(e) During the past five years, Mr. Friend has not been a

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
On November 10, 1997, a Florida corporation named "Southern
Security Bank Corporation" ("Former SSBC") was merged with and into the issuer,
which was then named "Southern Security Financial Corporation." Immediately
after the merger, the name of the issuer was changed to "Southern Security Bank
Corporation." Pursuant to the terms of the merger, outstanding shares of class A
common stock of Former SSBC were converted into shares of Class A common stock
of the issuer on a three for one basis, and in the aggregate the shareholders of
Former SSBC received class A common stock of the issuer equal to approximately
95% of the total outstanding as a result of the merger. As a shareholder of
Former SSBC, Mr. Friend received his Shares of the Company pursuant to the terms
of the merger in exchange for three times as many shares of class A common stock
of Former SSBC.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Mr. Friend acquired and holds the Shares for long-term
investment purposes. Nevertheless, Mr. Friend will continually evaluate the
business, financial condition, and prospects of the Company, market price of the
Shares, return on his investment, alternative investments, conditions in the
economy and his own need for liquidity in his investments with a view toward
determining whether to hold, decrease, or increase his investment in Shares.
From time to time, based upon such evaluation, Mr. Friend may sell some or all
of his Shares, or he may purchase additional Shares, at varying prices on the
open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through the exercise of
employee stock options, and/or in other transactions.
Mr. Friend has not made any plans or proposals which relate to
or would result in: (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization, or liquidation involving the Company or any of its
subsidiaries; (ii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the
Company; (iii) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the
Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number of or term of
Directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (iv) any material
change in the Company's present capitalization or dividend policy; (v) any
material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (vi) changes
in the Company's charter, by-laws, or instruments corresponding thereto or
actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any
person; (vii) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association
(although, it should be noted that the Shares are not presently listed with any
national securities exchange or quoted in any inter-dealer quotation system of a
registered national securities exchange); (viii) a class of equity securities of
the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to
Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (ix) any action
similar to any of those enumerated above.
