               Innes Street Financial Corporation and Subsidiary
             Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


1.  Organization

Innes Street Financial Corporation was incorporated on July 6, 1998 to serve as
the holding company for Citizens Bank, FSB (the "Bank") upon the Bank's
conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally
chartered stock savings bank ("Conversion"). Innes Street Financial Corporation
completed the Conversion on December 28, 1998 through the sale and issuance of
2,248,250 shares of common stock. Information set forth in this report relating
to periods prior to the Conversion, including financial statements and related
data relates to the Bank.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company
(Innes Street Financial Corporation and the Bank) have been prepared in
accordance with instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects
all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim period.

The results of operations for the nine and three months ended June 30, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
September 30, 1999. The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended September 30, 1998.

2.  Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share ("EPS") has been computed for the nine and three months ended
June 30, 1999 based upon weighted average common shares outstanding of
2,248,250. The Company's initial public offering closed on December 28, 1998,
therefore the EPS calculation is not applicable for the nine and three months
ended June 30, 1998. For purposes of earnings per share calculations for the
nine and three months ended June 30, 1999, shares issued on December 28, 1998
have been assumed to be outstanding as of October 1, 1998. The Company had no
dilutive securities outstanding during the nine and three months ended June 30,
1999, therefore diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS.

3.  New Accounting Standards

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This statement
establishes new standards for reporting information about operating segments in
annual and interim financial statements. The Company adopted this statement
effective October 1, 1998. Management has determined that as of June 30, 1999,
it operates in only one segment, Consumer Banking. Accordingly, the financial
results of the Company consist only of this one segment.

Also in June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes new accounting
and reporting requirements for derivative instruments, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities.
Currently, the Company has no derivative instruments that fall within the
definition of a derivative as defined by the statement. The Company does not
anticipate that the adoption of this statement on July 1, 2000 will
significantly impact the financial results of the Company.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations


Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998

Total assets were $203.8 million at June 30, 1999 and $190.1 million at
September 30, 1998, an increase of $13.7 million or 7.2%. The Company's issuance
of common stock in December 1998 accounted for approximately $20 million of this
increase. This increase was offset by a $6.0 million decrease in advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB).

Cash and cash equivalents increased from $13.3 million at September 30, 1998 to
$24.1 million at June 30, 1999. This increase of $10.8 million, or 81.2%, was
primarily due to the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, $12.0 million of FHLB bonds were
purchased with $7.0 million maturing in February 2000 and the remaining $5.0
million maturing in March 2001. These bonds were classified as available for
sale.

Mortgage-backed securities available for sale and mortgage-backed securities
held to maturity decreased from $8.8 million at September 30, 1998 to $5.7
million at June 30, 1999. This decrease of $3.1 million, or 35.2%, was due to
scheduled repayments.

Loans receivable, net declined from $159.2 million at September 30, 1998 to
$155.5 million at June 30, 1999, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 2.3%. This
decrease was primarily due to increased payoffs during the nine months ended
June 30, 1999. Also during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company sold
$5.3 million of loans for a gain of $55,316. At the end of the quarter ended
June 30, 1999, the Company had $8.1 million in commitments to originate loans
and an outstanding commitment of $2.0 million to purchase 15 year fixed rate
loans.

Premises and equipment, net increased from $1.2 million at September 30, 1998 to
$2.2 million at June 30, 1999, an increase of $1.0 million. This increase
resulted from the Company installing a local area network and the upgrading of
its computer hardware to accommodate the requirements of its service bureau's
software. The new hardware is also year 2000 compliant. Also, the Company
purchased $0.5 million in land for future expansion of its branch network during
the quarter ended March 31, 1999. At present, the Company has no immediate plans
to begin branch construction.

Effective on the IPO date, 121,978 shares of the Company's stock were purchased
by certain employees and directors in conjunction with the respective
nonqualified deferred compensation plans. The purchase price of the shares, and
corresponding liability, have been recorded in shareholders' equity. The result
was a decrease in other assets and other liabilities of $1,219,780 at June 30,
1999 compared to September 30, 1998.

Advances from the FHLB decreased $6.0 million from $10.0 million at September
30, 1998 to $4.0 million at June 30, 1999 in accordance with the debt agreement.

Paid in capital increased $21.6 million from September 30, 1998 due to the
Company issuing 2,248,250 shares of its common stock, no par value, at $10 per
share as part of the Conversion.

On July 2, 1999, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had adopted a
stock repurchase plan. Under the stock repurchase plan, the Company will be able
to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market at
appropriate times to allow it to enhance the value of its stock for its
shareholders and to manage its capital. The Board of Directors has authorized
the repurchase of up to 5% of the Company's common stock that is

                                       10
<PAGE>

issued and outstanding at the present time. The Board's action will allow
management to make repurchases, without further Board approval, when stock
repurchases are deemed prudent. Stock repurchases will be made in accordance
with Rule 10b-18(b) of the Regulations issued under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.

Unallocated ESOP stock increased by 100% to $1.7 million. This increase was a
result of the Company establishing an ESOP on behalf of its eligible employees.
Unallocated ESOP stock will continue to decrease in the future as the shares
acquired by the ESOP are allocated to its eligible employees.

Retained earnings increased by the net income earned during the nine months
ended June 30, 1999 of $1.3 million. During the nine months ended June 30, 1999
the Company paid dividends totaling $0.10 a share to stockholders. This dividend
resulted in a $0.2 million decrease in retained earnings.

Results of Operations

The earnings of the Company depend primarily on its level of net interest income
which is the difference between interest earned on the Company's interest-
earning assets and the interest paid on its interest-bearing liabilities. Net
interest income is a function of the Company's spread, which is the difference
between yield earned on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-
bearing liabilities, as well as a function of the average balance of interest
earning assets as compared to the average balance of interest-bearing
liabilities.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 was $1,259,159
compared to $968,445 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of
30.0%. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in net interest
income offset by an increase in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased from $3,491,102 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998 to $4,310,597 for the nine months ended June 30,
1999. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was the primary cause for
the improved net interest margin. Interest expense on borrowings decreased as a
result of a $9.3 million decrease in average borrowings outstanding during the
respective periods. This planned decrease was a result of the Company repaying
$9.0 million of FHLB advances since June 30, 1998.

Provision for Loan Losses. No provision for loan losses was made in either the
nine months ended June 30, 1999 or the nine months ended June 30, 1998. In the
opinion of management, based on its review of specific loans and historical loss
experience, the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable credit
losses that were incurred as of June 30, 1999 and 1998. Accordingly, no
provision for loan losses was recorded during the nine months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998.

Non-interest income. Non-interest income increased from $289,150 for the nine
month period ended June 30, 1998 to $300,025 for the nine month period ended
June 30, 1999. The Company experienced a decrease in loan servicing fees due to
a decrease in loans serviced for others. This decrease was offset by an increase
in gain on sale of loans due to a $2.2 million increase in sale of loans.

Non-interest expense. Non-interest expense increased from $2,239,984 during the
nine month period ended June 30, 1998 to $2,612,305 for the nine month period
ended June 30, 1999. Increases in compensation and benefits and other non-
interest expense during the nine month period ended June 30, 1999 account for
the majority of this increase. The increase in compensation and benefits was a
result of an increase in the number of employees, normal annual increases in
salaries of existing employees, bonuses and ESOP expenses. Also, professional
fees increased as a result of the Conversion. Occupancy and equipment increased
during the nine month period ended June 30, 1999 due to the Company's
installation of a local area network and the upgrading of its computer hardware
to accommodate the requirements of its service bureau's software.

                                       11
<PAGE>

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased from
$571,823 for the nine month period ended June 30, 1998 to $739,158 for the nine
month period ended June 30, 1999 as a result of higher pre-tax income.


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

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $415,507
compared to $344,821 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, an increase of
20.50%. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in net interest
income offset by an increase in non-interest expense.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased from $1,223,292 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 to $1,510,966 the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The decrease in interest expense on borrowings and deposits and an increase in
investment income and other interest-earning assets were the primary cause for
the improved net interest margin. Interest expense on borrowings decreased as a
result of a $9.0 million decrease in average borrowings outstanding during the
respective periods. This planned decrease was a result of the Company repaying
$9.0 million of FHLB advances since June 30, 1998. Interest expense on deposits
decreased as a result of a decrease in the rate paid on deposits. Investment
income and other interest-earning assets income increased as a result of a $20.1
million increase in the average balances of the associated assets.

Provision for Loan Losses. No provision for loan losses was made in either the
three months ended June 30, 1999 or the three months ended June 30, 1998. In the
opinion of management, based on its review of specific loans and historical loss
experience, the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable credit
losses that were incurred as of June 30, 1999 and 1998. Accordingly, no
provision for loan losses was recorded during the three months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998.

Non-interest income. Non-interest income increased from $78,728 for the three
month period ended June 30, 1998 to $112,820 for the three month period ended
June 30, 1999. This increase was a result of an increase in gain on sale of
loans due to the sale of $5.3 million loans during the quarter ended June 30,
1999 versus the sale of $3.1 million loans during the quarter ended June 30,
1998. This increase was offset by a decrease in loan servicing fee income due to
a reduction in loans serviced for others.

Non-interest expense. Non-interest expense increased from $752,740 during the
three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $969,186 for the three month period
ended June 30, 1999. An increase in compensation and benefits during the three
month period ended June 30, 1999 accounts for the majority of this increase. The
increase in compensation and benefits was a result of an increase in the number
of employees; a 4% average raise awarded to existing employees, employee bonuses
and ESOP expenses. Also, professional fees increased as a result of the
Conversion. In addition occupancy and equipment increased during the three month
period ended June 30, 1999 due to the Company's installation of a local area
network and the upgrading of its computer hardware to accommodate the
requirements of its service bureau's software.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased from
$204,459 for the three month period ended June 30, 1998 to $239,093 for the
three month period ended June 30, 1999 as a result of higher pre-tax income.


Year 2000 Compliance

As the year 2000 approaches, an important business issue has emerged regarding
how existing application software programs and operating systems can accommodate
this date value. Some of the existing application software products were
designed to accommodate only two-digits. For example, "96" is stored on the
system and represents 1996. The Company has identified potential problems
associated with the "Year 2000" issue and has implemented a plan designed to
ensure that all software used in connection with the Company's business will
manage and

                                       12
<PAGE>

manipulate data involving the transition with data from 1999 to 2000 without
functional or data abnormality and without inaccurate results related to such
data.

The Company has prepared a critical issues schedule with a time line and
assigned responsibilities to address the Year 2000 problem. In addition, the
Company recognizes that its ability to be Year 2000 compliant is dependent upon
the cooperation of its vendors. The Company is requiring its computer systems
and software vendors to represent that the products provided are or will be Year
2000 compliant and has planned a program of testing for compliance. The Company
has received representations from its primary third party vendors that they will
have identified any Year 2000 problems in their software and will have these
problems resolved by September 30,1999 and anticipates that all of its vendors
also will have resolved any Year 2000 problems in their software by that same
date. The Company has completed all phases outlined in the Federal Financial
Institutions Examinations Council (FFIEC). The FFIEC requires all banks to
develop plans with five critical phases: awareness, assessment, renovation,
validation and implementation. The awareness phase defined the Year 2000 issue
for the Bank and made employees and departments aware of potential challenges
associated with the date change. In the assessment phase of our plan, extensive
inventories were taken of hardware, software and facilities that could be a
problem when January 1, 2000 arrives. Through testing and correspondence with
service providers, corrective actions were determined. The Bank's customer
accounts reside with one of the largest and most proactive computer service
providers in the financial business. The Bank's renovation phase was greatly
enhanced by its decision to replace all existing personal computers and
printers. Although this decision was primarily made to improve customer service,
it has been an added benefit of helping us prepare for the Year 2000. All
systems were in place for testing with the data processing company in April
1999. The test was performed in a Year 2000 environment meaning the dates were
changed on our personal computers as well as the computer processing company.
This provided our validation for the new computers, local area network and most
importantly the accurate processing of loan, checking and savings transactions.
The fifth phase is implementation; whereby the bank introduces successfully
tested systems into the production environment. All internal mission critical
and mission necessary systems have been renovated, tested and implemented.

The Company has also prepared contingency plans in the event there are any
system interruptions. These plans are currently being tested and our staff is
being trained to implement them. The testing and training of these plans is
expected to be completed by September 30, 1999. The Company's contingency plan
is designed to ensure continued operation even in the event of a power failure.
Telephone capability is being analyzed in conjunction with vendors. The same
analysis and monitoring is being performed on the provider of security services.
The Company's vaults are mechanical and not subject to time or calendar failure.
There can be no assurances however, that the contingency plan or the performance
of the Company's vendors will be effective to remedy all potential problems. To
the extent the Company's systems are not fully Year 2000 compliant, there can be
no assurance that potential systems interruptions or the cost necessary to
update software would not have material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.

The Company `s external costs related to Year 2000 through June 30, 1999 have
been approximately $15,000. The Company expects the remaining external costs
will be minimal. The Company's internal Year 2000 costs have been primarily
payroll costs that have not been tracked.

The risks associated with not being Year 2000 compliant include financial and
legal risks. Legal risks include the failure to meet contractual service
agreements, leading to possible punitive actions including those of a regulatory
nature. Financial risks concern the possibility of lost revenues or even
business failure. Major risks associated with the date change event include a
shut down of voice and data communication systems due to failure by switching
systems, satellites, or telephone companies; excessive cash withdrawal activity;
cash couriers delayed or not available; and government offices or facilities not
opening or operating.

The Company's loan portfolio consists primarily of residential mortgage loans to
individuals. These individuals generally are not affected by Year 2000 failures.
The limited number of the Company's commercial borrowers are being contacted to
assure that timely payments will be made in January 2000. The Company has
amended its

underwriting policies to address loan payment problems associated with a
borrower as a result of a disruption in income or a commercial borrower's
inability to make a timely payment.
