PART I

 

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

General

 

Waccamaw Bankshares, Inc. (the Company) was formed during 2001 as a financial holding company chartered in the state of North Carolina. On July 1, 2001, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Waccamaw Bank (the Bank) in a tax-free exchange. To date, the only business activities of the Company consist of the activities of the Bank.

 

Waccamaw Bank was organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on August 28, 1997 and commenced operations on September 2, 1997. The Bank currently serves Columbus County, North Carolina and surrounding areas through three banking offices and Brunswick County through two banking offices. As a state chartered bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve, the Bank is subject to regulation by the State of North Carolina Banking Commission and the Federal Reserve.

 

Location and Service Area

 

The Company’s primary service area is Columbus and Brunswick Counties of North Carolina. The principal business of the Company is to provide comprehensive individual and corporate banking services through its main service area. These services include demand and time deposits as well as commercial, installment, mortgage and other consumer lending services that are traditionally available from community banks.

 

Columbus County is located in the southeastern portion of North Carolina near the South Carolina border. Whiteville, the largest city in the county is approximately 45 miles west of Wilmington, North Carolina, 150 miles southeast of Charlotte, North Carolina, and 45 miles north of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. These cities all have national or regional airports. Columbus County had an estimated population of 55,000 at the end of 2001. Per capita income in the county was $20,046 in 1998.

 

Brunswick County is adjacent to Columbus County to the southeast and also borders South Carolina. Shallotte, the largest city in the county is approximately 35 miles southwest of Wilmington and 35 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach. Brunswick County has a population of 77,000 as of 1999 and has per capita income of $19,229 in 1999.

 

The principle components of the economy are manufacturing, agriculture and tourism. Manufacturing employment is concentrated in the wood products and textile industries. The primary agriculture products are tobacco and hogs.

 

Competition

 

The primary business activity of the Company is commercial banking. This activity is conducted by the Bank which is the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

Banking is a highly competitive industry. The principal areas and methods of competition in the banking industry are the services that are offered, the pricing of those services, the convenience and availability of the services and the degree of expertise and personal manner with which those services are offered. The Bank encounters strong competition from other commercial banks, including the largest North Carolina banks, operating in the Bank’s market area. In the conduct of certain aspects of its business, the Bank also competes with credit unions, money market mutual funds, and other non-bank financial institutions, some of which are not subject to the same degree of regulation as the Bank. Many of these competitors have substantially greater resources and lending abilities than the Company and offer certain services, such as investment banking, trust, interstate and international banking services, that the Company can not or will not provide.


Supervision and Regulation

 

The Company and the Bank are subject to state and federal banking laws and regulations. These impose specific requirements and restrictions and provide for general regulatory oversight with respect to virtually all aspects of operations. These laws and regulations are generally intended to protect depositors, not shareholders. To the extent that the following summary describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on the business and prospects of the Company. Beginning with the enactment of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”) and following with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”), enacted in 1991, numerous additional regulatory requirements have been placed on the banking industry in the past five years, and additional changes have been proposed. The operations of the Company and the Bank may be affected by legislative changes and the policies of various regulatory authorities. The Company is unable to predict the nature or the extent of the effect on its business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, economic control, or new federal or state legislation may have in the future.

 

Federal Bank Holding Company Regulation (Financial Holding Company Regulations)

 

The Company is a financial holding company within the meaning of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”). Under the GLB Act, which became effective on March 11, 2000, the types of activities in which a bank holding company may engage were significantly expanded. Subject to various limitations, the GLB Act generally permits a bank holding company to elect to become a “financial holding company”. A financial holding company may affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are “financial in nature.” Among the activities that are deemed “financial in nature” are, in addition to traditional lending activities, securities underwriting, dealing in or making a market in securities, sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies, insurance underwriting and agency activities, certain merchant banking activities and activities that the Federal Reserve considers to be closely related to banking.

 

A bank holding company may become a financial holding company under the GLB Act if each of its subsidiary banks is “well capitalized” under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act prompt corrective action provisions, is well managed and has at least a satisfactory rating under the Community Reinvestment Act. In addition, the bank holding company must file a declaration with the Federal Reserve. A financial holding company that falls out of compliance with these requirements may be required to cease engaging in some of its activities.

 

Under the GLB Act, the Federal Reserve serves as the primary “umbrella” regulator of financial holding companies, with supervisory authority over each parent company and limited authority over its subsidiaries. Expanded financial activities of financial holding companies generally will be regulated according to the type of such financial activity, banking activities by banking regulators, securities activities by securities regulators and insurance activities by insurance regulators. The GLB Act also imposes additional restrictions and heightened disclosure requirements regarding information collected by financial institutions. We cannot predict the full sweep of the new legislation. However, the Company is still subject to the Bank Holding Company Act (the “BHCA”). Under the BHCA, the Company is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve and is required to file periodic reports of its operations and such information as the Federal Reserve may require.

 

Investments, Control, and Activities. With certain limited exceptions, the BHCA requires every holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before (i) acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank, (ii) acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if after such an acquisition it would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares), or (iii) merging or consolidating with another holding company.

 

In addition, and subject to certain exceptions, the BHCA and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with regulations thereunder, require Federal Reserve approval (or, depending on the circumstances, no notice of disapproval) prior to any person or company acquiring “control” of a holding company, such as the Company. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the holding company. In the case of the Company, under Federal Reserve regulations control will be rebuttably presumed to exist if a person acquires at least 10% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities.


Source of Strength; Cross-Guarantee. In accordance with Federal Reserve policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to the Bank and to commit resources to support the Bank in circumstances in which the Company might not otherwise do so. Under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve may require a holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve’s determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness or stability of any subsidiary depository institution of the bank holding company. Further, federal bank regulatory authorities have additional discretion to require a holding company to divest itself of any bank or nonbank subsidiary if the agency determines that divestiture may aid the depository institution’s financial condition. The Bank may be required to indemnify, or cross-guarantee, the FDIC against losses it incurs with respect to any other bank which the Company controls, which in effect makes the Company’s equity investments in healthy bank subsidiaries available to the FDIC to assist any failing or failed bank subsidiary of the Company.

 

The Bank

 

The Company is the holding company for the Bank, which is a North Carolina banking association. Substantially all Company revenues are earned through the operations of the Bank. The Bank is subject to examination and supervision by the Federal Reserve and the State of North Carolina Banking Commission (Commission). The Federal Reserve monitors the Bank’s compliance with several federal statutes such as the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 and the Interlocks Act. The Federal Reserve has broad enforcement authority to prevent the continuance or development of unsafe and unsound banking practices, including the issuance of cease and desist orders and the removal of officers and directors. The Federal Reserve must approve the establishment of branch offices, conversions, mergers, assumptions of deposit liabilities between insured and uninsured institutions, and the acquisition or establishment of certain subsidiary corporations. The Federal Reserve can prevent capital or surplus diminution in such transactions where the deposit accounts of the resulting, continuing or assuring bank are insured by the Federal Reserve.

 

The Bank is subject to capital requirements and limits on activities established by the Federal Reserve. Under the capital regulations, the Bank generally is required to maintain Tier 1 risk-based capital, in such terms as defined therein, of 4.0% and total risk-based capital of 8.0%. In addition, the Bank is required to provide a minimum leverage ratio Tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets (leverage ratio) equal to 3.0%, plus an additional cushion of one to two percent if the Bank has less than the highest regulatory rating. The Bank is not permitted to engage in any activity not permitted for a national bank unless (i) it is in compliance with its capital requirement and (ii) the FDIC determines that the activity would not pose a risk to the deposit insurance fund. With certain exceptions, the Bank also is not permitted to acquire equity investments of a type, or in a amount, not permitted for a national bank.

 

Federal banking law requires the federal banking agencies to take “prompt corrective action” in respect of insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. There are five tiers: “well capitalized”, “adequately capitalized”, “undercapitalized”, “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized”, as defined by regulations promulgated by the FDIC and the other federal depository institution regulatory agencies. A depository institution is well capitalized if it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by regulation for each relevant capital measure, adequately capitalized if it meets each such measure, undercapitalized if it fails to meet any such measure, significantly undercapitalized if it is below such measures, and critically undercapitalized if it fails to meet any critical capital level set forth in the regulations. The critical capital level must be a level of tangible equity capital equal to not more than 65.0% of the minimum leverage ratio prescribed by regulation. A depository institution may be deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating.

 

The Bank is required to pay deposit insurance assessments set by the FDIC. Under the current assessment rate schedule, the Bank assessment will range from no assessment to .27% of the Bank’s average deposit base, with the exact assessment determined by the Bank’s capital and the FDIC’s supervisory opinion of the Bank’s operations. Only the strongest banks are not required to pay an assessment. The insurance assessments rate may change periodically. Changes in the assessment rate may have a material effect on the Bank’s operating results. The FDIC has the authority to terminate deposit insurance.


The earnings of the Bank are affected significantly by the policies of the Federal Reserve Board, a federal agency which regulates the money supply in order to mitigate recessionary and inflationary pressures. Among the techniques used to implement these objectives are open market transactions in United States government securities, changes in the rate paid by banks on bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirement against bank deposits. These techniques are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments, and deposits, and their use may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits.

 

The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. In view of changing conditions in the national economy and money markets, as well as the effect of actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, no prediction can be made as to possible future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or the business and earnings of the Bank.

 

The Bank is chartered by the State of North Carolina and is subject to extensive supervision and regulation by the Commissioner. The Commissioner enforces state laws that set specific requirements for bank capital, the payment of dividends, loans to officers and directors, record keeping, and types and amounts of loans and investments made by commercial banks. Among other things, the approval of the Commissioner is generally required before a North Carolina chartered commercial bank may establish branch offices. North Carolina banking law requires that any merger, liquidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Bank must be approved by the Commissioner and the holders of two-thirds of the Bank’s outstanding common stock.

 

Pursuant to North Carolina banking laws, no person may directly or indirectly purchase or acquire voting stock of the Bank which would result in the change of control of the Bank unless the Commissioner has approved the acquisition. A person will be deemed to have acquired “control” of the Bank if that person directly or indirectly (i) owns, controls or has power to vote 10% or more of the voting stock of the Bank, or (ii) otherwise possesses the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policy of the Bank.

 

In its lending activities, the Bank is subject to North Carolina usury laws which generally limit or restrict the rates of interest, fees and charges and other terms and conditions in connection with various types of loans.

 

North Carolina banking law requires that bank holding companies register with the Commissioner. The Commissioner must also approve any acquisition of control of a state-chartered bank by a bank holding company.

 

In 1994, Congress adopted new legislation which generally permits an adequately capitalized and managed bank holding company to acquire control of a bank in any state, provided the target bank has been in existence for at least five years. North Carolina banking law has been amended to authorize banking organizations in any state to acquire North Carolina banking institutions on a reciprocal basis. North Carolina banking law authorizes North Carolina banks to establish branches in other states and permits out-of-state banks to establish branches in North Carolina on a reciprocal basis. The effects of interstate acquisitions and branching can not be determined at this time but will likely increase competition in the banking industry in North Carolina.

 

Material Customers

 

Deposits are derived from a broad base of customers in the Company’s trade area. No material portion of deposits have been obtained from a single person or a few persons, with the exception of the Town of Chadbourn, North Carolina, Town of Holden Beach, North Carolina and the Columbus County School Board. Deposits from these three customers account for, on average, 3.9% of the Bank’s total deposits during 2003. In addition, most securities sold under agreements to repurchase ($4.5 million average during 2003) were held by these three customers. Management does not believe the loss of any one customer would have a materially adverse effect on the business of the Company.


The majority of loans and commitments to extend credit have been granted to customers in the Company’s market area. The majority of such customers are depositors. The Bank generally does not extend credit to any single borrower or group of related borrowers in excess of approximately $3.4 million.

 

Rights

 

No patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or concessions held are of material significance to the Company.

 

Environmental Laws

 

Compliance with Federal, State, or Local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment has not had, nor is it expected to have in the future, a material effect upon the Company’s capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

 

Employees

 

The Company had no compensated employees. The Bank presently has 58 full-time equivalent employees consisting of 55 full-time employees and 5 part-time employees.

 

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

 

The Company purchased a 2.44 acre tract of real estate for $233,318 from a Company director to be used as a construction site for a banking facility. Management believes that the purchase price was at or below fair market value. The construction was completed in April of 2001 at a cost of $1.8 million. The two story building has approximately 12,000 finished square feet. In addition to the tellers inside the building, the Bank utilizes 3 drive-up lanes and an ATM to service the need of customers.

 

The Bank has two additional branches in Columbus County located at 105 Hickman Road, Tabor City, North Carolina and 111 Strawberry Boulevard, Chadbourn, North Carolina. The Tabor City Branch is located in a 3,800 square foot building that includes two drive-up lanes and an ATM. The property is leased for $33,474 per year. The lease was assumed from the prior tenant and expires in 2007. The Bank has the option to extend the lease for four additional five year terms.

 

The Chadbourn branch is a one-story brick building with approximately 2,500 square feet of floor space that was leased following a Centura branch acquisition. The Bank has a five year lease with the option to renew for five additional terms, five years each. The branch also has drive-up facilities. In addition, on January 2, 1999 the Bank purchased on a 1.7 acre tract in Chadbourn for $50,000 for future expansion.

 

The Bank has two branches located in Brunswick County, one in Shallotte, North Carolina, the other in Holden Beach, North Carolina. The Shallotte branch is housed in a 2,521 square foot facility that includes two drive-up lanes and an ATM. The building is leased for a term of ten years beginning on February 1, 2000. The Bank has the option to renew the lease for three additional terms of five years.

 

The Holden Beach branch is housed in a 1,200 square foot facility that includes one drive-up lane and an ATM. The building is leased for a term of five years beginning on October 10, 2000. The Bank has the option to renew the lease for five additional terms of five years.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is not party to, nor is any of its property the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings incidental to the business of the Company or the Bank.

 

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTER TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

 

No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.


PART II

 

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The Company’s articles of incorporation authorize it to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, of which 1,867,772 shares were issued and outstanding as of March 18, 2004. The stock is listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market under the symbol “WBNK”.

 

The approximate number of holders of the Company’s shares of common stock as of March 18, 2004 is 1,900. There are no issued or outstanding shares of the Company’s preferred stock as of March 18, 2004.

 

The Board of Directors anticipates that all or substantially all of the Company’s earnings in the foreseeable future will be required for use in the development of the Company’s business. The payment of future cash dividends will be determined by the Board of Directors and is dependent upon the receipt of dividends from the Bank. To date, the Company has not paid any cash dividends.

 

The availability of dividends from the Bank is dependant on the Bank’s earnings, financial condition, business projections, and other pertinent factors. In addition, North Carolina banking law will prohibit the payment of cash dividends if the bank’s surplus is less than 50% of its paid-in capital. Also, under federal banking law, no cash dividend may be paid if the Bank is undercapitalized, or insolvent or if payment of the cash dividend would render the Bank undercapitalized or insolvent, and no cash dividend may be paid by the Bank if it is in default of any deposit insurance assessment due to the FDIC.

 

Set forth below are the approximate high and low (bid quotations/sales price), known to the management of the Bank, for each quarter in the last three fiscal years. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commissions and may not represent actual transactions.
