Item 7.  Financial Statements

     This Special Financial Report on Form 10-KSB is being filed pursuant to
Rule 15d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act") and contains the financial statements and related notes thereto of Innes
Street Financial Corporation and Citizens Bank, FSB. The financial statements of
Innes Street Financial Corporation are unaudited.
 
     Prior to December 28, 1998, Citizens Bank, FSB (the "Bank") operated as a
federally-chartered mutual savings bank. On December 28, 1998, the Bank
converted from a federally-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-
chartered stock savings bank (the "Conversion"). In connection with the
Conversion, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Bank was
acquired by Innes Street Financial Corporation, a North Carolina corporation
(the "Company" or "Innes Street") organized as the holding company for the Bank.
Also in connection with the Conversion, Innes Street filed a Form S-1
Registration Statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") registering 2,248,250
shares of its common stock, no par value. The Commission declared the Company's
Registration Statement effective on November 12, 1998 at 3:15 p.m. Eastern Time.
The Company filed a Form 8-A pursuant to the Exchange Act with the Commission on
December 18, 1998.

     On December 17, 1998, the Bank's members approved the Conversion at a
special meeting of members. On December 28, 1998, the Conversion was consummated
and the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the
Bank for one half of the net proceeds received in the Company's initial public
offering.

     The Company is a savings and loan holding company registered with the
Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"). The Bank's and the Company's principal
office is located at 401 West Innes Street, Salisbury, North Carolina 28145. The
telephone number is (704) 633-2341.

     From the period July 6, 1998 (the date of incorporation) to September 30,
1998, the Company had no operations and conducted no business. After the
Conversion, the Company's activities will consist of investing the proceeds of
its public offering which were retained at the holding company level, holding
the indebtedness outstanding from the Citizens Bank, FSB Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") and the investment in the Bank.

                        Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Directors
Citizens Bank, FSB

We have audited the accompanying statements of condition of Citizens Bank, FSB
(formerly Citizens Savings Bank of Salisbury, S.S.B.) as of September 30, 1998
and 1997 and the related statements of income, equity, and cash flows for each
of three years in the period ended September 30, 1998. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Citizens Bank, FSB at September
30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                              September 30, 1998


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Citizens Bank, FSB (the Bank) is a federally chartered mutual savings bank
offering full service banking to those within Salisbury and the surrounding
communities.  The Bank's primary regulator is the Office of Thrift Supervision.
The Bank converted from a state chartered mutual savings bank ("Citizens Savings
Bank of Salisbury, S.S.B.") to its current charter effective September 2, 1998.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and
overnight federal funds sold.  The Bank considers all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time
of purchase.  Securities are classified as held to maturity when the Bank has
the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.  Held to
maturity securities are stated at amortized cost.

Securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available for
sale.  Available for sale securities are stated at fair value, with the
unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in retained earnings.

The amortized cost of mortgage-backed securities is adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts over the estimated life of the security.
Such amortization is included in interest income from investments.  The cost of
securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

                                                                               6

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

LOANS RECEIVABLE

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold until
maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for any
charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on
originated loans and unearned income.

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct costs are deferred and
the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield over the
contractual lives of the related loans by use of the interest method.

The Bank provides a reserve for uncollected interest on all accrued interest on
loans which are more than ninety days delinquent.  Interest income is
subsequently recognized on impaired loans only to the extent cash payments are
received.  The interest reserve is a reduction of accrued interest receivable
for financial reporting purposes.

An allowance for loan losses is established by a provision charged to operations
based on management's evaluation of the probable loss inherent in the loan
portfolio.  Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans for which full
collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other matters,
the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral.

FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE

Foreclosed real estate acquired in settlement of loans is carried at the lower
of cost or the fair value minus estimated costs to sell.  Costs relating to the
development and improvement of property are capitalized to the extent of the
property's net realizable value, whereas those relating to holding the property
are charged to expense.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed by the
straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives, which range from
three to thirty years, for financial reporting purposes.

                                                                               7

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES

The Bank accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with
FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires an asset and
liability approach to accounting for income taxes.  Under Statement No. 109,
deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

2. MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and market
values of investments in mortgage-backed securities are as follows:

The Bank primarily grants residential loans to customers in Salisbury, North
Carolina and surrounding communities.  The loans typically do not exceed 80% of
the appraised value of the security property.  Pursuant to underwriting
guidelines adopted by the Board of Directors, the Bank can lend up to 95% of the
appraised value of the property securing a one-to-four family residential loan;
however, the Bank generally obtains private mortgage insurance on the portion of
the principal amount that exceeds 80% of the appraised value of the security
property.

Effective October 1, 1995, the Bank prospectively adopted FASB Statement No. 114
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (FASB 114), as amended by FASB
Statement No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income
Recognition and Disclosures (FASB 118).  This standard defines a loan as
impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a
creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual
terms of the loan agreement.  Impaired loans are measured at the present value
of expected future cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate
or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans.  The
adoption of FASB 114 and FASB 118 did not have a material impact on the
Corporation's financial position or results of operations.  Impaired loans
totaled $199,649 and $346,639 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

The Bank adopted FASB Statement No. 125 Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, (FASB 125), as of January
1, 1997.  This Statement, which supercedes FASB 122, provides accounting and
reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities.  Those standards are based on consistent
application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control.  Under
that approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an entity recognizes the
financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has incurred,
derecognizes financial assets when control has been surrendered, and
derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.  This Statement provides consistent
standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from
transfers that are secured borrowings.  The adoption of FASB 125 did not have a
material impact on the Bank's financial position or results of operations.

                                                                              10

7. PENSION PLANS

On March 31, 1998, The Board of Directors of the Bank terminated its non-
contributory defined benefit pension plan effective July 31, 1998. At the time
the pension plan was terminated, it was fully funded. The benefits accrued by
employees under the plan have been transferred, at the election of each
employee, to the Bank's new 401(k) retirement plan.

The Bank implemented a 401(k) retirement plan effective July 1, 1998. All
eligible employees may elect to contribute a percentage of their compensation to
the plan each year, subject to certain maximums imposed by federal law. The Bank
will match 50% of each participant's contribution, up to 3% of participant's
compensation. The Bank also intends to make discretionary contributions to the
plan, expected to equal approximately 3% each year. Participants are fully
vested in the amounts they contribute to the plan. Participants will be fully
vested in employer matching contributions after one year of service.
Contribution expense related to this plan was $18,318 for the year ended
September 30, 1998.

8. INCOME TAXES

8. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

The special bad debt deduction was based on either specified experience formulas
or a specified percentage of taxable income before such deduction.  The
deduction was subject to certain limitations based on the aggregate loans,
savings account balances and retained earnings at year end.  Gains and losses on
sales of repossessed property and provisions for losses on loans and real estate
foreclosed were generally adjustments to the tax bad debt reserve and not
included in the computation of taxable income before this deduction.  Effective
October 1, 1996 this deduction was no longer allowed.  In addition, a portion of
the tax bad debt reserve is required to be recaptured over six years.  The Bank
recaptured $93,638 and $95,428 into income for income tax purposes for the years
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Retained earnings at year end include tax bad debt reserves of approximately
$3,735,000, for which no provision for federal income tax has been made.  If, in
the future, these amounts are used for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt
losses, or the Bank ceases to be qualified as a savings bank, they may be
subject to federal income tax at the then prevailing corporate tax rate.  If
federal income taxes had been provided the deferred tax liability would have
been approximately $1,270,000.

9. REGULATORY MATTERS

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory -and possibly additional discretionary - actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Bank's financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices.  The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also
subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table
below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-
weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to adjusted
assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of September 30, 1998, that the
Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

9. REGULATORY MATTERS (CONTINUED)

As of September 30, 1998, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well
capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum Tier 1 and total capital ratios as
set forth in the table.  The amounts and ratios as of September 30, 1998 and
1997 were set forth under the criteria established by the Office of Thrift
Supervision and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, respectively.  There are
no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the institution's category.

10. FDIC ASSESSMENT

The FDIC made a one-time assessment on all SAIF-insured deposits, for $.657 per
$100 of domestic deposits, held as of March 31, 1995.  This one-time assessment
was intended to recapitalize the SAIF to the required level of 1.25% of insured
deposits, and was paid in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

The effect on the Bank was a pretax charge of $1,074,702, or $654,000 after tax
for the year ended September 30, 1996.

                                                                              17

12. COMMITMENTS

In conjunction with its lending activities, the Bank enters into various
commitments to extend credit.  Loan commitments (unfunded loans and unused lines
of credit) are issued to accommodate the financing needs of the Bank's
customers.  Loan commitments are agreements by the Bank to lend at a future
date, so long as there are no violations of any conditions established in the
agreement.

Financial instruments (primarily equity lines), where the contract amount
represents the Bank's credit risk included unused lines of credit of $15,053,671
and $8,927,327 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

These loan commitments are subject to the same credit policies and reviews as
loans on the statement of condition.  Collateral, both the amount and nature, is
obtained based upon management's assessment of the credit risk.  Since many of
the extensions of credit are expected to expire without being drawn, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Outstanding commitments on mortgage loans not yet closed amounted to $7,256,700
and $2,284,316 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Approximately 88%
and 67% of these commitments were at fixed interest rates as of September 30,
1998 and 1997, respectively.  The fixed rates ranged from 5.875% to 10.75% and
7% to 11% at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Such commitments, which
are funded subject to certain limitations, extend over varying periods of time
with the majority being funded within a six-month period.

                                                                              18

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,
requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to
estimate that value.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available,
fair values are based on estimates using present value of expected cash flows or
other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the
assumptions used, including the discount rates and estimates of future cash
flows.  In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated
by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized
in immediate settlement of the instrument.  The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the
estimated fair value amounts.  The fair value estimates presented herein are
based on pertinent information available to management.  Such amounts have not
been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since
that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ
significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating its
fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

     Investment Securities
     ---------------------
     Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices.
     For purposes of determining the fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock,
     for which quoted market prices are not available, the carrying amount of
     the stock has been considered the fair value.

     Loans Receivable
     ----------------
     The fair value of all categories of loans is estimated by discounting their
     expected future cash flows using interest rates currently being offered for
     loans with similar terms, reduced by an estimate of credit losses inherent
     in the portfolio.

     Deposit Accounts
     ----------------
     The fair value of demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest bearing
     and money market accounts) is assumed to be their carrying amount.  The
     fair value of savings certificates is estimated using a discounted cash
     flow calculation that applies rates currently being offered on instruments
     with similar remaining maturities.

                                                                              19

13. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

     Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank
     ----------------------------------------
     The fair value of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank is estimated
     using discounted cash flow analysis based upon rates currently available to
     the Bank on similar instruments.

     Off-Balance Sheet Instruments
     -----------------------------
     Fair values of the Bank's commitments to extend credit and stand-by letters
     of credit are nominal since they have short maturities, and the committed
     rates approximate current rates offered for commitments with similar rate
     and maturity characteristics.

Many of the Bank's assets and liabilities are short-term financial instruments
whose carrying amounts reported in the statement of condition approximate fair
value.  These items include cash and due from banks, accrued interest receivable
and the financial instruments included in other assets and liabilities.  The
estimated fair values of the Bank's remaining on-balance sheet financial
instruments are summarized as follows:

14. PLAN OF CONVERSION

Effective September 2, 1998, the Bank converted from a North Carolina chartered
mutual savings bank to a federally chartered mutual savings bank.  On September
10, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a Plan of Conversion (the
Plan) under which the Bank will convert from a federally chartered mutual
savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank.  As part of the Plan,
the Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company, Innes
Street Financial Corporation, formed in connection with the conversion.  The
holding company plans to issue common stock to be sold in the conversion and
will use a portion of the net proceeds to purchase the capital stock of the
Bank.  The Plan has been approved by regulatory authorities and is subject to
approval by the members of the Bank at a special meeting.  If the stock offering
is successful, it is anticipated that shares of the holding company will be
traded beginning in January 1999.

At the time of the conversion, the Bank will establish a liquidation account in
the amount equal to its regulatory capital as of the latest practicable date
before the conversion at which such regulatory capital can be determined.  The
liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors
who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion.  The
liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible
depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits.  Subsequent increases will
not restore an eligible account holder's interest in the liquidation account.
In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled
to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount
proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then
held.  The Bank may

                                                                              21

not pay dividends that would reduce stockholders' equity below the required
liquidation account balance.  Under the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS)
regulations, limitations have been imposed on all "capital distributions" by
savings institutions, including cash dividends.  The regulation establishes a
three-tiered system of restrictions, with the greatest flexibility afforded to
thrifts that are both well capitalized and given a favorable qualitative
examination rating by the OTS.

Conversion costs will be deferred and deducted from the proceeds of the shares
sold in the conversion.  If the conversion is not completed, all costs will be
charged to expense.  At September 30, 1998, deferred conversion costs of
$190,447 have been recorded in the statement of condition.

15. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 - UNAUDITED

The Bank uses a third party to process all customer transactions and maintain
the books and record of the Bank and its customers.  However, some of the Bank's
PC-based software was written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. As a result, those computer programs have time-sensitive
software that recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000.  This could cause a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions
of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions or engage in similar normal business activities.

The Bank has completed an assessment, including monitoring the progress of the
third party processor, and it will have to modify or replace portions of its
software so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to
dates in the year 2000 and thereafter.  The total Year 2000 project cost is
expected to be minimal due to Citizen's purchase of all new computers unrelated
to Year 2000.  All costs will be expensed as incurred. To date, the Bank has
incurred and expensed approximately $1,500, primarily for Year 2000 software
testing.

The Bank's systems are estimated to be Year 2000 compliant not later than June
30, 1999, which is prior to any anticipated impact on its operating systems. The
Bank believes that with modifications to existing software and conversions to
new software, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant operational problems
for its computer systems.  However, if such modifications and conversions are
not made, or are not completed timely, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material
impact on the operations of the Bank.

                                                                              22

15. IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 - UNAUDITED  (CONTINUED)

The costs of the project and the date on which the Bank believes it will
complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best estimates,
which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including
the continued availability of certain resources and other factors.  However,
there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated.  Specific factors that
might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the ability to locate
and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar uncertainties.
