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 six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $1,357,000 and $94,000,
respectively and for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $651,000
and $28,000, 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",


<PAGE>   8

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. Management has not evaluated the impact on the Company's operations.

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.

As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2000

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.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

         The Company's total assets increased approximately $37 million during
the first six months of 2000 as a result of an increase in real estate secured
loans and commercial lending activity in the loan portfolio of Habersham Bank of
approximately $33 million, increases in mortgage loans held for sale of
approximately $9 million offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $6 million. The increase was funded primarily by increases in
borrowings primarily from Federal Home Loan Bank of approximately $17 million
and increases in the deposit portfolio at Habersham Bank of approximately $10
million.


<PAGE>   12

         Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, accruing loans 90
days past due, restructured loans and other real estate owned. Nonperforming
assets decreased $60,981 or 1.538% from December 31, 1999 to June 30, 2000. The
decrease for 2000 was primarily due to sales of other real estate owned of
$549,000 and a reduction of nonaccrual and restructured loans of $203,000 and
$35,000, respectively, offset by increases in 90 days past due loans and other
real estate of $771,000 and $77,000, 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 $220,000 was charged to expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Net
charge-offs for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000 totaled $292,000. At June
30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total
loans was .88% 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 $1,000,934 and $1,203,471 as of June
30, 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was not material.

         The Company's other real estate totaled $1,198,786 and $1,671,084 as of
June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The decrease was due to the
sale of three residential properties for approximately $549,000 offset by the
foreclosure of a single residential property totaling $77,000.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

         Total interest income for the second quarter of 2000 increased
$2,615,000 or 34.37%, when compared to the second quarter of 1999. Total
interest income for the first six months of 2000 increased $4,870,000 or 32.98%,
when compared to the first six months of 1999. Interest income from loans for
the second quarter of 2000 and for the first six months of 2000 increased
$2,561,000 or 38.15% and $4,899,000 or 38.11%, respectively, when compared to
the second quarter of 1999 and the first six months of 1999. These increases
were primarily due to increases in the loan portfolio of Habersham Bank and
increasing yields on loans. Total average loans increased approximately
$89,317,000 or 31.21% during the first six months of 2000 when compared to the
first six months of 1999. Average yields on loans increased by .46% to 9.46% for
the first six months of 2000 compared to average yields on loans of 9.00% for
the first six months of 1999.

         Interest income from investment securities increased $43,000 or 5.76%
for the second quarter of 2000 when compared to the second quarter of 1999.
Interest income from investment securities decreased $5,000 or .32% for the
first six months of 2000 when compared to the first six months of 1999. The
decrease in interest income from investments was primarily due to decreases in
the average investment portfolio of Habersham Bank for the first six months of
2000 of approximately $6 million, when compared to the first six months of 1999.
Average yields on investment securities increased by .58% to 5.81% for the first
six months of 2000 compared to 5.23% for the first six months of 1999.

         Total interest expense for the second quarter of 2000 increased
$2,089,000 or 54.94%, when compared to the second quarter of 1999. Total
interest expense for the first six months of 2000 increased $3,561,000 or
47.81%, when compared to the first six months of 1999.

         Interest expense on deposits for the second quarter increased
$1,147,000 or 39.62%, when compared to the second quarter of 1999. Interest
expense on deposits for the first six months of 2000 increased $1,918,000 or
32.61%, when compared to the first six months of 1999. This increase was due to
increases in the deposit portfolio and an increasing interest rate environment
for the second quarter and the first six months of 2000. Total average interest
bearing certificate of deposits increased approximately $47,587,000 offset by
decreases in Money Market and savings accounts of approximately $4,754,000 and
$516,000, respectively, during the first six months of 2000, when compared to
the first six months of 1999. Average rates on total interest bearing deposits
increased by .67% to 5.30% during the first six months of 2000 compared to 4.73%
for the first six months of 1999. Average rates for NOW and other deposit
accounts and certificates of deposit increased to 2.80% and 5.99%, respectively,
during the first six months of 2000 compared to 2.62% and 5.41%, respectively,
during the first six months of 1999.


<PAGE>   14

         Interest expense on short-term and other borrowings for the second
quarter of 2000 increased $942,000 or 103.86%, when compared to the second of
quarter of 1999. Interest expense on short-term and other borrowings for the
first six months of 2000 increased $1,643,000 or 104.85%, when compared to the
first six months of 1999. The increase is primarily due to an increase in
average borrowings of approximately $43,498,000 or 76.34%, compared to the first
six months of 1999. Average rates on borrowings increased by .89% to 6.39% for
the first six months of 2000 compared to 5.50% for the first six months of 1999.

         Net interest income increased approximately $526,000 or 13.82%, for the
second quarter of 2000 when compared to the second quarter of 1999 and increased
$1,309,000 or 17.89% for the first six months of 2000 when compared to the first
six months of 1999, as a result of the items discussed above.

         The net interest margin of the Company, net interest income divided by
average earning assets, was 3.87% for the first six months of 2000 compared to
4.12% for the first six months 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 $254,000 or 6.32% for the second quarter
of 2000 over the same period in 1999. Noninterest income increased $353,000 or
4.61% for the first six months of 2000 over the same period in 1999. The
increase in noninterest income for the second quarter and the first six months
was primarily due to increases in gain on sale of loans offset by decreases in
loan fee income, a decrease in travel service income resulting from the closing
of Appalachian, as well as, an increase in the unrealized loss on trading
securities recognized by the Company during the second quarter.

         Other income increased $155,000 or 55.36% for the second quarter of
2000 over the same period in 1999. This increase resulted primarily from
increases in the activity of BancMortgage Reinsurance LTD, The Advantage Group,
Inc., Advantage Insurers, and equity in earnings of CB Financial Corp. of
approximately $20,000, $54,000, $14,000, and $47,000, respectively. Other income
increased $308,000 or 56.00% for the first six months of 2000 over the same
period in 1999. This increase resulted primarily from increases in the activity
of BancMortgage Reinsurance LTD, The Advantage Group, Inc., Advantage Insurers,
and equity in earnings of CB Financial Corp. of approximately $119,000,
$110,000, $5,000, and $92,000, respectively, offset by decreases of
approximately $15,000 in other various income categories at Habersham Bank and
BancMortgage.

         Noninterest expenses increased $579,000 or 8.37% for the second quarter
of 2000 over the same period in 1999. Noninterest expenses increased $935,000 or
6.89% for the first six months of 2000 over the same period in 1999. The
increase in noninterest expense for the second quarter and for the first six
months of 2000 was primarily due to increased salary and employee benefits,
occupancy expenses, and computer service expenses offset by decreases in travel
service expenses resulting from the closing of Appalachian. 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.


<PAGE>   15

         General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2000
increased $229,000 or 17.86%, when compared to the second quarter of 1999. For
the second quarter of 2000, increases in other operating expenses, advertising
and public relations, and office supplies of approximately $190,000, $95,000,
and $35,000, respectively, were offset by reductions in outside service expense
and other real estate expense of $50,000 and $41,000, respectively. General and
administrative expenses for the first six months of 2000 increased approximately
$492,000 or 19.51%, when compared to the first six months of 1999. For the first
six months of 2000, increases in other operating expenses, outside service
expenses, and office supplies of approximately $506,000, $59,000, and $31,000,
respectively, were offset by reductions in advertising and public relations of
approximately $67,000 and reductions in other real estate expense of
approximately $38,000. These increases were primarily due to additional expenses
relating to the expanded operations of BancFinancial Services, the Fidelity
Group, and The Advantage Group, Inc.

         Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
was $302,000 and $142,000, respectively. Income tax expense for the first six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $516,000 and $194,000, respectively. The
effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was 28.91%
and 20.51%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 is due to a decrease in tax-exempt income.

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.

         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 June 30, 2000 and 1999 were 18.57% and
21.34%, respectively. Efforts are underway to bring the liquidity ratio at June
30, 2000 up to the minimum by concentrating upon local deposit growth.

         At June 30, 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 June 30, 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 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.


<PAGE>   17

         The interest rate sensitivity analysis, calculated as of June 30, 2000,
below has a three month negative gap of approximately $55 million (interest
bearing liabilities exceeding interest earning assets repricing within three
months).
