NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies and practices of Gilmer Financial
Services, Inc. conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to
prevailing practices within the savings and loan industry.
The unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with
instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include information or
footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of
operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for an entire fiscal
year.
The OTS has adopted a regulation which requires that, for purposes of
calculating regulatory capital, unrealized gains or losses related to accounting
for certain investments in debt and equity securities under SFAS 115 are not
included in the Bank's regulatory capital. As a result of this rule at December
31, 1997, the Bank's core, tangible and risk-based capital was increased by
approximately $40,753 above the capital calculated in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Effective June 19, 1997, the Bank adopted a Year 2000 Policy. This policy
implements steps to assure any problems relating to software that has been
written to use a 2 digit field in the year designation of a date has been
corrected by year end 1998. The twentieth century is assumed to be the default
in such designations, and will produce results that are wrong by 100 years when
the century is meant to be the twenty first century. The Bank is currently
testing all software to assure compliance with the Year 2000 Policy.
NOTE 2-CONVERSION
On July 13, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Bank, subject to regulatory
approval and approval by members of the Bank, adopted a Plan of Conversion to
convert from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered
stock savings bank with the concurrent formation of a holding company. The
conversion was designed to be accomplished through amendment of the Bank's
federal charter and the sale of the holding company's common stock in an amount
equal to the consolidated proforma market share of the holding company and the
Bank after giving effect to the conversion.
On February 9, 1995, Gilmer Savings Bank completed its conversion. The Bank
issued 195,755 shares of stock. All of the Bank's outstanding common stock will
be held on the Holding Company's books.
NOTE 3-RECOGNITION AND RETENTION PLAN
The Board of Directors of the Company adopted and obtained stockholder approval
at the October 12, 1995 stockholder's meeting, a Recognition and Retention Plan
(RRP) to enable the Company to provide officers and employees with a proprietary
interest in the Company as incentive to contribute to its success. Officers and
employees of the Company who are selected by members of a committee appointed by
the Board of Directors of the Company will be eligible to receive benefits under
the RRP.
The Company has available to award 7,830 shares of Company stock and on October
12, 1996, the Company awarded 4,303 shares, with the remainder being reserved
for future award. The shares granted are in the form of restricted stock to be
earned and payable over a five-year period at the rate of 20% per year,
effective on the date of stockholder ratification. Compensation in the amount of
the fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant to the
officer or employee will be recognized pro rata over the five years during which
the shares are earned and payable. The Company initially funded the RRP in
October 1995 by issuing 4303 shares of its previously authorized but unissued
common stock. In October 1996, the company repurchased 10,000 shares of its
outstanding common stock for $125,700, of these shares 4,303 shares were

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3-RECOGNITION AND RETENTION PLAN (CONTINUED)
contributed to the RRP to retire shares previously issued. During the year ended
June 30, 1997, the Company awarded an additional 1,200 shares and used Treasury
shares to fund the award. The remaining 4,497 shares of stock repurchased are
held in treasury shares at cost. RRP Plan expense totalled $2,907 and $5,813,
for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1997.
NOTE 4-EARNINGS PER SHARE
Effective with the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted the
provisions of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, which
changes the method of computing and reporting earnings per share. Amounts
previously reported have been restated to conform to the new standard. Basic
earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1997
and 1996 have been computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding. Shares controlled by the ESOP are accounted for in
accordance with Statement of Position 93-6 under which unallocated shares are
not considered in the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been computed, giving effect to
outstanding stock purchase options by application of the treasury stock method.
NOTE 5-RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform with current
period reporting form. The most significant change involves the adoption of the
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, which changes the method of
computing and reporting earnings per share as described in Note 4.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Gilmer Financial Services, Inc. was formed in July of 1994 and is the
holding company and owner of 100% of the common stock of Gilmer Savings Bank
FSB, a federally chartered stock savings institution. In this discussion and
analysis, reference to the operations and financial condition of the Company
includes the operations and financial condition of the Bank.
On February 9, 1995, the Bank completed its conversion from a mutual to a
stock savings institution. On that date, the Company issued and sold 195,755
shares of common stock at $10.00 per share to complete the conversion of the
Bank from mutual to stock form ("Conversion"). Net proceeds to the Company were
approximately $1.6 million after deducting expenses of approximately $320,000.
The Holding Company's business currently consists of the operations of the
Bank. As a consumer-oriented financial institution, the Company offers a range
of banking services to residents of its primary market area. The Company is
principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general
public and investing those deposits, along with funds generated from operations
and borrowings, into mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans. The Company also
invests in mortgage and government backed securities and certificates of
deposit.
The Bank's results of operations are primarily affected by its net
interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on its
loans, investment and mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and its
cost of funds consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds,
including Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Net income of the Bank is also
affected by non-interest income, such as loan origination and commitment fees,
loan servicing fees and other income, and non-interest expense, including
compensation and benefits, insurance premiums, losses on foreclosed real estate
and provisions for losses on loans. The Bank's net income also is affected
significantly by general economic conditions and competitive conditions,
particularly changes in market interest rates and actions of regulatory
authorities.
Financial Condition
December 31, 1997 Compared to June 30, 1997. Total assets remained
relatively constant, increasing only $128,000, from $42.2 million at June 30,
1997 to $42.3 million at December 31, 1997. The increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in net loans receivable of $163,000, an increase in
investment securities of $735,000, and an increase in real estate owned and
other repossessed assets of $60,000, partially offset by a decrease in cash and
cash equivalents of $263,000, a decrease in mortgage-backed securities of
$551,000, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $50,000.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $263,000 from $1.9 million at June 30,
1997 to $1.6 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease was primarily
attributable to the majority of property taxes being paid in the last quarter of
calendar 1997.
Mortgage-backed securities decreased $551,000 from $15.1 million at June
30, 1997 to $14.5 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease was primarily due
to principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities held to maturity.
Loans receivable were $23.4 million at June 30, 1997, and $23.6 million at
December 31, 1997, an increase of $163,000, or .69%. The increase is primarily
attributable to an increase in originations of consumer and commercial loans.
Investment securities increased $727,000 from $316,000 at June 30, 1997 to
$1,043,000 at December 31, 1997. The increase was due to the purchase of
$735,000 Upshur County Bonds held as available for sale securities, along with
$8,000 in principal repayments.
Real estate and other assets increased $60,000 from $98,000 at June 30,
1997 to $158,000 at December 31, 1997. The increase was due to a foreclosure on
a single family loan of $33,000, along with an increase in other repossessed
assets of $27,000,
9
<PAGE>
resulting from repossession of auto loans.
Prepaid expenses and other assets decreased $50,000, from $247,000 at
June 30, 1997 to $197,000 at December 31, 1997. Included in this balance is a
cashiers check for $145,000, issued by a local bank, that was dishonored on
September 18, 1997, and is currently in pending litigation. The issuing bank
claims that they were induced to issue the check based upon fraudulent
information. Management continues to believe that the check will ultimately be
paid; however, due to the fact that litigation is in the preliminary stages, the
likelihood of success is not determinable at this time. Subsequent to September
30, 1997, the Bank repossessed all collateral on loans relating to the same
individual the cashiers check was issued to. As of December 31, 1997, the Bank
had charged $154,000 to loss and $24,000 to other repossessed assets relating to
this individual.
Deposits remain relatively unchanged from $29.1 million at June 30, 1997,
to $29.3 million at December 31, 1997. Federal Home Loan Bank advances also
remained relatively constant, increasing only $35,000.
Advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased 232,000 from
$488,000 at June 30, 1997 to $256,000 at December 31, 1997. The decrease is due
to the majority of the property taxes being paid in the last quarter of calendar
1997.
Total stockholders' equity increased $54,000 to $3,857,000 at December 31,
1997 from $3,803,000 at June 30, 1997. This increase was a result of net
earnings of $7,000, a $33,000 decrease in unrealized loss on securities
available for sale, a decrease in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of $8,000,
and a decrease in the Recognition and Retention Plan of $6,000. The Bank
continued to exceed all of its regulatory capital requirements at December 31,
1997, with tangible and core capital of $3.8 million (8.91% of total adjusted
assets) and risk-based capital of $4.0 million (19.04% of risk-weighted assets).
Results of Operations
The Company's results of operations depend primarily on the level of its
net interest income and non-interest income and the amount of non-interest
expenses. Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets
and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 1997 and
1996
General. Net income(loss) for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 was
($51,000), a decrease of $98,000 from the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The
decrease was primarily due to an increase in the provision for loan losses of
$146,000.
Interest Income. Interest income totaled $791,000 for the quarter ended
December 31, 1997, compared to $726,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996,
an increase of $65,000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net
loans receivable, along with an increase in interest income on mortgage-backed
securities due to changes in interest rates.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $70,000 for the quarter ended
December 31, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996. The increase was due to a
$74,000 increase in interest paid on deposits, the increase was a result of an
increase in the average balance of deposits for the quarter and an increase in
rates, partially offset by a decrease in interest paid on FHLB advances of
$4,000, due to a decrease in average outstanding advances.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Company maintains an allowance for loan
losses based upon management's periodic evaluation of non-performing loans,
inherent risks in the loan portfolio, economic conditions and past experience.
The provision for the three months ended December 31, 1997, increased $146,000
from $16,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1996, to $162,000 for the
three month period ended December 31, 1997. The provision for loan losses of
$162,000 was to replenish the reserves for the $124,000 loss charged to reserves
discussed above, and the additional reserves were based on management's
evaluation of non-performing loans.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $4,000 from $51,000
for the
10
<PAGE>
quarter ended December 31, 1996 to $55,000 for the quarter ended December 31,
1997. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $4,000 in other
income.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense remained relatively constant from
$244,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996, compared to $243,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997. Compensation and benefits increased $2,000 to
$137,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 from $135,000 for the quarter
ended December 31, 1996, due to an additional employees' salary and other
benefits. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased $5,000 from $13,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1996 to $8,000 for the quarter ended December 31,
1997. Federal insurance premiums decreased $6,000 due to the recapitalization of
the SAIF resulting in reduced premiums. Other miscellaneous expenses increased
$8,000 from $86,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 to $94,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased $49,000 from $22,000
for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 to ($27,000) for the quarter ended
December 31, 1997. The decrease is due to a decrease in net earnings before
income taxes of $147,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 1997 and
1996
General. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 1997 was $7,000,
a increase of $4,000 from the six months ended December 31, 1996. The increase
was primarily due to an $148,000 decrease in non-interest expense, and a $9,000
increase in other income, partially offset by a $150,000 increase in provision
for loan losses.
Interest Income. Interest income totaled $1,604,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 1997, compared to $1,455,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1996, an increase of $149,000. The increase was due to an increase
in net loans receivable, along with upward changes in interest rates on
adjustable loans.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $151,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996. The increase was due to a
$170,000 increase in interest paid on deposits, resulting from an increase in
the average balance of deposits for the six months ended and an increase in
rates, offset by a decrease in interest paid on FHLB advances of $19,000, due to
a decrease in outstanding advances.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Company maintains an allowance for loan
losses based upon management's periodic evaluation of non-performing loans,
inherent risks in the loan portfolio, economic conditions and past experience.
The provision for the six months ended December 31, 1997, increased $150,000
from $22,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996, to $172,000 for the six
months period ended December 31, 1997.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $9,000 from $108,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1996 to $118,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1997. The increase resulted primarily from an increase of $12,000
in other income, a $3,000 increase in loan servicing fees, a $4,000 decrease in
loss on sale of interest-bearing assets, partially offset by a $10,000 decrease
in loan origination and commitment fees.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense totaled $647,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1996, compared to $499,000 for the six months ended
December 31, 1997, a decrease of $148,000. The primary reason for this decrease
was the one time special assessment of 65.7 basis points of the March 31, 1995
SAIF assessment base. The special assessment resulted in a $164,000 charge to
noninterest expense during the six months ended December 31, 1996, compared to a
charge of $0 for the six months ended December 31, 1997. Compensation and
benefits increased $21,000 to $289,000 for the six months ended December 31,
1997 from $268,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996, due to an
additional employees' salary and other benefits. Federal insurance premiums
decreased $13,000 due to the recapitalization of the BIF/SAIF premiums in the
six months ended December 31, 1996. Other miscellaneous expenses increased
$13,000 from $167,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 to $180,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 1997. The primary reason for this increase was
an increase in service bureau fees associated with growth in checking accounts
and an increase in group insurance.
