ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
- ------ ------------
Carolina Fincorp, Inc., the newly organized parent holding company for
Richmond Savings Bank, Inc., SSB, announced that during the fiscal quarter
ending September 30, 1996, Richmond Savings incurred a net loss of $194,000, as
compared to a net income of $152,000 for the same period in 1995. The net
loss for the quarter ending September 30, 1996 resulted from a special insurance
assessment of $519,000 which was imposed on SAIF-insured institutions by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to capitalize the SAIF insurance fund. Net
of an income tax benefit of $176,000, this special assessment decreased earnings
by $343,000 during the quarter ending September 30, 1996. If Richmond Savings
had not incurred the SAIF special assessment, its net income during the quarter
ending September 30, 1996 would have been $149,000.
Richmond Savings completed its conversion from a mutual to a stock
institution on November 22, 1996, and, in connection with such conversion,
Carolina Fincorp, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding stock of the savings
bank. The common stock of Carolina Fincorp, Inc. is listed for quotation on the
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "CFNC."
