COMMUNITY FIRST BANKING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS

GENERAL

Community First Banking Company (the "Company") is the financial holding company
of its  wholly  owned  subsidary,  Community  First Bank (the  "Bank"),  a state
commercial bank chartered in the state of Georgia.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On May 23,  2001,  the Company  consummated  its  acquisition  of First  Deposit
Bancshares,  Inc. ("First  Deposit") through the merger of First Deposit and its
bank subsidiary,  Douglas Federal Bank, FSB, with and into the Bank. The banking
offices of Douglas  Federal Bank became  branches of Community  First Bank as of
the effective date of the merger.  Pursuant to shareholder  elections  under the
terms of the  Agreement  and Plan of Merger dated as of January 18, 2001,  total
consideration  paid to former FDBI  shareholders  totaled 723,675 shares of CFBC
stock and  $14,836,076.89  in cash. The merger was accounted for as a "purchase"
which means that, for accounting and financial  reporting  purposes,  the assets
and  liabilities  of First Deposit as of the  effective  time of the merger were
recorded at their  respective  fair  values and added to those of the Bank.  The
Company's  financial  statements for the period ended June 30, 2001 reflect such
values and prior financial statements are not restated  retroactively to reflect
First Deposit's historical financial position or results of operations.

MERGER AGREEMENT WITH BB&T CORPORATION

On  July  10,  2001,  the  Company   entered  into  an  Agreement  and  Plan  of
Reorganization with BB&T Corporation  ("BB&T"),  a regional bank holding company
with approximately $64.2 billion in assets.  Under the agreement,  each share of
common stock of the Company  outstanding at the effective time will be converted
into the right to receive 0.98 of a share of common stock of BB&T,  plus cash in
lieu of any fractional share of BB&T common stock. The merger,  which is subject
to the  approval  of the  Company's  shareholders  and  banking  regulators,  is
expected to be  completed  in the fourth  quarter of 2001.  The  transaction  is
expected to be accounted for as a purchase.

NOTE 2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements (except for the
statement of financial  condition on December 31, 2000,  which is audited)  have
been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes  required by generally accepted
accounting  principles  for  complete  financial  statements.  In the opinion of
management,  all  adjustments  (none of which were other than  normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the  financial  position  and
results of operations  for the periods  presented  have been  included.  Certain
amounts in the prior  year's  financial  statements  have been  reclassified  to
conform with the 2001 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net
income. The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of the  Company  and the Bank.  All  significant  intercompany  items  have been
eliminated.

The results of  operations  for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for
the year ended  December  31,  2001.  The  accompanying  consolidated  financial
statements and related notes of Community  First Banking  Company and subsidiary
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and related notes  included in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2000.

NOTE 3. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

In 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and Hedging  Activities."  SFAS No. 133  establishes  accounting  and  reporting
standards  for hedging  derivatives  and for  derivative  instruments  including
derivative  instruments embedded in other contracts.  It requires the fair value
recognition of derivatives as assets or liabilities in the financial statements.
The accounting for the changes in the fair value of a derivative  depends on the
intended use of the  derivative  instrument at inception.  Changes in fair value
for instruments used as fair value hedges are recorded in earnings of the period
simultaneous with accounting for the fair value change of the item being hedged.
Changes in fair value for cash flow hedges are recorded in comprehensive  income
rather than earnings.  Changes in fair value for derivative instruments that are
not  intended  as a hedge are  recorded in earnings of the period of the change.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. At
the date of initial  application,  an entity may  transfer  any held to maturity
security into the available for sale or trading  categories without calling into
question the entity's intent to hold other securities to maturity in the future.
The Company  adopted SFAS No. 133 January 1, 2001 recording an unrealized  loss,
net of tax, of $68,000.

NOTE 4.  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings per common share calculations for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 are presented based on the net earnings for the three and
six months  divided by the weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding,  or
3,118,743 and 3,017,232 shares (three months and six months ended June 30, 2001)
and 2,751,715  and 2,755,920  shares (three and six months ended June 30, 2000).
Diluted earnings per common share takes into account the effect of dilution from
the  assumed  exercise of all  outstanding  stock  options  and awards.  Diluted
earnings per common share is  calculated by dividing net earnings by the average
number  of  common  shares  outstanding  adjusted  for  the  incremental  shares
resulting  from the exercise of dilutive  stock  options  during the period,  or
3,208,085 and 2,944,799 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000
respectively, and 3,086,934 and 2,949,004 for the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000.

NOTE 5. DIVIDENDS DECLARED

On March 15, 2001 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a cash dividend
of $.20 per share payable April 2, 2001 for  stockholders of record on March 16,
2001.  On June 21, 2001 the Board of  Directors  of the Company  approved a cash
dividend of $.225 per share payable July 2, 2001 for  stockholders  of record on
June 22, 2001.

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

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2001 AND DECEMBER 31, 2000

On June 30,  2001 the  Company had total  assets of $540.0  million  compared to
$394.5  million at December 31, 2000.  This increase in assets of $145.5 million
or 36.9% is due to the First  Deposit  merger  discussed  under  note one above.
First  Deposit had total assets of $158.0  million on the merger date of May 23,
2001.

Cash and cash equivalents  increased $35.2 million, of this amount, $4.0 million
came from the First Deposit merger.

Securities  decreased  $10.3  million.  Sales of  securities  available for sale
totaled $14.1 million,  and calls and maturities totaled $9.3 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2001.  Securities available for sale acquired in the First
Deposit merger totaled $9.2 million,  and other  purchases  totaled $2.6 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2001. Other investments  increased $353,000
from the  acquisition  of $1.2 million in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock in
the First Deposit  merger and a redemption of $797,000 of FHLB stock by the FHLB
in March 2001.

Net loans  increased  $109.5  million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. Net
loans  received from the First Deposit  merger were $130.8  million.  A total of
$16.9 million of loans were sold in the six months ended June 30, 2001.

Premises and equipment  increased  $4.6 million in the six months ended June 30,
2001, as a result of the First Deposit merger. Two branches were acquired in the
First Deposit merger. One branch located at 8444 Campbellton Road, Douglasville,
Georgia  includes the main office of Douglas  Federal Bank,  another  commercial
building now leased to a mortgage  lending  company,  and a house converted into
offices.  These  three  buildings  are located on 1.8 acres of land with a total
appraised  fair  value of $1.6  million  for the land and three  buildings.  The
second branch is located at 1855 Thornton Road, Lithia Springs,  Georgia with an
appraised fair value of $900,000. Also acquired in the First Deposit merger were
four parcels of vacant land held by Douglas  Federal  Bank for future  branches.
These  four  parcels  of land  have an  appraised  fair  value of $2.0  million.
Furniture  fixtures  and  equipment  acquired  in the First  Deposit  merger was
recorded at $151,000.

Accrued  interest  receivable  increased  $271,000 at June 30, 2001  compared to
December 31, 2000 as a result of the higher outstanding loan balances because of
the First Deposit merger.

Intangible  assets  increased $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001
as a result of the First Deposit merger.  Total goodwill recorded from the First
Deposit merger was $3.1 million.

Real estate and  repossessions  increased  $1.8  million in the six months ended
June 30, 2001 as a result of the First Deposit merger. Douglas Federal Bank held
a fully  owned  subsidary  (Pinehurst  Corporation)  which was  involved in real
estate development and sales. At the merger the assets of Pinehurst  Corporation
were merged into the Bank at an appraised fair value of $1.8 million.

Other assets increased  $860,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2001 primarily
because of a $1.0 million  receivable  due from First  Deposit's  Employee Stock
Ownership  Plan (ESOP) for shares that had not been  allocated to  participant's
accounts on the merger date.  This increase was  partially  offset by a $211,000
decrease in value of an interest rate cap owned by the bank.

Total deposit  liabilities  increased  $110.5  million from December 31, 2000 to
June 30, 2001. The First Deposit merger transferred in $103.6 million of deposit
liabilities.  Demand deposits increased $27.1 million,  the First Deposit merger
transferred in $33.9 million.  Savings  deposits  increased  $15.6 million.  The
First  Deposit  merger  transferred  in $3.3 million of savings  deposits.  Time
deposits  less than and equal to $100,000  increased  $58.7  million,  the First
Deposit  merger  transferred  in $49.9  million.  Time  deposits  over  $100,000
increased $9.1 million,  the First Deposit  merger  transferred in $15.7 million
and a brokered  deposit of the Bank matured on March 23, 2001 reducing  deposits
greater than $100,000 by $8.7 million.

Note payable and other borrowings  increased $20.5 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2001.  The First Deposit  merger  transferred in $22.6 million of
notes  payable  from FHLB  Atlanta,  and the Bank paid off $4.1  million of this
amount in June 2001.  The Company  borrowed $2.0 million from another  financial
institution.  These  proceeds  were used to help fund the  purchase  of treasury
stock by the Company.

Federal funds  purchased by the Bank decreased  $889,000 in the six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Accrued interest and other liabilities  increased $3.0 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2001.  Accrued interest  increased $221,000 because of the higher
deposit  balances and notes payable caused by the First Deposit  merger.  A $1.3
million  liability  was recorded  relating to  employment  contract  liabilities
created  by the  First  Deposit  merger.  Escrow  liability  balances  increased
$664,000  because  of the higher  loan  balances,  created by the First  Deposit
merger,  and normal  increases  during the year before  property taxes are paid.
Dividends  payable  increased  $204,000 because of the higher dividend per share
declared in the  quarter  ended June 30,  2001  compared  to the  quarter  ended
December 31, 2000 ($.225 vs $.20), and the increased shares outstanding  because
of the First Deposit merger (723,675 shares were issued).

Total stockholder's  equity increased $12.4 million in the six months ended June
30, 2001. Common stock increased $2,410 from the issue of 241,019 shares (in the
First  Deposit  merger) at $.01 par value and  issued at a market  value (at the
First Deposit merger date) of $20.25 per share with the  difference  between par
and market value  increasing  paid in capital by $4.9  million.  Treasury  stock
decreased $6.7 million. Purchases of treasury stock in the six months ended June
30,  2001  totaled  $3.5  million,  and 482,656  shares of  treasury  stock were
reissued with an acquired cost of $10.1 million in the First Deposit merger. The
difference  between the market  value  ($20.25)  and the average  acquired  cost
($21.03)  of the  treasury  shares  reissued  was  charged  to paid  in  capital
($376,000).  Retained earnings  increased $417,000 from earnings of $1.8 million
less dividends of $1.4 million.  Accumulated other  comprehensive loss decreased
$806,000 as a result of the impact of a declining  interest rate  environment on
our securities portfolio.

COMPARISON  OF RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
AND 2000

GENERAL. Net earnings totaled $473,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001,
a decrease of $857,000 over the $1.3 million  earned in the same three months in
2000.  This  decrease is  primarily  the result of higher loan loss  provisions,
higher  salaries and employee  benefits and higher other  non-interest  expenses
resulting from the merger of First Deposit into the Company on May 23, 2001.

NET INTEREST  INCOME.  Net  interest  income for the three months ended June 30,
2001  decreased  $4,000 or 0.1% compared to the same three month period in 2000.
Total interest income  increased  $746,000 or 8.7%, while total interest expense
increased  $750,000 or 17.0%.  The  increase  in  interest  income was caused by
higher  average loan balances and higher  interest-bearing  deposits and federal
funds sold  during the three  months  ended June 30,  2001  compared to the same
three months in 2000.  The higher average loan balances were caused by the First
Deposit merger.

The average  balance of loans by type for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were as follows:

Interest  and fee  income on loans  increased  $830,000  or 11.2% in the  second
quarter of 2001 compared to the same quarter in 2000,  while the average balance
of loans increased $51.2 million or 16.4%. Interest income on federal funds sold
and interest-bearing deposits increased $294,000 for the three months ended June
30,  2001  compared  to the same  three  months of 2000  because  of the  higher
balances in federal  funds sold.  Interest  and  dividend  income on  investment
securities  decreased  $378,000  during the three  months  ended  June 30,  2001
compared  to the same  three  months  of 2000.  because  of  lower  balances  in
investment securities and lower yields.

The net interest rate spread  measures the difference  between the average yield
on earning  assets and the  average  rate paid on  interest  bearing  sources of
funds.  The net interest  rate spread for the  quarters  ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 was 3.65% and 4.40% respectively.

PROVISION  FOR LOAN LOSSES.  The  provision for loan losses was $836,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $239,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000. This increase was deemed  appropriate by management to adequately
reserve for increases in commercial loans, weakening economic conditions, and to
adequately reserve for loans acquired in the First Deposit merger. At the merger
date First  Deposit  had $1.2  million in total loan loss  reserves  or 0.92% of
total loans.  At June 30,  2001,  the loan loss reserve for the Company was $5.7
million or 1.35% of total loans compared to $3.6 million or 1.16% of total loans
at June 30, 2000.  Management  deemed the allowance for loan losses  adequate at
June 30, 2001.

NONPERFORMING  ASSETS AND PAST DUE LOANS.  Nonperforming  assets,  comprised  of
non-accrual  loans (generally loans on which payments are more than 90 days past
due) and other real estate owned totaled $5.7 million or 1.1% of total assets at
June 30, 2001, and $943,000 or 0.2% of total assets at June 30, 2000. One reason
for this increase is one loan for $2.4 million was placed on non-accrual  status
on June 22, 2001,  but has since been paid off by the customer on July 20, 2001.
Had this loan not been  included,  non-performing  assets  would  have been $3.3
million or 0.62% of total assets.

NONINTEREST INCOME. Total noninterest income increased $17,000, or 1.8%, for the
three months  ended June 30, 2001 versus the same three months in 2000.  Service
charges on deposits  increased  $146,000 or 27.2% for the second quarter of 2001
verses the same period in 2000.  The Company sold equity  securities  during the
second  quarter of 2001 for a net loss of  $45,000.  During  the same  period of
2000,  the Company  sold equity  securities  for a loss of $22,000.  Income from
insurance  commissions decreased $40,000 or 24.5% in the three months ended June
30,  2001  compared  to the same  three  months  in 2000.  Miscellaneous  income
decreased  $66,000 or 24.8% primarily because in the three months ended June 30,
2000 the Bank had $54,000 of gains on sales of real estate.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES. Total noninterest expenses increased $631,000 or 21.8% for
the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 as  compared to the same three  months in
2000.  This increase was  primarily  the result of higher  salaries and employee
benefits (which increased  $267,000)  resulting from annual wage increases and a
higher number of employees because of the First Deposit merger. At June 30, 2001
the Bank and subsidaries had 170 full time equivalent  employees compared to 141
at June 30, 2000. Other operating expense increased  $277,000 or 31.7% primarily
because of the First  Deposit  merger,  and a write off of $85,000  relating  to
assets  formerly used in the Walmart  branch in Hiram,  Georgia which was closed
when a newly constructed branch in Hiram was opened in April of 2001.

INCOME  TAXES.  Income tax  expense  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  2001 was
$285,000 or 37.6% of pretax  income and  $642,000 or 32.6% of pretax  income for
the same three month period in 2000. The difference  between these rates and the
statutory  rate is  primarily  the  result  of  interest  income  on tax  exempt
securities and the dividend  received  deduction on government  agency preferred
stocks. Prior to January 1, 2001 the Bank had state tax credit carry forwards to
offset the state  income tax.  The Bank is  expected to have a state  income tax
expense  in 2001,  which  contributed  to the higher  income tax rates  reported
above.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND
1999

GENERAL.  Net  earnings  totaled  $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2001,  compared  to $2.6 for the same six  months  of  2000.  This  decrease  is
primarily the result of higher provision for loan losses and higher non-interest
expenses.

NET INTEREST  INCOME.  Total interest income increased $1.3 million or 7.9%, and
total interest expense  increased $1.1 million or 13.3% for the six months ended
June 30, 2001  compared to the same six months in 2000.  The following is a rate
volume  analysis  for the six months  ended June 30,  2001 and 2000  showing the

PROVISION  FOR LOAN LOSSES.  The  provision for loan losses was $1.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $473,000 for the six months ended
June 30,  2000.  This  increase has been deemed  appropriate  by  management  to
reflect the higher risk  associated  with the change in loan  portfolio mix to a
higher  percentage  of  commercial  loans,  an  increase  in loan  volume of the
consumer  finance  subsidiary of the Bank,  and the  acquisition of loans in the
First Deposit merger.

OTHER INCOME.  Total noninterest income increased $94,000,  or 4.8%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 versus the same six months in 2000.  Service  charges
on deposits  increased  $208,000 or 19.9% primarily because of the First Deposit
merger.  Insurance commissions decreased $73,000 or 19.5%.  Miscellaneous income
decreased $41,000 or 7.4% because the Bank had $54,000 of gains on sales of real
estate in the six months ended June 30, 2000.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES.  Total noninterest expense increased $636,000 or 10.9% for
the six months  ended June 30,  2001 as compared to the same six months in 2000.
Salaries and  employee  benefits  and other  operating  expenses are the primary
reasons for the increase in non-interest  expense which were caused primarily by
the First Deposit merger,  normal annual salary increases and the closing of the
Hiram Walmart branch. These items were discussed in the comparison of results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 2001 above.

INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $1.0
million  or 35.6% of income  before  tax,  and $1.2  million  or 32.4% of income
before tax for the same six month period in 2000. The  difference  between these
rates and the  statutory  rate is the  result of  interest  income on tax exempt
securities  and  the  dividend  received   deduction  on  some  preferred  stock
dividends.  The fact that the Bank had  state tax  credit  carry  forwards  also
contributes  to a lower  income  tax rate as a  percent  of  pretax  income.  As
discussed in the results of operations  for the three months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 these state tax credit carry  forwards will all be used in the tax year
ending December 31, 2001.

RECENT ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS.  In 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards
Board  issued  Statement  of Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 133,
"Accounting  for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities."  SFAS No. 133
establishes  accounting and reporting  standards for hedging derivatives and for
derivative  instruments  including  derivative  instruments  embedded  in  other
contracts.  It requires the fair value  recognition  of derivatives as assets or
liabilities in the financial  statements.  The accounting for the changes in the
fair  value  of a  derivative  depends  on the  intended  use of the  derivative
instrument  at  inception.  Changes in fair value for  instruments  used as fair
value hedges are recorded in earnings of the period simultaneous with accounting
for the fair value  change of the item being  hedged.  Changes in fair value for
cash flow hedges are  recorded in  comprehensive  income  rather than  earnings.
Changes in fair value for  derivative  instruments  that are not  intended  as a
hedge are  recorded in  earnings  of the period of the  change.  SFAS No. 133 is
effective  for all fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 2000.  At the date of
initial  application,  an entity may transfer any held to maturity security into
the available for sale or trading  categories  without calling into question the
entity's intent to hold other securities to maturity in the future.  The Company
adopted SFAS No. 133 January 1, 2001  recording an unrealized  loss, net of tax,
of $68,000.

The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through loan
principal  repayments,  maturities  of  investment  securities  and, to a lesser
extent,  sales  of  securities.   Installment  loan  payments  are  becoming  an
increasingly  important  source of liquidity  for the Company as this  portfolio
continues to grow. Other  short-term  investments such as federal funds sold and
maturing  interest-bearing  deposits with other banks are additional  sources of
liquidity.

The liability  portion of the balance sheet provides  liquidity  through various
customers'  interest-bearing  and  noninterest-bearing  deposit accounts.  These
sources of liquidity are  short-term in nature and are used as necessary to fund
asset growth and meet short-term liquidity needs.  Liquidity is also provided by
advances  from the FHLB of Atlanta and federal funds  accommodations  from other
lending institutions.

As of  June  30,  2001  the  Bank's  regulatory  capital  was in  excess  of all
