NET.B@NK, INC. 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1996, THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
AND 1996, THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997,
AND THE PERIOD FEBRUARY 20, 1996 (DATE OF INCORPORATION )
TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 (UNAUDITED)

1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    Net.B@nk, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on February 20, 1996 for the
    primary purpose of forming and, ultimately, operating Atlanta Internet Bank
    ("AIB").  As of the beginning of the quarter ended September 30, 1997,
    pending regulatory approval and the acquisition of a bank charter, AIB was
    operating as a development stage enterprise under an agreement with Carolina
    First Bank ("CFB") whereby CFB agreed to hold and service the deposit
    accounts generated by the Internet banking operations of the Company in
    exchange for 1,325,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at
    $3,840,000.  As of the beginning of the quarter ended September 30, 1997,
    the Company was also party to an agreement with First Alliance/Premier
    Bancshares, Inc. ("First Alliance") pursuant to which the Company had agreed
    to purchase the charter of First Alliance's subsidiary, Premier Bank, $5
    million of loans, $5 million of certificates of deposit, and $2 million in
    unimpaired capital for $2,150,000 in cash, 41,406 shares of the Company's
    common stock valued at $125,000, and a maximum of $100,000 in additional
    cash for reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses. 

    On July 11, 1997, the final regulatory approval from the Office of Thrift
    Supervision was received.  On July 28, 1997, the Company sold 3,500,000
    shares of its common stock to the public in an initial public offering (the
    "Offering").  On July 31, 1997, the Company received approximately $38.4
    million in net proceeds from the Offering and consummated its agreements
    with both First Alliance and CFB.  As a result AIB, a federal savings bank,
    became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  

    In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
    statements included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting only of
    normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair statement of the
    results for the interim periods presented.  Certain information and footnote
    disclosures normally included in financial statements have been condensed or
    omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and
    Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial statements included herein should
    be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, and
    the Independent Auditors' Report included in the Company's Registration 
    Statement on Form S-1 (Regis. No. 333-23717). The results of operations 
    for the interim periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of
    results to be expected for the full year.  Certain 1996 amounts have been
    reclassified for comparability with 1997 amounts.

2.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in the
    notes to financial statements contained in the Company's Registration 
    Statement on Form S-1 (Regis. No. 333-23717). The Company has followed 
    those policies in preparing this report.  In addition, the following 
    accounting policies were adopted during the three-month period ended 
    September 30, 1997:

    Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements of the Company include
    the financial statements of AIB, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary.  All
    intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
    consolidation.

    Investment Securities Available for Sale - Investment securities classified
    as available for sale are carried at fair value.  The related unrealized
    gain or loss, net of tax, is included as a separate component of
    shareholders' equity.  Gains and losses from dispositions are based on the
    net proceeds and the adjusted carrying amounts of the securities sold using
    the specific identification method.

    Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a
    level estimated to be adequate to provide for potential losses in the loan
    portfolio.  Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based upon
    reviews of individual loans, recent loss experience, current economic
    conditions, the risk characteristics of the various categories of loans, and
    other pertinent factors.  Loans deemed uncollectible are charged to the
    allowance.  Provisions for loan losses and recoveries on loans previously
    charged off are added to the allowance.

    Bank Charter - Bank charter represents the charter purchased from Premier
    Bank.  The value of the charter is being amortized on a straight-line basis
    over 25 years.  The carrying value of the charter is periodically reviewed
    to assess recoverability based on expected undiscounted cash flows and
    operating income for AIB.  Impairment would be recognized in operating
    results if a permanent diminution in value was expected.   The Company also
    evaluates the amortization period of the bank charter to determine whether
    events or circumstances warrant revised estimates of the useful life.  The
    Company believes that no material impairment of the bank charter exists at
    September 30, 1997.

    Interest Income on Loans - Interest on loans is generally recorded over the
    term of the loan based on the unpaid principal balance.  Accrual of interest
    is discontinued when either principal or interest becomes 90 days past due
    or when, in management's opinion, collectibility of such interest is
    doubtful.

    Premium on Loans Purchased - Premiums on loans purchased from third parties
    are capitalized and amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to
    yield.  Such premiums are classified with the loan balance to which they
    relate for financial reporting purposes.

3.  PURCHASE OF LOANS

    Effective August 1, 1997, the Company purchased $26.5 million in first and
    second mortgage, auto, and unsecured loans from CFB.  The purchase price
    included a premium of $607,831.  All of these loans will be serviced by CFB
    for a fee ranging from 1.25% to .375%.  The loans bear interest at rates
    ranging from 6.0% to 12%.  In addition, effective August 1, 1997, the
    Company also purchased $6.1 million in 11.5% auto leases from a third party
    who will continue to service the loans for a 2% fee.

                                          8
<PAGE>
4.  NET LOSS PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

    Net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number
    of common shares outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent shares
    have not been included in the computation of net loss per share as such
    shares would be anti-dilutive. 

5.  STOCK OPTIONS

    The Company has a 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which provides that
    key employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company may be
    granted nonqualified and incentive stock options to purchase shares of
    Common Stock of the Company, derivative securities related to the value of
    the Common Stock, or cash awards.  The Plan limits the total number of
    shares which may be awarded to 397,500, which have been reserved for the
    Plan.  Awards to officers and employees under the Plan during the nine-month
    period ended September 30, 1997 were as follows:  124,219 nonqualified stock
    options at an exercise price of $1.21 per share on January 5, 1997; 39,750
    incentive stock options at an exercise price of $3.62 per share on February
    25, 1997; and 173,906 incentive stock options at an exercise price of $10.00
    per share on February 25, 1997.  In connection with the awards, the Company
    will record total compensation expense of $390,484 over the three-year
    vesting period of the options.  The majority of the nonqualified options
    vested immediately on July 28, 1997 upon completion of the Offering, and
    $319,704 of such unamortized compensation expense was recognized.

    In addition, on July 30, 1997, the Company granted 15,000 nonqualified stock
    options at an exercise price of $11.00 per share under the Plan.  The
    options vest one-third on the first anniversary of the date of issuance,
    one-third on the second anniversary of the date of issuance, and one-third
    on the third anniversary of the date of issuance.  No compensation expense
    will be recorded related to these options.

6.  IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
    Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 128, "Earnings per
    Share," and 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure."  SFAS
    128 established standards for computing and presenting earnings per share
    and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential common
    stock.  SFAS 129 establishes standards for disclosing information about an
    entity's capital structure.

    In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and
    131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." 
    SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
    income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full
    set of general purpose financial statements.  SFAS 131 establishes standards
    for, among other things, reporting information about operating segments in
    annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report
    selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports
    issued to shareholders. 

    SFAS 128 and SFAS 129 are effective for financial statements issued for
    periods ending after December 15, 1997.  SFAS 130 and SFAS 131 are effective
    for financial statements issued for periods beginning after December 15,
    1997.  None of these Statements is expected to have a material effect on
    the Company's financial statements.

    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
    OPERATIONS

    General - The Company was incorporated as a Georgia corporation on February
    20, 1996 for the purpose of forming and, ultimately, operating Atlanta
    Internet Bank ("AIB") as a wholly owned federal savings bank subsidiary.  As
    of the beginning of the quarter ended September 30, 1997, pending regulatory
    approval and the acquisition of a bank charter, AIB was operating as a
    development stage enterprise under an agreement with Carolina First Bank
    ("CFB") whereby CFB agreed to hold and service the deposit accounts
    generated by the Internet banking operations of the Company in exchange for
    1,325,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $3,840,000.  As of
    the beginning of the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company was also
    party to an agreement with First Alliance/Premier Bancshares, Inc. ("First
    Alliance") pursuant to which the Company had agreed to purchase the charter
    of First Alliance's subsidiary, Premier Bank (the "Charter"), and $5 million
    in loans, $5 million in certificates of deposit, and $2 million in
    unimpaired capital for $2,150,000 in cash, 41,406 shares of the Company's
    common stock valued at $125,000 and a maximum of $100,000 in additional cash
    for reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses.  

    On July 11, 1997, the final regulatory approval from the Office of Thrift
    Supervision ("OTS") was received.  On July 28, 1997, the Company sold
    3,500,000 shares of its common stock to the public in an initial public
    offering (the "Offering").  On July 31, 1997, the Company received
    approximately  $38.4 million in net proceeds from the Offering and
    consummated its agreements with both First Alliance and CFB.  As a result
    AIB, a federal savings bank,  became a wholly owned subsidiary of the
    Company.  As of September 30, 1997, the Company had 3,347 accounts and
    approximately $46 million in deposits.

    Financial Condition - The Company's assets amounted to $81.1 million at
    September 30, 1997, compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 1996, an
    increase of $79.9 million.  This increase in total assets was due to the
    receipt of approximately $38.4 million in net proceeds from the Offering and
    approximately $47.8 million in cash related to customer deposits transferred
    to AIB from CFB and First Alliance upon consummation of the servicing
    agreement and purchase of the Charter.  Net proceeds amounting to $11.2
    million and $225,000 were invested in mortgage-backed securities and Federal
    Home Loan Bank stock, respectively.  Approximately $35 million in net
    proceeds was invested in overnight federal funds at September 30, 1997.  An
    additional $35.7 million in net proceeds was used to purchase first and
    second mortgage loans, auto leases and loans, and unsecured loans from CFB
    and another third party.  The remaining net proceeds were used for the
    Premier Bank stock purchase ($2.3 million), reimbursement of CFB expenses
    ($2.1 million), bonus payments ($450,000), and general corporate purposes.  

    Total liabilities increased $44.5 million due to the transfer of
    approximately $47.8 million in customer deposits from CFB and First Alliance
    as a result of consummation of the Company's servicing agreement with CFB
    and purchase of the Charter.  This increase in customer deposits was offset
    by the payment of advances owed to CFB in the amount of $2.1 million also as
    a result of consummation of the servicing agreement.  

    Total shareholders' equity (deficit) increased approximately $35.3 million
    from a deficit of approximately $386,000 to equity of $35.0 million due
    primarily to the receipt of approximately $38.4 million in net proceeds from
    the issuance of common stock, including shares issued in the Offering and
    shares issued for the purchase of the Premier charter.   The increase
    resulting from the issuance of stock was offset by an increase in unrealized
    losses on securities held for sale of $52,000 and losses for the nine months
    amounting to $4.7 million.  In addition, all remaining stock subscriptions
    were issued during the third quarter, but the issuance had no effect on
    total equity.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources - The Company's liquidity, represented by
    cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing, and
    financial activities.  The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits,
    borrowings, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans,
    sales of loans, maturities of investment securities and other short-term
    investments, and funds provided from operations.  While scheduled loan
    amortization and maturing investment securities and short-term investments
    are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan
    prepayments are greatly influenced  by general interest rates, economic
    conditions, and competition.  The Company invests excess funds in overnight
    deposits and other short-term interest-earning assets.  The Company can use
    cash generated through the retail deposit market, its traditional funding
    source, to offset the cash utilized in investing activities.  The Company's
    available for sale securities and short term interest-earning assets can
    also be used to provide liquidity for lending and other operational
    requirements.  As an additional source of funds, the Company may borrow from
    the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta or through securities sold under
    repurchase agreements.  

    AIB is required by OTS regulations to maintain tangible capital equal to at
    least 1.5% of adjusted total assets, core capital equal to at least 3.0% of
    adjusted total assets, and total capital equal to at least 8.0% of
    risk-weighted assets.  AIB exceeded such requirements with tangible, core,
    and total capital equal to 34.23%, 34.23%, and 69.95 %, respectively, at
    September 30, 1997.

Results of Operations for the the Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 
1996 and the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 as Compared with the Period 
from February 20, 1996 to September 30, 1996 

General--Net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 amounted to 
$4.7 million, an increase of $3.5 million (286%) when compared to the period 
from February 20, 1996 to September 30, 1996. Losses for the quarter ended 
September 30, 1997 totaled $1.5 million as compared with $1.2 million for the 
quarter ended September 30, 1996, representing a 24.8% increase. The 
statement of operations for the period from February 20,

<PAGE>


    1996 to September 30, 1996 reflects the initial phase of the Company's
    operations, including the acquisition, testing and implementation of the
    Internet banking platform, marketing expenses, and the accrual of CFB's
    expense reimbursements.  Under the operations agreement, customer deposits
    and the related assets resulting from the Company's marketing efforts, which
    began in August 1996, were included in CFB's financial operations.

    Interest Income - Interest income for the three months and nine months ended
    September 30, 1997 was $902,000 and $908,000, respectively.  No significant
    amount of interest income was recorded for either the three months ended
    September 30, 1996 or the period from February 20, 1996 to September 30,
    1996 as the Company had no investments or loans at that time.  During the
    three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company received the net proceeds
    from the Offering and customer deposits held by CFB and invested those
    proceeds in federal funds, mortgage-backed securities, and loans purchased
    from CFB and an independent third party.  Those investments generated
    interest income for the Company for the first time in the third quarter of
    1997.

    Interest Expense - As the Company did not begin originating deposit accounts
    until October 1996, no interest expense was recorded for either the quarter
    ended September 30, 1996 or the period from February 20, 1996 to September
    1996.  On July 31, 1997, based on the terms of the servicing agreement and
    the Charter purchase agreement, CFB and First Alliance transferred
    approximately  $47.8 million in customer deposits and related assets to AIB.
    As a result, the Company recorded approximately $465,000 of interest expense
    during  the three-month period ended September 30, 1997.  Approximately
    $140,000 of additional interest expense was recorded during the nine months
    ended September 30, 1997.  This additional amount represents the difference
    between interest expense paid to customers and interest income paid to the
    Company by CFB at contractual rates prior to the transfer of customer
    deposits and was included in the Company's operations.

    Net Interest Income - Net interest income is determined by the Company's
    interest rate spread (i.e., the difference between the yields earned on its
    interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing
    liabilities) and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and
    interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income was $437,000 and $304,000
    for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  As
    the Company did not have any significant investments, loans, or customer
    deposits during the entirety of the period from February 20, 1996 to
    September 30, 1996, no significant amount of net interest income was
    recorded for either the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 or the
    period from February 20, 1996 to September 30, 1996. 

    Provision for Loan Losses - As the Company purchased loans during the three
    months ended September 30, 1997, $392,000 was recorded as a provision for
    loan loss.  The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level estimated
    to be adequate to provide for potential losses in the loan portfolio. 
    Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based upon reviews of
    individual loans, recent loss experience, current economic conditions, the
    risk characteristics of the various categories of loans, and other pertinent
    factors.  As the Company did not have any loans during the period February
    20, 1996 to September 30, 1996, no provision for loan loss was recorded for
    the three months ended September 30, 1996 or the period from February 20,
    1996 to September 30, 1996.

    Other Operating Income - For both the three- and nine-month periods ended
    September 30, 1997, the Company recorded approximately $29,000 in loan and
    deposit service charges and fees.  As the Company did not have any loans, or
    customer deposits during the period February 20, 1996 to September 30, 1996,
    no such service fees were recorded for the three months ended September 30,
    1996 or the period from February 20, 1996 to September 30, 1996.  Only
    miscellaneous management fees in 

                                          13
<PAGE>

    the amount of $60,000 were recorded during the period from February 20, 
    1996 to September 30, 1996.  No amount of other operating income was 
    recorded for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996.

    Other Operating Expenses - Other operating expenses increased $376,000 
    (30.8%) from $1.2 million to $1.6 million for the three months ended 
    September 30, 1997 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 
    1996.  The primary components of the increase during the three months ended
    September 30, 1997 were an increase of $885,000 in salaries and benefits 
    which reflects the payment of approximately $450,000 in bonuses to officers;
    the amortization of approximately $207,000 in stock plan expense; an 
    increase of  $102,000 and $114,000 in customer service and marketing 
    expense, respectively, reflecting the continued growth of the Company's
    deposit base and related support functions; and an increase of approximately
    $61,000 in other operating expenses.  The above increases were offset by a 
    $960,000 decrease in the amortization of service contract with affiliate as
    the service contract was fully amortized during the second quarter of 1997.

    Other operating expenses increased $3.4 million (276%) from $1.3 million to
    $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared with
    the period from February 20, 1996 to September 30, 1996. The expenses for
    the period from February 20, 1996 to September 30, 1996 reflect only the 
    initial phase of the Company's operations, including the acquisition, 
    testing, and implementation of the Internet banking platform, marketing
    expenses, and the accrual of CFB's expense reimbursements.  The most 
    significant components of the increase  were an increase of $480,000 in
    amortization of service contract with affiliate due to the inclusion of 
    more months of amortization in the 1997 period versus the 1996 period.  
    In addition, salaries and benefits for the nine months ended September 30,
    1997 reflect the payment of approximately $450,000 in bonuses to officers 
    during the third quarter and the amortization of approximately $319,000 in
    stock plan expense.  The increase of $153,000 and $204,000 in customer 
    service and data processing expense, respectively, reflects the continued
    growth of the Company's deposit base and related support functions.
