Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.    Significant Accounting Policies and Interim Reporting

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Capital Bank Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Capital Bank (the "Bank") and Capital Bank Investment Services
("CBIS"). The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. They do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and accompanying footnotes in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. 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 and all significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation. The results of operations for the three month period ended
March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the Company's
audited consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies followed are as set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to
Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2002.

2.    Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes to the Company's
equity, with the exception of transactions with shareholders ("other
comprehensive income"). The Company's only components of other comprehensive
income relate to unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale,
net of the applicable income tax effect. The Company's comprehensive income and
information concerning the Company's other comprehensive income items for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are as shown in the Company's
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 (unaudited).

3.    Earnings Per Share

The Company is required to report both 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. Diluted EPS assumes the conversion, exercise or
issuance of all potential common stock instruments, such as stock options,
unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. For the
Company, EPS is adjusted for outstanding stock options using the Treasury Stock
method in order to compute diluted EPS. The following tables provide a
computation and reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

</TABLE>

Options to purchase 673,000 shares of common stock were used in the diluted
calculation. All options currently issued under existing plans were included in
the diluted calculation because the average fair market value of a common share
of stock was greater than each option exercise price.

On December 31, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB" or the
"Board") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Statement
No. 148 ("FAS 148"), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and
Disclosure, which amends SFAS Statement No. 123 ("FAS 123"), Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation. FAS 148 allows for three methods of transition for
those companies that adopt FAS 123's provisions for fair value recognition. Two
new transition alternatives are the Modified Prospective Approach and Limited
Retrospective Approach. Under FAS 148, the prospective transition method in FAS
123 resulting in the "ramp-up" effect will not be available for enterprises that
elect to initially apply the fair value method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2003. In
addition, the provisions of FAS 148 require that the accumulated liability or
equity balances accrued under APB Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25"), Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees, be reversed through additional paid-in-capital as of
the beginning of the period that FAS 123 is adopted if those liabilities or
contra-equity balances would not have been recognized under FAS 123 (e.g.,
variable stock option awards under APB 25). Additionally, companies are required
to disclose for each period for which an income statement is presented an
accounting policy footnote that includes (i) the method of accounting for stock
options, (ii) total stock compensation cost that is recognized in the income
statement and would have been recognized had FAS 123 been adopted for
recognition purposes as of its effective date; and (iii) pro forma net income
and earnings per share (where applicable) that would have been reported had FAS
123 been adopted for recognition purposes as of its effective date.

These disclosures are required to be made in annual financial statements and in
quarterly information provided to shareholders without regard to whether the
entity has adopted FAS 123 for recognition purposes. The Company implemented the
disclosure provisions of FAS No. 148 beginning with its December 31, 2002
consolidated financial statements.

The Company did not grant any options to purchase its shares of common stock
during the first quarter of 2003, so no pro forma disclosures are required for
the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

4.    New Pronouncements

In April 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149
"Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"
("FAS 149"). FASB Statements No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133") and No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", establish accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments including derivatives embedded in other
contracts (collectively referred to as "derivatives") and for hedging
activities. FAS 149 amends FAS 133 for certain decisions made by FASB as part of
the Derivatives Implementation Group ("DIG") process. FAS 149 contains
amendments relating to FASB Concepts Statement No. 7, "Using Cash Flow
Information and Present Value in Accounting Measurements", and FASB Statements
No. 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities", No. 91 "Accounting
for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans
and Initial Direct Costs of Leases", No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows", and No.
126, "Exemption from Certain Required Disclosures about Financial Instruments
for Certain Nonpublic Entities". The Company is presently evaluating the effect
of this pronouncement.

Financial Condition

Total consolidated assets of the Company at March 31, 2003 were $856.1 million
compared to $841.0 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $15.1 million,
or 1.8%. This increase was primarily due to normal internal growth. On March 31,
2003, loans, including loans held for sale of $12.5 million, were $622.0
million, up $21.4 million, or 3.6%, compared to December 31, 2002. At March 31,
2003, investment securities were $155.8 million and federal funds sold were
$13.6 million up $531,000, and down $5.1 million, respectively, from December
31, 2002. During the three month period ended March 31, 2003, cash and cash
equivalents, including federal funds sold, decreased by $6.7 million from
December 31, 2002. The decreases in cash and federal funds were caused in part
by the need to fund strong internal loan growth.

Earning assets represented 93.4% of total assets as of March 31, 2003. The
allowance for loan losses as of March 31, 2003 was $9.9 million and represented
approximately 1.59% of total loans. Management believes that the amount of the
allowance is adequate at this time.

Deposits as of March 31, 2003 were $652.7 million, an increase of $7.8 million
or 1.2% from December 31, 2002, due primarily as a result of internal growth.
During the three month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company experienced a
shift of approximately $25.0 million from money markets and interest checking
into time deposits from December 31, 2002. This movement was largely
attributable to a decrease in money market rates offered by the Company,
primarily as a result of a promotion started in 2002 that expired during the
first quarter of 2003. At March 31, 2003, certificates of deposit represented
60.5% of total deposits compared to 57.4% at December 31, 2002. During the three
month period ended March 31, 2003, certificates of deposit increased to $394.9
million, an increase of $24.4 million, or 6.6% from $370.4 million at December
31, 2002. At the same time, noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts
increased to $59.0 million at March 31, 2003, an increase of $8.8 million, or
17.4%, from $50.2 million at December 31, 2002. Savings, interest bearing demand
deposit, and money market accounts decreased to $198.8 million at March 31,
2003, a decrease of $25.4 million, or 11.3%, from $224.2 million at December 31,
2002, primarily as a result of the end of the promotion described above.
Borrowings increased to $104.8 million, or 7.1%, at March 31, 2003 from $97.9
million as of December 31, 2002. Additional borrowings were used to fund strong
loan growth.

Total consolidated shareholders' equity was $76.5 million as of March 31, 2003,
an increase of $1.0 million from December 31, 2002. The increase can be
primarily attributed to net income of $1.3 million, minus dividends paid during
the quarter.

Results of Operations

For the three month period ended March 31, 2003, the Company reported net income
of $1.3 million, or $.19 per diluted share, compared to $1.0 million, or $.19
per diluted share, for the same three month period ended March 31, 2002. The
results for the three month period ended March 31, 2002 do not include the
relative impact of High Street Corporation, which the Company acquired on
December 1, 2002.

Net interest income rose 24.4% from the three month period ended March 31, 2002,
from $4.8 million to $5.9 million, despite a 50 basis point drop in the prime
rate in November 2002 which negatively impacted interest-bearing accounts. The
rise in net interest income resulted from both internal growth as well as the
impact of the acquisition of High Street Corporation. The net interest margin
dropped 25 basis points year-over-year to 3.03% for the three months ended March
31, 2003 from 3.28% for the same time period for 2002. The drop in the net
interest margin can be largely attributed to an asset-sensitive balance sheet in
which the yield on the Company's earning assets adjusted downward at a faster
rate than the interest paid on deposits.

The provisions for loan losses were $600,000 and $525,000, respectively, for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002. At March 31, 2003, the
allowance for loan losses was 1.59% of total loans compared with 1.56% at
December 31, 2002. Loans 90 days or more past due or in nonaccrual status
totaled $6.2 million and represented 0.75% of total assets as of March 31, 2003.

Noninterest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2003, was $2.6
million compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2002. The $1.0 million
increase in noninterest income to $1.2 million during the three month period
ended March 31, 2003 from $655,000 during the three month period ended March 31,
2002 was primarily attributable to a substantial rise in fee income recorded by
the Bank's mortgage department as a result of the lower interest rate
environment and increased mortgage refinance business. In addition, the Company
took security gains during the current quarter of $251,000 compared to $84,000
for the same period in 2002.

Fees for non-sufficient funds increased to $411,000 during the three months
ended March 31, 2003 from $295,000 during the same period in 2002. Other
increases in noninterest income from the three month period ended March 31, 2002
to the same period in 2003 include revenues generated by the government lending
department, which recorded fees of $236,000 in the three month period ended
March 31, 2003 compared to $36,000 in the three month period ended March 31,
2002 and increases in cash surrender values of bank owned life insurance
policies, which increased to $85,000 in the three month period ended March 31,
2003 from $7,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2002 as a result of
additional policies acquired with the acquisition of First Community. Finally,
the deposit base on which fees are earned increased substantially during the
three month period ended March 31, 2003 as a result of acquisition of each of
First Community Corporation and High Street Corporation.

Noninterest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 was $5.9
million compared to $4.1 million for the corresponding period in 2002. Salaries
and employee benefits, representing the largest expense category, increased to
$3.4 million, for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 from $2.2 million
for the three month period ended March 31, 2002. This increase reflects an
increase in the number of personnel employed by the Company due to the


                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>

acquisition of High Street Corporation and management's intention to maintain
adequate staffing levels to meet customer needs and keep pace with expected
growth. As of March 31, 2003, the Company had 231 full-time equivalent employees
compared to 179 for the same date in 2002.

Occupancy costs, the second highest component of noninterest expenses, increased
to $532,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 from $368,000 for
the same period in 2002. This increase is primarily associated with the
acquisition of the four additional branches in connection with the acquisition
of First Community Corporation and three additional branches in connection with
the acquisition of High Street Corporation. 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.

Income tax expense was $711,000 during the three month period ended March 31,
2003 compared to $725,000 during the same period in 2002. At March 31, 2003, the
Company had net deferred tax assets of $5.3 million resulting from timing
differences associated primarily with the deductibility of certain expenses
reflected on the financial statements.

Asset Quality

Determining the allowance for loan losses is based on a number of factors. At
the inception of each commercial loan, management assesses the relative risk of
the loan and assigns a corresponding risk grade. To insure that credit quality
is maintained after a loan is booked, the Bank has a loan review department and
a loan review process which includes an internal senior level Loan Review
Committee which meets each month. Account officers obtain updated financial
information on all large commercial loan relationships and review each
relationship with the Loan Review Committee on an annual basis. In addition, an
outside consulting firm performs a review of the Bank's largest commercial
relationships as well as a sample of loans from the consumer, mortgage and
smaller commercial loan portfolios each year. The consulting firm also reviews
underwriting, documentation and risk grading analysis to determine if the Bank's
risk assessments are accurate and that its loan review process is appropriate.

The Bank calculates the amount of allowance needed to cover the probable losses
in the portfolio by applying a reserve percentage to each risk grade. Consumer
loans and mortgages are not risk graded but a percentage is reserved for these
loans based on historical losses. In addition to this quantitative analysis, a
qualitative assessment of the general economic trends, portfolio concentration
and the trend of delinquencies are taken into consideration. The allowance is
adjusted accordingly.

Based on this allowance calculation, management charged operations in the amount
of $600,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 to provide for
probable losses related to uncollectible loans. Loan loss reserves were 1.59%
and 1.49% of gross loans, respectively, as of March 31, 2003 and 2002. The
following table presents an analysis of changes in the allowance for loan losses
for the three month period ended March 31, 2003 and 2002:

The Bank has experienced a slight increase in nonperforming assets, which
includes nonperforming loans and foreclosed property, on an absolute basis, but
an overall decrease in nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets.
Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets decreased to .84% as of March
31, 2003 from 1.03% as of March 31, 2002. The increase in nonperforming
commercial real estate loans in the three month period ended March 31, 2003 was
due almost entirely to one large commercial loan secured by real estate that was
placed on nonaccrual status. The decrease in nonperforming commercial loans from
March 31, 2002 to March 31, 2003 is largely the result of the charge-off of
several large commercial relationships during the third quarter of 2002 that
were included in the March 31, 2002 nonperforming assets totals.

Foreclosed property decreased to $888,000 at March 31, 2003 from $947,000 at
December 31, 2002. The Company is actively marketing all of its foreclosed
property. All nonperforming assets, including nonperforming loans and foreclosed
assets, are recorded at the lower of cost or market. The following table
presents an analysis of nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2003 and 2002:

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 Company's Board of Directors. The
Company had $44.8 million in its most liquid assets, cash and cash equivalents,
as of March 31, 2003. 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 70.1% of
total assets at March 31, 2003. In addition, the Company has the ability to take
advantage of various other funding programs available from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Atlanta.

Shareholders' equity was $76.5 million or $11.55 per share at March 31, 2003.
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 March 31, 2003, the Company had a Tier 1 capital
ratio of 9.00%, a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.26% and a leverage ratio
of 7.30%. These ratios exceed the federal regulatory minimum requirements for a
"well-capitalized" bank.

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 in the banking


                                     - 14 -
<PAGE>

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.

Risk Factors

You should consider the following material risk factors carefully before
deciding to invest in Capital Bank Corporation securities. If any of the events
described below occur, our business, financial condition, or results of
operations could be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading
price of Capital Bank Corporation common stock may decline, in which case the
value of your investment may decline as well.

Our Results Are Impacted by the Economic Conditions of Our Principal Operating
Regions

Our operations are concentrated in Eastern and Piedmont North Carolina.
As a result of this geographic concentration, our results may correlate to the
economic conditions in these areas. A deterioration in economic conditions in
any of these market areas, particularly in the industries on which these
geographic areas depend, may adversely affect the quality of our loan portfolio
and the demand for our products and services, and accordingly, our results of
operations.

We Are Exposed to Risks in Connection with the Loans We Make

A significant source of risk for us arises from the possibility that losses will
be sustained because borrowers, guarantors and related parties may fail to
perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. We have underwriting and
credit monitoring procedures and credit policies, including the establishment
and review of the allowance for loan losses, that we believe are appropriate to
minimize this risk by assessing the likelihood of nonperformance, tracking loan
performance and diversifying our loan portfolio. Such policies and procedures,
however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could adversely affect our
results of operations.

We Compete With Larger Companies for Some of the Same Business

The banking and financial services business in our market areas continues to be
a competitive field and is becoming more competitive as a result of:

      o     Changes in regulations;

      o     Changes in technology and product delivery systems; and

      o     The accelerating pace of consolidation among financial services
            providers.

We may not be able to compete effectively in our markets, and our results of
operations could be adversely affected by the nature or pace of change in
competition. We compete for loans, deposits and customers with various bank and
nonbank financial services providers, many of which are larger in total assets
and capitalization, have greater access to capital markets and offer a broader
array of financial services.

Our Trading Volume Has Been Low Compared With Larger Banks

The trading volume in Capital Bank Corporation's common stock on the Nasdaq
National Market has been comparable to other similarly-sized banks.
Nevertheless, this trading is relatively low when compared with more seasoned
companies listed on the Nasdaq National Market or other consolidated reporting


                                     - 15 -
<PAGE>

systems or stock exchanges. Thus, the market in Capital Bank Corporation's
common stock may be limited in scope relative to other companies.

We Depend Heavily on Our Key Management Personnel

James A. Beck currently serves as Capital Bank Corporation's president and chief
executive officer. Capital Bank Corporation depends heavily on the services of
Mr. Beck, and a number of other key personnel. Even though Capital Bank
Corporation carries a $2 million key man life insurance policy on Mr. Beck, the
loss of his services or of other key personnel could have a material adverse
effect on Capital Bank Corporation's business, financial condition or results of
operations.

Capital Bank Corporation's success depends in part on its ability to retain key
executives and to attract and retain additional qualified management personnel
who have experience both in sophisticated banking matters and in operating a
small to mid-size bank. Competition for such personnel is strong in the banking
industry and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining the personnel
we require. We expect to effectively compete in this area by offering financial
packages that include incentive-based compensation and the opportunity to join
in the rewarding work of building a growing bank.

Technological Advances Impact Our Business

The banking industry is undergoing technological changes with frequent
introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to
improving customer services, the effective use of technology increases
efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Capital Bank
Corporation's future success will depend, in part, on our ability to address the
needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that
will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as to create additional
efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially
greater resources than we do to invest in technological improvements. We may not
be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or
successfully market such products and services to our customers.

Government Regulations May Prevent or Impair Our Ability to Pay Dividends,
Engage in Acquisitions or Operate in Other Ways

Current and future legislation and the policies established by federal and state
regulatory authorities will affect our operations. We are subject to supervision
and periodic examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the
North Carolina State Banking Commission. Banking regulations, designed primarily
for the protection of depositors, may limit our growth and the return to you,
our investors, by restricting certain of our activities, such as:

      o     The payment of dividends to our shareholders;

      o     Possible mergers with or acquisitions of or by other institutions;

      o     Our desired investments;

      o     Loans and interest rates on loans;

      o     Interest rates paid on our deposits;

      o     The possible expansion of our branch offices; and/or

      o     Our ability to provide securities or trust services.

We also are subject to capitalization guidelines set forth in federal
legislation, and could be subject to enforcement actions to the extent that we
are found by regulatory examiners to be undercapitalized. We cannot predict what
changes, if any, will be made to existing federal and state legislation and


                                     - 16 -
<PAGE>

regulations or the effect that such changes may have on our future business and
earnings prospects. The cost of compliance with regulatory requirements may
adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

There Are Potential Risks Associated With Future Acquisitions

We intend to continue to explore expanding a branch system through selective
acquisitions of existing banks or bank branches in the Research Triangle area
and other North Carolina markets. We cannot say with any certainty that we will
be able to consummate, or if consummated, successfully integrate, future
acquisitions, or that we will not incur disruptions or unexpected expenses in
integrating such acquisitions. In the ordinary course of business, we evaluate
potential acquisitions that would bolster our ability to cater to the small
business, individual and residential lending markets in North Carolina. In
attempting to make such acquisitions, we anticipate competing with other
financial institutions, many of which have greater financial and operational
resources. In addition, since the consideration for an acquired bank or branch
may involve cash, notes or the issuance of shares of common stock, existing
shareholders could experience dilution in the value of their shares of Capital
Bank Corporation common stock in connection with such acquisitions. Any given
acquisition, if and when consummated, may adversely affect our results of
operations or overall financial condition.

Item 3      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company has not experienced any material change in the risk of its portfolio
of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities from December 31,
2002 to March 31, 2003.

Item 4      Controls and Procedures

(a)   Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Based on the Company's most recent evaluation, which was completed within 90
days of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) provide reasonable
assurances that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the
reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time period required by the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

(b)   Changes in internal controls.

There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the
most recent evaluation of the Company's internal controls, including any
corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses.
