consequences that may result;

EESA) and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (the ARRA), including, without limitation, the CPP administered under the Troubled Asset Relief Program, and the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (the
TLGP) and the impact of such programs and related regulations on the Company and on international, national, and local economic and financial markets and conditions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

PART I

Item 1.    Description of Business

General

Communitycorp was organized in 1995 to serve as a bank holding
company for Bank of Walterboro. The Bank commenced business on May 1, 1989 as a South Carolina state-chartered bank headquartered in Walterboro, South Carolina. The principal business activity of the Company is to provide banking services to
domestic markets, principally in Colleton County, Jasper County and Northern Charleston County, South Carolina. The Company opened an additional branch in 2004 in Ridgeland, South Carolina.

Our primary source of revenue is interest income and fees, which we earn by lending and investing our capital and the funds which are
held on deposit. Because loans generally earn higher rates of interest than investments, the bank seeks to employ as many of its deposit funds as possible in the form of loans to individuals and businesses. To ensure sufficient liquidity, we also
maintain a portion of the Banks deposits in cash, government securities, deposits with other financial institutions, and overnight loans of excess reserves (known as federal funds sold) to correspondent banks. The revenue which the
bank earns (prior to deducting its overhead expenses) is essentially a function of the amount of the Banks loans and deposits, as well as the profit margin (interest spread) and fee income.

Marketing Focus

Our bank primarily serves the city of Walterboro and the surrounding area of Colleton County, South Carolina. The banks extended market area also includes the north side of Charleston County, South
Carolina where the Ravenel branch is located and Jasper County where the Ridgeland branch is located. The Bank strives to maintain its business in these market areas.

Banking Services

The Bank strives to provide its customers with the
breadth of products and services comparable to those offered by large regional banks, while maintaining the quick response and personal service of a locally owned and managed bank. We offer a full range of deposit services and originate commercial
and personal loans.



| |  |  | Loan Products - The Bank offers a full range of commercial and personal loans. Commercial loans include both secured and unsecured
loans for working capital (including loans secured by inventory and accounts receivable), business expansion (including acquisition of real estate and improvements), and purchase of equipment and machinery. Consumer loans include equity lines of
credit and secured and unsecured loans for financing automobiles, home improvements, education, and personal investments. The Bank also makes real estate construction and acquisition loans. The Banks lending activities are subject to a variety
of lending limits imposed by federal law. While differing limits apply in certain circumstances based on the type of loan or the nature of the borrower (including the borrowers relationship to us), in general we are subject to a
loans-to-one-borrower limit of an amount equal to 15% of The Banks unimpaired capital and surplus. We may not make any loans to any director, officer, employee, or 10% shareholder of The Bank unless the loan is approved by our board of
directors and is made on terms not more favorable to such a person than would be available to a person not affiliated with us.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Deposit Services - The Bank offers a full range of deposit services that are typically available in most banks and savings and loan
associations, including checking accounts, NOW 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 by other banks in the area. In addition, we offer certain retirement account services, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). The Bank solicits deposit accounts from
individuals, businesses, associations and organizations and, governmental authorities. All deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC up to the maximum amount allowed by law. See Supervision and Regulation.

| |  |  | Other Services.Other bank services include cash management services, safe deposit boxes, travelers checks, direct deposit of
payroll and social security checks, and automatic drafts for various accounts. The Bank is associated with Honor and Plus networks of automated teller machines that may be used by our customers throughout South Carolina and other regions. The Bank
also offers VISA credit card services through a correspondent bank as an agent for us. The Bank offers an Internet banking product accessible via the Banks custom website at www.bankofwalterboro.com.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Competition

The Bank of Walterboro generally competes with other financial institutions through the selection of banking products and services offered, the pricing of services, the level of service provided, the
convenience and availability of services, and the degree of expertise and the personal manner in which services are offered. South Carolina law permits statewide branching by banks and savings institutions and many financial institutions in the
state have branch networks. Consequently, commercial banking in South Carolina is highly competitive. South Carolina law also permits interstate banking whereby out-of-state banks and bank holding companies are allowed to acquire and merge
with South Carolina banks and bank holding companies, as long as the South Carolina State Board of Financial Institutions gives prior approval for the acquisition or merger. A number of large banking organizations currently operate in the
market areas of the Bank of Walterboro, some of which are controlled by out-of-state ownership. In addition, competition between commercial banks and thrift institutions (savings institutions and credit unions) has been intensified
significantly by the elimination of many previous distinctions between the various types of financial institutions and the expanded powers and increased activity of thrift institutions in areas of banking that previously had been the sole domain of
commercial banks. See - Supervision and Regulation.

The Bank of Walterboro faces increased competition from
both federally-chartered and state-chartered financial and thrift institutions, as well as credit unions, consumer finance companies, insurance companies and other institutions in the Bank of Walterboros market areas. Some of these
competitors are not subject to the same degree of regulation and restriction imposed upon the Bank of Walterboro. Many of these competitors also have broader geographic markets and substantially greater resources and lending limits than the
Bank of Walterboro and offer certain services that the Bank of Walterboro does not currently provide. In addition, some of these competitors have several branch offices located throughout the extended market areas of the Bank of Walterboro that
we believe may provide these competitors with an advantage in geographic convenience that the Bank of Walterboro does not have at present. Such competitors may also be in a position to make more effective use of media advertising, support
services, and electronic technology than can The Bank of Walterboro.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, the Bank had forty-four full time and two part time employees. The Company has no employees.

Supervision and Regulations

Both Communitycorp and the Bank of Walterboro are subject to extensive state and federal banking regulations that impose restrictions on and provide for general regulatory oversight of their
operations. These laws generally are intended to protect depositors and not shareholders. 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. Our operations may be affected by legislative changes and the policies of various regulatory authorities. We cannot predict the effect that fiscal or monetary policies, economic
control, or new federal or state legislation may have on our business and earnings in the future.

The following discussion is
not intended to be a complete list of all the activities regulated by the banking laws or of the impact of such laws and regulations on our operations. It is intended only to briefly summarize some material provisions.

##### Table of Contents

COMMUNITYCORP

We own 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank, and therefore we are considered to be a bank holding company under the federal
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the Bank Holding Company Act). As a result, we are primarily subject to the supervision, examination and reporting requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (the Federal
Reserve) under the Bank Holding Company Act and its regulations promulgated there under. As a bank holding company located in South Carolina, the South Carolina Board of Financial Institutions also regulates and monitors all significant
aspects of our operations.

Permitted Activities - Under the Bank Holding Company Act, a bank holding company is
generally permitted to engage in, or acquire direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in, the following activities:



| |  |  | banking or managing or controlling banks;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------

| |  |  | furnishing services to or performing services for our subsidiaries; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | any activity that the Federal Reserve determines to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to the business of banking.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Activities that the Federal Reserve has found to be so closely related to banking as to be
a proper incident to the business of banking include:



| |  |  | factoring accounts receivable;
| | - |  | ------------------------------

| |  |  | making, acquiring, brokering or servicing loans and usual related activities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | leasing personal or real property;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------

| |  |  | operating a non-bank depository institution, such as a savings association;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | trust company functions;
| | - |  | ------------------------

| |  |  | financial and investment advisory activities;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------

| |  |  | conducting discount securities brokerage activities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | underwriting and dealing in government obligations and money market instruments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | providing specified management consulting and counseling activities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | performing selected data processing services and support services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | acting as agent or broker in selling credit life insurance and other types of insurance in connection with credit transactions;
and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | performing selected insurance underwriting activities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

As a bank holding company we also can elect to be treated as a financial holding company, which would allow us engage in a broader array of activities. In sum, a financial holding company
can engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental or complementary to financial activities, including insurance underwriting, sales and brokerage activities, providing financial and investment advisory services, underwriting
services and limited merchant banking activities. We have not sought financial holding company status, but may elect such status in the future as our business matures. If we were to elect in writing for financial holding company status,
each insured depository institution we control would have to be well capitalized, well managed and have at least a satisfactory rating under the CRA (discussed below).

The Federal Reserve has the authority to order a bank holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any of these activities or to terminate its ownership or control of any subsidiary when it has
reasonable cause to believe that the bank holding companys continued ownership, activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of it or any of its bank subsidiaries.

Change in 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 a bank holding company. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or
more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control is 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:

| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Our common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The regulations provide a procedure for
challenging rebuttable presumptions of control.

Source of Strength -Under Federal Reserve policy, we are
expected to act as a source of financial strength for the Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank. In addition, pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act), the federal banking
regulators are required to issue, within two years of enactment, rules that require a bank holding company to serve as a source of financial strength for any depository institution subsidiary. This support may be required at times when, without this
Federal Reserve policy or the impending rules, we might not be inclined to provide it. In addition, any capital loans made by us to the Bank will be repaid only after the Banks deposits and various other obligations are repaid in full. In the
unlikely event of our bankruptcy, any commitment that we give to a bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of the Bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

Capital Requirements -The Federal Reserve Board imposes certain capital requirements on the bank holding company under the
Bank Holding Company Act, including a minimum leverage ratio and a minimum ratio of qualifying capital to risk-weighted assets. These requirements are essentially the same as those that apply to the bank described below under
Bank of Walterboro  Prompt Corrective Action. However, The Federal Reserve guidelines contain an exemption from the capital requirements for small bank holding companies which in 2006 were amended to cover most
bank holding companies with less than $500 million in total assets that do not have a material amount of debt or equity securities outstanding registered with the United States Security and Exchange Commission (the SEC.) Although our
class of common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act, we believe that because our stock is not listed on any exchange or otherwise actively traded, the Federal Reserve Board will interpret its new guidelines to
mean that we qualify as a small bank holding company. Nevertheless, our Bank remains subject to these capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary
actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct 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 classifications are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Regardless, our Bank is well capitalized under these minimum capital requirements as set per bank regulatory agencies.

Subject to our capital requirements and certain other restrictions, we are able to borrow money to make a capital
contribution to the Bank, and these loans may be repaid from dividends paid from the Bank to the Company. Our ability to pay dividends depends on the Banks ability to pay dividends to us, which is subject to regulatory restrictions as
described below in Bank of Walterboro  Dividends. We are also able to raise capital for contribution to the bank by issuing securities without having to receive regulatory approval, subject to compliance with federal and state
securities laws.

South Carolina State Regulation -As a bank holding company with its principal offices in
South Carolina, the Company is subject to limitations on sale or merger and to regulation by the SC State Board. The Company must receive the approval of the SC State Board prior to acquiring control of a bank or bank holding company or all or
substantially all of the assets of a bank or a bank holding company. The Company also must file with the SC State Board periodic reports with respect to its financial condition, operations and management, and the intercompany relationships
between the Company and its subsidiaries.

Bank of Walterboro

Because the Bank is a commercial bank chartered under the laws of the State of South Carolina, it is primarily subject to the
supervision, examination and reporting requirements of the FDIC and the SC State Board. The FDIC and the SC State Board 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, the Banks deposits are insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent provided by law. The Bank is also subject to numerous state and federal statutes and regulations that affect our business, activities and
operations.

South Carolina Law -Commercial banks chartered in South Carolina have only those powers granted by
law or the regulations of the SC State Board. State law sets specific requirements for bank capital and regulates deposits in and loans and investments by banks, including the amounts, types and, in some cases, rates. In addition, the SC
State Board regulates, among other activities, the payment of dividends, the opening of branches, loans to officers and directors, record keeping and the use of automated teller machines. The SC State Board periodically examines state banks to
determine their compliance with the law and regulations, and state banks must make periodic reports of their condition to the SC State Board. Prior to the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Bank and any other national or state-chartered bank were
generally permitted to branch across state lines by merging with banks in other states if allowed by the applicable states laws. However, interstate branching is now permitted for all national- and state-chartered banks as a result of the
Dodd-Frank Act, provided that a state bank chartered by the state in which the branch is to be located would also be permitted to establish a branch.

Prompt Corrective Action -As an insured depository institution, the bank is required to comply with the capital requirements promulgated under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the
regulations thereunder, which set forth five capital categories, each with specific regulatory consequences. Under these regulations, the categories are:



| |  |  | Well Capitalized  The institution exceeds the required minimum level for each relevant capital measure. A well capitalized
institution is one (i) having a total capital ratio of 10% or greater, (ii) having a tier 1 capital ratio of 6% or greater, (iii) having a leverage capital ratio of 5% or greater and (iv) that is not subject to any order or
written directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Adequately Capitalized  The institution meets the required minimum level for each relevant capital measure. No capital
distribution may be made that would result in the institution becoming undercapitalized. An adequately capitalized institution is one (i) having a total capital ratio of 8% or greater, (ii) having a tier 1 capital ratio of 4% or
greater and (iii) having a leverage capital ratio of 4% or greater or a leverage capital ratio of 3% or greater if the institution is rated composite 1 under the CAMELS (Capital, Assets, Management, Earnings, Liquidity and Sensitivity to market
risk) rating system.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Undercapitalized  The institution fails to meet the required minimum level for any relevant capital measure. An undercapitalized
institution is one (i) having a total capital ratio of less than 8% or (ii) having a tier 1 capital ratio of less than 4% or (iii) having a leverage capital ratio of less than 4%, or if the institution is rated a composite 1 under the
CAMELS rating system, a leverage capital ratio of less than 3%.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Significantly Undercapitalized  The institution is significantly below the required minimum level for any relevant capital
measure. A significantly undercapitalized institution is one (i) having a total capital ratio of less than 6% or (ii) having a tier 1 capital ratio of less than 3% or (iii) having a leverage capital ratio of less than 3%.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Critically Undercapitalized  The institution fails to meet a critical capital level set by the appropriate federal banking
agency. A critically undercapitalized institution is one having a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the FDIC determines, after notice and an opportunity for hearing, that the bank is in an unsafe or unsound condition, the regulator is authorized to reclassify the bank to the next lower capital
category (other than critically undercapitalized) and require the submission of a plan to correct the unsafe or unsound condition.

If the bank is not well capitalized, it cannot accept brokered deposits without prior FDIC approval and, if approval is granted, cannot offer an effective yield in excess of 75 basis points on interests
paid on deposits of comparable size and maturity in such institutions normal market area for deposits accepted from within its normal market area, or national rate paid on deposits of comparable size and maturity for deposits accepted outside
the banks normal market area. Moreover, if the bank becomes less than adequately capitalized, it must adopt a capital restoration plan acceptable to the FDIC. The bank also would become subject to increased regulatory oversight, and
is increasingly

restricted in the scope of its permissible activities. Each company having control over an undercapitalized institution also must provide a limited guarantee that the institution will comply
with its capital restoration plan.

Except under limited circumstances consistent with an accepted capital restoration plan, an
undercapitalized institution may not grow. An undercapitalized institution may not acquire another institution, establish additional branch offices or engage in any new line of business unless determined by the appropriate Federal banking
agency to be consistent with an accepted capital restoration plan, or unless the FDIC determines that the proposed action will further the purpose of prompt corrective action. The appropriate federal banking agency may take any action
authorized for a significantly undercapitalized institution if an undercapitalized institution fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails in any material respect to implement a plan accepted by the agency. A critically
undercapitalized institution is subject to having a receiver or conservator appointed to manage its affairs and for loss of its charter to conduct banking activities.

An insured depository institution may not pay a management fee to a bank holding company controlling that institution or any other person having control of the institution if, after making the payment,
the institution, would be undercapitalized. In addition, an institution cannot make a capital distribution, such as a dividend or other distribution that is in substance a distribution of capital to the owners of the institution if following
such a distribution the institution would be undercapitalized. Thus, if payment of such a management fee or the making of such would cause the bank to become undercapitalized, it could not pay a management fee or dividend to us.

As of December 31, 2010, the bank was deemed to be well capitalized.

FDIC Insurance Assessments -The Banks deposits are insured by the Deposit Insurance Fund (the DIF) of
the FDIC up to the maximum amount permitted by law, which was permanently increased to $250,000 by the Dodd-Frank Act. The FDIC uses the DIF to protect against the loss of insured deposits if an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails.
Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC must take steps, as necessary, for the DIF reserve ratio to reach 1.35% of estimated insured deposits by September 30, 2020. The Bank is thus subject to FDIC deposit premium assessments.

Currently, 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, including the Bank, and long-term debt issuer ratings for large institutions that have such ratings. For
institutions assigned to the lowest risk category, the annual assessment rate ranges between 7 and 16 cents per $100 of domestic deposits. For institutions assigned to higher risk categories, assessment rates range from 17 to 77.5 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.

On September 29, 2009, the FDIC announced a uniform three basis points increase effective January 1, 2011, and on
November 12, 2009, adopted a rule requiring nearly all FDIC-insured depository institutions, including the Bank, to prepay their DIF assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for the following three years on December 30, 2009. At that
time, the FDIC indicated that the prepayment of DIF assessments was in lieu of additional special assessments; however, 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.

Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, the FDIC issued proposed regulations, which are anticipated to
become effective April 1, 2011, that amend current regulations to redefine the assessment base used for calculating deposit insurance assessments. Rather than the current system, whereby the assessment base is calculated by using an
insured depository institutions domestic deposits less a few allowable exclusions, the new assessment base will be calculated using the average consolidated total assets of an insured depository institution less the average tangible equity of
such institution. In the proposed regulations, the FDIC defines tangible equity as Tier 1 capital. The FDIC continues to utilize a risk-based assessment system in which institutions will be subject to assessment rates ranging from 2.5 to 45 basis
points, subject to adjustments for unsecured debt and, in the case of institutions outside the lowest risk category, brokered deposits. The proposed rules eliminate adjustments for secured liabilities.

The proposed rules retain the FDIC boards flexibility to, 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



8

##### Table of Contents

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. Although the
Dodd-Frank Act requires that the FDIC eliminate its requirement to pay dividends to depository institutions when the reserve ratio exceeds a certain threshold, the FDIC proposes a decreasing schedule of assessment rates that would take effect when
the DIF reserve ratio first meets or exceeds 1.15%. As proposed, if the DIF reserve ratio meets or exceeds 1.15%, base assessment rates would range from 1.5 to 40 basis points; if the DIF reserve ratio meets or exceeds 2%, base assessment rates
would range from 1 to 38 basis points; and if the DIF reserve ratio meets or exceeds 2.5%, base assessment rates would range from 0.5 to 35 basis points. All base assessment rates would continue to be subject to adjustments for unsecured debt and
brokered deposits.

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 capacity as a financial vehicle for the Federal Savings & Loan Insurance Corporation. The FICO assessment rate is set
quarterly and in 2010 ranged from 1.06 cents to 1.04 cents per $100 of assessable deposits. These assessments will continue until the debt matures between 2017 and 2019.

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
to opt-out of either or both components of the TLGP.

The Debt Guarantee Program:Under the TLGP, the
FDIC guaranteed certain newly issued senior unsecured debt issued by participating financial institutions through October 31, 2009. The annualized fee that the FDIC assessed to guarantee the senior unsecured debt varied by the length of
maturity of the debt. For debt with a maturity of 180 days or less (excluding overnight debt), the fee was 50 basis points; for debt with a maturity between 181 days and 364 days, the fee was 75 basis points, and for debt with a maturity of 365 days
or longer, the fee was 100 basis points. The Bank did not issue any debt pursuant to this program.

The Transaction
Account Guarantee Program: Under the TLGP, the FDIC fully guaranteed funds in non-interest bearing deposit accounts held at participating FDIC-insured institutions, regardless of dollar amount. The temporary guarantee was originally
scheduled to expire at the end of 2009, but was subsequently extended to December 31, 2010. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, beginning on the scheduled termination date for the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, or TAGP, and continuing
through December 31, 2012, unlimited insurance coverage will be provided for funds held in non-interest bearing transaction accounts, including Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTAs). During the TAGP extension period, the FDIC imposed a
surcharge between 15 and 25 basis points on the daily average balance in excess of $250,000 held in non-interest bearing transaction accounts. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, however, institutions are no longer separately assessed for the additional
coverage, and the unlimited insurance is included in assessments for the overall insurance program. One distinction from this new insurance and the TAGP, is the exclusion of minimal interest-bearing NOW accounts, which were previously covered under
the TAGP.

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.

##### Table of Contents

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 collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.

Commercial Real Estate Lending - Our 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 institutions 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.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enforcement
Powers -The Financial Institution Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) expanded and increased civil and criminal penalties available for use by the federal regulatory agencies against depository institutions and certain
institution-affiliated parties. Institution-affiliated parties primarily include management, employees, and agents of a financial institution, as well as independent contractors and consultants such as attorneys and accountants and
others who participate in the conduct of the financial institutions affairs. These practices can include the failure of an institution to timely file required reports or the filing of false or misleading information or the submission of
inaccurate reports. Civil penalties may be as high as $1,100,000 per day for such violations. Criminal penalties for some financial institution crimes have been increased to 20 years. In addition, regulators are provided with greater flexibility to
commence enforcement actions against institutions and institution-affiliated parties.

Possible enforcement actions include
the termination of deposit insurance. Furthermore, banking agencies power to issue regulatory orders were expanded. Such orders may, among other things, require affirmative action to correct any harm resulting from a violation or practice,
including restitution, reimbursement, indemnifications or guarantees against loss. A financial institution may also be ordered to restrict its growth, dispose of certain assets, rescind agreements or contracts, or take other actions as determined by
the ordering agency to be appropriate. The Dodd-Frank Act increases regulatory oversight, supervision and examination of banks, bank holding companies and their respective subsidiaries by the appropriate regulatory agency.

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;

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - The Dodd-Frank Act creates the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (the Bureau) within the Federal Reserve Board. The Bureau is tasked with establishing and implementing rules and regulations under certain federal consumer protection laws with respect to the conduct of providers of
certain consumer financial products and services. The Bureau has rulemaking authority over many of the statutes governing products and services offered to bank consumers. In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act permits states to adopt consumer protection
laws and regulations that are more stringent than those regulations promulgated by the Bureau and state attorneys general are permitted to enforce consumer protection rules adopted by the Bureau against state-chartered institutions.

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 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.

Under South Carolina law, the Bank is authorized to upstream to the Company, by way of a cash dividend, up to 100% of the Banks net
income in any calendar year without obtaining the prior approval of the SC State Board, provided that the Bank received a composite rating of one or two at the last examination conducted by a state or federal regulatory authority. All other
cash dividends require prior approval by the SC State Board. South Carolina law requires each state nonmember bank to maintain the same reserves against deposits as are required for a state member bank under the Federal Reserve Act. This
requirement is not expected to limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends on its common stock.

The payment of dividends
by the Company and the Bank may also be affected by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. If, in the opinion of the FDIC, the Bank were engaged in or about to engage in an unsafe or
unsound practice, the FDIC could require, after notice and a hearing, that the Bank stop or refrain engaging in the practice. The federal banking agencies 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 institution may not pay any dividend if payment would cause it to become
undercapitalized or if it already is undercapitalized. Moreover, the federal agencies 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 our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of the 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.

The Company and the Bank are also 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.

The Dodd-Frank Act enhances the requirements for certain transactions with affiliates under Section 23A and 23B, including an expansion of the definition of covered transactions and
increasing the amount of time for which collateral requirements regarding covered transactions must be maintained.

The Bank
is also subject to restrictions on extensions of credit to its 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. Within one year of enactment of the
Dodd-Frank Act, an insured depository institution will be prohibited from engaging in asset purchases or sales transactions with its officers, directors or principal shareholders unless on market terms and, if the transaction represents greater than
10% of the capital and surplus of the bank, has been approved by a majority of the disinterested directors.

Limitations on
Senior Executive Compensation

In June of 2010, federal banking regulators issued guidance designed to help ensure that
incentive compensation policies at banking organizations do not encourage excessive risk-taking or undermine the safety and soundness of the organization. In connection with this guidance, the regulatory agencies announced that they will review
incentive compensation arrangements as part of the regular, risk-focused supervisory process. Regulatory authorities may also 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. To ensure that incentive compensation arrangements
do not undermine safety and soundness at insured depository institutions, the incentive compensation guidance sets forth the following key principles:



| |  |  | Incentive compensation arrangements should provide employees incentives that appropriately balance risk and financial results in a manner that does
not encourage employees to expose the organization to imprudent risk;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Incentive compensation arrangements should be compatible with effective controls and risk management; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Incentive compensation arrangements should be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight by the board of
directors.

The Dodd-Frank Act

The Dodd-Frank Act has had a broad impact on the financial services industry, including significant regulatory and compliance changes
previously discussed and including, among other things, (i) enhanced resolution authority of troubled and failing banks and their holding companies; (ii) increased regulatory examination fees; and (iii) numerous other provisions
designed to improve supervision and oversight of, and strengthening safety and soundness for, the financial services sector. Additionally, the Dodd-Frank Act establishes a new framework for systemic risk oversight within the financial system to be
distributed among new and existing federal regulatory agencies, including the Financial Stability Oversight Council, the Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the FDIC.

Many of the requirements called for in the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented over time and most will be subject to implementing regulations over the course of several years. Given the uncertainty
associated with the manner in which the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will be implemented by the various regulatory agencies and through regulations, the full extent of the impact such requirements will have on financial institutions
operations is unclear. The changes resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act may impact the profitability of our business activities, require changes to certain of our business practices, impose upon us more stringent capital, liquidity and leverage ratio
requirements or otherwise adversely affect our business. These changes may also require us to invest significant management attention and resources to evaluate and make necessary changes in order to comply with new statutory and regulatory
requirements.

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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 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. The Bank cannot predict the nature or impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.

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 market areas, 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, 2010, a significant portion 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, our market areas
are experiencing such an economic downturn, and if it continues, our earnings could be further adversely affected.

The
overall deterioration in economic conditions may subject us to increased regulatory scrutiny in the current environment. In addition, further deterioration in national and local economic conditions in our markets could drive losses beyond that which
is provided for in our allowance for loan losses, resulting in the following other consequences: increased loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures; decline in demand for our products and services; decrease in deposits, adversely
affecting our liquidity position; and decline in value of collateral, reducing our customers borrowing power and the value of assets and collateral associated with our existing loans. As a community bank, we are less able to spread the risk of
unfavorable economic conditions than larger or more regional banks. Moreover, we cannot give any assurance that we will benefit from any market growth or favorable economic conditions in our primary market areas even if they do occur.

Recent negative developments in the financial industry and the domestic and international credit markets may adversely affect our
operations and results.

Negative developments during 2008 in the global credit and derivative markets have resulted
in uncertainty in the financial markets in general with the expectation of the general economic downturn continuing through 2011. As a result of this credit crunch, commercial as well as consumer loan portfolio performances have
deteriorated at many institutions and the competition for deposits and quality loans has increased significantly. In addition, the values of real estate collateral supporting many commercial loans and home mortgages have declined and may continue to
decline. Global securities markets and bank holding company stock prices in particular, have been negatively affected, as has the ability of banks and bank holding companies to raise capital or borrow in the debt markets. If these negative
trends continue, our business operations and financial results may be negatively 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 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 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 Dodd-Frank Act was enacted on July 21, 2010. The implications of
the Dodd-Frank Act, or its implementing regulations, on our business are unclear at this time, but it may adversely affect our business, results of operations and the underlying value of our common stock. The full effect of this legislation will not
be even reasonably certain until implementing regulations are promulgated, which could take years in some cases.

Some or all
of the changes may result in greater reporting requirements, assessment fees, operational restrictions, capital requirements, and other regulatory burdens for either, or both, the Bank and the Company, and many of our non-bank competitors may remain
free from such limitations. This could affect our ability to attract and maintain depositors, to offer competitive products and services, and to expand our business.

Congress may 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.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) or other governmental actions may not stabilize the financial
services industry.

The EESA, which was signed into law on October 3, 2008, is intended to alleviate the
financial crisis affecting the United States banking system. A number of programs have been, and are being, developed and implemented under EESA. The EESA may not have the intended effect, however, and as a result, the condition of the
financial services industry could decline instead of improve. The failure of the EESA to improve the condition of the United States banking system could significantly adversely affect our access to funding or capital, the trading price of our
stock, and other elements of our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

In addition to EESA, a variety of
legislative, regulatory, and other proposals have been discussed or may be introduced in an effort to address the financial crisis. Depending on the scope of such proposals, if they are adopted and applied to the Company, our financial
condition, results of operations or liquidity could, directly or indirectly, benefit or be adversely affected in a manner that could be material to our business.

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. 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.

Our small- to medium-sized business target markets may have fewer financial resources to weather a continued 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.

As a community bank, we have different lending risks than larger banks.

We provide services to our local communities. Our ability to diversify our economic risks is limited by our own
local markets and economies. We lend primarily to individuals and to small to medium-sized businesses, which may expose us to greater lending risks than those of banks lending to larger, better-capitalized businesses with longer operating
histories.

##### Table of Contents

We manage our credit exposure through careful monitoring of loan applicants and loan
concentrations in particular industries, and through loan approval and review procedures. We have established an evaluation process designed to determine the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses. While this evaluation process uses
historical and other objective information, the classification of loans and the establishment of loan losses is an estimate based on experience, judgment and expectations regarding our borrowers, the economies in which we and our borrowers operate,
as well as the judgment of our regulators. We cannot assure you that our loan loss reserves will be sufficient to absorb future loan losses or prevent a material adverse effect on our business, profitability or 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 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. The recent
weakening of the real estate market could result in an increase in the number of borrowers who default on their loans and a reduction in the value of the 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.

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.

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.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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



16

##### Table of Contents

required. Additions to the allowance for loan losses would result in a decrease of our net income, and possibly our capital.

Additionally, federal and state regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our provision
for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of our management. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulators could have a negative effect on our
operating results.

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 October 19, 2010, the FDIC adopted a new DIF Restoration Plan, which requires the DIF to attain a 1.35%
reserve ratio by September 30, 2020 and foregoes the uniform three basis point-increase scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2011. In addition, the FDIC modified the method by which assessments are determined and, effective April 1,
2011, adjusted assessment rates, which will range from 2.5 to 45 basis points (annualized), subject to adjustments for unsecured debt and, in the case of small institutions outside the lowest risk category and certain large and highly complex
institutions, brokered deposits. Further increased FDIC assessment premiums, due to our risk classification, emergency assessments, or implementation of the modified DIF reserve ratio, could adversely impact our earnings.

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.

Additionally, 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.

Our recent operating results may not be indicative
of our future operating results.

We may not be able to sustain our historical rates of growth of assets and earnings,
and we may not be able to grow our business at all. Although we have plans for continued expansion of our company, our historical results of operation will not necessarily be indicative of our future operations. Various factors, such as
economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations, and competition, may also impede our ability to expand our market presence. If we experience a significant decrease in our historical rate of growth, our results of operations and
financial condition may be adversely affected because a high percentage of our operating costs are fixed expenses.

We are subject to liquidity risk in our operations.

Liquidity risk is the possibility of being unable, at a reasonable cost and within acceptable risk tolerances, to pay obligations as they
come due, to capitalize on growth opportunities as they arise, or to pay regular dividends because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding on a timely basis. Liquidity is required to fund various obligations, including credit
obligations to borrowers, withdrawals by depositors, repayment of debt, dividends to shareholders, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. Liquidity is derived primarily from retail deposit growth and retention, principal and interest payments
on loans and investment securities, net cash provided from operations and access to other funding sources. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance our activities could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the
financial services industry in general. Factors that could detrimentally affect our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business activity due to a market downturn or adverse regulatory action against us. Our ability to
borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a severe disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry as a whole, given the recent
turmoil faced by banking organizations in the domestic and worldwide credit markets. Currently, we have access to liquidity to meet our current anticipated needs; however, our access to additional borrowed funds could become limited in the future,
and we may be required to pay above market rates for additional borrowed funds, if we are able to obtain them at all, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

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

While we have been paying annual dividends, we make no assurances that we will continue to 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; however, statutory and regulatory limitations apply to the payment of dividends by a subsidiary bank to its bank holding company.

We may be required to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed and
could be dilutive to our existing shareholders, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

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 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.

We are dependent on key individuals and the loss of one or more of these key individuals could curtail our growth and adversely affect our prospects.

##### Table of Contents

Our president and chief executive officer, has extensive and long-standing ties within our
primary market area and he has contributed significantly to our growth. If we lose his services it could be difficult to replace him, and our business and development could be materially and adversely affected.

Our success also depends, in part, on our continued ability to attract and retain experienced loan originators, as well as other
management personnel. The loss of the services of several of such key personnel could adversely affect our growth strategy and prospects to the extent we are unable to replace such personnel.

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

If we ever decide to acquire other financial institutions, expand into new markets, open new lines of business, 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 successfully.

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 acting Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our
current disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2010. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010 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 Annual 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 13a-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, the Companys management has evaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010
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, the Companys management has evaluated and concluded that the Companys internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

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