Exhibit 99.1

Provident Community Bancshares Reports First Quarter Results

ROCK HILL, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 17, 2013--Provident Community Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB: PCBS) (the “Corporation”) recorded a net loss to common shareholders of $462,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to a net loss of $202,000 for the same period in 2012. The increase in loss in 2013 was primarily due to a reduction in net interest income due primarily to lower loan balances and a decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets due to the lower interest rate environment, offset by the absence of a provision for loan losses for the period ended March 31, 2013, due to a net reduction in loans, nonperforming assets and charge-offs. In addition, the Corporation did not record any gain on the sale of investments for the quarter ending March 31, 2013 compared to $239,000 for the previous year comparable quarter. Net loss per common share was $0.26 (diluted) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, versus a net loss of $0.11 per common share (diluted) for the same period in 2012.

Assets increased $5.2 million, or 1.5%, to $355.1 million at March 31, 2013 from $349.9 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in assets was due primarily to the growth in federal funds sold and securities as a result of deposit growth that was attributed to county tax receipts. It is anticipated that these funds will be drawn down over the course of the year for county needs. Net loans decreased $4.0 million from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013, due primarily to a significant reduction in loan demand as a result of economic conditions in South Carolina and more stringent underwriting standards. Investment securities at March 31, 2013 increased $4.9 million, or 2.9%, to $174.1 million from $169.2 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to an increase in mortgage-backed securities, offset by a decrease in securities of government sponsored enterprises. Federal funds sold at March 31, 2013 increased $8.5 million to $28.8 million from $20.3 million at December 31, 2012 as a result of funds invested with proceeds from maturities of securities and loan payments. Total liabilities increased $5.8 million to $343.6 million at March 31, 2013 from $337.7 million at December 31, 2012. Deposits increased $7.1 million, or 2.6%, to $284.6 million at March 31, 2013 from $277.5 million at December 31, 2012 due to the increased county tax receipts. Security agreements to repurchase decreased $1.2 million to $5.1 million at March 31, 2013 from $6.3 million at December 31, 2012. Shareholders’ equity decreased $616,000, or 5.1%, to $11.6 million at March 31, 2013 from $12.2 million at December 31, 2012 primarily due to a $273,000 increase in unrealized losses on securities available for sale along with a net operating loss of $343,000.

Nonperforming loans, which are primarily commercial real estate properties, were $14.0 million as of March 31, 2013, or 11.7% of total loans, as compared to $13.1 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $829,000. Real estate acquired through foreclosure decreased $1.2 million, to $8.0 million at March 31, 2013 from $9.2 million at December 31, 2012, as a result of property sales. Bad debt charge-offs, net of recoveries were $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $160,000 for the same period in 2012.
