Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2000 and September 30, 1999

Total assets were $199.4 million at March 31, 2000 and $198.0 million at
September 30, 1999, an increase of  $1.4 million or 0.7%.

Cash and cash equivalents increased from $6.8 million at September 30, 1999 to
$11.3 million at March 31, 2000, an increase of $4.5 million or 66.2%.  This
increase was a result of a $3.2 million increase in deposits and the maturity of
$10.0 million in FHLB notes offset by a $6.8 million increase in loans.

Investments available for sale decreased $10.0 million, or 83.3%, from $12.0
million at September 30, 1999 to $2.0 million at March 31, 2000.  This decrease
was due to the maturity of $10.0 million in FHLB notes during February 2000.

Mortgage-backed securities available for sale and mortgage-backed securities
held to maturity decreased from $4.8 million at September 30, 1999 to $4.1
million at March 31.  This decrease was due to scheduled repayments.

Loans receivable, increased from $167.9 million at September 30, 1999 to $174.7
million at March 31, 2000, an increase of $6.8 million, or 4.1%.  This increase
was primarily due to an increase in loan production offset by the sale of $2.1
million of loans.  During the year, the Bank has increased its production of
nonresidential, home equity, and multi-family loans in an effort to increase
loan yield.

Deposit accounts increased from $160.8 million at September 30, 1999 to $164.0
million at March 31, 2000, an increase of 2.0%.  This increase was mainly in
certificates of deposits, which have increased as a result of the higher
interest rate environment.

Paid in capital decreased $1.4 million from $20.1 million at September 30, 1999
to $18.7 million at March 31, 2000.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2000,
the Company repurchased 189,000 shares of its own stock for a total cost of $2.6
million.  These shares were retired from issued and outstanding.  Also, at the
February 2, 2000 annual meeting, the shareholders approved a Management
Recognition Plan ("MRP") for key employees and directors.  The granting of the
MRP stock, 89,930 shares, resulted in an increase of paid in capital of $1.2
million, representing the fair market value of the stock on the date it was
granted.

Unallocated ESOP stock decreased by $95,283.  This decrease was a result of the
ESOP trust using dividends that it had received in the calendar year 1999 to
make an additional loan repayment of $35,972, which resulted in a release of an
additional 3,597.20 shares which were allocated to eligible employees in January
2000.  Also, 2,997.66 shares were allocated to eligible employees as part of the
normal repayment of the ESOP loan, which resulted in a decline of $29,976.
Unallocated ESOP stock decreases every month due to the Bank recording the
shares earned for that month that will be allocated in the future to eligible
employees.

On February 2, 2000, 89,930 shares of MRP stock were granted to key employees
and directors.  Twenty percent of these shares vested immediately.  The
remaining fair market value of the shares not vested, $935,207, was recorded as
a reduction to shareholder's equity.  The 71,939 shares that have not vested
will vest over a 48-month period.  Each month the Company records compensation
and benefits expense and reduces the unearned compensation MRP for $19,483.

Retained earnings increased by the net income earned during the six months ended
March 31, 2000 of  $0.7 million.  During the six months ended March 31, 2000 the
Company paid dividends totaling $0.10 a share to stockholders.  This dividend
resulted in a $0.2 million decrease in retained earnings.

Results of Operations

The earnings of the Company depend primarily on its level of net interest income
which is the difference between interest earned on the Company's interest-
earning assets and the interest paid on its interest-bearing liabilities.  Net
interest income is a function of the Company's spread, which is the difference

                                       9

between yield earned on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-
bearing liabilities, as well as a function of the average balance of interest-
earning assets as compared to the average balance of interest-bearing
liabilities.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999

Net Income.  Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $733,702
compared to $843,652 for the six months ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of
13.0%.  This decrease was primarily a result of an increase in compensation and
benefits offset by an increase in net interest income.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased from $2,799,631 for the six
months ended March 31, 1999 to $3,202,974 for the six months ended March 31,
2000.  A decrease in interest expense on borrowings accounted for $216,092 of
the increase in net interest income.  Interest expense on borrowings decreased
as a result of a $6.0 million decrease in average borrowings outstanding during
the respective periods.  This decrease was a result of the Company repaying $7.0
million of FHLB advances that were outstanding at March 31, 1999.  Yield on
interest-earning assets increased due to changing the composition of interest
earning assets.  The Company increased average loans outstanding by $14 million
during the six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the six months ended
March 31, 1999.  This increase in yield and average loans outstanding accounted
for the remainder increase in net interest income.

Provision for Loan Losses.  No provision for loan losses was made in either the
six months ended March 31, 2000 or the six months ended March 31, 1999.  In the
opinion of management, based on its review of specific loans and historical loss
experience, the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable credit
losses that were incurred as of March 31, 2000 and 1999.  Accordingly, no
provision for loan losses was recorded during the six months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999.

Non-interest income.  Non-interest income decreased from $187,206 for the six-
month period ended March 31, 1999 to $144,410 for the six-month period ended
March 31, 2000.  The Company experienced a decrease in loan servicing fees due
to a decrease in loans serviced for others.  Also gain on sales of loans
declined due to fewer loans sales.

Non-interest expense.  Non-interest expense increased from $1,643,120 during the
six-month period ended March 31, 1999 to $2,192,387 for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2000.  Increases in compensation and benefits, occupancy and
equipment, and advertising during the six-month period ended March 31, 2000
account for the majority of this increase.  The increase in compensation and
benefits was a result of an increase in the number of employees, normal annual
increases in salaries of existing employees, ESOP expenses, and MRP expenses.
The implementation of the MRP resulted in $272,849 expense during the six-month
period ended March 31, 2000.  Occupancy and equipment expenses increased during
the six-month period ended March 31, 2000 because of an increase in depreciation
of fixed assets, due to the installation of a local area network and an upgrade
of the Company's computer hardware to accommodate the requirements of its
service bureau's software since March 31, 1999.  Advertising increased during
the period ended March 31, 2000 due to the Bank's home equity marketing
campaign.  Home equity loans have increased approximately $1.4 million during
the six months ended March 31, 2000.

Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes decreased from
$500,065 for the six-month period ended March 31, 1999 to $421,295 for the six-
month period ended March 31, 2000 as a result of lower pre-tax income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999

Net Income.  Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $289,497
compared to $499,607 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of
42.1%.  This decrease was primarily a result of an increase in non-interest
expense.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased from $1,578,085 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 to $1,587,921 for the three months ended March
31, 2000.

Provision for Loan Losses.  No provision for loan losses was made in either the
three months ended March 31, 2000 or the three months ended March 31, 1999.  In
the opinion of management, based on its review of specific loans and historical
loss experience, the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable

                                       10
<PAGE>

credit losses that were incurred as of March 31, 2000 and 1999.  Accordingly, no
provision for loan losses was recorded during the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999.

Non-interest income.  Non-interest income increased from $61,690 for the three-
month period ended March 31, 1999 to $65,483 for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2000.

Non-interest expense.  Non-interest expense increased from $842,450 during the
three-month period ended March 31, 1999 to $1,212,849 for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000. Increases in compensation and benefits and occupancy and
equipment during the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 account for the
majority of this increase.  The increase in compensation and benefits was a
result of an increase in the number of employees, normal annual increases in
salaries of existing employees, and MRP expenses.  The implementation of the MRP
resulted in $272,849 expense during the three-month period ended March 31, 2000.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased during the three-month period ended
March 31, 2000 because of an increase in depreciation of fixed assets, due to
the installation of a local area network and an upgrade of its computer hardware
to accommodate the requirements of its service bureau's software since March 31,
1999.

Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes decreased from
$297,718 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 to $151,058 for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2000 as a result of lower pre-tax income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The Company's primary sources of funds are
customer deposits, proceeds from loan principal and interest payments, sales of
loans, maturing investments, and FHLB of Atlanta advances.  While maturities and
scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows
and mortgage prepayments are influenced greatly by general interest rates, other
economic conditions, and competition.

The Bank is required by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") to maintain an
average daily balance of specified liquid assets equal to a monthly average of
not less than a specified percentage (currently 4%) of its net withdrawable
deposit accounts plus short-term borrowings.  Monetary penalties may be imposed
for failure to meet these liquidity requirements.  The Bank's average liquidity
ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was 9.24%, which exceeded the
applicable requirements.  Given it excess liquidity and its ability to borrow
from the FHLB of Atlanta, the Bank believes that it will have sufficient funds
available to meet anticipated future loan commitments, unexpected deposit
withdrawals, and other cash requirements.

As of March 31, 2000, the Bank's regulatory capital was in excess of all
applicable regulatory requirements.  At March 31, 2000, under applicable
regulations, the Bank's actual tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios were
13.9%, 13.9% and 24.4%, respectively, compared to requirements of 1.5%, 3.0%,
and 8.0%, respectively.

Due to the Company's excess capital position, the Board of Directors continues
to consider opportunities to enhance shareholder value, including stock
repurchases, special cash dividends and a return of capital.  A decision by the
Board of Directors to undertake any of these activities will depend upon a
number of factors, including investment opportunities available to the Company
and the Bank, capital requirements, regulatory limitations, the Company's and
the Bank's results of operations and financial condition, tax considerations and
general economic conditions.  Upon review of such considerations, the Board of
Directors may authorize such activities if it deems them appropriate and in
compliance with applicable law and regulation.  However, no assurances can be
given that any of these activities will in fact be authorized by the Board of
Directors in the future.
