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). 7 CODDLE CREEK FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 8 CODDLE CREEK FINANCIAL CORP.

Earnings per Share (Continued) The following are reconciliations of the amounts used in the per share calculations for 2003 and 2002: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 -------------------------------------------------------- Weighted Average Income Shares Per Share (Numerator) (Denominator) Amount -------------------------------------------------------- Basic and diluted EPS for 2003 $ 245,000 623,042 $ 0.39 Basic and diluted EPS for 2002 294,000 612,542 0.48 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. 9 CODDLE CREEK FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 10 CODDLE CREEK FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

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. 15 CODDLE CREEK FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY 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. 16 Part II.
