         This report contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are not historical
facts, rather statements based on DutchFork Bancshares, Inc.'s current
expectations regarding its business strategies, intended results and future
performance. Forward-looking statements are preceded by terms such as "expects,"
"believes," "anticipates," "intends" and similar expressions.

         Management's ability to predict results or the effect of future plans
or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect actual results
include interest rate trends, the general economic climate in the market area in
which DutchFork Bancshares, Inc. operates, as well as nationwide, DutchFork
Bancshares, Inc.'s ability to control costs and expenses, competitive products
and pricing, loan delinquency rates and changes in federal and state legislation
and regulation. These factors should be considered in evaluating the
forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, DutchFork
Bancshares, Inc. assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.


                                     PART I

Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

         DutchFork Bancshares, Inc., headquartered in Newberry, South Carolina,
was formed in February 2000 as the holding company for Newberry Federal Savings
Bank in connection with the conversion of Newberry Federal from mutual to stock
form of ownership. The conversion was completed on July 5, 2000 through the sale
of 1,560,550 shares of common stock by DutchFork Bancshares at a price of $10.00
per share. DutchFork Bancshares' sole business activity is the ownership of all
of Newberry Federal's capital stock. DutchFork Bancshares does not transact any
material business other than through its subsidiary, Newberry Federal. DutchFork
Bancshares is subject to the regulation of the Office of Thrift Supervision and
the Securities and Exchange Commission. DutchFork Bancshares is listed on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol DFBS.

         Newberry Federal's principal business is attracting deposits from the
general public and originating loans secured by one-to-four family residential
real estate properties located in its market area. Newberry Federal also
maintains a significant investment securities portfolio primarily because of the
low loan demand in its primary market area. Newberry Federal is regulated by the
Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Newberry Federal's deposits are federally insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and are currently insured to the maximum allowable amount
by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Savings Association
Insurance Fund. Newberry Federal is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank
System.

Market Area

         Newberry Federal is headquartered in Newberry, South Carolina. Newberry
Federal's primary deposit gathering and lending area is concentrated in the
communities surrounding its three banking offices located in Newberry County,
although Newberry Federal also originates loans to borrowers and accepts
deposits from individuals residing in the bordering areas of contiguous
counties. Newberry County is located in central South Carolina, approximately 35
miles northwest of Columbia, the state capital.

         Newberry County is located northwest of Columbia on Interstate 26 in
central South Carolina. On average, the demographics of Newberry County are
weaker than South Carolina and the U.S. as a whole.

Competition

         Newberry Federal faces intense competition for the attraction of
deposits and origination of loans in its primary market area. Its most direct
competition for deposits has historically come from the several commercial and
savings banks operating in Newberry Federal's primary market area and, to a
lesser extent, from other financial institutions, such

                                        3

<PAGE>



as brokerage firms, credit unions and insurance companies. While those entities
still provide a source of competition for deposits, Newberry Federal currently
faces competition for deposits from the mutual fund industry as customers seek
alternative sources of investment for their funds. Newberry Federal also faces
competition for investors' funds from their direct purchase of short-term money
market securities and other corporate and government securities. While Newberry
Federal's faces competition for loans from the significant number of financial
institutions, primarily savings banks and commercial banks in its market area,
its most significant competition comes from other financial service providers,
such as the mortgage companies and mortgage brokers operating in its primary
market area. Competition may increase due to the increasing trend for
non-depository financial service companies entering the financial services
market, such as insurance companies, securities companies and specialty
financial companies. Competition for deposits and the origination of loans may
limit Newberry Federal's growth in the future.

Lending Activities

         General. The types of loans that Newberry Federal may originate are
limited by federal laws and regulations. Interest rates that Newberry Federal
charges on loans are affected principally by its current asset/liability
strategy, the demand for the type of loans being originated, the supply of money
available for lending purposes and the rates offered by competitors. All of
these factors are affected by general and economic conditions, monetary policies
of the federal government, including the Federal Reserve Board, legislative tax
policies and governmental budgetary matters.

         One- to Four-Family Real Estate Loans. Newberry Federal's primary
lending activity is the origination of loans secured by one- to four-family
residences located in its primary market area. Newberry Federal offers several
fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgage loan products. The loan fees charged,
interest rates and other provisions of Newberry Federal's mortgage loans are
determined by Newberry Federal on the basis of its own pricing criteria and
market conditions. Although Newberry Federal originates all loans on loan
documents approved for use by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the loans are
generally not eligible for sale in the secondary market because of various
factors, including credit standards, that do not conform to secondary market
guidelines.

         Newberry Federal's fixed-rate loans typically have maturities of 15 to
30 years. Generally, all conforming fixed-rate loans with maturities over 15
years are sold in the secondary market.

         Newberry Federal's adjustable-rate mortgage loans are typically based
on a 15-year or 30-year amortization schedule with interest rates that adjust
annually based on the weekly average yield on U.S. treasury securities, adjusted
to a constant maturity of one year. Occasionally, Newberry Federal offers
adjustable-rate mortgage loans with initial rates below prevailing rates,
although loans are generally underwritten based on the fully indexed interest
rate. The maximum amount by which the interest rate may be increased or
decreased in a given period on adjustable-rate mortgage loans is generally 1%
per year and the lifetime interest rate cap is generally 5% over the initial
interest rate of the loan. Newberry Federal qualifies the borrower based on the
borrower's ability to repay the adjustable-rate mortgage loan based on the
maximum interest rate at the first adjustment. Newberry Federal does not
originate negative amortization loans. The terms and conditions of the
adjustable-rate mortgage loans offered by Newberry Federal, including the index
for interest rates, may vary from time to time. Newberry Federal believes that
the annual adjustment feature of its adjustable- rate mortgage loans also
provides flexibility to meet competitive conditions as to initial rate
concessions while limiting the duration of the initial rate concession.

         Adjustable-rate mortgage loans help reduce Newberry Federal's exposure
to changes in interest rates. There are, however, unquantifiable credit risks
resulting from the potential of increased costs due to changed rates to be paid
by the borrower. It is possible that during periods of rising interest rates the
risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase as a result of
repricing and the increased payments required by the borrower. In addition,
although adjustable-rate mortgage loans allow Newberry Federal to increase the
sensitivity of its asset base to changes in interest rates, the extent of this
interest sensitivity is limited by the annual and lifetime interest rate
adjustment limits. Because of these considerations Newberry Federal can give no
assurance that yields on adjustable-rate mortgage loans will be sufficient to
offset increases in Newberry Federal's cost of funds during periods of rising
interest rates. Newberry Federal believes these risks, which have not had a
material adverse effect on Newberry Federal to date, generally are less than the
risks associated with holding fixed-rate loans in its portfolio.

         Newberry Federal's residential mortgage loans typically do not exceed
80% of the appraised value of the property. Newberry Federal's lending policies
permit Newberry Federal to lend up to 95% of the appraised value of the
property; however, Newberry Federal generally requires private mortgage
insurance on the portion of the principal amount that exceeds 80% of the
appraised value of the property.

         Newberry Federal also requires fire, casualty, title, hazard insurance
and, if appropriate, flood insurance be maintained on all properties securing
real estate loans made by Newberry Federal. An independent state-certified
appraiser generally appraises all properties.

         In an effort to provide financing for first-time home buyers, Newberry
Federal offers a first-time home buyers program to qualified individuals. Under
this program Newberry Federal offers single family residential mortgage loans
that are originated using Newberry Federal's standard underwriting guidelines,
but with reduced downpayment requirements. Newberry Federal does not require
private mortgage insurance on these loans unless the loan balance exceeds 90% of
the lower of the appraised value or selling price of the property securing the
loan.

         Commercial Real Estate Loans. Newberry Federal originates mortgage
loans for the acquisition and refinancing of commercial real estate properties.
Commercial real estate loans are fully amortizing loans that are generally
originated with variable rates tied to the prime lending rate. The maximum
loan-to-value ratio for a commercial loan is generally 75% of appraised value.
Newberry Federal's commercial real estate loans are generally secured by

                                        6

<PAGE>



office, motel, retail and owner occupied properties and churches, all of which
are located in Newberry Federal's primary market area.

         Commercial real estate lending affords Newberry Federal an opportunity
to receive interest at rates higher than those generally available from one- to
four-family residential lending. However, loans secured by these properties
usually are greater in amount and are more difficult to evaluate and monitor
and, therefore, involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family
residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by income
producing properties are often dependent on the successful operation and
management of the properties, repayment of these loans may be affected by
adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. Newberry Federal
seeks to minimize these risks by generally limiting the maximum loan-to-value
ratio to up to 75% for multi-family and commercial real estate loans and by
strictly scrutinizing the financial condition of the borrower, the cash flow of
the project, the quality of the collateral and the management of the property
securing the loan. Newberry Federal also generally obtains loan guarantees from
financially capable parties based on a review of personal financial statements.

         Residential Construction Loans. Newberry Federal originates
construction loans to individuals and home builders located within Newberry
Federal's primary market area for the construction and acquisition of personal
residences. Newberry Federal does not originate speculative construction loans
to builders.

         Construction loans generally provide for the payment of interest only
during the construction phase. At the end of the construction phase, the loan
converts automatically to a permanent mortgage loan without a new loan closing.
Construction loans are made with a maximum loan to value ratio of 90%, provided
that the borrower obtains private mortgage insurance on the loan if the loan
balance exceeds 80% of the appraised value or sales price, whichever is less, of
the secured property.

         Before making a commitment to fund a construction loan, Newberry
Federal requires an appraisal of the property by an independent state-certified
appraiser. Newberry Federal also reviews and inspects each property before
disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. Loan proceeds
are disbursed after inspection based on the percentage of completion method.

         Construction lending generally involves a higher degree of risk than
single-family permanent mortgage lending because of the greater potential for
disagreements between borrowers and builders and the failure of builders to pay
subcontractors. Additional risk often exists because of the inherent difficulty
in estimating both a property's value and the estimated cost of the property. If
the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, Newberry Federal may
be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to protect
the value of the property. If the estimate of value upon completion proves to be
inaccurate, Newberry Federal may be confronted with a property whose value is
insufficient to assure full repayment. Newberry Federal has attempted to
minimize the foregoing risks by, among other things, limiting its construction
lending to residential properties, not making loans to builders and by having
all construction loans convert to permanent mortgage loans at the end of the
construction phase.

         Land Loans. Newberry Federal occasionally originates loans secured by
unimproved land. These loans have terms of up to 15 years and generally have
fixed interest rates and loan-to-value ratios of up to 90% of appraised value.

         Consumer Loans. Newberry Federal's consumer loans consist primarily of
second mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit and fully amortized home
equity loans, all of which are secured by owner-occupied one- to four- family
residences, as well as automobile loans.

         The underwriting standards employed by Newberry Federal for second
mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit include a determination of
the applicant's credit history, an assessment of the applicant's ability to meet
existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan and the value of the
collateral securing the loan. Home equity lines of credit have adjustable rates
of interest which are indexed to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street
Journal. Interest rate adjustments on home equity lines of credit are limited to
no more than 5% over the life of the loan. Generally, the maximum loan-to-value
ratio on home equity lines of credit is 80%. A home equity line of credit may be
drawn down by the borrower for a period of 10 years from the date of the loan
agreement. During this period, the borrower has the option of paying, on a
monthly basis, either principal and interest or only the interest. The borrower
is required to pay back the amount of principal outstanding under the line of
credit at the end of the 10 year period.

         Newberry Federal also offers fixed-rate second mortgage loans and home
equity loans with terms up to 10 years. The loan-to-value ratios of fixed-rate
second mortgage loans and home equity loans are generally limited to 80%, taking
into consideration the outstanding balance of the first mortgage loan.

         Newberry Federal originates consumer loans secured by automobiles and,
occasionally, boats and other recreational vehicles. Newberry Federal offers
fixed-rate automobile loans with terms of up to 60 months and loan-to- value
ratios of up to 90% for new cars. For used cars, the maximum loan-to-value ratio
is 80% of the lesser of the retail value shown in the NADA Used Car Guide or the
purchase price, and the maximum terms for used automobile loans range from up to
48 to 54 months depending on the age and condition of the automobile.

         Newberry Federal also offers various other consumer loans, including
loans secured by various personal property and share loans generally secured by
a passbook account, a certificate of deposit or marketable securities. Subject
to market conditions and its underwriting standards, Newberry Federal intends to
increase its consumer loan portfolio in the future, particularly emphasizing
modular home loans given the demand for such housing in its primary market area.

         Consumer loans entail greater risk than do residential mortgage loans,
particularly in the case of loans that are unsecured or secured by rapidly
depreciating assets such as autos. In these cases, any repossessed collateral
for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of
the outstanding loan balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage,
loss or depreciation. The remaining deficiency often does not warrant further
substantial collection efforts against the borrower beyond obtaining a
deficiency judgment. In addition, consumer loan collections depend on the
borrower's continuing financial stability, and are more likely to be adversely
affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy.

         Commercial Business Loans. Newberry Federal makes commercial business
loans primarily in its primary market area to a variety of professionals, sole
proprietorships and small businesses. Newberry Federal offers a variety of
commercial lending products, including term loans for fixed assets and working
capital, revolving lines of credit, and Small Business Administration guaranteed
loans. Commercial business loans are generally offered with fixed interest rates
and with terms of up to five years. Business lines of credit have adjustable
rates of interest and are payable on demand, subject to annual review and
renewal. Business loans with variable rates of interest adjust on a daily basis
and are generally indexed to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street
Journal.

         In making commercial business loans, Newberry Federal considers the
financial statements of the borrower, Newberry Federal's lending history with
the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash
flows of the business and the value of the collateral. Commercial business loans
are generally secured by a variety of collateral, primarily equipment, assets
and accounts receivable, and are generally supported by personal guarantees.
Depending on the collateral used to secure the loans, commercial business loans
are made in amounts of up to 50% of the adjusted value of the collateral
securing the loan although Newberry Federal's policy permits a loan-to-value
ratio of 65%. Newberry Federal generally does not make unsecured commercial
loans.

         Unlike mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the
borrower's ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income,
and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily
ascertainable, commercial loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the
basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the
borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of
commercial loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself.
Further, any collateral securing such loans may depreciate over time, may be
difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.

scheduled amortization, but does not include potential prepayments. Demand
loans, loans having no stated schedule of repayments and no stated maturity, and
overdrafts are reported as becoming due within one year. Loan balances are

         Loans to One Borrower. The maximum amount that Newberry Federal may
lend to one borrower is limited by regulation. At September 30, 2002, Newberry
Federal's regulatory limit on loans to one borrower was $5 million, which
equaled 15% of its Tier 1 capital at that date. At that date, Newberry Federal's
largest credit exposure to one borrower, including the borrower's related
interests, totaled approximately $3.8 million and consisted of mostly commercial
real estate loans. These loans were performing according to their original terms
at September 30, 2002.

         Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Newberry Federal's lending
activities follow written, non- discriminatory, underwriting standards and loan
origination procedures established by Newberry Federal's board of directors and
management.

         Newberry Federal's policies and loan approval limits are established by
the Chief Executive Officer and the chief lending officer and are approved by
the board of directors. For mortgage loans, loan officers, other than the chief
lending officer may approve a loan up to $50,000. The chief lending officer and
any two members of the loan officers' loan committee may approve loans up to
$200,000. In addition, loans exceeding $200,000 require review and approval by
the loan officers' loan committee and at least one member of the executive loan
committee, which currently consists

                                        9

<PAGE>



of J. Thomas Johnson, Steve P. Sligh, Robert W. Owen and James E. Wiseman, Jr.
Loans exceeding $250,000 must be approved by the executive loan committee. All
loans over $500,000 require the prior approval of the board of directors.

         Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales. Newberry Federal's primary loan
origination sources are walk-in customers and referrals. Newberry Federal does
not have any commissioned loan personnel and does not use loan correspondents or
other third-party originators. Newberry Federal is not an active purchaser of
loans.

         All loans originated by Newberry Federal are underwritten by Newberry
Federal according to policies and procedures adopted by its board of directors.
Newberry Federal originates both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate mortgage loans.
Newberry Federal's ability to originate fixed- or adjustable-rate loans depends
upon the relative customer demand for such loans, which is affected by the
current and expected future level of interest rates.

         In an effort to manage its interest rate risk position, Newberry
Federal generally sells the conforming fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms in
excess of 15 years that it originates. The sale of loans in the secondary
mortgage market reduces Newberry Federal's risk that the interest rates paid to
depositors will increase while Newberry Federal holds long-term, fixed-rate
loans in its portfolio. It also allows Newberry Federal to continue to fund
loans when savings flows decline or funds are not otherwise available.

         Prior to 2001, when Newberry Federal sold residential mortgage loans,
it generally retained the servicing rights. Servicing loans for others generally
consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts,
disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure procedures. At September 30,
2002, Newberry Federal was servicing $1.8 million of loans for others. Gains,
net of origination expense, from the sale of such loans are recorded at the time
of sale. Generally a loan is committed to be sold and a price for the loan is
fixed after the loan is approved and the interest rate is accepted by the
customer. This eliminates the risk to Newberry Federal that a rise in market
interest rates will reduce the value of a mortgage before it can be sold. In
2001, Newberry Federal began selling residential mortgage loans with servicing
released.

         Loan Commitments. Newberry Federal issues loan commitments to its
prospective borrowers conditioned on the occurrence of certain events.
Commitments are made in writing on specified terms and conditions and are
honored for up to 30 days from approval. At September 30, 2002, Newberry Federal
had loan commitments and unadvanced loans and lines of credit totaling $11.5
million.

         Loan Fees. In addition to interest earned on loans, Newberry Federal
receives income from fees on loan originations, loan modifications, late
payments and for miscellaneous services related to its loans. Income from these
activities varies from period to period depending upon the volume and type of
loans made and competitive conditions.

         Newberry Federal charges loan origination fees for mortgage loans which
are calculated as a percentage of the amount borrowed. As required by applicable
accounting principles, loan origination fees, discount points and certain loan
origination costs are deferred and recognized over the contractual remaining
lives of the related loans on a level yield basis. At September 30, 2002,
Newberry Federal had $6,000 of net deferred loan costs. Newberry Federal
amortized $13,000 of net deferred loan costs during the year ended September 30,
2002.

         Nonperforming Assets and Delinquencies. All loan payments are due on
the first day of each month. When a borrower fails to make a required loan
payment by the 16th day of the month, Newberry Federal attempts to cure the
deficiency by contacting the borrower and seeking the payment. In most cases,
deficiencies are cured promptly. If a delinquency continues beyond the 30th day
of the month, a late notice is mailed and beyond the 60th day of the month, a
demand letter is sent out. While Newberry Federal generally prefers to work with
borrowers to resolve problems, Newberry Federal will refer the loan to an
attorney and will institute foreclosure or other proceedings after the 90th day
of a delinquency, as necessary, to minimize any potential loss.

         Management informs the board of directors monthly of the amount of
loans delinquent more than 30 days, all loans in foreclosure, and all foreclosed
and repossessed property that Newberry Federal owns.

         Newberry Federal ceases accruing interest on mortgage loans when
principal or interest payments are delinquent 90 days or more. Once the accrual
of interest on a loan is discontinued, all interest previously accrued is
reversed against current period interest income once management determines that
interest is uncollectible. No additional interest is accrued to loan balance
until the collection of both principal and interest becomes reasonably certain.

     Mortgage loans are charged off when it becomes evident that a loss will be
incurred. Generally, commercial and consumer loans that are secured are charged
off when they become 120 days past due and unsecured loans are charged off when
they become 180 days past due.

         The following table presents information with respect to Newberry
Federal's nonperforming assets at the dates indicated.

         Real Estate Owned and Other Repossessed Assets. Real estate that
Newberry Federal acquires through foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure
is classified as real estate owned until sold. When property is acquired it is
recorded at fair market value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new
cost basis. Holding costs and declines in fair value result in changes to
expense after acquisition are expensed. At September 30, 2002, Newberry Federal
had no real estate owned.

         Asset Classification. Regulators have adopted various regulations and
practices regarding problem assets of savings institutions. Under such
regulations, federal and state examiners have authority to identify problem
assets during examinations and, if appropriate, require them to be classified.

         There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard,
doubtful and loss. Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and
are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will
sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have
the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the
weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently
existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high
possibility of loss. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and
of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not
warranted. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the insured
institution establishes specific allowances for loan losses for the full amount
of the portion of the asset classified as loss. All or a portion of general loan
loss allowances established to cover probable losses related to assets
classified substandard or doubtful can be included in determining an
institution's regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan
losses generally do not qualify as regulatory capital. Assets that do not
currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant
classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses
are designated "special mention" and restructured delinquent loans that meet all
qualifications are designated "troubled debt restructurings."

         The following table sets forth classified assets at September 30, 2002.

         Allowance for Loan Losses. In originating loans, Newberry Federal
recognizes that losses will be experienced on loans and that the risk of loss
will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the
creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic
conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the security for
the loan. Newberry Federal maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb
losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses represents
management's estimate of probable losses based on information available as of
the date of the financial statements. The allowance for loan losses is based on
management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including
past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio,

                                       14

adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the
estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions.

         The loan portfolio and other credit exposures are regularly reviewed by
management to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The
methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance includes
comparison to actual losses, peer group comparisons, industry data and economic
conditions. In addition, the regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review Newberry Federal's allowance for loan
losses and may require Newberry Federal to make additional provisions for
estimated losses based upon judgments different from those of management.

         In assessing the allowance for loan losses, Newberry Federal applies
loss factors to various pools of outstanding loans and certain unused
commitments. Newberry Federal segregates the loan portfolio according to risk
characteristics (i.e., mortgage loans, home equity, consumer). Loss factors are
derived using Newberry Federal's historical loss experience and may be adjusted
for significant factors that, in management's judgment, affect the
collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.

     The Bank individually evaluates mortgage loans, consumer and commercial
loans, in excess of $500,000 for impairment. In addition, concentrations of
loans in excess of this amount to any one borrower are individually evaluated.
Also, loans for less than this amount may be individually evaluated if
significant delinquencies on a specific loan have occurred in the past. The
allowance on these loans is determined based on the present value of expected
future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or in some
cases, at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
No such impaired loans were noted during fiscal years 2002 or 2001. Personal
guarantees on commercial real estate loans are given consideration only in
situations where the guarantor is sufficiently liquid and clearly able to honor
the commitments.

     The Bank considers credit risk associated with its commitments to extend
credit, but has not found it necessary to provide any allowance for such
commitments primarily because limited loan demand results in nominal loan
commitments. Additionally, commitments are typically extended for no more than
60 days. The Bank generally does not provide guarantees or letters of credit.

         In addition, management assesses the allowance using factors that
cannot be associated with specific credit or loan categories. These factors
include management's subjective evaluation of local and national economic and
business conditions, portfolio concentration and changes in the character and
size of the loan portfolio. The allowance methodology reflects management's
objective that the overall allowance appropriately reflects a margin for the
imprecision necessarily inherent in estimates of expected credit losses.

         Although management believes that it uses the best information
available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the
allowance for loan losses may be necessary and results of operations could be
adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions
used in making the determinations. Furthermore, while Newberry Federal believes
it has established its existing allowance for loan losses in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that
regulators, in reviewing Newberry Federal's loan portfolio, will not request
Newberry Federal to increase its allowance for loan losses. In addition, because
future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with
certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses
is adequate or that increases will not be necessary should the quality of any
loans deteriorate as a result of the factors discussed above. Any material
increase in the allowance for loan losses may adversely affect Newberry
Federal's financial condition and results of operations.

         The following table presents the approximate allocation of the
allowance for loan losses by loan category at the dates indicated. Management
believes that the allowance can be allocated by category only on an approximate
basis. The allocation of the allowance to each category is not indicative of
future losses and does not restrict the use of any of the allowance to absorb
losses in any category.

various federal agencies and of state and municipal governments, deposits at the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, certificates of deposit of federally insured
institutions, certain bankers' acceptances and federal funds. Within certain
regulatory limits, Newberry Federal may also invest a portion of its assets in
commercial paper and corporate debt securities. Savings institutions like
Newberry Federal are also required to maintain an investment in Federal Home
Loan Bank stock. Newberry Federal is required under federal regulations to
maintain a minimum amount of liquid assets.

         Because of low loan demand in its primary market area, DutchFork
Bancshares has maintained a significant investment in investment securities and
mortgage-backed securities classified as available-for-sale. DutchFork
Bancshares' investment securities consist primarily of U.S. Government and
agency obligations. DutchFork Bancshares' mortgage-backed securities consist of
U.S. Government agency issues as well as investment grade private issues.
DutchFork Bancshares' investment and mortgage-backed securities generally have
average life of less than 15 years.

         DutchFork Bancshares' investment policy permits DutchFork Bancshares to
be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal
course of business in order to manage interest rate risk, including interest
rate cap and floor agreements. See Note 14 of the Financial Statements.

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," requires that investments be
categorized as "held to maturity," "trading securities" or "available for sale,"
based on management's intent as to the ultimate disposition of each security.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 allows debt securities to be
classified as "held to maturity" and reported in financial statements at
amortized cost only if the reporting entity has the positive intent and ability
to hold those securities to maturity. Securities that might be sold in response
to changes in market interest rates, changes in the security's prepayment risk,
increases in loan demand, or other similar factors cannot be classified as "held
to maturity." Debt and equity securities held for current resale are classified
as "trading securities." These securities are reported at fair value, and
unrealized gains and losses on the securities would be included in earnings.
Debt and equity securities not classified as either "held to maturity" or
"trading securities" are classified as "available for sale." These securities
are reported at fair value, and unrealized gains and losses on the securities
are excluded from earnings and reported, net of deferred taxes, as a separate
component of equity.

         DutchFork Bancshares maintains a trading account for certain classes of
collateralized mortgage obligations. At September 30, 2002, DutchFork Bancshares
had no securities classified as "trading securities."

         All of DutchFork Bancshares' investment and mortgage-backed derivative
securities carry market risk insofar as increases in market rates of interest
may cause a decrease in their market value, which would lower DutchFork
Bancshares' capital position. They also carry prepayment risk insofar as they
may be called or repaid before maturity in times of low market interest rates,
so that DutchFork Bancshares may have to invest the funds at a lower interest
rate.

         At September 30, 2002, DutchFork Bancshares' investment in
mortgage-backed securities had an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of
DutchFork Bancshares' retained earnings at that date, with an aggregate book
value of $67 million or in excess of 194% of retained earnings at that date.

Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds

         General. Deposits are the major external source of funds for Newberry
Federal's lending and other investment activities. In addition, Newberry Federal
also generates funds internally from loan principal repayments and prepayments
and maturing investment securities. Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively
stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments
are influenced significantly by general interest rates and money market
conditions. Newberry Federal may use borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Atlanta to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds from other
sources.

         Deposit Accounts. Nearly all of Newberry Federal's depositors reside in
South Carolina. Newberry Federal offers a wide variety of deposit accounts with
a range of interest rates and terms. Newberry Federal's deposit accounts consist
of interest-bearing checking, noninterest-bearing checking, various savings
accounts, money market savings and certificates of deposit. The maturities of
Newberry Federal's certificate of deposit accounts range from three months to
five years. In addition, Newberry Federal offers retirement accounts, including
IRAs, Keogh accounts and simplified employee pension plan accounts. Deposit
account terms vary with the principal differences being the minimum balance
deposit, early withdrawal penalties, limits on the number of transactions and
the interest rate. Newberry Federal reviews its deposit mix and pricing weekly.

         Newberry Federal believes it is competitive in the interest rates it
offers on its deposit products. Newberry Federal determines the rates paid based
on a number of factors, including rates paid by competitors, Newberry Federal's
need for funds and cost of funds, borrowing costs and movements of market
interest rates. Newberry Federal does not use brokers to obtain deposits and at
September 30, 2002 had no brokered deposits.

         In the unlikely event Newberry Federal is liquidated, depositors will
be entitled to full payment of their deposit accounts before any payment is made
to DutchFork Bancshares as the sole stockholder of Newberry Federal.

         The following table presents the deposit activity of Newberry Federal
for the periods indicated.

         Borrowings. Newberry Federal may borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Atlanta to supplement its supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit
withdrawal requirements. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta functions as a
central reserve bank, providing credit for savings banks and certain other
member financial institutions. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta, Newberry Federal is required to own capital stock in the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Atlanta and may borrow on the security of the capital stock and
certain of its mortgage loans and other assets, principally securities that are
obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. Government or its agencies, provided
certain creditworthiness standards have been met. Advances are made under
several different credit programs. Each credit program has its own interest rate
and range of maturities. Depending on the program, limitations on the amount of
advances are based on the financial condition of the member institution and the
adequacy of collateral pledged to secure the credit. At September 30, 2002,
Newberry Federal had the ability to borrow up to approximately $76 million from
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At September 30, 2002, Newberry Federal
had outstanding advances of $35 million.

         At September 30, 2002, Newberry Federal also maintained an $7 million
unsecured credit facility with a third party financial institution. At September
30, 2002, Newberry Federal had no outstanding balance under this credit
facility.

Subsidiary Activities

         DutchFork Bancshares' sole subsidiary is Newberry Federal. Newberry
Federal has one wholly owned subsidiary, Inter-Community Service Corporation,
which operates an insurance agency and also owns approximately 30 acres of
residential land for development. At September 30, 2002, Inter-Community Service
Corporation's assets totaled approximately $439,000.

Personnel

         As of September 30, 2002, DutchFork Bancshares had 40 full-time
employees and 8 part-time employees, none of whom are represented by a
collective bargaining unit. DutchFork Bancshares believes its relationship with
its employees is good.

                           REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

General

         As a savings and loan holding company, DutchFork Bancshares is required
by federal law to file reports with, and otherwise comply with, the rules and
regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision. Newberry Federal is subject to
extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift
Supervision, as its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation, as the deposit insurer. Newberry Federal is a member of the Federal
Home Loan Bank System and, with respect to deposit insurance, of the Savings
Association Insurance Fund managed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Newberry Federal must file reports with the Office of Thrift Supervision and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation concerning its activities and financial
condition in addition to obtaining regulatory approvals prior to entering into
certain transactions such as mergers with, or acquisitions of, other savings
institutions. The Office of Thrift Supervision and/or the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation conduct periodic examinations to test Newberry Federal's
safety and soundness and compliance with various regulatory requirements. This
regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities
in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection
of the insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the
regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory
and enforcement activities and examination policies, including policies with
respect to the classification of assets and the establishment of adequate loan
loss reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in such regulatory
requirements and policies, whether by the Office of Thrift Supervision, the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Congress, could have a material
adverse impact

                                       24

<PAGE>



on DutchFork Bancshares, Newberry Federal and their operations. Certain of the
regulatory requirements applicable to Newberry Federal and to DutchFork
Bancshares are referred to below or elsewhere herein. The description of
statutory provisions and regulations applicable to savings institutions and
their holding companies set forth in this Form 10-KSB does not purport to be a
complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on
Newberry Federal and DutchFork Bancshares.

Holding Company Regulation

         DutchFork Bancshares is a unitary savings and loan holding company
under federal law because Newberry Federal is its only insured subsidiary. Under
prior law, a unitary savings and loan holding company, such as DutchFork
Bancshares was not generally restricted as to the types of business activities
in which it could engage, provided that its subsidiary savings association
continued to be a qualified thrift lender. See "--Federal Savings Institution
Regulation--Qualified Thrift Lender Test." The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999
provides that no company may acquire control of a savings association after May
4, 1999 unless it engages only in the activities permitted for financial holding
companies as described below. Further, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act specifies that
existing savings and loan holding companies may only engage in such activities.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, however, grandfathered the unrestricted authority
for activities with respect to unitary savings and loan holding companies
existing prior to May 4, 1999, so long as the association continues to comply
with the QTL Test. DutchFork Bancshares does not qualify for the grandfather and
is limited in its activities as described above. If DutchFork Bancshares
acquires another savings institution or savings bank that is not a problem
institution, that meets the qualified thrift lender test and that the Office of
Thrift Supervision considers to be a savings institution, DutchFork Bancshares
would become a multiple savings and loan holding company if the acquired
institution is held as a separate subsidiary and not merged into Newberry
Federal. As a multiple savings and loan holding company, DutchFork Bancshares
would generally be limited to activities permissible for bank holding companies
under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act, subject to the prior
approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision, to the activities permitted, a
financial holding company and to certain activities authorized by Office of
Thrift Supervision regulation.

         A savings and loan holding company is prohibited from, directly or
indirectly, acquiring more than 5% of the voting stock of another savings
institution or savings and loan holding company, without prior written approval
of the Office of Thrift Supervision and from acquiring or retaining control of a
depository institution that is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings
institutions, the Office of Thrift Supervision considers the financial and
managerial resources and future prospects of DutchFork Bancshares and
institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the deposit
insurance funds, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive
factors.

         The Office of Thrift Supervision may not approve any acquisition that
would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings
institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions: (i) the approval
of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies and
(ii) the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of
the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such
acquisitions. The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate
savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

         Although savings and loan holding companies are not subject to specific
capital requirements or specific restrictions on the payment of dividends or
other capital distributions, federal regulations do prescribe such restrictions
on subsidiary savings institutions as described below. Newberry Federal must
notify the Office of Thrift Supervision 30 days before declaring any dividend to
DutchFork Bancshares. In addition, the financial impact of a holding company on
its subsidiary institution is a matter that is evaluated by the Office of Thrift
Supervision and the agency has authority to order cessation of activities or
divestiture of subsidiaries deemed to pose a threat to the safety and soundness
of the institution.

         Acquisition of the Holding Company. Under the Federal Change in Bank
Control Act, a notice must be submitted to the Office of Thrift Supervision if
any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire
10% or more of the DutchFork Bancshares' outstanding voting stock, unless the
Office of Thrift Supervision has found that the acquisition will not result in a
change of control of the DutchFork Bancshares. Under the Federal Change in Bank
Control Act, the Office of Thrift Supervision has 60 days from the filing of a
complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the
financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the anti-trust effects of
the acquisition. Any company that so acquires control would then be subject to
regulation as a savings and loan holding company.

Federal Savings Institution Regulation

         Business Activities. The activities of federal savings institutions are
governed by federal law and regulations. These laws and regulations delineate
the nature and extent of the activities in which federal associations may
engage. In particular, many types of lending authority for federal association,
e.g., commercial, non-residential real property loans and consumer loans, are
limited to a specified percentage of the institution's capital or assets.

         Capital Requirements. The Office of Thrift Supervision capital
regulations require savings institutions to meet three minimum capital
standards: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for
institutions receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS rating system) and an 8%
risk-based capital ratio. In addition, the prompt corrective action standards
discussed below also establish, in effect, a minimum 2% tangible capital
standard, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for institutions receiving the highest rating
on the CAMELS financial institution rating system), and, together with the
risk-based capital standard itself, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital standard. The
Office of Thrift Supervision regulations also require that, in meeting the
tangible, leverage and risk-based capital standards, institutions must generally
deduct investments in and loans to subsidiaries engaged in activities as
principal that are not permissible for a national bank.

         The risk-based capital standard for savings institutions requires the
maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital
and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%,
respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets,
including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight
factor of 0% to 100%, assigned by the Office of Thrift Supervision capital
regulation based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core (Tier
1) capital is defined as common stockholders' equity (including retained
earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus,
and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries less
intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card
relationships. The components of supplementary capital currently include
cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory
convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the
allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of
risk-weighted assets and up to 45% of unrealized gains on available-for-sale
equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the
amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed
100% of core capital.

         OTS has authority to establish higher capital requirements where it
determines that the circumstances of a particular association so require.

         The following table presents Newberry Federal's capital position at
September 30, 2002.

</TABLE>


         Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action. The Office of Thrift Supervision
is required to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized
institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institution's degree of
undercapitalization. Generally, a savings institution that has a ratio of total
capital to risk weighted assets of less than 8%, a ratio of Tier 1 (core)
capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4% or a ratio of core capital to
total assets of less than 4% (3% or less for institutions with the highest
examination rating) is considered to be "undercapitalized." A savings
institution that has a total risk-based capital ratio less than 6%, a Tier 1
capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is
considered to be "significantly undercapitalized" and a savings institution that
has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be
"critically undercapitalized." Subject to a narrow


                                       26

<PAGE>



exception, the Office of Thrift Supervision is required to appoint a receiver or
conservator for an institution that is "critically undercapitalized." The
regulation also provides that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the
Office of Thrift Supervision within 45 days of the date a savings institution
receives notice that it is "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized"
or "critically undercapitalized." Compliance with the plan must be guaranteed by
any parent holding company. In addition, numerous mandatory supervisory actions
become immediately applicable to an undercapitalized institution, including, but
not limited to, increased monitoring by regulators and restrictions on growth,
capital distributions and expansion. The Office of Thrift Supervision could also
take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions, including the
issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers
and directors.

         Insurance of Deposit Accounts. Newberry Federal is a member of the
Savings Association Insurance Fund. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
maintains a risk-based assessment system by which institutions are assigned to
one of three categories based on their capitalization and one of three
subcategories based on examination ratings and other supervisory information. An
institution's assessment rate depends upon the categories to which it is
assigned. Assessment rates for SAIF member institutions are determined
semiannually by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and currently range
from zero basis points for the healthiest institutions to 27 basis points for
the riskiest.

         In addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are
required to make payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing
Corporation ("FICO") to recapitalize the predecessor to the Savings Association
Insurance Fund. During the past year, FICO payments for Savings Association
Insurance Fund members approximated 1.8 basis points.

         The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to increase
insurance assessments. A significant increase in Savings Association Insurance
Fund insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect on the operating
expenses and results of operations of Newberry Federal. Management cannot
predict what insurance assessments rates will be in the future.

         Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe
or 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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Office of
Thrift Supervision. The management of Newberry Federal does not know of any
practice, condition or violation that might lead to termination of deposit
insurance.

         Loans to One Borrower. Federal law provides that savings institutions
are generally subject to the limits on loans to one borrower applicable to
national banks. A savings institution may not make a loan or extend credit to a
single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of its unimpaired capital
and surplus. An additional amount may be lent, equal to 10% of unimpaired
capital and surplus, if secured by specified readily-marketable collateral. At
September 30, 2002, Newberry Federal's limit on loans to one borrower was $11.5
million, and Newberry Federal's largest aggregate outstanding balance of loans
to one borrower was $3.8 million.

         QTL Test. The Home Owners' Loan Act requires savings institutions to
meet a qualified thrift lender test. Under the test, a savings association is
required to either qualify as a "domestic building and loan association" under
the Internal Revenue Code or maintain at least 65% of its "portfolio assets"
(total assets less: (i) specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets; (ii)
intangibles, including goodwill; and (iii) the value of property used to conduct
business) in certain "qualified thrift investments" (primarily residential
mortgages and related investments, including certain mortgage-backed securities)
in at least 9 months out of each 12 month period.

         A savings institution that fails the qualified thrift lender test is
subject to certain operating restrictions and may be required to convert to a
bank charter. As of September 30, 2002, Newberry Federal maintained 100% of its
portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, met the
qualified thrift lender test. Recent legislation has expanded the extent to
which education loans, credit card loans and small business loans may be
considered "qualified thrift investments."

         Limitation on Capital Distributions. Office of Thrift Supervision
regulations impose limitations upon all capital distributions by a savings
institution, including cash dividends, payments to repurchase its shares and
payments to stockholders of another institution in a cash-out merger. An
application to and the prior approval of the Office of Thrift Supervision is
required prior to any capital distribution if the institution does not meet the
criteria for "expedited


                                       27

<PAGE>



treatment" of applications under Office of Thrift Supervision regulations (i.e.,
generally, examination ratings in the two top categories), the total capital
distributions for the calendar year exceed net income for that year plus the
amount of retained net income for the preceding two years, the institution would
be undercapitalized following the distribution or the distribution would
otherwise be contrary to a statute, regulation or agreement with Office of
Thrift Supervision. If an application is not required, the institution must
still provide prior notice to Office of Thrift Supervision of the capital
distribution if, like Newberry Federal, it is a subsidiary of a holding company.
In the event Newberry Federal's capital fell below its regulatory requirements
or the Office of Thrift Supervision notified it that it was in need of more than
normal supervision, Newberry Federal's ability to make capital distributions
could be restricted. In addition, the Office of Thrift Supervision could
prohibit a proposed capital distribution by any institution, which would
otherwise be permitted by the regulation, if the Office of Thrift Supervision
determines that such distribution would constitute an unsafe or unsound
practice.

         Liquidity. During 2002, Newberry Federal was required to maintain an
average daily balance of specified liquid assets equal to a monthly average of
not less than a specified percentage of its net withdrawable deposit accounts
plus short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement was 4%. Recent
legislation eliminated the statutory liquidity requirement, but retained a
provision requiring the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to ensure a savings
association's safe and sound operation.

         Assessments. Savings institutions are required to pay assessments to
the Office of Thrift Supervision to fund the agency's operations. The general
assessments, paid on a semi-annual basis, are computed upon the savings
institution's total assets, including consolidated subsidiaries, as reported in
Newberry Federal's latest quarterly thrift financial report. The assessments
paid by Newberry Federal for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 totaled
$62,000.

         Transactions with Related Parties. Newberry Federal's authority to
engage in transactions with "affiliates" (e.g., any company that controls or is
under common control with an institution, including DutchFork Bancshares and its
non-savings institution subsidiaries) is limited by federal law. The aggregate
amount of covered transactions with any individual affiliate is limited to 10%
of the capital and surplus of the savings institution. The aggregate amount of
covered transactions with all affiliates is limited to 20% of the savings
institution's capital and surplus. Certain transactions with affiliates are
required to be secured by collateral in an amount and of a type described in
federal law. The purchase of low quality assets from affiliates is generally
prohibited. The transactions with affiliates must be on terms and under
circumstances, that are at least as favorable to the institution as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated
companies. In addition, savings institutions are prohibited from lending to any
affiliate that is engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank
holding companies and no savings institution may purchase the securities of any
affiliate other than a subsidiary.

         Newberry Federal's authority to extend credit to executive officers,
directors and 10% stockholders ("insiders"), as well as entities such persons
control, is also governed by federal law. Such loans are required to be made on
terms substantially the same as those offered to unaffiliated individuals and
not involve more than the normal risk of repayment. An exception exists for
loans made pursuant to a benefit or compensation program that is widely
available to all employees of the institution and does not give preference to
insiders over other employees. The law limits both the individual and aggregate
amount of loans Newberry Federal may make to insiders based, in part, on
Newberry Federal's capital position and requires certain board approval
procedures to be followed.

         Enforcement. The Office of Thrift Supervision has primary enforcement
responsibility over savings institutions and has the authority to bring actions
against the institution and all institution-affiliated parties, including
stockholders, and any attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or
recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on an
insured institution. Formal enforcement action may range from the issuance of a
capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or
directors to institution of receivership, conservatorship or termination of
deposit insurance. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and can
amount to $25,000 per day, or even $1.0 million per day in especially egregious
cases. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has the authority to recommend
to the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision that enforcement action to
be taken with respect to a particular savings institution. If action is not
taken by the Director, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority
to take such action under certain circumstances. Federal law also establishes
criminal penalties for certain violations.

         Standards for Safety and Soundness. The federal banking agencies have
adopted Interagency Guidelines prescribing Standards for Safety and Soundness.
The guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal
banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository
institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the Office of Thrift
Supervision determines that a savings institution fails to meet any standard
prescribed by the guidelines, the Office of Thrift Supervision may require the
institution to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the
standard.

Federal Home Loan Bank System

         Newberry Federal is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System,
which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan
Bank provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions.
Newberry Federal, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank, is required to
acquire and hold shares of capital stock in that Federal Home Loan Bank in an
amount at least equal to 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount of its unpaid
residential mortgage loans and similar obligations at the beginning of each
year, or 1/20 of its advances (borrowings) from the Federal Home Loan Bank,
whichever is greater. Newberry Federal was in compliance with this requirement
with an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock of $3 million at September
30, 2002.

         The Federal Home Loan Banks are required to provide funds for the
resolution of insolvent thrifts in the late 1980s and to contribute funds for
affordable housing programs. These requirements could reduce the amount of
dividends that the Federal Home Loan Banks pay to their members and could also
result in the Federal Home Loan Banks imposing a higher rate of interest on
advances to their members. If dividends were reduced, or interest on future
Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased, Newberry Federal's net interest
income would likely also be reduced. Recent legislation has changed the
structure of the Federal Home Loan Banks funding obligations for insolvent
thrifts, revised the capital structure of the Federal Home Loan Banks and
implemented entirely voluntary membership for Federal Home Loan Banks.
Management cannot predict the effect that these changes may have with respect to
its Federal Home Loan Bank membership.

Federal Reserve System

         The Federal Reserve Board regulations require savings institutions to
maintain non-interest earning reserves against their transaction accounts
(primarily NOW and regular checking accounts). The regulations generally provide
that reserves be maintained against aggregate transaction accounts as follows: a
3% reserve ratio is assessed on net transaction accounts over $6.0 million to
and including $42.1 million; a 10% reserve ratio is applied above $42.1. The
first $6.0 million of otherwise reservable balances (subject to adjustments by
the Federal Reserve Board) are exempted from the reserve requirements. Newberry
Federal complies with the foregoing requirements.

Community Reinvestment Act

         Under the Community Reinvestment Act, as implemented by Office of
Thrift Supervision regulations, a savings association has a continuing and
affirmative obligation consistent with its safe and sound operation to help meet
the credit needs of its entire community, including low and moderate income
neighborhoods. The Community Reinvestment Act does not establish specific
lending requirements or programs for financial institutions nor does it limit an
institution's discretion to develop the types of products and services that it
believes are best suited to its particular community, consistent with the
Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires the Office
of Thrift Supervision, in connection with its examination of an institution, to
assess the institution's record of meeting the credit needs of its community and
to take such record into account in its evaluation of applications by such
institution. The Community Reinvestment Act requires public disclosure of an
institution's Community Reinvestment Act rating. Newberry Federal's latest
Community Reinvestment Act rating, received from the Office of Thrift
Supervision was "Satisfactory."

                           FEDERAL AND STATE TAXATION

Federal Taxation

         General. DutchFork Bancshares and Newberry Federal report their income
on a fiscal year, consolidated basis under the accrual method of accounting, and
are subject to federal income taxation in the same manner as other corporations
with some exceptions, including particularly Newberry Federal's reserve for bad
debts discussed below. The following discussion of tax matters is intended only
as a summary and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax
rules applicable to DutchFork Bancshares or Newberry Federal. For its 2002
taxable year, DutchFork Bancshares is subject to a maximum federal income tax
rate of 35%.

         Bad Debt Reserves. For fiscal years beginning prior to December 31,
1995, thrift institutions which qualified under certain definitional tests and
other conditions of the Internal Revenue Code were permitted to use certain
favorable provisions to calculate their deductions from taxable income for
annual additions to their bad debt reserve. A reserve could be established for
bad debts on qualifying real property loans (generally secured by interests in
real property improved or to be improved) under (i) the percentage of taxable
income method or (ii) the experience method. The reserve for nonqualifying loans
was computed using the experience method.

         Congress repealed the reserve method of accounting for bad debts for
tax years beginning after 1995 and required savings institutions to recapture
(i.e., take into income) certain portions of their accumulated bad debt
reserves. Thrift institutions eligible to be treated as "small banks" (assets of
$500 million or less) are allowed to use the experience method applicable to
such institutions, while thrift institutions that are treated as large banks
(assets exceeding $500 million) are required to use only the specific charge-off
method. Thus, the percentage of taxable income method of accounting for bad
debts is no longer available for any financial institution.

         A thrift institution required to change its method of computing
reserves for bad debts will treat such change as a change in method of
accounting, initiated by the taxpayer, and having been made with the consent of
the Internal Revenue Service. Any Section 481(a) adjustment required to be taken
into income with respect to such change generally will be taken into income
ratably over a six-taxable year period, beginning with the first taxable year
beginning after 1995, subject to a 2-year suspension if the "residential loan
requirement" is satisfied.

         Under the residential loan requirement provision, the required
recapture will be suspended for each of two successive taxable years, beginning
with Newberry Federal's 1996 taxable year, in which Newberry Federal originates
a minimum of certain residential loans based upon the average of the principal
amounts of such loans made by Newberry Federal during its six taxable years
preceding its current taxable year.

         Distributions. If Newberry Federal makes "non-dividend distributions"
to DutchFork Bancshares, such distributions will be considered to have been made
from Newberry Federal's unrecaptured tax bad debt reserves (including the
balance of its reserves as of December 31, 1987) to the extent thereof, and then
from Newberry Federal's supplemental reserve for losses on loans, to the extent
thereof, and an amount based on the amount distributed (but not in excess of the
amount of such reserves) will be included in Newberry Federal's income.
Non-dividend distributions include distributions in excess of Newberry Federal's
current and accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income
tax purposes, distributions in redemption of stock, and distributions in partial
or complete liquidation. Dividends paid out of Newberry Federal's current or
accumulated earnings and profits will not be so included in its income.

         The amount of additional taxable income triggered by a non-dividend is
an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to
the amount of the distribution. Thus, if Newberry Federal makes a non- dividend
distribution to DutchFork Bancshares, approximately one and one-half times the
amount of such distribution (but not in excess of the amount of such reserves)
would be includable in income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 35%
federal corporate income tax rate. Newberry Federal does not intend to pay
dividends that would result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt
reserves.

                                       30

State Taxation

         South Carolina Taxation. South Carolina has adopted the Internal
Revenue Code, with certain modifications, as it relates to savings and loan
associations, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 1984.
Newberry Federal is subject to South Carolina income tax at the rate of 6%. This
rate of tax is imposed on savings and loan associations and savings banks in
lieu of the general state business corporation income tax. Newberry Federal's
state income tax returns have not been audited within the last five years.

         Delaware Taxation. As a Delaware holding company not earning income in
Delaware, DutchFork Bancshares is exempt from Delaware corporate income tax, but
is required to file an annual report with and pay an annual franchise tax to the
State of Delaware.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Properties

         Newberry Federal currently conducts its business through its main
office located in Newberry, South Carolina, and five other full-service banking
offices. DutchFork Bancshares believes that these facilities are adequate to
meet the present and immediately foreseeable needs of the Newberry Federal and
DutchFork Bancshares.
