American Federal Bank, FSB and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)  Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were
prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore,
do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation
of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  All
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the
interim consolidated financial statements have been included.  The
results of operations for the period ended March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the
entire fiscal year.

    The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes
thereto, included in the American Federal Bank, FSB (the "Bank" or
"American Federal") 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders.

     Principles of Consolidation
    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
American Service Corporation of S.C. ("ASC") and Finance South, Inc.
The principal business activities of the subsidiaries are real estate
sales, mortgage loan originations and consumer finance.  In
consolidation all significant intercompany items and transactions have
been eliminated.

(2)  Affiliation with CCB Financial Corporation

     On February 18, 1997, the Bank announced that a definitive
agreement had been reached with CCB Financial Corporation (CCB),
headquartered in Durham, North Carolina. The terms of the agreement
provided that CCB will issue .445 shares of common stock for each
share of Bank common stock outstanding at the closing date. This
transaction will be accounted for as a tax-free pooling of interests.

     The merger is subject to regulatory authority and shareholder
approval. It is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 1997.

The proceeds will be directed to support growth of banking operations.




American Federal Bank, FSB and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996

     General.  American Federal earned $4.8 million in the first quarter
of 1997 compared with $4.4 million in the same 1996 quarter.  In 1997
net interest income and noninterest income increased $1.2 million and
$534,000, respectively, while the provision for loan losses and
noninterest expenses were $166,000 and $630,000 higher, respectively.

     Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 was $14.1 million, an increase of $1.2 million or 9.2%
compared to the same period in 1996. Average interest-earning assets
decreased $8.5 million to $1.26 billion while average interest-bearing
liabilities decreased $23.3 million to $1.15 billion. A 42 basis point
improvement in interest rate spread on the Bank's assets and liabilities
contributed to a 45 basis point increase in the net yield on earning
assets to 4.55%. Despite lower interest rates, the yield on average
interest earning assets increased to 8.26%. The cost of interest bearing
liabilities decreased 29 basis points to 4.08% as a result of changes in
mix and lower deposit rates.

     Interest Income.  Total interest income for the first quarter of
1997 was $25.7 million, comparable to the first quarter of 1996, despite
selling the Bank's $33.0 million credit card portfolio during the fourth
quarter of 1996.  Increased levels of consumer and commercial lending,
which are traditionally higher yielding assets, offset the decrease in
overall earning assets.

     Average balances of consumer loans and commercial business loans
increased $22.0 million and $20.1 million, respectively. The growth in
consumer loans resulted from higher customer demand for retail products.
The higher demand also produced a $15.4 million increase in average
balances of consumer checking accounts.

     Average loans were $857.7 million, an increase of $43.7 million and
average Mortgage-backed securities were $310.7 million a decrease of
$125.7, compared with the same 1996 period. The yield on average
interest-earning assets increased 13 basis points compared to the first
quarter of 1996. The yield on loans decreased 5 basis points to 9.16%,
and mortgage-backed securities increased 28 basis points to 6.48%.

     Interest Expense.  For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, interest
expense was $11.6 million, a decrease of $1.2 million or 9.1% compared
with the same period in 1996.  Overall, the average cost of interest-
bearing liabilities decreased 29 basis points to 4.08%.  Average deposit
costs decreased 27 basis points to 3.83% while other borrowing costs
decreased 16 basis points to 5.28%.  The decrease in deposit cost was
the result of lower market rates and a change in the mix of total
deposit balances toward lower-rate account types. Other borrowing costs
decreased due to lower short-term borrowing rates.

     Average interest-bearing liabilities were $1.15 billion, a decrease
of $23.3 million, or 2.0% in the first quarter of 1997. Average interest-
bearing deposits were $945.0 million, an increase of $9.0 million or
1.0%, and average FHLB advances and other borrowings were $203.0
million, a decrease of $32.3 million or 13.7%, compared to the same 1996
period.

     Provision for Loan Losses.  For the first quarter of 1997, the
provision for loan losses was $888,000, a $166,000 increase compared
with the same period in 1996.  Net charge-offs were $370,000.  The
provision exceeded net charge-offs by $518,000, causing the allowance
for loan losses to increase to 1.30% of total loans at March 31, 1997
from 1.26% at December 31, 1996. (For additional discussion see
"Nonperforming Assets.")

     Management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate
based upon its current evaluation and analysis of the loan portfolio.
Adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions
differ significantly from the assumptions used in making the
evaluations.

     Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $534,000 or 15.2%
in the first quarter of 1997 primarily as a result of increases in
service fees on deposits of $481,000, or 20.2%. The increase in service
fees on deposits resulted primarily from a 6% increase in the number of
checking accounts over March 1996 levels and from increased usage of the
Banks debit card services. Increases in noninterest income nearly
matched increases in noninterest expense, improving the Bank's
efficiency ratio to 53.56%.

     Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expense increased $630,000 for
the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.
Compensation and fringe benefits increased $352,000 or 7.1% and net
occupancy costs increased $259,000 primarily a result of higher
maintenance costs. Other noninterest expense increased $498,000 to $2.0
million due in part to costs associated with a successful consumer loan
promotion. Increased expenses for the quarter were partially offset by
lower deposit insurance premiums.

     Income Taxes.  Income taxes for the 1997 period were $2.9 million,
a $518,000 increase compared to the same period in 1996. The increased
tax resulted primarily from higher pre-tax earnings.

American Federal Bank, FSB and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Nonperforming Assets

     All loans are classified as non-accrual for purposes of income
recognition at the time the collection of the principal becomes
uncertain.  In addition, business loans and commercial real estate
loans are placed on non-accrual at the date the loan becomes 60 days
past due; and residential mortgage loans and consumer loans are
generally placed on non-accrual at the date they become 90 days past
due. All loans are placed in non-accrual status when foreclosure
action is commenced.  A loan remains in non-accrual status until the
factors which indicate doubtful collectability no longer exist, or
until the loan is determined to be uncollectable and is charged off
against the allowance for loan losses.

     American Federal's nonperforming assets as of March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996 are shown in the following table.

(2) Consisting primarily of real estate acquired in settlement of
loans of $517,000 and $954,000 at March 31, 1997 and December 31,
1996, respectively.

     Total nonperforming assets decreased $559,000 million or 8.8%
during the first quarter of 1997. There are no loans over $1.0 million
classified as nonperforming.  During the quarter, non-accruing
commercial declined $139,000, while residential mortgage loans
increased $136,000. The Bank has historically experienced little loss
on residential loans.

     Real estate acquired in settlement of loans was $517,000 at March
31, 1997 a decrease of $437,000 from year-end 1996. All real estate
acquired in settlement of loans is carried at the lower of cost or
fair market value less the cost to sell.

     At March 31, 1997, the allowance for loan losses increased to
$11.2 million an increase of $518,000 compared to December 31, 1996.
At March 31, 1997, the allowance amounted to 1.30% of loans
outstanding, compared to 1.26% at December 31, 1996.  Management
considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate based upon its
current judgment, evaluation, and analysis of the loan portfolio.


American Federal Bank, FSB and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis

Changes in Financial Condition from December 31, 1996 to March 31,
1997

     Total assets at March 31, 1997 were $1.31 billion, a decrease of
$11.5 million from December 31, 1996.

     During the first three months of 1997, the Bank increased loans
receivable by $17.0 million, utilizing funds provided from a $26.0
million reduction in short-term interest-bearing deposits.

     Deposits increased $12.7 million to $999.5 million while
borrowings were reduced $28.1 million to $169.1 million.  At March 31,
1997, stockholders' equity was $117.5 million or 8.99% of total
assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Liquid assets were approximately $61.9 million at March 31, 1997.
In addition, the Bank had $27.9 million of investment securities that
qualify as liquidity for regulatory purposes.  The combination
substantially exceeded the OTS liquidity requirement of 5% of net
withdrawable deposits and short-term borrowings. The Bank also had
sufficient collateral to support approximately $141.6 million in
additional FHLB advances and short-term borrowings.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

     The Consolidated Financial Statements, related notes, and other
financial information presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in
terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative
purchasing power over time due to inflation.  Unlike most industrial
companies, substantially all of the assets and liabilities of a
financial institution are monetary in nature.  As a result, interest
rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial
institution's performance than does the effect of inflation.


American Federal Bank, FSB and Subsidiaries
Part II Other Information

Item 1 Legal Proceedings
     The Bank from time to time and currently is involved as plaintiff
or defendant in various legal actions incident to its business.  Any
adverse decision is not believed to be material, either individually
or collectively, to the consolidated financial condition of the Bank.

     In addition to actions in the normal course of business, in 1995
the Bank filed a claim against the United States in the Court of
Federal Claims. The complaint seeks compensation for goodwill taken by
the government as a result of enactment of the Financial Institutions
Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. The goodwill arose from
acquisitions in 1982.  It is difficult to determine what the outcome
of this litigation might be, or when any potential benefit might
occur.

Item 2 Changes in Securities
