ITEM 2.   ACQUISITION OF ASSETS.

     On August 22, 1996 Newnan Savings Bank, FSB announced that it had 
completed its reorganization of the savings bank into a holding company to be 
named Newnan Holdings, Inc. ("Company"). Simultaneous with the 
reorganization, the Company completed its acquisition of Southside Financial 
Group, Inc. and its subsidiary, the Citizens Bank and Trust of Fayette 
County. Both Newnan Savings Bank and Citizens Bank and Trust will operate as 
subsidiaries of the Company (Southside Financial Group, Inc. will be 
dissolved).

     As a result of the reorganization into the holding company, Newnan 
Savings Bank shareholders received one share of stock in the Company in 
exchange for one share of stock in the savings bank. Each outstanding share 
of Southside will be converted into the right to receive merger consideration 
in an amount equal to $41.00. The terms of the acquisition also provide that 
a Southside shareholder who owns 5,000 or more shares may elect to receive up 
to 50% of his or her merger consideration in the form of Newnan Holdings 
stock; however, no more than 145,000 additional shares of Newnan Holdings 
will be issued. The Company expects to issue approximately 133,000 shares of 
Newnan Holdings, Inc. Stock and pay approximately $13.8 million in cash to 
Southside Shareholders. Further information regarding the terms of the 
reorganization and the acquisition is contained in the Joint Proxy Statement 
for Special Meeting of Shareholders held August 21, 1996 under the captions 
"Terms of the Newnan Savings Reorganization" and "Terms of the Southside 
Acquisition", respectively, and is incorporated herein by reference to the 
Registration Statement on Form S-4 Registration Number 333-4304.

     Newnan Holdings will have approximately $250 million in assets.

     A copy of the press release announcing the execution of the agreement is 
attached hereto as Exhibit 99, and by this reference made a part hereof.
