Message from the Chairman

It is a privilege to serve as Chairman of M&F Bancorp, Inc. I am deeply humbled to follow in the footsteps of such legendary trailblazers as C. C. Spaulding, John H. Wheeler, and W. J. Kennedy, Jr. As a youngster growing up in Durham these individuals were among the heroes who inspired my entrepreneurial curiosity. Their leadership, character, and keen business acumen anchored the cornerstone on which M&F Bancorp continues to build today. It follows that I am obligated to uphold the traditions and standards of excellence that they and others have set forth for this noble community institution. This can only be achieved through the combined efforts of our dedicated Board of Directors, officers, and staff working along with the communities that we serve.

M&F Bancorp, Inc. is transitioning into much more than a one-subsidiary holding company. While financial services will remain our core focus for many years we have tremendous potential to expand both our product–line and client base. Our holding company structure offers a platform through which many other services and products can be offered, leveraging the investments we have made in the “brand” of our subsidiary, Mechanics and Farmers Bank. As a Board, we realize that the transition to a more diversified financial institution will come with some short-term sacrifices. But we also expect that these investments will lay the groundwork for even better results in the years to come. Increasing long-term shareholder value through future growth is our ultimate goal.

In closing, I would like to thank our talented family of employees for their tireless efforts and of course our shareholders for their loyal support. On behalf of the Board and myself, I would like to extend our appreciation to Lee Johnson, who has announced his intention to retire. We owe him our thanks for his many years of outstanding service to this institution. Additionally, I would like to express our gratitude to Ben Ruffin, who served as a Director of this institution for 26 years, most recently as Chairman of the Board. The year 2005 is likely to be challenging as we deal with increasing regulatory demands and a slowly recovering economy, however I believe that, with your help, M&F Bancorp will successfully meet the objectives and goals that we have set forth.

Sincerely,

/s/ Maceo K. Sloan

Maceo K. Sloan,

Chairman of the Board

Message from the President

Two thousand and four was another successful year for your Company. Although earnings declined, our balance sheet continued to expand. We continued to invest heavily in our communities and, in fact, Mechanics and Farmers Bank, your Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, received a generous grant in recognition of all that we have done to support underserved markets. We also implemented several initiatives to enhance our long-term profitability and to better identify new market opportunities. Finally, we continued to build upon our franchise, as evidenced by the opening of a new M&F Bank office in Charlotte. In sum, we continued to move forward on many fronts in 2004.

Financial Results

Net income decreased 11% in 2004 to $1.1 million, or $0.68 per share, from $1.3 million or $0.76 per share, in 2003. The decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to higher noninterest expense and an increase in the Company’s effective income tax rate. Partially offsetting these two factors were positive comparisons in net interest income, noninterest income and the provision for loan losses.

Net interest income increased 9% to $9.4 million in 2004 from $8.6 million in 2003, while noninterest income, including a grant of $0.439 million that is discussed more fully below, increased 15% to $2.8 million from $2.4 million for the same respective periods. Noninterest expense, reflecting higher audit, pension and occupancy costs, increased 14% to $10.0 million in 2004 from $8.8 million in 2003. Earnings also benefited from a slightly lower provision for loan losses, which was $0.465 million in 2004 versus $0.500 million in 2003. The effective income tax rate in 2004 was 35% in 2004 versus 27% in 2003. Pretax income in 2004 was essentially unchanged from 2003.

Balance sheet growth reflected the strong loan demand and competitive deposit environment that has characterized our markets. Gross loans grew 12% to $169.3 million at year-end 2004 from $150.8 million at the end of 2003, while deposits increased 2% to $189.1 million from $185.9 million over the same time frame. Total assets grew 5% to $230.5 million at December 31, 2004, up from $220.2 million at December 31, 2003, and stockholders’ equity increased to $20.3 million, or 8.8% of assets.

Moving Forward at Mechanics and Farmers Bank

As was mentioned previously, one of the more gratifying aspects of the year was the receipt of a grant of $439,249 from the Community Development Financial Institution (“CDFI”) Fund through its Bank Enterprise Award Program (“BEA”). This fund, which is a part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, supports community-minded financial institutions throughout the country by providing financial incentives to expand services within economically distressed communities. A number of factors were considered in awarding the grant to M&F Bank, including such factors as our long-standing support (through both lending and depository activities) to community development corporations and other organizations that have similar objectives.

While the BEA grant was certainly a high profile acknowledgement of our investment in the community, the fruits of many of these investments are much less visible, yet no less important. For example, for several years, we have conducted Financial Literacy programs that are designed to teach people of all ages to be more financially responsible. Society often does an inadequate job teaching financial responsibility, especially to young people. This shortcoming, though, has created an excellent opportunity for M&F Bank to play an important role in their lives. We have invested in the belief that when people acquire increasing financial responsibilities, that they not only remember the lessons we helped to teach them but also will remember that it was M&F Bank that invested in their financial education. This will be the return on our investment, but for us, it is not just about the money. It is simply the right thing to do.

5

Another significant event of 2004 was the opening of our third branch location in Charlotte, which represented M&F Bank’s ninth office. The Renaissance Center branch is located at 3225 W. Sugar Creek Road and we already have attracted many new customer relationships to the Bank through that location. This branch represents the first new office we have opened in the past 20 years, and reflects a renewed commitment to expand into new markets.

While we remain committed to entering new markets, we also adopted initiatives to make our existing operations more profitable. For example, we implemented a pricing model that should better enable us to manage our margins and objectively establish pricing strategies for both loans and deposits. We also implemented a market analysis system that should allow us to identify opportunities in the market more quickly. Finally, through an affiliation with a third-party organization, Community Trust of the Southeast, we have developed the capability to offer a broad range of new services, including asset management, employee benefit and trust services. All of these initiatives will ultimately enhance service, provide additional fee income, and enhance long-term earnings growth.

Outlook for Your Company

Two thousand and five is likely to be a challenging year. The bulk of expenses related to complying with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which was passed by the U.S. Congress to protect investors from the possibility of fraudulent accounting activities by corporations, will be incurred in 2005 and years beyond. Complying with this Act will not only result in significant cost increases, but also will require heavy investments of time and effort by staff and directors. Additionally, 2005’s results will likely not include another grant like the one we received in 2004. Nevertheless, we remain quite upbeat about our long-term prospects, as our new Chairman, Maceo K. Sloan, indicated in his letter.

As a final note, I want to express my sincere appreciation to each of you for the help and support that you have been to me over the past several years. As most of you are probably aware, I will be retiring in the near future. It has been a pleasure to have been a part of the M&F Bancorp family, and I am grateful that I had an opportunity to play a role in its success. I wish all of you well, and ask that you continue to support M&F Bancorp, our Company, in any way that you can.

Sincerely,

/s/ Lee Johnson, Jr.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Based in Durham, North Carolina, M&F Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is the holding company for Mechanics and Farmers Bank (the “Bank”), a state chartered commercial bank that was organized in 1907 and began operations in 1908. The holding company was established in 1999 through a tax-free exchange of M&F Bancorp, Inc. common stock for existing shares of Mechanics and Farmers Bank common stock. The Bank provides a broad range of financial products and services through nine offices located in the North Carolina markets below:

Market	Number of Branches

Charlotte	3
Winston-Salem	1

SUMMARY

The following discussion, analysis of earnings and related financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements. It is intended to assist you in understanding the financial condition as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of operations for the years ended 2004, 2003 and 2002 for the Company and its subsidiary.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in the Annual Report, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or other similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the Bank’s market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans and deposits in the Bank’s market area, and competition that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements.

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or occurrences after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Asset liability management activities are designed to ensure long-term profitability, minimize risk, and maintain adequate liquidity and capital levels. It is the responsibility of the Bank’s Asset Liability Committee to set policy guidelines and to establish long-term strategies with respect to interest rate exposure and liquidity. That committee, which is comprised of the Bank’s executive management and three outside directors, meets regularly to review the Bank’s interest rate and liquidity risk exposures in relation to present and anticipated market and business conditions. The committee also establishes funding and balance sheet management strategies that are intended to ensure that the potential impact on earnings and liquidity are within acceptable levels.

Asset liability management is achieved through comprehensive planning processes, month-to-month analysis, yearly budgeting and long-range planning. Specific consideration is given to many variables, including but not limited to, interest rates, balance sheet volumes and maturities of both the earning assets and all deposit categories and borrowings.

The interest rate sensitivity schedule is reflected in Table 1. Rate Sensitivity Analysis. This table reflects the Bank’s interest sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2004 and describes, at various cumulative intervals, the gap ratios (ratios of rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities) for assets and liabilities that management considers rate sensitive. When interest sensitive liabilities exceed interest sensitive assets, a negative interest sensitive gap results. This gap shows the additional amount of liabilities being repriced during a period over interest sensitive assets during the period. The gap is positive when the reverse situation occurs. As of December 31, 2004, the one-year cumulative interest sensitivity gap was negative $78,397 versus negative $69,648 at December 31, 2003; the ratio of the cumulative interest sensitivity gap as a percent of total earning assets was a negative 25.19 percent as of December 31, 2004, compared with a negative 35.29 percent as of December 31, 2003. This incremental change was due to a slowing in the growth in interest sensitive liabilities, such as deposits, as compared to the growth in interest sensitive assets with maturities within the twelve month period.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity reflects the Bank’s ability to meet its funding needs, which includes the extension of credit, meeting deposit withdrawals, and generally to sustain operations. In addition to its level of liquid assets, many other factors affect a bank’s ability to meet liquidity needs, including access to additional funding sources, total capital position and general market conditions.

Because a large portion of bank deposits are payable upon demand, banks must protect themselves against liquidity risk through the maintenance of adequate funds which are liquid, or can readily be converted into liquid assets. The Bank provides for liquidity by three methods: core deposits, borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank. Total deposits and core deposits were approximately $189,059,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These figures compare with $185,898,000 as of December 31, 2003. The Bank had advances outstanding of $16,802,000 and $11,829,000 at the Federal Home Loan Bank as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Bank has the availability of an additional $10,300,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Bank also has a line of credit of $3,683,727 established at the Federal Reserve Bank available to meet liquidity needs.

8

The Bank has recently sold residential mortgage loans as a tool to enhance the Bank’s liquidity position. In 2004, the Bank sold approximately $3,300,000 in residential mortgage loans as compared to approximately $8,300,000 in 2003. At December 31, 2004 the Bank had approximately $41,063,000 in outstanding unfunded loan commitments. Based on its historical experience, the Bank expects to fund approximately $25,237,000 of these outstanding loan commitments in the next twelve months.

On December 31, 2004, the Bank’s liquidity ratio was 18.73 percent, which is less than the Bank’s target of 20.00 percent. Management believes the core deposit activity, available borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve, will be adequate to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity needs of the Bank.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain accounting policies require us to make significant estimates and assumptions which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, and we consider these to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and our results of operations for the reporting periods.

We believe the following are critical accounting policies that require management’s judgment in making significant estimates and assumptions that are particularly susceptible to significant change.

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

The allowance for possible loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, any adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of underlying associated collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the

9

borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or a combination of the above methods.

Large groups of homogeneous smaller balance loans are collectively evaluated for impairment.

For a more detailed discussion on the allowance for possible loan losses, see “Table 7. Non-accrual, Past Due, and restructured loans” “Table 8. Loan Loss and Recovery Experience,” “Table 9. Allocation of the Allowance for Loan Losses” and “Allowance for Possible Loan Losses” in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 (“Significant Accounting Policies”).

Pension Plans

The Company maintains a qualified defined benefit cash balance pension plan (the “Qualified Plan”), which covers substantially all full time employees and an unfunded excess plan to provide benefits to a select group of highly compensated employees to provide benefits that would otherwise be provided under the Qualified Plan but for maximum benefit and compensation limits applicable under the tax law.

Our pension costs for both plans approximated $338,000 and $373,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The pension cost is calculated based on a number of actuarial assumptions, including an expected long-term rate of return on Qualified Plan assets of 8.00%. In developing our expected long-term rate of return assumption, we evaluated input from our actuaries and investment advisors, including the expected return of the asset class, in which all assets are invested, a balanced mutual fund. The 10-year compounded annual net rate of return for this fund is 11.82%.

We base our determination of pension expense (or income) on the fair market value of assets at each measurement date. Gains or losses resulting from investment performance that deviate from the expected return are included in the total amount of accumulated experience gains or losses. Under the method prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles, the pension cost for any year includes the amortization of the excess of any previously unrecognized gains or losses over 10.00% of the fair value of plan assets, or 10% of the plan’s projected benefit obligation, if greater, over the average expected future working lifetime of the covered employees.

The discount rate that we utilize for determining the value of future obligations is based on a review of the yields of high quality fixed income securities, as measured by the yield on highest rated long-term bonds given by a recognized rating agency. The discount rate determined on this basis has decreased from 6.0 percent at December 31, 2003 to 5.75 percent as of December 31, 2004. Due to the effect of 2004 investment performance of plan assets and the reduction in the discount rate, we estimate that total pension costs for all plans will be approximately $355,900 in fiscal 2005. Actual pension cost for subsequent fiscal periods will depend on future investment performance of plan assets, changes in the future discount rates and various other factors related to the characteristics of current and former employees participating in our pension plans.

A 100 basis point reduction in our expected long-term rate of return would have increased our total 2004 pension cost by approximately $34,000 (10.06 percent). A 100 basis point reduction in the assumed discount rate at December 31, 2003 would have increased our total 2004 pension cost by approximately $25,000 (6.60 percent).

10

During 2004, the Bank contributed $108,000 to the Qualified Plan trust and the value of the Qualified Plan trust assets increased to $3,669,000 as of December 31, 2004 from $3,372,000 as of December 31, 2003. The effect of this investment performance, offset somewhat by the reduction in the interest discount rate, increased the value of unfunded Qualified Plan projected benefit obligations from $411,000 at December 31, 2003 to $483,000 at December 31, 2004. Because of the increase in the unfunded accumulated benefit obligation we were required under applicable accounting standards to make a balance sheet adjustment to add $114 thousand to Other Comprehensive Income at December 31, 2004.

The Company also maintains a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. During 2004, the Bank contributed $31,000 to this plan. The unfunded accumulated benefit obligation for this plan increased to $2,300,000 in 2004 from $1,800,000 in 2003.

Executive Overview

In the opinion of management, the Company achieved some significant financial goals during 2004, most notably:

• Total assets growth in excess of 4.00%

• Gross loan growth of 12.00% net of a $3,300,000 loan sale

• Increase in market value of common stock shares in excess of 26.00%

The Company generated the majority of its earnings from traditional banking services such as lending and deposit services. During 2004 the Company received a BEA Grant Award of $439,249 for its services in economically distressed communities. The grant will enable the company to continue its services and financial literacy efforts in these markets. With increased competition narrowing the interest margin, the Company will look for additional opportunities to enhance fee revenue.

As management looks forward there are several key challenges that the company will face, namely:

• Improving operating efficiency

• Intense competition

• Increased costs to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

• Economic environment of local markets.

The Company will continue its emphasis on quality personal services and enhanced technology to meet these challenges. The Company has developed both long-term and short-term strategic objectives to obtain profitable growth. Management will continually monitor and modify these objectives as the industry changes.

2004 Compared with 2003

Interest and fees on loans increased $642,802 or 5.87 percent during 2004 which was the result of a 12.22 percent increase in loans outstanding offset by lower interest rates. The yield on the loan portfolio was 7.12 percent for 2004 compared to 7.64 percent for 2003. Interest and dividends on investments were $894,703, a 2.05 percent decrease from the $913,460 earned in 2003. The decrease was primarily the result of lower interest rates, a yield of 3.26 percent compared to 3.46 percent for the prior year. Interest on interest-bearing accounts increased to $152,579 in 2004 from $146,742, which represents a 3.98 percent increase from 2003. The increase was the result of higher interest rates. Interest expense on deposits decreased $170,394 to $2,580,195 in 2004, or 6.19 percent from $2,750,589 in 2003 due to the lower interest rates.

11

The cost of deposits for 2004 was 1.36 percent compared to 1.48 percent for 2003. Interest on borrowed funds increased to $618,041 from $611,782, a 1.02 percent increase.

During periods of rising interest rates, the Bank’s rate sensitive assets cannot be repriced as quickly as its rate sensitive liabilities. Thus, the Bank’s net interest income will generally decrease. In periods of declining interest rates the opposite effect occurs.

Provisions for possible loan losses decreased $34,924 from the prior year’s amount of $499,608 to $464,684, a decrease of 6.99 percent. The decrease is the result of management’s evaluation of the classified loans. In addition to evaluating the status of specific loans management considered others factors such as the national and local economy.

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $119,386 from 2003 to 2004, decreasing 8.38 percent. Other noninterest income increased $471,325 or 47.93 percent to $1,454,696 from $983,371 for the prior year. The significant increase resulted from the recognition of a BEA grant of approximately $439,000 in 2004.

Salary and employee benefits increased 9.38 percent to $5,824,171 from $5,324,930 for the prior year. The increase was the result of merit increases and the increased cost of insurance products and personnel costs related to the opening of a new branch in Charlotte. The Company had 96 employees at December 31, 2004 compared to 97 employees at December 31, 2003. The decreased number of employees was primarily the result of unfilled vacancies in 2004. Occupancy expense increased $64,756 or 8.15 percent from the level in 2003. Equipment expenses increased $70,221 or 15.24 percent from the prior year largely due to the opening of a new branch in Charlotte. Data processing increased by $2,161 or 0.56 percent from the prior year. Miscellaneous other expenses increased $566,460 from $1,487,651 in 2003 to $2,054,111 in 2004. This category is comprised of many other operating expense accounts some of which had substantial increases such as audit expense and consulting expense on a year to year basis, the net of which represents a net increase in the other expense category.

2003 Compared With 2002

Interest and fees on loans increased $565,133 or 5.44 percent during 2003 which was the result of a 7.19 percent increase in loans outstanding offset by a reduction in interest rates. The yield on the loan portfolio was 7.64 percent for 2003 compared to 8.14 percent for 2002. Interest and dividends on investments were 913,460, a 27.48 percent decrease from the $1,259,661 earned in 2002. The decrease was primarily the result of lower interest rates, a yield of 3.46 percent compared to 4.13 percent for the prior year. Interest on interest-bearing accounts increased to $146,742 in 2003 from $116,293 which represents a 26.18 percent increase from 2002. The increase was the result of increased balances offset by lower interest rates. Interest expense on deposits decreased $178,948 to $2,750,589 in 2003, or 6.11 percent from $2,929,537 in 2002 due to a lower cost of funds. The cost of funds for 2003 was 1.48 percent compared to 1.96 percent for 2002. Interest on borrowed funds decreased to $611,782 from $617,648, a .95 percent decrease. The modest decrease was the result of lower outstanding balances. During periods of rising interest rates, the Bank’s rate sensitive assets cannot be repriced as quickly as its rate sensitive liabilities. Thus, the Bank’s net interest income will generally decrease. In periods of declining interest rates the opposite effect occurs (See Table 1).

Provisions for possible loan losses decreased $238,248 from the prior year’s amount of $737,856 to $499,608, a decrease of 32.29 percent. The decrease is the result of management’s evaluation of the classified loans. In addition to evaluating the status of specific loans management considered other factors such as the national and local economy.

Service charges on deposit accounts remained relatively flat over 2002 decreasing only .55 percent. Other noninterest income increased $247,324 or 33.60 percent to $983,371 from $736,047 for the prior year. The significant increase resulted from an increased cash value of bank owned life insurance policies offset by small changes in other miscellaneous income accounts.

Salary and employee benefits increased 9.94 percent to $5,324,930 from $4,843,331 for the prior year. The increase was the result of merit increases, the increased cost of insurance products, and the increase in the number of employees to 97 at December 31, 2003 compared to the 93 employees at December 31, 2002. The increased number of employees was primarily the result of filling vacancies in 2003 which remained open for the majority of 2002. Occupancy expense increased $53,271 or 7.18 percent from the level in 2002. Equipment expensed decreased $74,409 or 13.90 percent from the prior year largely due to a lower depreciation partially offset by increased repair costs. Data processing decreased by $6,703 or 1.71 percent from the prior year. Miscellaneous other expenses increased $214,193 from $1,278,461 in 2002 to $1,492,654 in 2003. This category is comprised of many other operating expense accounts that had minor increases/decreases, the net of which represents a net increase in the other expense category.

The following table reflects the average yields on assets and average costs of liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. The average yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented.

The rate/volume variance for each category has been allocated on a consistent basis between rate and volume variances based on the percentage of the rate or volume variance to the sum of the two absolute variances. Income on non-accrual loans is included in the volume and rate variance analysis table only to the extent that it represents interest payments received.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The investment portfolio is managed to provide a balance between liquidity and attractive yields. An increasing amount of emphasis is being placed on managing the interest rate risk of the Bank. Therefore, future investment activity will be influenced by the asset liability mix and maturity requirements of the Bank. The investment portfolio is categorized as “available for sale” and “held to maturity.” The “available for sale” portion of the portfolio can be used to meet the liquidity needs of the Bank, while the “held to maturity” portion is intended primarily for investment purposes. On December 31, 2004, $26,690,847 or 98.58 percent of the Bank’s investment portfolio was classified as available for sale.

17

Bank policy prohibits trading within the portion of the bond portfolio classified as “securities to be held to maturity.” Additionally, more of the bonds in the “available for sale” portfolio have maturities of five years or greater and, therefore these securities are subject to greater market volatility than similar securities with maturities of two years or less. Tables 4 and 4.1 show maturities of investment securities held by the Bank at December 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively, along with weighted average yields.

LOAN PORTFOLIO

Total loans outstanding on December 31, 2004 were $169,294,002, an increase of 12.22 percent from the $150,865,193 in loans at December 31, 2003. Competition for loan originations remained strong in our markets in 2004, with many institutions targeting the Bank’s traditional markets because of their desire to improve their community reinvestment ratings. The Bank’s increase in total loans outstanding was primarily due to continued marketing to small businesses, churches and loan participations with other banks.

The Bank maintains a diversified mix of loans. Commercial loans are spread throughout a variety of industries, with loans to churches accounting for approximately 51.71 percent of the commercial loan portfolio and no other particular industry group or related industries accounting for a significant portion of the commercial loan portfolio. Loans to churches make up 33% of the Bank’s total loans outstanding at December 31, 2004. Real estate loans include mortgages for construction, land development, permanent financing and other purposes.

As of December 31, 2004, approximately $108,310,000, or 63.98 percent of the loan portfolio, was comprised of commercial, financial and agricultural loans, an increase from 62.96 percent in the same category at the end of 2003. Real estate mortgages decreased to 22.30 percent in 2004 compared to 26.86 percent in 2003. The other categories of loans, real estate construction and installment loans to individuals, represented 8.82 percent and 4.90 percent, respectively, of the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2004, compared to 4.92 percent and 5.26 percent, respectively, as of December 31, 2003. The Bank has no foreign loans. Loans made to directors, officers and other related parties to the Bank totaled $4,086,000 at December 31, 2004. New loans to such parties totaled $573,000 exclusive of advances on existing lines of credit while payments totaled $830,000 during 2004 exclusive of payments on existing lines of credit.

At December 31, 2004, the Bank had outstanding unfunded loan commitments of approximately $41,063,000, compared to $29,975,000 at the end of 2003. This increase in outstanding loan commitments coincides with the loan activity on a year to year basis. Based on its historical experience, the Bank anticipates approximately $25,237,000 of these loan commitments will fund in 2005. The following Table 5 describes the Bank’s loan portfolio composition. At December 31, 2004, total fixed rate loans were $124,106,000 and total floating rate loans were $45,188,000.

NON-ACCRUAL, PAST DUE AND RESTRUCTURED LOANS

A loan is placed on non-accrual status when, in management’s judgment, the collection of interest income becomes doubtful. Interest receivable that has been accrued in prior years and is subsequently determined to have doubtful collectibility is charged to the appropriate interest income account. Interest on loans that are classified as non-accrual is recognized when received. Past due loans are loans whose principal or interest is past due 90 days or more. In some cases, where borrowers are experiencing financial difficulties, loans may be restructured to provide terms significantly different from the original terms.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, non-accrual, past due, and restructured loans were approximately 2.18 percent and 1.48 percent, respectively, of the total loans outstanding on such dates. Non-accrual and restructured loans increased significantly in 2004. Management continues to work towards reducing the level of delinquencies through enhanced collection efforts and adherence to sound loan underwriting procedures. Management regularly reviews the loan portfolio, including these loans, for collectability and, as explained below, provides an allowance for loan losses. However, due to the uncertainties regarding trends in consumer credit and credit worthiness, it is possible that the future impact of charge-offs in any of our loan categories may exceed such allowance.

Charge-offs totaled $347,000 in 2004, or $229,000 net of recoveries and $279,000 or $246,000 net of recoveries in 2003. The amount of interest from non-accrual loans that would have been earned for 2004, 2003, and 2002, was $104,000, $38,000, and $40,000, respectively. These amounts are not included in income. Interest paid and included in income on non-accrual loans was $34,000, $42,000, and $21,000 for 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Payments received on non-accrual loans are applied first to past due principal amounts before recording any interest income.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Management considers the allowance for probable loan losses adequate to cover loan losses on the loans outstanding as of each reporting period. It must be emphasized, however, that the determination of the allowance using the Bank’s procedures and methods rests upon various assumptions such as delinquency ratios, adversely classified loans, five year average charge-off history, loan growth, the current ratio of outstanding loans to the allowance for loan losses and future factors affecting loans. No assurance can be given that the Bank will not, in any particular period, sustain loan losses that are sizable in relation to the amount reserved or that subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of conditions and factors then prevailing, will not require significant changes in the allowance for possible loan losses or future charges to earnings.

The allowance for loan losses is created by direct charges to operations. Losses on loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses in the accounting period in which they are determined by management to be uncollectible. Recoveries during the period are credited to the allowance for loan losses.

Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical matter, at the loan’s observable market value or fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans measured by fair value of the underlying collateral are commercial loans, others consist of homogenous small balance loans and are measured collectively. The Bank classifies a loan as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired, totaled approximately $3,687,000 and $2,234,000, respectively. The average recorded balance of impaired loans was $2,395,000 and $2,250,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The related allowance for loan losses for these loans was $351,000 and $189,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Impaired loans of $3,621,000 and $2,234,000 for 2004 and 2003 were collateralized with real estate.

Management realizes that general economic trends greatly affect loan losses, and no assurances can be made that further charges to the loan loss allowance may not be significant in relation to the amount provided during a particular period or that further evaluation of the loan portfolio based on conditions then prevailing may not require sizable additions to the allowance, thus necessitating similarly sizable charges to operations. The allowance for loan losses was 1.51%, 1.54% and 1.44% of net loans

22

outstanding at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, which was consistent with both management’s desire for strong reserves and the credit quality ratings of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses was higher at December 31, 2004 as the Bank incurred direct charge-offs (net of recoveries) approximately $235 thousand less than the provision addition to the allowance for loan losses for the year. The ratio of net charge-offs during the year to average loans outstanding during the period were 0.14%, 0.17% and 0.17% at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These ratios reflect management’s conservative lending, and effective efforts to recover credit losses.

The following table summarizes the Bank’s balances of loans outstanding, average loans outstanding, changes in the allowance arising from charge-offs and recoveries by category, and additions to the allowance that have been charged to expenses for years 2000 through 2004.

DEPOSITS

Total deposits, which include core deposits, were approximately $189,059,168 at December 31, 2004 as compared to $185,897,710 at the end of 2003, an increase of $3,161,458 or 1.70 percent. The Bank considers savings accounts, demand deposits, and time deposits of less than $100,000 core deposits. The Bank continued its marketing effort to increase this stable source of funds. Increased efforts to extend the maturities of our deposit structure had minimal impact during 2004. As reflected in Table 1, Rate Sensitivity Analysis, approximately 77.10 percent of interest-bearing liabilities deposits can be repriced in one year or less. This maturity structure contributes greatly to the negative gap of assets and liabilities and contributes to an increased interest rate risk for the Bank.

The Bank is committed to offering a wide range of competitively priced deposits. Our savings account rate has remained competitive. The average amounts and rates of deposits for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 are summarized below. The Bank has no foreign deposits.

The time deposits are principally non-business certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. Deposits of state and local governments and municipal entities are collateralized by investment securities. The Bank participates in a national certificate of deposit gathering program through Quick Rate to facilitate deposit growth and liquidity needs of the institution. As of December 31, 2004, the Bank had approximately $21,082,000 in Quick Rate certificates of deposit.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND DIVIDENDS

The Bank is subject to a North Carolina State banking capital requirement of at least 5.00% of total assets. In addition, the Bank is subject to the capital requirements of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The FDIC requires the Bank to maintain a (i) Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.00%, (ii) a total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.00% and (iii) a leverage ratio of 4.00%. At December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Bank had capital to total assets ratios of 8.54% and 8.82%, respectively, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratios of 10.48% and 11.23%, respectively, total capital to risk-weighted assets ratios of 12.00% and 12.82%, respectively, and leverage ratios of 8.61% and 8.65%, respectively. Shareholders’ equity, which consists of common stock, surplus, other comprehensive income and retained earnings provides all of the Company’s capital.

As of December 31, 2004, there were 1,685,686 shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to the 100% stock dividend on November 2004, which were held by approximately 1,220 shareholders of record on March 15, 2005, not including persons or entities whose stock is held in nominee or “street” name through various brokerage firms or banks. The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “MFBP”

In November 2004, the Board of Directors approved a 100% stock dividend. Each shareholder of record at the close of business on December 20, 2004 was entitled to receive one additional share of stock for each share of stock owned on the record date. The payment date was January 10, 2005. This stock dividend increased the number of common stock shares outstanding to 1,685,646 as of December 31, 2004 from 842,823. Also, outstanding stock options increased to 110,400 from 55,200 at a grant price of $7.84.

The dividends that may be paid by the Bank to the Company, as the Bank’s sole shareholder, are subject to legal limitations. Dividends may not be paid unless the Bank’s capital surplus is at least fifty percent of its paid-in capital. In addition, the Bank may not pay dividends when it is insolvent or would become insolvent as a result of the payment or when the payment would reduce its capital below regulatory capital requirements.

Cash dividends declared per share for each period are shown in the table below. These cash dividends have been restated to retroactively reflect the 100% common stock dividend in November 2004.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

M&F Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Durham, North Carolina

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of M&F Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

M&F BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003 AND 2002

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations—M&F Bancorp (the “Company”), Inc. is the bank holding company for Mechanics and Farmers Bank (the “Bank”), a state chartered commercial bank incorporated in North Carolina in 1907 and began operations in 1908. The Bank has nine offices in North Carolina: three in Durham, two in Raleigh, three in Charlotte and one in Winston-Salem. The Company, headquartered in Durham, operates in a single business segment and offers a wide variety of consumer and commercial banking services and products in North Carolina.

Basis of Presentation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of M&F Bancorp, Inc. and Mechanics and Farmers Bank, its wholly owned Bank subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Stock Dividend – In November 2004, the Board of Directors approved a 100% stock dividend, each shareholder of record at the close of business on December 20, 2004 was entitled to receive one additional share of stock for each share of stock owned on the record date (“the stock dividend”). The payment date was January 10, 2005. The stock dividend increased the number of common shares to 1,685,646 as of December 31, 2004 from 842,823. Also, outstanding stock options increased to 110,400 from 55,200 at a grant price of $7.84. This stock dividend has been retroactively applied for purposes of calculating earnings per share for the years 2004, 2003, and 2002.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Substantially all of the cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid short-term investments that are carried at cost, which approximates market value. Cash equivalents include demand and time deposits (with original maturities of 90 days or less) at other financial institutions and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

Investment Securities—The accounting for investment securities is dependent upon their classification as held to maturity, available for sale, or trading securities. Such securities classified as held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities classified as available for sale and trading securities are carried at market value. At December 31, 2004, and 2003, the Company did not have any securities classified as trading.

Unrealized holding gains and losses for securities available for sale are reported as other comprehensive income. In order for the securities to qualify as securities held to maturity, the Bank must have both the positive intention and the ability to hold them to maturity. Management utilizes these criteria in determining the accounting treatment accorded such securities. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary are included in earnings as realized losses. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.

Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank Stock are carried at cost, which the Company believes to reflect fair value.

40

Loans—The Bank grants mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans throughout North Carolina. The ability of the Bank’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future, or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well secured and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses—The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions at each balance sheet date. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or a combination of the above methods.

41

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment.

Financial Instruments—In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments, consisting of commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit card arrangements, and commercial letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or received. (See Note 8.)

Mortgage Servicing Rights—The Bank allocates the total cost of a whole mortgage loans purchased to mortgage servicing rights and loans based on relative fair values. Amounts capitalized as mortgage servicing rights are amortized over the period of, and in proportion to, estimated future net servicing income. The Bank assesses its capitalized mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on independent appraisals of the market value of those rights. Impairments are recognized as a valuation allowance. The independent appraisals value such rights in consideration of prevailing interest rates, prepayment and default rates, and other relevant factors as appropriate. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the fair values of mortgage servicing rights were $82,324 and $62,352, respectively, and are presented as a component of other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Premises and Equipment—Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation and amortization are computed by the straight-line method and are charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 15 to 30 years for premises and 3 to 30 years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations in the year incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions are included in current operations. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows attributable to an asset is less than the stated amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in the current period and charged to operations.

Foreclosed Real Estate—Real estate acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Any initial losses at the time of foreclosure are charged against the allowance for loan losses with subsequent losses or writedowns included in the consolidated statements of income as a component of other income. There is no allowance for loss on foreclosed real estate at December 31, 2004 and 2003. In addition, no amounts were provided for losses on foreclosed real estate during 2004, 2003, or 2002.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance—The Bank maintains life insurance on officers and directors with the Company as beneficiary. The related cash surrender value of the policies at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $4,924,027 and $4,714,210, respectively. During 2004, the cash surrender value of these policies increased $249,013. Policies have been purchased to fund pension liabilities for officers of the Company. During 2003, the cash surrender value of these policies increased $249,011 to $4,714,210 from $4,465,199 in 2002. (see Note 10).

Income Taxes—Provisions for income taxes are based on amounts reported in the consolidated statements of income (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities) and include changes in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are computed using the asset and liability approach. The tax effects of differences between the tax and financial accounting basis of assets and liabilities are reflected in the balance sheet at the tax rates expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. (See Note 9.)

42

Income and Expenses—The Company uses the accrual method of accounting, except for immaterial amounts of loan income and other fees which are recorded as income when collected. The recognition of certain loan origination fee income and certain loan origination costs is deferred when such loans are originated and amortized over the life of the loan.

Earnings Per Share—Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the purpose of computing the basic and diluted earnings per share. The stock dividend increased the number of common shares outstanding to 1,685,646 as of December 31, 2004. Also, outstanding stock options increased to 110,400 from 55,200 at a grant price of $7.84. This stock dividend has been retroactively applied for purposes of calculating earnings per share for the years 2004, 2003, and 2002.

Stock-Based Compensation—The Company measures compensation costs related to employee incentive stock options using the intrinsic value of the equity instrument granted (i.e., the excess of the market price of the stock to be issued over the exercise price of the equity instrument at the date of grant) rather than the fair value of the equity instrument. No compensation costs have been recognized for stock option awards because the options are granted at exercise prices based on the market value of the Company stock on the date of grant. Had compensation cost for the Company’s employee stock option plan been determined using the fair value method, the Company’s pro forma net income and earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 would have been as follows:

Net income as reported	$	1,138,618		$	1,275,447		$	1,035,750
Deduct—Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards, net of related tax effects		(16,754	)		(18,586	)		(18,586	)
Pro forma net income	$	1,121,864		$	1,256,861		$	1,017,164
Basic earnings per share (Note 1)
As reported	$	0.68		$	0.76		$	0.61
Pro forma	$	0.67		$	0.75		$	0.60
Diluted earnings per share (Note 1)
As reported	$	0.66		$	0.76		$	0.61
Pro forma	$	0.65		$	0.75		$	0.60

At December 31, 2004, 2003, 2002, stock options outstanding under the Option Plan were 110,400 for each year respectively after giving effect to the stock dividend described above.

The Company estimated an option value at $1.09. In order to compute its estimation of compensation expense associated with the fair value method using the Black-Scholes Model, the following assumptions were used:

Risk-free rate	5.50	%
Average expected term (years)	5.00
Expected volitility	18.22	%
Expected dividend yield	4.76	%

Comprehensive Income—Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although

43

certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as separate components of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and pension liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates

New Accounting Pronouncements—In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – An Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin 51 – Consolidated Financial Statements. This interpretation provides guidance related to identifying variable interest entities and determining whether such entities should be consolidated. FIN 46 requires an enterprise to consolidate a variable interest entity when the enterprise (a) absorbs a majority of the variable interest entity’s expected losses, (b) receives the majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. Prior to the effective date of FIN 46, entities were generally consolidated by an enterprise that had control through ownership of a majority voting interest in the entity. FIN 46 originally applied immediately to variable interest entities created or obtained after January 31, 2003. During 2003, the Company did not participate in the creation of, or obtain a new variable interest in, any variable interest entity. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46R, a revision to FIN 46, which modified certain requirements of FIN 46 and allowed for the optional deferral of the effective date of FIN 46R until March 31, 2004. The Company has evaluated the effect of FIN 46R on its financial statements, and has concluded that there is no material impact on the consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial condition of the Company.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 149 clarifies the conditions which a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative; clarifies when a derivative contains a financial component; amends the definition of “an underlying” to conform it to language used in FASB interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including the Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others; and amends certain other existing pronouncements. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified by the Company after June 30, 2003. All provisions of this Statement are applied prospectively. The application of this Statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It clarifies when an issuer must classify certain financial instruments as liabilities (or assets, in some circumstances), rather than including them within stockholders’ equity or separately classifying them as mezzanine equity. This Statement was effective for the Company for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective for the Company

44

in the third quarter of 2003. The Company has not issued any financial instruments within the scope of SFAS No. 150; therefore, the application of SFAS No. 150 did not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or disclosures.

In May 2004, FASB issued FASB Staff No. 106-2, Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (FSP FAS 106-2), which supersedes FSP FAS 106-1, in response to the December 2003 enactment of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003(“the Act”). FSP FAS 106-2 provides guidance on the accounting for the effects of the Act for employees that sponsor postretirement health care plans that provide prescription drug benefits. The Company believes that its plans are eligible for the subsidy provided by the Act but has not determined the effect on its financial statements.

In September 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-1-1, which delays the recognition and measurement provisions of EITF 03-1 pending the issuance of further implementation guidance. The delay applies to both debt and equity securities and specifically applies to impairments caused by interest rate and sector spreads. In addition, the provisions of EITF 03-1 that have been delayed relate to the requirements that a company declare its intent to hold the security to recovery and designate a recovery period in order to avoid recognizing an other- than-temporary impairment charge through earnings. The FASB will be issuing implementation guidance related to this topic. Once issued, the Company will evaluate the impact of adopting EITF 03-1.

In December 2004, the FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123(R)), “Share-based Payment”, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. FASB 123(R) eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value-based method. Statement 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The Company will be required to apply SFAS 123(R) as of July 1, 2005.

Statement 123 (R) may be adopted using one of two methods: (1) A “modified prospective” method in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the requirements of Statement 123 (R) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted employees prior to the effective of Statement 123 (R) that remain unvested on the effective date. (2) A “modified prospective” method which includes the requirements of the modified prospective method described above, but also permits entities to restate based on the amounts previously recognized under Statement 123 for purposes of pro forma disclosures either (a) all prior periods presented or (b) prior interim periods of the year of adoption. The Company has not adopted Statement 123 (R) at this time and is still evaluating its impact.

2. CASH AMOUNTS DUE FROM BANKS

The Federal Reserve Bank (“Federal Reserve”) and banking laws of North Carolina require certain banks to maintain average balances in relation to specific percentages of its customers’ deposits as a reserve. At December 31, 2004, such requirement for the Bank was $1,866,000, which was satisfied by usable vault cash of $2,141,000 and a Federal Reserve balance of $807,000.

The unrealized losses are attributable to changes in interest rates on investment grade securities. The Company believes that all of the unrealized losses are temporary in nature.

For the year ended December 31, 2004 the Bank had a $1,266 gross realized gain, and for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 gross realized losses of $54 and $6,433 respectively, on sales of securities available for sale.

For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, are grouped based upon the final payment date. The mortgage-backed securities may mature earlier because of principal prepayments.

Investment securities having an aggregate par value of $16,055,730 and $28,272,933 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were pledged as collateral to secure public funds on deposit and for other purposes as required by law.

Restructured loans at December 31, 2004 and 2003 totaled approximately $52,000 and $500,000, respectively. If interest income on nonaccrual loans had been accrued, such income would have been approximately $70,000, $38,000 and $40,000 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These amounts are not included in income. Interest paid on nonaccrual loans and included in income was approximately $34,000, $42,000 and $21,000 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

In 2004 and 2003, the Bank sold residential real estate mortgage loans of $3,285,886 and $8,313,665, respectively. The Bank realized gains on the loan sales of $112,774 in 2004 and $82,296 in 2003. Realized gains on the sale of mortgage loans are included in Other Income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for 2004 and 2003. The Bank utilizes an outside investment service to evaluate, price, and pool groups of loans available for possible sale.

Qualifying first mortgage loans collateralize Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. (See Note 11.)

Loans to related parties are disclosed in Note 12.

The Bank’s retail, commercial and real estate loans in North Carolina create a significant geographic concentration.

Consumer overdraft protection loans had available lines of credit of $882,000 and $858,000 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The nature of the business of the Company ordinarily results in a certain amount of litigation. The Company is involved in various legal claims which are considered incidental to the normal course of business. Management believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from these claims will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

10. RETIREMENT AND STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

The Bank sponsors a noncontributory defined-benefit cash balance pension plan (the “Plan”), covering all employees who qualify under length of service and other requirements. Under the Plan, retirement benefits are based on years of service and average earnings.

The Bank’s funding policy is to contribute amounts to the Plan sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such additional amounts as the Bank may determine to be appropriate.

The Plan’s assets are invested in Scudder Flag Investor Mutual Funds by Intercarolina Financial Services. The objective of the Plan’s investment strategy is to receive a return consistent with market performance of other comparable plans. The M&F Bancorp, Inc., Cash Balance Plan is invested in a balanced mutual fund that has a “flexible value” investment strategy with investments primarily in common stocks and bonds. The stock/ bond target allocation for this fund under normal market conditions is approximately two thirds in stocks and one third in bonds. The expected return of 8.00% is based on a twenty year historical range of data from Frontier Analytics

The following sets forth the Plan’s funded status and amounts recognized in the balance sheets at December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Executive Retirement Plan

The Bank sponsors a nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The SERP, which is unfunded, provides certain individuals pension benefits, outside the Bank’s noncontributory defined-benefit cash balance pension plan, based on average earnings, years of service and age at retirement. The Bank has purchased bank owned life insurance (BOLI) in the aggregate amount of approximately $13,000,000 face value and $4,900,000 cash value as of December 31, 2004, covering all the participants in the SERP, with the Bank and each participant as 50% beneficiary. The Bank intends to keep this life insurance in force indefinitely. The insurance proceeds may be used, at the bank’s sole discretion, to fund the benefits payable under the SERP.

During 2004, 2003, and 2002 the cash value of Bank owned life insurance increased $209,817, $249,013 and $4,156,000 respectively. The cash value of these policies at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $4,924,027, $4,714,210 and $4,465,199 respectively.

401(k) Plan—The Bank sponsors a 401(k) plan. Participation in the 401(k) plan is voluntary and employees become eligible after completing 90 days of service and attaining age 21. Employees may elect to contribute up to 12% of their compensation to the 401(k) plan. The Bank matches 100% of employee contributions up to 6% of each employee’s compensation. The 401(k) plan investments are managed by Intercarolina Financial Services. The Bank’s contributions to the 401(k) plan were $180,196, $164,712 and $151,172 for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plan—The Bank sponsors a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The plan, which is unfunded, provides for certain management employees to defer compensation in order

55

to provide retirement and death benefits on behalf of such employees. The plan allows certain management employees to receive the balance of the 6% Bank match on the 401(k) plan that would otherwise be forfeited to comply with the Internal Revenue Code. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the amount of the liability was $502,000 and $349,000, respectively.

Stock Option Plan—The Company has a stock option plan (the “Option Plan”) under which the Company may grant options to selected officers of the Company for up to 171,000 shares of common stock. Under the plan, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, and an option’s maximum term is 10 years. Options vest over 5 years based on years of service and become 100% vested at either age 55, with 30 years of service, or at age 65 (Note 1).

Post Retirement Benefits—The Company provides certain post retirement benefits to specified executive officers. At December 31, 2004 the amount of the liability for these benefits was approximately $91,100.

56

A summary of the status of the Option Plan as of December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 and the changes during the years ending on those dates is presented below:

	2004			2003			2002
Fixed Options (Note 1)	Shares	Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Shares	Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Shares	Weighted- Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at beginning of year	110,400	$	7.84	110,400	$	7.84	118,800	$	7.84
				—			8,400
Outstanding at end of year	110,400	$	7.84	110,400	$	7.84	110,400	$	7.84
Options exercisable at end of year	110,400			95,040			79,680

No options were granted in 2004, 2003 or 2002.

At December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, options outstanding under the Option Plan had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 4.99 years, 5.99 years, and 6.99 years, respectively.

11. BORROWED FUNDS

Borrowed funds at December 31 are summarized as follows:

	2004		2003
Fixed-rate advances from the FHLB:
Advance maturing, October 8, 2008, 4.64%	$	10,000,000	$	10,000,000
Advance maturing, July 16, 2018, 7.26%		1,802,466		1,829,040
Advances maturing, December 8, 2009, 4.02%		3,000,000
Advances maturing, December 10, 2007, 3.59%		2,000,000
	$	16,802,466	$	11,829,040

The contractual maturities of borrowed funds are as follows:

2005	$	29,212
2006		32,111
2007		2,035,298
2008		10,038,801
2009		3,042,652
Thereafter		1,624,392
Total	$	16,802,466

The advance maturing July 16, 2018 requires quarterly principal repayments.

Pursuant to collateral agreements with the FHLB, advances are secured by all stock in the FHLB and qualifying first mortgage loans. The Bank also periodically borrows funds on an overnight basis via advances from the Federal Reserve and the purchase of federal funds.

57

The Bank has the availability of additional borrowings of approximately $10,300,000 from the FHLB, as of December 31, 2004. The Bank also has available on a line of credit approximately $3,700,000 established at the Federal Reserve.

12. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Bank has, and expects to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with several of its directors, officers and their associates on the same terms, including interest rate and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others in the normal course of business. Those transactions do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility nor do they present any unfavorable features. The aggregate amount of loans to such related parties at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was approximately $4,086,000 and $4,345,000, respectively. During 2004, new loans to such related parties totaled approximately $573,000 exclusive of advances on existing lines of credit and payments were approximately $830,000 exclusive of payments on existing lines of credit.

13. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities—Fair value for securities, excluding Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock, are based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.

Loans—Fair value of variable-rate mortgage loans is estimated using quoted market prices. For non-mortgage variable-rate loans, the carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers.

Deposits—The fair value of demand and passbook savings accounts is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificate accounts is estimated using the present value of the projected cash flows using rates currently offered for similar deposits with similar maturities.

Borrowed Funds—The fair value of borrowed funds due within one year is the amount payable at the reporting date. The fair value of long-term borrowed funds is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans could be obtained with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Commitments to Extend Credit—The actual committed amount for mortgage loan originations and for unused lines of credit is considered a reasonable estimate of fair value.

14. REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2004, the most recent notification received from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company’s category.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table below.

59

	Actual				For Capital Adequacy Purposes				To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
(Dollars In Thousands)	Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio		Amount		Ratio
As of December 31, 2004:
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)	$	22,543	12.00	%	$	15,032	8.00	%	$	18,790	10.00	%
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)		19,686	10.48	%		7,516	4.00	%		11,274	6.00	%
Tier 1 capital (to average assets)		19,686	8.54	%		9,226	4.00	%		11,532	5.00	%
As of December 31, 2003:
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)	$	20,647	12.82	%	$	12,889	8.00	%	$	16,111	10.00	%
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)		18,098	11.23	%		6,444	4.00	%		9,666	6.00	%
Tier 1 capital (to average assets)		18,098	8.65	%		8,374	4.00	%		10,467	5.00	%

The Bank is also subject to limits on dividend payments. The Bank may pay dividends only out of undivided profits. The Bank is prohibited from paying a dividend if i) surplus is less than 50% of its paid-in capital stock, ii) or is insolvent when payment of a dividend would render it insolvent or iii) if payment would. be contrary to its Articles of Incorporation. Additionally, there are statutory provisions regarding the ascertainment of undivided profits from which dividends may be paid; and banking regulators may restrict or prohibit the payment of dividends by banks which have been found to have inadequate capital.

Payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is subject to various restrictions. Under applicable banking regulations, the Bank may not declare a cash dividend if the effect thereof would be to reduce its net worth to an amount less than the minimum required by federal and state banking regulations.

The Bank paid cash dividends of $715,122, $549,068, and $956,197 to the Company during 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
