Note to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and, accordingly, they are condensed and omit certain disclosures that would appear in audited annual consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2011 and for the interim periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation. The consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in First Reliance Bancshares, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 2 - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that could impact the accounting, reporting, and / or disclosure of financial information by the Company.

In July 2010, the Receivables topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) was amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-20 to require expanded disclosures related to a company’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financing receivables. The amendments require the allowance disclosures to be provided on a disaggregated basis. The Company is required to include these disclosures in its interim and annual financial statements. See Note 6.

Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) required by ASU 2010-20 were deferred by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in ASU 2011-01 issued in January 2011. In April 2011 the FASB issued ASU 2011-02 to assist creditors with their determination of when a restructuring is a TDR. The determination is based on whether the restructuring constitutes a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties as both events must be present. Disclosures related to TDRs under ASU 2010-20 are presented in Note 6.

In April 2011, the criteria used to determine effective control of transferred assets in the Transfers and Servicing topic of the ASC was amended by ASU 2011-03. The requirement for the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms and the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion were removed from the assessment of effective control. The other criteria to assess effective control were not changed. The amendments are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012, but are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

ASU 2011-04 was issued in May 2011 to amend the Fair Value Measurement topic of the ASC by clarifying the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and by changing particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012, but are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements.

The Comprehensive Income topic of the ASC was amended in June 2011. The amendment eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendment requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income and requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income on the face of the financial statements. The amendments will be applicable to the Company on January 1, 2012 and will be applied retrospectively.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3 - Reclassifications

Certain captions and amounts in the financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were reclassified to conform to the September 30, 2011 presentation.

Note 4 - Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized income, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects are as follows:

				Tax
	Pre-tax			(Expense)			Net-of-tax
	Amount			Benefit			Amount
For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011:
Unrealized net gains on securities available-for-sale	$	2,042,431		$	(661,192	)	$	1,381,239
Reclassification adjustment for net losses in net income		(64,274	)		21,853			(42,421	)

At September 30, 2011, securities classified as available-for-sale were recorded at fair market value. The unrealized loss reported above was the result of one individual security in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more. The Company does not intend to sell this security in the near future and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell this security before recovery of its amortized cost. The Company believes, based on industry analyst reports and credit ratings, that the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and is not in the credit quality of the issuer and therefore, this loss is not considered other-than-temporary.

During the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities were $40,807,255 and $40,631,817, respectively. Net gains on available-for-sale securities totaled $516,582 and $803,398 for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company identifies impaired loans through its normal internal loan review process. Loans on the Company’s problem loan watch list are considered potentially impaired loans. These loans are evaluated in determining whether all outstanding principal and interest are expected to be collected. Loans are not considered impaired if a minimal delay occurs and all amounts due including accrued interest at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay are expected to be collected.

The following summarizes the Company’s impaired loans as of September 30, 2011.

Interest income on impaired loans other than nonaccrual loans is recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only as collected. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans was $170,335. If the nonaccrual loans had been accruing interest at their original contracted rates, income related to these nonaccrual loans would have been $975,110 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest totaled $17,171 and $1,910,413, respectively.

Loans totaling $23,518,313 and $19,866,061 were in nonaccruing status at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. When the ultimate collectability of a nonaccrual loan's principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to the principal. When this doubt does not exist, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Included in the loans above are particular loans that have been modified in order to maximize the collection of loan balances. If, for economic or legal reasons related to the customer’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession compared to the original terms and conditions on the loan, the modified loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring (Topic 310), which modified guidance for identifying restructurings of receivables that constitute a TDR. As a result of adopting the provisions of ASU 2011-02, the Company reassessed all loan modifications that occurred after December 31, 2010 for identification as TDRs. In complying with the provisions of the ASU, the Company did not identify any new TDRs as of July 1, 2011.

Total amount of troubled debt restructured loans outstanding as of September 30, 2011, was $1,206,955, including loans of $856,955 which were performing and $350,000 which were not performing. At December 31, 2010, troubled debt restructured loans outstanding was $1,015,992. At that point, all of these loans were performing. For both periods, all restructured loans were due to the extension of the maturity date and were included impaired loans.

All loans and leases modified in troubled debt restructurings are evaluated for impairment. The nature and extent of impairment of TDRs, including those which have experienced a subsequent default, are considered in determining an appropriate level of allowance for credit losses.

Credit Indicators

Loans are categorized into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The following definitions are utilized for risk ratings, which are consistent with the definitions used in supervisory guidance:

Special Mention - Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

As of September 30, 2011, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

The Company enters into financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. 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. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. A commitment involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to the instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the instrument. Since certain commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee a customer’s performance to a third party and have essentially the same credit risk as other lending facilities.

Collateral held for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

The following table summarizes the Company’s off-balance sheet financial instruments as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010
Commitments to extend credit	$	32,504,982	$	32,932,922

Note 9 - Equity Incentive Plan

On January 19, 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for the granting of dividend equivalent rights options, performance unit awards, phantom shares, stock appreciation rights and stock awards, each of which are subject to such conditions based upon continued employment, passage of time or satisfaction of performance criteria or other criteria as permitted by the plan. The plan, as amended on September 17, 2010, allows the Company to award, subject to approval by the Board of Directors, up to 950,000 shares of stock, to officers, employees, and directors, consultants and service providers of the Company or its affiliates. Awards may be granted for a term of up to ten years from the effective date of grant. Under this Plan, our Board of Directors has sole discretion as to the exercise date of any awards granted. The per-share exercise price of incentive stock awards may not be less than the market value of a share of common stock on the date the award is granted. Any awards that expire unexercised or are canceled become available for re-issuance.

The Company can issue the restricted shares as of the grant date either by the issuance of share certificate(s) evidencing restricted shares or by documenting the issuance in uncertificated or book entry form on the Company's stock records. Except as provided by the Plan, the employee does not have the right to make or permit to exist any transfer or hypothecation of any restricted shares. When restricted shares vest, the employee must either pay the Company within two business days the amount of all tax withholding obligations imposed on the Company or make an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to pay taxes at grant date.

Restricted shares may be subject to one or more objective employment, performance or other forfeiture conditions established by the Plan Committee at the time of grant. The restricted shares will not vest unless the Company’s retained earnings at the end of the fiscal quarter preceding the third anniversary of the restricted share award date are greater than the award value of the restricted shares. Any shares of restricted stock that are forfeited will again become available for issuance under the Plan. An employee or director has the right to vote the shares of restricted stock after grant until they are forfeited or vested. Compensation cost for restricted stock is equal to the market value of the shares at the date of the award and is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period. Dividends, if any, will be paid on awarded but unvested stock.

-16-

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 the Company issued 20,000 and 191,043 shares, respectively, of restricted stock pursuant to the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. The shares issued in 2011 and 2010 cliff vest in three years and are fully vested in 2013 and 2012, respectively, subject to meeting the performance criteria of the Plan. The weighted-average fair value of restricted stock issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2.20 and $3.99 per share, respectively. Compensation cost associated with the issuance for 2011 and 2010 was $44,000 and $762,302, respectively, to be amortized over three years. During the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, 41,778 and 633 shares were forfeited having a weighted average price of $3.39 and $11.88, respectively. Deferred compensation expense of $154,770 and $188,794, relating to restricted stock, was amortized to income during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs"). The SARs entitle the participant to receive the excess of (1) the market value of a specified or determinable number of shares of the stock at the exercise date over the fair value at grant date or (2) a specified or determinable price which may not in any event be less than the fair market value of the stock at the time of the award. Upon exercise, the Company can elect to settle the awards using either Company stock or cash. The shares start vesting after five years and vest at 20% per year until fully vested. Compensation cost for SARs is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period.

The SARs compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $38,058 and $55,681, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s SARs as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 and changes during the period then ended is presented below.

Note 10 – Income Taxes

Amounts provided for income taxes are based on income reported for financial statement purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of September 30, 2011, our gross deferred tax asset resulting from continuing operations was $8,880,892. However, as of September 30, 2011, taking into consideration our recent financial results, the uncertainty involved in projecting near-term profitability, and evaluation our tax planning strategies, we have provided for a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets in the amount of $6,691,158. This allowance reflects our estimate of the portion of our deferred tax assets that will not be realized in the near future.

The Company believes that its income tax filing positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns will more likely than not be sustained upon audit by the taxing authorities and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.

Note 11 – Net Loss Per Share

Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of significant financial instruments:

Cash and Due from Banks and Interest-bearing Deposits with Other Banks - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Time Deposits in other Banks - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities Available-for-Sale - The fair values of securities available-for-sale equal the carrying amounts, which are the quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities.

Nonmarketable Equity Securities - The carrying amount of nonmarketable equity securities is a reasonable estimate of fair value since no ready market exists for these securities.

Loans Held-for-Sale - The carrying amount of loans held for sale is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans Receivable – For certain categories of loans, such as variable rate loans which are repriced frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on the carrying amounts. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to a schedule of aggregated expected maturities.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because these instruments typically have terms of one day.

Advances From Federal Home Loan Bank - The fair values of fixed rate borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the Company’s current borrowing rate from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The carrying amounts of variable rate borrowings are reasonable estimates of fair value because they can be repriced frequently.

Junior Subordinated Debentures - The carrying value of the junior subordinated debentures approximates their fair value since they were issued at a floating rate.

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable - The carrying value of these instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

-18-

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments - Fair values of off-balance sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30, 3011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value that requires disclosures about the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet, whether the measurements are made on a recurring basis (for example, available-for-sale investment securities) or on a nonrecurring basis (for example, impaired loans).

Fair value is defined as the exchange in price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities, available-for-sale, are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of the lower of cost or market accounting or the writing down of individual assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine the fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 -

Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 -

Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

-19-

Level 3 -

Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Securities Available for Sale - Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Loans - The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, however, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan loss is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures the impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several valuation methods, including the collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring a specific allowance represent loans for which the fair value of expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based upon the fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned - Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is recorded initially at estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs at the date of foreclosure. The initial recorded value may be subsequently reduced by additional allowances, which are charges to earnings if the estimated fair value of the property less estimated selling costs declines below the initial recorded value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

The tables below present the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the hierarchy at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). The following table presents the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, aggregated by level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Impaired loans which are measured for impairment using the fair value of collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a carrying value of $25,183,965 at September 30, 2011 with a valuation allowance of $1,613,025. Impaired loans had a carrying value of $19,301,570 at December 31, 2010 with a valuation allowance of $559,564.

Other real estate owned, which is measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, had a net carrying value of $19,438,939 and $14,669,051 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Write downs of other real estate owned for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $937,255 and $202,662, respectively.

The Company has no assets or liabilities whose fair values are measured using level 3 inputs.

Note 13 - Subsequent Events

Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. Recognized subsequent events are events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. Unrecognized subsequent events are events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date. Management has reviewed events occurring through the date the financial statements were issued and no subsequent events have occurred that require accrual or disclosure.

deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers resulting in significant increases in loan losses and provisions for those losses;

changes in loan underwriting, credit review or loss reserve policies associated with economic conditions, examination conclusions, or regulatory developments;

the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for possible loan losses;

changes in political and economic conditions, including the political and economic effects of the current economic downturn and other major developments, including the ongoing war on terrorism and political unrest in the Middle East;

changes in financial market conditions, either internationally, nationally or locally in areas in which the Company conducts its operations, including, without limitation, reduced rates of business formation and growth, commercial and residential real estate development, and real estate prices;

the Company’s ability to comply with any requirements imposed on it or the Bank by their respective regulators, and the potential negative consequences that may result;

fluctuations in markets for equity, fixed-income, commercial paper and other securities, which could affect availability, market liquidity levels, and pricing;

governmental monetary and fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes;

the Company’s participation or lack of participation in governmental programs implemented under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (the “EESA”) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the “ARRA”), including, without limitation, the CPP administered under the Troubled Asset Relief Program, and the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (the “TLGP”) and the impact of such programs and related regulations on the Company and on international, national, and local economic and financial markets and conditions;

the Company’s lack of participation in a “stress test” under the Federal Reserve’s Supervisory Capital Assessment Program; the diagnostic and stress testing we conducted differs from that administered under the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program, and the results of our test may be inaccurate; and

the impact of the EESA and the ARRA and related rules and regulations on the business operations and competitiveness of the Company and other participating American financial institutions, including the impact of the executive compensation limits of these acts, which may impact the ability of the Company to retain and recruit executives and other personnel necessary for their businesses and competitiveness.

Overview

The following discussion describes our results of operation for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and also analyzes our financial condition as of September 30, 2011 as compared to December 31, 2010.

Like most community bank holding companies, we derive the majority of our income from interest received on our loans and investments. Our primary source of funds for making these loans and investments is our deposits, on which we pay interest. Consequently, one of the key measures of our success is our amount of net interest income, or the difference between the income on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and the expense on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Another key measure is the spread between the yield we earn on these interest-earning assets and the rate we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, which is called our net interest spread.

There are risks inherent in all loans, so we maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. We maintain this allowance by charging a provision for loan losses against our operating earnings for each period. We have included a detailed discussion of this process, as well as several tables describing our allowance for loan losses.

In addition to earning interest on our loans and investments, we earn income through fees and other charges to our customers. We have also included a discussion of the various components of this non-interest income, as well as our non-interest expense.

The following discussion and analysis also identifies significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements. We encourage you to read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our financial statements and the other statistical information included in our filings with the SEC.

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, 2010 as filed on our annual report on Form 10-K. 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 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 major 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 portion of this discussion that addresses our allowance for loan losses for a description of our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses.

Regulatory Matters

Following an examination of the Bank by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) during the first quarter of 2010, the Bank’s Board of Directors agreed to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “Bank MOU”) with the FDIC and South Carolina Commissioner of Banks (“SC State Board”) that became effective August 19, 2010. Among other things, the Bank MOU provides for the Bank to (i) review and formulate objectives relative to liquidity and growth, including a reduction in reliance on volatile liabilities, (ii) formulate plans for the reduction and improvement in adversely classified assets, (iii) maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 8% and continue to be “well capitalized” for regulatory purposes, (iv) continue to maintain an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses, (v) not pay any dividend to the Bank’s parent holding company without the approval of the regulators, (vi) review officer performance and consider additional staffing needs, and (vii) provide progress reports and submit various other information to the regulators.

-23-

In addition, on the basis of the same examination by the FDIC and the SC State Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (the “Federal Reserve Bank”) requested that the Company enter into a separate Memorandum of Understanding, which the Company entered into in December 2010 (the “Company MOU”). While this agreement provides for many of the same measures suggested by the Memorandum already in place for the Bank, the Company MOU requires that the Company seek pre-approval from the Federal Reserve Bank prior to the declaration or payment of dividends or other interest payments relating to its securities. As a result, until the Company is no longer subject to the Company MOU, it will be required to seek regulatory approval prior to paying scheduled dividends on its preferred stock and trust preferred securities, including the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock issued to the Treasury as part of our participation in the TARP CPP, as well as the Series C Preferred Stock issued as part of a private offering completed in 2010. This provision will also apply to the Company’s common stock, although, to date, the Company has not elected to pay a cash dividend on its shares of common stock. The Federal Reserve Bank approved the scheduled payment of dividends on the Company’s preferred stock and interest payments on the Company’s trust preferred securities for the first three quarters of 2011. The Federal Reserve did not approve the Company’s request to pay dividends and interest payments relating to its outstanding classes of preferred stock and trust preferred securities due and payable in the fourth quarter of 2011. As a result, no assurance can be given as to the ability of the Company to obtain approval from the Federal Reserve Bank to resume the payment of such dividends and interest in future quarters while the Company MOU remains in effect.

In response to these Regulatory Matters, the Bank and the Company have taken various actions over the past year designed to improve our lending procedures, nonperforming assets, liquidity and capital position and other conditions related to our operations, which are more fully described in turn as part of this discussion. We believe that the successful completion of these initiatives will result in full compliance with our regulatory obligations with the FDIC, the SC State Board and the Federal Reserve and position us well for stability and growth over the long term.

Effect of Economic Trends

Economic conditions, competition and federal monetary and fiscal policies also affect financial institutions. Lending activities are also influenced by regional and local economic factors, such as housing supply and demand, competition among lenders, customer preferences and levels of personal income and savings in our primary market area.

Results of Operations

Net loss available to common shareholders was $9,060,425 and $9,111,018 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $604,704 and $1,096,812 for the same 2010 periods, respectively. Our basic and diluted loss per common share was $2.21 and $2.22 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively, compared to $0.15 and $0.28 for the same 2010 periods, respectively.

For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011, our net loss available to common shareholders was $8,455,721 and $8,014,206, respectively, higher than for the comparable 2010 periods. During the third quarter, as a result of evaluating the realization of our deferred tax assets in future periods, we determined that it is more likely than not that approximately $6,700,000 of our gross deferred tax assets relating to continuing operations at September 30, 2011 will not be realized. Therefore we increased the related valuation allowance by approximately $6,600,000.

Comparing the third quarter of 2011 with 2010, our provision for loan losses increased $1,561,069, mainly as the result of three large credits deteriorating significantly during the third quarter of 2011.

Expenses associated with our properties acquired through foreclosures continue to negatively impact our operating results. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, expenses for foreclosed properties were $175,175 and $1,313,130, respectively, higher than those for the comparable 2010 periods.

Due primarily to the changes in our contingency reserve for mortgage loan buy back expense, our mortgage loan expense was $421,195 and $773,031 higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the comparable 2010 periods, respectively.

In addition, our operating results were negatively impacted by the reduction of $866,070 and $286,816 in net gains from the sale of securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to the comparable 2010 periods.

Income Statement Review

Net Interest Income

The largest component of our net income is net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on assets and interest paid on deposits and on the borrowings used to support such assets. Net interest income is determined by the yields earned on our interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the degree of mismatch and the maturity and repricing characteristics of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Total interest-earning assets yield less total interest-bearing liabilities rate represents our net interest rate spread.

-24-

Net interest income increased $309,718 or 7.81%, to $4,274,376 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, from $3,964,658 for the comparable period of 2010. Our net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $12,648,750 and $12,179,128, respectively. This represents an increase of $469,622 or 3.86%. The improvement in our net interest income for both periods is due primarily to the fact that we were able to increase our net interest spread by 85 and 76 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, from the net interest spread realized for the comparable 2010 periods. We accomplished this by significantly reducing the average volume of our time deposits which are historically our most expensive deposits. Comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, with the comparable 2010 periods, the average volume of our time deposits decreased by 28.80% and 28.25%, respectively. See “Rate/Volume Analysis” below for a more detailed discussion.

For the third quarter of 2011, average-earning assets totaled $451,244,119 with an annualized average yield of 5.21% compared to $530,926,616, and 5.16%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010. Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $412,124,876 with an annualized average cost of 1.55% for third quarter of 2011 compared to $489,878,682 and 2.35%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010.

Average earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $457,783,324 and $546,711,207, respectively, with an annualized average yield of 5.17% and 5.25% respectively. Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $421,294,366 and $507,761,100 with an annualized average cost of 1.60% and 2.44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Our net interest margin and net interest spread were 3.80% and 3.66%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2011 compared to 3.00% and 2.81%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our net interest margin and net interest spread were 3.69% and 3.57%, respectively compared to 2.98% and 2.81%, respectively for the comparable period of 2010.

Because loans often provide a higher yield than other types of earning assets, one of our goals is to maintain our loan portfolio as the largest component of total earning assets. Loans comprised 72.62% and 73.75% of average earning assets for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2011, respectively compared to 70.08% and 70.65%, respectively for the comparable period of 2010.

Loan interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $5,037,612 and $15,127,300, respectively compared to $5,653,540 and $17,719,753, respectively for the comparable periods of 2010. The annualized average yield on loans was 6.17% and 5.99%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 6.09% and 6.13%, respectively for the comparable 2010 periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the average balances of our loans decreased $44,375,417, or 11.93% and $48,681,863, or 12.60%, respectively. Our loan interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, continued to be negatively impacted by the lower loan demand, which has also reduced our loan pricing, and the high volume of our nonperforming loans.

Available-for-sale investment securities averaged $95,045,955, or 21.06% of average earning assets, for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $116,885,816, or 22.02% of average earning assets for the third quarter of 2010. Available-for-sale investment securities averaged $87,673,600 and 19.15% of average earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $120,088,252 and 21.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Interest earned on available-for-sale securities amounted to $808,449 and $2,498,266 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $1,145,817 and $3,645,872 respectively, for the same periods last year. With the relatively low yield available on our securities portfolio, we chose to instead reduce our securities position proportionally with a reduction in higher cost deposits as part of our effort to reduce interest expense. The annualized average yield on available-for-sale investment securities was 3.41% and 3.93% for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The annualized average yield on available-for-sale investment securities was 3.81% and 4.06% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Our average interest-bearing deposits were $381,770,338 and $452,761,112 for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. This represented a decrease of $70,990,774, or 15.68%. Our average interest-bearing deposits were $391,364,837 and $470,049,111 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This represented a decrease of $78,684,274, or 16.74%. Total interest paid on deposits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $1,465,991 and $4,862,966, respectively, compared to $2,473,374 and $8,099,592 for the same periods of 2010. The annualized average cost of deposits was 1.54% and 2.19% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The annualized average cost of deposits was 1.66% and 2.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As our loan demand declined, we concurrently lowered our rates paid for deposits, especially for time deposits, which is the primary reason why our average time deposits were 28.80% and 28.25% lower during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 than during the comparable 2010 periods.

-25-

The average balance of other interest-bearing liabilities was $30,354,538 and $37,117,570 for the three months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This represented a decrease of $6,763,032 or 18.22%. For the nine months ending September 30, 2011 and 2010 the average balance of other interest bearing liabilities was $29,929,529 and $37,711,989, respectively. This represented a decrease of $7,782,460 or 20.64%. The decrease in both periods is mainly attributable to the decrease in our average borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. With the weakness in loan demand we experienced during the past year, we became less reliant on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank to meet our funding needs. We have instead shifted our focus to building locally-sourced core deposits in order to provide a lower-cost source of liquidity.

The following table sets forth, for the period indicated, certain information related to our average balance sheet and our average yields on assets and average costs of liabilities. Such yields are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of the corresponding assets or liabilities. Average balances have been derived from the daily balances throughout the periods indicated.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

We have developed policies and procedures for evaluating the overall quality of our credit portfolio and the timely identification of potential problem credits. On a quarterly basis, our Board of Directors reviews and approves the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses based upon management’s recommendations, the results of our internal monitoring and reporting system, and an analysis of economic conditions in our market. The objective of management has been to fund the allowance for loan losses at a level greater than or equal to our internal risk measurement system for loan risk.

Additions to the allowance for loan losses, which are expensed as the provision for loan losses on our statement of operations, are made periodically to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level based on management’s analysis of the potential risk in the loan portfolio. Loan losses and recoveries are charged or credited directly to the allowance. The amount of the provision is a function of the level of loans outstanding, the level of nonperforming loans, historical loan loss experience that incorporates geographic segmentation analysis, the amount of loan losses actually charged against the reserve during a given period, and current and anticipated economic conditions.

The allowance represents an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb inherent losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Our judgment as to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on a number of assumptions about future events, which we believe to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove to be accurate. Our determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on regular evaluations of the collectability of loans, including consideration of factors such as the balance of impaired loans, the quality, mix, and size of our overall loan portfolio, economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the amount and quality of collateral securing the loans, our historical loan loss experience, and a review of adversely classified loans. We also consider subjective issues such as changes in our lending policies and procedures, changes in the local and national economy, changes in volume or type of credits, changes in the volume or severity of problem loans, quality of loan review and board of director oversight, concentrations of credit, and peer group comparisons.

More specifically, in determining our allowance for loan losses, we regularly review loans for specific and impaired reserves based on the appropriate impairment assessment methodology. Pooled reserves are determined using historical loss trends measured over a four-quarter average applied to risk rated loans grouped by Federal Financial Examination Council (“FFIEC”) call code and segmented by impairment status. The pooled reserves are calculated by applying the appropriate historical loss ratio to the loan categories. Impaired loans greater than a minimum threshold established by management are excluded from this analysis. The sum of all such amounts determines our pooled reserves. Earlier this year, the Company undertook a thorough statistical review of our recognized recent loss history. This analysis revealed that over 80% of our losses were concentrated in the coastal markets. Management elected to reduce the Bank’s portfolio exposure to the coastal markets due to this and other factors. As a result, we determined that it would be appropriate to modify our loss history calculation to segment our losses by geography. We now calculate a loss factor for each geographic region, then weight the overall loss factor by the geographic weight remaining in the overall portfolio. Over time, we expect these changes to our loan loss allowance methodology to have a material impact on our required allowance level as we continue to reduce our exposure to certain markets. We have also shortened the period over which we review historical losses from eight quarters to four in response to industry trends and conditions; the shorter loss history window is more in line with our peer group and tracks more closely the unusual market volatility of the past several years, making the provision estimate more responsive to current economic conditions. The model has been updated as of the end of the third quarter 2011 to reflect losses realized through the end of the second quarter 2011.

As we mentioned above, we track our portfolio and analyze loans grouped by FFIEC call code categories. The first step in this process is to risk grade each loan in the portfolio based on one common set of parameters. These parameters include items like debt-to-worth ratio, liquidity of the borrower, net worth, experience in a particular field and other factors such as underwriting exceptions. Weight is also given to the relative strength of any guarantors on the loan.

After risk grading each loan, we then segment the portfolio by FFIEC call code groupings, separating out substandard and impaired loans. The remaining loans are grouped into “performing loan pools.” The loss history for each performing loan pool is measured over a specific period of time to create a loss factor for each geographic region. The overall loss factor is then calculated by weighting each geographic region within the overall portfolio. The relevant look back period is determined by management, regulatory guidance, and current market events. The loss factor is then applied to the pool balance and the reserve per pool calculated. Loans deemed to be substandard but not impaired are segregated and a loss factor is applied to this pool as well. Loans are segmented based upon sizes as smaller impaired loans are pooled and a loss factor applied, while larger impaired loans are assessed individually using the appropriate impairment measuring methodology. Finally, five qualitative factors are utilized to assess economic and other trends not currently reflected in the loss history. These factors include concentration of credit across the portfolio, the experience level of management and staff, effects of changes in risk selection and underwriting practice, industry conditions and the current economic and business environment. A quantitative value is assigned to each of the five factors, which is then applied to the performing loan pools. Negative trends in the loan portfolio increase the quantitative values assigned to each of the qualitative factors and, therefore, increase the reserve. For example, as general economic and business conditions decline, this qualitative factor’s quantitative value will increase, which will increase the reserve requirement for this factor. Similarly, positive trends in the loan portfolio, such as improvement in general economic and business conditions, will decrease the quantitative value assigned to this qualitative factor, thereby decreasing the reserve requirement for this factor. These factors are reviewed and updated by our management committee on a regular basis to arrive at a consensus for our qualitative adjustments.

Periodically, we adjust the amount of the allowance based on changing circumstances. We recognize loan losses to the allowance and add subsequent recoveries back to the allowance for loan losses. In addition, on a quarterly basis, we informally compare our allowance for loan losses to various peer institutions; however, we recognize that allowances will vary as financial institutions are unique in the make-up of their loan portfolios and customers, which necessarily creates different risk profiles for the institutions. We would only consider further adjustments to our allowance for loan losses based on this peer review if our allowance was significantly different from our peer group. To date, we have not made any such adjustment. There can be no assurance that charge-offs of loans in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses as estimated at any point in time or that provisions for loan losses will not be significant to a particular accounting period, especially considering the overall weakness in the economic environment in our market areas.

Various regulatory agencies review our allowance for loan losses through their periodic examinations, and they may require additions to the allowance for loan losses based on their judgment and assumptions about the economic condition of our market and the loan portfolio at the time of their examinations. Our losses will undoubtedly vary from our estimates, and it is possible that charge-offs in future periods will exceed the allowance for loan losses as estimated at any point in time.

As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the allowance for loan losses was $6,422,526 and $6,819,964, respectively, a decrease of $397,438, or 5.83%, from the 2010 allowance. However, as a percentage of total loans, the allowance for loan losses was 1.98% and 1.87% at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. See the discussion regarding the provision expense and “Activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses” below for additional information regarding our asset quality and loan portfolio.

For the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, the provision for loan losses was $3,036,820 and $1,475,751, respectively, an increase of $1,561,069 or 105.78%. The provision for loan losses was $3,559,944 and $3,541,650 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This represents an increase of $18,294, or 0.52%. The increase in the provision expense for the third quarter of 2011 is due primarily to 1) increase in historical loss ratios in our coastal markets; 2) accounting adjustments required as a result of the recent regulatory examinations, and 3) certain large credits that deteriorated significantly during the quarter. As we have noted previously, borrower performance will be driven by local and regional economic conditions, and conditions did not develop favorably over the quarter for these borrowers. However, our total nonperforming loans and required reserve stayed stable during the quarter, continuing to support management’s estimate that inflow and outflow of problem loans has stabilized in the near term; this overall economic stabilization and reduction in our exposure to loans in coastal markets has resulted in lower charge-offs overall, and has guided our decision to maintain a lower total allowance on a year-over-year basis.

The provision expense estimate is the result of a robust statistical model that is based on historical credit losses and geographic segmentation analysis, as well as a thorough individual analysis of large impaired credits. It is, however, subject to a great degree of volatility and is sensitive to current quarter loss experience and real estate collateral values in the marketplace. While we normally expect this loss experience to be lower than that realized historically due to improving economic conditions relative to those experienced during the significant economic downturn of 2009 and 2010, there can be no assurance that this will occur. In particular, if regional or national economic conditions do not improve, or decline in the coming months, then the provision expense will stabilize or rise in proportion with the risk profile of our loan portfolio in a future quarter. We are closely monitoring recent economic developments and their impact on the portfolio and, more generally, our market area.

We believe the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2011, is adequate to meet potential loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and, as described earlier, to maintain the flexibility to adjust the allowance should our local economy and loan portfolio either improve or decline in the future.

Noninterest Income

The following table sets forth information related to our noninterest income.

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2011			2010		2011		2010
Service charges on deposit accounts	$	480,078		$	466,792	$	1,372,868	$	1,378,482
Gain on sale of mortgage loans		362,972			217,190		664,620		597,653

Total noninterest income	$	1,108,306		$	1,828,636	$	3,704,863	$	3,829,733

Noninterest income decreased $720,330, or 39.39%, to $1,108,306 for the third quarter of 2011 from $1,828,636 for the third quarter of 2010. Comparing the third quarter of 2011 with that of 2010, our net gain on sale of securities available-for-sale was $866,070 lower. This decrease was partially offset by the increase of $145,782 in our gain on sale of mortgage loans. Because of the low mortgage rates in effect during the third quarter of 2011, we experienced an increase in the volume of homeowners refinancing their existing mortgages.

Noninterest income decreased $124,870, or 3.26%, to $3,704,863 for the first nine months of 2011 from $3,829,733 for the first nine months of 2010.

Noninterest Expense

For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, noninterest expense totaled $5,558,065 and $5,163,102, respectively, which is $394,963, or 7.65%, higher than our noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, noninterest expense totaled $15,889,076 and $13,986,424, respectively, equating to an increase of 1,902,652, or 13.60% for 2011 compared to 2010.

The primary reason for the increase in our noninterest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same 2010 periods is attributable to the increase in the following expense items:

Expenses relating to our other real estate owned for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, was $509,504 and $334,329, respectively, which represents an increase of $175,175. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the expense was $2,042,122 and $728,992, respectively, which equates to an increase of $1,313,130 on a year-over-year basis. The increase in both periods is attributable to a significant increase in the volume in other real estate owned. At September 30, 2011, our other real estate owned totaled $19,438,939 compared to $12,742,086 at September 30, 2010.

Mortgage loan expense was $421,195 and $773,031 higher for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the comparable 2010 periods, respectively. During the third quarter of 2011, we recognized a contingency loss of approximately $500,000 for the repurchase of mortgage loans that we will more than likely have to repurchase in the near future. Due to a positive change in our mortgage litigation contingency outlook, the mortgage loan expense during the first nine months of 2010 was reduced by a positive adjustment of approximately $350,000 to our mortgage loan buyback expense.

While we realized a loss before our income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the increase in our income tax expense for these periods was the result of the increase in our deferred tax assets valuation allowance. The allowance was increased by approximately $6,600,000, based on our evaluation of the probability of utilizing net operating losses in future periods. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. During the third quarter of 2011, we determined approximately $1,400,000, of our deferred tax assets relating to continuing operations at September 30, 2011 will be realized in future periods only.

Balance Sheet Review

General

At September 30, 2011, we had total assets of $510.5 million, consisting principally of $324.4 million in loans, $91.3 million in investment securities, and $37.8 million in cash and due from banks. Our liabilities at September 30, 2011, totaled $468.0 million, which consisted principally of $434.4 million in deposits, $20.0 million in FHLB advances, and $10.6 million in other borrowings. At September 30, 2011, our shareholders’ equity was $42.5 million.

-31-

At December 31, 2010, we had total assets of $530.1 million, consisting principally of $354.3 million in loans, $88.8 million in investment securities, and $25.7 million in cash and due from banks. Our liabilities at December 31, 2010 totaled $481.5 million, consisting principally of $455.3 million in deposits, $13.0 million in FHLB advances, and $10.8 million in other borrowings. At December 31, 2010, our shareholders' equity was $48.6 million.

Investment Securities

The investment securities portfolio, which is also a component of our total earning assets, consists of securities available-for-sale and nonmarketable equity securities.

At September 30, 2011 our investment in available-for sale securities was $88,281,446, which is $3,808,893, or 4.51%, higher than our investment in available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2010.

The amortized costs and the fair value of our securities available-for-sale at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are shown in the following table.

	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Amortized		Estimated		Amortized		Estimated
	Cost		Fair Value		Cost		Fair Value
Government sponsored enterprises	$	2,867,841	$	3,067,526	$	5,031	$	5,178
Mortgage-backed securities		62,966,584		65,364,760		35,361,686		35,769,713
Municipal securities		19,091,069		19,838,160		49,804,336		48,657,162
Other		100,000		11,000		200,000		40,500
Total	$	85,025,494	$	88,281,446	$	85,371,053	$	84,472,553

At September 30, 2011, securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair market value. At that date, there was only one security that had an unrealized loss. The unrealized loss for this security was $89,000 and has been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more. We do not intend to sell this security in the near future and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell this security before recovery of its amortized cost. We believe, based on industry analyst reports and credit ratings, that the deterioration in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and is not in the credit quality of the issuer and therefore, this loss is not considered other-than-temporary.

Securities Available-for-Sale Maturity Distribution and Yields

Contractual maturities and yields on our available for sale securities at September 30, 2011 are shown in the following table. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

(1)	Excludes mortgage-backed securities totaling $65,364,760 with a yield of 3.48% and other securities totaling $11,000.

During the first nine months of 2011, we sold $40,807,255 of available-for-sale securities and replaced them with higher investor-rated securities.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, nonmarketable equity securities totaled $3,024,600 and $4,357,300, respectively, consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Community Bankers Bank stock. These stocks are recorded at their original cost. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Federal Home Loan Bank stock totaled $2,966,500 and $4,299,200, respectively. The Community Bankers Bank stock totaled $58,100 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Loans

Loans, including loans held for sale, are the largest category of earning assets and typically provide higher yields than the other types of earning assets. Associated with the higher loan yields are the inherent credit and liquidity risks that we attempt to control and counterbalance. Loans averaged $337,594,159 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $386,276,022 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $48,681,863, or 12.60%. At September 30, 2011, total loans were $325,462,573 compared to $355,513,545 at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $30,050,972, or 8.45%. Excluding loans held for sale, loans were $324,372,550 at September 30, 2011, compared to $354,327,969 at December 31, 2010, which equated to a decrease of $29,955,419, or 8.45%. This decrease is the result of the economic downturn in our markets and worldwide deleveraging that caused the volume of new loan customers and average loan balances carried by current customers to decrease.

The following table summarizes the composition of our loan portfolio September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

	September 30,		% of			December 31,		% of

In the context of this discussion, a “real estate mortgage loan” is defined as any loan, other than a loan for construction purposes, secured by real estate, regardless of the purpose of the loan. It is common practice for financial institutions in our market area to obtain a mortgage on the Borrower’s real estate when possible, in addition to any other available collateral. This real estate collateral is taken as security to reinforce the likelihood of the ultimate repayment of the loan and tends to increase management’s willingness to make real estate loans and, to that extent, also tends to increase the magnitude of the real estate loan portfolio component.

The largest component of our loan portfolio is real estate mortgage loans. At September 30, 2011, real estate mortgage loans totaled $228,049,054 and represented 70.31% of the total loan portfolio, compared to $244,372,920, or 68.97%, at December 31, 2010. From December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011, our real estate mortgage loans declined by $16,323,866, or 6.68%.

Residential mortgage loans totaled $86,164,232 at September 30, 2011, and represented 26.57% of the total loan portfolio, compared to $92,194,602 and 26.02%, respectively, at December 31, 2010. Residential real estate loans consist of first and second mortgages on single or multi-family residential dwellings. Nonresidential mortgage loans, which include commercial loans and other loans secured by multi-family properties and farmland, totaled $141,884,822 at September 30, 2011, compared to $152,178,318 at December 31, 2010. This represents a decrease of $10,293,496, or 6.76%, from the December 31, 2010 balance.

Real estate construction loans were $50,308,096 and $62,635,354 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and represented 15.51% and 17.68% of the total loan portfolio, respectively.

Currently, the demand for all types of real estate mortgage loans in our market area is very weak, largely because of the general economic downturn that has affected many businesses and individuals in our market area.

Commercial and industrial loans decreased $4,570,213, or 11.19%, to $36,286,079 at September 30, 2011, from $40,856,292 at December 31, 2010. The decrease is mainly due to the economic downturn in our markets that caused the demand for these types of loans to decrease. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, commercial and industrial loans represented 11.19% and 11.53%, respectively, of the total loan portfolio.

Our loan portfolio is also comprised of consumer and other loans that totaled $9,729,321 and $6,463,403 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, these loans represented 3.00% and 1.82%, respectively, of the total loan portfolio.

Our loan portfolio reflects the diversity of our markets. The economies of our markets contain elements of medium and light manufacturing, higher education, regional health care, and distribution facilities. Over the remainder of 2011, we expect our local economy to remain stable; however, due to the current economic challenges facing our markets, we do not expect any material growth in our loan portfolio in the near future. We do not engage in foreign lending.

Maturities and Sensitivity of Loans to Changes in Interest Rates

The information in the following tables is based on the contractual maturities of individual loans, including loans, which may be subject to renewal at their contractual maturity.Renewal of such loans is subject to review and credit approval, as well as modification of terms upon maturity. Actual repayments of loans may differ from the maturities reflected below because borrowers have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

Loans over 90 days past due and still accruing - As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had loans totaling $17,171 and $1,914,740, respectively, that were past due over 90 days and still accruing interest. All loans are secured by real estate and included in our impaired loan classification at September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Nonaccruing loans - At September 30, 2011 and 2010, loans totaling $23,518,313 and $21,117,115, respectively, were in nonaccrual status. Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due and/or we deem the collectability of the principal and/or interest to be doubtful. Generally, once a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, all previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest income, unless collection of interest accrued to date is expected. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized on a cash basis when the ultimate collectability is no longer considered doubtful. Loans are returned to accrual status when the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. If interest on our loans classified as nonaccrual at September 30, 2011 and 2010 had been recognized on a fully accruing basis, we would have recorded approximately $804,775 and $511,102 of additional interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We note that the increased volume of nonaccrual real estate mortgage loans during the first nine months of 2011 was roughly offset by a reduction in the volume of non-accrual real estate construction loans that were primarily located in coastal markets that were harder hit by the economic downturn during the same period. All nonaccruing loans at September 30, 2011 and 2010 were included in our classification of impaired loans at those dates.

Restructured Loans - In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, a concession to the borrower is granted that we would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring. The restructuring of a loan may include the transfer of real estate collateral, either through the pledge of additional properties by the borrower or through a transfer to the Bank in lieu of foreclosures. Restructured loans may also include the borrower transferring to the Bank receivables from third parties, other assets, or an equity interest in the borrower in full or partial satisfaction of the loan, a modification of the loan terms, or a combination of the above.

At September 30, 2011, we had nine restructured loans totaling $1,206,955, including $856,955 which were performing and $350,000 which were not performing. These restructured loans were all secured by real estate and included in our classification of impaired loans at September 30, 2011. For each loan, the modification made was the extension of the maturity date.

Impaired loans - At September 30, 2011, we had impaired loans totaling $25,183,965 as compared to $22,656,818 at September 30, 2010. Included in the impaired loans at September 30, 2011 were 11 borrowers that accounted for 69.11% of the total amount of the impaired loans at that date. These loans were primarily commercial real estate loans located in coastal South Carolina. Impaired loans, as a percentage of total loans, were 7.76% at September 30, 2011 as compared to 6.22% at September 30, 2010.

During the first nine months of 2011, the average investment in impaired loans was approximately $25,361,000 as compared to $27,970,625 during the first nine months of 2010. Impaired loans with a specific allocation of the allowance for loan losses totaled approximately $7,606,186 and $17,565,960 at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The amount of the specific allocation at September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $1,613,025 and $397,786, respectively.

The downturn in the real estate market that began in 2008 has resulted in an increase in loan delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures; however, we believe these trends are stabilizing as the liquidation prices for our other real estate owned have stabilized for vertical construction, indicating some stabilization of demand for that product. In some cases, the current economic downturn has resulted in a significant impairment to the value of our collateral and limits our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure at its appraised value. There is also risk that downward trends could continue at a higher pace. If real estate values further decline, it is also more likely that we would be required to increase our allowance for loan losses.

On a quarterly basis, we analyze each loan that is classified as impaired during the period to determine the potential for possible loan losses. This analysis is focused upon determining the then current estimated value of the collateral, local market condition, and estimated costs to foreclose, repair and resell the property. The net realizable value of the property is then computed and compared to the loan balance to determine the appropriate amount of specific reserve for each loan.

Since December 31, 2010, total loans individually evaluated for impairment increased by approximately $5,882,000, with practically all of the increase being attributable to loans classified as nonresidential real estate mortgage loans. Our impairment analysis was further supplemented by loan tracking based on geographic segmentation, with additional potential for impairment derived from loans secured by real estate in coastal markets that have been particularly hard hit by the economic downturn. In many cases, the value of the newly impaired nonresidential real estate mortgage loans is equivalent to the volume of our reduced exposure to real estate construction loans. As the volume of these impaired real estate construction loans, which are considered to be of higher risk based on the type and location of their related collateral than nonresidential real estate mortgage loans, has been reduced over the first nine months of 2011 we believe that the overall risk of loss in our loan portfolio has decreased.

Other nonperforming assets - Other nonperforming assets consist of other real estate owned (“OREO”) that was acquired through foreclosure. Other real estate owned is carried at fair market value minus estimated costs to sell. Current appraisals are obtained at time of foreclosure and write-downs, if any, charged to the allowance for loan losses as of the date of foreclosure. On a regular basis, we reevaluate our OREO properties for impairment. Along with gains and losses on disposal, expenses to maintain such assets and subsequent changes in the valuation allowance are included in other noninterest expense.

As of September 30, 2011, we had OREO properties totaling $19,438,939 that were geographically located in the following South Carolina areas - 76% in the Coastal area, 13% in the Columbia area and 11% in the Florence area. The combined nature of these properties is 89% commercial and 11% residential and other. While we are diligently trying to dispose of our OREO properties, the currently depressed real estate market affects our ability to do so in a timely manner without experiencing additional losses. Additionally, there can be no assurance that these properties can be sold for their carrying values.

Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $86,466,734 or 17.03%, to $421,294,366 for the nine months ending September 30, 2011 from $507,761,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Deposits declined mainly as a result of our effort to reduce high cost wholesale time deposits.

Deposits - For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, average total deposits were $440,313,854 and $513,927,952, respectively, which is a decrease of $73,614,098, or 14.32%. At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, total deposits were $434,364,833 and $455,250,465, respectively, a decrease of $20,885,632, or 4.59%.

Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $78,684,274, or 16.74%, to $391,364,837 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $470,049,111 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The average balance of non-interest bearing deposits increased $5,070,176, or 11.55%, to $48,949,017 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from $43,878,841 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The following table shows the average balance amounts and the average rates paid on deposits held by us for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

	Nine Months Ended September 30,

Core deposits, which exclude time deposits of $100,000 or more, provide a relatively stable funding source for our loan portfolio and other earning assets. Our core deposits were $310,380,902 and $297,769,985 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. This equates to an increase of $12,610,917, or 4.24%, which is the result of our continued focus to replace wholesale deposits and other borrowings with core deposits.

-36-

Included in time deposits of $100,000 and over, at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are brokered time deposits of $90,860,000 and $111,929,000, respectively, equating to a decrease of $21,069,000 over the first nine months of 2011. In accordance with our asset/liability management strategy, we do not intend to renew or replace the outstanding brokered deposits at September 30, 2011 when they mature.

Deposits, and particularly core deposits, have been our primary source of funding and have enabled us to meet successfully both our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We anticipate that such deposits will continue to be our primary source of funding in the future. Our loan-to-deposit ratio was 74.68% and 77.83% on September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The maturity distribution of our time deposits of $100,000 or more at September 30, 2011, is set forth in the following table:

	September 30,
	2011
Three months or less	$	4,252,239
Over three through twelve months		43,540,518
Over one year through three years		66,837,124
Over three years		9,354,050
Total	$	123,983,931

Approximately 38.55% of our time deposits of $100,000 or more had scheduled maturities within one year. Large certificate of deposit customers tend to be extremely sensitive to interest rate levels, making these deposits less reliable sources of funding for liquidity planning purposes than core deposits. We expect most certificates of deposits with maturities less than one year to be renewed upon maturity. However, there is the possibility that some certificates may not be renewed. We believe that, should these certificates of deposit not be renewed, the impact would be minimal on our operations and liquidity due to the availability of other funding sources.

Other Borrowings - Other borrowings at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, consist of the following:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2011		2010
Securities sold under agreement to repurchase	$	-	$	476,522
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank		20,000,000		13,000,000
Junior subordinated debentures		10,310,000		10,310,000

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase mature on a one to seven day basis. These agreements are secured by U.S. government agency securities. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank mature at different periods and are secured by our one to four family residential mortgage loans and our investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank stock. The new advances of $7,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank were used to repay brokered deposits that matured during the first nine months of 2011.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $42,540,375 and $48,591,844, respectively. The $6,051,469 decrease during the first nine months of 2011 resulted primarily from the net loss from operations of $8,230,112 and the payment of preferred stock dividends of $747,743 over the first nine months of 2011. These decreases were partially offset by the net increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $2,775,174.

The following table shows the return on average assets (net income divided by average total assets), return on average equity (net income divided by average equity), and equity to assets ratio (average equity divided by average total assets) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. While we have not paid a cash dividend on our common stock since our inception, the Company has declared and paid dividends on its outstanding shares of preferred stock, and made quarterly interest payments on its trust-preferred securities as agreed. Under the terms of the Company MOU, the terms of which are more fully described as part of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Regulatory Matters”, the Company must request prior approval from the Federal Reserve prior to declaring or paying dividends on our common stock or preferred stock, or making scheduled interest payments on our trust-preferred securities. Such approval was not granted by the Federal Reserve for payment of the Company’s dividends and interest payments due and payable in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company’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 Company’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Currently, the Bank MOU requires that the Bank maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8%, and our other regulatory capital ratios at such levels so as to be considered well capitalized for regulatory purposes. We continue to be in full compliance with this requirement of the Bank MOU. Additional discussion of the Bank MOU is included above as part of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Regulatory Matters.”

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company 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 of the Company consists of common shareholders’ equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities available-for-sale, minus certain intangible assets. The Company’s 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 4% for Tier 1 capital and 8% for total risk-based capital; under the provisions of the Memorandum the Bank will be required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 10%.

The Company and the Bank are also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the leverage ratio. 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 sets forth the holding company's and the bank's various capital ratios at September 30, 2011 and at December 31, 2010. For both periods, the bank was considered "well capitalized" and the holding company met or exceeded its applicable regulatory capital requirements.

	September 30, 2011						December 31, 2010
	Holding						Holding
	Company			Bank			Company			Bank
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)		13.22	%		12.05	%		13.34	%		11.87	%
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)		14.48	%		13.31	%		14.59	%		13.13	%
Leverage or Tier 1 capital (to total average assets)		9.79	%		8.92	%		9.99	%		8.94	%

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices

The effect of relative purchasing power over time due to inflation has not been taken into account in our consolidated financial statements. Rather, our financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Unlike most industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. Therefore, the effect of changes in interest rates will have a more significant impact on our performance than will the effect of changing prices and inflation in general. In addition, interest rates may generally increase as the rate of inflation increases, although not necessarily in the same magnitude. As discussed previously, we seek to manage the relationships between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Through our operations, we have made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of our business activities. These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to our customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. At September 30, 2011 we had issued commitments to extend credit of $32.5 million and standby letters of credit of $2.0 million through various types of commercial lending arrangements. Approximately $29.0 million 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 September 30, 2011:

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates and principally arises from interest rate risk inherent in our lending, investing, deposit gathering, and borrowing activities. Other types of market risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not generally arise in the normal course of our business. Our finance committee monitors and considers methods of managing exposure to interest rate risk. We have both an internal finance committee, consisting of senior management and directors, that meets at various times during each quarter and a management finance committee that meets weekly as needed. The finance committees are responsible for maintaining the level of interest rate sensitivity of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities within board-approved limits.

We actively monitor and manage our interest rate risk exposure principally by measuring our interest sensitivity "gap," which is the positive or negative dollar difference between assets and liabilities that are subject to interest rate repricing within a given period of time. Interest rate sensitivity can be managed by repricing assets or liabilities, selling securities available for sale, replacing an asset or liability at maturity, or adjusting the interest rate during the life of an asset or liability. Managing the amount of assets and liabilities repricing in this same time interval helps to hedge the risk and minimize the impact on net interest income of rising or falling interest rates. We generally would benefit from increasing market rates of interest when we have an asset-sensitive gap position and generally would benefit from decreasing market rates of interest when we are liability-sensitive.

We were liability sensitive during the year ended December 31, 2010 and during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, we expect to be liability sensitive for the next nine months because a majority of our deposits reprice over a 12-month period. Approximately 44% of our loans were variable rate loans at September 30, 2011. The ratio of cumulative gap to total earning assets after 12 months was (16.16%) because $49.8 million more liabilities will reprice in a 12 month period than assets. However, our gap analysis is not a precise indicator of our interest sensitivity position. The analysis presents only a static view of the timing of maturities and repricing opportunities, without taking into consideration that changes in interest rates do not affect all assets and liabilities equally. For example, rates paid on a substantial portion of core deposits may change contractually within a relatively short time frame, but those rates are viewed by us as significantly less interest-sensitive than market-based rates such as those paid on noncore deposits. Net interest income may be affected by other significant factors in a given interest rate environment, including changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

Liquidity represents the ability of a company to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss, and the ability to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Liquidity management involves monitoring our sources and uses of funds in order to meet our day-to-day cash flow requirements while maximizing profits. Liquidity management is made more complicated because different balance sheet components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of securities in our investment portfolio is fairly predictable and is subject to a high degree of control at the time investment decisions are made. However, net deposit inflows and outflows are far less predictable and are not subject to the same degree of control.

At September 30, 2011, our liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents amounted to $37.8 million, or 7.40% of total assets. Our investment securities, excluding nonmarketable securities, at September 30, 2011 amounted to $88.3 million, or 17.29% of total assets. Investment securities traditionally provide a secondary source of liquidity since they can be converted into cash in a timely manner. However, $16.7 million of these securities were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and borrowings as of September 30, 2011. At December 31, 2010, our liquid assets, consisting of cash and cash equivalents amounted to $25.7 million, or 4.84% of total assets. Our investment securities, excluding nonmarketable securities, at December 31, 2010 amounted to $84.5 million, or 15.94% of total assets. Investment securities traditionally provide a secondary source of liquidity since they can be converted into cash in a timely manner. However, $84.4 million of these securities were pledged as collateral to secure public deposits and borrowings as of December 31, 2010.

-39-

Our ability to maintain and expand our deposit base and borrowing capabilities serves as our primary source of liquidity. For the near future, it is our intention to reduce the use of wholesale funding to fund loan demand. We plan to meet our future cash needs through the liquidation of temporary investments, the generation of deposits, and from additional borrowings. In addition, we will receive cash upon the maturity and sale of loans and the maturity of investment securities. At September 30, 2011, we had a federal funds purchase line of credit with a correspondent bank giving us credit availability totaling $5.0 million for which there were no outstanding borrowings. In addition, at September 30, 2011, we had sufficient unpledged securities that would have allowed us to borrow up to $83.1 million from the Federal Reserve Bank. Also, we are a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, (the “FHLB”) from which applications for borrowings can be made for leverage purposes. The FHLB requires that securities, qualifying mortgage loans, and stock of the FHLB owned by the bank be pledged to secure any advances from the FHLB. We have an available line to borrow funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank up to 30% of the Bank’s total assets, which provide additional available funds of $133.5 million at September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011 the bank had $20.0 million outstanding in FHLB advances. We believe that the sources described above will be sufficient to meet our future liquidity needs.

The Company is largely dependent upon dividends from the Bank as a source of cash. The Bank MOU restricts the ability of the Bank to declare and pay dividends to the Company. The Company MOU requires the Company to obtain approval of the Federal Reserve Bank prior to declaring dividends. The Federal Reserve did not approve the Company’s request to pay dividends and interest payments relating to its outstanding classes of preferred stock and trust preferred securities due and payable in the fourth quarter of 2011. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Regulatory Matters” for additional information relating to the Company MOU.

Asset/liability management is the process by which we monitor and control the mix and maturities of our assets and liabilities. The essential purposes of asset/liability management are to ensure adequate liquidity and to maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to minimize potentially adverse impacts on earnings from changes in market interest rates. We have both an internal finance committee consisting of senior management that meets at various times during each quarter and a management finance committee that meets weekly as needed. The finance committees are responsible for maintaining the level of interest rate sensitivity of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities within board-approved limits.

Interest Sensitivity Analysis

The following table sets forth information regarding our rate sensitivity as of September 30, 2011, for each of the time intervals indicated. The information in the table may not be indicative of our rate sensitivity position at other points in time. In addition, the maturity distribution indicated in the table may differ from the contractual maturities of the earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities presented due to consideration of prepayment speeds under various interest rate change scenarios in the application of the interest rate sensitivity methods described above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

See "Market Risk" and "Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity" in Item 2, Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”). Disclosure Controls, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based upon their controls evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our Disclosure Controls are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our second fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
