                         ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

         This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the
solicitation by the Board of Directors of Stanly Capital Corp (the "Company") of
appointments of proxy for use at the annual meeting of the Company's
shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on Tuesday, April 22, 1997, at
7:30 p.m., in the Stanly County Agri-Civic Center, 26032 Newt Road, Albemarle,
North Carolina, and at any adjournments thereof. The Company's proxy
solicitation materials are first being mailed to shareholders on or about March
__, 1997. In this Proxy Statement, the Company's subsidiary bank, Bank of
Stanly, is referred to as the "Bank".

VOTING OF PROXIES

         Persons named in the enclosed appointment of proxy as proxies (the
"Proxies") to represent shareholders at the Annual Meeting are Roger L. Dick,
Dawn L. Melton and Tamara M. Singletary. Shares represented by each appointment
of proxy which is properly executed, returned and not revoked, will be voted in
accordance with the directions contained therein. If no directions are given,
such shares will be voted "FOR" the election of each of the seven nominees for
director named in Proposal 2, and "FOR" Proposals 1 and 3. If, at or before the
time of the Annual Meeting, any nominee named in Proposal 2 has become
unavailable for any reason, the proxies will be authorized to vote for a
substitute nominee. On such other matters as may come before the meeting, the
proxies will be authorized to vote in accordance with their best judgment.

RECORD DATE

         The close of business on March 7, 1997, has been fixed as the record
date (the "Record Date") for the determination of shareholders entitled to
notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Only those shareholders of record
on that date will be eligible to vote on the proposals described herein.

VOTING SECURITIES

         The Company's voting securities are the shares of its common stock, par
value $1.25 per share, of which 2,170,964 shares were issued and outstanding on
February 28, 1997.

VOTING PROCEDURES; VOTES REQUIRED FOR APPROVAL

         At the Annual Meeting, each shareholder will be entitled to one vote
for each share held of record on the Record Date on each matter submitted for
voting and, in the election of directors, for each director to be elected. In
accordance with North Carolina law, shareholders will not be entitled to vote
cumulatively in the election of directors.


                                       1
<PAGE>



         In the election of directors, the seven nominees receiving the highest
number of votes will be elected. For Proposals 1 and 3 to be approved, a
majority of the shares represented in person and by proxy and entitled to vote
at the Annual Meeting must be voted in favor of approval. Abstentions and broker
nonvotes will have no effect in the voting at the Annual Meeting.

REVOCATION OF APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

         Any shareholder who executes an appointment of proxy has the right to
revoke it at any time before it is exercised by filing with the Secretary of the
Company either an instrument revoking it or a duly executed appointment of proxy
bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and announcing his or
her intention to vote in person.

EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION

         The Company will pay the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing this
Proxy Statement. Appointments of proxy also may be solicited personally or by
telephone by the Company's and the Bank's directors, officers and employees
without additional compensation.

         beneficially owned. The calculations of the percentage of class
         beneficially owned by each individual and by the group as a whole are

         shares currently outstanding plus the number of shares capable of being
         issued to that individual (if any) and to the group as a whole within
         60 days upon the exercise of stock options held by that individual (if
         any) and by the group, respectively.

         9,546 shares; Mr. Brooks - 3,538 shares; Mr. Burleson - 1,138 shares;

 (3)     Includes a total of 29,201 shares as to which the persons included in
         the group exercise sole voting and investment power, and 105,101 shares
         as to which such power is shared. Also includes an aggregate of 34,959
         shares which executive officers included in the group could purchase
         under currently exercisable stock options.

REPORTS OF CHANGES IN BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

         Directors and executive officers of the Company are required by federal
law to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the
amount of and changes in their beneficial ownership of the Company's common
stock. In November 1996, Richard E. Clayton, Sr., former Executive Vice
President of the Bank, exercised stock options covering 26,324 shares of common
stock following his resignation from the Bank and sold those shares on the same
day, for which the required report was not filed by its due date. A report has
been filed to cover such transaction.

               PROPOSAL 1: AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

            In order to attract a broader customer base and to give the Company
regional as well as local appeal, the Board of Directors of the Company
recommends to shareholders that Article I of the Articles of Incorporation of
Stanly Capital Corp be amended in order to change the name of the Company from
Stanly Capital Corp to "Uwharrie Capital Corp".

           The text of Article I as proposed to be amended is as follows:

                      "The name of the corporation is Uwharrie Capital Corp
                       (herein referred to as the "Corporation")."



                                       3
<PAGE>


THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR"
THE AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY
TO "UWHARRIE CAPITAL CORP".

                        PROPOSAL 2: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

NOMINEES

         The Company's Bylaws provide for a Board of Directors composed of 18
members divided into three classes, each consisting of six directors who are
elected to terms of three years. Each year the terms of six directors expire and
six persons are elected as directors for new three-year terms. Due to the death
of Director Paul J. Cox, Cynthia H. Beane was appointed to serve on the Board of
Directors in 1996 to fill the unexpired one-year term of Mr. Cox. The Board of
Directors intends to nominate the seven persons named below for election by
shareholders at the Annual Meeting as directors of the Company for the terms
specified below or until their respective successors are duly elected and
qualified. With the exception of Cynthia H. Beane who currently serves as a
director of the Company, all of the nominees are new nominees. In order to
continue to evenly stagger the terms of the directors on the Board of Directors,
Ms. Beane has been nominated to serve a two-year term.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

         Each of the Company's directors also serves as a director of the Bank.
For service during 1997, the Bank will pay each director a fee of $200 for each
Board of Directors meeting attended and $100 for attendance at each meeting of a
committee. Directors do not receive additional fees for their services as
directors of the Company.

         During 1994, the Company adopted a plan under which individual
directors may elect each year to defer receipt of all or a designated portion of
their fees for that year. Amounts so deferred earn interest at rates tied to
market indices selected quarterly by the plan administrators, and such amounts
become payable in the future (in a lump sum or annual installments) as specified
by the director at the time of his or her deferral election. During 1996,
Directors Lowder, K. Efird, Long and Thompson deferred compensation pursuant to
such plan.

MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         The Company's and the Bank's Boards of Directors have the same members
and hold joint meetings. Each Board of Directors held 12 regular meetings and 3
special meetings during 1996. Each incumbent director attended 75% or more of
the aggregate number of meetings of the Boards of Directors and of any
committees on which he or she served with the exception of Directors Johnsen,
Lowder and Morton whose absences were due to prior business commitments.

         The Company's and the Bank's Boards of Directors have several standing
committees, including an Examining Committee, a Personnel Committee, a
Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee.

         The current members of the Examining Committee are Boyce E. Thompson -
Chairman, William F. Clayton, James L. Harris, Jerry J. Long and John P. Murray.
The Examining Committee reviews the annual audit reports of the Bank's
independent auditors and the examination reports issued by bank regulatory
agencies, and oversees the work of the Bank's internal auditor. The Examining
Committee met 11 times during 1996.

         The current members of the Personnel Committee are G. Chad Efird -
Chairman, Pamela S. Morton, B.A. Smith and Douglas V. Waddell. The Personnel
Committee is authorized to consider and make recommendations to the Boards of
Directors for action on matters pertaining to the compensation of employees
(other than executive officers) of the Company and the Bank and to establish
personnel policies for the Company and the Bank. The Personnel Committee did not
meet during 1996. The Board of Directors has voted that, beginning in 1997, the
Compensation Committee will also function as the Personnel Committee.

         The current members of the Compensation Committee are G. Chad Efird -
Chairman, William F. Clayton, W. Chester Lowder, James R. Mauney, Pamela S.
Morton, B.A. Smith, Jr. and Douglas V. Waddell. The Compensation Committee is
authorized to consider and make recommendations to the Boards of Directors for
action on matters pertaining to the compensation of executive officers of the
Company and the Bank. The Compensation Committee met two times during 1996.

         The current members of the Nominating Committee are Jerry J. Long -
Chairman, William S. Aldridge, Jr., W. Kermit Efird, Eric M. Johnsen, M.D. and
Pamela S. Morton. The Nominating Committee recommends candidates to the
Company's Board of Directors for selection as nominees for election as directors
of the Company and the Bank. The Nominating Committee met two times during 1996.
In making its recommendations, the Nominating Committee will consider candidates
recommended by shareholders. Recommendations of nominee candidates by
shareholders for the 1998 Annual Meeting should be submitted in writing to the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company by September 30, 1997, and should be
accompanied by a statement of each candidate's qualifications to serve as a
director.

(2)      Includes all cash bonuses received for each year by Mr. Dick. At the
         end of each year the Company's Board of Directors may approve the
         payment of annual cash bonuses to individual officers based on the
         Company's results of operations and their individual performance during
         the year. The payment and amounts of any such bonuses are determined
         solely by the Company's Board of Directors. In addition to
         discretionary cash bonuses, during 1996 the Company maintained an
         incentive plan under which, at the end of each calendar quarter, each
         of certain officers and employees could receive a cash bonus (equal to
         5.0% of their quarterly salary) if the Company's financial performance
         for that quarter equaled or exceeded budgeted amounts.

(3)      In addition to compensation paid in cash, the Company's executive
         officers receive certain personal benefits. However, the aggregate
         value of non-cash benefits received by Mr. Dick during each year did
         not exceed 10% of cash compensation paid to him.

(4)      Consists entirely of the Company's contributions on behalf of Mr. Dick
         to the Company's Section 401(k) savings plan.

(5)      The number of shares covered by options increased to 65,614 as a result
         of a 3% stock dividend declared in December 1996.

TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT

         The Bank has had, and expects to have in the future, banking
transactions in the ordinary course of business with certain of the Company's
and the Bank's directors and executive officers and their associates. All loans
included in such transactions were made on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates, repayment terms and collateral, as those prevailing at
the time for comparable transactions with other persons, and do not involve more
than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

             PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF ACCOUNTANTS

         The Board of Directors has appointed the firm of Dixon, Odom & Co.,
L.L.P., Certified Public Accountants, as the Company's independent accountants
for 1997, and a proposal to ratify that appointment will be submitted for
shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting.

         A representative of Dixon, Odom & Co., L.L.P is expected to be present
at the Annual Meeting and available to respond to appropriate questions, and
will have the opportunity to make a statement if he desires to do so.

         On August 31, 1996, the Company discontinued the services of McGladry &
Pullen, L.L.P. and engaged Dixon, Odom & Co., L.L.P. as the Company's
independent certified public accountants. In connection with McGladry & Pullen's
audits of the financial statements of the Company for the prior three fiscal
years, there were no disagreements with the Company on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of McGladry & Pullen,
L.L.P., would have caused them to make reference to the subject of the
disagreement in connection with their report. In addition, during these periods
there was no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion or any modification of
opinion as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The decision to
change accountants was approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
