                            FNB Corp. and Subsidiary

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       FNB Corp. is a one-bank holding company whose wholly-owned subsidiary
         is the First National Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"). The Bank is
         an independent community bank that offers full banking and trust
         services to consumer and business customers primarily in the region of
         North Carolina that includes Randolph, Montgomery and Chatham counties.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements, prepared without
         audit, include the accounts of FNB Corp. and the Bank (collectively the
         "Corporation"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions
         have been eliminated.

         The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity
         with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
         make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
         assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
         liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and
         the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
         periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.       For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
         cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold.
         Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

3.       Loans as presented are reduced by net unearned income of $55,814 at
         March 31, 1997 and are increased by net deferred expense of $37,998 and
         $305,567 at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

4.       Significant components of other expense were as follows:

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

         The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to assist in the
understanding and evaluation of the financial condition, changes in financial
condition and results of operations of FNB Corp. (the "Parent Company") and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, First National Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank"),
collectively referred to as the "Corporation". This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

         The Corporation earned $1,032,750 in the first quarter of 1997, a 9.3%
increase over the same period in 1996. Earnings per share increased from $.53 to
$.57 in comparing these first quarter periods. Total assets were $310,139,143 at
March 31, 1997, up 7.6% from March 31, 1996 and 1.0% from December 31, 1996.
Loans amounted to $201,186,836 at March 31, 1997, increasing 9.2% from March 31,
1996 and 3.0% from December 31, 1996. Total deposits grew 8.7% from March 31,
1996 and 0.6% from December 31, 1996 to $272,976,890 at March 31, 1997.

EARNINGS REVIEW

         The Corporation's net income increased $87,970 or 9.3% in the first
quarter of 1997 compared to the same period of 1996. Earnings were positively
impacted in the 1997 first quarter by an increase in net interest income of
$277,566 or 9.1% and by a $78,065 increase in total other operating income.
These gains were significantly offset, however, by a $25,000 increase in the
provision for loan losses and a $213,664 increase in total other operating
expense.

         Return on average assets improved from 1.33% in the first quarter of
1996 to 1.34% in the first quarter of 1997. Return on average shareholders'
equity decreased slightly from 14.26% to 14.09% in comparing the same periods.

Net Interest Income

         Net interest income is the difference between interest income,
principally from loans and investments, and interest expense, principally on
customer deposits. Changes in net interest income result from changes in
interest rates and in the volume, or average dollar level, and mix of earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

         Net interest income was $2,509,933 in the first quarter of 1997
compared to $2,316,408 in the same period of 1996. This increase of $277,566 or
9.1% resulted primarily from a 8.4% increase in the level of average earning
assets coupled with an improvement in the net yield on earning assets, or net
interest margin, from 4.85% in the 1996 first quarter to 4.92% in the same
period of 1997. On a taxable equivalent basis, the increase in net interest
income in the first quarter of 1997 was $310,000, reflecting changes in the
relative mix of taxable and non-taxable earning assets.


                                        5
<PAGE>

         Table 1 on page 12 sets forth for the periods indicated information
with respect to the Corporation's average balances of assets and liabilities, as
well as the total dollar amounts of interest income (taxable equivalent basis)
from earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities,
resultant rates earned or paid, net interest income, net interest spread and net
yield on earning assets. Net interest spread refers to the difference between
the average yield on earning assets and the average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities. Net yield on earning assets, or net interest
margin, refers to net interest income divided by average earning assets and is
influenced by the level and relative mix of earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities. Changes in net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis, as
measured by volume and rate variances, are also analyzed in Table 1. Volume
refers to the average dollar level of earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities.

         Changes in the net interest margin and net interest spread tend to
correlate with movements in the prime rate of interest. There are variations,
however, in the degree and timing of rate changes, compared to prime, for the
different types of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

         The prime rate of interest has moved to generally higher levels in
recent years, due primarily to actions taken by the Federal Reserve to combat
potential increases in inflation. After averaging 6.00% in 1993, the prime rate
has subsequently averaged 7.09%, 8.82% and 8.28% in 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. The prime rate reached a level of 9.00% in the first quarter of
1995, and then, following actions by the Federal Reserve to lower interest
rates, it decreased over time to a level of 8.25% in the first quarter of 1996.
In the first quarter of 1997, the Federal Reserve elected to tighten rates, and
the prime increased to 8.50%. The average prime was 8.27% in the first quarter
of 1997 compared to 8.36% in the same period of 1996. In comparing first quarter
periods, the net interest spread increased by 7 basis points form 4.10% in 1996
to 4.17% in 1997 as the result of similar increase in the average total yield on
earning assets from 8.42% to 8.49%. There was no change in the average rate paid
on interest-bearing liabilities, or cost of funds, which amounted to 4.32% in
each first quarter period.

Provision for Loan Losses

         This provision is the charge against earnings to provide an allowance
or reserve for possible future losses on loans. The amount of each period's
charge is affected by several considerations including management's evaluation
of various risk factors in determining the adequacy of the allowance (see "Asset
Quality"), actual loan loss experience and loan portfolio growth. Earnings were
negatively impacted in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in
1996 by a $25,000 increase in the provision.

Other Operating Income

         Total other operating income, or noninterest income, increased $78,065
or 13.3% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996,
reflecting in part the general increase in the volume of business. The gain in
annuity and brokerage commissions resulted principally from increased brokerage
commissions. Credit card income increased due to the continuing development of
the new credit card operation discussed in "Business Development Matters". The
level of other service charges, commissions and fees is higher due primarily to
the implementation in the 1996 third quarter of a fee charged to noncustomers
for usage of the Bank's automated teller machines.


                                        6

Other Operating Expense

         Total other operating expense, or noninterest expense, increased
$213,664 or 9.8% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in
1996 due largely to costs associated with changes in operations, increased
personnel expense and the continuing effects of inflation. Personnel expense was
impacted by increased staffing requirements, normal salary adjustments and
higher costs of fringe benefits. Net occupancy expense was affected by increased
maintenance charges. The expanded use of personal computer networks has
contributed to higher levels of equipment costs and data processing services,
the latter item also being impacted by higher costs related to the change in the
credit card operation (see "Business Development Matters").

         FDIC insurance expense has been significantly affected in recent years
by major legislation, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act (FDICIA) enacted in 1989. The FDIC currently has two separate
insurance funds, which are the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). As provided by FIDICA, the insurance
assessment rate could be lowered once a fund had reached a mandated 1.25 percent
reserve ratio. While the SAIF fund did not reach the mandated reserve ratio, the
BIF fund was found in the third quarter of 1995 to have reached this level by
the end of May 1995. Accordingly, the BIF rate was reduced effective June 1,
1995, resulting in only a minimum annual charge of $2,000 for the majority of
financial institutions with BIF-insured deposits. Since most of the Bank's
deposits are insured through BIF, the Bank experienced a significant reduction
in FDIC insurance expense commencing in the 1995 third quarter when the effect
of the rate adjustment was initially recorded.

         The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (DIFA) was enacted on September
30, 1996 and has three main components. The first included both a one-time
assessment on SAIF deposits to capitalize the SAIF fund to the mandated 1.25
percent reserve ratio. The second is a requirement that the repayment of the
Financing Corporation (FICO) bonds be shared by both banks and thrifts. The
third is the ultimate elimination of the BIF and SAIF funds by merging them into
a new Deposit Insurance Fund. The one-time assessment on the Bank's SAIF
deposits, which amounted to $74,845, was determined on the date of enactment and
expensed at that time. Effective January 1, 1997, FDIC insurance premiums are
being assessed for FICO bond purposes at an initial rate of $.0648 per $100 for
SAIF deposits and a rate equal to one-fifth of that, or $.01296 per $100, for
BIF deposits. Additional premiums could be assessed in order to maintain the BIF
and SAIF funds at the required 1.25 percent reserve ratio. FDIC insurance
expense for the first quarters of 1997 and 1996 amounted to $10,057 and $8,188,
respectively, and was included in "other expense".

Income Taxes

         The effective income tax rate decreased from 30.3% in the first quarter
of 1996 to 29.9% in the same period of 1997 due principally to a decrease in the
ratio of taxable to tax-exempt income.

LIQUIDITY

         Liquidity refers to the continuing ability of the Bank to meet deposit
withdrawals, fund loan and capital expenditure commitments, maintain reserve
requirements, pay operating expenses and provide funds to the Parent Company for
payment of dividends, debt service and other operational requirements. Liquidity
is immediately available from four major sources: (a) cash on hand and on
deposit at other banks, (b) the outstanding balance of federal funds sold, (c)
lines for the purchase of federal funds from other banks and


                                        7
<PAGE>

(d) the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Further, while
available-for-sale securities are intended to be a source of immediate
liquidity, the entire investment securities portfolio is managed to provide both
income and a ready source of liquidity. The average portfolio life of debt
securities is approximately five years, resulting in a substantial level of
maturities each year. All debt securities are of investment grade quality and,
if the need arises, can be promptly liquidated on the open market or pledged as
collateral for short-term borrowing.

         In line with its approach to liquidity, the Bank as a matter of policy
does not solicit or accept brokered deposits for funding asset growth. Instead,
loans and other assets are based on a solid core of local deposits and the
Bank's strong capital position. To date, the steady increase in deposits, retail
repurchase agreements and capital has been adequate to fund loan demand in the
Bank's market area, while maintaining the desired level of immediate liquidity
and a substantial investment securities portfolio available for both immediate
and secondary liquidity purposes.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

         One of the primary objectives of asset/liability management is to
maximize net interest margin while minimizing the earnings risk associated with
changes in interest rates. One method used to manage interest rate sensitivity
is to measure, over various time periods, the interest rate sensitivity
positions, or gaps; however, this method addresses only the magnitude of timing
differences and does not address earnings or market value. Therefore, management
uses an earnings simulation model to prepare, on a regular basis, earnings
projections based on a range of interest rate scenarios in order to more
accurately measure interest rate risk.

         The Bank's balance sheet is liability-sensitive, meaning that in a
given period there will be more liabilities than assets subject to immediate
repricing as market rates change. Because immediately rate sensitive
interest-bearing liabilities exceed rate sensitive assets, the earnings position
could improve in a declining rate environment and could deteriorate in a rising
rate environment, depending on the correlation of rate changes in these two
categories. Included in interest-bearing liabilities subject to rate changes
within 30 days is a portion of the NOW, savings, and money market deposits.
These types of deposits historically have not repriced coincidentally with or in
the same proportion as general market indicators.

         As a specific asset/liability management tool, the Bank, at March 31,
1997, had entered into interest rate floor agreements with a correspondent bank
to protect certain variable-rate loans from the downward effects of their
repricing in the event of a decreasing rate environment. The total notional
amount of the agreements is $20,000,000. The agreements require the
correspondent bank to pay to the Bank the difference between the specified floor
rate of interest in each agreement and the prime rate of interest in the event
that the prime rate is less. Any payments received under the agreements, net of
premium amortization, will be treated as an adjustment of interest income on
loans.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

         Under guidelines established by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, capital adequacy is currently measured for regulatory purposes
by certain risk-based capital ratios, supplemented by a leverage capital ratio.
The risk-based capital ratios are determined by expressing allowable capital
amounts, defined in terms of Tier I and Tier II, as a percentage of
risk-adjusted assets, which are computed by measuring the relative credit risk
of both the asset categories on the balance sheet and various off-balance


                                        8
<PAGE>

sheet exposures. Tier I capital consists primarily of common shareholders'
equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock, net of goodwill and other
disallowed intangible assets. Tier II capital, which is limited to the total of
Tier I capital, includes allowable amounts of subordinated debt, mandatory
convertible securities, preferred stock and the allowance for loan losses. Under
current requirements, the minimum total capital ratio, consisting of both Tier I
and Tier II capital, is 8.00% and the minimum Tier I capital ratio is 4.00%. At
March 31, 1997, FNB Corp. and the Bank had total capital ratios of 14.93% and
14.65%, respectively, and Tier I capital ratios of 13.96% and 13.69%.

         The leverage capital ratio, which serves as a minimum capital standard,
considers Tier I capital only and is expressed as a percentage of average total
assets for the most recent quarter, after reduction of those assets for goodwill
and other disallowed intangible assets at the measurement date. As currently
required, the minimum leverage capital ratio is 4.00%. At March 31, 1997, FNB
Corp. and the Bank had leverage capital ratios of 9.57% and 9.38%, respectively.

         The Bank is also required to comply with prompt corrective action
provisions established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
Act. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must have a minimum ratio
for total capital of 10.00%, for Tier I capital of 6.00% and for leverage
capital of 5.00%. As noted above, the Bank met all of those ratio requirements
at March 31, 1997 and, accordingly, is well-capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

         Total assets at March 31, 1997 were higher than at March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1996 by $21,972,000 or 7.6% and $3,005,000 or 1.0%, respectively;
deposits were ahead by $21,870,000 or 8.7% and $1,597,000 or 0.6%. Average
assets increased $23,847,000 or 8.4% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to
the same period in 1996, while average deposits increased $22,278,000 or 8.9%.

Investment Securities

         Additions to the investment securities portfolio depend to a large
extent on the availability of investable funds that are not otherwise needed to
satisfy loan demand. During the twelve-month period ended March 31, 1997, when
the growth in total assets exceeded that for loans, the level of investment
securities was increased by a net amount of $691,000 or 0.8%. Based on funds
needs in the 1997 first quarter, however, when loan growth was at a much higher
rate than that for either total assets or deposits, there was a net reduction in
the level of investment securities of $4,052,000 or 4.5%. Investable funds not
otherwise utilized are temporarily invested on an overnight basis as federal
funds sold, the level of which is affected by such considerations as near-term
loan demand and liquidity needs.

Loans

         The Corporation's primary source of revenue and largest component of
earning assets is the loan portfolio. Loans increased $16,997,000 or 9.2% during
the twelve-month period ended March 31, 1997. The net loan increase during the
first quarter of 1997 was $5,914,000 or 3.0%. Average loans were $14,821,000 or
8.1% higher in the first quarter of 1997 than in the same period of 1996. The
ratio of average loans to average deposits, in comparing first quarter periods,
decreased from 73.2% in 1996 to 72.6% in 1997. The ratio of loans to deposits at
March 31, 1997 was 73.7%.

                                        9
<PAGE>

         Loan growth and the composition of the loan portfolio are being
affected by management's decision in March 1996 to discontinue the purchase of
retail installment loan contracts from automobile and equipment dealers (see
"Business Development Matters"). The outstanding balance of these loan
contracts, which are primarily included in consumer loans, experienced a net
decrease of $16,662,090 during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 1997.
Consequently, total consumer loans declined significantly during that period.
Other consumer loan elements, including credit cards and home equity lines of
credit, have continued to grow. Changes in the credit card operation are
discussed in "Business Development Matters". The commercial loan portfolio and
the residential construction and mortgage loan portfolio have each experienced
strong gains during the last twelve months and also during the first quarter of
1997.

Asset Quality

         Management considers the Bank's asset quality to be of primary
importance. A formal loan review function, independent of loan origination, is
used to identify and monitor problem loans. As part of the loan review function,
a third party assessment group is employed to review the underwriting
documentation and risk grading analysis. In determining the allowance for loan
losses and any resulting provision to be charged against earnings, particular
emphasis is placed on the results of the loan review process. Consideration is
also given to historical loan loss experience, the value and adequacy of
collateral, and economic conditions in the Bank's market area. This evaluation
is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including the
amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired
loans that may be susceptible to significant change.

         Management's policy in regard to past due loans is conservative and
normally requires a prompt charge-off to the allowance for loan losses following
timely collection efforts and a thorough review. Further efforts are then
pursued through various means available. Loans carried in a nonaccrual status
are generally collateralized and the possibility of future losses is considered
minimal.

Deposits

         The level and mix of deposits is affected by various factors, including
general economic conditions, the particular circumstances of local markets and
the specific deposit strategies employed. In general, broad interest rate
declines tend to encourage customers to consider alternative investments such as
mutual funds and tax-deferred annuity products, while interest rate increases
tend to have the opposite effect.

         The Bank's level and mix of deposits has been specifically affected by
the following factors. A promotion that offered premium-rate certificates of
deposit, based on a selected maturities, has resulted in a significant portion
of the $12,424,000 increase in time deposits during the twelve-month period
ended March 31, 1997. A retail repurchase agreements program has tended to
transfer funds away from deposits. The balance of retail repurchase agreements
was $4,564,000 at March 31, 1997 and $4,215,000 at March 31, 1996. Further, the
level of time deposits obtained from governmental units fluctuates, amounting to
$21,504,000, $17,478,000 and $21,602,000 at March 31, 1997, March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1996, respectively.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MATTERS

         During 1994, a new credit card operation was established in which the
Bank carries its own credit card receivables as opposed to the former fee-based
arrangement under which accounts were generated for

                                       10
<PAGE>

and owned by a correspondent bank. As part of the new credit card strategy,
extensive marketing efforts were undertaken in 1995, primarily to Bank
customers. Credit card receivables amounted to $2,272,120, $1,580,015 and
$2,257,204 at March 31, 1997, March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1996,
respectively. Additionally, the merchant aspect of credit card operations has
been shifted to an in-house basis from the prior correspondent arrangement.

         In a significant 1994 development, the Bank elected to outsource all of
its data processing, item capture and statement rendering operations. The
conversion to a service bureau arrangement was completed in the 1994 fourth
quarter. The major items of data processing equipment that were no longer needed
by the Bank were acquired by the new processor. While the Bank does not
currently plan to resume any major data processing operations, the level of
computer equipment was significantly increased in 1995 through expanded use of
personal computer networks. The new networks allow for a more direct input of
basic loan and deposit account information to the data files maintained by the
service bureau. Capital expenditures in 1995, which totaled $1,302,230, related
primarily to the increase in computer equipment. Since most of this equipment
was not placed into service until late in 1995, the full effect on annual
depreciation expense was not recognized until 1996. Approximately one-third of
1996 capital expenditures, which totaled $1,019,109, also related to personal
computer networks.

         Management decided in March 1996 that the Bank would discontinue the
purchase of retail installment loan contracts from automobile and equipment
dealers, due largely to the declining yields being experienced in this loan
program. Contracts of this nature included in loans amounted to $17,259,805,
$33,921,895 and $20,355,367 at March 31, 1997, March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1996, respectively. While there will be no purchases of new contracts, current
plans call for the collection of outstanding loans based on their contractual
terms. It is expected that the funds previously invested in this loan program
will be redeployed, as loan payments occur, to other loan programs or to the
investment securities portfolio.

(1)     The mix variance, not separately stated, has been proportionally
        allocated to the volume and rate variances based on their absolute
        dollar amount.

(2)     Interest income and yields related to certain investment securities and
        loans exempt from both federal and state income tax or from state income
        tax alone are stated on a fully taxable equivalent basis, assuming a 34%
        federal tax rate and applicable state tax rate, reduced by the
        nondeductible portion of interest expense.

(3)     Nonaccrual loans are included in the average loan balance. Loan fees and
        the incremental direct costs associated with making loans are deferred
        and subsequently recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment
        of interest income.
