Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1.       Significant Accounting Policies and Interim Reporting

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and 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 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 six month
periods ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000.

The accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to

4.       Earnings Per Share

The Bank is required to report a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings
per share ("EPS"). Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. For loss periods, diluted EPS is the same as
basic EPS due to the fact that including common stock equivalents computed as a
result of the 312,298 stock options outstanding in the calculation of diluted
EPS would not be dilutive. For periods where the Bank has positive earnings,
diluted EPS are presented due to the effect of those same options. The following
tables provide a computation and reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
------------------------------------------------

The following discussion presents an overview of the unaudited financial
statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 for
Capital Bank Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Capital Bank. This
discussion and analysis is intended to provide pertinent information concerning
financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. It
should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and
related footnotes contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Information set forth below contains various  forward-looking  statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  which  statements  represent  the  Company's
judgment  concerning the future and are subject to risks and uncertainties  that
could cause the Company's actual operating  results to differ  materially.  Such
forward-looking  statements  can be  identified  by the  use of  forward-looking
terminology, such as "may", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate",
"believe", or "continue", or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or
comparable   terminology.   The  Company  cautions  that  such   forward-looking
statements  are further  qualified  by  important  factors  that could cause the
Company's  actual  operating  results  to differ  materially  from  those in the
forward-looking  statements,  as well as the factors set forth in the  Company's
periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.

Overview

Capital Bank Corporation (the "Company") is a bank holding company incorporated
under the laws of North Carolina on August 10, 1998. The Company's primary
function is to serve as the holding company for its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Capital Bank. Capital Bank (the "Bank") was incorporated under the laws of the
State of North Carolina on May 30, 1997, and commenced operations as a
state-chartered banking corporation on June 20, 1997. The Bank is not a member
of the Federal Reserve System and has no subsidiaries. At a special meeting of
shareholders held on March 26, 1999, the shareholders of Capital Bank approved
the reorganization of Capital Bank into Capital Bank Corporation. In the holding
company reorganization, the shareholders of Capital Bank each received a right
to one share of Company stock for each share of Capital Bank stock that they
owned. Thus, the shareholders of Capital Bank before the holding company
reorganization are now the shareholders of the Company. In addition, on March
31, 1999 the Company completed its acquisition of Home Savings Bank of Siler
City SSB, Inc. in a stock-for-stock exchange in which the Company issued
1,181,038 shares of its Common Stock. On July 16, 1999, Home Savings Bank merged
with Capital Bank to form one subsidiary under Capital Bank Corporation. Prior
to the merger date, Home Savings Bank capitalized the holding company with an
upstream dividend of $100,000. In conjunction with the merger, the common stock
of Home Savings Bank was retired. In April, 2000, the Bank acquired 5 branches
from another area financial institution which was accounted for as a purchase
transaction. The transaction included branches in the eastern part of North
Carolina including Oxford (2), Warrenton (1), Seaboard (1), and Woodland (1). In
June, 2000, the Bank opened a new branch and moved its corporate headquarters to
an office on Glenwood Avenue in Raleigh, North Carolina.

As used in this report, the term "Company" refers to Capital Bank Corporation
and its subsidiary, Capital Bank, after the holding company reorganization.

The Company has no operations other than those of its subsidiary, Capital Bank.
The Bank is a full-service community bank. The Company's profitability depends
principally upon the net interest income, provision for loan losses, noninterest
income and noninterest expenses of the bank.

Financial Condition

Total consolidated assets of the Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
were $315 million compared to $222 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of
$93 million, or 42%. On June 30, 2000, loans were $215 million, up $55 million,
or 35%, compared to December 31, 1999. Investment securities were $54 million
and federal funds sold were $4 million at period end. During the six month
period, cash and cash equivalents, including federal funds sold increased by $25
million due primarily to monies received from the acquisition of 5 branches from
another area financial institution where the deposits and liabilities assumed
exceeded the loans and other assets received by about $37 million. As of June
30, 2000, a large portion of those funds had not yet been invested in securities
or used to fund new loans. Earning assets represented 95% of total assets on
June 30, 2000. The allowance for loan losses on June 30, 2000 was $3.2 million
and represented approximately 1.49% of total loans. Management believes that the
amount of the allowance is adequate at this time.


                                      -9-
<PAGE>
Deposits on June 30, 2000 were $256 million, an increase of $93 million or 57%
from December 31, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of
about $66 million in deposits from another area financial institution and a
large advertising campaign run by the Company with special rates and terms on
certain Certificates of Deposit, whose growth of $66 million represented 60% of
the total deposit growth. Borrowings decreased from $20 million at December 31,
1999 to $15 million at June 30, 2000, as the Company used funds received from
the increase in deposits to pay down a higher rate Federal Home Loan Bank
advance. Total consolidated stockholders' equity was $32 million at June 30,
2000, an increase of $871,000 from December 31, 1999, due to net income
partially offset by declines in the market value of available for sale
securities.

Results of Operations

For the three month period ended June 30, 2000, the Company reported net income
of $547,000 or $.15 per share compared to $101,000 or $.02 per share in the
second quarter of 1999. For the six month period ended June 30, 2000, the
Company reported net income of $947,000 or $.26 per share compared to a loss of
$1.4 million or $.39 per share for the same period of 1999. Included in the
income for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 were $90,000 of certain
nonrecurring costs related to the acquisition of five branches from another area
financial institution. Included in the loss for the six month period ended June
30, 1999 were certain nonrecurring charges related to the establishment of the
bank holding company and the acquisition of Home Savings of $1.6 million.
Excluding those costs, the Company had consolidated net income from operations
of approximately $230,000 or $0.06 per share for the six month period ended June
30, 1999.

Net interest income in the second quarter was $4.9 million, up 56% compared to
$2.7 million in the second quarter of 1999. The Company's net interest margin
(net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets) was 3.80% and
3.81% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000.

The provision for loan losses was $255,000 and $510,000 for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2000. This provision was used to build the
allowance for loan losses to a prudent level to support the Company's loan
growth. At June 30, 2000, the allowance for loan losses was 1.49% of total
loans. Loans 90 days or more past due totaled $341,000 and represented .16% of
total loans on June 30, 2000.

Non-interest income for the three and six months period ended June 30, 2000, was
$529,000 and $906,000, respectively, compared to $300,000 and $572,000 for the
same periods in 1999. The increases in non-interest income are primarily
attributable to increases in fees associated with deposit accounts relative to
the overall increase in deposits.

Non-interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2000,
was $2.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively, compared to $1.6 million and
$4.7 million for the same periods in 1999. Salaries and employee benefits,
representing the largest expense category during the period, increased from
$977,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six month periods in 1999 to $1.4
million and $2.5 million for the same periods in 2000. These increases reflect
an increase in the number of personnel employed by the Company as the Company
must maintain adequate staffing levels in order to meet customer needs and to
keep pace with its expected growth. As of June 30, 2000 the Company had 105
full-time equivalent employees. Mergers and acquisitions

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
related expenses, the second largest expense category during the six month
period ended June 30, 1999, decreased from $1.6 million in 1999 relating to the
establishment of a holding company and the merger of Home Savings Bank, to
$90,000 in 2000 relating to the acquisition of five branches from another area
financial institution. There were no mergers and acquisitions related expenses
during the three month period ended June 30, 1999. Occupancy costs, the third
highest component of non-interest expenses, increased from $126,000 and $238,00
for the three and six month periods in 1999 to $173,000 and $311,000 for the
same periods in 2000. This increase is primarily associated with the addition of
5 branches as a result of the acquisition previously mentioned and the opening
of new branches in Lee County and Wake County. Although management expects
noninterest expense to increase on an absolute basis as the Company continues
its growth, these expenses as a percentage of asset size and operating revenue
are anticipated to decrease over time.

At December  31,  1999,  the Company had net deferred tax assets of $1.6 million
resulting from timing  differences  associated with the deductibility of certain
expenses reflected on the financial statements. Due to prior net operating
losses, a valuation allowance was established for the net deferred tax assets in
the amount of $1.3  million.  During  2000,  the Company has  generated  taxable
income and the  valuation  allowance  has been  reversed  to offset  current tax
expense  of  $654,000.   Management  will  continue  to  monitor  its  financial
performance to determine when the remaining allowance should be reversed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's liquidity management involves planning to meet the Company's
anticipated funding needs at a reasonable cost. Liquidity management is guided
by policies formulated by the Company's senior management and the
Asset/Liability Management Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company had
$36 million in its most liquid assets, cash and cash equivalents at quarter end.
The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank
borrowings and capital. Core deposits (total deposits less certificates of
deposits in the amount of $100,000 or more), one of the most stable sources of
liquidity, together with equity capital funded 80% of total assets at June 30,
2000. In addition, the Company has the ability to take advantage of various
other funding programs available from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.

Stockholder's equity was $32 million or $8.75 per share at June 30, 2000.
Management believes this level of shareholders' equity provides adequate capital
to support the Company's growth for at least the next 12 months and to maintain
a well-capitalized position. At June 30, 2000, Capital Bank had a Tier 1 capital
ratio of 13.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.2%, and a leverage ratio
of 9.6%. These ratios substantially exceed the federal regulatory minimum
requirements for a "well-capitalized" bank. Management's challenge is to use
this capital to implement a prudent growth strategy of branch and bank
acquisitions while growing the existing branch structure through quality service
and responsiveness to its customers' needs, although there is no assurance that
the Company will meet these objectives.

Effects of Inflation

Inflation can have a significant effect on the operating results of all
industries. However, management believes the inflationary factors are not as
critical to the banking industry as they are to other industries, due to the
high concentration of relatively short-duration monetary assets



                                      -11-
<PAGE>
in the banking industry. Inflation does, however, have some impact on the
Company's growth, earnings and total assets, and on its need to closely monitor
capital levels.

Interest rates are significantly  affected by inflation,  but it is difficult to
assess the impact,  since neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes in
the various inflation indices coincides with changes in interest rates.
Inflation does impact the economic value of longer-term  interest-bearing assets
and  liabilities,  but the Company  attempts to limit its  long-term  assets and
liabilities.
