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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When used in this Form 10-QSB, the words or phrases "will
likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is
anticipated," "estimate," "project" or 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 Company's market
area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations
in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company'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 circumstances after the date of such statements or to
reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

YEAR 2000 COMPUTER READINESS DISCLOSURE

The following information constitutes "Year 2000 readiness
Disclosure" under the Year 2000 Information and Readiness
Disclosure Act.

A great deal of information has been disseminated about the
global computer crash that may occur in the year 2000. Many
computer programs that can only distinguish the final two digits
of the year entered (a common programming practice in earlier
years) are expected to read entries for the year 2000 as the
year 1900 and compute payment, interest or delinquency based on
the wrong date or are expected to be unable to compute payment,
interest or delinquency. Rapid and accurate data processing is
essential to the operations of the Company. Data processing is
also essential to most other financial institutions and many
other companies.

All of the material data processing of the Company that could
be affected by this problem is provided by a third party service
bureau. Management closely monitors the progress of the service
bureau in resolving this potential problem and reports the
status of the service bureau's progress to the Company's Audit
Committee on a quarterly basis. This service bureau has advised
the Company that testing of internal mission-critical systems
was substantially complete as of December 31, 1998 and it is
currently developing and testing contingency plans. However, if
the service bureau is unable to resolve this potential problem
in time, the Company would seek to retain a replacement service
bureau and would likely experience significant data processing
delays, mistakes or failures. These delays, mistakes or failures
could have a significant adverse impact on the financial
condition and results of

                              8

operation of the Company.  Our contingency plan addresses
alternative methods to provide basic services to our customers.
The Company estimates costs related to the year 2000 are less
than $25,000.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND JUNE
30, 1999

The Company's assets decreased by $1.2 million, or 1.35% to
$94.0 million at September 30, 1999 from $95.3 million at June
30, 1999. The decrease in the Company's assets during the three
months ended September 30, 1999 was primarily due to the Company
utilizing low yielding cash to fund $2.9 million in net loan
growth, $733,000 in deposits outflows and $875,000 in
disbursements from loan escrow accounts. The Company's net loans
receivable increased by $2.9 million or 3.8% to $80.7 million at
September 30, 1999 from $77.8 million at June 30, 1999. The
increase in net loans receivable was comprised of $1.7 million
in commercial equipment leases, $1.0 million in commercial real
estate loans, $0.8 million in commercial loans, $0.3 million in
consumer loans and decreases of $0.6 million in residential real
estate loans and $0.3 million in construction loans.

Deposits decreased by $733,000 or by 1.0% to $68.9 million
at September 30, 1999 from $69.7 million at June 30, 1999. The
decrease in deposits was largely attributable to the decrease of
$1.1 million in interest-bearing deposits consisting of
primarily higher yielding certificate of deposit accounts.
Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $360,000 during the
three months ended September 30, 1999.

The Company's stockholders' equity increased by $41,000 to
$9.3 million at September 30, 1999 from $9.2 million at June 30,
1999. In July 1999 the Company initiated a 5% (17,221 shares)
stock repurchase program of which 4,225 shares had been
repurchased as of September 30, 1999 at a cost of $108,251.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER
30, 1999 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

Net Income
- ----------

The Company's net income increased by $40,000 or 25.2% to
$197,600 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $157,900
for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The increase in the
Company's net income during the three-month period was primarily
due to a $94,000 increase in net interest income partially
offset by a $20,000 higher provision for loan loss expense.
Noninterest income and noninterest expense increased by $8,000
and $9,000, respectively in the quarter ended September 30, 1999
over the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

Interest Income
- ---------------

Total interest income increased by $102,000 or 5.7% to $1.89
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $1.79
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The increases
in interest income resulted primarily from the growth in the
Company's loan portfolio that was funded from cash from lower
yielding investments in overnight federal funds. The Company's
average yield on interest-earning assets increased by 2 basis
points during the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to the 8.14% for the three-month period ended September
30, 1998.   The average balance of interest-earning assets
increased by $4.0 from September 30,1998 to September 30, 1999.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $95,000 or
5.9% to $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999
from $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.  The
increase in interest income on loans receivable during the
three-month period is due to both an increase in the average
balance of loans receivable and an increase in the average yield
on the loan portfolio. During the three months ended September
30, 1999 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 1998
the average loans receivable balance increased by $2.1 million
or 2.7% to $79.7 million from $77.5 million and the average
yield increased by 19 basis points to 8.54% from 8.35%.

Interest Expense
- ----------------

Total interest expense increased by $8,000 or 1.0% to
$856,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $848,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The increase in
interest expense during the comparable quarter was primarily due
to the increase in interest expense on borrowed money exceeding
the decrease in interest expense on deposits.

Interest expense on deposits decreased by $46,000 or 6.6% to
$654,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from

                              9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
$700,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The decrease
in interest expense on deposits s was primarily attributable to
a decrease in the average rate by 30 basis points to 3.88% from
4.19%. The Company has directed it's marketing effort towards
attracting lower interest-bearing transaction type deposits and
noninterest-bearing deposits while allowing higher priced
deposits to mature rather than pay above market rates.

Interest expense on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Atlanta increased by $54,000 or 36.50% to $202,000 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $148,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998.  The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase of  $4.2 million in the average
balance of outstanding balances.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

The Company's net interest income increased by $94,000 or
9.9% to $1.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999
from $941,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.  The
increase in net interest income during the comparable three-
month period was primarily due to the 27 basis point increase in
the net interest margin to 4.53% from 4.27%.

Average Balance Sheet
- ---------------------

The following table sets forth certain information relating to
the Company's average interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities and reflects the average yield on
assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods and at
the date indicated.  Dividing income or expense by the average
daily balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, derives
such yields and costs for the periods presented.  Average
balances are derived from daily balances.

The table also presents information for the periods indicated
with respect to the institution's net interest margin, which is
net interest income divided by the average balance of interest
earning assets.  This is an important indicator of commercial
bank profitability.  The net interest margin is affected by
yields on interest earning assets, the costs of interest bearing
liabilities and the relative amounts of interest earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities.  Another indicator of an
institution's net interest income is the interest rate spread or
the difference between the average yield on interest earning
assets and the average rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities.

Provision For Loan Losses
- -------------------------

Provision for Loan losses.  The allowance for loan losses is a
valuation reserve established by management in an amount it
deems adequate to provide for losses in the loan portfolio.
Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings in order to
maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level
considered adequate by management to provide for probable loan
losses.  Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses based on a number of factors including, among
others: lending risks associated with new products and markets,
loss allocations for specific problem credits, the level of the
allowance to nonperforming loans, historical loss experience,
economic conditions, portfolio trends and credit concentrations
and management's judgment with respect to current and expected
economic conditions and their impact on the existing loan
portfolio.

The provision for loan losses was $80,000 in quarter ended
September 30, 1999, an increase of $20,000 or 33% from the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 provision of $60,000.  The
Company has increased the allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans outstanding to 0.80% at June 30, 1999
from 0.72% at June 30, 1998 as a result of the greater inherent
risk in the loan portfolio caused by the shift in the loan
portfolio from single-family mortgage loans to commercial real
estate, commercial business, consumer and construction loans.
The Company's allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans
outstanding was 0.81% at September 30, 1999 as compared to 0.73%
at September 30, 1998.

Noninterest Income
- ------------------

The Company's noninterest income consists of deposit fees,
service charges, late fees and gains and losses on sales of
securities and loans. Total noninterest income increased by
$8,400 or 14.5% to $67,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1999 from $5,800 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The
increase in noninterest income is primarily the result of the
higher balance and number of checking accounts.  These types of
deposit accounts typically generate more fee income for the
Company than other deposit account types.

Noninterest Expenses
- --------------------

Total noninterest expenses increased by $9,500 or 1.4% to
$698,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from $689,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.  The increase in
operating expenses primarily resulted from increases in data
processing, $14,000 or 46% and equipment expenses, $12,000 or
42% in the quarter ended September 30, 1999 from the quarter
ended September 30, 1998.  These increases were somewhat offset
by decreases in other operating expenses, advertising, occupancy
costs, insurance premiums and compensation and benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

An important component of the Company's asset/liability
structure is the level of liquidity available to meet the needs
of customers and creditors. The Company's Asset/Liability
Management Committee has established general guidelines for the
maintenance of prudent levels of liquidity. The Committee
continually monitors the amount and source of available
liquidity, the time to acquire it and its cost. Management of
the Company seeks to maintain a relatively high level of
liquidity in order to retain flexibility in terms of investment
opportunities and deposit pricing. Because liquid assets
generally provide lower rates of return, the Company's
relatively high liquidity will, to a certain extent,
result in lower rates of return on assets.

The Company's most liquid assets are cash on hand,
interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold, which are
short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities
of less than three months that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash. The levels of these assets are dependent on the
Company's operating, financing and investing activities during
any given period. At September 30, 1999, the Company's cash on
hand, interest-bearing deposits and Federal funds sold totaled
$5.2 million. In addition, the Company has approximately $5.0
million of investment securities classified as
available-for-sale.

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds
available to meet its current loan commitments of $2.6 million.
Certificates of deposits that are scheduled to mature in less
than one year at September 30, 1999 totaled $32.1 million.
Historically, a high percentage of maturing deposits have
remained with the Company.

The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits and
proceeds from maturing investment securities and

                                     12

<PAGE>
mortgage-backed securities and principal and interest payments
on loans. While maturities and scheduled amortization of
mortgage-backed securities and loans are predictable sources of
funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions,
competition and other factors.

The Company's primary uses of cash in investing activities
during the three months ended September 30, 1999 were loan
principal disbursements and purchases, net of repayments, of
$3.1 million. The Company's primary sources of cash provided
from investing activities during the three months ended
September 30, 1999 was the $68,000 principal payment on the
mortgage-backed security.

The Company's primary use of cash in financing activities
during the three months ended September 30, 1999 consisted of
$733,000 decrease in deposits and the repurchase of stock and
payment of cash dividends of $148,000.

As discussed in Note 5 - Regulatory Capital Requirements, the
Company and the Bank exceeded all regulatory minimum capital
requirements.

hedging instrument which the recognition of the changes in the
fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are
attributable to the hedged risk or the earnings effect of the
hedged forecasted transaction.  The Statement, which is

to be expensed as incurred.  The "SOP" also requires that
initial application to be reported as a cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principals.  This "SOP" which is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998 will not
affect the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
