NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Note 1.  Unaudited Financial Statements


The unaudited financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring accruals, which are in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial position as of June 30, 1996 and the
results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995.  The results for the nine month periods are not necessarily indicative of
the operating results of Home Savings Bank of Albemarle, S.S.B. (the "Bank") for
the entire year.


Note 2.  Commitments


Effective September 30, 1996, the Bank incurred a liability as a result of
recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund as mandated by
Congress.  This recapitalization requires a special assessment of 65.7 basis
points for insured deposits as of March 31, 1995.  The amount of the liability
to be accrued is approximately $800,000.


Note 3.  Plan of Conversion


On July 19, 1996 the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted an Amended and
Restated Plan of Conversion (the "Plan") under which the Bank would convert from
a North Carolina chartered mutual savings bank to a North Carolina chartered
stock savings bank and would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of South Street
Financial Corp., a holding company formed in connection with the conversion (the
"Holding Company"). The Holding Company would issue common stock to be sold in
the conversion and use the net proceeds to purchase the common stock of the
Bank. The Plan has received approval from regulatory authorities and the members
of the Bank at a special meeting of members held on September 17, 1996.

Effective October 2, 1996, the Holding Company sold 4,496,500 shares of common
stock at a price of $10.00 per share for proceeds of $43,738,000, net of
approximately $1,227,000 of offering expenses.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Recent Developments


  Total assets of the Bank increased by $10.0 million from September 30, 1995,
and totaled $169.8 million at June 30, 1996.  Net loans receivable decreased by
$859,000 or 0.8% to $107.7 million at June 30, 1996 from $108.6 million at
September 30, 1995, primarily because loan demand declined during 1996 and the
Bank lowered rates on 10- and 15-year loans to become more competitive in the
marketplace to maintain market share.  Deposits increased by $9.1 million to
$146.8 million at June 30, 1996 from $137.6 million at September 30, 1995 due to
the Bank offering slightly higher rates than competitors to attract additional
funds.  Total investments increased by $9.5 million, or 23.2%, to $50.4 million
outstanding at June 30, 1996 from $40.9 million at September 30, 1995.  The Bank
invested the funds generated from deposit inflow primarily into U.S. Government
obligations.  The Bank had no borrowings outstanding during or at the end of the
three-month period ended June 30, 1996.  Equity increased by $501,000 to $20.9
million at June 30, 1996, which is attributable to the Bank's earnings of
$601,000 offset by unrealized (loss) on securities available for sale, net of
tax, totaling $100,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 1996.

  At June 30, 1996 the Bank's capital, including the equity component of
unrealized (loss), net of tax on certain "available for sale" securities,
amounted to $20.9 million.  The Bank's capital as a percentage of assets was
12.3% at June 30, 1996 and was considerably in excess of the regulatory capital
requirement at such date.

  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 $46,000 loans outstanding which were delinquent
more than 90 days at June 30, 1996 compared to $51,000 at June 30, 1995.
Management considers the loan loss allowance of $428,000 to be adequate to
absorb any future losses in the portfolio.  As a result, no provisions to
increase the Bank's loan loss allowance were made during the three months ended
June 30, 1996.

  Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $302,000 or $99,000
less than the $401,000 earned during the same quarter in 1995.  Net interest
income decreased primarily as a result of a larger interest rate spread in 1995.
Net interest income amounted to $1.28 million for the quarter ended June 30,
1996 as compared with $1.41 million for the same quarter in 1995.  The Bank's
interest rate spread for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was 2.40%, compared to
3.12% for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The Bank's interest rate spread
decreased primarily because the Bank's deposits were more interest rate
sensitive than its interest-earning assets and overall market rates were higher
in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same quarter in 1995.
There were no significant variations in noninterest income between the three-
month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

  Noninterest expense increased $110,000 to $832,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 compared to $722,000 for the same period ended June 30, 1995.
Compensation increased $70,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared
to the same period ended June 30, 1995, primarily due to salary increases and
funding of retirement plans.  Other expenses increased $40,000 as occupancy
increased $11,000 and contributions increased $20,000 during the three-month
period ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period ended June 30, 1995.

  Effective September 30, 1996 the Bank incurred liability as a result of
recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund as mandated by
Congress.  This recapitalization requires a special assessment of 65.7 basis
points for insured deposits as of March 31, 1995.  The amount of the liability
is approximately $800,000.

           HOLDING COMPANY OF HOME SAVINGS BANK OF ALBEMARLE, S.S.B.
           ---------------------------------------------------------
                        COMPLETES INITIAL STOCK OFFERING
                        --------------------------------


     Albemarle, North Carolina - Mr. Carl M. Hill, President of Home Savings
Bank of Albemarle, S.S.B., based in Albemarle, North Carolina, announced today
that Home Savings has completed its conversion from a North Carolina-chartered
mutual savings bank to a North Carolina-chartered stock savings bank.  As part
of that conversion, Home Savings' holding company, South Street Financial Corp.,
issued 4,496,500 shares of its common stock, which sold for a price of $10.00
per share.

     The net proceeds of the offering are to be used for general corporate
purposes permitted by applicable law and regulations, including primarily the
origination of residential real estate loans and other investments.  Pending
such use, investments will be made in short-term investment securities such as
U.S. government and government agency securities and interest bearing deposits.

     On September 17, 1996, Home Savings' Amended and Restated Plan of Holding
Company Conversion was approved by Home Savings' depositor and borrower members
at a Special Meeting that was held at Home Savings.

     Mr. Hill indicated that the officers and Board of Directors of Home Savings
want to express their thanks for the response by customers to the stock offering
and that Home Savings looks forward to serving the needs of its customers as a
stock institution.

     Trident Securities, Inc., Raleigh, North Carolina managed the subscription
offering for Home Savings.
