SOUTH STREET FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1. Nature of Business
South Street Financial Corp., a North Carolina corporation (the "Company") is a
bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") under the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended (the "BHCA") and the savings bank holding company laws of North
Carolina. The Company serves as a holding company for Home Savings Bank of
Albemarle, Inc., S.S.B. (the "Bank"). The Company's office is located at 155
West South Street, Albemarle, North Carolina. The Company's activities consist
of managing its investment portfolio, holding the indebtedness outstanding from
the Home Savings Bank of Albemarle, Inc., SSB Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
"ESOP") and owning the Bank. The Company's principal sources of income are
earnings on its investments and interest payments received from the ESOP with
respect to the ESOP loan. In addition, the Company will receive any dividends,
which are declared and paid by the Bank on its capital stock.
The Bank was originally chartered in 1911. It has been a member of the Federal
Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system since 1954 and its deposits are federally insured
up to allowable limits. The Bank is engaged primarily in the business of
attracting retail deposits from the general public and using such deposits to
make mortgage loans secured by real estate. The Bank makes mortgage loans
secured by residential real property, including one-to-four family residential
real estate loans, home equity line of credit loans and other subordinate lien
loans, loans secured by improved nonresidential real property, loans secured by
undeveloped real property and construction loans. The Bank also makes a limited
number of loans which are not secured by real property, such as loans secured by
savings accounts. The Bank's primary source of revenue is interest income from
its lending activities. The Bank's other major sources of revenue are interest
and dividend income from investments and mortgage-backed securities, interest
income from its interest-bearing deposit balances in other depository
institutions and fee income from its lending and deposit activities. The major
expenses of the Bank are interest on deposits and noninterest expenses such as
compensation and fringe benefits, federal deposit insurance premiums, data
processing expenses and branch occupancy and related expenses.
Note 2. Basis of Presentation
On December 28, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company approved changing
its fiscal year from September 30 to December 31.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 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 the Bank. The results of operations for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000.
The accounting policies of the Company followed are as set forth in Note 1 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1999 Annual Report to the
Stockholders.

<PAGE>
Note 3. Earnings Per Share
The Company's basic earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999 are based on net income earned divided by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding from the beginning of the period to the end
of the period. Diluted earnings per share is adjusted for the conversion,
exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments, if they have a
dilutive effect. For purposes of this computation, the number of shares of
common stock purchased by the ESOP which have not been allocated to participant
accounts are not assumed to be outstanding.
Note 4. Dividends Declared
On June 19, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.10 a
share for shareholders of record as of June 30, 2000 and payable on July 18,
2000. In addition, on June 19, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Bank
declared an upstream dividend of $200,000 to the Company.
Note 5. Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank total $14,000,000 at June 30, 2000.
The advances bear interest at rates ranging from 6.30% to 6.83% and are due at
varying dates from August 24, 2000 to December 26, 2000.
Note 6. Stock Option Plan and the Bank's Management Recognition Plan
The Company's stockholders approved the Company's Stock Option Plan and the
Bank's Management Recognition Plan and Trust (the "MRP") on October 15, 1997.
The Stock Option Plan reserves for issuance up to 449,650 stock options to all
officers, directors, and employees 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. The
options awarded to employees vest at the rate of 25% annually beginning at the
date of grant. Options granted to non-employee directors vested immediately on
the date of grant. All options were granted in 1998 and expire in 2008. As
permitted under the generally accepted accounting principles, grants under the
plan will be accounted for following the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and
its related interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation cost will be
recognized on the grant date of any options.
The MRP reserved for issuance 179,860 shares of common stock to all officers,
directors, and employees. The Bank issued shares to fund the MRP in October of
1997. The restricted common stock under the MRP vests at the rate of 25%
annually beginning at the date of grant.

SOUTH STREET FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements consisting of
estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and
other business of the Company that are subject to various factors which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those estimates. Factors, which
could influence the estimates, include changes in general and local market
conditions, legislative and regulatory conditions and an adverse interest rate
environment.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999:
Total assets increased by $6.0 million or 3.3%, to $191.7 million at June 30,
2000 from $185.7 million at December 31, 1999. The increase is primarily due to
growth of the loan portfolio, funded by an increase in deposits and outside
borrowings.
Net loans receivable increased by $8.9 million or 6.7% to $142.7 million at June
30, 2000 from $133.8 million at December 31, 1999. Investment securities held
to maturity decreased $701,000 or 7.3%, to $8.8 million at June 30, 2000 from
$9.6 million at December 31, 1999. Additionally, investment securities
classified as available for sale decreased $1.9 million or 6.5%, to $26.5
million at June 30, 2000 from $28.4 million at December 31, 1999. The Bank
borrowed an additional $6.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank to fund loan
growth during the six months ended June 30, 2000. The Bank has guaranteed the
repayment of the ESOP's note payable to the Company, which it incurred on
October 2, 1996 in order to purchase 359,720 shares of stock in the Company.
The Company's note receivable from the ESOP totals $3.3 million at June 30,
2000, and is reported as a reduction of stockholders' equity. Retained earnings
decreased by $253,000 to $19.7 million at June 30, 2000, which is attributable
to the Company's dividends accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2000 in the
amount of $592,000, offset by $339,000 of net income. Additional paid-in
capital, deferred MRP and unearned compensation decreased by $1.2 million to
$8.8 million at June 30, 2000 from $10.0 million at December 31, 1999. The
decrease was primarily attributable to the repurchase of 228,200 shares of
outstanding common stock in the amount of $1.6 million.
As a North Carolina chartered stock savings bank, the Bank is required to meet
various capital standards established by federal and state banking agencies. At
June 30, 2000 the Company's stockholders' equity amounted to $24.7 million, or
12.9% of total assets and exceeds all regulatory capital requirements.
The Bank's level of nonperforming loans, defined as loans past due 90 days or
more was $143,000 and $331,000 at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
respectively. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the
Bank's level of nonperforming loans remained consistently low in relation to
prior periods and to total loans outstanding, and the Bank's charge-offs of
loans was minimal. Based on their analysis, management determined that no loan
loss provisions were necessary during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999.

<PAGE>
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2000
and 1999:
General. Net income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30,
2000 was $214,000 and $339,000, respectively or $154,000 and $246,000 more than
the $60,000 and $93,000 earned during the same period in 1999. As discussed
below, the increase in net income was primarily attributable to a increase in
net interest income caused by a higher level of interest-earning assets.
Interest income. Interest income increased by $348,000 from $3.1 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000. Total interest income increased by $509,000 from $6.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $6.7 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000. These increases were attributable to the increase in both volume
and interest rates earned on loans receivable.
Interest expense. Interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds increased by
$179,000 from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.9
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Interest expense on deposits
and borrowed funds increased by $272,000 from $3.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The
increase is primarily due to an increase in the total amount of short-term
borrowings in 2000 compared to 1999.
Net interest income. Net interest income increased by $169,000 from $1.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000. Net interest income increased by $237,000 from $2.7
million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. This increase resulted from the factors discussed
above.
Provision for loan losses. There were no provisions for loan losses charged to
income during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. 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 decision to increase or decrease the provision
and resulting allowances is based upon an evaluation of both 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, and the Bank's loan charge-offs
during the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 were minimal.
At June 30, 2000, the Bank's level of general valuation allowances for loan
losses amounted to $429,000, which management believes is adequate to absorb
potential losses in its loan portfolio.

Noninterest income. Noninterest income was $37,000 and $28,000 for the three
month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $18,000 and
$60,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
During 2000, the Company realized a gain of $28,000 from the sale of real estate
held for investment and a net loss of $84,000 from the sale of investment
securities.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense remained stable between the three
month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and decreased by $158,000 from $2.6
million for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 to $2.4 million for the six
month period ended June 30, 2000. The decrease is principally due to a
reduction in compensation expense.
As a part of the Bank's conversion to stock form (the "Conversion"), the Bank
established an ESOP that acquired a total of 359,720 shares of the stock offered
in the Conversion with funds provided in the form of a loan from the Company.
The loan is expected to be repaid over a fifteen-year period with funds provided
by the Bank sufficient to amortize the debt. The ESOP purchased 168,488
additional shares with proceeds received from the return of capital dividend
paid by the Company in 1998. The expense associated with the ESOP is reported
in accordance with SOP 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership
Plans.
The MRP reserved for issuance up to 179,860 shares of common stock to all
officers, directors and employees on the adoption date of October 15, 1997. The
Bank issued shares to fund the MRP in October of 1997. The restricted common
stock under the MRP vests at the rate of 25% annually. The expense recorded in
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 represents six months accrual of the
yearly 25% vesting amount.
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-earning deposits.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2000, cash and cash equivalents, a
significant source of liquidity, decreased by $603,000. This decrease is due to
funding the increasing levels of loans receivable. Cash flow resulting from
internal operating activities provided for an increase of $864,000 in cash
during the six month period ended June 30, 2000. Financing activities provided
an additional $5.0 million in cash, primarily from FHLB advances. Investing
activities, primarily funding of loan originations offset by proceeds from the
sale of investments provided for a decrease of $6.4 million.
As a state chartered stock savings bank, the Bank must meet certain liquidity
requirements that are established by the NC Administrator of the Savings
Institutions Division. The Bank's liquidity ratio at June 30, 2000, as computed
under such regulations, was considerably in excess of such requirements. Given
its excess liquidity and its ability to borrow from the FHLB of Atlanta, the
Bank believes that it will have sufficient funds available to meet anticipated
future loan commitments, unexpected deposit withdrawals, or other cash
requirements.
The FDIC requires the Bank to have a minimum leverage ratio of Tier I Capital
(principally consisting of retained earnings and any common stockholders'
equity, less any intangible assets) to all assets of at least 3%, provided that
it receives the highest rating during the examination process. For institutions
that receive less than the highest rating, the Tier I capital requirement is 1%
to 2% above the stated minimum. The FDIC also requires the Bank to have a ratio
of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%, of which at least 4% must be in
the form of Tier I capital. The Administrator requires a net worth equal to at
least 5% of total assets. The Bank complied with all of the capital
requirements of both the FDIC and the Administrator at June 30, 2000.
Inflation and Changing Prices:
The financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 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 Company are
primarily monetary in nature and changes in market interest rates have a greater
impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of inflation.
Year 2000:
The Company is pleased to report that no significant Year 2000 difficulties have
been encountered during the first six months of 2000.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk. One of the principal risks for the Bank is interest rate
risk. One of the Bank's principal financial objectives is to achieve long-term
profitability while reducing its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.
Historically, the Bank has been a mortgage lender so the loan portfolio
continues to have a large number of mortgage loans with maturities that are
considerably longer than for the deposits that fund those loans. Thus, an
upward movement in the market rate of interest would result in the cost of
deposits increasing at a faster rate than the rate on loans. The principal
strategy of the Bank over the past several years has been to emphasize the
investment of excess cash in short or intermediate term interest-earning assets
and the solicitation of transaction deposits accounts which are less sensitive
to changes in interest rates and can be repriced rapidly. The Company has not
experienced any substantial changes in its portfolio risk during the six month
period ended June 30, 2000. See disclosures in the Company's September 30, 1999
Annual Report and Form 10-K.
During 1998, the Bank formed a wholly owned subsidiary, South Street Development
Corporation ("SSDC") with a $1.8 million cash investment. SSDC then invested
$10,000 for a 50% interest in Park Ridge Associates, LLC ("Park Ridge"). An
outside individual owns the other 50% interest in Park Ridge. In June of 1998,
Park Ridge Associates acquired 25.6 acres of prime real estate located within
the city limits of Albemarle, North Carolina. The joint venture was created to
acquire and develop the property into a premier residential subdivision,
consisting of 30 building lots. As of June 30, 2000, the development of the
infrastructure is complete and some of the properties have been sold, resulting
in a gain of $28,000 to the Company for the six months period then ended.
