PARTLO JOINS NORTH STATE BANCORP
BOARD OF DIRECTORS

September 30, 2003

Raleigh, N.C . . . Barry W. Partlo has joined the board of directors of North State Bancorp, announced Larry D. Barbour, president and CEO for North State. He has served on North State’s Garner Advisory Board since the bank opened.

Partlo is president and owner of Agri-Supply in Garner, a business his father started in 1962. He holds a bachelor’s degree in engineering from North Carolina State University, and a master’s in business administration from the University of North Carolina.

“We are pleased that Mr. Partlo has agreed to serve our bank in this capacity,” said Barbour. “He already has been an asset to the Garner Advisory Board and to the bank as a whole. We will continue to benefit from his dedication and expertise.”
North State Bancorp is the holding company for North State Bank, a community bank, serving Wake County with three offices, including full-service offices on Falls of Neuse in Raleigh and on Highway 70 West in Garner, and a newly-opened loan production office in the Wakefield Corporate Center. Current plans call for a corporate headquarters and full-service location at the new North Hills Mall on Six Forks Road in Raleigh, and a full-service location on Blue Ridge Road across from Rex Hospital in Raleigh. As of June 30, 2003, North State Bancorp reported total assets of $248 million.
