</TABLE>
As of January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted SFAS 114 as amended by
SFAS 118 for impaired loans. The statements subject all loans to
impairment recognition except for large groups of smaller-balance
homogeneous loans such as credit card, residential mortgage and
consumer loans. The Corporation generally considers loans to be
impaired when future payments of principal and interest are in doubt.
Included in impaired loans are loans that are consistently past due,
loans 90 days or more past due and all nonaccrual loans. Interest
income on impaired loans is recognized consistent with the
Corporation's income recognition policy of daily accrual of income
<PAGE> 8
until the loan is determined to be uncollectable and placed in a
nonaccrual status. For all impaired loans other than nonaccrual loans,
interest income totaling $135,388 for the period was recorded on an
accrual basis. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is recognized on a
cash basis. The actual amount of interest income received from the
loans for the period was 0. Interest income for the period on
nonaccrual loans that would have been recorded in accordance with the
original terms of the notes was $43,862. The adoption of SFAS 114 and
SFAS 118 did not have a material effect on Bancshares' financial
position or results of operations and required no increase to the
reserve for loan and lease losses.
At September 30, 1997, the total investment in loans that are
considered impaired under SFAS 114 was $3,074,283 of which $590,616
were nonaccrual loans. A related valuation allowance of $363,367 was
determined for the total amount of impaired loans. The average recorded
investment in impaired loans for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
was approximately $2,410,599.
At September 30, 1997 loans totaling $4,436,343 were held for sale
stated at the lower of cost of market on an individual loan basis.

Note 5. Restructuring Charges
In January 1996, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved a
strategic plan to improve operating efficiencies. The major element of
the plan was the reduction in staff through an offer of early
retirement to all employees 55 years of age or older with ten years or
more of service. Of the employees offered this opportunity, 68% opted
for early retirement, which was effective March 31, 1996. The costs
associated with increases in the actuarially determined pension and
post retirement medical expenses totaled $490,000, severance costs
associated with the early retirement package totaled $27,000 and
professional fees for administration of the early retirement totaled
$5,000.
<PAGE> 9
Note 6. Stock Split
In January of 1996, the Board of Directors of Bancshares declared a
five-for-four stock split payable February 15, 1996. All previously
reported per share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock
split.
Note 7. Other Accounting Changes
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 125 ("SFAS 125") "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" which became
effective January 1, 1997 and superseded SFAS 122. SFAS 125 applies an
accounting treatment similar to that outlined in SFAS 122 for mortgage
servicing rights and extends it to servicing assets on all financial
assets. In December of 1996, the FASB issued SFAS 127, "Deferral of the
Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125", which
amends SFAS 125 by deferring the effective date of certain provisions
of the Statement by one year. This means that entities that are
applying SFAS 125 for the first time may phase in the pronouncement,
applying those parts of SFAS 125 that are not covered by SFAS 127 in
the current year and those covered by SFAS 127 in the following year.
The Corporation adopted SFAS 125, as amended by SFAS 127, on January 1,
1997. The implementation of the Statement and the related amendment did
not have a material impact on the consolidated financial position or
consolidated results of operations of the Corporation.
Disclosure requirements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS
123) "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" are applicable for
financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1995. SFAS 123 establishes a fair value based method of accounting for
stock options and other equity instruments used in employee
compensation plans. SFAS 123 also requires significantly expanded
disclosures, including disclosure of the pro forma amount of net income
and earnings per share as if the fair value based method were used to
account for stock-based compensation, if the intrinsic value method of
APB No.-25 is retained. The Corporation intends to retain APB No.-25 in
its pro forma disclosure.
In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FSAB") issued
Statement of Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per
Share". SFAS 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held
common stock or potential common stock, such as options and warrants.
SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing EPS previously found in
Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per
Share". SFAS 128 replaces the presentation of "primary" EPS with a
presentation of "basic" EPS and requires dual presentation of "basic"
and "diluted" EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities
with complex capital structures. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares
<PAGE> 10
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the
issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the
company. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods.
Earlier application is not permitted. Restatement of all prior-period
earnings per share data presented is required. Assuming that SFAS 128
had been implemented, basic earnings per share would not have differed
materially from those disclosed in the accompanying consolidated
statements of income.
In March 1997, the FASB also issued SFAS 129, "Disclosure of
Information about Capital Structure". SFAS 129 establishes standards
for disclosing information about a company's capital structure. Under
SFAS 129, a company shall provide within its financial statements a
summary explanation of the pertinent rights and privileges of the
various securities that are outstanding. The Statement is effective for
financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The
Corporation does not anticipate that the implementation of this
Statement will have a material impact on the consolidated financial
position or results of operation.
Note 8. Merger
On January 21, 1997, LSB Bancshares, Inc. ("LSB") and Old North State
Bank ("ONSB") of Winston-Salem, North Carolina announced the signing of
a letter of intent under which the two banks would merge. A definitive
agreement was signed on March 14, 1997. Under the terms of the
definitive agreement LSB Bancshares, Inc. would acquire ONSB in a stock
transaction to be accounted for as a pooling of interests. The terms of
the agreement further stipulated that ONSB shareholders would receive
0.948 shares (subject to adjustment under certain conditions) of LSB
Bancshares, Inc. common stock in exchange for each share of ONSB common
stock held. The merger was approved by the shareholders each
institution on August 1, 1997 and regulatory approval was subsequently
received. On August 11, 1997 LSB issued 1,507,045 shares of common
stock, at an exchange rate of 0.938, to consummate the merger.
Completion of the merger increased LSB's branch system to 21 offices in
Davidson, Forsyth and Stokes Counties. LSB incurred approximately $1.4
million in nonrecurring merger-related costs associated with executing
the merger, which were charged against earnings in the third quarter of
1997.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30. 1996
Net Interest Income
The primary source of earnings for the Corporation is net interest
income, which represents the dollar amount by which interest generated
by earning assets exceeds the cost of funds. Earning assets consist
primarily of loans and investment securities and cost of funds is the
interest paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds.
Total interest income of $11,445,000 for the third quarter of 1997 was
up $1,265,000 or 12.4% compared to $10,180,000 for the third quarter of
1996. Total interest expense for the same period increased $791,000 or
18.4%. The prime interest rate, which made its first change in March of
this year since dropping to 8.25% in February of 1996, remained steady
during the third quarter of 1997. The prime interest rate is used as an
interest rate indicator by banks and has been at 8.50% since that March
27th increase. These results produced net interest income of $6,361,000
for the third quarter of 1997, for an increase of $474,000 or 8.1%
compared to $5,887,000 for the third quarter of 1996.
Noninterest Income and Expense
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 1997 was up $241,000 or
19.6% compared to the third quarter of 1996. Fee income related to
service charges on deposit accounts for the third quarter of 1997 was
up a marginal $12,000 or 1.9% compared to the third quarter of 1996.
Other operating income for the third quarter of 1997 was up $233,000 or
38.4% compared to the third quarter of 1996. This increase is
attributable to fee income generated from deposit and loan services
provided by the Bank.
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 1997, excluding one-time
nonrecurring merger related costs of $1,416,000, increased $402,000 or
9.4% compared to the third quarter of 1996. Personnel expense for the
third quarter of 1997, comprised of salaries and fringe benefits,
increased $119,000 or 4.9% compared to the third quarter of 1996.
Occupancy expense for the same period decreased $38,000 or 12.1%.
Equipment depreciation and maintenance expense increased $54,000 or
21.6% the third quarter of 1997 compared to the same period last year,
while other operating expense increased $272,000 or 21.6% during the
same period. These increases are attributable to enhancements made to
the Bank's data processing systems. All increases in noninterest
expense were within the Bank's budgeted projections.

was up $4,143,000 or 14.2% compared to $29,190,000 for the first nine
months of 1996. Total interest expense for the same period increased
$2,321,000 or 19.2. Net interest income of $18,900,000 for the first
nine months of 1997 was up $1,822,000 or 10.7% compared to $17,078,000
for the first nine months of 1996. Stable interest rates during the
first nine months of the year along with strong loan growth were major
factors contributing to this increase.
Noninterest Income and Expense
Noninterest income for the first nine months of 1997 was up $432,000 or
11.5% compared to the first nine months of 1996. Fee income related to
service charges on deposit accounts for the first nine months of 1997
was up $66,000 or 3.6% compared to the first nine months of 1996. Other
operating income for the first nine months of 1997 was up $362,000 or
19.8% compared to the first nine months of 1996. This increase is
attributable to greater activity in deposit and loan services provided
by the Bank and the resultant fee income generated.
Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 1997, excluding
one-time nonrecurring merger related costs of $1,416,000, increased
$558,000 or 4.2% compared to the same period of 1996. The contributing
factor to this small increase is the restructuring charge of $522,000
incurred in the first quarter of 1996. The restructuring plan
implemented by the Bank in 1996 included an offer for early retirement
to all employees 55 years of age with ten years of service. Of this
group, 68% opted for early retirement, which was effective March 31,
1996. Excluding the restructuring charges, noninterest expense for the
first nine months of 1997 increased $1,080,000 or 8.4% compared to the
same period of 1996. Personnel expense for the first nine months of
1997, comprised of salaries and fringe benefits, increased $259,000 or
3.5% compared to the first nine months of 1996. Occupancy expense for
the period being compared decreased slightly. Equipment depreciation
and maintenance expense for the first nine months of 1997 increased
$142,000 or 20.0%, while other operating expense increased $697,000 or
18.5% for the same period. These increases are attributable to
enhancements made to the Bank's data processing systems during this
period. All increases in noninterest expense were within the Bank's
budgeted projections.
Asset Quality and Provision for Loan Losses
The reserve for loan losses was $4,666,000 or 1.20% of loans
outstanding at September 30, 1997 compared to $4,075,000 or 1.14% of
loans outstanding at December 31, 1996 and $3,871,000 or 1.14% at
<PAGE> 13
September 30, 1996. Nonperforming loans totaled $2,220,000 or .57% of
loans outstanding at September 30, 1997 compared to $2,597,000 or 1.00%
of loans outstanding at September 30, 1996. Nonperforming loans include
nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, other real estate acquired
through foreclosed properties and accruing loans ninety days or more
past due. At September 30, 1997 the Bank had $167,000 in restructured
loans, $591,000 in nonaccrual loans and $928,000 in other real estate.
Accruing loans past due 90 days or more were $534,000 at September 30,
1997 compared to $164,000 at September 30, 1996. The accrual of
interest generally discontinues on any loan that becomes 90 days past
due as to principal or interest unless collection of both principal and
interest is assured by way of collateralization, guarantees or other
security and the loan is considered to be in the process of collection.
At September 30, 1997, the reserve for loan losses was 2.10 times the
nonperforming loans, compared to 1.56 times at December 31, 1996 and
1.11 times nonperforming loans at September 30, 1996.
In the opinion of management, all loans where serious doubts exist as
to the ability of borrowers to comply with the present repayment terms
have been included in the schedule presented.
Responsibility for market risk management resides with the
Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"). The ALCO Committee
monitors market conditions, interest rate trends and the economic
environment in its decision making process. Based upon its view of
existing and expected market conditions, balance sheet strategies will
be adopted to optimize net interest income while minimizing the risk
associated with unanticipated changes in interest rates.
The provision for loan and lease losses for the first nine months of
1997 was $467,000 compared to $499,000 for the first nine months of
1996. As the result of one large recovery in the second quarter of
1997, related to a loan previously charged off, total recoveries
exceeded charge-offs. The decrease in the 1997 provision for loan and
lease losses reflects this net increase in the loan loss reserve
resulting from the recovery.
Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard
or special mention that have not been disclosed as nonperforming do not
represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management
reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results,
liquidity, or capital resources, or represent material credits about
which management is aware of any information which causes management to
have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with
the loan repayment terms.

Income Taxes
Accrued taxes applicable to income for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1997 increased $598,000 compared to the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1996. Pretax income for the first nine months of
1997 was $7,299,000, an increase of $312,000 or 4.5% compared to
$6,987,000 for the first nine months of 1996. The increase in accrued
taxes for the first nine months of 1997 is attributable to the higher
operating income. The effective tax rate for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1997 was 34.6% compared to 27.6% for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 1996.
Capital Resources and Shareholders' Equity
Regulatory guidelines require minimum levels of capital, based on a
risk weighting of each asset category and off-balance sheet
contingencies. At September 30, 1997, based on these measures, the
Bank's ratio for Tier 1 capital was 11.42% compared to the regulatory
minimum risk-based capital ratio requirement of 4%. The Bank's Tier 2
capital ratio at this date was 19.66% compared to the regulatory
requirement of 8%. Tier 1 or core capital, as defined by federal bank
regulators, equals common shareholders' equity capital less goodwill
and other disallowed intangible assets. Tier 2 capital is the allowable
portion, as defined by the federal regulators, of the allowance for
loan losses and 100% of Tier 1 capital. Federal banking guidelines for
risk-based capital limit the amount of the allowance for loan losses
allowable in Tier 2 or total capital to
<PAGE> 15
1.25% of risk-weighted assets.
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity
Asset/liability management is the process used to monitor exposure to
interest rate risk, balance sheet trends and pricing policies. It also
addresses proper liquidity positioning and sound capital. The goals of
asset/liability management are to ensure profitability and performance,
minimize risk, adhere to proper liquidity and maintain sound capital.
Profitability and performance are affected by balance sheet composition
and interest rate movements. Management responsibility for both
liquidity and interest sensitivity reside with a designated
Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"). Market conditions,
interest rate trends and the economic environment are all evaluated by
the ALCO as a part of its asset/liability management decision-making
process. Based upon its view of existing and expected market
conditions, the ALCO adopts balance sheet strategies intended to
optimize net interest income to the extent possible while minimizing
the risk associated with unanticipated changes in interest rates. Core
deposits have historically been the primary funding sources for asset
growth. Correspondent relationships have also been maintained with
several large banks in order to have access to federal funds purchases
when needed. The Bank also has available lines of credit maintained
with the Federal Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB") which can be used for
funding and/or liquidity needs.
To minimize risk of interest rate movements, the asset/liability
management process seeks to match maturities and repricing
opportunities of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. As of
September 30, 1997, the gap between interest-sensitive assets and
interest-sensitive liabilities was a negative $90,798,000 or 0.78.
Under current economic conditions, management believes this is an
acceptable level.
Asset/liability management also addresses liquidity positioning.
Liquidity management is required in order to fund current and future
extensions of credit, meet deposit withdrawals, maintain reserve
requirements and otherwise sustain operations. As such, it is related
to interest rate sensitivity management, in that each is affected by
maturing assets and liabilities. While interest sensitivity management
is concerned with repricing intervals of assets and liabilities,
liquidity management is concerned with the maturities of those
respective balances. An appropriate liquidity position is further
accomplished through deposit growth and access to sources of funds
other than deposits, such as the federal funds market. Traditionally,
LSB has been a seller of excess investable funds in the federal funds
market and uses these funds as a part of its liquidity management.
Details of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996 are provided in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5. Other Information
On January 21, 1997, Bancshares announced the signing of a Letter of
Intent under which LSB Bancshares, Inc. and Old North State Bank of
Winston-Salem, North Carolina would merge. Under the terms of the
Letter of Intent, Old North State Bank shareholders would receive LSB
Bancshares, Inc. common stock in exchange for their Old North State
Bank holdings. The value of the transaction would be $30 million based
on Bancshares recent trading price of $20.00 per share. The transaction
is anticipated to result in earnings per share dilution to the
Corporation in the year in which the transaction closes due to one-time
merger-related expenses, but become accretive in the following years.
In connection with the signing of the Letter of Intent, Old North State
granted the Corporation an option to purchase 265,675 shares of its
stock at the exercise price of $8.00 per share, exercisable in certain
events. LSB has a dominant position in Davidson County, while Old North
State has a strong and growing presence in Forsyth and Stokes Counties,
which are the contiguous counties north of Davidson County. A
Definitive Agreement between the two institutions was signed on March
14, 1997. The merger was approved by the shareholders of each
institution on August 1, 1997 and regulatory approval was subsequently
received. On August 11, 1997 the Corporation issued 1,507,045 shares of
common stock, at an exchange rate of 0.938 to consummate the merger.
The foregoing statements regarding the merger of LSB and Old North
State Bank, including the projected earnings per share dilution on
1997 and accretive effect of the merger in subsequent years, and the
expected timing of the consummation of the transaction are forward
looking statement" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. As forward-looking statements, they are
necessarily based upon various uncertain factors, including, but not
limited to, the completion of the parties' due diligence reviews and
negotiations, projections of costs to be incurred in connection with
the merger and the parties' financial performance in the future.
Because of such uncertainties, the actual results of the merger may
differ significantly from the forward-looking statements contained
herein.
