NOTE 1  STATE OF FRANKLIN BANCSHARES, INC.

        State of Franklin Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated
        under the laws of the State of Tennessee for the purpose of becoming the
        holding company of State of Franklin Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank").
        The stockholders of the Savings Bank will exchange their shares for the
        shares of the Company, whereby the Savings Bank will become the
        Company's wholly owned subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements
        included herein are for the Company, the Savings Bank, and the Savings
        Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, John Sevier Title Services, Inc. (the
        "Title Company").



NOTE 2  BASIS OF PREPARATION

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were
        prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
        interim financial information in accordance with the instructions for
        Form 10-Q SB. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures necessary
        for a complete presentation of the consolidated statements of financial
        condition, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated
        statements of stockholders' equity, and consolidated statements of cash
        flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
        However, all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
        necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements
        have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
        nature. The statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended
        June 30, 1998, is not necessarily indicative of the results which may be
        expected for the entire year.

        These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
        with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for
        the Savings Bank for the year ended December 31, 1997.

NOTE 6  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

        In June of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, (SFAS No. 130),
        Reporting Comprehensive Income. This new statement establishes standards
        for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in
        a basic set of financial statements. The purpose of reporting
        comprehensive income is to report a measure of all changes in equity of
        an enterprise that results from recognized transactions and other
        economic events of the period other than transactions with owners in
        their capacity as owners.

        Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business
        enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and
        circumstances from nonowner sources. It includes all changes in equity
        during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and
        distributions to owners.

        Reclassification adjustments are made to avoid counting in comprehensive
        income items that are displayed as part of net income for a period that
        also had been displayed as part of other comprehensive income in that
        period or earlier periods. For example, gains on investment securities
        that were realized and included in net income of the current period that
        also had been included in other comprehensive income as unrealized
        holding gains in the period in which they arose must be deducted through
        other comprehensive income of the period in which they are included in
        net income to avoid including them in comprehensive income twice.

        The Savings Bank adopted SFAS No. 130 effective December 31, 1997 and
        restated the previous year's financial statements to comply with the new
        reporting requirements.



NOTE 7  FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK

        In the second quarter of 1998, the Savings Bank became a member of the
        Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati ("FHLB of Cincinnati"). The Savings
        Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati, is required to own capital
        stock in the FHLB of Cincinnati. The Savings Bank received $9,000,000 in
        advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati.



NOTE 8  EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the average number of
        shares outstanding through the period. Basic and dilutive earnings per
        share amounts are equal for the six month and three month periods ended
        June 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

NOTE 9  STOCK OPTION PLANS

        On December 21, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
        Stock Option Plan for Directors and the Stock Option Plan for
        Management. A total of 15% of the original stock offering (91,500
        shares) was reserved for these plans. These plans were retroactively
        amended after year end.

        Under the amended stock option plan for the outside directors, one-third
        of the total shares were granted to the outside directors as
        compensation for directors' fees over the next five years. Beginning
        when the Company has annual profitability, the options will vest at 20%
        per year to each director. This will total 2,770 shares per director.
        The exercise price of the options is $10.00 per share. The vested
        portion of the options may be exercised at any time. There is no
        termination date on the options, but in the event of death, the estate
        must exercise the options within twelve months. If the Company is sold
        or merged, the options become 100% vested.

        Under the stock option plan for management, the remaining 61,000 shares
        were granted to management as an incentive in the Savings Bank's
        performance. The options retroactively began to vest after three
        consecutive quarters of profitability. The options will vest at 20% per
        year for five years. The exercise price of the options is $10.00 per
        share. The vested portion of the options may be exercised at any time.
        There is no termination date on the options, but in the event of death,
        the estate must exercise the options within twelve months. If the
        individual leaves the service of the Savings Bank, the options must be
        exercised within three months, although this requirement may be waived
        by the board. If the Savings Bank is sold or merged, the options become
        100% vested.

        The stock option plans for outside directors and for management were
        amended again, effective April 17, 1998, for 15% of the secondary
        offering (75,192 shares). One-third of these shares was allocated to
        outside directors and the remaining to management. Exercise price of
        these options was set at $11.00 per share. The other terms of these
        options are the same as the terms of the original options.


NOTE 10 STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

        A private placement offering was conducted in 1997 with 501,280 shares
        of subscribed common stock sold for $11.00 per share. The offering began
        April 7, 1997 and expired on September 30, 1997. Net proceeds received
        from the offering were $1,872,264 for the second three months ended June
        30, 1997.

NOTE 11 EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND TRUST (ESOP)

        The Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (ESOP) was established and
        funded for 1997 although it was not leveraged at June 30, 1998. A
        contribution of $57,600 was contributed to the plan for 1997. At
        February 28, 1998, 5,236 shares were issued to the plan for the 1997
        contribution. The stock will be allocated to employees based on their
        salaries. All employees who work over 1,000 hours are immediately
        eligible for the plan. Employees will be fully vested after seven years
        of service. This plan has a 401k feature that began in 1998, which
        allows employees to defer up to 6% of their salary and is matched by the
        Savings Bank dollar for dollar.

        for 44% of the total compared to $216,000 or 51% for the second three
        months of 1997.

                              BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

        The Company places an emphasis on an integrated approach to its balance
        sheet management. Significant balance sheet components of investment
        securities, loans and sources of funds are managed in an integrated
        manner with the management of interest rate risk, liquidity, and
        capital. These components are examined below.

        INVESTMENT SECURITIES

        Investment securities totaled $18.6 million at June 30, 1998. The
        majority of the holdings are backed by U. S. Government or Federal
        Agency guarantees limiting the credit risk associated with these
        securities. At June 30, 1998, approximately $17.1 million of investment
        securities were held as available-for-sale compared to $14.6 million at
        June 30, 1997. This $2.5 million increase was offset by a $9 million
        decrease in investments held-to-maturity.

        LOANS

        Loans outstanding totaled $68.4 million at June 30, 1998. This
        represented an increase of 216% from the June 30, 1997 outstanding loans
        of $31.7 million.

        Consumer loans increased to $6.6 million at June 30, 1998, a increase of
        206% from $3.2 million at June 30, 1997. Real estate construction
        lending totaled $9.5 and $18.6 million at June 30, 1997 and 1998,
        respectively. Commercial loans of $18.4 million at June 30, 1998
        increased 255% from $5.2 million at June 30, 1997. During the first six
        months of 1998, commercial loans serviced increased to $1.5 million from
        $945,000 at June 30, 1997.

        NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

        There were no non-performing assets or nonaccrual loans at June 30, 1998
        and June 30, 1997. The allowance for possible loan losses was $483,000
        and $228,000 at June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Management
        believes the allowance for possible loan losses is adequate to provide
        for potential loan losses.

        DEPOSITS

        Total deposits at June 30, 1998 of $85.7 million, represented an
        increase of $27 million or a 146% increase from $58.7 million at June
        30, 1997. Non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $4.3 million at
        June 30,1998, an increase of $452,000 from June 30, 1997. Interest
        bearing demand and money market deposits increased $4.6 million to $13.2
        million at June 30, 1998. Savings deposits increased $1 million to $4.3
        million at June 30, 1998. Time deposits of $63.8 million were increased
        $18.5 million from $45.3 million at June 30, 1997.

        CAPITAL

        Equity capital at June 30, 1998 was $11.1 million, an increase of $4.3
        million from $6.8 million at June 30, 1997. The Savings Bank is
        currently prohibited from paying dividends to the Company as required by
        banking regulations.

        At June 30, 1998, all capital ratios were in excess of the regulatory
        minimums, with the Company's Tier 1, total risk-based and leverage ratio
        of 17.78%, 18.95% and 11.02%, respectively.

        LIQUIDITY

        The purpose of liquidity management is to ensure that there is
        sufficient cash flow to satisfy demands for credit, deposit withdrawals,
        and other corporate needs. Traditional sources of liquidity include
        asset maturities and growth in core deposits. Other sources of funds
        such as securities sold under agreements to repurchase, negotiable
        certificates of deposit and other liabilities are sources of liquidity
        which the Company has not significantly used. The Company had unused
        sources of liquidity in the form of unused federal funds lines totaling
        $3 million at June 30, 1998.

SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

At the Annual Meeting on April 7, 1998, the shareholders elected four of its
current directors to continue in office for a three-year term or until their
successors are duly elected and qualified. On April 7, 1998, shareholders of
State of Franklin Savings Bank (the "Bank") approved a Plan of Exchange ("Plan")
pursuant to which State of Franklin Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") acquired
all of the outstanding stock of the Bank as a result of the exchange of shares
between the shareholders of the Bank and the Company. After the share exchange,
the Bank survived as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and continues its
operations as State of Franklin Savings Bank. Under the terms of the Plan, each
one of the existing outstanding shares of the Bank's common stock was exchanged
for one of the Company's common shares so that each existing shareholder of the
Bank became a shareholder of the Company, owning the same number and percentage
of shares in the Company as the Bank. The shares of the Company issued in
connection with the transaction were not registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), in reliance upon the exemption from registration
set forth in Section 3(a)(12) of the Act.
