ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

(a)  Financial Statements of Business Acquired

As of March 24, 1995, First Liberty Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of First 
Liberty Financial Corp., acquired certain assets and assumed certain 
liabilities of three branch offices of First Union National Bank of Georgia 
located in Sylvania, Vidalia and Waycross, Georgia under the terms of a 
Purchase and Assumption Agreement dated October 4, 1994 (the "Agreement").

The accompanying audited Financial Statement on page 4 reflects the assets 
acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 24, 1995 under the Agreement.

The historical revenues and expenses directly related to the business acquired 
would principally be those revenues which could be earned by investing the cash
acquired and those expenses which would be incurred on the interest-bearing 
deposits acquired.  Additionally, some expenses would be incurred related to
the physical operating costs of the branches, primarily personnel-related 
costs.  It is impractical for the registrant to provide an audited statement of
operations, reflecting the historical results of operations of the business 
acquired (i.e. those related to the specific assets acquired and the specific
liabilities assumed), since (1) these assets and liabilities represented only a
portion of the operations of the branches acquired, which in themselves did
not constitute a seperate entity but instead were a portion of a large 
financial institution and (2) since such records, if any, exist only within the
large financial institution and the registrant has no contractual right of 
access to such records, if any exist.

The registrant has included the estimated direct revenues and expenses relating
to the specific assets and liabilities acquired and any estimated associated 
expenses in the pro forma financial information provided in Item 7(b).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors
First Liberty Financial Corp.

We have audited the accompanying Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities
Assumed under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement dated October 4, 1994
between First Liberty Bank (the Acquirer) and First Union National Bank of
Georgia (the Seller) (the "Financial Statement"), as of March 24, 1995.  This
Financial Statement is the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Financial Statement based on our
audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statement is free of material 
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall Financial Statement presentation.  We believe 
that our audit of the Financial Statement provides a reasonable basis for our 
opinion.

In our opinion, the Financial Statement referred to above presents fairly, in 
all material respects, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed under the 
Purchase and Assumption Agreement referred to above as of March 24, 1995, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(b)  Pro Forma Financial Information

As of March 24, 1995, First Liberty Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of First 
Liberty Financial Corp. acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities
of three branch offices of First Union National Bank of Georgia ("FUNB") 
located in Sylvania, Vidalia and Waycross, Georgia under the terms of a 
Purchase and Assumption Agreement dated October 4, 1994 (the "Agreement").


A pro forma statement of financial condition as of March 31, 1995 has not been
included herein as the acquisition has previously been reported in the 
statement of financial position included in the Form 10-Q of First Liberty 
Financial Corp. for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 filed on May 15, 1995.

The following pro forma combined condensed statements of income for the six
months ended March 31, 1995 and for the year ended September 30, 1994, assume 
the acquisition had been completed as of October 1, 1993.  The pro forma 
financial statements include the historical consolidated statements of income 
of First Liberty Financial Corp. ("FLFC") for such periods and estimated 
results of operations relating to the specific assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed of the three branch offices of FUNB (referred to as "FUNB" in the pro 
forma statements).

The pro forma combined condensed statement of income for the year ended 
September 30, 1994 also assumes the acquisition of Central Banking Company 
("CBC"), which was effective on December 2, 1994, had been completed as of 
October 1, 1993.

The pro forma information provided below may not necessarily be indicative of
future results.  The pro forma combined condensed statements of income are
unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated
financial statements including the notes thereto, of FLFC.

                  NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS 


(1)  The historical results of operations for FLFC for the six months ended 
March 31, 1995 include the results of operations of CBC from December 2, 1994 
to March 31, 1995.  The results of operations of CBC for the period from 
October 1, 1994 to December 1, 1994 are not material.

(2)  Actual FUNB earnings are not available for any period prior to the
acquisition on March 24, 1995.  Accordingly, pro forma earnings estimates are
based on actual results subsequent to the date of acquisition.

(3)  Reflects interest income from loan originations and investment purchases 
resulting from the cash proceeds received in connection with the FUNB 
acquisition at comparable rates to FLFC's existing earning assets. 

(4)  Reflects the amortization of the purchase accounting adjustment for FUNB
deposits.  The adjustments will be amortized over 2 years on a straight line
basis.

(5)  Reflects the amortization of intangible assets.  These adjustments will be
amortized on a straight line basis for 15 years for CBC and 10 years for FUNB.

(6)  Reflects the adjustment of income tax expense (benefit) of the pro forma
adjustments at an effective tax rate of 34%.

(7)  Reflects the amortization of the purchase accounting adjustment for CBC's
investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolio.  Such amounts will be
amortized using the net level yield method, over the lives of the related 
assets.

(8)  Reflects the reduction in interest income resulting from a decline in
federal funds sold for cash paid to CBC stockholders and cash paid for 
facilities improvements.  

(9)  Reflects the amortization of purchase accounting adjustments relating to
CBC's building and improvements.  These adjustments will be amortized over the
estimated life of the building and improvements (40 years).
