              HAYWOOD BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           June 30, 1998
                             (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
     and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, are not
     necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
     for the year ending December 31, 1998.  The Consolidated
     Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 1997
     was derived from the Corporation's audited Consolidated
     Statement of Financial Condition as of December 31, 1997,
     included in the Corporation's 1997 Annual Report on Form
     10-K.
     
(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, 1997 consolidated financial statements of the
     1997 annual report.  Also see note (4) to the consolidated
     financial statements for accounting policies related to
     the investment in mortgage servicing rights.
     
     On January 1, 1998 the Corporation adopted Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
     Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130").  SFAS No. 130
     establishes standards for reporting and displaying
     comprehensive income and its components (revenues,
     expense, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose
     financial statements.  This Statement requires that an
     enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income
     by their nature in the financial statement and (b) display
     the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income
     separately from retained earnings and additional
     paid-in-capital in the equity section of a statement of
     financial position.  In accordance with the provisions of
     SFAS No. 130, comparative financial statements presented
     for earlier periods have been reclassified to reflect the
     provisions of the statement. 
     
     Comprehensive income is the change in equity of a
     Corporation during the period from transactions and other
     events and circumstances from nonowner sources.
     Comprehensive income is divided into net income and other
     comprehensive income.  The Corporation's other
     comprehensive income for the three and six months ended
     June 30, 1998 and 1997 consists of unrealized gains and
     losses on certain investments in debt and equity
     securities. Comprehensive income(loss) for the three months
     ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is ($315,221) and $500,726,
     respectively.  Comprehensive income for the six months
     ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 is $241,005 and $581,785,
     respectively.
                             8<PAGE>

(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.  The
    Corporation has funded all of its $3,000,000 commitment.  
 
    The investment is accounted for under the equity method. 
    Management periodically evaluates the fair value of the
    mortgage servicing rights owned by DMCLP using appraisals
    prepared by a third party and adjusts the carrying value of
    their investment when there is impairment.   

    During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Corporation
    recognized an impairment valuation adjustment totaling
    $1,234,521.  The impairment and write-down of the mortgage
    servicing rights is due to significant prepayments of the
    underlying mortgage loans due to a decline in mortgage loan
    interest rates.  Total earnings (loss) were ($1,215,792) and
    $23,721 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
    respectively, and ($1,176,957) and $61,995 for the six
    months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

(5) Allowance for Loan Losses
    ------------------------- 
    The following is a reconciliation of the allowance for loan
    losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998 and
    1997:

(6) Borrowings
    ---------- 
    The Corporation has $10,500,000 in advances from the Federal
    Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.  These advances bear interest at
    a floating rate equal to one month LIBOR and mature on
    February 24, 1999.

(7) Earnings per Share
    ------------------
    The Corporation adopted the provisions of Statement of 
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per
    Share", (SFAS No. 128) during 1997.  The statement
    establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings
    per share (EPS).  In accordance with SFAS No. 128, all prior
    period EPS has been restated. Basic EPS is computed by
    dividing net income by the weighted average number of common
    shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the
    potential dilution that could occur if the Corporation's
    dilutive stock options were exercised.  The numerator of the 
    basic net income per share computation is the same as the
    numerator of the diluted net income per share computation
    for all periods presented.  A reconciliation of the
    denominator of the basic net income EPS computation is as
    follows:

(8) Other Accounting Changes
 
    In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
    issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
    "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
    Information" ("SFAS No. 131").  SFAS 131 establishes
    standards for the way that public businesses report
    information about operating segments in annual financial
    statements and requires that those enterprise report
    selected information about operating segments in interim
    financial reports issued to shareholders.  It also
    establishes standards for related disclosures about products
    and services, geographic areas, and major customers.  This
    Statement is effective for financial statements for periods
    beginning after December 15, 1997 and in the initial year of
    application, comparative information for earlier years is to
    be restated.  The Corporation will adopt SFAS No. 131 in
    1998 without any significant impact on its consolidated
    financial statements as the Corporation operates as one
    segment.
 
    In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
    issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132,
    "Employer's Disclosure about Pensions and Other
    Postretirement Benefits" ("SFAS No. 132").  SFAS No. 132
    standardizes the disclosure requirements of pensions and
    other postretirement benefits.  It does not change any 
    measurement or recognition provisions, and thus will not
    materially impact the Corporation.  SFAS No. 132 is
    effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
    1997.  The Corporation will present the required
    disclosures in its financial statements for the year ended
    December 31, 1998.

                                                    (Continued)
                            10<PAGE>

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
     issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,
     "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
     Activities" ("SFAS No. 133").  SFAS No. 133 establishes
     accounting and reporting standards for derivative 
     instruments and for hedging activities.  SFAS No. 133 is
     effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
     after June 15, 1999.  This statement will be adopted by the
     Corporation in 1999 without any impact on its consolidated
     financial statements as the Corporation does not have any
     derivative financial instruments nor is involved in any
     hedging activities.

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

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 decreased to
$243,981, or $.20 per basic and diluted share, from $725,876 or
$.59 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 1997. 
The decrease in net income was due to a $1,177,000 loss on
investment in mortgage servicing rights.  This loss was
partially offset by a $403,000 pre-tax gain on the sale of two
outparcels to the Waynesville Plaza Shopping Center which the
Corporation had been holding as real estate acquired in
settlement of loans.  In addition, net interest income increased
by $206,000 and general and administrative expenses decreased
by $43,000. 

Total interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was
$5,595,420, a $393,000 increase from the same period in 1997. 
The reason for the change was an increase in the average balance
of interest earning assets of approximately $10.9 million due to
the purchase of investment securities.  The average yield on
interest earning assets decreased by 4 basis points to 7.71%
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 7.75% for the
same period in 1997.  The decrease in average yield is mainly
due to a decrease in average yield on loans receivable from
8.01% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to 7.98% for the
same period in 1998 due to competitive pressures in the
marketplace for loans. 

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998
increased from 1997 by $188,000 mainly due to an increase in the
average balance of interest bearing liabilities of $8.0 million,
or 6.6%.  The increase is mainly due to the Corporation
borrowing $10.5 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB") in the first quarter of 1997  The rate
paid on interest bearing liabilities remained fairly constant
between periods.  

The overall net effect of these changes was a $206,000 increase
in net interest income and a decrease in the interest rate
spread between interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities from 2.93% in 1997 to 2.90% in 1998.  

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

Other income decreased $1,015,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997 due to a $1,235,000
impairment valuation adjustment to an equity investment in a
mortgage servicing partnership.  The underlying mortgage
servicing rights were written down to their fair value based on
an independent appraisal.  The impairment and subsequent
write-down of the mortgage servicing rights is due to
significant prepayments of the underlying mortgage loans due to
a decline in mortgage loan interest rates.  Total loss on
mortgage servicing rights was $1,777,000 for the six month
period.  The investment in mortgage servicing rights is
evaluated periodically by management for impairment and no
assurance can be given that additional impairment valuation
adjustments will not be required in the future.  Also see
footnote (4) to the consolidated financial statements.
                             12<PAGE>
<PAGE>
This loss was partially offset by the sale of the outparcels to
the Waynesville Plaza Shopping Center for a gain of
approximately $403,000.  Total proceeds from the sales were
$682,000 which were invested in loans receivable and other
investments.  The gain on the sale of real estate acquired in
settlement of loans was partially offset by a decrease in real
estate operations, net of approximately $204,000.  In 1997, the
Corporation sold the Waynesville Plaza Shopping Center and as a
result no longer receives rental and other income associated
with operating the shopping center.

General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately
$43,000, or 2.7%, between six month periods.  The decrease is
due to a decrease in federal and other insurance premiums,
salaries and employee benefits, and occupancy and equipment
expense.

As a result of these and other factors, income before income
taxes decreased $765,895 for the six months ended June 30,1998
versus 1997.  Income tax expense of $149,000 during the period
resulted in an effective income tax rate of 37.9% compared to
37.4% in 1997.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months ended June
30, 1998 and 1997
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
($390,802), or ($.31) per basic and diluted share as compared to
net income of  $415,812 or $.33 per basic and diluted share for
the same period in 1997.  The net loss  was due to a $1,216,000
loss on investment in mortgage servicing rights.

Total interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1998
was $2,789,798, a $29,000 increase from the same period in 1997. 
Average interest earning assets increased approximately $5.6
million between periods while the average yield on interest
earning assets decreased from 7.90% for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 to 7.66% for the three months ended June 30,
1998. 

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998
decreased from the same period in 1997 by $10,000 due to an
increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities
of $2.2 million and a decrease in the rate paid on interest
bearing liabilities of 12 basis points.

The overall net effect of these changes was a $39,000 increase
in net interest income and a decrease in the interest rate
spread between interest earning assets and interest bearing
liabilities from 2.96% in 1997 to 2.84% in 1998.  


Other income decreased $1,329,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997 due to a
$1,235,000 impairment valuation adjustment to an equity
investment in a mortgage servicing partnership as discussed
above.  Total loss on mortgage servicing rights was $1,216,000
for the three month period.  Also contributing to the change in
other income is a decrease in income from real estate operations
of approximately $108,000.  In 1997, the Corporation sold the
Waynesville Plaza Shopping Center and as a result no longer
receives rental and other income associated with operating
the shopping center.

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately
$14,000, or 1.8%, between three month periods.  The increase is
due to an increase in federal and other insurance premiums.
                             13<PAGE>
<PAGE>
As a result of these and other factors, income before income
taxes decreased $1,303,614 for the three months ended June
30,1998 versus 1997.  Income tax benefit of $258,000 during the
period resulted in an effective income tax rate of 39.8%
compared to 36.5% in 1997.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1998 and December
31, 1997
- ---------------------------------------------------------------

Total assets decreased by $1.8 million or 1.15% from $153.5
million at December 31, 1997 to $151.7 million at June 30, 1998. 
The Corporation experienced little loan growth during the
quarter with the loan portfolio decreasing by approximately $1.0
million. Loan originations for the period were approximately
$14.1 million.  The Corporation also had deposit run-off
of approximately $1.7 million.

In addition, the investment in mortgage servicing rights
decreased by approximately $1.1 million due to the impairment of
the asset.  As discussed above, the impairment resulted from the
significant prepayment of the underlying mortgage loans during
1998.  

Total liabilities decreased by $1.7 million to $129.6 million at
June 30, 1998.  The decrease is due to a decrease in
interest-bearing deposits of approximately $1.7 million.  The
decrease is mainly in certificates of deposit and is
attributable to competitive pressures in the marketplace for
deposits.

Stockholders' equity decreased by $73,000 from $22.2 million at
December 31, 1997 to $22.1 million at June 30, 1998.  This
decrease is due to quarterly dividends of $.15 per share or
$375,000 offset by net income for the six months of $244,000.
   
Asset Quality
- -------------

At June 30, 1998, the Corporation had approximately $902,000 of
loans in nonaccrual status as compared to $583,000 at December
31, 1997.  At June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, the
Corporation had no loans that were considered to be impaired
under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan".  There were
no loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still
accruing at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.  In the opinion
of management, there are no other loans which cause management
to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to
comply with the present repayment terms which could result in
becoming classified as problem assets.  The Corporation's
allowance for loan losses was $748,547 or .66% of outstanding
loans at June 30, 1998.  This compares to .64% at December 31,
1997.

The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate
of an amount adequate to provide for potential losses inherent
in the loan portfolio.  The adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses and the related provision are based upon management's
evaluation of the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio
under current economic conditions with consideration to such
factors as financial condition of the borrower, collateral
values, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the
relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding
loans, and delinquency trends.  Management believes the
allowance for loan losses is adequate.  While management uses
all available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in
economic conditions.  Various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically
review the Corporation's allowance for loan losses.  Such
agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions to
the allowance based on their judgments about information
available to them at the time of their examination.

Real estate acquired in settlement of loans decreased from
approximately $246,000 at December 31, 1997 to $7,192 at June
30, 1998 due primarily to the sale of two outparcels to the
Waynesville Plaza Shopping Center.

Year 2000 Planning
- ------------------
The Corporation has been assessing possible effects of the Year
2000 problem in connection with its technology investments and
operations.  Management believes that the Corporation has
limited exposure and expects the cost of addressing the Year
2000 issues to be approximately $140,000.  A Year 2000 plan
has been approved by the board of directors.  

A part of the Corporation's plan in addressing the Year 2000
Issue was to contact all third party vendors, request
documentation regarding their Year 2000 compliance efforts, and
analyze the responses.  This was a significant phase because the
Corporation does not perform in-house programming, and thus
is dependent on external vendors to ensure and modify, if
necessary, the hardware, or service it provides to the
Corporation to be Year 2000 complaint.  This phase is now
virtually complete and the Corporation is currently
following up on any issues or concerns identified in the
responses received, as necessary.

The Corporation is installing a new mainframe computer system
and teller terminals in October 1998 that will be Year 2000
compliant.  Both systems will be tested prior to December 31,
1998.

The Corporation is also in the process of developing a
contingency plan.  The Corporation's efforts to date have been
concentrated on remediation efforts as discussed above.

The Year 2000 problem creates risk for the Corporation from
unforeseen problems in its own computer systems and from third
parties.  Such failures of the Corporation and/or third parties'
computer systems could have a material impact on the
Corporation's ability to conduct business.

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 June 30, 1998, Haywood Bancshares had approximately $31
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, 1998,
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 June 30, 1998, Haywood Savings was in compliance
with all of the aforementioned capital requirements and is
deemed to be "well capitalized".  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.
