ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability

Business Description

Georgia Carolina Bancshares Inc was incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia in January 1997. The company is a one-bank holding company and owns 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of First Bank of Georgia (the 'Bank'), an independent, locally owned, state-chartered commercial bank which opened for business in 1989. The Bank operates three branch offices in Augusta, Georgia, two branch offices in Martinez, Georgia and one branch office in Thomson, Georgia. The Bank is also the parent company of Willhaven Holdings, LLC, which formerly held certain other real estate of the Bank. The Bank operates as a locally owned bank that targets the banking needs of individuals and small to medium-sized businesses by emphasizing personal service. The Bank offers a full range of deposit and lending services and is a member of an electronic banking network that enables its customers to use the automated teller machines of other financial institutions. In addition, the Bank offers commercial and business credit services, as well as various consumer credit services, including home mortgage loans, automobile loans, lines of credit, home equity loans and home improvement loans. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the 'FDIC'). The primary service area of the Bank includes the counties of Richmond, Columbia and McDuffie, Georgia, the communities of Augusta, Martinez, Evans and Thomson, Georgia, and Aiken County, South Carolina, which are within a 40-mile radius of the Bank's main office. The Bank encounters competition from other commercial banks, which offer a full range of banking services and compete for all types of services, especially deposits. In addition, in certain aspects of its banking business, the Bank also competes with credit unions, savings and loan associations, mortgage banking companies, consumer finance companies, brokerage houses, insurance companies, money market funds and other financial service companies which attract customers that have traditionally been served by banks.
