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 nine month period ended September
          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.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
          significant factors which have affected the financial position and
          operating results of the Company and its subsidiaries, Lanier National
          Bank and Lanier Data Corporation during the periods included in the
          accompanying consolidated financial statements.

          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          As of September 30, 1998, the liquidity ratio of the Bank, as
          determined under guidelines established by regulatory authorities, was
          satisfactory.

          At September 30, 1998, the capital ratios of the Company and the Bank
          were adequate based on regulatory minimum capital requirements. The
          minimum capital requirements and the actual capital ratios for the
          Company and the Bank are as follows:

As indicated in the above tables, the Company's net interest income has
increased by $163,000 and $639,000 for the three and nine month periods in 1998
as compared to the same periods in 1997. The Company's net interest margin
increased to 5.15% during the first nine 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 $40,000 and $100,000 for the three
and nine 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 $51,000. The
Company's allowance for loan losses to total loans amounted to 1.34% at
September 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 September 30, 1998 or December 31, 1997.

September 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 was virtually unchanged for the third quarter in 1998 as compared
to the same period in 1997. For the nine month period, other income increased by
$39,000 due to increased service charges of $17,000 and other miscellaneous
revenues of $22,000.

Other expenses increased for the three and nine month periods in 1998 as
compared to the same periods in 1997 by $84,000 and $161,000. Increased salaries
and employee benefits of $52,000 and $124,000 accounted for the majority of the
increase.

The Company's provision for income taxes increased by $19,000 and $131,000 for
the three and nine month periods in 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997
due to higher pre-tax income. The Company's effective tax rate increased to
29.9% for the first nine months of 1998 as compared to 29.5% for the first nine
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 has developed contingency
plans for its mission-critical systems. In the event that compliance efforts are
not effective, there could be a material negative impact upon the Company's
liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations.

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.
