NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION

         Beach First National Bancshares, Inc., Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
(the "Company"), was incorporated July 28, 1995 under the laws of the State of
South Carolina for the purpose of operating as a bank holding company with
respect to a then proposed de novo bank, Beach First National Bank, Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina (the "Bank").

         The Company offered its common stock for sale to the public under an
initial public offering price of $10 per share. As of December 31, 1996, when
the offering was terminated, 735,868 shares were sold, resulting in net proceeds
of $7,212,349.

         During 1996, the Company obtained regulatory approval to operate the
Bank, and the Bank opened for business on September 23, 1996, with a total
capitalization of $6.3 million. Upon the opening of the Bank, the Company ceased
to be considered as a "development stage enterprise" as its planned principal
operations had commenced. The Bank's deposits are each insured up to $100,000 by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

         The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ
materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, and the
Company's operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and
uncertainties that are discussed in detail in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including the "Risk Factors" section in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration Number 33-95562) as
filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Bank completed it first full year of operations in 1997 and has grown
substantially since opening in September 1996. Comparisons of the Bank's results
for the periods presented should be made with an understanding of the Bank's
short history.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EARNINGS REVIEW

         The Company's net loss was $79,514, or $0.11 per share, for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to a loss of $146,192, or $0.20 per
share, for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The Company's net loss was
$39,298, or $0.05 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as
compared to a loss of $70,146, or $0.10 per share, for the three months ended
June 30, 1997. The improvement in net income reflects the Bank's continued
growth, as average earning assets increased from $13.8 million during the six
months ended June 30, 1997 to $26.2 million for the same period of 1998. The
return on average assets for the first six months of 1998 was (.55)% compared to
(1.87)% for the same period in 1997; the return on average equity was (2.40)%
for first six months of 1998 versus (4.29%) in the same period of 1997.

         During the first half of 1998, net interest income increased to
$503,353 from $308,806 in the first half of 1997. This increase in net interest
income was the result of a $511,307 increase in interest income and a $316,760
increase in interest expense associated with the Bank's continued development of
its deposit and loan base. For the three months ended June 30, 1998, net
interest income increased to $263,163 from $179,471 over the comparable period
in 1997. The net interest spread for the first six months of 1998 was 2.26%
compared to 1.71% during the comparable period in 1997 . The net interest margin
was 3.87% for the first six months of 1998 and was 4.50% in the same period of
1997.

         The provision for loan losses was $65,000 for the six month period and
$30,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 1998, down from $85,500 and
$45,000 for the six month and three month periods ended June 30, 1997. The
Company's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of its period end loans was
1.10% and 1.66% at June 30, 1998 and 1997 respectively. The Company had no
non-performing loans at June 30, 1998 or 1997. Net charge-offs totaled $64,623
for the first six months of 1998. There were no net charge-offs in the same
period of 1997.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)

         Non-interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 was
$75,382, an increase of $62,977 over the same period of 1997. The was due
primarily to an increase in service fees on deposit accounts resulting from a
$14.0 million growth in deposits from June 30, 1997 to June 30, 1998.

         Non-interest expense was $614,249 for the six month period ended June
30, 1998, which was an increase of $232,346 over the same period of 1997. The
increase in non-interest expense reflects increased costs associated with the
growth of the Bank, legal fees related to a suspected kiting operation, and
higher occupancy expenses resulting from the move into the new main office
facility in June 1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME

         The primary source of revenue for the Company is net interest income,
which is the difference between income on interest-bearing assets and interest
paid on deposits and borrowings used to support such assets. Net interest income
is determined by the rates earned on the Company's interest-earning assets and
the rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities as well as the relative
amounts of interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

         As reflected above, for the first half of 1998 the average yield on
earning assets amounted to 7.68%, while the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities was 5.42%. For the same period of 1997, the average yield on earning
assets was 7.12% and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 5.42%.
The increase in the yield on earning assets is attributable to a significant
increase in outstanding

loans which earn higher rates than other components of earning assets. This
increase in loans was expected as the Bank continues to build its customer base.
The net interest margin is computed by subtracting interest expense from
interest income and dividing the resulting figure by average interest-earning
assets. The net interest margin for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 was
3.87% and for 1997 was 4.50%. This decline was the result of an increase in
interest-bearing deposits of $11.7 million partially offset by a decline in the
rates paid from 5.42% to 5.37%. The increase in deposits was predicted since the
Bank is establishing its core base of deposits, which includes a mix of
certificates of deposit, money market accounts, savings accounts, and
interest-bearing checking accounts.

         The following table presents the changes in the Company's net interest
income as a result of changes in the volume and rate of its interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The change in net interest income is
primarily due to increases in the volume of both loans and deposits rather than
changes in average rates.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses was $65,000 for the first six months of
1998 and $85,500 for the same period of 1997. The decline was the result of
management's assessment of the adequacy of the reserve for possible loans losses
given the size, mix and quality of the current loan portfolio. Management seeks
to determine the appropriate amount of loan loss provision for the condition of
the loan portfolio by continuously assessing general loan loss risk, asset
quality, current and predicted economic conditions and loan delinquencies.
However, management's judgment as to 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 is a risk that charge-offs in
future periods may exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional
increases in the loan loss allowance will be required.

NONINTEREST INCOME

         Noninterest income increased from $12,405 in the first six months of
1997 to $75,382 in the same period of 1998, and from $10,575 in the three months
ended June 30, 1997 to $42,221 in the same period of 1998. Service fees on
deposit accounts, the largest component of noninterest income, increased from
$4,079 to $65,145 over the first six month in 1998 as the result of an increase
in deposits of $14.0 million. This growth in deposits was expected as the Bank
moved into a new, more convenient facility in June 1997. By relocating to a
full-service branch, the Bank was able to increase its customer base by offering
more convenient banking services.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

         Total noninterest expense increased from $381,903 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 to $614,249 for the same period in 1998, and from $215,192
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $324,482 in the same period of 1998.
The increase in non-interest expense reflects an increase in most expense
categories as a result of the Company's growth from $17.4 million in assets at
the end of the June 1997 to $31.6 million at June 30, 1998. Salaries and wages
expense increased by $81,841 during the six months and $39,778 during the three
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997, and employee
benefits increased by $9,769 and $4,646 during these periods. These increases
reflected an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees to 16 at
the end of June 1998 from 13 at the end of June 1997, as the Company added
additional staff to support its growth in loans and deposits. Management does
not anticipate any significant additions to staff during the next 12 months.
Professional fees were $60,608 during the six months ended and $40,621 during
the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $21,004 and $13,987 during the
comparable periods of 1997. The 1998 figures include costs associated with the
Bank's Year 2000 project and also includes a $20,000 addition (during the six
month period) to the reserve established for potential costs of collecting
monies due that are related to a suspected kiting operation. (See Part II, Item
1)

         Depreciation and amortization increased $66,756 during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period of 1997, and increased $37,060
during the three month period ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period of
1997. The increase was directly related to the completion of the new main office
facility and the purchase of additional furniture, equipment and computer
hardware and software. The increase in the category of other operating expenses
to $120,583 in the six month period ended June 30, 1998 from $73,646 in 1997 was
principally due to an increase in operating expenses related to the new main
office building and growth in data processing fees and other expenses associated
with the expansion of loan and deposits.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

         Basic net loss per common share is computed on the basis of the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding in accordance with SFAS No.
128, "Earnings on Share". The treasury stock method is used to compute the
effect of stock options on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the diluted method. No dilution occurs under the treasury stock
method as the exercise price of stock options equals or exceed the market value
of the stock.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

         At June 30, 1997, the Company's investment securities portfolio was the
largest component of the Company's total earning assets. However, by June 30,
1998, investment securities had declined from 56.3% of average earning assets to
40.3%. Total securities averaged $10.6 million in the first six months of 1998
compared to $7.8 million during this period in 1997. At June 30, 1998, total
securities were $10.9 million and totaled $8.1 million at June 30, 1997. The
Company primarily invests in U.S. Treasury securities and securities of other
U.S. Government agencies.

         At June 30, 1998, short-term investments totaled $2,080,000 compared to
$710,000 as of June 30, 1997. These funds are one source of the Bank's liquidity
and are generally invested in an earning capacity on an overnight basis.

LOANS

         At June 30, 1998, net loans totaled $15.3 million, an increase of $9.2
million from June 30, 1997. The composition of the Company's loan portfolio at
June 30, 1998 was as follows: commercial and commercial real estate, 63.3%;
consumer, 12.3%; residential mortgage; 15.4%; and construction, 9.0%. Due to the
short time the portfolio has existed, the current mix may not be indicative of
the ongoing portfolio mix. Management will attempt to maintain a relatively
diversified loan portfolio to help reduce the risks inherent in concentrations
of collateral.

         Average gross loans increased from $3.7 million with a yield of 9.48%
in the first half of 1997 to $13.9 million with a yield of 9.03% in 1998. The
interest rates charged on loans vary with the degree of risk and the maturity
and amount of the loan. Competitive pressures, money market rates, availability
of funds and government regulations also influence interest rates.

ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

         Management maintains an allowance for possible loan losses which it
believes is adequate to cover inherent losses in the loan portfolio. However,
management's judgment is based upon a number of assumptions about future events
which are believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove accurate.
Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not
exceed the allowance for possible loan losses or that additional increases in
the allowance for possible loan losses will not be required.

         The allowance for possible loan losses is established through charges
in the form of a provision for loan losses. Loan losses and recoveries are
charged or credited directly to the allowance. The amount charged to the
provision for loan losses by the Company is based on management's judgment as to
the amount required to maintain an allowance adequate to provide for potential
losses in the Company's loan portfolio. The level of this allowance is dependent
upon the total amount of past due loans, general economic conditions and
management's assessment of potential losses.

         At June 30, 1998, the allowance for possible loan losses was $169,878
or 1.10% of

outstanding loans compared to an allowance for possible loans losses
of $102,002 or 1.66% of outstanding loans at June 30, 1997. Net charge-offs
totaled $64,623 for the first six months of 1998. There were no net charge-offs
in the same period of 1998. There were no non-accrual, restructured or other
non-performing loans at June 30, 1998 or 1997.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER INTEREST-BEARING LIABILITIES

         Average total deposits were $22.2 million and average interest-bearing
deposits were $18.4 million in the first half of 1998. Average total deposits
were $8.6 million and average interest-bearing deposits were $6.7 million in the
first half of 1997. Internal growth, resulting primarily from special promotions
and increased customer convenience of the new main office facility, generated
the new deposits.

         Core deposits, which exclude certificates of deposit of $100,000 or
more, provide a relatively stable funding source for the Company's loan
portfolio and other earning assets. The Company's core deposits were $20.1
million at June 30, 1998 compared to $9.1 million at June 30, 1997. A stable
base of deposits is expected to be the Company's primary source of funding to
meet both its short-term and long-term liquidity needs in the future. Core
deposits as a percentage of total deposits were approximately 82% at June 30,
1998, down slightly from 86% at June 30, 1997. The Company's loan-to-deposit
ratio was 62.9% at June 30, 1998 versus 57.9% at June 30, 1997. The average
loan-to-deposit ratio was 62.6% during the first half of 1998 and 43.3% during
the same period of 1997.

CAPITAL

         Under the capital guidelines of the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum total risk-based capital
ratio of 8%, with at least 4% being Tier I capital. To be considered
"well-capitalized", banks must meet regulatory standards of 10% for total
risk-based capital and 6% for Tier I capital. Tier I capital consists of common
shareholder's equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, and minority
interest in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill. In
addition, the Bank must maintain a minimum Tier I leverage ratio (Tier I capital
to total average assets) of at least 4%. The "well-capitalized" standard for the
Tier I leverage ratio is 5%. The following chart reflects the risk-based
regulatory capital ratios of the Bank at June 30, 1998.

         A condition of the original offering was that a minimum of 525,000
shares be subscribed to and fully paid for. There were a total of 735,868 shares
sold during the offering period with gross proceeds after offering expenses of
$7,212,349 and the Company used $6,300,000 of this amount to capitalize the
Bank. The Company believes that this amount is sufficient to fund the activities
of the Bank in its initial stages of operations, and that the Bank will generate
sufficient income from operations to fund its activities on an on-going basis.
The remaining offering proceeds will be used to provide working capital,
including additional capital for investment in the Bank, if needed.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

         Primary sources of liquidity for the Company are a stable base of
deposits, scheduled repayments on the Company's loans and interest on and
maturities of its investments. All securities of the Company have been
classified as available for sale. Occasionally, the Company might sell
investment securities in connection with the management of its interest
sensitivity gap or to manage cash availability. The Company may also utilize its
cash and due from banks, security repurchase agreements and federal funds sold
to meet liquidity requirements as needed. In addition, the Company has the
ability, on a short-term basis, to purchase federal funds from other financial
institutions. Presently, the Company has made arrangements with commercial banks
for short-term unsecured advances of up to $3,000,000. The Company believes that
its liquidity and ability to manage assets will be sufficient to meet its cash
requirements over the near term.

         The Company monitors and manages the pricing and maturity of its assets
and liabilities in order to lessen the potential impact that interest rate
movements could have on its net interest margin. To minimize the effect of these
margin swings, the balance sheet should be structured so that repricing
opportunities exist for both assets and liabilities in roughly equivalent
amounts at approximately the same time intervals. Imbalances in these pricing
opportunities at any point in time constitute interest rate risk.

         Interest rate sensitivity refers to the responsiveness of
interest-bearing assets and liabilities to changes in market interest rates. The
rate sensitive position, or gap, is the difference in the volume of rate
sensitive assets and liabilities at any given time interval. Management
generally attempts to 


                                       13
<PAGE>   14

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)

maintain a balance between rate sensitive assets and liabilities to minimize the
company's interest rate risks. Interest rate sensitivity can be managed by
repricing assets or liabilities, selling securities available-for-sale,
replacing an asset or liability at maturity or by adjusting the interest rate
during the life of an asset or liability. Managing the amount of assets and
liabilities repricing in the same time interval helps to hedge the risk and
minimize the impact on net interest income of rising or falling interest rates.

         The Company generally would benefit from increasing market rates of
interest when it has an asset sensitive gap and generally would benefit from
decreasing market rates of interest when it is liability sensitive. The Company
currently is liability sensitive in time frames less than one year and asset
sensitive after that. However, the Company's 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 is also impacted by other
significant factors, including changes in the volume and mix of earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

         Unlike most industrial companies, the assets and liabilities of
financial institutions such as the Company and the Bank are primarily monetary
in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant impact on the
Company's performance than do the effects of changes in the general rate of
inflation and changes in prices. In addition, interest rates do not necessarily
move 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 rate
fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation.

INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS

         Proposed legislation could have an effect on both the costs of doing
business and the competitive factors facing the financial services industry. Due
to continued changes in the regulatory environment, additional legislation
related to the banking industry is likely to continue. While the potential
effects of legislation currently under consideration cannot be measured, the
Company is unaware of any pending legislation or regulatory reform which would
materially affect its financial position or operating results in the foreseeable
future.

         Like many financial institutions, the Company and the Bank rely upon
computers for the daily conduct of their business and for information systems
processing. There is concern among industry experts that on January 1, 2000
computers will be unable to "read" the new year and there may be widespread
computer malfunctions. The Company and the Bank generally rely on software and
hardware developed by independent third parties to provide the information
systems used by the Company and the Bank. The Company is seeking assurances
about the Year 2000 compliance with respect to the third party hardware or
software system it uses, and the Company believes that its internal systems and
software and the network connections it maintains will be adequately programmed
to address the Year 2000 issue. Based on information currently available,
management does not believe that the Company or the Bank will incur significant
costs in connection with the year 2000 issue. Nevertheless, there can be no
assurances that all hardware and software that either the Company or the Bank
uses will be Year 2000 


                                       14

compliant, and the Company cannot predict with any certainty the costs the
Company or the Bank will incur to respond to any Year 2000 issues. Further, the
business of many of the Bank's customers may be negatively affected by the Year
2000 issue, and any financial difficulties incurred by the Bank's customers in
solving Year 2000 issues could negatively affect such customer's ability to
repay any loans which the Bank may have extended. Therefore, even if the Company
and the Bank do not incur significant direct costs in connection with responding
to the year 2000 issue, there can be no assurance that the failure or delay of
the Bank's customers or other third parties in addressing the Year 2000 issue or
the costs involved in such process will not have a material adverse effect on
the Bank's business, financial condition and results of operation.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" (FASB 130), was issued, and established
standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components,
as recognized under accounting standards, to be displayed in a financial
statement with the same prominence as other financial statements. Accordingly,
the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) have been included in
the financial statements.

         In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS 131 requires that a public business
enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable
operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about
which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by
the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in
assessing performance. SFAS 131 requires that a public enterprise report a
measure of segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items,
segment assets, information about the way that the operating segments ere
determined and other items. The Statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company does not anticipate that adoption
of SFAS 131 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

         In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instrument and Hedging Activities." All derivatives are to be measured as fair
value and recognized in the statement of financial position as assets or
liabilities. The statement is effective for fiscal years and quarters beginning
after June 15, 1999. Because the Company has limited use of derivative
transactions at this time, management does not expect that this standard would
have a significant effect on the Company.

         In April 1998, the FASB issued SFAS 132, "Employers' Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." The new Statement revises the
required disclosures for employee benefit plans, but it does not change the
measurement or recognition of such plans. While the new standard requires some
additional information about benefit plans, it helps preparers of financial
statements by eliminating certain disclosures and by standardizing the
disclosures for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent
practicable. SFAS 132 supersedes the disclosure requirements in SFAS 87,
"Employers' Accounting for Pensions," SFAS 88, "Employers' Accounting for
Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for
Termination Benefits," and SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other than Pensions." The new disclosures are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of SFAS 132 will not have
an impact on the financial statements of the Company due to the disclosure only
requirements.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATION (CONTINUED)

         In March 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the
AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use" (SOP 98-1), which provided
guidance as to when it is or is not appropriate to capitalize the cost of
software developed or obtained for internal use. SOP 98-1 is effective for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 with
early adoption encouraged. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of SOP
98-1 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

                                OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         From time to time the Bank is involved in various legal proceedings
which management considers to be incidental to the normal conduct of the Bank's
business. The Bank is involved in one such case involving a suspected kiting
operation in which the total estimated loss exposure of $625,000. Management
believes that the Bank has multiple defenses and recovery options which it
intends to pursue aggressively. Management has charged $62,000 to operations at
December 31, 1997 (and another $20,000 at June 30, 1998) for professional fees
to establish a reserve for this case. Any unfavorable developments in this
matter could have a material adverse effect on the short-term operating results
of the Bank.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

1.       The Company's Bylaws provides that the Board of Directors shall be
         divided into three classes with each class to be as nearly equal in
         number as possible. The Bylaws also provide that the three classes of
         directors are to have staggered terms, so that the terms of only
         approximately one-third of the Board members will expire at each annual
         meeting of shareholders. The current Class I directors are Raymond E.
         Cleary, III, William Gary Horn, Joe N. Jarrett, Jr., Richard E. Lester,
         and Don J. Smith. The current Class II directors are Michael Bert
         Anderson, Orvis Bartlett Buie, Michael D. Harrington, Diane W. Sammons,
         and Rick H. Seagroves. The current Class III directors are Vernie E.
         Dove, Jack L. Green, Jr., Samuel Robert Spann, Jr., B. Larkin Spivey,
         Jr., and James C. Yahnis. The Class III directors were up for
         reelection at this year's annual meeting held April 22, 1998. Each of
         the existing Class III directors was reelected at the annual meeting,
         with 438,352 votes cast in favor of the reelection of each director and
         12,200 votes withheld. The terms of the Class I directors will expire
         at the 1999 Annual Shareholders Meeting, and the terms of the Class II
         directors will expire at the 2000 Annual Shareholders Meeting.
