                       CCF HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation
    ---------------------

The consolidated financial statements for the three month and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position,
operating results, and cash flows for the interim periods. Accordingly, they do
not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December
31, 2000.

2.  Accounting Policies
    -------------------

Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Company described in the
notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.  Reclassification
    ----------------

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the presentation used in the current period consolidated financial
statements.

4.  Destruction of Branch Facilities
    --------------------------------

During the year, the Forest Park branch of Heritage Bank was struck by
lightening and destroyed by fire. The branch reopened in a temporary facility
one week later. The Company does not expect any loss related to the fire due to
the insurance coverage in place allowing for the replacement of the building and
the contents within the building.

5.  Earnings per share
    ------------------

Basic earnings per share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average common shares outstanding which includes
Management Stock Bonus Plan shares which have been awarded whether vested or not
and excludes unallocated shares under the Company's employee stock ownership
plan until they are committed to be released for allocation. Diluted EPS is
computed by dividing net income by weighted average shares outstanding plus
potential common stock resulting from dilutive stock options.

"basic earnings per share" and "diluted earnings per share".

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

CCF Holding Company (the "Company") may from time to time make written or oral
"forward-looking statements", including statements contained in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this report on
Form 10-QSB), in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the
Company, which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the "safe
harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as
statements of the Company's plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and
intentions, that are subject to change based on various important factors (some
of which are beyond the Company's control).  The following factors, among
others, could cause the Company's financial performance to differ materially
from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in
forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general
and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts
operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies
and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, inflation, interest rate and market and monetary
fluctuations; the timely development of and acceptance of new products and
services of the Company and the perceived overall value of these products and
services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to
competitors' products and services; the willingness of users to substitute
competitors' products and services for the Company's products and services; the
success of the Company in gaining regulatory approval of its products and
services, when required; the impact of changes in financial services' laws and
regulations (including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and
insurance);  technological changes, acquisitions; changes in consumers spending
and saving habits; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved
in the foregoing.

The Company cautions that these important factors are not exclusive.  The
Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether
written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the
Company.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999

Assets - The Company's total assets increased by 13.68%, or $26.9 million, from
$196.8 million at December 31, 1999 to $223.7 million at September 30, 2000.
Net loans receivable increased 11.1% to $162.8 million at September 30, 2000, up
$16.2 million from $146.6 million at December 31, 1999.  The Company's loan
growth includes growth of approximately $8.0 million in commercial real estate
loans and $7.3 million in 1-4 family residential construction loans.

Liabilities - Total deposits during the nine months ended September 30, 2000
grew to $203.8 million, an increase of $38.2 million, or 23.1%, from $165.5
million at December 31, 1999.  Deposit growth in transaction accounts amounted
to $11.6 million or 17.7%, of this, $4.1 million was an increase in non-interest
bearing accounts. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Heritage Bank (the
"Bank"), continues to stress transaction account growth in its marketing
strategy.  Certificates of deposit increased during the nine-month period from
$92.1 million at December 31, 1999, to $119.6 million at September 30, 2000, an
increase of 29.8%, or $27.5 million. Like most financial institutions, the Bank
is striving to find ways to meet its ever-increasing liquidity demands.  As a
community bank, the Bank has always been committed to generating loans and
deposits in its local communities, generally foregoing opportunities that lie
outside these market areas, but as the growth of loans has outpaced the growth
in deposits in the community banking industry, the Bank, like most of its peers,
has constantly been looking for new sources of liquidity.  The Federal Home Loan
Bank has served the Bank well in meeting liquidity requirements in the past and
will continue to play a significant role in liquidity planning in the future.
In addition to the Federal Home Loan Bank, the Bank has found other sources of
funds outside its primary market area during this calendar year. In this regard,
the Bank has been able to go directly to certain out of area financial
institutions and solicit deposits. The deposits are not "brokered" deposits and
are solicited directly from other financial institutions.  The total amount of
these deposits on September 30, 2000 was $8.6 million, representing 4.2% of the
Bank's total deposit base.   These deposits allowed the Bank to eliminate its
daily borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and create more interest rate
stability on the balance sheet.  The Bank does not expect this form of deposit
gathering to achieve a significant percentage of its deposit base in the
foreseeable future, as the Bank intends to use it only as another means of
meeting short-term liquidity needs without significantly disrupting its growth
plans.

                                       7
<PAGE>

Liabilities (cont'd) - During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the
Company drew an additional $500,000 on a line of credit of $2,500,000.  As of
September 30, 2000 the outstanding balance on this line of credit was $1.4
million. The interest rate charged on this line of credit is prime minus .50%.
The Company used the proceeds from the line of credit to inject capital into the
Bank. The Bank eliminated its borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Atlanta, repaying $13.1 million during the first six months of 2000.

Stockholders' Equity - Total stockholders' equity increased $973,000, or 8.1%,
from $12.0 million at December 31, 1999 to $12.9 million at September 30, 2000.
This increase was the result of the Company's net income, employee stock
ownership plan allocations, and management stock bonus plan expense, and
reductions in unrealized losses on securities available for sale.  The Company
also declared three quarterly dividends in March, June, and September 2000,
totaling $224,000, which partially offset the increase in stockholders' equity.
The ratio of stockholders' equity as a percentage of total assets was 5.8% at
September 30, 2000. At December 31, 1999, the ratio was 6.1%.  Book value per
share increased from $12.22 at December 31, 1999 to $13.25 at September 30,
2000.

Management and the Board of Directors recognize that the future growth of the
company and its subsidiary, Heritage Bank may be affected by its ability to
raise additional capital or retain more earnings.  The Bank is currently
adequately capitalized.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months and Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999.

Net Income - The Company's net income of $308,371 ($0.33 basic and $0.33 diluted
per share) for the three-month period ending September 30, 2000 increased by
$51,113, or 19.9%, from $257,258 ($0.27 basic and $0.26 diluted per share) over
the same three-month period in 1999. Net income of $894,263 ($0.96 basic and
$0.94 diluted per share) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000
increased by $175,272, or 24.4%, from a net income of $718,991 ($0.77 basic and
$0.74 diluted per share) at September 30, 1999. The increase in net income was
primarily due to an increase of net interest income, generated through loan
growth, partially offset by increases in interest expense. Included in other
income for the first three quarters of 1999 were pretax gains totaling $58,000
related to the sale of fixed assets, $49,000 related to the sale of loans and
$68,000 in pretax gains on the sale of equity securities.

Net Interest Income - Net interest income for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 increased $306,000, or 16.7%, from $1.8 million in 1999 to
$2.1 million for the same period in 2000. The increase in the average balance of
loans receivable of $30.5 million during the twelve-month period since September
30, 1999, resulted in an approximate increase of $2.8 million, or 30.9%, in
interest income from loans for the first three quarters of 2000. Interest income
from loans at September 30, 2000 was $11.9 million as compared to $9.1 million
at September 30, 1999. Interest expense increased $1.6 million to $7.1 million
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 from $5.5 million for the
same period in 1999. This increase is primarily the result of the increased
balances in certificates of deposits during the first nine months of the year
2000.

Provision for Loan Losses - The Bank's provision for loan losses increased for
the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in
1999, increasing to $450,000 from $295,700. At September 30, 2000, the allowance
for non-mortgage loan losses as a percentage of the non-mortgage loan portfolio
was 1.2% as compared to 1.0% at December 31, 1999. Management periodically
evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, including an evaluation
of past loan loss experience, current economic conditions, volume, growth and
collateral of the loan portfolio. Management also reviews classified assets,
including those loans and assets listed as non-performing. Currently, management
believes that its allowance for loan losses is adequate. However, there can be
no assurances that further additions will not be needed. Management will
continue to monitor and adjust the allowance as necessary in future periods
based on growth in the loan portfolio, loss experience which has been minimal,
and the continued expected changing mix of loans in the loan portfolio. Loans
internally classified as substandard loans as of September 30, 2000 totaled
$1,948,000 and totaled $750,000 as of December 31, 1999. This increase is
related to two customers. The loans are collateralized and no loss is
anticipated. Loans classified as doubtful totaled $137,000 as of September 30,
2000 and at December 31, 1999 doubtful loans totaled $255,000. Non-accrual loans
decreased from $290,000 at December 31, 1999 to $107,000 at September 30, 2000.
Net charge offs during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000 totaled
$34,600, representing 0.02% of loans outstanding. During nine-month period
ending September 30, 1999, the Bank had charge offs of $62,931 or .05% of loans
outstanding.

Other Income - Service charges on deposit accounts increased $58,000, or 15.7%,
from $372,000 at September 30, 1999 to $430,000 for the same nine-month period
ending September 30, 2000. The three-month period ending September 30, 2000
showed an increase of $20,000 over the same period in 1999. This increase is
attributed to the rising number of transaction accounts. Other miscellaneous fee
income increased from $103,000 in the nine-months ending September 30, 1999 to
$211,000 for the nine-months ending September 30, 2000 which represents an
increase of 105%. This increase is also due to the increasing number of
transaction accounts and increases in the cash surrender value of the life
insurance policies.

Other Expenses - Other expenses for the three-month period ended September 30,
2000 increased 12.0% from $1.5 million for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1999 to $1.7 million for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$185,000. Salaries and employee benefits increased to $1.0 million for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 compared to $868,000 during the same
three-month period in 1999, an increase of $143,000. The nine-month period
ending September 30, 2000 had an increase in salaries and employee benefits of
$510,000 or 20.0%. Increases were noted in salaries of $407,000 due to increased
personnel in lending and technology areas. Associated with the salary increases
were additional employee benefit expenses for these employees. Occupancy
expenses increased by $221,000 for the nine-month period ending September 30,
2000, included in this is an increase of $53,000 for data processing. In
addition, the costs associated with the Bank's operations center (which opened
in June 1999) were fully included in this nine-month period in 2000.

Liquidity - The Bank's short-term liquidity was 15.89% on September 30, 2000.
The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by
the State of Georgia and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
regulations. The Bank continues to search for deposits and other means of
meeting its loan demand. The Bank adjusts its liquidity level as appropriate to
meet its asset/liability objectives. The primary sources of funds are deposits,
amortization and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturity
of investments, and funds provided from operations. As an alternative to
supplement liquidity needs, the Bank has the ability to borrow from the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and other correspondent banks. These commitments
totaled $18.5 million at September 30, 2000 with no funds drawn. Scheduled loan
amortization and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable
source of funds, however, deposit flow and loan prepayments are greatly
influenced by, among other things, market interest rates, economic conditions,
and competition. The Bank's liquidity, represented by cash, cash equivalents,
and securities available for sale, is a product of its operating, investing, and
financing activities.
