               NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

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

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

     Anson 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 Anson Savings Bank, Inc. (the "Bank" or "Anson Savings Bank") in
     connection with the Bank's conversion from a state chartered savings bank
     to a state chartered stock savings bank, pursuant to its amended and
     restated Plan of Conversion. The Company was organized in 1998 to acquire
     all of the common stock of Anson Savings Bank, S.S.B. upon its conversion
     to stock form and the Company has no operations and conducts no business
     other than owning the Bank and investing its portion of the net proceeds
     received in 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 Anson County in North Carolina.

     Anson 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, 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, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses.


NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements (except for the
     condensed consolidated statement of financial condition at June 30, 1999,
     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 accounting
     policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial
     Statements in the 1998 annual report of the Company.


NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Basic earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and
     1999 is based on unaudited net income earned divided by the weighted
     average number of shares outstanding during the period. During the periods
     reported there were no dilutive securities outstanding, therefore, basic
     and diluted earnings per share are the same.


NOTE 4 - SALE OF THE COMPANY

     On August 3, 1999, the Company and Uwharrie Capital Corporation (Uwharrie)
     announced that Uwharrie will acquire Anson Bancorp, Inc., which is the
     holding company for Anson Savings Bank, in a cash transaction. The parties'
     agreement provides for each share of Anson Bancorp's common stock to be
     exchanged for $17.30 in cash.

     This transaction is contingent upon receiving approval from regulatory
     authorities and from Anson Bancorp's stockholders. The Company's
     stockholders will consider the acquisition proposal at their annual meeting
     scheduled for November 30, 1999. It is anticipated that the transaction
     will be completed no later than January 31, 2000.

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

NOTE 5 - CURTAILMENT OF DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN

     On August 3, 1999, the Board of Directors elected to cease future benefit
     accruals under the Company's defined benefit plan. The curtailment will be
     performed in accordance with ERISA standards and all participants will be
     100% vested. It is estimated that the cost to curtail the plan will be
     approximately $200,000 and this charge will effect the earnings of the
     Company during the fiscal year 2000. The Company intends to terminate the
     plan in the event the Uwharrie Capital acquisition is consummated.


NOTE 6 - YEAR 2000

     The "Year 2000" issue confronting the Company and its customers, suppliers,
     customers' suppliers and competitors centers on the potential inability of
     computer systems to recognize the Year 2000. If not adequately addressed,
     the Year 2000 issue could result in a significant adverse impact on
     products, services and the competitive condition of the Company.

     Financial institution regulators have recently increased their focus on
     Year 2000 compliance issues, issuing guidance concerning the
     responsibilities of senior management and directors. The Federal Financial
     Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") has issued several interagency
     statements on Year 2000 Project Management Awareness. These statements
     require financial institutions to examine the Year 2000 implications of
     reliance on vendors, data exchange and potential impact on customers,
     suppliers and borrowers. These statements also require each federally
     regulated financial institution to survey its exposure, measure its risk
     and prepare a plan in order to solve the Year 2000 issue. In addition, the
     federal banking regulators have issued safety and soundness guidelines to
     be followed by insured depository institutions, such as the Bank, to assure
     resolution of any Year 2000 problems. The federal banking agencies have
     asserted that Year 2000 testing and certification is a key safety and
     soundness issue in conjunction with regulatory exams, and thus an
     institution's failure to address appropriately the Year 2000 issue could
     result in supervisory action, including such enforcement actions as the
     reduction of the institution's supervisory ratings, the denial of
     applications for approval of a merger or acquisition, or the imposition of
     civil money penalties.

     In order to address the Year 2000 issue and to minimize its potential
     adverse impact, the Company has undertaken a substantial multi-phased
     effort to identify areas that will be affected by the Year 2000, assess
     their potential impact on operations, monitor the progress of its
     third-party software vendors in addressing the matter, test changes
     provided by these vendors, and develop contingency plans for any critical
     systems. The plan is divided into the five phases: (1) awareness, (2)
     assessment, (3) renovation, (4) validation, and (5) implementation.

     The Company has substantially completed the first four phases of the plan
     and has made significant progress in the final phase. The Company
     outsources its data processing operations to a service provider. Year 2000
     compliance is being closely coordinated with that of the service provider.
     The Company has in place a Detailed Contingency Plan should any business
     disruption occur.

     Further, the Company is undertaking efforts to ensure that significant
     vendor and customer relationships are or will be Year 2000 compliant. There
     can be no guarantee that the systems of other entities on which the Company
     either directly or indirectly relies will be timely converted, or that a
     failure to convert by another entity, or a conversion that is incompatible
     with the Company's systems, would not have a material adverse effect on the
     Company in future periods.

     The Company has incurred Year 2000 compliance costs of approximately
     $20,000, all of which have been charged to operations and anticipates
     future costs to be immaterial. In addition to the estimated costs of its
     Year 2000 compliance, the Company has recently made substantial investments
     in technology in its efforts to improve customer services and to
     efficiently manage its product and service delivery systems.

NOTE 7 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     On July 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). This
     statement provides standards for reporting comprehensive income.
     Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity (net assets) during
     a period from non-owner sources. The purpose of reporting comprehensive
     income is to report a measure of all changes in equity that result from
     recognized transactions and other economic events of the period other than
     transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Prior to the issuance
     of SFAS 130, some of those changes in equity were displayed in a statement
     that reports the results of operations, while others were included directly
     in balances within a separate component of equity in a statement of
     financial position. This statement does not change or modify the reporting
     or display in the statement of operations.

     Comprehensive income for the Company includes the Company's net income and
     unrealized gains on securities available for sale (other comprehensive
     income). Total comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented
     amounted to $(29,938) and $16,330 for the three months ended September 30,
     1999 and 1998, respectively.

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

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

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND JUNE 30, 1999

Total assets amounted to $25.13 million at September 30, 1999, compared to
$24.96 million at June 30, 1999. The increase from June 30, 1999 to September
30, 1999 is primarily attributed to the increase in deposits. Accounts payable
and accrued expense have decreased approximately $30,000 from June 30, 1999 to
September 30, 1999. This decrease is due primarily to the reduction of accrued
income taxes.

The principal category of earnings assets is loans receivable which amounted to
$11.80 million and $12.04 million at September 30, 1999 and June 30, 1999,
respectively. Loan originations for the three months ended September 30, 1999
totaled $647,000 and were funded by loan principal repayments of $882,000 as the
loan portfolio decreased by approximately $235,000. Loan originations for the
year ended June 30, 1999 totaled $3.72 million and principal repayments for 1999
totaled $3.20 million. The Bank maintains underwriting and credit standards
designed to maintain the quality of the loan portfolio. Nonperforming loans at
September 30, 1999 and June 30, 1999 totaled $174,000 and $178,000,
respectively, and were 1.47% and 1.48% of total loans, respectively.

In addition to loans, the Company invests in U.S. Treasury and Government agency
securities. Management does not engage in the practice of trading securities,
rather, the Company's investment portfolio consists primarily of investments
designated and held to maturity. Investment securities, including
interest-bearing deposits and FHLB stock, at September 30, 1999 and June 30,
1999, totaled $12.47 million and $12.09 million, respectively. The increase in
investments and loans is primarily attributed to the increase in current period
income.

The Bank has experienced some increase in savings deposits. At September 30,
1999, Anson's deposits increased approximately $204,000 to $15.46 million
compared to $15.26 million at June 30, 1999. Anson has priced its deposits in a
fashion to be at or near the top of the market because of its dependence on the
local market for funds availability.

The Company's equity, which consists entirely of retained earnings, capital
stock and unrealized gains on securities available for sale, net of tax,
amounted to $9.51 million and $9.50 million at September 30, 1999 and June 30,
1999, respectively. The Bank has classified a portion of its investments as
available for sale which requires reporting such investments at fair market
value with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, shown as a separate component
of equity. The equity component for net unrealized gains is shown as accumulated
comprehensive income and at September 30, 1999 and June 30, 1999 amounted to
$255,000 and $285,000, respectively.


COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1999 AND 1998

     Net Income. The Company's net income for the three months ended September
         30, 1999 and 1998 was $32,367 and $50,210, respectively. The decrease
         in net income was primarily due to reduced interest income and expenses
         related to the pending sale of the Company.

     Net Interest Income. Net interest income has decreased by 4% to $212,000
         for the three months ended September 30, 1999 from $220,000 for the
         three months ended September 30, 1998. This decrease is due primarily
         to a decrease in investment income from interest-bearing deposits and
         investment securities.

     Noninterest Income. Noninterest income consists primarily of fees related
         to safe deposit boxes and other miscellaneous income and amounted to
         $1,000 and $2,300 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
         1998, respectively.

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

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

     Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense consisted primarily of operating
         expenses for compensation and employee benefits, occupancy, legal and
         professional fees, federal deposit insurance premiums, data processing
         charges and other operating expenses. Noninterest expense increased to
         $175,000 from $163,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999
         and 1998, respectively. This increase is primarily due to the costs
         associated with the pending sale of the Company. The Bank anticipates
         that its noninterest expense may continue to increase in the future
         because of costs associated with compensation and with costs associated
         with the pending sale of the Company.

     Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $6,000 and $9,000 for the three month
         periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
         fluctuations were primarily attributable to corresponding fluctuations
         in income before income taxes.


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 the
     sale or maturity of investments, the ability to raise equity capital, or
     maintenance of shorter-term interest-bearing deposits.

     As a state chartered stock savings bank, Anson 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 September 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, deposit withdrawals and other cash requirements.


YEAR 2000

     The "Year 2000" issue confronting the Company and its customers, suppliers,
     customers' suppliers and competitors centers on the potential inability of
     computer systems to recognize the Year 2000. If not adequately addressed,
     the Year 2000 issue could result in a significant adverse impact on
     products, services and the competitive condition of the Company.

     Financial institution regulators have recently increased their focus on
     Year 2000 compliance issues, issuing guidance concerning the
     responsibilities of senior management and directors. The Federal Financial
     Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") has issued several interagency

     require financial institutions to examine the Year 2000 implications of
     reliance on vendors, data exchange and potential impact on customers,

     reduction of the institution's supervisory ratings, the denial of
     applications for approval of a merger or acquisition, or the imposition of
     civil money penalties.
