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 1999 consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1999.

    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 the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999. The Company has
consistently followed those policies in preparing this report.


3. Other Comprehensive 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, 2000 and 1999 was $706,000 and $66,000,
respectively.


4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

   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. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133", an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 133, as
amended, is now effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. The Company does not believe the provisions of SFAS No. 133
will have a significant impact on the financial statements upon adoption.

5. Segment Information

    The Company has two significant reportable segments: banking and mortgage
banking. The Company offers traditional banking services through Habersham Bank
and Security State Bank, which has operated as a division of Habersham Bank
since the consolidation of its charter with that of Habersham Bank effective
June 30, 1999. 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 accounting 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") and The Advantage Group, Inc. Habersham Bank
owns all of the outstanding stock of BancMortgage Financial Corp
("BancMortgage"), and Advantage Insurers, Inc. ("Advantage Insurers"). Effective
June 30, 1999, the Company consolidated the charters of Habersham Bank and
Security State Bank, which had until that date been a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. As a result of this consolidation, Security State Bank now
functions as a division of Habersham Bank. Effective September 30, 1999, the
Bank ceased operations of its travel agency subsidiary, Appalachian Travel
Service, Inc. ("Appalachian"). Net income of such business for all periods
presented is not significant. The Advantage Group, Inc. is a non-bank subsidiary
which engages in the business of providing marketing and advertising services.
Advantage Insurers, which began operations on March 31, 1997, offers a full line
of property, casualty, and life insurance products.

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

    BancMortgage was organized in 1996 as a full service mortgage and
construction lending company located in the northern Atlanta metropolitan area.
During 1997, BancMortgage acquired for approximately $60,000 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. Concurrent with this acquisition of The Prestwick
Mortgage Group, BancMortgage also formed BancFinancial Services Corporation, a
full-service wholesale mortgage lender specializing in sub-prime mortgage loans.
The Prestwick Mortgage Group and BancFinancial Services Corporation are based in
Virginia.

    During 1999, BancMortgage formed a wholly owned subsidiary, BancMortgage
Reinsurance LTD., a reinsurance company incorporated in Turks and Caicos. The
subsidiary provides insurance to companies offering private mortgage insurance.
Also during the fourth quarter of 1999, BancMortgage acquired the assets of
Fidelity Group. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase with a purchase
price of $390,031.

    Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause
actual results to differ materially from those in such statements. Facts that
could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking

services and perceived overall value of these products and services by users;
(5) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; (6) the impact of
Year 2000 and technological changes; (7) acquisitions; (8) the ability to

comply; (10) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may
be adopted by the regulatory agencies as well as the Financial Accounting
Standards Board; (11) changes in the Company's organization, compensation and
benefit plans; (12) the costs and effects of litigation and of unexpected or
adverse outcomes in such litigation; and (13) the success of the Company at
managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

statements are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any
forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date 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 $10 million during the
first quarter of 2000 as a result of an increase in real estate secured loans in
the loan portfolio of Habersham Bank of approximately $15 million offset by
decreases in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2 million and a
reduction in mortgage loans held for sale of approximately $3 million. The
increase was funded primarily by an increase in deposits of approximately $9
million.

    Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90 days
past due, restructured loans and other real estate owned. Nonperforming assets
decreased $383,000 or 9.58% from December 31, 1999 to March 31, 2000. The
decrease for 2000 was primarily due to the sale of other real estate by
Habersham Bank for approximately $450,000, a reduction of approximately $29,000
in nonaccrual loans, and a decrease of approximately $35,000 related to
restructured loans. These decreases were offset by increases in 90 days past due
loans of approximately $131,000.

    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
$120,000 was charged to



<PAGE>   10

expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. This provision for losses exceeded
the net charge-offs for the first quarter which totaled approximately $63,000.
At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the ratio of allowance for loan losses
to total loans was .97% and 1.00%, 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 $1,174,622 and $1,203,471 as of March 31,
2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. Impaired loans consist of loans on
nonaccrual status. The interest income recognized on such loans for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was not material.

    The Company's other real estate totaled $1,221,084 and $1,671,084 as of
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The decrease was due to the
sale of property.


Material Changes in Results of Operations

    Total interest income for the first quarter of 2000 increased $2,254,000 or
31.49%, when compared to the first quarter of 1999. Interest income from loans
increased $2,337,000 or 38.05% due to increases in the loan portfolio of
Habersham Bank. Loan yields increased by .43% to 9.41% for the first quarter of
2000 compared to 8.98% for the first quarter of 1999.

    Interest income from investment securities decreased $48,000 or 5.96% for
the first quarter of 2000 when compared to the first quarter of 1999. The
decrease in interest income from investments was primarily due to decreases in
the investment portfolio of Habersham Bank. Average yields on investment
securities increased by .52% to 5.75% for the first quarter of 2000 compared to
5.23% for the first quarter of 1999.

    Total interest expense for the first quarter of 2000 increased $1,472,000 or
40.37%, when compared to the first quarter of 1999. Interest expense on deposits
increased $772,000 or 25.85%, when compared to the first quarter of 1999 due to
changes in the mix of the deposit portfolio and a rising interest rate
environment. Total average deposits increased approximately $38 million or
14.91% when compared to the first quarter of 1999. Average certificates of
deposit increased approximately $44 million offset by decreases in average NOW
and other deposit accounts of approximately $5.5 million.

    Average rates on total deposits increased by .45% to 5.18% during the first
quarter of 2000 compared to 4.73% for the first quarter of 1999. Average rates
for NOW and other deposit accounts and certificates of deposit increased to
2.62% and 5.88%, respectively, during the first quarter of 2000 compared to
2.55% and 5.54%, respectively, during the first quarter of 1999.

    Interest expense on short-term and other borrowings increased $700,000 or
106.06% when compared to the first quarter of 1999 primarily due to an increase
in average borrowings of approximately $43 million or 86.23% when compared to
the first quarter of 1999. Average rates on borrowings increased by .57% to
5.86% for the first quarter of 2000 compared to 5.29% for the first quarter of
1999.

<PAGE>   11
    Net interest income increased approximately $782,000 or 22.27%, for the
first quarter of 2000 as a result of the items discussed above.

    The net interest margin of the Company, net interest income divided by
average earning assets, was 3.98% for the first quarter of 2000 compared to
4.05% for the first quarter of 1999. The decrease in net interest margin
resulted primarily from increases in interest rates paid on deposits and
borrowings and an increase in the average balances in borrowings offset by
increases in the yield on loans and securities.

    Noninterest income increased $83,000 or 2.28% for the first quarter of 2000
over the same period in 1999. This increase resulted primarily from increases in
activity at BancMortgage Reinsurance LTD, The Advantage Group, Inc. and income
generated from investment in CB Financial Corp. of approximately $99,000,
$56,000, and $45,000, respectively, offset by a decrease in travel service
income resulting from the closing of Appalachian as well as a decrease in the
unrealized loss on the trading securities recognized by the Company during the
quarter.


    Noninterest expenses increased $339,000 or 5.09% for the first quarter of
2000 over the same period in 1999. This increase was due to increased salary and
employee benefits, and occupancy expenses of approximately $268,000, and
$165,000, respectively, offset by decreases in computer expenses of
approximately $39,000. 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. Salary and employee benefits and occupancy expenses also
increased due to the acquisition of The Fidelity Group during the fourth quarter
of 1999. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $248,000
for the first quarter of 2000 over the same period in 1999 primarily due to
additional expenses relating to the expanded operations of BancFinancial
Services, the Fidelity Group, and The Advantage Group, Inc. This increase was
primarily related to increased other operating expenses, outside services, and
other real estate expenses of approximately $300,000, $48,000, and $4,000,
respectively, offset by reductions in advertising and public relations of
approximately $102,000 and $4,000 in office supplies.

    Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was
$214,000 and $52,000, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was 23.96% and 20.31%, respectively.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Liquidity management involves the matching of the cash flow requirements of
customers, either depositors withdrawing funds or borrowers needing loans, and
the ability of the Company to meet those requirements.

    The Company's liquidity program is designed and intended to provide guidance
in funding the credit and investment activities of the Company while at the same
time ensuring that the deposit obligations of the Company are met on a timely
basis. In order to permit active and timely management of assets and
liabilities, these accounts are monitored regularly in regard to volume, mix,
and maturity.

<PAGE>   12
    The Company's liquidity position depends 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 repayments on the Company's loans and interest on and
maturities of its investment securities. Sales of investment securities
available for sale represent another source of liquidity to the Company. The
Company may also utilize its cash and due from banks and federal funds sold to
meet liquidity requirements as needed.

    The Company also has the ability, on a short-term basis, to purchase federal
funds from other financial institutions up to $20,000,000. Presently, the
Company has made arrangements with commercial banks for short-term advances up
to $12,000,000 under a repurchase agreement line of credit, in addition to a
total available line of $133,000,000 which is available to the Company, subject
to available collateral, from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

    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%. The Bank's liquidity ratios at March 31, 2000 and 1999 were 19.18% and
24.35%, respectively. Efforts are underway to bring the liquidity ratio up to
the minimum by concentrating upon local deposit growth.

    At March 31, 2000, Habersham Bancorp and Habersham Bank were required to
have minimum Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 4% and 8%, respectively.
Additionally, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain a leverage ratio
(Tier 1 capital to average assets) of at least 4%. The Company and the Bank's
ratios at March 31, 2000 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 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



<PAGE>   13

environment, net interest income deteriorates. Conversely, if more liabilities
than assets are repriced while interest rates are rising, net interest income
deteriorates; if interest rates are falling, net interest income improves.

    The interest rate sensitivity analysis, calculated as of March 31, 2000,
below has a three month negative gap of approximately $66 million (interest
bearing liabilities exceeding interest earning assets repricing within three
months).
