Cornelia, GA 30531

Security Bancorp, Inc.

Canton, GA 30114

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         You have requested our opinion with respect to certain federal income
tax consequences of the proposed merger of Security Bancorp, Inc. a Georgia
corporation ("SBI") with and into Habersham Bancorp, a Georgia corporation
("HB").  For purposes of rendering this opinion, we have reviewed the Agreement
and Plan of Merger between SBI and HB, dated as of January 16, 1995 (the
"Merger Agreement"), the Form S-4 Registration Statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 1995 (the "S- 4"), the
certificates attached hereto, and such other documents as we have considered
appropriate.  Unless otherwise indicated, terms used in this opinion have the
same meaning as in the S-4.

         For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that the Merger will be
consummated at the Effective Time pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Merger Agreement.  We have assumed that the portion of the Maximum
Cash Value paid pursuant to the Merger plus the value of any shares of SBI
Common Stock sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of (other than pursuant to a
shareholder's statutory right to dissent) prior to and in contemplation of the
Merger does not exceed more than fifty percent (50%) of the value of all shares
of Common Stock of SBI outstanding as of the Effective Date plus the value of
any shares of SBI Common Stock sold, redeemed or disposed of prior to and in
contemplation of the Merger.  Also, we have assumed that there is no plan or
intention on the part of the shareholders of SBI to sell, exchange or otherwise
dispose of a number of shares of HB Common Stock received in the Merger that
would reduce SBI shareholders' ownership of HB Common Stock to a number of
shares having a value, as of the Effective Date, of less than fifty percent
(50%) of the value of all of the formerly outstanding Common Stock of SBI as of
the Effective Date plus the value of any shares of SBI Common Stock sold,
redeemed or disposed of prior to and in contemplation of the Merger.

         In addition, we have assumed with your permission that the facts
certified to us in writing by SBI and HB, which are set forth in the
certificates attached hereto, apply as of the Effective

Time.  Copies of such certificates are attached hereto and incorporated herein
by reference.  We have neither investigated nor verified the accuracy of any of
the facts which have been certified to us, upon which this opinion is based.

         This opinion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations, Internal
Revenue Service rulings, judicial decisions, and other applicable authority,
all as in effect on the date of this opinion.  The legal authorities on which
this opinion is based may be changed at any time.  Any such changes may be
retroactively applied and could modify the opinions expressed herein.  This
opinion does not address any tax considerations under foreign, state, or local
laws, or the tax considerations to certain SBI shareholders in light of their
particular circumstances, including persons who are not United States persons,
dealers in securities, tax-exempt entities, shareholders who do not hold SBI
Common Stock as "capital assets" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the
Code, and shareholders who acquired their shares of SBI Common Stock pursuant
to the exercise of SBI options or otherwise as compensation.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that
the Merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a)(1)(A) of the Code, and the following federal income tax consequences
will result:

                 (a)      Under Section 354 of the Code, no gain or loss will
         be recognized for federal income tax purposes by SBI shareholders upon
         the exchange of their shares of SBI Common stock for HB Common Stock.

                 (b)      Under Section 358 of the Code, the basis of the
         shares of HB Common Stock to be received by SBI shareholders will be
         the same as the basis of SBI Common Stock surrendered in exchange
         therefor.

                 (c)      Under Section 1223 of the Code, the holding period of
         the HB Common Stock to be received by each SBI shareholder will
         include the period during which the shares of SBI Common Stock
         surrendered in exchange therefor had been held, provided such shares
         were held by such shareholders as a capital asset at the Effective
         Time.

                 (d)      The payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of
         HB Common Stock will be treated as if the fractional shares were
         issued as part of the exchange and then redeemed by HB.  These cash
         payments will be treated as having been received as distributions in
         full payment for the fractional shares of HB Common Stock redeemed as
         provided in Section 302(a) of the Code.  See Revenue Ruling 66-365,
         1966-2 C.B. 116.  Each affected SBI shareholder should consult such
         shareholder's own tax advisor for the tax effect of such redemption
         (i.e. exchange treatment or dividend).

                 (e)      SBI shareholders who elect to receive cash in
         exchange for their shares of SBI Common Stock or who receive cash
         pursuant to their statutory right to dissent will be treated as having
         received such payment in redemption, as provided in Section 302(a) of
         the Code, of shares of HB Common Stock which would have otherwise been
         received by such SBI shareholders.  See
                           Commissioner v. Clark, 489 U.S. 726 (1989).  Each
         affected SBI shareholder should consult such shareholder's own tax
         advisor for the tax effect of such redemption (i.e. exchange treatment
         or dividend).

                 (f)      Under Sections 361 and 1032 of the Code, no gain or
         loss will be recognized for federal income tax purposes by SBI or HB
         as a consequence of the Merger except for deferred gain or loss
         recognized pursuant to Treasury Regulations issued under Section 1502
         of the Internal Revenue Code.
   
         This opinion is being rendered solely to the parties to whom it is
addressed and may be relied upon by them and their respective shareholders.
This opinion may not be relied upon by any other party without the express
written permission of our Firm.  We hereby consent to the reference to our Firm
in, and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to, any registration
statement or offering statement made with respect to the Merger.

                                 CERTIFICATE OF
                               HABERSHAM BANCORP


                 In connection with the merger of Security Bancorp, Inc.
("SBI") with and into Habersham Bancorp ("HB") with HB as the surviving entity,
and in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between SBI and
HB dated as of January 16, 1995 (the "Agreement"), David D. Stovall and Edward
D. Ariail, President and Vice President/Corporate Secretary, respectively, of
HB, make the following certifications.  Unless otherwise indicated, terms used
in this certificate have the same meaning as in the Form S-4 Registration
Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March
2, 1995, as amended.

                 1.       The undersigned are the President and Vice
President/Corporate Secretary, respectively, of HB, a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Georgia, and in such capacities have
access to the information contained herein.

                 2.       To the best knowledge and belief of such officers,
the following facts and representations made on behalf of the management of HB,
presented to Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy in connection with rendering
the Tax Opinion referred to in the Agreement, are on the date hereof true,
correct, and complete.

                 3.       The Merger is expected to (i) expand HB's market
share by providing it with a presence in Cherokee County, Georgia, which is a
region of strategic importance to HB, and (ii) strengthen the franchise and
thereby make a long-term contribution to earnings per share.

                 4.       The payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of
HB Common Stock is solely for the purpose of avoiding the expense and
inconvenience to HB of issuing fractional shares and is not separately
bargained-for consideration.  The total cash consideration that will be paid in
the Merger to the SBI shareholders in lieu of issuing fractional shares of HB
stock will not exceed one percent (1%) of the total consideration that will be
issued in the Merger to the SBI shareholders in exchange for their shares of
SBI stock.  The fractional share interests of each SBI shareholder will be
aggregated, and no SBI shareholder will receive cash in an amount equal to or
greater than the value of one full share of HB stock.

                 5.       The fair market value of the HB Common Stock and
cash, if any, received by the shareholders of SBI will be, in each instance,
approximately equal to the fair market value of the SBI Common Stock
surrendered in exchange therefor.

                 6.       HB has no present plan or intention to reacquire any
of its Common Stock issued in the Merger.  HB knows of no plan or intention by
any shareholders of SBI to sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of any of the
shares of HB Common Stock received by them in the Merger.  In addition, HB is
not aware of any transfers of SBI Common Stock by any of SBI's shareholders
prior to the Effective Time of the Merger which were made in contemplation
    


                                      -1-
<PAGE>   5
   
of the Merger, nor is HB aware of SBI having redeemed any stock or of having
made any distribution with respect to any of its stock in anticipation of, or
as part of a plan involving, the acquisition of SBI by HB other than pursuant
to shareholder statutory dissenter's rights.

                 7.       Following the Effective Time, it is HB's plan that it
will either (i) continue the historic business of SBI's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Security State Bank ("SSB"), or (ii) use, as a going concern, a
significant portion of SSB's business assets.  HB has no plan or intention to
sell or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of SBI acquired in the
transaction except for dispositions made in the ordinary course of business, or
transfers to a corporation controlled by HB.  For purposes of the foregoing, HB
is considered to control a corporation in which it holds at least eighty
percent (80%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock
entitled to vote and at least eighty percent (80%) of the total number of all
other classes of stock.

                 8.       HB has paid or will pay expenses it incurred in
connection with the Merger.  HB did not and will not pay the expenses of SBI or
any shareholder of SBI incurred in connection with the Merger.

                 9.       There is no indebtedness outstanding between SBI and
HB, which was issued, acquired, or will be settled at a discount.

                 10.      Not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the fair
market value of HB's total assets consist of stock and securities of any one
issuer, and not more than fifty percent (50%) of the fair market value of its
total assets consists of stock and securities of five or fewer issuers.  For
purposes of the preceding sentence, (a) a corporation's total assets exclude
cash, cash items (including accounts receivable and cash equivalents), and
United States government securities, (b) a corporation's total assets exclude
stock and securities issued by any subsidiary at least fifty percent (50%) of
the voting power or fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value of the
stock of which is owned by the corporation, but the corporation is treated as
owning directly a ratable share (based on the percentage of the fair market
value of the subsidiary's stock owned by the corporation) of the assets owned
by any such subsidiary, and (c) all corporations that are members of the same
"controlled group" within the meaning of section 1563(a) of the Code are
treated as a single issuer.

                 11.      The fair market value of the assets of SBI
transferred to HB equalled or exceeded the sum of the liabilities assumed by HB
plus the amount of the liabilities, if any, to which the transferred assets are
subject.

                 12.      None of the compensation received by any
shareholder-employees of SBI was or will be separate consideration for, or
allocable to, any of their shares of SBI Common Stock; none of the shares of HB
Common Stock or cash, if any,  received by any shareholder-employees of SBI is
separate consideration for, or allocable to, any employment agreement; and the
compensation paid to any shareholder-employees of SBI is or will be for
services actually rendered and was or will be commensurate with amounts paid to
third parties bargaining at arm's length for similar services.

                 13.      The liabilities of SBI, if any, assumed by HB and the
liabilities to which the transferred assets of SBI are subject were incurred by
SBI in the ordinary course of its business.

                 14.      The transfer of assets pursuant to the Merger
Agreement does not constitute a transfer in a "title 11 or similar case" as
such term is defined in Section 368(a)(3) of the Code.

                 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have hereunto set their
hands as of this 18th day of April, 1995.

                                 CERTIFICATE OF
                             SECURITY BANCORP, INC.


                 In connection with the merger of Security Bancorp, Inc.
("SBI") with and into Habersham Bancorp ("HB") with HB as the surviving entity,
and in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and between SBI and
HB dated as of January 16, 1995 (the "Agreement"), C. Mickle Moye, President,
of SBI, makes the following certifications.  Unless otherwise indicated, terms
used in this certificate have the same meaning as in the Form S-4 Registration
Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March
2, 1995, as amended.

                 1.       The undersigned is the President and Chief Financial
Officer of SBI, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the
State of Georgia, and in such capacities has access to the information
contained herein.

                 2.       To the best knowledge and belief of such officer, the
following facts and representations made on behalf of the management of SBI,
presented to Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy in connection with rendering
the Tax Opinion referred to in the Agreement, are on the date hereof, true,
correct, and complete.

                 3.       SBI has paid or will pay the expenses it incurred in
connection with the Merger.  SBI did not and will not pay the expenses of HB or
any shareholder of SBI incurred in connection with the Merger.

                 4.       There is no indebtedness outstanding between SBI and
HB which was issued, acquired or will be settled at a discount.

                 5.       Not more than 25 percent of the fair market value of
SBI's total assets consist of stock and securities of any one issuer, and not
more than 50 percent of the fair market value of its total assets consists of
stock and securities of five or fewer issuers.  For purposes of the preceding
sentence, (a) a corporation's total assets exclude cash, cash items (including
accounts receivable and cash equivalents), and United States government
securities, (b) a corporation's total assets exclude stock and securities
issued by any subsidiary at least 50 percent of the voting power or 50 percent
of the total fair market value of the stock of which is owned by the
corporation, but the corporation is treated as owning directly a ratable share
(based on the percentage of the fair market value of the subsidiary's stock
owned by the corporation) of the assets owned by any such subsidiary, and (c)
all corporations that are members of the same "controlled group" within the
meaning of section 1563(a) of the Code are treated as a single issuer.

                 6.       SBI is not aware of any transfers of SBI Common Stock
by any of its shareholders prior to the Effective Date of the Merger which were
made in contemplation of the Merger, nor did SBI redeem any of its stock in
anticipation of, or as part of a plan involving, the acquisition of SBI by HB
other than pursuant to shareholder statutory dissenter's rights.
    
<PAGE>   8
   
                 7.       No holders of SBI Common Stock who receive shares of
HB Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, plan or intend to sell,
exchange, or otherwise dispose of a number of shares of HB Common Stock
received pursuant to the Merger such that the ownership of HB Common Stock by
the holders of SBI Common Stock would be reduced to a number of shares having a
value, as of the Effective Time, which was less than fifty percent (50%) of the
fair market value of the outstanding SBI Common Stock as of the Effective Time.
For purposes hereof, shares of SBI Common Stock exchanged for cash or other
property, surrendered by dissenters, or exchanged for cash in lieu of HB
fractional shares, shall be deemed to be outstanding SBI Common Stock as of the
Effective Time.  Moreover, all shares of SBI Common Stock and shares of HB
Common Stock held by SBI shareholders and otherwise sold, redeemed or disposed
of prior or subsequent to the Merger have been considered in making this
representation.

                 8.       The liabilities of SBI, if any, assumed by HB and the
liabilities to which the transferred assets of SBI are subject were incurred by
SBI in the ordinary course of its business.

                 9.       The fair market value of assets of SBI transferred to
HB equalled or exceeded the sum of the liabilities assumed by HB plus the
amount of liabilities, if any, to which the transferred assets were subject.

                 10.      The fair market value of the HB Common Stock and
cash, if any, received by each SBI shareholder approximately equalled the fair
market value of the SBI Common Stock surrendered in the Merger.

                 11.      The transfer of assets pursuant to the Merger
Agreement does not constitute a transfer in a "title 11 or similar case" as
such term is defined in Section 368(a)(3) of the Code.

                 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has hereunto set his hand
as of this 20th day of April, 1995.
