Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB may contain certain forward-looking
statements consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition,
results of operations and business of the Company that are subject to various
factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these
estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic
conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate
values, and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, or
guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; and other economic,
competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting the
Company's operations, pricing, products and services.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999

The Bank has experienced significant growth during the first six months of 2000.
At June 30, total assets have increased by $31.5 million or 42.7% to $105.1
million. Net loans have grown by $28.6 million or 48.9% to $87.1 million while
total customer deposits have increased by $28.3 million or 51.4% to $83.3
million. While asset quality continues to be high the Bank did incur net loan
charge-offs of $27,000 during the six months. There were no non-accrual or
restructured loans at the end of the period.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and
1999

Net Loss. The Bank generated a net loss of $115,000 or $.08 per share for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, representing an improvement over the net loss
of $192,000 or $.13 per share generated during the three months ending June
30,1999. The improvement has resulted principally from the Bank's growth, as
both net interest income and non-interest income have increased substantially
during the current period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30,
2000 was $998,000 as compared with $529,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1999, with the increase resulting principally from the higher level of
interest-earning assets during the current period. Interest-earning assets
averaged $88.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared
with $40.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 1999. Substantially
all of this increase resulted from growth in loans, which have higher yields
than other types of interest-earning assets.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $212,000 and
$195,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The
allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2000 represented 1.34% of loans
outstanding with no non-accrual or restructured loans outstanding at that date.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased from $169,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 to $225,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000,
an increase of $56,000. Income from mortgage operations totaled $141,000 for the
three months ended 1999, declining to $70,000 for the same period of the current
year principally as a result of higher interest rates and a reduced demand for
mortgage loans. However, this decrease was more than offset by increased service
charges on deposit accounts, which grew from $27,000 to $123,000, and by other
non-interest income of $32,000 earned during the current period.

                                       7

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense was $1.1 million and $695,000,
respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. This increase
of $405,000 is attributable to the Bank's rapid growth, to the larger numbers of
personnel and branches in operation during the current period, and to increased
occupancy costs associated with the Bank's permanent headquarters facility that
was occupied during December of 1999 and the opening of the Wal-Mart Superstore
branch in Monroe and the Marshville branch.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Bank made no provision for income taxes during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, as potential future tax benefits
arising from operating losses incurred have been offset by increases to the
valuation allowance associated with deferred tax assets. It is expected that as
the Bank becomes profitable and begins to demonstrate a sustained pattern of
profitability, the valuation allowance will be adjusted accordingly with the
benefit reflected in net income.


Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and
1999

Net Loss. The Bank generated a net loss of $333,000 or $.22 per share for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, representing a significant improvement over the
net loss of $652,000 or $.44 per share generated during the first six months of
1999. The improvement has resulted principally from the Bank's growth, as both
net interest income and non-interest income have increased substantially during
the current period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the first six months of 2000 was
$1.9 million as compared with $836,000 during the first six months of 1999, with
the increase resulting principally from the higher level of interest-earning
assets during the current period. Interest-earning assets averaged $82.8 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared with $32.2 million during
the first six months of 1999.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $401,000 and
$449,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The
allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2000 represented 1.34% of loans
outstanding with no non-accrual or restructured loans outstanding at that date.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased from $233,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 to $364,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000,
an increase of $131,000. Income from mortgage operations totaled $195,000 for
the six months ended 1999, declining to $106,000 for the same period of the
current year principally as a result of higher interest rates and a reduced
demand for mortgage loans. However, this decrease was more than offset by
increased service charges on deposit accounts, which grew from $38,000 to
$214,000, and by other non-interest income of $43,000 earned during the current
period.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense was $2.2 million and $1.3
million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. This
increase of $888,000 is attributable to the Bank's rapid growth, to the larger
numbers of personnel and branches in operation during the current period, and to
increased occupancy costs associated with the Bank's permanent headquarters
facility that was occupied during December of 1999 and the opening of the branch
at the Wal-Mart Superstore in Monroe and completion of the Indian Trail Branch
on Highway 74.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Bank made no provision for income taxes during
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, as potential future tax benefits
arising from

operating losses incurred have been offset by increases to the valuation
allowance associated with deferred tax assets. It is expected that as the Bank
becomes profitable and begins to demonstrate a sustained pattern of
profitability, the valuation allowance will be adjusted accordingly with the
benefit reflected in net income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The objective of the Company's liquidity management is to ensure the
availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all financial commitments and to
capitalize on opportunities for expansion. Liquidity management addresses the
Bank's ability to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity,
and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.

The primary sources of internally generated funds are principal and interest
payments on loans receivable and cash flows generated from operations. External
sources of funds consist of increases in deposits, advances from the Federal
Home Loan Bank, and Federal funds purchased.

At June 30, 2000, liquid assets comprised 13% of total assets. Management
believes that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its anticipated
future loan commitments as well as other liquidity needs.
