NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements and,
accordingly, they are condensed and omit disclosures which would substantially
duplicate those contained in the most recent annual report to shareholders. The
financial statements as of September 30, 1999 and for the interim periods ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management,
include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation. The financial information as of December 31,
1998 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For
further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes included in
Communitycorp's 1998 Annual Report.

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

The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition as of
September 30, 1999 compared to December 31, 1998, and the results of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1998. These comments should be read in
conjunction with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and
accompanying footnotes appearing in this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net interest income increased
$496,535 or 22.14% over the same period in 1998. The net interest margin
realized on earning assets decreased from 4.54% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 to 4.23% for the same period in 1999. Yields on earning
assets decreased as a result of lower loans rates while the decrease in interest
rates of deposits resulted in lower yields on interest bearing liabilities. The
interest rate spread decreased by 19 basis points from 3.82% at September 30,
1998 to 3.63% at September 30, 1999.

Net interest income increased from $793,156 for the quarter ending September 30,
1998 to $962,598 for the quarter ending September 30, 1999. This represents an
increase of $169,442 or 21.36%. The net interest margin realized on earning
assets decreased from 4.48% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 to 4.33%
for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The interest rate spread also
decreased by 11 basis points from 3.87% at September 30, 1998 to 3.76% at
September 30, 1999.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
- ---------------------------------------

The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that
management feels is necessary to maintain the allowance for possible loan losses
at an adequate level. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the
provision charged to expense was $250,000. The increase of $80,000 from the
comparable period in 1998 is a result of management's efforts to increase the
allowance for loan losses to correspond with the growth in the loan portfolio.
For the quarter ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the provision charged to
expense was $70,000 and 90,000, respectively. Based on present information,
management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate at September 30,
1999 to meet presently known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS -- continued

NON-INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

Non-interest income during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$361,142, an increase of $114,555 or 46.46% from the comparable period in 1998.
The increase is primarily a result of an increase in service charges from
$223,068 to $308,134 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Overdraft and
NSF fees increased by $67,982 to $215,415 for the nine months ended September
30, 1999. This change is a result of the increase in deposit accounts over the
two periods. Deposits at September 30, 1998 were $67,691,940 compared to
$87,156,123 at September 30, 1999.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, non-interest income increased $35,330
or 40.24% over the same period in 1998. This increase is primarily due to an
increase in service charges which increased $28,941 or 35.44% from the quarter
ended September 30, 1998 to the quarter ended September 30, 1999.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
- --------------------

Total non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$1,357,160 or 8.99% higher than the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Salaries and employee benefits increased from $606,081 at September 30, 1998 to
$654,248 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, non-interest expense increased $52,839
or 12.65% over the same period in 1998. The largest increase between the quarter
ended September 30, 1999 and the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was in other
operating expenses which increased $26,634 or 21.72%.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------

The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$491,716 as compared to $353,580 for the same period in 1998. The effective tax
rates were 32.92% and 32.91% at September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The
effective tax rates were 31.96% and 33.76% for the quarter ended September 30,
1999 and September 30, 1998, respectively.

NET INCOME
- ----------

The combination of the above factors resulted in net income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 of $1,001,842 as compared to $720,865 for the same
period in 1998. This represents an increase of $280,977 or 38.98% over the same
period in 1998. For the quarter ended September 30, 1999, net income was
$370,966 as compared to $247,265 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. This
represents an increase of $123,701 or 50.03% from the quarter ending September
30, 1999 as compared to the quarter ending September 30, 1998.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
- ----------------------

During the first nine months of 1999, total assets increased $7,129,973 or 7.97%
when compared to December 31, 1998. The primary reason for the increase in
assets was due to an increase in securities available for sale which increased
$7,865,122 or 73.21% from December 31, 1998 to September 30, 1999. Growth in
gross loans of $5,805,381 or 11.19% from December 31, 1998 to September 30, 1999
also contributed to the growth in total assets. During the same period, federal
funds sold and repurchase agreements decreased $7,510,000 or 48.11%. Total
deposits increased $6,807,354 or 8.47% from the December 31, 1998 amount of
$80,348,769 to $87,156,123 at September 30, 1999. Within the deposit area,
savings accounts increased $4,245,961 or 30.92% during the first nine months of
1999.

LIQUIDITY
- ---------

Liquidity needs are met by the Company through scheduled maturities of loans and
investments on the asset side and through pricing policies on the liability side
for interest-bearing deposit accounts. The level of liquidity is measured by the
loan-to-total borrowed funds ratio which was at 66.01% at September 30, 1999 and
64.24% at December 31, 1998.

Securities available-for-sale which totaled $18,608,976 at September 30, 1999,
serve as a ready source of liquidity. The Company also has lines of credit
available with correspondent banks to purchase federal funds for periods from
one to seven days. At September 30, 1999, unused lines of credit totaled
$2,500,000.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------

Total shareholders' equity increased from $8,169,578 at December 31, 1998 to
$8,517,635 at September 30, 1999. The increase of $348,057 is primarily
attributable to earnings for the period of $1,001,842 with dividends paid out of
$119,383. A decrease of $309,402 in the fair value of securities
available-for-sale partially offset the increase from net income to total
equity. The purchase of $225,000 of treasury stock further decreased total
equity.

Bank holding companies, such as the Company, and their banking subsidiaries are
required by banking regulators to meet certain minimum levels of capital
adequacy which are expressed in the form of certain ratios. Capital is separated
into Tier I capital (essentially common shareholders' equity less intangible
assets) and Tier II capital (essentially the allowance for loan losses limited
to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets). The first two ratios, which are based on the
degree of credit risk in the Company's assets, provide the weighting of assets
based on assigned risk factors and include off-balance sheet items such as loan
commitments and stand-by letters of credit. The ratio of Tier I capital to
risk-weighted assets must be at least 4.0% and the ratio of total capital (Tier
I capital plus Tier 2 capital) to risk-weighted assets must be at least 8.0%.
The capital leverage ratio supplements the risk-based capital guidelines. Banks
and bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier I
capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of 3.0%.

The following table summarizes the Company's risk-based capital at September 30,
1999:

regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a
material effect on liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

YEAR 2000
- ---------

Like many financial institutions, the Bank relies upon computers for the daily
conduct of its business and for information systems processing. There is concern
among industry experts that on January 1, 2000 computers will be unable to
"read" the new year, which may result in widespread computer malfunctions. While
the Bank believes that it has available resources and has adopted a plan to
address Year 2000 compliance, it is still dependent to a certain degree on other
third party vendors. The Bank acquired a new data processing system in early
1997 which the Bank believes is Year 2000 compliant. Testing for this new system
was completed as of March 31, 1999. All phases of the testing were considered to
be successful. The Bank has incurred approximately $15,000 in expenses to
upgrade its computer systems to become Year 2000 compliant. Any other costs
associated with upgrading are not expected to be material.

The Bank anticipates that the costs to upgrade other ancillary systems will not
materially differ from normal costs incurred during prior years to upgrade and
maintain its computer systems. The Bank has completed an evaluation of all its
internal systems and software and the network connections it maintains, and it
may incur only minor additional costs. The Bank is seeking assurances about the
Year 2000 compliance with respect to the other third party hardware and software
systems it uses, and the Bank believes that its internal systems and software
and the network connections it maintains will be adequately programmed to
address the Year 2000 issue. The Bank has completed testing all ancillary
systems, such as telephone systems and security devices, as of March 31, 1999.
There can be no assurances that all hardware and software that the Bank uses
will be Year 2000 compliant, and the Bank cannot predict with any certainty the
costs it will incur to respond to any Year 2000 issues. Factors which may affect
the amount of these costs include the Bank's inability to control third party
modification plans, the Bank's ability to identify and correct all relevant
computer codes, the availability and cost of engaging personnel trained in
solving Year 2000 issues, and other similar uncertainties.

Further, the business of many of the Bank's customers may be negatively affected
by the Year 2000 issue, and any financial difficulties incurred by the Bank's
customers in solving Year 2000 issues could negatively affect those customers'
ability to repay any loans which the Bank may have extended. Therefore, even if
the Bank does not incur significant direct costs in connection with responding
to the Year 2000 issue, there can be no assurance that the failure or delay of
the Bank's customers or other third parties in addressing the Year 2000 issue or
the costs involved in such process will not have a material adverse effect on
the Bank's business, financial condition, or results of operations.

The Bank has developed a Contingency Plan (Plan) to ensure its ability to
continue as a functioning entity after January 1, 2000. The Plan includes
remediation contingency planning and business resumption contingency planning.
The remediation contingency plans are designed to ensure that responsible
personnel, vendors and service providers adhere to the Bank's Year 2000 plans
and objectives. The business resumption contingency plans are designed to
provide assurance that mission-critical functions will continue in the event
that systems or applications fail as a result of year 2000 problems.
