have been condensed or omitted and should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission for the year ended December 31,
1997.
NOTE 2---BEGINNING OF OPERATIONS
The Company was incorporated under the laws of Georgia on February 14, 1996 for
the purpose of organizing the Bank. On February 3, 1997, the Bank opened for
business and the Company acquired 100% of its common stock. The Company
capitalized the Bank at $6,500,000.00 as required by regulators. Since
February 3, 1997, the Bank has been in operation as a commercial bank offering
traditional banking services in the Cumming, Forsyth County, Georgia area.
NOTE 3---SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH FLOWS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash consists of cash in vault, cash
items, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.
ORGANIZATION COSTS
Costs incurred for the organization of the Company and the Bank (consisting
primarily of legal, accounting, consulting, and incorporation fees) are being
capitalized and are being amortized over a period not to exceed five years (60
months).
PREOPENING EXPENSES
Costs incurred for overhead and other operating expense while in organization
are included in the 1997 operating results.

<PAGE>
NOTE 4---RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
There were no related party transactions during this period.
NOTE 5---PREFERRED STOCK
Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series
as may be established by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company.
Each resolution shall include the number of shares issued, preferences, dividend
provision, special rights and limitations as determined by the Board.
NOTE 6---INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequence attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing asset and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future
tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards, are recognized to the
extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred
tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the period that includes the enactment date.
NOTE 7---COMMITMENTS
The Company entered into an operating lease on the building and premises which
serves as the main office of the Company and the Bank on February 9, 1996. The
inception of the lease was the earlier of the occupation of the building or

lease are for years 1997 through 2000 and are $67,500; $69,525; $71,611; and
$73,759, respectively. The lease is renewable at the end of the term at
prevailing market rates and also contains an option to purchase the premises and
facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Forsyth Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of
Georgia on February 14, 1996 for the purpose of organizing its wholly owned
subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of Forsyth County (the Bank). On February 3,
1997, the Bank opened for business and the Company acquired 100% of its
capital stock. During the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of
1997, the Company sold 800,000 shares of Common Stock at no par value, for a
total consideration of $8,000,000. The Bank was capitalized at $6,500,000 as
required by the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance (Georgia Department).
During 1996, the Company and the Bank were in the process of organizing and
obtaining the necessary approvals from regulatory authorities for opening.
Preliminary approval to charter the Bank was issued in July, 1996 by the Georgia
Department of Banking and Finance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Company's application to become a bank holding company pursuant to the
acquisition of the Bank was approved on November 25, 1996 by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta.
On January 30, 1997, the Bank received final approval and a permit to begin
business from the Georgia Department. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
approved the Bank's application on February 3, 1997.
Since February 3, 1997, the Bank has been in operation as a commercial bank
offering traditional banking services in the Cumming, Forsyth County, Georgia
area. The Citizens Bank of Forsyth County is a local community bank serving
the needs of small to medium sized businesses and local customers who desire the
community banking relationship and services. The Bank offers a variety of
checking, savings and time accounts, and other services such as commercial and
consumer loans, safe deposit boxes, and other services related to banking.
Since it began business, the Bank's performance has demonstrated the
significant need for its services in the Bank's market area. Forsyth
Bancshares, Inc. was formed to offer the Bank flexibility and support and at
this time does not intend to engage in any additional activities permitted by
the Federal Reserve and will function solely on the Bank's behalf.
All financial data set forth herein under the caption "Item 2--Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", have
been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, except where otherwise specified.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
The Bank is subject to regulation by the Georgia Department of Banking and
Finance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company's primary
banking regulator is the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
Federal Reserve).
NET INCOME
The Company's net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $51,000 or
.063 per share. This compares to a loss of $144,000 or (.18) per share for the
first quarter of 1997. The first quarter of 1997 consisted of the period from
opening on February 3, 1997 to March 31, 1997 and also included preopening
losses that must be reflected in the current period results. The net income
for the first quarter of 1998 is primarily due to increases in earning assets
including investment securities, resulting from unusual deposit fund. Income
for the fourth quarter of 1997 was $12,000 and as of December 31, 1997, the
Company had a year to date loss of $500,000 which included startup losses and
first year losses. The Bank reflected its first profit in November 1997 after
only ten months of operation.
8
<PAGE>
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $801,000. The primary
components of interest income was loans at $519,000; securities at $256,000; and
federal funds sold at $22,000. This compared to a net income of $713,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1997, with components of loans at $444,000;
securities at $225,000; and federal funds sold at $44,000. The total increase of
$88,000 is primarily due to an increase in the loan portfolio of approximately
$4 million. The increase in loans is due to the economic factors and
developments in the Forsyth County area and the increase in normal customer
volume.
Forsyth County is growing at a very rapid pace and continued growth in
population and development should benefit a community bank. The quarter ended
March 31, 1997 reflected interest income of $147 thousand. The Bank began
business on February 3, 1997 and at March 31, 1997 only had a total of $3
million in loans. The Company reflected over $12 million in Federal funds
sold at March 31, 1997 compared to 1.5 million at March 31, 1998. The
investment portfolio at March 31, 1997 was $4 million and as of March 31, 1998
was at $16.9 million. The growth in volumes and the ability to invest in
loans and securities have been the primary factors involved in the increases in
interest income. The Bank continues to grow from quarter to quarter in
volumes, creating higher levels of income.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 was $392,000
consisting of $311,000 in time deposit interest and $81,000 in other deposit
interest. This compared to $332,000 for the three-month period ended December
31, 1997, with $257,000 in time deposit interest and $75,000 in other deposit
interest. Deposit growth during the comparison period increased $7.5
million. Again the significant growth in the Bank's market area has enabled
the Bank to increase its customer base. Management continues to develop new
customers and deposit accounts with an emphasis on core deposits. During this
period, $4.2 million of the deposit increase was in time deposits; $1.8 million
in insured Money Market accounts; and approximately $1 million in demand
deposits. As of March 31, 1997, the Bank had interest expense of only $48,000
with a deposit volume of only $14.5 million. The Bank opened for business on
February 3, 1997 and reflects less than sixty (60) days in the first quarter of
1997.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $409,000 (before
loan loss reserve allocation) compared to $381,000 for the quarter ended
December 31, 1997. The loan loss allowance for March 31, 1998 and December
31, 1998 was $51,000 and $88,000, respectively. This increase of approximately
$28,000 was due primarily to the increase in the loan portfolio. Loans
increased by $4 million during the comparison period. The net interest margin
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was 1.01% ( before loan loss provision )
compared to 1.06% for the quarter ended December 31,1997. Although loans
increased by $4 million, deposits also increased by $7.5 million reducing the
loan to deposit ratio from 62% as of December 31, 1997 to 60% as of March 31,
1998, thereby reducing the net interest margin. Net interest income for the
period ended March 31, 1997 was $99,000 (before loan loss allocation) and
consisted of $36,000 in loan income; $94,000 in federal funds sold income;
$17,000 in securities income; and $48,000 total deposit expense. Again, the
bank was open less than sixty (60) days during this quarter.
9
<PAGE>
NON INTEREST INCOME
Non interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $24,000 compared to
$17,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. This increase of
approximately $7,000 is attributable to increases in deposit accounts, thereby
increasing service charges and customer service fees. Service charges and
customer service fees increased by $3,000 and other fees by $4,000. Non-
interest income for the period ended March 31, 1997 was only $6,000 and
primarily resulted from the opening of new safe deposit boxes during the first
sixty (60) days of business.
NON INTEREST EXPENSE
Non interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $331,000,
consisting of $173,000 in salaries and employee benefits; $63,000 in occupancy
and equipment; and $95,000 in other operating expenses. This compares to a
total of $298,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 consisting of
$152,000 in salaries and employee benefits; occupancy and equipment expense of
$63,000; and $83,000 in other operating expense. The total increase of $33,000
is primarily due to an increase in staffing, thereby increasing employee
salaries and benefits. Approximately $21,000 of the increase is due to
staffing increases. The other $12,000 is other normal operating expenses
created by the normal course of business and growth. The Company currently
employs fourteen (14) employees including its officers and has only increased
its staff since opening February 3, 1997 by two clerical employees. Non-
interest expense as of March 31, 1997 was $215,000 and consisted of $105,000 in
salaries and employee benefits; $36,000 in occupancy and equipment; and
$74,000 in other operating expenses. Again, the Bank opened on February 3,
1997 and the expense includes certain pre-opening expenses that were accrued
during the organization of the Bank and the Company.
INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 1997, the Company had federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $116,000 and $261,000,
respectively, which will expire beginning in 2011 if not previously utilized.
No income tax expense or benefit was recorded for the periods ended December 31,
1997 or March 31, 1998.
ASSET QUALITY
Total assets at March 31, 1998 were $45.6 million compared to $38 million at
December 31, 1997, reflecting an increase of $7.6 million. Loans increased
approximately $4 million or 21.27% and investment securities increased by
approximately $2.2 million. Return on average assets for quarter ended March
31, 1998 was .12% compared to .03% as of the quarter ended December 31, 1997.
Deposits reflected at an increase of $7.5 million or 24.9% during this
comparison period. Total assets as of March 31, 1997 were $22.2 million.
As of March 31, 1998, the Company had $42,000 in past due balances on loans
and none of those over thirty (30) days. There were no charged off loans or
recoveries in the portfolio. There were $2,000 in gains on securities which
matured or were called by the issuer. There were no past due loans, chargeoffs
or recoveries for the quarters ended December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1997.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The loan portfolio is periodically reviewed to evaluate the outstanding loans
and to measure both the performance of the portfolio and the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. This analysis includes a review of delinquency
trends, actual losses and internal credit ratings. Based on this analysis,
management considers the allowance for loan losses of $286,000 at March 31, 1998
to be adequate to cover possible loan losses in the portfolio as of that date.
However, because of the inherent uncertainty of assumptions
10
<PAGE>
made during the evaluation process, there can be no assurance that loan losses
in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that
additional allocations to the allowance will not be required. At March 31,
1998, the allowance for loan losses was 1.25% of total loans outstanding.

</TABLE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management considers the Company's liquidity to be adequate to meet operating
and loan funding requirements at March 31, 1998. At March 31, 1998, the
liquidity ratio (i.e. cash, short-term assets and marketable assets divided by
deposits and short term liabilities) for the Bank was 54.97% and the loan to
deposit ratio was approximately 60%. As the portfolio grows, management will
continue to monitor the liquidity of the Bank and the Company and make
adjustments as deemed necessary. Investing the Bank's available funds in loans
and other high yielding interest securities will increase the banks earning
potential.
Requirements by banking regulators now include the monitoring of risk based
capital guidelines for banks and holding companies that are designed to make
capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles and account
for off balance sheet items. Tier 1 capital includes common shareholders'
equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interest in equity
accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, but exclude goodwill and most other
intangibles and excludes the allowance for loan and lease losses. Tier 2
capital includes the excess of any preferred stock not included in Tier 1
capital, mandatory convertible securities, hybrid capital instruments,
subordinated debt and intermediate term-preferred stock and general reserves for
loans and lease losses up to 1.25% of risk weighted assets.
The Bank and the Company exceed the regulatory minimums on capital requirements
and ratios. However, as the Company and the Bank continue to grow and the loan
portfolio increases, these ratios should adjust downward. Management will
monitor these amounts and ratios on a continuous basis. Set forth below is our
analysis of the current regulatory capital levels, including comparisons of
actual capital levels to the regulatory minimums.
