(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Georgia-Carolina Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, First Bank of Georgia, (the "Bank"). Significant
intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
The financial statements as of September 30, 1999 and for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited and have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report
for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to a fair presentation of the financial position and results for
interim periods.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and
income and expense amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of
shares outstanding. As the Company has granted stock options to certain officers
of the Company, diluted earnings per share has been presented in the Statements
of Income.
The following reconciles, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the
numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share

NOTE 3 - STOCK OFFERING
During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company completed an "any and all"
best efforts public offering of its common stock. The Company issued 296,370
shares through this offering. Gross proceeds of the offering were $4,000,995.

NOTE 4 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities," which established accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. This Statement was
effective for the Company's year beginning January 1, 2000. In June 1999, the
FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133," which
delays the implementation date to the Company's year beginning January 1, 2001.
Management of the Company is presently determining the effects of this Statement
on the Company's financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The Company's net income was $47,000 for the third quarter of 1999, an increase
of $3,000 (6.8%) from net income of $44,000 for the third quarter of 1998. Basic
earnings per share were $0.05 for the third quarter of 1999, a decrease of $0.02
(28.6%) from $0.07 for the third quarter of 1998. Total consolidated assets at
September 30, 1999 were $56,567,000, an increase of $10,958,000 (24%) from
December 31, 1998 total consolidated assets of $45,609,000 and an increase of
$12,769,000 (29.1%) from September 30, 1998 total consolidated assets of
$43,798,000.
The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 1999
resulted from an increase in net interest income of $136,000 (28.8%), offset by
a $42,000 (11.7%) increase in interest expense, a $52,000 (100.0%) increase in
the provision for loan losses, a $39,000 (15.5%) increase in personnel costs and
benefits and a $26,000 (48.1%) increase in occupancy costs.
The Company's net income was $123,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999, a decrease of $19,000 (13.4%) from the nine months ended September 30,
1998. Basic earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$0.14, a decrease of $0.08 (36.4%) from $0.22 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. While net interest income increased $219,000 (15.3%) and
noninterest income increased $55,000 (25.3%) from the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, an increase of $80,000 (100.0%) in the provision for loan
losses and an increase of $202,000 (13.9%) in noninterest expense offset the
income increase, resulting in declined net income.
The return on average assets was .32% (annualized) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, compared to .45% (annualized) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998. The return on average equity was 1.80% (annualized) for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to 2.57% (annualized) for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Further discussion of significant items affecting net income are discussed in
detail below.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is the difference between the interest and fees earned on
loans, securities, and other interest-earning assets (interest income) and the
interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest expense). Higher net
interest income is a result of the relationship between the interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest income was $609,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
an increase of $136,000 (28.8%) from $473,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998. The increase was primarily the result of investing increased
deposit liability funds in loans. Interest-earning assets were $49,713,000 at
September 30, 1999 compared to $38,836,000 at September 30, 1998, an increase of
$10,877,000 (28%). Loans, the highest yielding component of interest-earning
assets, were $34,069,000, an increase of $13,087,000 (62.4%) from the September
30, 1998 balance of $20,982,000. At September 30, 1999, loans represented 68.5%
of interest-earning assets compared to 54.0% at September 30, 1998. Investments
in securities were $12,494,000 at September 30, 1999, a decrease of $2,261,000
(15.3%) from the September 30, 1998 balance of $14,755,000. Interest-bearing
deposits were $40,060,000 at September 30, 1999, an increase of $7,798,000
(24.2%) from the September 30, 1998 balance of $32,262,000. Time deposit
accounts, which typically represent the highest cost of funds, increased
$3,430,000 (17.4%) from September 30, 1998.

GEORGIA-CAROLINA BANCSHARES, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The Company has obtained increasing funds to be invested in interest-earning
assets from a capital stock offering completed in March of 1999 and through
increased office locations providing additional access to deposit account
customers. The Company's capital stock offering provided funds of approximately
$3.8 million. These funds are being utilized to expand the Company's office
locations but may be invested in earning assets until utilized. The Company is
obtaining additional deposit funds primarily as a result of the new office
location located in Augusta, Georgia on Wrightsboro Road. In October of 1999,
the Company completed and opened a second Augusta location on Washington Road in
Columbia County.
INTEREST INCOME
Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $1,011,000, an
increase of $178,000 (21.4%) from the three months ended September 30, 1998. The
increase in interest income primarily resulted from the increase in
interest-earning assets invested in loans. Interest income on loans was $773,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $216,000 (38.8%)
from the September 30, 1998 three month earnings of $557,000.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $402,000, an
increase of $42,000 (11.7%) from $360,000 for the three months ended September
30, 1998. The increase primarily resulted from the increase in interest-bearing
deposit accounts as previously discussed.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income was $82,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, a
decrease of $7,000 (7.9%) from the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $3,000 (4.1%), while realized
gains on sales of securities decreased $5,000 (100%). While deposit funds have
increased from September 30, 1998, service charges on deposit accounts have
remained constant as the primary growth in deposit funds has been in accounts
that typically do not incur substantial service charges.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense was $568,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999,
an increase of $77,000 (15.7%) from the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Salary and employee benefit costs increased $39,000 (15.5%) primarily as a
result of additional employees hired at the Company's Augusta office in 1999.
Occupancy expenses increased $26,000 (48.1%) primarily as a result of
acquisitions of new equipment and as a result of expense incurred with the new
office. Other operating expenses increased $12,000 (6.5%) in part as a result of
additional fees incurred with the Augusta office.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the third quarter of 1999 was $24,000, a decrease of
$3,000 (11.1%) from the comparable quarter of 1998. The Company's current tax
provision for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 is $48,000. The Company
has also recorded a deferred tax expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 of $18,000. The Company's tax expense for the current quarter has remained
constant with the 1998 comparable quarter and has increased from the prior
comparable year-to-date as a result of effects of the changes in the Bank's loan
loss experience ratio and the related loan loss provision as allowed by income
tax regulations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
OVERVIEW
Management continuously monitors the financial condition of the Bank in order to
protect depositors, increase retained earnings and protect current and future
earnings. Further discussion of significant items affecting the Bank's financial
condition are discussed in detail below.
ASSET QUALITY
A major key to long-term earnings growth is the maintenance of a high-quality
loan portfolio. The Bank's directive in this regard is carried out through its
policies and procedures for extending credit to the Bank's customers. The goal
and result of these policies and procedures is to provide a sound basis for new
credit extensions and an early recognition of problem assets to allow the most
flexibility in their timely disposition.
Non-performing assets were $357,000 at September 30, 1999, compared to $473,000
at December 31, 1998 and $254,000 at September 30, 1998. The composition of
non-performing assets for each date is shown below.

------- ------- -------
$357,000 $473,000 $254,000
======= ======= =======
</TABLE>
The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and other real estate was 1.0%
at September 30, 1999, 2.1% at December 31, 1998, and 1.2% at September 30,
1998.
Reduction and disposition of non-performing assets is a management priority.
Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made periodically to maintain the
allowance at an appropriate level based upon management's analysis of potential
risk in the loan portfolio. The amount of the loan loss allowance and related
provision is determined by an evaluation of the level of loans outstanding, the
level of non-performing loans, historical loan loss experience, delinquency
trends, the amount of actual losses charged to the allowance in a given period,
and assessment of present and anticipated economic conditions. From the
previously described analysis, management determined that the allowance for loan
losses should be increased through a provision for loan losses of $52,000 during
the quarter ended September 30, 1999. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to
total loans was 2.8% at September 30, 1999. At December 31, 1998 the ratio was
3.7% and was 3.9% at September 30, 1998. Management considers the current
allowance for loan losses appropriate based upon its analysis of the potential
risk in the portfolio, although there can be no assurance that the assumptions
underlying such analysis will continue to be correct.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is the ability of an organization to meet its financial commitments
and obligations on a timely basis. These commitments and obligations include
credit needs of customers, withdrawals by depositors, and payment of operating
expenses and dividends. The Bank does not anticipate any events which would
require liquidity beyond that which is available through deposit growth, federal
funds balances, or investment portfolio maturities. The Bank actively manages
the levels, types and maturities of earning assets in relation to the sources
available to fund current and future needs to ensure that adequate funding will
be available at all times.

<PAGE> 12
GEORGIA-CAROLINA BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The Bank's liquidity remains adequate to meet operating and loan funding
requirements. The Bank's liquidity ratio at September 30, 1999 was 31.3%,
compared to 44.0% at December 31, 1998, and 43.9% at September 30, 1998.
Management is committed to maintaining capital at a level sufficient to protect
depositors, provide for reasonable growth, and fully comply with all regulatory
requirements. Management's strategy to achieve this goal is to retain sufficient
earnings while providing a reasonable return on equity. Federal banking
regulations establish certain capital adequacy standards required to be
maintained by banks. These regulations set minimum requirements for risk-based
capital of 4% for core capital ("Tier I"), 8% for total risk-based capital and
3% for the leverage ratio. At September 30, 1999, the Bank's Tier I capital was
27.37% and total risk-based capital was 28.63%, compared to 26.1% and 27.4% at
year-ended December 31, 1998, respectively. At September 30, 1999, the Bank's
leverage ratio was 20.23% compared to 16.7% at December 31, 1998.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
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 (the "Commission") and its reports to
stockholders. Such forward-looking statements are made based on management's
belief as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to,
management pursuant to "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual results may differ
materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due
to a variety of factors, including governmental monetary and fiscal policies,
deposit levels, loan demand, loan collateral values, securities portfolio values
and interest rate risk management; the effects of competition in the banking
business from other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage
banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage
firms, insurance companies, money market mutual funds and other financial
institutions operating in the Company's market area and elsewhere, including
institutions operating through the Internet; changes in government regulations
relating to the banking industry, including regulations relating to branching
and acquisitions; failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of
reserves for loan losses, including the value of collateral underlying
delinquent loans, and other factors. The Company cautions that such factors are
not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking
statement that may be made from time to time by, or on behalf of, the Company.
YEAR 2000
A critical issue affecting companies that rely extensively on electronic data
processing systems, such as the Company, is the Year 2000 issue. This issue
deals with the Company's ability to process year-date data accurately beyond the
year 1999. The Year 2000 issue has been a well-publicized, but nevertheless
continually evolving issue. The Company is dependent upon electronic data
processing for nearly all of its major activities. During 1997, the Company
formed an internal task force, chaired by the Executive Vice President, to
address the Year 2000 issue, conduct a comprehensive review of the Company's
systems and ensure that the Company takes any necessary measures. The Company
believes that its systems, those of the Bank and its data processing service
provider are currently Year 2000 compliant and does not believe that material
expenditures will be necessary to implement any further modifications. As of
September 30, 1999, the Company had spent approximately $49,000 to upgrade its
software and hardware systems to help ensure that its systems would be Year 2000
compliant. The Company has issued a certification request to its data processing
servicing provider seeking assurance that its systems will be Year 2000
compliant. The service provider has responded that its systems are Year 2000
compliant now. Testing of the Company's mission-critical systems has been
completed and no problems have been identified.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The Company also recognizes the importance of determining that its borrowers are
facing the Year 2000 problem in a timely manner to avoid deterioration of its
loan portfolio solely due to this issue. All material relationships have been
identified to assess the inherent risks. The Company continues to work on a
one-on-one basis with any borrower who has been identified as having high Year
2000 risk exposure.
The Company's contingency plans relative to Year 2000 issues have been
finalized. Management has developed a "worst case scenario" contingency plan
which will, among other things, anticipate that the Company's deposit customers
will have increased demands for cash in the latter part of 1999. The plan also
provides for copies of documents to be produced in case of equipment failure,
utilization of security personnel in case of security equipment failure, manual
posting of transactions, hiring of temporary additional personnel and telephone
verification of information normally received by electronic means.
