Exhibit 99.1

Provident Community Bancshares Reports Second Quarter Results

ROCK HILL, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 16, 2013--Provident Community Bancshares, Inc. (OTCBB: PCBS) (the “Corporation”) reported a net loss to common shareholders of $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to net income to common shareholders of $24,000 for the same period in 2012. The loss in 2013 was primarily due to an increase in OREO expense along with an increase in the provision for loan losses due to an increase in loan write-downs. In addition, the gain on the sale of investments for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was $24,000 compared to $286,000 for the previous year comparable quarter. Net loss per common share was $0.81 (diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 2013, versus net income of $0.01 per common share (diluted) for the same period in 2012. The net loss to common shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1.9 million, or $1.07 net loss per share (diluted), compared to a net loss to common shareholders of $178,000 or $0.10 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2012.

At June 30, 2013, assets totaled $344.0 million, a decrease of $5.9 million, or 1.7%, from $349.9 million at December 31, 2012. Investment securities at June 30, 2013 increased $11.2 million to $180.4 million from $169.2 million at December 31, 2012. Federal funds sold at June 30, 2013 decreased $11.8 million to $8.5 million from $20.3 million at December 31, 2012 as a result of sales and maturities of securities. Net loans receivable decreased 2.7% to $120.1 million at June 30, 2013 as a result of lower demand and more stringent underwriting standards. Deposits increased $132,000 to $277.6 million at June 30, 2013. Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and other borrowings decreased $831,000 to $42.9 million at June 30, 2013 due primarily to the maturation of borrowings. Shareholders’ equity decreased $5.7 million, or 46.6%, to $6.5 million at June 30, 2013 from $12.2 million at December 31, 2012 due primarily to a $4.0 million increase in unrealized losses on securities available for sale along with net loss before accrued preferred stock dividends of $1.7 million.

Nonperforming loans, which are primarily commercial real estate properties, were $12.2 million as of June 30, 2013, or 10.7% of total loans, as compared to $13.2 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $971,000. Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) decreased $4.0 million to $5.2 million at June 30, 2013 from $9.2 million at December 31, 2012, as a result of sales of real estate properties totaling $4.4 million.
