                           M & M FINANCIAL CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in
accordance  with  the  requirements  for  interim   financial   statements  and,
accordingly,  they are condensed and omit disclosures which would  substantially
duplicate those contained in the most recent annual report to shareholders.  The
financial  statements as of June 30, 1997 and for the interim periods ended June
30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited and, in the opinion of  management,  include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair  presentation.  The financial  information as of December 31, 1996 has been
derived  from the  audited  financial  statements  as of that date.  For further
information,  please refer to the financial statements and the notes included in
the Company's 1996 Annual Report.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

On May 5, 1997, the Company  authorized a  three-for-one  stock split  effective
July 1, 1997. All references in the condensed  consolidated financial statements
referring to shares,  share prices,  per-share amounts and stock plans have been
adjusted retroactively for the three-for-one stock split. Additional information
is presented in Note 4.

Note 3 - Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank

As of June 30,  1997,  the  Company  had  short-term,  fixed  rate  advances  of
$10,000,000 on its $20,000,000  credit  availability  line with the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Atlanta.  As  collateral,  the Company has pledged  first  mortgage
loans  on one to four  family  residential  properties  and  $1,600,000  of debt
securities.  In addition,  the Company's Federal Home Loan Bank stock,  which is
included in other assets,  is pledged to secure the borrowings.  Advances on the
credit availability line may require the Company to pledge further collateral.

Note 5 - Employee Benefits

Effective  April 17, 1997,  the Company,  upon receiving  shareholder  approval,
adopted an  Incentive  Stock  Option  Plan which  provides  for the  granting of
options  to  purchase  up to 78,000  shares  of the  Company's  common  stock to
officers and employees of the Company. The per-share exercise price of an option
may not be less than the fair  market  value of a share of  common  stock on the
date the option is granted.  Participants become vested in options granted based
on the participants' years of service to the Company. At no time shall an option
be  exercised  more than ten years from the date of grant.  Options  that expire
unexercised or are canceled become  available for issuance.  On May 5, 1997, the
Company granted 54,000 options at an exercise price of $13.33 per share pursuant
to the terms of the Incentive  Stock Option Plan. The number of shares  approved
for granting of options,  the number of options granted,  and the exercise price
of options are adjusted for changes in capital structure.

The  Company  has  voted in favor of  terminating  its  noncontributory  defined
benefit  pension plan.  The Company has also approved a money  purchase  pension
plan, an executive supplemental pension plan and a phantom stock plan. The terms
and details of the above actions have not yet been finalized.

Note 6 - Branch in Florence, South Carolina

The Company has received  regulatory approval for its banking subsidiary to open
a branch on its lot in Florence,  South Carolina,  which was purchased  February

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

The following is a discussion of the Company's  financial  condition at June 30,
1997 compared to December 31, 1996,  and the results of operations for the three
and six months  ended June 30, 1997  compared to the three and six months  ended
June 30, 1996.  These comments should be read in conjunction  with the Company's
condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes appearing
in this report.

Results of Operations

Net Interest Income

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net interest income increased  $567,392,
or 23.22%,  over the six months ended June 30, 1996.  For the quarter ended June
30, 1997, net interest income  increased  $240,895,  or 19.34%,  over the second
quarter of 1996.

The improvement in both the six and three-month  periods ended June 30, 1997, is
related to an  increase  in both the  volume of and  yields on  interest-earning
assets due to the growth in loans and an increase in the  percentage of loans to
total  earning  assets.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997,  average  loans
comprised 69% of earning assets compared to 59% for the same period of 1996. The
improvement in interest  income is partially  offset by the increase in interest
paid on interest-bearing liability accounts due to a $19,656,089 increase in the
average volume for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1996.  The increase in the volume of both assets and  liabilities
is  attributable  to  management's  ability to  strengthen  its influence in the
Company's market area and the Company's emphasis on growth.

Interest expense on liability  accounts  increased 23.02% and 29.73% for the six
months and for the quarter ended June 30, 1997,  from the six months and quarter
ended June 30, 1996. The increase was due mainly to an increase in the volume of
interest-bearing  deposits over the comparable periods in 1996 and the Company's
increased use of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank as a funding source.
Interest  expense on deposits for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1997
were  $2,020,353  and  $1,068,950,  respectively,  compared  to  $1,775,307  and
$885,820 for the comparable periods of 1996.

The  influence of the factors  above had the effect of  increasing  the interest
rate  spread 27 basis  points to 4.00% and  increasing  the net yield on earning
assets 19 basis  points to 4.63% for the  six-month  period ended June 30, 1997.
The factors above also had the effect of increasing,  for the quarter ended June
30, 1997,  the interest rate spread  approximately  25 basis points to 4.20% and
increasing  the net  yield on  earning  assets 7 basis  points  to  4.65%,  when
compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The  provision  for  loan  losses  is the  charge  to  operating  earnings  that
management feels is necessary to maintain the allowance for possible loan losses
at an adequate  level.  For the six months and the quarter  ended June 30, 1997,
the provision was $178,000 and $94,000, respectively, an increase of $88,000 and
$49,000,  respectively,  from the comparable  1996 periods.  The increase in the
provision  for  loan  losses  is due  to  the  growth  in  the  loan  portfolio,
particularly commercial loans. Based on present information, management believes
the  allowance  for loan losses is  adequate at June 30, 1997 to meet  presently
known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income during the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $778,768,
an increase of $123,686,  or 18.88%, from the comparable period in 1996. For the
quarter ended June 30, 1997, total noninterest income was $391,750,  an increase
of $96,825, or 32.83%, from the comparable quarter of 1996.

The Company  purchased  additional  Federal  Home Loan Bank stock during 1997 in
order to meet the borrowing requirements of the Federal Home Loan Bank resulting
in an  increase  in  dividend  income.  During the fourth  quarter of 1997,  the
Company  began  charging  customers  of other  banks for use of its ATM's  which
generated  approximately $33,000 of fee income for the six months ended June 30,
1997. Due to the continued  growth of the discount  brokerage  department,  fees
from sales  increased to $71,465 and $35,573 for the six-month  and  three-month
periods ended June 30, 1997 from $49,654 and $17,683 for the comparable  periods
of 1996.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $2,744,666,
an increase of 14.02%  compared to the six months ended June 30,  1996.  For the
quarter ended June 30, 1997, noninterest expense was $1,444,336,  an increase of
$212,602 when  compared to  noninterest  expense of  $1,231,734  for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996.

The increase in  noninterest  expense is  attributable  mainly to the continuing
growth of the Company. The primary component of non-interest expense is salaries
and benefits  which  increased  $144,070 to $1,538,132  for the six months ended
June 30,  1997 when  compared  to 1996.  For the  quarter  ended June 30,  1997,
salaries and  employee  benefits  were  $798,954,  an increase of $103,033  when
compared to the same period of 1996. The increases were due to the hiring of new
employees to staff the new branch in Florence,  which is expected to open during
the third quarter,  and to the hiring of several  experienced loan officers from
larger regional banks to generate loan business.

Income Taxes

The income tax provision for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1997, was
$272,022 and $107,470,  compared to $144,100 and $62,900 for the comparable 1996
periods,  respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997,  the  effective
income tax rate was  approximately  31%  compared  to 24% for the same period in
1996.  The increase is  partially  due to a decrease in  tax-exempt  income as a
percentage of income before income taxes.

Net Income

The  combination of the above factors  resulted in net income for the six months
ended June 30,  1997 of  $595,108  or $.59 per share as  compared to $457,508 or
$.45 per share for the six months  ended June 30,  1996.  For the quarter  ended
June 30, 1997, net income was $232,277 or $.23 per share as compared to $200,730
or $.20 per share for the comparable period in 1996.

Assets and Liabilities

During the first six months of 1997,  total assets grew  $13,354,618,  or 9.97%,
when  compared to December  31,  1996.  The major  percentage  of the growth was
attributable to the growth in loans which increased  19.02% to $96,312,213 as of
June 30, 1997 from  $80,922,947  as of December 31, 1996.  The increase in total
assets was substantially  funded by the $15,134,626 increase in interest-bearing
deposit accounts and the $5,000,000 increase in borrowings from the Federal Home
Loan Bank, all having maturities in one year or less.

Investment Securities

Investment  securities decreased by $1,197,255 since December 31, 1996, which is
in accordance  with  management's  efforts to shift  investable  funds to loans,
which traditionally have higher yields.

Loans

In order to improve  earnings and shift  investable funds to loans, the Board of
Directors has recommended an increase in the  loan-to-deposit  ratio to 85% from
80%.  The  loan-to-deposit  ratio at June 30,  1997  was  78.60%.  Additionally,
management has emphasized its commitment to loan growth and the  recommendations
of the Board by hiring several experienced loan officers within the past year.

Management  believes that commercial loan demand will remain strong in Horry and
Florence  Counties  for  the  foreseeable   future.   Construction  and  tourism
activities are increasing in the Horry County market.  Balances within the major
loan  receivable  categories  as of June 30, 1997 and  December  31, 1996 are as

The tobacco industry,  in negotiations with state attorneys general,  has agreed
to  major  regulatory   concessions.   Tobacco  companies  have  agreed  to  pay
approximately  $370 billion over the next 25 years for public health efforts and
will submit to nicotine regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The
settlement  will  also  impose  new   restrictions  on  advertising  by  tobacco
companies.  The  tentative  agreement  needs  approval by both  Congress and the
President.

Risk Elements in the Loan Portfolio - continued

Although the Company's  geographic  marketplace is largely rural and has tobacco
farmers, management does not believe the settlement by the tobacco industry will
have  a  direct  material  effect  on  the  Company's  loan  portfolio   because
agricultural  lending has been  limited.  The  agreement  could have an indirect
impact if the local economy is adversely affected.

Under  Comptroller  of the  Currency  guidelines,  "a  concentration  of  credit
consists of direct,  indirect,  or  contingent  obligations  exceeding  25% of a
bank's  capital  structure."  Under  this  definition,   the  Company's  banking
subsidiary has a concentration of credit in both the hotel/motel and golf course
industries. Loans in the hotel/motel industry represent approximately 86% of the
Bank's  capital  structure and 10.62% of gross loans  outstanding.  Loans in the
golf course industry represent approximately 35% of the Bank's capital structure
and 4.37% of gross loans outstanding.

During 1996, the Company implemented a credit program in which it advances money
to small businesses based on the outstanding accounts receivable of the business
("Business Manager").  Payments on the receivables are collected directly by the
Bank.  Per the credit  agreements,  the  respective  businesses  are required to
reduce the  outstanding  balances based on the aging of the  receivables.  As of
June 30, 1997, total advances under this program totaled $3,225,375.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Company became aware of one Business
Manager  account that was not being  collected  as agreed.  The business was not
financially  able to  reduce  its  loan  commitment  as the  receivables  became
increasingly past due leaving the Company with an exposure of $791,000. In July,
the Company  restructured  the loan into a $850,000  promissory  note with a one
year maturity,  monthly interest payments, and a principal reduction to $700,000
in 120 days.  Additionally,  a  financial  guarantee  surety bond was issued for
$850,000 in favor of the Bank to secure the note.  The surety bond was issued by
a  private  surety  and asset  management  firm with  which the  Company  had no
previous  experience  or knowledge.  The Company  believes that its position has
been  strengthened by the surety bond but recognizes that this loan will require
continual  monitoring  and  attention.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had not
provided a specific  allocation for any loss exposure;  however, if the customer
is unable to meet its  obligation  and the surety does not pay, the Company will
make additional charges to the allowance for loan losses,  which may be material
to the  financial  statements.  This  loan has been  rated  sub-standard  by the
Company and was placed on non-accrual status in July 1997.

Activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses is as follows:

During the second quarter of 1997, the Company  modified the terms of repurchase
agreements with several large customers. These accounts are now interest-bearing
demand accounts for which the Company has pledged investment securities.

Liquidity

Funding  loans and deposit  withdrawals  utilizes the Company's  liquidity.  The
level of liquidity is measured by the loan-to-total  borrowed funds ratio, which
was 70.70% at June 30, 1997 and 65.73% at December 31, 1996. Liquidity needs are
met by the  Company  through  scheduled  maturities  of loans  and  investments,
borrowings,  and through pricing policies for interest-bearing deposit accounts.
Management  believes  the  Company's  liquidity is adequate to meet the expected
strong loan demand in its marketplace.

The Company has a $20,000,000  line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta. As of June 30, 1997, the Company has borrowed  $10,000,000 on this line
of credit with  scheduled  maturities of one year or less.  The Company also has
$7,770,000  of  unused  lines of credit  with  correspondent  banks to  purchase
federal funds.  As a secondary  source of liquidity,  the Company has securities
available-for-sale with a carrying value of $34,189,986 as of June 30, 1997.

Capital Resources

Total  shareholders'  equity  increased  $266,812 to $11,088,524  since December
31,1996.  The increase is due to earnings through June 30, 1997 of $595,108 less
dividends of $117,380 and a $210,916  decrease in the unrealized  gain (loss) on
securities available-for-sale.

The Bank  subsidiary  of the Company is required by banking  regulators  to meet
certain minimum levels of capital  adequacy.  These are expressed in the form of
certain  ratios.  Capital is separated into Tier I capital  (essentially  common
shareholders'  equity less intangible  assets) and Tier II capital  (essentially
the allowance for loan losses  limited to 1.25% of  risk-weighted  assets).  The
first two  ratios,  which are based on the  degree of credit  risk in the Bank's
assets,  provide the  weighting  of assets  based on assigned  risk  factors and
include off-balance sheet items such as loan commitments and stand-by letters of
credit.  The ratio of Tier I capital to  risk-weighted  assets  must be at least
4.0% and the ratio of total  capital  (Tier I capital  plus Tier 2  capital)  to
risk-weighted  assets  must  be  at  least  8.0%.  The  capital  leverage  ratio
supplements the risk-based capital guidelines.  The Bank is required to maintain
a minimum ratio of Tier I capital to adjusted  quarterly average total assets of
3.0%.

The following table summarizes the Bank's risk-based capital at June 30, 1997:

Risk based capital ratios:
     Tier I                                                      10.24%
     Total capital                                               11.26%
     Leverage ratio                                               7.34%

Capital Resources - continued

The Federal Reserve Board has similar  requirements for bank holding  companies.
The Company is currently not subject to these  requirements  because the Federal
Reserve  guidelines  contain an exemption for bank holding  companies  with less
than $150,000,000 in consolidated assets.

Regulatory Matters

The  management  of the Company is not aware of any current  recommendations  by
regulatory  authorities  which,  if they were to be  implemented,  would  have a
material effect on liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

Accounting Rule Changes

During the first  quarter of 1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which addresses the computation,
presentation,  and  disclosure  requirements  for earnings per share by entities
with publicly held common stock or potential common stock.  Statement No. 128 is
effective for both interim and annual  periods  ending after  December 15, 1997.
Earlier application is not permitted.
