GREENVILLE FIRST BANCSHARES AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation Business activity and organization Greenville First Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is a South Carolina corporation organized for the purpose of owning and controlling all of the capital stock of Greenville First Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank is a national bank organized under the laws of the United States located in Greenville County, South Carolina. The Bank began operations on January 10, 2000. Until January 10, 2000, the Company engaged in organizational and pre-opening activities necessary to obtain regulatory approvals and to prepare its subsidiary, the Bank, to commence business as a financial institution.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. GENERAL The following is a discussion of Greenville First Bancshares, Inc.'s financial condition as of March 31, 2001 and the results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. These comments should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes appearing in this report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements relating to financial results and plans for future business development activities. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places in this report and include all statements that are not statements of historical fact regarding our intent, belief, or expectations. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our brief operating history, our ability to manage rapid growth, general economic conditions, competition, interest rate sensitivity, and exposure to regulatory and legislative changes. Additional risks are discussed in detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the "Risk Factors" section in our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (Registration Number 333-83851) as filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Until January 10, 2000, our principal activities related to its organization, the conducting of its initial public offering, the pursuit of approvals from the OCC for its application to charter the bank, the pursuit of approvals from the FDIC for its application for insurance of the deposits of the bank, hiring the appropriate personnel and implementing operating procedures. We received approval from both the FDIC and the OCC on January 7, 2000. The bank opened for business on January 10, 2000. We completed our stock offering on November 30, 1999, upon the issuance of 1,150,000 shares for a total of $11.5 million. We initially capitalized the Bank with $8.5 million of the proceeds from the stock offering. On April 18, 2000, we increased our investment in the bank by $1.0 million utilizing proceeds from the initial offering. We do not currently anticipate raising additional capital. FINANCIAL CONDITION At March 31, 2001, we had total assets of $77.0 million, consisting principally of $52.7 million in loans, $21.4 million in investments and $1.3 million in cash and due from banks. Liabilities at March 31, 2001 totaled $67.5 million, consisting principally of $66.2 million in deposits. At March 31, 2001, shareholders' equity was $9.5 million. At March 31, 2001, our loan portfolio consisted primarily of $25.0 million of commercial real estate loans, $11.7 million of commercial business loans, and $16.7 million of consumer and home equity loans. At March 31, 2001, there were no non-performing loans. At March 31, 2001, our allowance for loan losses was $722 thousand. Management believes that the reserve for loan losses is adequate to absorb possible loan losses in the portfolio. Management bases its belief on its consideration of a number of factors, including internal credit ratings and assumptions about future events, which assumptions may or may not be accurate. There can be no assurance that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional allocations will not be required. At March 31, 2001, we had $66.2 million in deposits. The $66.2 million in deposits consisted primarily of $5.9 million in personal checking, $5.9 million in business checking, $38.5 million in certificates of deposit and $15.9 million of money market accounts of which 57% are business accounts. LIQUIDITY Our primary sources of liquidity are a stable base of deposits, scheduled repayments on our loans, and interest and maturities investments. All of our securities have been classified as available-for-sale. If necessary, we may choose to sell a portion of the investment securities in connection with the management of interest sensitivity gap or to manage liquidity. Management may also utilize cash and due from banks and federal funds sold to meet liquidity needs. Additionally, we have a federal funds purchased line of credit with a correspondent bank in the amount of $2.8 million, on which no borrowings have been drawn, that can be utilized if needed. We also have collateral that supports in excess of $4.0 million of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Management believes that our liquidity and ability to manage assets will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements over the near future. One measure of liquidity is our loan-to-total borrowed funds ratio, which was at 79.6% at March 31, 2001. We had commitments to fund approximately $18.0 million in loans at March 31, 2001. CAPITAL We currently maintains a level of capitalization substantially in excess of the minimum capital requirements set by the regulatory agencies. Despite anticipated asset growth, management expects its capital ratios to continue to be adequate for the next two to three years. However, no assurances can be given in this regard, as rapid growth, deterioration in loan quality, and continued losses, or a combination of these factors, could change our capital position in a relatively short period of time. As of March 31, 2001, there were no significant firm commitments outstanding for capital expenditures. Beginning in January 2001, we began to lease its main office building. The lease is a twenty-year lease with the monthly rent for the first year of $24 thousand. The lease provides for annual lease rate escalations based on cost of living adjustments. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $78 thousand compared to a net loss of $274 thousand for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000. Included in the net losses are non-cash expenses for provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses for the 2001 period was $122 thousand compared to $100 thousand for the first quarter of 2000. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $612 thousand compared to only $219 thousand for the same period in 2000. Net interest income continues to increase each quarter. This increase resulted primarily from growth in both earning assets and interest bearing deposits. Interest income for the first three months ended March 31, 2001 was $1.4 million compared to $336 thousand for the first quarter of 2000. Interest expense for the first three months ended March 31, 2001 was $800 thousand compared to only $117 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2000. During the first quarter of 2000, much of the loan and investment activity was funded with our capital. Average loans and investments for the first quarter of 2001 were $50.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively. The average loans and investments for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the first quarter of 2000 increased $44.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The average yields on loans and investments for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were 9.01% and 6.59%, respectively. The average yields on loans and investments for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were 9.35% and 5.92%. The average balance of deposits for the first three months ended March 31, 2001 was $59.7 million, while the average balance for the first quarter of 2000 was $9.5 million. This represents a $50.2 million increase compared to the same period in the year 2000. The weighted rate on deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was 5.44% and 4.94% for the first quarter of the year 2000. Our earning assets to deposit spread for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was 3.04% and 2.08% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The lower yield on earning assets to deposits spread in the first quarter of 2000 resulted from 67.7% of the earning assets being in investments, which yield lower rates than loans. Our net yield on earning assets was 3.67% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to 4.59% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The decrease relates primarily to the fact that interest-bearing liabilities were 88.3% of earning assets in the 2001 period compared to only 49.3% in the same period of 2000. The higher percentage in 2001 represents our ability to leverage its capital. As a result of growth in interest earning assets and interest bearing deposits, net interest income in the first quarter of 2001 increased $392 thousand compared to the same period in 2000. During this same period other income increased $43 thousand and general and administrative expenses increased only $217 thousand. The increase in other income relates primarily to higher deposit fees and mortgage loan referral fees as a result of our larger customer base. Our provision for loan loss increased $22 thousand in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. This increase relates primarily to management's decision to increase the allowance for loan loss as a percentage of loans from 1.29% at December 31, 2000 to 1.35% at March 31, 2001. At March 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses was $722 thousand. We have not charged off any loans since commencing operations. There were no non-accrual or non-performing loans at March 31, 2001. The provisions for loan losses were made primarily as a result of management's assessment of general loan loss risk as we recorded loans. We incurred general and administrative expenses of $613 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $396 thousand for the same period in 2000. The $217 thousand additional general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from the move into our new main office building and the additional staff hired to handle the current and future growth in both loans and deposits. Salaries and benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2001 were $327 thousand and represented 53.3% of the total expense. Salaries and benefits were $245 thousand first three months of 2000. The other significant expense in 2001 was $125 thousand for occupancy cost. This expense increased $54 thousand when comparing the two quarters. The increase relates primarily to the additional costs associated with our permanent main office building compared to the lower cost of the temporary modular facility. All other expense increased only $81 thousand dollars. This increase relates primarily to additional marketing expenses and non-capitalizable costs in 2001 associated with the move into the new main office building. No provision or benefit for income taxes was recorded in either the first quarter of 2001 or 2000. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
