NOTE 1: Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the operations of FLAG Financial
Corporation ("FLAG" or "the Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First
Federal Savings Bank of LaGrange ("the Bank"). The interim consolidated
financial statements included herein are unaudited but reflect all adjustments
necessary to eliminate all significant intercompany balances and transactions
and such other adjustments and accruals which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and the
results of operation for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature. Certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current period's presentation. For the purpose
of comparison, information is included for prior periods. Financial information
for those periods including the financial statements, footnotes and independent
auditors' opinion contained in the Company's 1995 Annual Report should be read
in conjunction with these financial statements. The results of operations for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for a full year's operation.
NOTE 2: Investments
Investments are classified in three categories; held to maturity securities
(reported at amortized cost), trading securities (reported at fair value), and
available for sale securities (reported at fair value). Net unrealized gains or
losses on available for sale securities are excluded from income but reported in
a separate component of shareholder's equity. Net unrealized gains or losses on
trading securities are included in current earnings.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Applicable federal regulations required the Bank to maintain cash and eligible
short-term investment securities in an amount greater than or equal to 5% of net
withdrawable deposits and borrowings payable in one year or less. This
requirement is to help assure that funding is adequate to meet deposit
withdrawals, loan fundings and other short-term liquidity needs. The Bank's
liquidity position was 8.60% as of September 30, 1996.
The Bank's primary source of liquidity (funds) are deposits, loan repayments,
proceeds from the sale of loans and securities, Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta advances, Fed Funds Purchased, and earnings from investments.
Non-interest checking accounts continue to be a growing source of funds for the
Bank. The Bank's principle uses of funds are the origination of loans, the
purchase of mortgage-backed and investment securities, and for the repayment of
borrowings and advances. Primarily, funds have been used this quarter to fund
newly originated loans and to pay off FHLB advances.
The Consolidated Cash Flow Statements for the nine months ending September 30,
1996 and 1995 further outline the sources and uses of funds for this quarter.
An adequate level of capital is not only a regulated requirement, but is
necessary to provide the foundation for balance sheet expansion and protection
from future losses. The chart below reflects the Bank's capital as of September
30, 1996. As indicated in the following chart, FLAG and the Bank are
significantly above all capital levels which are considered necessary under
current industry standards and are required by regulatory agencies.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996
Total assets decreased approximately $3.19 million since December 31, 1995, from
$232,105,364 at December 31, 1995 to $228,914,437 at September 30, 1996. Total
liabilities decreased $2.64 million, from $211,407,148 at December 31, 1995 to
$208,765,013 at September 30, 1996. The decrease in assets resulted from the
sales and calls of investments and mortgage-backed securities, and these funds
were used to fund loans and pay down $10.61 million of Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta advances. Nonperforming assets, which include the Bennett Funding
leases, were $6.6 million at September 30, 1996,

versus $2.2 million at December 31, 1995. Excluding Bennett Funding,
nonperforming assets would have been $1.9 million, a 14% reduction from the
level at year-end 1995. Reserves for losses were $4.4 million, up from $1.3
million at December 31, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Quarter ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
FLAG Financial reported a net loss in the third quarter of 1996 of $1,610,000 or
$0.77 per share which is compared to net income of $544,000 or $0.25 per share
for the same period in 1995. The loss is the result of two nonrecurring charges.
The first of these charges, which was anticipated and previously disclosed, was
a $2.3 million charge in the third quarter related to a $4.5 million portfolio
of equipment leases sold to the Bank through the Bennett Funding Group, Inc.
Although there is no way to anticipate the timing or ultimate resolution of the
Bennett Funding matter, the Company continues to seek full recovery of the
amounts invested with and through Bennett Funding Group, Inc.
Secondly, the Bank had a special assessment to fund the Savings Association
Insurance Fund ("SAIF") totaling $1,150,000. The SAIF assessment is part of a
recapitalization of the Savings Association Insurance Fund which was signed into
law on September 30, 1996, and all financial institutions which are insured
under SAIF participated in the assessment. The assessment is expected, among
other things, to result in significantly lower deposit insurance premiums in
future periods.
From a recurring earnings standpoint, profitability increased during the third
quarter as a result of higher net interest income and strong growth in fee
income. Specifically, net interest income increased 18% from the third quarter
of 1995, while other income increased 8% in the same time period.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine months ended Septemer 30, 1996 and 1995
Even though reported results were below last year's comparable figures, core
earnings saw improvement. Net interest income before provision for loan losses
increased 17% in the first nine months of 1996 as compared to the same period in
1995. Interest expense decreased 6.75% from 1995 due to a 35% decrease on
interest paid on FHLB advances. Non-interest income also increased 18% from the
year ago period because of an increase in gains on the sale of investment
securities and an increase in fees and service charges.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES
Management utilizes a systematic methodology to independently evaluate the
adequacy of the allowances for loan and lease losses. The adequacy of the
reserve for loan losses is determined through management's informed judgment
concerning the amount of risk inherent in the Bank's loan and lease portfolios.
This judgment is based on such factors as the levels of non-performing and
substandard loans and leases, portfolio mix, borrowers' financial condition,
estimated underlying collateral values, current and prospective local economic
conditions, and historical loss experience. Management expects the allowance to
increase as the Bank continues to expand the following loan portfolios:
consumer, commercial loans and leases, and commercial real estate. Actual losses
in the form of loans charged-off during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and year ended December 31, 1995 are presented as follows:
