(1)  Organization and Basis of Presentation
     --------------------------------------
     Decatur First Bank Group, Inc. (Decatur First), a bank holding company,
     owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of Decatur First Bank (the Bank),
     which operates in the Decatur, Georgia area. The Bank opened for business
     on September 2, 1997.

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Decatur First
     and the Bank. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
     eliminated in consolidation.

     The interim financial statements included herein are unaudited but reflect
     all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
     fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for
     the inteim period presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring
     nature. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2000
     are not necessarily indicative of the results of a full year's operations.

     The accounting principles followed by Decatur First and the methods of
     applying these principles conform with generally accepted accounting
     principles (GAAP) and with general practices within the banking industry.
     In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is
     required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
     in the financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from
     those estimates. Material estimates common to the banking industry that are
     particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include,
     but are not limited to, the determinations of the allowance for loan
     losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with or in lieu
     of foreclosure on loans, and valuation allowances associated with deferred
     tax assets, the recognition of which are based on future taxable income.

Item 2.

                         DECATUR FIRST BANK GROUP, INC.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

             For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999


Financial Condition

   Total assets at September 30, 2000 were $61,923,375 representing a
$12,164,479 (24%) increase from December 31, 1999. Deposits increased $6,687,236
(16%) and loans increased $9,527,911 (38%) from December 31, 1999 to September
30, 2000. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2000 totaled $574,087,
representing 1.7% of total loans compared to December 31, 1999 totals of
$373,156, which represented 1.7% of total loans. Cash and cash equivalents
increased $2,006,552 from December 31, 1999 to September 30, 2000.

   At September 30, 2000, the Bank had one loan totaling $95,000 that had been
placed in nonaccrual status. Other than this loan, there were no related party
loans or other loans which were considered nonperforming at September 30, 2000.

Results of Operations

     Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $204,230,
compared to a net income of $38,829 for the same period in 1999.  The increase
in net income was primarily associated with an increase in net interest income
($818,510).  This increase was offset by $371,141 in additional other expenses
as well as an increase in provision for loan losses of $80,000.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Bank's yield on earning
assets was 8.4% while the cost of funding sources was 4.20%. While the net
interest spread was 4.16%, the net interest margin, which considers the effect
of non-interest bearing deposits, was 5.25%, an increase of 112 basis points as
compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in the net interest
margin was due to an increase in the amount of outstanding loans and the
proportion of outstanding loans as well as an increase in non-interest bearing
deposits relative to total deposits.  Net interest income increased $818,510 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 over the same period for 1999 primarily
due to the volume of earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
Management monitors the rate sensitivity of earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities over the entire life of these instruments, but places particular
emphasis on the first year.

     Other income decreased approximately $75,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to the same period for 1999 due to a reduction in
fees from the sale of SBA loans.  This overall decrease was caused by a
reduction in the sale of SBA loans of $119,000, and was offset by an increase in
service charges on deposit accounts of approximately $56,000 related to an
increase in the number of accounts.

     Other expense increased approximately $371,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to the same period for 1999, primarily due to an
increase in the volume of business, which led to additional expense necessary to
service new business.
