NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 2000 AND FOR THE
NINE MONTHS THEN ENDED IS UNAUDITED
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which include
the accounts of Greater Atlantic Financial Corp. ("the Company") and its wholly
owned subsidiary, Greater Atlantic Bank ("the Bank") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corp. ("GAMC"), have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions of Form 10-QSB and do not include all of the
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. All
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) have been made. The results of operations for the
three and nine months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations that may be expected for the year ended September 30, 2000
or any future periods.
(2) LOAN IMPAIRMENT AND LOAN LOSSES
In accordance with guidance in the Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards Nos. 114 and 118, the Company prepares a quarterly review to determine
the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and to identify and value impaired
loans. No impaired loans were identified by the Company at or during the nine
months ended June 30, 2000 or the year ended September 30, 1999.
An analysis of the change in the allowance for loan
losses follows:

(3) REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank qualifies as a Tier 1 institution and may make capital
distributions during a calendar year up to 100% of its net income to date plus
the amount that would reduce by one-half its surplus capital ratio at the
beginning of the calendar year. Any distributions in excess of that amount
requires prior notice to the OTS, with the opportunity for the OTS to object to
the distribution. A Tier 1 institution is defined as an institution that has, on
a pro forma basis after the proposed distribution, capital equal to or greater
than the OTS fully phased-in capital requirement and has not been deemed by the
OTS to be "in need of more than normal supervision". The Bank is currently
classified as a Tier 1 institution for these purposes. The Capital Distribution
Regulation requires that the institution provide the applicable OTS District
Director with a 30-day advance written notice of all proposed capital
distributions whether or not advance approval is required. The Bank did not pay
any dividends during the periods ended September 30, 1999 or June 30, 2000.

INFORMATION AS OF JUNE 30, 2000 AND FOR THE NINE MONTHS THEN ENDED IS UNAUDITED
Effective December 19, 1992, the President signed into law the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA). The "Prompt
Corrective Action" section of FDICIA created five categories of financial
institutions based on the adequacy of their regulatory capital level: well
capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized. Under FDICIA, a well
capitalized financial institution is one with Tier 1 leverage capital of 5%,
Tier 1 risk-based capital of 6% and total risk-based capital of 10%. At June 30,
2000 the Bank was classified as a well capitalized financial institution.
The following presents the Bank's capital position at
June 30, 2000:

(4) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of
common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. Basic earnings
per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of
securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. The following table
presents a reconciliation between the weighted average shares outstanding for
basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended
June 30, 2000 and 1999.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes presented elsewhere in this
report.
This report contains forward-looking statements. When used in this 10-QSB
report and in future filings by the company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), in the company's press releases or other public or
shareholder communications, and in oral statements made with the approval of an
authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are
expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project" or
similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among
other things, changes in economic conditions in the company's market area,
changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates,
demand for loans in the company's market area and competition, that could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated or projected. The company wishes to advise readers that the factors
listed above could affect the company's financial performance and could cause
the company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any
opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current
statements.
The company does not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to
publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of
such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated
events.
GENERAL
We are a savings and loan holding company which was originally organized in
June 1997. We conduct substantially all of our business through our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Greater Atlantic Bank, a federally-chartered savings bank, and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Greater Atlantic Mortgage Corporation. Greater Atlantic
Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system and it's deposits are
insured up to applicable limits by the Savings Association Insurance Fund of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We offer traditional banking services to
customers through five Greater Atlantic Bank branches located throughout the
greater Washington, D.C./Baltimore metropolitan area. We also originate mortgage
loans for sale in the secondary market through Greater Atlantic Mortgage
Corporation.
The profitability of the company, and more specifically, the profitability
of its primary subsidiary Greater Atlantic Bank, depends primarily on its net
interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest
income it earns on its loans and investment portfolio, and the interest it pays
on interest-bearing liabilities, which consists mainly of interest paid on
deposits and borrowings.
The company's profitability is also affected by the level of its
non-interest income and operating expenses. Non-interest income consists
primarily of gains on sales of loans and available-for-sale investments, service
charge fees and commissions earned by non-bank subsidiaries. Operating expenses
consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy-related expenses,
equipment and technology-related expenses and other general operating expenses.
At June 30, 2000 the company's total assets were $269.8 million, compared
to $198.8 million held at September 30, 1999, representing an increase of
35.71%. Both the bank's overall asset size and customer base increased during
the period and that growth is reflected in the consolidated statements of
financial condition and statements of operations. Net loans receivable at June
30, 2000 were $101.6 million, an increase of $28.8 million or 39.61% from the
$72.8 million held at September 30, 1999. The increase in loans consisted
primarily of real estate loans secured by first mortgages on residential
properties and consumer and commercial lines of credit secured by mortgages on
residential and commercial real estate. At June 30, 2000 investment securities
were $147.4 million, an increase of $39.2 million or 36.20% from the $108.2
million held at September 30, 1999.

<PAGE>
COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2000 AND JUNE 30, 1999
NET INCOME. For the three months ended June 30, 2000 the company incurred a
net loss of $327,000 or $0.11 per share compared to net income of $48,000 or
$0.06 per share for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The $375,000 decrease
in net income over the comparable period one year ago was primarily due to an
increase of $665,000 in compensation and employee benefits mainly because of an
increase in compensation associated with increased staffing in the branch
network and the hiring of additional administrative staff by the Bank.
NET INTEREST INCOME. An important source of our earnings is net interest
income, which is the difference between income earned on interest-earning
assets, such as loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities, and
interest paid on interest-bearing sources of funds such as deposits and
borrowings. The level of net interest income is determined primarily by the
relative average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities in combination with the yields earned and rates paid upon them. The
correlation between the repricing of interest rates on assets and on liabilities
also influences net interest income.
The following table presents a comparison of the components of interest
income and expense and net interest income.

=========== ========== =========== ==============
</TABLE>
Our growth in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2000
was due primarily to the increase in average interest-earning assets resulting
from our planned growth. Average interest-earning assets increased $121.6
million or 90.67% over the comparable period one-year ago and was coupled with a
41 basis point increase in net interest margin (net interest income divided by
average interest-earning assets). The increase in net interest margin resulted
from the significant increase in average earning assets coupled with an increase
in the yield associated with these assets.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2000
increased $2.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 1999
primarily as a result of an increase in the average outstanding balances in
loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities resulting in large
measure from the planned leveraging of our capital. The increase in interest
income from the loan portfolio for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to interest income earned for the 1999 period resulted from an increase of $63.5
million in the average balance of loans outstanding. That increase was coupled
with an increase in interest income from the investment and mortgage-backed
securities portfolios, due to an increase of $58.1 million in the average
outstanding balance, and a 148 basis point increase in the average yield earned
on the portfolio.
11
<PAGE>
INTEREST EXPENSE. The increase in interest expense for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to the 1999 period was principally the result of a
significant increase in average deposits and borrowed funds and an increase of
94 basis points in the average cost of funds. The increase in interest expense
on deposits was primarily due to an increase in average certificates of deposit
and NOW and money market accounts of $25.2 million, or 24.35%, from $109.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $134.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, with the average rate paid increasing from 5.16% for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 to 5.73% for the three months ended June
30, 2000. The average rate paid for deposits increased from 5.15% for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to 5.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
That increase in rate was coupled with an increase of $25.6 million in the
average outstanding balance of deposits.
The increase in interest expense on borrowings for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to the 1999 period was principally the result of a
significant increase in average borrowed funds of $83.6 million and an increase
of 167 basis points in cost of funds. Components attributable to the increase of
$1.4 million in interest expense were comprised of $1.0 million from an increase
in average volume and $400,000 from an increase in average cost.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The allowance for loan losses, which is
established through provisions for losses charged to expense, is increased by
recoveries on loans previously charged off and is reduced by charge-offs on
loans. Determining the proper reserve level or allowance involves management's
judgment based upon a review of factors, including the company's internal review
process which segments the loan portfolio into groups based on various risk
factors including the types of loans and asset classifications. Each segment is
then assigned a reserve percentage based upon the perceived risk in that
segment. Although management utilizes its best judgment in providing for
probable losses, there can be no assurance that the company will not have to
increase its provisions for loan losses in the future as a result of an adverse
market for real estate and economic conditions generally in the company's
primary market area, future increases in non-performing assets or for other
reasons which would adversely affect the company's results of operations.
There were no provision for loan losses during the three months ended June
30, 2000 compared to a provision of $1,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999.
NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income decreased $15,000 during the three
months ended June 30, 2000, over the comparable period one year ago, primarily
as a result of the increase in loss on sale of investment securities. That
increase was offset in part by gains on sale of loans as loan sales and margins
obtained by Greater Atlantic Mortgage, the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, were
higher than the same period one year ago. The level of gains during the three
months ended June 30, 2000 resulted from the company taking advantage of an
increase in loan origination volumes.

of noninterest income.

INCOME TAXES. The company uses the liability method of accounting for
income taxes as required. Under the liability method, deferred-tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities (i.e.,
temporary differences) and are measured at the enacted rates that will be in
effect when these differences reverse. The net deferred tax asset is reduced, if
necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits that,
based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Management has
provided a valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets, as they believe that
it is more likely than not that the entire amount of deferred tax assets will
not be realized. The company files a consolidated federal income tax return with
its subsidiaries and computes its income tax provision or benefit on a
consolidated basis. The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30,
2000 amounted to a benefit of $213,000 compared to a benefit of $144,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in benefit resulted from reduced
earnings of $444,000.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND JUNE 30, 1999
NET INCOME. For the nine months ended June 30, 2000, the Company incurred a
loss of $928,000 or $0.31 per share compared to net income of $471,000 or $0.57
per share for the nine months ended June 30, 1999. The $1.4 million decrease in
net income over the comparable period one year ago was primarily due to the
decline in income from mortgage-banking activities.
NET INTEREST INCOME. An important source of our earnings is net interest
income, which is the difference between income earned on interest-earning
assets, such as loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities, and
interest paid on interest-bearing sources of funds such as deposits and
borrowings. The level of net interest income is determined primarily by the
relative average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities in combination with the yields earned and rates paid upon them. The
correlation between the repricing of interest rates on assets and on liabilities
also influences net interest income.

============ ============ ================ ============
</TABLE>
Our growth in net interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2000
was due primarily to the increase in average interest-earning assets resulting
from our planned growth. Average interest-earning assets increased $113.4
million or 95.59% over the comparable period one-year ago and was coupled with a
10 basis point increase in net interest margin (net interest income divided by
average interest-earning assets). The increase in net interest margin resulted
from the significant increase in average earning assets coupled with an increase
in yield.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 2000
increased $6.4 million compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1999 primarily
as a result of an increase in the average outstanding balances in loans,
investment securities and mortgage-backed securities resulting in a large
measure from the planned leveraging of our capital. The increase in interest
income from the loan portfolio for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 compared
to interest income earned for the 1999 period resulted from an increase of $56.2
million in the average balance of loans outstanding. That increase was coupled
with an increase of $57.1 million in the average outstanding balance in the
investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios and was coupled with a 30
basis point increase in the average yield earned on these portfolios.
INTEREST EXPENSE. The increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowed
funds for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the 1999 period was
principally the result of a significant increase of $98.4 million in the average
outstanding balances in total deposits and borrowed funds, and an increase of 48
basis points in the average cost of funds. The increase in interest expense on
deposits was primarily due to an increase in average certificates of deposit and
NOW and money market accounts of $34.9 million, or 36.11%, from $96.5 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 to $131.4 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2000. The average rate we paid for deposits increased from 5.26%
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 to 5.46% for the nine months ended June
30, 2000. That increase in rate was coupled with an increase of $35.2 million in
the average outstanding balance of deposits.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses decreased from
$24,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 1999 to $8,000 during the nine
months ended June 30, 2000. The reduction in the provision was related to an
improvement in credit quality over that time period coupled with a decline in
non-performing loans. Not withstanding an improvement in overall credit quality,
net charge-offs increased from a charge of $2,000 during the nine months ended
June 30, 1999 to a charge of $28,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2000
as management took a more aggressive posture in assessing collectibility of
classified loans.
NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income decreased during the nine months
ended June 30, 2000, over the comparable period one year ago, primarily as a
result of the decrease in gain on sale of loans coupled with a decrease in
service fees on loans, both of which relate to a decreased volume of loan
originations and sales as a result of the company's mortgage banking activities.
The higher level of gains obtained during the nine months ended June 30, 1999
resulted from the company taking advantage of loan origination volumes coupled
with home loan refinancing and a favorable interest rate environment which
enabled the company to sell loans through Greater Atlantic Mortgage at a gain.
The following table presents a comparison of the components
of noninterest income.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2000, the mortgage company originated
$81.3 million in mortgage loans for sale compared to $270.3 million originated
in the comparable period one year ago. The $189.0 million decrease in loan
originations was largely attributable to increases in market interest rates
which reduced home mortgage refinancing. During the period, substantially all
loans originated were sold in the secondary market, in most cases with servicing
released. Loan sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 amounted to $82.9
million compared to sales of $287.9 million during the comparable period one
year ago. Sales of loans resulted in gains of $1.7 million and $5.1 million for
the nine months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Compensation and employee benefits decreased from the
comparable period one year ago mainly because of a decrease in commissions to
loan officers due to a decline in loan production and the related employee
benefit cost associated with the decrease in compensation. Net occupancy
expenses increased from the 1999 nine month period to the comparable 2000 period
due to the development of the branch network, as well as the acquisition of
additional administrative space to handle the current and planned growth of the
Bank. Professional services increased $360,000 from the 1999 nine month period
when compared to the same period in 2000. That cost increase resulted from the
testing of the Bank's internal computer system for compliance with the Year 2000
date change and the litigation cost associated with the lawsuit filed against
the mortgage banking subsidiary, the Bank and the Company.

temporary differences) and are measured at the enacted rates that will be in

2000 amounted to a benefit of $599,000 compared to a provision of $114,000 for
the nine months ended June 30, 1999 resulting from reduced earnings of $2.1
million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. The bank's primary sources of funds are
deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, mortgage-backed and
investment securities and borrowings. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition. The bank has continued to maintain the required
levels of liquid assets as defined by OTS regulations. This requirement of the
OTS, which may be changed at the direction of the OTS depending upon economic
conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and
short-term borrowings. The bank's currently required liquidity ratio is 4.00%.
At June 30, 2000, the bank's actual liquidity ratio was 9.63%. The bank manages
its liquidity position and demands for funding primarily by investing excess
funds in short-term investments and utilizing FHLB advance and reverse
repurchase agreements in periods when the bank's demands for liquidity exceed
funding from deposit inflows.
19
<PAGE>
The bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, securities
available-for-sale and trading securities. The levels of these assets are
dependent on the bank's operating, financing, lending and investing activities
during any given period. At June 30, 2000, cash and cash equivalents and
securities available-for-sale totaled $119.6 million, or 44.31% of total assets.
The primary investing activities of the bank are the origination of
residential one- to four-family loans, commercial real estate loans, real estate
construction and development loans, commercial borrowing and consumer loans and
the purchase of United States Treasury and agency securities, mortgage-backed
and mortgage-related securities and other investment securities. During the nine
months ended June 30, 2000, the bank's loan originations totaled $157.4 million.
Purchases of United States Treasury and agency securities, mortgage-backed and
mortgage related securities and other investment securities totaled $48.8
million for the nine months ended June 30, 2000.
The bank has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds
arises. At June 30, 2000, the bank had $75.6 million in advances outstanding
from the FHLB and had an additional overall borrowing capacity from the FHLB of
$5.2 million at that date. Depending on market conditions, the pricing of
deposit products and FHLB advances, the bank may continue to rely on FHLB
borrowings to fund asset growth.
At June 30, 2000, the bank had commitments to fund loans and unused
outstanding lines of credit, unused standby letters of credit and undisbursed
proceeds of construction mortgages totaling $43.7 million. The bank anticipates
that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan
origination commitments. Certificate accounts, including IRA and Keogh accounts,
which are scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30, 2000, totaled
$78.6 million. Based upon experience, management believes the majority of
maturing certificates of deposit will remain with the bank. In addition,
management of the bank believes that it can adjust the rates offered on
certificates of deposit to retain deposits in changing interest rate
environments. In the event that a significant portion of these deposits are not
retained by the bank, the bank would be able to utilize FHLB advances and
reverse repurchase agreements to fund deposit withdrawals, which would result in
an increase in interest expense to the extent that the average rate paid on such
borrowings exceeds the average rate paid on deposits of similar duration.
CHANGES IN LEVELS OF INTEREST RATES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT US. In general,
market risk is the sensitivity of income to variations in interest rates and
other relevant market rates or prices. The Company's market rate sensitive
instruments include interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
The Company enters into market rate sensitive instruments in connection with its
various business operations, particularly its mortgage banking activities. Loans
originated, and the related commitments to originate loans that will be sold,
represent market risk that is realized in a short period of time, generally two
or three months.
The Company's primary source of market risk exposure arises from changes in
United States interest rates and the effects thereof on mortgage prepayment and
closing behavior, as well as depositors' choices ("interest rate risk"). Changes
in these interest rates will result in changes in the Company's earnings and the
market value of its assets and liabilities. We expect to continue to realize
income from the differential or "spread" between the interest earned on loans,
securities and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on deposits,
borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities. That spread is affected by
the difference between the maturities and repricing characteristics of
interest-earnings assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Loan volume and
yields are affected by market interest rates on loans, and rising interest rates
generally are associated with fewer loan originations. Management expects that a
substantial portion of our assets will continue to be indexed to changes in
market interest rates and we intend to attract a greater proportion of
short-term liabilities which will help address our interest rate risk. The lag
in implementation of repricing terms on our adjustable-rate assets may result in
a decline in net interest income in a rising interest rate environment. There
can be no assurance that our interest rate risk will be minimized or eliminated.
Further, an increase in the general level of interest rates may adversely affect
the ability of certain borrowers to pay the interest on and principal of their
obligations. Accordingly, changes in levels of market interest rates, (primarily
increases in market interest rates), could materially adversely affect our
interest rate spread, asset quality, loan origination volume and overall
financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and
rates. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk
inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. The Company has little or
no risk related to trading accounts, commodities or foreign exchange.
Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure.
The primary objective in managing interest-rate risk is to limit, within
established guidelines, the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the
Company's net interest income and capital, while adjusting the Company's
asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that
structure. Management relies primarily on its asset-liability structure to
control interest rate risk. However, a sudden and substantial increase in
interest rates could adversely impact the Company's earnings, to the extent that
the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same
speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. There has been no significant
change in the Company's market risk exposure since September 30, 1999.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On July 28, 1999, First Guaranty Mortgage Corporation filed a complaint against
us and our subsidiary, Greater Atlantic Bank ("GAB") and its subsidiary, Greater
Atlantic Mortgage Corporation ("GAMC") in Circuit Court of Arlington, Virginia.
This complaint alleges breach of contract and related claims against these three
companies and employees of GAMC who formerly were employed at First Guaranty.
First Guaranty alleges that GAMC, GAB and GAFC wrongfully interfered with the
business of First Guaranty's Frederick, Maryland office by hiring the employees
of that office. First Guaranty is seeking approximately $5,000,000 in
compensatory and $20,000,000 in punitive damages.
We believe that the allegations against GAMC, GAB and GAFC are without merit. We
are vigorously defending these claims. Although we can give no assurance, we
believe that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not materially adversely
affect our financial condition.
