Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Condition

(a)  Amount reflects the use of cash to fund the merger consideration of $37.413
     million, payment of transaction costs of $1.374 million, aftertax
     restructuring costs of $898,000, repayment of ESOP loan of $1.588 million,
     and tax benefit of MRPs of $245,000.

(b)  Amounts reflect the allocation of the purchase price based on the fair
     market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  The fair market
     value of investments held was estimated using quoted market values.  The
     fair market values of loans and deposits were estimated using discounted
     expected future cash flows for these items based on their weighted average
     life and weighted average yields.  The fair market value of premises and
     equipment was estimated based on the appraised value of significant assets.
     The core deposit intangible asset of $1.962 million represents the premium
     paid for the deposits assumed in the transaction and was estimated by
     discounting the spread between the Company's weighted average cost of funds
     and the weighted average rate paid on the liabilities of Innes Street
     Financial Corporation. The servicing intangible asset of $367,000
     represents the excess of servicing fees over related costs of servicing the
     assets.  The excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of net
     assets of $8.387 million is reflected as goodwill.

(c)  Amount reflects the accrued liabilities of $1.381 million associated with
     the costs for employee termination benefits and other exit costs and $1.179
     million in deferred tax liability as a result of the fair market value
     adjustments.

(d)  Reflects the elimination of the equity accounts of Innes Street Financial
     Corporation.
