousands).

During fiscal 2003, the Corporation implemented a share repurchase program under
which the Board of Directors of the Corporation authorized the repurchase of up
to 5% of the outstanding shares or 98,000 shares. The program was expanded by an
additional 5%, or 98,000 shares, in fiscal 2004 and by an additional 5%, or
95,000 shares in fiscal 2005. The shares are to be repurchased either through
open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions and will be made from
time to time depending on market conditions and other factors. Repurchased
shares will be held in treasury and will be available for the Corporation's
benefit plans. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Corporation
repurchased 44,573 shares. As of June 30, 2006, the Corporation had repurchased
a total of 236,126 shares under these authorizations. Of the three
authorizations, 54,874 shares remain to be purchased under the third
authorization.
18
Off-Balance Sheet Risk
- ----------------------
In the normal course of operations, the Corporation engages in a variety of
financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, are not recorded in its financial statements. These transactions
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity
risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customer's requests for
funding and take the form of legally binding agreements to lend money to
customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time.
Outstanding loan commitments (including commitments to fund credit lines)
totaled $106,085,000 at June 30, 2006. Each customer's credit worthiness is
evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed
necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on the credit
evaluation of the borrower. Collateral varies but may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial and residential
real estate. The credit risk on these commitments is managed by subjecting each
customer to normal underwriting and risk management processes.
For the period ended June 30, 2006, the Corporation did not engage in any
off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on
its financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.
Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
General
- -------
Net income increased $90,000, or 16.39%, to $639,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2006 as compared to $549,000 for the same period in 2005 as increases
in net interest income and non-interest income and a reduction in the provision
for loan losses were partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense.
Interest Income
- ---------------
Interest income increased $1,061,000, or 22.54%, to $5,769,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Interest
income on loans increased by 35.77%, or $1,088,000, to $4,130,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 from $3,042,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2005, due primarily to increasing market interest rates along with a higher
average balance of loans with a higher average rate due to our increased
emphasis on commercial and consumer loan originations. Interest on deposits and
federal funds sold, combined with interest and dividends on investment and
mortgage-backed securities decreased $27,000, or 1.62%, for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 to $1,639,000 from $1,666,000 during the same period in 2005
due to lower average balances offset by higher yields from higher market
interest rates.
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense increased $880,000, or 39.86%, to $3,088,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005.
Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $623,000, or 48.60%, to
$1,905,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $1,282,000 during the
same period in 2005 due to higher average balances and cost of deposits as a
19
result of higher market rates. The Corporation continues to target lower cost
demand deposit accounts versus traditional higher cost certificates of deposits
in order to reduce overall funding costs. Interest expense on borrowings
increased $218,000, or 27.74%, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as
compared to the same period in the previous year due to higher market interest
rates, offset by lower average balances. Interest expense on floating rate
junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures increased $39,000, or 27.86%,
to $179,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $140,000 during the
same period in 2005 due to higher market interest rates.
Provision for Loan Losses
- -------------------------
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the provision for loan losses was
$135,000 as compared to $341,000 for the same period in the previous year with a
decrease in classified loans partially offset by loan growth. Classified loans
decreased $1,064,000 from $3,388,000 at December 31, 2005 to $2,324,000 at June
30, 2006. Loans 30-89 days past due and still accruing was $3,708,000 at June
30, 2006 compared to $1,909,000 at December 31, 2005. The delinquent loans for
the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased $1,799,000 from December 31, 2005
due primarily to an increase in 3 delinquencies for commercial loans. Since the
quarter end, approximately 50% of the commercial loans have been brought
current. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, bad debt charge-offs, net
of recoveries, was $102,000 as compared to $46,000 for the same period in the
previous year.
Non-Interest Income
- -------------------
Total non-interest income increased $54,000, or 8.02%, to $727,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2006 from $673,000 for the same period in the previous
year. Fees from financial services increased $84,000, or 13.0%, to $730,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $646,000 for the same period in the
previous year. The increase was from an increase in transaction accounts along
with higher consumer and commercial loan fees from an increase in average
outstanding loan balances.
Non-Interest Expense
- --------------------
For the three months ended June 30, 2006, total non-interest expense increased
$283,000, or 13.54%, to $2,373,000 from $2,090,000 for the same period in 2005.
Compensation and employee benefits increased $162,000, or 16.48%, to $1,145,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $983,000 for the same period in
2005 due primarily to higher compensation and benefits costs for normal merit
salary increases and additional staff due to the opening of a new banking center
location in Simpsonville, South Carolina in March, 2006. Advertising/public
relations expense increased $37,000, or 160.87%, to $60,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 from $23,000 for the same period in 2005 due primarily to
product and promotion expenses for the new banking center location. Loan
operations expense decreased $21,000, or 60.0%, to $14,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 from $35,000 for the same period in 2005, due to lower costs
20
associated with loan foreclosures. Items processing expense increased $20,000,
or 68.97%, to $49,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from $29,000 for
the same period in 2005 due to transaction accounts increasing to $94.5 million
at June 30, 2006 from $81.7 million at June 30, 2005. The Corporation continues
to target lower cost demand deposit accounts through media advertising versus
traditional higher cost certificates of deposits. Telephone expense increased
$13,000, or 34.21%, to $51,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 from
$38,000 for the same period in 2005 due to higher expense from two new banking
center openings. Other expense increased $65,000, or 34.21%, to $255,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2006 from $190,000 for the same period in 2005 due
to higher loan expense from increased production and higher forms and supplies
expense from two new banking center openings.

Interest Income
- ---------------
Interest income increased $2,078,000, or 22.79%, to $11,196,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005. Interest
income on loans increased by 35.02%, or $2,054,000, to $7,919,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 from $5,865,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2005, due primarily to increasing market interest rates along with a higher
average balance of loans with a higher average rate due to our increased
emphasis on commercial and consumer loan originations. Interest on deposits and
federal funds sold, combined with interest and dividends on investment and
mortgage-backed securities increased $24,000, or 0.74%, for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 to $3,277,000 from $3,253,000 during the same period in 2005 due
to higher yields, from higher market interest rates, offset by lower average
balances.
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense increased $1,692,000, or 40.59%, to $5,861,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $1,189,000, or 49.11%, to
$3,610,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $2,421,000 during the
same period in 2005 due to higher averages balances and cost of deposits as a
result of higher market rates. The Corporation continues to target lower cost
demand deposit accounts versus traditional higher cost certificates of deposits.
Interest expense on borrowings increased $423,000, or 28.56%, for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in the previous year due to
higher market interest rates, offset by lower average balances. Interest expense
on floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures increased
$80,000, or 29.96%, to $347,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from
$267,000 during the same period in 2005 due to higher market interest rates.
Provision for Loan Losses
- -------------------------
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the provision for loan losses was
$310,000 as compared to $548,000 for the same period in the previous year with a
decrease in classified loans partially offset by loan growth. The provision also
reflects the Corporation's continued movement from longer term, fixed rate
residential mortgage loans to shorter term, floating rate consumer and
commercial loans. Consumer and commercial loans carry higher risk weighted rates
in the reserve calculation as compared to residential mortgage loans. Real
estate acquired in foreclosure and loans classified as substandard and doubtful
decreased $1,064,000 from $3,388,000 at December 31, 2005 to $2,324,000 at June
30, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, bad debt charge-offs, net
of recoveries, was $130,000 as compared to $108,000 for the same period in the
previous year. The Corporation's loan loss allowance at June 30, 2006 was
approximately 1.19% of the Corporation's outstanding loan portfolio and 178.38%
of non-performing loans compared to 1.23% of the Corporation's outstanding loan
portfolio and 162.86% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2005.

The allowance for loan loss calculation includes a segmentation of loan
categories subdivided by residential mortgage, commercial and consumer loans.
Each category is rated for all loans including performing groups. The weight
assigned to each performing group is developed from previous loan loss
experience and as the loss experience changes, the category weight is adjusted
accordingly. In addition to loan loss experience, management's evaluation of the
loan portfolio includes the market value of the underlying collateral, growth
and composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency trends and economic
conditions. Management evaluates the carrying value of loans periodically and
the allowance for loan loss calculation will adjust accordingly.
Non-Interest Income
- -------------------
Total non-interest income increased $163,000, or 13.04%, to $1,413,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2006 from $1,250,000 for the same period in the
previous year. Fees from financial services increased $172,000, or 14.47%, to
$1,361,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $1,189,000 for the same
period in the previous year. The increase was due to higher service fees as a
result of an increase in transaction accounts.
23
Non-Interest Expense
- --------------------
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, total non-interest expense increased
$368,000, or 8.78%, to $4,560,000 from $4,192,000 for the same period in 2005.
Compensation and employee benefits increased $233,000, or 11.66%, to $2,231,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $1,998,000 for the same period in
2005 due primarily to higher compensation and benefits costs for normal merit
salary increases and additional staff due to the opening of a new banking center
location in Simpsonville, South Carolina in March, 2006. Occupancy and equipment
expense decreased $18,000, or 1.75%, to $1,013,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2006 from $1,031,000 for the same period in 2005 due to primarily to lower
depreciation expense. Professional services expense increased $34,000, or
17.99%, to $223,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $189,000 for the
same period in 2005 due to higher legal expenses primarily due to the changing
the name of the holding company during the first quarter of 2006.
Advertising/public relations expense increased $36,000, or 59.02%, to $97,000
for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $61,000 for the same period in 2005
due primarily to product and promotion expenses for the new banking center
location. Loan operations expense decreased $48,000, or 62.34%, to $29,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $77,000 for the same period in 2005, due
to lower costs associated with foreclosures. Items processing expense increased
$39,000, or 63.93%, to $100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from
$61,000 for the same period in 2005 due to transaction accounts increasing to
$94.5 million at June 30, 2006 from $81.7 million at June 30, 2005. The
Corporation continues to target lower cost demand deposit accounts through media
advertising versus traditional higher cost certificates of deposits. Other
expense increased $88,000, or 24.72%, to $444,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2006 from $356,000 for the same period in 2005 due to higher loan expense
from increased production and higher forms and supplies expense from two new
banking center openings.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Corporation is committed to following a program of asset and liability
management in an effort to manage the fluctuations in earnings caused by
movements in interest rates. A significant portion of the Corporation's income
results from the spread between the yield realized on its interest-earning
assets and the rate of interest paid on its deposits and other borrowings.
Differences in the timing and volume of repricing assets versus the timing and
volume of repricing liabilities expose the Corporation to interest rate risk.
Management's policies are directed at minimizing the impact on earnings of
movements in interest rates.
The Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee makes pricing and marketing
decisions on deposit and loan products in conjunction with managing the
Corporation's interest rate risk. In addition, the Asset/Liability Committee
reviews the Corporation's securities portfolio, FHLB advances and other
borrowings as well as the Corporation's asset and liability policies.
24
The primary objective of Asset/Liability management at the Corporation is to
manage interest rate risk and achieve reasonable stability in net interest
income throughout interest rate cycles in order to maintain adequate liquidity.
This is achieved by maintaining the proper balance of rate-sensitive earning
assets and rate-sensitive costing liabilities. The relationship of
rate-sensitive earning assets to rate-sensitive costing liabilities is the
principal factor in projecting the effect that fluctuating interest rates will
have on future net interest income. Rate-sensitive assets and interest-bearing
liabilities are those that can be repriced to current market rates within a
relatively short time period. Management monitors the rate sensitivity of
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities over the entire life of these
instruments.
The Corporation has established policies and monitors results to control
interest rate sensitivity. Although the Corporation utilizes measures such as
static gap, which is simply the measurement of the difference between
interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities repricing for a
particular time period, just as important a process is the evaluation of how
particular assets and liabilities are impacted by changes in interest rates or
selected indices as they reprice. Asset/liability modeling techniques are
utilized by the Corporation to assess varying interest rate and balance sheet
mix assumptions.
Net Interest Income Simulation Analysis. We analyze our interest rate
sensitivity position to manage the risk associated with interest rate movements
through the use of interest income simulation. The matching of assets and
liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and
liabilities are "interest sensitive." An asset or liability is said to be
interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or
reprice within that time period.
Our goal is to manage asset and liability positions to moderate the effects of
interest rate fluctuations on net interest income. Interest income simulations
utilizing interest rate shocks are completed quarterly and presented to the
Asset/Liability Committee. The simulations provide an estimate of the impact of
changes in interest rates on net interest income under a range of assumptions.
The interest rate shocks are compared to board approved policy limits and are
reviewed by the Asset/Liability Committee on a quarterly basis. The simulation
incorporates assumptions regarding the potential timing in the repricing of
certain assets and liabilities when market rates change and the changes in
spreads between different market rates. The simulation analysis incorporates
management's current assessment of the risk that pricing margins will change
adversely over time due to competition or other factors.
Simulation analysis is only an estimate of our interest rate risk exposure at a
particular point in time. We continually review the potential effect changes in
interest rates could have on the repayment of rate sensitive assets and funding
requirements of rate sensitive liabilities.
The table below sets forth an approximation of our exposure as a percentage of
estimated net interest income for the next twelve month period using interest
income simulation. The simulation uses projected repricing of assets and
liabilities on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and
scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on
interest income simulation. When interest rates rise, prepayments tend to slow.
When interest rates fall, prepayments tend to rise.
25
The following table reflects changes in estimated net interest income from rate
shocks of (+) or (-) 100 and 200 basis points in a rising and falling interest
rate environment for the Corporation.
At At
June 30, December 31,
Change in Rates (Basis Points 2006 2005
----------------------------- ---- ----
+200 +6.49% +5.88%
+100 +3.35% +3.24%
(100) (4.43%) (4.97%)
(200) (8.42%) (7.72%)
The Corporation improved slightly in rising interest rate environments for the
period ending June 30, 2006 as compared to the period ending December 31, 2005
due primarily to significant growth in prime based loan products.
The 200 and 100 basis point change in rates in the above table is assumed to
occur evenly over the following twelve months. Based on the scenario above, net
interest income would be positively affected in the twelve-month periods if
rates rose by 100 and 200 basis points, but would be adversely affected if rates
declined by 100 and 200 basis points.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
-----------------------
The Corporation's management, including the Corporation's principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the
Corporation's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon their evaluation, the principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end
of the period covered by this report, the Corporation's disclosure controls and
procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information
required to be disclosed in the reports that the Corporation files or submits
under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
(1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated
to the Corporation's management, including its principal executive and principal
financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
There has been no change in the Corporation's internal control over financial
reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule
13(a)-15(e) that occurred during the Corporation's last fiscal quarter that has
materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Corporation's internal control over financial reporting.
