                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.   Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Community Trust
Financial Services Corporation (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Community Trust Bank (the Bank), Metroplex Appraisals, Inc. (Metroplex), and
Community Loan Company (CLC). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Effective May 16, 1997, the
Company entered into a joint venture with JRH Diversified, Inc. to establish a
non-bank subsidiary, Cash Transactions, LLC (CashTrans) that engages in the
business of providing retail establishments with automated teller machines that
dispense cash or cash equivalents. The Company owns 49% of the equity in Cash
Trans which is treated as an unconsolidated subsidiary for financial reporting
purposes, and, accordingly, the Company's interest is reflected in the
consolidated financial statements at its proportionate share. The financial data
of the Company is not significantly affected by the operations of CashTrans.

The consolidated financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement
of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2000 and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods covered herein. All such adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.

2.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     --------------------------------

In 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for hedging derivatives and
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts. It requires the fair value
recognition of derivatives as assets or liabilities in the financial statements.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000, and initial application of the statement must be made as of
the beginning of the quarter. Management believes the adoption of SFAS No. 133
will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operation or liquidity.

3.   Earnings Per Share
     ------------------

Net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period while the effects of potential common shares
outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share. The
average market price during the year is used to compute equivalent shares. The
reconciliation of the amounts used in the computation of both "net earnings per
share" and "net earnings per share - assuming dilution" for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, and the six months ended June 30, 2000
and June 30, 1999 are as follows:

Item 2.
           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

                 For the Six Month Period Ended June 30, 2000

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations analyzes the material changes in the consolidated balance sheets and
statements of earnings presented herein for Community Trust Financial Services
Corporation (the Company). The consolidated financial information herein
includes the financial condition and results of operations, for all periods
presented, of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Community Trust
Bank (the Bank), and Metroplex Appraisals, Inc. (Metroplex), and Community Loan
Company (CLC). In May 1997, the Company entered into a joint venture with JRH
Diversified, Inc. to establish Cash Transactions, LLC (CashTrans) as another
non-bank subsidiary. The Company's 49% interest in CashTrans is treated as an
unconsolidated subsidiary for financial reporting purposes, and, accordingly,
the Company's interest is reflected in the consolidated financial statements at
its proportionate share.

Financial Condition
-------------------

At June 30, 2000, the Company had consolidated total assets of $146,478,719 as
compared to $131,742,794 at December 31, 1999. Stockholders' equity increased
approximately .50% to $14,837,217 or $6.21 per share at June 30, 2000, as
compared to stockholders' equity of $14,763,404 or $6.19 per share at December
31, 1999. Stockholders' equity increased in 2000 primarily as a result of the
Company's comprehensive income of $264,004. For the six months ended June 30,
2000, the Company's comprehensive income consisted of $364,861 in net earnings
and a $100,857 loss in other comprehensive income, which is composed of changes
in the unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale, net of tax.
Also affecting stockholders' equity were dividends of $95,643 which were paid on
April 7, 2000, and a dividend payment of $95,643 which was declared by the
Company on June 20, 2000 to be paid on July 14, 2000. The Company's net interest
income increased 13.80% to $3,618,467 for the period ended June 30, 2000, as
compared to $3,179,599 for the period ended June 30, 1999. The Company's net
earnings decreased 33.19% from $546,077 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
to $364,861 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, while its basic earnings per
share (based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
year) decreased from $0.24 to $0.15. This decrease in earnings as compared to
the growth in net interest income was attributable primarily to a 31.50%
increase in noninterest expense that resulted largely from an increase of
$571,000 in the Bank's non-interest expenses which is primarily related to
salary expenses incurred due to the growth in locations and assets of the Bank.
Additionally, an increase of $379,050 in noninterest expenses of CLC was due to
the addition of seven offices in 1999. Management is actively seeking
opportunities to decrease these overhead expenses while increasing sources of
noninterest income in order to increase net earnings of the Company.

Gross loans during the first six months of 2000 increased $12,984,225 or 14.49%
over the total gross loans at December 31, 1999, as compared to an increase of
$10,357,478, or 13.91%, for the

                                  Page 8 of 16
<PAGE>

same six month period ended June 30, 1999. Management believes that the increase
in loan growth for 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999 was due primarily
to an increase in the Bank's lending personnel, and to the Bank's continued
expansion of its lending market into Cobb County, Georgia. In 1998, the Bank
established a loan production office in Cobb County for the purpose of
generating commercial and real estate loans. The Bank has since increased its
marketing efforts in Cobb County by opening one full-service branch in early
1999 and another branch in January 2000. The Bank has experienced success in
penetrating the Cobb market, attracting new borrowers who often bring full-
service relationships with their business. Management anticipates continued loan
growth at the Bank for the remainder of 2000 primarily due to its increased
marketing efforts in adjacent counties such as Cobb and Douglas. Management
continues to strive for increased loan volume while meeting the criteria set by
its loan policy.

During the first six months of 2000, CLC sold assets related to its consumer
finance office in Griffin, Georgia, because Griffin is located outside CLC's
target geographic market area. These assets primarily consisted of $113,363 in
loans. CLC presently operates from ten relatively small offices. Consequently,
its gross loans, totaling approximately $4,170,910 at June 30, 2000, or 4.07% of
the Company's gross loans, do not significantly affect the financial data
analyzed. Although management anticipates growth in CLC's total loans,
management anticipates that CLC will have only a minimal impact on the Company's
balance sheet.

The Bank's increase in gross loans for the first six months of 2000 was funded
primarily through an increase in deposits. Total deposits during the first six
months of 2000 increased approximately $8,643,844 or 8.28%, to $113,056,108 at
June 30, 2000 as compared to $104,412,264 at December 31, 1999. This increase in
total deposits was due primarily to the Bank's penetration into the Cobb County
market area through its facilities in that county. Additionally, the Bank has
begun an Internet branch where new customers may open a deposit account with
little concern about geographic location. The Bank has implemented stringent
security measures in order to provide the ease of Internet banking while
maintaining safety measures deemed necessary by management. The Bank also
subscribes to a service called QwickRate, which allows the Bank to publish its
rates on certificates of deposits over an electronic billboard that may attract
interested depositors throughout the U. S. The Bank may choose to seek deposits
through this alternative source of funds if management determines that the
choice meets the Company's asset and liability strategies. Management of the
Bank sets the rates to be offered, which have been slightly higher than the
rates paid on core deposits. The Bank utilized this service, selling $297,000 in
these time deposits during the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Management is
monitoring core deposits and customer relationships in an effort to maintain
overall deposit growth. The Bank also borrowed $5,000,000 from the Federal Home
Loan Bank during the first six months of 2000, which is collateralized by
securities held in the Bank's investment portfolio. Management has chosen to
employ this investment growth strategy in order to maximize the Bank's earnings
opportunities over the next five years, while maintaining a conservative risk
position.

The Company holds $26,683,499, or 18.22% of its total assets, in securities
consisting of bonds issued by the U. S. Treasury, U. S. Government agencies, or
state and county municipalities. Typically, the securities are held as available
for sale so that they may be a source of liquidity while producing income for
the Company. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
115, securities that will be held for indefinite periods of time are accounted
for at market value, thereby creating a component of stockholders' equity for
the unrealized gains or losses on securities, net of deferred taxes. The
aggregate unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, appears as accumulated other
comprehensive income on the Company's balance sheet. Unrealized loss on
securities, net of tax, was $285,656 as of June 30, 2000, as compared to an
unrealized loss, net of tax, of $184,800 as of December 31, 1999, which created
a net loss of $100,857 in other comprehensive income for the six months ended
June 30, 2000. Changes in these unrealized gains or losses are due to market
value fluctuations, which may be caused by changes in market rates, changes in
the slope of the yield curve, or other changes in the bond market. Management
reviews market risk in the securities portfolio on a monthly basis to ensure
that risk is maintained at acceptable levels.

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

Net Interest Income

The Company's net interest income increased approximately 13.80% to $3,618,467
for the period ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $3,179,599 for the period
ended June 30, 1999. Interest income for the first six months of 2000 was
$6,194,902, representing an increase of $1,370,639, or 28.41%, over the same
period in 1999. This increase in interest income occurred primarily due to a
$24,120,896, or 23.47%, increase in average earning assets for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. Interest expense for
the first six months of 2000 increased $931,771, or 56.65% as compared to the
same period in 1999. This increase in interest expense occurred primarily due to
a $28,268,279, or 34.86%, increase in average interest-bearing deposits and
other interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to the same period in 1999.

The Company continues to seek opportunities to maintain its net interest margin
(net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets). Average
earning assets for the period ended June 30, 2000 were $126,911,571, having a
weighted average yield of 9.79%, resulting in a net interest margin of 5.72%.
This compares to average earning assets for the period ended June 30, 1999 of
$102,790,675, having a weighted average yield of 9.46%, resulting in a net
interest margin of 6.24%. The decrease in net interest margin is attributable
primarily to an increase in the Company's cost of funds from 4.09% in 1999 to
4.72% in 2000.

Provision for Loan Losses
-------------------------

The Company loses some interest income due to non-performing assets, defined as
loans placed on non-accrual status, accruing loans which are contractually past
due ninety days or more, real

                                 Page 10 of 16
<PAGE>

estate acquired through foreclosure, and property acquired through repossession.
Management considers the Company's level of non-performing assets to be at an
acceptable level. The Company's non-performing assets totaled approximately
$915,701, or 0.63% of the Company's total assets as of June 30, 2000, as
compared to $2,112,893, or 1.77% of the Company's total assets as of June 30,
1999. The decrease in non-performing assets from 1999 to 2000 was attributable
primarily to a decrease in the Bank's non-performing assets. At June 30, 1999,
the Bank had six loans to one borrower totaling $985,147 on non-accrual status,
which were subsequently collected with no loss to the Bank other than collection
costs. The Bank had two restructured loans totaling $102,054 as of June 30,
2000, as compared to two loans totaling $105,119 as of June 30, 1999. Management
considers the totals of delinquent and non-performing assets at the Bank and CLC
to be at acceptable levels at this time; however, factors such as a downturn in
the local economy could cause levels of such assets to rise.

The Georgia Department of Banking and Finance (the "Department"), the Bank's
primary regulatory authority, requires the Bank to maintain a loan loss
allowance of not less than one percent of all outstanding loans. This allowance
is used to cover future loan losses. The Company's provision for loan losses was
$333,566 for the period ended June 30, 2000, as compared to $301,059 for the
period ended June 30, 1999. The Company's loan loss allowance was $1,561,931, or
1.52% of outstanding loans, as of June 30, 2000. No material loss is anticipated
on non-accrual or restructured loans, therefore no specific reserves or
writedowns were considered necessary by management as of June 30, 2000.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income, consisting of service charges on deposits, appraisal fees,
credit life insurance commissions, securities gains, loss in CashTrans and other
miscellaneous income, increased $265,875, or 29.67%, during the first six months
of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. The increase in non-interest
income resulted primarily from (i) a gain on the sale of stock held in Bankers'
Bank of $154,814, and (ii) an increase of $111,324 in insurance commissions
collected which is primarily due to the growth of CLC's customer base, and (iii)
an increase of $67,173 in miscellaneous income primarily due to a gain
recognized on the Bank's sale of certain fixed assets and net increases in the
cash surrender value of life insurance.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expenses, consisting of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy
and other miscellaneous expenses, increased $954,135, or 31.50%, during the
first six months of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. The increase in
non-interest expense is attributable primarily to an increase in salaries and
employee benefits caused by the Company's need for additional human resources
due to the growing number of locations to be staffed for the Bank and CLC, as
well as routine salary increases. Salaries and employee benefits increased
$688,521, or 41.80%, for the period ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the same
period in 1999. Occupancy expense increased by approximately $159,692, or
35.38%, for the period ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the same period in
1999, primarily due to increases in

                                 Page 11 of 16
<PAGE>

expenses associated with the Bank's addition of a full service branch in Cobb
County, and to CLC's addition of five offices in June 1999. Other operating
expense increased by approximately $105,922, or 11.39%, for the period ended
June 30, 2000, as compared to the same period in 1999, primarily due to general
cost increases and the asset growth experienced by the Company. Management
continues to seek opportunities to reduce expenses related to salaries and
benefits and occupancy in order to improve net earnings of the Company
throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2000.

Capital

The Company is subject to regulatory capital requirements imposed by the
Department and by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Under
federal law, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain a ratio of total
capital to risk weighted assets of at least 8.0%, of which at least one-half
must be so-called Tier 1 capital. Under applicable federal regulations and
interpretations thereof, the Bank's ratio of total capital to risk weighted
assets at June 30, 2000, was 10.69%, and its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk
weighted assets was 9.55%. Under applicable federal regulations and
interpretations thereof, the Company's ratio of total capital to risk weighted
assets at June 30, 2000, was 13.86%, and its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk
weighted assets was 12.60%. Additionally, under federal law, all but the most
highly rated banks and bank holding companies are required to maintain a minimum
ratio of Tier 1 capital to total average assets (Tier 1 leverage ratio) of 4.0%
to 5.0%, including the most highly rated banks and bank holding companies that
are anticipating or experiencing significant growth. Three percent is the
minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio required for the most highly rated banks and bank
holding companies with no plans to expand. The Bank exceeds its Tier 1 leverage
ratio requirement with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.52% as of June 30, 2000. The
Company also exceeds its Tier 1 leverage ratio requirement with a Tier 1
leverage ratio of 9.98% as of June 30, 2000. Through its policy of controlled
growth, the Company intends to maintain capital in excess of the required
minimum in order to support future growth.

Liquidity

Liquidity represents the Company's ability to meet both loan commitments and
deposit withdrawals. Liquidity is monitored monthly by management in order to
ensure compliance with the Bank's policy of maintaining adequate liquidity. The
Bank relies primarily on deposit gathering in order to fund its lending and
investing activities. In addition, the Company obtains funds from loan principal
repayments, proceeds from sales of loan participations and investment
securities, and other borrowings. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source
of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and sales of loan participations
and investment securities are significantly influenced by prevailing interest
rates, economic conditions and the Company's asset and liability management
strategies. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for
reductions in the availability of other sources of funds or on a longer term
basis to support expanded lending activities and for other general business
purposes.

<PAGE>

The Bank maintains two lines of credit to borrow fed funds that total $5,300,000
in order to enhance liquidity. At June 30, 2000, the Bank had no funds borrowed
on either of these lines of credit. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Atlanta and borrowings are also available through that
relationship. The amount of credit available from the Federal Home Loan Bank
fluctuates based on criteria set by that institution concerning the Bank's
portfolio of loans secured by housing for one to four families. As of June 30,
2000, the Bank had $5,500,000 in borrowings outstanding under this facility, and
no additional borrowings are available based on the Bank's loan portfolio. At
June 30, 2000, the Bank had also borrowed $5,000,000 from the Federal Home Loan
Bank, which is collateralized by securities held in the Bank's investment
portfolio. Management has chosen to employ this investment growth strategy in
order to maximize the Bank's earnings opportunities over the next five years,
while maintaining a conservative risk position.

The Company has a $3,500,000 revolving credit facility with The Bankers Bank,
Atlanta, Georgia, which is intended to enhance the Company's liquidity. As of
June 30, 2000, the Company had $400,000 borrowed under this facility.
Additionally, CLC established a $1,500,000 revolving credit facility with The
Bankers Bank in July 1999, which is intended to provide a source of funds for
the lending activities of that subsidiary. As of June 30, 2000, CLC had $990,000
in borrowed funds outstanding under this facility. As of July 1999, the
operations of CashTrans are funded principally through a $1,000,000 credit
facility with The Bankers Bank. As of June 30, 2000, CashTrans had $775,000 in
borrowed funds outstanding under this facility. Under these revolving credit
facilities with The Bankers Bank, interest only is due and payable on the first
business day of each calendar quarter. The Company's credit facility (i) accrues
interest at a floating rate equal to the "prime" rate of interest as published
from time to time in The Wall Street Journal minus 1%, and (ii) the principal
                     -----------------------
shall be paid in ten annual installments beginning July 2003. CLC's and
CashTrans' credit facilities (i) accrue interest at a floating rate equal to the
prime rate minus 0.75%, and (ii) are due in full on July 1, 2002. Amounts
outstanding under the three credit facilities are guaranteed by the Company and
collateralized by the stock in the Bank. CLC's loan is also collateralized by
its loan receivables. CashTrans' loan is personally guaranteed by James R.
Henderson, the principal of JRH Diversified, Inc.
