market price of the common stock.

3. SEGMENT DISCLOSURE:
   ------------------

The holding company is considered a separate reportable segment from the banking
operations  since it does not  offer  products  or  services  or  interact  with
customers,  but  does  meet  the  quantitative  threshold  as  outlined  in  the
accounting  standards.  The Company's  segment  disclosure is as follows for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

ITEM 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,  changes in the general  economy,  and
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 March 31, 2000, and December 31, 1999
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Interest-bearing  deposits and fed funds sold  increased  $5,727,  or 48.9%,  to
$17,432 at March 31,  2000.  The  increase is  primarily  the result of a slight
decrease in loans, securities and cash.

Securities  available  for sale and held to maturity  decreased in the aggregate
$668,  or 2.1%, to $30,540 at March 31, 2000,  primarily  due to maturities  and
repayments.

Loans receivable,  net, at March 31, 2000, were $113,887, a decrease of $517, or
0.5%, from $114,404 at December 31, 1999. The decrease in loans receivable, net,
was primarily due to a slight decrease in demand for  adjustable-rate  loans not
sold into the secondary market.

The Company's  consolidated allowance for loan losses decreased slightly to $984
at March 31, 2000, from $1,038 at December 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily
due  to  charge-offs  over  recoveries  of  $83  net  of  a  provision  of  $29.
Nonperforming  loans at March 31, 2000,  increased to $2,723,  or 2.39% of loans
receivable,  from $2,027, or 1.77% of loans receivable, at December 31, 1999. At
March 31,2000,  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 $879 at March 31, 2000,  an increase of $170 from December
31,  1999,  as a result of the  addition  of several  properties  net of several
dispositions.

Deposits increased $1,886, or 1.2%, to $153,465 at March 31, 2000, from $151,579
at December 31, 1999.  The increase is primarily the result of  fluctuations  in
checking and savings account balances.

The  Company  had  stockholders'  equity of  $19,198  as of March 31,  2000,  an
increase of $218,  or 1.1%,  from $18,980 as of December 31, 1999.  The increase
was  primarily  attributable  to net income for the three months ended March 31,
2000, of $385,  net of dividends of $.14 per share.  Included in such  dividends
was a special  dividend of $.07 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 March 31, 2000, the Banks had commitments
to originate and fund loans of $8.6 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 March 31,2000,  was 19%, 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 March 31,
2000.

As of March  31,  2000,  management  was not  aware  of any  trends,  events  or
uncertainties  that will have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect
on the Company's or the Banks' liquidity, capital resources or operations.
<PAGE>
Results of Operations - Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and
1999
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000,  was $385,  an increase of
$74,  or 23.8%,  from net income of $311 for the three  months  ended  March 31,
1999.  The  increase  was  primarily  attributable  to an increase in the Banks'
interest rate spread.

                                        9
<PAGE>
Interest Income
- ---------------

Total  interest  income  increased  $6, or 0.2%,  to $3,210 for the three months
ended March 31,  2000.  This  increase was  primarily  due to an increase in the
average yield on  interest-earning  assets to 8.2% from 7.5%.  This increase was
partially  offset by a decrease  in the  average  balance  of  interest-earnings
assets.

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

Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, was $1,518, a decrease of
$261, or 14.7%,  from $1,779 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.  The decrease
was  primarily  the result of a reduction  in average  rate paid to 4.0% for the
three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  compared  to 4.3% for the  corresponding
quarter of the previous year, in addition to a decrease in average balance.  The
decrease in the average  rate paid on  deposits is  primarily  the result of the
movement of rate-sensitive funds.

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

Net interest  income for the quarter  ended March 31, 2000,  increased  $267, or
18.7%,  to $1,692 from the quarter ended March 31, 1999,  level of $1,425.  This
increase  was due in part to an increase in the average net  interest  spread to
4.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to 3.2% for the same period a
year  ago.  The  increase  was  net of a  decrease  in the  average  balance  of
interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  liabilities  during  the  first
quarter of fiscal 2000  compared to the same period a year ago. The net interest
margin increased to 4.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

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

Management  increased  the  Company's  total  allowance  for  loan  losses  by a
provision of $29 during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The Banks'  allowances
for loan losses were based on management's  evaluation of possible losses 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 March 31, 2000,  decreased  $23, to
$216, from the March 31, 1999, level of $239. The decrease in noninterest income
is primarily the result of a decrease in secondary market fees for loans sold.

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

Noninterest expenses during the quarter ended March 31, 2000, increased $126, or
11.0%, to $1,273,  from the March 31, 1999,  quarter of $1,147. The increase was
attributable to slight increases in employee costs and other operating expenses.
<PAGE>
Income Taxes
- ------------

The provision for income taxes  increased $44, or 24.9%, to $221 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the  corresponding  quarter in the previous
year.  The  increased  tax  expense was due  primarily  to an increase in pretax
income from the same period a year ago.
