CODDLE CREEK FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    Nature of Business


On December 30, 1997, pursuant to a Plan of Conversion which was approved by it
members and regulators, Mooresville Savings Bank, Inc., SSB (the "Bank" or
"Mooresville Savings Bank") 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.  The closing of the offering occurred on
December 30, 1997 and resulted in the issuance of 674,475 shares of common stock
at a price of $50.00 per share, for proceeds of $32,494,000 (net of $1,230,000
in conversion costs).  The Company transferred $14,134,000 of the net proceeds
to Mooresville Savings for the purchase of all of the common stock of the Bank.
The Company then loaned the ESOP trust $4,216,000 to purchase 53,958 shares of
common stock in the open market.

Mooresville 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, 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 latest 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.

In connection with the Conversion, the Bank has agreed with the FDIC that,
within the first three years after completion of the Conversion, neither the
Company nor the Bank will pay any taxable dividend or make any taxable
distribution in excess of their current and retained earnings.  The Company and
the Bank have agreed to notify the FDIC before making a return of capital during
the first three years following the Conversion.

Note 1.     Nature of Business (Continued)


The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on or repurchase any of its
common stock if its net worth would there by be reduced below either the
aggregate amount then required for the liquidation account or the minimum
regulatory capital requirements imposed by federal and state regulations.  For a
period of five years after its Conversion, the Bank must obtain written approval
from the Administrator of the North Carolina Savings Institutions Division
before declaring or paying a cash dividend on its common stock in an amount  in
excess of one-half of the greater of (i) the Bank's net income for the most
recent fiscal year end, or (ii) the average of the Bank's net income after
dividends for the most recent year end and  not more than two of the immediately
preceding fiscal year ends.

2.    Basis of Presentation


The accompanying unaudited financial statements (except for the statement of
financial condition at December 31, 1998, which is from 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-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, except for
the implementation of the Management Recognition Plan discussed in Note 5)
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 and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 1999.  The accounting policies followed are as set forth
in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements in the 1998 annual
report of the Company.

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.  Stock options are not included in the calculations because they
are anti-dilutive.

4.    Dividends Declared


On June 15, 1999, the Board of Directors of Coddle Creek Financial Corp.
declared a dividend of $.53 per share for stockholders of record as of June 30,
1999 and payable on July 15, 1999.  The dividends declared were accrued and
reported as other liabilities in the June 30, 1999 condensed consolidated
statement of financial condition.

5.    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 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.

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 from authorized but unissued common stock to fund the MRP on January 26,
1999.  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.

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

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998:

At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 total assets amounted to $138.2 million
and $135.8 million, respectively.  Loans receivable, net, increased from $110.6
million at December 31, 1998 to $117.5 million at June 30, 1999, a $6.9 million
increase.  Savings deposits increased $1.1 million from $87.6 million at
December 31, 1998 to $88.7 million at June 30, 1999.  Investment securities
decreased $6.7 million from $12.7 million at December 31, 1998 to $6.0 million
at June 30, 1999 due to the maturity of securities during the first six months
of 1999.  Stockholders' equity increased by $634,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999.  This increase is due to $579,000 that was recorded to additional
paid-in capital that is associated with the implementation of the MRP and net
income of $642,000 offset by $505,000 of dividends declared.

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 $869,000 of loans outstanding which were
delinquent more than 90 days at June 30, 1999, compared to $1.4 million at
December 31, 1998.  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 was increased by $4,000 to $899,000 at June 30, 1999
from $895,000 at December 31, 1998.  Management believes the allowance to be
adequate to absorb any future losses in the portfolio.

At June 30, 1999, the Company's capital amounted to $45.8 million, which as a
percentage of total consolidated assets was 33.1%, and was considerably in
excess of the regulatory capital requirements at such date.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
and 1998:

General.  Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 was
$442,000 and $642,000 respectively or $1,000 and $318,000 less than the $441,000
and $960,000 earned during the same periods in 1998.  The decrease in earnings
was primarily attributable to the implementation of the MRP which resulted in
additional expense of $579,000 during the first six months of 1999.

Interest income.  Interest income remained stable at $2.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999.  Interest income decreased by $193,000 from
$5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $5.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.  The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the
average balance of investment securities and interest-earning deposits during
the first six months of 1999 as compared to 1998.  Approximately 97% of the
Bank's assets were interest-earning at June 30, 1999, and approximately 88% of
such interest-earning assets were held in the form of loans receivable.

Interest Expense.   Interest expense decreased by $39,000 from $1.0 million
during the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $982,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999.   Interest expense decreased by $127,000 from $2.1 million
during the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $2.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999.  The decrease is due to a lower average yield on interest-
bearing liabilities outstanding during the first six months of 1999 in
comparison to the same period a year earlier.

Net interest income.  Net interest income increased by $29,000 from $1,477,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $1,506,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999.  Net interest income decreased by $66,000 from $3.1 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $3.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999.  The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 1999 is due to the
maturity of $2.0 million of investment securities during the first quarter of 19
99.

Provision for loan losses.  The Bank added $-0- and $120,000 in loan loss
provisions during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
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 June 30, 1999, the
Bank's level of general valuation allowances for loan losses amounted to
$899,000, which management believes is adequate to absorb potential losses in
its loan portfolio.

Noninterest expense.  Noninterest expense increased from $778,000 to $905,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.  Noninterest
expense increased from $1.5 million to $2.2 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.  Compensation expense included $579,000 of
MRP expense for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The restricted common stock
under the MRP vests 25% immediately at the date of grant and 25% annually
beginning on the one year anniversary of the date of grant.  All other
categories of noninterest expense fluctuated by insignificant amounts between
the periods.

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.

Mooresville Savings Bank 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 has decreased from
December 31, 1998 as investment securities that matured were used to fund loan
growth.  However, the Bank's liquidity ratio at June 30, 1999 was considerably
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.

Impact of the 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 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.

Impact of the Year 2000:

A lot of attention has been given to the impact that the year 2000 date change
will have on businesses, utilities and other organizations that rely on
computerized systems to help run their operations.  The year 2000 date change
can affect any system that uses computer software or computer chips including
automated equipment and machinery. For example, many  computer programs and
computer chips store the calendar year portion of the date as two digits rather
than four digits.  These software programs and chips record the year 1999 as
"99". This approach works until the year 2000 when the "00" may be interpreted
as the year 1900 instead of the year 2000.  Banks use computer systems to
perform financial calculations, transfer funds, record deposits and loan
payments, run security systems and vaults and a myriad of other functions.
Because banks rely heavily on their computer systems, the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") has placed significant emphasis on
the problems surrounding the year 2000 issues and has required financial
institutions to document the assessment, testing and corrections made to ready
their computer systems and programs for the year 2000 date change.  The FFIEC
has strict regulations, guidelines, and milestones in place that each FDIC
insured financial institution must follow in order to remain operational.  The
Company's board of directors has remained informed of the Company's position and
progress in its year 2000 project.

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

The Company's year 2000 project remains on schedule according to the guidelines
set forth by the FFIEC. The Company's most critical external exposure to year
2000 system problems is with its data processing provider, Fiserv.  Fiserv
renovated its systems in June 1998 and is currently testing its remediation
efforts.  Fiserv planned to have all of its systems year 2000 compliant by
December 1998.  Fiserv has responded to the Company that renovation of its
program is virtually complete.  In the event that Fiserv is unable to make the
necessary corrections to its programs to accommodate the year 2000, the Company
will convert its data to one of the other Fiserv programs that is able to
operate in the 2000 environment.  In addition, the Company has contacted its
major customers and vendors to inquire about their progress in addressing the
year 2000 problem and does not believe that the problems of such customers and
vendors will have a material adverse effect on the Company or its operations.
The Company will continue to monitor the progress of these parties in addressing
the year 2000 problem as the new millennium approaches.  Management estimates
the cost to replace the computer hardware and software with year 2000 compliant
equipment to be approximately $150,000.

The year 2000 problems can affect the Company's operation in a number of ways
but the mission critical issue is maintaining customers' account information
including tracking deposits, interest accruals and loan payments.  The Company
is dependent upon electricity, telephone lines, computer hardware and Fiserv's
data processing capability.

The Company is not aware of any major year 2000 problems that exist with its
electric utility and phone company.  The Company is encouraged that both
companies will have all material year 2000 problems addressed well before
December 31, 1999.  However, the Company believes that a temporary
unavailability of electrical power will not hinder safe and secure operations.
The Company will rely on manual operations and all of the necessary supplies
will be stored on hand by September 1, 1999 at each location.  To prevent
difficulties in the event there is an unforeseen interruption in either
telephone or electrical service when the year changes, the Company will print
hard copies of all account information.  In addition, the Company will download
all account information into programs on the Company's hardware that will allow
bank personnel to extract customer information without regard to outside
sources.
