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 instructions to Form 10-QSB of
Regulation S-X. 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 31,
1996 include only the accounts and operations of Scotland Savings Bank. The
results of operations for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 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
1996 annual report of the Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
_______________________________________________________________________________
NOTE 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company's earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended March
31, 1997 is based on 1,698,096 shares assumed to be outstanding for the period.
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 three and six month periods ended March 31, 1996 has not been
presented in the consolidated statements of income because the Bank had not
converted to stock form and the Company had not completed its stock offering
until March 29, 1996.
NOTE 4. DIVIDENDS DECLARED
On March 18, 1997, the Board of Directors of Scotland Bancorp, Inc. declared a
dividend of $ .075 a share for stockholders of record as of April 10, 1997 and
payable on April 25, 1997. The dividends declared were accrued and reported as
other liabilities in the March 31, 1997 consolidated balance sheet
NOTE 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
At a special meeting of stockholders held on April 17, 1997, the stockholders
voted to approve the Company's proposed stock option plan and the Bank's
management recognition plan. The stock option plan authorizes the issuance of
up to 184,000 stock options to officers, directors and key employees 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 management recognition plan
authorizes an additional 73,600 shares of common stock to officers, directors
and key employees. The Bank plans to acquire common stock from newly issued
shares to fund the management recognition plan. The stock options and the
restricted common stock under the management recognition plan vest 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 MARCH 31, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996:
Total assets increased by $302,000 to $68.9 million at March 31, 1997 from $68.6
million at September 30, 1996. Net loans receivable increased by $2.2 million
to $47.3 million at March 31, 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 $1.3 million to
$3.8 million at March 31, 1997 from $5.1 million at September 30, 1996.
Investment securities decreased by $711,000 and were offset by unrealized gains
in the fair value of the available for sale securities portfolio of $121,000,
for a net decrease of $590,000, and amounted to $16.0 million at March 31, 1997.
Cash and cash equivalents and investments decreased primarily to fund the
increase in loans, and to fund the payment of $321,000 during the quarter ended
December 31, 1996 for the special SAIF assessment to recapitalize the insurance
fund. 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 quarter ended March 31,
1997. 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 six
month period ended March 31, 1997. Retained earnings increased by $344,000
during the six month period ended March 31, 1997 to $9.1 million at March 31,
1997, which is attributable to the Company's earnings of $598,000 for the six
months ended March 31, 1997 less cash dividends declared or paid of $254,000.
At March 31, 1997, the Company's capital amounted to $25.3 million, which as a
percentage of total consolidated assets was 36.7%, 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 had no loans which were considered
nonperforming at March 31, 1997. The Bank's nonperforming loans as a percentage
of total loans outstanding was .07% at September 30, 1996. During the six
month period ended March 31, 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 six
month period ended March 31, 1997. As a result, and based on management's
analysis of the adequacy of its allowances, only $12,000 during the six month
period ended March 31, 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.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1997 AND 1996:
GENERAL. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $296,000 or
$125,000 more than the $171,000 earned during the same quarter in 1996. Net
income for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was $598,000 or $260,000 more
than the $338,000 earned during the same period in 1996. As discussed below,
the increase in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in net
interest income for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to the same periods in
8
SCOTLAND BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
________________________________________________________________________________
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 three and
six month periods ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same periods for 1996 due
to a lower level of savings deposits required to finance the Company's
operations.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income increased by $98,000 from $1.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 to $1.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. Interest income increased by $259,000 from $2.3 million for the
six months ended March 31, 1996 to $2.5 million for the six months ended March
31, 1997. The increase in interest income for the three and six month periods
ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the comparable quarters for the previous
year is attributable to a higher level of interest-earning assets outstanding
during the periods. At March 31, 1997, interest-earning assets amounted to $67.9
million of which 70.0% were loans receivable. While at March 31, 1996, interest-
earning assets amounted to $69.1 million, this was the result of the infusion of
cash from the stock offering which closed two days before the end of the
quarter. In comparison, at December 31, 1995, interest-earning assets amounted
to $55.7 million.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased by $131,000 from $607,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 to $475,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1997. Interest expense decreased by $235,000 from $1.2 million for the six
months ended March 31, 1996 to $965,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997.
In total, the average balance of interest bearing liabilities was approximately
$3.2 million lower during the six months ending March 31, 1997 compared to the
same period in 1996. In addition, the Association's average cost of funds, which
approximated 4.54% for the six month period ended March 31, 1997, was
approximately 40 basis points lower than the cost for the quarter ended December
31, 1995, the midpoint of the same six month period a year earlier.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income increased by $229,000 from $560,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $789,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. Net interest income increased by $494,000 from $1.1 million for
the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $1.6 million for the six months ended
March 31, 1997. These increases resulted from the combination of an increase in
the volume of interest-earning assets and a decrease in the volume of interest-
bearing liabilities between the periods and a lower cost of funds in the three
and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same periods in
1996.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The Bank provided a $6,000 provision for loan losses
during each of its first two 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
six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 were provided primarily due to
the increases in the volume of the bank's loan portfolio during these periods.
9
SCOTLAND BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
________________________________________________________________________________
The Bank's loan loss provisions have been relatively minor during the three and
six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 because the Bank's level of
nonperforming loans has remained consistently low (or the Bank had no
nonperforming loans) in relation to prior periods and total loans outstanding.
At March 31, 1997, the Bank's level of general valuation allowances for loan
losses amounted to $237,000, which management believes is adequate to absorb
potential losses in its loan portfolio.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense increased by $26,000 to $327,000 for
the three month period ended March 31, 1997 from $301,000 for the comparable
quarter in 1996, and by $68,000 to $660,000 for the six month period ended March
31, 1997 from $592,000 for the comparable period in 1996, principally as a
result of an increase in compensation expense resulting from 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.
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 has been approved by
the Company's stockholders at a special meeting held on April 17, 1997. The

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 $1.3 million during the six month period ended
March 31, 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.

SCOTLAND BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
________________________________________________________________________________
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 March 31, 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.
