                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1997
                                  (Unaudited)

(1)  Presentation of Financial Statements
     ------------------------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Haywood Bancshares, Inc. (the Corporation) and its wholly-owned
subsidiary Haywood Savings Bank, SSB (Haywood Savings).  All
intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in
consolidation.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, as well as the amounts of income and expenses during
the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

All adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the results for the interim periods presented have been included
(such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature).  Operating
results for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 1997.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

For a description of the significant accounting and reporting
policies, see note (1) in the notes to the December 31, 1996
consolidated financial statements of the 1996 annual report.

(3)  Cash and Cash Equivalents
     -------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks,
interest-bearing balances in other banks, and federal funds sold. 
Generally, cash and cash equivalents are considered to have
maturities of three months or less.

(4)  Investment in Mortgage Servicing Rights
     ---------------------------------------

During 1996, the Corporation made a $3,000,000 commitment to be a
limited partner in Dovenmuehle Mortgage Company L.P. ("DMCLP")
Tranche VIII Servicing Division of Dovenmuehle Mortgage Inc.
("DMI").  DMI provides mortgage servicing for a national
portfolio of residential, multi-family and commercial mortgage
loans.  These loans are owned or securitized by national mortgage
agencies, and by a variety of private banks, thrifts, insurance
companies and other loan investors.  DMI formed DMCLP as a
funding vehicle to purchase portfolios of the Federal National
Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation nonrecourse residential servicing.  DMI provides the
mortgage servicing for these portfolios.  Under this structure
investors in DMCLP invest in separate tranches, each of which has
its own identified servicing rights and each of which may be
owned by one or a group of investors.  The equity investors in
each tranche benefit from a financial return based solely on the
performance of the mortgage servicing rights purchased for the
tranche.

During the first quarter of 1997, the Corporation funded an
additional $730,125 of its $3,000,000 commitment.  The investment
is accounted for under the equity method and equity earnings of
$38,274 were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

</TABLE>

(6)  Stock Options
     -------------

During the three month period ended March 31, 1997, 30,000
incentive stock options were exercised at an option price of $5.63
per share, and 10,000 non-incentive stock options were exercised
at an option price of $5 per share.

(7)  Borrowings
     ----------

In the first quarter of 1997, the Corporation obtained
$10,500,000 in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta.  The term of the loan is two years, with interest only
payments monthly, at a floating rate equal to one month LIBOR.

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

In August 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125 ("SFAS No.
125"), "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial
Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities."  SFAS No. 125
provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
using a financial-components approach that focuses on control of
the asset or liability.  It requires that an entity recognize
only assets it controls and liabilities it has incurred and
should derecognize assets only when control has been surrendered
and derecognize liabilities only when they have been
extinguished.  SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be applied
prospectively.  The Corporation adopted this Statement on January
1, 1997 without any impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No.
128"), "Earnings per Share."  SFAS No. 128 establishes standards
of computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies
to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common
stock.  This Statement simplifies the standards for computing
earnings per share previously found in APB Opinion No. 15,
Earnings Per Share, and makes them comparable to international
EPS standards.  It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with
a presentation of basic EPS.  It also requires dual presentation
of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for
all entities with complex capital structures and requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS
computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS
computation.  SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements
issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and requires
restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented.  The
Corporation plans to adopt SFAS No. 128 in 1997 without any
significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months ended 
March 31, 1997 and 1996
- ----------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the first quarter of 1997 declined to $310,064, or
$0.25 per share, from $370,992 or $0.29 per share, during the
first quarter of 1996.  Average shares outstanding were 1,224,234
and 1,287,939 during the first quarters of 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  The decline in net income was attributable to a
decrease in net interest income and an increase in general and
administrative expenses which was partially offset by an increase
in other income. 

Total interest income in 1997 was $2,440,746, a $36,158 increase
from the same period in 1996.  The primary reason for the change
was an increase in the balance of average interest earning assets
of approximately $681,000.  This is due to the purchase of
approximately $14.7 million in investment and mortgage-backed
securities available for sale during the first quarter 1997.  The
increase in the average volume was offset by a decrease in
average yield on interest earning assets of 15 basis points to
7.59% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to
7.74% for the same period in 1996.

Interest expense in 1997 increased from 1996 by $74,527, or
5.89%, mainly due to an increase in the average balance of
interest bearing liabilities of $5.0 million, or 4.56%.  The
increase is due to the Corporation borrowing $10.5 million in
advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"). 
The rate paid on interest bearing liabilities remained fairly
constant between periods, increasing only 6 basis points.  

The overall net effect of these changes was a $110,685 decrease
in net interest income and a decrease in the interest rate spread
between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities
from 3.10% in 1996 to 2.89% in 1997.  

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

</TABLE>

Other income increased $31,205 or 16.6%, in 1997 compared to the
same period in 1996 primarily as a result of equity earnings of
$38,274 on investment in mortgage servicing rights.

General and administrative expenses increased $9,448, or 1.18%,
in 1997 compared to 1996.  Other expenses increased due to
increases in various operating expenses.  Offsetting this
increase were decreases in federal and other insurance premium
expense due to the lower assessment rate for insurance of
deposits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF")
following its recapitalization in the fourth quarter of 1996.

As a result of these and other factors, income before income
taxes decreased $88,928, or 15%, in 1997 versus 1996.  Income tax
expense of $194,000 during the period resulted in an effective
income tax rate of 38.5% compared to 37.4% in 1996.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 1997 and December
31, 1996
- ----------------------------------------------------------------

Total assets increased by $15.4 million or 11.8% from $130.9
million at December 31, 1996 to $146.3 million at March 31, 1997. 
The increase is mainly due to an increase in investment and
mortgage-backed securities available for sale of $14.4 million. 
In addition, the Corporation's loan portfolio increased by
approximately $1.0 million during the three months ended March
31, 1997.  Loan originations for the period were approximately
$6.8 million.

Total liabilities increased by $15.3 million to $125.7 million at
March 31, 1997.  The increase is due to the Corporation borrowing
$10.5 million in advances from the FHLB and deposit growth of
approximately $6 million.  Such funds were invested in investment
and mortgage-backed securities available for sale as noted above,
which is expected to yield a spread of approximately 1%.

Stockholders' equity increased by $150,000 from $20.5 million at
December 31, 1996 to $20.7 million at March 31, 1997.  This
increase is due to the exercise of 40,000 stock options which
increased stockholders' equity by $219,000 and net income of
$310,000 for the quarter.  This was offset by a net unrealized
loss on securities of $229,000 and a quarterly dividend of $.14
per share or $175,000.

Asset Quality
- -------------

The Corporation's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
outstanding loans remained stable at .65% at March 31, 1997
compared to .66% at December 31, 1996.  At March 31, 1997,
nonperforming assets, which consist of nonaccrual loans, were
$1,269,000 compared to $814,000 at December 31, 1996.  Management
attributes the increase in nonaccrual loans to seasonal factors
and is unaware of any significant potential problem loans or any
other concentrations of credit risk which exist in the portfolio. 
There were no charge-offs during the three month periods ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996.  Management recorded provisions for loan
losses of $5,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1997
and 1996.  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
- ---------

The Corporation's 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.

At March 31, 1997, Haywood Bancshares had approximately $27
million in cash, interest bearing balances in other banks,
federal funds sold, investment securities and mortgage-backed
securities.  Management believes that the level of liquidity at
March 31, 1997, is adequate and in compliance with regulatory
requirements.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
- ---------------------------------------


The consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial
position and operating results in terms of historical dollars
without consideration for changes in the relative purchasing
power of money over time due to inflation.  The assets and
liabilities of the Corporation are primarily monetary in nature
and changes in interest rates have a greater impact on the
Corporation's performance than the effect of inflation.

Capital Resources
- -----------------

As a North Carolina-charted savings bank, Haywood Savings is
subject to the capital requirements of the FDIC and the N.C.
Administrator of Savings Institutions ("the Administrator").  The
FDIC requires Haywood Savings to maintain minimum ratios of Tier
I capital to total risk-weighted assets and total capital to
risk-weighted assets of 4% and 8%, respectively.  To be well-
capitalized, the FDIC requires ratios of Tier I capital to total
risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted assets of
6% and 10%, respectively.  Tier I capital consists of total
stockholders' equity calculated in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles less intangible assets, and total
capital is comprised of Tier I capital plus certain adjustments,
the only one of which is applicable to Haywood Savings is the
allowance for loan losses.  Risk-weighted assets reflect Haywood
Savings' on- and off-balance sheet exposures after such exposures
have been adjusted for their relative risk levels using formulas
set forth in FDIC regulations.  Haywood Savings is also subject
to a leverage capital requirement, which calls for a minimum
ratio of Tier I capital (as defined above) to quarterly average
total assets of 3%, and a ratio of 5% to be "well capitalized." 
The Administrator requires a net worth equal to at least 5% of
assets.  At March 31, 1997, Haywood Savings was in compliance
with all of the aforementioned capital requirements.  The
Corporation must comply with FRB capital requirements which are
substantially the same.

Regulatory Matters and Contingencies
- ------------------------------------

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.
