(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, cash flows and stockholders' equity in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. All adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management are necessary for
fair presentation of the interim financial statements, have been included. The
results of operations for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the
entire fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and
related notes for the year ended September 30, 1996, included in the Company's
1996 Annual Report to Stockholders. The principal business of the Company is
conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coastal Federal Savings Bank ("the

respectively, as collateral for FHLB advances.

(5) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1996 and

retroactively restated for all common stock dividends.

(6) COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS

approximately 542,000 and 687,000 shares respectively. On April 30, 1997, the
Company declared a four for three stock split in the form of a 33% stock
dividend, aggregating approximately 1,160,000 shares. All share and per share

dividends.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION CHANGES
FROM SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 TO MARCH 31, 1997

GENERAL

The Company reported $2.7 million in net earnings for the six months ended March
31, 1997, compared to net earnings of $2.2 million for the six months ended
March 31, 1996. Net interest income increased $1.0 million primarily as a result
of an increase in interest income of $1.2 million which was offset by an
increase in interest expense of $220,000. Provision for loan losses increased
from $340,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996, to $350,000 for the six
months ended March 31, 1997. Other income increased from $2.1 million for the
six months ended March 31, 1996, to $2.3 million for the six months ended March
31, 1997. General and administrative expenses increased from $5.7 million for
the six months ended March 31, 1996, to $6.4 million for the six months ended
March 31, 1997.

Liquid assets, consisting of cash, interest-bearing deposits, and investment
securities available for sale, increased from $38.3 million at September 30,
1996, to $40.2 million at March 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In accordance with Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) regulations, the Company
is required to maintain specific levels of cash and "liquid" investments in
qualifying types of United States Treasury and Federal Agency Securities and
other investments generally having maturities of five years or less. The
required level of such investments is calculated on a "liquidity base"
consisting of net withdrawable accounts and short-term borrowings, and is equal
to 5% of such amount. Short-term liquid assets must be 1.0% of the liquidity
base.

Historically, the Company has maintained its liquidity at levels believed by
management to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations,
potential deposit out-flows and strong loan demand and still allow for optimal
investment of funds and return on assets.

The Company's liquidity was 8.0% and 6.6% at September 30, 1996, and March 31,
1997, respectively as calculated in accordance with OTS regulations.

The principal sources of funds for the Company are cash flows from operations,
consisting mainly of mortgage, consumer and commercial loan payments, retail
customer deposits, advances from the FHLB, and loan sales.

The principal use of cash flows is the origination of loans receivable. The
Company originated loans receivable of $89.8 million for the six months ended
March 31, 1996, compared to $77.9 million for the six months ended March 31,
1997. The majority of these loan originations were financed through loan and
mortgage-backed securities principal repayments which amounted to $57.6 million

and $52.7 million for the six month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1997,
respectively. In addition, the Company sells certain loans in the secondary
market to finance future loan originations. Generally, these loans have
consisted only of mortgage loans which have been originated in the current
period. For the six month period ended March 31, 1996, the Company sold $19.0
million in mortgage loans compared to $19.7 million sold for the six month
period ended March 31, 1997.

The Bank experienced an increase of $18.8 million in deposits for the six month
period ended March 31, 1997, primarily as a result of increased certificate of
deposit growth. During fiscal 1997, the Company funded a portion of its loan
growth and increase in securities available for sale with advances from the FHLB
and reverse repurchase agreements.

At March 31, 1997, the Company had commitments to originate $3.9 million in
mortgage loans, and $29.8 million in undisbursed lines of credit, which the
Company expects to fund from normal operations.

At March 31, 1997, the Company had $117.1 million of certificates of deposits
which were due to mature within one year. Based upon previous experience, the
Company believes that a major portion of these certificates will be renewed.
Additionally, at March 31, 1997, the Company had pledged first mortgage loans in
the amount of $216.7 million to the FHLB which could support approximately $76.6
million in additional advances.

As a condition of deposit insurance, current Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation(FDIC) regulations require that the Bank calculate and maintain a
minimum regulatory capital requirement on a quarterly basis and satisfy such
requirement as of the calculation date and throughout the quarter. The Bank's
capital is approximately $29.3 million at March 31, 1997, exceeding tangible and
core capital requirements by $22.0 million and $14.8 million, respectively. At
March 31, 1997, the Bank's risk-based capital of approximately $32.7 million
exceeded its current risk-based capital requirement by $8.8 million. (For
further information see Regulatory Matters).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATION FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997

GENERAL

Net income increased from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
1996, to $1.4 million for three months ended March 31, 1997, or 17.8%. Net
interest income increased $485,000 primarily as a result of an increase of
$652,000 in interest income offset by a $167,000 increase in interest expense.
Provision for loan losses decreased from $225,000 for three months ended March
31, 1996, to $120,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Other income
decreased $113,000 primarily as a result of decreased income from the subsidiary
companies.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997, increased to $9.2
million as compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The earning asset yield for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was 8.45%
compared to a yield of 8.48% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
average yield on loans receivable for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was
8.66% compared to 8.58% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase
in yield primarily resulted from repricing of adjustable-rate mortgage loans as
a result of higher general market rates during fiscal year 1997. The yield on
investments increased to 6.69% for the three months ended March 31, 1997, from
6.55% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Total average interest-earning
assets were $440.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, as compared to
$409.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities was $4.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to $4.7 million for March 31, 1996. The
average cost of deposits for the three months ended March 31, 1997, was 4.14%
compared to 4.03% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. As a result of a
greater portion of the Bank's balance sheet being funded by lower cost of
deposits, rather than outside borrowings, the cost on interest-bearing
liabilities was 4.51% for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to
4.68% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The cost on FHLB advances and
reverse repurchase agreements was 5.79% and 5.50%, respectively, for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the cost
was 6.27% and 5.45% respectively. Total average interest-bearing liabilities
increased from $398.3 million at March 31, 1996 to $426.1 million at March 31,
1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
as compared to $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The net
interest margin increased to 3.94% for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
from 3.80% for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses decreased from $225,000 for the period ended March
31, 1996, to $120,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. For the three
months ended March 31, 1997, net charge-offs were $45,000 compared to net
charge-offs of $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The allowance
for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.16% at March 31, 1997,
compared to 1.11% at September 30, 1996. Loans delinquent 90 days or more were
.20% of total loans at March 31, 1997, compared to .12% at September 30, 1996.
The allowance for loan losses was 590% of loans delinquent more than 90 days at
March 31, 1997, as compared to 938% at September 30, 1996. Management believes
that the current level of allowances is adequate considering the Company's
current loss experience and delinquency trends, among other criteria.

OTHER INCOME

For the three months ended March 31, 1997, other income decreased 10.0% to $1.0
million compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
Losses from real estate owned were $18,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
compared to income of $55,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Gain on sale
of loans was $175,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to
$318,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This is primarily
attributable to lower volume in the Coastal Federal Mortgage subsidiary. These
were partially offset by increased fees & services charges of $86,000.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses increased from $3.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, to $3.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997. Other expenses were $715,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
compared to $473,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. This is primarily
attributable to increased marketing expenses of $95,000, expenses related to
checking accounts of $29,000 and miscellaneous expenses of $27,000. The increase
in other expenses were partially offset by lower FDIC premiums of $106,000 as a
result of the recapitalization of the SAIF during 1996. As a result of the
recapitalization the Company's deposit insurance premiums decreased from .23% of
insured deposits to .065% of insured deposits.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes increased from $676,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
to $790,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as a result of increased
income before taxes.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH
31, 1996 AND 1997

GENERAL

Net income increased from $2.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 1996,
to $2.7 million for six months ended March 31, 1997, or 19.2%. Net interest
income increased $1.0 million primarily as a result of an increase in interest
income of $1.2 million offset by an increase of $220,000 in interest expense.
Provision for loan losses increased from $340,000 for six months ended March 31,
1996, to $350,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997. Other income
increased $266,000. General and administrative expenses increased $623,000.

COMPARISONS OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income for the six months ended March 31, 1997, increased to $18.2
million as compared to $17.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 1996.
The earning asset yield for the six months ended March 31, 1997, was 8.43%
compared to a yield of 8.52% for the six months ended March 31, 1996. The
average yield on loans receivable for the six months ended March 31, 1997, was
8.63% compared to 8.61% for the six months ended March 31, 1996. The yield on
investments increased to 6.72% for the six months ended March 31, 1997, from
6.41% for the six months ended March 31, 1996. Total average earning assets were
$436.2 million for the six month period ended March 31, 1997, as compared to
$402.5 million for the six month period ended March 31, 1996.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities was $9.7 million for the six
months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to $9.4 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1996. The average cost of deposits for the six months ended
March 31, 1997, was 4.16% compared to 4.18% for the six months ended March 31,
1996. As a result of a greater portion of the balance sheet being funded by
lower cost deposit accounts rather than advances and other borrowings, the cost
of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.48% for the six months ended March 31,
1997, as compared to 4.80% for the six months ended March 31, 1996. Total
average interest-bearing liabilities increased from $392.1 million at March 31,
1996 to $429.1 million at March 31, 1997.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income was $8.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997, as
compared to $7.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 1996. The net
interest margin increased to 3.95% for the six months ended March 31, 1997, from
3.72% for the six months ended March 31, 1996. Since the majority of the
Company's assets are adjustable rate mortgage loans which reprice annually
versus many of the Company's liabilities which reprice more quickly, the Company
may experience a decrease in its interest rate spread should interest rates
increase rapidly.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses increased from $340,000 for the period ended March
31, 1996, to $350,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997. For the six
months ended March 31, 1997, net charge-offs were $70,000 compared to net
charge-offs of $62,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996. The allowance
for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.16% at March 31, 1997,
compared to 1.11% at September 30, 1996. Management believes that the current
level of allowances is adequate considering the Company's current loss
experience and delinquency trends, among other criteria.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF OPERATION- CONTINUED
COMPARISONS OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997

OTHER INCOME

For the six months ended March 31, 1997, other income increased 12.9% to $2.3
million compared to $2.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 1996. Fees &
service charges for the six months ended March 31, 1996 were $645,000 compared
to $843,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997. Income from real estate
held for investment increased by $209,000 when comparing the two periods. This
is the result of a land sale that occurred in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
Other income increased from $750,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996
compared to $853,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997, primarily from an
increase of $96,000 in ATM & debit card fees. These were partially offset by
decreased gain on sale of loans of $194,000 & increased losses from real estate
owned of $92,000.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses increased from $5.7 million for the six
months ended March 31, 1996, to $6.4 million for the six months ended March 31,
1997. Salaries and employee benefits increased $274,000, or 8.9%. Net occupancy,
furniture and fixtures and data processing expense increased $91,000. Other
expense was $1.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 1996, compared to
$1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997. This is primarily due to
increased marketing expense of $79,000, checking related expenses of $102,000,
ATM & debit card expenses of $38,000, legal fees of $18,000 and miscellaneous
expenses of $39,000. These were partially offset by lower FDIC premiums of
$126,000.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes increased from $1.3 million for the six months ended March 31,
1996, to $1.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997, as a result of
increased income before taxes.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights, an amendment of SFAS No. 65" which is effective prospectively for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995. The statement requires the recognition
of an asset for the right to service mortgage loans for others, regardless of
how those rights were acquired (either purchased or originated). Further, it
amends SFAS 65 to require assessment of impairment based on fair value. Based
upon the Company's present mortgage lending operations, this statement did not
have a material effect on the Company.

In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based
Compensation" which is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 123 provides guidance on the
valuation of compensation costs arising from both fixed and performance stock
compensation plans. SFAS No. 123 encourages but does not require entities to
account for stock compensation awards based on their estimated fair value on the
date they are granted. Entities can continue to follow current accounting
requirements, which generally do not result in an expense charge for most
options. However, they must disclose in a footnote to their financial statements
what the effect on net income and earnings per share would have been had they
used the fair value model. The Company expects to continue its current
accounting practice. Therefore, this statement will generally not have a
material effect on future operating results.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

COASTAL FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - CONTINUED

In June, 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities." This statement
will become effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996 and
supersedes SFAS No. 122. The Statement uses a "financial components" approach
that focuses on control to determine the proper accounting for financial asset
transfers. Under that approach, after financial assets are transferred, an
entity would recognize on its balance sheet all assets it controls and
liabilities it has incurred. The entity would remove from the balance sheet
those assets it no longer controls and liabilities it has satisfied. The
adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's
financial statements in fiscal 1997.

EFFECT ON INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require the
measurement of financial position and results of operations in terms of
historical dollars, without consideration of change in the relative purchasing
power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually
all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in
nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a
financial institution's performance than the effects of inflation. Interest
rates do not necessarily change in the same magnitude as the price of goods and
services.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report may contain certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that
represent the Company's expectations or befiefs concerning future events. Such
forward-looking statements are about matters that are inherently subject to
risks and uncertainties. Factors that could influence the matters discussed in
certain forward-looking statements include the timing and amount of revenues
that may be recognized by the Company, continuation of current revenue and
expense trends (including trends affecting charge-offs), absence of unforeseen
changes in the Company's markets and general changes in economy (particularly in
the markets served by the Company).

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Bank was a defendant in two significant lawsuits as summarized below.

The first action commenced on August 9, 1993, and the Plaintiff is seeking
approximately $400,000 in damages. The Plaintiff contended that the Bank
breached its fiduciary duties in handling of their accounts. The Bank defended
this suit and was found without damages on October 28, 1996 by the South
Carolina Circuit Court. The Plaintiff appealed this lawsuit on November 12,
1996. On February 11, 1997 the appeal of this lawsuit was denied.

The second lawsuit involves a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coastal Mortgage
Bankers & Realty Company, Inc. An answer to this suit was filed on October 29,
1993 on behalf of the Joint Venture. The Plaintiff's complaint was amended to
add additional Defendants on June 25, 1994. The Plaintiff alleged construction
deficiencies and was seeking damages in excess of $15.0 million. A subsidiary of
the Bank is a one-third owner in the joint venture company which was being sued.
On April 11, 1997 this lawsuit was settled and did not have a material adverse
effect on the Company.
