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 June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the consolidated  statements
of income for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1997 and June 30,  1996,
and the consolidated  statements of stockholders'  equity and cash flows for the
six months ended June 30, 1997, and June 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.

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.
<PAGE>
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.

For other accounting  policies,  refer to the financial  statements filed in the
form 10-KSB for the year-end December 31, 1996.

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.
<PAGE>
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 June 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, the Bank had  commitments  to make loans totaling  $5,576,000
and $1,029,000 and unused lines of credit totaling  $14,546,000 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 June 30,  1997,  pays at the rate of
5.81%.  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 June 30, 1997,
pays at the rate of 5.78%.  Net interest  income for the period  ending June 30,
1997 was $12,044. 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 June 30, 1997 was
$15,967.

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 June 30, 1997 is $8,293.

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 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  $75,261,756 and $78,827,000 at June 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
$1,035,000 and $5,165,000 at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996,  respectively.
The remaining  balance 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 June 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 $28.6 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 19.6% 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 change in this dollar amount is partly the result of the  management's
decision  to  protect  against  falling  rates by  purchasing  $7.0  million  in
fixed-rate  mortgage backed securities  funded by three-month  Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB)  advances and holding in portfolio $2.0 million in saleable  15-year
mortgages  (which  typically  payoff in five to seven  years).  Also much of the
Bank's loan asset  growth has  occurred in loans  maturing or  repricing  beyond
one-year.  In  addition,  on July 23,  1997,  the Bank  purchased a  $10,000,000
notional  amount  interest  rate  ceiling  with a strike rate of 6.5% to protect
against rising rates.  The Bank would further benefit by its interest rate floor
agreement in a falling rate  scenario.  Management  feels that if rates decrease
causing prime-based loans to immediately reprice downward,  the Bank will not be
able to drop rates  correspondingly on its fixed-rate  passbook and NOW accounts
and MMDA  accounts,  a large portion of which are currently  carried in the "one
year or less" column in the gap  calculation.  If rates increase,  the spread on
the new  investments  would  narrow,  however,  increases in rates on fixed-rate
liabilities  would lag, thereby  mitigating the affect on net interest  margins.
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).
<PAGE>
The  following  table sets  forth the  amounts  of  interest-earning  assets and
interest-bearing  liabilities outstanding at June 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  $20.2  million  at June 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 $28.2 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 14.1.

III.     Financial Condition

Total assets increased $11.5 million or 8.6% to $145.9 million at June 30, 1997.
This was  primarily  attributable  to an increase in the loan  portfolio of $9.6
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
$2.6 million in principal payments on existing mortgage-backed  securities and a
$2.5 million  government agency note was called. 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  $4.6 million or 4.2%.  Most of the  decrease,  which
occurred in  transaction  accounts,  was seasonal and due to  inordinately  high
balances at December 31, 1996.  However, a portion of the decrease is the result
of customers  moving their  balances to fixed-rate  certificate  of deposit (CD)
accounts.  At the same time some  current CD  customers  are 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 June 30, 1997 totaling $28.4 million includes $26.5 million of
fixed-rate  borrowings and $1.9 million of  variable-rate  daily borrowings from
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.  The  fixed-rate  borrowings  mature $16.5
million within the next six months and $10.0 million in 1998 and beyond.

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,  $3.0  million  are  variable-rate   securities  adjusting
annually. The remaining securities are fixed-rate in nature.

Non-performing  loans at June 30, 1997  increased by $606,000 to  $2,501,000  or
2.3% 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  and/or  loans  carrying  SBA  or  Finance   Authority  of  Maine  (FAME)
guarantees.  Currently, the SBA, VA or FAME guarantee $503,000 of the $2,501,000
total.  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  $500,709  and   $1,304,000   at  December  31,  1996  and  June  30,  1997,
respectively.

IV.      Comparison of Operating Results

The Company  reported  net income of $351,000 for the  three-month  period ended
June 30, 1997,  which represents a $56,000 increase from the $295,000 net income
reported for the  comparable  three-month  period in 1996.  Net interest  income
after  provision  for loan losses  increased  by $123,000 or 9.7%.  Non-interest
income increased by $38,000 before removing the effect of a $46,000 loss in 1996
due  to  the  default  of a  Government  National  Mortgage  Association  (GNMA)
Mortgage-backed  security.  Operating  expenses for the same comparable  periods
increased by $106,000 or 9.8%.

The  increase in net  interest  income is  attributable  to an 8.8%  increase in
earning assets for the 1997 period  compared to 1996. In addition,  the interest
margin for the first quarter of 1997  increased  from that of the second quarter
of 1996 by approximately 9 basis points.
<PAGE>
Non-interest  income decreased  slightly for the second quarter of 1997---$8,000
or 2.8%---when  compared to 1996,  after removing the effect of the $46,000 loss
in 1996 on the GNMA security  default.  Fees on mortgage  servicing  declined by
$7,000 due to a decrease in the Bank's serviced loan portfolio.  Service charges
on  deposit  accounts  are  relatively  flat  due  to  the  unchanged  level  of
transaction accounts compared to the second quarter of 1996.

Non-interest  expense increased by $106,000 or 9.8% from the three-months  ended
June 30, 1996 to the  three-months  ended June 30,  1997.  Salaries and benefits
increased  by  $25,000  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 $20,000 in one-time promotional expenses for home equity lines of credit
and $11,000 in area market studies.

Income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $675,000  compared to $577,000
for the 1996 period - a 17.0% increase.

Net interest after provision for loan losses increased 10.5% from $2,500,000 for
the first half of 1996 to $2,763,000 for the first half of 1997. The increase is
attributable  to a 9% increase in  interest-earning  assets and a 17 basis point
increase in net interest margin.

Non-interest income was relatively  unchanged from the first half of 1996 to the
first half of 1997 after  removing the effect of the 1996 loss of $46,000 on the
default of a GNMA security.  Mortgage servicing income decreased $14,000 or 8.5%
from the six months  ended June 30,  1996 to the six months  ended June 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 income,  which includes gains on sales
of mortgage loans is down by $10,000 for the same reasons.

Non-interest  expense  increased  $173,000 or 7.9% for the  comparable  periods.
Salaries and benefits increased by $69,000 or 6.6% primarily due to the 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 $43,000
or 60% 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 26.6% 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 $67,000 or 10.2%
includes $28,000 in one-time costs of training,  $6,000 in equipment  write-offs
and $35,000 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.
<PAGE>
Stockholder's equity at June 30, 1997 was $10.5 million, an increase of $678,000
or 6.9% over total equity at December 31, 1996.  The increase  resulted from net
income of  $675,000  for the  period,  $110,000  in  adjustments  related to the
Employee  Stock  Ownership Plan (ESOP) and the Bank  Recognition  Retention Plan
(RRP),  less a $41,000  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 $678,000.  (Number of shares adjusted for three-for-one stock
split declared June 30, 1997)

At June 30, 1997,  the Company's  ratio of core capital to total assets  equaled
6.81%. This represents a decrease from the December 31, 1996 ratio of 6.85%.

At June 30, 1997, the Bank's ratio of core capital to total assets equaled 6.87%
compared to 6.68% at December 31, 1996.  The Bank's net income of $700,000  less
dividends of $40,000 accounted for the increase.

The ratio of the Bank's risk-based  capital to risk-weighted  assets at June 30,
1997 was 11.15%  compared to 11.28% at December  31,  1996.  Although the Bank's
risk-based capital increased by $1,013,000,  its risk-weighted  assets increased
by  $10,180,000  due to the  increase  in the  commercial  and home  equity loan
portfolios.  The Bank's  capital  ratios are derived from data  presented in the
Bank's FDIC call reports.
