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 month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 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 September
30, 1998, the Bank's core, tangible and risk-based capital was increased by
approximately $6,479 above the capital calculated in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Beginning July 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" (FAS 130). This statement establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. The new standard requires that all
items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.
Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods provided for
comparative purposes is required. As a result of adopting this FAS 130, the
Company reported (12,004) in other comprehensive income for the three month
period ended September 30, 1998.
NOTE 2--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
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 $2,906 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1998.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 3--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 month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
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 4--RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain items previously reported have been reclassified to conform with current
period reporting form. The most significant changes involve 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 3 and the
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, which requires
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.

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
(Bank), a federally chartered stock savings institution and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Gilstar Service Corporation (Gilstar), which offers non-depository
investment products. In this discussion and analysis, reference to the
operations and financial condition of the Company includes the operations and
financial condition of the Bank and Gilstar.
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
September 30, 1998 Compared to June 30, 1998. Total assets decreased
$800,000 from $43.2 million at June 30, 1998 to $42.4 million at September 30,
1998. The decrease was primarily attributable $1.6 million in principal
repayments on mortgage backed securities, partially offset by an increase in
cash and cash equivalents of $100,000, a $500,000 increase in net loans
receivable, an increase in investment securities of $137,000, and the purchase
of $141,000 in mortgage backed securities.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $100,000 from $1.6 million at June 30,
1998 to $1.7 million at September 30, 1998. The increase was primarily
attributable to principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities.
Investment securities increased $137,000 from $742,000 at June 30, 1998 to
$879,000 at September 30, 1998. The increase was due to the purchase of $120,000
of municipal bonds and an increase in market value of available for sale
investment securities of $17,000.
Mortgage-backed securities decreased $1,500,000 from $15.1 million at June
30, 1998 to $13.6 million at September 30, 1998. The decrease was primarily due
to $1.6 million in principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities, partially
offset by the purchase of $141,000 in mortgage-backed securities. In the quarter
ended September 30, 1998, the Bank elected to move all of its securities in the
held to maturity category to the available for sale category, to better manage
its securities portfolio.
Loans receivable were $24.2 million at June 30, 1998, and $24.7 million at
September 30, 1998 an increase of $500,000, or 2.03%. The increase is primarily
attributable to an increase in originations of consumer loans due to an increase
in home equity lending.
8
<PAGE>
Deposits decreased $800,000 from $28.8 million at June 30, 1998, to $28.0
million at September 30, 1998. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in
average rates paid on deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased
$400,000 from $9.8 million at June 30, 1998, to $9.4 million at September 30,
1998. The decrease was due to repayment of advances from funds received from
principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities.
Advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance increased $144,000 from
$523,000 at June 30, 1998 to $667,000 at September 30, 1998. The increase is due
to the majority of the property taxes being paid in the last quarter of calendar
1998.
Total stockholders' equity increased $131,000 to $4,033,000 at September
30, 1998 from $3,902,000 at June 30, 1998. This increase was a result of
$136,000 in net income, a decrease in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan of
$3,915, and a decrease in the Recognition and Retention Plan of $2,906, offset
by a $12,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive income.
The Bank continued to exceed all of its regulatory capital requirements at
September 30, 1998, with tangible and core capital of $3.9 million (9.25% of
total adjusted assets) and risk-based capital of $4.2 million (18.54% 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 September 30, 1998
and 1997
General. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $136,000,
an increase of $78,000 from the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The increase
was primarily due to the recovery of $123,000 relating to the dishonored
cashiers check on which a settlement of $145,000 was reached in September 1998.
The remaining $22,000 was booked to the general valuation allowance as recovery
on loans.
Interest Income. Interest income totaled $805,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998, compared to $813,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1997, a decrease of $8,000. The decrease was primarily due to a $37,000 decrease
in interest income from mortgage-backed securities due to a decrease in
principal balance on mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by an increase
of $26,000 in interest income on loans due to an increase in net loans
receivable.
Interest Expense. Interest expense remained relatively constant increasing
only $1,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to September 30,
1997. Interest expense on advances increased $35,000 due to an increase in the
average outstanding balances on advances, which was partially offset by a
$34,000 decrease in interest expense on deposits due to a decrease in average
outstanding balances on deposits.
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 September 30, 1998, decreased $3,500
from $10,500 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, to $7,000 for the
three month period ended September 30, 1998. The provision for loan losses was
decreased as a result of $22,000 being posted to the general valuation allowance
account for loans. In addition, during the quarter the Bank received a check
from its bond company for loss on loans of $35,000, relating to losses
associated with the same borrower who presented the dishonored cashiers' check.
The Company had an excess in reserves at September 30, 1998, and elected to keep
the reserve balance steady due to the growth in the consumer and commercial loan
portfolio.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $136,000 from $62,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 to $198,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998.
9
<PAGE>
The increase resulted primarily from $123,000 increase in other income due to
the settlement of the dishonored cashiers check. The Bank received the face
amount of the check, $145,000, of which, $123,000 that was charged off in the
March 31, 1998 quarter was booked directly to income and the difference of
$22,000 to recovery on loans. Loan origination and commitment fees increased
$5,000, along with an increase in loan servicing fees of $4,000 and an increase
in mortgage servicing rights of $5,000, due to an increase in loan originations.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $25,000 from $255,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, compared to $280,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1998. Compensation and benefits increased $14,000 to
$166,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 from $152,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997, due to the addition of a new employees. Other
miscellaneous expenses increased $9,000 from $86,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 to $95,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the
increase was primarily due to an increase in legal fees relating to the
dishonored cashiers check.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased $28,000 from $31,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 to $59,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998. The increase is due to an increase in net earnings before
income taxes of $106,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Effective June 19, 1997, the Bank adopted a Year 2000 ("Y2K") 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.
Financial institution regulators recently have increased their focus upon
Y2K compliance issues and have issued guidance concerning the responsibilities
of senior management and directors. The Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council ("FFIEC") has issued several interagency statements on Y2K
Project Management Awareness. These statements require financial institutions
to, among other things, examine the Y2K implications of their reliance on
vendors and with respect to data exchange and the potential impact of the Y2K
issue on their customers, suppliers, and borrowers. These statements also
require each federally regulated financial institution to survey its exposure,
measure its risk and prepare a plan to address the Y2K issue. Failure to address
appropriately the Y2K issue could result in supervisory action, including the
reduction of the institution's supervisory ratings, or the imposition of civil
money penalties.
The Company's operating, processing and accounting operations are computer
reliant and could be affected by the Year 2000 issues. Both the Bank and the
Company are reliant on third-party vendors for their data processing needs as
well as certain other significant functions and services. The Company is
currently working with its third party vendors in order to assess their Y2K
readiness. While no assurance can be given that such third party vendors will be
Y2K compliant, management believes that its mission critical vendors are taking
appropriate steps to address the issues on a timely basis.
The Company has formulated five phases from the regulatory guidelines to
attain Y2K compliance. In the Awareness phase the Company formally established a
Y2K plan headed by a senior manager, and a project team was assembled for
management of the Y2K project. The project team created a plan of action that
included strategies, milestone dates, and budget estimates for Y2K compliance.
In the Assessment phase the Company developed strategies to achieve the
objectives of the Y2K plan, and a Y2K business risk assessment was made to
quantify the extent of the Company's Y2K exposure. Systems were prioritized
based on business impact and available alternatives. The mission critical areas
supplied by vendors have been researched to determine Y2K readiness. The third
party systems that are not Y2K compliant are being monitored for compliance and
the Company has identified replacements that are Y2K compliant. The

Bank has identified all of our major customers, borrowers with balances in
excess of $250,000, and sent letters to them to assess our risk and the Bank has
received responses from all its major customers and the Bank's risk appears to
be minimal. In the Renovation phase the Company's systems revealed that Y2K
upgrades were available for some of its vendors and all of the hardware and
software systems that required an upgrade have been replaced and were tested
during the validation phase. In the Validation phase the Company tested the
ability of the hardware and software to accurately process date sensitive data.
The Company currently is in the process of validation testing each mission
critical system with the degree of completion of such testing ranging from 80%
to 100%. The Company has not incurred any Y2K related errors in its testing to
date. The Company's validation phase is expected to be completed by December 31,
1998, for all mission critical systems. In the Implementation phase the
Company's plan calls for implementing the renovated systems by December 31,
1998.
Although our service bureau has been tested for Y2K compliance, the Office
of Thrift Supervision requires that the Bank have a business resumption
contingency plan to carry on the main bank activities in case its service bureau
is not up and running. The Bank is currently working on the business resumption
plan and should be finished by April 30, 1999. While the Company currently has
no reason to believe that the cost of addressing the Y2K issues will materially
affect the Bank's operations, no assurance can be made that the third party
vendors, on which the Company relies, will become Y2K compliant in a successful
and timely fashion. Nevertheless, the Company does not believe that the cost of
addressing the Y2K issues will be a material event or uncertainty that would
cause reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future
operating results or financial conditions. The total cost of the Y2K project for
the Company is estimated to be $44,000. Expenses of approximately $10,000 were
incurred and expensed by the Company through September 30, 1998.
