General

Atlantic Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in South Carolina in June 2005 for purposes of operating as a bank holding company. Our wholly-owned subsidiary,
Atlantic Community Bank (the Bank), commenced business on January 26, 2006, and is primarily engaged in the business of accepting savings, demand, and time deposits and providing mortgage, consumer and commercial loans to the
general public.

Location and Service Area

Our main branch is located at One Sheridan Park Circle, Bluffton, South Carolina 29910 and is 5,905 square feet. The main branch facility is leased from Paradigm Holdings, LLC. The
lease term is through December 2023 and provides two five-year renewal terms. We consolidated and relocated our original main branch, located at 1 Sherington Drive, Suite J (Sheridan Park), Bluffton, South Carolina 29910, and our original operations
department, located at 70 Pennington Drive, Suite 21 (Sheridan Park), Bluffton, South Carolina 29910, to a renovated new main branch facility in the same commercial subdivision in July 2008.

The original main branch location was formerly subleased through Regional Bancshares, Inc. until January 24, 2006 when
we entered into a new lease with Carolina Partners, LLC. The facility is 2,190 square feet and is leased until October 2010 with a three-year option to renew. We do not plan to exercise this renewal option.

The lease for the original operations department expired on July 31, 2008.

Our loan production office located at 1 Corpus Christi Place, Suite 108,
Hilton Head Island, South Carolina 29928 was converted into a full service branch in October 2007. The 1,837 square feet facility housing this branch is leased from MB Partners, LLC, a separate company whose ownership, in part, includes the eight
directors of Atlantic Bancshares, Inc.

We had originally planned to open an additional branch office within
our first five years of operation. As a result of the general economic climate and the current banking environment, we have delayed our plans at this time.

Our primary service area consists of southern Beaufort County and a portion of Jasper County. The area is generally defined by the Broad River and Interstate 95 to the North, the
State of Georgia to the South, the Atlantic Ocean and Broad River to the East, and Interstate 95 to the West. Additional communities falling within our market area include Hilton Head Island, Palmetto Bluff, Pritchardville, Sun City, Okatie,
Hardeeville and Ridgeland. Our primary service areas economic strength comes from the industries of tourism, real estate development, education, government and services. The commercial sector of the economy is oriented towards real estate
development.

Marketing Focus

Historically, the banks in Beaufort County were local branches of large regional banks. Recently there has been, and there may continue to be, an influx of community banks within our primary service area.
The mix of incoming banks includes de novo banks and established operations, both headquartered in-market as well as out-of-market. Size continues to provide the larger banks certain advantages in competing for business from large corporations,
including higher lending limits and the ability to offer services in Beaufort County and in other areas of South Carolina.

We have created a niche in the community banking market in our primary service area via our staffing, advertising and approach to service. Generally, we do not attempt to compete for the banking
relationships of large corporations but instead concentrate our efforts on small to medium-sized businesses, entrepreneurs and professional concerns. The Bank advertises to emphasize the Companys brand image, local ownership, community bank
nature, and ability to provide more personalized services than its competition.

Lending Activities

General. We offer a range of lending services, including real estate, commercial, and equity-line and consumer loans
to individuals, small- to medium-sized businesses, and professional concerns that are located in or conduct a substantial portion of their business in the Banks primary service area. We compete for these loans with competitors who are well
established in our service area and have greater resources and lending limits and also de novo banking organizations new to our market. As a result, we have charged, from time to time, lower interest rates to attract borrowers and may continue to do
so.

The well established banks in our service area will make proportionately more loans to
medium-to-large-sized businesses than we do. Many of the Banks commercial loans are made to small-to-medium-sized businesses which may be less able to withstand competitive, economic, and financial conditions than larger borrowers.

Loan Approval and Review. The Banks loan approval policies provide for various levels of officer lending
authority. When the amount of aggregate loans to a single borrower exceeds that individual officers lending authority, the loan request is considered by an officer with a higher lending limit or by the board of directors loan committee.
The Bank does not make any loans to any director of the Bank unless the loan is approved by the board of directors of the Bank and is made on terms not more favorable to the borrower than would be available to a borrower not affiliated with the
Bank. The Bank adheres to Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation guidelines in its mortgage loan review process, but may choose to alter this policy in the future. The Bank sells residential mortgage loans
that it originates on the secondary market.

Loan Distribution. The distribution of our loans as of
December 31, 2009 is as follows:



|                                                                |  |     
|--------------------------------------------------------------- |  | ----
|Real Estate-Mortgage                                            |  | 68% 
|Real Estate-Construction, land development and other land loans |  | 25% 
|Commercial and industrial                                       |  | 6%  
|Consumer loans                                                  |  | 1%  
|                                                                | 
|Total                                                           |  | 100%
|                                                                |  |     

Our loan distribution going forward will depend on our
customers requirements and other factors and will likely vary over time. Please see our Managements Discussion and Analysis  Earning Assets for further information on our loan portfolio.

Allowance for Loan Losses. We maintain an allowance for loan losses, which we establish through a provision for loan
losses charged against income. We charge loans against this allowance when we believe that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. The allowance is an estimated amount that we believe will be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan
portfolio based on evaluations of its collectability. At December 31, 2009, our allowance for loan losses equaled approximately 1.18% of the outstanding balance of our loans. Over time, we periodically determine the amount of the allowance
based on our consideration of several factors, including:



| |  |  | an ongoing review of the quality, mix, and size of our overall loan portfolio;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | our historical loan loss experience;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------

| |  |  | evaluation of economic conditions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------

| |  |  | specific problem loans and commitments that may affect the borrowers ability to pay;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | regular reviews of loan delinquencies and loan portfolio quality by our internal auditors and our bank regulators; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the amount and quality of collateral, including guarantees, securing the loans.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lending Limits. The Banks lending activities are subject to a variety of lending limits imposed by state law.
In general, the Bank is subject to a legal limit on loans to a single borrower equal to 15% of the Banks unimpaired capital and surplus. Different limits may apply based on the type of loan or the nature of the borrower, including the
borrowers relationship to the Bank. These limits will increase or decrease as the Banks capital increases or decreases. Unless the Bank is able to sell participations in its loans to other financial institutions, the Bank is not able to
meet all of the lending needs of loan customers requiring aggregate extensions of credit above these limits.

Credit Risk. The principal credit risk associated with each category of loans is the creditworthiness of the borrower. Borrower creditworthiness is affected by general economic conditions and the strength of the manufacturing,
services, and retail market segments. General economic factors affecting a borrowers ability to repay include interest, inflation, employment rates, and the strength of local and national economy, as well as other factors affecting a
borrowers customers, suppliers, and employees.

Real Estate Loans. Loans secured by first or
second mortgages on real estate make up the most significant portion of the Banks loan portfolio  approximately 93% as of December 31, 2009. These loans generally fall into one of two categories: commercial real estate loans or
construction and development loans. We also make residential real estate loans secured by first or second mortgages on real estate. Each of these categories is discussed in more detail below, including their specific risks. Interest rates for all
categories may be fixed or adjustable, typically fixed for shorter-term loans. The bank generally charges an origination fee for each loan.

Real estate loans are subject to the same general risks as other loans. Real estate loans are also sensitive to fluctuations in the value of the real estate securing the loan. We require a valid mortgage
lien on all real property loans along with a title lien policy which insures the validity and priority of the lien. We also require borrowers to obtain hazard insurance policies and flood insurance, if applicable. Additionally, certain types of real
estate loans have specific risk characteristics that vary according to the collateral type securing the loan and the terms and repayment sources for the loan.

---

We have the ability to originate some real estate loans for sale into the
secondary market. We can limit our interest rate and credit risk on these loans by locking the interest rate for each loan with the secondary investor and receiving the investors underwriting approval prior to originating the loan.



| |  |  | Commercial Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans generally have terms of five years or less, although payments may be structured on
a longer amortization basis. Inherent in commercial real estate loans credit risk is the risk that the primary source of repayment, the operating commercial real estate company, will be insufficient to service the debt. If a real estate loan
is in default, we also run the risk that the value of a commercial real estate loans secured real estate will decrease, and thereby be insufficient to satisfy the loan. To mitigate these risks, we evaluate each borrower on an individual basis
and attempt to determine its business risks and credit profile. We attempt to reduce credit risk in the commercial real estate portfolio by emphasizing loans on owner-occupied office and retail buildings where the loan-to-value ratio is established
by independent appraisals. We typically review the personal financial statements of the principal owners and require their personal guarantees. These reviews often reveal secondary sources of payment and liquidity to support a loan request.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Construction and Development Real Estate Loans.We offer adjustable and fixed rate residential and commercial construction loans to builders
and developers and to consumers who wish to build their own home. The term of construction and development loans generally is limited to 18 months, although payments may be structured on a longer amortization basis. Most loans will mature and
require payment in full upon the sale of the property. Construction and development loans generally carry a higher degree of risk than long term financing of existing properties. Repayment usually depends on the ultimate completion of the project
within cost estimates and on the sale of the property. Specific risks include:
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cost overruns;
| | - |  | --------------

| |  |  | mismanaged construction;
| | - |  | ------------------------

| |  |  | inferior or improper construction techniques;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------

| |  |  | economic changes or downturns during construction;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | a downturn in the real estate market;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------

| |  |  | rising interest rates which may prevent sale of the property; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | failure to sell completed projects in a timely manner.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

We attempt to reduce risk by obtaining personal guarantees where possible, and by keeping the loan-to-value ratio of the completed project below specified percentages. We also reduce
risk by selling participations in larger loans to other institutions when possible.



| |  |  | Residential Real Estate Loans. These loans generally have longer terms, up to 30 years. We offer fixed and adjustable rate mortgages, and we
sell most or all of the residential real estate loans that we generate in the secondary market soon after we originate them. At this time, we do not intend to retain servicing rights for these loans. Inherent in residential real estate loans
credit risk is the risk that the primary source of repayment, the residential borrower, will be insufficient to service the debt. If a real estate loan is in default, we also run the risk that the value of a residential real estate loans
secured real estate will decrease, and thereby be insufficient to satisfy the loan. To mitigate these risks, we evaluate each borrower on an individual basis and attempt to determine its credit profile. By selling these loans in the secondary
market, we believe we significantly reduce our exposure to credit risk because the loans will be underwritten through a third party agent without any recourse against the Bank.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Commercial Loans. The bank makes loans for commercial purposes in various lines of businesses. We focus our efforts on commercial loans of
$1,000,000 or less. Equipment loans are typically made for a term of five years or less at fixed or variable rates, with the loan fully amortized over the term and secured by the financed equipment. Working capital loans typically have terms not
exceeding one year and are usually secured by accounts receivable, inventory, or personal guarantees of the principals of the business. For loans secured by accounts receivable or inventory, principal will typically be repaid as the assets securing
the loan are converted into cash, and in other cases principal will typically be due at maturity. We issue trade letters of credit, standby letters of credit, and foreign exchange directly and, in some cases, through a correspondent bank as agent
for the Bank. Commercial loans primarily have risk
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | that the primary source of repayment, the borrowing business, will be insufficient to service the debt. Often this occurs as the result of changes in local economic conditions or in the industry
in which the borrower operates which impact cash flow or collateral value.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have access
to small business loans utilizing government enhancements such as the Small Business Administrations 7(a) program and SBAs 504 and LowDoc programs. Typically, these loans are partially guaranteed by the government which may
help to reduce the Banks risk. Government guarantees of SBA loans will not exceed 80% of the loan value, and will generally be less.

Banking Services

We offer a full range of deposit services that are typically available in
most banks and savings and loan associations including: checking accounts, NOW accounts, commercial accounts, savings accounts, and other time deposits of various types, ranging from daily money market accounts to longer-term certificates of
deposit. The transaction accounts and time certificates are tailored to our principal market area at rates competitive to those offered in the Beaufort and Jasper County area. In addition, we offer certain retirement account services, including
IRAs. We solicit these accounts from individuals, businesses, and other organizations.

Other Banking Services

We offer cashiers checks, banking by mail, direct deposit of payroll and social security checks, United States Savings
Bonds, and travelers checks. We are associated with the Honor, Star, Presto, and Cirrus ATM networks that may be used by the Banks customers throughout the country. We believe that by being associated with a shared network of ATMs, we are
better able to serve our customers and will be able to attract customers who are accustomed to the convenience of using ATMs.We also offer a debit card and credit card services through a correspondent bank as an agent for the Bank. We offer
on-line banking, lines of credit, and telephone banking. And, we provide deposit courier service for customers who fall within our primary service area. Currently, the Bank does not exercise trust powers and does not have any plans to do so in the
near future.

We offer products and services via the traditional means of brick and mortar, phone banking, ATM
network and Internet banking.

Competition

The banking business is highly competitive. We compete as a financial intermediary with other commercial banks, community banks, savings banks, credit unions, finance companies, and
money market mutual funds operating in the Bluffton area and surrounding communities. Some of these competitors have been in business for a long time and have already established their customer base and name recognition. Many competitors are larger
than we are and have greater financial and personnel resources than we currently have. Some competitors are large super-regional and regional banks, like Wachovia Bank, Bank of America, and SunTrust Bank, and others are more established community
banks, like CoastalStates Bank, Liberty Savings Bank FSB, First Federal S&L of Charleston, Beach First National Bank, Tidelands Bank, Bank Meridian, Ameris Bank, Woodlands Bank, First South Bank, Palmetto State Bank and Lowcountry National Bank.
Many of these institutions offer services, including extensive and established branch networks and trust services that we either do not expect to provide or will not provide for some time. Due to this competition, we may pay higher rates of interest
to attract deposits from time to time. In addition, competitors that are not depository institutions are generally not subject to the extensive regulations that apply to our bank. Most of these institutions have substantially greater resources and
lending limits than we have. Nevertheless, we believe that our management team, our focus on relationship banking, our successful brand advertising campaign, and the economic and demographic dynamics of our service area has allowed us to gain a
meaningful share of the areas deposits in a relatively short period of time.

Employees

As of March 1, 2010, we had 19 full-time employees and three part-time employees.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

We are subject to extensive state and federal banking regulations that impose restrictions on and provide for general regulatory oversight of our operations. These laws generally are
intended to protect depositors and not shareholders. Legislation and regulations authorized by legislation influence, among other things:



| |  |  | how, when and where we may expand geographically;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | into what product or service market we may enter;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | how we must manage our assets; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------

| |  |  | under what circumstances money may or must flow between the parent bank holding company and the subsidiary bank.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Set forth below is an explanation of the major pieces of legislation affecting our industry and how that legislation affects
our actions. The following summary is qualified by reference to the statutory and regulatory provisions discussed. Changes in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on our business and prospects, and legislative changes and the
policies of various regulatory authorities may significantly affect our operations. We cannot predict the effect that fiscal or monetary policies, or new federal or state legislation may have on our business and earnings in the future.

Atlantic Bancshares, Inc.

Because we own all of the capital stock of the Bank, we are a bank holding company under the federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the Bank Holding Company Act). As a result,
we are primarily subject to the supervision, examination and reporting requirements of the Bank Holding Company Act and the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve). As a bank holding
company located in South Carolina, the South Carolina Board of Financial Institutions (the SCBFI) also regulates and monitors all significant aspects of our operations.

Acquisitions of Banks. The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior
approval of the Federal Reserve before:



| |  |  | acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if, after the acquisition, the bank holding company will directly
or indirectly own or control more than 5% of the banks voting shares;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of any bank; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | merging or consolidating with any other bank holding company.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------

Additionally, the Bank Holding Company Act provides that the Federal Reserve may not approve any of these transactions if it
would result in or tend to create a monopoly, substantially lessen competition or otherwise function as a restraint of trade, unless the anticompetitive effects of the proposed transaction are clearly outweighed by the public interest in meeting the
convenience and needs of the community to be served. The Federal Reserve is also required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding companies and banks concerned and the convenience and needs of the
community to be served. The Federal Reserve consideration of financial resources generally focuses on capital adequacy, which is discussed below.

Under the Bank Holding Company Act, if we are adequately capitalized and adequately managed, we or any other bank holding company located in South Carolina may purchase a bank located outside of South
Carolina. Conversely, an adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank holding company located outside of South Carolina may purchase a bank located inside of South Carolina. In each case, however, restrictions may be placed on the acquisition
of a bank that has only been in existence for a limited amount of time or will result in specified concentrations of deposits. Currently, South Carolina law prohibits acquisitions of banks that have been chartered for less than five years. Because
the Bank has been chartered for less than five years, this restriction limits our ability to sell.

Change in Bank Control. Subject to various exceptions, the Bank Holding Company Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with related regulations, require Federal Reserve approval prior to any person or company
acquiring control of the bank holding company. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or



7



---

company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control is also rebuttably presumed to exist if a person or company acquires 10% or more, but less than
25%, of any class of voting securities and either:



| |  |  | the bank holding company has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1934; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | no other person owns a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the transaction.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The regulations provide a procedure for challenging rebuttable presumptions of control.

Permitted Activities. The Bank Holding Company Act has generally prohibited a bank holding company from
engaging in activities other than banking or managing or controlling banks or other permissible subsidiaries and from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect control of any company engaged in any activities other than those determined by the
Federal Reserve to be closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act have expanded the permissible activities of a bank holding company that qualifies as a
financial holding company. Under the regulations implementing the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, a financial holding company may engage in additional activities that are financial in nature or incidental or complementary to financial activity. Those
activities include, among other activities, certain insurance and securities activities.

To qualify to become
a financial holding company, the Bank and any other depository institution subsidiary of the Company must be well capitalized and well managed and must have a Community Reinvestment Act rating of at least satisfactory. Additionally, the
Company must file an election with the Federal Reserve to become a financial holding company and must provide the Federal Reserve with 30 days written notice prior to engaging in a permitted financial activity. We have not sought financial
holding company status, but may elect such status in the future as our business matures.

Support of
Subsidiary Institutions. Under Federal Reserve policy, we are expected to act as a source of financial strength and commit resources to support the Bank. This support may be required at times when, without this Federal Reserve policy, we
might not be inclined to provide it. In addition, any capital loans made by us to Bank will be repaid only after its deposits and various other obligations are repaid in full. In the event of our bankruptcy, any commitment we would give to a federal
banking regulator to maintain the capital of the Bank would be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

Atlantic Community Bank

Because the Bank is a commercial bank chartered under the laws of the
State of South Carolina, we are primarily subject to the supervision, examination and reporting requirements of the FDIC and the SCBFI. The FDIC and the SCBFI regularly examine the Banks operations and have the authority to approve or
disapprove mergers, the establishment of branches and similar corporate actions. Both regulatory agencies have the power to prevent the continuance or development of unsafe or unsound banking practices or other violations of law. Additionally, our
deposits are insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent provided by law. We are also subject to numerous state and federal statutes and regulations that affect our business, activities and operations.

Branching. Under current South Carolina law, we may open branch offices throughout South Carolina with the
prior approval of the SCBFI. In addition, with prior regulatory approval, we may acquire branches of existing banks located in South Carolina. The Bank and any other national or state-chartered bank generally may branch across state lines only if
allowed by the applicable states laws. South Carolina law, with limited exceptions, currently permits branching across state lines only through interstate mergers.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, states may opt-in and allow out-of-state banks to branch into their state by establishing a new start-up branch in the state.
Currently, South Carolina has not opted-in to this provision. Therefore, interstate merger is the only method through which a bank located outside of South Carolina may branch into South Carolina. This provides a limited barrier of entry into the
South Carolina banking market, which protects us from an important segment of potential competition. However, because South Carolina has elected not to opt-in, our ability to establish a new start-up branch in another state may be limited. Many
states that have elected to opt-in have done so on a reciprocal basis, meaning that an out-of-state bank may establish a new start-up



8



---

branch only if their home state has also elected to opt-in. Consequently, until South Carolina changes its election, the only way we will be able to branch into states that have elected to opt-in
on a reciprocal basis will be through interstate merger.

Prompt Corrective Action. The Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 establishes a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized financial institutions. Under this system, the federal banking regulators have established five
capital categories in which all institutions are placed: Well Capitalized, Adequately Capitalized, Undercapitalized, Significantly Undercapitalized and Critically Undercapitalized.

As a banks capital condition deteriorates, federal banking regulators are required to take various mandatory
supervisory actions and are authorized to take other discretionary actions with respect to institutions in the three undercapitalized categories. The severity of the action depends upon the capital category in which the institution is placed. As of
December 31, 2009, the Bank was considered well-capitalized.

A well-capitalized bank is one
that exceeds all of its required capital requirements, which include maintaining a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6% and a tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 5%. Generally, a
classification as well capitalized will place a bank outside of the regulatory zone for purposes of prompt corrective action. However, a well-capitalized bank may be reclassified as adequately capitalized based on criteria other than
capital, if the federal regulator determines that a bank is in an unsafe or unsound condition, or is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or has not adequately corrected a prior deficiency.

An adequately capitalized bank meets the required minimum level for each relevant capital measure, including a
total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4% and a tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4%. A bank that is adequately capitalized is prohibited from directly or indirectly accepting, renewing or
rolling over any brokered deposits, absent applying for and receiving a waiver from the FDIC. Institutions that are not well-capitalized are also prohibited, except in very limited circumstances where the FDIC permits use of a higher local market
rate, from paying yields for deposits in excess of 75 basis points above a national average rate for deposits of comparable maturity, as calculated by the FDIC. In addition, an adequately capitalized bank may be forced to comply with certain
operating restrictions similar to those placed on undercapitalized banks.

An undercapitalized
bank fails to meet the required minimum level for any relevant capital measure. A bank that reaches the undercapitalized level is likely subject to a consent order and other formal supervisory sanctions. An undercapitalized bank must submit a
capital restoration plan to regulatory authorities; be closely monitored by regulatory authorities regarding its capital restoration plan, financial condition and operational restrictions; restrict asset growth in accordance with an approved capital
restoration plan; and obtain prior regulatory approval for acquisitions, branching and new lines of business. In addition, an undercapitalized bank becomes subject to additional discretionary safeguards that may be imposed by its regulatory
authorities, which may:



| |  |  | prohibit capital distributions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------

| |  |  | prohibit payment of management fees to a controlling person;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | require a capital restoration plan within 45 days of becoming undercapitalized;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | restrict or prohibit asset growth, or require a bank to shrink;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | require prior approval by the primary federal regulator for acquisitions, branching and new lines of business;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | require sale of securities, or, if grounds for conservatorship or receivership exist, direct the bank to merge or be acquired;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | restrict affiliate transactions;
| | - |  | --------------------------------

| |  |  | restrict or prohibit all activities that are determined to pose an excessive risk to the bank;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | require the institution to elect new directors, dismiss directors or senior executive officer or employ qualified senior executive officers to
improve management;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | prohibit the acceptance of deposits from correspondent banks;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | require prior approval of capital distributions by holding companies;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | require holding company divestiture of the bank, bank divestiture of subsidiaries, and/or holding company divestiture of other affiliates;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | require the bank to take any other action the federal regulator determines will better achieve prompt corrective action objectives;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



9



---

| |  |  | prohibit material transactions outside the usual course of business;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | prohibit amending the bylaws/charter of the bank;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | prohibit any material changes in accounting methods; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | prohibit golden parachute payments, excessive compensation and bonuses.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

A significantly undercapitalized bank, in addition to being subject to the restrictions applicable to
undercapitalized institutions, is subject to additional restrictions on the compensation it is able to pay to its senior executive officers.

A critically undercapitalized bank, in addition to being subject to the restrictions applicable to undercapitalized and significantly institutions, is further prohibited from doing any of the
following without the prior written approval of the FDIC:



| |  |  | entering into any material transaction other than in the ordinary course of business;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | extending credit for any highly leveraged transaction;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | amending the institutions charter or bylaws, except to the extent necessary to carry out any other requirement of any law, regulation or
order;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | making any material change in accounting methods;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | engaging in certain types of transactions with affiliates;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | paying excessive compensation or bonuses;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------

| |  |  | paying interest on new or renewed liabilities at a rate that would increase the institutions weighted average cost of funds to a level
significantly exceeding the prevailing rates of its competitors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | making any principal or interest payment on subordinated debt 60 days or more after becoming critically undercapitalized;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the FDIC may impose additional restrictions on critically undercapitalized
institutions consistent with the intent of the prompt corrective action regulations. Once an institution has become critically undercapitalized, the FDIC will, subject to certain narrow exceptions such as a material capital remediation, initiate the
resolution of the institution.

FDIC Insurance Assessments.The Banks deposits are insured
by the Deposit Insurance Fund (the DIF) of the FDIC up to the amount permitted by law. The Bank is thus subject to FDIC deposit insurance premium assessments. The FDIC uses a risk-based assessment system that assigns insured depository
institutions to one of four risk categories based on three primary sources of information  supervisory risk ratings for all institutions, financial ratios for most institutions, and long-term debt issuer ratings for large institutions
that have such ratings. In February 2009, the FDIC issued new risk based assessment rates that took effect April 1, 2009. For insured depository institutions in the lowest risk category, the annual assessment rate ranges from 7 to 77.5 cents
for every $100 of domestic deposits. For institutions assigned to higher risk categories, the new assessment rates range from 17 to 43 cents per $100 of domestic deposits. These ranges reflect a possible downward adjustment for unsecured debt
outstanding and possible upward adjustments for secured liabilities and, in the case of institutions outside the lowest risk category, brokered deposits.

The FDICs assessment rates are intended to result in a reserve ratio of at least 1.15%. As of December 31, 2008, the ratio had fallen well below this floor. The FDIC is required to return the
DIF to its statutorily mandated minimum reserve ratio of 1.15 percent within eight years, and has undertaken several initiatives to satisfy this requirement.

On September 30, 2009, the FDIC collected a one-time special assessment of five basis points of an institutions assets minus tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009.
The amount of the special assessment could not exceed ten basis points times the institutions assessment base for the second quarter 2009. In addition, on November 12, 2009, the FDIC adopted a rule that required nearly all FDIC-insured
depository institutions to prepay their DIF assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for the next three years. The FDIC has indicated that the prepayment of DIF assessments will be in lieu of additional special assessments, although there can
be no guarantee that continued pressures on the DIF will not result in additional special assessments being collected by the FDIC in the future.

The FDIC also collects a deposit-based assessment from insured financial institutions on behalf of The Financing Corporation (FICO). The funds from these assessments are used to service debt
issued by FICO in its



10



---

capacity as a financial vehicle for the Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corporation. The FICO assessment rate is set quarterly and in 2009 ranged from 1.14 cents to 1.02 cents per $100
of assessable deposits. These assessments will continue until the debt matures in 2017 through 2019.

The FDIC
may, without further notice-and-comment rulemaking, adopt rates that are higher or lower than the stated base assessment rates, provided that the FDIC cannot (i) increase or decrease the total rates from one quarter to the next by more than
three basis points, or (ii) deviate by more than three basis points from the stated assessment rates. The FDIC has proposed maintaining current assessment rates through December 31, 2010, followed by a uniform increase in risk-based
assessment rates of three basis points effective January 1, 2011.

The FDIC may terminate its insurance
of deposits if it finds that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, or condition imposed by the FDIC.

FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.On October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced that
its Board of Directors, under the authority to prevent systemic risk in the U.S. banking system, approved the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (TLGP). The purpose of the TLGP is to strengthen confidence and encourage
liquidity in the banking system. The TLGP is composed of two components, the Debt Guarantee Program and the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, and institutions had the opportunity, prior to December 5, 2008, to opt-out of either or both
components of the TLGP.

The Debt Guarantee Program: Under the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program,
the FDIC is permitted to guarantee certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued by participating financial institutions. The annualized fee that the FDIC will assess to guarantee the senior unsecured debt varies by the length of maturity of the
debt. For debt with a maturity of 180 days or less (excluding overnight debt), the fee is 50 basis points; for debt with a maturity between 181 days and 364 days, the fee is 75 basis points, and for debt with a maturity of 365 days or longer, the
fee is 100 basis points. The Bank did not opt-out of the Debt Guarantee component of the TLGP.

The
Transaction Account Guarantee Program: Under the TLGP, the FDIC is permitted to fully insure non-interest bearing deposit accounts held at participating FDIC-insured institutions, regardless of dollar amount. The temporary guarantee was
originally set to expire on June 30, 2009, but was subsequently extended to June 30, 2010. For the eligible noninterest-bearing transaction deposit accounts (including accounts swept from a noninterest bearing transaction account into an
noninterest bearing savings deposit account), increased premiums over standard deposit insurance will be applied to noninterest-bearing transaction deposit amounts over $250,000. Institutions will not be assessed on amounts that are otherwise
insured. The Bank chose not to opt-out of the Transaction Account Guarantee component of the TLGP.

Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions within their respective jurisdictions, the federal banking regulators shall evaluate the
record of each financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local community, including low and moderate-income neighborhoods. These facts are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or
facility. Failure to adequately meet these criteria could impose additional requirements and limitations on the Bank. Additionally, we must publicly disclose the terms of various Community Reinvestment Act-related agreements.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the ALLL) represents
one of the most significant estimates in the Banks financial statements and regulatory reports. Because of its significance, the Bank has developed a system by which it develops, maintains and documents a comprehensive, systematic and
consistently applied process for determining the amounts of the ALLL and the provision for loan and lease losses. The Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses, issued on December 13, 2006, encourages all banks to
ensure controls are in place to consistently determine the ALLL in accordance with GAAP, the Banks stated policies and procedures, managements best judgment and relevant supervisory guidance. Consistent with supervisory guidance, the
Bank maintains a prudent and conservative, but not excessive, ALLL, that is at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the
remainder of the loan and lease portfolio. The Banks estimate of credit losses reflects consideration of all significant factors that affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.

Commercial Real Estate Lending. The Banks lending
operations may be subject to enhanced scrutiny by federal banking regulators based on its concentration of commercial real estate loans. On December 6, 2006, the federal banking regulators issued final guidance to remind financial institutions
of the risk posed by commercial real estate (CRE) lending concentrations. CRE loans generally include land development, construction loans, and loans secured by multifamily property, and nonfarm, nonresidential real property where the
primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property. The guidance prescribes the following guidelines for its examiners to help identify institutions that are potentially exposed to significant CRE risk and may
warrant greater supervisory scrutiny:



| |  |  | total reported loans for construction, land development and other land represent 100% or more of the institutions total capital, or
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | total commercial real estate loans represent 300% or more of the institutions total capital, and the outstanding balance of the
institutions commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased by 50% or more.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Regulations. Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by the Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Our loan operations will be subject to federal laws applicable
to credit transactions, such as the:



| |  |  | Federal Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine
whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, governing the use and provision of information to
credit reporting agencies, certain identity theft protections, and certain credit and other disclosures;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, governing the repayment terms
of, and property rights underlying, secured obligations of persons currently on active duty with the United States military;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Talent Amendment in the 2007 Defense Authorization Act, establishing a 36% annual percentage rate ceiling, which includes a variety of charges
including late fees, for consumer loans to military service members and their dependents; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | rules and regulations of the various federal banking regulators charged with the responsibility of implementing these federal laws.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Banks deposit operations are subject to federal laws applicable to depository accounts, such as the:



| |  |  | Truth-In-Savings Act, requiring certain disclosures of consumer deposit accounts:
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for
complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E issued by the Federal Reserve to implement that act, which govern automatic deposits to and
withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | Rules and regulations of the various federal banking regulators charged with the responsibility of implementing these federal laws.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capital Adequacy

We are required to comply with the capital adequacy standards established by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has established a risk-based and a leverage measure of capital adequacy for member
banks and bank holding companies.



12



---

The risk-based capital standards are designed to make regulatory capital
requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance-sheet exposure, and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance-sheet items, such as
letters of credit and unfunded loan commitments, are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate risk weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance-sheet items.

The minimum guideline for the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets, and classification as
adequately capitalized, is 8%. A bank that fails to meet the required minimum guidelines is classified as undercapitalized and subject to operating and managerial restrictions. A bank, however, that exceeds its capital requirements and maintains a
ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 10% is classified as well capitalized.

Total capital
consists of two components: Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital. Tier 1 Capital generally consists of common shareholders equity, minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, qualifying noncumulative perpetual
preferred stock and a limited amount of qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill and other specified intangible assets. Tier 1 Capital must equal at least 4% of risk-weighted assets. Tier 2 Capital generally consists of
subordinated debt, other preferred stock and hybrid capital, and a limited amount of loan loss reserves. The total amount of Tier 2 Capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 Capital. The Banks ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets and
ratio of Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets were 12.51% and 11.26%, respectively, as of December 31, 2009.

The Federal Reserve has similarly established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to average assets, less goodwill and other specified intangible
assets, of 3% for bank holding companies that meet specified criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating and implementing the Federal Reserve risk-based capital measure for market risk. All other bank holding companies generally are
required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4%. At December 31, 2009, our leverage ratio was 8.23%. The guidelines also provide that bank holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain
strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without reliance on intangible assets. The Federal Reserve considers the leverage ratio and other indicators of capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new
activities.

Failure to meet capital guidelines can subject a bank and a bank holding company to a variety of
enforcement remedies, including issuance of a capital directive, the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, a prohibition on accepting brokered deposits and certain other restrictions on its business. As described above and elsewhere
throughout this report, significant additional restrictions can be imposed on FDIC-insured depository institutions that fail to meet applicable capital requirements. See, Supervision and Regulation  Atlantic Community Bank  Prompt
Corrective Action, above, for a summary of the restrictions to which we would become subject should our capital condition deteriorate significantly.

Payment of Dividends

The Company is a legal entity
separate and distinct from the Bank The principal sources of our cash flow, including cash flow to pay dividends to our shareholders, are dividends that we receive from the Bank. Statutory and regulatory limitations apply to the payment of dividends
by a subsidiary bank to its bank holding company.

A South Carolina state bank may not pay dividends from its
capital. All dividends must be paid out of undivided profits then on hand, after deducting expenses, including reserves for losses and bad debts. The bank is authorized to pay cash dividends up to 100% of net income in any calendar year without
obtaining the prior approval of the SCBFI, provided that the Bank received a composite rating of one or two at the last federal or state regulatory examination. The Bank must obtain approval from the SCBFI prior to the payment of any other cash
dividends. In addition, under the FDIC Improvement Act, the Bank may not pay a dividend if, after paying the dividend, the Bank would be undercapitalized.

If, in the opinion of the federal banking regulator, the Bank was engaged in or about to engage in unsafe or unsound practice, the federal banking regulator could require, after notice and a hearing, that
we stop or refrain from engaging in the practice it considers unsafe or unsound. The federal banking regulators have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institutions capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe
and unsound banking practice. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, a depository



13



---

institution may not pay any dividend if payment would cause it to become undercapitalized or if it already is undercapitalized. Moreover, the federal banking regulators have issued policy
statements that provide that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings.

Any future determination relating to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on many of the statutory and regulatory factors mentioned above.

Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates

The Company and the Bank are subject to the provisions of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. Section 23A places limits on the amount of:



| |  |  | a banks loans or extensions of credit to affiliates;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | a banks investment in affiliates;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------

| |  |  | assets a bank may purchase from affiliates, except for real and personal property exempted by the Federal Reserve;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | loans or extensions of credit to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of affiliates; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | a banks guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit issued on behalf of an affiliate.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The total amount of the above transactions is limited in amount, as to any one affiliate, to 10% of a banks capital
and surplus and, as to all affiliates combined, to 20% of a banks capital and surplus. In addition to the limitation on the amount of these transactions, each of the above transactions must also meet specified collateral requirements. We must
also comply with other provisions designed to avoid the taking of low-quality assets.

We are subject to the
provisions of Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which, among other things, prohibit an institution from engaging in the above transactions with affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at least as
favorable to the institution or its subsidiaries, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies.

We are subject to restrictions on extensions of credit to our executive officers, directors, principal shareholders and their related interests. These extensions of credit (1) must be made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with third parties and (2) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable
features.

Proposed Legislation and Regulatory Action

New regulations and statutes are regularly proposed that contain wide-ranging proposals for altering the structures, regulations and competitive relationships of financial
institutions operating and doing business in the United States. We cannot predict whether or in what form any proposed regulation or statute will be adopted or the extent to which our business may be affected by any new regulation or statute.

Effect of Governmental Monetary Policies

The Banks earnings are affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. The Federal Reserve
Banks monetary policies have had, and are likely to continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks through its power to implement national monetary policy in order, among other things, to curb inflation or
combat a recession. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board affect the levels of bank loans, investments and deposits through its control over the issuance of United States government securities, its regulation of the discount rate
applicable to member banks, and its influence over reserve requirements to which member banks are subject. We cannot predict the nature or impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.

Limitations on Senior Executive Compensation

On October 22, 2009, the Federal Reserve Board issued proposed guidance designed to help ensure that incentive compensation policies at banking organizations do not encourage excessive risk-taking or
undermined the



14



---

safety and soundness of the organization. In connection with the proposed guidance, the Federal Reserve Board announced that it will review incentive compensation arrangements as part of the
regular, risk-focused supervisory process. The Federal Reserve Board may take enforcement action against a banking organization if its incentive compensation arrangement or related risk management, control, or governance processes pose a risk to the
safety and soundness of the organization and the organization is not taking prompt and effective measures to correct the deficiencies.

Due to the Companys participation in the Treasurys Capital Purchase Program under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), it is subject to additional executive compensation
limitations. For example, the Company must meet the following standards:



| |  |  | Ensure that senior executive incentive compensation packages do not encourage excessive risk;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Subject senior executive compensation to clawback if the compensation was based on inaccurate financial information or performance
metrics;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Prohibit any golden parachute payments to senior executive officers; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Agree not to deduct more than $500,000 from the Companys taxable income for a senior executive officers compensation.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed by any of the following risks, or other risks
that have not been identified or which we believe are immaterial or unlikely. Shareholders should carefully consider the risks described below in conjunction with the other information in this Form 10-K and the information incorporated by reference
in this Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes.

The impact of the current
economic environment on performance of other financial institutions in our primary market area, actions taken by our competitors to address the current economic downturn, and public perception of and confidence in the economy generally, and the
banking industry specifically, may present significant challenges for us and could adversely affect our performance.

We are operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment, including generally uncertain national conditions and local conditions in our markets. Financial institutions continue to be affected
by sharp declines in the real estate market and constrained financial markets. While we are taking steps to decrease and limit our exposure to real estate construction loans, we nonetheless retain direct exposure to the real estate markets, and we
are affected by these events. Continued declines in real estate values and financial stress on borrowers as a result of the uncertain economic environment, including job losses, could have an adverse effect on our borrowers or their customers, which
could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The impact of recent events
relating to housing and commercial real estate markets has not been limited to those directly involved in the real estate industry, but rather it has impacted a number of related businesses such as building materials suppliers, equipment leasing
firms, and real estate attorneys, among others. All of these affected businesses have banking relationships and when their businesses suffer from recession, the banking relationship suffers as well.

In addition, the market value of the real estate securing our loans as collateral has been adversely affected by the slowing
economy and unfavorable changes in economic conditions in our market areas and could be further adversely affected in the future. As of December 31, 2009, approximately 93% of our loans receivable were secured by real estate. Any sustained
period of increased payment delinquencies, foreclosures or losses caused by the adverse market and economic conditions, including the downturn in the real estate market, in our markets will continue to adversely affect the value of our assets,
revenues, results of operations and financial condition. Currently, we are experiencing such an economic downturn, and if it continues, our earnings could be further adversely affected.

We are subject to extensive regulation that could limit or restrict our activities.

We operate in a highly regulated industry and are subject to examination, supervision, and comprehensive regulation by various regulatory agencies. Our compliance with these regulations is costly and
restricts certain of our activities, including the declaration and payment of cash dividends to common shareholders, mergers and acquisitions, investments, loans and interest rates charged, interest rates paid on deposits, and locations of offices.
We are also subject to capitalization guidelines established by our regulators, which require us to maintain adequate capital to support our growth and operations.

The laws and regulations applicable to the banking industry have recently changed and may continue to change, and we cannot predict the effects of these changes on our business and
profitability. Because government regulation greatly affects the business and financial results of all commercial banks and bank holding companies, our cost of compliance could adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and the related rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, have increased the scope, complexity, and cost of corporate governance, reporting, and disclosure practices. We have experienced, and we expect to continue to experience as all aspects of compliance become applicable to us in 2010,
greater compliance costs, including costs related to internal controls, as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

On June 17, 2009, the Obama Administration announced a comprehensive plan for regulatory reform of the financial services industry. The plan set forth five separate initiatives
that will be the focus of the regulatory reform, including requiring strong supervision and appropriate regulation of all financial firms, strengthening regulation of core markets and market infrastructure, strengthening consumer protection,
strengthening regulatory powers to



16

effectively manage failing institutions and improving international regulatory standards and cooperation. The implications of this plan on our business are unclear at this time, but the plan may
adversely affect our business, results of operations and the underlying value of our common stock.

Congress
is likely to consider additional proposals to substantially change the financial institution regulatory system and to expand or contract the powers of banking institutions and bank holding companies. Such legislation may change existing banking
statutes and regulations, as well as our current operating environment significantly. If enacted, such legislation could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand our permissible activities, or affect the competitive balance
among banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other financial institutions. We cannot predict whether new legislation will be enacted and, if enacted, the effect that it, or any regulations, would have on our business, financial condition,
or results of operations.

Our financial condition and results of operations are affected by credit policies
of monetary authorities, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. Actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, including the Federal Reserve, could have an adverse effect on our deposit levels, loan demand or business and earnings.

On February 17, 2009, the Recovery Act was signed into law in an effort to, among other things, create jobs and
stimulate growth in the United States economy. The Recovery Act specifies appropriations of approximately $787 billion for a wide range of Federal programs and will increase or extend certain benefits payable under the Medicaid, unemployment
compensation, and nutrition assistance programs. The Recovery Act also reduces individual and corporate income tax collections and makes a variety of other changes to tax laws. The Recovery Act also imposes certain limitations on compensation paid
by participants in TARP, which includes programs under TARP such as the Capital Purchase Program.

There can
be no assurance that these government actions will achieve their purpose. The failure of the financial markets to stabilize, or a continuation or worsening of the current financial market conditions, could have a material adverse affect on our
business, our financial condition, the financial condition of our customers, our common stock trading price, as well as our ability to access credit. It could also result in declines in our investment portfolio which could be
other-than-temporary impairments.

We are a new bank that has incurred losses to date, and there is a risk we may never
become profitable.

Our bank is a de novo bank that began operations in January 2006. As is typical
with most new banks, we incurred substantial start-up expenses and are still operating with an accumulated deficit. In order for us to become profitable, we need to continue attract a larger number of customers to deposit and borrow money. Our
future profitability is also dependent on numerous other factors, including the success of the economy of the community and favorable government regulation. While the economy in this area has been strong in recent years, the current economic
downturn in the area has impacted our business. We are also a highly regulated institution. Our ability to grow and achieve profitability may be adversely affected by state and federal regulations that limit a banks right to make loans and
purchase securities. Although we expect to become profitable in our fifth year of operation, there is a risk that a continued deterioration of the local economy or adverse government regulation could affect our plans. If this happens, we may never
become profitable and shareholders may lose part or all of their investment.

We may experience increased delinquencies
and credit losses, which could have a material adverse effect on our capital, financial condition and results of operations.

Like other lenders, we face the risk that our customers will not repay their loans. A customers failure to repay us is usually preceded by missed monthly payments. In some instances, however, a
customer may declare bankruptcy prior to missing payments, and, following a borrower filing bankruptcy, a lenders recovery of the credit extended is often limited. Since our loans are secured by collateral, we may attempt to seize the
collateral when and if customers default on their loans. However, the value of the collateral may not equal the amount of the unpaid loan, and we may be unsuccessful in recovering the remaining balance from our customers. Rising delinquencies and
rising rates of bankruptcy in our market area generally and among our customers specifically can be precursors of future charge-offs and may require us to increase our allowance for loan and lease losses. Higher charge-off rates and an increase in
our allowance for loan and lease losses may hurt our overall financial performance if we are unable to increase revenue to compensate for these losses and may also increase our cost of funds.

Continued weakness in residential property values and mortgage loan markets could adversely affect us.

We have a significant number of one-to-four family residential loans, which are secured principally
by single-family residences. Loans of this type are generally smaller in size and geographically dispersed throughout our market area. Losses on our residential loan portfolio are difficult to predict because of a number of variables, including
interest rates, the unemployment rate, economic conditions, and collateral values. Continued weakness in the secondary market for residential lending could have an adverse impact upon our profitability. Pricing may change rapidly, impacting the
value of loans in our portfolio. This weakness has been most pronounced in residential construction and development loans; however, turmoil in the mortgage markets, combined with the ongoing correction in real estate markets, could result in further
price reductions in single family home prices and lack of liquidity in refinancing markets. These factors could adversely impact the quality of our residential construction and residential mortgage portfolio in various ways, including creating
discrepancies in value between the original appraisal and the value at time of sale, and decreasing the value of the collateral securing our mortgage loans.

We are subject to risks in the event of certain borrower default, which could have an adverse impact on our liquidity position and results of operations.

We may be required to repurchase mortgage loans or indemnify mortgage loan purchasers as a result of certain borrower defaults, which could
adversely affect our liquidity position, results of operations, and financial condition. When we sell mortgage loans, we are required to make customary representations and warranties to the purchaser about the mortgage loans and the manner in which
the loans were originated. Our whole-loan sale agreements may require us to repurchase or substitute mortgage loans in the event we breach any such representations or warranties. In addition, we may be required to repurchase mortgage loans in the
event of early payment default of the borrower on a mortgage loan. While we have taken steps to enhance our underwriting policies and procedures, these steps might not be effective and might not lessen the risks associated with loans sold in the
past. If repurchase demands increase, our liquidity position, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The deterioration in the residential mortgage market may continue to spread to commercial real estate credits, which may result in increased financial and regulatory risks and greater losses and
non-performing assets, each of which may have an adverse affect on our business operations.

The
losses that were initially associated with subprime residential mortgages rapidly spread into the residential mortgage market generally. If the losses in the residential mortgage market continue to spread to commercial real estate credits, then we
may be forced to take greater losses or retain more non-performing assets. In addition, in general commercial real estate, or CRE, is cyclical and poses risks of possible loss due to concentration levels and similar risks of the asset class. As of
December 31, 2009, approximately 28.2% of our loan portfolio consisted of CRE loans.

Our decisions regarding credit risk and
reserves for loan losses may materially and adversely affect our business.

Making loans and other
extensions of credit is an essential element of our business. Although we seek to mitigate risks inherent in lending by adhering to specific underwriting practices, our loans and other extensions of credit may not be repaid. The risk of nonpayment
is affected by a number of factors, including:



| |  |  | the duration of the credit;
| | - |  | ---------------------------

| |  |  | credit risks of a particular customer;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------

| |  |  | changes in economic and industry conditions; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | in the case of a collateralized loan, risks resulting from uncertainties about the future value of the collateral.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We attempt to maintain an appropriate allowance for loan losses to provide for potential losses in our loan portfolio. We
periodically determine the amount of the allowance based on consideration of several factors, including:



| |  |  | an ongoing review of the quality, mix, and size of our overall loan portfolio;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | our historical loan loss experience;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------

| |  |  | evaluation of economic conditions;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------

| |  |  | regular reviews of loan delinquencies and loan portfolio quality; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | the amount and quality of collateral, including guarantees, securing the loans.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



18



---

There is no precise method of predicting credit losses; therefore, we face
the risk that charge-offs in future periods will exceed our allowance for loan losses and that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will be required. Additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a decrease of our net
income, and possibly our capital.

While we generally underwrite the loans in our portfolio in accordance with
our own internal underwriting guidelines and regulatory supervisory guidelines, in certain circumstances we have made loans which exceed either our internal underwriting guidelines, supervisory guidelines, or both. As of December 31, 2009,
approximately $10.7 million of our loans, or 106.8% of our companys capital, had loan-to-value ratios that exceeded regulatory supervisory guidelines, of which 11 loans totaling approximately $1.0 million had loan-to-value ratios of 100% or
more. At December 31, 2009, approximately $5.5 million of our commercial loans, or 54.6% of the Companys capital, exceeded the supervisory loan to value ratio. The number of loans in our portfolio with loan-to-value ratios in excess of
supervisory guidelines, our internal guidelines, or both could increase the risk of delinquencies and defaults in our portfolio.

Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses, which may require us to materially increase our allowance, which would adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

We maintain an allowance for estimated loan losses that we believe is adequate for absorbing any
probable losses in our loan portfolio. Management determines the provision for loan losses based upon an analysis of general market conditions, credit quality of our loan portfolio, and performance of our customers relative to their financial
obligations with us. As a result of losses on collateral dependent loans recorded in 2009, our allowance has decreased from 1.43% of outstanding portfolio loans as of December 31, 2008 to 1.18% as of December 31, 2009. It may be necessary
to increase our allowance during 2010 due to the difficult real estate market and the deterioration of asset quality. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan and lease losses involves a high degree of subjectivity and
requires that significant estimates of current risk be made, using existing qualitative and quantitative information, all of which may undergo material changes. The amount of future losses is susceptible to changes in economic, operating, and other
conditions, including changes in interest rates that may be beyond our control, and such losses may exceed the allowance for estimated loan losses. Additionally, federal banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function,
periodically review the allowance for estimated loan losses. If these regulatory agencies require us to increase the allowance for estimated loan losses, it would have a negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Although
management believes that the allowance for estimated loan losses is adequate to absorb any probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, we are consistently adjusting our loan portfolio and underwriting standards to reflect
current market conditions, we can provide no assurance that our methodology will not change and that the allowance will prove sufficient to cover actual loan losses in the future.

Lack of seasoning of our loan portfolio may increase the risk of credit defaults in the future.

Due to our short operating history, the loans in our loan portfolio and our lending relationships are of relatively recent origin. In general, loans do not begin to show signs of credit deterioration or
default until they have been outstanding for some period of time, a process we refer to as seasoning. As a result, a portfolio of older loans will usually behave more predictably than a newer portfolio. Because our loan portfolio is
relatively new, the current level of delinquencies and defaults may not be representative of the level that will prevail when the portfolio becomes more seasoned, which may be higher than current levels. If delinquencies and defaults increase, we
may be required to increase our provision for loan losses, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real estate, and events that negatively impact the real estate market could hurt our business.

A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real estate. As of December 31, 2009, approximately 93% of
our loans had real estate as a primary or secondary component of collateral. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during the time the
credit is extended. A continued weakening of the real estate market in our primary market area could result in an increase in the number of borrowers who default on their loans and a reduction in the value of the



19



---

collateral securing their loans, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our profitability and asset quality. If we are required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy the
debt during a period of reduced real estate values, our earnings and capital could be adversely affected. Acts of nature, including hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, fires and floods, which may cause uninsured damage and other loss of value to real
estate that secures these loans, may also negatively impact our financial condition.

We have a high concentration of
construction and development loans in our loan portfolio which carry a higher degree of risk than long-term financing of existing properties.

As of December 31, 2009, total construction and development loans amounted to approximately $2.6 million, or 3.6%, of our total loan portfolio. Included in the $2.6 million was $857,146
outstanding under construction loan facilities, or 32.8% of our construction and development loan portfolio, that were made to commercial construction developers. Construction and development loans generally carry a higher degree of risk than
long-term financing of existing properties because repayment depends on the ultimate completion of the project or home and usually on the sale of the property or permanent financing. Specific risks include:



| |  |  | cost overruns;
| | - |  | --------------



| |  |  | mismanaged construction;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | inferior or improper construction techniques;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | economic changes or downturns during construction;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | rising interest rates that may prevent sale of the property; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | failure to sell completed projects or units in a timely manner.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------

The occurrence of any of the preceding risks could result in the deterioration of one or more of these loans which could
significantly increase our percentage of non-performing assets. An increase in non-performing loans may result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the related provision for loan losses, and an increase in charge-offs, all of which
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our use of appraisals in
deciding whether to make a loan on or secured by real property or how to value such loan in the future may not accurately describe the net value of the real property collateral that we can realize.

In considering whether to make a loan secured by real property, we generally require an appraisal of the property. However,
an appraisal is only an estimate of the value of the property at the time the appraisal is made, and, as real estate values in our market area have experienced changes in value in relatively short periods of time, this estimate might not accurately
describe the net value of the real property collateral after the loan has been closed. If the appraisal does not reflect the amount that may be obtained upon any sale or foreclosure of the property, we may not realize an amount equal to the
indebtedness secured by the property. The valuation of the property may negatively impact the continuing value of such loan and could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.

Continuation of the economic downturn could reduce our customer base, our level of deposits, and demand for financial products such as
loans.

Our success significantly depends upon the growth in population, income levels, deposits, and
housing starts in our markets. The current economic downturn has negatively affected the markets in which we operate and, in turn, the quality of our loan portfolio. If the communities in which we operate do not grow or if prevailing economic
conditions locally or nationally remain unfavorable, our business may not succeed. A continuation of the economic downturn or prolonged recession would likely result in the continued deterioration of the quality of our loan portfolio and reduce our
level of deposits, which in turn would hurt our business. Interest received on loans represented approximately 86.3% of our interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009. If the economic downturn continues or a prolonged economic
recession occurs in the economy as a whole, borrowers will be less likely to repay their loans as scheduled. Moreover, in many cases the value of real estate or other collateral that secures our loans has



20



---

been adversely affected by the economic conditions and could continue to be negatively affected. Unlike many larger institutions, we are not able to spread the risks of unfavorable local economic
conditions across a large number of diversified economies. A continued economic downturn could, therefore, result in losses that materially and adversely affect our business.

Our small- to medium-sized business target markets may have fewer financial resources to weather a downturn in the economy.

We target the banking and financial services needs of small- and medium-sized businesses. These businesses generally have
fewer financial resources in terms of capital borrowing capacity than larger entities. If general economic conditions continue to negatively impact these businesses in the markets in which we operate, our business, financial condition, and results
of operation may be adversely affected.

The FDIC Deposit Insurance assessments that we are required to pay may continue
to materially increase in the future, which would have an adverse effect on our earnings.

As a member
institution of the FDIC, we are assessed a quarterly deposit insurance premium. Failed banks nationwide have significantly depleted the insurance fund and reduced the ratio of reserves to insured deposits. As a result, we may be required to pay
significantly higher premiums or additional special assessments that could adversely affect our earnings.

On
April 1, 2009, the FDIC modified the risk-based assessments to account for each institutions unsecured debt, secured liabilities and use of brokered deposits. Starting with the second quarter of 2009, assessment rates were increased and
currently range from 7 to 77.5 basis points (annualized).

On September 29, 2009, the FDIC announced a
uniform 3 basis points increase effective January 1, 2011, and on November 12, 2009, adopted a rule requiring depository institutions to prepay, in lieu of further special assessments, their assessments for the fourth quarter 2009 and the
three years thereafter. Due to the recent increases in the assessment rates and the required prepayment, at the end of 2009, we were required to pay $423,200 to the DIF on December 30, 2009.

Further increased FDIC assessment premiums, due to our risk classification, emergency assessments, or another uniform
increase, could adversely impact our earnings.

We are dependent on Robert Trask and our business would suffer if
something were to happen to him or if he were to leave.

Our growth and development will largely be
the result of the contributions of our president, Robert Trask. The performance of community banks, like Atlantic Community Bank, is often dependent upon the ability of executive officers to promote the Bank in the local market area. Mr. Trask
has extensive and long-standing ties within our primary service areas and will provide us with an important medium through which to market our products and services. If we lose the services of Mr. Trask, he would be difficult to replace and our
business and development could be materially and adversely affected. We have an employment agreement with Mr. Trask and have $1,000,000 of insurance on his life payable to the Bank.

We face strong competition for customers, which could prevent us from obtaining customers and may cause us to pay higher interest rates to attract customers.

The banking business is highly competitive, and we experience competition in our market from many other
financial institutions. We compete with commercial banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market funds, and other mutual funds,
as well as other super-regional, national, and international financial institutions that operate offices in our primary market areas and elsewhere. We compete with these institutions both in attracting deposits and in making loans. In addition, we
have to attract our client base from other existing financial institutions and from new residents. Many of our competitors are well-established, larger financial institutions. These institutions offer some services, such as extensive and established
branch networks, that we do not currently provide. Also, a number of community banks are entering our primary service area. They include de novo banks and branches of established banking operations, both headquartered in-market as well as
out-of-market. As is the case with other financial service providers, they are attracted to our primary service areas demographic trends and growing deposit base. There is a risk that we will not be able to compete successfully with other
financial institutions in our market, and that we may have to pay higher interest rates to attract deposits, resulting in reduced profitability. In addition, competitors that are not depository institutions are generally not subject to the extensive
regulations that apply to us.



21



---

We are subject to extensive regulation that could limit or restrict our activities.
This regulation is for protection of the Banks depositors and not for the investors.

We operate
in a highly regulated industry and are subject to examination, supervision, and comprehensive regulation by various regulatory agencies. Our compliance with these regulations is costly and restricts certain of our activities, including payment of
dividends, mergers and acquisitions, investments, loans and interest rates charged, interest rates paid on deposits, and locations of offices. We are also subject to capitalization guidelines established by our regulators, which require us to
maintain adequate capital to support our growth.

The laws and regulations applicable to the banking industry
could change at any time, and we cannot predict the effects of these changes on our business and profitability. Because government regulation greatly affects the business and financial results of all commercial banks and bank holding companies, our
cost of compliance could adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

Although we are subject to
extensive and comprehensive regulation by various banking regulatory agencies such as the FDIC and the South Carolina Board of Financial Institution, the purpose of these banking regulatory agencies is to protect and insure the interests and
deposits of our banks depositors. These agencies do not consider preserving or maximizing the investment made by the Companys investors when regulating the Banks activities.

We will face risks with respect to future expansion and acquisitions or mergers.

Although we do not have any current plans to do so, we may seek to acquire other financial institutions or parts of those
institutions. We may also expand into new markets or lines of business or offer new products or services. These activities would involve a number of risks, including:



| |  |  | taking additional time and creating expense associated with identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions and merger partners;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | using inaccurate estimates and judgments to evaluate credit, operations, management, and market risks with respect to the target institution or
assets;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | diluting our existing shareholders in an acquisition;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | taking additional time and creating expense associated with evaluating new markets for expansion, hiring experienced local management, and opening
new offices, as there may be a substantial time lag between these activities before we generate sufficient assets and deposits to support the costs of the expansion;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | taking a significant amount of time negotiating a transaction or working on expansion plans, resulting in managements attention being diverted
from the operation of our existing business;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | taking time and creating expense integrating the operations and personnel of the combined businesses;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | creating an adverse short-term effect on our results of operations; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | losing key employees and customers as a result of an acquisition that is poorly received.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have never acquired another institution before, so we lack experience in handling any of these risks. There is also a
risk that any expansion effort will not be successful.

The costs of being an SEC registered company are proportionately
higher for small companies such as Atlantic Bancshares because of the requirements imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC have increased the scope, complexity, and cost of corporate governance, reporting, and disclosure practices.
These regulations are applicable to our company. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, increasing compliance costs, including costs related to internal controls, as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. These necessary costs are
proportionately higher for a company of our size and will affect our profitability more than that of some of our larger competitors. As previously disclosed, we are currently considering deregistering our common stock under the Securities Exchange
Act.

Changes in the interest rate environment could reduce our net interest income, which could reduce our
profitability.

As a financial institution, our earnings significantly depend on our net interest
income, which is the difference between the interest income that we earn on interest-earning assets, such as investment securities and loans, and the interest expense that we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings.
Therefore, any change in general market interest rates, including changes in the Federal Reserve Boards fiscal and monetary policies, affects us more than non-financial institutions and can have a significant effect on our net interest income
and total income. Our assets and liabilities may react differently to changes in overall market rates or conditions because there may be mismatches between the repricing or maturity characteristics of the assets and liabilities. As a result, an
increase or decrease in market interest rates could have material adverse effects on our net interest margin and results of operations.

In addition, we cannot predict whether interest rates will continue to remain at present levels. Changes in interest rates may cause significant changes, up or down, in our net interest income. Depending
on our portfolio of loans and investments, our results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. In addition, any significant increase in prevailing interest rates could adversely affect our mortgage banking business
because higher interest rates could cause customers to request fewer refinancings and purchase money mortgage originations.

Our continued pace of growth may require us to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed.

We are required by regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. To support our continued growth, we may need to raise additional capital.
Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend in part on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside our control. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, on
terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our ability to further expand our operations through internal growth and acquisitions could be materially impaired. In addition, if we decide to raise additional equity
capital, your interest could be diluted.

We do not expect a liquid market for our common stock to develop for several years, if at all.

Although our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol ATBA,
there is currently no established market for our common stock and trading and quotations of our common stock have been limited and sporadic. We do not expect a liquid market for our common stock to develop for several years, if at all.

Our ability to pay cash dividends on common stock is limited and we may be unable to pay future dividends.

We make no assurances that we will pay any dividends in the future. Any future determination relating to dividend policy
will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on a number of factors, including our future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects, regulatory restrictions, and other factors that our Board of
Directors may deem relevant. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, and if declared by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. As part of our consideration to pay cash dividends, we
intend to retain adequate funds from future earnings to support the development and growth of our business. In addition, our ability to pay dividends is restricted by federal policies and regulations. It is the policy of the Federal Reserve Board
that bank holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of net income available over the past year and only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organizations expected future needs and financial
condition. Further, our principal source of funds to pay dividends is cash dividends that we receive from the Bank.

We depend on out of
market deposits as a source of funding.

As of December 31, 2009, 16.8% of our deposits were
obtained from out of market sources. To continue to have access to this source of funding, we are required to be classified as a well capitalized bank by the FDIC; whereas, if we only meet the capital requirement, we must
obtain permission from the FDIC in order to continue utilizing this source of funding. During 2009, many of the institutional investors began to require that banks participating in the wholesale funding program have an Institutional Deposit Corp.
(IDC) rating at levels that meet their various expectations. As of December 31, 2009, our IDC rating was 83. This is considered by most investor to meet their definition as an adequately rated institution. Should our financial
condition deteriorate, our IDC rating would most likely decline. Such a decline could result in a reduction or examination of some or all investors.

Our ability to attract and retain the best key employees may be limited by the restrictions that we
must place on the compensation of those employees due to our participation in the United States Department of the Treasurys Troubled Assets Relief Program Capital Purchase Program.

Participants in the TARP Capital Purchase Program must set specified limits on the compensation to certain senior executive
officers. The limitations, which include a prohibition on any golden parachute payments and a clawback of any bonus that was based on materially inaccurate financial data or other performance metric, could limit our ability
to attract and retain the best executive officers because other competing employers may not be subject to these limitations.

The United States Department of the Treasury, as a holder of our preferred stock, has rights that are senior to those of our common stockholders.

We have supported our capital operations by issuing a class of preferred stock to the United States Department of the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program. On
December 29, 2009, we issued preferred stock to the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program totaling $2 million. The preferred stock has dividend rights that are senior to our common stock; therefore, we must pay dividends on the
preferred stock before we can pay any dividends on our common stock. In the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution, or liquidation, the holders of our preferred stock must be satisfied before we can make any distributions to our common stockholders.

Our agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program is subject to
unilateral change by the Treasury, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Under the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the Treasury may unilaterally amend the terms of its agreement with us in order to comply with any changes in federal law. We cannot predict the effects of any of
these changes and of the associated amendments.

We are exposed to the possibility of technology failure.

We rely on our computer systems and the technology of outside service providers. Our daily operations depend on the
operational effectiveness of their technology. We rely on our systems to accurately track and record our assets and liabilities. If our computer systems or outside technology sources become unreliable, fail, or experience a breach of security, our
ability to maintain accurate financial records may be impaired, which could materially affect our business operations and financial condition.

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments.

Item 2.  Description of Property.

We are located at One Sheridan Park Circle (Sheridan Park), Bluffton South Carolina 29910. Our original main branch, located at 1 Sherington Drive, Suite J (Sheridan Park), Bluffton,
South Carolina 29910, and our original operations department, located at 70 Pennington Drive, Suite 21 (Sheridan Park), Bluffton, South Carolina 29910, were consolidated and relocated to the renovated new main branch facility, located at One
Sheridan Park Circle, Bluffton South Carolina 29910, in the same commercial subdivision in July 2008. The facility is 5,905 square feet and is leased until December 2023 with two five-year renewal terms. Sheridan Park is an established commercial
subdivision fronting Highway 278 and includes the South Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles, restaurants, retail stores, wholesalers, and professional office space. The commercial building that contains our leased space also borders on and provides
signage on Highway 278. Signage is also provided directly over the main public entrance.

On January 1,
2006 we opened a loan production office on the south end of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. This location was converted into a full service branch in October 2007. We leased a facility at 1 Corpus Christi Place, Suite 108, Hilton Head Island,
South Carolina 29928 that has a total of 1,837 square feet for a period of one year with a one-year option to renew. The organizers of the Company, along with other non-organizers, have



24

formed a separate company, MB Partners, LLC, which purchased this location that we lease. We entered into a new lease agreement beginning August 1, 2006 for a minimum of ten years. The lease
provides for two ten-year renewal options.

See the discussion under Location and Service Area in
Item 1 above for additional information regarding our properties and potential future properties.

Item 3.  Legal
Proceedings.

We are not a party to, nor are any of our properties subject to, any material legal
proceedings.

As of
March 1, 2010, there were 1,403,147 shares of common stock outstanding held by approximately 406 shareholders of record. Of our outstanding common stock, 1,251,577 shares were issued in our initial public offering which was completed on
March 1, 2006. The price per share in our initial public offering was $10.00. An additional 151,570 shares of our common stock were issued during our private placement offering, which concluded on October 19, 2009. The price per share for
this private placement offering was $6.00.

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common
stock since our inception. For the foreseeable future, we do not intend to declare cash dividends. We intend to retain earnings to grow our business and strengthen our capital base. Our ability to pay dividends depends on the ability of our
subsidiary, Atlantic Community Bank, to pay dividends to us. As a South Carolina state bank, our bank may only pay dividends out of its net profits, after deducting expenses, including losses and bad debts. In addition, our bank is prohibited from
declaring a dividend on its shares of common stock until its surplus equals its stated capital. Further, pursuant to our issuance of 2,000 shares of the Companys Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, to the Treasury
under the TARP Capital Purchase Program, the preferred stock has dividend rights that are senior to those of our common stock. In addition, pursuant to the terms under which the preferred stock was issued, there are limitations on the payment of
dividends on common stock.

Additional information regarding our equity compensation plans is set forth in
Item 11 below.

Item 7.  Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Forward Looking Statements

This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the securities laws. All statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. You
can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as may, will, expect, anticipate, believe, intend, estimate, project,
continue, or other similar words. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our future business prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity, capital needs, interest costs, income, business
operations and proposed services.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and
projections about our industry, managements beliefs, and assumptions made by management. Such information includes, without limitation, discussions as to estimates, expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, and objectives concerning our future
financial and operating performance. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, particularly in light of the fact that we are a new company with
little operating history. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:



| |  | our growth and our ability to maintain growth;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------



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



| |  | the effect of interest rate changes on our level and composition of deposits, loan demand and the value of our loan collateral and securities;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | the effects of competition from other financial institutions operating in our market area and elsewhere, including institutions operating locally,
regionally, nationally and internationally, together with competitors that offer banking products and services by mail, telephone and computer and/or the Internet;
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of our allowance for loan losses, including the value of collateral securing loans;
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | loss of consumer confidence and economic disruptions resulting from terrorist activities; and
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation,
those described under the caption Risk Factors in Item 1 of this Annual Report.
|- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We
undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in
this report might not occur.

Introduction

The following discussion describes our results of operations for 2009 compared to 2008 and also analyzes our financial condition as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. Like most
community banks, we derive most of our income from interest we receive 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 from the
Federal Home Loan Bank. 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 referred to as the net interest spread.

We have included a number of tables to assist in our description of these measures. For example, the Average Balances table
shows the average balance in 2009 and 2008 of each category of our assets and liabilities, as well as the yield we earned or the rate we paid with respect to each category. A review of these tables shows that our loans typically provide higher
interest yields than do other types of interest earning assets, which is why we intend to



28



---

channel a substantial percentage of our earning assets into our loan portfolio. We also track the sensitivity of our various categories of assets and liabilities to changes in interest rates, and
we have included an Interest Sensitivity Analysis Table to help explain this. Finally, we have included a number of tables that provide detail about our investment securities, our loans, and our deposits.

Naturally, 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 establish and maintain this allowance by charging a provision for loan losses against our operating earnings. In the Provision and Allowance for Loan Loss section, we have included a detailed discussion
of this process, as well as several tables describing our allowance for loan losses and the allocation of this allowance among our various categories of loans.

In addition to earning interest on our loans and investments, we earn income through fees and other expenses we charge to our customers. We describe the various components of this noninterest income, as
well as our noninterest expense, in the Noninterest Income and Expense section.

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 the financial statements and the related notes and the other information included in this report.

Basis of
Presentation

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the preceding Selected Financial
Data and the Companys Financial Statements and the Notes thereto and the other information included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The financial information provided below has been rounded in order to simplify its presentation.
However, the ratios and percentages provided below are calculated using the detailed financial information contained in the Financial Statements, the Notes thereto and the other financial data included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

General

Atlantic Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Bluffton, South Carolina. Our subsidiary, Atlantic Community Bank, opened for business on January 26, 2006. The principal business activity of the Bank is to provide
banking services to domestic markets, principally in the Beaufort County region of South Carolina. Our deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

We completed an initial public offering of our common stock on March 1, 2006 in which we sold a total of 1,251,577 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share. Proceeds of the stock issuance, net of
offering costs totaling $533,648, were used to pay organizational costs and provide the initial capital for the Bank.

During
the third quarter of 2009, we commenced a private placement offering of shares of common stock to certain accredited investors, including members of our board of directors. In the offering, which concluded on October 19, 2009, we sold 151,570
shares of common stock at $6.00 per share and received gross proceeds of $909,420, which will be used to support the growth of the Company and the operations of the Bank. The private placement offering was exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. No sales commissions were paid in the offering and costs associated with the offering totaling $29,811 were netted against the proceeds.

In response to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets and the potential threats to the solvency of
investment banks and other financial institutions, the United States government has taken unprecedented actions. On October 14, 2008, Treasury announced the TARP Capital Purchase Program under the EESA, pursuant to which the Treasury has made
senior preferred stock investments in participating financial institutions.

On November 25, 2009, we received
preliminary approval to participate in the Capital Purchase Program described above, in the amount of $2,003,000, which represented approximately 3% of our risk-weighted assets as of June 30, 2009. After careful evaluation by our executive
management and board of directors, including the impact of our participation on our capital ratios and operations as well as on our common shareholders, we elected to participate at $2,000,000 and were able to participate under the private company
terms, which limited dilution to our common shareholders. On December 29, 2009, we issued shares of our Series A and Series B Preferred Stock to Treasury. Refer to the Capital Resources section of Managements Discussion
and Analysis or Plan of Operation as well as the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details.

Recent Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives to Address Financial and Economic Crises

Markets in the United States and elsewhere have experienced extreme volatility and disruption for more than 12 months.
These circumstances have exerted significant downward pressure on prices of equity securities and virtually all other asset classes, and have resulted in substantially increased market volatility, severely constrained credit and capital markets,
particularly for financial institutions, and an overall loss of investor confidence. Loan portfolio performances have deteriorated at many institutions resulting from, among other factors, a weak economy and a decline in the value of the collateral
supporting their loans. Dramatic slowdowns in the housing industry, due in part to falling home prices and increasing foreclosures and unemployment, have created strains on financial institutions. Many borrowers are now unable to repay their loans,
and the collateral securing these loans has, in some cases, declined below the loan balance. In response to the challenges facing the financial services sector, several regulatory and governmental actions have recently been announced including:



| |  |  | The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act, approved by Congress and signed by President Bush on October 3, 2008, which, among other provisions,
allowed the U.S. Treasury to purchase troubled assets from banks, authorized the Securities and Exchange Commission to suspend the application of marked-to-market accounting, and temporarily raised the basic limit of FDIC deposit insurance from
$100,000 to $250,000 until December 31, 2013;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On October 7, 2008, the FDIC approved a plan to increase the rates banks pay for deposit insurance;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On October 14, 2008, the U.S. Treasury announced the creation of a new program, the Capital Purchase Program, that encourages and allows
financial institutions to build capital through the sale of senior preferred shares to the U.S. Treasury on terms that are non-negotiable;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced the creation of the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, which seeks to strengthen confidence and
encourage liquidity in the banking system. The TLGP has two primary components that are available on a voluntary basis to financial institutions:
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Guarantee of newly-issued senior unsecured debt; the guarantee would apply to new debt issued on or before June 30, 2009 and would provide
protection until June 30, 2012; issuers electing to participate would pay a 75 basis point fee for the guarantee;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Unlimited deposit insurance for non-interest bearing deposit transaction accounts through June 30, 2010; financial institutions electing to
participate will pay increased insurance premiums over standard deposit insurance.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | On February 17, 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the Recovery Act) was signed into law in an effort to, among
other things, create jobs and stimulate growth in the United States economy. The Recovery Act specifies appropriations of approximately $787 billion for a wide range of Federal programs and will increase or extend certain benefits payable under the
Medicaid, unemployment compensation, and nutrition assistance programs. The Recovery Act also reduces individual and corporate income tax collections and makes a variety of other changes to tax laws. The Recovery Act also imposes certain limitations

| |  |  | On March 23, 2009, the U.S. Treasury, in conjunction with the FDIC and the Federal Reserve, announced the Public-Private Partnership Investment
Program for Legacy Assets which consists of two separate plans, addressing two distinct asset groups:
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Legacy Loan Program, which the primary purpose will be to facilitate the sale of troubled mortgage loans by eligible institutions, which include
FDIC-insured federal or state banks and savings associations. Eligible assets may not be strictly limited to loans; however, what constitutes an eligible asset will be determined by participating banks, their primary regulators, the FDIC and the
U.S. Treasury. Additionally, the Loan Programs requirements and structure will be subject to notice and comment rulemaking, which may take some time to complete.

| |  |  | The Securities Program, which will be administered by the U.S. Treasury, involves the creation of public-private investment funds to target
investments in eligible residential mortgage-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities issued before 2009 that originally were rated AAA or the equivalent by two or more nationally recognized statistical rating organizations,
without regard to rating enhancements (collectively, Legacy Securities). Legacy Securities must be directly secured by actual mortgage loans, leases or other assets, and may be purchased only from financial institutions that meet TARP
eligibility requirements.

We are participating in the unlimited deposit insurance component of the TLGP. As
a result of the enhancements to deposit insurance protection and the expectation that there will be demands on the FDICs deposit insurance fund, our deposit insurance costs have increased and will continue to increase significantly through
2010 and possibly beyond.

Governmental intervention and new regulations under these and future programs could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis describes our performance in this challenging economic environment.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2009,
compared with year ended December 31, 2008

Net interest income increased $260,606, or 8.70%, to $3,256,927, in
2009 from $2,996,321 in 2008. Interest income of $5,236,823 for the year ended December 31, 2009 mainly included $4,517,186 on loans and $719,459 on investment securities and Federal Home Loan Bank stock. For the year ended December 31,
2009, interest income decreased $552,872, or 9.55%, from $5,789,695 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Total interest expense of $1,979,896 for the year ended December 31, 2009 included $1,408,034 related to deposit accounts and
$571,862 associated with the Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, other short-term borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and federal funds purchased. For the year ended December 31, 2009, interest expense decreased $813,478, or
29.12%%, from $2,793,374 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Decreases in the Federal Reserve short-term rates and the resulting decrease in the yields we generated on our earning assets (from variable rate loan repricing and new loans at
lower rates), has been offset by benefits we received from the repricing of our rate sensitive liabilities for year ended December 31, 2009.

Our net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.25% and 3.63%, respectively, in 2009 compared to 2.82% and 3.38%, respectively, in 2008. Decreased funding costs attributable to repricing of our
interest rate sensitive deposits and borrowings chiefly produced the increased net interest spread and net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2008. Yields on average
interest-bearing liabilities decreased 113 basis points to 2.59% for 2009 as compared to 3.72% in 2008. The average balance on interest bearing liabilities increased $1,539,940, or 2.05%, to $76,551,055 in 2009 from $75,011,115 in 2008. The average
balance in the loan portfolio increased $3,855,743, or 5.46%, to $74,518,847 in 2009 from $70,663,104 in 2008. The average balance of taxable securities decreased $2,805,596, or 16.67%, to $14,028,142 in 2009 from $16,833,738 in 2008 which was
attributable to mortgage backed securities repayments. No investments were purchased or sold for the year ended December 31, 2009. Yields on average earning assets decreased to 5.84% in 2009 from 6.54% in 2009.

The provision for loan losses was $1,958,300 in 2009 compared to $637,200 in 2008. We seek to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a
level management believes to be sufficient to cover known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio. The increase was a result of loan charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2009 mainly due to losses on collateral dependent real estate
loans.

Noninterest income increased $41,515, or 17.44%, to $279,526 in 2009 from $238,011 in 2008. Service charges on deposit
accounts increased $38,333, or 36.81%, to $142,472 for the year ended December 31, 2009 when compared to $104,139 for the year ended December 31, 2008. NSF/overdraft fees on deposit accounts increased $36,938, or 41.70% to $125,523 for the
year ending December 31, 2009 compared to $88,585 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This fee increase was mainly attributable to weak economic conditions which resulted in more overdrawn accounts. Bankcard fees increased $12,160, or
23.28%, to $64,395 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $52,235 for the year ended December 31, 2008 produced by bankcard transaction volume. Residential mortgage origination fees decreased $2,454 or 7.84%, to $28,829 for the
year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $31,283 for the year ended December 31, 2008 due to the continued declining mortgage loan sale volume.

Total noninterest expense decreased $66,616, or 2%, to $3,271,136 in 2009 from $3,337,752 in
2008. The primary component of noninterest expense was salaries and benefits which decreased $97,521 to $1,586,007 for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $1,683,528 for the year ended December 31, 2008, chiefly driven by
personnel reductions. Managements continued effort to review marketing initiatives has produced decreased marketing and advertising related expenses. Marketing expense totaling $130,564 for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased
$29,450 or 18.40%, from $160,014 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Fully depreciated fixed assets were the contributing factor for decreased furniture and equipment expense for the year ended December 31, 2009. Furniture and fixtures
expense decreased $68,520, or 31.12%, to $151,670 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $220,190 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

FDIC deposit insurance increased $94,853 to $152,810 for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $57,957 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This increase is due to the FDIC Insurance
Reform Legislation that allows the FDIC to price deposit insurance according to risk for all insured institutions regardless of the level of the reserve ratio. In addition, $42,968 was collected for a special assessment required by the FDIC. This
assessment was calculated using 5.0 basis points of the special assessment base (total assets less tier one capital) at June 30, 2009.

Other operating expenses increased to $497,056 for the year ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $450,878 for the year ended December 31, 2008. An updated appraisal obtained in August 2009 on
one of the Banks other real estate owned (OREO) lots resulted in a $41,100 charge to earnings to increase the OREO valuation allowance. Increased FDIC assessments and the OREO valuation allowance charge were somewhat offset by
decreased dues and subscription costs, decreased telephone/communication expense, decreased travel expense and decreased office supply expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008.

The FDIC continues to evaluate the insurance fund level and may impose further special assessments in future quarters. The FDIC required
us to prepay the deposit insurance premiums for a period of three years at our current assessment rate. We will recognize the expense over the three year prepayment period. Our estimated prepaid assessment totaled $423,200 for the quarters ending
December 2009 to December 2012 and was paid on December 30, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, and each quarter thereafter, a charge to earnings will be recorded for each regular assessment with an offsetting credit to the prepaid asset.

Our efficiency ratio was 91.21% in 2009 compared to 102.29% in 2008. The efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expense
divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, net of gains and losses on sales of assets.

The combination
of the above factors resulted in a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $2,938,480, or $2.28 per share, after recognition of an income tax expense of $1,245,497 for the year. As discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements, we
concluded that we should record a valuation allowance against the majority of our deferred tax asset. Return on average assets during 2009 was (3.14) % compared to (.53) % during 2008.

Net Interest Income

General.
The largest component of net income is its net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on assets and interest paid on deposits and 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 its 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. This net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets represents our net interest margin.

Average Balances, Income and Expenses and Rates. The following tables set 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 and are then annualized. Average balances have been derived from the daily
balances throughout the period indicated.

(1)There were eight loans totaling $1,337,119 in nonaccrual status as
of December 31, 2009. The effect of fees collected on loans totaling $58,786 increased the annualized yield on loans by .08% from 5.98%. The effect on the annualized yield on earning assets was an increase of .06% from 5.78%. The effect on net
interest spread and net interest margin was an increase of .06% and .06% from 3.19% and 3.57%, respectively. The net interest spread is the difference between the yield we earn on our interest-earning assets and the rate we pay on our
interest-bearing liabilities.

There were three loans totaling $1,639,092 in nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2008.
The effect of fees collected on loans totaling $79,847 increased the annualized yield on loans by .11% from 6.75%. The effect on the annualized yield on earning assets was an increase of .09% from 6.45%. The effect on net interest spread and net
interest margin was an increase of .09% and .09% from 2.73% and 3.29%, respectively. The net interest spread is the difference between the yield we earn on our interest-earning assets and the rate we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities.

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income.Net interest income can also be
analyzed in terms of the impact of changing rates and changing volume. The following table reflects the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities have affected our interest
income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information on changes in each category attributable to (i) changes due to volume (change in volume multiplied by prior period rate), (ii) changes due to rates (changes in rates
multiplied by prior period volume) and (iii) changes in rate/volume (change in rate multiplied by the change in volume) is provided as follows:

Interest Sensitivity. We monitor and manage the pricing and maturity of our assets and
liabilities in order to diminish the potential adverse impact that changes in interest rates could have on its net interest income. The principal monitoring technique employed by us is the measurement of 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.

The following table sets forth our interest rate
sensitivity at December 31, 2009

The above table reflects the balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities at the earlier of their repricing or maturity dates. Overnight federal funds are reflected at the earliest pricing interval due to the immediately available nature of the instruments. Debt securities are reflected at each
instruments ultimate maturity date. Scheduled payment amounts of fixed rate amortizing loans are reflected at each scheduled payment date. Scheduled payment amounts of variable rate amortizing loans are reflected at each scheduled payment date
until the loan may be repriced contractually; the unamortized balance is reflected at that point. Interest-bearing liabilities with no contractual maturity, such as savings deposits and interest-bearing transaction accounts, are reflected in the
earliest repricing period due to contractual arrangements which give us the opportunity to vary the rates paid on those deposits within a thirty-day or shorter period. Fixed rate time deposits, principally certificates of deposit, are reflected at
their contractual maturity date. Overnight federal funds purchased mature daily and are reflected at the earliest pricing interval. The Federal Home Loan Bank advances are reflected at their contractual maturity dates. Advances from the Federal
Reserve Bank are also reflected at their contractual maturity date.

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 are cumulatively asset sensitive through the first twelve months and cumulatively asset
sensitive beyond one year. However, our gap analysis is not a precise indicator of its 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. Net interest income may be impacted by other significant factors in a given interest rate environment, including changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

General. We have established an allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan losses charged to expense on our
consolidated statement of operations. The allowance for loan losses was $864,417 and $1,075,776, or 1.18% and 1.43% of total loans, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans has
decreased mainly attributable to $2,169,659 in net charge offs against the allowance for loan losses on predominately collateral-dependent impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 2009. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, the provision expense was $1,958,300 and $637,200, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses represents an amount
which we believe will be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is a process that requires considerable judgment. 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 established on 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, the historical loss experience of our peers and a review of specific problem loans. We also consider subjective issues such as changes in the lending policies and
procedures, changes in the local/national economy, changes in volume or type of credits, changes in volume/severity of problem loans, quality of loan review and board of director oversight, concentrations of credit, and peer group comparisons. We
strive to follow a comprehensive, well-documented, and consistently applied analysis of our loan portfolio in determining an appropriate level for the loan loss allowance. We adjust the amount of the loan allowance periodically based on changing
circumstances through an expense recorded to the provision for loan losses. We charge recognized losses to the allowance and add subsequent recoveries back to the allowance for loan losses.

We calculate the allowance for loan losses for specific types of loans and evaluate the
adequacy on an overall portfolio basis utilizing our credit grading system which we apply to each loan. We combine our estimates of the reserves needed for each component of the portfolio, including loans analyzed on a pool basis and loans analyzed
individually. The allowance is divided into two portions: (1) an amount for specific allocations on significant individual credits and (2) a general reserve amount.

Specific Reserve.We analyze individual loans within the portfolio and make allocations to the allowance based on each individual loans specific factors and other
circumstances that affect the collectability of the credit in accordance with the criteria defined in the Receivables Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which was originally issued under SFAS No. 114, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. Significant individual credits classified as doubtful or substandard/special mention within our credit grading system that are determined to be impaired require both individual analysis and specific
allocation. Management has determined that impaired loans totaled $2,922,462 and $2,462,246 at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Specific valuation allowances related to these impaired loans totaled $138,942 and
$456,667 at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Loans in the substandard/special mention
category are characterized by deterioration in quality exhibited by any number of well-defined weaknesses requiring corrective action such as declining or negative earnings trends and declining or inadequate liquidity. Loans in the doubtful category
exhibit the same weaknesses found in the substandard/special mention loan; however, the weaknesses are more pronounced. These loans, however, are not regularly rated as impaired because certain events may occur which could salvage the debt such as
injection of capital, alternative financing, or liquidation of assets.

The loans with specific reserves are typically
identified though our process of reviewing and assessing the ratings on loans, which is performed by personnel, in our credit administration area, which includes a special assets manager. Loans on our watch list (criticized assets) 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 payment delay occurs and all amounts due, including
accrued interest at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay, are expected to be collected. All loans on nonaccrual or that meet the definition of a troubled debt restructured loan are identified as impaired.

In situations where a loan is determined to be impaired (primarily because it is probable that all principal and interest due according to
the terms of the loan agreement will not be collected as scheduled), the loan is excluded from the general reserve calculations described below and is assigned a specific reserve. These reserves are based on a thorough analysis of the most probable
source of repayment which is usually the liquidation of the underlying collateral, but may also include discounted future cash flows or, in rare cases, the market value of the loan itself. The credit administration area periodically reviews the fair
value assigned to each impaired loan and adjusts the specific reserve accordingly.

For collateral dependent loans (repayment
of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral), current market appraisals are ordered to estimate the current fair value of the collateral. However, in situations where a current market appraisal is not available,
management uses the best available information (including recent appraisals for similar properties, communications with qualified real estate professionals, information contained in reputable trade publications and other observable market data) to
estimate the current fair value. The estimated costs to sell the subject property are then deducted from the estimated fair value to arrive at the net realizable value of the loan and to determine the specific reserve on each impaired
loan reviewed. In general, any portion of the recorded investment in a collateral dependent loan in excess of the fair value of the collateral that can be identified as uncollectible, and is therefore deemed a confirmed loss, is promptly charged off
against the loan loss allowance.

The accuracy of the loan ratings is validated by a third party review which is performed
semi-annually and covers a substantial sample of the loan portfolio. In addition, the FDIC and SCBFI review our allowance for loan losses through their periodic examinations, and they may require us to record additions to the allowance for loan
losses based on their judgment about information made available to them at the time of their examination. Our losses will undoubtedly vary from our estimates, and there is a possibility that charge-offs in future periods will exceed the allowance
for loan losses estimated at any point in time.

General Reserve.Our general reserve was $725,475 as of
December 31, 2009, as compared to $619,109 as of December 31, 2008. We calculate our general reserve based on a percentage allocation for each of the effective

categories of unclassified loan types. Due to our short operating history, our historical loss rate may not represent realistic loss factors for pools of loans. Therefore, FDIC statistics for our
peer group are used to estimate a historical loss percentage. In addition, qualitative and environmental factors, as discussed below, are considered. The general estimate is then added to the specific reserves made to determine the amount of the
total allowance for loan losses.

We maintain the general reserve in accordance with December 2006 regulatory interagency
guidance in our assessment of the loan loss allowance. The general reserve considers qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses including, but not limited to: changes in delinquent loan trends, trends in
risk grades and net charge-offs, concentrations of credit, trends in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, general and local economic trends, collateral valuations, the experience and depth of lending management and staff, lending policies
and procedures, the quality of loan review systems, and other external factors.

The recent downturn in the real estate market
has resulted in an increase in loan delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures, and we believe these trends are likely to continue. In some cases, this downturn has resulted in a significant impairment to the value of our collateral and our ability to
sell the collateral upon foreclosure, and there is a risk that this trend will continue. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during
the time the credit is extended. If real estate values continue to decline, it is also more likely that we would be required to increase our allowance for loan losses. Based on present information and an ongoing evaluation, management considers the
allowance for loan losses to be adequate to meet presently known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio. Managements judgment about the adequacy of the allowance is based upon a number of assumptions about future events which it believes to
be reasonable but which may or may not be accurate. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the allowance for loan losses will not be required,
especially considering the overall weakness in the commercial real estate market in our market areas. Management believes estimates of the level of allowance for loan losses required have been appropriate and expectation is that the primary factors
considered in the provision calculation will continue to be consistent with prior trends. No assurances can be given in this regard, however, especially considering the overall weakness in the real estate market.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our allowance for loan losses and the composition of charge-offs and
recoveries for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming Assets. There were eight loans totaling $1,337,119 which were nonperforming loans at December 31, 2009. There were three loans totaling
$1,639,092 which were nonperforming loans at December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. There was one loan totaling $31,363 which was 90 days or more past due and
still accruing interest as of December 31, 2008 which was facilitated by the bankruptcy court. Real estate acquired through foreclosure totaled $212,400 and $162,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Our policy with respect to nonperforming assets is as follows. Accrual of interest will be discontinued on a loan when we believe, after
considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts that the borrowers financial condition is such that the collection of interest is doubtful. A delinquent loan will generally be placed in nonaccrual status when it becomes 90
days or more past due. When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, all interest which has been accrued on the loan but remains unpaid will be reversed and deducted from current earnings as a reduction of reported interest income. No additional
interest will be accrued on the loan balance until the collection of both principal and interest becomes reasonably certain. When a problem loan is finally resolved, there may ultimately be an actual write-down or charge-off of the principal balance
of the loan which would necessitate additional charges to earnings.

Potential Problem Loans. At
December 31, 2009, loans totaling $6,891,885 as compared to $5,269,128 for the prior year were criticized. Loans totaling $2,922,462 and $2,462,246 were classified or impaired by our internal review mechanisms as of December 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively. The results of this internal review process are considered in determining our assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Included in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $138,942
and $456,667, respectively, related to impaired loans.

Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest Income. The largest component of noninterest income was service charges on deposit accounts for the year
ended December 31, 2009 which totaled $142,472 as compared to $104,139 in 2008. This increase was mainly attributable to deteriorating economic conditions which increased NSF/overdraft fee income. NSF/overdraft fees on deposit accounts
increased $36,938 to $125,523 for the year ending December 31, 2009 compared to $88,585 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Bankcard transaction fees increased $12,160 to $64,395 for the year ended December 31,

2009 attributable to increased transaction volume. Mortgage origination fee income totaled $28,829 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $31,283 for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Unfavorable economic and industry conditions have continued to decrease mortgage loan sales volume which has negatively impacted our mortgage origination fee income.

The following table sets forth the principal components of noninterest income for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Noninterest Expense.Salaries and
employee benefits comprised the largest component of noninterest expense each year, totaling $1,586,007 and $1,683,528 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Occupancy expense totaled $418,311 and $338,251 for the years
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Increased leasehold depreciation expense resulted from the consolidation and relocation of our original main branch and the original operations center to the renovated new main branch facility in
the same commercial subdivision in July 2008. Leasehold depreciation expense increased $47,242 to $109,206 from $61,964 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended 2008. As a result of successful brand recognition in our
marketplace and managements efforts to increase operational efficiencies in the marketing area, marketing expenses decreased $29,450 to $130,564 from $160,014 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. FDIC deposit
insurance increased $94,853 to $152,810 from $57,957 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. This increase is due to the FDIC Insurance Reform Legislation that allows the FDIC to price deposit insurance according to risk for all insured
institutions regardless of the level of the reserve ratio. In addition, $42,968 was collected for a special assessment required by the FDIC. This assessment was calculated using 5.0 basis points of the special assessment base (total assets less tier
one capital) at June 30, 2009. The FDIC continues to evaluate the insurance fund level and may impose further special assessments in future quarters.

The following table sets forth the primary components of noninterest expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Income Taxes

In September 2009, management evaluated the likelihood of recognizing the Banks deferred tax asset. Based on the evidence supporting
this asset, it was decided to record a full valuation allowance against the asset on the Banks books. A deferred tax asset is created from the difference between book income using GAAP and tax earnings.

---

Deferred tax assets represent the future tax benefit of deductible items. The Company, under the current Internal Revenue Code, is allowed an up to five year carryback and a twenty year
carryforward of these timing items. A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that a tax asset will not be realized. The valuation allowance reduces the recorded deferred tax assets to net realizable value. As of
December 31, 2009, we set up a valuation allowance of $1,788,548 to reflect the portion of the deferred income tax asset that is not able to be offset against net operating loss carrybacks and reversals of net future taxable temporary
differences projected to occur in 2009. This resulted in income tax expense of $1,245,497 for the year ended December 31, 2009. When the Company generates future taxable income, it will be able to adjust the valuation allowance. During the year
ended December 31, 2008, we had recorded an income tax benefit of $251,794 based on an effective tax rate of 34%.

Earning Assets

Loans.Loans 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 which we attempt to control and counterbalance. Loans averaged $74,518,847 and $70,663,104 in 2009 and
2008, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, total loans were $73,228,508 and $75,363,221, respectively.

The
following table sets forth the composition of the loan portfolio by category at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and highlights our general emphasis on real-estate lending.

The largest component of loans in our loan portfolio is real estate mortgage loans. At
December 31, 2009, real estate mortgage loans totaled $50,105,621, or 68.40% of our total loan portfolio, compared to $50,806,898, or 67.36%, in 2008.

In the context of this discussion, a real estate mortgage loan is defined as any loan, other than a loan for construction, land development and other land, 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 security interest in real estate whenever possible, in addition to any other available collateral. This collateral is taken to reinforce the
likelihood of the ultimate repayment of the loan and tends to increase the magnitude of the real estate loan portfolio component.

Residential mortgage loans totaled $27,249,379 at December 31, 2009, compared to $27,517,513 in 2008. Residential real estate loans consist of first and second mortgages on single or multi-family residential dwellings. Nonresidential
mortgage loans which include commercial loans, other loans secured by multi-family properties and farmland totaled $22,856,242 at December 31, 2009 and $23,289,385 in 2008, respectively. Commercial real estate loans are generally viewed as
having more risk of default than residential real estate loans. They are also typically larger than residential real estate loans and consumer loans and depend on cash flows from the owners business or the property to service the debt. Cash
flows may be affected significantly by general economic conditions (including rising interest rates) and a downturn in the local economy or in occupancy rates in the local economy where the property is located could increase the likelihood of
default. Because our loan portfolio contains a number of commercial real estate loans with

relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in our level of non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could
result in a loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the related provision for loan losses and an increase in charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Construction, land development and other land loans totaled $18,036,885 at December 31, 2009 and $17,995,142 in 2008. The demand for
this type of loan has been strong due to the amount of new development in our market area in recent years.

Commercial and
industrial loans totaled $4,158,554 at December 31, 2009 and $4,793,257 in 2008 and comprised 5.68% and 6.35%, respectively, of our total portfolio.

At December 31, 2009, there was one agriculture loan totaling $174,104. The balance on this loan was $850,000 as of December 31, 2008.

Our loan portfolio also includes consumer loans. At December 31, 2009, consumer loans totaled $779,170, compared to $984,411 in 2008, and represented 1.06% and 1.30%,
respectively, of the total loan portfolio on such dates.

We experienced a decrease in loans for the year ended
December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008 due to loan payoffs paired with continued softening in loan demand from qualified applicants. Net loans decreased $1,923,354, or 2.6%, to $72,364,091 for the period.

Our loan portfolio reflects the diversity of our market. Our home office is located in Bluffton, South Carolina. We expanded
our existing loan production office on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, into a full-service branch in October 2007. We believe the diversity of the economy in our market creates opportunities for various types of lending. We do not engage in
foreign lending. Our bank does not originate long-term conventional residential first mortgage loans. In this instance, we serve as a broker and accept mortgage applications. These applications are approved by a third-party provider and the Bank
receives a mortgage brokerage fee for services performed.

The repayment of loans in the loan portfolio as they mature is also
a source of liquidity for us. The following table sets forth our loans maturing within specified intervals at December 31, 2009

The information presented in the above table is based
on the contractual maturities of the 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 their
maturity. Consequently, we believe this treatment presents fairly the maturity and repricing structure of the loan portfolio shown in the above table.

Other attributes of the securities portfolio, including yields and maturities, are discussed above in Net Interest Income Interest Sensitivity.

Short-Term Investments. Short-term investments, which consist primarily of federal funds sold and interest earning deposits with other banks, averaged $102,588
in 2009 and $356,270 in 2008. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, we had no federal funds sold. Federal funds are generally invested in an earning capacity on an overnight basis. Interest earning deposits with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
were $39,401 and $35,203 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

Our primary source for loans and investments is our
deposits. Deposits, and particularly core deposits (which exclude certificates of deposits of $100,000 or more), have been a primary source of funding and have enabled us to meet successfully both our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. Core
deposits provide a relatively stable funding source for our loan portfolio and other earning assets. Our core deposits were $42,765,553 at December 31, 2009 and $47,789,222 in 2008. Competition for core deposits is intense in our market and we
expect the deposit competition to remain in the near future. Our loan-to-deposit ratio was 116.74% and 110.85% at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Of our time deposits over $100,000, 29.10% had
scheduled maturities within three months, 24.92% had maturities after three through six months, 38.51% had maturities after six through twelve months and 7.47% had maturities greater than twelve months. Large certificate of deposit customers may be
extremely sensitive to interest rate levels, making these deposits less reliable sources of funding for liquidity planning purposes than core deposits. At December 31, 2009, $2,737,938 of our time deposits over $100,000 were Certificate of
Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) One-Way Buy deposits and CDARS reciprocal deposits. There were no CDARS deposits as of December 31, 2008. There were no public deposits as of December 31, 2009. At December 31,
2008, $3,700,000 of our time deposits over $100,000 were public deposits secured by pledged investments.

Other
Borrowings.The following table summarizes our borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, there were $17,500,000 in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. There were borrowings totaling
$16,500,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank as of December 31, 2008. These advances are discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements and are secured by a portion of our investment portfolio, our investment in Federal Home Loan Bank
stock and certain commercial and residential loans, including lines of credit. Federal funds are secured and unsecured short-term borrowings from other financial institutions that mature daily. There were no federal funds purchased as of
December 31, 2009. There were $236,500 federal funds purchased as of December 31, 2008. We have also utilized short-term borrowings from the Federal Reserve discount window which are secured by a portion of our lot loan portfolio and a
portion of our investment portfolio. There were two short-term Federal Reserve discount window advances totaling $2,000,000, secured by our lot loan portfolio, as of December 31, 2009. There were no Federal Reserve discount window advances as
of December 31, 2008.

Capital

Total shareholders equity increased $35,222 to $10,005,226 as of December 31, 2009 from $9,970,004 as of
December 31, 2008. The increase is attributable to $1,985,000 in preferred stock capital proceeds from the TARP Capital Purchase Program, net of offering costs, by $879,609 in common stock capital proceeds, net of offering costs and refund of
fractional shares, by $113,626 for stock-based compensation expense offset by the net loss for the period of $2,938,480 and by $4,533 related to the net unrealized losses on securities. The net loss included $1,245,497 in income tax expense recorded
when the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax asset. Although the Company wrote off the majority of its deferred tax asset in 2009, the Bank has always excluded this asset in its risk-based capital calculations.

As
stated previously, we commenced a private placement offering of shares of common stock to certain accredited investors, including members of our board of directors during the third quarter of 2009. In the offering, which concluded on
October 19, 2009, we sold 151,570 shares of common stock at $6.00 per share and received net proceeds, after offering costs, of $879,609.

We also elected to participate in the TARP Capital Purchase Program under EESA. Because of the capital we raised during our initial offering and during our private placement offering and we are still a
relatively new enterprise, our capital ratios are significantly above the well-capital designation as shown in the above table. However, given the current economic conditions and the impact of credit risk as well as any future capital needs, the
board of directors and management concluded that it was prudent for us to participate. The maximum amount of capital for which we were preliminarily approved was $2,003,000 and we elected to participate in the program by selling Treasury preferred
stock for the sum of $2,000,000. We intend to deploy the capital received through the TARP Capital Purchase Program during 2010 and subsequent years to support the capital needs of small-to-medium sized business owners in the Beaufort and Jasper
County areas and to strengthen the Banks capital levels.

On December 29, 2009, we entered into a Letter Agreement
and Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the Purchase Agreement) with Treasury dated December 29, 2009, pursuant to which we issued and sold (i) 2,000 shares of the Companys Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual
Preferred Stock, Series A, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the Series A Preferred Stock), and (ii) a ten-year warrant (the Warrant) to purchase 98 shares of the Companys Fixed Rate Cumulative
Perpetual Stock, Series B, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the Series B Preferred Stock), at an initial exercise price of $0.01, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 in cash. The Warrant was immediately
exercised.

Cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of
5% per annum for the first five years, and at a rate of 9% per annum thereafter, but will be paid only if, as and when declared by the Companys board of directors. The Series A Preferred Stock has no maturity date and ranks senior to
the Companys common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock is generally non-voting.

The Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at par after December 29, 2013. Prior to this date, the Company may redeem the
Series A Preferred Stock at par if (i) the Company has raised aggregate gross proceeds in one or more Qualifying Equity Offerings (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in excess of approximately $500,000, and (ii) the aggregate redemption
price does not exceed the aggregate gross proceeds from such Qualified Equity Offerings. Any redemption is subject to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. However, pursuant to the terms of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009 (the Recovery Act) the Company may, upon consultation with its primary federal regulator, repay the amount received for the Series A Preferred Stock at any time, without regard to whether the Company has replaced such funds from
any source or to any waiting period. Upon repayment of the amount received for the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may also redeem the Series B Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Warrant in accordance with the Recovery Act and any rules
and regulations thereunder.

---

Immediately following the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrant, the
Treasury exercised its rights under the warrant and received 98 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $98,000. Cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock will accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of
9% per annum, but will be paid only if, as, and when declared by the Companys board of directors. The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Companys common stock with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions and
amounts payable upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The Series B Preferred Stock is generally non-voting. Pursuant to the terms of the Recovery Act, the Company may, upon consultation with its primary regulator, repay the
amount received for the Series B Preferred Stock at any time after the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, without regard to whether the Company has replaced such funds from any source or to any waiting period.

Prior to December 13, 2012, unless we have redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock or the Treasury has
transferred the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock to a third party, the consent of the Treasury will be required for us to declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on our common stock. Prior to December 29,
2019, unless we have redeemed the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock or the Treasury has transferred all of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock to a third party, the consent of the Treasury will be
required for us to redeem, purchase or acquire any shares of our common stock or other equity or capital securities of the Company or our subsidiary, other than in connection with benefit plans consistent with past practice and certain other
circumstances specified in the Purchase Agreement.

The Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock were issued
in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Upon the request of the Treasury at any time, the Company has agreed to promptly enter into a deposit arrangement pursuant to
which the Series A Preferred Stock or the Series B Preferred Stock may be deposited and depository shares, representing fractional shares, of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable, may be issued. Neither the Series A
Preferred Stock nor the Series B Preferred Stock is subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer.

The Series A and Series B Preferred
Stock is treated as Tier 1 capital.

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 December 31, 2009, we had issued commitments to extend credit of $9,794,393 through various types of lending arrangements. There were also $212,073
outstanding commercial letters of credit at December 31, 2009.

The following table sets forth the length of time until
maturity for unused commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit at December 31, 2009.

We evaluate each customers credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on its credit evaluation of the
borrower. Collateral varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial and residential real estate. We manage the credit risk on these commitments by subjecting them to normal underwriting and risk
management processes.

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require the payment of a fee. A significant portion of the unfunded commitments relate to consumer equity lines of credit and commercial lines of credit. Based upon historical experience, we anticipate that a portion of these lines of credit will
not be funded.

Except as disclosed in this document, we are not involved in off-balance sheet contractual relationships,
unconsolidated related entities that have off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions that could result in liquidity needs or other commitments that significantly impact earnings.

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 footnotes to the consolidated financial statements
at December 31, 2009 as included in Item 7 of this annual report on Form 10-K. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities.
These accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions used are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature
of the judgments and assumptions, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and 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 the consolidated financial statements. Refer to the portion of the discussion above that addresses the allowance for loan losses for a description of our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses.

Liquidity Management and Capital Resources

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 represents the
ability of us to convert assets into cash or cash equivalents without significant loss and to raise additional funds by increasing liabilities. Without proper liquidity management, we would not be able to perform the primary function of a financial
intermediary and would, therefore, not be able to meet the needs of the communities it serves.

Liquidity management is made
more complex because different balance sheet components are subject to varying degrees of management control. For example, the timing of maturities of the investment portfolio is very predictable and 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 nearly the same degree of control. We also have the ability to obtain funds from various financial institutions should the need
arise.

At December 31, 2009, our liquid assets, consisting of cash and due from banks amounted to $4,402,201 or 4.75% of
total assets. Our investment securities available for sale at December 31, 2009 totaled $12,775,503 or 13.77% of total assets. Unpledged investment securities of $6,785,381 at December 31, 2009 traditionally provide a secondary source of
liquidity since they can be converted to cash in a timely manner. At December 31, 2009, $5,990,122 of our investment securities were pledged as collateral for Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.

Our ability to maintain and expand our deposit base and borrowing capabilities serves as our primary source of liquidity. We plan to meet
our future cash needs through the generation of deposits and through the liquidation of temporary investments. In addition, we will receive cash upon the payments, maturities and sales of loans and investments. As discussed in Note 17 in the
consolidated financial statements, the Company has the ability to obtain additional federal funds in the amount of $3,770,000 as of December 31, 2009. In addition, the Company has the ability to borrow additional funds from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of $923,728, as of December 31, 2009, based upon existing pledged investment and loan collateral. At December 31, 2009, an additional $5,310,000 of credit was also available to the Bank upon the receipt of additional
collateral pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank. At December 31, 2009, the Company also had $6,481,400 available for short term advances at the Discount Window with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. We believe that our existing base
of core deposits, along with growth in our deposit base and borrowing capacity, will enable us to successfully meet our long term liquidity needs.

Impact of Inflation

The effect of relative purchase 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Unlike most industrial companies, the assets and liabilities of financial institutions such as the Bank are primarily monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant effect on the Banks performance than do the
effects of changes in the general rate of inflation and change in prices. In addition, interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. As discussed previously, management
seeks to manage the relationships between interest sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide interest rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors

Atlantic Bancshares, Inc.

Bluffton, South Carolina

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Atlantic Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Atlantic Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary, at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We were not engaged to examine managements assertion about the effectiveness of Atlantic Bancshares, Inc. and
Subsidiarys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

ATLANTIC BANCSHARES, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization - Atlantic Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated to serve as a bank holding company for its subsidiary, Atlantic Community Bank (the Bank). Atlantic Community Bank commenced business on January 26,
2006. The principal business activity of the Bank is to provide banking services to domestic markets, principally in the Beaufort County region of South Carolina. The Bank is a state-chartered commercial bank, and its deposits are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly-owned subsidiary after elimination of all significant intercompany balances and transactions.

Managements Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans, including valuation allowances for impaired loans, the
valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans, and income tax assets and liabilities. In connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management
obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. Management must also make estimates in determining the estimated useful lives and methods for depreciating premises and equipment.

While management does use available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local
economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Companys allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Company to
recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real
estate may change materially in the near term.

Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments, which
potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of loans receivable, investment securities, federal funds sold and amounts due from banks.

The Company makes loans to individuals and small businesses for various personal and commercial purposes primarily in the Beaufort County region of South Carolina. The Companys
loan portfolio is not concentrated in loans to any single borrower or a relatively small number of borrowers. The Company has a concentration of construction, land and land development loans which totaled $18,036,885 at December 31, 2009,
representing 180% of total equity and 25% of net loans receivable.Within this loan category, the collateral, purpose and structure of the loans vary substantially. Historically, economic growth and a low interest rate environment have
created opportunities for land acquisition and development activities in the Companys market area. During fiscal year 2008 and 2009, adverse changes in such factors slowed the absorption of developing projects and moderated market values of
land and developed lots. Management continues to monitor this concentration of credit risk at this time and has considered this concentration in its evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. As of December 31, 2009, the Company identified
four impaired loans totaling $725,644 related to this concentration. The Company experienced losses related to this identified risk totaling $334,915 and $22,729 during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.Management
is not aware of any other concentrations of loans to classes of borrowers or industries that would be similarly affected by these economic conditions.

In addition to monitoring potential concentrations of loans to particular borrowers or groups of borrowers, industries and geographic regions, management monitors exposure to credit risk from
concentrations of lending products and practices such as loans that subject borrowers to substantial payment increases (e.g. principal deferral periods, loans with initial interest-only periods, etc), and loans with high loan-to-value ratios.
Additionally, there are industry



55

practices that could subject the Company to increased credit risk should economic conditions change over the course of a loans life. For example, the Company makes variable rate loans and
fixed rate principal-amortizing loans with maturities prior to the loan being fully paid (i.e. balloon payment loans). These loans are underwritten and monitored to manage the associated risks. Therefore, management believes that these particular
practices do not subject the Company to unusual credit risk.

The Companys investment portfolio consists principally of
obligations of the United States, its agencies or its corporations. In the opinion of management, there is no concentration of credit risk in its investment portfolio. The Company places its deposits with correspondent accounts and sells its federal
funds to high quality institutions. Management believes credit risk associated with correspondent accounts is not significant.

Securities Available for Sale - Securities available for sale are carried at amortized cost and adjusted to estimated market value by recognizing the aggregate unrealized gains or losses in a valuation account. Aggregate
market valuation adjustments are recorded in shareholders equity net of deferred income taxes. Reductions in market value considered by management to be other than temporary are reported as a realized loss and a reduction in the cost basis of
the security. The adjusted cost basis of investments available for sale is determined by specific identification and is used in computing the gain or loss upon sale. Interest income is recognized when earned.

Nonmarketable Equity Securities - Nonmarketable equity securities consist of the cost of the Companys investment in the
stock of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. This stock has no quoted market value and no ready market for it exists.The Company has determined it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of these investments and, accordingly, uses cost
as fair value. Investment in the Federal Home Loan Bank is a condition of borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and the stock is pledged to collateralize such borrowings. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Companys investment in
Federal Home Loan Bank stock was $1,003,600 and $891,200, respectively.Dividends are recognized when paid by the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Loans Receivable - Loans are stated at their unpaid principal balance adjusted for unamortized premiums and unearned discounts and deferred loans fees and costs. Interest income is computed
based upon the unpaid principal balance and is recorded in the period earned.

When serious doubt exists as to the
collectability of a loan or when a loan becomes contractually 90 days past due as to principal or interest, recognition of interest income is generally discontinued unless the estimated net realizable value of collateral exceeds the unpaid principal
balance and accrued interest. When recognition of interest income is discontinued, interest earned but not collected since the last payment received is reversed.

Loans are charged off when the amount of loss is reasonably quantifiable and the loss is likely to occur. Interest payments received after a loan is placed in nonaccrual are applied as a principal
reduction until such time as the loan is returned to accrual status. Generally, loans are returned to accrual status when the loan is brought current and the ultimate collectability of principal and interest is no longer in doubt. The amount of
unrecognized interest income on nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2009 and 2008 is $91,703 and $56,324, respectively.

Impairment of a loan is measured based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, at the loans observable market price or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan
is collateral dependent. A specific reserve, if deemed necessary, is set up for each impaired loan. Accrual of interest income on impaired loans is suspended when, in managements judgment, doubt exists as to the collectability of principal and
interest. Loans are not considered impaired if a minimal payment delay occurs and all amounts due, including accrued interest at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay, are expected to be collected. If amounts are received on impaired
or restructured loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued, a determination is made as to whether payments received should be recorded as a reduction of the principal balance or as interest income depending on managements
judgment as to the collectability of principal. The loan is returned to accrual status when, in managements judgment, the borrower has demonstrated the ability to make periodic interest and principal payments on a timely basis.

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs (principally salaries and employee benefits) are deferred and
amortized to income over the contractual life of the related loans or commitments, adjusted for prepayments, using a method approximating a level yield.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The provision for loan losses charged to operating
expenses reflects the amount deemed appropriate by management to establish an adequate reserve to meet the probable loan losses incurred in the current loan portfolio. Managements judgment is based on periodic and regular evaluation of
individual loans, the overall risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, and prevailing economic conditions. Loans that are determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. Provisions for loan losses and recoveries on
loans previously charged off are added to the allowance.

While management uses the best information available to make
evaluations, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. The allowance for loan losses is subject to periodic evaluation by various regulatory authorities and
may be subject to adjustment upon examination.

Premises, Furniture and Equipment - Premises, furniture and
equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is computed by the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives for furniture and equipment of 3 to 10 years and software of 1 year. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the lesser of the assets useful life or the life of the lease. The cost of assets sold or otherwise disposed of and the related allowance for depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gains
or losses are reflected in the income statement when incurred. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current expense. The costs of major renewals and improvements are capitalized.

Other Real Estate Owned  Other real estate owned includes real estate acquired through foreclosure and by deed in lieu of foreclosure. Other real estate owned is
initially recorded at the lower of fair value less estimated selling costs or cost. Any write-downs at the dates of transfer are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Expenses to maintain such assets, subsequent write-downs, and gains and losses
on disposal are included in other expense.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are the sum of amounts currently payable
to taxing authorities and the net changes in income taxes payable or refundable in future years. Income taxes deferred to future years are determined utilizing a liability approach. This method gives consideration to the future tax consequences
associated with differences between financial accounting and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities which are principally the allowance for loan losses, depreciable premises and equipment, and the net operating loss carry forward.

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 an 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 tax positions have been recorded.

Advertising Expense - Advertising and public relations costs are
generally expensed as incurred and are included in marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. External costs incurred in producing media advertising are expensed the first time the advertising takes place. External
costs relating to direct mailing costs are expensed in the period in which the direct mailings are sent.

Loss Per
Share - Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of
common shares and potential common shares outstanding. Potential common share equivalents consist of stock options and warrants determined using the treasury stock method and the average market price of the common stock. At December 31, 2009
and 2008, there were no dilutive stock options or warrants.

Stock-Based Compensation - Compensation expense is
recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the fair value provisions of the accounting literature. There were no stock option awards granted in 2009.

In calculating the compensation expense for stock options, the fair value of options granted is estimated as of the date granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions was used for grants in 2008: dividend yield of 0 percent; expected volatility of 20.57% based on forecasted future volatility because there is limited historical data available; risk-free interest rates that range from
3.17% to 3.20% based on a risk free rate of return corresponding to the estimated life of the option; and expected life of 7.50 years using the simplified method because there is no historical data available. For purposes of this
calculation, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The Companys shareholder approved stock option plan provides for stock options to be
granted primarily to directors, officers, and key employees. Options granted under the stock option plan may be incentive stock options or non-incentive stock options. Stock option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to, or in
excess of, the market price of the Companys shares at the date of grant. Options vest ratably over a five-year period and expire after ten years from the date of grant. Stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change
in control, as defined in the stock option plan. The remaining shares of stock reserved under the option plan at December 31, 2009 amounted to approximately 158,002 shares.

The Company intends to issue authorized but previously unissued shares to satisfy option exercises.

Comprehensive Income  Accounting principles generally require that recognized income, expense, gains, and losses be recorded 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.

Statement of Cash Flows  For purposes of reporting cash flows in the financial statements, the Company
considers certain highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments  In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into
off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. These financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable by the customer.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - The following is a summary of recent authoritative pronouncements that may affect
accounting, reporting, and disclosure of financial information by the Company:

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance which restructured generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and simplified access to all authoritative literature by providing a single source of authoritative nongovernmental
GAAP. The guidance is presented in a topically organized structure referred to as the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The new structure is effective for interim or annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All
existing accounting standards have been superseded and all other accounting literature not included is considered nonauthoritative.

The FASB issued new accounting guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets in June 2009. The guidance limits the circumstances in which a financial asset should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire
financial asset by taking into consideration the transferors continuing involvement. The standard requires that a transferor recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained (including a transferors beneficial interest)
and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale. The concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer applicable. The standard is effective for the first annual reporting period that begins
after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within the first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not expect the guidance to have any impact on
the Companys financial statements.

Guidance was issued in June 2009 requiring a company to analyze whether its interest
in a variable interest entity (VIE) gives it a controlling financial interest that should be included in consolidated financial statements. A company must assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that the VIE
operates as designed when determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that significantly impact its economic performance, making it the primary beneficiary. Ongoing reassessments of whether a company is the primary
beneficiary are also required by the standard. This guidance amends the criteria to qualify as a primary beneficiary as well as how to determine the existence of a VIE. The standard also eliminates certain exceptions that were previously available.
This guidance is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual
reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. Comparative disclosures will be required for periods after the effective date. The Company does not expect the guidance to have any impact on the Companys financial position.

An update was issued in October, 2009 to provide guidance requiring companies to allocate
revenue in multi-element arrangements. Under this guidance, products or services (deliverables) must be accounted for separately rather than as a combined unit utilizing a selling price hierarchy to determine the selling price of a deliverable. The
selling price is based on vendor-specific evidence, third-party evidence or estimated selling price. The amendments in the update are effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on
or after June 15, 2010 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the update to have an impact on its financial statements.

In October, 2009, updated guidance was issued to provide for accounting and reporting for own-share lending arrangements issued in contemplation of a convertible debt issuance. At the date of issuance, a
share-lending arrangement entered into on an entitys own shares should be measured at fair value in accordance with prior guidance and recognized as an issuance cost, with an offset to additional paid-in capital. Loaned shares are excluded
from basic and diluted earnings per share unless default of the share-lending arrangement occurs. The amendment also requires several disclosures including a description and the terms of the arrangement and the reason for entering into the
arrangement. The effective dates of the amendment are dependent upon the date the share-lending arrangement was entered into and include retrospective application for arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after
December 15, 2009. The Company has no plans to issue convertible debt and, therefore, does not expect the update to have an impact on its financial statements.

In January, 2010, guidance was issued to alleviate diversity in the accounting for distributions to shareholders that allow the shareholder to elect to receive their entire distribution in cash or shares
but with a limit on the aggregate amount of cash to be paid. The amendment states that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or shares with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash
that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and had no impact on the Companys financial
statements.

Also in January, 2010, an amendment was issued to clarify the scope of subsidiaries for consolidation purposes.
The amendment provides that the decrease in ownership guidance should apply to (1) a subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity, (2) a subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity that is transferred to
an equity method investee or joint venture, and (3) an exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a noncontrolling interest in an entity. The guidance does not apply to a decrease in ownership in
transactions related to sales of in substance real estate or conveyances of oil and gas mineral rights. The update is effective for the interim or annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and had no impact on the
Companys financial statements.

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.

Risks and Uncertainties  In the normal course of its business, the Company encounters two significant types of risks: economic and regulatory. There are three main components of
economic risk: interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different speeds, or on different bases, than its interest-earning
assets. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Companys loan portfolio that results from borrowers inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of collateral underlying
loans receivable and the valuation of real estate held by the Company.

The Company is subject to the regulations of various
governmental agencies. These regulations can and do change significantly from period to period. The Company also undergoes periodic examinations by the regulatory agencies, which may subject it to further changes with respect to asset valuations,
amounts of required loss allowances and operating restrictions from the regulators judgments based on information available to them at the time of their examination.

Reclassifications  Certain captions and amounts in the 2008 financial statements were reclassified to conform with the 2009 presentation, with no effect on net
loss or equity.

Deferred tax assets represent the future tax benefit
of deductible differences and, if it is more likely than not that a tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the recorded deferred tax assets to net realizable value. During the year ended December 31, 2009,
management has recorded a partial valuation allowance in the amount of $1,788,548 associated with deferred tax assets from continuing operations. The decision was made to record the valuation allowance in consideration of the lack of an established
earnings history. Based on managements projections, the remaining net deferred tax asset will be recognized.

The
Company has a net operating loss for Federal income tax purposes of $4,523,614 as of December 31, 2009. This net operating loss begins to expire in the year 2026.

A reconciliation between the income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the Federal statutory rate of 34% for 2009 and 2008 to income before income taxes follows:

The Company has analyzed the tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns and concluded it has no liability related to uncertain tax positions. The Companys policy is to classify any interest or penalties recognized as interest expense or noninterest expense,
respectively. Years ended December 31, 2006 through December 31, 2008 remain open for audit for all major jurisdictions.

NOTE 12  BENEFIT PLAN

Effective October 9, 2009, the Company suspended its matching contribution for a defined contribution plan established during fiscal 2007. The plan covers substantially all
employees. Prior to October 9, 2009, the Company had contributed a matching contribution of 100% of employee salary deferral contributions up to 3% of salary, plus 50% of employee salary deferral contributions from 3% to 5% of salary for the
plan year.

Matching contribution expense was $34,802 and $49,762 for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 13 - LEASES

The Company has
entered into various lease agreements which are more fully described below.

On January 1, 2007, the Company opened a
loan production office on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. This location was converted to a full-service branch on October 26, 2007. The leased facility was sold in August 2007 to a limited liability corporation owned primarily by directors
of the Company. The Company entered into a new lease agreement beginning August 1, 2007 for a minimum of ten years. The lease agreement provides for two ten year renewal terms. Monthly rental expense for the first two years of the lease is
$2,000. At the end of the second year of the initial term, and at the end of each subsequent two year period and of any renewal term of this lease, the base rent may be adjusted according to the provisions in the lease. There were no adjustments to
monthly rental expense for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The Company has assumed liability for a lease agreement for
an automobile. The lease terms call for monthly payments of $400. On January 3, 2008, this lease was extended for an additional year with the same lease payment, terms and conditions contained in the original agreement. On August 21, 2008,
the Company exchanged the leased automobile and entered into a new lease agreement on the new automobile. The lease terms call for monthly payments of $400 and expire on August 20, 2011.

The Bank entered into a lease agreement on February 5, 2008 for a minimum term of fifteen years, ending on December 31, 2022. The lease agreement provides for two five year
renewal terms. Monthly rental expense for the first year of the lease is $9,572. At the end of the first year of the initial term, and at the end of each subsequent year, the base rent will be adjusted according to the provisions in the lease. A
Commercial Lease Addendum was signed on March 25, 2008 which adjusted the monthly rental expense for the first year of the lease to $8,993. The Addendum also adjusted the monthly base rent due after the first year for the duration of the lease.
This space consolidated the existing main branch location and the Operations Department in July 2008.

Rental expense for the
year ending December 31, 2009 totaled $238,501. Rental expense for the year ending December 31, 2008 totaled $220,934.

Under these assumptions, minimum future rental payments under non-cancelable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year for each of the next five years in the aggregate are:



|     |  |   |        
|---- |  | - | -------
|2010 |  | $ | 189,897
|2011 |  | $ | 144,979
|2012 |  | $ | 145,454
|2013 |  | $ | 149,097
|2014 |  | $ | 152,856

NOTE 14SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY

Common Stock.During the third quarter of 2009, the Company commenced a
private placement offering of shares of common stock to certain accredited investors, including members of our board of directors. In the offering, which concluded on October 19, 2009, the Company sold 151,570 shares of common stock and
received gross proceeds of $909,420, which will be used to support the growth of the Company. The private placement offering was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated
thereunder. No sales commissions were paid in the offering and costs associated with the offering totaling $29,811 were netted against the proceeds.

Preferred Stock.The United States Department of the Treasurys Capital
Purchase Program (Capital Purchase Program), implemented as part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Acts (EESA) Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) afforded viable financial institutions the
opportunity to fortify their capital positions by selling preferred shares to the Treasury. The Company was approved on November 25, 2009 to participate in the Capital Purchase Program, and on December 29, 2009, the Company entered into a
Capital Purchase Program Purchase Agreement with the Treasury. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to the Treasury 2,000 shares of its newly designated Series A Preferred shares, liquidation preference $1,000 per share, and a warrant to
purchase approximately 98 shares of the Companys newly designated Series B Preferred shares, liquidation preference $1,000 per share, for $2,000,000. The Treasury immediately exercised the warrant for nominal consideration, resulting in the
Company issuing to the Treasury the 98 shares of the Series B Preferred shares underlying the warrant. The proceeds from this transaction qualify as Tier 1 capital under the regulatory capital guidelines.

The Companys total cost to redeem the Series A Preferred shares will be equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the
Series A Preferred shares, $2,000,000, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. The Companys total cost to redeem the Series B Preferred shares will be equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred shares, $98,000,
plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

The Series A and Series B Preferred shares are senior to shares of our common stock
with respect to dividends and liquidation preference. Under the terms of the Series A Preferred shares, the Company is obligated to pay a 5% per annum cumulative dividend on the liquidation preference of the preferred shares until
December 29, 2014 and thereafter at a rate of 9% per annum. As long as shares of the Series A and Series B Preferred shares remain outstanding, the Company may not pay dividends to its common shareholders unless all accrued and unpaid
dividends on the preferred shares have been paid in full. In addition, the Company may not repurchase or redeem, without the Treasurys prior approval, any shares of its common stock or other securities that are junior to the Series A and
Series B Preferred shares.

Unless the Company redeems all of the Series A and Series B Preferred shares, or the Treasury has
transferred all of the Series A and Series B Preferred shares to unaffiliated third parties, the following restrictions apply:



| |  |  | Prior to December 29, 2012, the consent of the Treasury will be required, among other things, prior to the Company increasing the amount of
dividends paid on our common stock.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | After December 29, 2012 and thereafter until December 29, 2019, the consent of the Treasury will be required, among other things, prior to
the Company increasing in the aggregate common stock dividends per share greater than 3% per annum.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | After December 29, 2019, the consent of Treasury will be required, among other things, prior to the Company paying any dividends on common
stock.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If dividends on the preferred shares are not paid in full for six dividend periods, whether or not
consecutive, the Treasury will have the right to elect two directors to our Board of Directors until all unpaid cumulative dividends are paid in full.

The Company may redeem in whole or in parts representing not less than 25% of the original total liquidation preference, the Series A Preferred shares at any time upon the receipt of regulatory approval.

The terms of the Series B Preferred shares are identical to those described above for the Series A Preferred shares except
that (i) the dividend rate on the Series B is 9% per annum and (ii) the Series B Preferred shares may not be redeemed unless all of the Series A Preferred shares has been redeemed.

NOTE 15- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain parties (principally certain directors and executive officers of the Company, their immediate families and business interests) were loan customers of and had other transactions in the normal
course of business with the Company. Related party loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as



67



---

those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had
related party loans totaling $2,566,508. Advances made totaled $415,154 and repayments totaled $575,700 during the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company had related party loans totaling $2,727,054 as of December 31, 2008. Advances made
totaled $3,855,629 and repayments totaled $3,822,702 during the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively.

Deposits by
directors, including their affiliates and executive officers, at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $10,274,103 and $7,839,413, respectively.

One of the leases described in Note 13 is with a limited liability corporation that is owned primarily by the directors of the Company. The expense associated with this lease totaled $36,839 and $36,439
for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE 16 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits which arise primarily in the ordinary course of business. Management is not aware of any legal
proceedings which would have a material adverse effect on the financial position or operating results of the Company.

NOTE
17- LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Due to the net
loss, there were no dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during 2009 or 2008; therefore, basic loss per share and diluted earnings per share were the same.

NOTE 18 - REGULATORY MATTERS

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct adverse material effect on the Banks financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. The Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank 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 consists of common shareholders equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities available-for-sale, minus certain intangible assets.
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 and 8% for total risk-based capital.

The Bank is also required to maintain capital at a minimum level based on total
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.



68



---

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank exceeded its minimum regulatory capital
ratios, as well as the ratios to be considered well-capitalized.

As of the most recent regulatory examination,
the Bank was deemed well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table
below. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the Banks categories.

The following
table summarizes the capital amounts and ratios of the Bank and the regulatory minimum requirements at December 31, 2009 and 2008:

NOTE 19- LINES OF CREDIT

As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had unsecured lines of credit to purchase federal funds from unrelated banks
totaling $3,770,000. As of December 31, 2009, there was no balance outstanding on any line of credit. The lenders have reserved the right to withdraw the unsecured lines at their option. These lines of credit are available on various structures
for general corporate purposes.

At December 31, 2009, the Bank had remaining available credit from the Federal Home Loan
Bank totaling $923,728 based upon existing pledged investment and loan collateral. At December 31, 2009, an additional $5,310,000 of credit was also available to the Bank upon the receipt of additional collateral pledged to the Federal Home
Loan Bank.

As of December 31, 2009, the Bank had $8,481,400 of total lendable collateral available for short-term
advances at the Discount Window. Lot loans totaling $10,895,997 were pledged to Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond which produced lendable collateral value totaling $2,941,919 and $5,462,188 of securities was in safekeeping at the Federal Reserve Bank
of Richmond which produced lendable collateral value totaling $5,539,481. For advances with maturities of 28 days or less, the total lendable collateral value was available to the Bank. Seventy-five percent of the Banks lendable collateral
value was available for advances with maturities from 29 to 90 days. The rate on the advances from the Discount Window is the Federal Reserve Discount Window rate. Advances from the Federal Reserve Discount Window are not subject to prepayment
penalties. As of December 31, 2009, there were short-term advances totaling $2,000,000 from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

NOTE 20 - RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSIDIARY DIVIDENDS, LOANS, OR ADVANCES

The ability of the Company to pay
cash dividends to shareholders is dependent upon receiving cash in the form of dividends from its banking subsidiary. However, certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of the subsidiary to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends to the
Company. State chartered banks are authorized to pay cash dividends up to 100% of net income in any calendar year without obtaining the prior approval of the South Carolina



69



---

Board of Financial Institutions provided that the Bank received a composite rating of one or two at the last examination conducted by the State or Federal regulatory authority. Otherwise, the
Bank must file an income and expense report and obtain the specific approval of the SCBFI.

Under Federal Reserve Board
regulations, the amount of loans or advances from the banking subsidiary to the parent company is also restricted as discussed in Note 4.

NOTE 21 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

The Company is a party to 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 party 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 letters of credit varies but
may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, equipment and income-producing commercial properties.

The
following table summarizes the Banks off-balance-sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk at December 31:

NOTE 22  FAIR VALUE ASSUMPTIONS OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the asset or obligation could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments.
Because no market value exists for a significant portion of the financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial
instruments, and other factors.

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

Cash and Due from Banks - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities Available for Sale - Investment 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, U.S. 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 entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as
Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

---

Nonmarketable Equity Securities - The carrying value of nonmarketable equity
securities approximates the fair value since no ready market exists for the stocks.

Loans Receivable - Loans
receivable are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. However, form time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses 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 agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management will measure impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of
several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, its liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected
repayments of collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. At December 31, 2009, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of collateral. Impaired loans where an allowance is established
based on the fair value of the 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, management records the impaired 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, management records the impaired loan as
nonrecurring Level 3.

Foreclosed Assets - Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to
foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon individual 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, management 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, management records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

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.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank - The fair value 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.

Federal Funds Purchased - Federal funds purchased are for a term of one day, and the carrying amount approximates the fair value.

Advances from the Federal Reserve Bank  Federal Reserve Bank advances are for a term of up to 28 days, and the carrying amount approximates the fair value.

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

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments - The carrying amount for loan commitments and standby letters of credit which
are off-balance-sheet financial instruments approximates the fair value since the obligations are typically based on current market rates.

The Company has used managements best estimate of fair value based on the above assumptions. Thus, the fair values presented may not be the amounts that could be realized in an immediate sale or
settlement of the instrument. In addition, any income taxes or other expenses, which would be incurred in an actual sale or settlement, are not taken into consideration in the fair value presented.

Generally accepted
accounting principles provide a framework for measuring and disclosing fair value. Required disclosures include the fair value of assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet in periods subsequent to initial recognition and 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).

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the exchange 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. They also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:



|        |  |

|Level 2 |  | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
|Level 3 |  | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market
activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.                                                                                         

Assets and liabilities

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure

None.

Item 9A(T).  Controls and Procedures

As of the end
of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our current disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of
December 31, 2009. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The design of any system of controls and procedures
is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Managements Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rules 15d-15(f). A system
of internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the
principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on the criteria established in a report entitled
Internal Control  Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and the interpretive guidance issued by the Commission in Release No. 34-55929. Based on this evaluation,
our management has evaluated and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.

We are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations and of our internal controls. This results in modifications to processes throughout the Company. However, there
has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting
firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that
permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.

Item 9B.  Other Information.

None.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee has five members  Directors Gary C. Davis, Frederick Anthony Nimmer, III, Mark S. Simpson, Brian
J. Smith, and Edgar L. Woods (chair). None of the current members of the audit committee nor any other member of our board qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined under the rules of the SEC. As a relatively small
public company, it is difficult to identify potential qualified candidates that are willing to serve on our board and otherwise meet our requirements for service. At the present, we do not know if or when we will appoint a new board member that
qualifies as an audit committee financial expert. Although none of audit committee members qualify as financial experts as defined in the SEC rules, each of our members has made

valuable contributions to the Company and its shareholders as members of the audit committee. The board has determined that each member is fully qualified to monitor the performance of
management, the public disclosures by the Company of its financial condition and performance, our internal accounting operations, and our independent auditors.

The audit committee functions are set forth in its charter, which was most recently adopted on January 27, 2010. A copy of the audit charter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1
and incorporated herein by reference. The audit committee has the responsibility for reviewing financial statements, evaluating internal accounting controls, reviewing reports of regulatory authorities, and determining that all audits and
examinations required by law are performed. The committee recommends to the board the appointment of the independent auditors for the next fiscal year, reviews and approves the auditors audit plans, and reviews with the independent auditors
the results of the audit and managements responses. The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the entire audit function and appraising the effectiveness of internal and external audit efforts. The audit committee reports its findings
to the board of directors.

Our board of directors has implemented a process for shareholders of the Company
to send communications to the board. Any shareholder desiring to communicate with the board, or with specific individual directors, may so do by writing to the secretary of the Company, at Atlantic Bancshares, Inc., PO Box 3077, Bluffton, South
Carolina 29910. The secretary has been instructed by the board to promptly forward all such communications to the addressees indicated thereon.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive
officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics is available without charge to shareholders upon request. Shareholders should contact Mark S. Simpson,
Secretary, at our main office to obtain a copy.

Employment Agreements

Robert P. Trask. In February 2008, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Trask to serve as president and chief executive officer of Atlantic Bancshares and
Atlantic Community Bank. Unless it is terminated earlier, Mr. Trasks employment agreement provides a three year term of employment which automatically extends for additional three year renewal terms unless written notice is given by
either party 60 days prior to the termination date. The initial base salary for Mr. Trask will be $135,000, which amount is subject to annual review by the board of directors and may be increased. Mr. Trask will be eligible to receive
bonuses if he meets the goals set forth annually for him by the board of directors. Furthermore, Mr. Trask will be eligible for our long-term equity incentive program and for the grant of stock options, restricted stock and other similar
awards. Mr. Trask will be provided with membership fees and annual dues not to exceed $1,000 for an area country club and an automobile (including all related expenses) as well as a life insurance policy for the benefit of his spouse and heirs.
Mr. Trask is entitled to participation in our retirement, health, dental, welfare and other benefit plans and programs applicable to employees generally or to senior executives.

Mr. Trasks employment agreement may be terminated for death, disability and with or without cause by us or by
Mr. Trask. If we terminate Mr. Trask without cause, we will make a lump sum payment to Mr. Trask in an amount equal to his then current monthly base salary multiplied by 24 plus any bonus earned or accrued through the date of
termination. Definitions of the term cause and disability are contained in Mr. Trasks employment agreement.

Upon the occurrence of a change in control, and regardless of whether Mr. Trask remains employed by us or our successor following a change in control, Mr. Trask is entitled to a lump sum cash
payment in an amount equal to his then current monthly base salary multiplied by 36 plus any bonus earned or accrued through the date of change in control. In addition, for a period of 36 months following change in control, Mr. Trask will
receive payment of premiums for medical and dental insurance, disability insurance, and life insurance being provided to him prior to the change in control or to other similarly situated executives who continue their employment with us. Also, any
restrictions on any outstanding incentive awards (including restricted stock) granted to Mr. Trask under any incentive plan or arrangement will lapse and such incentive award or awards will immediately become 100% percent vested; all stock
options and stock appreciation rights granted to Mr. Trask will become immediately exercisable and will become 100% vested; and any performance units granted to Mr. Trask will become 100% vested. A detailed definition of the term
change in control is contained in Mr. Trasks employment agreement.

The parties intend
that the severance payments and other compensation provided for in Mr. Trasks employment agreement to be reasonable compensation for Mr. Trasks service to us and shall not constitute excess parachute payments within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. However, if our independent accountants determine that the payments provided in his employment agreement constitute excess parachute payments, then the compensation paid
shall be increased, on a tax gross-up basis, so as to reimburse Mr. Trask for the tax payable by him on such excess parachute payments.

Mr. Trasks employment agreement also contains provisions relating to non-solicitation of customers and personnel and non-competition during the term of employment and 12 months thereafter, as
well as a provision relating to the protection of confidential information and trade secrets. These non-solicitation and non-compete provisions do not apply following a change of control.

Todd D. Hoke. In February 2008, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Hoke to serve as executive vice president and chief credit officer of Atlantic
Bancshares and Atlantic Community Bank. The initial base salary for Mr. Hoke will be $105,000, which amount is subject to annual review by the board of directors and may be increased. Mr. Hoke will be eligible to receive bonuses if he
meets the goals set forth annually for him by the board of directors. Furthermore, Mr. Hoke will be eligible for our long-term equity incentive program and for the grant of stock options, restricted stock and other similar awards. We will pay
membership fees and annual dues for various civic organizations subject to approval by our chief executive officer. Mr. Hoke shall also have available

an automobile allowance, dental and health insurance, disability insurance, retirement benefits and such other benefits or plans applicable to our employees generally or to our senior executives.
The provisions in Mr. Hokes employment agreement regarding the term and termination of employment, benefits payable upon change of control, and Section 280G gross-up payments as well as the confidentiality, non-solicitation and
non-compete provisions are identical to those described above for Mr. Trasks February 2008 employment agreement.

Michelle M. Pennell.In February 2008, we entered into a new employment agreement with Ms. Pennell to serve as executive vice president and chief financial officer of Atlantic Bancshares and Atlantic Community Bank. The initial
base salary for Ms. Pennell will be $110,000, which amount is subject to annual review by the board of directors and may be increased. The provisions in Ms. Pennells employment agreement regarding perquisites, term and termination of
employment, benefits payable upon change of control, and Section 280G gross-up payments as well as the confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-compete provisions are identical to those described above for Mr. Hokes February 2008
employment agreement.

Karen B. Sprague. In February 2008, we entered into a new employment agreement with
Ms. Sprague to serve as executive vice president and chief operating officer of Atlantic Bancshares and Atlantic Community Bank. The initial base salary for Ms. Sprague will be $95,000, which amount is subject to annual review by the board
of directors and may be increased. The provisions in Ms. Spragues employment agreement regarding perquisites, term and termination of employment, benefits payable upon change of control, and Section 280G gross-up payments as well as
the confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-compete provisions are identical to those described above for Mr. Hokes February 2008 employment agreement.

pursuant to which the named executive officer agreed that, notwithstanding the terms of his or her employment agreement or other Company benefit plans, so long as Treasury holds an equity or debt position in the Company, he or she:

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

We enter into banking and other transactions in the ordinary course of business with our directors and officers and their
affiliates. It is our policy that these transactions are on substantially the same terms (including price, or interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties. We do not expect these
transactions to involve more than the normal risk of collectability nor present other unfavorable features to us. Loans to individual directors and officers must also comply with our banks lending policies and statutory lending limits, and
directors with a personal interest in any loan application are excluded from the consideration of the loan application. We intend for all of our transactions with our affiliates to be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from an
unaffiliated third party and to be approved by a majority of disinterested directors.

On January 1, 2006
we opened a loan production office on the south end of Hilton Head Island. In October 2007, this location was converted into a full service branch. We leased a facility at 1 Corpus Christi Place, Suite 108, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina that
has a total of 1,837 square feet for a period of one year with a one-year option to renew. In August 2006, the organizers of the Company, along with other non-organizers, formed a separate corporate entity which purchased this location that we
lease. The current lease is for a minimum of 10 years and provides two 10-year renewal terms.

Our board of
directors has determined that Mr. Davis, Mr. Nimmer, Ms. Shirley, Mr. Simpson, Dr. Smith, Mr. Ward and Mr. Woods are independent directors, based upon the independence criteria set forth in the
corporate governance listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market, the exchange that we selected in order to determine whether its directors and committee members meet the independence criteria of a national securities exchange, as required by
Item 407(a) of Regulation S-K.

Our board of directors has created an audit committee, a nominating
committee and a compensation committee of the board. The board of directors has determined that the members of each of these committees are independent as contemplated in the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

Oversight of Accountants; Approval of Accounting Fees.Under the provisions of its
charter, the audit committee is responsible for the retention, compensation, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors. The charter provides that the audit committee must pre-approve the fees paid for the audit. The policy
specifically prohibits certain non-audit services that are prohibited by securities laws from being provided by an independent auditor. All of the accounting services and fees reflected in the table above were reviewed and approved by the audit
committee, and none of the services were performed by individuals who were not employees of the independent auditor.
