         MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------

         The Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995  contains  safe
harbor  provisions  regarding  forward-looking  statements.  When  used  in this
discussion, the words, "believes", "anticipates", "contemplates", "expects", and
similar expressions are intended to identify  forward-looking  statements.  Such
statements  are  subject to certain  risks and  uncertainties  which could cause
actual  results to differ  materially  from  those  projected.  Those  risks and
uncertainties  include  changes in interest  rates,  risks  associated  with the
effect of opening a new branch,  the ability to control costs and expenses,  and
general economic conditions.  We undertake no obligation to publicly release the
results of any revision to those forward-looking statements which may be made to
reflect  events  or  circumstances  after  the date  hereof  or to  reflect  the
occurrence of unanticipated events.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

         At December 31, 2000,  consolidated  assets totaled $193.3 million,  an
increase of $5.7  million  from  September  30, 2000.  The asset  expansion  was
reflected in growth of the loan portfolio which increased $6.1 million.  Funding
for the loan growth was provided by a $5.0 million increase in FHLB advances.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

         General.  Net income  for the three  months  ended  December  31,  2000
decreased $6,000 to $505,000 from $511,000 for the comparable  quarter of fiscal
2000.  A decrease in the amount of service  charges  and fees on loans  combined
with expenses related to opening and operating a new branch, partially offset by
higher net interest income, were primary factors in the lower earnings.

         Interest  Income.  Interest  income  totaled $3.6 million for the three
months ended  December 31,  2000,  compared to $3.1 million  earned in the three
months ended December 31, 1999.  Interest income on loans increased $523,000 due
to a 31 basis point  improvement  in the yield,  primarily  due to higher market
rates, combined with a $20.6 million increase in the average balance outstanding
when comparing the first quarters of fiscal 2001 and 2000.

         Interest  Expense.  Interest expense totaled $2.0 million for the three
months ended  December 31, 2000, a $407,000  increase  from $1.6 million for the
comparable 2000 period. The increase was primarily due to a $348,000 increase in
interest on deposits,  due to a $12.9 million increase in average volume,  and a
71 basis  point rise in the  average  cost.  Additionally,  interest on borrowed
funds  increased  $59,000  due to  higher  volume  and  cost of  FHLB  advances.

                                       8


         Net Interest Income.  For the three months ended December 31, 2000, net
interest income was $1.6 million, up $86,000 from the net interest income earned
in the same three months of 1999.  For the three months ended December 31, 2000,
our interest rate spread and net interest  margin  decreased to 2.64% and 3.46%,
respectively,  compared to 2.93% and 3.62%,  respectively for the same period of
1999.

         Provision  for Loan Losses.  The  provision for loan losses was $30,000
for the three  months  ended  December  31,  2000 and for the same 1999  period.
Although  loans  receivable  increased 3.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001,
the level of nonperforming loans decreased from .57% of total loans at September
30, 2000 to .46% at December 31, 2000. The allowance for loan losses at December
31, 2000 was $866,000  compared to $850,000 at September 30, 2000. This increase
combined  with the decrease in  nonperforming  loans  increased the ratio of the
allowance  for loan losses to  nonperforming  assets to 106.91% at December  31,
2000 from 88.55% at September 30, 2000.  Management performs regular assessments
of the credit risk in the loan portfolio based on information  available at such
times,  including the level of our nonperforming loans and assets, trends in the
local real estate market, and current and potential charge-offs.  The assessment
of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses  involves  subjective  judgment
regarding  future  events,  and  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  additional
provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods.

         Noninterest  income.  For the three  months  ended  December  31, 2000,
noninterest income was $226,000, down 20.6% from the $286,000 for the comparable
1999 period. Service charges and fees on loans were down $49,000 to $120,000 for
the first  quarter of fiscal 2001 from  $169,000  for the  comparable  period of
fiscal 2000 due primarily to the lower number and dollar volume of loans closed.
Other fees and commissions  were down 5.9% to $96,000 for the three months ended
December 31, 2000 from $102,000 for the comparable  period of 1999 due primarily
to a $6,000 decline in income from checking.

         Noninterest  expense.  Noninterest  expense was  $962,000 for the three
months  December 31, 2000, up 8.7% from $885,000 for the comparable 1999 period.
Occupancy  and  equipment  expense  was up $32,000  due  primarily  to  expenses
associated  with the New London branch,  which opened in September of 2000. Data
processing  expense was $118,000,  up 15.4% from the comparable 1999 period, due
primarily to increased  pricing from our primary service  provider.  The cost of
Federal  insurance  of  accounts  was  down  $10,000  or  61.9%  due to a  lower
assessment by the FDIC.  Professional  fees for the three months ended  December
31, 2000 were $82,000 up $40,000 from the  comparable  1999 period due to higher
legal and accounting  fees.

         Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $309,000
for the three  months  ended  December  31,  2000,  down 12.4% from the $353,000
provision  recorded in the same three months of fiscal 2000.  The primary reason
for the decrease was the lower level of taxable income.

         Management believes that under current regulations, we will continue to
meet our minimum capital  requirements in the foreseeable future.  Events beyond
our control,  such as increased  interest  rates or a downturn in the economy in
areas in which we  operate  could  adversely  affect  future  earnings  and as a
result, our ability to meet our future minimum capital requirements.


LIQUIDITY

         Our  liquidity  is a measure of our ability to fund loans,  pay deposit
withdrawals and other cash outflows in an efficient,  cost effective manner. Our
primary sources of funds are deposits, and scheduled amortization and prepayment
of loans.  In addition,  we supplement our funding needs by borrowing funds from
the Federal Home Loan Bank  ("FHLB") of Atlanta.  As of December 31, 2000,  such
borrowed funds totaled $39 million. Loan payments and prepayments,  deposits and
borrowings are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions
and competition.

         We are required under federal regulations to maintain certain specified
levels of "liquid  assets,"  which  include  certain  United  States  government
obligations and other approved  investments.  Current  regulations require us to
maintain liquid assets of not less than 4% of net  withdrawable  accounts,  plus
short-term borrowings.  At December 31, 2000, our regulatory liquidity ratio was
10.14%.

         The  amount of  certificate  accounts,  which are  scheduled  to mature
during the next twelve months ending December 31, 2001, is  approximately  $50.3
million.  To the extent that these

                                       10


deposits do not remain  with us upon  maturity,  we believe  that we can replace
these funds with other deposits, FHLB advances or other borrowings.  It has been
our experience that a substantial portion of such maturing deposits remains with
us.

         At December  31, 2000,  we had loan  commitments  outstanding  of $19.7
million.  These commitments will be funded from deposit inflows, loan repayments
and borrowings.
