MANAGEMENTS  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS



FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor
provisions regarding forward-looking  statements.  When used in this discussion,
the words  "believes",  "anticipates",  "contemplates",  "expects",  and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties  which could cause actual results
to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include
changes in interest  rates,  risks  associated  with the effect of opening a new
branch,  the  ability  to  control  costs and  expenses,  and  general  economic
conditions.  We undertake no obligation  to publicly  release the results of any
revision to those forward looking statements which may be made to reflect events
or  circumstances  after  the  date  hereof  or to  reflect  the  occurrence  of
unanticipated events.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     At June 30, 2000,  consolidated  assets totaled $186.3 million, an increase
of $20.6 million from September 30, 1999.  The asset  expansion was reflected in
growth of the loan portfolio which increased $20.6 million. Funding for the loan
growth  was  provided  by a $10.6  million  rise in  deposits,  a $10.0  million
increase in FHLB  advances,  and the sale of $4.6 million of  marketable  equity
securities available for sale. During fiscal 2000, we have focused on increasing
our deposit base by marketing specific deposit products, especially certificates
of deposit that pay attractive  rates of return and enhance our  asset/liability
position.  At June 30, 2000  certificates of deposit  totaled $82.4 million,  up
12.9% from the $73.0 million at September 30, 1999.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         General.  Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased
$74,000, or 13.6%, to $618,000 from $544,000 for the comparable 1999 period. The
increase  in our net income  was  primarily  caused by the rise in net  interest
income.  Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 was  $1,674,000,  up
4.6% from the $1,601,000 earned in the same nine months of 1999.

         Interest  Income.  Interest  income  totaled $3.4 million for the three
months  ended June 30,  2000,  a $469,000  increase  from $3.0  million  for the
comparable  1999  period.  The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2000
was  primarily  attributable  to an increase of $29.3  million in average  loans
receivable from the third quarter of fiscal 1999, combined with a 14 basis point
improvement in the yield on average loans. The improvement in yield is primarily

                                       8
<PAGE>

the  result  of the  recognition  of  interest  income  on a loan  that had been
classified as nonaccrual  but was  reclassified  current during the three months
ended June 30, 2000.

         For the nine months ended June 30, 2000,  interest  income totaled $9.8
million,  an $866,000  increase  from the $8.9 million for the  comparable  1999
period.  An increase of $25.1 million in average loans  receivable  for the nine
months  ended June 30,  2000  compared  to the same nine  months of 1999 was the
primary  reason for the rise in  interest  income.  Offsetting  the  increase in
interest  income for the nine months ended June 30,  2000,  was a 14 basis point
decline in the yield on average loans.

         Interest  Expense.  Interest expense totaled $1.8 million for the three
months  ended June 30,  2000,  a $334,000  increase  from $1.5  million  for the
comparable 1999 period.  The increase was due to a $206,000 increase in interest
on deposits,  due to a $9.7 million  increase in average volume,  and a 36 basis
point rise in average cost.  Additionally,  interest on borrowed funds increased
$128,000 increase due to the higher volume and cost of FHLB advances.

         For the nine months ended June 30, 2000,  interest expense totaled $5.1
million,  a $628,000  increase  from the $4.5  million for the  comparable  1999
period.  Interest on deposits reflected a $340,000 increase and interest on FHLB
advances was up $288,000.  The increased interest expense in both categories was
due to both increases in average volume and higher average cost of funds paid.

         Net Interest  Income.  For the three  months  ended June 30, 2000,  net
interest  income was $1.6  million,  up $135,000  from the net  interest  income
earned in the same period of 1999. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, our
interest  rate  spread and net  interest  margin  decreased  to 2.85% and 3.63%,
respectively,  compared to 2.96% and 3.70%, respectively, for the same period of
1999. The decrease was primarily due to the increased  cost of interest  bearing
liabilities.

         Our net interest income was $4.6 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2000, up $238,000 from the $4.4 million for the comparable  period of fiscal
1999.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2000, our interest rate spread and net
interest margin were 2.87% and 3.60%, respectively, compared to 2.99% and 3.73%,
respectively  for the same nine months of fiscal 1999. A 14 basis point  decline
in the yield on average loans  receivable  and a 34 basis point rise in the cost
of FHLB advances were the primary reasons for the declines.

         Provision for Credit Losses.  The provision for credit losses increased
$8,000, to $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $22,000 for the
same 1999 period.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2000,  the  provision  for
credit losses was $90,000, compared to $67,000 for the comparable nine months of
fiscal 1999.  Although  nonperforming  assets increased $616 thousand during the
nine months  ended June 30,  2000,  they were down $453  thousand  for the three
months ended June 30, 2000.  These loans are adequately  secured and as a result
management  believes the allowance for credit losses is  sufficient.  Management
performs  regular  assessments of the credit risk in the loan portfolio based on
information  available at such times,  including the level of our  nonperforming
loans and  assets,  trends in the local real  estate  market,

                                       9
<PAGE>

and current and  potential  charge-offs,  The  assessment of the adequacy of the
allowance  for credit  losses  involves  subjective  judgment  regarding  future
events,  and there can be no assurance  that  additional  provisions  for credit
losses will not be required in future periods.

         Noninterest   Income.  For  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2000,
noninterest  income was $253,000,  up 5.0% from the $241,000 for the  comparable
1999  period.  Service  charges and fees on loans were up $7,000 to $149,000 for
the third  quarter of fiscal 2000 from  $142,000  for the  comparable  period of
fiscal 1999. Other customer service fees and commissions were up 8.4% to $90,000
for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000  compared to the same three months of
1999 due primarily to the increased number of transaction accounts.

         For the  nine  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  noninterest  income  was
$789,000, up slightly from the $769,000 earned in the nine months ended June 30,
1999. A $54,000  increase in other  customer  service fees and  commissions  was
offset by a decrease  $27,000  decline in the income derived from the presale of
mortgage loans.

         Noninterest  expense.  Noninterest  expense was  $826,000 for the three
months  ended June 30,  2000,  up 2.1% from  $809,000  for the  comparable  1999
period. Data processing expense was up $11,000 due to increased pricing from our
primary service provider. Advertising, primarily focused on increasing deposits,
was up $5,000, or 19.2%, due to increased  marketing and an increase in the cost
of media advertising. For the three months ended June 30, 2000 there were no Y2K
expenses, compared to expenses of $10,000 in the comparable quarter of 1999.

         For the nine months ended June 30, 2000,  noninterest  expense was $2.6
million,  up 3.1% from the level for the same period of fiscal  1999.  Personnel
compensation  and  benefits  were  up  3.9% to  $1.4  million  due to  increased
staffing.  Data processing expense was $319,000,  up 9.6% from the level for the
same nine months of fiscal 1999 due to increased  pricing by our primary service
provider.  Advertising  reflected  a 20.9%  rise  to  $104,000  due to  increase
marketing  efforts  primarily to attract  deposits.  Professional fees were down
26.2% to $124,000  from  $168,000 for the same nine months of fiscal 1999 due to
lower  legal  expenses  and a  reduction  of $7,000  in  outside  services,  due
primarily to consulting expenses incurred in fiscal 1999.

         Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $381,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2000,  up 14.4% from the $333,000  provision
recorded in the same three months of fiscal 1999. For the nine months ended June
30, 2000,  the provision for income taxes was $1.1 million,  up $84,000 from the
provision for the  comparable  period of fiscal 1999. The primary reason for the
increases was the higher level of taxable income.

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

LIQUIDITY
---------

     Our  liquidity  is a measure of our  ability  to fund  loans,  pay  deposit
withdrawal,  and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost effective manner. Our
primary sources of funds are deposits, and scheduled amortization and prepayment
of loans.  In addition,  we supplement our funding needs by borrowing funds from
the  Federal  Home Loan Bank  ("FHLB")  of Atlanta.  As of June 30,  2000,  such
borrowed funds totaled $38 million. Loan payments and prepayments,  deposits and
borrowings are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions
and competition.

     We are required  under Federal  regulations to maintain  certain  specified
levels of "liquid  assets,"  which  include  certain  United  States  government
obligations and other approved  investments.  Current  regulations require us to
maintain liquid assets of not less than 4% of net  withdrawable  accounts,  plus
short-term borrowings. At June 30, 2000, our regulatory liquidity was 10.81%.

                                       11

<PAGE>

     The amount of certificate accounts which are scheduled to mature during the
next twelve months ending June 30, 2001, is approximately  $53.5 million. To the
extent that these deposits do not remain with us upon maturity,  we believe that
we can  replace  these  funds  with  other  deposits,  FHLB  advances  or  other
borrowings.  It has been  our  experience  that a  substantial  portion  of such
maturing  deposits  remain with us. We have been very  successful  in  retaining
these maturing deposits in fiscal 2000, due to our effective  marketing campaign
designed to both attract new deposits and retain maturing deposits.

     At June 30, 2000,  we had loan  commitments  outstanding  of  $20.8million.
These  commitments  will be funded from deposit  inflows,  loan  repayments  and
borrowings.
