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,"

                                        8

<PAGE>

"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 September  30, 2000,  and December 31,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999
----

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

Cash and cash equivalents  decreased  $3,759,  or 21.1%, to $14,078 at September
30, 2000, from $17,837 at December 31, 1999. This decrease was primarily related
to a decrease in deposits and an increase in loans for the same period.

Securities  available-for-sale and held-to-maturity  decreased $4,189, or 13.4%,
to $27,019 at September 30, 2000,  primarily due to repayments,  sales and calls
of $6,158 less purchases totaling $1,847.

Loans  receivable,  net, at September 30, 2000,  were  $117,015,  an increase of
$2,611,  or 2.3%,  from  $114,404 at December  31,  1999.  The increase in loans
receivable,  net, was primarily due to an increase in the  origination of mostly
adjustable-rate mortgage loans that were retained in the Banks' portfolios.

The Company's  consolidated allowance for loan losses decreased slightly to $982
at September  30, 2000,  from $1,038 at December 31, 1999.  This decrease of $56
was due to a provision of $96 offset by net charge-offs  over recoveries of $40.
Nonperforming  loans,  which  included  nonaccruing  loans  and  accruing  loans
delinquent  ninety days or more at September 30, 2000,  increased to $2,606,  or
2.23% of loans receivable,  net, from $2,027, or 1.77% of loans receivable,  net
at December 31, 1999.  At September 30, 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 $1,148 at September  30,  2000,  an increase of $439 from
December 31, 1999,  primarily as a result of foreclosures  totaling $702, net of
sales of $193 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

Deposits  decreased  $5,909,  or 3.9%, to $145,670 at September  30, 2000,  from
$151,579 at December 31, 1999. The decrease in deposits was primarily the result
of the maturity of certificates of deposit  generated in special  programs which
are no longer offered by the Banks. Some rate sensitive funds were not retained.

The Company had  stockholders'  equity of $19,839 as of September  30, 2000,  an
increase of $859,  or 4.5%,  from $18,980 as of December  31, 1999.  The primary
components of the change were net income for the nine months ended September 30,
2000, of $1,208, less dividends of $.28 per share, totaling $705.

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  September  30,  2000,  the  Banks  had
commitments  to originate and fund loans of $8.7 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 September 30, 2000, was 11.2%,
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 September 30, 2000.

As of September  30,  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.

Results of Operations - Comparison of the Three Months Ended  September 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and 1999
--------

Net income for the three months ended  September 30, 2000, was $387, an increase
of $9, or 2.4%, from net income of $378 for the three months ended September 30,
1999.  The increase was  primarily  attributable  to an increase in net interest
income  resulting  from an increase in interest  rate  spread.  The  increase in
interest rate spread was the result of the Banks  maintaining  (on average) less
assets in short-term  liquid  investments,  coupled with an increase in yield on
adjustable  rate  loans,  and the  repricing  and  movement  of higher  yielding
certificates of deposit.

                                       10
<PAGE>

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

Total  interest  income  increased  $59, or 1.8%, to $3,343 for the three months
ended  September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the
average  yield  on   interest-earning   assets  to  8.8%,   from  8.0%  for  the
corresponding  quarter of the previous year, offset by a decrease in the average
balance of interest-earning assets.

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

Interest  expense  for the quarter  ended  September  30,  2000,  was $1,542,  a
decrease of $72, or 4.5%,  from $1,614 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
The  decrease  was  primarily  the result of a decrease  of 6.3% in the  average
balance of deposits for the three months ended  September 30, 2000,  compared to
the same  quarter a year ago,  offset by a slight  increase in the average  rate
paid on deposits  for the three months ended  September  30, 2000,  to 4.3% from
4.2% for the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

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

Net  interest  income for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  2000,  was $1,801
compared to $1,670 for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1999.  The average net
interest spread increased to 4.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
from  3.8% for the same  period  in the  prior  year.  The net  interest  margin
increased to 4.8% for the three months ended  September 30, 2000,  from 4.0% for
the three months ended September 30, 1999.

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

Management increased the Company's  consolidated  allowance for loan losses by a
provision of $39 during the quarter  ended  September  30,  2000,  compared to a
provision  of $29 for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1999.  The  Company's
consolidated  allowance for loan losses is based on  management's  evaluation of
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 September 30, 2000, decreased $6, to
$228, from the quarter ended September 30, 1999,  level of $234. The decrease in
noninterest  income was primarily  the result of a decrease in secondary  market
fees for loans sold due to decreased activity.

Noninterest Expense
-------------------

Noninterest  expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2000,  increased $95
to $1,372  from the quarter  ended  September  30,  1999,  level of $1,277.  The
increase in noninterest  expense was primarily  attributable to slight increases
in compensation expense and other operating expense.

                                       11
<PAGE>

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

The provision for income taxes  increased  $11, or 5.0%, to $231 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding  quarter in 1999. The
increased tax expense was due to the increase in pretax income.

Results of Operations - Comparison  of the Nine Months Ended  September 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and 1999
--------

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, was $1,208, an increase
of $186, or 18.2%, from net income of $1,022 for the nine months ended September
30, 1999. The increase was primarily  attributable  to an increase in the Banks'
interest rate spread. The increase in interest rate spread was the result of the
Banks  maintaining  (on average) less assets in short-term  liquid  investments,
coupled with an increase in yield on  adjustable  rate loans,  and the repricing
and movement of higher yielding certificates of deposit.

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

Total  interest  income  increased  $167, or 1.7%, to $9,870 for the nine months
ended  September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily the result of an increase
in the  average  yield on the  interest-earning  assets to 8.5%  during the nine
months  ended  September  30,  2000,  from 7.7%  during  the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1999.  The increase  was  partially  offset by a decrease in the
average  balance  of  interest-earning  assets  during  the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

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

Interest  expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,  decreased $447,
or 8.9%, to $4,592, from $5,039 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
This decrease was primarily  attributable  to a reduction of 9.4% in the average
balance of deposits for the nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  compared to
the same period a year ago.  The average  rate paid on deposits was 4.1% for the
nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999.

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

Net interest  income for the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000,  increased
$614, or 13.2%,  to $5,278,  from $4,664 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999. This increase was due primarily to an increase in the average net interest
spread to 4.4% for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000,  from 3.6% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. The net interest margin  increased to 4.5%
in the nine months ended  September 30, 2000, from 3.7% in the nine months ended
September 30, 1999.

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

The Company's  consolidated  allowance for loan losses is based on  management's
evaluation  of losses  inherent in the loan  portfolios.  Among  other  factors,
management  considers  historical loss experience,  current economic conditions,
distribution of the loan portfolios by risk class and the estimated value of the
underlying collateral. The allowance for loan losses was increased by provisions
totaling $96 for the nine

months ended September 30, 2000.  These provisions were recorded to maintain the
allowance  for loan  losses at an  adequate  level  based on  management's  best
estimates.

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

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, totaled $667 as
compared to $703 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1999.  The decrease in
noninterest  income was primarily  the result of a decrease in secondary  market
fees for loans sold due to decreased activity.

Noninterest Expense
-------------------

Noninterest  expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2000,  increased
$256 to $3,924  from the 1999  level of  $3,668.  The  increase  in  noninterest
expense is primarily  attributable to slight  increases in compensation  expense
and other operating expense.

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

The provision for income taxes  increased  $126, or 21.3%,  to $717 for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  2000,  as compared to $591 for the  corresponding
period of the prior year.  The  increased tax expense was due to the increase in
pretax income.
