NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements (except for the
statement of financial condition at December 31, 1997, which is audited) have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 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 (none of which were
other than normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been
included. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31,
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be
expected for the year ended December 31, 1998.

The accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1997 KS Bancorp, Inc. annual report.
During the three month period, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This
statement was adopted effective January 1, 1998 as explained in Note 4 below.

Note 2  Allowance for Loan Losses

The Bank's allowance for loan losses increased by the related provision charged
to operations of $14,500 during the three month period ended March 31, 1998.
There was no additional provision recorded during the same period in 1997. The
Bank did not incur any loan charge-offs or recoveries during these periods. The
allowance at March 31, 1998 was $339,867 and the Bank's ratio of nonperforming
assets to total assets was .28%.

Note 3 Earnings Per Share (EPS)

The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128
during the year ended December 31, 1997. This statement requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted EPS with a reconciliation of the numerator and
denominator of the EPS computations. Basic earnings per share amounts are based
on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per
share assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock
instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the
effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. Accordingly, this
presentation has been adopted for all periods presented. There were no
adjustments required to net income for all periods presented in the computation
of diluted earnings per share. The basic and diluted weighted average shares
outstanding for the three month periods are as follows: 

                                                              1998      1997

                                                          ======================

Note 4 Adoption of SFAS Statement No. 130

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which the Bank was required to adopt as of January 1,
1998. The Statement requires the classification of items of other comprehensive
income by their nature in a financial statement and to display the accumulated
balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and
additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the balance sheet. Other
comprehensive income refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under
generally accepted accounting principles are included in comprehensive income
but excluded from net income, and are therefore included in changes in equity.
Other comprehensive income includes all such changes in equity other than those
resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.

SFAS No. 130 does not require a specific format for displaying comprehensive
income and its components in a financial statement, other than it must be
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements that constitute
a full set of financial statements. The Bank has elected to display
comprehensive income in a separate statement of comprehensive income that begins
with net income. The only item of other comprehensive income that the Bank
currently has is associated with changes in unrealized gains and losses on
securities classified as available for sale.

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 quarter ended March 31, 1998 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.

Overview of First Quarter Results

Total assets increased by $9.8 million during the three month period ended March
31, 1998 primarily as a result of an increase in the Bank's cash and loan
portfolio which was funded primarily through increased deposits of $9.4 million.
Earnings for the period totaled approximately $275,000.

Mortgage loans increased by $2.1 million during the three month period ended
March 31, 1998, primarily as a result of an increase in loan originations during
the quarter brought about by 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 $7.9 million during the first quarter and amounted to $23 million
at March 31, 1998. The market value of the Corporation's available for sale
securities increased by approximately $161,000 during the quarter, primarily as
a result of movements in market interest rates. At March 31, 1998, the
Corporation's available for sale portfolio had securities with unrealized gains
of approximately $1,315,000. During the quarter, the Corporation received
proceeds from sales and maturities of investments totaling $1.1 million, and
purchased investments totaling $0.5 million. Proceeds from sales and maturities
in excess of purchases helped to fund the Bank's increased mortgage loan
activity during the quarter.

Deposits increased by approximately $9.4 million during the first quarter and
amounted to $99.7 million at March 31, 1998. This increase was primarily the
result of a new branch opened during the end of the 1997 year which is now in
full operation.

The Corporation's return on assets for the three month periods ended March 31,
1998 and 1997 on an annualized basis was 0.89% and 1.24%, respectively. The
Corporation's return on equity for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998
and 1997 on an annualized basis was 7.42% and 9.05%, respectively.

During the first quarter, the Corporation paid a cash dividend of $ .20 a share,
amounting to approximately $171,000. At March 31, 1998, the Corporation and the
Bank's capital was significantly in excess of regulatory capital requirements.

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was
$274,964 ($.32 per share) and $312,841 ($.37 per share), respectively. Net
interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 was
approximately $120,000 higher than the comparable period of 1997. 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 increased by approximately $172,000 during the three month
period ended March 31, 1998 versus the comparable period in 1997. The primary
reason for the overall increase was due to increased levels of compensation and
other expenses associated with the operations of the new loan production office
in Knightdale opened during the third quarter of 1997 and a full-service branch
in Garner opened during the fourth quarter, 1997.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans and real estate acquired
through foreclosure, amounted to approximately $352,000 and $533,000 at March
31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The ratio of nonperforming assets
to total assets at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was .28% and ..41%,
respectively. Based on management's analysis of the adequacy of its allowances
at March 31, 1998, a provision for loan losses was made of $14,500 during the
three months ended March 31, 1998. 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 $339,000 at March 31,
1998 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.

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
such requirements at March 31, 1998 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 $14.8 million, or 11.99% of total
assets at March 31, 1998. 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 March 31, 1998.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Bank has not experienced any substantive change in it's portfolio risk
during the 3 month period ended March 31, 1998.
