ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------

FINANCIAL CONDITION

For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, total assets decreased from
approximately $105,807,000 to $104,773,000, a $1,034,000 decrease from 1996.
Interest bearing deposits decreased $7,291,000, which helped to fund the return
of capital dividends of $7,592,000 in July, 1997.  The Bank paid a $4.00 per
share return of  capital dividend to its stockholders.  Investment securities
decreased $1,578,158 or 15.1% due to matured investments.  Loan balances
increased approximately $6,588,000 since December 31, 1996 with a significant
portion of the loan growth concentrated in construction and loans secured by 
commercial real estate.  An additional $45,000 was added to the allowance
for loan losses during the nine month period in 1997.

Deposit balances increased $156,666 during the nine month period since
December 31, 1996.  The Bank borrowed $5,050,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Atlanta to help fund its loan growth during the third quarter of 1997.

Stockholder's equity increased by the net income for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997 of $1,170,415 and equity in the vested shares under the MRP
Plan of $352,780 but was decreased by the return of capital dividend of
$7,592,208 and cash dividends paid of $632,380. A payment of $305,615 was made
on the note receivable under the ESOP Plan resulting in a net increase in equity
for the period. The unrealized loss on available for sale securities was reduced
by $7,137 with an improvement in market values during the nine month period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $386,354 compared
to $268,794 for the comparable period in 1996.  Total interest income increased
$13,269, or less than 1% while total interest expense increased $30,069 or 3.5%
due to the $5,050,000 borrowing from the FHLB during the quarter.  Net interest
income decreased $16,800 for the three month period compared to the prior year.
Other operating income increased $5,135 due primarily to ATM fees and
commissions earned by Stone Street Financial Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the
Bank formed in April, 1997, which offers Discount Brokerage Services to
customers.  Other operating expenses decreased from $846,900 in 1996 to $604,092
for the three month period ending September 30, 1997, a decrease of $242,808 or
28.7%.  This decrease is a combination of an increase in compensation expense of
$190,100 with the implementation of the Management Recognition Plan approved by
the Stockholders in April, 1997, offset by a $489,063 decrease in insurance
expense.  In September, 1996, deposit insurance premiums included a $423,000
charge due to the special one time assessment by the FDIC.

Other expenses increased $54,910 or 84.99% and includes costs associated with
expanding customer services through Stone Street Financial Services Discount
Brokerage Program and improving the Bank's lending procedures and improving loan
documentation policies.  Income tax expense increased $113,583 as a result of
the improved profitability during the three month period.  Earnings per share
increased from $.15 per share to $.20 per share due to the improved
profitability.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CON'T)
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $1,170,415 compared
to $1,012,052 in 1996.  Interest income increased $317,625 or 5.35% due
primarily to the $6,588,000 increase in loan balances combined with interest
earned on the $26,332,000 of funds generated through the stock conversion in
1996.  Interest expense decreased from $2,760,123 in 1996 to $2,557,117 in 1997,
a $203,006 or 7.35% decrease during the comparable nine month period.  This
decrease is the result of lower rates paid on deposits in 1997.  Net interest
income after considering a $45,000 increase in the loan loss provision for the
comparable nine month periods, increased $505,631 or 16.1%.  Other operating
income increased $15,813 due to increases in ATM fees and commission income
earned by the Bank's newly formed subsidiary.

Other operating expenses increased from $1,654,163 to $1,879,049, a $224,886 or
13.60% increase.  The largest increase in operating expenses occurred in
compensation and related benefits which increased $636,157 due to the
implementation of employee benefits  plans.  The compensation expense recognized
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $352,780 and represents 20%
vesting in the MRP Plan for 1997 for employees and directors.  The Bank's
expense for its contribution to the Employee Stock Option Plan, the "ESOP",
totaled $157,571 for the nine month period ended September 30,1997.  The
increase in compensation and related benefits was offset by the $536,882
decrease in FDIC deposit premiums.  In September, 1996 the Bank incurred the
special one time assessment of $423,000.  Other expenses increased $131,003 and
includes costs of implementing new customer programs, automating documentation
processes and improving internal control systems.  Income tax expense increased
$138,195 as the Bank's profitability for the nine month period increased.
Earnings per share increased from $.55 per share year to date in 1996 to 
$.63 per share year to date in 1997.
