        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

      Total assets of the  Corporation  were $121.8 million at June 30, 1996, an
increase of $6.7  million from  September  30, 1995. A $5.8 million rise in loan
receivables,  primarily in mortgage  loans,  to $103.5  million at June 30, 1996
accounted  for most of the  increase.  Funding  for the asset  growth was mainly
provided by increases in deposits and FHLB borrowings.  Stockholders' equity was
$18.5 million on June 30, 1996, compared to $18.7 million on September 30, 1995,
as the net  income of $1.2  million  was more  than  offset  by the  payment  of
$401,000 in  dividends,  stock  repurchases  of $824,000  and $484,000 of shares
acquired by the RRP Plan.

      At June 30, 1996,  nonperforming assets were $1,034,000,  or .85% of total
assets  compared to $1,312,000,  or 1.14% of total assets at September 30, 1995.
During the third  quarter of fiscal 1996,  $452,000 of  residential  real estate
loans  were   classified   nonperforming.   The   addition  of  these  loans  to
nonperforming  status was more than offset by the $1.0 million  shopping  center
loan which had been  classified as a  nonperforming  asset at September 30, 1995
but was current at June 30, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996

      General.  For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, net income  amounted to
$1.2  million  compared  to $1.1  million  for the same  period of fiscal  1995.
Expansion of both net interest and  noninterest  income was partially  offset by
growth of noninterest  expense. A higher level of interest earning assets and an
improvement in the net interest margin were the primary reasons for the increase
in net interest income.

      Interest Income.  Interest income totaled $6.9 million for the nine months
ended  June 30,  1996,  a rise of 14.9%  from the  $6.0  million  earned  in the
comparable  period of fiscal 1995. A rise of 7.47% in average  outstanding loans
for the nine months ended June 30, 1996  compared to the same period of 1995 was
the principal reason for the increase in interest income.

      Interest  Expense.  For the nine  months  ended  June 30,  1996,  interest
expense  amounted  to $3.3  million,  a 22.4% rise over the same nine  months of
fiscal 1995. A higher level of average  interest  bearing  deposits and borrowed
funds was responsible for the increase in interest expense.

      Net Interest  Income.  Net interest  income for the nine months ended June
30, 1996 of $3.6  million was 8.8% higher than in the same nine months of fiscal
1995. A three basis point  improvement in the net interest  margin combined with
the 8.00% rise in average earning assets were primary factors in the increase.

      Provision for Credit Losses.  Based on management's ongoing evaluation of,
among other things,  the Bank's loan portfolio,  market  conditions,  the Bank's
market  area and the  current  level of the  allowance  for  credit  losses,  no
additional  provision  for credit losses was needed during the nine months ended
June 30, 1996.  For the same nine month  period of fiscal 1995, a provision  for
credit losses of $15,000 was recorded.  The determination of the adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses  involves  subjective  judgements  regarding  future
events and, therefore, there can be no assurance that additions to the allowance
for credit  losses  will not be  required  in future  periods.  Management  will
continue to

                                     -5-

<PAGE>



evaluate  the level of the  allowance  for credit  losses  based on, among other
things, growth of the loan portfolio,  loan delinquency rates and general market
conditions. There can be no assurances, however, that additional provisions will
be required in future periods.

      Total Noninterest Income. Noninterest income rose to $508,000 for the nine
months  ended June 30, 1996 from  $415,000  for the nine  months  ended June 30,
1995. The increase was focused in customer service fees related to NOW accounts.
In  addition,  a $27,000  gain  realized on the sale of  foreclosed  real estate
during the first nine months of fiscal 1996, compared to a loss of $8,000 in the
same period of fiscal 1995, added to the increase.

      Total  Noninterest  Expense.  For the nine  months  ended  June 30,  1996,
noninterest  expense  amounted to $2.2 million  compared to $1.9 million for the
same nine months of fiscal 1995.  Personnel  compensation and benefits increased
due to staff increases, the rising cost of benefits and general merit increases.
Occupancy and  equipment  costs rose  primarily  due to expenses  related to the
installation and operation of three  freestanding ATMs. Other expenses increased
due to higher  Federal  Reserve  processing  charges  and the cost of  technical
support for the ATMs.

      Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes  increased for
the nine months  ended June 30,  1996,  to $721,000  from  $675,000 for the nine
months  ended  June  30,  1996  due  to  the  increased   profitability  of  the
Corporation.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996

      General. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $424,000,
a 17.8% increase from the $360,000 earned in the same quarter of fiscal 1995. An
increase  of $87,000 in net  interest  income  combined  with a $54,000  rise in
noninterest  income  accounted  for  the  expansion.  Partially  offsetting  the
increase was a $58,000 increase in noninterest expense.

      Interest  Income.  Total interest  income amounted to $2.3 million for the
three  months  ended  June  30,  1996 up from  the $2.1  million  earned  in the
comparable quarter of fiscal 1995. The increase was primarily due to an increase
in the average  balance of loans  receivable  to $100.9  million for the quarter
ended  June 30,  1996 from  $92.4  million  for the same  period  of 1995.  This
increase reflects the Corporation's  continuing success in originating  mortgage
loans.  In  addition,  the average  balance of  investments  increased  to $13.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $11.0  million  during the
same quarter of fiscal 1995.

      Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 1996, total interest
expense  rose to $1.1  million  from the $1.0 million for the three months ended
June 30,  1995,primarily  due to an increase in the average  balance of interest
bearing  liabilities  to $93.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 from
$86.1  million  for the same  quarter of fiscal  1995.  The  average  balance of
borrowings  increased  $1.3 million from $4.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996.

      Net  Interest  Income.  For the three  months  ended  June 30,  1996,  net
interest  income was $1.2 million,  an increase of $87,000 over the net interest
income  recorded for the same three  months of fiscal 1995. A 7.81%  increase in
average  earning  assets for the three  months ended June 30, 1996 over the same
period for fiscal 1995 was the major factor in the improvement.

      Provision for Credit Losses.  There was no provision for credit losses 
taken during the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to a provision of 
$8,000 recorded in the same three months of

                                     -6-

<PAGE>



fiscal 1995.  See the  discussion of Provision  for Credit  Losses  contained on
pages 5 and 6 contained elsewhere herein.

      Total  Noninterest  Income.  Noninterest  income totaled  $191,000 for the
third  quarter of fiscal  1996  compared  to  $137,000  for the same three month
period of fiscal 1995.  Service charges and fees on loans increased  $37,000 due
to the  increased  level of loans closed  during the three months ended June 30,
1996,  while  other  customer  service  fees and  commissions  rose  $15,000 due
primarily to growth of and increased activity in deposit accounts.

      Total Noninterest Expense.  Total noninterest expense was $715,000 for the
three  months ended June 30,  1996,  up $58,000 from the $657,000  total for the
comparable  quarter of fiscal 1995.  Occupancy  and  equipment  expenses were up
$24,000 and other  expenses were up $36,000  primarily  due to costs  associated
with the installation and operation of ATMs.

      Provision for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes was $260,000 
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to a provision of $233,000 for
the same three months of fiscal 1995.  The increase was due to the increased 
profitability of the Corporation.

      Management believes that under current regulations, the Bank will continue
to meet its minimum  capital  requirements  in the  foreseeable  future.  Events
beyond the control of the Bank,  such as increased  interest rates or a downturn
in the economy in areas in which the Bank operates could adversely affect future
earnings  and as a result,  the  ability of the Bank to meet its future  minimum
capital requirements.


                                     -7-

<PAGE>



      The Bank's  liquidity  is a measure  of its  ability  to fund  loans,  pay
deposit  withdrawals,  and other cash outflows in an efficient,  cost  effective
manner.   The  Bank's  primary  source  of  funds  are  deposits  and  scheduled
amortization  and prepayment of loans.  During the past several years,  the Bank
has used such funds  primarily  to fund  maturing  time  deposits,  pay  savings
withdrawals,  fund lending commitments,  purchase new investments,  and increase
liquidity.  The Bank funds its operations internally but also borrows funds from
the  Federal  Home Loan Bank  ("FHLB")  of Atlanta.  As of June 30,  1996,  such
borrowed funds totaled $8.0 million.  Loan payments and maturing investments are
greatly   influenced  by  general  interest  rates,   economic   conditions  and
competition.

      The  Bank is  required  under  Federal  regulations  to  maintain  certain
specified  levels of "liquid  investments,"  which include certain United States
government  obligations  and other  approved  investments.  Current  regulations
require  the  Bank  to  maintain  liquid  assets  of  not  less  than  5% of net
withdrawable accounts plus short term borrowings.  Short term liquid assets must
consist of not less then 1% of such  accounts  and  borrowings,  which amount is
also included within the 5%  requirement.  Those levels may be changed from time
to time by the regulators to reflect current economic  conditions.  The Bank has
generally  maintained  liquidity far in excess of regulatory  requirements.  The
Bank's  regulatory  liquidity  was 8.46%  and  7.85% at June 30,  1996 and 1995,
respectively,  and its short term  liquidity  was 3.51% and 2.08% at such dates,
respectively.

      The amount of  certificate  accounts  which are scheduled to mature during
the next twelve months ending June 30, 1997, is approximately  $38.7 million. To
the extent that these deposits do not remain at the Bank upon maturity, the Bank
believes that it can replace these funds with other deposits,  excess liquidity,
FHLB advances,  or other  borrowings.  It has been the Bank's  experience that a
substantial portion of such maturing deposits remain at the Bank.

      At June  30,  1996,  the Bank had  loan  commitments  outstanding  of $3.1
million and no commitments to purchase mortgage-backed or investment securities.
Funds  required to fill these  commitments  are derived  primarily  from current
excess liquidity, deposit inflows, borrowings or loan and investment repayments.

      Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

      The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Corporation  and  notes
thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP,
which requires the  measurement of financial  position and operating  results in
terms of historical dollars without considering the relative purchasing power of
money over time due to  inflation.  The impact of  inflation is reflected in the
increased  cost  of  the  Corporation's   operations.   Unlike  most  industrial
companies,  nearly all of the  assets and  liabilities  of the  Corporation  are
financial.   As  a  result,   interest  rates  have  a  greater  impact  on  the
Corporation's  performance  than do the general  levels of  inflation.  Interest
rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the
prices of goods and services.

      Potential One-Time Assessment

      The FDIC charges an annual  assessment for the insurance of deposits based
on the risk that a particular  institution  poses to the insurance  fund.  Under
this risk-based  system, a thrift pays within a range of 23 to 31 cents per $100
of domestic deposits, depending upon the institution's risk classification. This
risk  classification is based on an institution's  capital group and supervisory
subgroup  assignment  as  determined  by the  FDIC.  In  addition,  the  FDIC is
authorized to increase such deposit insurance rates, on a semi-annual  basis, if
it determines  that such action is necessary to cause the balance in the SAIF to
reach the designated  reserve ratio of 1.25% of  SAIF-insured  deposits within a
reasonable period of time.

                                     -8-

<PAGE>




      Because  the SAIF is  currently  well  below the  desired  level,  pending
legislation  calls for a one time special  assessment of  approximately 85 cents
per  $100  on all  SAIF  insured  deposits  at  March  31,  1995,  in  order  to
recapitalize  the SAIF to the  designated  reserve ratio of 1.25% of its insured
deposits.  This  assessment,  if  enacted,  would  cost the  Bank  approximately
$719,000 (before taxes). There can be no assurance as to the final form, if any,
of such special assessment.  In addition,  under the FDICIA, the FDIC may impose
special  assessments  on SAIF members to repay  amounts  borrowed from the U. S.
Treasury  or for any other  reason  deemed  necessary.  Furthermore,  due to the
disparity between deposit  insurance  premiums paid by members of the SAIF (such
as the  Bank)  and  members  of the Bank  Insurance  Fund  ("BIF")  (e.g.,  most
commercial banks), the bank may be at a competitive  disadvantage as a result of
it being  required to pay higher  premiums  as a member of the SAIF.  The Bank's
Federal  deposit  insurance  premium  expense for the nine months ended June 30,
1995 and 1996 amounted to approximately $148,000 and $154,000, respectively.

      Recent Legislation - Recapture of Post-1987 Bad-Debt Reserves

      On August 2, 1996,  both the U.S.  House of  Representatives  and the U.S.
Senate passed the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996.  This bill will, if
signed by the  President,  among other things,  equalize the taxation of thrifts
and  banks.  Previously,  thrifts  had been able to  deduct a  portion  of their
bad-debt   reserves  set  aside  to  cover  potential  loan  losses   ("bad-debt
reserves"). Furthermore, the bill will repeal current law mandating recapture of
thrifts' bad debt reserves if they convert to banks. Bad debt reserves set aside
through 1987 will not be taxed,  however,  any reserves  taken since  January 1,
1988 will be taxed over a six year period  beginning in 1997.  Institutions  can
delay these taxes for two years if they meet a residential-lending test. At June
30, 1996, the Bank had $505,000 of post 1987 bad-debt reserves. Any recapture of
the Bank's bad-debt reserves may have an adverse effect on net income.  The Bank
is currently  evaluating this  legislation to determine the effect on the Bank's
financial condition.
