# Notes to Unaudited
Consolidated Financial Statements

# NOTE 1  NATURE OF
BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Independence
Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) is a South Carolina corporation
organized to operate as a bank holding company pursuant to the Federal Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 and the South Carolina Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1996,
to own and control all of the capital stock of Independence National Bank (the
Bank). The Bank is a national association organized under the laws of the
United States to conduct general banking business in Greenville, South Carolina.

# Basis of Presentation

The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not
include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007. For further information, refer
to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

# NOTE 2  SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A
summary of these policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2006.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for 2006 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board that do not require adoption until a future date are not
expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

# Cash and Cash Equivalents

For
purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash, amounts due from
banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.

# Income (Loss) per Share

Basic
income (loss) per share represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive income (loss) per share
reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential
common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company
relate to outstanding stock options and warrants, and are determined using the treasury
stock method. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, there were
90,350 stock options that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share
because their exercise prices were greater than the calculated average market price of the
common shares. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, as a result
of the Companys net loss, all of the potential common shares were considered
anti-dilutive.

# NOTE 3  INVESTMENT
SECURITIES

Investment
securities classified as available for sale are carried at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of
shareholders equity (net of estimated tax effects). Realized gains or losses on the
sale of investments are based on the specific identification method.

At
September 30, 2007, the investment portfolio included an unrealized loss of approximately
$65,000. The Company believes, based on industry analyst reports and credit ratings that
the deterioration in fair values of investment securities available for sale is attributed
to changes in market interest rates and not in the credit quality of the issuer.
Accordingly, these losses are not considered other-than-temporary. The Company has the
ability and intent to hold these securities until such time as the value recovers or the
securities mature.

# Item 2.   
Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following discussion reviews
our results of operations and assesses our financial condition. You should read the
following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. The commentary should be read in conjunction with the discussion of
forward-looking statements, the financial statements, and the related notes and the other
statistical information included in this report.

# DISCUSSION OF
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains statements which
constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements are
based on many assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of future performance. Our
actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking
statements, as they will depend on many factors about which we are unsure, including many
factors which are beyond our control. The words may, would,
could, will, expect, anticipate,
believe, intend, plan, and estimate, as
well as similar expressions, are meant to identify such forward-looking statements. Our
actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements, and our operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and
uncertainties that include, without limitation, those described under the heading
Risk Factors in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the following:

| |  | significant increases in competitive pressure in the banking and financial services industries;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | changes in the interest rate environment which could reduce anticipated or actual margins;
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | changes in political conditions or the legislative or regulatory environment;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally and especially in our primary service area,
becoming less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | changes occurring in business conditions and inflation;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------

| |  | changes in technology;
| | - | ----------------------

| |  | changes in deposit flows;
| | - | -------------------------

| |  | changes in monetary and tax policies;
| | - | -------------------------------------

| |  | the level of allowance for loan loss;
| | - | -------------------------------------

| |  | the rate of delinquencies and amounts of charge-offs;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------

| |  | the rates of loan growth and the lack of seasoning in our loan portfolio;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  | adverse changes in asset quality and resulting credit risk-related losses and expenses;
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

| |  | changes in the securities markets; and
| | - | --------------------------------------

| |  | other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All forward-looking statements in
this report are based on information available to us as of the date of this report. We
undertake no obligation to publicly update or otherwise revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

# Critical Accounting
Policies

We have adopted various accounting
policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America and with general practices within the banking industry in the
preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described
in the footnotes to our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006,
as filed on our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

Certain accounting policies involve
significant judgments and assumptions by us that have a material impact on the carrying
value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be
critical accounting policies. The judgment and assumptions we use are based on historical
experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Because of the nature of the judgment and assumptions we make, actual results could differ
from these judgments and estimates that could have a material impact on the carrying
values of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

# Allowance for Loan Losses

We believe the allowance for loan
losses is the critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgment and
estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Some of the more
critical judgments supporting the amount of our allowance for loan losses include
judgments about the credit worthiness of borrowers, the estimated value of the underlying
collateral, the assumptions about cash flow, determination of loss factors for estimating
credit losses, the impact of current events and conditions, and other factors impacting
the level of probable inherent losses. Under different conditions or using different
assumptions, the actual amount of credit losses incurred by us may be different from
managements estimates provided in our consolidated financial statements. Refer to
the portion of this discussion that addresses our allowance for loan losses for a more
complete discussion of our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for
loan losses.

# Income Taxes

We use assumptions and estimates in
determining income taxes payable or refundable for the current year, deferred income tax
liabilities and assets for events recognized differently in our financial statements and
income tax returns, and income tax benefit or expense. Determining these amounts requires
analysis of certain transactions and interpretation of tax laws and regulations.
Management exercises judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of
resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments and estimates are reevaluated on a
continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Valuation allowances are
established to reduce deferred tax assets if it is determined to be more likely than
not that all or some portion of the potential deferred tax asset will not be
realized. No assurance can be given that either the tax returns submitted by us or the
income tax reported on the financial statements will not be adjusted by either adverse
rulings by the United States Tax Court, changes in the tax code, or assessments made by
the Internal Revenue Service. We are subject to potential adverse adjustments, including,
but not limited to, an increase in the statutory federal or state income tax rates, the
permanent non-deductibility of amounts currently considered deductible either now or in
future periods, and the dependency on the generation of future taxable income, including
capital gains, in order to ultimately realize deferred income tax assets.

# Overview

The following discussion describes
our results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007
and 2006, and analyzes our financial condition as of September 30, 2007.

Like most community banks, we derive
the majority of our income from interest we receive on our loans and investments. Our
primary source of funds for making these loans and investments is our deposits, on which
we pay interest. Consequently, one of the key measures of our success is our amount of net
interest income, or the difference between the income on our interest-earning assets, such
as loans and investments, and the expense on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as
deposits and borrowings. Another key measure is the spread between the yield we earn on
these interest-earning assets and the rate we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities.

There are risks inherent in all
loans, so we maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable losses on existing
loans that may become uncollectible. We establish and maintain this allowance by charging
a provision for loan losses against our operating earnings. In the following section we
have included a detailed discussion of this process.

In addition to earning interest on
our loans and investments, we earn income through fees and other expenses we charge to our
customers. We describe the various components of this non-interest income, as well as our
non-interest expenses, in the following discussion.

# Results of Operations

Three months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006

For the quarter ended September 30,
2007, we recorded net income of $43,233, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to a net
loss of $324,319, or $.16 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an
improvement of $367,552, or 113%. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, we
recognized $1.9 million in interest income and $981,676 in interest expense, resulting in
net interest income of $962,216, an increase of $274,289, or 40%, over the $687,927 we
earned during same period in 2006. This increase in net interest income is a result of our
current year growth in average earning assets, which increased to $98.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2007 from $60.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, an increase of $38.2 million, or 64%. This growth was partially offset
by a decrease in

net interest margin of 68 basis
points from 4.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to 3.80% for the three
months ended September 30, 2007. This decrease was due to an increase in the cost of funds
between quarters.

Provision for loan losses was
$109,500 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $413,250, or 79%,
compared to the expense of $522,750 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. This
decrease in provision expense is due to the additional provision expense of $398,900 that
was recorded in September 2006 as a specific reserve related to one loan relationship that
was determined to be impaired. See additional information related to this impairment under
the Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses section below.

For the three months ended September
30, 2007, non-interest income was $10,367 compared to $11,849 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006. Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006 was derived from service charges on deposits, customer service fees, rental income,
and mortgage origination income.

During the third quarter of 2007, we
incurred non-interest expenses of $843,650, compared to non-interest expenses of $614,515
for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $229,135, or 27%. This increase
in non-interest expenses between comparable quarters resulted primarily from the following
fluctuations: an increase of $105,631 in compensation and benefits due to the addition of
employees in the current year as well as increased stock option and bonus expense, an
increase of $20,881 in professional fees due to increased legal expenses and additional
current year costs related to compliance with Sarbanes Oxley regulations, an increase of
$18,555 in insurance expense due to increases in FDIC assessment costs along with normal
policy rate increases, an increase of $44,277 in occupancy and equipment primarily due to
additional rent expense related to the leasing of additional space in our current facility
and the addition of the Wade Hampton branch, as well as increased utilities expense and
property taxes, and an increase of $23,990 in data processing and related costs due to an
increase in our customer base over the prior year.

Income tax benefit for the quarter
ended September 30, 2007 was $23,800 compared to $113,170 for the quarter ended September
30, 2006. The benefit for 2007 relates to the generation of taxable income offset by the
usage of net operating loss carry-forwards. The benefit for 2006 related primarily to net
operating loss carry-forwards created during that period.

Nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006

For the nine months ended September
30, 2007, we recorded net income of $117,251, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to a
net loss of $662,518, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30,
2006, an improvement of $779,769, or 118%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
we recognized $5.2 million in interest income and $2.6 million in interest expense,
resulting in net interest income of $2.7 million, an increase of $924,623, or 53%, over
the $1,758,219 we earned during the same period in 2006. This increase in net interest
income is a result of our current year growth in average earning assets, which increased
to $88.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $54.7 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $34.1 million, or 62%. This growth
was partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin of 27 basis points from 4.23%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to 3.96% for the nine months ended September
30, 2007. This decrease was due to an increase in the cost of funds between periods.

Provision for loan losses was
$422,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, a decrease of $333,250, or 44%,
compared to the expense of $755,750 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This
decrease in provision expense is due to the additional provision expense of $398,900 that
was recorded in September 2006 as a specific reserve related to one loan relationship that
was determined to be impaired. See additional information related to this impairment under
the Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses section below.

For the nine months ended September
30, 2007, non-interest income was $37,158 compared to $36,912 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006 was derived from service charges on deposits, customer service fees, rental income,
and mortgage origination income.

During the current year, we incurred
non-interest expenses of $2.2 million compared to non-interest expenses of $1.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $314,370, or 16%. This
increase in non-interest expenses between 2007 and 2006 resulted primarily from increases
in compensation and benefits of $60,803, due to the addition of employees in the current
year as well as increased stock option and bonus expense, marketing expenses of $60,128,
due to an emphasis on branding and advertising, insurance expenses of $48,847, due to
increases in FDIC assessment costs along with normal policy rate increases, occupancy and
equipment of $66,166, due to additional rent expense related to the leasing of additional
space in our current facility and the addition of the Wade Hampton branch, as well as
increased utilities expense and property taxes, and data processing and related costs of
$53,225 due to an increase in our customer base over prior year.

Income tax benefit for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 was $61,700 compared to $225,680 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. The benefit for 2007 relates to the generation of taxable income
offset by the usage of net operating loss carry-forwards. The benefit for 2006 related
primarily to net operating loss carry-forwards created during that period.

# Assets and Liabilities

General

Total assets increased $32.4 million,
or 43%, to $108.2 million at September 30, 2007 from $75.7 million at December 31, 2006.
The increase in assets is due to net loan growth of $31.4 million, which was funded by
deposit growth of $26.3 million. Our management closely monitors and seeks to maintain
appropriate levels of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities so that
maturities of assets are such that adequate funds are provided to meet customer
withdrawals and demand.

At September 30, 2007, our total
assets consisted principally of $6.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $5.2 million in
investment securities available for sale, $93.1 million in net loans, and $1.6 million in
property and equipment. Liabilities at September 30, 2007 totaled $89.5 million,
consisting principally of $83.2 million in deposits and $6.0 million in borrowings. At
September 30, 2007, shareholders equity was $18.7 million.

Loans

Since loans typically provide higher
interest yields than other types of interest-earning assets, we intend to invest a
substantial percentage of our earning assets in our loan portfolio. At September 30, 2007,
our loan portfolio consisted primarily of $60.5 million of commercial real estate loans,
$14.4 million of commercial business loans, and $19.6 million of consumer and home equity
loans.

We discontinue accrual of interest on
a loan when we conclude it is doubtful that we will be able to collect interest from the
borrower. We reach this conclusion by taking into account factors such as the
borrowers financial condition, economic and business conditions, and the results of
our previous collection efforts. Generally, we place a delinquent loan in non-accrual
status when the loan becomes 90 days or more past due. When we place a loan in non-accrual
status, we reverse all interest which has been accrued on the loan but remains unpaid and
deduct this interest from earnings as a reduction of reported interest income. We do not
accrue any additional interest on the loan balance until we conclude the collection of
both principal and interest is reasonably certain. We had $1.1 million and $589,000 in
non-accrual loans at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. This balance
represents 1.15% of gross loans at quarter-end. At September 30, 2007, we were not aware
of any potential problem loans that were not already categorized as nonaccrual.

At September 30, 2007, we had one
borrowing relationship with an aggregate principal balance of $1.1 million that was
considered classified. This relationship was placed on non-accrual status in July 2007.
Based on our current evaluation of the financial condition of the borrower and the
sufficient value of the collateral, we do not believe we will incur a material loss from
this relationship at this time. Based on the same factors, management does not consider
this relationship to be impaired.

On September 6, 2006, we determined
it to be necessary to record an additional provision for loan losses of $398,900 as an
impairment charge, or specific reserve, related to one borrowing relationship with an
aggregate principal balance of approximately $895,000, of which $477,885 was considered
impaired. Our loss estimate was based on an assessment of the underlying collateral
securing this relationship. In April 2007, the underlying collateral of this relationship
was fully liquidated, the funds were applied to the loans, and the remaining balances were
charged off. No additional loss was incurred by the Bank. Charge-offs for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 were $397,661 and all related to this one loan relationship.
There were no charge-offs during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Provision and Allowance
for Loan Losses

We have established an allowance for
loan losses through a provision for loan losses charged to expense on our consolidated
statement of operations. The allowance for loan losses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006 is presented below:

|                                           | Three Months Ended | Nine Months Ended
|------------------------------------------ | ------------------ | -----------------
|
|
|Balance at beginning of the period         |                    |                  
|Provision for loan losses                  |                    |                  
|Loans charged-off                          |                    |                  
|Recoveries of loans previously charged-off |                    |                  
|                                           |                    |                  
|Balance at end of the period               |                    |                  
|                                           |                    |                  

The allowance for loan losses was
$1.2 million as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. For the quarter ended
September 30, 2007, provision for loan losses was $109,500, a decrease of $413,250, or
79%, over the three months ended September 30, 2006. Provision for loan losses was
$422,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $755,750 for the same
period in 2006, a decrease of $333,250, or 44%. Provision expense was higher in 2006 due
to the additional provision that was recorded in September 2006 as a specific reserve
related to the loan relationship discussed under Loans above.

During the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, we recorded charge-offs of $397,661 related to the loan relationship
discussed under Loans above. No other charge-offs have been recognized in the
current year. As of September 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses was 1.30% of gross
loans, compared to 1.90% of gross loans as of December 31, 2006. This percentage decrease
is due to the resolution of the loan relationship noted under Loans above and
the corresponding decrease in the specific reserve.

The allowance for loan losses
represents an amount which we believe will be adequate to absorb probable losses on
existing loans that may become uncollectible. Our judgment as to the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses is based on a number of assumptions about future events, which
we believe to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove to be accurate. Our
determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on evaluations of the
collectibility of loans, including consideration of factors such as the balance of
impaired loans, the quality, mix, and size of our overall loan portfolio, economic
conditions that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, the amount and quality of
collateral securing the loans, our historical loan loss experience, and a review of
specific problem loans. We also consider subjective issues such as changes in the lending
policies and procedures, changes in the local/national economy, changes in volume or type
of credits, changes in volume/severity of problem loans, quality of loan review and board
of director oversight, concentrations of credit, and peer group comparisons. Due to our
limited operating history, with the exception of the specific reserve described above, to
date the provision for loan losses has been made primarily as a result of our assessment
of general loan loss risk compared to banks of similar size and maturity. Due to our short
operating history, the loans in our loan portfolio and our lending relationships are of
very recent origin. In general, loans do not begin to show signs of credit deterioration
or default until they have been outstanding for some period of time, a process known as
seasoning. As a result, a portfolio of older loans will usually behave more predictably
than a newer portfolio. Because our loan portfolio is new, the current level of
delinquencies and defaults may not be representative of the level that will prevail when
the portfolio becomes more seasoned, which may be higher than current levels. If
delinquencies and defaults increase, we may be required to increase our provision for loan
losses, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Periodically, we will adjust the amount of the allowance based on changing circumstances.
We will charge recognized losses to the allowance and add subsequent recoveries back to
the allowance for loan losses. There can be no assurance that charge-offs of loans in
future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses as estimated at any point in
time or that provisions for loan losses will not be significant to a particular accounting
period.

Deposits

Our primary source of funds for loans
and investments is our deposits. At September 30, 2007, we had $83.2 million in deposits
which consisted primarily of $7.4 million in demand deposit accounts, $12.8 million in
money market accounts and $62.9 million in time deposits. During the fourth quarter of
2006, we began obtaining deposits outside of our local market area in the form of brokered
time deposits. At September 30, 2007, we had $34.9 million in brokered time deposits
compared to $12.4 million at December 31, 2006. This increase in brokered time deposits
was used to fund loan growth during the year. Due to the interest rate environment in our
market, as well as strong competition from other banking and

11

---

financial services companies in
gathering deposits, brokered time deposits allow us to obtain funding at a lower interest
rate than local market deposits and other funding sources in order to support loan growth.
We plan to continue the use of brokered time deposits, while maintaining an effort to
gather core deposits in our local market.

Borrowings

We use borrowings to fund growth of
earning assets in excess of deposit growth. Borrowings totaled $6.0 million at September
30, 2007, compared to $123,773 at December 31, 2006. This increase is primarily due to the
addition of a Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Advance in the amount of $5.0
million during June 2007. This additional borrowing was used to support earning asset
growth. The advance has a rate of 5.04% and matures in June 2012, with an option to be
called by the FHLB in June 2009. The remaining balance in borrowings represents federal
funds purchased and customer repurchase agreements.

# Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to meet
current and future obligations through liquidation or maturity of existing assets or the
acquisition of liabilities. We manage both assets and liabilities to achieve appropriate
levels of liquidity. Cash and short-term investments are our primary sources of asset
liquidity. These funds provide a cushion against short-term fluctuations in cash flow from
both deposits and loans. The investment portfolio is our principal source of secondary
asset liquidity. However, the availability of this source of funds is influenced by market
conditions and pledging agreements. Individual and commercial deposits and borrowings are
our primary source of funds for credit activities. We maintain a federal funds purchased
line of credit with a correspondent bank totaling $5.0 million. We are also a member of
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, from which applications for borrowings can be made
for leverage purposes, if so desired, in an amount up to 20% of the total assets of the
Bank. We believe our liquidity sources are adequate to meet our operating needs. The level
of liquidity is measured by the cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities
available for sale-to-total assets ratio, which was at 10.40% at September 30, 2007.

# Impact of Off-Balance
Sheet Instruments

Through the operations of our Bank,
we have made contractual commitments to extend credit in the ordinary course of our
business activities. These commitments are legally binding agreements to lend money to our
customers at predetermined interest rates for a specified period of time. At September 30,
2007, we had issued commitments to extend credit of $19.5 million through various types of
lending arrangements. We evaluate each customers credit worthiness on a case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of
credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral varies but may
include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and commercial and
residential real estate. We manage the credit risk on these commitments by subjecting them
to normal underwriting and risk management processes.

# Commitments and
Contingencies

On July 6, 2007, we entered into an
agreement to purchase approximately one acre of land in Simpsonville, South Carolina,
contingent upon regulatory approval.  We also filed an application with the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency on September 20, 2007 to open a full-service branch at
this location.  On October 24, 2007, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
approved our application to open a full-service branch at the intersection of Highway 14
and Stokes Road in Simpsonville, South Carolina. The cost of the land is approximately
$985,000. We expect to begin building a full-service branch at this location during the
first quarter of 2008.

# Capital Resources

Total shareholders equity was
$18.7 million at September 30, 2007, an increase of $233,423, or 1%, from $18.5 million at
December 31, 2006. This increase is due to our net income for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 of $117,251, the decrease of $36,972 in unrealized loss on securities
available for sale, and the capital impact of $79,200 in compensation expense related to
stock option grants.

Our Bank and Company are subject to
various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
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 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.

Quantitative measures established by
regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of Tier
1 and total capital as a percentage of assets and off-balance-sheet exposures, adjusted
for risk weights ranging from 0% to 100%. Tier 1 capital of the Bank consists of common
shareholders equity, excluding the unrealized gain or loss on securities
available-for-sale, less certain intangible assets. The Banks Tier 2 capital
consists of the allowance for loan losses subject to certain limitations. Total capital
for purposes of computing the capital ratios consists of the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2
capital. The regulatory minimum requirements are 4% for Tier 1 capital and 8% for total
risk-based capital.

The Bank is also required to maintain
capital at a minimum level based on quarterly average assets, which is known as the
leverage ratio. Only the strongest banks are allowed to maintain capital at the minimum
requirement of 3%. All others are subject to maintaining ratios 1% to 2% above the
minimum. The Bank exceeded its minimum regulatory capital ratios as of September 30, 2007,
as well as the ratios to be considered well capitalized.

The following table summarizes the
capital amounts and ratios of the Bank and the regulatory minimum requirements at
September 30, 2007.

# Item 3.   Controls and
Procedures

As
of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current
disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2007. There have been
no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal
quarter ended September 30, 2007 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.
