                    HARDWICK HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The  accompanying   unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
accounts of Hardwick  Holding  Company (HHC) and its wholly owned  subsidiaries,
Hardwick  Bank and Trust  Company  (HBT) and First  National  Bank of  Northwest
Georgia  (FNBNWG),  collectively  referred to as the "Company".  All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those  estimates,  although,  in the opinion of
management, such differences would not be significant.

In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
adjustments) necessary for fair statement of the consolidated financial position
and the  results of  operations  of the Company  for the  interim  periods.  The
results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.

(2)  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

The Company is a participant in financial  instruments  with  off-balance  sheet
risk.  These  instruments  are entered into in the normal  course of business to
meet the  financing  needs of its  customers  and to reduce  the  Company's  own
exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial  instruments include
commitments to extend credit and standby  letters of credit.  These  instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess
of the amount  recognized  in the  consolidated  balance  sheets.  The  contract
amounts of these  instruments  reflect the extent of involvement the Company has
in particular classes of financial instruments.

The  Company's  exposure  to credit loss in the event of  nonperformance  by the
counterparties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and
standby  letters of credit is  represented  by the  contractual  amount of these
instruments.  The Company uses the same credit and collateral policies in making
commitments  and  conditional  obligations  as  it  does  for  on-balance  sheet
instruments.

HBT and  FNBNWG  grant  various  types of loans  and  financial  instruments  to
customers within their respective  market areas (primarily  Northwest  Georgia).
Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio,  a significant portion of
the Company's  loans  originates  from customers that are directly or indirectly
related to the carpet industry. Notably,  approximately 40% of the work force in
the  Company's  market area are  employed by companies  directly  related to the
carpet  industry.  Adverse  economic  trends in the carpet industry could impair
these customers'  ability to repay their obligations and unfavorably  affect the
results of operations of the Company.

                                       8

Commitments  to extend  credit are  agreements  to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments
generally  have fixed  expiration  dates or other  termination  clauses  and may
require  payment of a fee. Since many of the  commitments are expected to expire
without  being  drawn  upon,  the total  commitment  amounts do not  necessarily
represent  future  cash  requirements.  Total  commitments  to extend  credit at
September 30, 1999, were approximately $75,007,000. HBT and FNBNWG evaluate each
customer's  creditworthiness  on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral,
if  deemed  necessary  by HBT  and  FNBNWG,  is  based  on  management's  credit
evaluation of the  customers.  Collateral  held varies but may include  accounts
receivable,  inventory, property, plant and equipment,  residential real estate,
and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional  commitments  issued by HBT and FNBNWG
to guarantee the  performance of a customer to a third party.  Those  guarantees
are  primarily  issued to support  public and  private  borrowing  arrangements,
including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions.  The credit
risk  involved  in  issuing  letters of credit is  essentially  the same as that
involved in extending loan  facilities to customers.  The collateral  varies but
may include accounts receivable,  inventory,  property,  plant and equipment and
residential  real estate for those  commitments  for which  collateral is deemed
necessary.   The  Company  had   irrevocable   standby   letters  of  credit  of
approximately $3,720,000 outstanding at September 30, 1999.

(3)  RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,  ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING  ACTIVITIES.  The Statement  establishes  accounting and
reporting  standards  requiring  that  every  derivative  instrument  (including
certain derivative  instruments  embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance  sheet as either an asset or liability  measured at its fair value.  The
Statement  requires  that changes in the  derivative's  fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special
accounting  for  qualifying  hedges  allows a  derivative's  gains and losses to
offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement,  and requires
that a company must formally document,  designate,  and assess the effectiveness
of transactions that receive hedge accounting.

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".  This Statement  changed the effective date for SFAS No. 133
to all  fiscal  quarters  of all fiscal  years  beginning  after June 15,  2000.
Earlier   application   is   encouraged.   Statement   133   cannot  be  applied
retroactively.  Statement 133 must be applied to (a) derivative  instruments and

                                       9
<PAGE>

(b)  certain  derivative  instruments  embedded  in hybrid  contracts  that were
issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December 31, 1998 (and, at the
company's election, before January 1, 1999).

The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting  Statement 133 on its
financial  statements  and has not  determined  the  timing  of or method of its
adoption of Statement 133. However,  the Statement could increase  volatility in
earnings and other comprehensive income.

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,"  which is  effective  for the  fiscal  quarter
beginning  after  December  15,  1998.  This  statement   amends  FASB  No.  65,
"Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking  Activities," to require that after the
securitization  of mortgage  loans held for sale, an entity  engaged in mortgage
banking activities  classify the resulting  mortgage-backed  securities or other
retained  interests  based  on its  ability  and  intent  to sell or hold  those
investments. As the Company does not securitize its mortgage loans held for sale
or hold mortgage loans for sale, this statement does not apply.

(4)  CONTINGENCIES

The Company is involved in litigation and other legal proceedings arising in the
course of its normal business activities. Although the ultimate outcome of these
matters cannot be determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that,
when  resolved,  none of these  matters  will have a  significant  effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.


(5)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are  calculated  on the basis of basic and dilutive  weighted
average  number of shares  outstanding.  The basic  weighted  average  number of
shares  outstanding was 4,138,779 and 3,972,284 for the nine-month period ending
September 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  The diluted weighted average number
of shares  outstanding  was 4,156,830 and  4,050,168 for the  nine-month  period
ending September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

(6)  SEGMENT INFORMATION


SFAS  No.  131,  "Disclosures  About  Segments  of  an  Enterprise  and  Related
Information,"   requires  disclosure  of  certain  information  related  to  the
Company's reportable operating segments. The reportable segments were determined
based on management's  internal reporting  approach,  which is separated by each
subsidiary.  The reportable segments are comprised of the two banks owned by the
holding  company,  as well as the holding company  itself.  Each bank provides a
wide array of banking  services to consumer and  commercial  customers and earns
interest  income from loans made to  customers  and  investments  in  securities
available for sale. Each bank also  recognizes  certain fees related to deposit,
lending,  and other services  provided to customers.  The holding  company earns


                                       10
<PAGE>

income by providing loans to insiders,  receiving  dividends from the two banks,
and by providing management services to the banks. The holding company incurs no
interest  expense,  but does incur certain  administrative  expenses  related to
operations.  No transactions  with a single customer  contributed 10% or more to
the Company's  total revenue.  The accounting  policies for each segment are the
same as those used by the Company.  The segment results include certain overhead
allocations and intercompany transactions that were recorded at estimated market
prices.  All  intercompany  transactions  have been  eliminated to determine the
consolidated  balances.  The  results  for the  three  reportable  segments  are
included in the following tables (in thousands):

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL POSITION
- ------------------

Total  assets   decreased  by  approximately   $18,647,000  from   approximately
$536,920,000  at December 31, 1998, to  approximately  $518,273,000 at September
30, 1999. The principal  fluctuations  were in federal funds sold,  cash and due
from  banks,  investment  securities  available-for-sale,  net  loans  and other
assets.   Federal   funds  sold   decreased   approximately   $41,302,000   from
approximately  $43,648,000 at December 31, 1998 to  approximately  $2,346,000 at
September  30,  1999,  a decrease  of 94.6%.  Cash and due from banks  decreased
approximately $3,106,000 from approximately  $25,305,000 at December 31, 1998 to
approximately  $22,199,000  at  September  30,  1999,  a decrease of 12.3%.  The
decreases  were  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  investment  securities
available-for-sale of approximately $12,405,000 from approximately  $144,169,000
at December 31, 1998 to  approximately  $156,574,000  at September  30, 1999, an
increase  of  8.6%.   Net  loans   increased   by   approximately   $11,676,000,
approximately  3.9%,  from  approximately  $298,478,000 at December 31, 1998, to
approximately  $310,154,000  at September  30, 1999.  Other assets  increased by
approximately  $1,897,000 from approximately  $1,881,000 at December 31, 1998 to
approximately  $3,778,000 at September 30, 1999. HHC's cash and cash equivalents
reflected a decrease of  approximately  $44,408,000  or 64.4% for the nine-month
period ended  September  30, 1999.  This decrease is due to the pick up of a new
account during  December 1998 with large balances  deposited at one of the banks
along with the  accounts  for  property  tax  payments  at both banks  which are
subsequently withdrawn during January of each year.

Savings and other interest-bearing deposit accounts remained relatively the same
while non-interest bearing accounts decreased approximately  $7,809,000 or 7.65%
when compared with December 31, 1998,  from  approximately  $102,027,000.  It is
management's  opinion  that  HHC  maintains   competitive  deposit  rates  while
exercising  prudent  strategies in competing  with local  institutions.  Average
rates paid on deposits for the current period were  approximately  4.0% compared
with approximately 4.6% for the same period in the preceding year.

At September 30, 1999,  HHC's  financial  position  continued to reflect  strong
equity and liquidity,  with an equity to assets ratio of 10.6%. At September 30,
1999,  67% of HHC's  loans were in real estate  loans  (including  mortgage  and
construction loans), 18% in commercial loans (including  agricultural loans), 7%
in consumer loans  (including  credit cards) and other loans were 8%. HHC's loan
to deposit ratio was  approximately  73% at September  30, 1999,  and 46% of all
deposits were invested in time certificates of deposit.

In the event of higher than anticipated requirements related to loan commitments
or deposit  withdrawals,  HHC's bank  subsidiaries  maintain federal funds lines
with regional  banks.  Also,  the bank  subsidiaries  of the Company have become
members  of the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank and have  credit  lines  with it.  At
September 30, 1999  approximately  $11,100,000 was outstanding under the Federal
Home Loan Bank lines of credit.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

For the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998:

Net Interest Income

Net interest  income after  provision for loan losses for the three month period
ended September 30, 1999 was  approximately  $5,646,000 which was  approximately
$193,000  or 3.5%  greater  than the  $5,453,000  for the same  period  the year
before.  There were no loan loss  provisions  in the current  three months ended
September 30, 1999, compared with approximately  $125,000 for the same period in
the previous year. Total interest income decreased by approximately  $253,000 or
2.7% while total interest expense decreased  approximately $446,000 or 11.1% for
the three-month period ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the three months
ended in the previous year.

Yields on  interest-bearing  assets averaged 7.8%, down  approximately  53 basis
points  from the same period the year  before.  Total  average  interest-bearing
assets  increased by  approximately  $18,157,000  or 4.0% for the current period
when compared with the three-months  ended September 30, 1998. Average loans for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased approximately  $3,209,000 or
1.1% more than the average loans for the three months ended  September 30, 1998.
The average  yield on loans for the three  months ended  September  30, 1999 was
8.9%,  which reflects a decrease of  approximately 79 basis points when compared
with the three months ended September 30, 1998.

There were  approximately  $1,383,000 in nonaccrual  loans at September 30, 1999
and accruing loans contractually past due ninety days or more were approximately
$489,000 at  September  30, 1999.  This  compares to  approximately  $900,000 in
nonaccrual and approximately  $499,000 in loans past due ninety days or more and
still  accruing at December  31,  1998.  The  increase  in  nonaccrual  loans of
approximately  $483,000  from  December  31,  1998  is an  indication  that  the
customers of the Company have slowed in making the payments on their obligations
therefore requiring the credits to be placed in a nonaccrual status.  Management
is of the opinionthat loan loss allowances are adequate to cover any losses,  if
such nonaccrual loans should migrate to a charged off status.



                                       16
<PAGE>

Interest  accruals on  nonaccrual  loans are  recorded  only when they are fully
current  with  respect to interest and  principal  and when,  in the judgment of
management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal
and  interest.  Interest  income on  nonaccrual  loans,  which  would  have been
reported on an accrual  basis,  amounted  to  approximately  $27,000  during the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999.

Rates paid on  interest-bearing  liabilities  averaged 4.0% for the three months
ended  September  30, 1999,  down  approximately  60 basis points from the three
months ended  September  30, 1998.  Management's  liability  pricing  strategies
include  competitive  deposit rates with increased  awareness of cash flow needs
within the balance  sheet.  Management  anticipates  rates to increase  slightly
during the remainder of the year.

Noninterest Income

Total other noninterest income decreased  approximately  $15,000 or 1.2% for the
three months ended  September  30, 1999, as compared with the three months ended
September  30, 1998.  The  decrease is primarily  due to a decrease in net gains
from sales of investment securities available-for-sale of approximately $147,000
while being  partially  offset by an increase in service  charges on deposits of
approximately $26,000 and an increase in other miscellaneous  noninterest income
of approximately  $106,000 which was mostly from the increase in credit card fee
income.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense increased by approximately  $116,000,  or 2.5% for the
three months ended  September  30, 1999, as compared to the same period ended in
the  preceding   year.   The  increase  is  due   principally  to  increases  of
approximately  $179,000 in salary and employee  benefits  while being  partially
offset by a decrease in net occupancy expense of approximately $31,000 and other
noninterest expense of approximately $32,000.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rates  reported for the three months ended  September 30, 1999
and 1998 were 31.1% and 32.1%, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998:

Net Interest Income

Net interest  income after  provision  for loan losses for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1999 was approximately $16,302,000,  which was approximately
$690,000  or 4.4%  greater  than the  $15,612,000  for the same  period the year
before. Total interest income decreased by approximately  $687,000 or 2.5% while
total interest expense decreased  approximately  $1,102,000 or 9.2% for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the  nine-months  ended in
the previous  year.  There were  approximately  $150,000 in provisions  for loan
losses for the current  period as compared  with  approximately  $425,000 in the
nine month period ended  September  30, 1998.  Management is of the opinion that
the provisions  made against  operations  are adequate to cover incrured  losses
that may be charged off in future  periods and from assets that have been placed
in a nonperforming status within the current period.

Yields  on  interest-bearing  assets  averaged  7.8%  for  the  current  period,
approximately  60 basis  points  less the same  period  the year  before.  Total
average  interest-bearing assets increased by approximately  $24,046,000 or 5.4%
for the current  period when compared  with the nine months ended  September 30,
1998.  Average  loans for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999  decreased
approximately $6,362,000 or 2.1% less than the average loans for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1998.  The average yield on loans for the nine months ended
September  30, 1999 was 9.0%,  approximately  60 basis points less than the nine
months ended September 30, 1998.

Interest  accruals on  nonaccrual  loans are  recorded  only when they are fully
current  with  respect to interest and  principal  and when,  in the judgment of
management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal
and  interest.  Interest  income on  nonaccrual  loans,  which  would  have been
reported on an accrual basis,  amounted to approximately $75,000 during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1999.  Nonaccrual  loan interest  collected and
reported in the nine month period  ended  September  30, 1999 was  approximately
$4,000.

Rates paid on  interest-bearing  liabilities  averaged 4.0% for the  nine-months
ended September 30, 1999 compared with 4.6% for the nine-months  ended September
30,  1998.  Rates  paid  in the  current  nine  month  period  on  average  were
approximately  50 basis  points less than the rates paid on average for the year
ended  December 31, 1998.  Management's  liability  pricing  strategies  include
competitive deposit rates with increased awareness of cash flow needs within the
balance sheet.  Management  anticipates  rates to increase  slightly  during the
remainder of the year.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest  income increased  approximately  $123,000 for the nine-months
ended September 30, 1999, as compared with the  nine-months  ended September 30,
1998.  The  increase is  primarily  due to an  increase  in other  miscellaneous
noninterest income of approximately  $242,000 and an increase in service charges
on deposit  accounts of  approximately  $46,000.  The increases  were  partially
offset by a decrease in net gains from sales and calls of investment  securities
held available-for-sale of approximately $165,000.  Principal increases in other
miscellaneous  noninterest income were approximately $47,000 in trust income and
gains on sale of other  real  estate  of  approximately  $30,000,  approximately
$148,000  in  credit  card  fee  income  and  approximately   $17,000  in  other
miscellaneous income.

                                       18
<PAGE>

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest  expense  increased by approximately  $706,000 or 5.1% for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1999,  as compared to the same period ended in
the preceding  year. The increase is due  principally to increases in salary and
employee benefits of approximately  $478,000 and approximately $314,000 in other
noninterest expense, while being offset partially by a decrease in net occupancy
expense of approximately  $86,000.  The increase in other noninterest expense is
due principally by the increases in data processing of  approximately  $125,000,
credit card fees of approximately $102,000, promotions of approximately $15,000,
charitable   contributions  of  approximately  $16,000,   professional  fees  of
approximately  $42,000, loss on distribution of assets of approximately $47,000,
postage of  approximately  $8,000 and other  miscellaneous  noninterest  expense
decreases of approximately $41,000.

Income Tax Provision

The effective tax rate reported for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and
1998 was 30.9% and 32.3%,  respectively.  Contributing  to the  decrease  in the
effective tax rate for the  nine-month  period ending  September 30, 1999,  when
compared to that of September 30, 1998, was an increase in nontaxable investment
securities interest income of approximately $314,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Liquidity is achieved through the continual maturing of interest-earning assets,
as well as by investing in short term marketable  securities.  Liquidity is also
available through deposit growth, borrowing capacity, loan sales and
repayments of principal on loans and securities.

High levels of  liquidity  are normally  obtained at a net interest  cost due to
lower yields on short-term,  liquidearning  assets and higher  interest  expense
usually  associated with the extension of deposit  maturities.  The trade-off of
the level of desired  liquidity  versus its cost is evaluated in determining the
appropriate amount of liquidity at any one time.

For the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  cash  and  cash  equivalents
decreased  approximately  $44,408,000  or 64.4% from  December  31,  1998.  HBTC
obtained a new account  relationship  with a local  utility,  which  transferred
large balance  accounts into HBTC during December 1998, which were later reduced
significantly  during January 1999. Both subsidiary banks of the Company receive
a large volume of property tax  payments  during the month of December  that are
subsequently withdrawn by the various taxing authorities that have accounts with
the Company's subsidiary banks.

Operating  activities  provided  cash  and  cash  equivalents  of  approximately
$3,817,000. Investing and financing activities used cash and cash equivalents of
approximately   $29,173,000  and  $19,052,000,   respectively.   Net  income  of
approximately  $3,937,000,  provision for loan losses of approximately $150,000,
depreciation  and  amortization  not requiring the use of cash of  approximately
$1,658,000,  a loss on  disposition  of  premises of  approximately  $47,000 and


                                       19
<PAGE>

premium   amortization  on  investment   securities  of  approximately   $8,000,
approximately $4,000 in net loss on sale of investment securities  held-for-sale
and an increase in other  liabilities of approximately  $350,000  contributed to
operating activities  providing cash and cash equivalents.  Operating activities
using cash and cash  equivalents  were a gain on the  disposition of real estate
owned of  approximately  $40,000,  deferred income tax benefits of approximately
$161,000, an increase in accrued interest receivable of approximately  $199,000,
and an increase in other assets of approximately $1,937,000.

The cash and cash equivalents used by investing  activities were principally due
to  purchases  of  investment  securities  available-for-sale  of  approximately
$26,042,000,  loans originated and principal collected on loans of approximately
$12,044,000 and purchases of premises and equipment of approximately $1,053,000.
The cash and cash equivalents used by investing activities were partially offset
by proceeds  from  maturities  of investment  securities  available-for-sale  of
approximately   $1,846,000,   proceeds  from  sales  of  investment   securities
available-for-sale  of  approximately  $7,879,000  and proceeds from disposal of
other real estate of approximately $241,000.

The cash and cash equivalents used by financing  activities were due principally
to decreases in federal funds  purchased and securities  sold under agreement to
repurchase  of  approximately   $12,817,000,   payments  of  cash  dividends  of
approximately  $1,643,000,  a net decrease in NOW accounts,  demand deposits and
savings  accounts of  approximately  $10,280,000,  and payments on capital lease
obligations of approximately $167,000.  Financing activities providing cash were
net cash  provided  from  sales and  maturities  of  certificates  of deposit of
approximately  $2,607,000  and  approximately  $304,000  from issuance of common
stock due to exercise of stock options and an increase in other  borrowed  funds
of approximately $2,944,000.


YEAR 2000

                  The  "year  2000  issue"  arises  from the  widespread  use of
computer  programs  that rely on  two-digit  codes to  perform  computations  or
decision-making  functions.  Many of these programs may fail due to an inability
to properly  interpret date codes beginning  January 1, 2000. For example,  such
programs may  misinterpret  "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000. In addition,
some equipment,  controlled by microprocessor  chips, may not deal appropriately
with the year "00".  The  Registrant  has  developed a plan that will assure the
Registrant of being ready to process in the year 2000.  The plan involves  costs
such as  purchasing  both  hardware and software and will entail the use of both
internal and external personnel.  Modifications and upgrades have been performed
on the  majority of the  Registrant's  existing  systems.  These costs are being
expensed as incurred.  The Registrant's  mainframe processing is outsourced to a
vendor  which is one of the  largest  bank  processing  companies  in the United
States.  The  Registrant  is in regular  communication  with this vendor as both
companies prepare for processing in year 2000.

                                       20
<PAGE>

                   There is no assurance  that the  Registrant's  customers  and
vendors will be ready to process in the year 2000.  The  inability of one of the
Registrant's  significant customers or vendors to process in the year 2000 could
have a material  effect on the financial  condition and results of operations of
the Registrant for the year 2000 and years thereafter.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issues
- ------------------------------

                  Generally,  the year 2000 risk involves  computer programs and
computer  hardware that are not able to perform  without  interruption  into the
year 2000.  The arrival of the year 2000 poses a unique  worldwide  challenge to
the ability of all systems to correctly  recognize such a date change;  computer
applications that rely on the date field could fail or create erroneous results.
Such  erroneous  results  could affect  interest,  payment or due dates or could
cause the temporary inability to process  transactions,  send invoices or engage
in similar normal business activities.  If it is not adequately addressed by HHC
or its suppliers and  borrowers,  the year 2000 issue could result in a material
adverse impact on HHC's financial condition and results of operations.

HHC's State of Readiness
- ------------------------

                  HHC has been assessing its year 2000 readiness since 1996. HHC
has formed a committee charged with the task of identifying and remediating date
recognition  problems in both Information  Technology ("IT") and Non-IT systems.
Guided  by  requirements  as well as  examination  by  banking  regulators,  the
committee has developed a comprehensive plan to assess HHC's year 2000 readiness
with respect to both IT and non-IT  systems.  HHC's inventory of such systems is
complete and HHC believes its IT and non-IT  systems are year 2000 compliant and
has not found any mission critical system to be deficient.

                  HHC  has  completed  the  remediation  or  replacement  of its
systems.  Testing occurred in 1998, and testing is almost over but will continue
util the end of 1999.  HHC believes that it has  identified  all major  internal
business and  operational  functions that will be impacted by the year 2000 date
change. HHC's mainframe processing is outsourced to a third party vendor and the
software for year 2000 has been in service since October 1998.  The  application
testing was completed in October of 1998. The "street  testing",  i.e.,  testing
for year end,  quarter ends, leap year and future years,  was completed on March
31, 1999. Both  subsidiary  banks of HHC have been through Phase II examinations
by their  respective  regulatory  authorities  without any major  concerns being
brought to the attention of their Boards of Directors and or management.

Cost Associated With Year 2000 Issues
- -------------------------------------

                  HHC does not anticipate  that its year 2000 related costs will
be  material  to its  financial  condition  or  results of  operations.  HHC has
estimated that its total costs for the  evaluation,  remediation  and testing of
its IT and  non-IT  systems  in  connection  with the year  2000  issue  will be
approximately  $811,000.  Approximately  $707,000  has been  incurred to date of
which  approximately  $503,000 has been  capitalized and is to be amortized over
the  respective  useful  lives while  approximately  $204,000  has been  charged
against  operations.  The  $104,000  remaining  in the  budget for the year 2000
project will be included in the  expenditures  for the last three months of 1999
and the first three months of year 2000. Of the remaining budget,  approximately
$11,000 will be capitalized  and  approximately  $93,000 will be charged against
operations as incurred  during the last three months of 1999 and the first three
months of year 2000.

Risk of Third-Party Year 2000 Issues
- ------------------------------------

                  The impact of year 2000 non-compliance by outside parties with
whom HHC transacts  business cannot be accurately  gauged.  HHC has surveyed its
major business partners to ascertain their year 2000 readiness. Although not all
are year 2000 compliant at this date, HHC has received  certain  assurances that
such  third  parties  will be ready for the year 2000 date  change by the end of
1999.  HHC and its  major  third  party  partners  have  completed  testing  and
reviewing of all critical year 2000 date issues in their systems.

                  The most likely worst case  scenario for HHC is that there may
be no power to  support  its  systems.  This case  would be  handled in the same
manner in which it  handles  winter  and summer  storms  that down power  lines.
Members of the HHC year 2000 committees have attended meetings held by the State
of Georgia, and the counties and cities where the Bank subsidiaries are located.
The  utilities in its  operating  area have stated that any embedded  technology
that  causes  power  outages  due to year 2000 will be handled by using the same
emergency  procedures  used during serious storms and the delay would be minimal
at most.


Customer Awareness and Borrower Risk Assessment
- -----------------------------------------------

                  HHC has  aggressively  worked to educate  its  depositors  and
borrowers  regarding  year  2000  issues.  HHC has  hosted  community  seminars,
developed statement stuffers,  and placed detailed brochures about the year 2000
issue in all its branch lobby locations. Risk assessments on borrowers have been
completed and HHC has  initiated a year 2000  assessment  procedure  during loan
review and approval for all new and renewed loans.

Year 2000 Contingency Planning
- ------------------------------

                  The Registrant's  Corporate Disaster  Contingency and Recovery
Plan was established in the fourth quarter of 1992. Its present contingency plan
covers both natural and man-made disasters, but is not specific enough to handle
the year 2000 Event.  For year 2000  purposes  all  financial  institutions  are
regulated very closely by  departments of the federal  government and operate in
uniformity  through the Federal Financial  Institutions  Examination  Council or
"FFIEC".   The  FFIEC  has   established   specific   guidelines  for  financial
institutions to develop a year 2000 contingency plan. The Registrant's  Board of
Directors  has  approved  the  FFIEC   guidelines  for  use  in  developing  our
contingency plan.

                                       22
<PAGE>

                  The  corporate  contingency  plan  called  for  a  multi-phase
approach  in the  development  process.  The  first  phase  was to  develop  the
responsibility  and  reporting  line of  command.  Each  subsidiary  appointed a
command post  consisting  of the bank  president,  the  highest-ranking  manager
representing  each division within the company,  and the year 2000  coordinator.
The command post  approved a line of business  committee  that  represented  the
supervisor  of each  department  within the company and a backup for each one of
the committee  members.  This  individual is referred to as the Line of Business
Coordinator  or Rapid  Response  Team Member.  Using the FFIEC  guidelines  as a
checklist  project  approach,  the  contingency  plan format was  developed  and
approved by the command post. The approach and plan was communicated to the line
of business  committee  through  officially  documented  committee  meetings and
individual interviews.

                  The project  approach  approved  by the  command  post and the
bank's  Board of  Directors  was for each line of business  committee  member to
develop a matrix of all  duties  and  functions  performed  on a daily,  weekly,
monthly,  quarterly,  annually,  as needed,  or demand  basis.  The matrix  also
reflected  all personnel  within a department  indexed by which  employees  were
responsible for each duty or function,  and all employees who were cross-trained
on each duty as a backup. The line of business coordinator developed a matrix of
only critical duties or functions from the master matrix list. The second matrix
became the critical  duties and  functions  list that was used to develop a risk
analysis and  contingency  report.  The risk analysis and  contingency  planning
report includes the following information:



     o    The duty or function.


     o    A risk  category  group code for each duty or  function  (i.e.,  staff
          problems, utility outages, software problems).

     o    The degree of negative impact on business if the event should occur.

     o    Pre-implementation mitigating actions that must be done to prepare for
          the event and how to address it afterwards.

     o    Proposed  workaround for each  contingency  and the description of the
          basis for taking the  approach  for that duty or  function.  o Name of
          person to contact if the situation occurs.


The risk  analysis  and  contingency  planning  report was used to  develop  the
content for the actual contingency plan.

The Registrant's Year 2000 Contingency Plan contains the following information:

                                       23
<PAGE>

               STAFFING AND WORK SCHEDULES: Expected work and vacation schedules
               before,  during,  and after the event  are  listed  along  with a
               personnel contact list.

               RECOVERY SUPPORT TEAM: A team of well trained and fully empowered
               employees  who will  identify and correct any  disruption  to the
               business  during  and  after  the  event.  The  employee's  name,
               address,  home  phone,   alternate  phone,  cellular  phone,  and
               electronic  mail address are listed.  The list of employees  also
               indicates  if they are line of business or command  post  members
               and if they live more than 30 miles from the main office.

               ASSUMPTIONS:  Lists include certain  assumptions that an employee
               may use in  developing  the  contingency  plan based on decisions
               already made by management.  The assumptions are segmented by the
               last  quarter of 1999,  and the periods of  December  30, 1999 to
               January 10, 2000 and January 11, 2000 to April 15, 2000.

               PLANS AND  PRIORITIES:  These are  segmented  by the time periods
               described  in  the  Assumptions   section  above.   This  section
               documents the communication plan during the three periods covered
               by the event plan and identifies the duties and plans to continue
               normal operating procedures.

               Y-2K CONTINGENCY PLAN:  Documentation of the steps to be taken if
               an  interruption  occurs  and is listed by  category  of  problem
               (i.e., utility outage, software problem).

               EMPLOYEE LOCATION DIRECTIONS: Detailed navigational directions to
               an   employee's   home  for   emergency   purposes  and  possible
               communication disruptions.

               UNRESOLVED   ISSUES:   Description  of  any  issues  that  remain
               unresolved by the line of business coordinator. This section will
               continue to be reviewed by the line of business committee and the
               year 2000 coordinator until all issues are resolved.

                  The Registrant's  corporate  contingency plan was completed by
December 31, 1998 and approved by the Board of Directors of the  Registrant  and
reviewed by the Board of Directors of each of the bank  subsidiaries.  The board
and  management  of each bank  understand  that these plans will be reviewed and
changed   periodically   due  to  staff  and  procedure   changes.   It  is  the
responsibility  of each line of business  coordinator to review these plans with
each employee in their departments.  The contingency plans will be tested in the
fourth  quarter of 1999.  This test will be conducted  under the scrutiny of our
internal auditors,  the Year 2000 coordinator,  and an outside  consultant.  The
line of  business or year 2000  committee  reviews  progress on the  contingency
plans biweekly and the command post and Board of Directors  review progress once
a month.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
- ----------------------

                  A 100 basis point  increase in interest  rates would result in
an increase in interest  margin of  approximately  $94,000  which is a change of
approximately  $60,000 from the $154,000  increase in interest margin that would
have occurred at December 31, 1998 if there had been a 100 basis points increase
in interest rates at that time.  The effect on the net interest  margin is not a
significant amount and well within the Company's policy.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------

                  HHC and its  subsidiary  banks are subject to a minimum Tier 1
capital to  risk-weighted  assets ratio of 4% and a total  capital  (Tier 1 plus
Tier 2) to risk-weighted assets ratio of 8%. The Federal Reserve Board ("Board")
has also established an additional capital adequacy guideline referred to as the
Tier 1  leverage  ratio  that  measures  the ratio of Tier 1 Capital  to average
quarterly assets.  The most highly rated bank holding companies will be required
to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage  ratio of 3%. The  required  ratio will be
based on the Board's  assessment of the individual bank holding  company's asset
quality,  earnings performance,  interest-rate risk and liquidity.  Bank holding
companies  experiencing  internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected
to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory
levels without significant reliance on intangible assets.

30, 1999 (in thousands):
