                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

                                       OF

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS



         During the first quarter of 1996,  assets were $60,091,976  compared to
$59,410,202  on  December  31, 1995 an  increase  of  $681,774.  During the same
period,   total  deposits   increased  by  $749,743  while  loans  increased  by
$1,708,143.

         Net profits for the first three months of 1996 were  $163,066  compared
to a profit of $57,375  during the first  three  months of 1995.  On a per share
basis,  profits  during the three month  period  ending March 31, 1996 were $.38
compared  to a  profit  of  $.13  in 1995  during  the  same  period.  The  bank
transferred  $2,500 to loan loss reserve in 1996 whereas no transfers  were made
during the same quarter in 1995.

         As noted loan growth  increased by $1,708,143  during the first quarter
of 1996.  Management  plans to  continue  growth  in loans  and will  strive  to
maintain loans as its primary earning asset.

         During 1995  Granville  United  Bank  acquired  deposits  from a Branch
Banking & Trust branch in Butner,  North  Carolina and deposits  from a Southern
National Bank branch located in Creedmoor, North Carolina. A full service branch
was opened in Creedmoor on February 21,  1995.  The bank's  acquisition  created
additional  expenses in 1995 thus lowering first quarter  earnings.  In 1996 the
bank incurred expenses related to a data processor  conversion.  However,  these
expenses were minimal  compared to the acquisition cost during the first quarter
of 1995.

         Granville  United Bank's capital to asset ratio was 10.50 at the end of
the first. The return on average assets for the three month period was .27%.
