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.

Results of operations and the Company's financial condition 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 first quarter of 1998 reflected good operating results with net income of
$318 thousand or $.14 per share, an increase of 3.2% when compared to the first
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.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The largest contributor to earnings, net interest income, increased by $168
thousand or 11.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same
period a year earlier. The major components of net interest income are income
earned on investments and loans less interest expense on deposits and
borrowings.

Income on loans of $2.4 million for the three month period, reflected an
improvement of 10.7% over the earnings of $2.2 million during the same period in
1997. Investment securities provided an additional $12 thousand in earnings in
1998 compared to 1997.

Interest expense on deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements,
federal funds purchased and borrowed funds increased by $79 thousand or 6.8%
comparing these periods due to the higher levels of interest-bearing liabilities
needed to fund asset growth.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

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 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.

Charge-offs, net of recoveries, for the first three months of 1998 totaled $26
thousand, reflecting a relatively low ratio to average loans of .02%.

During the three month period ended March 31, 1998, a total of $14 thousand in
loan loss provision expense was recognized, compared to $38 thousand for this
period in 1997. The transactions in the allowance for loan losses are summarized
in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.


NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

Total noninterest income from service charges and other fees produced earnings
of $348 thousand for this quarter compared to $355 thousand in the prior period,
a modest decrease of 2.0%.

For this same period, noninterest expenses increased by $167 thousand or 12.6%.
Salaries and benefits, the largest component of noninterest expense, increased
by $132 thousand due to the addition of an executive officer, normal salary
adjustments and increase in associated benefit costs. All other expenses as a
group increased by $35 thousand when comparing results of the first quarter of
1998 to the same three month period of 1997.


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 totals $140 thousand, an effective tax rate
of 30.6% compared to $132 thousand in 1997, reflecting an effective rate of
30.0% of pretax income.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RATIOS

As of March 31, 1998 total assets were $147.9 million, an improvement of 6.6%
over March 31, 1997. The Company has experienced steady growth of 9.1% in loans
which increased from $103.9 million at March 31, 1997 to $113.4 million on March
31, 1998, reflecting growth of 9.1%. Asset quality remains good as evidenced by
past due loan percentages, loan loss experience and management's rating of the
loan portfolio.

The Company continues to maintain strong capital ratios that will support
additional asset growth. As of March 31, 1998, the leverage ratio calculated
with regulatory Tier I capital as a percentage of average for the quarter assets
was 8.63%, which compares favorably to the regulatory capital requirement. Total
capital to risk weighted assets was 13.86% at March 31, 1998.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity, the ability to raise cash when needed without adversely impacting
profits, is managed primarily by the selection of asset mix and the maturity mix
of liabilities. Maturities and the marketability of securities and other funding
sources provide a source of liquidity to meet deposit withdrawals.

Other funding sources currently include $13.5 million in federal funds lines of
credit from correspondent banks and a $30 million line of credit from the
Federal Home Loan Bank, less current advance levels of borrowing from these
sources of $7.2 million. Growth in deposits is typically the primary source of
funding for loans, supported by credit available from the Federal Home Loan Bank
for short-term and long-term borrowings.


INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

The major component of income for Uwharrie Capital Corp is net interest income,
the difference between yield earned on assets and interest paid on liabilities.
This differential (or margin) can vary over time as changes in interest rates
occur. The volatility of changes in this differential can be measured by the
timing (or repricing) difference between maturing assets and liabilities.

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 reviews this information, it has
implemented the use of a 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.

The Asset Liability Management Committee monitors market changes in interest
rates and assists with pricing loans and deposit products consistent with
funding source needs and asset growth projections.
