NOTE 1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

           The consolidated financial information included herein is unaudited;
           however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely
           of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
           management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim
           periods.

           The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 
           1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
           the full year.


NOTE 2.    EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

           The following is a reconciliation of net income (the numerator) and
           weighted-average shares outstanding (the denominator) used in
           determining basic and diluted earnings per common share (EPS):

NOTE 3.    CURRENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS


           The adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for
           Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
           Liabilities" that became effective on January 1, 1998 did not have a
           material effect on the Company's financial statements.

           The adoption of SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", that
           became effective on January 1, 1998 required the Company to report
           comprehensive income in the Company's Statements of Income and
           Comprehensive Income.

           The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 133,
           "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS
           No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
           instruments, including certain derivative instruments imbedded in
           other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that all
           derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair
           value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivative
           instruments (gains and losses) depends on the intended use of the
           derivative. Designated uses are fair value hedges, cash flow hedges,
           and foreign currency hedges. The effective date of this statement is
           for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15,
           1999. The Company has not assessed the impact that this statement
           will have on the financial statements.

           There are no other recent accounting pronouncements that have had, or
           are expected to have, a material effect on the Company's financial
           statements.

As indicated in the above tables, the Company's net interest income has
increased by $245,000 and $477,000 for the three and six month periods in 1998
as compared to the same periods in 1997. The Company's net interest margin
increased to 5.21% during the first six months of 1998 as compared to 5.07% for
the previous year. These increases are due primarily to increases in average
interest-earning assets.

The provision for loan losses increased by $30,000 and $60,000 for the three and
six month periods in 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997. This increase
is due to net loan growth and increased net charge-offs of $31,000. The
Company's allowance for loan losses to total loans amounted to 1.27% at June 30,
1998 as compared to 1.23% at December 31, 1997. The allowance for loan losses is
maintained at a level that is deemed appropriate by management to adequately
cover all known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management's
evaluation of the loan portfolio includes a continuing review of loan loss
experience, current economic conditions which may affect the borrower's ability
to repay and the underlying collateral value. The Company had no other real
estate owned at June 30, 1998 or December 31, 1997.

Information with respect to nonaccrual, past due, and restructured loans at June
30, 1998 and 1997 is as follows:

</TABLE> 

It is the policy of the Bank to discontinue the accrual of interest income when,
in the opinion of management, collection of such interest becomes doubtful. This
status is accorded such interest when (1) there is a significant deterioration
in the financial condition of the borrower and full repayment of principal and
interest is not expected and (2) the principal or interest is more than ninety
days past due, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of
collection. The increase in loans contractually past due ninety days or more and
still accruing interest is due primarily to a real estate loan to a group of
family-related borrowers. Management believes that this loan does not meet
either of the criteria for discontinuance of interest accrual.

Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or
special mention that have not been included in the table above do not represent
or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will
materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources.
These classified loans do not 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.

Other income has increased for the three and six month periods in 1998 as
compared to the same periods in 1997 by $9,000 and $39,000. Increased service
charges of $8,000 and $19,000 and other miscellaneous revenues of $1,000 and
$20,000 accounted for the increases.

Other expenses increased for the three and six month periods in 1998 as compared
to the same periods in 1997 by $39,000 and $76,000. Increased salaries and
employee benefits of $44,000 and $71,000 accounted for the majority of the
increase.

The Company's provision for income taxes increased by $46,000 and $113,000 for
the three and six month periods in 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997
due to higher pre-tax income. The Company's effective tax rate decreased to
30.1% for the first six months of 1998 as compared to 30.2% for the first six
months of 1997.

Capability of Data Processing Software to Accommodate the Year 2000
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company relies upon computers for the daily conduct of their business and
for data processing generally. There is concern among industry experts that
commencing on January 1, 2000, computers will be unable to "read" the new year
and that there may be widespread computer malfunctions.

The Company has conducted a comprehensive review of its computer systems,
programs, applications, and other electronic components used in the operations
of the Company to identify the areas that should be affected by the Year 2000
issue, and has developed a plan to identify non-compliant components. This is a
continuing process as testing will be performed throughout the remainder of 1998
and 1999. Based on the review of computer and other components, management does
not believe the cost of compliance will be material to the Company's financial
statements, although there can be no assurances in this regard. Management also
believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with regulatory timetable
requirements regarding the year 2000 issue. Because the Company's data
processing subsidiary, Lanier Data Corporation, processes only for the Bank,
there is no additional Year 2000 risk associated with the providing of data
processing services to outside customers.

The Company is not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties, other
than the effect of events as described above, that will have or that are
reasonably likely to have a material effect on its liquidity, capital resources
or operations. The Company is also not aware of any current recommendations by
the regulatory authorities which, if they were implemented, would have such an
effect.
