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 and nine month periods ended
September 30, 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 nine 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 $14,000 and $33,500 during the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $19,000 during the same periods in 1997.
The Bank did not incur any loan charge-offs or recoveries during these periods.
The allowance at September 30, 1998 was $358,867 and the Bank's ratio of
nonperforming assets to total assets was .27%.

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 and nine month periods are as follows:

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements consisting of
estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and
other business of KS Bancorp, Inc. that are subject to various factors which
could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimates. Factors
which could influence the estimates include changes in general and local market
conditions, legislative and regulatory conditions and an adverse interest rate
environment.

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, 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 1998 Results:

Total assets increased by $14.6 million during the nine month period ended
September 30, 1998 primarily as result of an increase in the Bank's loan
portfolio which was funded primarily through increased deposits of $15.8 million
offset by repayments of short term FHLB advances of $2.0 million. Earnings for
the nine month period totaled approximately $953,000.

Loans increased by $1.6 million during the three month period ended September
30, 1998, building on the $6 million increase during the previous 2 quarters.
The increase resulted primarily from 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 primarily for its portfolio.

Investment securities and short-term interest-bearing deposits, decreased by
approximately $745,000 during the third quarter and amounted to $22.0 million at
September 30, 1998. The market value of the Corporation's available for sale
securities increased by $129,000 during the quarter, primarily as a result of
movements in market interest rates.

The Corporation's annualized return on assets for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1998 was 1.10% and 0.99%, respectively. For the same
periods in 1997, the annualized return was 1.08% and 1.17%, respectively. The
Corporation's return on equity for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 was 9.40% and 8.48%, respectively, compared to 8.15% and
8.87% for the same periods in 1997.

During each of the quarters ended March 31, 1998, June 30, 1998 and September
30, 1998, the Corporation paid a cash dividend of $ .20, amounting to
approximately $171,000, $172,000 and $172,000 respectively. At September 30,
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 and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 was
$352,494 and $953,102, respectively. Net income for the comparable periods in
1997 was $296,359 and $968,162, respectively. Net interest income for the three
month period ended September 30, 1998 was approximately $109,000 higher than the
comparable period of 1997, while the net interest income for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1998 was approximately $268,000 higher than the
comparable period for 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 $87,000 and $397,000 during the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 versus the comparable
period in 1997. The primary reason for the overall increase was due to increased
levels of compensation as a result of additional staffing and other expenses
associated with the operations of a new 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 $345,000 and $533,000 at
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The ratio of
nonperforming assets to total assets at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997
was .27% and .41%, respectively. Based on management's analysis of the adequacy
of its allowances at September 30, 1997, a provision for loan losses was made of
$14,000 and $33,500 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 $359,000 at September
30, 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.

KS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY


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
its requirements at September 30, 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 $15.3 million, or 11.9% of total
assets at September 30, 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 September
30, 1998.

Year 2000 Issue

The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the result of computer programs using a two-digit
format, as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. Such computer systems
will be unable to interpret dates beyond the year 1999, which could cause a
system failure or other computer errors, leading to disruptions in the Bank's
operation. The Year 2000 date problem is a reality and the date for completion
of this project cannot be changed. The Bank identifies Year 2000 as among the
largest challenge that it has to face in moving into the next decade. In 1997,
the Bank developed a three-phase program for Y2K information systems compliance.

Phase I (Identification):
In this Phase, which was completed in early 1998, the Bank identified those
systems with which the Bank has its largest exposure to Y2K issues. The Bank
performed an inventory of all services and computer products that involved micro
processors in their operation. The Bank identified that it's service bureau was
it's major provider of financial data processing and it's most vulnerable link
to the Y2K event. The Bank further identified that it had 32 individual PC
workstations using DOS, Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 operating systems that may or
may not be vulnerable.

Phase II (Development and implementation of action plans):
In this Phase, the Bank has developed action plans to insure that the Bank is
compliant in all areas by late 1998. Financial software providers have been
contacted and new software updates have been received that are Y2K compliant.
The Bank is currently working in this phase. The Bank's data service provider is
currently approximately 75% complete in its renovation phase.

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phase III (Testing):
The Bank is currently scheduled to test PC operation systems, financial software
systems and it's data processing services provider in November and December of
1998. This phase will enable the Bank to identify those areas that need further
research and testing to become Y2K compliant. In the financial and information
system area, a number of applications have been identified as being Y2K
compliant due to their recent implementation. The Bank's core financial and
reporting systems are not Y2K compliant, but are on schedule to be so by
December.

The Bank believes that it's expense will be minimal in making it's core service
Y2K compliant due to it's contract with the service provider to provide Y2K
compliant services and the Bank's having updated it's computer operations to
individual PC units within the past four years. The Bank has reviewed third
party relationships and has identified only a few relationships that will affect
it's operation. Most relationships are with consumers and small business
operators who state that they are or will be Y2K compliant. The Bank is
currently meeting the time line that the FFIEC has mandated and management is
confident that all of it's systems will be verified Year 2000 compliant and that
the bank will be able to process without interruption through the next
millennium.

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 September 30, 1998.
