("Centura") pursuant to the Branch Purchase and Deposit Assumption Agreement dated April 11, 1996. Deposits and related accrued interest assumed by Centura approximated $71.3 million and deposit loans and related accrued interest acquired by Centura approximated $72,000. In connection with the sale of the Branches, the Bank recognized a $700,000 gain on the sale of deposits, net of transaction costs. The sale of the Branches required cash of $70.5 million, which was funded by the sale of fixed-rate and adjustable-rate first mortgage loans and related accrued interest with a carrying value approximating $62.2 million, as well as the utilization of a portion of the Bank's excess liquidity. Prior to the sale, there was no material relationship between the Registrant or the Bank and Centura, nor between Centura and any affiliate, director, or officer of the Registrant or the Bank, or any associate of any such director or officer.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 assume the sale of the Branches occurred on January 1, 1995 and present loss from continuing operations before nonrecurring charges or credits directly attributable to the sale of the Branches. The pro forma adjustments present the elimination of actual interest expense on deposits at the Branches, actual service charges and fees on those deposits and actual operating expenses directly associated with the Branches included in the Registrant's historical consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The pro forma adjustments also present the elimination of interest income on loans sold and cash equivalents liquidated to fund the sale of deposits at their January 1, 1995 levels. The loan portfolios assumed to be sold consist primarily of loans serviced by others. Interest income and accretion of discount on these portfolios are eliminated in their entirety. The elimination of interest income on the remaining loans and cash equivalents is based on the average yields of comparable assets for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1996. (A) Elimination of interest income and accretion of discount on loan portfolios sold to partially fund the sale of the Branches. (B) Elimination of interest income on cash equivalents liquidated to partially fund the sale of the Branches. (C) Elimination of interest expense on deposits assumed by Centura. (D) Elimination of service charges and fees associated with deposit accounts assumed by Centura. (E) Elimination of the nonrecurring impact of the sale of loans to partially fund the sale of the Branches, which was included in the historical statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996. (F) Elimination of operating expenses directly associated with the Branches. (G) Loss per share was determined by dividing loss from continuing operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Because the inclusion of common stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect on the primary loss per share calculation, effectively decreasing the loss per share, they are not considered in the computation. 7 SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
