                           ACQUIRES TOWNE LAKE BRANCH
                             OF TUCKER FEDERAL BANK

     Crescent Banking Company announced today that Crescent's wholly-owned

     Crescent Bank now has four full-service branches. In addition to the new

was part of Crescent Bank's expansion into Cherokee County. Crescent Bank
expects to convert its Loan Production Office in Canton, Georgia into an
additional full-service branch during 1999.

     Don Boggus, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Crescent Bank,
said, "The acquisition of the Woodstock branch continues our growth in Cherokee
County. Crescent Bank welcomes the opportunity to serve the residents of
Cherokee County with our broad array of services. Following this acquisition,
the branch employees have become employees of Crescent Bank and will continue to
provide friendly, high quality service to branch customers. In addition, we feel
the expansion into the Cherokee County market will continue to enhance
shareholder value."

Georgia with assets of approximately $221 million. The Company's common stock is
listed for quotation on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol "CSNT".
