UWHARRIE CAPITAL CORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
- ------------------------------------------------------

Note 1  -  Accounting Policies

The financial statements and accompanying notes are presented on a consolidated
basis including Uwharrie Capital Corp (the "Company"), it's Subsidiary, Bank of
Stanly ("the Bank") and the Bank's subsidiaries. Bank of Stanly consolidates the
Strategic Alliance Corporation and BOS Agency, Inc. each of which are
wholly-owned by the Bank.

The information contained in the consolidated financial statements is unaudited.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and all
material adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results of interim
periods have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire
year. Management is not aware of economic events, outside influences or changes
in concentrations of business that would require additional clarification or
disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. Certain prior period
amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications.

Note 3 - Comprehensive Income

On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130). This
pronouncement establishes standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements.
Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity during a period for
non-owner transactions and is divided into net income and other comprehensive
income. Other comprehensive income includes revenues, expenses, gains and losses
that are excluded from earnings under current accounting standards. This
statement does not change or modify the reporting or display in the statement of
operations. SFAS No. 130 is effective for the Company for interim and annual
periods beginning on or after December 15, 1997. Comparative financial
statements for earlier periods are required to reflect retroactive applications
of this statement. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, total
comprehensive income, consisting of net income and unrealized securities gains
and losses, net of taxes, was $1,086 and $965, respectively. For the three
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income was $413
and $371, respectively.

Note 4 - Per Share Data

On July 21, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock
split, effected in the form of a 100% dividend, whereby all shareholders
received an additional share of common stock for each share of stock currently
held. The dividend was paid on August 20, 1998 to shareholders of record on
August 4, 1998. On September 21, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved
a new common stock offering at a price of $5.50 per share pursuant to
nontransferable subscription rights to shareholders of the Company as of August
28, 1998 for the first 30 days of the offering. Any remaining shares are being
offered to the public at the same price. A total of 72,611 shares had been
subscribed as of September 30, 1998. All information presented in the
accompanying

                                       7

<PAGE>

interim consolidated financial statements regarding earnings per share and
weighted average number of shares outstanding has been computed given effect to
this stock dividend and the common stock subscribed.


Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
- -------------------------------------------------
The bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the
normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and
standby letters of credit. These instruments involve elements of credit risk in
excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying financial statements.


The Bank's risk of loss with the unfunded loans and lines of credit or standby
letters of credits is represented by the contractual amount of these
instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments under
such instruments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The amount of
collateral obtained, if any, is based on management's credit evaluation of the
borrower. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being
drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future
cash requirements. Credit card commitments are unsecured. At September 30, 1998,
outstanding financial instruments who contract amounts represent credit risk
were approximately:

                Commitments to extend credit           $14,459,000
                Credit card commitments                  3,400,000
                Standby letters of credit                  767,000
                                                      ------------
                                                       $18,626,000
                                                      ============

Contingencies
- -------------
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal
proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such
proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the financial
statements.

Financial instruments with concentration of credit risk

The Bank makes commercial, agricultural, real estate mortgage, home equity and
consumer loans primarily in Stanly County. A substantial portion of the Bank's
customers' abilities to honor their contracts is dependent on the business
economy in Albemarle, North Carolina and surrounding areas. Although the Bank's
loan portfolio is diversified, there is a concentration of mortgage loans in the
portfolio. The Bank's policies for real estate lending require collateralization
with 20% equity or that the loan be underwritten to conform to FannieMae
guidelines that would allow securitization and/or sale of the loans. Lending
policy for all loans requires that they be supported by sufficient cash flows.
Credit losses related to this real estate concentration are consistent with
credit losses experienced in the portfolio as a whole.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

Overview

Uwharrie Capital Corp, (the Company) was incorporated as Stanly Capital Corp
under the laws of the State of North Carolina as a one bank holding company for
Bank of Stanly (the Bank) in July 1993. The Company changed its name to Uwharrie
Capital Corp in April 1997 to broaden its community perspective and expand its
vision beyond its current service area in Stanly County to the Uwharrie Lakes
region, consisting of a contiguous seven county area in our state.

The Bank was incorporated in 1983 and since commencement of its operations in
January 1984, has engaged in the retail and commercial banking business through
its five offices located in Stanly County, North Carolina. Bank of Stanly
competes with five other commercial banks, a savings bank and a credit union in
its service area, primarily for lending activities and deposit customers. The
Bank enjoys a good reputation as a community focused financial institution, and
has been successful in achieving substantial growth in a market that has not
displayed a significant amount of growth potential.

The Company's financial condition and results of operation are presented in the
following narrative and incorporated tables. References to changes in assets and
liabilities represent end of period balances unless otherwise noted.


Earnings

The third quarter of 1998 reflected good operating results with net income of
$323 thousand, an increase of 12.9% when compared to the third quarter of 1997.
This improvement can be primarily attributed to an increase in net interest
income due to growth in the loan portfolio and a relatively stable net interest
margin.

Results for the first nine months of 1998 reflect net earnings of $980 thousand
or $.21 per share, after giving effect to the two-for-one stock split declared
by the Board of Directors on July 21, 1998. This compares to income of $912
thousand or $.20, as restated, for the same period in 1997. An increase of $416
thousand in net interest income in the nine-month period was largely offset by
an increase of $317 thousand in personnel costs.


Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the gross profit from the lending and investment
activities of a banking organization and is the most significant factor
affecting the earnings of the Company. It is the amount by which interest
generated by earnings assets exceeds the cost of funds supporting them.

The two primary earning assets are loans and investment securities. Income
generated from these assets is a function of their quality, growth and yield.
Growth reflected in earning assets was primarily the result of demand for
quality loans as average loans increased by $8.6 million or 8.1%. Average
investment securities increased $979 thousand or 4.9%. Interest income increased
$644 thousand, representing an increase of 7.9% when comparing these periods.

The cost of funding sources, primarily deposits and other borrowings, increased
$228 thousand or 6.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 due to an
increased volume of average interest-bearing liabilities of $8.7 million.

                                       9
<PAGE>

The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 4.23% in
1997 to 4.18% in 1998. Interest-bearing deposits as a percent of total
interest-bearing liabilities was 90.8% at September 30, 1998 compared to 85.9%
at September 30, 1997.

Net interest income increased $416 thousand or 9.1% when comparing the nine
month periods presented, attributable to an increased volume of interest earning
assets. The net interest margin increased three basis points from 4.72% in the
first nine months of 1997 to 4.75% in the current period.

The following tables present average balance sheets and a net interest income
analysis for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

Asset Quality

Management considers the Company's asset quality to be of primary importance.
The loan portfolio is analyzed periodically in an effort to identify potential
problems before they actually occur. An allowance for loan losses, which is
utilized to absorb actual losses in the loan portfolio, is maintained at a level
sufficient to provide for estimated potential charge-offs of non-collectible
loans. The Company uses a rating method to determine an adequate level of
provision for loan losses which additionally provides early detection of problem
loans. This identification

                                       10

<PAGE>

process begins with management's assessment of credit reviews, payment histories
of borrowers, loan-to-value ratio, and identified weakness in the credit. The
loans are graded and management establishes a standard percentage to reserve for
each rating. Included in the calculation are loans previously identified by
examiners as loss, doubtful or substandard. The Company's allowance for loan
losses is analyzed quarterly by management.

The provision for loan losses represents a charge against income in an amount
necessary to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level. The monthly
provision for loan losses may fluctuate based on the results of this analysis.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, a total of $87 thousand
in loan loss provision expense was recognized, compared to $123 thousand for
this period in 1997. Charge-offs, net of recoveries, for the nine months
September 30, 1998 totaled $28 thousand, reflecting a relatively low ratio to
average loans of .02%.

The following table contains a summary of the allowance for loan losses,
including the amount of charge-offs and recoveries by loan type for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans, accruing loans contractually
past due 90 days or more, restructured loans, other real estate, and other real
estate under contract for sale. Loans are placed on non-accrual when management
has concerns relating to the ability to collect the loan principal and interest,
and generally when such loans are 90 days or more past due.

While non-performing assets represent potential losses to the Company,
management does not anticipate any aggregate material losses since most loans
are believed to be adequately secured. Management believes the allowance for
loan losses is sufficient to absorb known risks in the portfolio. No assurance
can be given that economic conditions will not adversely affect borrowers and
result in increased losses.

The following table summarizes non-performing assets by type at the September
30, 1998 and 1997. Other than the amounts listed, the were no other loans that
(i) represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably
expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital
resources or (ii) represent material credits about which management has
information that causes them to have serious doubts as to the ability of such
borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

</TABLE>


Noninterest Income and Expense

Income from service charges and other fees produced earnings of $351 and $346
thousand for the third quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively.

For this same period, noninterest expenses increased by $118 thousand or 8.1%.
Salaries and benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased
by $89 thousand. All other expenses as a group increased by $29 thousand when
comparing results of the third quarter of 1998 to the same three month period of
1997.

For the nine months, total noninterest income amounted to $1,128 thousand
compared to $1,095 thousand for 1998 and 1997, respectively. Noninterest expense
for these periods was $4.6 million compared to $4.2 million, respectively, an
increase of $391 thousand or 9.3%. Of this increase, $317 thousand was
attributable to increased personnel costs incurred due to additional staff to
support the Company's growth, normal salary adjustments and associated benefit
costs.


Income Tax Expense

Income taxes computed at the statutory rate are reduced primarily by the
eligible amount of interest earned on state and municipal securities. Income tax
expense calculated to date in 1998 totaled $446 thousand, an effective tax rate
of 31.3% of pretax income compared to $420 thousand in 1997, which reflected an
effective rate of 31.5%.


Financial Condition and Capital Ratios

As of September 30, 1998 total assets were $154.7 million, an improvement of
8.5% over September 30, 1997. The Company has experienced steady growth in loans
which increased from $109.8 million at September 30, 1997 to $119.3 million on
September 30, 1998, reflecting growth of 8.7%. Asset quality remains good as
evidenced by past due loan percentages, loan loss experience and management's
rating of the loan portfolio.

Shareholders' equity increased from $12.5 million at December 31, 1997 to $14.1
million at September 30, 1998, principally due to net income of $980 thousand
and $399 relating to common stock subscriptions received during the period.

Banks and bank holding companies, as regulated institutions, must meet required
levels of capital. The FDIC and the Federal Reserve, the primary regulators of
the Bank and the Company, have adopted minimum capital regulations or guidelines
that categorize components and the level of risk associated with various types
of assets. Financial institutions are expected to maintain a level of capital
commensurate with the risk profile assigned to its

                                       12

<PAGE>

assets in accordance with those guidelines. Both the Company and the Bank have
maintained capital levels exceeding minimum levels for "well capitalized banks
and bank holding companies, as reflected in the following table.

Liquidity

The Company's liquidity management objectives are to provide for deposit
withdrawals and maturing debt obligations, to provide a reliable source of
funding to borrowers, to fund operations on a cost effective basis, and to
capitalize on opportunities for expansion. Management believes that sufficient
resources are available to meet the Company's liquidity objectives through its
debt maturity structure, holdings of liquid assets and access to additional
liquidity through a variety of funding vehicles.

The Company's primary sources of internally generated funds are principal and
interest payments on loans, cash flows generated from operations and cash flow
generated by investments. Growth in deposits is typically the primary source of
fundsfor loan growth.

The Company has multiple funding sources that can be used to increase liquidity
and provide additional financial flexibility. These sources consist primarily of
established federal funds lines with correspondent banks aggregating $15.5
million at September 30, 1998 and the ability to borrow up to $30.0 million from
the Federal Home Loan Bank, access to borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank
discount window, and the sale of securities under agreements to repurchase and
issue of commercial paper. Total debt from these sources aggregated $11.4
million at September 30, 1998, compared to $16.4 million at September 30, 1997.

Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a
material effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations.


Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates.
The Company's market risk primarily stems from interest rate risk, the potential
economic loss due to future changes in interest rates, which is inherent in
lending and deposit gathering activities. The Company's objective is to manage
the mix of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities to moderate interest rate
risk and stabilize the net interest margin which enhancing probability.

Asset/Liability and Interest Rate Risk Management

The major component of income for Uwharrie Capital Corp is net interest income,
the difference between income earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities.
This differential (or margin) can vary over time as changes in interest rates
occur. Therefore, a primary objective of interest rate sensitivity management is
to ensure the stability and quality of the Company's primary earning component,
net interest income.

This process involves monitoring the Company's balance sheet in order to
determine the potential impact that changes in the interest rate environment
would have on net interest income. Rate sensitive assets and liabilities have
interest rates which are subject to change within a specific time period, due to
either maturity or contractual agreements that allow the instruments to reprice
prior to maturity. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to ensure that
both assets and liabilities react to changes in interest rates within a similar
time period, thereby minimizing the risk to net interest income.

To identify interest rate sensitivity, a common measure is a gap analysis which
reflects the difference or gap between rate sensitive assets and liabilities
over various time periods. While management compiles and reviews this
information, it has implemented the use of a comprehensive simulation model
which calculates expected net interest income based on projected
interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and interest rates and
provides a more relevant view of interest rate risk than traditional gap tables.
The simulation allows comparison of flat, rising and falling rate scenarios to
determine sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates and identify
trends that may affect overall interest income.

Interest rate risk management and liquidity management are both a part of the
Company's asset/liability management process. The primary oversight of
asset/liability management rests with the Company's Asset Liability Management
Committee (ALCO) , comprised of members of executive and senior management of
the Company and the Bank. This Committee meets on a regular basis to review
asset liability management activities, and monitor market changes in interest
rates and assist with pricing loans and deposit products, consistent with
funding source needs and asset growth projections. The ALCO Committee reports to
the Board of Directors.


Accounting and Regulatory Matters

Management is not aware of any know trends, events, uncertainties or current
recommendations by regulatory authorities that will have or that are reasonably
likely to have a material effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources,
or other operations.


Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Inflation affects financial institutions in ways that are different from most
commercial and industrial companies, which have significant investments in fixed
assets and inventories. The effect of inflation on interest rates can materially
impact bank operations, which rely on net interest margins as a major source of
earnings. Noninterest expenses, such as salaries and wages, occupancy and
equipment cost are also negatively impacted by inflation.



Year 2000 Compliance

The "Year 2000" issue confronting the Company and its customers, suppliers,
customers' suppliers and competitors centers on the inability of computer
systems to recognized the Year 2000. If not adequately addressed, the Year 2000
matter could result in a significant adverse impact on products, services and
the competitive condition of the Company.

                                       14

Financial institution regulators have recently increased their focus on Year
2000 compliance issues, issuing guidance concerning the responsibilities of
senior management and directors. The Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council ("FFIEC") has issued several interagency statements on Year 2000 Project
Management Awareness. These statements require financial institutions to, among
other things, examine the Year 2000 implications of reliance on vendors, data
exchange and potential impact on customers, suppliers and borrowers. These
statements also require each federally regulated financial institution to survey
its exposure, measure its risk and prepare a plan in order to solve the Year
2000 issue. In addition, the federal banking regulators have issued safety and
soundness guidelines to be followed by insured depository institutions, such as
the Bank, to assure resolution of any Year 2000 problems. The federal banking
agencies have asserted that Year 2000 testing and certification is a key safety
and soundness issue in conjunction with regulatory exams, and thus an
institution's failure to address appropriately the Year 2000 issue could result
in supervisory action, including such enforcement actions as the reduction of
the institution's supervisory ratings, the denial of applications for approval
of a merger or acquisition, or the imposition of civil money penalties.

In order to address the Year 2000 issue and to minimize its potential adverse
impact, management has begun a process to identify areas that will be affected
by the Year 2000, assess their potential impact on operations, monitor the
progress of third party software vendors in addressing the matter, test changes
provided by these vendors, and develop contingency plans for any critical
systems which are not effectively reprogrammed. The plan is divided into the
five phases: (1) awareness, (2) assessment, (3) renovations, (4) validation, and
(5) implementation.

The Company has substantially completed the first two phases of the plan and has
made significant progress in phases three and four. Because the Company
outsources its item processing operations to a service provider which is jointly
owned with another Bank, The Company's Year 2000 compliance is being closely
coordinated with that of the service provider.

The Company does not currently expect that the cost of its Year 2000 compliance
program will be material to its financial condition or results of operations,
and expects that it will satisfy such compliance program without material
disruption of its operations. In the event that the Company's significant
suppliers do not successfully and timely achieve Year 2000 compliance, the
Company's business, results of operations or financial condition could be
adversely affected.
