              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JUNE 30, 1999
                                   (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 June 30, 1999 and for the six months and three
months ended June 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 Bank'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 the numerators and denominators of the basic and
diluted earnings per share computations:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW
The Company's net income was $30,000 for the second quarter of 1999, a decrease
of $13,000 (30.2%) from net income of $43,000 for the second quarter of 1998.
Basic earnings per share were $.03 for the second quarter of 1999, a decrease
of $.04 (57.1%) from $0.07 for the second quarter of 1998. Total consolidated
assets at June 30, 1999 were $53,560,000, an increase of $7,951,000 (17.4%)
from total consolidated assets of $45,609,000 at December 31, 1998 and an
increase of $9,571,000 (21.7%) from total consolidated assets of $43,989,000 at
June 30, 1998.

The decline in net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999, primarily
resulted from an increase in personnel costs and benefits of $33,000 (13.0%),
an increase in occupancy costs of $24,000 (51.1%), an increase in provision for
loan losses of $28,000, and an increase in operating expenses of $27,000
(14.0%) from the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The Company's net income
benefitted as net interest income rose to $552,000, an increase of $58,000
(11.7%) from the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

The Company's net income was $76,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, a
decrease of $22,000 (22.4%) from the six months ended June 30, 1998. Basic
earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $.09, a decrease
of $.06 (40.0%) from $.15 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease
in net income primarily resulted from an increase in noninterest expense of
$125,000 from the six months ended June 30, 1998. Net income benefitted as net
interest income rose to $1,043,000, an increase of $83,000 (8.6%) from the six
months ended June 30, 1998.

The return on average assets was .31% (annualized) for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to 0.46% (annualized) for the six months ended June 30,
1998. The return on average equity was 1.66% (annualized) for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, compared to 2.67% (annualized) for the six months ended
June 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 $552,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, an
increase of $58,000 (11.7%) from $494,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The increase was primarily the result of investing increased deposit
liability funds in loans. Interest-earning assets were $47,807,000 at June 30,
1999 compared to $39,619,000 at June 30, 1998, an increase of $8,188,000
(20.7%). Loans, the highest yielding component of interest-earning assets, were
$30,360,000 at June 30, 1999, an increase of $9,728,000 (47.2%) from the June
30, 1998 balance of $20,632,000. At June 30, 1999, loans represented 63.5% of
interest-earning assets compared to 52.0% at June 30, 1998. Investments in
securities were $12,877,000 at June 30, 1999, a decrease of $2,901,000 from the
June 30, 1998 balance of $15,778,000. Interest-bearing deposits were
$37,432,000 at June 30, 1999, an increase of $5,679,000 (17.9%) from the June
30, 1998 balance of $31,753,000.

INTEREST INCOME
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $912,000, an
increase of $66,000 (7.8%) from $846,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The increase in interest income primarily resulted from an increase in
interest-earning assets invested in loans. Interest income on loans was
$657,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $83,000
(14.5%) from $574,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Interest income
has also increased from 1998 as a result of investing additional funds obtained
from the Company's capital offering completed in March of 1999.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $360,000, an
increase of $8,000 (2.3%) from $352,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The increase primarily resulted from the increase in interest-bearing
deposit accounts as previously discussed.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income was $97,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, an
increase of $25,000 (34.7%) from the three months ended June 30, 1998. Service
charges on deposit accounts increased $15,000 (25.9%). Other income increased
$17,000 (242.9%), primarily from a gain on the disposition of real estate and
other real estate transactions.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Noninterest expense was $578,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, an
increase of $84,000 from the three months ended June 30, 1998. Salary and
employee benefit costs increased $33,000 (13.0%) primarily as a result of
additional employees hired at the Company's recently opened office in Augusta.
Occupancy expenses increased $24,000 (51.1%) as a result of acquisitions of new
equipment and as a result of expenses incurred with the new office. Other
operating expenses increased $27,000 (14.0%) as a result of additional office
supplies and other fees incurred with the opening of the Augusta office.

INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the second quarter of 1999 was $13,000, a decrease of
$16,000 (55.2%) from the comparable quarter of 1998. The Company's current tax
provision for the six months ended June 30, 1999 is $48,000. The Company has
also recorded a deferred tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 1999 of
$6,000. The Company's tax expense for the current quarter has declined from the
1998 comparable quarter as a result of decreased income before income taxes and
effects of the changes in the Bank's loan loss experience ratio and the related
loan loss provision as allowed by income tax regulations.


                          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 $149,000 at June 30, 1999, compared to $473,000 at
December 31, 1998 and $281,000 at June 30, 1998. The composition of
non-performing assets for each date is shown below.

</TABLE>

The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and other real estate was
 .48% at June 30, 1999, 2.1% at December 31, 1998, and 1.4% at June 30, 1998.

Reduction of non-performing assets continues to be 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 $28,000 during the quarter ending June 30, 1999. The ratio of
allowance for loan losses to total loans was 2.9% at June 30, 1999. At December
31, 1998 the ratio was 3.7% and was 4.0% at June 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.

The Bank's liquidity remains adequate to meet operating and loan funding
requirements. The Bank's liquidity ratio at June 30, 1999 was 35.7%, compared
to 44.0% at December 31, 1998, and 45.6% at June 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 June 30, 1999, the Bank's Tier I capital was
29.8% and total risk-based capital was 31.0%, compared to 26.1% and 27.4% at
year-ended December 31, 1998, respectively. At June 30, 1999, the Bank's
leverage ratio was 21.5% 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
statements 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
June 30, 1999, the Company had spent approximately $45,000 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.

The Company also recognizes the importance of determining that its borrowers
are facing the Year 2000 problem i 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 plans 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 and modified 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.
