incorporation and as early as December 3, 1996, the date of inception.

         The Company authorized the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of common
stock, $.01 par value per share. In addition to the above common stock, the
Company also has the authority, exercisable by its Board of Directors, to issue
up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share.

         The Company filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to sell a maximum of 1,200,000 shares of its common stock at
$10 per share, through a public offering. The Company completed the offering on
September 30, 1997, after selling 993,162 shares and raising $9,931,620. The
Company used $6,000,000 of the net proceeds of the offering to capitalize its
state banking subsidiary, People's Community Bank of South Carolina (the
"Bank"). The Company will retain the balance of the proceeds and intends
initially to invest it in United States government securities or as a deposit
with the Bank. In the long-term, the Company will use these sums for working
capital and other general corporate purposes, including payments of expenses of
the Company and the provision of additional capital for the Bank, if necessary.
The Bank opened for business on September 22, 1997.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration Number 333-25179)
as filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         Until the Bank opened for business on September 22, 1997, the Company
was accounted for as a development stage enterprise as defined by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, "Accounting and Reporting by Development
Stage Enterprises," as the Company devoted substantially all its efforts to
establishing a new business. When the Bank opened on September 22, 1997, certain
reclassifications and adjustments were made to the financial statements and
balance sheet to reflect that the Company is now accounted for as an operating
company.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.


         The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ
materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and the
Company's operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and
uncertainties that are discussed in detail in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including the "Risk Factors" section in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration Number 333-25179) as
filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The Company was organized on February 26, 1997. Since February 26, 1997
the Company's principal activities have related to its organization, the
conducting of its initial public offering, the pursuit of approvals from the
South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions (the "South Carolina Bank
Board") for its application to charter its subsidiary bank, People's Community
Bank of South Carolina (the "Bank"), and the pursuit of approvals from the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") for its application for
insurance of the deposits of the Bank. The Company completed the offering on
September 30, 1997, after selling 993,162 shares and raising $9,931,620. The
Bank opened for business on September 22, 1997.

         At September 30, 1997, the Company had total assets of $12,519,801,
consisting principally of federal funds sold of $8,170,000, investments of
$1,620,000, property, at cost less accumulated depreciation of $1,578,859, and
cash of $772,983. The organizational costs related to the organization of the
Company and the Bank have been capitalized and will be amortized over five
years.

         The Company's liabilities at September 30, 1997, were $2,922,447,
consisting of deposits, accrued expenses and other liabilities. The Company had
shareholders' equity of $9,597,354 at September 30, 1997.

         The Company had a net loss of $147,911 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997. These losses resulted primarily from expenses incurred in
connection with activities related to the organization of the Company and the
Bank. These activities included (without limitation) the preparation and filing
of an application with the South Carolina Bank Board to charter the Bank, the
preparation and filing of an application with the FDIC to obtain insurance of
the deposits of the Bank, responding to questions and providing additional
information to the South Carolina Bank Board and the FDIC in connection with the
application process, the selling of the Company's common stock in the offering,
meetings and discussions among various Organizers regarding application
information, target markets, and capitalization issues, and planning and
organizing for the opening of the Bank. Because the Bank did not open until
September 22, 1997, it has had minimal operations from which to generate
revenues.

         The Bank generated in excess of $2.5 million in deposits between its
opening date and September 30, 1997 and has placed the bulk ($8.2 million) of
the funds it raised in the stock offering in federal funds sold until the Bank
begins to generate loans. Since principal banking operations only commenced on
September 22, 1997, a more detailed discussion of the Bank's results of
operations is not meaningful.
