ITEM 1. -- DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

The Holding Company is a Delaware corporation organized for the purpose of purchasing all of the capital stock of First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cullman (the "Association") to be issued in connection with the
Conversion.  Before the Conversion, the Holding Company did not engage in any material operations.  The Holding Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company.  The principal assets consist of the capital stock of the Association and the
investments made with the net proceeds retained from the sale of Common Shares in connection with the Conversion.  The office of the Holding Company is located at 325 2nd Street, S.E., Cullman, Alabama, and its telephone number is (256) 734-4863.

The Association is a federal stock savings and loan association which was organized in 1905.  As a federal savings and loan association, the Association is subject to supervision and regulation by the OTS.  The Association is a member of the Federal
Home Loan Bank (the "FHLB") of Atlanta, and the deposit accounts of the Association are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC in the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF").  The Association conducts business from its offices in Cullman
County, Alabama, and its executive office is located at 325 2nd Street, S.E., Cullman, Alabama.  At September 30, 2000, the Association had $64.2 million of total assets, $55.5 million of total liabilities, including $55.2 million of deposits, and
$8.7 million of equity.

The Association is principally engaged in the business of originating mortgage loans secured by first mortgages on one-to-four family residential real estate located in Cullman County, Alabama, the Association's primary market area.  Such loans
account for $30.5 million and $26.8 million at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The Association also originates loans for the construction of residential real estate and construction and permanent mortgage loans secured by multifamily real
estate (over four units) and nonresidential real estate in its primary market area.  Such loans account for $13.6 million and $13.1 million of total loans, respectively.  In addition to real estate lending, the Association originates a limited number of
commercial loans and secured and unsecured consumer loans.  The stated loans account for $6.2 million and $6.5 million of total loans, respectively.  For liquidity and interest rate risk management purposes, the Association invests in interest-bearing
deposits in other financial institutions, U.S. Government and agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities, and other investments permitted by applicable law.  As of September 30, 2000, the carrying value of investments that management has the
intent and ability to hold until maturity was $202,000 and the carrying value of investments that were available for sale was $10.5 million.  In addition, as of that same date, the Association's aggregate cash and interest-bearing deposits in other banks
totaled $2.6 million.  Funds for lending and other investment activities are obtained primarily from savings deposits, which are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC, and loan principal repayments.

Historically, the Association has operated as a traditional savings and loan association, emphasizing the origination of loans secured by single-family residences.  The Association has recently focused on increasing consumer and commercial lending.

Interest on loans and investments is the Association's primary source of income.  The Association's principal expense is interest paid on deposit accounts.  Operating results are dependent to a significant degree on the net interest income of the
Association, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans, mortgage-backed securities and other investments, and interest paid on deposits and borrowings.  Like most thrift institutions, the Association's interest income and interest
expense are significantly affected by general economic conditions and by the policies of various regulatory authorities.

Market Area

The Association conducts business from its office in Cullman, Alabama.  The Association's primary market area for lending and deposit activity is Cullman County, Alabama.

---

Cullman County's economy is principally agricultural, light industry, and manufacturing.  Cullman County is among the largest poultry producing counties in the United States.  For the period 1995 to 2000, the population of Cullman County is projected
to grow by 5.2% and the City of Cullman's population is projected to grow by 7.73%.  The projected population growth of 5.2% for the county is projected to be above that of Alabama at 3.47% and level with the United States at 5.28%.  The projected
population growth for the City at 7.73% exceeds the projections for the United States, Alabama, and Cullman County.

Income levels in Cullman County are below averages for the State of Alabama and the United States according to demographic statistics.  For 1995, average per capita income for Cullman County was 12% below and 30% below, respectively, average per
capita income for Alabama and the United States, respectively.  For 2001, average per capita income for Cullman County is projected to be
12% and 31%  below, respectively, average per capita income for Alabama and the United States, respectively.

Cullman County has no single, dominant employer.  The largest employer in the county is the Wal-Mart Distribution Center with approximately 1,500 employees.

The Association is one of two thrift institutions based in Cullman County and had approximately 40 % share of the County's thrift deposits and approximately 8% share of all deposits in the County, as of September 30, 2000.

Lending Activities

General.

Savings institutions generally are subject to the lending limits applicable to national banks.  With certain limited exceptions, the maximum amount that a savings institution or a national bank may lend to any borrower (including certain related
entities of the borrower) at one time may not exceed 15% of the unimpaired capital and surplus of the institution, plus an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus for loans fully secured by readily marketable collateral.  Savings institutions are
additionally authorized to make loans to one borrower, for any purpose, in an amount not to exceed $500,000 or, by order of the Director of OTS, in an amount not to exceed the lesser of $30,000,000 or 30% of unimpaired capital and surplus to develop
residential housing, provided:  (i) the purchase price of each single-family dwelling in the development does not exceed $500,000; (ii) the savings institution is in compliance with its fully phased-in capital requirements; (iii) the loans comply with
applicable loan-to-value requirements; and (iv) the aggregate amount of loans made under this authority does not exceed 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus.

At September 30, 2000, the Association's loans-to-one borrower limit was $1.43 million and its five largest loans or groups of loans-to-one borrower, including related entities, were $1,772,919, $1,280,333, $1,137,213, $719,826 and $604,955.
Each of these loans is secured by real estate, a substantial portion of which is rental property.  All of these loans or groups of loans were performing in accordance with their terms at September 30, 2000.

Scheduled contractual amortization of loans does not reflect the actual term of the Association's loan portfolio.  The average life of loans is substantially less than their contractual terms because of prepayments and due-on-sale clauses, which give
the Association the right to declare a conventional loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, that the borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage.

Loan Solicitation and Processing.  Loan originations are developed from a number of sources, including continuing business with depositors, other borrowers and real estate developers, solicitations by the Association's lending staff and walk-in
customers.

Loan applications for permanent real estate loans are taken by loan personnel at the Association's office.  The Association typically obtains a credit report, verification of employment, and other documentation concerning the creditworthiness of the
borrower.  An appraisal of the fair market value of the real estate which will be given as security for the loan is prepared by an appraiser approved by the Board of Directors.  Upon the completion of the appraisal and the receipt of information on the
credit history of the borrower, the application for a loan is submitted for review in accordance with the Association's

---



If a mortgage loan application is approved, the Association typically obtains an attorney's opinion of title.  The Association obtains title insurance on only approximately 5% of its loans secured by real estate.  Borrowers are required to carry
satisfactory fire and casualty insurance and flood insurance, if applicable, and to name the Association as an insured mortgagee.

The procedure for approval of construction loans is the same as for permanent real estate loans, except that an appraiser evaluates the building plans, construction specifications, and estimates of construction costs.  The Association also evaluates
the feasibility of the proposed construction project and the experience and record of the builder.  Once approved, the construction loan is disbursed in portions based upon periodic inspections of construction progress.

Consumer loans are underwritten on the basis of the borrower's credit history and an analysis of the borrower's income and expenses, ability to repay the loan, and the value of the collateral, if any.

Loan Originations.  The Association currently originates a variety of mortgage loans, including adjustable and fixed rate loans.  The Association is an approved seller/servicer for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and as such,
originates loans for the various programs of FHLMC.  Further, the Association originates certain first and second mortgage loans secured by single family dwellings which are nonconforming.

At September 30, 2000, the Association owns loan participation interests in 10 loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $3.5 million.  These loans consist of both adjustable and fixed rate loans.  The Association is the lead
lender on one loan of the 10, which has an outstanding balance of $248,991 at September 30, 2000.  The remaining 9 loans are serviced by other lending institutions.  All participation loans are performing and secured by first mortgages.  The
participation loans are secured by various types of properties, including multifamily residences, shopping centers, office buildings, and a country club, some of which are outside of the Association's primary market area.  The Association does not
currently intend to originate or purchase additional loan participations outside their market area.

(1)	Other items consist of deferred loan fees, allowance for loan losses and the undisbursed portion of construction loans.

Loans Secured by One- to Four-Family Residences.  The principal lending activity of the Association is the origination of conventional loans secured by first mortgages on one- to four-family residences, primarily single-family residences
located within the Association's primary market area.  At September 30, 2000, the Association's one- to four-family residential loans totaled approximately $30.5 million, or 61.9% of total loans.

OTS regulations limit the amount which the Association may lend in relationship to the appraised value at the time of loan origination of the real estate and improvements which will secure the loan (the "LTV").  In accordance with such regulations and
laws, and as a matter of policy established by the Board of Directors of the Association, the Association makes loans secured by one- to four-family residences for not more than a 85% LTV.

Adjustable rate mortgages ("ARMs") are currently offered by the Association for terms of up to 30 years.  On ARMs currently offered by the Association, the interest rate adjustment periods are one year and rates are adjusted in accordance with the
weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year.  The new interest rate at each change date is determined by adding a margin of 2.75% to the prevailing index.  On ARMs currently offered by the
Association, the maximum allowable adjustment at each adjustment date is 2.0% and the maximum allowable adjustment over the term of the loan is 6.0%.

Although ARMs decrease the Association's interest rate risk, such loans involve other risks.  As interest rates rise, for example, the payment by the borrower increases to the extent permitted by the terms of the loan.  Such increases in the payment
may increase the potential for default.  Moreover, the marketability of the underlying property may be adversely affected by a general increase in interest rates.  The Association believes that such risks have not had a material adverse effect on the
Association to date.

The Association currently offers fixed rate loans for terms of 15, 20, and 30 years.  The fixed-rate loans are competitively priced based on market conditions and the Association's cost of funds.

Loans Secured by Multifamily Residences.  In addition to loans on one- to four-family properties, the Association originates loans secured by multifamily properties which contain more than four units.  At September 30, 2000, loans secured
by multifamily residences totaled approximately $2.9 million, or 5.8% of total loans.  At September 30, 2000, the largest single loan secured by a multifamily residence was $1.8 million and was performing in accordance with its terms.
Multifamily loans are offered with adjustable or fixed rates for terms of up to 20 years and have LTVs up to 80%.

Multifamily lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk than one- to four-family residential lending because the borrower typically depends upon income generated by the project to cover operating expenses and debt service.  The
profitability of a project can be affected by economic conditions, government policies, and other factors beyond the control of the borrower.  The Association attempts to reduce the risk associated with multifamily lending by evaluating the
creditworthiness of the borrower and the projected income from the project and by obtaining personal guarantees on loans made to corporations and partnerships.

Loans Secured by Nonresidential Real Estate.  The Association also originates loans for the purchase of nonresidential real estate.  At September 30, 2000, approximately $9.6 million, or 19.5%, of the Association's total loans were
secured by mortgages on nonresidential real estate.  At such date, the largest single loan secured by nonresidential real estate was $1.3 million and was performing in accordance with its terms.  The Association's nonresidential real estate loans have
adjustable rates or fixed rates, terms of up to 30 years, and LTVs of up to 80%.  The Association also makes loans for the construction of nonresidential real estate.

---

Although loans secured by nonresidential real estate have higher interest rates than one- to four-family residential real estate loans, nonresidential real estate lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk than residential
lending due to the relatively larger loan amounts and the effects of general economic conditions on the successful operation of income-producing properties.  The Association has endeavored to reduce such risk by evaluating the credit history and past
performance of the borrower, the location of the real estate, the financial condition of the borrower, the quality and characteristics of the income stream generated by the property, and appraisals supporting the property's valuation.

Construction Loans.  The Association makes loans for the construction of single-family houses, multifamily properties, and nonresidential real estate projects.  Of the loans made by the Association for construction of single-family residences,
all are made to owner-occupants or to professional builders.

Construction loans are offered with adjustable or fixed rates for terms of up to one year.  At September 30, 2000, the Association's loan portfolio included $1.1 million in construction loans, or 2.2% of total loans.  The majority of construction
loans were for construction of residential properties.

Construction loans, particularly loans involving nonresidential real estate, generally involve greater underwriting and default risks than do loans secured by mortgages on existing properties.  Loan funds are advanced upon the security of the project
under construction, which is more difficult to value before the completion of construction.  Moreover, because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, it is relatively difficult to evaluate accurately the LTV and the total loan
funds required to complete a project.  In the event a default on a construction loan occurs and foreclosure follows, the Association would have to take control of the project and attempt either to arrange for completion of construction or dispose of the
unfinished project.

All of the Association's loans are secured by property in the Association's primary market area.

Commercial Loans.  The Association makes commercial loans to businesses in its primary market area.  Such loans are typically secured by a security interest in equipment, nonresidential real estate, or other assets of the borrower.  At
September 30, 2000, the Association's commercial loan portfolio totaled $2.9 million, or 5.9% of total loans.

Consumer Loans.  The Association makes various types of consumer loans, including loans made to depositors on the security of their deposit accounts, automobile loans, home improvement loans, and other secured loans and unsecured personal
loans.  Consumer loans are made at variable or fixed rates of interest and for varying terms based on the type of loan.  At September 30, 2000, the Association had approximately $3.3 million, or 6.7% of total loans, invested in consumer loans.

Consumer loans, particularly consumer loans which are unsecured or are secured by depreciating assets such as automobiles, may entail greater risk than residential real estate loans.  Repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not
provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance.  The risk of default on consumer loans increases during periods of recession, high unemployment, and other adverse economic conditions.

Loan Origination and Other Fees.  The Association realizes loan origination fees and other fee income from its lending activities and also realizes income from late payment of charges, application fees, and fees for other miscellaneous services.

Loan origination fees and other fees are a volatile source of income, varying with the volume of lending, loan repayments, and general economic conditions.  All nonrefundable loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred
and recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases("SFAS No. 91") as an adjustment to yield over the life of the related loan.  At September 30, 2000, the
Association had $140,000 of net loan fees which had been deferred and are being recognized as income over the estimated maturities of the related loans.

---

Non-performing Assets.  Non-performing assets include nonaccruing loans, real estate acquired by foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu thereof, in-substance foreclosures, and repossessed assets.  The Association ceases to accrue interest on real
estate loans if the collateral value is not adequate, in the opinion of management, to cover the outstanding principal and interest.  The Association ceases the accrual of interest on all loans which are 90 days or more delinquent.

Real estate acquired by the Association as a result of foreclosure proceedings is classified as real estate owned ("REO") until it is sold.  When property is so acquired, such property is recorded by the Association at the fair value of the real
estate, less estimated selling expenses, at the date of acquisition and any write-down resulting therefrom is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  All costs incurred in maintaining REO property are expenses from the date the property is acquired.
Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized to the extent of fair value

As of September 30, 2000, the Association's total non-performing loans amounted to $111,000, or .2% of total net loans, compared to $140,000, or .3% of total net loans at September 30, 1999.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the accrual and nonaccrual status of the  Association's loans and other non-performing assets at the dates indicated:

Classified Assets.  The Association classifies its own assets on a quarterly basis in accordance with federal regulations and Association policy.  Problem assets are classified as "substandard," "doubtful," or "loss."  "Substandard" assets have
one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Association will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  "Doubtful" assets have the same weaknesses as "substandard" assets, with the additional
characteristics that (i) the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, questionable and (ii) there is a high possibility of loss.  An asset classified "loss" is considered
uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance as an asset of the Association is not warranted.

The aggregate amounts of the Association's classified loans at the dates indicated were as follows:

The Association establishes general allowances for loan losses for any loan classified as substandard or doubtful.  If an asset, or portion thereof, is classified as a loss, the Association establishes specific allowances for
losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss.  Generally, the Association charges off the portion of any real estate loan deemed to be uncollectible.

The Association analyzes each classified asset on a quarterly basis to determine whether changes in the classifications are appropriate under the circumstances.  Such analysis focuses on a variety of factors, including the amount of any delinquency
and the reasons for the delinquency, if any, the use of the real estate securing the loan, the status of the borrower, and the appraised value of the real estate.  As such factors change, the classification of the asset will change accordingly.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  Senior management, with oversight by the Board of Directors, reviews on a quarterly basis the allowance for loan losses as it relates to a number of relevant factors, including, but not limited to, trends in the
level of delinquent and nonperforming assets and classified loans, current and anticipated economic conditions in the primary lending area, past loss experience, and losses arising from specific problem assets.  To a lesser extent, management also
considers loan concentrations to single borrowers and changes in the composition of the loan portfolio.  While management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could
result in adjustments and net income could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determination.  The amounts in the provisions for loan losses shown in the table below for 1998
through 2000 were determined based upon past loan experience, a review of individual specific problem loans, if any, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, and the prevailing economic conditions.

Securities

The Association accounts for its investments in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.  Securities classified as held-to-maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the constant effective yield method.  The Association has the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to
maturity.  Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value and include all debt and equity securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading.  Trading securities are those held principally for the purpose of selling in the near future and
are carried at fair value.  The Association does not currently have any trading securities.

Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings.  Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported, net of any income tax effect, as a separate component
of retained earnings.  Realized gains and losses for securities classified as either available-for-sale or held-to-maturity are reported in earnings based on the adjusted cost of the specific security sold.

The Company's securities portfolio includes mortgage-backed securities which are insured or guaranteed by the FHLMC, GNMA, or the FNMA, all of which are backed by FHLMC, GNMA, and FNMA securities.  Mortgage-backed securities increase the quality of
the Company's assets by virtue of the guarantees that back them, are more liquid than individual mortgage loans, and may be used to collateralize borrowings or other obligations of the Company.  Investments in mortgage-backed securities as well as
investments in other investment securities are managed by the Company's Investment Committee in accordance with the Company's Portfolio and Investment Policy.

Cash and Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks

The Company also had cash on hand and cash due from and on deposit with other banks amounting to $2.6 million and $4.1 million at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Deposits and Borrowings

General.

Deposits.  The Company's deposits are attracted principally from within the Company's primary market area through the offering of a wide selection of deposit instruments, including NOW accounts, money market accounts, regular passbook savings
accounts, and term certificate accounts.  Included among these deposit products are individual retirement account certificates of approximately $3.7 million at September 30, 2000.  Deposit account terms vary, with the principal differences being the
minimum balance required, the time periods the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate.  As of September 30, 2000, the certificates of deposit with principal amounts of $100,000 or more totaled approximately $11.5 million.

Interest rates paid, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established by the Association on a periodic basis.  Determination of rates and terms are predicated on funds acquisition and liquidity requirements, rates paid by
competitors, growth goals and federal regulations.

Competition

The Association competes for deposits with other savings and loan associations, savings banks, commercial banks, and credit unions and with issuers of commercial paper and other securities, including shares in money
market mutual funds.  The primary factors in competition for deposits are customer service and convenience of office location.  In making loans, the Association competes with other savings banks, savings and loan associations, commercial banks, mortgage
brokers, consumer finance companies, credit unions, leasing companies, and other lenders.  The Association competes for loan originations primarily through the interest rates and loan fees it charges and through the efficiency and quality of services it
provides to borrowers.  Competition is intense and is affected by, among other things, the general availability of lendable funds, general and local economic conditions, current interest rate levels, and other factors which are not readily predictable.
The Association does not offer all of the products and services offered by some of its competitors, particularly commercial banks.  The Association monitors the product offerings of its competitors and adds new products when it can do so competitively and
cost effectively.

REGULATION

Financial Modernization Legislation

On November 12, 1999, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the "GLB Act") was enacted into law.  The GLB Act makes sweeping changes in the authorized activities of banks and their holding companies.  In
particular, the GLB Act repealed the Glass-Steagall Act, which had generally prevented banks from affiliating with securities firms, and also permitted bank holding companies for the first time to affiliate with insurance companies.  A new "financial
holding company,'" which owns only well capitalized and well-managed banks, will be permitted to engage in a variety of financial activities, including insurance and securities underwriting and insurance agency activities.  The financial holding company
provisions of the GLB Act are not expected to have a material effect on the Company or the Association.

The GLB Act also places substantial restrictions on the activities of companies that apply to become savings and loan holding companies after May 4, 1999.  However, the GLB Act permits unitary savings and loan holding companies in existence on
May 4, 1999, including the Company, to continue to engage in all activities that they were permitted to engage in prior to the enactment of the Act.  Under such authority, the Company's business powers are essentially unlimited, provided that the
Bank remains a qualified thrift lender.  However, the GLB Act further provides that a unitary thrift holding company in existence on May 4, 1999, will lose its exempt status if it or its subsidiary thrift is sold to any unaffiliated company other
than another grandfathered unitary thrift holding company.  The GLB Act is not expected to have a material effect on the activities in which the Company and the Association currently engage, except to the extent that competition with banks and bank
holding companies may increase as they engage in activities not permitted prior to enactment of the GLB Act.

In addition, the GLB Act adopts a number of consumer protections, including provisions intended to protect privacy of bank customers' financial information and new requirements for the disclosure of ATM fees imposed by banks on customers of other
banks.  Most of the GLB Act's provisions have delayed effective dates and require the adoption of implementing regulations to implement the statutory provisions.  Accordingly, at this time the Association is unable to predict the eventual impact of the
Act on its operations.

Activities Restrictions.  There are generally no restrictions on the activities of a savings and loan holding company which holds only one subsidiary savings institution.  However, if the Director of the OTS determines that there is reasonable
cause to believe that the continuation by a savings and loan holding company of an activity constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of its subsidiary savings institution, the Director may impose such restrictions as
deemed necessary to address such risk, including limiting (i) payment of dividends by the savings institution; (ii) transactions between the savings institution and its affiliates; and (iii) any activities of the savings institution that might create a
serious risk that the liabilities of the holding company and its affiliates may be imposed on the savings institution.  Notwithstanding the above rules as to permissible business activities of unitary savings and loan holding companies, if the savings
institution subsidiary of such a holding company fails to meet a QTL test, then such unitary holding company also shall become subject to the activities restrictions applicable to multiple savings and loan holding companies and, unless the savings
institution requalifies as a QTL within one year thereafter, shall register as, and become subject to the restrictions applicable to, a bank holding company.

If the Company were to acquire control of another savings institution, other than through merger or other business combination with the Association, the Company would thereupon become a multiple savings and loan holding company.  Except where such
acquisition is pursuant to the authority to approve emergency thrift acquisitions and where each subsidiary savings institution meets the QTL test, as set forth below, the activities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries (other than the Association
or other subsidiary savings institutions) would thereafter be subject to further restrictions.  Among other things, no multiple savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof which is not a savings institution shall commence or continue for a
limited period of time after becoming a multiple savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof which is not a savings institution shall commence or continue for a limited period of time after becoming a multiple savings and loan holding company
or subsidiary thereof any business activity, upon prior notice to, and no objection by the OTS, other than:  (i) furnishing or performing management services for a subsidiary savings institution; (ii) conducting an insurance agency or escrow business;
(iii) holding, managing, or liquidating assets owned by or acquired from a subsidiary savings institution; (iv) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a subsidiary savings institution; (v) acting as trustee under deeds of trust; (vi) those
activities authorized by regulation as of March 5, 1987 to be engaged in by multiple savings and loan holding companies; or (vii) unless the Director of the OTS by regulation prohibits or limits such activities for savings and loan holding companies,
those activities authorized by the Federal Reserve Board as permissible for bank holding companies.  Those activities described in (vii) above also must be approved by the Director of the OTS prior to being engaged in by a multiple savings and loan
holding company.

Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.  Transactions between savings institutions and any affiliate are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act.  An affiliate of a savings institution is any company or entity which
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the savings institution.  In a holding company context, the parent holding company of a savings institution (such as the Company) and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding
company are affiliates of the savings institution.  Generally, Sections 23A and 23B (i) limit the extent to which the savings institution or its subsidiaries may engage in "covered transactions: with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such
institution's capital stock and surplus, and contain an aggregate limit on all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and surplus and (ii) require that all such transactions be on terms substantially the
same, or at least as favorable, to the institution or subsidiary as those provided to a non-affiliate.  The term "covered transaction" includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee and similar other types of transactions.  In
addition to the restrictions imposed by Sections 23A and 23B, no savings institution may (i) loan or otherwise extend credit to an affiliate, except for any affiliate which engages only in activities which are permissible for bank holding companies, or
(ii) purchase or invest in any stocks, bonds, debentures, notes or similar obligations of any affiliate, except for affiliates which are subsidiaries of the savings institution.

In addition, Sections 22(h) and (g) of the Federal Reserve Act place restrictions on loans to execute officers, directors and principal stockholders.  Under Section 22(h), loans to a director, an executive officer and to a greater than 10%
stockholder of a savings institution, and certain affiliated interests of either, may not exceed, together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated interests, the institution's loan to one borrower limit (generally equal to 15% of
the institution's unimpaired capital and surplus).  Section 22(h) also requires that loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders be make on terms substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons and also
requires prior board approval for certain loans.  In addition, the aggregate amount of extensions of credit by a savings institution to all insiders cannot exceed the institution's unimpaired capital and surplus.  Furthermore, Section 22(g) places
additional restrictions on loans to executive officers.  At September 30, 2000, the Association was in compliance with the above restrictions.

---



Restrictions on Acquisitions.  Except under limited circumstances, savings and loan holding companies are prohibited from acquiring, without prior approval of the Director of the OTS, (i) control of any other savings institution or savings and
loan holding company or substantially all the assets thereof or (ii) more than 5% of the voting shares of a savings institution or holding company thereof which is not a subsidiary.  Except with the prior approval of the Director of the OTS, no director
or officer of a savings and loan holding company or person owning or controlling by proxy or otherwise more than 25% of such company's stock, may acquire control of any savings institution, other than a subsidiary savings institution, or of any other
savings and loan holding company.

The Director of the OTS may only approved acquisitions resulting in the formation of a multiple savings and loan holding company which controls savings institutions in more than one state if (i) the multiple savings and loan holding company involved
controls a savings institution which operated a home or branch office located in the state of the institution to be acquired as of March 5, 1987; (ii) the acquirer is authorized to acquire control of the savings institution pursuant to the emergency
acquisition provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA"); or (iii) the statutes of the state in which the institution to be acquired is located specifically permit institutions to be acquired by the state-chartered institutions or savings and
loan holding companies located in the state where the acquiring entity is located (or by a holding company that controls such state-chartered savings institutions).

The FIRREA amended provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 to specifically authorize the Federal Reserve Board to approve an application by a bank holding company to acquire control of a savings institution.  FIRREA also authorized a bank
holding company that controls a savings institution to merge or consolidate the assets and liabilities of any subsidiary bank which is a member of the BIF with the approval of the appropriate federal banking agency and the Federal Reserve Board.  As a
result of these provisions, there have been a number of acquisitions of savings institutions by bank holding companies in recent years.

Federal Securities Laws.  The Company is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Securities Exchange Act"), and under OTS regulations.  Generally, the Common
Stock may not be deregistered for at least three years after the Conversion.  The Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act.

The Association

General.

---



The OTS' enforcement authority over all savings institutions was substantially enhanced by FIRREA.  This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil money penalties, to issue cease and desist or removal orders and
to initiate injunctive actions.  In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices.  Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading
or untimely reports filed with the OTS.  FIRREA significantly increased the amount of the ground for civil money penalties.

On December 19, 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") was enacted into law.  The FDICIA provides for, among other things, the recaptilization of the BIF; the authorization of the FDIC to make emergency
special assessments under certain circumstances against BIF members and members of the SAIF; the establishment of risk-based deposit insurance premiums; and improved examinations and reporting requirements.  The FDICIA also provides for enhanced federal
supervision of depository institutions based on, among other things, an institution's capital level.

Deposit Insurance

The FDIC is an independent federal agency that insures the deposits, up to prescribed statutory limits, of banks and thrifts and safeguards the safety and soundness of the banking and thrift industries.

The Association is a member of the SAIF and its deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC up to the prescribed limits.  The FDIC has examination authority over all insured depository institutions, including the Association, and has authority to
initiate enforcement actions against federally insured savings associations if the FDIC does not believe the OTS has taken appropriate action to safeguard safety and soundness and the deposit insurance fund.

The FDIC is authorized to establish separate annual assessment rates for deposit insurance for members.  The FDIC may increase assessment rates if necessary to restore the fund's ratio of reserves to insured deposits to the target level within a
reasonable time and may decrease such rates if such target level has been met.  The FDIC has established a risk-based assessment system.  Under this system, assessments vary depending on the risk the institution poses to its deposit insurance fund.  Such
risk level is determined based on the institution's capital level and the FDIC's level of supervisory concern about the institution.

Regulatory Capital Requirements.  Federal insured savings institutions are required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital.  Pursuant to FIRREA, the OTS has established capital standards applicable to all savings institutions.  These
standards generally must be as stringent as the comparable capital requirements imposed on national banks.  The OTS also is authorized to impose capital requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a case-by-case basis.

Current OTS capital standards require savings institutions to satisfy three different capital requirements.  Under these standards, savings institutions must maintain "tangible" capital equal to at least 1.5% of adjusted total assets, "core" capital
equal to at least 3% of adjusted total assets and "total" capital (a combination of core and "supplementary" capital) equal to at least 8.0% of "risk-weighted" assets.  For purposes of the regulation, core capital generally consists of common equity
(including retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, minority interests in the equity accounts of fully consolidated subsidiaries, certain nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits and "qualifying supervisory
goodwill."  Tangible capital is given the same definition as core capital but does not include qualifying supervisory goodwill and is reduced by the amount of all the savings institution's intangible assets, with only a limited exception for purchased
mortgage servicing rights.  The Association had no goodwill or other intangible assets at September 30, 2000.  Both core and tangible capital are further reduced by an amount equal to a savings institution's debt and equity investments in
subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible to national banks (other than subsidiaries engaged in activities undertaken as agent for customers or in mortgage banking activities and subsidiary depository institutions or their holding companies).
These adjustments do not affect the Association's regulatory capital.

---



Supplementary capital generally consists of hybrid capital instruments; perpetual preferred stock which is not eligible to be included as core capital; subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock; and general allowances for loan losses up
to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

In determining compliance with the risk-based capital requirement, a savings institution is allowed to include both core capital and supplementary capital in its total capital, provided that the amount of supplementary capital included does not exceed
the savings institution's core capital.  In determining the required amount of risk-based capital, total assets, including certain off-balance sheet items, are multiplied by a risk weight based on the risks inherent in the type of assets.  The risk weight
assigned by the OTS for principal categories of assets are (i) 0% for cash and securities issued by the U. S. Government or unconditionally backed by the full faith and credit of the U. S. Government; (ii) 20% for securities (other than equity securities)
issued by U. S. Government-sponsored agencies and mortgage-backed securities issued by, or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the FNMA or the FHLMC, except for those classes with residual characteristics or stripped mortgage-related
securities; (iii) 50% for prudently underwritten permanent one-to-four family first lien mortgage loans not more than 90 days delinquent and having a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80% at origination unless insured to such ratio by an insurer
approved by the FNMA or the FHLMC, qualifying residential bridge loans made directly for the construction of one-to-four family residences and qualifying multi-family residential loans; and (iv) 100% for all other loans and investments, including consumer
loans, commercial loans, and single-family residential real estate loans more than 90 days delinquent, and for repossessed assets.

At September 30, 2000, the Association exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements.  The following table sets forth the Association's compliance with applicable regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2000 and 1999:

In August 1993, the OTS adopted a final rule incorporating an interest-rate risk component into the risk-based capital regulation.  Under the rule, an institution with a greater than "normal" level of interest rate risk
is subject to a deduction of its interest rate risk component from total capital for purposes of calculating its risk-based capital. As a result, such an institution is required to maintain additional capital in order to comply with the risk-based capital
requirement.  An institution with a greater than "normal" interest rate risk is defined as an institution that would suffer a loss of net portfolio value exceeding 2.0% of the estimated economic value of its assets in the event of a 200 basis point
increase or decrease (with certain minor exceptions) in interest rates.  The interest rate risk component is calculated, on a quarterly basis, as one-half of the difference between an institution's measured interest rate risk and 2.0% multiplied by the
economic value of its assets.  The rule also authorizes the Director of the OTS, or his designee, to waive or defer an institution's interest rate risk component on a case-by-case basis.  The final rule was effective as of January 1, 1994, subject
however to a three quarter "lag" time between the reporting date of the data used to calculate an institution's interest rate risk and the effective date of each quarter's interest rate risk component.  Recently the OTS postponed the interest rate risk
capital deduction in order to provide sufficient time to implement and evaluate the OTS appeals process as well as get a better sense of the direction that the other federal banking agencies may take in their implementation of Section 305 of FDICIA.

Prompt Corrective Action.  Under Section 39 of the FDIA, as added by the FDICIA, each federal banking agency was required to implement a system of promptly corrective action for institutions which it regulates.  The federal banking agencies,
including the OTS, adopted substantially similar regulations to implement Section 38 of the FDIA, effective as of December 19, 1992.  Under the regulations, an institution is deemed to be (i) "well capitalized" if it has total risk-based capital
of 10.0% or more, than a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or more, has a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or more and is not subject to any order or final capital directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure,
(ii) "adequately capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or more and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4.0% or more (3.0% under certain circumstances) and does not meet the
definition of "well capitalized," (iii) "undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0% or a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio that is less than 4.0% (3.0% under
certain circumstances), (iv) "significantly undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0% or a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio that is less than 3.0%, and (v)
"critically undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2.0%.  Section 38 of the FDIA and the regulations promulgated thereunder also specify circumstances under which a federal banking agency may
reclassify a well capitalized institution as adequately capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized institution or an undercapitalized institution to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category (except that the FDIC
may not reclassify a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized).

---



An institution generally must file a written capital restoration plan which meets specified requirements with an appropriate federal banking agency with 45 days of the date that the institution receives notice or is deemed to have notice that it is
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized.  A federal banking agency must provide the institution with written notice of approval or disapproval with 60 days after receiving a capital restoration plan, subject to
extensions by the agency.

An institution which is required to submit a capital restoration plan must concurrently submit a performance guaranty by each company that controls the institution.  Such guaranty shall be limited to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5.0% of the
institution's total assets at the time the institution was notified or deemed to have notice that it was undercapitalized or (ii) the amount necessary to restore the relevant capital measures of the institution to the levels required for the institution
to be classified as adequately capitalized.  Such a guarantee shall expire after the federal banking agency notifies the institution that it has remained adequately capitalized for each of four consecutive calendar quarters.  An institution which fails to
submit a written capital restoration plan with the requisite period, including any required performance guarantee(s), or fails in any material respect to implement a capital restoration plan, shall be subject to the restrictions in Section 38 of the FDIA
which are applicable to significantly undercapitalized institutions.

Immediately upon becoming undercapitalized, an institution shall become subject to the provisions of Section 38 of the FDIA (i) restricting payment of capital distributions and management fees, (ii) requiring that the appropriate federal banking
agency monitor the condition of the institution and its efforts to restore its capital, (iii) requiring submission of a capital restoration plan, (iv) restricting the growth of the institution's assets and (v) requiring prior approval of certain expansion
proposals.  The appropriate federal banking agency for an undercapitalized institution also may take any number of discretionary supervisory actions if the agency determines that any of these actions is necessary to resolve the problem of the institution
at the least possible long-term cost to the deposit insurance fund, subject in certain cases to specified procedures.  These discretionary supervisory actions include requiring the institution to raise additional capital; restricting transactions with
affiliates; restricting interest rates paid by the institution on deposits; requiring replacement of senior executive officers and directors; restricting the activities of the institution and its affiliates; requiring divestiture of the institution or the
sale of the institution to a willing purchaser; and any other supervisory action that the agency deems appropriate.  These and additional mandatory and permissive supervisory actions may be taken with respect to significantly undercapitalized and
critically undercapitalized institutions.

At September 30, 2000, the Association was deemed a "well capitalized" institution for purpose of the above regulations and as such was not subject to the above mentioned restrictions.

Safety and Soundness.  On November 18, 1993, a joint notice of proposed rulemaking was issued by the OTS, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Reserve Board (collectively, the "agencies") concerning standards for
safety and soundness required to be prescribed by regulation pursuant to Section 39 of the FDIA.  In general, the standards relate to (1) operational and managerial matters; (2) asset quality and earnings; and (3) compensation.  The operational and
managerial standards cover (a) internal controls and information systems, (b) internal audit system, (c) loan documentation, (d) credit underwriting, (e) interest rate risk exposure, (f) asset growth, and (g) compensation, fees and benefits.  Under the
proposed asset quality and earnings standards, the Association would be required to maintain (1) a maximum ratio of classified assets (assets classified substandard, doubtful and to the extent that related losses have not been recognized, assets
classified loss) to total capital of 1.0%, and (2) minimum earnings sufficient to absorb losses without impairing capital.  The last ratio concerning market value to book value was determined by the agencies not to be feasible.  Finally, the proposed
compensation standard states that compensation will be considered excessive if it is unreasonable or disproportionate to the services actually performed by the individual being compensated.  If an insured depository institution or its holding company fail
to meet any of the standards promulgated by regulation, then such institution or company will be required to submit a plan within 30 days to the FDIC specifying the steps it will take to correct the deficiency.  In the event that an institution or company
fails to submit or fails in any material respect to implement a compliance plan within the time allowed by the agency, Section 39 of the FDIA provides that the FDIC must order the institution or company to correct the deficiency and may (1) restrict asset
growth; (2) require the institution or company to increase its ratio of tangible equity to assets; (3) restrict the rates of interest that the institution or company may pay; or (4) take any other action that would better carry out the purpose of prompt
corrective action.  The Association believes that it will be in compliance with each of the standards if they are adopted as proposed.

---



Liquidity Requirements.  Each savings institution is required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowing payable
in one year or less.  The liquidity requirement may vary from time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings flows of all savings institutions.  At the present time, the required minimum liquid asset ratio is 5%.  At
September 30, 2000, the Association's liquidity ratio was in excess of the required minimum.

Capital Distributions.  OTS regulations govern capital distributions by savings institutions, which include cash dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers, interest payments on certain convertible debt and other transactions
charged to the capital account of a savings institution to make capital distributions.  Generally, the regulation creates a safe harbor for specified levels of capital distributions from institutions meeting at least their minimum capital requirements, so
long as such institutions notify the OTS and receive no objection to the distribution from the OTS.  Savings institutions and distributions that do not qualify for the safe harbor are required to obtain prior OTS approval before making any capital
distributions.

Generally, a savings institution that before and after the proposed distribution meets or exceeds its fully phased-in capital requirements (Tier 1 institutions) may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to the higher of (i) 100% of
net income for the calendar year-to-date plus 50% of its "surplus capital ratio" at the beginning of the calendar year or (ii) 75% of net income over the most recent four-quarter period.  The "surplus capital ratio" is defined to mean the percentage by
which the institution's ratio of total capital to assets exceeds the ratio of its fully phased-in capital requirement: is defined to mean an institution's capital requirements under the statutory and regulatory standards applicable on December 31,
1994, as modified to reflect any applicable individual minimum capital requirement imposed upon the institution.  Failure to meet fully phased-in or minimum capital requirements will result in further restrictions on capital distributions, including
possible prohibition without explicit OTS approval.

Tier 2 institutions, which are institutions that before and after the proposed distribution meet or exceed their minimum capital requirements, may make capital distributions up to 75% of their net income over the most recent four quarter period.

In order to make distributions under these safe harbors, Tier 1 and Tier 2 institutions must submit 30-days written notice to the OTS prior to making the distribution.  The OTS may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety
and soundness concerns.  In addition, a Tier 1 institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the OTS may be downgraded to a Tier 2 or Tier 3 institution as a result of such a determination.

Tier 3 institutions, which are institutions that do not meet current minimum capital requirements, or that have capital in excess of either their fully phased-in capital requirement or minimum capital requirement but which have been notified by the
OTS that it will be treated as a Tier 3 institution because they are in need of more than normal supervision, cannot make any capital distribution without obtaining OTS approval prior to making such distributions.

At September 30, 2000, the Association was a Tier 1 institution for purposes of this regulation.

Loans to One Borrower.  FIRREA imposed limitations on the aggregate amount of loans that a savings institution could make to any one borrower, including related entities.  Under FIRREA, the permissible amount of loans-to-one borrower now follows
the national bank standard for all loans made by savings institutions, as compared to the pre-FIRREA rule that applied that standard only to commercial loans made by federally chartered savings institutions.  The regulations promulgated pursuant to FIRREA
generally do not permit loans-to-one borrower to exceed the greater of $500,000 or 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus.  Loans in an amount equal to an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus also may be made to a borrower if the loans are
fully secured by readily marketable securities.

Branching by Federal Savings Institutions.  Effective May 11, 1992, the OTS amended its Policy Statement on Branching by Federal Savings Institutions to permit interstate branching to the full extent permitted by statute (which is
essentially unlimited).  Prior policy permitted interstate branching for federal savings institutions only to the extent allowed for state-chartered institutions in the states where the institution's home office is located and where the branch is sought.
Prior policy also permitted healthy out-of-state federal institutions to branch into another state, regardless of the law in that state, provided the branch office was the result of a purchase of an institution that was in danger of default.

Generally, federal law prohibits federal savings institutions from establishing, retaining or operating a branch outside the state in which the federal institution has its home office unless the institution meets the IRS's domestic building and loan
test (generally, 60% of a thrift's assets must be housing-related) ("IRS Test").  The IRS Test requirement does not apply if: (i) the branch(es) result(s) from an emergency acquisition of a troubled savings institution (however, if the troubled savings
institution is acquired by a bank holding company, does not have its home office in the state of the bank holding company bank subsidiary and does not qualify under the IRS Test, its branching is limited to the branching laws for state-chartered banks in
the state where the savings institution is located); (ii) the law of the state where the branch would be located would permit the branch to be established if the federal savings institution were chartered by the state in which its home office is located;
or (iii) the branch was operated lawfully as a branch under state law prior to the savings institution's conversion to a federal charter.

Furthermore, the OTS will evaluate a branching applicant's record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA").  An unsatisfactory CRA record may be the basis for denial of a branching application.

Qualified Thrift Lender Test.  All savings institutions are required to meet a QTL test set forth in Section 10(m) of the HOLA and regulations of the OTS thereunder to avoid certain restrictions on their operations.  A saving institution that
does not meet the QTL test set forth in the HOLA and implementing regulations must either convert to a bank charter or comply with the following restrictions on its operations: (i) the institution may not engage in any new activity or make any new
investment, directly or indirectly, unless such activity or investment is permissible for a national bank; (ii) the branching powers of the institution shall be restricted to those of a national bank; (iii) the institution shall not be eligible to obtain
any advances from its FHLB; and (iv) payment of dividends by the institution shall be subject to the rules regarding payment of dividends by a national bank.  Upon the expiration of three years from the date the savings institution ceases to be a QTL, it
must cease any activity and not retain any investment not permissible for a national bank and immediately repay any outstanding FHLB advances (subject to safety and soundness considerations).

Currently, the QTL test requires that 65% of an institution's "portfolio assets" (as defined) consist of certain housing and consumer-related assets on a monthly average basis in nine out of every 12 months.  Assets that qualify without limit for
inclusion as part of the 65% requirement are loans made to purchase, refinance, construct, improve or repair domestic residential housing and manufactured housing; home equity loans; mortgage-backed securities (where the mortgages are secured by domestic
residential housing or manufactured housing); stock issued by the FHLB of Atlanta; and direct or indirect obligations of the FDIC.  In addition, the following assets, among others, may be included in meeting the test subject to an overall limit of 20% of
the savings institution's portfolio assets: 50% of residential mortgage loans originated and sold within 90 days of origination; 100% of consumer and educational loans (limited to 10% of total portfolio assets); and stock issued by the FHLMC or the FNMA.
Portfolio assets consist of total assets minus the sum of (i) goodwill and other intangible assets, (ii) property used by the savings institution to conduct its business, and (iii) liquid assets up to 20% of the institution's total assets.  At
September 30, 2000, the qualified thrift investments of the Association were substantially in excess of 20%.

Accounting Requirements.  FIRREA requires the OTS to establish accounting standards to be applicable to all savings institutions for purposes of complying with regulations, except to the extent otherwise specified in the capital standards.
Such standards must incorporate GAAP to the same degree as is prescribed by the federal banking agencies for banks or may be more stringent than such requirements.

Effective October 2, 1992, the OTS amended a number of its accounting regulations and reporting requirements to adopt the following standards: (i) regulatory reports will incorporate GAAP when GAAP is used by federal banking agencies; (ii)
savings institution transactions, financial condition and regulatory capital must be reported and disclosed in accordance with OTS regulatory reporting requirements that will be at least as stringent as for national banks; and (iii) the Director of the
OTS may prescribe regulatory reporting requirements more stringent than GAAP wherever the Director determines that such requirements are necessary to ensure the safe and sound reporting and operation of savings institutions.

Effective February 10, 1992, the OTS adopted a statement of policy ("Statement") set forth in Thrift Bulletin 52 concerning (i) procedures to be used in the selection of a securities dealer, (ii) the need to document and implement prudent
policies and strategies for securities, whether held for investment, trading or for sale, and to establish systems and internal controls to ensure that securities activities are consistent with the financial institution's policies and strategies, (iii)
securities trading and sales practices that may be unsuitable in connection with securities held in an investment portfolio, (iv) high-risk mortgage securities that are not suitable for investment portfolio holdings for financial institutions, and (v)
disproportionately large holdings of long-term, zero-coupon bonds that may constitute an imprudent investment practice.  The Statement applies to investment securities, high-yield, corporate debt securities, loans, mortgage-backed securities and
derivative securities, and provides guidance concerning the proper classification of and accounting for securities held for investment, sale and trading.  Securities held for investment, sale or trading may be differentiated based upon an institution's
desire to earn an interest yield (held for investment), to realize a holding gain from assets held for indefinite periods of time (held for sale), or to earn a dealer's spread between the bid and asked prices (held for trading).  Depository institution
investment portfolios are maintained to provide earnings consistent with the safety factors of quality, maturity, marketability and risk diversification.  Securities that are purchased to accomplish these objectives may be reported at their amortized cost
only when the depository institution has both the intent and ability to hold the assets for long-term investment purposes.  Securities held for investment purposes may be accounted for at amortized cost, securities held for sale are to be accounted for at
the lower of cost or market, and securities held for trading are to be accounted for at market.  The Association believes that its investment activities have been and will continue to be conducted in accordance with the requirements of OTS policies and GAAP
 .

Federal Home Loan Banks.  The FHLBs provide credit to their members in the form of advances.  The Association is a member of the FHLB of Atlanta and must maintain an investment in the capital stock of the FHLB of Atlanta in an amount equal to
the greater of 1% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Association's residential mortgage loans, home purchase contracts, and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, and 5% of its advances from the FHLB.  The Association is in
compliance with this requirement with an investment in stock of the FHLB of Atlanta of $350,400 at September 30, 2000.

FHLB advances to members such as the Association who meet the QTL Test are generally limited to the lower of (i) 25% of the member's assets and (ii) 20 times the member's investment in FHLB stock.  The granting of advances is subject also to the
FHLB's collateral and credit underwriting guidelines.  Upon the origination or renewal of a loan or advance, the FHLB of Atlanta is required by law to obtain and maintain a security interest in collateral in one or more of the following categories:  fully
disbursed, whole first mortgage loans on improved residential property or securities representing a whole interest in such loans;

---



Each FHLB is required to establish standards of community investment or service that its members must maintain for continued access to long-term advances from the FHLBs.  The standards take into account a member's performance under the Community
Reinvestment Act and its record of lending to first-time home buyers.  All long-term advances by each FHLB must be made only to provide funds for residential housing finance.  The FHLBs have established an "Affordable Housing Program" to subsidize the
interest rate of advances to member associations engaged in lending for long-term, low-, and moderate-income, owner-occupied and affordable rental housing at subsidized rates.  The FHLB of Atlanta reviews and accepts proposals for subsidies under that
program twice a year.  The Association has not participated in such program.

Federal Reserve System.  The Federal Reserve Board requires all depository institutions to maintain average daily reserves equal to various percentages against their accounts.  The percentages are subject to adjustment by the Federal Reserve
Board.  At September 30, 2000, the Association met its reserve requirement.  Because required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash or a non-interest-bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of this reserve requirement is
to reduce an institution's earning assets.

Taxation

Federal Taxation.

In addition to the regular income tax, the Association is subject to a minimum tax.  An alternative minimum tax is imposed at a minimum tax rate of 20% on "alternative minimum taxable income" (which is the sum of a corporation's regular taxable
income, with certain adjustments and tax preference items), less any available exemption.  Such tax preference items include (i) 100% of the excess of a thrift institution's bad debt deduction over the amount that would have been allowable based on actual
experience and (ii) interest on certain tax-exempt bonds issued after August 7, 1986.  In addition, 75% of the amount by which a corporation's "adjusted current earnings" exceeds its alternative minimum taxable income computed without regard to this
preference item and prior to reduction by net operating losses, is included in alternative minimum taxable income.  Net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income.  The alternative minimum tax is imposed to the
extent it exceeds the corporation's regular income tax.  Payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years.

If the Association distributes cash or property to its stockholders, and the distribution is treated as being from its accumulated bad debt reserves, the distribution will cause the Association to have additional taxable income.  A distribution is
deemed to have been made from accumulated bad debt reserves to the extent that (a) the reserves exceed the amount that would have been accumulated on the basis of actual loss experience, and (b) the distribution is a "nonqualified distribution."  A
distribution with respect to stock is a nonqualified distribution to the extent that, for federal income tax purposes, (i) it is in redemption of shares, (ii) it is pursuant to a liquidation of the institution, or (iii) in the case of a current
distribution, together with all other such distributions during the taxable year, it exceeds the institution's current and post-1951 accumulated earnings and profits.  The amount of additional taxable income created by a nonqualified distribution is an
amount that when reduced by the tax attributable to it is equal to the amount of the distribution.

The tax returns of the Association have been closed by statute or audited through 1994.  In the opinion of management, any examination of open returns would not result in a deficiency which could have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition of the Association.

Alabama and Delaware Taxation.  The State of Alabama imposes a 6.0% excise tax on the earnings of financial institutions such as the Association.  The 6.0% excise tax also would apply to the Holding Company.  In addition to the excise taxes,
the State of Alabama imposes an annual state franchise tax for domestic and foreign corporations.  A domestic corporation, including a federally chartered stock savings bank domiciled in Alabama, is assessed a domestic franchise tax of approximately 1.0%
based on the par value of its common stock.  Foreign corporations, such as the Holding Company which is incorporated in Delaware, are assessed a foreign franchise tax of 0.3% based on a total of capital (as determined by statute) deemed to be employed in
the state of Alabama.  The foreign corporation's investment in the capital of an Alabama corporation is excluded from the taxable base.  The Holding Company will also be subject to the Delaware franchise tax.

The Company was organized in the State of Delaware, and therefore it will be required to file a franchise tax return with the State of Delaware.  The Company will also be required to file an income tax return in the State of Delaware if it derives
income from business activities carried on in the State of Delaware.  Currently, the Company does not have any business activities in the State of Delaware.

Delaware law provides two methods to calculate the Delaware Franchise Tax.  One method is based on the Company's authorized number of shares and the second method is based on the Company's "assumed no-par capital" with respect to no par shares and on
the Company's "assumed par value capital" with respect to par value shares.  The lesser result under both methods is then used to determine the franchise tax liability in the State of Delaware.

Under the first method the franchise tax is calculated at a base rate of $90 on the first 10,000 shares, plus $50.00 per each additional 10,000 shares or part thereof.

The second method is based on "assumed no-par capital" with respect to no-par shares and an "assumed par-value capital" with respect to par value shares as follows:

1.	The "assumed no-par capital" is the authorized number of shares without par value multiplied by $100.  The tax on the "assumed no-par capital" is $30.00 for each $300,000 or less and is graduated as follows:  (i) $50.00 for over $300,000 but not
over $500,000; (ii) $90.00 for over $500,000 but not over $1,000,000; and (iii) $90 for over $1,000,000, plus $50.00 per each additional $1,000,000 or part thereof.

2.	The tax on par value is $200 for each $1,000,000, or fraction thereof of an "assumed par-value capital."  The "assumed par-value capital" is found as follows:  (i) ascertain average asset value per share by dividing total gross assets by the
total number of issued shares, including shares without par value; (ii) if average asset value is more than par value; it is multiplied by the total number of authorized par value shares; if average assets value is less than par value of any class of
authorized shares, such shares must be taken at their par value.  Where it is necessary to use average asset value for one class of shares and par value of any other class or classes, the "assumed par-value capital" is the sum of the products of the
multiplications.

If a corporation has both no-par shares and par-value shares, the no-par shares are taxed as calculated above upon a share basis which is added to the tax calculated above on the par value shares.
