                                  INTRODUCTION


Set forth herein is the independent appraisal, prepared by Baxter Fentriss and
Company ("Baxter Fentriss"), of the estimated pro forma fair market value of
common stock (the "Common Stock") to be issued by Carolina Fincorp, Inc.
("Carolina Fincorp" or the "Holding Company") in connection with the Plan of
Conversion ("Conversion") of Richmond Savings Bank, S.S.B. ("Richmond Savings"
or the "Savings Bank") from a state chartered mutual savings bank to a state
chartered stock savings bank, and the offer and sale of shares of common stock
by the Savings Bank (transactions collectively referred to as the "Conversion"
and the sale of common stock as the "Offering").

Pursuant to the Plan of Conversion, (I) Richmond Savings will convert from a
North Carolina-chartered savings bank organized in mutual form to a North
Carolina savings bank organized in stock form, (II) Richmond Savings will sell
its capital stock to Carolina Fincorp, Inc., a North Carolina corporation and
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company, and (III) the Holding
Company will offer and sell shares of its common stock in a subscription
offering and, if necessary, in a community offering.

In the course of preparing this report, we reviewed and discussed with Richmond
Savings' management and independent accountants the audited financial statements
of the Savings Bank's operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1993, 1994,
1995, and 1996.  We also reviewed and discussed with management other financial
matters of the Savings Bank.

Where appropriate, we considered information based upon other available public
sources, which we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee the
accuracy or completeness of such information.  We visited the Savings Bank's
primary market area and examined the prevailing economic conditions.  We also
examined the competitive environment within which the Savings Bank operates and
assessed the Savings Bank's relative strengths and weaknesses.

We examined and compared Richmond Savings' performance with selected segments of
the thrift industry and selected publicly traded savings institutions.  We
reviewed conditions in the securities markets in general and the market for
savings institution common stock in particular.  We included in our analysis an
examination of the potential effects of the Conversion on the Savings Bank's
operating characteristics and financial performance as they relate to the
estimated pro forma market value of the Savings Bank.

In preparing our valuation, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and
completeness of financial and statistical information provided by Richmond
Savings and its independent accountants.  We did not independently verify the
financial statements and other information provided by the Savings Bank and its
independent accountants, nor did we independently value the assets or
liabilities of the Savings Bank.  The valuation considers the Savings Bank only
as a going concern and should not be considered as an indication of the
liquidation value of the Savings Bank.

                                       1

 
Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, to be a recommendation
of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of Common Stock in the
Offering.   Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based on estimates
and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from
time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares of
Common Stock in the Offering will thereafter be able to sell such shares at
prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market value thereof.
Baxter Fentriss is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any federal
and state securities laws and any report prepared by Baxter Fentriss shall not
be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any
securities.

The accompanying report is an integral part of our valuation and must be read in
its entirety to fully understand the basis for our opinion.  The valuation
reported will be updated as appropriate.  These updates will consider, among
other factors, any developments or changes in the Savings Bank's financial
condition and operating performance, management policies, and current conditions
in the securities markets for thrift institution common stock.  Should any such
developments or changes be material, in our opinion, to the valuation of shares
offered in the conversion, appropriate adjustments to the estimated pro forma
market value will be made.  The reasons for any such adjustments will be
explained in detail at that time.

                        I. Richmond Savings Bank, S.S.B.


                                General Overview
                                ----------------
                                        
                                                                                
Richmond Savings Bank, S.S.B. ("Richmond Savings"), was organized in 1906 and is
headquartered in Rockingham, North Carolina.  The Savings Bank operates from its
office located at 115 S. Lawrence Street in Rockingham.  Richmond Savings'
deposits are insured by the SAIF of the FDIC and it is a member of the Federal
Home Loan Bank System.  At June 30, 1996, Richmond Savings had total assets of
$94.1 million, total deposits of $83.7 million and total equity of $8.6 million
or 9.2% of period end assets.

Richmond Savings' business is attracting deposits from the general public and
investing those deposits primarily in first mortgages secured by one-to-four
family residences.  Richmond Savings also makes a limited number of commercial
real estate loans and consumer loans in its market area.  Richmond Savings is a
community-oriented savings institution offering a diverse selection of deposit
and loan products with a strong orientation toward customer service.
Substantially all of Richmond Savings' loan and deposit business is located in
Richmond, Moore, and Scotland Counties.  Management does not anticipate any
dramatic change in the Savings Bank's operations after the Conversion.

Management of Richmond Savings implemented various strategies designed to
continue the Bank's profitability while maintaining the safety and soundness of
the institution.   These strategies include:  (1) emphasizing residential and
consumer lending; (2) maintaining asset quality; (3) controlling operating
expenses; and (4) monitoring interest rate risk.

Richmond Savings' capital increased from $4.8 million with an equity to assets
ratio of 5.8% at June 30, 1991 to $8.6 million and 9.2% at June 30, 1996 and was
in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements.  Richmond
Savings remained profitable in each of the last six fiscal years ended June 30,
1996.  The return on average assets has ranged from a low of 0.78% in fiscal
1991, in which the provision for loan losses was expensed, to a high of 1.11% in
fiscal 1993.  The return on average assets for the year ended June 30, 1996 was
 .64% down from .81% at June 30, 1995, partially due to a decrease in net
interest income.

Management has sought to increase the asset size of the Savings Bank.  Total
assets increased from $81.3 million at June 30, 1991 to $94.1 million at June
30, 1996, or 15.8%. The Savings Bank's growth in loans has not kept pace with
deposit expansion.  Total deposits increased by 12.1% and net loans outstanding
grew by 12.0% between June 30, 1991 and June 30, 1996, respectively.  In
contrast, investments including interest earning deposits, fed funds sold, FHLB
stock, and investment securities increased from $14.1 million to $21.8 million,
between June 30, 1991 and June 30, 1996.

                                       3

 
Richmond Savings' diversified orientation is evidenced by the composition of its
loan portfolio.  At June 30, 1996, 81.0% of the Bank's loan portfolio before net
items consisted of residential one-to-four family mortgages, 69.4% of the Bank's
net loan portfolio was composed of adjustable rate loans, and non-performing
assets were 0.06% of total assets.

The remainder of Chapter I discusses, in more detail, the overall trends
identified in this section.  The discussion is supplemented by the tables and
exhibits throughout the chapters and at the back of the book.  Exhibit II-1
summarizes Richmond Savings' statements of financial condition at June 30, 1993,
1994, 1995, and 1996.  Exhibit II-2 summarizes the statements of income for the
fiscal years ended June 30, 1993, 1994, 1995, and 1996.

                          Financial Condition Overview
                          ----------------------------
                                        
                                                                                
The following discusses asset and liability composition, loans, securities
investments, market area, and Richmond Savings' earnings outlook following the
Conversion.

Assets
- ------

Richmond Savings' asset base increased by 15.8% between June 30, 1991 and June
30, 1996.  Table 1 shows selected consolidated balance sheet data and Table 2
shows selected balance sheet data as a percentage of period-end assets.  The
Savings Bank's loan growth did not keep pace with its deposit growth.  The
Savings Bank portfolios adjustable rate mortgages and sells fixed rate mortgage
loans in the secondary market as part of its lending strategy.  In addition to
1-4 family permanent mortgage loans, the Bank has diversified its loan portfolio
by increasing its offering of consumer loan products.  In the low interest rate
environment that existed during 1992 through early 1994, consumers generally
preferred fixed-rate mortgages, which worked to the bank's favor since it
offered both fixed and adjustable rate loans. The bank will emphasize the
origination and purchase of adjustable rate loans when market conditions permit
due to the fact that these are favorable to have in a rising interest rate
environment.

Loans
- -----

Richmond Savings' ratio of net loans to total assets was 75.1% at June 30, 1991
and increased slightly to 75.2% at June 30, 1996.  Net loans outstanding
increased from $61.0 million at June 30, 1991 to $68.4 million at June 30, 1996
(or 12.1%). Table 3 shows the composition of the loan portfolio from June 30,
1994 to June 30, 1996.  Table 4 shows Richmond Savings' loan origination
activity for the last three fiscal years.  Richmond Savings is primarily a one-
to-four family residential lender with most all of its loans directly originated
in its market area.

The Savings Bank's permanent 1-4 family mortgage loans comprised 81.0% of net
loans receivable as of June 30, 1996, approximating levels in recent years.
Consumer lending has been the Bank's primary area of diversification, and
totaled 4.2% of net loans receivable at June 30, 1996, while construction and
home equity loans totaled 11.4% of net loans receivable.  The Savings Bank has
minimized the risk associated with long term assets by focusing on assets with
shorter maturities and better interest rate spreads.

The loan programs and terms currently offered by the Savings Bank include
permanent fixed rate and adjustable rate 1-4 family loans have varying terms up
to 30 years and commercial real estate and multi-family loans offered by the
Savings Bank have terms up to 15 years.  Loan to value ratios range from 65 to

Liability Composition
- ---------------------

As of June 30, 1996, Richmond Savings' assets were funded primarily with
deposits, loan repayments, available funds from repayments from mortgage-backed
securities and retained earnings.  In recent years, local retail deposits have
generally been sufficient to meet Richmond Savings' funding needs.  Richmond
Savings attracts deposits from within its market area by offering a variety of
deposit products, including NOW, money market, regular savings and term
certificate accounts.  The Savings Bank offers competitive rates and relies
substantially on customer service, convenience, advertising and long-standing
relationships with customers to attract and retain deposits.  Management
periodically sets deposit rates and terms and service charges based on Richmond
Savings' funding needs, competitor offerings, and anticipated future economic
conditions and related interest rates. Deposits rose from $74.7 million at June
30, 1991 to $83.7 million at June 30, 1996.

The Savings Bank has sought to reduce its interest rate risk by encouraging
depositors to invest in longer term certificates of deposits and encouraging
long-term depositors to maintain their accounts with the Savings Bank.  Total
demand deposits were $22.1 million or 26.4% of total deposits at June 30, 1996
and 73.6% of total deposits were certificate of deposit accounts.  Table 6 shows
the distribution and the weighted average rate of Richmond Savings' deposits for
the years ended at June 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996.  The majority of the Bank's
local customers have deposit balances of less than $100,000 and the Savings Bank
does not accept brokered CDs, so the Bank's local retail deposit base is
believed to be relatively stable.

Net Worth
- ---------

At June 30, 1996, Richmond Savings net worth of $8.6 million or 9.2% of total
assets substantially exceeded all applicable regulatory capital requirements.
Table 7 presents Richmond Savings' regulatory capital position and the pro forma
estimated capital compliance ratios at June 30, 1996.

Assuming that 50% of the net proceeds are invested in the Savings Bank and
reducing the capital by the amount of the ESOP and the MRPs results in an
increase of Tier I leverage capital of $5.6 million at the pro forma midpoint.
The total Tier I leverage capital will equal $14.2 million, or 15.1% of assets,
which is $10.3 million in excess of the 4% requirement.  In addition, the pro
forma capital substantially exceeds the total risk-based capital requirement by
$10.6 million and the North Carolina requirement by $9.6 million.

Richmond Savings regularly reviews its assets to determine if any assets require
classification or changes in a previous classification.  At June 30, 1996,
Richmond Savings had total non-performing loans of $30,000 and real estate owned
of $29,000.  Non-performing loans represented 0.03% of total assets and 0.35% of
equity.  Table 8 shows Richmond Savings' non-performing assets for each of the
last three fiscal years ended June 30, 1996.

Richmond Savings considers both identified probable losses and losses that have
not been specifically identified but can be expected to occur in establishing
its reserve for loan losses.  General and specific reserves are established by
the Board of Directors as necessary based on an assessment of risk in the
portfolio.  Specific reserves are provided for individual assets, or portions of
assets, when ultimate collection is considered improbable by management based on
the current payment status and the fair or net realizable value of the security.
At June 30, 1996, loan loss allowance totaled $389,000.

              ---------------------------------------------------
                                        
                                                                                
The Savings Bank has an acceptable level of interest rate risk, compared to many
similar sized thrift institutions.  The Savings Bank's strategies include:  (1)
emphasizing the origination of adjustable rate, residential one-to-four family
real estate loans when market conditions permit; (2) emphasizing the origination
of adjustable rate home equity lines of credit; (3) emphasizing the solicitation
of  checking and transaction accounts which are considered to be less interest-
rate sensitive deposits; and (4) attempting to lengthen deposit maturities.
Richmond Savings has maintained adequate levels of capital to minimize interest
rate risk.  The extent of interest rate risk to which the Savings Bank is
subject is monitored by management through an analysis of the institution's
interest sensitivity gap (the difference between the amounts of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities repricing during a given time), as well
as by other means.

Table 10 displays the Savings Bank's interest rate shock analysis as measured by
the sensitivity of the Savings Bank's net portfolio value to instantaneous
changes in interest rates.  The analysis was calculated by the FHLB of Atlanta.
The analysis shows that a 200 basis point rate shock would result in a 21.8%
reduction in the net equity value of the Savings Bank's portfolio as of June 30,
1996.  The pattern displayed shows the Savings Bank's balance sheet contains a
moderate level of interest rate risk with declining net interest income expected
in increasing interest-rate environments.

Richmond Savings' earnings are primarily the result of the positive spread
between the yield on its earning assets and the cost of its interest bearing
liabilities.  This spread is subject to fluctuation, caused by changes in the
general level of interest rates in the economy as whole and in Richmond Savings'
market area.  Table 11 shows Richmond Savings' average earning assets yields,
average interest-bearing liabilities costs, interest rate spreads and net
interest margin for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996.

Richmond Savings' interest rate spread fell from 3.48% during the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1994 to 3.24% in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1995, and then
dropped to 2.77% during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1996.  Like many
financial institutions, the Savings Bank's interest rate spread probably peaked
early in 1994 as interest rates began an upward trend during the Spring of 1994.
At June 30, 1996, the Savings Bank's yield on interest bearing assets was 7.72%
and cost of funds was 4.94%, for a spread of 2.77%.

 Comparison of Operating Results for  the  Fiscal  Years  Ended  June 30, 1994,
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                 1995, and 1996
                                 --------------
                                        
General.  The Savings Bank experienced moderate asset growth from June 30, 1994
of $87.5 million to $91.4 million at June 30, 1995, to $94.1 million at June 30,
1996.  Net loans receivable remained stable increasing from $67.7 at June 30,
1994 to $68.7 million at June 30, 1995, and then decreased to $68.4 million at
June 30, 1996.  The demand for the Bank's adjustable rate loans has not kept
pace with the Bank's deposit growth.  During the same period, investments
increased from $16.0 million at June 30, 1994 to $18.5 million at June 30, 1995,
to $21.8 million at June 30, 1996.  This investment growth was funded by the
growth in deposits from $78.3 million at June 30, 1994 to $81.4 million at June
30, 1995, to $83.7 million at June 30, 1996.

Net Income.  Richmond Savings Bank's net income for the fiscal years ended June
30, 1994, 1995, and 1996 was $860,000, $720,000, and $591,000, respectively.
Net income was positively affected in 1994 by gains associated with the sale of
loans as management sold certain fixed rate loans in an effort to maintain and
improve the Bank's interest rate risk and liquidity positions while satisfying
demand in the Bank's market area for long-term fixed rate mortgage loans.
Declines in the Bank's net interest income, combined with increases in other
expenses and significant reduction in loan sales and resulting gains after
fiscal 1994, are primarily responsible for the respective decreases in net
income for 1995 and 1996.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses
decreased from $3.4 million in 1994 to $3.1 million in 1995, and then to $2.9
million in 1996.  The decrease in net income is attributable to a decrease in
the interest rate spread from 3.48% in 1994 to 3.24% in 1995 to 2.77% in 1996.
The Bank's deposits are more rate sensitive than its interest-earning assets,
interest margins usually increase during periods of declining rates and decrease
during periods of increasing rates.  In the middle of 1994, interest rates began
to increase and continued to increase through the end of 1995.  The impact of
the increasing rates in 1995 resulted in an increase in interest costs $338,000
while interest income increased by only $250,000.  The impact of increasing
rates during 1996 was an increase in interest costs of $678,000 while interest
income increased by only $459,000.

Provision for Loan Losses.  Richmond Savings' provision for loan losses was
$36,000 during the years ended June 30, 1994, 1995, and 1996.  At June 30, 1996,
the Savings Bank's allowance for loan losses was equal to 1,296% of non-
performing loans compared to 282% at June 30, 1994 and 484% at June 30, 1995.
The Bank experienced net loan charge-offs of $27,000 and $10,000 during the
years ended June 30, 1994 and June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared with a
net recovery of loans previously charged off of $11,000 during the year ended
June 30, 1995.

Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income decreased from $586,000 for the year
ended June 30, 1994 to $430,000 for the year ended June 30, 1995, and then
increased to $532,000 for the year ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease in 1995
was mainly attributable to fluctuations on gains on loan sales which were
$151,000, $7,000, and $8,000 for 1994, 1995, and 1996, respectively.

                                      21

 
Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense increased from $2.39 million in 1994
to $2.45 million in 1995, to $2.49 million in 1996, representing increases of
$60,000 and $41,000, respectively.  The other expense increases were consistent
with the overall trend in inflation.

Income Taxes.  Income tax expense decreased from $492,000 in 1994, to $329,000
in 1995, to $299,000 in 1996, with the decreases being primarily attributable to
corresponding decreases in income before taxes.

                              Primary Market Area
                              -------------------
                                        
The Savings Bank's primary market area is Richmond, Moore, and Scotland
Counties, in North Carolina.  The Savings Bank operates from its office in
Rockingham located in Richmond County.  Demographic growth trends in Richmond,
Moore, and Scotland Counties have been measured by changes in population, number
of households, mean household income, and per capita income with trends in those
areas summarized by the data represented in Table 15.

Population growth in Richmond County of 0.4% was less than the national and
North Carolina rates of 1.1% and 1.5%, respectively, from 1990 to 1995.  Moore
County and Scotland County grew at 2.4% and 0.6%, respectively, during the same
period.  Projected annual growth of the population through the year 2000 is
expected to be only 0.4% for Richmond County, 0.6% for Moore County, and 0.0%
for Scotland County over the next five years.

Median household income, as well as per capita income, in the Bank's market
area, with the exception of Moore County, is significantly below state and
national averages.  The projected growth in the number of households in the
Savings Bank's market area is also significantly below state and national
averages.  Mean income levels project household growth in Richmond, Moore, and
Scotland Counties to fall short of state averages, a typical trend among less
urban communities due to generally lower costs of living and less demand for
homes.  In general, the demographic trends displayed in Table 15 are typical of
smaller, less urban market areas.

Tables 16-A through 16-C display selected deposit market data for the Richmond,
Moore, and Scotland Counties as of June 30, 1995.  Richmond Savings, a mutually
chartered state savings bank, is the only home based financial institution in
Richmond County.  In June 1995, Richmond Savings' market share of total deposits
in Richmond County was 21.0%, Moore County was 1.4%, and Scotland County was
0.0%.  Richmond Savings was second only to United Carolina Bank (UCB) in
Richmond County.  UCB held the largest deposit market share of 27.5%.  In
Scotland County, Richmond Savings operates a loan production office.  Since a
loan production office is not considered a full-service banking office, the
Savings Bank's market share of total deposits in Scotland County as listed in
Table 16-C was 0.0% as of June 30, 1995.  However, the Savings Bank does collect
deposits from Scotland County through banking offices in Richmond County.

Summary
- -------
Richmond Savings operates in an economically diverse market area.  The Bank's
customer base consists of residents from Richmond, Moore, and Scotland Counties
which have been experiencing moderate population and economic growth.  The
economic stability of the market area is favorable as evidenced by the variety
of industries located nearby, based primarily on manufacturing and agriculture.
Competition in the Savings Bank's market area is strong, however, Richmond
Savings maintains a favorable image as the only locally-owned and community-
oriented financial institution, and thus has been able to maintain its
deposit market share.

                 II.  COMPARISONS WITH PUBLICLY TRADED THRIFTS


General
- -------

The comparative market approach provides a sound basis for making valuation
estimates for going-concerns where a large and liquid market exists for peer
institutions.  The comparative market approach was utilized in deriving a value
for Richmond Savings since reliable data is readily available for comparable
institutions, this methodology is favored under the conversion guidelines, and
other alternative valuation methods (such as a liquidation valuation, discounted
cash flow, capitalization of gross revenues, and others) are unlikely to produce
a value relevant to the conversion transaction.  The generally employed
valuation methodology in initial public offerings, where possible, is the
comparative market approach.  The comparative market approach derives a value
from the trading pattern of comparable institutions.  The pricing and trading
history of recent conversion offerings provide evidence of the "new issue
discount" which must be considered in all initial public offerings.  Chapter III
will detail the new issue discount which we believe is appropriate to Richmond
Savings' offering.

This chapter selects and compares Richmond Savings with a group of publicly
traded thrift institutions (the "comparative group") in order to determine the
appropriate adjustments to the Savings Bank's pro forma market value relative to
publicly traded companies.  Exhibits III-1 through III-8 contain financial
comparisons of the Savings Bank with the selected comparative group based on
measures of profitability, income and expense trends, yield-cost structure,
capital levels, balance sheet composition, and risk measures.  The selection
criteria employed for the comparative group, and a comparison of the Savings
Bank's financial performance with the comparative group are highlighted below.
Exhibit III-9 contains public companies considered for the comparative group
that were excluded because of their dissimilar financial characteristics or
unreasonable geographic location when compared to the Savings Bank.

Selection Criteria
- ------------------

Selected market price and financial data for thrifts listed on the New York and
American Stock Exchanges and those thrifts traded on the national over-the-
counter ("OTC") markets listed on the National Savings Bank of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") are shown in Exhibit IV-1.
Several criteria, discussed below, were used to select the comparative group
from among this larger publicly traded group.

Trading volume and degree of liquidity.  The existence of an active and regular
- ---------------------------------------
trading market for the stock is imperative because the reliability of share
price data on thinly traded stocks is sometimes questionable due to infrequent
trades or widely varying transaction prices.  Therefore, the available pricing
information on thinly traded stocks may not be a sound indicator of current
market conditions and could be particularly misleading as an indicator of market
conditions for the to-be-issued stock of a converting savings institution.  To
insure the equities in the comparative group have access to an active and
regular trading market, we attempted to limit our selection to companies listed
on the three major exchanges and those demonstrating an active and liquid
trading market.  However, we did select some savings institutions that were not
listed on one of the three major exchanges in order to include institutions in
North Carolina.  Even on the 

                                      28

 
three major exchanges trading volume in all stocks varies considerably,
especially among the OTC-listed companies. Therefore, the underlying reasons for
the volume of trading for particular issues must be given consideration. We
attempted to eliminate from the comparative group companies with market prices
that were materially influenced by publicly announced or widely rumored
acquisitions. However, the expectation of continued industry consolidation is
embedded in the thrift equities' market.

Geographic Location.  The region of the country where a company operates is also
- --------------------
of considerable importance in selecting the comparative group.  The operating
environment for savings institutions can vary greatly from state to state, with
respect to legal and regulatory climates from region to region because of
economic characteristics, real estate market conditions, takeover activity, and
investment climates.  Economic and investor climates can vary greatly within a
region, particularly due to takeover activity.  We attempted to select savings
institutions in the Southeast, primarily in North Carolina, that also met most
of the other criteria.

Operating characteristics.  Critically, an institution's operating
- --------------------------
characteristics are important factors because they effect investors' expected
rates of return on a company's stock under various economic scenarios, and they
influence the market's general perception of the quality and attractiveness of a
given company.  Operating characteristics, which may vary in importance during
the business cycle, include financial variables such as profitability, balance
sheet growth, capitalization, asset quality, and other factors such as lines of
business and management strategies.  Asset quality remains significant among
investor considerations as thrift earnings problems in the current interest rate
environment are frequently due to real estate problems.

In arriving at a comparative group for Richmond Savings, we initially examined
the universe of profitable similarly sized thrifts (under $100 million, where
possible) and thrifts headquartered in or near North Carolina.  We considered
Richmond Savings' loan portfolio consisting primarily of one-to-four family
residential loans and the wide variety of deposit products it offers, as
critical variables which distinguish Richmond Savings from other thrift
institutions.  Another issue of importance was the criterion of capitalization.
We included companies that offered mortgage loans as well as non-mortgage loans.

Richmond Savings' historic core earnings are strong and we generally excluded
companies reporting negative earnings, unless other factors outweighed this
restriction.  We also eliminated companies in less favorable market areas and
relaxed our criteria modestly for institutions located in the Southeast.  Where
possible, we included companies headquartered in or near North Carolina.

Table 17 provides a summary of the general characteristics of Richmond Savings
and the ten companies selected for the comparative group.  Exhibit III-8
provides a comparison of the loan portfolios of the individual comparative
companies and the Savings Bank.  While differences inevitably exist between the
Savings Bank and the individual comparative companies, we believe the
comparative group provides a basis for meaningful comparisons for valuation
purposes.  We included within the comparative group five thrifts located in
North Carolina, one thrift located in Virginia, two thrifts located in Ohio, one
thrift located in Kentucky, and one thrift located in Alabama.  The chosen
companies ranged in asset size from $56.4 million to $256.3 million, with five
of the ten having an asset size under $100.0 million.

million and equity was 15.22% of assets.  Bedford  is profitable reporting a
return on average assets of 1.29% for the last twelve months.  Bedford is a good
comparable for Richmond Savings because of its financial performance, its
location in the Southeast, and its loan portfolio composition.

Wood Bancorp, Inc.; Bowling Green, OH: Wood's asset size is $139.7 million.
- --------------------------------------
Wood's loan portfolio of one-to-four family mortgages at 80.51% of total loans

- ------------------------------------------------
Siler City, North Carolina which is also a small community in North Carolina.

excellent comparable.

                         III.  MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENTS

This chapter identifies the adjustments to the Savings Bank's estimated pro
forma market value because of the financial differences between Richmond Savings
and the comparative group.  Adjustments are also necessary to reflect the equity
market's likely reception of a new thrift stock offering.  The adjustments
discussed in this chapter are made from the viewpoint of potential investors,
which include depositors holding subscription rights and unrelated parties who
may purchase stock in the community offering.  It is assumed that these
potential investors are aware of all relevant and necessary facts as they
pertain to the value of the Savings Bank relative to other publicly traded
thrift institutions and relative to alternative investments.

The market value adjustments are based on certain financial and other criteria,
which include, among other factors:

(1) Earnings Prospects
(2) Market Area
(3) Management
(4) Dividend Policy
(5) Liquidity of the Issue
(6) Subscription Interest
(7) Regulatory Environment
(8) Stock Market Conditions and New Issue Discount

The final section of this chapter identifies the Savings Bank's estimated pro
forma market value, and compares the resulting company with members of the
comparative group, and the all public thrift aggregate with respect to market
valuation ratios.

Earnings Prospects
- ------------------

Earnings prospects depend upon the relative sensitivity of asset yields and
liability costs to changes in market interest rates (which are displayed in
Exhibit IV-3), the credit quality of assets, the stability of non-interest
components of income and expense, and the ability to leverage the balance sheet.
Each of the foregoing is an important factor to investors.

Richmond Savings' profitability peaked in 1993.  The lower level profitability
in 1994 was fueled by a higher interest rate environment.  Net interest income
fell during 1995 as customers refinanced to lower interest rates and the
competitive pressure to pay higher rates on CDs lowered the profitability.  Net
interest income declined during 1996 relative to the comparable 1995 due to the
increase in interest rates that caused the cost of deposit interest to increase
more rapidly than the yield on interest-earning assets.

As discussed in Chapter II, the Savings Bank compared favorably to peer
institutions on selected profitability measures.  The Savings Bank generates a
higher return on equity at 7.01% than the comparable group, which averages
5.30%, and has lower growth rates in assets, loans, and deposits than those of
the comparative group.

                                      34

 
A critical question facing many institutions, including Richmond Savings, is
whether net interest margins have peaked in the current interest rate
environment.  In the last twelve months, the Savings Bank experienced a
shrinkage of the net interest margin which probably indicates that the Savings
Bank's net interest margin has peaked for now.  Thus, future earnings
enhancement is unlikely to come from improving spreads and more likely to be
predicated on business expansion and expense controls.  Though Richmond Savings'
asset base is growing, the balance sheet indicates it may have difficulty in the
future increasing earnings through growth.  Positively, the Savings Bank's asset
quality is good and management remains committed to maintaining asset quality.
Given the composition of the loan portfolio, significant asset quality problems
are unlikely.

The comparative companies were selected to represent thrift institutions which
face the same pressures as the Savings Bank.  When the Savings Bank is compared
to the comparative group, the Savings Bank's asset growth and its level of
profitability is lower.  For this reason, we believe a slight downward
adjustment should be made for earnings prospects.

Market Area
- -----------

As discussed in Chapter I, the Savings Bank maintains a larger share of its
local deposit and lending market in Richmond County than it does in Moore and
Scotland Counties.  The Bank also faces competition in its market area from
larger institutions with greater resources, as is typical of institutions of its
asset size.   The Savings Bank's primary market area is rural and is not
projected to grow by more than 1 to 2 percent in the next five years.  The
Bank's deposit market share has declined in all but one of the three counties it
serves.  Overall, we believe that a slight downward adjustment is warranted to
reflect the increased competition and slow population growth.

Management
- ----------

Management has operated the Savings Bank in a conservative manner, stressing an
adequate capital level and maintaining good asset quality.  The result has been
an increase in capital. Management of the individual comparative companies face
similar demands as the Savings Bank's management.  We do not believe that the
demands placed on the Savings Bank's management exceed those experienced by most
public thrift institutions and the Savings Bank appears to have competent
management for its business strategy.  Management also has a detailed management
succession plan in place that should assure the continued progress of the
Savings Bank and that the assets will be properly safeguarded in the event of
the personal disaster of any of the key management personnel.  Accordingly, we
believe no adjustment should be made for management.

Liquidity
- ---------

Small conversion offerings often do not have a firm and liquid market after
conversion.  The market for Richmond Savings' common stock following the
conversion based on the Savings Bank's plan is to list on NASDAQ.  A lack of
liquidity in a stock typically reduces investor demand for the stock and is a
negative consideration.  The degree of the discount which is experienced by
liquid stocks relative to more widely traded shares is not subject to a precise
determination.  Several studies suggest that the discount could be large.

                                      35

 
Modestly capitalized thrifts listed on NASDAQ appear to be trading at a discount
relative to thrifts overall.  This is because trading activity remains very low.
To some extent, a discount for liquidity is evident among the smaller market
capitalized comparative companies.  The Savings Bank's capital at the midpoint
is close to the average of the comparative group.  Therefore, we do not believe
an adjustment for liquidity is warranted.

Dividends
- ---------

The Savings Bank will consider paying an annual dividend following conversion.
The Savings Bank has sufficient capital and earnings to pay a dividend.  Since
most thrifts pay some kind of dividend, we do not believe an adjustment is
warranted for dividends.

Subscription Interest
- ---------------------

It is very difficult to predict the outcome of subscription offerings.  In
recent years, initial offerings of publicly traded thrift stocks attracted a
great deal of professional investor interest, which resulted in sell-outs in the
subscription phase.  During the last half of 1994, as valuation ratios were
pushed higher, offerings experienced lackluster subscription interest.   In the
second half of 1995 the interest for these offerings was extremely strong.  The
first few conversions of 1996 have reached even new valuation highs.  There is,
however, some indication from underwriters that the interest level is peaking as
valuation levels may have become too high for the sophisticated investor.   The
Savings Bank's offering will be only to members of the Bank.  Based on this
limited offering, we believe that a slight downward adjustment is warranted at
this time.

Recent Regulatory Changes
- -------------------------

As widely reported, the regulatory environment for conversions changed
significantly.  Responding to large after-market price increases of many earlier
conversions, the regulatory focus shifted towards minimizing short-term after-
market appreciation.  The federal regulatory agencies publicly stated that only
modest after- market price appreciation will be tolerated.  New appraisal
guidelines indicate the adequacy of the appraisal will be judged by the
immediate price movement of conversions in the after-market, utilizing the
closing price on the second trading day after closing.  The average price
appreciation of all IPOs was between 10%-15% during the past few years.  The
regulatory guidelines indicate that this is unacceptable for conversion
offerings.

There is wide variability in the after-market performance of all initial public
offerings.  Market conditions at the time of the offering, economic conditions
facing the specific industry and company and investor perception of potential
returns are critical factors in after-market performance of any particular IPO.
When making a decision to invest in a thrift conversion, investors will compare
the potential for after-market price appreciation in a conversion offering with
that of alternative investments, including other IPOs.  When the price
performance of recent conversions turned negative, many investors refused to
continue to participate.

Investors have and are likely to continue to look negatively upon the regulatory
environment facing conversion offerings and the thrift industry and the
uncertainty regarding the ultimate pricing levels which the regulators will
require.  We have taken into account the changing regulatory requirements in
valuing Richmond Savings' conversion and have made a downward adjustment 

                                      36

 
because of the decline in the one-week price changes for conversions in the
first part of 1996 when compared to the one-week price changes for conversions
from the second half of 1995.


Stock Market Conditions
- -----------------------

Table 19 displays the performance of the SNL Thrift Index during the past three
years.  During 1994, interest rates moved upward as the Federal Reserve raised
short-term interest rates several times.  Economic reports displayed continued
strong growth, and earnings reports indicating little to no earnings growth at
some institutions helped to depress thrift and bank stock prices.  During the
spring of 1994, falling bond prices and inflation fears caused declining stock
prices among financial services and other interest rate sensitive companies.

Thrift stocks regained some momentum during the summer months as inflation fears
eased slightly.  A sell-off resumed during the Fall as indicated by the SNL
Index fall of 15.4% between September 1 and December 1, 1994.  Thrift stocks
declined more steeply than the bond market averages because of higher interest
rates which included an increase in the 30 year bond over 8.00% and the Federal
Reserve's short-term interest rate hike of 0.75% in mid-November.  Following the
mid-November rate hike and a brief rally in the bond market, thrift stocks
traded within a narrow range as the year headed towards a close.  The downward
trend among thrift stock prices was quickly reversed early in 1995 as economic
news indicated the Federal Reserve's prior actions to slow the economy were
having a noticeable impact.

A strong bond market and a consensus among investors that the Federal Reserve
would not raise short-term rates further pushed stock prices higher.  Through
the second half of 1995 as the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates, the stock
prices continued ever higher.  During the first part of 1996, bond prices began
to decline and increases in the SNL Index slowed from the growth experienced in
the last half of 1995.  On January 31, 1996, the SNL Index closed at 371
representing a 44.9% increase from 256 on January 31, 1995.  The SNL Index
peaked on August 8, 1996, at 399, which represents a 7.5% increase since January
31, 1996.  Almost all of the increase in the index occurred in 1995 as indicated
by the increase from January 1, 1995.  During July 1996, uncertainty about the
Federal Reserve raising interest rates and mixed signals from economic data
further impacted stock market fluctuations.  Based on the relatively flat
increase in the SNL index of 4.5% from March 29, 1996, through August 8, 1996,
we have adjusted Richmond Savings slightly downward.

Recent Acquisitions in the Savings Bank's Market Area
- -----------------------------------------------------

Acquisition speculation is one factor impacting the prices of newly-converted
thrifts in the aftermarket.  Table 20 displays acquisitions of North and South
Carolina thrifts announced from January 1, 1993 through December 31, 1995.
During 1993, 1994, and 1995, there were 15, 18, and 9 transactions completed
respectively.  The average price/book ratio for transactions in 1995 was 207.3%,
168.6% in 1994, and 167.5% in 1993.  The average acquisition price/trailing
twelve months earnings ratio was 24.6 in 1995, 17.5 in 1994, and 16.6 in 1993.
Continued industry consolidation impacts thrift stock prices and to some degree,
influences the trading pattern of the comparative companies.  Due to the
acquisition activity primarily in North Carolina we have made an upward
adjustment.

New Issue Discount
- ------------------

Typically, a "new issue" discount that encompasses investor concerns and
investment risks inherent in all initial stock offerings is a factor to be
considered in conversion valuations.  The magnitude of the new issue discount
for conversions typically expands during periods of declining thrift stock
prices as investors require larger inducements and narrows during strong
markets.

A potential new issue discount must consider the after-market performance of
recent thrift offerings.  Table 21 presents a summary of standard conversions
completed during each half of 1995 and conversions completed to date in 1996.

In 1995, improving market fundamentals, declining concerns over inflation, and
lower pro forma valuation ratios at the beginning of the year added momentum to
the conversion market.  In the wake of Carver Federal's decline and the decline
in the overall thrift market, initial offering prices were driven back into the
general range of 55% to 60% of pro forma book value in early 1995.  The pro
forma price/book ratio of 1995 conversions in the second half of 1995, however,
escalated to an average price-to-book ratio of 72.4% and a price-to-earnings
multiple of 19.0.  This compares to the first half of 1995 average price-to-book
ratio of 66.6% and a price-to-earnings ratio of 16.2.  There have been 49
conversions completed since the beginning of 1996, at an average price-to-book
ratio of 69.3% and a price-to-earnings ratio of 20.8.

Clearly, the support for new conversions has been strong.  Based on discussions
with underwriters of recent transactions, it seems that once again the pricing
on the conversion market is peaking and investors are beginning to feel that
these issues are fully priced.  This sentiment is being born out by the one-day
and one-week percentage change in stock prices, which in 1996 averaged 9.6% and
9.9%, respectively, compared to an average of 21.4% and 22.0%, respectively, in
the second half of 1995.

In North Carolina in 1996, excluding Wake Forest FS&LA, MHC, a mutual holding
company, there have been four conversions including Green Street Financial
Corp., Scotland Bancorp, Inc., Stone Street Bancorp, Inc., and Mitchell Bancorp,
Inc.  The average price to book ratio is 72.2% and the average price to earnings
multiple is 36.3.  This average is above the average of all deals for 1996.
Excluding the price to earnings multiple of Mitchell Bancorp, Inc. of 94.5, the
average price to earnings multiple for the remaining three North Carolina
conversions in 1996 is 16.9.  The average one week percent change for the four
conversions is 18.4%. The Mitchell Bancorp transaction which closed in July 1996
was the lowest price to book ratio of each of the North Carolina conversions in
1996 at 68.1%.  This is a further indication that the market for thrift
conversions during the month of July had weakened due to the overall stock
market conditions.  Although the market has weakened, North Carolina thrifts
typically have outperformed other out of area thrifts, therefore, we believe an
upward adjustment should be made for the new issue discount.

Adjustments Conclusion
- ----------------------

We believe the Savings Bank's to-be-issued Common Stock should be discounted by
25% to 34% relative to the comparative group. We believe the discount is due, in
large part, to the new issue discount needed for a thrift stock offering. With
respect to the other factors discussed above, the overall discount is relatively
modest. Conversions are often priced at substantial discounts relative to the
price/book ratio but near the comparative price earnings ratio. It is the role
of the appraiser to balance the price/book and price/earning discounts and
premiums. In this instance, the pro forma price/earnings ratio should be placed
within the range of the comparative institutions.

Valuations Approach
- -------------------

Table 22 displays the market valuation characteristics of Richmond Savings and 
the comparative group as of June 30, 1996. Exhibit V displays the pro forma 
pricing worksheet for Richmond Savings.
    
We believe that investors continue to make decisions with respect to conversion 
stock based upon price/book and price/earnings comparisons. The price/assets 
ratio, we believe, is not currently accorded much weight by investors. Utilizing
a price/book discount of approximately 25% to 34% relative to the comparable 
companies, the resulting pro forma ratio is 73% to 65%. The price/earnings ratio
should be within a range of 18 to 16 times recently reported earnings.     

Based upon a 25% to 34% discount relative to the comparative group price/book 
ratio, we believe the Savings Bank's pro forma standard conversion value is 
$14.0 million. This provides for a pro forma price/book ratio of 69.28% at the 
midpoint. The resulting price/earnings ratio based on the last twelve month's 
earnings before extraordinary items was 18.3, and last quarter earnings was 20.5
at the midpoint. The range of pro forma price/book ratios was 64.6% to 73.2%, 
and 77.0% at the adjusted maximum. The range of price/earnings ratios at the 
minimum and the maximum was 18.2 to 22.7 based upon last quarter earnings and 
16.1 to 20.3 based upon last twelve month earnings.

Valuation Conclusion
- --------------------

It is therefore our opinion that, as of August 8, 1996, the estimated pro forma 
market value of the Savings Bank's to be issued Common Stock is $14,000,000. The
values range from $11,900,000 at the minimum to $16,100,000 at the maximum. The 
resulting adjusted maximum above the maximum is $18,515,000.

Adjustments Conclusion
- ----------------------

We believe the Savings Bank's to-be-issued Common Stock should be discounted by
25% to 34% relative to the comparative group.  We believe the discount is due,
in large part, to the new issue discount needed for a thrift stock offering.
With respect to the other factors discussed above, the overall discount is
relatively modest.  Conversions are often priced at substantial discounts
relative to the price/book ratio but near the comparative price earnings ratio.
It is the role of the appraiser to balance the price/book and price/earning
discounts and premiums.  In this instance, the pro forma price/earnings ratio
should be placed within the range of the comparative institutions.

Valuation Approach
- ------------------

Table 22 displays the market valuation characteristics of Richmond Savings and
the comparative group as of June 30, 1996.  Exhibit V displays the pro forma
pricing worksheet for Richmond Savings.

We believe that investors continue to make decisions with respect to conversion
stock based upon price/book and price/earnings comparisons.  The price/assets
ratio, we believe, is not currently accorded much weight by investors.
Utilizing a price/book discount of approximately 25% to 34% relative to the
comparable companies, the resulting pro forma ratio is 73% to 65%.  The
price/earnings ratio should be within a range of 18 to 16 times recently
reported earnings.

Based upon a 25% to 34% discount relative to the comparative group price/book
ratio, we believe the Savings Bank's pro forma standard conversion value is
$14.0 million.  This provides for a pro forma price/book ratio of 69.28% at the
midpoint.  The resulting price/earnings ratio based on the last twelve months'
earnings before extraordinary items was 18.3, and last quarter earnings was 20.5
at the midpoint.  The range of pro forma price/book ratios was 64.6% to 73.2%,
and 77.0% at the adjusted maximum.  The range of price/earnings ratios at the
minimum and the maximum was 18.2 to 22.7 based upon last quarter earnings and
16.1 to 20.3 based upon last twelve months earnings.

Valuation Conclusion
- --------------------

It is therefore our opinion that, as of August 8, 1996, the estimated pro forma
market value of the Savings Bank's to be issued Common Stock is $14,000,000.
The values range from $11,900,000 at the minimum to $16,100,000 at the maximum.
The resulting adjusted maximum above the maximum is $18,515,000.

                  Calculation of Return on Conversion Proceeds



In making the pro forma adjustments to calculate the additional income from the
net conversion proceeds, we have made the following assumptions:

    1.    The net proceeds are invested at the beginning of the applicable
          period to yield 5.64%. Income taxes were assumed to be 39%, resulting
          in an after-tax yield of 3.44%.

    2.    Earnings before extraordinary items were utilized as the earnings
          base.

    3.    The Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (ESOP) will purchase 8% of
          the shares of Common Stock issued in the Conversion.  Funds used to
          acquire the ESOP shares will be borrowed from the Holding Company.
          The Savings Bank expects to repay the debt over a 10-year period at
          the prime rate.  Appropriate adjustments to pro forma equity and
          earnings have been incorporated.

    4.    Management intends to propose for consideration and approval by
          stockholders at the first annual meeting following the Management
          Recognition Plan ("MRP") for outside directors and for officers and
          employees.  It is assumed that the MRP will be acquired through open
          market purchases.

    5.    It is assumed that (i) 100% of the shares will be sold in the
          Offerings; and (ii) Trident Securities will receive a management fee
          of 1% of the gross proceeds of the Offerings, plus commissions of 2%
          of the gross proceeds less: Directors purchases and the amount of the
          ESOP.

    6.    Total expenses at the midpoint are estimated to be $754,000.

                                      47
