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 were 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

                              8

<PAGE>
results of 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 $30,000.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND JUNE
30, 1999

The Company's assets increased by $1.0 million or 1.0% to
$96.3 million at December 31, 1999 from $95.3 million at June
30, 1999. The increase in the Company's assets during the six
months ended December 31, 1999 was primarily due to the Company
utilizing cash and borrowed money to fund loan growth and
deposit outflows. The Company's net loans receivable increased
by $6.8 million or 8.8% to $84.6 million at December 31, 1999
from $77.8 million at June 30, 1999. The increase in net loans
receivable was comprised of $2.8 million in commercial equipment
leases, $2.2 million in commercial real estate loans, $1.6
million commercial business loans, $0.5 million in consumer
loans, $0.5 million in residential mortgages and a decrease of
$0.8 million in construction loans. The Company's mortgage-
backed securities portfolio decreased by $0.3 million to $4.6
million at December 31, 1999 from $4.9 million at June 30, 1999
due to amortization and prepayments.

The Company's borrowings increased by $3,000,000 or 22.0%
to $16.9 million at December 31, 1999 from $13.9 million at June
30, 1999. Deposits decreased by $1.0 million or by 1.4% to $68.7
million at December 31, 1999 from $69.7 million at June 30,
1999. The decrease in deposits was largely attributable to the
decrease of $1.2 million in interest-bearing deposits consisting
primarily of passbook savings and money market accounts.
Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $247,000 during the
six months ended December 31, 1999.

The Company's stockholders' equity decreased by $108,000
to $9.1 million at December 31, 1999 from $9.2 million at June
30, 1999.  In July 1999, the Company initiated a 5% (17,221
shares) stock repurchase program.  This was completed in
November 1999 at a total cost of $457,788.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTERS AND SIX MONTHS
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998

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

The Company's net income decreased by $19,000 or 9.8% to
$174,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $192,000
for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The Company's net
income increased by $21,000 or 5.9% to $372,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1999 from $351,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 1998. The decrease in the Company's net
income during the comparable three-month period is a result of
higher compensation, and equipment expenses offsetting higher
net interest and noninterest income.  The increase in the
Company's net income in the comparable six-month periods was
primarily due to increases in net interest and noninterest
income offsetting higher compensation, equipment and data
processing expenses

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

Total interest income before the provision for loan losses
increased by $93,000 or 5.1% to $1.90 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 1999 from $1.81 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 1998. Total interest income increased by $195,000
or 5.4% to $3.8 million for the six months ended December 31,
1999 from $3.6 million for the six months ended December 31,
1998. The increases in interest income resulted primarily from
the growth in the Company's loan portfolio that was funded with
additional borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
as well as cash from lower yielding investments in overnight
federal funds. The Company's average yield on assets increased
by 9 basis points to 8.27% from 8.18% during the three-month
period ended December 31, 1999. For the comparative six-month
period, the Company's average yield on assets remained unchanged
at 8.21%. The Company's average balance of interest-earning
assets increased by $4.9 million and $4.0 million during the
comparable three and six-month periods ended December 31, 1999.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $76,000
or 4.5% to $1.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999
from $1.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1998.
Interest income on loans receivable increased by $172,000 or
5.2% to $3.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999
from $3.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998.
The increase in interest income on loans receivable during the
three and six month periods is primarily due to an increase in
the average balance of loans receivable. During the three months
ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the same period ended
December 31, 1998 the average loans receivable balance increased
by $2.9 million or 3.6% to $83.1

                              9

<PAGE>
million from $80.2 million and the average yield increased by 7
basis points to 8.46% from 8.39%. During the six months ended
December 31, 1999 as compared to the same period ended December
31, 1998 the average balance of loans receivable increased by
$3.1 million or 3.9% to $81.4 million from $78.3 million and the
average yield increased by 3 basis points to 8.50% from 8.47%.

ended December 31, 1999 from $1.7 million at December 31, 1998.
The increases in interest expense during the comparable periods
were primarily due to increases in the average balance of
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances used to fund loan growth and
deposit outflows.  These borrowings carry higher interest rates
than core deposits.  During the quarter ended December 31, 1999
as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 1998 the average
balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased by $4.9
million to $80.8 million from $75.9 million of which $4.5
million is attributable to increases in borrowings from the

interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 11 basis points to
4.26% from 4.37% in the quarterly period. During the six months
ended December 31, 1999 as compared to the six months ended
December 31, 1998 the average balance of interest-bearing

expense on deposits decreased by $73,000 or 5.3% to $1.3 million
from $1.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998.
The decrease in interest expense on deposits during the
comparable quarters was attributable to a decrease in the
average rate by 19 basis points to 3.93% from 4.12% and a
reduction in the average balance of $480,000. The decrease in
interest expense on deposits during the comparable six-month
periods was primarily due to a $294,000 decrease in the average
balance to $65.9 million from $66.5 million and a decrease in
the average rate to 3.90% from 4.17%.

Interest expense on borrowings increased by $58,000 or 38.0% to
$209,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $151,000
for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. Interest expense on

six months ended December 31, 1999 from $299,000 during the six
months ended December 31, 1998. The increase for the comparable
quarters was primarily attributable to an increase of $4.5
million in the average balance and a decrease of 32 basis points
in the average rate. For the six-month comparable periods the
increase was attributable to a $4.1 million increase in the
average balance.  The average rate decreased 26 basis points to
5.85% from 6.11%.

provision for loan losses increased by $155,000 or 8.1% to $2.1
million for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $1.9
million during the six months ended December 31, 1998. The
increase in net interest income during the comparable quarters
and six month periods were primarily due to an increase of 28
basis points and 11 basis points in the net interest margin to
4.68% and 4.48% from 4.40% and 4.37%, respectively.

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

The following tables sets forth certain information relating to
the Company's average balance sheet and reflects the average
yield on assets and cost of liabilities for the periods
indicated and the average yields earned and rates paid. Dividing
income or expense by the average balance of assets or
liabilities, respectively, for the periods presented derives
these yield and costs. Average balances are daily balances.

The table presents information for the periods indicated
with respect to the net interest margin, which is its net
interest income divided by the average balance of
interest-earning assets.   Also presented is the difference
between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and
average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or interest
rate spread ,which is also used to measure the earnings power of
financial institutions.

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

Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to
maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level
considered adequate by management to provide for probable loan
losses, based on prior loss experience, volume and type of
collateral by the Company, industry standards and past due loans
in the Company's loan portfolio. The Company's management
periodically monitors and adjusts its allowance for loan losses
based upon its analysis of the loan portfolio. The Company
provided $60,000 for loan losses during the quarter ended
December 31, 1999 and $50,000 in the quarter ended December 31,
1998. The Company provided $140,000 and $110,000 for loan losses
during each of the six-month periods ended December 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998. The provision for loan losses were made due
to the Company's higher levels of consumer, construction and
commercial loans, which generally entail a greater risk than
single-family residential loans. The Company's allowance for
loan losses as a percentage of total loans outstanding, net of
unearned origination fees of  0.78% at December 31, 1999 is
unchanged from  December 31, 1998. The Company's ratio of net
charge-offs to average loans outstanding was 0.31% for the
quarter ended December 31, 1999 on an annualized basis.

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
$10,000 or 17.8% to $66,000 for the quarter ended December 31,
1999 from $56,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. Total
noninterest income increased by $18,000 or 16.1% to $133,000
during the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $115,000
during the six months ended December 31, 1998.  The increases in
noninterest income in the two comparable periods is primarily
due to higher checking account balances.  These account types
generate more fee income than other account types.

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

Total noninterest expenses increased by $85,000 or 13.0%
to $757,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from
$672,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. Total
noninterest expense increased by $94,000 to $1.5 million during
the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $1.4 million during
the six months ended December 31, 1998. Compensation and
employee benefits expense increased by $46,000 or 10.9% and
$45,000 or 5.2% to $469,000 and $905,000 for the quarter and six
month periods ended December 31, 1999 from $422,000 and $905,000
for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1998,
respectively. The increase was largely attributable to expenses
relating to the hiring of additional personnel and the higher
cost of employee benefits, particularly health insurance.
Equipment expenses, consisting primarily of depreciation and
maintenance of the Company's internal computer systems increased
by $20,000 or 79.6% and $32,000 or 59.5% in the three and six-
month periods ended December 31, 1999 compared to the comparable
periods ended December 31, 1998.

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 an adequate 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, a high level of liquidity will, to a
certain extent, result in lower net interest margins and lower
net income.

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

                                     14
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
investing activities during any given period. At December 31,
1999, the Company's cash on hand, interest-bearing deposits and
Federal funds sold totaled $3.2 million. In addition, the
Company has approximately $5.0 million of mortgage-backed and
equity securities classified as available-for-sale.

The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds
available to meet its current loan commitments of $3.1 million.
These funds will be internally generated, raised through deposit
operations, or borrowed.   Certificates of deposits that are
scheduled to mature in less than one year at December 31, 1999
totaled $33.5 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 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 six months ended December 31, 1999 were loan
principal disbursements, net of repayments, of $7.0 million. The
Company's primary sources of cash provided from investing
activities during the six months ended December 31, 1999 was the
borrowing of $3,000,000 from the federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta.

The Company's primary use of cash in financing activities
during the six months ended December 31, 1999 consisted of a $1
million decrease in deposits and the repurchase of stock and
payment of cash dividends of $438,000.

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

Impact of New Accounting Standards
- ----------------------------------

SFAS no. 132, "Employers' Disclosures About Pensions
and Other Postretirement Benefits" was issued in February 1998.
This statement standardizes the disclosure requirements for
pensions and other postretirement benefits r to the extent
practicable.  The Statement, which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after July 1, 1998 will not effect the Company's
financial position or its results of operations.

SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" was issued in June 1998..  The Statement
standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, by requiring that an entity recognize these items as
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and
measure them at fair value.  This Statement generally provides
for matching the timing of gain or loss recognition on the
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
effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 1999, will not affect the Company's financial
position or its results of operations.

Statement of Position ("SOP") 98-5, "Reporting the Costs of
Start-Up Activities."  This Statement  provides guidance on the
financial reporting of start-up cost and organizational cost.
It requires costs of start-up activities and organization cost
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.
