NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (except for the
statement of financial condition at December 31, 1996, which is audited) have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included.
Except for an adjustment during the nine month period ended September 30, 1996
recorded as a result of federal legislation to recapitalize the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), there were no other adjustments which were
recorded other than normal recurring accruals. The results of operations for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

The accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1996 KS Bancorp, Inc. annual report.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Bank's allowance for loan losses increased by the related provision charged
to operations of $19,000 during the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1997 and $20,500 and $62,500 during the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996, respectively.  The Bank did not incur any loan charge-offs
or recoveries during these periods.  The allowance at September 30, 1997 was
$320,867.  The Bank's ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets at September
30, 1997 was .06%.

STOCK DIVIDEND

On June 25, 1997, the Bank effected a four for three stock dividend for
shareholders of record on June 10, 1997.  As a result of the stock dividend, the
Bank issued 221,219 shares of common stock.  As a result of this, all prior
period share information included in the interim financial statements has been
restated.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 17, 1997, the Board approved a special cash dividend of $.30 per
share to all stockholders on record as of October 28, 1997 with payment to be
made on November 7, 1997.

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

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist readers in
understanding the results of operations and changes in financial position for
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 of KS Bancorp, Inc.
(the Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Kenly Savings Bank, SSB (the
Bank).  This overview should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and supplemental financial data contained herein and with
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" included in the Corporation's 1996 annual report on form 10-K.

OVERVIEW OF 1997 RESULTS:

Total assets increased by $9.1 million during the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997 primarily as result of an increase in the Bank's loan
portfolio which was funded primarily through increased deposits of $4.1 million
and advances received from the FHLB of approximately $4.0 million.  Earnings for
the period totaled approximately $969,000.

Mortgage loans increased by $11.1 million during the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997.  The increase resulted primarily due to a continued strong
loan demand in the Bank's primary lending areas.  The Bank originated these
loans for its portfolio.

Investment securities and short-term interest-bearing  deposits, increased by
approximately $2.1 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 1997
and amounted to $12.5 million at September 30, 1997.  The market value of the
Corporation's available for sale securities increased by approximately $465,000
during the quarter, primarily as a result of movements in market interest rates.
At September 30, 1997, the Corporation's available for sale portfolio had
securities with unrealized gains of $960,000.

The Corporation's annualized return on assets for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1997 was 1.08% and 1.17%, respectively.  For the
same periods in 1996, the annualized return was .05% and .80%, respectively. The
Corporation's return on equity for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1997 was 8.15% and 8.87%, respectively, compared to .33% and 5.32%
for the same periods in 1996.  Earnings during the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 were adversely effected by a special SAIF assessment
levied by the FDIC on all SAIF insured institutions which amounted to $436,548.

$551,789 or $.60 per share, respectively.  Net interest income for the three
month period ended September 30, 1997 was approximately $146,000 higher than the
comparable period of 1996, while the net interest income for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1997 was approximately $430,000 higher than the
comparable period for 1996.  The increase in net interest income is primarily
attributable to a small increase in the interest rate spread in effect during
the periods, and a change in the mix of interest-earning assets favoring loans
receivable instead of investment securities.  The yield on loans receivable is
typically higher than the yield on investment securities.

Noninterest expense decreased by approximately $337,000 and 264,000 during the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared to
the same periods in 1996.  The primary reason for the overall decrease was due
to large SAIF assessment paid during 1996.  This was partially offset by
increased levels of compensation and other expenses associated with the
operations of the new branch office in Kenly, North Carolina opened during the
fourth quarter of 1996, and the operation of the Bank's Goldsboro, North
Carolina facility as a full service branch.

ASSET QUALITY:

Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans and real estate acquired
through foreclosure, amounted to approximately $63,000 and $274,000 at September
30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  The ratio of nonperforming assets
to total assets at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 was .06% and .34%,
respectively.  Based on management's analysis of the adequacy of its allowances
at September 30, 1997, a provision for loan losses was made of $19,000 during
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997.  Provisions which are
charged to operations, and the resulting loan loss allowances are amounts the
Bank's management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans
that may become uncollectible.  Loans are charged off against the allowance when
management believes that collectibility is unlikely.  The evaluation to increase
or decrease the provision and resulting allowances is based both on prior loan
loss experience and other factors, such as changes in the nature and volume of
the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, and current economic conditions.

The allowance for loan losses amounted to approximately $321,000 at September
30, 1997 and is considered adequate by management to absorb existing losses,
either known or as yet undetected.

LIQUIDITY:

The term "liquidity" generally refers to an organization's ability to generate
adequate amounts of funds to meet its needs for cash.  More specifically for
financial institutions, liquidity ensures that adequate funds are available to
meet deposit withdrawals, fund loan and capital expenditure commitments,
maintain reserve requirements, pay operating expenses, and provide funds for
debt service and other institutional commitments.  Funds are primarily provided
through financial resources from operating activities, expansion of the deposit
base, borrowings, through the sale or maturity of investments, or maintenance of
shorter term interest-bearing deposits.

The Bank is required by regulations to maintain liquid assets, essentially cash,
short-term interest bearing deposits, substantially all investments, and
mortgage-backed securities, of at least 10% of total assets.  A substantial
portion of the Bank's investment portfolio is classified as available for sale,
and liquidation of such portfolio, if need be,  would not have accounting
implications on the Corporation's equity  under SFAS No. 115.  The Bank exceeded
its requirements at September 30, 1997 and management believes that the Bank's
liquidity is adequate to fund all outstanding commitments and other anticipated
cash needs.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND ADEQUACY:

KS Bancorp, Inc.'s stockholders' equity  was $14.5 million, or 13.24% of total
assets at September 30, 1997.  As a state chartered stock savings bank, the Bank
is required to meet three separate capital standards as established by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and an additional capital requirement
established by the State Administrator of the Savings Institutions Division.
The Bank was substantially in excess of all such capital requirements at
September 30, 1997.
