                   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 June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the consolidated  statements
of income for the six  months  ended June 30,  1998 and June 30,  1997,  and the
consolidated  statements of stockholders' equity,  comprehensive income and cash
flows for the six months ended June 30, 1998, and June 30, 1997. All significant
intercompany  transactions  and balances are  eliminated in  consolidation.  The
income  reported for 1998 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.

Investment  Securities Available for Sale:  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
repayment  which can affect the yields  realized on the securities by increasing
or decreasing the period over which premiums and discounts are recognized.

For other accounting  policies,  refer to the financial  statements filed in the
form 10-KSB for the year-end December 31, 1997.

NOTE 2 - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY/EARNINGS PER SHARE

At December 31, 1997,  the Company  adopted SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings Per Share."
SFAS 128 specifies the computation and disclosure  requirements for earnings per
share for entities with  publicly  held common stock or potential  common stock.
The  effect  of  SFAS  No.  128  on the  Company's  financial  statements  is to
retroactively  present diluted earnings per share, in addition to basic earnings
per share already presented.
<PAGE>
The basic  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.  Potential common
stock is considered in the calculation of  weighted-average  shares  outstanding
for diluted  earnings per share.  In 1997, the Company  declared a three-for-one
stock split  effected in the form of a 200% stock  dividend.  Earnings  and cash
dividends  per  share  and   weighted-average   shares   outstanding  have  been
retroactively restated to reflect the stock dividend.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

NOTE 3 - ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Activity  in the  allowance  for loan  losses was as follows  for the six months
ended June 30, 1998:
 

     Balance at January 1, 1998                  $1,341,828

Note 4 - 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 5 - 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. In March,
1998 the Bank  acquired  the  Madison,  Maine  branch of KeyBank  of Maine.  The
acquisition  was  accounted  for under the  purchase  method of  accounting  for
business combinations. The following is a summary of the transaction:

                                                     ($ in 000's)

         Net cash received                             $ 14,632
                                                       ========

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, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, the Bank had  commitments  to make loans totaling  $8,738,775
and $2,731,000 and unused lines of credit totaling  $16,981,907 and $16,293,000,
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

The Bank is a party to an interest  rate swap  agreement  with the Federal  Home
Loan  Bank  of  Boston  dated  June  1996,  which  has a  "notional  amount"  of
$5,000,000. The Bank is obligated to pay interest based on the three-month LIBOR
rate  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,
1998, pays at the rate of 5.69%.  Net interest income for the period ending June
30, 1998 was  $19,403.  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 swap at June 30, 1998 was
$37,644.  The Bank was party to an interest rate floor agreement in the notional
amount of $5,000,000,  dated June 1996, whereby the Bank received the difference
between 6% and the  three-month  LIBOR rate,  but received  nothing if the LIBOR
rate exceeded 6%. The contract  expired June,  1998.  The Bank paid a premium of
$22,500  for the  contract  which  was  recognized  into  interest  income  on a
straight-line basis over the life of the contract. The Bank has an interest rate
cap in the notional amount of $10,000,000 on which it receives the excess of the
<PAGE>

three-month  LIBOR rate,  adjusted  quarterly,  over 6.50%. The cap matures July
1999.  The Bank paid a premium of $33,000  that is  recognized  into income on a
straight-line  basis over the life of the contract.  No interest income has been
received on the cap. The estimated  market value of the agreement as of June 30,
1998 is $591.  The Bank uses interest rate floor and cap agreements to partially
protect its net interest  income  stream  against the effect of falling 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  $71,745,281 and $75,111,000 at June 30,
1998 and December 31, 1997,  respectively.  Mortgage servicing rights of $38,456
and  $46,083  are   capitalized   at  December  31,  1997  and  June  30,  1998,
respectively,  and are included in other assets. The amortized cost approximates
fair value at June 30, 1998.

                       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.

In March, 1998 the Bank acquired the Madison,  Maine branch of KeyBank of Maine.
The  acquisition  was accounted for under the purchase  method of accounting for
business combinations. The following is a summary of the transaction:

                                                     Balance            Average
                                                   ($ in 000's)           Rate

                                                    --------             ------ 
         Loans acquired                             $    799             11.32%
         Fixed Assets                                    168
         Goodwill                                      1,089

         Savings/MMDA accounts                        (3,652)             2.01%

         Other Liabilities                               (23)
                                                     -------
         Net cash received                           $ 14,632
                                                     =======

Pursuant  to the  acquisition  of  cash  in the  transaction,  the  Bank  repaid
variable-rate daily borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB).

The branch is expected to produce  approximately  $330,000 in expenses including
the  amortization  of  goodwill.  It  is  expected  that  new  loan  production,
consisting mainly of conforming 1-4 family  residential  mortgage and commercial
real  estate  mortgages  will  increase  and that fee income  from core  deposit
related accounts will generate approximately $50,000 in annual income.

II.      Interest Rate Sensitivity

A number  of  measures  are  used to  monitor  and  manage  interest-rate  risk,
including  income  simulation  and  interest  sensitivity  (gap)  analyses.   An
income-simulation  model is the primary  tool used to assess the  direction  and
<PAGE>
magnitude of changes in net interest  income  resulting from changes in interest
rates.   Key   assumptions   in  the   model   include   prepayment   speeds  on
mortgage-related  assets;  cash flows and  maturities  of  derivative  and other
financial  instruments  held for purposes other than trading;  changes in market
conditions  on  loan  and  deposit  pricing;   deposit   sensitivity;   customer
preferences;  and management's  financial  capital plans.  These assumptions are
inherently  uncertain and, as a result,  the model cannot precisely estimate net
interest  income or  precisely  predict  the impact of higher or lower  interest
rates on net interest income.  Actual results will differ from simulated results
due to timing,  magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes and changes in
market conditions and management strategies, among other factors.

Based on the results of the  simulation  model as of July 31, 1998,  the Company
would  expect a  decrease  in net  interest  income  of  $33,000  or 0.5% of net
interest income if interest rates  gradually  decrease from current rates by 200
basis points over a 12-month  period,  and a decrease in net-interest  income of
$119,000 or 1.7% if interest rates gradually  increase from current rates by 200
basis points over a 12-month  period.  These  results are both within  Board-set
tolerance limits of 7.5%.

III.     Financial Condition

Total assets  increased  $5.0  million,  or, 3.3% to $157.7  million at June 30,
1998. This was primarily  attributable to an increase in loans  (including loans
to be sold) of $7.3 million.  During the same  six-month  period ending June 30,
1998 the Bank  received  $3.8 million in principal  payments on  mortgage-backed
securities.  The Bank's  acquisition  of $16.7  million of deposits  and $0.8 of
loans from KeyBank of Maine did not significantly add to total assets.  Net cash
of $14.6 million  received in the  transaction  was used to pay down  borrowings
from the FHLB.

Total deposits and other borrowed funds (which  consists of customer  repurchase
agreements,  or "sweep" accounts)  decreased $4.4 million or 4.2% after removing
the effect of the March deposit acquisition from KeyBank.  Most of the decrease,
which occurred in transaction accounts, was seasonal and due to high balances at
December 31, 1997. This was offset by an increase in Regular  Savings  accounts.
Certificates of deposit decreased $1.7 million or 3.0%.  Deposit  shortfalls are
typically are replaced in the short-term by FHLB borrowings.

Advances  from FHLB at June 30,  1998  totaling  $19.8  million  includes  $18.5
million  of  fixed-rate  borrowings  and $1.3  million  of  variable-rate  daily
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. The fixed-rate  borrowings
mature  $6.0  million  within the next six months and $12.5  million in 1999 and
beyond.

Investment  securities  To Be Held to Maturity  and  Available  for Sale consist
primarily of  Mortgage-backed  securities  which are  predominantly  of the type
issued by U.S.  Government  agencies.  Of these,  $2.1 million are variable-rate
securities adjusting annually. The remainder are fixed-rate in nature.

Non-performing  loans at June 30, 1998 increased by $377,000 to  $2,467,000,  or
2.0% of total net  loans,  compared  to  $2,090,000,  or 1.8% of total  loans at
December  31,  1997.  The  current  balance is  represented  primarily  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
<PAGE>
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 $876,000 and  $1,197,000 at December 31, 1997 and June
30, 1998,  respectively.  Other Real estate  owned  increased by $120,000 due to
acquisitions of properties through foreclosure.

IV.      Comparison of Operating Results

The Company  reported  net income of $434,000 for the  three-month  period ended
June 30, 1998, which represents a $83,000 increase,  or 23.6%, from the $351,000
net income reported for the comparable  three-month period in 1997. Net interest
income  after  provision  for loan  losses  increased  by  $261,000,  or  18.7%.
Non-interest  income increased $77,000, or 27.9%, and operating expenses for the
same comparable periods increased by $159,000, or 13.4%.

The  increase  in net  interest  income is  attributable  to a 9.8%  increase in
earning assets for the 1998 period  compared to 1997. In addition,  the interest
margin for the second  quarter of 1998 increased from that of the second quarter
of 1997 by approximately 30 basis points.  Loan volume was the primary component
of the  increase in earning  assets.  The  addition of the Madison  deposit base
contributed to the increase in the net interest margin.

Non-interest income increased 27.9% for the second quarter of 1998 when compared
to the second  quarter of 1997.  Service  charges  and other fees  increased  by
$52,000,  or  31%,  over  the  previous  year's  quarter  due  primarily  to the
acquisition of the Madison branch and the fee income it produced. Collections of
fees on loan accounts and loan  applications  and income from Canadian  currency
transactions also increased.  Gains on the sales of mortgages  increased for the
period  because the Bank sold more loans in 1998 rather than  placing  them into
portfolio, as was the case in 1997.

Non-interest expense increased by $159,000, or 13.4%, from the second quarter of
1997 to the period ending June 30, 1998.  Salary expense  increased by $115,000,
including  $17,000  from the  increase in ESOP expense due to the rise in market
value of the Company's stock,  $27,000 in new salaries for Madison personnel and
the remainder from salary and staffing increases.  Included in other expenses in
the second  quarter of 1998 were  $13,000 in  one-time  expenses  and $50,000 in
recurring  expenses  associated  with the  acquisition  of the Madison branch of
KeyBank.  Management  is in the  process of  installing  an  upgraded  mainframe
computer  which is necessary to accommodate  anticipated  upgrades in the Bank's
main applications software and to greatly speed its daily processing. The result
will be enhanced  customer  service and response  time and moderate cost savings
from reduced  processing  time.  The upgrade will also  facilitate the Year 2000
readiness  plan.  It is expected that the added book expense will be $30,000 for
1998 and $70,000 for 1999.

The Company  reported net income of $853,000 for the six-month period ended June
30, 1998, which represents a $178,000 increase,  or 26.4%, from the $675,000 net
income reported for the comparable six-month period in 1997. Net interest income
after  provision  for loan losses  increased by $496,000 or 18.0%.  Non-interest
income  increased  $106,000,  or  18.7%,  and  operating  expenses  for the same
comparable periods increased by $254,000, or 10.8%.

The  increase in net  interest  income is  attributable  to a 10.7%  increase in
earning assets for the 1998 period  compared to 1997. In addition,  the interest
margin for the first half of 1998  increased from that of the first half of 1997
by approximately 24 basis points.  Loan volume was the primary  component of the
increase in earning assets. The addition of the Madison deposit base contributed
to the increase in the net interest margin.
<PAGE>
Non-interest  income increased 18.7% for the first half of 1998 when compared to
the first half of 1997.  Service  charges and other fees increased by $70,000 or
20% over the previous  year's  period due  primarily to the  acquisition  of the
Madison branch as well as increases in the  collections of fees on loan accounts
and loan applications.  Gains on the sale of mortgages increased compared to the
1997  period  because  in 1997 the Bank  placed  some  saleable  loans  into its
portfolio  whereas  this year the Bank is selling more of them.  Management  has
plans to place  $3-4  million of  saleable  loans  into  portfolio  in the third
quarter.

Non-interest  expense  increased by $254,000,  or 10.8%,  from the first half of
1997 to the six-month period ending June 30, 1998.  Salary expense  increased by
$182,000, including $61,000 from the increase in ESOP expense due to the rise in
market  value of the  Company's  stock,  $40,000  in new  salaries  for  Madison
personnel  and the  remainder  from salary and staffing  increases.  Included in
other  expenses in the first half of 1998 were $37,000 in one-time  expenses and
$55,000 in recurring  expenses  associated  with the  acquisition of the Madison
branch.  Expenses in the 1997 period included a $20,000 investment in the Bank's
sales and  quality  service  program  and  $40,000 in loan  processing  expenses
connected with a new loan promotion.

V.       Liquidity and Capital Resources

A primary function of  asset/liability  management  includes  assuring  adequate
liquidity  that  reflects  the  ability  of the  Bank  to  meet  the  cash  flow
requirements of its customers without significant loss to the Bank.

Liquidity comes from five sources in the balance sheet --- the Bank's investment
portfolio, deposits, borrowings, loan repayments and profits.

Liquidity  is needed to fund  increased  loan  demand and to cover the  seasonal
outflows of deposits.  The Bank's investment portfolio,  that consists primarily
of mortgage-backed securities, provides liquidity through repayment of principal
and interest and through its  availability  as  collateral  for  borrowings  and
public sector deposit accounts.

The  Bank's  primary  approach  to  measuring  liquidity  is  utilizing  a Basic
Surplus/Deficit model. It is used to calculate liquidity over 30-day horizon, by
examining the  relationship  between liquid assets and  short-term  liabilities,
which are  vulnerable  to  non-replacement  within a 30-day  period.  The Bank's
minimum  policy level of liquidity  under this model is 5% of total  assets.  At
June 30,  1998,  the 30-day  ratio was  8.0%(21.1%  including  borrowable  funds
available from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston).

Stockholder's equity at June 30, 1998 was $12.5 million, an increase of $994,000
or 8.6% over total equity at December 31, 1997.  The increase  resulted from net
income of  $853,000  for the  period,  $170,000  in  adjustments  related to the
Employee  Stock  Ownership Plan (ESOP) and the Bank  Recognition  Retention Plan
(RRP), less $45,000 net dividends paid to stockholders.  The net unrealized loss
on securities available for sale increased by $16,000 for the six months (net of
deferred tax  liability of $8,000).  The Company  issued 23,879 new shares under
stock option plans  resulting in an addition to paid-in  capital of $72,000.  It
subsequently  repurchased  3,911 of the shares costing $72,000,  retiring all of
them, bringing the net increase in reported equity to $994,000.

At June 30, 1998,  the Company's  ratio of core capital to total assets  equaled
7.07%. This represents a decrease from the December 31, 1997 ratio of 7.25%.  
<PAGE>
At June 30, 1998, the Bank's ratio of core capital to total assets equaled 6.85%
compared to 7.05% at December 31, 1997.

The ratio of the Bank's risk-based  capital to risk-weighted  assets at June 30,
1998 was 11.10%  compared to 11.70% at December  31,  1997.  The Bank's  capital
ratios are derived from data presented in the Bank's FDIC call reports.

The  decreases in the  Company's  and the Bank's  capital  ratios are due to the
intangible  assets  arising from the  acquisition of deposits from KeyBank which
are  deducted  from  capital in arriving  at the  ratios.  This is offset by the
increase in equity as outlined above.
