                              OLD NORTH STATE BANK
================================================================================

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Old North State Bank (the Bank) was organized and incorporated under the laws
of the State of North Carolina on June 30, 1989.  The Bank commenced operations
on August 14, 1989, and currently serves the counties of Forsyth and Stokes,
and the city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, through seven banking offices.
As a state chartered, Federal Reserve member bank, the Bank is subject to
regulation by the State of North Carolina Banking Commission and the Federal
Reserve.  Old North State Bank Investments, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Bank which sells mutual funds and annuities.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Bank and its subsidiary follow
generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the
financial services industry.  Following is a summary of the more significant
policies.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and it
subsidiary.  All significant, intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation
of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of
loans.  In connection with the determination of the allowances for loan and
foreclosed real estate losses, management obtains independent appraisals for
significant properties.

Substantially all of the Bank's loan portfolio consists of loans in its market
area.  Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the
Bank's loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying
amount of foreclosed real estate are susceptible to changes in local market
conditions.  The regional economy is diverse with the primary employers being
health care, manufacturing and financial services.

While management uses available information to recognize loan and foreclosed
real estate losses, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based
on changes in local economic conditions.  In addition, regulatory agencies, as
a part of their routine examination process, periodically review the Bank's
allowances for loan and foreclosed real estate losses.  Such agencies may
require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on their
judgments about information available to them at the time of their
examinations.  Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the
allowances for loan and foreclosed real estate losses may change materially in
the near term.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For the purposes of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents are defined as those amounts included in cash and due from banks
(including items in process of clearing).

TRADING SECURITIES

The Bank does not hold securities for short-term resale and therefore does not
maintain a trading securities portfolio.
    

   9


SECURITIES HELD TO MATURITY

Bonds, notes, and debentures for which the Bank has the positive intent and
ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and
discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over
the period to maturity or to call dates.
   10
================================================================================

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and consist of bonds,
notes, debentures, and certain equity securities not classified as trading
securities or as held-to-maturity securities.

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale
securities are reported as a net amount in a separate component of
stockholders' equity.  Realized gains and losses on the sale of
available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific-identification
method.  Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the
interest method over the period to maturity or to call dates.

Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale securities below cost that are other than temporary are
reflected as write-downs of the individual securities to fair value.  Related
write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses.

LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their
outstanding principal amount adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for
loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized
premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and
recognized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.  Discounts and
premiums on any purchased residential real estate loans are amortized to income
using the interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity,
adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Discounts and premiums on any purchased
consumer loans are recognized over the expected lives of the loans using
methods that approximate the interest method.

Interest is accrued and credited to income based on the principal amount
outstanding.  The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when,
in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they
become due.  When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest
is reversed.  Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent
cash payments are received.

The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased
by charge-offs, net of recoveries.  Management's periodic evaluation of the
adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank's past loan loss experience,
known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect
the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying
collateral, and current economic conditions.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Land is carried at cost.  Bank premises, furniture and equipment, and leasehold
improvements are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization computed principally by the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:


                                                   Years
                                                   -----
                                                
                       Buildings and improvements  10-40
                       Furniture and equipment      3-20



FORECLOSED PROPERTIES

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to
be sold and are initially recorded at fair value less anticipated cost to sell
at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis.  After foreclosure,
valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is
carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are
included in loss on foreclosed real estate.  The historical average holding
period for such properties is less than 12 months.

================================================================================

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the
accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees.  The Company is not required to adopt the fair
value based recognition provisions prescribed under SFAS No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation (issued in October 1995), but complies with the
disclosure requirements set forth in the Statement, which include disclosing
proforma net income as if the fair value method of accounting had been applied.

INCOME TAXES

Provision for income taxes is based on amounts reported in the statements of
income (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on state and
municipal securities) and consists of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes
on temporary differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and
financial statement purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included
in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to
the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be
realized or settled.  As changes in tax laws or rates enacted, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Deferred income tax liability relating to unrealized appreciation (or the
deferred tax asset in the case of unrealized depreciation) on investment
securities available for sale is recorded in other liabilities (assets).  Such
unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded as an adjustment to equity
in the financial statements and not included in income determination until
realized.  Accordingly, the resulting deferred income tax liability or asset is
also recorded as an adjustment to equity.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect to stock splits
and dividends.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Any derivative financial instruments held or issued by the Bank are held or
issued for purposes other than trading.

In the ordinary course of business the Bank has entered into off-balance-sheet
financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit and commercial
and standby letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in the
financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or
received.

The Bank does not utilize interest-rate exchange agreements or interest-rate
futures contracts.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information
about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet.
In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques
are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate
and estimates of future cash flows.  In that regard, the derived fair value
estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in
many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments.
Statement No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial
instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair
value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

================================================================================

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, CONTINUED

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet
for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.

Interest-bearing deposits with banks:  Fair values for time deposits are
estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates
currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated contractual
maturities on such time deposits.

Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities:  Fair values for
securities, excluding restricted equity securities, are based on quoted market
prices, where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, fair
values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.  The
carrying values of restricted equity securities approximate fair values.

Loans receivable:  For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no
significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts.
The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow
analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with
similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Loan fair value
estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk
characteristics.  Fair value for impaired loans are estimated using discounted
cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values, where applicable.  The
carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposit liabilities:  The fair values disclosed for demand and savings deposits
are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting
date.  The fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a
discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being
offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated contractual maturities on
such time deposits.  The carrying amount of accrued interest payable
approximates fair value.

Short-term debt:  The carrying amounts of short-term debt approximate their
fair values.

Other liabilities:  For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value considers the
difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.
The carrying amounts of other liabilities approximates fair value.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial
statements to place them on a comparable basis with the current year.  Net
income and stockholders' equity previously reported were not affected by these
reclassifications.

NOTE 2.  BUSINESS COMBINATION

On December 28, 1995, Old North State Bank acquired Piedmont BancShares
Corporation and its consolidated subsidiary, Enterprise Bank and Trust Company,
in exchange for 828,320 shares of Old North State Bank common stock valued at
$5,582,877.  In conjunction with the acquisition, Piedmont BancShares
Corporation and Enterprise Bank and Trust Company were merged with and into Old
North State Bank.  Enterprise Financial Service Corporation, formerly a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Enterprise Bank and Trust Company, was renamed Old
North State Investments, Inc. and continues as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old
North State Bank.

NOTE 11.  COMMON STOCK

OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

The Bank maintains a qualified incentive stock option plan which originally
reserved up to 67,624 shares for purchase by eligible employees.  Options are
granted under the plan which are exercisable at $5.45 per share or the fair
market value of the Bank's common stock at the date of grant, whichever is
higher.  Options generally vest at 20% per year and expire ten years from the
date of grant (from April 2000 through March 2004), except that expiration and
vesting may occur earlier as a result of death, disability, termination or
certain changes in control of the Bank.  At December 31, 1996, no additional
options are available for grant under the plan.

The Bank also has common stock options outstanding at December 31, 1996 and
1995, issued under a non-qualified employee stock option plan of a company
acquired by the Bank.  Options outstanding pursuant to this arrangement are
fully vested, exercisable at $9.09 per share and expire between July 1999 and
September 2001.  At December 31, 1996, there were 66,098 of these options
outstanding.

At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Bank had warrants outstanding to purchase
40,342 shares of its common stock.  These warrants were issued to organizers
and founders of a company acquired by the Bank, are immediately exercisable at
$9.09 per share and expire on April 11, 2000.

The Bank maintained a nonqualified stock option plan which reserved up to
33,509 shares (before 1994 stock dividend and 1995 split) for purchase by
directors.  During 1994 options to purchase 33,502 shares (all that were
granted under the plan) were exercised at $11 per share.

NOTE 12.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Bank has adopted a profit sharing plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code.  The plan covers substantially all employees who have
completed one year of service.  Participants may contribute a percentage of
compensation, subject to a maximum allowed under the Code.  In addition, the
Bank may make additional contributions at the discretion of the Board of
Directors.  The Bank contribution was approximately $13,100 for 1996.  There
was no expense to the Bank relating to this plan for 1995 or 1994, as the plan
was not adopted until December 28, 1995.

NOTE 13.  INCOME TAXES, CONTINUED

OPERATING LOSS AND CARRYFORWARDS

At December 31, 1996, the Bank had federal net operating loss carryforwards for
income tax purposes of approximately $737,900 which will expire from 2005
through 2008 if not previously utilized.  State net economic loss
carryforwards, which expire in 1997 and 1998, amount to approximately $549,000
at December 31, 1996.  The deferred tax benefit resulting from state net
economic loss carryforwards has been offset in full by a valuation allowance.

NOTE 14.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION

In the normal course of business the Bank is involved in various legal
proceedings.  After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that
any liability resulting from such proceedings will not be material to the
consolidated financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, credit risk in
excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other
party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those
instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as for on-balance-sheet instruments.  A summary of the
Bank's commitments at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is as follows:




                                                          1996         1995

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected
to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Bank evaluates each
customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on
management's credit evaluation of the party.  Collateral held varies, but may
include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential
real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those guarantees are
primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements.  The
credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies
as specified above and is required in instances which the Bank deems necessary.

NOTE 14.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, CONTINUED

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Substantially all of the Bank's loans, commitments to extend credit, and
standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Bank's market
area and such customers are generally depositors of the Bank.  Investments in
state and municipal securities involve governmental entities within and outside
the Bank's market area.  The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set
forth in Note 5.  The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates
the distribution of loans outstanding.  Standby letters of credit were granted
primarily to commercial borrowers.  The Bank's primary focus is toward consumer
and small business transactions, and accordingly, it does not have a
significant number of credits to any single borrower or group of related
borrowers in excess of $1,000,000.

The Bank has cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions
which exceed federally-insured limits.

OTHER COMMITMENTS

The Bank has entered into employment agreements with certain of its key
officers covering duties, salary, benefits, stock options, provisions for
termination and Bank obligations in the event of merger or acquisition.

NOTE 15.  REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS

DIVIDENDS

The Bank, as a North Carolina banking corporation, may pay dividends only out
of undivided profits (retained earnings) as determined pursuant to North
Carolina General Statutes Section 53-87.  However, regulatory authorities may
limit payment of dividends by any bank when it is determined that such a
limitation is in the public interest and is necessary to ensure financial
soundness of the Bank.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory (and possibly additional discretionary) actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines
and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's
assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank's capital amounts and classification
are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,
risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I
capital to average assets, as all those terms are defined in the regulations.
Management believes, as of December 31, 1996, that the Bank meets all capital
adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage
ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

NOTE 16.  TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the
same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and did not, in the
opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other
unfavorable features.  Aggregate transactions involving the purchase of goods
and services from related parties in 1996 amounted to approximately $32,230.

Aggregate 1996 and 1995 loan transactions with related parties were as follows:

NOTE 18.  PENDING AFFILIATION

On March 14, 1997, the Bank entered an agreement to affiliate with LSB
Bancshares, Inc. through an arrangement whereby Old North State Bank would be
merged into Lexington State Bank, a subsidiary of LSB Bancshares, Inc.
Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including
approval by the shareholders of Old North State Bank and appropriate regulatory
authorities.

NOTE 19.  LITIGATION

On March 11, 1997, the Bank filed a lawsuit in Forsyth County against two
individuals and a related business to collect the balance of amounts paid by
the Bank (approximately $94,000) to a supplier of the business for purchases
made by the business.

On May 9, 1997, the defendants filed an answer to the lawsuit and included
counterclaims against the Bank on the basis of allegations that the Bank 
(i) unlawfully converted assets of the defendants by placing an administrative
freeze on the defendants' accounts with the Bank (amounting to approximately
$67,000) and (ii) engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices. The
counterclaims seek compensatory damages in excess of $10,000 and an award of
punitive damages or, in the alternative, that the compensatory damages be
trebled.

The management of Old North State Bank denies the validity of these
counterclaims and intends to vigorously defend these matters in addition to
aggressively pursuing its own claims against the defendants. However, the
litigation is in too early a stage to determine the outcome of this
contingency.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


Board of Directors and Stockholders
Old North State Bank
Winston-Salem, North Carolina

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Old North State Bank and
subsidiary as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each 
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Old North State
Bank and subsidiary at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                              OLD NORTH STATE BANK
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accompanying unaudited financial statements
were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and therefore, do
not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principals
for a complete presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of
management, the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial condition of Old North State Bank as of June 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996, the results of operations for the six months and
three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and its cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the
full year.

Old North State Bank is located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Old North
State Investments, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank) sells mutual
funds and annuities. The accounting policies as set forth below are those
followed by the Bank in addition to the accounting policies as set forth in Note
1 of Old North State's annual financial statements previously furnished in
connection with the registration of filing to become a member of the Federal
Reserve Bank.

PRESENTATION OF CASH FLOWS: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due
from banks includes cash and amounts due from depository institutions (including
cash items in process of clearing). Overnight interest-bearing deposits, and
federal funds sold are shown separately. Cash flows from demand deposits, NOW
accounts and savings accounts are reported net since their original maturities
are less than three months. Loans and time deposits are reported net per FASB
statement no. 104. Federal Funds purchased are shown separately.

INVESTMENTS SECURITIES: Investment securities classified as held to maturity are
those debt securities that the Bank has the ability and intent to hold to
maturity. Accordingly, these securities are carried at cost adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed by the
interest-method over their contractual lives.

Investments classified as available for sale are intended to be held for
indefinite periods of time and include those securities that management may
employ as part of asset/liability strategy or that may be sold in response to
changes in interest rates, prepayments, regulatory capital requirements or
similar factors. These securities are carried at the lower of amortized cost or
market value. Gains and losses on the sales of such securities are determined by
the specific-identification method.

LOANS: Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned
discount and fees, and an allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate to
provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance is
increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net
charge-offs. The Bank makes continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolio and
considers current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, review
of specific problem loans and other factors in determining the adequacy of the
allowance balance.

Activity in the allowance for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 1997
and June 30, 1996 follows:



                                               June 30, 1997      June 30, 1996

                                                 1,076,053          1,019,202
                                                ==========         ==========


Interest on all loans is accrued daily on the outstanding balance. Accrual of
interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering
collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's financial condition is
such that collection of interest is doubtful.

NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earnings per share for the six months ended June
30, 1997 and 1996, were calculated by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period.

NOTE 3. BALANCE SHEETS - The Balance Sheet at December 31, 1996, has been taken
from the audited financial statements at that date.

NOTE 4. RECLASSIFICATIONS - For comparative purposes, there may be certain
amounts in the 1996 consolidated financial statements which have been
reclassified to conform with the classifications used in 1997. Such
reclassifications have no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as
previously reported.

                    PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

       The following Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information and explanatory
notes are presented to show the impact of the Merger on LSB's historical
financial position and results of operations. The Merger is reflected in the Pro
Forma Condensed Financial Information under the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting.

       The Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet presented assumes that the Merger
was consummated on December 31, 1996, and the Pro Forma Condensed Income
Statements assume that the Merger was consummated at the beginning of each
period presented.

       ONSB acquired Piedmont BancShares Corporation and its consolidated
subsidiary, Enterprise Bank and Trust Company, in the fourth quarter of 1995.
The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and,
accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of LSB reflected in the

               NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


   
Note 1.  Certain material, nonrecurring adjustments of approximately 
         $1.5 million (pre-tax) will be recorded in conjunction with the Merger.
         These adjustments include amounts to effect the settlement of
         obligations under existing employment contracts and amounts associated
         with the conversion of ONSB branches. It is estimated that
         approximately $840 thousand of the expenses will be directly related to
         effecting the Merger and therefore will not be deductible for income
         tax purposes. The impact of these adjustments has been reflected in the
         Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheets as of June 30, 1997, and December
         31, 1996, respectively.

Note 2.  Based on an Exchange Rate of 0.948 for the conversion of ONSB Stock
         into LSB Stock. At June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, ONSB had
         1,582,678 and 1,580,978 shares of stock outstanding, respectively.

Note 3.  No pro forma adjustments relating to the Merger are reflected in the
         Pro Forma Condensed Income Statements.

Note 4.  ONSB's weighted average shares outstanding at December 31, 1995 are
         based on 750,659 average shares outstanding adjusted for a 1.922 for
         one stock split paid January 1, 1995 and the acquisition of Piedmont
         BancShares Corporation in exchange for 828,320 shares of ONSB Stock.

Note 5.  ONSB's weighted average shares outstanding at December 31, 1996 are
         based on 1,576,623 average shares outstanding adjusted for the exercise
         of stock options of 8,807 shares.
