According to Jerry Chancellor, President, net interest income increased to
$2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 1997 compared to $1.9
million for the comparable period in 1996. Chancellor stated that this

increased by $34,000 to $387,000 from $353,000 for the same period ended

net of $974,000. In addition, during the period, Jacksonville originated
and sold 109 loans in the amount of $8.5 million to the secondary market,
