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

Management's discussion and analysis includes certain forward-looking statements
addressing, among other things, the Company's prospects for earnings, asset
growth and net interest margin. Forward-looking statements are accompanied by,
and identified with, such terms as "anticipates," "believes," "expects,"
"intends," and similar phrases. Management's expectations for the Company's
future necessarily involve a number of assumptions and estimates. Factors that
could cause actual results to differ from the expectations expressed herein are:
substantial changes in interest rates, and changes in the general economy,
changes in the Company's strategies for credit-risk management, interest-rate
risk management and investment activities. Accordingly, any forward-looking
statements included herein do not purport to be predictions of future events or
circumstances and may not be realized.

Comparison of Financial Condition as of June 30, 1998, and March 31, 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------

All dollar amounts, except per share amounts, included hereafter in Management's
Discussion and Analysis are in thousands.

Fed funds increased $4,150, or 21.8%, to $23,200 at June 30, 1998. The increase
was primarily the result of funds received from the repayment of securities and
loans receivable. Funds are invested based on the needs of the Company and
opportunities in the market place.

Securities available for sale and held to maturity decreased in the aggregate
$4,782, or 16.9%, to $23,527 at June 30, 1998, primarily due to securities
totaling $5,204 maturing, being called prior to maturity or payments being
received, net of purchases totaling $499.

Loans receivable, net, at June 30, 1998, were $116,462, a decrease of $1,079, or
0.9%, from $117,541 at March 31, 1998. The decrease in loans receivable, net,
was primarily due to repayments and the origination of loans for sale in the
secondary market rather than for retention in the Banks' portfolios.

The Company's consolidated allowance for loan losses decreased slightly to
$1,065 at June 30, 1998, from $1,106 at March 31, 1998. This decrease was
primarily due to net charge-offs over recoveries of $70 net of a provision of
$29. Nonperforming loans at June 30, 1998, decreased slightly to $1,695, or
1.45%, of loans receivable from $1,735, or 1.48%, of loans receivable at March
31, 1998. At June 30, 1998, there were no material loans not included in
nonperforming loans which represented material credits about which management
was aware of any information which caused management to have serious doubts as
to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

Real estate owned was $844 at June 30, 1998, an increase of $179 from March 31,
1998, as a result of foreclosures on loans that had been nonperforming at March
31, 1998. Based on an evaluation of the properties, management does not believe
that the Company will suffer any material loss upon their disposition.

Deposits decreased $1,535, or 0.9%, to $161,324 at June 30, 1998, from $162,859
at March 31, 1998. The slight decrease in deposits was primarily the result of
variations in the balances of commercial accounts.

                                        7
<PAGE>
 
The Company had stockholders' equity of $17,798 as of June 30, 1998, an increase
of $165, or 0.9%, from $17,633 as of March 31, 1998. The increase was primarily
attributable to net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998, of $376,
net of dividends of $.1325 per share. Included in such dividend was a special
dividend of $.0625 per share, which was declared during the first quarter.

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

Traditionally, the Banks' principal sources of funds have been deposits,
principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and
proceeds from interest on and maturities of investments. In addition, First
Federal has borrowing ability from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta if the
need for additional funds arises. At June 30, 1998, the Banks had commitments to
originate and fund loans of $7.8 million. The Banks anticipate that they will
have sufficient funds available to meet their current commitments.

First Federal is required by regulation to maintain minimum levels of liquid
assets. The liquidity ratio of First Federal at June 30, 1998, was 23%, which
exceeded the applicable regulatory requirement.

Under applicable regulations, First Federal, First State and the Company are
each required to maintain minimum capital ratios. Set forth below are actual
capital ratios and the minimum regulatory capital requirements as of June 30,
1998.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997
- ----

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $376, a decrease of
$58, or 13.4%, from net income of $434 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.
The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the Banks' interest
rate spread because of a high liquidity position and costs incurred in
connection with the opening of a new First Federal branch in Vance, Alabama, in
July 1997. These items should contribute to future earnings and growth.

Interest Income
- ---------------

Total interest income decreased $31, or 0.9%, to $3,383 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the
average yield on interest-earning assets to 8.2%, from 8.3% for the
corresponding quarter of the previous year, net of a slight increase in the
average balance of interest-earnings assets.

Interest income on loans decreased $147, or 0.5%, to $2,705 during the three
months ended June 30, 1998, from $2,852 for the three months ended June 30,
1997. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the average balance
of loans for the three months ended July 31, 1998, as compared to the
corresponding quarter in the previous year. The decrease was net of an increase
in the average yield on loans to 9.1% for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
compared to 9.0% for the same period a year ago.

Interest and dividends on the securities portfolio decreased $69, or 14.7%, for
the three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in fiscal
1998. This decrease reflects an 11.3% decrease in the average balance of
securities in addition to a decrease in the average yield for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, compared to the same period a year ago.

Other interest income increased $185, or 196.8%, for the three months ended June
30, 1998, from $94 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase was
the result of 157.7% increase in the average balance of federal funds sold and
interest-bearing deposits plus an increase in average yield to 5.5% for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 4.8% for the corresponding quarter
of the previous year.

Interest Expense
- ----------------

Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, was $1,807, a decrease of
$17, or 0.9%, to $1,807 from the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The decrease was
primarily the result of a reduction in average yield to 4.7% for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 4.6% for the corresponding quarter of
the previous year, net of an increase in average balance.

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

Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, decreased $14, or 0.9%,
to $1,576 from the quarter ended June 30, 1997, level of $1,590. This decrease
was due in part to a decrease in the average net interest spread to 3.62% for
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from 3.64% for the first quarter of fiscal
1998. The decrease was net of a slight increase in the average balance of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities during the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to the first quarter of fiscal

                                        9

1998. The net interest margin decreased to 3.8% in the first quarter of fiscal
1999 from 3.9% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

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

Management increased the Company's total allowance for loan losses by a
provision of $29 during the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The Banks' allowances
for loan losses were based on management's evaluation of possible losses
inherent in the loan portfolio and consider, among other factors, prior years'
loss experience, economic conditions, distribution of portfolio loans by risk
class and the estimated value of the underlying collateral.

Noninterest Income
- ------------------

Noninterest income during the quarter ended June 30, 1998, decreased $25, to
$204, from the June 30, 1997, level of $229. The decrease was primarily related
to a decline in lease income resulting from the sale of property during the
third quarter of the previous year that was under lease until that time.

Noninterest Expenses
- --------------------

Noninterest expenses during the quarter ended June 30, 1998, increased $78 to
$1,185 from the June 30, 1997, level of $1,107. The increase in noninterest
expense was primarily the result of opening a new branch in Vance, Alabama, in
July 1997.

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

The provision for income taxes decreased $37, or 16.3%, to $190 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the corresponding quarter in 1997. The
decreased tax expense was due primarily to a decrease in pretax income from the
same period a year ago.

Year 2000
- ---------

The Company uses various software and related technologies in its business that
will be affected by the date change in the Year 2000. The date change will
require modifications to some software and computer systems so that dates beyond
December 31, 1999, will be properly recognized. The primary data processing
functions are through a third party processor. The Company believes that
upgrades, modifications or conversion of software planned by the Company and the
third party processor will properly address the Year 2000 issues.

The Company has applied both internal and external resources to the Year 2000
project. There was no specific expense associated with the Year 2000 project for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998, and such expense is not estimated to be
material in the fiscal year, although costs for improvements in technologies are
continually incurred in the normal course of business. The Banks are
communicating with customers regarding Year 2000 issues. The primary computer
functions are expected to be Year 2000 compliant by December 31, 1998.
