NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   GENERAL

     The accounting  and reporting  policies of Fidelity  Bankshares,  Inc. (the
"Company") and its subsidiary Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust (the "Bank") conform
to accounting  principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
to predominant practices within the thrift industry. The Company has not changed
its  accounting and reporting  policies from those  disclosed in its 2001 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

     The Company conducts no business other than holding the common stock of the
Bank.  Consequently,  its net income is derived from the operations of the Bank.
In the opinion of the Company's management,  all adjustments necessary to fairly
present the consolidated  financial position of the Company at June 30, 2002 and
the results of its  consolidated  operations  and cash flows for the period then
ended, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been included.

     In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAF No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets".  SFAS No. 142  discontinues  the  practice of  amortizing  goodwill and
intangible  assets with  indefinite  lives and  initiates  an annual  review for
impairment of these assets.  The Company has adopted this  accounting  principle
beginning  January 1, 2002 and did not identify any  impairment  in the carrying
value of goodwill arising from previous  acquisitions.  Amortization of goodwill
included in the Company's  income statement for the quarter and six months ended
June 30 2001 was $63,000 and $125,000, respectively.

     In June  2001,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  143,  "Accounting  for  Asset
Retirement  Obligations".  The statement applies to legal obligations associated
with the  retirement  of a  tangible  long-lived  asset  that  results  from the
acquisition,  construction,  or  development  and/or the normal  operation  of a
long-lived asset, except for certain lessee obligations.  The statement requires
these  obligations be recorded at fair value as of the date of retirement and is
effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2002. The Company does not
believe that the adoption of this  accounting  principle will have a significant
effect on it's financial statements.

     In  August  2001,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  144,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment  or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets".  This  statement  establishes a
single  accounting  model for  long-lived  assets to be disposed of by sale, and
requires  that  long-lived  assets  to  be  abandoned,   exchanged  for  similar
productive  assets, or distributed to owners in a spinoff be considered held and
used until disposed.  The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1,
2002. The adoption did not have an effect on the Company's financial statements.

     Certain  amounts in the  financial  statements  have been  reclassified  to
conform with the June 30, 2002 presentation.

2.   REORGANIZATION AND SECOND STEP CONVERSION

     The Company completed the mutual-to-stock  conversion of its mutual holding
company parent on May 15, 2001 and the related common stock offering resulted in
the Company  selling  8,695,943  shares of common  stock for $10.00 per share to
certain customers of Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust, its benefit plans, including
the employee  stock  ownership  plan,  and to existing  public  stockholders  of
Fidelity  Bankshares,  Inc.  In  addition,  7,048,207  shares were issued to the
existing  stockholders  based on an exchange rate of 2.4165 new shares of common
stock for each existing share. At the completion of the conversion,  the Company
had 15,744,150 shares outstanding

     The  conversion  was  accounted  for as a change in corporate  form with no
subsequent change in the historical basis of the Company's  assets,  liabilities
and equity.  All references in the consolidated  financial  statements and notes
thereto to share data  (including  number of shares and per-share  amounts) have
been restated giving retroactive recognition to the exchange rate.

     The Bank's  policy on interest  income on impaired  loans is to reverse all
accrued  interest  against  interest  income if a loan becomes more than 90 days
delinquent  and cease accruing  interest  thereafter.  Such interest  ultimately
collected is credited to income in the period of recovery.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
           and Results of Operations

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General.

     Fidelity Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") is the parent company of Fidelity
Federal Bank & Trust ("Fidelity Federal" or the "Bank"). The Company conducts no
business  other than  holding the common  stock of the Bank.  Consequently,  the
Company's net income is primarily  derived from the Bank.  The Bank's net income
is  primarily  dependent  on its net interest  income,  which is the  difference
between  interest  income  earned  on its  investments  in  mortgage  loans  and
mortgage-backed securities,  other investment securities and loans, and its cost
of funds consisting of interest paid on deposits and borrowings.  The Bank's net
income also is  affected by its  provision  for loan  losses,  as well as by the
amount of other  income,  including  income from fees and service  charges,  net
gains and losses on sales of investments, and operating expense such as employee
compensation and benefits,  deposit insurance premiums,  occupancy and equipment
costs, and income taxes. Earnings of the Bank also are affected significantly by
general  economic and  competitive  conditions,  particularly  changes in market
interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities, which
events are beyond the control of the Bank. In  particular,  the general level of
market interest rates tends to be highly cyclical.

     The Company completed the mutual-to-stock  conversion of its mutual holding
company parent on May 15, 2001 and the related common stock offering resulted in
the Company  selling  8,695,943  shares of common  stock for $10.00 per share to
certain customers of Fidelity Federal Bank & Trust, its benefit plans, including
the employee  stock  ownership  plan,  and to existing  public  stockholders  of
Fidelity  Bankshares,  Inc.,  which net of expenses raised $79.6 million in cash
for the  Company.  In  addition,  7,048,207  shares were issued to the  existing
stockholders  based on an exchange rate of 2.4165 new shares of common stock for
each  existing  share.  At the  completion  of the  conversion,  the Company had
15,744,150 shares outstanding.  At June 30, 2002 there were 15,802,206 shares of
common stock outstanding.

Forward-Looking Statements.

     When used in this report,  the words or phrases "will likely  result," "are
expected  to," "will  continue,"  "is  anticipated,"  "estimate,"  "project"  or
similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within
the  meaning of the  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform  Act of 1995.  Such
statements  are subject to certain  risks and  uncertainties,  including,  among
other  things,  changes in economic  conditions  in the  Company's  market area,
changes in policies by  regulatory  agencies,  fluctuations  in interest  rates,
demand for loans in the Company's  market area and competition  that could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently
anticipated  or projected.  The Company  wishes to caution  readers not to place
undue reliance on any such  forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as of
the date made.  The Company  wishes to advise  readers  that the factors  listed
above  could  affect the  Company's  financial  performance  and could cause the
Company's  actual  results  for  future  periods to differ  materially  from any
opinions or statements  expressed  with respect to future periods in any current
statements.

Other Comprehensive Income/Loss.

     The Company's only component of Other Comprehensive  Income for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 is the change in the unrealized gain
or loss on assets available for sale.



     Other comprehensive  income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $1.2
million compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.  During
the six months ended June 30, 2002,  the market  value of the  Company's  assets
available  for sale  increased  by $1.9  million,  which  net of  income  tax of
$738,000 resulted in other comprehensive income of $1.2 million.  During the six
months ended June 30, 2001, the value of the Company's assets available for sale
increased  by $3.6  million  which net of $1.4 million in income tax resulted in
other comprehensive income of $2.2 million.

     Other  comprehensive  income for the  quarter  ended June 30, 2002 was $1.5
million  compared to $368,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001,  representing
an increase of $1.1 million.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2002, the market
value of the  Company's  assets  available  for sale  increased by $2.5 million,
which net of income tax of $957,000  resulted in Other  Comprehensive  Income of
$1.5 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, the value of the Company's
assets  available for sale increased by $604,000 which net of $236,000 in income
tax resulted in other comprehensive income of $368,000.

Changes in Financial Condition.

     The Company's  assets  increased by $218.7  million to $2.4 billion at June
30, 2002 from $2.1 billion at December 31, 2001. Net loans receivable  increased
by $161.2 million,  while cash and assets  available for sale increased by $53.9
million. In addition, the Bank increased its investment in office properties and
equipment,  primarily  for new office sites,  by $3.1  million,  while all other
assets  increased  by $496,000.  Funds for the increase in assets were  provided
primarily  as a result of an increase in  deposits of $186.1  million,  together
with increases in other  liabilities  in the amount of $29.8  million,  of which
advances from Federal Home Loan Bank were $18.2 million. The Company's equity at
June 30, 2002 increased by $2.7 million from December 31, 2001. Equity increased
as a  result  of net  income  for  the six  months  of $8.1  million  and  other
comprehensive  income of $1.2 million.  Partially  offsetting these increases in
equity  were  dividends  declared of $3.1  million  and the  purchase of 195,500
shares of the Company's common stock for $4.0 million during the six months.

Results of Operations.

     Net  income  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2002  was $8.1  million,
representing  an increase of $6.3 million  compared to $1.9 million for the same
period in 2001.  The  primary  reasons for this  increase,  which are more fully
described below,  were an increase in net interest income of $11.6 million along
with an increase in other income of $1.3  million.  The increase in net interest
income  was caused by a  decrease  in  interest  expense  on  deposits  of $13.6
million,  along  with a  decrease  in  interest  income of $1.6  million.  These
increases  were  partially  offset by an increase in operating  expenses of $2.8
million and an increase in the income tax provision of $4.0 million.



     Net income for the  quarter  ended June 30, 2002 was $4.1  million,  a $2.8
million  increase  compared  to $1.3  million  for the same  2001  quarter.  The
principal causes for this increase,  which are more fully described below,  were
an increase in net  interest  income of $5.6  million  along with an increase in
other income of $790,000.  The  increase in net interest  income  consisted of a
decrease in interest  expense of $6.3 million  along with a decrease in interest
income of $651,000.  These  increases  were  partially  offset by an increase in
operating  expenses of $1.8 million and an increase in the  provision for income
taxes of $1.8 million for the quarter  ended June 30, 2002  compared to June 30,
2001.

Interest Income.

     Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $68.0 million, a
decrease of $1.6 million or 2.3% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001.
The primary  reason for this  decrease  was a decrease  in interest  income from
mortgage-backed and corporate debt securities of $5.3 million.  This decline was
due to a decrease in the average balance of theses  securities to $216.4 million
from $320.0 million as well as a decrease in the average yield to 4.20% compared
to 6.15 % for the six  months  ended  June  30,  2002  and  2001,  respectively.
Interest  income from  investment  securities  also  decreased by .$400,000 as a
result of a decrease in the average yield to 3.60% from 6.27% for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Partially offsetting these decreases
was an  increase  in  interest  income  from loans to $59.9  million for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 from $55.4 million for the same period in 2001.

     Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002, totaled $34.3 million,
representing  a decrease  of $651,000  or 1.9%  compared to the same  quarter in
2001. The Bank's interest income from loans increased by $2.3 million, primarily
as a result of an  increase  of 20.1% in the  average  balance  of loans to $1.7
billion  from  $1.4  billion  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  2002 and  2001,
respectively. Interest income from mortgage-backed and corporate debt securities
decreased to $2.2 million for the quarter  ended June 30, 2002 from $4.5 million
for the 2001 quarter. This decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance
of such securities of $108.6 million, as well as a decrease in the average yield
of these  securities to 4.27% in 2002 from 5.73% in 2001. There was a decline in
interest income from  investment  securities of $548,000  principally  resulting
from a  decrease  in the  average  yield of these  securities  to 3.39%  for the
quarter  ended June 30,  2002 from 6.23% for the  quarter  ended June 30,  2001.
Interest income also decreased on other  investments by $124,000 due mainly to a
decrease in the average yield on these  investments  to 2.45% from 6.20% for the
quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Interest Expense.

     Interest  expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $31.6 million,
a decrease  of $13.2  million  or 29.4% from the  comparable  2001  period.  The
principal cause for this decrease was a decrease in interest expense on deposits
of $13.6 million caused  primarily by a decrease in the average cost of deposits
to 2.42% in 2002 from 4.50% in 2001 due to a lower rate environment. The average
balance of deposits  increased to $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30,
2002 compared to $1.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Bank's
interest  expense on  borrowed  funds  increased  by  $381,000 as a result of an
increase in the average  balance of these  funds to $376.5  million  from $328.8
million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average cost of
borrowed funds to 5.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 6.36%
for the 2001 period.



     Interest  expense  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  2002,  totaled  $15.8
million,  a decrease of $6.3 million or 28.5% from the same quarter in 2001. The
principal cause for this decline was a decrease in interest  expense on deposits
of $6.6 million.  The average balance of deposits  increased to $1.8 billion for
the quarter  ended June 30, 2002  compared to $1.6 billion for the quarter ended
June 30,  2001,  but the cost of those  deposits  declined to 2.36%  compared to
4.36% for the comparative quarters.  The decline in the cost of deposits had two
principal causes.  The Bank's core deposits,  which consist of  interest-bearing
and  non  interest-bearing  transaction  accounts,  money  market  accounts  and
passbook accounts increased as a percentage of total deposits from 42.0% at June
30, 2001 to 53.9% at June 30,  2002.  In  addition,  the  majority of the Bank's
certificates of deposit repriced in a lower rate  environment.  Interest expense
on borrowed funds increased by $282,000  caused  primarily by an increase in the
average balance of such funds to $378.0 million from $327.4  million.  Partially
offsetting this increase was a decrease in the average cost of borrowed funds to
5.77% for the  quarter  ended June 30, 2002 from 6.32% for the  comparable  2001
quarter.

Net Interest Income.

     While the Company's  interest income  decreased by $1.6 million for the six
months  ended  June 30,  2002,  compared  to the same  period in 2001,  interest
expense  decreased by $13.2 million,  resulting in net interest  income of $36.3
million for the six months ended June 30, 2002.  This represents a $11.6 million
or 47.1%  increase in net  interest  income when  compared to the same period in
2001.

     During the quarter  ended June 30,  2002,  the  Company's  interest  income
decreased  by $651,000  compared  to the same  quarter in 2001,  while  interest
expense  decreased by $6.3  million,  resulting in net interest  income of $18.5
million for the quarter  ended June 30,  2002,  $5.6  million or 43.8% more than
realized in 2001.

Provision for Loan Losses.

     Our provision for loan losses  decreased by $89,000 to $817,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 from $906,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
However,  during the six months ended June 30, 2001 the Bank had a specific loan
loss provision in the amount of $280,000.  Net of this specific  provision,  our
provision for the period would have increased  compared to last year by $191,000
which management considers reasonable in light of the Bank's continued increased
originations of consumer,  commercial business and commercial real estate loans.
The Bank's total  allowance  for loan losses at June 30, 2002 of $7.4 million is
maintained at a level that  represents  management's  best estimate of losses in
the loan  portfolio  at the  balance  sheet  date that were  both  probable  and
reasonably  estimable.  The Bank's ratio of non-performing  loans to total loans
was .33% and .31% at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.



     The  provision  for loan losses was $316,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
2002,  compared to $326,000 for the quarter  ended June 30, 2001.  The provision
for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 is deemed adequate by management in light of
the risks inherent in the Bank's loan portfolio.

     Our  financial  statements  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and,  accordingly,
allowances  for loan  losses are based on  management's  estimate  of the losses
inherent in the loan  portfolio.  We provide both general  valuation  allowances
(for unspecified,  probable losses) and specific valuation allowances (for known
losses) in our loan  portfolio.  General  valuation  allowances are added to the
Bank's  capital  for  purposes of  computing  the Bank's  regulatory  risk-based
capital.  We regularly review our loan portfolio,  including  impaired loans, to
determine  whether any loans  require  classification  or the  establishment  of
appropriate  valuation  allowances.  Since we are increasing our  origination of
commercial  business loans and commercial  real estate  mortgages and since such
loans are deemed to have more credit risk than  residential  mortgage loans, our
provision for loan losses is likely to increase in future periods.

Other Income.

     Other  income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $7.5  million,  an
increase of $1.3 million  compared to the six months  ended June 30, 2001.  This
increase is due in part to an increase in service charges on deposit accounts of
$956,000,  resulting  principally  from an  increase in  business  and  personal
checking accounts.  Also fees for other banking services,  which includes income
from insurance  sales and trust services  increased by $710,000 in 2002 compared
to 2001.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $319,000 in net
gain on sale of loans,  mortgage-backed  securities and investments as well as a
decrease in other miscellaneous  income of $25,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2002 to the comparable 2001 period.

     Other  income  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  2002  was  $4.0  million,
representing an increase of $790,000  compared to the same quarter in 2001. This
increase is principally due to increases in service charges on deposit  accounts
of $510,000 and fees for other banking services of $361,000.  Also  contributing
to this  increase  was an  increase  in other  miscellaneous  income of $19,000.
Partially  offsetting  these  increases  was a  decrease  in net gain on sale of
loans,  mortgage-backed  securities and  investments of $100,000 to $21,000 from
$121,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Operating Expense.

     Operating  expenses  increased by $2.8 million to $30.0 million for the six
months  ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months  ended June 30,  2001.
Employee  compensation and benefits  increased by $2.6 million.  The increase in
employee  compensation,  which includes normal salary  increases,  also includes
increases in commission based pay caused by growth in the Bank's loans, deposits
and insurance sales. Also contributing to this increase are increases in pension
costs of $549,000,  an increase in medical expenses of $156,000,  an increase in
cost due to the Bank's  Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan (ESOP) of $299,000  and
expense  related  to  the  Company's   Recognition  and  Retention  Plan  (RRP),
established  May 21,  2002,  of  $182,000.  With respect to the increase in ESOP
expense,  the period ending June 30, 2001 reflects  expense for one and one half
months  while  the same  period in 2002  includes  six  months of such  expense.
Occupancy  and equipment  costs  increased by $463,000 due in part to additional
depreciation  expenses  relating  to  new  computer  equipment  and  new  branch
facilities.  Partially  offsetting these increases was a slight increase in gain
on real estate owned of $65,000 and a decrease in marketing  expense of $12,000.
While other  operating  expense  decreased  by $234,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001,  this  included a $1.1  million  charge  relating to the
termination of a data  processing  service  contract during the six months ended
June 30, 2001. Had this charge not occurred,  other  operating  expenses for the
six months increased by approximately $865,000. This increase in other operating
expense  is due  mainly to the  growth in the  Bank's  loans  and  deposits  and
includes  increases in telephone,  office  supplies,  general  insurance  costs,
armored car services and other expenses.



     During the quarter  ended June 30, 2002,  operating  expenses  increased by
$1.8 million to $15.4  million from $13.6 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2001. Employee compensation and benefits increased by $1.2 million. The increase
in employee compensation,  which includes normal salary increases, also includes
increases in commission based pay caused by growth in the Bank's loans, deposits
and insurance sales.  Also contributing to the increase are increases in pension
costs of $192,000 and an increase in cost due to the Bank's ESOP of $120,000 and
MRP of $182,000.  Occupancy  and  equipment  costs  increased by $199,000 due in
part, as explained above, to additional  depreciation  expenses  relating to new
computer equipment and new branch facilities. Also contributing to this increase
were  increases  in gain on real  estate  owned of $61,000,  marketing  costs of
$21,000 and other  operating  expense of $485,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
2002 compared to 2001. This increase in other operating expense is due mainly to
the growth in the Bank's loans and deposits and includes increases in telephone,
office supplies,  general insurance costs, armored car services,  temporary help
and other miscellaneous expenses.

Income Taxes.

     Provision  for income  taxes was $5.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 2002  compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.  This
increase was  attributable to an increase in income before  provision for income
taxes of $10.3 million to $13.4 million in 2002 from $3.1 million in 2001. These
expenses  approximate the rates paid by the Company for Federal and state income
taxes applied to the Company's pre-tax income.

     The income tax  provision  was $2.7 million for the quarter  ended June 30,
2002  compared to $857,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.  These  expenses
approximate  the rates paid for Federal and State  income  taxes  applied to the
Company's pre-tax income.

Market Risk Analysis.

     As a holding  company for a financial  institution,  the Company's  primary
component of market risk is interest rate  volatility.  Fluctuations in interest
rates will ultimately  impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a
large portion of the Bank's assets and liabilities,  and the market value of all
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which
possess  a  short  term  to  maturity.  Since  the  majority  of  the  Company's
interest-bearing  liabilities  and nearly all of the Company's  interest-earning
assets are held by the Bank,  virtually all of the Company's  interest rate risk
exposure lies at the Bank level. As a result, all significant interest rate risk
management  procedures  are performed by management of the Bank.  Based upon the
nature of the Bank's  operations,  the Bank is not  subject to foreign  currency
exchange or commodity  price risk.  The Bank's loan  portfolio  is  concentrated
primarily in Palm Beach, Martin and Broward Counties in Florida and is therefore
subject to risks  associated  with the local  economy.  As of June 30, 2002, the
Company does not own any trading assets, other than $1,027,000 of assets held by
the SMPIAP Trust which can be actively traded by and are held for the benefit of
senior  management.  Income in these  accounts  accrues to and losses are solely
absorbed by senior  management.  At June 30, 2002, the Company does not have any
hedging transactions in place such as interest rate swaps and caps.



Asset and Liability Management-Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis.

     The majority of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature
which subjects the Company to  significant  interest rate risk. As stated above,
the  majority  of the  Company's  interest-earning  assets and  interest-bearing
liabilities  are held by the Bank and  therefore  virtually all of the Company's
interest rate risk exposure lies at the Bank level.

     The Bank monitors interest rate risk by various methods including analyzing
changes in its Market  Value of  Portfolio  Equity  ("MVPE").  MVPE is generally
defined as the difference  between the market value of the Bank's assets and the
market  value of the Bank's  liabilities.  The Bank uses an internal  model that
generates  estimates of the Bank's MVPE over a range of interest rate scenarios.
The model  calculates  MVPE  essentially by discounting  the cash flows from the
Bank's assets and  liabilities  to present value using current  market rates and
adjusting those discount rates accordingly for various interest rate scenarios.

     The following table sets forth the Bank's estimated  internal  calculations
of MVPE as of June 30, 2002.

Changes in Rates                   Market Value of Portfolio Equity
  (Rate Shock)                  $  Amount     $ Change         % Change
  ============                  ========================================
                                           (Dollars in Thousands)

  +200bp                      $ 322,878       $ (2,315)          0.71%
  +100bp                        325,555            362           0.11%
    -0-                         325,193              0            0.0%
  -100bp                        306,925        (18,268)          5.62%


     In preparing the MVPE table above, the Company makes various assumptions to
determine the net portfolio value at the assumed changes in interest rate. These
assumptions include loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates and market values
of certain assets and  liabilities  under the various  interest rate  scenarios.
While  management  believes these  assumptions to be reasonable  there can be no
assurance that our assets and liabilities  would be impacted as indicated in the
table  above.  Certain  shortcomings  are  inherent in any  methodology  used in
interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in MVPE requires the making of
certain  assumptions  that may or may not  reflect  how actual  yields and costs
respond to changes in market rates.  For example,  although  certain  assets and
liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing,  they may react
in different degrees to changes in market interest rates.  Also,  interest rates
on certain  types of assets and  liabilities  may fluctuate in advance of or lag
behind changes in market interest rates.  Additionally,  certain assets, such as
ARM loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term
basis  and over the life of the  assets.  Moreover,  in the event of a change in
interest  rates,  prepayment and early  withdrawal  levels may possibly  deviate
significantly from those assumed in calculating the above table.  Management has
also  made  estimates  of fair  value  discount  rates  that it  believes  to be
reasonable.  However, due to the fact that there is no quoted market for many of
the assets and  liabilities,  management  has no  definitive  basis to determine
whether the fair values presented would be indicative of the value negotiated in
an actual sale.

<page>

     Accordingly,  while the above  table  provides  an  estimate  of the Bank's
interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, it is not intended to
provide a precise  forecast  of the effect of market  changes on the Bank's MVPE
and net interest income, as actual results may vary.

     Under OTS risk-based capital regulations, savings associations are required
to  calculate  the  MVPE.  These  calculations  are based  upon data  concerning
interest-earning assets,  interest-bearing  liabilities and other rate sensitive
assets and  liabilities  provided  to the OTS on schedule  CMR of the  quarterly
Thrift  Financial  Report.  Commencing  June 30, 1994, for purposes of measuring
interest rate risk, the OTS began using the MVPE calculations  which essentially
discount the cash flows from an institution's  assets and liabilities to present
value,  using current  market rates.  There are  differences  between the Bank's
internal  assumptions used to calculate the previously  presented MVPE and those
used by the OTS. For example,  the Bank's internally  calculated decay rates for
certain NOW,  passbook and money market  accounts  produces an average  expected
life for these  instruments which is longer than the average expected life using
the OTS standard assumptions for these same instruments. Accordingly, the Bank's
previously  presented MVPE  calculations  are not  representative  of those that
would be produced by the OTS.

     The  Bank's  policy in recent  years has been to  reduce  its  exposure  to
interest rate risk  generally by better  matching the maturities of its interest
rate sensitive  assets and  liabilities  and by originating  ARM loans and other
adjustable  rate  or  short-term  loans,  as well  as by  purchasing  short-term
investments. However, particularly in a low interest rate environment, borrowers
typically  prefer  fixed  rate  loans to ARM  loans.  The Bank does not  solicit
high-rate jumbo certificates or brokered funds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

     The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined
by OTS regulations.  This requirement,  which varies from time to time depending
upon  economic  conditions  and deposit  flows,  is based upon a  percentage  of
deposits and short-term  borrowings.  The Bank's liquidity ratio averaged 11.14%
during the month of June 2002.  Liquidity ratios averaged 12.20% for the quarter
ended June 30,  2002.  The Bank  adjusts its  liquidity  levels in order to meet
funding needs of loan  originations,  deposit  outflows,  payment of real estate
taxes on mortgage loans, and repayment of borrowings and loan  commitments.  The
Bank also  adjusts  liquidity  as  appropriate  to meet its asset and  liability
management objectives.

     The  Bank's  primary  sources  of  funds  are  deposits,  amortization  and
prepayment  of  loans  and  mortgage-backed   securities  and  other  short-term
investments,  as well as earnings  and funds  provided  from  operations.  While
scheduled  principal  repayments on loans and  mortgage-backed  securities are a
relatively  predictable source of funds,  deposit flows and loan prepayments are
greatly   influenced  by  general  interest  rates,   economic   conditions  and
competition.  The Bank manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a desired
deposit  balance.  In  addition,  the Bank invests  excess  funds in  short-term
interest-earning  and other  assets,  which  provide  liquidity  to meet lending
requirements.  Short-term  interest-bearing  deposits  with the FHLB of  Atlanta
amounted  to $128.3  million  at June 30,  2002.  Other  assets  qualifying  for
liquidity  at June 30,  2002,  including  unpledged  mortgage-backed  securities
guaranteed by the Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  and the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation, were $122.0 million. For additional information about
cash flows from the Company's operating, financing and investing activities, see
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the Financial Statements.  The
primary  sources  of cash are net  income,  principal  repayments  on loans  and
mortgage-backed securities,  increases in deposit accounts and advances from the
FHLB.

<page>

     Liquidity  management  is both a daily and  long-term  function of business
management.  If the Bank  requires  funds  beyond its ability to  generate  them
internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB which provide an additional
source of funds.  At June 30, 2002, the Bank had $308.5 million in advances from
the FHLB. At June 30, 2002, the Bank had commitments outstanding to originate or
purchase  loans of $212.0  million.  This amount  does not include the  unfunded
portion of loans in process. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less
than  one  year at June  30,  2002,  totaled  $640.2  million.  Based  on  prior
experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will
remain with the Bank.

     In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAF No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets".  SFAS No. 142  discontinues  the  practice of  amortizing  goodwill and
intangible  assets with  indefinite  lives and  initiates  an annual  review for
impairment of these assets.  The Company has adopted this  accounting  principle
beginning  January 1, 2002 and did not identify any  impairment  in the carrying
value of goodwill arising from previous  acquisitions.  Amortization of goodwill
included in the Company's  income statement for the quarter and six months ended
June 30 2001 was $63,000 and $125,000, respectively

     In June  2001,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  143,  "Accounting  for  Asset
Retirement  Obligations".  The statement applies to legal obligations associated
with the  retirement  of a  tangible  long-lived  asset  that  results  from the
acquisition,  construction,  or  development  and/or the normal  operation  of a
long-lived asset, except for certain lessee obligations.  The statement requires
these  obligations be recorded at fair value as of the date of retirement and is
effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2002. The Company does not
believe that the adoption of this  accounting  principle will have a significant
effect on it's financial statements.

     In  August  2001,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  144,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment  or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets".  This  statement  establishes a
single  accounting  model for  long-lived  assets to be disposed of by sale, and
requires  that  long-lived  assets  to  be  abandoned,   exchanged  for  similar
productive  assets, or distributed to owners in a spinoff be considered held and
used until disposed.  The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1,
2002. The adoption did not have an effect on the Company's financial statements.
