                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore,  do not include all
disclosures  required by generally accepted  accounting  principles for complete
presentation  of  financial  statements.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  the
consolidated  financial  statements contain all adjustments  (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated  balance
sheets of KSB Bancorp,  Inc.,  (the  "Company") and Kingfield  Savings Bank (the
"Bank"),  as of  September  30, 1997 and December  31,  1996,  the  consolidated
statements of income for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1997 and
Septmber 30, 1996, and the consolidated  statements of stockholders'  equity and
cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and September 30, 1996.
All  significant  intercompany  transactions  and  balances  are  eliminated  in
consolidation. The income reported for 1997 period is not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by
charge-offs, net of recoveries. Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy
of the  allowance  is based on the Bank's past loan loss  experience,  known and
inherent  risks  in the  portfolio,  adverse  situations  that  may  affect  the
borrower's  ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying  collateral,
and current economic conditions.

FASB Standard No. 114 was adopted at January 1, 1995. Under this standard, loans
considered  to be impaired are reduced to the present  value of expected  future
cash flows or to the fair value of  collateral,  by  allocating a portion of the
allowance  for loan  losses  to such  loans.  If  these  allocations  cause  the
allowance  for loan losses to require an increase,  such increase is reported as
bad debt  expense.  The effect of adopting this standard is reported as bad debt
expense, and was not significant for 1995. The carrying values of impaired loans
are periodically adjusted to reflect cash payments,  revised estimates of future
cash flows, and increases in the present value of expected cash flows due to the
passage of time.  Cash  payments  representing  interest  income are reported as
such.  Other cash payments are reported as reductions in carrying  value,  while
increases due to changes in estimates of future  payments and due to the passage
of time  are  reported  as bad  debt  expense  and  decreases  are  reported  as
reductions in bad debt expense.

Loan Servicing  Rights:  The company  originates  mortgage loans for sale to the
secondary market, and sells the loans with servicing retained. Effective January
1, 1996,  the Company  adopted FASB  Statement 122 (FAS 122) in  accounting  for
mortgage  servicing  rights,  which requires  capitalizing the rights to service
originated  mortgage loans. Prior to adoption of FAS 122 only purchased mortgage
servicing rights were capitalized. Beginning in 1996, the total cost of mortgage
loans purchased or originated  with the intent to sell is allocated  between the
loan  servicing  right and the mortgage loan without  servicing,  based on their
relative fair values. The capitalized cost of loan servicing rights is amortized
in  proportion  to,  and over the  period of,  estimated  net  future  servicing
revenue.
<PAGE>
Mortgage   servicing  rights  are  periodically   evaluated  for  impairment  by
stratifying  them based on predominant  risk  characteristics  of the underlying
serviced loans,  such as loan type, term, and note rate.  Impairment  represents
the excess of cost of an individual  mortgage  servicing rights stratum over its
fair value, and is recognized through a valuation allowance.

Fair values for  individual  strata are based on the  present  value of estimate
future cash flows using a discount  rate  commensurate  with the risk  involved.
Estimates  of fair value  include  assumptions  about  prepayment,  default  and
interest rates, and other factors that are subject to change over time.  Changes
in these  underlying  assumptions  could cause the fair value of loan  servicing
rights,  and the related  valuation  allowance,  to change  significantly in the
future.

Investment  Securities:  Investment  securities  available  for sale  consist of
securities  that  the  Bank  anticipates  could  be made  available  for sale in
response  to changes  in market  interest  rates,  liquidity  needs,  changes in
funding  sources  and other  similar  factors.  These  assets  are  specifically
identified and are carried at fair value. Amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts are  recognized in interest  income using the interest  method over
the period to maturity. Unrealized holding gains and losses for these assets net
of related  income  taxes are excluded  from  earnings and are reported as a net
amount in a separate component of stockholders' equity. When a decline in market
value  is  considered  other  than  temporary,  the  loss is  recognized  in the
consolidated  statement of income,  resulting in the establishment of a new cost
basis  for the  security.  Mortgage-backed  securities  are  subject  to risk of
prepayment  which can affect the yields realized on the securities by increasing
or decreasing the period over which premiums and discounts are recognized.

FASB  Statement  125 (FAS 125),  "Accounting  for  Transfers  and  Servicing  of
Financial  Assets and  Extinguishment  of  Liabilities",  took effect January 1,
1997. The Company had no transactions  that fell under FAS 125,  therefore there
is no effect on the financial statements for 1997.

On June 30, 1997 FASB Statement 130 (FAS130),  "Reporting  Comprehensive Income"
was issued,  effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. It is
the  intent of the  Company to limit its  presentation  of such  information  to
disclosure only.

On June 30, 1997 FASB Statement 130 (FAS131),  "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information", was issued, effective for periods beginning
after  December  15,  1997.  It is  the  intent  of the  Company  to  limit  its
presentation of such information to disclosure only.

Note 3 - LOANS HELD FOR SALE

Mortgage  loans  originated  and intended for sale in the  secondary  market are
carried at the lower of cost or  estimated  market value in the  aggregate.  Net
unrealized losses are recognized in a valuation allowance by charges to income.

NOTE 4 - EXCESS OF COST OVER FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS ACQUIRED (Goodwill)

The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired in branch acquisitions
is amortized to expense using the straight line method over ten years.

NOTE 5 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The earnings per share  computation is based upon the weighted average number of
shares of stock outstanding  during the period.  Only ESOP shares that have been
committed to be released are considered  outstanding.  Effective August 12, 1996
the Company paid a 10% stock dividend.  Effective July 10, 1997 the Company paid
a  three-for-one  stock  split in the form of a 200% stock  dividend.  Per share
information is restated  retroactively  to reflect the dividends.  The Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board  recently  issued  FAS 128,  "Earnings  per  Share"
effective for years ending after  December 15, 1997. The Company does not expect
this statement to have a material effect on the financial statements in 1997.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Bank is a party to financial  instruments with off balance sheet risk in the
normal  course  of  business  to meet  financing  needs  of its  customers.  The
financial  instruments  include  commitments  to make loans and unused  lines of
credit. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to make loans and unused
lines of credit is represented by the contractual  amount of those  instruments.
The Bank follows the same credit policy to make such  commitments  as it follows
for those loans recorded in the financial statements.  At September 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, the Bank had  commitments  to make loans totaling  $4,183,000
and $1,029,000 and unused lines of credit totaling  $16,570,000 and $13,185,000,
respectively. Commitments to make loans may expire without being used, therefore
the amount does not necessarily represent future cash commitments.

Note 7 - INTEREST RATE SWAPS, FLOORS, CEILINGS

The Bank is a party to two  interest  rate swap  agreements.  The  first,  dated
November 1994, has a "notional amount" of $2,000,000 on which it is obligated to
pay interest based on the three-month LIBOR rate (LIBOR),  adjusting  quarterly,
and receives a fixed-rate payment.  The contract matures November 1997. The Bank
receives a fixed rate of 4.91% and, as of September  30, 1997,  pays at the rate
of 5.71%.  The second  agreement,  dated June 1996,  has a "notional  amount" of
$5,000,000  on  which  the  Bank is  obligated  to pay  interest  based on LIBOR
adjusting  quarterly,  and receives a fixed-rate payment.  This contract matures
June,  1999.  The Bank  receives a fixed-rate  of 6.63% and as of September  30,
1997,  pays at the rate of 5.71%.  Net  interest  income for the  period  ending
September  30, 1997 was $21,979.  The Bank has utilized  interest  rate swaps to
partially  protect its net interest income stream against the effects of falling
rates on prime-based  loans. The "notional" amount is a figure used to calculate
settlement  payments  and  does not  represent  exposure  to  credit  loss.  The
estimated  market value of the Bank's  interest rate swaps at September 30, 1997
was $38,182.
<PAGE>
The Bank is party to an interest rate floor  agreement in the notional amount of
$5,000,000, dated June 1996, whereby the Bank receives the difference between 6%
and the  three-month  LIBOR rate (LIBOR),  but pays nothing if LIBOR exceeds 6%.
The  contract  expires  June 1998.  The Bank paid a premium  of $22,500  for the
contract that is recognized into interest  income on a straight-line  basis over
the life of the contract.  The estimated  market value of the floor agreement as
of September 30, 1997 is $8,403.

In July 1997,  the Bank entered into an interest  rate ceiling  agreement in the
notional  amount of  $10,000,000  whereby the Bank pays nothing if LIBOR is less
than 6.50% but receives the difference  between LIBOR and 6.50% if LIBOR exceeds
6.50%.  The contract  expires July 1999. The Bank paid a premium of $33,000 that
will be  recognized  into income on a  straight-line  basis over the life of the
contract.  The estimated market value of the ceiling  agreement at September 30,
1997 is $19,541.  The Bank uses  interest  rate floor and ceiling  agreements to
partially  protect its net interest income stream against the effect of changing
interest rates on prime-based loans.

Note 8 - LOAN SERVICING

The unpaid  principal  balance of mortgage loans serviced for others,  which are
not included on the balance sheet,  was $75,073,000 and $78,827,000 at September
30, 1997 and  December 31,  1996,  respectively.  The balances of loans sold and
serviced for others related to servicing  rights that have been  capitalized was
$2,264,000  and  $5,165,000  at  September  30,  1997  and  December  31,  1996,
respectively.  The  remaining  balances of loans  serviced  for others also have
servicing  rights  associated with them;  however,  these servicing rights arose
prior to adoption of FAS 122, and accordingly,  have not been capitalized on the
balance sheet.

                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS
                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

I.       General

The Company's  results of operations  are dependent  primarily on the Bank.  The
Bank's  primary  source of earnings  is its net  interest  income,  which is the
difference  between the  interest  income  earned on its loans,  mortgage-backed
securities and investment  portfolio versus its cost of funds, which consists of
the interest paid on deposits and borrowings.

To a lesser extent but still  significant is the effect of the Bank's  secondary
mortgage  market  activities in which the Bank originates  residential  mortgage
loans for the secondary  mortgage market and subsequently  sells the loans while
retaining servicing rights and fees.

The Company's  operating expenses consist  principally of employee  compensation
and  benefits,   occupancy   and  equipment   expenses  and  other  general  and
administrative  expenses.  The Company's results of operations are significantly
affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in
market interest rates, as well as government  policies and actions of regulatory
authorities.

II.      Interest Rate Sensitivity

At September 30, 1997, the Bank's total interest-bearing liabilities maturing or
repricing  within one year exceeded total  interest-earning  assets  maturing or
repricing in the same period by $16.2 million before  applying the effect of the
interest  rate floor or the interest rate  ceiling.  This  represents a negative
one-year  cumulative  interest  rate  sensitivity  gap  ratio  of 10.8% of total
assets.  This  "negative"  gap  position  compares  to a  cumulative  "negative"
one-year gap position of $14.3  million or 10.7% of total assets at December 31,
1996. The "gap" measurement is based on an internal analysis by Bank management,
which includes subjective evaluation of the rate sensitivity of the Bank's money
market and other short-term deposit accounts,  and certain assumptions regarding
prepayments on the Bank's loan and mortgage-backed security portfolio. (Refer to
Interest rate sensitivity table which follows).

The  following  table sets  forth the  amounts  of  interest-earning  assets and
interest-bearing  liabilities  outstanding  at  September  30,  1997  which  are
anticipated by the Bank, based upon certain assumptions, to reprice or mature in
each of the future time periods  shown.  Except as stated  below,  the amount of
assets and liabilities  shown which reprice or mature during a particular period
were  determined  in  accordance  with the earlier of term to  repricing  or the
contractual terms of the asset or liability. Fixed-rate Passbook Savings and NOW
accounts,  which  totaled  $22.1 million at September 30, 1997 are assumed to be
withdrawn  at the annual  percentage  rates of 17% and 37%  respectively.  Money
market  accounts  are assumed to reprice in  three-months  or less.  Certificate
accounts are assumed to reprice at the date of contractual maturity.  Fixed-rate
mortgages totaling $29.1 million (included in the "Mortgage Loans" category) are
amortized using a constant prepayment rate ("CPR") of 8.0 which approximates the
Bank's prior  experience.  Fixed-rate  loans in "other loans" are amortized with
the  assumption  of no  prepayment.  Mortgage  backed  securities  are amortized
primarily using a CPR of 14.0.

III.     Financial Condition

Total assets increased $15.3 million or 11.4% to $149.7 million at September 30,
1997.  This was primarily  attributable  to an increase in the loan portfolio of
$15.8  million.   The  Bank  also  purchased  $7.0  million  in  mortgage-backed
securities as part of its  interest-rate  risk  strategy.  At the same time, the
Bank  received  $4.1 million in principal  payments on existing  mortgage-backed
securities and $3.0 million government agency notes were called or matured.  The
Bank put approximately  $2.0 million of saleable loans, most of which have terms
of 15 years or less, into its portfolio in March, 1997.

Total  deposits  decreased  $2.0  million or 1.8%.  Most of the  decrease is the
result of customers  moving funds out of CD's into other  investments and banks.
Deposits typically are replaced in the short-term by FHLB borrowings.

Borrowed  funds at September 30, 1997  totaling  $29.1  million  includes  $27.5
million  of  fixed-rate  borrowings  and $1.6  million  of  variable-rate  daily
borrowings  from the Federal  Home Loan Bank of Boston  (FHLB).  The  fixed-rate
borrowings  mature $18.5 million  within the next six months and $9.0 million in
1998 and beyond.

In October,  1997 the Company  entered into an agreement to purchase the Madison
branch of KeyBank of Maine. The branch currently has approximately $13.7 million
in deposits and $0.9 million in loans.  The net cash the Bank  receives  will be
used to pay down FHLB borrowings.

Investment  securities  To Be Held to Maturity  and  Available  for Sale consist
primarily of U.S.  Government-Agency and Agency-backed notes and Mortgage-backed
securities  which  are  predominantly  of the  type  issued  by U.S.  Government
agencies.  Of  these,  $2.8  million  are  variable-rate   securities  adjusting
annually. The remaining securities are fixed-rate in nature.

Non-performing  loans at September  30, 1997  increased to $2,007,000 or 1.8% of
total  loans,  compared to  $1,895,000,  or 1.9% of total loans at December  31,
1996. The current  balance is represented by loans  well-secured by real estate.
Also included in non-performing  loans are loans which are less than ninety days
past due, but whose interest is recognized on a cash basis only. These loans are
restructured loans or were non-accrual loans in the recent past and have not yet
demonstrated the ability to stay current. Amounts of such loans are $500,706 and
$898,000 at December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997, respectively. Not included
in the  September  30, 1997 balance is $291,944 of state and federal  government
guaranteed portions of non-accrual loans.

IV.      Comparison of Operating Results

The Company  reported  net income of $448,000 for the  three-month  period ended
September 30, 1997, which  represents a $166,000  increase from the $282,000 net
income reported for the comparable  three-month  period in 1996. The 1996 period
included a $115,000 (net of income taxes) special FDIC assessment.  Net interest
income  after  provision  for  loan  losses  increased  by  $169,000  or  12.8%.
Non-interest  income  increased  slightly.   Operating  expenses  for  the  same
comparable  periods  increased by $92,000 or 8.9% after  removing  from the 1996
period the effect of the special FDIC assessment of $175,000 (pre-tax).

The  increase in net interest  income is  attributable  to an 11.1%  increase in
earning assets for the 1997 period compared to 1996. The interest margin for the
third  quarter  of 1997  decreased  from  that of the third  quarter  of 1996 by
approximately 10 basis points from 4.66% to 4.56%. The provision for loan losses
for the curent period was $30,000 less than that of the third quarter 1996.

Non-interest  income increased  slightly for the third quarter of 1997---$10,000
or 3.4%---when  compared to 1996.  Service charges on deposit accounts decreased
due to the high  level of fees for  non-sufficient  funds  checks in the  second
quarter of 1996. Loan sales increased in the 1997 period as compared to the 1996
third quarter resulting in an increase in Fees and Net Gains on Loans Sold.

Non-interest  expense  increased by $92,000 or 8.9% from the three-months  ended
September 30, 1996 to the  three-months  ended September 30, 1997 after removing
the one-time $175,000 special FDIC assessment in September,  1996.  Salaries and
benefits increased by $36,000 due to an increase in the Bank's ESOP expense that
increases  when the value of the  Company's  stock  increases.  The  increase in
equipment   expense  reflects  the  Bank's   investment  in  equipment  to  meet
technological demands and reduce future operating costs. Other expenses for 1997
include  $12,000 in  one-time  promotional  expenses  for home  equity  lines of
credit, $10,000 in training and $10,000 in technology consulting.

Income for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 was $1,123,000  compared to
$859,000 for the 1996 period - a 30.7%  increase.  The increase  would have been
$149,000 or 15.3% without the $115,000 (after-tax) effect of the September, 1996
FDIC assessment.

Net interest after provision for loan losses increased 11.3% from $3,823,000 for
the first three  quarters of 1996 to $4,256,000  for the first three quarters of
1997.  The  increase is  attributable  to a 10.0%  increase in  interest-earning
assets and an 8 basis point increase in net interest margin, offset by a $60,000
increase in the  provision for loan losses.  Based on the current  makeup of the
deposits of KeyBank's Madison branch which is expected to be purchased effective
in March,  1998 the Bank's margin would improve as a result of replacing  higher
cost FHLB borrowings with lower cost acquired deposits.

Non-interest  income  was  relatively  unchanged  from  the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996 to the 1997 period after removing the effect of the 1996 loss
of  $47,000  on  the  default  of a GNMA  security.  Mortgage  servicing  income
decreased  $17,000 or 7.0% from the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 to the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997  due to a  decreasing  loan  servicing
portfolio.  Decreased  mortgage loan demand and  management's  decision to place
$2.0 million of saleable loans into portfolio have contributed to this decrease.
Other mortgage-related  income is up by $17,000 for the nine month period due to
a recent burst of mortgage activity and third quarter loan sales.

Non-interest expense increased $92,000 for the comparable periods but would have
been up  $267,000  or 8.3% if the 1996  period  had not  included  the  $175,000
(pre-tax) FDIC assessment.  Salaries and benefits  increased by $105,000 or 6.8%
primarily  due to an increase in ESOP  expense that is based on the market value
of the Company's stock. The difference  between the stock value and its original
issue price is used to calculate the ESOP expense.  The difference increases the
Company's paid-in capital resulting in no net change in total capital. (There is
no tax benefit to the ESOP  transaction.) The increase in ESOP expense from 1996
to  1997 is  $66,000  or 63% of the  total  salary  and  benefit  increase.  The
remainder  of the  salaries  increase  is due to normal  pay  increases,  salary
restructuring and increases in payments under bonus plans. The 20.6% increase in
equipment  expense reflects the Bank's investment in equipment and technology to
meet future  demands and reduce future  operating  costs.  The increase in other
expenses of $123,000 or 13.3%  includes  $38,000 in one-time  costs of training,
$20,000 in technology  consulting and $50,000 in  promotional  expenses for home
equity lines of credit.

V.       Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary  objective of the Bank's  mortgage-backed  securities and investment
securities  portfolios is to provide for  liquidity  needs of the Company and to
contribute  to  profitability  by  providing  a stable  cash flow of  dependable
earnings.  It is not the  intent  of  management  to sell  these  securities  to
generate  liquidity.  The Bank has in place available lines of credit secured by
these  securities.  In addition,  the Bank  currently has access to  substantial
additional funds through its borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Boston.

Stockholder's  equity at September  30, 1997 was $11.0  million,  an increase of
$1,226,000  or 12.5%  over total  equity at  December  31,  1996.  The  increase
resulted from net income of $1,123,000  for the period,  $175,000 in adjustments
related to the Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan (ESOP) and the Bank  Recognition
Retention Plan (RRP), less a $90,000 dividend paid to stockholders plus a $4,000
return of accumulated  dividends on unallocated  shares of the ESOP and RRP. The
Company  issued  17,820 new shares  under stock  option  plans  resulting  in an
addition to paid-in capital of $54,000.  It subsequently  repurchased  12,870 of
the shares  while  retiring  4,035  shares  costing  $124,000,  bringing the net
increase  in  reported  equity to  $1,226,000.  (Number of shares  adjusted  for
three-for-one  stock split  declared June 30,  1997).  There was also an $84,000
increase in the unrealized gain/loss on available for sale securities.

At  September  30,  1997,  the  Company's  ratio of core capital to total assets
equaled 6.99%.  This  represents an increase from the December 31, 1996 ratio of
6.85%.  In October,  1997,  the Company  entered an  agreement  to purchase  the
Madison  branch of Key Bank of Maine to purchase  $13.7  million in deposits and
$0.9  million  in  loans.  The net cash  received  will be used to pay down FHLB
borrowings so no material  increase in the Company assets will result.  However,
based on current  balances  and the premium  payment the Company  agreed on, the
Company's core capital ratio would fall to approximately 6.25%. This calculation
does  not  include  any  expected  increases  in  capital  between  now  and the
anticipated March, 1998 closing of the sale.

At September 30, 1997,  the Bank's ratio of core capital to total assets equaled
6.79%  compared  to 6.68% at  December  31,  1996.  The  Bank's  net  income  of
$1,150,000 accounted for the increase.

The ratio of the Bank's risk-based capital to risk-weighted  assets at September
30, 1997 was 11.02% compared to 11.28% at December 31, 1996. Although the Bank's
risk-based capital increased by $1,595,000,  its risk-weighted  assets increased
by  $16,563,000  due to the  increase  in the  commercial  and home  equity loan
portfolios.  If this calculation were done pro forma assuming the aforementioned
branch  acquisition,  risk-based  capital ratio would be approximately  10%. The
Bank's  capital  ratios are derived from data  presented in the Bank's FDIC call
reports.
