             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for
         SouthBanc Shares, Inc. ("Company") were prepared in accordance with
         instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
         disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial
         condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with
         generally accepted accounting principles. All adjustments, consisting
         only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of
         management, necessary for fair presentation of the interim consolidated
         financial statements have been included. The results of operations for
         the period ended December 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of
         the results that may be expected for the entire year. These
         consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures
         required by generally accepted accounting principles and should be read
         in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
         statements and related notes for the year ended September 30, 1999.

2.   Principles of Consolidation
     ---------------------------

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include
         the accounts of the Company, Perpetual Bank, A Federal Savings Bank,
         ("Savings Bank"), and the Savings Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries,
         Mortgage First Service Corporation and United Service Corporation, and
         United Service Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, United Investment
         Services.

         United Service Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Savings
         Bank. At December 31, 1999, United Service had assets of $2.5 million.
         United Service is involved in two residential and two commercial real
         estate development projects.

         All significant intercompany items and transactions have been
         eliminated in consolidation.

3.   Payment of Dividends
     --------------------

         The payment of dividends by the Company depends primarily on the
         ability of the Savings Bank to pay dividends to the Company. The
         payment of dividends by the Savings Bank is subject to regulation by
         the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). The Savings Bank may not
         declare or pay a cash dividend if the effect thereof would cause the
         capital of the Savings Bank to be reduced below regulatory capital
         requirements imposed by the OTS or below the liquidation account
         established by the Savings Bank in connection with the conversion of
         the Savings Bank's former mutual holding company (SouthBanc Shares,
         M.H.C.) from the mutual to stock form of organization.

         The Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.15 per
         share to its shareholders during the quarter ended December 31, 1999,
         payable to shareholders of record as of January 4, 2000.

4.   Earnings Per Share
     ------------------

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
         issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 specifies the
         computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per
         share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock or potential
         common stock such as options, warrants, convertible securities or
         contingent stock agreements if those securities trade in a public
         market. This standard

4.   Earnings Per Share (Continued)
     ------------------------------

         specifies computation and presentation requirements for both basic EPS
         and, for entities with complex capital structures, diluted EPS. Basic
         earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
         average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is
         similar to the computation of basic earnings per share except that the
         denominator is increased to include the number of additional common
         shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential
         common shares had been issued. The dilutive effect of options
         outstanding under the Company's stock option plan is reflected in
         diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.
         SFAS No. 128 is effective for reporting periods ending after December
         15, 1997. The Company adopted SFAS No. 128 during the quarter ended
         December 31, 1997. Accordingly, all prior period earnings per share
         have been restated for the purchase of Treasury Stock.

Provisions for Loan Losses
--------------------------

Provisions for loan losses are charges to earnings to bring the total allowance
for loan losses to a level considered adequate by management to provide for
management's best estimate of inherent loan losses. In determining the adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses, management evaluates various factors including
the market value of the underlying collateral, growth, and composition of the
loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding
loans, loss experience, delinquency trends and economic conditions. Management
evaluates the carrying value of loans periodically, and the allowance for loan
losses is adjusted accordingly.

The provision for loan losses increased 87.5% or $70,000 to $150,000 for the
three months ended December 31, 1999, from $80,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1998, due to an increase in non-performing assets during the
quarter ended December 31, 1999.

Non-performing assets at December 31, 1999, were $2.7 million consisting of
$456,000 of residential mortgage construction loans, $208,000 of real estate
acquired in settlement of loans, $905,000 of single family residential loans,
$909,000 of a commercial real estate loan, $124,000 of commercial loans, and
$95,000 of consumer loans.

Non-performing assets at September 30, 1999, were $2.6 million consisting of
$88,000 of residential mortgage construction loans, $208,000 of real estate
acquired in settlement of loans, $1,184,000 of single family residential loans,
$873,000 of a commercial real estate loans, $126,000 of commercial loans, and
$86,000 of consumer loans.

The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.02% at December 31, 1999, and
1.01% at September 30, 1999.

Other Income
------------

Total other income decreased 13.0% or $195,000 to $1.3 million for the three
months ended December 31, 1999, from $1.5 million for the three months ended
December 31, 1998. Loan and deposit service charges increased $119,000 to
$998,000 from $879,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998, as a result
of an increase to the fee structure of deposit accounts. Gain (loss) on sale of
investments was a loss of $95,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999,
compared to a gain of $292,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998.
Loss on sale of real estate acquired in settlement of loans was a loss of $5,000
for the three months ended December 31, 1999, compared to a loss of $2,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 1998.

There was no gain on sale of loans for the three months ended December 31, 1999,

Service Corporation in The Meadows residential subdivision compared to $36,000
for the three months ended December 31, 1998, as two residential lots were sold
in The Meadows. Other income increased $107,000 to $250,000 for the three months
ended

Other Income - Continued
------------------------

December 31, 1999, compared to $143,000 for the three months ended December 31,

General and Administrative Expense
----------------------------------

Salaries and employee benefits increased 11.13% or $128,000 to $1.3 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1999, from $1.2 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1998, due to the expense of the 1999 Management Recognition
Plan (MRP). Office occupancy increased 6.67% or $8,000 to $128,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1999, from $120,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1998, due to a increase in building maintenance. Furniture and
equipment expenses decreased 6.82% or $18,000 to $246,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1999, from $264,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1998, due to decreases in depreciation expense and equipment maintenance
expense. Advertising increased 9.30% or $4,000 to $47,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1999, from $43,000 for the three months ended December 31,
1998. Data processing increased 16.51% or $18,000 to $127,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1999, from $109,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1998, as a result of increased volume and cost of ATM and debit
card processing. Office supplies increased 121.28% or $57,000 to $104,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 1999, from $47,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 1998, due to a increase in the purchase of data processing
supplies. The profit improvement program expense increased 6.06% or $4,000 to
$70,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 from $66,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1998, based on increased deposit service charges.
Other operating expenses decreased 1.37% or $4,000 to $287,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1999, from $291,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1998.

Income Taxes
------------

Income taxes decreased 24.94% or $217,000 to $653,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 1999, from $870,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998.
This was due to a decrease in income before taxes of 19.75% or $492,000 to $2.5
million from $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 1999, and
1998, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loan
principal, and repayment of mortgage backed securities and collateralized
mortgage obligations, and, to a lesser extent, maturities of investment
securities, and short-term investments and operations. While scheduled loan
repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows
and early loan repayments are more influenced by interest rates, general
economic conditions, and competition. The Company attempts to price its deposits
to meet its asset/liability objectives consistent with local market conditions.
Excess balances are invested in overnight funds. In addition, the Company is
eligible to borrow funds from the FHLB of Atlanta. Under OTS regulations, a
member thrift institution is required to maintain an average daily balance of
liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits and savings accounts, bankers'
acceptances, and specified U. S. government, state or federal agency obligations
and certain other investments) equal to a monthly average of not less than a
specified percentage of its net withdrawable accounts plus short-term
borrowings. This liquidity requirement, which is currently 4.0%, may be changed
from time to time by the OTS to any amount within the range of 4.0% to 10.0%,
depending upon economic conditions and the savings flow of member associations.
Monetary penalties may be imposed for failure to meet liquidity requirements.
The liquidity of the Company at December 31, 1999 was 13.59%.

The primary investing activity of the Company is lending. During the three
months ended December 31, 1999, the Company originated $12.2 million of loans
and no loans were sold. The Company also purchased $8.5 million of loans. The
retained originations were primarily funded by principal repayments of loans and
mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations, and Federal
Home Loan Bank Advances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources - Continued
-------------------------------------------

Liquidity management is both a short and long-term responsibility of management.
The Company adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management's
assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii)
expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and
(v) liquidity of its asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is
generally invested in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term
government and agency obligations. If the Company requires funds beyond its
ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with
the FHLB and collateral eligible for repurchase agreements.

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available through
normal loan repayments to meet current loan commitments. At December 31, 1999,
the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of approximately
$54.3 million.

Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31,
1999, totaled $119.6 million. Based upon management's experience and familiarity
with the customers involved and the Company's pricing policy relative to that of
its perceived competitors, management believes that a significant portion of
such deposits will remain with the Company.

The Company plans to repurchase up to 134,624 shares of its common stock before
April 14, 2000, subject to market conditions. The Company intends to fund the
repurchase program through cash on hand and/or liquidation of some of its other
interest earning assets.

Capital Compliance
------------------

The Company is not subject to any regulatory capital requirements. The Savings
Bank's actual capital and ratios as required by the OTS, as well as those
required to be considered well capitalized according to the Prompt Corrective

Action Provisions are presented in the following table. As of December 31, 1999,
the most recent notification from the OTS categorized the Savings Bank as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be
categorized as well capitalized, the Savings Bank must maintain minimum total
risk-based, Tier I risked-based, and Tier I core ("leverage") ratios as set
forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification
that management believes have changed the Savings Bank's category.

restrictions on its operations.

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

        In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
        Instruments and Hedging Activities." All derivatives are to be measured
        at fair value and recognized in the balance sheet as assets or
        liabilities. This statement's effective date was delayed by the issuance
        of SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
        Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS 133," and is
        effective for fiscal years and quarters beginning after June 15, 2000.
        The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have
        a material impact on the presentation of the Company's financial results
        or financial position.

        In February 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 135, "Rescission of SFAS 75
        and Technical Corrections." This statement provides technical
        corrections for previously issued statements and rescinds SFAS No. 75,
        which provides guidance related to pension plans of state and local
        governmental units. SFAS No. 135 is effective for fiscal years ending
        after February 15, 1999. The adoption of SFAS 135 did not have a
        material impact on the presentation of the Company's financial results
        or financial position.

        In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 136, "Transfers of Assets to a
        Not-for-Profit Organization or Charitable Trust that Raises or Holds
        Contributions for Others." This statement establishes standards for
        transactions in which an entity makes a contribution by transferring
        assets to a not-for-profit organization or a charitable trust and then
        requires these contributions to be used in specified manner. SFAS No.
        136 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 1999.
        The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 136 will have
        a material impact on the presentation of the Company's financial results
        or financial position.


Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
---------------------------------------

The Consolidated Financial Statements and related financial data presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles ("GAAP") which require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering the
changes in relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The
primary impact of inflation on operations of the Company is reflected in
increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the
assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a
result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial
institution's performance than do general levels of inflation. Interest rates do
not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices
of goods and services.

Year 2000
---------

Before January 1, 2000, the Bank had implemented and satisfactorily tested a
comprehensive plan to address the effect of the Year 2000 date change on the
Bunk's mission critical computer systems. While there can be no assurances that
the Bank's Year 2000 plan has effectively addressed the Year 2000 issue, the
Bank has not been notified, and it is unaware of, any vendor or service provider
problems related to Year 2000, and all of the Bank's systems have performed
properly since January 1, 2000. Likewise, the Bank is unaware of any Year 2000
issues that have impaired the ability of its borrowers to repay their debts.

ITEM 3 - Market Risk Disclosure
-------------------------------

There have been no material changes to the market risk information set forth
under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations -- Market Risk and Asset Liability Management" in the Company's
Annual Report dated September 30, 1999.
