SCOTLAND BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Scotland Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the
State of North Carolina for the purpose of becoming the bank holding company of
Scotland Savings Bank, Inc., SSB (the "Bank" or "Scotland Savings Bank") in
connection with the Bank's conversion from a state chartered mutual savings bank
to a state chartered stock savings bank, pursuant to its amended and restated
Plan of Conversion. The Company was organized in 1995 to acquire all of the
common stock of Scotland Savings Bank upon its conversion to stock form, which
occurred on March 29, 1996. A subscription offering of the Company's shares
closed on March 29, 1996, at which time the Company acquired all of the shares
of the Bank and commenced operations.
The Company has no operations and conducts no business of its own other than
owning Scotland Savings Bank, investing its portion of the net proceeds received
in the Conversion, and lending funds to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
"ESOP") which was formed in connection with the Conversion. The principal
business of the Bank is accepting deposits from the general public and using
those deposits and other sources of funds to make loans secured by real estate
and other forms of collateral located in the Bank's primary market area of
Scotland and Moore counties in North Carolina.
Scotland Savings Bank's results of operations depend primarily on its net
interest income, which is the difference between interest income from interest-
earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank's
operations are also affected by noninterest income, such as miscellaneous income
from loans, customer deposit account service charges, and other sources of
revenue. The Bank's principal operating expenses, aside from interest expense,
consist of compensation and associated benefits, federal deposit insurance
premiums, occupancy costs, furniture and fixture expense, data processing
charges, and other general and administrative expenses.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (except for the
statement of financial condition at September 30, 1996, which is audited) have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The
financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis with
those of Scotland Savings Bank, although the Company did not own any shares of
the Bank and had no assets, liabilities, equity or operations at any date prior
to March 29, 1996. The Company did not conduct any operations for any period
prior to March 29, 1996. Therefore, the information in financial statements
presented for all periods prior to March 29, 1996 include only the accounts and
operations of Scotland Savings Bank. The results of operations for the three and
nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that may be expected for the year ended September 30,
1997. The accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements in the September 30, 1996 annual report of
the Company.

NOTE 3. DIVIDENDS DECLARED
On June 27, 1997, the Board of Directors of Scotland Bancorp, Inc. declared a
dividend of $ .075 a share for stockholders of record as of July 11, 1997 and
payable on July 25, 1997. The dividends declared were accrued and reported as
other liabilities in the June 30, 1997 consolidated statement of financial
condition.
NOTE 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company's earnings per share is based on 1,699,502 and 1,698,118 shares
assumed to be outstanding for the three and nine month periods ended June 30,
1997, respectively . Earnings per share has been calculated in accordance with
Statement of Position 93-6 "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership
Plans." Earnings per share for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996 is
based on net income earned form the date of Conversion, March 29, 1996, divided
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding from the date of Conversion
to the end of the nine month period ending June 30, 1996. For purposes of this
computation, the number of shares of common stock purchased by the Bank's
employee stock ownership plan which have not been allocated to participant
accounts are not assumed to be outstanding.
NOTE 5. ADOPTION OF STOCK OPTION PLAN AND MANAGEMENT RECOGNITION PLAN
At a special meeting of stockholders held on April 17, 1997, the stockholders
voted to approve the Company's stock option plan and the Bank's Management
Recognition Plan (the "MRP"). The stock option plan reserves for issuance of up
to 184,000 stock options to all officers, directors and employees at the time of
the adoption either in the form of incentive stock options or non-incentive
stock options. The exercise price of the stock options may not be less than the
fair market value of the Company's common stock at date of grant. The options,
which vest at the rate of 25% annually beginning at the date of grant, were all
granted upon the adoption of the plan. The MRP reserved for issuance 73,600
shares of common stock to all officers, directors and employees at the time of
the adoption. The Bank issued shares to fund the MRP in May, 1997. The
restricted common stock under the MRP vests at the rate of 20% annually
beginning at the date of grant.

SCOTLAND BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996:
Total assets increased by $858,000 to $69.5 million at June 30, 1997 from $68.6
million at September 30, 1996. Net loans receivable increased by $2.8 million to
$47.9 million at June 30, 1997 from $45.1 million at September 30, 1996, which
on an annualized basis when compared with the increase in loans for the past two
years, represented a fairly typical pace for loan growth. Cash and cash
equivalents, including federal funds sold, decreased by $2.0 million to $3.1
million at June 30, 1997 from $5.1 million at September 30, 1996. Investment
securities decreased by $1.2 million and were offset by unrealized gains in the
fair value of the available for sale securities portfolio of $188,000, for a net
decrease of $1.0 million, and amounted to $14.9 million at June 30, 1997. Cash
and cash equivalents and investments decreased primarily to fund the increase in
loans, to fund the payment of $321,000 during the nine month period ended June
30, 1997 for the special SAIF assessment to recapitalize the insurance fund, and
to realize a gain in order to offset an increase in compensation as a result of
the first 20% vesting of the recently adopted Management Recognition Plan.
During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company loaned $1.8 million to
the Bank's ESOP plan to purchase shares of the Company's common stock in the
open market. The loan, scheduled to be repaid over a 15 year term, was reduced
by a principal installment of $64,000 during the nine month period. The note to
the ESOP is reported as a reduction in stockholders' equity. The Bank borrowed
and repaid $1,000,000 from the FHLB of Atlanta during the nine month period
ended June 30, 1997. Retained earnings increased by $471,000 during the nine
month period ended June 30, 1997 to $9.2 million at June 30, 1997, which is
attributable to the Company's earnings of $859,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1997 less cash dividends declared or paid of $388,000.
At June 30, 1997, the Company's capital amounted to $25.7 million, which as a
percentage of total consolidated assets, was 37.03%, and was considerably in
excess of the regulatory capital requirements at such date.
The Bank considers all loans past due 90 days or more to be nonperforming, even
though a loan may have sufficient collateral and/or the Bank ultimately expects
to receive all delinquent payments. The Bank's nonperforming loans as a
percentage of total loans outstanding were .06% and .07% at September 30, 1997
and 1996, respectively. During the nine month period ended June 30, 1997, the
Bank's level of nonperforming loans has remained consistently low in relation to
prior periods and total loans outstanding, and the Bank only incurred $492 in
loan charge-offs during the nine month period ended June 30, 1997. As a result,
and based on management's analysis of the adequacy of its allowances, only
$18,000 during the nine month period ended June 30, 1997 was provided to the
loan loss allowance. Such amounts were added as a general valuation allowance
primarily due to the increase in the Bank's loan portfolio during the period.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996:
GENERAL. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $260,000 or
$44,000 less than the $304,000 earned during the same quarter in 1996. Net
income for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 was $859,000 or $217,000 more
than the $642,000 earned during the same period in 1996. The decrease in net
income for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 can be primarily
attributable to an increase in compensation expense during that same period as a
result of the first vesting period of the Management Recognition Plan adopted by
the shareholders during the quarter. The provisions of the plan call for vesting
over a 5 year period with an immediate vesting of the first 20%. This expense,
amounting to approximately $230,000 for the initial vesting and approximately
$38,000 for monthly accruals, was all recognized in the third fiscal quarter and
was partially offset by a gain on the sale of FHLMC securities of $237,000. As
discussed below, the increase in net income for the nine month period ended June
30, 1997 was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income for
the period as compared to the same period in 1996 due to the investment of the
Company's stock proceeds. Due to the added capital, net interest income was also
positively effected during the nine month period ended June 30, 1997 compared to
the same period for 1996 due to a lower level of savings deposits required to
finance the Company's operations. In addition, noninterest income increased as a
result of capital gains on the sale of investment securities as described below.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income was approximately $1.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. Interest income increased by $257,000 from
$3.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 to $3.8 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in interest income for the nine
month period ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the comparable period for the
previous year is attributable to a higher level of interest-earning assets
outstanding during the period. At June 30, 1997, average interest-earning assets
amounted to $67.6 million of which 68.8% were loans receivable. In comparison,
at June 30, 1996, average interest-earning assets amounted to $62.8 million.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased by $3,000 from $498,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 to $501,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997. Interest expense decreased by $232,000 from $1.7 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996 to $1.5 million for the nine months ended June 30,
1997. In total, the average balance of interest bearing liabilities was
approximately $2.5 million lower during the nine months ending June 30, 1997
compared to the same period in 1996. In addition, the Bank's average cost of
funds, which approximated 4.61% for the nine month period ended June 30, 1997,
was approximately 43 basis points lower than the cost of funds for the same
period in 1996.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income decreased by $5,000 from $801,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $796,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1997. Net interest income increased by $489,000 from $1.9 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1996 to $2.4 million for the nine months ended June
30, 1997. These increases resulted from the combination of an increase in the
volume of interest-earning assets as a result of the proceeds received in the
stock offering on March 29, 1996 and a decrease in the volume of interest-
bearing liabilities between the periods and a lower cost of funds in the three
and nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the same periods in
1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Bank provided approximately $6,000 in provisions
for loan losses during each of its first three quarters of fiscal years 1997 and
1996. Provisions, which are charged to operations, and the resulting loan loss
allowances are amounts the Bank's management believes will be adequate to absorb
potential losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Loans are
charged off against the allowance when management believes that collectibility
is unlikely. The evaluation to increase or decrease the provision and resulting
allowances is based both on prior loan loss experience and other factors, such
as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, and current economic conditions. The provisions which were added in the
three and nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were provided
primarily due to the increases in the volume of the Bank's loan portfolio during
these periods.
The Bank's loan loss provisions have been relatively minor during the three and
nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 because the Bank's level of
nonperforming loans has remained consistently low in relation to prior periods
and total loans outstanding. At June 30, 1997, the Bank's level of general
valuation allowances for loan losses amounted to $243,000, which management
believes is adequate to absorb potential losses in its loan portfolio.
NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income increased by $235,000 to $254,000 for the
three month period ended June 30, 1997 from $19,000 for the comparable quarter
in 1996, and by $229,000 to $293,000 for the nine month period ended June 30,
1997 from $64,000 for the comparable period in 1996. This was due almost
entirely to the sale of FHLMC securities in the third quarter which resulted in
a gain of $237,000.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Noninterest expense increased by $296,000 to $625,000 for
the three month period ended June 30, 1997 from $329,000 for the comparable
quarter in 1996, and by $364,000 to $1.3 million for the nine month period ended
June 30, 1997 from $921,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The increases are
principally as a result of an increase in compensation expense resulting from
the adoption by the shareholders of a Management Recognition Plan as discussed
below and the establishment of the Company's ESOP as discussed below. Other
categories of noninterest expense fluctuated by insignificant amounts between
the periods except for insurance expense, which decreased as a result of reduced
premium rates subsequent to the recapitalization of the SAIF, and other
noninterest expense which increased due primarily to certain expenses associated
with operating as a public company.

SCOTLAND BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a part of the Conversion, the Company has established an ESOP that acquired
8% of the shares offered in the Conversion in the after market with funds
provided in the form of a loan from the Company. The loan is expected to be
repaid over a fifteen year period with funds provided by the Bank sufficient to
amortize the debt. The expense associated with the ESOP will be reported in
accordance with SOP 93-6 "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership
Plans" and will increase compensation and related employee benefit expense in
future years. In addition, a management recognition plan was approved by the
Company's stockholders at a special meeting held on April 17, 1997. All
directors are eligible to participate in the plan as well as any officers or
employees designated by the Board. All officers and employees at the time of the
adoption became eligible. The management recognition plan shares will be
expensed over a four year vesting period based upon the fair value of the common
stock at date of grant. The first 20% vesting was immediate upon the adoption of
the plan. This vesting resulted in additional compensation expense of $230,000.
The remaining unvested amounts will amortize evenly over the remaining vesting
period.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY:
The term "liquidity" generally refers to an organization's ability to generate
adequate amounts of funds to meet its needs for cash. More specifically for
financial institutions, liquidity ensures that adequate funds are available to
meet deposit withdrawals, fund loan and capital expenditure commitments,
maintain reserve requirements, pay operating expenses, and provide funds for
debt service, dividends to stockholders, and other institutional commitments.
Funds are primarily provided through financial resources from operating
activities, expansion of the deposit base, borrowings, through the sale or
maturity of investments, the ability to raise equity capital, or maintenance of
shorter term interest-bearing deposits.
One form of liquidity, which is made up of cash and cash equivalents and federal
funds sold, decreased by $1.1 million during the nine month period ended June
30, 1997. As reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows, such decrease
occurred in order to fund the Bank's new loan originations, to fund the payment
of the special SAIF assessment, and to provide funds for dividends to the
Company's stockholders.
As a state chartered stock savings bank, Scotland Savings Bank must maintain
liquidity in the form of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities,
including mortgage-backed securities, equal to at least 10% of total assets. The
Bank's liquidity ratio at June 30, 1997 was considerably in excess of such
requirements. Given its excess liquidity and its ability to borrow from the
Federal Home Loan Bank, the Bank believes that it will have sufficient funds
available to meet anticipated future loan commitments, unexpected deposit
withdrawals, and other cash requirements.
