NOTES TO CONDENSED 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. (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 condensed consolidated financial statements (except
for the condensed consolidated statement of financial condition at September 30,
1997, which has been taken from the audited financial statements at that date)
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. The
results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected
for the year ended September 30, 1998. The accounting policies followed are as
set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the
1997 annual report 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 employee stock ownership plan which have not been allocated to
participant accounts are not assumed to be outstanding. MRP restricted stock
awards for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 1998 have not been
included since they are anti-dilutive. The following are reconciliations of the
amounts used in the per share calculations:

$64.4 million at September 30, 1997. Net loans receivable decreased by $2.4
million to $44.1 million at June 30, 1998 from $46.5 million at September 30,
1997. Cash and cash equivalents, including federal funds sold, decreased by
$519,000 to $6.2 million at June 30, 1998 from $6.8 million at September 30,
1997. Investment securities decreased by $526,000 to $9.5 million at June 30,
1998 from $10.0 million at September 30, 1997. During the nine months ended June
30, 1998, investment securities totaling $5.1 million were sold in order to pay
off the Company's note payable described below, $1.5 million of securities were
called, $5.8 million of securities were purchased, and the fair value of the
securities available for sale portfolio increased by $326,000. Deposits
increased by $1.7 million to $44.8 million at June 30, 1998 from $43.1 million
at September 30, 1997. The Company repaid the $5.5 million note payable which
was incurred in September of 1997, thus eliminating the Company's external debt.
Retained earnings increased by $185,000 during the current period to $9.7
million at June 30, 1998, which is attributable to the Company's earnings of
$443,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, less cash dividends declared
of $257,000.

At June 30, 1998, the Company's capital amounted to $15.2 million, which as a
percentage of total consolidated assets was 24.9%, 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
nonperforming at June 30, 1998. The Bank's nonperforming loans as a percentage
of total loans outstanding was .00% and .06% at June 30, 1998 and September 30,
1997, respectively. During the nine month period ended June 30, 1998, the Bank's
level of nonperforming loans has remained consistently low in relation to prior
periods and total loans outstanding, and the Bank has not incurred any loan
charge-offs during the nine months ended June 30, 1998. As a result, and based
on management's analysis of the adequacy of its allowances, only $6,000 was
provided to the loan loss allowance during the nine month period ended June 30,
1998.

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

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

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30,
1998 and 1997:

General. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $139,000
compared to $260,000 earned during the same quarter in 1997. Net income for the
nine months ended June 30, 1998 was $443,000 compared to $859,000 earned during
the same period in 1997. As discussed below, the decrease in net income was
primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income for the three and
nine month periods ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997,
due to a lower level of loans and investment securities and moderate deposit
growth. In October 1997, the Company liquidated certain investment securities
and utilized the cash to repay a $5.5 million note payable incurred in September
1997 due to a $6.00 per share return of capital dividend.

Interest income. Interest income decreased by $158,000 from $1.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.1 million for the three months ended June
30, 1998. Interest income decreased by $374,000 from $3.8 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1997 to $3.5 million for the nine months ended June 30,
1998. The decrease was attributable to a lower level of interest-earning assets,
primarily loans receivable and investment securities, which were outstanding
during the first three quarters of this year in comparison to the same three
quarters a year earlier. Interest-earning assets amounted to $59.3 million at
June 30, 1998 as compared to $67.6 million at June 30, 1997. The Company
utilized investment securities as the funding source to pay a $11.5 million
return of capital dividend. Approximately 97% of the Company's assets were
interest-earning at June 30, 1998, and approximately 74% of such
interest-earning assets were held in the form of loans receivable.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $28,000 from $501,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 to $529,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. Interest expense increased by $149,000 from $1.5 million for the nine
months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.6 million for the nine months ended June 30,
1998. The increase was attributable to a higher level of interest-bearing
liabilities outstanding during the first three quarters of this year in
comparison to the same three quarters a year earlier, while the cost of funds
remained fairly stable.

Net interest income. Net interest income decreased by $185,000 from $795,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $610,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1998. Net interest income decreased by $523,000 from $2.4 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.9 million for the nine months ended June
30, 1998. This decrease resulted from the combination of an decrease in the
volume of interest-earning assets and a increase in the volume of
interest-bearing liabilities between the periods.

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

Provision for loan losses. The Bank added $6,000 in loan loss provisions during
the first and second quarters of fiscal year 1997 and during the first quarter
of fiscal year 1998. 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 loan loss provisions were relatively minor during the three and nine
month periods ended June 31, 1997 and 1998 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 June 30, 1998, the Bank's level of general valuation allowances for loan
losses amounted to $255,000, which management believes is adequate to absorb
potential losses in its loan portfolio.

Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense decreased by $221,000 to $404,000 for
the three month period ended June 30, 1998 from $625,000 for the comparable
quarter in 1997, and by $89,000 to $1.2 million for the nine month period ended
June 30, 1998 from $1.3 million for the comparable period in 1997. The decrease
is principally as a result of an increase in compensation expense resulting from
the establishment of the Bank's Management Recognition Plan ("MRP") during the
three months ended June 30, 1997, as discussed below. Other categories of
noninterest expense fluctuated by insignificant amounts between the periods.

On April 17, 1997, the Company's stockholders approved the Bank's "MRP" which
reserved for issuance 73,600 shares of common stock to all officers, directors,
and employees at the time of adoption. The restricted common stock under the MRP
vests at the rate of 20% on the date of grant and 20% annually thereafter. The
expense associated with the MRP amounted to $268,000 for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 1997, and to $58,000 and $173,000 for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, and is included in compensation
expense on the consolidated statement of income.

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

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

One form of liquidity, which is made up of cash and cash equivalents and federal
funds sold, decreased by $519,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 1998. As
reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows, such decrease occurred as
a result of the repayment of debt, offset by deposit growth, a decrease in loans
receivable and sales of investment securities.

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 June 30, 1998 was considerable 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.

Year 2000:

At the turn of the century, computer-based information systems will be faced
with the problems potentially affecting hardware, software, networks, processing
platforms, as well as customer and vendor interdependencies. The Company has
established a committee and is in the process of assessing the effect of Year
2000 on the Bank's operating plans and systems. The Company is developing a plan
for identifying, renovating, testing and implementing its systems for Year 2000
processing and internal control requirements. Management's estimate of the cost
for becoming Year 2000 compliant to be approximately $160,000.
