                   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)      Net Earnings Per Common Share
         -----------------------------

         Earnings per common share are based on the weighted  average  number of
         common  shares  outstanding  during  the  period  while the  effects of
         potential common shares  outstanding  during the period are included in
         diluted  earnings per share.  The Corporation  had no potential  common
         shares outstanding during 2000 and 1999.

(4)      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.

Forward-looking Statement

         This discussion contains  forward-looking  statements under the private

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 June 30,  2000  were  $160,688,768,  representing  an
$8,550,200   (5.62%)  increase  from  December  31,  1999.   Deposits  increased
$7,679,781 (5.63%) from December 31, 1999. Loans increased $23,116,111 (24.77%).
The increase in loan volume is due primarily to and increase in loans to finance
commercial  real estate.  The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2000 totaled
$1,548,709  compared to the December 31, 1999 total of $1,469,126,  representing
1.33% of total loans at June 30,  2000,  compared to 1.57% at December 31, 1999.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $11,607,211 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  $109,140  at June 30,  2000,  representing  an
increase of $30,732 (39.19%) from December 31, 1999. There were no related party
loans which were considered nonperforming at June 30, 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.

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

                     For the Six Months in the Period Ended
                             June 30, 2000 and 1999

Results of Operations

         Net interest income increased $706,221 (23.21%) in the first six months
of 2000 compared to the same period for 1999.  Interest income for the first six
months of 2000 was $6,488,995,  representing an increase of $1,481,390  (29.58%)
over the same period in 1999.  Interest expense for the first six months of 2000
increased $775,169 (39.44%) compared to the same period in 1999. The increase in
net  interest  income  during the first six months of 2000  compared to the same
period in 1999 is primarily attributable to the increase in the volume of loans,
as well as a 100 basis point increase in the prime lending rate during the first
six months of 2000.

         The Bank analyzes its allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis.  As
of June 30,  2000,  that  analysis  indicated an  allowance  reserve  surplus of
$1,019,951.  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 six months of 2000 increased  $427,375  (19.02%)
compared  to the  first  six  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.

Liquidity

         The Corporation  must maintain,  on a daily basis,  sufficient funds to
cover the withdrawals from depositors' accounts and to supply new borrowers with
funds. To meet these obligations,  the Corporation keeps cash on hand, maintains
account balances with its  correspondent  banks, and purchases and sells federal
funds and other  short-term  investments.  Asset and  liability  maturities  are
monitored in an attempt to match these to meet liquidity needs. It is the policy
of the Corporation to monitor its liquidity to meet regulatory  requirements and
their local funding requirements.

         The Corporation  maintains  relationships with correspondent banks that
can provide funds to it on short notice, if needed.  Presently,  the Corporation
has arrangements with a commercial bank for short term unsecured  advances up to
$4,000,000.   Additional  liquidity  is  provided  to  the  Corporation  through
available Federal Home Loan Bank advances up to $22,800,000.

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.
