                   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.

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

          For the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 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 September 30, 2000 were  $169,596,734,  representing  a
$17,458,166  (11.48%)  increase  from  December  31,  1999.  Deposits  increased
$2,250,435 (1.65%) from December 31, 1999. Loans increased $27,653,381 (29.63%).
The increase in loan volume is due primarily to an increase  in loans to finance
commercial  real estate.  The  allowance  for loan losses at September  30, 2000
totaled  $1,700,696  compared  to the  December  31,  1999 total of  $1,469,126,
representing  1.41% of total loans at September  30, 2000,  compared to 1.57% at
December 31, 1999. Cash and cash equivalents  decreased $3,428,983 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 $260,398 at September 30, 2000,  representing an
increase  of  $181,990  (232.11%)  from  December  31,  1999.  This  increase is
primarily attributable to a $194,194 increase in nonaccruing loans and a $13,397
decrease in repossessed collateral. There were no related party loans which were
considered nonperforming at September 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Net interest  income  increased  $1,142,408  (24.42%) in the first nine
months of 2000  compared  to the same period for 1999.  Interest  income for the
first  nine  months  of  2000  was  $10,161,826,  representing  an  increase  of
$2,421,266 (31.28%) over the same period in 1999. Interest expense for the first
nine months of 2000 increased $1,278,858 (41.77%) compared to the same period in
1999.  The increase in net interest  income during the first nine 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 nine months of 2000.  The increase in interest  expense is
primarily  attributable  to interest on a Federal  Home Loan Bank advance in the
amount of $86,664  that the Bank secured  during 2000,  as well as growth in the
Bank's deposits and an increase in the interest rates paid on deposits.

         The Bank analyzes its allowance for loan losses on a monthly basis. Due
to  unbudgeted  loan growth,  the Bank has provided  $107,400  over the budgeted
provision  expense  during the first  nine  months of 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 nine months of 2000 increased  $644,718 (19.17%)
compared  to the  first  nine  months in 1999.  The net  increase  is  primarily
attributable  to additional  salary and benefits  expense as a result of opening
a loan production office in July 1999 and a new branch in January 2000.

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. As of September 30,
2000, the Corporation had $13,300,000 in advances  outstanding  from the Federal
Home Loan Bank.  This advance  matures  August 25, 2003, and carries an interest
rate of 6.34%.  It is secured by the Bank's  loans on 1 to 4 family  residential
properties.
