subsidiary, Heritage Bank (the Bank) and its subsidiaries, provides a full range
of banking and other financial services to individual and corporate customers in
Montgomery County, Tennessee and the surrounding counties of Tennessee and
Kentucky.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated financial
statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in
the 1997 annual report on Form 10-K. In preparing financial statements,
management is required to make assumptions and estimates which affect the
Company's reported amounts of assets, liabilities and results of operations. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The
results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September
30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the entire year.
2. Comprehensive Income
On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income
includes net income and other comprehensive income which is defined as non-owner
related transactions in equity. Comprehensive income included in equity for the
three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $89,859 and $67,252,
respectively. Comprehensive income included in equity for the nine months ended

respectively. In the first half of 1998, 53,000 shares were granted to employees
at an exercise price of $55 per share that are exercisable in five years and
expire at the end of ten years. In addition, 5,000 shares were granted under the

9. Year 2000 Issues
The approach of the year 2000 presents potential problems to computer users such
as the Company. Many computer systems in use today, particularly older computers
and computer programs, may not be able to properly interpret dates after
December 31, 1999 because they use only two digits to indicate the year in a
date. For example, the year 2000 could be interpreted as the year 1900 by such
systems. As a result, the systems could produce inaccurate data, or not function
at all.
In anticipation of this potential problem, the Company has developed a
comprehensive plan to ensure that all of its systems are able to properly deal
with the year 2000. The Company is currently testing the ability of each system
to properly perform, and is implementing corrective measures when deficiencies
8
9
are found. At this point, the Company anticipates no difficulty in achieving
full year 2000 capability and does not expect the costs of achieving full
capability to be material.
As a financial institution, the Company is also exposed to potential risk if
borrowers and depositors suffer year 2000-related difficulties and are unable to
repay their loans or maintain their deposit balances. The Company has performed
an assessment of the year 2000 readiness of significant borrowers and
depositors. At this time, the Company is unable to determine what impact, if
any, the year 2000 will have on either the loan payment performance of borrowers
or the balances of key depositors. Thus far, however, none of the Company's
borrowers or depositors have reported the expectation of material adverse
impacts as a result of the year 2000.
10. Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified in the previous year's financial
statements to conform with the current year's classifications.

HERITAGE FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company's consolidated results of operations are dependent primarily on net
interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on
interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest expense
incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and other borrowings.
The Company also generates noninterest income, including service charges on
deposit accounts and fees from mortgage banking activities, insurance sales and
brokerage services. The Company's noninterest expenses consist primarily of
employee compensation and benefits and other general and administrative
expenses.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
EARNING ASSETS. Average earning assets of the Company for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 increased 24%, or $32.7 million to $168.2 million from $135.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. This compares to average
earning asset growth of 23% for the first nine months of 1997 over the same 1996
period. The Company's ratio of average earning assets to average total assets
for the first nine months of 1998 declined to 93%, compared to 94.3% and 94.2%
for the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The 1998 decline is
due to the $4.3 million increase in average nonearning assets, due primarily to
costs associated with the construction of the main office building. The
estimated total cost of the new main office building is $8 million.
Economic growth in the local economy has enabled the Bank to achieve continued
loan growth (the primary earning asset). Average loans for the first nine months
of 1998 increased 27%, or $31.6 million to $147.8 million from $116.2 million
for the first nine months of 1997. This compares to average loan growth of 28%
for the first nine months of 1997 over the same 1996 period. The changing mix of
earning assets was favorable during the first nine months of 1998. Average loans
for the first nine months of 1998 were 88% of total average earning assets,
compared to 86% during the same 1997 period.
Average securities for the first nine months of 1998 were 12% of total average
earning assets, compared to 14% during the same 1997 period. Average securities
as a percent of average earning assets declined for the first nine months of
1998 and 1997 to fund loan growth.
FUNDING SOURCES. The Bank's primary funding source is its base of local area
deposits which consists of noninterest-bearing demand, interest checking,
savings, money market and retirement accounts, and certificates of deposit. The
average balance of the Bank's local deposit base for the first nine months of
1998 increased 14%, or $17.3 million to $141.1 from $123.8 million for the first
nine months of 1997. This compares to 20%, or $20.7 million, growth for the
first nine months of 1997 over the same period in 1996.
Due to the competitive local market for deposits, the local deposit base has
become a decreasing portion of total funding sources. The Bank supplements its
local deposit base with alternative funding sources including Federal funds
purchased, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, brokered certificates of deposit,
and certificates of deposit obtained via a national network. The average balance
of these alternative funding sources for the first nine months of 1998 increased
$16.6 million to $23.5 million from $6.9 million for the first nine months of
1997.

Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming assets 134% 252% 224%
Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming

CAPITAL. Because of solid performance and conservative capital management, the
Company has a strong capital position. Stockholders' equity was $15.6 million or
7.80% of total assets at September 30, 1998, compared to $13.3 million or 7.98%
at December 31, 1997, and $13 million or 8.17% at September 30, 1997.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the third quarter of 1998, the Company reported net income of $702,000,
compared to $597,000 in 1997. Third quarter basic net income per share increased
14% to $1.23 from $1.08 in 1997. Diluted net income per share increased 15% to
$1.21 from $1.05 in the third quarter of 1997. Annualized return on average
stockholders' equity (ROE) for the third quarter of 1998 was 18.40% compared to
18.70% in 1997. Third quarter annualized return on average assets (ROA) was
1.45% compared to 1.53% in 1997.
Year-to-date net income for 1998 was $2,165,000, compared to $1,646,000 in 1997.
Basic net income per share for the first nine months of 1998 was $3.80 and
diluted net income per share was $3.75, compared to $2.98 and $2.89,
respectively, for the first nine months of 1997. Annualized return on average
stockholders' equity for the first three quarters of 1998 was 20.04% and
annualized return on average assets was 1.60%, compared with 18.21% and 1.53%,
respectively, for the same period in 1997.
The Company's 1998 net income includes a gain of $148,000 ($95,000 after-tax)
from the sale of an industrial building by the Bank's subsidiary, Heritage
Investment Corporation. The gain increased basic net income per share $.17 and
diluted net income per share $.16 for the first nine months of 1998.
NET INTEREST INCOME (TAXABLE EQUIVALENT BASIS). Third quarter net interest
income grew $416,000, a 20% increase over 1997. The yield on average earning
assets decreased 9 basis points to 9.70% while the cost of interest-bearing
liabilities decreased 12 basis points to 4.95%. The decreased yield in average
earning assets was primarily due to competitive pressures and lower market
interest rates, while the decreased cost of interest-bearing liabilities was
attributable to lower market interest rates and capitalized interest on the new
main office building. The net interest spread was 4.75% compared to 4.72% in the
third quarter of 1997, and the net interest margin was 5.38% compared to 5.51%
in 1997. Capitalized interest costs associated with the construction of the new
main office building reduced the
11
12
cost of interest-bearing liabilities for 1998 and 1997. Had capitalized interest
been included in interest expense, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for
the third quarter of 1998 would have been 5.15% and the net interest margin
5.26%, compared with 5.13% and 5.50%, respectively, for the same period in 1997.
Year-to-date net interest income increased $1,314,000, or 23% over 1997.
Increased lending resulted in a 4 basis point increase in average earning assets
to 9.76%, as the average balance of loans rose $31.6 million. The net interest
spread was 4.79% compared to 4.66% in 1997, and the net interest margin was
5.44% compared to 5.48%. During the first three quarters of 1998 and 1997,
capitalized interest reduced the cost of interest-bearing liabilities by
$196,000 and $35,000, respectively. Had capitalized interest been included in
interest expense, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities in the first nine
months of 1998 would have been 5.15% and the net interest margin 5.34%, compared
with 5.10% and 5.50%, respectively, in 1997.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses increased 94% from
$187,000 for the third quarter of 1997 to $362,000 in 1998. Year-to-date, the
provision increased 73% over the same period last year. The increases were
required to reflect the growth in outstanding loans and chargeoffs, particularly
consumer loan chargeoffs. Annualized net chargeoffs to average portfolio loans
(excludes mortgage loans held for sale) outstanding was 0.64% for the third
quarter of 1998 compared to 0.39% for the third quarter of 1997. Year-to-date,
annualized net chargeoffs to average portfolio loans outstanding was 0.35%
compared to 0.29% in 1997.
NONINTEREST INCOME. Excluding securities gains or losses, third quarter 1998
noninterest income increased 9% or $81,000 over the 1997 amount. Excluding
securities gains or losses, noninterest income contributed 29% of tax equivalent
income in the third quarter of 1998 as compared to 31% in the third quarter of
1997.
In the first half of 1998, the Company realized a gain of $148,000 from the sale
of an industrial building by the Bank's subsidiary, Heritage Investment
Corporation. Year-to-date noninterest income (excluding securities gains or
losses and the nonrecurring gain from the sale of the industrial building) grew
9%, or $256,000 over the 1997 amount. Excluding securities gains or losses and
the nonrecurring gain from the sale of the industrial building, noninterest
income contributed 30% of tax equivalent income for the first nine months of
1998 as compared to 33% in 1997.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE. For the third quarter of 1998, noninterest expense
increased 8% or $137,000 as compared to 1997. The expense ratio (noninterest
expense minus noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, divided
by average assets) was 1.95% and 2.29% for the third quarter of 1998 and 1997,
respectively. The efficiency ratio, which is calculated excluding the same
items, divides noninterest expense by net interest income (tax equivalent) plus
noninterest income. The efficiency ratio was 56.56% and 61.42% for the third
quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively.
For the first nine months, noninterest expense increased 10% or $545,000 as
compared to 1997. The expense ratio for the first three quarters of 1998 was
1.94% and the efficiency ratio was 57.31%, compared with 2.31% and 61.84%,
respectively, in 1997. Noninterest expense will increase due to additional
occupancy expense following the completion of construction of the new main
office building.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The Company's effective income tax rate was 37% for
the third quarters of 1998 and 1997. The effective income tax rate was 37% and
36% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
