Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are not audited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ended December 31, 2008.

2.	Accounting Policies

Reference is made to the accounting policies of CCF Holding Company (the “Company”) described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.	Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current period unaudited consolidated financial statements.

4.	Earnings (loss) per share

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period while the effects of potential shares outstanding during the period are included in diluted earnings per share.

Balance at end of period, June 30, 2008	$	4,994,342

7.	Fair Value

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale and derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company early adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Under SFAS 157, the Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:


Level 1		Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2		Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3		Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with SFAS 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” (SFAS 114). The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2008, substantially all of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral. In accordance with SFAS 157, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

Substantially all derivative instruments held or issued by the Company for risk management are traded in over-the-counter markets where quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, the Company measures fair value using market data estimates received from the counterparty. The Company classifies derivatives instruments held or issued for risk management or customer-initiated activities as Level 2.

Foreclosed Assets

Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral, or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The table below presents the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2008.


(in millions) June 30, 2008	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below.

8.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other standard setting entities that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements”, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including this report on Form 10-Q), in its reports to stockholders and in other communications by the Company, which are made in good faith by the Company pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions, that are subject to change based on various important factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s financial performance to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which the Company conducts operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation; interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services of the Company and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services; the willingness of users to substitute competitors’ products and services for the Company’s products and services; the success of the Company in gaining regulatory approval of its products and services, when required; the impact of changes in financial services’ laws and regulations, including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance; technological changes and acquisitions; managing credit risk; changes in consumer spending and saving habits; the impact of the war on terrorism; and the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

The Company cautions that these important factors are not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007

Assets - The Company’s total assets increased $21.6 million, or 5.1%, between December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2008. Loans receivable, net of deferred fees, decreased $8.3 million, or 2.5%, to $312.7 million at June 30, 2008, from $321.0 million at December 31, 2007. The Company’s loan production for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 totaled $11.8 million with $9.9 million in commercial loans, $938,000 in constructions loans and $919,000 in consumer loans. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, loan production totaled $27.6 million, with $21.1 million in commercial loans, $3.7 million in construction loans and $2.8 million in consumer loans. This production did not fully offset repayments and reclassification of loans to real estate owned ($5.8 million) resulting in a net decline in outstanding balances. Commercial loans, including commercial real estate loans, increased $8.7 million however, this growth was offset by net reductions in construction, acquisition and development and lot loans ($16.6 million), 1-4 family first mortgage loans ($90,000), and consumer loans ($379,000). Draws for construction loans decreased from $15.2 million during the first six-months of 2007 to $3.6 million during the first six-months of 2008. In general, economic activity has declined in 2008.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $4.4 million during the quarter, primarily in cash and due from banks. For the six-month period, cash and cash equivalents increased $12.6 million, which include increases of $8.4 million in federal funds sold and $4.2 million in interest-bearing deposits.

Certificates of deposits held in other financial institutions increased for the quarter and six-month period by $19.0 million. This increase was the result of a planned increase in deposit account balances to increase liquidity on the balance sheet of Heritage Bank (the “Bank”).

Investment securities totaled $69.3 million, a decrease of $2.6 million, or 3.7%, over a balance of $71.9 million at December 31, 2007. Several matured and called bonds were not replaced during the six-month period.

Premises and equipment increased a net of $282,000 during the six-month period. Purchases of furniture, fixtures and equipment during the six-months totaled $703,000, partially offset by the depreciation of assets totaling $337,000 and the sale of leasehold improvements at the former Eagles Landing branch location. The purchases were primarily related to the move of the executive group, retail branch and lending group to the new leased facility at Eagles Landing in Stockbridge, Georgia.

Other assets owned increased $2.6 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, from $5.0 million at December 31, 2007 to $7.6 million at June 30, 2008. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, other assets owned declined $690,000. During the six-month period, sales of other real estate have totaled $3.2 million. Current holdings are detailed below in the discussion of operating results.

Liabilities - Total deposits increased during the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $372.3 million, an increase of $14.0 million, or 3.92%, from $358.3 million at March 31, 2008. Transaction accounts (which include non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts, NOW accounts and money market accounts) decreased $13.5 million, or 7.08%, to $177.9 million, from $191.4 million at March 31, 2008. Time deposits increased $27.4 million, or 16.94% during the three-month period from $161.8 million at March 31, 2008, to $189.2 million at June 30, 2008. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, time deposits increased $68.9 million, or 57.26%. Locally generated certificates of deposit account for $19.0 million of the increase in time accounts for the six-month period.

In furtherance of the Bank’s strategy to increase liquidity on the balance sheet, during the six-month period the Bank purchased a total of $49.0 million in brokered deposits and deposits generated through an online service. These deposits have maturities of twelve and fifteen months and represent 13.15% of total deposits. Additionally, as rates continue to decline, the Company has noted that depositors are returning to fixed rate time accounts.

Repurchase accounts, used by small businesses as a cash management tool, increased $1.5 million, or 7.84%, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 with balances of $21.4 million at June 30, 2008 as compared to $19.9 million at December 31, 2007.

Shareholders’ Equity - Shareholders’ equity decreased $906,000, from $32.1 million at December 31, 2007, to $31.2 million at June 30, 2008. This decrease was the result of the change in fair value of available-for-sale investment securities portfolio and the change in the fair value of the cash flow hedge, which when combined totaled $722,000. Further, retained earnings, which declined $250,000 during the six-month period, were affected by the Company’s net loss of $69,000 and cash dividends of $181,000 paid to shareholders in March 31, 2008. The decline in retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income were partially offset by cash received for the exercise of stock options of approximately $122,000. The ratio of shareholders’ equity as a percentage of total assets was 7.02% at June 30, 2008 and 7.59% at December 31, 2007. Book value per share decreased from $8.94 at December 31, 2007, to $8.66 at June 30, 2008.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six-Months Ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007

Operating Results - The Company had net income of $436,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, compared to net earnings of $1.0 million in the same three-month period in 2007. For the six-month period the Company had a net loss of $69,000, as compared to earnings of $2.3 million for the period ended June 30, 2007. For the six-month period this represents a decrease in earnings of $2.4 million.

The reduction in earnings year over year is primarily the result of the decrease in the federal funds rate by 325 basis points, and corresponding decrease in prime rate. The decline in earnings was further compounded by an increase in non-performing loans, expenses related to other real estate owned, and an increase in the provision for loan losses.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company realized a pre-tax gain of approximately $1 million as a result of the sale of a prime floor. The first quarter 2008 pre-tax loss related to the deposit fraud of $923,000 was offset by this gain.

Pretax earnings for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, exclusive of the two one time items noted above, were impacted by the following:

non-performing loans have increased $1.6 million since December 31, 2007, and the related charges to interest income during 2008 totaled $264,000;

expenses related to other real estate owned totaled $189,000; and

the loan loss reserve provision of $2.1 million during the six-month period, represented an increase of $1.8 million over the six-months ended June 30, 2007.

Net Interest Income - Net interest income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, decreased $1.2 million, from $4.6 million in 2007, to $3.4 million. For the six-month period, net interest income declined $2.2 million, or 23.87%, from $9.3 million at June 30, 2007 to $7.1 million at June 30, 2008. Interest income decreased $2.3 million for the twelve-month period from $8.4 million at June 30, 2007, to $6.1 million at June 30, 2008. The net interest margin declined during the second quarter of 2008 to 3.33%, down 38 basis points from 3.71% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and down 121 basis points from 4.54% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.

During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2008, the yield on earning assets decreased by 225 basis points, from 8.10% at June 30, 2007, to 5.85% at June 30, 2008. For the same twelve-month period, the cost of funding decreased 111 basis points from 3.71% at June 30, 2007, to 2.60% at June 30, 2008. Average loans outstanding declined $25.8 million during the twelve-month period, from $334.5 million at June 30, 2007, to $308.7 million at June 30, 2008. This decrease was a contributing factor in the decline of the margin and net interest income for the twelve-month period.

The decline in the net interest margin for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2008 was due primarily to the decrease of 325 basis points in the federal funds target rate, compounded by a reduction in interest income as non-performing loans increased and outstanding loan balances declined. During the increasing rate cycle through 2006, the rates paid on deposit accounts did not increase at the same pace as interest charged on loan accounts. As a result, the rate of interest paid on some deposit accounts could not be adjusted downward to match the decline in prime rate experienced during the first six-months of 2008.

Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 28.25%, from $3.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, to $2.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, interest expense declined $1.8 million, or 24.15%. The decrease is due to the repricing at lower rates of deposit accounts as the Federal Reserve Bank lowered interest rates 325 basis points during the twelve-month period. The majority of the Bank’s certificates of deposit have maturities of twelve-months, indicating that the majority of the time deposits will re-price over the twelve months following the last federal funds increase. The repricing of fixed rate time deposits lags the repricing of floating rate assets causing a negative impact on the margin as well. The average rate paid for deposits decreased from 3.68% for the period ended June 30, 2007, to 2.57% for the period ended June 30, 2008. Local markets are pressuring for higher rates on time accounts. Future periods could be affected if this pressure requires an upward adjustment in the rates paid to attract and retain these deposit accounts.

Provision for Loan Losses - The Bank’s provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, was $1.25 million, as compared to a provision of $150,000 for the period ended June 30, 2007. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the provision was $2.1 million as compared to $290,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The loan loss reserve balance at June 30, 2008, was $5.0 million, or 1.60% of loans outstanding. For the period ended June 30, 2007, the loan loss reserve was $4.1 million, or 1.23% of loans outstanding. Specific allocations in the reserve for non-performing loans total $3.4 million at June 30, 2008. Based on the Bank’s internal calculation the allowance for loan losses is considered adequate. Management will continue to monitor and adjust the allowance provision as necessary during the year based on growth in the loan portfolio, loss experience, workout of non-performing loans, financial condition of borrowers, and continued monitoring of local economic conditions, as well as any other external factors.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, nonperforming assets decreased $379,000 over the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2008 totaling $26.7 million were comprised of $7.6 million in other real estate and $19.1 million in non-accrual loans.

Other real estate totaling $7.6 million includes:

•

$1.8 million secured by 22.5 acres of commercial property in Fulton County, Georgia;

•

$4.3 million secured by 27 completed new construction single family detached homes located in Fayette County, Henry County, Coweta County, Clayton County, DeKalb County and Spalding County, Georgia;

•

$193,000 secured by rental properties located in Spalding County, Georgia; and commercial property in Clayton County, Georgia; and

•

$1.3 million in residential lots located in Henry County, Coweta County, DeKalb County and Clayton County Georgia;

The Bank has in place the program it believes will maximize the value of its real estate owned while continuing to move these properties in a reasonable time period.

Non-accrual loans totaling $19.1 million, or 6.2% of total loans, include:

•

$6.2 million in loans secured by new construction single family detached homes in various stages of completion;

•

$7.0 million in loans secured by developed vacant lots;

•

$3.3 million of commercial loans, primarily secured by commercial real estate located in Henry County, Clayton County, Bibb County and Fayette County, Georgia;

•

$861,000 secured by land located in Coweta County and Newton County Georgia;

•

$1.3 million secured by developed property in Cobb County and Bibb County, Georgia;

•

$170,000 in loans secured by personal property and commercial equipment; and

•

$225,000 of unsecured commercial loans resulting from deficiency balances arranged with borrowers during the workout process. These loans are reserved for in the Bank’s loan loss reserve and are rated accordingly.

Interest has been reversed on all of these loans, with the loss of interest reflected in the current earnings numbers reported. Many of the loans are beyond 90 days delinquent. The Bank is handling these loans through several avenues including pursuing guarantors rather than foreclosure in situations where management believes the guarantors have assets worth pursuing, working with borrowers to liquidate the underlying collateral, and, in some situations, foreclosure.

Other Income – Other income was $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, of this $1.0 million was due to the sale of the prime floor, discussed earlier. During the same quarter, gains on sales of investment securities totaled $58,000. Service charge income increased $30,000 over the same period last year, from $372,000 at June 30, 2007 to $402,000 at June 30, 2008. For the six-month period, service charges increased $70,000 from $720,000 at June 30, 2007 to $790,000 at June 30, 2008.

Other Expenses - Other expenses totaled $3.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, which is a decrease of $175,000 from the quarter ended March 31, 2008. For the six-month period, net of the deposit account fraud noted earlier, other expenses would have been $6.6 million as compared to $6.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. Salaries and employee benefits expenses decreased $167,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, to $1.9 million, as compared to $2.0 million during the same quarter in 2007. For the six-month period, salaries and benefits expenses decreased $198,000. Annual salary increases for the six-month period were offset by a reduction in the accrual for bonuses of $301,000. Occupancy expenses increased $154,000, or 30.13%, from $511,000 at June 30, 2007, to $665,000 at June 30, 2008. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, occupancy expenses increased $305,000, or 29.50%. These increases are due to the rent expense for the new leased facility at Eagles Landing. Miscellaneous other expenses, net of the deposit fraud, decreased $161,000, or 17.16%, from $940,000 at June 30, 2007 to $779,000 at June 30, 2008. Included in miscellaneous other expenses is real estate owned expenses, which increased $135,000 for the six- month period and the Federal

Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) charges for the insurance fund, which increased $120,000 over the six-months ended June 30, 2007 as the assessments were raised to increase the fund’s balance nationally.

Liquidity - The Bank’s short-term liquidity was 16.0% as of June 30, 2008. The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance and FDIC regulations. The Bank adjusts its liquidity level as appropriate to meet its asset/liability objectives. The primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturity of investments, and funds provided from operations. As an alternative to supplement liquidity needs, the Bank has the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and other correspondent banks. These commitments totaled $56.8 million at June 30, 2008, with $5.0 million drawn. Scheduled loan amortization and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, however, deposit flow and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by, among other things, market interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Bank’s liquidity, represented by cash, cash equivalents, and unpledged securities available-for-sale, is a product of its operating, investing, and financing activities.

Capital Ratios – Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. As of June 30, 2008, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since that notification that have changed the Bank’s capital category.

As of June 30, 2008, total risk based capital ratios were 11.69% for the Bank and 12.49% for the consolidated company. The ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets was 10.44% for the Bank and 11.05% for the consolidated company. The Tier 1 capital to average asset ratio (leverage ratio) was 8.29% for the Bank and 9.00% for the consolidated company.
