                   OCONEE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)      Basis of Presentation

         The  financial  statements  include the  accounts  of Oconee  Financial
         Corporation (the "Corporation") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oconee
         State Bank (the  "Bank").  All  significant  intercompany  accounts and
         transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

         The consolidated  financial  information  furnished herein reflects all
         adjustments  which are,  in the  opinion of  management,  necessary  to
         present a fair  statement of the results of  operations  and  financial
         position for the periods covered herein.  All such adjustments are of a
         normal recurring nature.

(2)      Cash and Cash Equivalents

         For presentation in the financial statements, cash and cash equivalents
         include cash on hand and amounts due from banks.

(3)      Comprehensive Income

         In 1997, the Financial  Accounting and Standards Board issued Statement
         of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
         Income" (SFAS 130").  SFAS 130 established  standards for the reporting
         and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
         general-purpose  financial statements.  The Bank has elected to present
         comprehensive  income in a separate statement of comprehensive  income.
         Accumulated other comprehensive  income is solely related to the net of
         tax effect of unrealized  gains and losses on securities  available for
         sale.

(4)      Holding Company Formation

         On  December  15,  1998,  the  Bank's  shareholders  approved a Plan of
         Reorganization  and  Agreement of Merger (the  "Plan"),  providing  for
         conversion of the Bank to a holding  company form of operation  whereby
         the  Corporation  became the parent of the Bank.  The  holding  company
         conversion was completed  successfully  on January 1, 1999. As a result
         of the conversion, each share of Bank stock was exchanged for one share
         of Oconee Financial Corporation stock.

(5)               Implementation of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
         133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities",
         (SFAS No.  133") during the third  quarter of 1999.  As allowed by SFAS
         No. 133, an entity may transfer any held to maturity  security into the
         available for sale or trading  category  without  calling into question
         the entity's intent to hold other securities to maturity in the future.
         The  result  of the  transfer  of held to  maturity  securities  to the
         available  for  sale  category  was to  increase  stockholders'  equity
         approximately   $22,000  which   represented  the  net  effect  of  the
         unrealized  gain  associated  with  the  held to  maturity  investments
         transferred. There were no other financial statement effects associated
         with the implementation of SFAS No. 133.

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

                For Each of the Three Months in the Periods Ended
                             March 31, 2000 and 1999


Forward-Looking Statement

         This discussion contains  forward-looking  statements under the private
Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 that involve risk and  uncertainties.
Although  the  Corporation   believes  that  the   assumptions   underlying  the
forward-looking  statements  contained in the discussion are reasonable,  any of
the  assumptions  could be inaccurate,  and therefore,  no assurance can be made
that any of the  forward-looking  statements included in this discussion will be
accurate.  Factors  that  could  cause  actual  results to differ  from  results
discussed  in  forward-looking  statements  include,  but  are not  limited  to:
economic  conditions  (both  generally and in the markets where the  Corporation
operates); competition from other providers of financial services offered by the
Corporation;  government regulations and legislation; changes in interest rates;
material  unforeseen  changes in the  financial  stability  and liquidity of the
Corporation's credit customers,  all of which are difficult to predict and which
may be beyond the control of the  Corporation.  The  Corporation  undertakes  no
obligation to revise  forward-looking  statements  to reflect  events or changes
after the date of this discussion or to reflect the occurrence of  unanticipated
events.

Financial Condition

         Total  assets  at March  31,  2000 were  $155,145,175,  representing  a
$3,006,607   (1.98%)  increase  from  December  31,  1999.   Deposits  increased
$3,595,754 (2.63%) from December 31, 1999. Loans increased  $6,012,628  (6.44%).
The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2000 totaled  $1,522,641  compared to
the December 31, 1999 total of $1,469,126,  representing 1.53% of total loans at
March  31,  2000,  compared  to  1.57%  at  December  31,  1999.  Cash  and cash
equivalents decreased $4,533,979 from December 31, 1999.

         The total of nonperforming  assets,  which includes  nonaccruing loans,
other real estate owned, repossessed collateral and loans for which payments are
more than 90 days past due were  $117,019  at March 31,  2000,  representing  an
increase of $38,611 (49.24%) from December 31, 1999. There were no related party
loans which were considered nonperforming at March 31, 2000.

         The  Corporation's  subsidiary  bank was most recently  examined by its
primary  regulatory  authority in October of 1999. There were no recommendations
by the  regulatory  authority  that in  management's  opinion will have material
effects on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Item 2.
                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

                    For the Three Months in the Period Ended
                             March 31, 2000 and 1999

Results of Operations

         Net  interest  income  increased  $299,843  (20.62%) in the first three
months of 2000  compared  to the same period for 1999.  Interest  income for the
first three months of 2000 was $3,076,429,  representing an increase of $631,710
(25.84%)  over the same  period in 1999.  Interest  expense  for the first three
months of 2000 increased  $331,867 (33.50%) compared to the same period in 1999.
The  increase  in net  interest  income  during the first  three  months of 2000
compared to the same period in 1999 is primarily attributable to the increase in
the volume of loans.

         The Bank analyzes its allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis.  As
of March 31, 2000,  that  analysis  indicated an  allowance  reserve  surplus of
$1,036,732.  Due to this surplus,  the Bank has provided the budgeted  provision
for 2000.  It is  management's  belief  that the  allowance  for loan  losses is
adequate to absorb possible losses in the portfolio.

         Other expenses for the three months of 2000 increased $192,758 (17.37%)
compared  to the first  three  months in 1999.  The net  increase  is  primarily
attributable  to additional  salary and benefits  expense as a result of opening
two new branches during 1999.

Year 2000 Compliance

         The Bank did not experience any material  disruptions in its operations
or activities as a result of the so-called "Year 2000" problem. Nor did the Bank
incur material expenses in correcting perceived or suspected Year 2000 problems.
In addition,  the Bank is not aware that any of its  suppliers or customers  has
experienced any material disruptions in their operations or activities.

         The  Bank  does not  expect  to  encounter  any  such  problems  in the
foreseeable future, although it continues to monitor its computer operations for
signs or indications  of such problems and will do so through future  identified
critical  dates in 2000 and 2001. The Bank has developed  contingency  plans for
back up  systems  and  business  functions  should  any  technical  problems  be
encountered.  Specific guidelines have been established in case critical systems
or communications  interruptions  occur.  Assignments have been established,  as
well as  step-by-step  instructions  should any  system or process  malfunction.
Based on information  currently available,  management does not believe that the
Bank will incur significant additional costs for Year 2000 issues.
