PART II.

Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference

     All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections
13(a) and (c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date
hereof and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold
or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference to this registration
statement and be part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents.  Any statement contained in this Registration
Statement, or in a document incorporated by reference herein,
shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained
herein, or in any other subsequently filed document which also is
incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes such
statement.  Any such statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute
a part of this Registration Statement.

     The following documents filed or to be filed with the
Commission are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement:

     (a)     The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 1995, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 31, 1996.

     (b)     The Company's Proxy Statement relating to the

Item 4.  Description of Securities

     Not applicable.

<PAGE>

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     None.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Directors and officers of the Company are indemnified and
held harmless against liability to the fullest extent permissible
by the general corporation law of Delaware as it currently exists
or as it may be amended, provided any such amendment provides
broader indemnification provisions than currently exists.  This
indemnification applies to the directors who administer the 1993
Incentive Plan and 1993 Stock Option Plan.

     The terms of the indemnification are set forth in the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation.  The indemnification
applies unless the director did not meet the standards of conduct
which make it permissible under the  general corporation law of
Delaware for the Company to indemnify the director for the amount
claimed, but the burden of proving such defense is on the
Company.

     The Company is also permitted under the Certificate of
Incorporation to maintain directors' and officers' liability
insurance covering its directors and officers and has obtained a
directors' and officers' liability and corporation reimbursement
policy which (subject to certain limitations and deductibles) (i)
insures officers and directors of the Company against loss
arising from certain claims made against them by reason of their
being such directors or officers; and (ii) insures the Company
against loss which it may be required or permitted to pay as
indemnification to its directors and officers for certain claims.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling the Company, the Company has been informed
that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed.

     Not applicable.

Item 8.  List of Exhibits.

     The following exhibits are filed with or incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement on Form S-8:

   4.1   KSB Bancorp, Inc. 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan

         Company's May 10, 1994 annual meeting of stockholders).

   5     Opinion of Luse Lehman Gorman Pomerenk & Schick, A

   23.2  Consent of Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker.

<PAGE>

Item 9.  Undertakings

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     1.     To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement to include any material information with respect to the
Registration Statement not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information
in this Registration Statement;

     2.     That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof;

     3.     To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the 1993 Incentive Stock
Option Plan or 1993 Stock Option Plan for Outside Directors; and

     4.     That, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference
in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
Registration Statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     5.     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
