============== ==============
</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 nonaccrual loans. Interest income on
impaired loans is recognized consistent with the Corporation's income
recognition policy of daily accrual of income until the loan is
<PAGE> 10
determined to be uncollectible and placed in a nonaccrual status. For
all impaired loans other than nonaccrual loans, year to date interest
income totaling $321,484 was recorded on an accrual basis. Interest
income on nonaccrual loans is recognized on a cash basis. Cash totaling
$6,149 has been collected year to date on nonaccrual loans. Interest
income on current nonaccrual loans that would have been recorded in
accordance with the original terms of the notes was $22,474. The
adoption of SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 did not have a material effect on the
Corporation's financial position or results of operations and required
no increase to the reserve for loan and lease losses.
At September 30, 2000, the total investment in loans that are
considered impaired under SFAS 114 was $6,111,622, including nonaccrual
loans of $256,918. A related valuation allowance of $955,201 was
determined for the total amount of impaired loans. The average recorded
investment in impaired loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2000
was approximately $6,144,530.
At September 30, 2000, loans totaling $9,680,540 were held for sale
stated at the lower of cost or market on an individual loan basis.

NOTE 5. OTHER ACCOUNTING CHANGES
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities". SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments
that are embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. SFAS
133 requires that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or
liabilities on the balance sheet at their fair value. Requirements of
SFAS 133 could affect the amount of an institution's recorded assets,
liabilities, equity as well as its regulatory capital levels. As
defined under SFAS 133, derivatives carry a designation of (a) no hedge
designation, (b) fair value hedge, (c) cash flow hedge, or (d) foreign
currency hedge. SFAS 133 was originally effective for fiscal periods,
both years and quarters, beginning after June 15, 1999, but has now
been extended by SFAS 137 to June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 has also been
amended by SFAS 138, which provides additional guidance in implementing
the original pronouncement. The effective date of SFAS 138 is the same
as SFAS 133 for entities that have not adopted SFAS 133 before June 15,
2000. Bancshares does not presently have any derivative instruments
within the definition of SFAS 133 and as such, does not anticipate any
material effect on its financial position and operating results from
adoption of the standard.
Statement No. 134 ("SFAS 134"), "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed
Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for
Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise" was issued by FASB effective for
the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 1998. SFAS 134
amends Statement 65 ("SFAS65"), "Accounting for Certain Mortgage
Banking Activities" to require entities engaged in mortgage banking
activities to classify mortgage-backed securities resulting from the
securitization of mortgage loans held for sale, based on its ability
and intent to sell or hold those investments. Classification of any
retained mortgage-backed securities would be in accordance with the
provisions of Statement 115 ("SFAS 115") "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Any retained
mortgage-backed securities that an entity commits to sell before or
during the securitization process must be classified as
<PAGE> 11
trading. Bancshares does not presently securitize any of its mortgage
loans within the definition of SFAS 134 and, as such, does not
anticipate any material effect on its financial position and operating
results from adoption of the standard.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
The discussion presented herein is intended to provide an overview of
the changes in financial condition and results of operations for LSB
Bancshares, Inc, ("Bancshares") and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Lexington State Bank ("LSB") for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999. The consolidated financial statements also
include the accounts and results of operations of LSB's wholly owned
subsidiaries, Peoples Finance Company of Lexington, Inc. ("Peoples
Finance") and LSB Investment Services, Inc. ("LSB Investment
Services"). This discussion and analysis is intended to complement the
unaudited financial statements, footnotes and supplemental financial
data in this Form 10Q, and should be read in conjunction therewith.
This report contains certain forward-looking statements related to
anticipated future operating and financial performance, and other
similar statements of expectations. These forward-looking statements
are based on estimates, beliefs and assumptions made by management and
are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results may differ
from those expressed or implied as the result of various factors, among
which are movements in interest rates, competitive product or pricing
pressures, changes in economic conditions, and changes in regulatory
policies.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1999
Net Interest Income
The primary source of earnings for the Corporation is net interest
income, which represents the dollar amount by which interest generated
from 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 $15,647,000 for the third quarter of 2000 was
up $2,309,000 or 17.3% compared to $13,338,000 for the third quarter of
1999. Total interest expense of $7,751,000 for the third quarter of
2000 was up $2,083,000 or 36.8% compared to $5,668,000 for the third
quarter of 1999. These results produced net interest income of
$7,896,000 for the third quarter of 2000, for a gain of $226,000 or
2.9% compared to $7,670,000 for the third quarter of 1999. Loan demand
during the third quarter of 2000 remained at relatively the same pace
as during the second quarter and accounted for the increase in net
interest income. The Federal Reserve, which raised interest rates six
times over the past year in an effort to slow the economy, relaxed its
position during the third quarter. The prime interest rate, which
increased three times in the second half of 1999 and another three
times in the first half of 2000, has remained at 9.50% for the third
quarter of 2000. Loans constitute the largest group of earning assets
and therefore generate the majority of Bancshares' interest income. For
the period ended September 30, 2000, Bancshares' loan portfolio
increased $42,713,000 or 8.4% over December 31, 1999 and $59,151,000 or
12.1% over September 30, 1999. For the period ended September 30, 2000,
deposits increased $64,348,000 or 10.6% over December 31, 1999 and
$65,577,000 or 10.9% over September 30, 1999. The cost of funds
increased during the third quarter as the majority of the deposit
growth came from higher rate certificates of deposit. Consequently, the
bank has seen some narrowing of its interest margins during the current
quarter.
Noninterest Income and Expense
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2000 was up $356,000 or
20.9% compared to the third quarter of 1999. Fee income related to
service charges on deposit accounts for the third quarter of 2000
increased $109,000 or 13.5% compared to the third quarter of 1999.
Gains on the sale of mortgage loans for the third quarter of 2000 were
$41,000 compared to $31,000 for the third quarter of 1999. In the third
quarter of 2000, the Bank sold stock distributed from the North
Carolina Enterprise Corporation, a venture capital firm of which the
bank is an investor. Consequently, a gain on sales of investment
securities of $187,000 was realized. Other operating income for the
third quarter of 2000 increased a modest $50,000 compared to the
corresponding period of 1999.
<PAGE> 12
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2000 increased $328,000 or
5.6% compared to the third quarter of 1999. Personnel expense for the
third quarter of the year, comprised of salaries and fringe benefits,
increased $342,000 or 11.1% over the third quarter of 1999. The expense
provision for employee health insurance was increased $115,000 in the
third quarter of 2000 compared to the corresponding period of 1999.
Occupancy expense for the third quarter decreased $18,000 or 5.5%
compared to the third quarter of 1999. Equipment depreciation and
maintenance expense posted an increase in the third quarter of 2000 of
$54,000 or 16.8% compared to the third quarter of 1999. Other operating
expense for the third quarter of 2000 decreased $50,000 or 2.3%
compared to the third quarter of 1999.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
1999
Net Interest Income
Total interest income of $44,832,000 for the first nine months of 2000
was up $5,969,000 or 15.4% compared to $38,863,000 for the first nine
months of 1999. Total interest expense of $21,228,000 for the first
nine months of 2000 increased $4,817,000 or 29.4% compared to the
corresponding nine months of 1999. Net interest income of $23,604,000
for the first nine months of 2000 was up $1,152,000 or 5.1% compared to
$22,452,000 for the first nine months of 1999. Rising interest rates on
bank time deposits during the third quarter of 2000 were contributing
factors to narrowing interest margins and slowing net interest growth.
Noninterest Income and Expense
Noninterest income for the first nine months of 2000 was up $670,000 or
12.6% compared to the first nine months of 1999. Fee income related to
service charges on deposit accounts for the first nine months of 2000
was up $337,000 or 14.6% compared to the first nine months of 1999.
Gains on the sale of mortgage loans for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 were down $152,000 or 64.1% compared to the
comparable period of 1999. The rising interest rate environment slowed
mortgage loan growth and the subsequent sales of this product. Other
operating income for the first nine months of 2000 was up $298,000 or
10.9% compared to the first nine months of 1999. The increase resulted
from the Bank's bankcard division and its investment services
subsidiary. The bankcard division produced increased revenue of
$247,000 or 29.2% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000
compared to the corresponding period of 1999. Commissions generated by
the investment services subsidiary increased $206,000 or 46.6% the
first nine months of 2000 compared to the first nine months of 1999.
The investment services subsidiary generates commission income through
the sale of mutual funds, annuities and equities.
Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2000 increased
$1,279,000 or 7.5% compared to the same period of 1999. Personnel
expense for the first nine months of 2000, comprised of salaries and
fringe benefits, increased $1,090,000 or 11.9% compared to the first
nine months of 1999. Expense for the provision for employee health
insurance for the first nine months of 2000 was increased $265,000
compared to the corresponding period of 1999. Occupancy expense for the
period being compared remained relatively flat. Equipment depreciation
and maintenance expense for the first nine months of 2000 increased
$126,000 or 13.3%. Other operating expense increased a modest $64,000
or 1.1% the first nine months of 2000 compared to the first nine months
of 1999. With the exception of the provision for employee health
insurance, noninterest expenses for the reporting period were within
the Bank's budgeted projections.
Asset Quality and Provision for Loan Losses
The reserve for loan losses was $5,715,000 or 1.04% of loans
outstanding at September 30, 2000 compared to $5,246,000 or 1.04% of
loans outstanding at December 31, 1999 and $5,240,000 or 1.07% at
September 30, 1999. Non-performing loans totaled $2,827,000 or .51% of
loans outstanding at September 30, 2000 compared to $2,090,000 or .41%
of loans outstanding at December 31, 1999, and $1,862,000 or .38% of
loans outstanding at September 30, 1999. Nonperforming loans include
nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, other real estate acquired
through foreclosed properties and accruing loans ninety days or more
past due. As of September 30, 2000, Bancshares had $47,000 in
restructured loans and $1,492,000 in other real estate and $257,000 in
nonaccrual loans. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more were
$1,031,000 at September 30, 2000 compared to $821,000 at December 31,
1999 and $566,000 at September 30, 1999. 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
<PAGE> 13
in the process of collection. At September 30, 2000, the reserve for
loan losses was 2.02 times non-performing loans, compared to 2.51 times
at December 31, 1999 and 2.81 times non-performing loans at September
30, 1999.
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 are
adopted to optimize net interest income while minimizing the risk
associated with unanticipated changes in interest rates.
The provision for loan and lease losses that was charged to operations
for the third quarter of 2000 was $815,000 compared to $215,000 for the
third quarter of 1999. For the first nine months of 2000 the provision
for loan and lease losses was $1,395,000 compared to $615,000 for the
corresponding period in 1999. Net charge-offs amounted to $926,000, or
.23% of average loans outstanding, on an annualized basis, during the
first nine months of 2000. In management's opinion the quality of the
loan portfolio continues to be of a high level.
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.
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.

Income Taxes
Accrued taxes applicable to income for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2000 were $2,984,000 compared to $2,847,000 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. Pretax income for the first
nine months of 2000 of $9,743,000 was down $237,000 from the $9,980,000
for the first nine months of 1999. The change in accrued taxes for the
periods being compared is primarily the result of the exercise of
nonqualified stock options in 1999.
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.
Regulatory agencies divide capital into Tier 1 or core capital and
total capital. Tier 1 capital, as defined by regulatory agencies,
consists primarily of common shareholders' equity less goodwill and
certain other intangible assets. Total capital consists of Tier 1
capital plus the allowable portion of the reserve for loan losses and
certain long-term debt. At September 30, 2000, based on these measures,
Bancshares' had a Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.93% compared to the
regulatory requirement of 4% and total capital ratio of 15.03% compared
to an 8% regulatory requirement.
Additional regulatory capital measures include the Tier 1 leverage
ratio. The Tier 1 leverage ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital divided
by average total assets less goodwill and certain other intangibles and
has a regulatory minimum of 3.0%, with most institutions required to
maintain a ratio of at least 4.0% to 5.0%, depending primarily upon
risk profiles. At September 30, 2000, Bancshares' Tier 1 leverage ratio
was 9.19%.
<PAGE> 15
In November of 1998, the Board of Directors of Bancshares ("Board")
approved a stock repurchase program for up to 300,000 shares of its
common stock, or approximately 3.4% of its outstanding shares. The
Board authorized the repurchase of shares of common stock in the open
market or privately negotiated transactions on a time-to-time and
ongoing basis, depending upon market conditions and subject to
compliance with all applicable securities laws and regulations. The
repurchase plan is intended to help Bancshares achieve its goal of
building shareholder value and maintaining appropriate capital levels.
On August 11, 1999, Bancshares approved an extension of its stock
repurchase program for up to an additional 300,000 shares of its common
stock, or approximately 3.5% of its then outstanding shares. During
1999, 361,498 shares were repurchased and retired at an average cost of
$18.99 per share. During the first nine months of 2000, Bancshares
purchased 55,333 shares under the plan at an average cost of $13.13.
Market Risk Management
Bancshares' market risk arises primarily from the interest rate risk
inherent in its lending and deposit-taking activities. The objectives
of market risk management are to ensure long-range profitability
performance and minimize risk, adhere to proper liquidity and maintain
sound capital. To meet these goals, the Asset/Liability Management
Committee ("ALCO") monitors the exposure to interest rate risk, balance
sheet trends, pricing policies and liquidity position. The objectives
are to achieve relatively stable net interest margins and assure
liquidity through coordinating the volumes, maturities or repricing
opportunities of earning assets, deposits and borrowed funds. This is
accomplished through strategic pricing of asset and liability accounts.
As a result of this management, appropriate maturities and/or repricing
opportunities are developed to produce consistent earnings during
changing interest rate environments.
Based upon its view of existing and expected market conditions, 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. The Bank has also executed a retail CD
brokerage agreement, which provides an additional source for liquidity
or funding needs.
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. Details of cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are
provided in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk reflects the risk of economic loss resulting from adverse
changes in market price and interest rates. This risk of loss can be
reflected in diminished current market values and/or reduced potential
net interest income in future periods.
Bancshares' market risk arises primarily from the interest rate risk
inherent in its lending and deposit-taking activities. The structure of
Bancshares' loan and deposit portfolios is such that a significant
decline in interest rates may adversely impact net market values and
net interest income. Bancshares' does not maintain a trading account
nor is it subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk.
Responsibility for monitoring interest rate risk rests with the
Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") which is appointed by the
Board of Directors. ALCO meets on a regular basis to review interest
rate risk exposure and liquidity positions. Balance sheet management
and funding strategies are reviewed to ensure that any potential impact
on earnings and liquidity, resulting from a fluctuation in interest
rates is within acceptable standards.
<PAGE> 16
Management believes that there have been no significant changes in
market risk as disclosed in Bancshares' quarterly report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended September 30, 2000. Management believes that the
goal of avoiding material negative changes in net income as a result of
changing interest rates has been accomplished.
