PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY BANKS
Eufaula BancCorp, Inc. ("Eufaula BancCorp" or the "Company") is a two-
bank holding company incorporated in Delaware in 1988 and headquartered in
Eufaula, Alabama. The Company has two subsidiary banks, Eufaula Bank and Trust
Company ("Eufaula Bank"), located in Eufaula, Alabama, and First American Bank
of Walton County ("American Bank"), located in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. The
Company does not engage in any substantial business other than the normal
banking services conducted by its two wholly-owned bank subsidiaries, which are
sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Banks".
EUFAULA BANK
Eufaula Bank was incorporated as an Alabama Banking corporation in 1926
for the purpose of conducting a commercial banking business in Eufaula, Alabama.
The Bank operates a full service commercial banking business in Barbour County,
its primary market area, providing such banking services as receipt of deposits,
personal and commercial loans, real estate mortgages, personal and commercial
checking, and other time deposits and related services.
Eufaula is the largest city in Barbour County with a population of
approximately 15,000 persons. Barbour County has a population of approximately
26,000 persons. Eufaula Bank and another commercial bank are approximately the
same size and are considered the largest banks in Barbour County.
AMERICAN BANK
American Bank was incorporated as a Florida corporation in 1987 for the
purpose of conducting a commercial banking business in South Walton County,
Florida. On September 1, 1991, the Company acquired American Bank. The Bank
operates as a full service commercial bank providing financial services in its
primary market area of South Walton County.
South Walton County has a population of approximately 5,000 persons.
American Bank is one of five banks operating in the South Walton area.
PROPERTIES
The Company's office and the main banking office of Eufaula Bank is
located at 218-220 E. Broad Street, Eufaula, Alabama. Eufaula Bank leases a
portion of the real estate upon which the building is situated. Eufaula Bank
also operates a branch office in Eufaula at 1121 South Eufaula Avenue. The land
on which the branch office is situated is leased.
American Bank operates its office at the corner of Mack Bayou Road and
U. S. Highway 98, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida in South Walton County. The Bank's
premises are owned by the Bank.

EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1996, Eufaula BancCorp and its subsidiaries employed 53
full-time employees and 6 part-time employees. Eufaula BancCorp considers its
relationship with its employees to be excellent.
The Company provides a nonqualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
including employees of both subsidiary banks. The primary purpose is to enable
employees to participate in the ownership of the Company. Also, each subsidiary
bank has a noncontributory profit-sharing plan covering all employees subject to
certain minimum age and service requirements.
CERTAIN REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO EUFAULA BANCCORP
GENERAL
As a bank holding company, Eufaula BancCorp is subject to the
regulation and supervision of the Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") and the
State of Alabama Department of Banking (the "ADB"). The Subsidiary Banks are
subject to supervision and examination by applicable state and Federal banking
agencies, including the FRB, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC"), the ADB and the State of Florida Department of Banking (the "FDB"). The
Subsidiary Banks are also subject to various requirements and restrictions under
Federal and state law, including requirements to maintain reserves against
deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and
the interest that may be charged thereon, and limitations on the types of
investments that may be made and the types of services that may be offered.
Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the
Subsidiary Banks. In addition to the impact of regulation, commercial banks are
affected significantly by the actions of the FRB as it attempts to control the
money supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy.
The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to
obtain the prior approval of the FRB before (i) it may acquire direct or
indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank
that it does not already control; (ii) it or any of its subsidiaries, other than
a bank, may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of a bank; and (iii)
it may merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company. In addition, a
bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring,
direct or indirect control of the voting shares of any company engaged in non-
banking activities. This prohibition does not apply to activities found by the
FRB, by order or regulation, to be so closely related to banking or managing or
controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Some of the activities
that the FRB has determined by regulation or order to be closely related to
banking are: (i) making or servicing loans and certain types of leases; (ii)
performing certain data processing services; (iii) acting as fiduciary or
investment or financial advisor; (iv) providing discount brokerage services; (v)
underwriting bank eligible securities; (vi) underwriting debt and equity
securities on a limited basis through separately capitalized subsidiaries; and
(vii) making investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to
promote community welfare.

<PAGE>
In addition, the ADB requires information with respect to the financial
condition, operations, management and intercompany relationships of Eufaula
BancCorp and the Subsidiary Banks and related matters. The ADB may also require
such other information as is necessary to keep itself informed as to whether the
provisions of Alabama law and the regulations and orders issued thereunder by
the ADB have been complied with, and the ADB may examine Eufaula BancCorp.
Eufaula BancCorp is an "affiliate" of the Subsidiary Banks under the Federal
Reserve Act, which imposes certain restrictions on (i) loans by the Subsidiary
Banks to Eufaula BancCorp; (ii) investments in the stock or securities of
Eufaula BancCorp by the Subsidiary Banks; (iii) the Subsidiary Bank's taking the
stock or securities of an "affiliate" as collateral for loans by the Subsidiary
Banks to a borrower; and (iv) the purchase of assets from Eufaula BancCorp by
the Subsidiary Banks. Further, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are
prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any
extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.
PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS
Eufaula BancCorp is a legal entity separate and distinct from its
subsidiaries. There are various legal and regulatory limitations under Federal
and state law on the extent to which Eufaula BancCorp's subsidiaries can pay
dividends or otherwise supply funds to Eufaula BancCorp.
The principal source of Eufaula BancCorp's cash revenues is dividends
from its subsidiaries and there are certain limitations under Federal and state
laws on the payment of dividends by such subsidiaries. The prior approval of the
FRB or the applicable state commissioner, as the case may be, is required if the
total of all dividends declared by any state member bank of the Federal Reserve
System in any calendar year exceeds the Bank's net income (as defined) for that
year combined with its retained net income for the preceding two calendar years,
less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any
preferred stock. The relevant Federal and state regulatory agencies also have
authority to prohibit a state member bank or bank holding company, which would
include Eufaula BancCorp and the Subsidiary Banks from engaging in what, in the
opinion of such regulatory body, constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice in
conducting its business. The payment of dividends could, depending upon the
financial condition of the subsidiary, be deemed to constitute such an unsafe or
unsound practice.
Eufaula Bank is subject to supervision and regular examination by the
ADB. Under the Alabama Banking Code, a state bank may not declare or pay a
dividend in excess of 90% of the net earnings of such bank until the surplus of
the bank is equal to at least 20% of its capital, and thereafter the prior
written approval of the Superintendent of Banks is required if the total of all
dividends declared by the bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net
earnings for that year combined with its retained net earnings for the preceding
two years less any required transfers to surplus. No dividends, withdrawals or
transfers may be made from the bank's surplus without prior written approval of
the Superintendent of Banks.
American Bank is subject to supervision and regulation by the State of
Florida Department of Banking ("Florida Department"). Under the Florida Banking
Code, a state bank may, after making certain chargeoffs, declare a dividend in
an amount not to exceed its aggregate net profits of the period combined with
its retained net profits of the preceding two years and, with the approval of
the Florida Department, may declare a dividend from retained net profits which
accrued prior to the preceding two years, provided that the Bank carried 20% of
its net profits for such preceding period to its surplus fund, until the same
shall at least equal the amount of its common and preferred stock then issued
and outstanding.
Retained earnings of the Banks available for payment of cash dividends
under all applicable regulations without obtaining governmental approval were
approximately $1.89 million as of December 31, 1996.

<PAGE>
In addition, the Banks are subject to limitations under Section 23A of
the Federal Reserve Act with respect to extensions of credit to, investments in,
and certain other transactions with, Eufaula BancCorp. Furthermore, loans and
extensions of credit are also subject to various collateral requirements.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY
The FRB has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding
companies. The minimum ratio of total capital ("Total Capital") to risk-weighted
assets (including certain off-balance sheet items, such as standby letters of
credit) is 8%. At least half of the Total Capital is to be composed of common
stock, minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries,
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and a limited amount of perpetual
preferred stock, less goodwill ("Tier I Capital"). The remainder may consist of
subordinated debt, other preferred stock and a limited amount of loan loss
reserves.
In addition, the FRB has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines
for bank holding companies. These guidelines for a minimum ratio of Tier I
Capital to total assets, less goodwill (the "Leverage Ratio") of 3% for bank
holding companies that meet certain specified criteria, including those having
the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies generally are
required to maintain a Leverage Ratio of at least 3% plus an additional cushion
of 100 to 200 basis points. The guidelines also provide that 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. Furthermore, the FRB
has indicated that it will consider a "tangible Tier I capital leverage ratio"
(deducting all intangibles) and other indications of capital strength in
evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities.
Effective December 19, 1992, a new Section 38 to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act implemented the prompt corrective action provisions that Congress
enacted as a part of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
of 1991 (the "1991 Act") "prompt corrective action" provisions set forth five
regulatory zones in which all banks are placed largely based on their capital
positions. Regulators are permitted to take increasingly harsh action as a
Bank's financial condition declines. Regulators are also empowered to place in
receivership or require the sale of a bank to another depository institution
when a bank's capital leverage ratio reaches two percent. Better capitalized
institutions are generally subject to less onerous regulation and supervision
than banks with less amounts of capital.
The FDIC has adopted regulations implementing the prompt corrective
action provisions of the 1991 Act, which place financial institutions in the
following five categories based upon capitalization ratios: (i) a "well
capitalized" institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a
Tier I risk-based ratio of at least 6% and a leverage ratio of at least 5%; (ii)
an "adequately capitalized" institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of
at least 8%, a Tier I risk-based ratio of at least 4% and a leverage ratio of at
least 4%; (iii) an "undercapitalized" institution has a total risk-based capital
ratio of under 8%, a Tier I risk-based ratio of under 4% or a leverage ratio of
under 4%; (iv) a "significantly undercapitalized" institution has a total risk-
based capital ratio of under 6%, a Tier I risk-based ratio of under 3% or a
leverage ratio of under 3%; and (v) a "critically undercapitalized" institution
has a leverage ratio of 2% or less. Institutions in any of the three
undercapitalized categories would be prohibited from declaring dividends or
making capital distributions. The FDIC regulations also establish procedures for
"downgrading" an institution to a lower capital category based on supervisory
factors other than capital.
4
<PAGE>
The downgrading of an institution's category is automatic in two
situations: (i) whenever an otherwise well-capitalized institution is subject to
any written capital order or directive; and (ii) where an undercapitalized
institution fails to submit or implement a capital restoration plan or has its
plan disapproved. The Federal banking agencies may treat institutions in the
well-capitalized, adequately capitalized and undercapitalized categories as if
they were in the next lower level based on safety and soundness considerations
relating to factors other than capital levels.
All insured institutions regardless of their level of capitalization
are prohibited by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
1991 (the "FDIC Act") from paying any dividend or making any other kind of
capital distribution or paying any management fee to any controlling person if
following the payment or distribution the institution would be undercapitalized.
While the prompt corrective action provisions of the FDIC Act contain no
requirements or restrictions aimed specifically at adequately capitalized
institutions, other provisions of the FDIC Act and the agencies' regulations
relating to deposit insurance assessments, brokered deposits and interbank
liabilities treat adequately capitalized institutions less favorably than those
that are well-capitalized.
Under the FDIC's regulations, all of the Subsidiary Banks are "well
capitalized" institutions.
SUPPORT OF SUBSIDIARY BANKS
Under the FRB policy, Eufaula BancCorp is expected to act as a source
of financial strength to, and to commit resources to support, each of the
Subsidiary Banks. This support may be required at times when, absent such FRB
policy, Eufaula BancCorp may not be inclined to provide it. In the event of a
bank holding company's bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to
a Federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank
will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.
As a result of the enactment of Section 206 of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act ("FIRREA") on August 9, 1989,
a depository institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable for any loss
incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC after August 9,
1989 in connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured
depository institution or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to any
commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution "in danger of default",
which is defined generally as the existence of certain conditions indicating
that a default is likely to occur in the absence of regulator assistance.
FDIC INSURANCE ASSESSMENTS
The Subsidiary Banks are subject to FDIC deposit insurance assessments
for the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF"). Since 1989, the annual FDIC deposit
insurance assessments increased from $.083 per $100 of deposits to a minimum
level of $.23 per $100, an increase of 177 percent. The FDIC implemented a risk-
based assessment system whereby banks are assessed on a sliding scale depending
on their placement in nine separate supervisory categories, from $.23 per $100
of deposits for the healthiest banks (those with the highest capital, best
management and best overall condition) to as much as $.31 per $100 of deposits
for the less-healthy institutions, for an average $.259 per $100 of deposits.
5
<PAGE>
On August 8, 1995, the FDIC lowered the BIF premium for "healthy" banks
83% from $.23 per $100 in deposits to $.04 per $100 in deposits, while retaining
the $.31 level for the riskiest banks. The average assessment rate was therefore
reduced from $.232 to $.044 per $100 of deposits. The new rate took effect on
September 29, 1995. On November 14, 1995, the FDIC again lowered the BIF premium
for "healthy" banks from $.04 per $100 of deposits to zero for the highest rated
institutions (92% of the industry). As a result, each of the Subsidiary Banks
pay only the legally required annual minimum payment for insurance as of January
1997.
RECENT LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY ACTION
On April 19,1995, the four Federal bank regulatory agencies adopted
revisions to the regulations promulgated pursuant to the Community Reinvestment
Act (the "CRA"), which are intended to set distinct assessment standards for
financial institutions. The revised regulations contains three evaluation tests:
(i) a lending test which will compare the institution's market share of loans in
low- and moderate-income areas to its market share of loans in its entire
service area and the percentage of a bank's outstanding loans to low- and
moderate-income areas or individuals; (ii) a services test which will evaluate
the provisions of services that promote the availability of credit to low- and
moderate-income areas; and (iii) an investment test, which will evaluate an
institution's record of investments in organizations designed to foster
community development, small- and minority-owned businesses and affordable
housing lending, including state and local government housing or revenue bonds.
The regulation is designed to reduce some paperwork requirements of the current
regulations and provide regulators, institutions and community groups with a
more objective and predictable manner with which to evaluate the CRA performance
of financial institutions. The rule became effective on January 1, 1996, at
which time evaluation under streamlined procedures were scheduled to begin for
institutions with assets of less than $250 million that are owned by a holding
company with total assets of less than $1 billion. Until the regulators release
guidelines for examiners that interpret the rules, it is unclear what effect, if
any, these regulations will have on Eufaula BancCorp and the Subsidiary Banks.
Congress and various Federal agencies (including, in addition to the bank
regulatory agencies, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the
Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice) (collectively, the
"Federal Agencies") responsible for implementing the nation's fair lending laws
have been increasingly concerned that prospective home buyers and other
borrowers are experiencing discrimination in their efforts to obtain loans. In
recent years, the Department of Justice has filed suit against financial
institutions, which it determined had discriminated, seeking fines and
restitution for borrowers who allegedly suffered from discriminatory practices.
Most, if not all, of these suits have been settled (some for substantial sums)
without a full adjudication on the merits.
On March 8, 1994, the Federal Agencies, in an effort to clarify what
constitutes lending discrimination and specify the factors the agencies will
consider in determining if lending discrimination exists, announced a joint
policy statement detailing specific discriminatory practices prohibited under
the Equal Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act. In the policy statement,
three methods of proving lending discrimination were identified: (i) evidence of
discrimination, when a lender blatantly discriminates on a prohibited basis;
(ii) evidence of disparate treatment, when a lender treats applicants
differently based on a prohibited factor even where there is no showing that the
treatment was motivated by prejudice or a conscious intention to discriminate
against a person; and (iii) evidence of disparate impact, when a lender applies
a practice uniformly to all applicants, but the practice has a discriminatory
effect, even where such practices are neutral on their face and are applied
equally, unless the practice can be justified on the basis of business
necessity .

<PAGE>
On September 23, 1994, President Clinton signed the Reigle Community
Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (the "Regulatory Improvement
Act"). The Regulatory Improvement Act contains funding for community development
projects through banks and community development financial institutions and also
numerous regulatory relief provisions designed to eliminate certain duplicative
regulations and paperwork requirements. On September 29, 1994, President Clinton
signed the Reigle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994
(the "Federal Interstate Bill") which amended Federal law to permit bank holding
companies to acquire existing banks in any state effective September 29, 1995,
and to permit any interstate bank holding company to merge its various bank
subsidiaries into a single bank with interstate branches after May 31, 1997.
States have the authority to authorize interstate branching prior to June 1,
1997, or, alternatively, to opt out of interstate branching prior to that date.
STATE REGULATIONS
The geographical areas in which a bank holding company may engage in
business through bank subsidiaries are a function of the relationship between
the banking laws of the state in which the bank holding company maintains its
principal place of business and the Holding Company Act. Subject to certain
exceptions and in all cases prior regulatory approval, a banking holding company
maintaining its principal place of business in the State of Alabama may engage
in statewide banking by (i) establishing de novo banks or acquiring existing
banks in other counties in the State of Alabama, (ii) causing one or more of its
banking subsidiaries to merge across county lines, or (iii) causing its banking
subsidiaries to establish branches in one or more counties.
MONETARY POLICY
The earnings of Eufaula BancCorp are affected by domestic and foreign
economic conditions, particularly by the monetary and fiscal policies of the
United States government and its agencies.
The FRB has had, and will continue to have, an important impact on the
operating results of commercial banks through its power to implement national
monetary policy in order, among other things, to mitigate recessionary and
inflationary pressures by regulating the national money supply. The techniques
used by the Federal Reserve Bank include setting the reserve requirements of
member banks and establishing the discount rate on member bank borrowings. The
FRB also conducts open market transactions in United States government
securities.
FUTURE REQUIREMENTS
Statutes and regulations are regularly introduced which contain wide-
ranging proposals for altering the structure, regulations and competitive
relationships of the nation's financial institutions. It cannot be predicted
whether or in what form any proposed statute or regulation will be adopted or
the extent to which the business of Eufaula BancCorp or any of the Subsidiary
Banks may be affected by such statute or regulation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company's principal asset is its ownership of the Banks.
Accordingly, the Company's results of operations are primarily dependent upon
the results of operations of the Banks. The Banks conduct a commercial banking
business which consists of attracting deposits from the general public and
applying those funds to the origination of commercial, consumer and real estate
loans (including commercial loans collateralized by real estate). The Banks'
profitability depends primarily on net interest income, which is the difference
between interest income generated from interest-earning assets (i.e., loans and
investments) less the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities
(i.e., customer deposits and borrowed funds). Net interest income is affected by
the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, and the interest rate paid and earned on these balances. Net
interest income is dependent upon the Banks' interest rate spread, which is the
difference between the average yield earned on its interest-earning assets and
the average rate paid on its interest-bearing liabilities. When interest-earning
assets approximates or exceeds interest-bearing liabilities, any positive
interest rate spread will generate interest income. The interest rate spread is
impacted by interest rates, deposit flows and loan demand. Additionally, and to
a lesser extent, the Banks' profitability is affected by such factors as the
level of noninterest income and expenses, the provision for loan losses and the
effective tax rate. Noninterest income consists primarily of loan and other fees
and income from the sale of investment securities. Noninterest expenses consist
of compensation and benefits, occupancy-related expenses, deposit insurance
premiums paid to the FDIC and other operating expenses.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
The Company's results of operations are determined by its ability to
effectively manage interest income and expense, to minimize loan and investment
losses, to generate noninterest income and to control noninterest expense. Since
interest rates are determined by market forces and economic conditions beyond
the control of the Company, the ability to generate net interest income is
dependent upon the Bank's ability to obtain an adequate spread between the rate
earned on interest-earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities. Thus, the key performance measure for net interest income is the
interest margin or net yield, which is taxable-equivalent net interest income
divided by average earning assets.
The primary component of consolidated earnings is net interest income,
or the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and
interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin is net
interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.
Interest-earning assets consist of loans, investment securities and Federal
funds sold. Interest-bearing liabilities consist of deposits and other short-
term borrowings. A portion of interest income is earned on tax-exempt
investments, such as state and municipal bonds. In an effort to state this tax-
exempt income and its resultant yield on a basis comparable to all other taxable
investments, an adjustment is made to analyze this income on a taxable-
equivalent basis.

<PAGE>
The Company's net interest margin decreased 11 basis points or 2.00% to
5.39% in 1996 as compared to 5.50% in 1995. The yield on average interest-
earning assets decreased to 8.76% in 1996 as compared to 9.00% in 1995. The
interest rate paid on average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 4.31% in
1996 as compared to 4.45% in 1995. Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent
basis was $4,801,000 in 1996 as compared to $4,491,000 in 1995, representing an
increase of $310,000 or 6.90%. The increase resulted from an increase of
$327,000 generated on increased volume and a reduction of $17,000 due to a
decrease in average yield.
Average interest-earning assets increased $7,316,000 to $89,037,000 in
1996 from $81,721,000 in 1995, an increase of 8.95%. Average loans increased
$2,892,000; average investments increased $4,347,000; and average Federal funds
sold increased $77,000. The increase in average interest-earning assets was
funded by an increase of $7,826,000, or 9.90%, in average deposits to
$86,856,000 in 1996 from $79,030,000 in 1995. Approximately 21% of the average
deposits were noninterest-bearing deposits in 1996 and 1995.
The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for potential losses
in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is
evaluated periodically based on a review of all significant loans, with a
particular emphasis on nonaccruing, past due and other loans that management
believes require attention.
The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings in the current
period to replenish the allowance and maintain it at a level management has
determined to be adequate. The provision for loan losses charged to earnings
amounted to $81,000 in 1996 and $86,000 in 1995, representing a decrease of
5.81% in the provision. The decrease in the provision was attributed to a
decrease of 73.91% in net loan charge-offs to average loans outstanding and was
basedupon management's evaluation of the loan portfolios and the potential loan
risk associated with certain loans. Net loan charge-offs amounted to
approximately $30,000 in 1996 as compared to net loan charge-offs of
approximately $107,000 in 1995. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
total loans outstanding amounted to 1.26% at December 31, 1996 as compared to
1.25% at December 31, 1995.
The determination of the amounts allocated for loan losses is based
upon management's judgment concerning factors affecting loan quality and
assumptions about the local and national economy. Management considers the year-
end allowances adequate to cover potential losses in the loan portfolio.
Noninterest income increased $86,000 to $874,000 in 1996 from $788,000
in 1995 due primarily to an increase of $62,000 in service charges on deposit
accounts. Net gains on sales of investment securities also increased $21,000.
Noninterest expense increased $198,000 to $3,551,000 in 1996 from
$3,353,000 in 1995, due primarily to an increase in salaries and employee
benefits of $137,000. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was
attributable to a normal increase in salaries and related benefits for
employees.

<PAGE>
Average total assets increased 7.60% to $99,145,000 in 1996 as compared
to $92,139,000 in 1995. Average interest-earning assets increased 8.95% in 1996
over 1995. Loan demand was slightly weaker in 1996 than in 1995 as evidenced by
a loan to deposit ratio of 58% in 1996 as compared to 60% in 1995. As a result,
average investment securities increased 13.44% in 1996 over 1995 as compared to
an increase of only 3.38% in 1995 over 1994. Average Federal funds sold
increased $77,000 to $2,059,000 in 1996 from $1,982,000 in 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 amounted to
$2,381,000, representing an increase of $178,000 or 8.08% from net interest
income of $2,203,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Noninterest income
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 amounted to $583,000 as compared to
$509,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, representing an increase of
$74,000 or 14.54%. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $45,000 or
13.27% to $384,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to
$339,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. This increase in service
charges was attributable to an increase in deposits of approximately $5,000,000
to $97,000,000 at June 30, 1997 as compared to $92,000,000 at June 30, 1996. All
other noninterest income increased $29,000 or 17.06% to $199,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $170,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1996.
Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1997 amounted to
$2,179,000, representing an increase of $325,000 or 17.53% from noninterest
expense of $1,854,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Salaries and
benefits increased $159,000 or 15.84% to $1,163,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 as compared to $1,004,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Approximately $50,000 of the increase in salaries and benefits is attributable
to the establishment of a loan production office in Montgomery, Alabama in
January of 1997. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $45,000 to $293,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $248,000. The increase in
occupancy and equipment expense is attributable to the opening of a new branch
bank in Florida and the renovation of the Eufaula Bank. Other noninterest
expense increased $121,000 to $723,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as
compared to $602,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Directors fees
increased $41,000, auditing and accounting expense increased $44,000 and
consulting fees increased $13,000.
Because of the significant increase in noninterest expense, net income
decreased $69,000 to $477,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared
to $546,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
Total cash and due from banks amounted to $7,499,000 at June 30, 1997
as compared to $9,446,000 at June 30, 1996, representing a decrease of
$1,947,000. Securities and temporary investments decreased $4,908,000 to
$33,853,000 at June 30, 1997 as compared to $38,761,000 at June 30, 1996. Loans
net of allowance for loan losses increased $18,085,000 to $66,614,000 at June
30, 1997 as compared to $48,529,000 at June 30, 1996. The increase in loans was
funded primarily by the decrease in securities and temporary investments, an
increase of $4,841,000 in deposits and an increase of $5,800,000 in short-term
borrowings. Total equity increased $1,580,000 to $11,403,000 at June 30, 1997 as
compared to $9,823,000 at June 30, 1996. Total assets increased $12,211,000 to
$115,268,000 at June 30, 1997 as compared to $103,057,000 at June 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity management involves the matching of the cash flow
requirements of customers who may be either depositors desiring to withdraw
funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to
meet their credit needs and the ability of the Company and the Banks to meet
those needs. The Company and the Banks seek to meet liquidity requirements
primarily through management of short-term investments (principally Federal
funds sold) and monthly amortizing loans. Another source of liquidity is the
repayment of maturing single payment loans. Also, the Banks maintain
relationships with correspondent banks which could provide funds on short
notice, if needed.
The liquidity and capital resources of the Company and the Banks are
monitored on a periodic basis by state and Federal regulatory authorities. As
determined under guidelines established by these regulatory authorities, the
Banks' liquidity ratio at December 31, 1996 was considered satisfactory. At
that date, the Banks' short-term investments were adequate to cover any
reasonable anticipated immediate need for funds. The Company and the Banks were
aware of no events or trends likely to result in a material change in their
liquidity. During 1996, the Company increased its capital by retaining earnings
of $958,000 after payment of dividends. After recording a reduction in capital
of $191,000 for unrealized losses on securities, net of taxes, total capital
increased $767,000 to $10,715,000 from $9,948,000 at December 31, 1995.
At December 31, 1996, the Company had binding commitments for capital
expenditures of $420,000 related to a new branch location of American Bank.
In accordance with risk capital guidelines issued by the Federal
Reserve Board, Eufaula BancCorp is required to maintain a minimum standard of
total capital to weighted risk assets of 8%. Additionally, all member banks must
maintain "core" or "Tier 1" capital of at least 4% of total assets ("leverage
ratio") .Member banks operating at or near the 4% capital level are expected to
have well-diversified risks, including no undue interest rate risk exposure,
excellent control systems, good earnings, high asset quality, and well managed
on- and off-balance sheet activities; and, in general, be considered strong
banking organizations with a composite 1 rating under the CAMEL rating system of
minimum leverage ratio is to be 4% plus an additional 100 to 200 basis points.
The following table summarizes the regulatory capital levels of the
Company at December 31, 1996.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- ------------------------------------------
In June 1996 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities",
("SFAS No. 125"). This statement provides standards for distinguishing transfers
of financial assets that are sales from those that are secured borrowings, and
provides guidance on the recognition and measurement of asset servicing
contracts and on debt extinguishments. As issued, SFAS No. 125 is effective for
transactions occurring after December 31, 1996. However, as a result of an
amendment to SFAS No. 125 by the FASB in December 1996, certain provisions of
SFAS No. 125 are deferred for an additional year. Adoption of the new accounting
standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.
11
<PAGE>
DISCLOSURES ABOUT NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)
- ------------------------------------------------------
In February 1997 the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share."
This statement simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share
previously set forth in APB Opinion No.15, "Earnings per Share," and makes them
comparable to international Earnings per share ("EPS") standards. It replaces
the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income
statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a
reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to
the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes
dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or
resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the
entity. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to APB
Opinion No. 15. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997. The adoption of this statement is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In June 1997 the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses)
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. This statement requires
that 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 with the same prominence as other financial statements. This statement
does not require a specific format for that financial statement but requires
that an enterprise display an amount representing total comprehensive income for
the period in that financial statement. This statement requires that an
enterprise classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a
financial statement and display the accumulated balance or other comprehensive
income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the
equity section of a statement of financial position. This statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of this
statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.
In June 1997 the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." This statement requires that a public
business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its
reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an
enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial
information is required to be reported on the basis that it is used internally
for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to
segments. The statement requires that a business enterprise report a measure of
segment profit or loss, certain specific revenue and expense items, and segment
assets. It requires reconciliations of total segment revenues, total segment
profit or loss, total segment assets, and other amounts disclosed for segments
to corresponding amounts in the enterprise's general-purpose financial
statements. It requires that the enterprise report information about the
revenues derived from the enterprise's products or services, about the countries
in which the enterprise earns revenues and holds assets, and about major
customers. This statement is effective for financial statements for periods
beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of this statement is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

RATE AND VOLUME ANALYSIS
The following table reflects the changes in net interest income resulting
from changes in interest rates and from asset and liability volume. Federally
tax-exempt interest is presented on a taxable-equivalent basis assuming a 34%
Federal tax rate . The change in interest attributable to rate has been
determined by applying the change in rate between years to average balances
outstanding in the later year. The change in interest due to volume has been
determined by applying the rate from the earlier year to the change in average
balances outstanding between years. Thus, changes that are not solely due to
volume have been consistently attributed to rate.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
A principal objective of the Company's asset/liability management
strategy is to minimize its exposure to changes in interest rates by matching
the maturity and repricing horizons of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. At Eufaula Bank, this strategy is overseen in part
through the direction of the Investment Committee which establishes policies and
monitors results to control interest rate sensitivity. At American Bank, the
strategy is overseen by the Board of Directors with the direction and strategy
being directed principally by the President of the Bank.
As part of the Banks' interest rate risk management policy, the
Investment Committee or Board examines the extent to which its assets and
liabilities are "interest rate-sensitive" and monitors its interest
rate-sensitivity "gap" .An asset or liability is considered to be interest
rate-sensitive if it will reprice or mature within the time period analyzed,
usually one year or less. The interest rate-sensitivity gap is the difference
between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities scheduled
to mature or reprice within such time period. A gap is considered positive when
the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest
rate-sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of
interest rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the interest rate-sensitive assets.
During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely
affect net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to result in an
increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest
rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest
income, while a positive gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income.
If the Company's assets and liabilities were equally flexible and moved
concurrently, the impact of any increase or decrease in interest rates on net
interest income would be minimal.
16
<PAGE>
A simple interest rate "gap" analysis by itself may not be an accurate
indicator of how net interest income will be affected by changes in interest
rates. Accordingly, the Investment Committee or Board also evaluates how the
repayment of particular assets and liabilities is impacted by changes in
interest rates. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs
associated with interest-bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by
changes in interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in
interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For
example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or
periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market
interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities
fluctuate in advance of changes in general market interest rates, while interest
rates on other types may lag behind changes in general market rates. In
addition, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features
((generally referred to as "interest rate caps") which limit changes in interest
rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In the event of a
change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels also could
deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the interest rate gap.
The ability of many borrowers to service their debts also may decrease in the
event of an interest rate increase.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company's cumulative one-year interest
rate sensitivity gap ratio was 58%. This indicates that the Company's
interest-bearing liabilities will reprice during this period at a rate faster
than the Company's interest-earning assets. However, management believes that
the type and amount of the Company's interest rate-sensitive liabilities (a
significant portion of which are composed of money market, NOW and savings
accounts whose yields, to a certain extent, are subject to the discretion of
management) may reduce the potential impact that a rise in interest rates might
have on the Company's net interest income. The Company has found that NOW
checking accounts and savings deposits are generally not sensitive to changes in
interest rates. If such liabilities totaling $18,391,000 were included in "one
to five years maturity" rather than the "zero to three months maturity",
cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap ratio for the cumulative one-year
period would be 79% rather than 58%. In addition, the Company has borrowing
agreements with three correspondent banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank to
provide temporary liquidity as necessary.
The following table sets forth the distribution of the repricing of the
Company's earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of December 31,
1996, the interest rate sensitivity gap (i.e., interest rate sensitive assets
less interest rate sensitive liabilities), the cumulative interest rate
sensitivity gap ratio (i.e., interest rate sensitive assets divided by interest
rate sensitivity liabilities) and the cumulative sensitivity gap ratio. The
table also sets forth the time periods in which earning assets and liabilities
will mature or may reprice in accordance with their contractual terms. However,
the table does not necessarily indicate the impact of general interest rate
movements on the net interest margin since the repricing of various categories
of assets and liabilities is subject to competitive pressures and the needs of
the Banks' customers. In addition, various assets and liabilities indicated as
repricing within the same period may in fact reprice at different times within
such period and at different rates.

In the opinion of management, any loans classified by regulatory
authorities as substandard or special mention that have not been disclosed above
do not (i) represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management
reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or
capital resources, nor (ii) represent material credits about which management is
aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to
the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. Any loans
classified by regulatory authorities as loss have been charged off.
SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE
The provision for possible loan losses is created by direct charges to
operations. Losses on loans are charged against the allowance in the period in
which such loans, in management's opinion, become uncollectible. Recoveries
during the period are credited to this allowance. The factors that influence
management's judgment in determining the amount charged to operating expense are
past loan experience, composition of the loan portfolio, evaluation of possible
future losses, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. The
Company's allowance for loan losses was approximately $656,000 at December 31,
1996, representing 1.26% of year-end total loans outstanding compared with
approximately $605,000 at December 31, 1995, which represented 1.25% year end
total loans outstanding.
20
<PAGE>
The allowance for loan losses is reviewed quarterly based on
management's evaluation of current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio,
as well as the impact of prevailing and expected economic business conditions.
Management considers the allowance for loan losses adequate to cover possible
loan losses on each outstanding loan with particular emphasis on any problem
loans.
ALLOCATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The following table sets forth the breakdown of the allowance for loan
losses by loan category for the periods indicated. Management believes the
allowance can be allocated only on an approximate basis. The allocation of the
allowance to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses and
does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in any other
category.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The Company manages the mix of asset and liability maturities in an
effort to control the effects of changes in the general level of interest rates
on net interest income. See " - Asset/Liability Management." Except for its
effect on the general level of interest rates, inflation does not have a
material impact on the Company due to the rate variability and short-term
maturities of its earnings assets. In particular, approximately 64% of the loan
portfolio is comprised of loans which mature or reprice within one year or less.
Mortgage loans, primarily with five- to fifteen-year maturities, are also made
on a variable rate basis with rates being adjusted every one to five years.
Additionally, 7% of the investment portfolio matures within one year.

COMMITMENTS AND LINES OF CREDITS
In the ordinary course of business, the Banks have granted commitments
to extend credit to approved customers. Generally, these commitments to extend
credit have been granted on a temporary basis for seasonal or inventory
requirements and have been approved by each Bank's respective Board of
Directors. The Banks have also granted commitments to approved customers for
standby letters of credit. These commitments are recorded in the financial
statements when funds are disbursed or the financial instruments become payable.
The Banks use the same credit policies for these off-balance sheet commitments
as they do for financial instruments that are recorded in the consolidated
financial statements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because many of the
commitment amounts expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts
do not necessary represent future cash requirements.
Following is a summary of the commitments outstanding at December 31,
1996 and 1995.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated
financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and practices within the banking industry which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing
power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies,
virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary
in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a
financial institution's performance than the effects of general levels of
inflation.

NON-QUALIFIED SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT AGREEMENT
The Company has entered into a non-qualified supplemental retirement
benefit agreement with Gregory B. Faison. Pursuant to this agreement, which is
fully financed by life insurance, the Company has agreed to pay Mr. Faison a
benefit in the event of his retirement, death or termination of his service as a
director of the bank. The benefit paid by the Company to the beneficiaries of
Mr. Faison by reason of his death shall be an amount equal to the value of his
liability reserve account, if any, at the time of his death. The annual benefit
to be paid by reason of his retirement or termination of his service as a
director of the Bank shall commence at the time of his retirement or age 65
whichever occurs later and shall be an amount determined by a formula that
depends upon future events. This benefit will be paid each year for the life of
Mr. Faison and is currently projected to be approximately $68,360.00 in the
first year with a small increase in that amount thereafter.
Mr. Faison is also a party to an endorsement split dollar agreement
that will provide a life insurance benefit to his beneficiary in an amount that
is projected to be between $430,000 and $850,000 depending upon the time of his
death. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the life insurance policy
that is the subject of this agreement and has by endorsement given Mr. Faison
the right to designate the beneficiary of 80% of the net-at-risk life insurance
portion of that policy. The net-at-risk life insurance portion of the policy is
defined as the difference between the total death benefit of the policy and the
policy's cash surrender value.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
All outside directors receive a fee of $2,500 annually, $1,000 per
quarter and an additional $200 for each meeting attended.
ITEM 7. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Officers and directors of the Company and the Banks and their
associates are customers of and have transactions with the Banks in the ordinary
course of business, and may continue to do so in the future. All outstanding
loans and commitments included in such transactions were made in the ordinary
course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
other persons, and did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility or
present other unfavorable features.
ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
GENERAL
The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
par value of $1.00 per share. At June 30, 1997, the Company had issued and
outstanding 1,388,382 shares of Common Stock which were held by 306 shareholders
of record. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and
nonassessable. The following description of the Common Stock of the Company is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles of Incorporation of the
Company which are filed as an Exhibit to this Registration Statement on Form 10-
SB. See "Part III - Index to Exhibits."
30
<PAGE>
DIVIDENDS
Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor.
Dividends may be paid in cash, property or shares of Common Stock, unless the
Company is insolvent or the dividend payment would render it insolvent.
The Company's ability to pay dividends depends upon the earnings and
financial condition of the Banks and certain legal requirements. The Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System has stated that bank holding companies
should not pay dividends except out of current earnings and unless the
prospective rate of earnings retention by the Company appears consistent with
its capital needs, asset quality and overall financial condition. See "Part I -
Item 1 - Description of Business - Supervision and Regulation."
The Banks may pay dividends to the Company provided that the payment
is not prohibited by the Banks' Articles of Incorporation and will not render
the Banks insolvent. In addition, Eufaula Bank is subject to supervision and
regular examination by the ADB. Under the Alabama Banking Code, a state bank may
not declare or pay a dividend in excess of 90% of the net earnings of such bank
until the surplus of the bank is equal to at least 20% of its capital, and
thereafter the prior written approval of the Superintendent of Banks if required
if the total of all dividends declared by the bank in any calendar year exceeds
the total of its net earnings for that year combined with its retained net
earnings for the preceding two years less any required transfers to surplus. No
dividends, withdrawals or transfers may be made from the bank's surplus without
prior written approval of the Superintendent of Banks. American Bank is subject
to supervision and regulation by the Florida Department. Under the Florida
Banking Code, a state bank may, after making certain charge-offs, declare a
dividend in an amount not to exceed its aggregate net profits of the period
combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years and, with the
approval of the Florida Department, may declare a dividend from retained net
profits which accrued prior to the preceding two years, provided that the bank
carried 20% of its net profits for such preceding period to its surplus fund,
until the same shall at least equal the amount of its common and preferred stock
then issued and outstanding.
NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
The holders of Common Stock do not have preemptive rights. This
permits the Board of Directors of the Company to utilize the authorized and
unissued shares of the Common Stock as it determines to be in the best interests
of the Company and its shareholders. Since the Board could issue shares of
Common Stock to raise additional equity capital and for other proper corporate
purposes, the absence of preemptive rights could result in dilution of a
shareholder's interest in the Company. Any issuance of shares, however, would
have to be approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
VOTING RIGHTS
The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters presented for action by shareholders, including elections of directors.

PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED
SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS
(a) In June 1996, the Company's common stock was approved for
listing on the Nasdaq National Market System ("Nasdaq - NMS")
under the symbol EUFA.
Prior to the listing, quotations for the common stock were not
reported on any market, and there was no established public
trading market for the common stock.
The following table sets forth: (a) the high and low bid prices
for the common stock as quoted on Nasdaq-NMS during the periods
since the common stock was listed; and (b) the amount of
quarterly dividends declared on the common stock during the
periods indicated.

(b) As of June 30, 1997, there were approximately 306 holders of
record of the Common Stock.
(c) The Company paid an annual dividend on its Common Stock of $.20
and $.18 per share for fiscal years 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiary banks is a party to, nor
is any of their property the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings,
other than the ordinarily routine proceedings incidental to the business of the
Banks, nor to the knowledge of the management of the Company are any such
proceedings contemplated or threatened against it or its subsidiaries.
ITEM 3. DISAGREEMENT ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
During 1996 and 1995, the Company did not change its accountants and
there was no disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices
for financial statement disclosure that would have required the filing of a
current report on Form 8-K.

ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The Company's Articles of Incorporation, subject to certain
exceptions, eliminates the potential personal liability of a director for
monetary damages to the Company or its shareholders for breach of a duty as a
director. There is no elimination of liability for (1) any breach of the
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code, or (4)
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation do not eliminate or limit the right of
the Company or its shareholders to seek injunctive or other equitable relief not
involving monetary damages.
The foregoing provision was included in the Company's Articles of
Incorporation to encourage qualified individuals to serve and remain as
directors of the Company. While the Company had not experienced any problems in
locating and retaining directors to date, it could experience difficulty in the
future if the Company's business activities increase and diversify. The
foregoing provision was included also to enhance the Company's ability to secure
liability insurance for its directors at a reasonable cost. The Board of
Directors believes that the limitation of liability provision enables the
Company to secure such insurance on terms more favorable than if such a
provision were not included in its Articles of Incorporation

INDEMNIFICATION
The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company provide that
the Company shall indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents to the
extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, which permits a
corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party or any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit or
proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, finds and settlements incurred by him in connection with any such
suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, and,
in the case of a derivative action on behalf of the corporation, permits a
corporation to indemnify any such person only against expenses and then only if
such person is not adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct.
The Company is not aware of any material pending or threatened action,
suit or proceeding involving any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
for which indemnification from the Company or the Banks may be sought.

EUFAULA, ALABAMA
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EUFAULA

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Eufaula BancCorp, Inc. and

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Eufaula BancCorp, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding company whose
business is presently conducted by its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Eufaula Bank & Trust Company in Eufaula, Alabama and First American
Bank of Walton County (First American Bank) in Santa Rosa Beach,
Florida. The Banks provide a full range of banking services to
individual and corporate customers in the primary market areas
described above. The Banks are subject to the regulations of certain
Federal and state agencies and are periodically examined by certain
regulatory authorities.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions
and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to
generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within
the financial services industry. In preparing the financial
statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the
date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash on hand, cash items in process of collection, and amounts due
from banks are included in cash and cash equivalents.
The Company maintains amounts due from banks which, at times, may
exceed Federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any
losses in such accounts.
F-7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
SECURITIES
Securities are classified based on management's intention on the date
of purchase. Securities which management has the intent and ability to
hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and reported at
amortized cost. All other debt securities are classified as available
for sale and carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and
losses included in stockholders' equity net of tax. Marketable equity
securities are carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and
losses included in stockholders' equity.
Interest and dividends on securities, including amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts, are included in interest income.
Realized gains and losses from the sales of securities are determined
using the specific identification method.
LOANS
Loans are carried at their principal amounts outstanding less unearned
income and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income on loans is
credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding.
Loan origination fees and certain direct costs of most loans are
recognized at the time the loan is recorded. Because net origination
loan fees and costs are not material, the results of operations are
not materially different than the results which would be obtained by
accounting for loan fees and costs in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management
believes to be adequate to absorb potential losses in the loan
portfolio. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance
is based on an evaluation of the portfolio, past loan loss experience,
current economic conditions, volume, growth, composition of the loan
portfolio, and other risks inherent in the portfolio. In addition,
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses, and may
require the Company to record additions to the allowance based on
their judgment about information available to them at the time of
their examinations.

<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
LOANS (CONTINUED)
The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in
management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as
they become due. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to
the extent cash payments are received.
A loan is impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to
collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the
terms of the loan agreement. Individually identified impaired loans
are measured based on the present value of payments expected to be
received, using the contractual loan rate as the discount rate.
Alternatively, measurement may be based on observable market prices
or, for loans that are solely dependent on the collateral for
repayment, measurement may be based on the fair value of the
collateral. If the recorded investment in the impaired loan exceeds
the measure of fair value, a valuation allowance is established as a
component of the allowance for loan losses. Changes to the valuation
allowance are recorded as a component of the provision for loan
losses.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-
line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Cost in excess of net assets acquired resulting from a bank
acquisition accounted for as a purchase transaction is being amortized
over twenty-five (25) years on a straight-line basis.
OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED
Other real estate owned represents properties acquired through
foreclosure. Other real estate owned is held for sale and is carried
at the lower of the recorded amount of the loan or fair value of the
properties less estimated selling costs. Any write-down to fair value
at the time of transfer to other real estate owned is charged to the
allowance for loan losses. Subsequent gains or losses on sale and any
subsequent adjustment to the value are recorded as other expenses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
Profit-sharing plan costs are funded as accrued and are based on a
percentage of individual employee's salary, not to exceed the amount
that can be deducted for Federal income tax purposes.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred taxes. Current
income tax provisions approximate taxes to be paid or refunded for the
applicable year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized on
the temporary differences between the bases of assets and liabilities
as measured by tax laws and their bases as reported in the financial
statements. Deferred tax expense or benefit is then recognized for the
change in deferred tax assets or liabilities between periods.
Recognition of deferred tax balance sheet amounts is based on
management's belief that it is more likely than not that the tax
benefit associated with certain temporary differences, tax operating
loss carryforwards, and tax credits will be realized.
The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated income tax
return. Each entity provides for income taxes based on its
contribution to income taxes (benefits) of the consolidated group.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding. All per share amounts for prior periods have
been adjusted to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split effected in the form
of a 100% stock dividend effective December 10, 1996.

NOTE 5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The subsidiary banks have noncontributory profit-sharing plans
covering all employees, subject to certain minimum age and service
requirements. The contribution for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995 was $72,383 and $67,700, respectively.
The Company provides a nonqualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
including employees of both subsidiary banks. The primary purpose is
to enable the employees to participate in the ownership of the
Company. An employee who has been employed on a full time basis for
one year or more is eligible for the Plan. Employees can contribute
from five to seven percent of their compensation, depending on years
of service. The banks contribute an amount equal to 50% of the
employee's contribution. Contributions are used to purchase shares of
Eufaula BancCorp, Inc. common stock since the Company adopted the Plan
as part of the merger agreement. The contribution for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $14,813 and $13,187, respectively.
The Company has a nonqualified Stock Purchase Plan for directors. The
primary purpose is to enable the directors to participate in the
ownership of the Company. All directors are eligible for the Plan. A
director can contribute in increments of $50 not to exceed $200 per
month. The Banks contribute an amount equal to 50 percent of the
director's contribution. Contributions to the Plan are used to
purchase shares of Eufaula BancCorp, Inc. common stock. The
contributions for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were
$16,800 and $5,400, respectively.
NOTE 6. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
During 1996, Eufaula Bank & Trust Company modified its indexed
deferred compensation plan for certain executive officers and
directors. The Plan is designed to provide supplemental retirement
benefits and supersedes the existing deferred compensation plan. As a
result of the modification, transactions resulted in a net decrease in
expense of $32,636 in 1996. In 1995, the Bank charged $48,823 to
expense for the deferred compensation plan.

NOTE 8. STOCK OPTIONS
Prior to 1995, the Company entered into or assumed liability for
various nonqualified stock option agreements with key employees.
During 1994, the Company adopted the 1994 Stock Option Plan whereby
the Company may grant options to certain key employees to purchase up
to 400,000 shares of the Company's $1 par value common stock at an
option price of $6 per share. During 1996, the Plan was amended to
include the directors of the Company. As of December 31, 1996, options
had been granted to five key employees to purchase a total of 266,000
shares.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In the normal course of business, the Company has entered into off-
balance-sheet financial instruments which are not reflected in the
financial statements. These financial instruments include commitments
to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial
instruments are included in the financial statements when funds are
disbursed or the instruments become payable. These instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the balance sheet.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance
by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to
extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the
contractual amount of those instruments. A summary of the Company's
commitments is as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
DECEMBER 31,
-------------------------
1996 1995
----------- -----------
<S> <C> <C>
Commitments to extend credit $ 7,971,877 $ 8,770,157
Loans sold with recourse 1,908,879 1,465,624
Standby letters of credit 1,390,239 1,273,460
----------- -----------
$11,270,995 $11,509,241
=========== ===========
</TABLE>
Commitments to extend credit 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. The credit risk involved in issuing these financial
instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending
loans to customers. The Company evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit,
is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral
held varies but may include real estate and improvements, crops,
marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and
personal property.
F-19
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================
NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the
Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private
borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of
credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. Collateral held varies as specified above and
is required in instances which the Company deems necessary.
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various
legal proceedings. In the opinion of management of the Company, any
liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.
Eufaula Bank & Trust Company leases a small tract of land from the
Chairman of the Board and a relative. The lease provides for a monthly
rental of $2,154. It was recomputed in 1996 and will be recomputed
again in 2001 based on the change in the Consumer Price Index. The
lease is accounted for as an operating lease and the total rental
expense included in the consolidated statements of income for each of
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $25,848.
NOTE 10. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT
The Company's subsidiaries make agricultural, agribusiness,
commercial, residential and consumer loans to customers primarily in
Eufaula, Alabama and Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. A substantial portion
of the Company's customers' abilities to honor their contracts is
dependent on the business economy in the above areas.
Fifty-eight percent (58%) of the Company's loan portfolio is
concentrated in real estate loans, of which 9% consists of
construction loans. A substantial portion of these loans are secured
by real estate in the Company's primary market area. In addition, a
substantial portion of the other real estate owned is located in those
same markets. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of the loan
portfolio and the recovery of the carrying amount of other real estate
owned are susceptible to changes in market conditions in the Company's
primary market area. The other significant concentrations of credit by
type of loan are set forth in Note 3.

NOTE 11. REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of
dividends that may be declared without prior regulatory approval. At
December 31, 1996, approximately $1,189,300 of retained earnings were
available for dividend declaration without regulatory approval.
The Company and the Banks are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and
possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial
statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Banks must
meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of
the assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and
Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk
weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts
and ratios of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of
Tier I capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December
31, 1996, the Company and the Banks meet all capital adequacy
requirements to which it is subject.
As of December 31, 1996, the most recent notification from the FDIC
categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, the Banks must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following
table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that
management believes have changed the Banks' category.

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments. In
cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are
based on estimates using discounted cash flow methods. Those methods
are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the
discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the
derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to
independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in
immediate settlement of the instrument. The use of different
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts. Also, the fair value estimates presented herein are based on
pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 1996
and 1995. Such amounts have not been revalued for purposes of these
financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current
estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts
presented herein.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:
CASH, DUE FROM BANKS, AND FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD:
The carrying amounts of cash, due from banks, and Federal funds sold
approximate their fair value.
AVAILABLE FOR SALE AND HELD TO MATURITY SECURITIES:
Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices. The
carrying values of equity securities with no readily determinable
fair value approximate fair values.
LOANS:
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no
significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying
values. For other loans, the fair values are estimated using
discounted cash flow methods, using interest rates currently being
offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit
quality. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using
discounted cash flow methods or underlying collateral values.
F-23
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
================================================================================
NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
DEPOSITS:
The carrying amounts of demand deposits, savings deposits, and
variable-rate certificates of deposit approximate their fair values.
Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated
using discounted cash flow methods, using interest rates currently
being offered on certificates.
OTHER BORROWINGS:
The carrying amounts of Federal funds purchased and securities sold
under agreements to repurchase approximate their fair value.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS:
Fair values of the Company's off-balance sheet financial instruments
are based on fees charged to enter into similar agreements. However,
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit do not
represent a significant value to the Company until such commitments
are funded. The Company has determined that these instruments do not
have a distinguishable fair value and no fair value has been
assigned.
The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments
were as follows:
