HABERSHAM BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


1.       Basis of Presentation

         The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this
report are unaudited but reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of the interim periods reflected. Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim
periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the full year.

         The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should
be read in conjunction with the Company's 1998 consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

         Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods in order
to conform to classifications adopted in the current period.


2.       Accounting Policies

         Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described
in the notes to consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. The
Company has consistently followed those policies in preparing this report.


3.       Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income". This statement established standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires all items that are required
to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive
income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed in equal
prominence with the other financial statements. The term "comprehensive income"
is used in the statement to describe the total of all components of
comprehensive income including net income. "Other comprehensive income" refers
to revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that are included in comprehensive
income but excluded from earnings under current accounting standards.
Currently, other comprehensive income for the Company consists of items
previously recorded directly in equity under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". The Company adopted SFAS
No. 130 effective January 1, 1998. Comprehensive income for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was $342,000 and $441,000, respectively.


<PAGE>   7


         In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 is effective for financial
statements for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15,
1999. The Company does not believe the provisions of Statement 133 will have a
significant impact on the financial statements, as the Company does not have a
material amount of derivative instruments.

         In October 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for
Mortgage-backed Securities Retained After the Securitization of Mortgage Loans
Held for Sale by a Mortgage-Banking Enterprise", an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 65. SFAS No. 134 is effective for the first quarter beginning after
December 15, 1998. The provisions of SFAS No. 134 did not have a significant
impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.


4.       Segment Information

         The Company has two significant reportable segments: banking and
mortgage banking. The Company offers traditional banking services through the
two bank subsidiaries, Habersham Bank and Security State Bank. The Company
originates and sells loans in the secondary market through its mortgage banking
segment, BancMortgage Financial Corp.

         The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant account policies. The Company evaluates
performance based on net income of the respective segments.

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


HABERSHAM BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Organization

         Habersham Bancorp (the "Company") owns all of the outstanding stock of
Habersham Bank ("Habersham Bank"), Security State Bank ("Security Bank"), and
The Advantage Group, Inc. Habersham Bank owns all of the outstanding stock of
BancMortgage Financial Corp ("BancMortgage"), Appalachian Travel Service, Inc.
("Appalachian") and Advantage Insurers, Inc. ("Advantage Insurers"). Advantage
Insurers, which began operations March 31, 1997, offers a full line of
property, casualty and life insurance products. The Advantage Group, Inc. is a
non-bank subsidiary which administers the Company's Kids' Advantage banking
program and provides creative and printing services to other institutions. The
Advantage Group, Inc., Appalachian, and Advantage Insurers do not comprise a
significant portion of the financial position, results of operations or cash
flows of the Company for the three month period ended March 31, 1999.


         BancMortgage was organized in 1996 as a full service mortgage and
construction lending company located in the northern Atlanta Metropolitan area.
During the third quarter of 1997 BancMortgage acquired the assets and certain
liabilities of The Prestwick Mortgage Group, a national investment banking and
advisory firm specializing in the brokerage and evaluation of mortgage-related
assets for approximately $60,000. As a result of the acquisition, BancMortgage
does business as The Prestwick Mortgage Group and as BancFinancial Services
Corporation, a full-service wholesale mortgage lender specializing in sub-prime
mortgage loans, in the mid-Atlantic area.

         Management's discussion and analysis, which follows, relates primarily
to Habersham Bank, Security Bank and BancMortgage.

on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.


Material Changes in Financial Condition

         The Company's total assets increased approximately $7 million during
the first quarter of 1999 as a result of an increase in real estate secured
loans in the loan portfolios of Habersham Bank and Security State Bank of
approximately $8 million and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $3 million. These increases were offset by a reduction in
mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $2 million and a decrease in the
investment securities portfolio of approximately $1


<PAGE>   10

million. The increase was funded primarily by short-term borrowings of
approximately $8 million offset by Federal Home Loan Bank repayments of
approximately $2 million.

         Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90
days past due, restructured loans and other real estate owned. Nonperforming
assets increased $575,740 or 10.64% from December 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999.
The increase for 1999 was primarily due to the addition of nonaccrual real
estate mortgages of approximately $797,000 from BancMortgage operations as well
as the addition of approximately $146,000 of other real estate secured loans
offset by decreases in 90 days past due loans, other real estate and
restructured loans of approximately $326,000, $8,000, and $33,000,
respectively.

         Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made periodically to
maintain the allowance at an appropriate level based upon management's analysis
of risk in the loan portfolio. The balance of the allowance for loan losses is
in accordance with the internal calculation of the allowance for loan losses
which considers factors such as classified and past due loans as well as
portfolio growth and diversification. A provision for loan losses in the amount
of $231,000 was charged to expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This
provision for losses exceeded the net recoveries for the first quarter which
totaled $14,000. At March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the ratio of
allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.35% and 1.29%, respectively.
Management considers the current allowance for loan losses appropriate based
upon its analysis of the potential risk in the portfolio, although there can be
no assurance that the assumptions underlying such analysis will continue to be
correct.

         The Company had impaired loans of $2,952,165 and $2,009,258 as of
March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. Impaired loans consist of
loans on nonaccrual status. The interest income recognized on such loans for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was not material.

         The Company's other real estate totaled $1,531,870 and $1,539,900 as
of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. The decrease is due to
the sale of property.


Material Changes in Results of Operations

         Total interest income for the first quarter of 1999 increased $248,000
or 3.59%, when compared to the first quarter of 1998. Interest income from
loans increased $179,000 or 3.00% due to increases in the loan portfolios of
Habersham Bank, Security State Bank and BancMortgage offset by declining yields
on loans. Loan yields decreased by .58% to 8.98% for the first quarter of 1999
compared to yields of 9.56% for the first quarter of 1998.

         Interest income from investment securities increased $110,000 or
15.80% for the first quarter of 1999 when compared to the first quarter of
1998. The increase in interest income from investments was primarily due to
increases in the investment portfolios of Habersham Bank and Security State
Bank offset by declining yields on investment securities. Average yields on
investment securities decreased by .44% to 5.23% for the first quarter of 1999
compared to 5.67% for the first quarter of 1998.

         Total interest expense for the first quarter of 1999 increased
$157,000 or 4.50%, when compared to the first quarter of 1998. Interest expense
on deposits decreased $184,000 or 5.80%, when compared to the first quarter of
1998 due to changes in the mix of the deposit portfolio and a declining
interest rate environment. Total average deposits increased approximately $9
million or 3.62% when compared to the


<PAGE>   11

first quarter of 1998. Average NOW accounts and other deposit accounts
increased approximately $16 million offset by a decrease in average
certificates of deposit of approximately $7 million.

         Consolidated average rates on deposits decreased by .48% to 4.73%
during the first quarter of 1999 compared to 5.21% for the first quarter of
1998. Average rates for NOW and other deposit accounts and certificates of
deposit decreased to 2.55% and 5.54%, respectively during the first quarter of
1999 compared to 3.07% and 5.87%, respectively during the first quarter of
1998.

         Interest expense on short-term and other borrowings increased $341,000
or 106.90% when compared to the first quarter of 1998 primarily due to an
increase in average borrowings of approximately $27 million or 116.93% when
compared to the first quarter of 1998. Consolidated average rates on borrowings
decreased by .26% to 5.29% for the first quarter of 1999 compared to 5.55% for
the first quarter of 1998.

         Net interest income increased approximately $91,000 or 2.66%, for the
first quarter of 1999 as a result of the items discussed above.

         The net interest margin of the Company, the net interest income
divided by average earning assets, was 4.05% for the first quarter of 1999 as
compared to 4.37% for the first quarter of 1998. The decrease in net interest
margin resulted primarily from a decrease in the yield on loans and a decrease
in the yield on investment securities offset by an increase in the average
balances in other borrowings.

         Other income increased $944,000 or 35.07% for the first quarter of
1999 over the same period in 1998. This increase was due primarily to increases
in gains on sale of loans, loan fees, service charges on deposit accounts and
non interest income from travel and insurance affiliates of approximately
$1,095,000, $222,000, $25,000, and $72,000, respectively, offset by an
unrealized holding loss of $531,930 on the Company's trading securities, which
are subject to changes in market values.

         Other expenses increased $1,270,000 or 23.56% for the first quarter of
1999 over the same period in 1998. This increase was due to increased salary
and employee benefits, occupancy expenses, data processing expenses and other
expenses of approximately $954,000, $73,000, $31,000, and $212,000,
respectively. Salary and employee benefits increased primarily due to the
production volume generated by BancMortgage which compensates staff by
commissions that are directly related to production volume, as well as annual
salary adjustments. The increase in other expenses is primarily due to an
increase in advertising expense and public relations activities, office
supplies, and other expenses of approximately $91,000, $51,000, and $103,000,
respectively.

         Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998
was $52,000 and $120,000, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was 20.31% and 21.31%, respectively. The
effective tax rate decreased due to an increase in tax exempt security income
as a percentage of income before income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Liquidity management involves the matching of cash flow requirements
of customers, either depositors withdrawing funds or borrowers needing loans,
and the ability of the Company to meet those requirements. In order to permit
active and timely management of assets and liabilities, these accounts are
monitored regularly in regard to volume, mix and maturity. The Company's
liquidity position depends


<PAGE>   12

primarily upon the liquidity of its assets relative to its need to respond to
short-term demand for funds caused by withdrawals from deposit accounts and
loan funding commitments. Primary sources of liquidity are scheduled payments
on the Company's loans and interest on and maturities of its investments.

         Habersham Bank's liquidity policy requires that the ratio of cash and
certain short-term investments to net withdrawable deposit accounts be at least
20% and Security Bank's liquidity policy requires a minimum of 25%. The
following table lists the liquidity ratios for the Banks at March 31, 1999.

<TABLE>
                         <S>                      <C>

                         Security Bank            24.12%
</TABLE>


         Habersham Bank has established various sources of funds to be used in
the management of its liquidity position. Federal funds agreement guidelines
totaling $14.5 million have been provided by Compass Bank, The Bankers Bank and
SunTrust Bank of Atlanta. Repurchase agreement guidelines are collateral based.
Also established is a borrowing arrangement for advances with a total available
credit line of $90 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Security
Bank has also established various sources of funds to be used in the management
of its liquidity position. Federal Funds agreement guidelines totaling $2.3
million have been provided by Compass Bank and The Bankers Bank. Also
established is a borrowing arrangement for advances with a total available
credit line of $3 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.

         Security Bank's liquidity ratio, which did not meet the minimum
liquidity policy ratio, was primarily impacted by the non-renewal of certain
deposits which were matched by offsetting assets in marketable securities.
Efforts are underway to bring the liquidity ratio up to the minimum by
concentrating upon local deposit growth.

         At March 31, 1999, Habersham Bancorp, Habersham Bank, and Security
Bank were required to have minimum Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 4% and
8%, respectively. Additionally, the Company and the Banks are required to
maintain a leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to average assets) of at least 4%.
The Company and the Banks' ratios at March 31, 1999 follow:

Interest Rate Sensitivity

         The objective of asset and liability management is to manage and
measure the level and volatility of earnings and capital by controlling
interest rate risk. To accomplish this objective, management makes use of
interest rate and income simulation models to perform current and dynamic
projections of interest income and equity, as well as more traditional asset
and liability management methods.

         The Company's historical performance in various economic climates is
considered by management in making long-term asset and liability decisions for
the Company.

         The relative interest rate sensitivity of the Company's assets and
liabilities indicates the extent to which the Company's net interest income may
be affected by interest rate movements. The Company's ability to reprice assets
and liabilities in


<PAGE>   13

the same dollar amounts and at the same time minimizes interest rate risks. One
method of measuring the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income
is to measure, in a number of time frames, the interest sensitivity gap, by
subtracting interest sensitive liabilities from interest sensitive assets, as
reflected in the following table. Such interest sensitivity gap represents the
risk, or opportunity, in repricing. If more assets than liabilities are
repriced at a given time in a rising rate environment, net interest income
improves; in a declining rate environment, net interest income deteriorates.
Conversely, if more liabilities than assets are repriced while interest rates
are rising, net interest income deteriorates; if interest rate are falling, net
interest income improves.

         The interest rate sensitivity analysis, calculated as of March 31,
1999, below has a three month negative gap of approximately $63 million
(interest bearing liabilities exceeding interest earning assets repricing
within three months).

YEAR 2000

         The Company recognizes that there is a business risk in computerized
systems as the next century approaches. The Company has defined Year 2000
readiness as computerized systems used by the Company having the ability to: 1)
correctly process dates before and after the year 2000, 2) recognize the year
2000 as a leap year, 3) accept and display dates unambiguously, and 4) process
logic dates that are used for "non-date functions."

         The Company has developed an ongoing Action Plan designed to ensure
that its operational and financial systems will not be adversely affected by
failures due to processing errors arising from calculations using the Year 2000
date or other operations that are date sensitive. The Action Plan consists of
five phases: Awareness, Assessment, Remediation, Validation and Implementation.
The Company has formed a Year 2000 committee assigned to this project and the
Boards of Directors and senior management of the Company and the Banks have
established Year 2000 compliance as a strategic initiative. The Year 2000
Committee meets on a monthly basis to monitor testing progress as well as all
other aspects of the Year 2000 issue.

Assessment Phase - In the Assessment Phase, the Company inventoried all
hardware, software and non-computerized systems. Each inventory item has been
prioritized as to its Year 2000 compliance. We completed this phase during the
first quarter of 1998.

Awareness Phase - A Customer Awareness Committee was formed to develop a plan
for communication tools to be utilized throughout 1999 in an effort to ensure
that our customers are aware of the impact that Year 2000 issues may have on
their individual businesses and also to assure our customers that we are making
every effort to ensure the stability and continued service to our customers
into the next millennium. Communications tools used by the Customer Awareness
Committee include informational brochures, newsletters, seminars, toll free
telephone numbers, and contact personnel identified for each subsidiary.

Remediation and Validation Phase - As a part of the remediation phase, a Year
2000 Contingency Committee developed a business resumption contingency plan as
well as a business remediation contingency plan. This Year 2000 Contingency
Plan has been completed and approved by the Boards of Directors. Validation of
the Plan should be complete by June 30, 1999. The Plan addresses worst case
scenarios such as total or partial failure of our mainframe operating system as
well as other software that plays an integral part in the day to day operations
of our Company. The Plan details the resources and procedures necessary to
manually process transactions in the event the core systems do not function on
January 1, 2000. Alternative methods of providing service in the event of other
disasters, such as a power failure, are addressed in the plan also. In
addition, the Company has made every attempt to address external risks,
primarily credit and liquidity, associated with our major customers and
businesses. The way that these material customers approach and comply with the
Year 2000 will have a potential significant impact on the Company. In an effort
to identify and manage the risks posed by those customers, the Company has
identified material customers; evaluated their Year 2000 preparedness through
questionnaires and interviews; assessed their Year 2000 risk to the Company;
and implemented appropriate controls to manage and mitigate their Year 2000
risk to the Company. Currently, there are no significant customers which are
rated as "high" Year 2000 risk and which the Company believes present a
significant risk of loss. This Year 2000 Contingency Plan has been completed
and approved by the Boards of Directors. Validation of the Plan should be
complete by June 30, 1999.


<PAGE>   15

Implementation Phase - Testing of our systems was substantially complete as of
December 31, 1998. All testing appears to have been successful. However, the
Company's information technology ("IT") systems are comprised of third party
application and operating systems used in accounting functions related to
lending and deposit activities. The IT systems also consist of hardware, both
including main frame computer equipment and personal computers. Since we are
not the manufacturer of the products and systems on which we rely, we have also
been working with our third party vendors to determine whether there are any
outstanding Year 2000 problems. All systems identified as mission critical have
been certified as Year 2000 compliant by vendors providing the software
applications or hardware. Non-IT systems, such as door security and vault time
locks which may be date sensitive, have been identified as well and have been
included in the testing program of the Company. These efforts are scheduled to
be completed well in advance of December 31, 1999.

Cost - At December 31, 1998, costs incurred for Year 2000 related upgrades of
computer equipment and software totaled approximately $15,000 and are included
in other operating expenses. A Year 2000 budget of less than $100,000 has been
established for systems that must be upgraded or remediated during 1999.
Approximately $2,000 of directly related Year 2000 expense was incurred during
the first quarter of 1999.

Liquidity - In an attempt to ensure that the Banks have sufficient liquidity to
cover potential cash withdrawals prior to the Year 2000, the Year 2000
Contingency Plan requires monitoring of cash levels, communication with
depositors regarding Year 2000 readiness, the availability of FDIC deposit
insurance and ensuring that the Banks have available lines of credit to meet
immediate cash requirements.

    Based on information currently available, while management anticipates
there could be isolated and intermittent disruptions of various services, there
is no expectations of extensive system failures that would have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.
