ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         On January 28,  1998,  Home Savings  Bank of Siler City,  Inc.,  SSB, a
North Carolina savings bank ("Home  Savings"),  notified the Registrant that the
Board of Directors of Home Savings had elected to terminate  the  Agreement  and
Plan  of  Reorganization  and  Merger  dated  as of June 3,  1997  (the  "Merger
Agreement") by and among the Registrant,  First National Bank and Trust Company,
a  national  bank  and  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  the  Registrant   ("First
National"),  and Home  Savings,  pursuant  to which the  Registrant  intended to
acquire Home Savings by merger of Home Savings with and into First National (the
"Merger").

         Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,  shareholders of Home Savings were to
receive $15.50 per share either in cash or the  Registrant's  common stock, or a
combination  thereof.  The  Merger  Agreement  was  approved  by  Home  Savings'
shareholders  at a meeting held on December 17, 1997.  Conditional  approvals of
the proposed transaction had been received from the Office of the Comptroller of
the  Currency  and  from  the   Administrator  of  the  North  Carolina  Savings
Institutions  Division.  The  proposed  transaction  was  scheduled  to close on
January 30, 1998.

         The  termination  of the  Merger  Agreement  was  pursuant  to  Section
8.2(b)(vi)  thereof,  which  permitted  Home  Savings  to  terminate  the Merger
Agreement if the average  Closing Price (as defined in the Merger  Agreement) of
the  Registrant's  common  stock for the twenty (20)  consecutive  trading  days
ending  three (3) days prior to the  scheduled  Closing  Date (as defined in the
Merger  Agreement)  was more  that  $36.50.  The  average  Closing  Price of the
Registrant's common stock for such period exceeded $45.00 per share.
