CODDLE CREEK FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY


NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1.  Nature of Business


On December 30, 1997, pursuant to a Plan of Conversion which was approved by its
members and regulators, Mooresville Savings Bank, Inc., SSB (the "Bank" or
"Mooresville Savings") converted from a North Carolina-chartered mutual savings
bank to a North Carolina-chartered stock savings bank (the "Conversion") and
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coddle Creek Financial Corp. (the
"Company"). Coddle Creek was formed to acquire all of the common stock of the
Bank upon its conversion to stock form. The Company has no operations and
conducts no business of its own other than owning Mooresville Savings, investing
its portion of the net proceeds received in the Conversion, and lending funds to
the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"), which was established in
connection with the Conversion.

Mooresville Savings' 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 non-interest 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, occupancy costs,
furniture and fixture expense, data processing charges, and other general and
administrative expenses.

Concurrent with the Conversion, and pursuant to North Carolina regulations, the
Bank established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its net worth as
reflected in its statement of financial condition contained in the prospectus
used in connection with the Company's initial public offering. The liquidation
account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible deposit account holders
who continue to maintain their deposit accounts in the Bank after Conversion.
Only in the event of a complete liquidation of the Company will each deposit
account holder be entitled to receive a liquidation distribution from the
liquidation account in the amount of the then current adjusted subaccount
balance for deposit accounts then held before any liquidation distribution may
be made with respect to common stock. Dividends paid by the Bank subsequent to
the Conversion cannot be paid from this liquidation account.

The Company must obtain Federal Reserve approval prior to repurchasing Common
Stock for in excess of 10% of its net worth during any twelve-month period
unless the Company (i) both before and after the redemption satisfies capital
requirements for "well capitalized" state member banks; (ii) received a one or
two rating in its last examination; and (iii) is not the subject of any
unresolved supervisory issues.

Although the payment of dividends and repurchase of stock by the Company are
subject to certain requirements and limitations of North Carolina corporate law,
except as set forth in this discussion, neither the Commissioner nor the FDIC
have promulgated any regulations specifically limiting the right of the Company
to pay dividends and repurchase shares. However, the ability of the Company to
pay dividends or repurchase shares may be dependent upon the Company's receipt
of dividends from the Bank.

A North Carolina-chartered stock savings bank may not declare or pay a cash
dividend on, or repurchase any of its capital stock if the effect of such
transaction would be to reduce the net worth of the institution to an amount
which is less than the minimum amount required by applicable federal and state
regulations. Also, an insured depository institution, such as the Bank, is
prohibited from making capital distributions, including the payment of
dividends, if, after making such distributions, the institution would become
"undercapitalized" (as such term is defined in the applicable law and
regulations).

Note 1.       Nature of Business (Continued)


In addition, the Bank is not permitted to declare or pay a cash dividend on or
repurchase any of its capital stock if the effect thereof would be to cause its
net worth to be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account
established in connection with the Bank's conversion from mutual to stock
ownership. Under FDIC regulations, stock repurchases may be made by the savings
bank only upon receipt of FDIC approval.

On January 2, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a special
return of capital dividend of $20.00 per share for stockholders of record as of
January 19, 2000 and payable on January 24, 2001. The ESOP purchased 40,327
additional shares with proceeds from the 2001 return of capital dividend in
2001.

Note 2.  Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited financial statements (except for the statement of
financial condition at December 31, 2002, which is derived from audited
financial statements at that date) have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 results of operations for the three month
period ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. The
accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders of
the Company.

Note 3.  Earnings Per Share


Earnings per share has been calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, and Statement of Position
93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. For purposes of
this computation, the number of shares of common stock purchased by the Bank's
ESOP which have not been allocated to participant accounts are not assumed to be
outstanding. Options to purchase 58,131 shares of common stock at $31.00 per
share were outstanding during the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, and because
the average market price is lower than the exercise price of $31.00, the
incremental shares are not considered dilutive and are not included in the
calculation of dilutive earnings per share.

Note 4.  Stock Option and Management Recognition Plans


The Company's stockholders approved the Company's Stock Option Plan and the
Bank's Management Recognition Plan (the "MRP") on January 26, 1999. The Stock
Option Plan reserves for issuance up to 67,447 stock options to officers,
directors, and employees at the time of the adoption either in the form of
incentive stock options or non-incentive stock options. The exercise price of
the stock options may not be less than the fair value of the Company's common
stock at date of grant, as adjusted for the stock splits and dividends affecting
market value. As permitted under generally accepted accounting principles,
grants under the plan will be accounted for following the provisions of APB
Opinion No. 25 and its related interpretations. At March 31, 2003, 58,131
options have been granted at an exercise price of $31.00 and all are currently
exercisable. No options have been exercised to date, and all options granted are
outstanding at March 31, 2003. No options were granted in the three-month
periods ending March 31, 2003 and 2002. The options outstanding have a
weighted-average remaining life of 7 years, and the income effect of the options
is immaterial.

The MRP reserved for issuance 26,979 shares of common stock to officers,
directors, and employees at the time of the adoption. The Bank issued 24,281
shares and 400 shares from authorized but unissued common stock to fund the MRP
on January 26, 1999 and January 26, 2000, respectively. The restricted common
stock under the MRP vests 25% at the date of grant and 25% annually beginning on
the one year anniversary of the date of grant.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002:

At March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 total assets amounted to $141.7 million
and $139.0 million, respectively. Loans receivable, net, decreased from $110.8
million at December 31, 2002 to $106.4 million at March 31, 2003, a $4.4 million
decrease. Deposits increased $3.0 million from $113.6 million at December 31,
2002 to $116.6 million at March 31, 2003. Investment securities increased $.4
million from $4.2 million at December 31, 2002 to $4.6 million at March 31, 2003
due to maturities of securities amounting to $.2 million and purchases of
securities in the amount of $.6 million. Stockholders' equity decreased by
$374,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This decrease is primarily
due to net income of $245,000 offset by the payment of a dividend of $624,000
paid during the first quarter of 2003. The Company's liquidity position improved
during the quarter as cash and cash equivalents increased $6.6 million to $25.7
million at March 31, 2003 from $19.1 million at December 31, 2002. This increase
is primarily the result of the decrease in loans and an increase in savings
deposits.

The Bank's level of nonperforming loans, defined as loans past due 90 days or
more, has historically been and continues to be low as a percentage of total
loans outstanding. The Bank had $3.2 million of loans outstanding which were
delinquent more than 90 days at March 31, 2003, compared to $2.3 million at
December 31, 2002. This increase is due to slower customer payments and the
addition of a few large dollar loans into this delinquency category. Based on
management's analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the
composition of the loan portfolio, the credit risk inherent in the portfolio and
historical loan loss experience, the allowance for loan losses is $855,000 and
$865,000 at March 31, 2003 and at December 31, 2002, respectively. Management
believes the allowance to be adequate to absorb any future losses in the
portfolio. See loan analysis on pages 12 and 13.

At March 31, 2003, the Company's capital amounted to $21.4 million, which as a
percentage of total consolidated assets was 15%, and was in excess of the
regulatory capital requirements at such date.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and
2002:

General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $245,000
compared to $294,000 during the same quarter in 2002. The decrease in net income
is due primarily to the decrease in the loan volume.

Interest income. Interest income decreased by $.4 million from $2.5 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $2.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2003. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in loan volume
during the first quarter of 2003 as compared to 2002. The decrease is also
partially due to a decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets from
7.36% during the three months ending March 31, 2002 to 6.11% during the three
months ending March 31, 2003. Approximately 96% of the Bank's assets were
interest-earning at March 31, 2003, and approximately 78% of such
interest-earning assets were held in the form of loans receivable.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $.2 million from $1.0 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2003. The decrease is primarily due to lower interest rates paid
on interest-bearing liabilities outstanding during the first quarter of 2003 in
comparison to the same quarter a year earlier.

Net interest income. Net interest income decreased by $.2 million from $1.5
million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $1.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2003, primarily due to the decrease in the loan volume,
the effect of which was not entirely offset by the lower interest rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision for loan losses. The Bank made provisions for loan losses amounting to
$9,000 and $-0- during the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. Provisions,
which are charged to operations, and the resulting loan loss allowances, are
amounts the Bank's management believes will be adequate to absorb 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 Bank's level of nonperforming loans has remained consistently low in
relation to prior periods and total loans outstanding. At March 31, 2003, the
Bank's level of general valuation allowances for loan losses amounted to
$855,000, which management believes is adequate to absorb potential losses in
its loan portfolio.

Non-interest expense. Non-interest expense decreased from $1.1 to $1.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to 2002. All categories of
non-interest expense fluctuated by insignificant amounts between the two
periods.

CODDLE CREEK FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Critical Accounting Policies:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has made a number of estimates
and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial
condition in preparing its financial statements in conformity with accounting
principals generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results
could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and
conditions. The Company believes the following discussion addresses the
Company's most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most
important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations and require management's most difficult, subjective and complex
judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of
matters that are inherently uncertain.

         Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a material
estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near
term, and is established through a provision for loan losses. The allowance is
based upon past loan loss experience and other factors which, in management's
judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. The evaluation
includes a review of all loans on which full collectibility may not be
reasonably assured. Other factors considered by management include the size and
character of the loan portfolio, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers
or industries, existing economic conditions and historical losses on each
portfolio category. In connection with the determination of the allowance for
loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant
properties that collateralize loans. With respect to loans that are deemed
impaired, if any, the calculation of allowance for loan losses is based upon the
discounted present value of expected cash flows to be received from the debtor,
or other measures of market prices or collateral values. Management believes
that it uses the best information available to make such determinations. If
actual circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making
determinations, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be
necessary, and results of operations will be affected. For example, a prolonged
economic turndown will negatively impact customers' abilities to repay their
loans in a timely manner and could result in an adverse effect in the Company's
net income. While the Company believes it has established its existing allowance
for loan losses in conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in
the United States of America, there can be no assurance that regulators, in
reviewing the Bank's loan portfolio, will not request an increase in the
allowance for loan losses. Because future events affecting the borrowers and
collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that
increases to the allowance will not be necessary if loan quality deteriorates.

         The above is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all the
Company's accounting policies.

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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capital Resources and Liquidity (Continued):

Mooresville Savings must maintain liquidity in the form of cash, 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,
2003 was considerably in excess of such requirements. The Bank's liquidity has
increased from December 31, 2002 in order to fund the Bank's expected loan
growth. 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.

Impact of the Inflation and Changing Prices:

The financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating
results in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the
relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The assets and
liabilities of the Bank are primarily monetary in nature and changes in market
interest rates have a greater impact on the Bank's performance than do the
effects of inflation.


Item 3.  Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this report, the Corporation's
President/CEO and Controller/Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures as of a
date within 90 days of the filing of the report and have concluded that the
Corporation's disclosure controls and procedures are suitable and effective for
the Corporation, taking into consideration the size and nature of the
Corporation's business and operations. There were no significant changes in the
internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
controls subsequent to the date of evaluation, including any corrective actions
with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

                  CERTIFICATION OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER



I, George W. Brawley, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Coddle Creek
Financial Corp. (the "registrant");

2. Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;

4. The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant, and we have;

     (a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
          material information relating to the registrant, is made known to us
          by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
          which this quarterly report is being prepared;

     (b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
         procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this
         quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

     (c)  presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on our
          evaluation as of the Evaluation Date.

5. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of
the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
function);

     (a)  all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
          controls which could adversely affect the registrant's ability to
          record, process, summarize and report financial data and have
          identified for the registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in

I, Billy R. Williams, certify that:

1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Coddle Creek
Financial Corp. (the "registrant");

2. Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
report;

3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;

4. The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant, and we have;

     (a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
          material information relating to the registrant, is made known to us
          by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
          which this quarterly report is being prepared;

     (b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
         procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this
         quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

     (c)  presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on our
          evaluation as of the Evaluation Date.

5. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on our
most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of
the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent
function);

     (a)  all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
          controls which could adversely affect the registrant's ability to
          record, process, summarize and report financial data and have
          identified for the registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in
          internal controls; and

     (b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
          controls; and

6. The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this
quarterly report whether or not there were significant changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
