(5)  Stock Options
     -------------

During the six month period ended June 30, 1996, 1,700 incentive and
4,000 non-incentive stock options were exercised at an option price 
of $5.63 and $5.00 per share, respectively.

(6)  Formation of Bank Holding Company
     ---------------------------------

Effective on February 28, 1995, Haywood Bancshares, Inc. (the Holding
Company) was incorporated, solely for the purpose of becoming the
holding company for Haywood Savings Bank, Inc., SSB.  The Holding
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 became effective with 
the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 1995.  The
stockholders of Haywood Savings Bank, Inc., SSB approved the Agree-
ment and the Plan of Reorganization on May 2, 1995 and the
reorganization was completed on June 30, 1995.

The comparative six months ended June 30, 1995 financial statements
presented represent the financial statements for the wholly-owned
subsidiary, Haywood Savings Bank, Inc., SSB.

                 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(7)  Stock Repurchase
     ----------------

In April and May 1996, Haywood Bancshares, Inc. repurchased 86,516
shares of common stock at $18 per share in connection with the stock
repurchase program announced on August 8, 1995 which permits
repurchases of up to 10% of the 1,287,372 outstanding shares. 
Additionally, 5,700 shares were repurchased in July 1996.  Haywood
Bancshares, Inc. will retire all repurchased shares.

(8)  Accounting Changes
     ------------------

Effective January 1, 1996 the Corporation adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of," which requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be 
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. 
The adoption of the Standard had no impact on the Corporation's
financial statements.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued SFAS No.
122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," which requires that
a mortgage banking enterprise recognize as separate assets the rights
to service mortgage loans for others, however, those servicing rights
are acquired.  The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 122 effective January
1, 1996.  As the Corporation does not generally originate loans held
for sale, the adoption of SFAS No. 122 has had no affect on the
financial statements.

The FASB has also issued Standard No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation," which requires that the fair value of employee
stock-based compensation plans be recorded as a component of
compensation expense in the statement of income as of the date of
grant of awards related to such plans or that the impact of such 
fair value on net income and earnings per share be disclosed on a 
pro forma basis in a footnote to financial statements for awards
granted after December 15, 1994, if the accounting for such awards
continues to be in accordance with Accounting Principles Board 
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). 
The Corporation will continue such accounting under the provisions of
APB 25.  This Standard is required for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995.

(9)  Employee Stock Ownership Plan
     -----------------------------

The Corporation has an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) whereby
126,000 shares, or approximately 10% of the stock issued in
conjunction with Haywood Savings' conversion from a mutual to a stock
association, were purchased for future issuance to employees. 
Additionally, in 1994, the Plan purchased 49,000 shares of common
stock at $12.00 per share for future issuance to employees.

The stock in the ESOP Plan has a put feature available to the ESOP
participants if the stock is not listed on a national securities
exchange.  Prior to June 20, 1996, the Corporation's stock was not
listed on a national securities exchange.  Accordingly, the 1995
annual report reported the 175,000 shares of ESOP stock, net of 
29,685 unreleased shares associated with an outstanding ESOP Loan,
outside shareholders' equity at their fair value.  However, effective
June 20, 1996, the Corporation's stock became listed on the American
Stock Exchange, negating the put feature and the need to report the 
ESOP shares separately.  As a result, the December 31, 1995 balances
have been restated to reflect this change in fact and related 
reporting for comparative purposes.

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

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATING RESULTS AS OF AND 
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995

     Net income in 1996 increased to $707,418, or $.60 per share, 
from $702,057 or $0.55 per share, in 1995.  The increase in net 
income was attributable to an increase in other income and a decrease
in income taxes partially offset by a decrease in net interest income
and an increase in general and administrative expenses.  Earnings per
share was also impacted by repurchased and retired shares.

     Total interest income in 1996 was $4,954,104, a $4,544 decrease
from the same period in 1995.  The primary reason for the small 
change was a decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets
(see table below) with an increase in the balance of average interest
earning assets of approximately $3.2 million, or 2.6%.  Interest
expense in 1996 increased from 1995 by $53,604, or 2.2%, due to an
increase in the average rate on interest bearing liabilities (see
table below) and offset partially by an approximate $1.5 million, or
1.4%, decrease in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities. 
The overall net effect of these changes was a $58,148 decrease in net
interest income before provision for loan losses and a decrease in 
the interest rate spread between interest earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities from 3.43% in 1995 to 3.06% in 1996.  

     Other income increased $90,269, or 33.2%, in 1996 compared to 
the same period in 1995 primarily as a result of an increase in net
real estate operations, which relates to net rental income from a
significant piece of real estate owned.

     General and administrative expenses increased $53,760, or 3.4%,
in 1996 compared to 1995.  Increases were experienced in salaries and
employee benefits (due mainly to annual salary increases) and federal
and other insurance premium expense.  Offsetting these increases were
decreases in occupancy and equipment expense and miscellaneous other
expenses.

     As a result of these and other factors, income before income
taxes decreased $21,639, or 1.9%, in 1996 versus 1995.  Income tax
expense of $409,000 during the period resulted in an effective 
income tax rate of 36.6% compared to 38.3% in 1995.

     Haywood Savings' loan portfolio increased by approximately $3.2
million during the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Loan originations
for the period were approximately $14.7 million.  For the same period
in 1995, loan originations were approximately $13.4 million and the
loan portfolio increased by approximately $3.1 million.

Comparative yields, costs and spreads for the respective periods are
as follows:

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1996 AND 1995

     Net income in 1996 increased to $336,426, or $.29 per share, 
from $320,153, or $.25 per share, in 1995.  The increase in net 
income was the result of improvements in net interest income and 
other income as well as a decrease in income taxes all of which 
offset an increase in general and administrative expenses.  Earnings
per share was also impacted by repurchased and retired shares.

     Total interest income for the 1996 period was $2,477,200, a
$70,064, or 2.8%, decrease from the same period in 1995.  The 
primary reason for the change was a decrease in the average yield
on interest earning assets from 8.08% for 1995 to 7.63% for 1996. 
This decrease in yield was partially offset by a 3.0% increase in
the balance of average interest earning assets.  Interest expense for
the 1996 quarter was $1,277,094, a $78,288, or 5.8%, decrease from 
the 1995 quarter due primarily to a decrease in the average rate on
interest bearing liabilities from 4.89% for 1995 to 4.61% for 1996. 
The overall net effect of these changes was an $8,224 increase in 
net interest income before provision for loan losses and a decrease
in the interest rate spread between interest earning assets and 
interest bearing liabilities from 3.19% in 1995 to 3.02% in 1996.

     Other income increased $32,814, or 23.1%, in 1996 compared to 
the same period in primarily as a result of an increase in net real
estate operations, which relates to net rental income from a
significant piece of real estate owned.

     General and administrative expenses increased $42,765, or 5.3%,
in 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  Increases were
experienced in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and 
equipment expenses, federal and other insurance premiums, and
miscellaneous other expenses.

     As a result of these and other factors, income before income
taxes decreased $1,727, or .3%, in 1996 versus 1995.  Income tax
expense of $187,000 during the period resulted in an effective 
income tax rate of 35.7% compared to 39.0% in 1995.

ASSET QUALITY

     Haywood Bancshares' allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
outstanding loans remained stable at .66% at June 30, 1996 compared
to .67% at December 31, 1995.  At June 30, 1996, nonaccrual loans 
were $1,380,000 compared to $1,285,000 at December 31, 1995.  There
were no charge-offs during the six month periods ended June 30, 1996
and 1995.  Management recorded provisions for loan losses of $10,000
for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  Management
remains conscious of the judgmental nature of the allowance for loan
losses and the need for periodically evaluating the risk inherent in
the loan portfolio.

LIQUIDITY

     Haywood Bancshares' asset-liability management policy is to
maintain and enhance the net interest income and provide adequate
liquidity to meet continuing loan demand, withdrawal requirements,
and pay for normal operating expenses.  Liquidity is primarily
provided by the ability to attract deposits, maturities in the
investment portfolio, loan repayments, and current earnings.

                                11
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     At June 30, 1996, Haywood Bancshares had approximately 
$16.7 million in cash, interest bearing balances in other banks,
federal funds sold, and investment securities.  Management believes
that the level of liquidity at June 30, 1996, is adequate and in
compliance with regulatory requirements.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Haywood Savings must comply with regulatory capital requirements
established by the FDIC.  At June 30, 1996 Haywood Savings' leverage
capital ratio (Tier I Capital less certain intangible assets to total
assets) was 14.79%.  The FDIC has not advised Haywood Savings of any
specific leverage ratio applicable to it.  Also, Haywood Savings
exceeds the minimum FDIC requirements for total risk-based capital
(8%).  The Holding Company must comply with FRB capital requirements
which are substantially the same.

REGULATORY MATTERS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Various proposals are being considered by the United States
Congress concerning a possible merger of the Bank Insurance Fund 
(BIF) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF).  Central to
that discussion is the recapitalization of the SAIF prior to such a
merger, and most of the proposals mandate a special one-time
assessment of SAIF-insured deposits.  As of March 31, 1995, the
proposed measurement date, the Bank had total SAIF deposits of
approximately $110 million.  While a final assessment rate is yet to
be determined, proposals have ranged up to $0.85 per $100 of
SAIF-insured deposits.  Due to the uncertainty as to which, if any,
of the various proposals will be adopted and the ultimate amount of
the assessment to be levied, the impact of the proposals and the
assessment is impossible to predict with certainty at this time.

     Management is not presently aware of any current recommendations
to the Corporation or to Haywood Savings by regulatory authorities
which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect
on the Corporation's liquidity, capital resources, or operations.
