                            EUFAULA BANCCORP, INC.
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.   Principles of Consolidation:

     The consolidated financial statements of Eufaula BancCorp, Inc. ("EBC")
include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
Southern Bank of Commerce, Eufaula, Alabama and First American Bank, Walton
County, Florida. All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated.

     The consolidated statements of condition as of March 31, 2000 and the
related consolidated statements of income for the three month period ended March
31, 2000 and 1999 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three
month period ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited; in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
statements are included.


2.   Results of Operations

     The results for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year of 2000. This report
should be read in conjunction with EBC's 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders for
a complete understanding of EBC's accounting policies and their effect on the
financial statements as a whole.


3.   Capital Accounts

     Basic EPS was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
shares of common stock outstanding of 2,625,273 for 1999 and 1998.  Diluted EPS
was computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average shares of
common stock outstanding and the effect of stock options outstanding.  The
effect of the stock options was to increase the weighted average number of
shares by 117,000 in 2000 and 131,000 in 1999.


4.   Comprehensive Income (Loss)

     In January, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting comprehensive
income and its components.  Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in
the equity of a business enterprise from transactions and other events and
circumstances, except those resulting from investments by owners and
distributions to owners.  The Company's comprehensive income, which includes net
income and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on securities available for
sale, net of tax, was $641 thousand and $136 thousand for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.


5.   Supplementary Data for Cash Flows

     Interest paid on notes payable during the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999 amounted to $22 thousand and $0 respectively.

Item 2.

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

     The following discussion and review of Eufaula BancCorp, Inc. ("EBC") and
its subsidiaries, Southern Bank of Commerce ("SBC") and First American Bank
("FAB"), focuses on the results from operations which are not otherwise apparent
from the consolidated financial statements.  Reference should be made to these
financial statements and the notes to the financial statements for an
understanding of this review and discussion.

Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------

     This 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements based on current
expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. The factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those we are projecting
include the following: general economic conditions; competitive factors and
pricing pressure; changes in product mix; changes in interest risks; and the
risk factors listed from time to time in the company's SEC reports, including
but not limited to the report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended March 31,
2000.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $550 million, or
$0.210 per share compared with $225 million, or $ 0.086 per share during the
same period in 1999. The annualized return on average assets from continuing
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was 0.81% and
0.46% respectively, while the annualized return on average equity was 11.24% and
4.75% respectively for the same periods.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

     Net interest income, the principal source of earnings, is the difference
between the income generated by earning assets and the total interest cost of
the funds obtained to carry them.  Net interest income, as referred to in this
discussion, is presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis, which adjusts for the
tax-exempt status of income earned on certain loans and investments.  The
reported interest income for the tax-free assets is increased by the amount of
tax savings less the nondeductible portion of interest expense incurred to
acquire the tax-free assets.  Net interest income is affected by variations in
both interest rates and the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-
bearing liabilities.

     On a tax equivalent basis, net interest income for the first three months
of 2000 was $2.9 million compared with $2.3 million in the first three months of
1999.  Net interest income also increased when compared with 1998.  This
increase in net interest income was primarily the result of higher loan volume
and increased income from nontaxable securities.  The net interest margin
through March 31, 2000 was 4.30% compared with 4.69% and 5.04% for the years
ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  EBC expects no material change
in the net interest margin through the remainder of 2000.

     EBC has debt of approximately $1million at March 31, 2000 and interest
expense associated with this debt totaled $22 thousand during the first three
months of 2000 compared with $ 0 during the same period in 1999.

     The following table is a comparison of the net interest margin:


                                     March 31,             December 31,

Loans and Leases
- ----------------

     EBC's gross loans and leases totaled $216.4 million at March 31, 2000
compared with $205.9 million at December 31, 1999. The Company has no foreign
loans or leases and it is the policy of the Company to avoid out of territory
loans.

     A sound credit policy combined with periodic and independent credit reviews
is the key factor of the credit risk management program.  All affiliate banks
operate under written loan policies that help maintain a consistent lending
function and provide sound credit decisions.  Credit decisions continue to be
based on the borrower's cash flow position and the value of the underlying
collateral, as well as other relevant factors.  Each bank is responsible for
evaluating its loans to identify those credits beginning to show signs of
deterioration so that prompt corrective action may be taken.  In addition, a
loan review staff operates independently of the affiliate banks.  This review
team performs periodic examinations of each bank's loans and related
documentation.  Results of these examinations are reviewed with the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, the management and board of the respective affiliate
banks and the Audit Committees.

     The following table lists those loans and leases by type which are on non-
accrual status; loans by type 90 days or more past due and still accruing;
renegotiated loans by type and loans transferred to other real estate:

     Management remains committed to reducing the level of non-performing assets
and to minimize future risks by continuous review of the loan portfolio.


Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses
- -----------------------------------

     The provision for loan losses represents management's evaluation of the
overall loan portfolio quality and loss experience.  During management's
periodic review of the provision throughout each quarter, the amount to be
provided is determined by the level of net charge-offs, the size of the loan
portfolio, non-performing assets, anticipated and current economic conditions
and specific reviews of performing and non-performing loans.

                                       8

     During the first three months 2000, EBC made provisions for loan losses of

Non-Interest Income
- -------------------

     Management continues to emphasize the growth of non-interest income in
providing new revenue to the income stream.  Future profitability depends upon
income derived from providing loan and deposit services, brokerage fees,
mortgage service fees and service charges on deposit accounts.

Excluding security gains and losses, non-interest income decreased approximately
$64 thousand when comparing 2000 with 1999 results.  EBC is focusing on non-
interest income revenues and opportunities to increase fee income.


Non-Interest Expense
- --------------------

     Control of non-interest expenses continues to be one of EBC's major
objectives. Non-interest expenses include salaries, employee benefits, occupancy
costs, equipment and other operating expenses:

Income Taxes
- ------------

     The effective tax rate of EBC for the three month period ended March 31,
2000 was 28% compared to 33% for the same period in 1999.


Capital and Liquidity
- ---------------------

     The assessment of capital adequacy depends primarily on a number of factors
which include asset quality, liquidity, stability of earnings, changing
competitive forces, economic conditions in the various markets served and
strength of management.  Management of capital focuses on achieving a rate of
return for shareholders while following guidelines set forth by bank regulators.

     EBC's equity capital totaled $19.99 million at March 31, 2000, compared to
the December 31, 1999 level of $19.47  million.  The growth and retention of
earnings continues to be EBC's primary source of additional capital.  Currently,
EBC does not have any plans for issuing subordinated notes and EBC has not
issued any new common or preferred stock during the past twelve months.

     The table presented below is a comparison of capital ratios:


                                        March 31,            December 31,

     The table presented below is a comparison of EBC's capital position with

Leverage Ratio                              6.73%               3.00%


Note:  Unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale have been excluded when
computing capital ratios.

     Liquidity management is concerned with meeting the cash requirements of
customers, including the withdrawal of funds by depositors or drawing down of
approved lines of credit and commitments by borrowers.  EBC is aided
significantly in meeting its short-term liquidity needs by its strong capital
position, its high rate of internal capital generation and its level of loan
loss reserves.


Dividend Policy
- ---------------

     EBC strives to maintain a balance between the retention of earnings for the
support of growth and expansion and a dividend payout that meets the required
return for investors.  EBC anticipates continuing its policy of regular cash
dividends, although there is no assurance as to future increases in dividends
because they are dependent upon future earnings, capital requirements and
economic conditions.

     The following table sets forth the dividend payout ratio for the last two
years and for the three months ended March 31, 2000:


                                      March 31,             Year Ended,
                                        2000              1999       1998
                                      --------          --------   --------

Dividend payout ratio                  21.48%            26.56%      45.71%


Asset - Liability Management
- ----------------------------

     EBC, like most financial institutions, provides for the relative stability
in profits and the control in interest rate risk through asset-liability
management.  An important element of asset-liability management is the analysis
and examination of the extent to which such assets and liabilities are interest
rate sensitive and by monitoring an institution's interest rate sensitivity gap.
An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific
time period if it will mature or reprice within that time period.  The interest
rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of
interest-earning assets expected to mature or reprice within a time period and
the amount of interest-bearing liabilities expected to mature or reprice within
that same time period.  A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest
rate sensitive liabilities maturing within a specific time frame exceeds the
amount of interest rate sensitive assets maturing within that same time frame.
During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap tends to result in an
increase in net interest income.  Whereas in a rising interest rate environment,
an institution with a negative gap could experience the opposite results.

     EBC continually monitors its asset-liability position in order to maximize
profits and minimize interest rate risk.  Additionally, EBC can reduce the
impact that changing interest rates have on earnings and adapt to changes in the
economic environment by closely monitoring its Statement of Condition.  There
have been no material changes in EBC's asset-liability position since December
31, 1999.
