NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have bee prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of
operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10 - KSB for the
year ended December 31, 1999.
Prior period financial information has been restated for a business combination
with UB&T Financial Services Corporation (and its subsidiary, United Bank &
Trust), which was consummated on February 29, 2000 and accounted for as a
pooling of interests in conformity with generally accepted principles.
NOTE 2. CURRENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
In June of 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, " Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." The effective date of this statement has
been deferred by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 137,
until fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. However, the statement permits
early adoption as of the beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance. The
Company expects to adopt this statement effective January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133
requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. For derivatives that are not
designated as hedges, the gain or loss must be recognized in earnings in the
period of change. For derivatives that are designated as hedges, changes in the
fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments must be
recognized in earnings, depending on the nature of the hedge. The ineffective
portion of a derivative's change in fair value must be recognized in earnings
immediately. Management has not yet determined what effect the adoption of SFAS
No. 133 will have on the Company's earnings or financial position.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors that have affected the financial position and operating results of the
Company and its bank subsidiaries, Gainesville Bank & Trust and United Bank &
Trust (the "Banks"), during the periods included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. On February, 29, 2000, the Company completed
its merger with UB&T Financial Services Corporation (and its subsidiary, United
Bank & Trust). The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests. All
prior period financial information has been restated to reflect the merger.
Forward-Looking Statements
- --------------------------
Some of the statements made in this quarterly report (and in other documents to
which we refer) are "forward-looking statements." When used in this document,
the words, "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," and similar expressions
generally identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the
beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of the Company's management, and on
information currently available to those members of management. They are
expressions of historical fact, not guarantees of future performance.
Forward-looking statements include information concerning possible or assumed
future results of operations of the Company.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, and
certain factors could cause actual results to differ from results expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements, including:
1. economic conditions (both generally and in the markets where the
Company operates);
2. competition from other companies that provide financial services
similar to those offered by the Company;
3. government regulation and legislation;
4. changes in interest rates; and
5. unexpected changes in the financial stability and liquidity of the
Company's credit customers.
We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable. You should not,
however, place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, because the
future results and stockholder values of the Company may differ materially from
those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Financial Condition
- -------------------
The Company reported consolidated total assets of approximately $318.4 million
at March 31, 2000 and approximately $307.9 million at December 31, 1999,
representing an increase of $10.5 million or 3.4%. The Company experienced
moderate growth in total assets, loans and deposits during the three months
ended March 31, 2000. Total loans increased by $9.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. Total deposits increased $7.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. The loan to deposit ratio as of March 31, 2000 was
approximately 98% up from 96% at year end, reflecting continued strong loan
demand. To help meet the loan demand the Company obtained additional advances
8
<PAGE>
from The Federal Home Loan Bank in the amount of $6 million. The Company
continues to face increasing competitive pressures in its growing deposit
market.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Liquidity management involves the matching of the cash flow requirements of
customers who may be either depositors desiring to withdraw funds or borrowers
needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit
needs and the ability of the Company to meet those needs. The Company seeks to
meet liquidity requirements primarily through management of short-term
investments, monthly amortizing loans, maturing single payment loans, and
maturities of securities and prepayments. Also the Company maintains
relationships with correspondent banks which could provide funds on short
notice. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had borrowed under Federal funds
purchase lines and securities sold under agreement to repurchase $10.0 million
compared to $14.0 million at December 31, 1999.
The liquidity and capital resources of the Company are monitored on a periodic
basis by management and State and Federal regulatory authorities. Management
reviews liquidity on a periodic basis to monitor and adjust liquidity as
necessary. Management has the ability to adjust liquidity by selling securities
available for sale, selling participations in loans generated by the Company and
accessing available funds through various borrowing arrangements. The Company's
short-term investments and available borrowing arrangements are adequate to
cover any reasonably anticipated immediate need for funds. The Company is not
aware of any events or trends likely to result in a material change in
liquidity.
The Company's liquidity ratio was 19.63% at March 31, 2000, slightly below the
Company's target of 20%. Liquidity is measured by the ratio of net cash, Federal
funds sold and securities to net deposits and short-term liabilities. The Banks
have lines of credit available to meet any unforeseen liquidity needs. Also, the
Banks have a relationship with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta which
provides funding for loan growth on an as needed basis.
As of March 31, 2000, the capital ratios at the Company and the Banks were
adequate based on regulatory minimum capital requirements. The Company and its
bank subsidiaries' actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the
following table.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Company's profitability is determined by its ability to effectively manage
interest income and expense, to minimize loan and security losses, to generate
noninterest income, and to control operating expenses. Since interest rates are
determined by market forces and economic conditions beyond the control of the
Company, the Company's ability to generate net interest income is dependent upon
its ability to obtain an adequate net interest spread between the rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities and the rate earned on interest-earning assets. The
net yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 4.59% during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 when compared to the same period in 1999. This 20
basis point decrease is primarily due to competitive pressures on loan and
deposit pricing and the conclusion of a planned three year aggressive growth
plan. In the first quarter of 2000 the yield on earning assets increased to
9.14% from 8.95% while the yield of interest beaing liabilities increased to
5.17% from 4.78%.
Net interest income increased $691,000 or 26.8% for the three months ended March
31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The net increase consists of an
increase in interest income of $1,719,000 or 35.5% less an increase in interest
expense of $1,028,000 or 45.6% for the three month period. The increase in net
interest income is due primarily to growth in total interest-earning assets
during the three month period compared to the same prior year period.
The Banks' provision for loan losses decreased by $64,000 or 27.3% during the
three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. The
allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2000 was $3,038,000 or 1.25% of total
loans compared to 1.26% at March 31, 1999. Based on management's evaluation, the
allowance is adequate to absorb any potential loan losses at March 31, 2000.
The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three month period ended
March 31, 2000 as compared to 1999 is based on a strong economy and a decrease
in net charge-offs and a decline in non-accrual and past due loans. The analysis
below indicates a decrease in net charge-offs for the three months ended March
31, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. The allowance for loan losses
is evaluated monthly and adjusted to reflect the risk in the portfolio.
The following table summarizes the allowance for loan losses for the three month
periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

The following table is a summary of nonaccrual, past due and restructured debt.
The numbers indicate decreases of $135,000 in nonaccrual loans and decreases of
$1,360,000 in past due loans over 90 days. The decrease in nonaccrual was
primarily due to charge-offs of the nonaccrual loans. The decrease in past dues
was due primarily to a large loan being brought current. There are minimal or no
losses anticipated on nonaccrual or past due loans.

</TABLE>
The Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income when, in
the opinion of management, collection of such interest becomes doubtful. This
status is determined when; (1) there is a significant deterioration in the
financial condition of the borrower and full repayment of principal and interest
is not expected; and (2) the principal or interest is more than 90 days past
due, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection.
Accrual of interest on such loans is resumed when, in management's judgment, the
collection of interest and principal becomes probable.
Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or
special mention that have not been included in the table above do not represent
or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will
11
<PAGE>
materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources.
These classified loans do not represent material credits about which management
is aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to
the ability of such borrowers to comply with their loan repayment terms.
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2000, decreased by $23,000 or
4.6% compared to the same period in 1999. Service charges increased $19,000 and
other operating income increased by $10,000. These increases in other income
were offset by decreases in mortgage origination fees of $52,000. The decline in
mortgage origination fees resulted from a decline in refinancing activity and
increases in interest rates.
Other expenses increased by approximately $437,000 or 20.4% for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The increase is due
primarily to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $250,000. The
increase in salaries and employee benefits is due to the addition of five
employees and normal increases. Equipment expenses increased by $45,000 due to
depreciation and maintenance of equipment purchased for the implementation of
check imaging. The remainder of the increase in other expenses includes $165,000
in one-time merger expenses in operating expenses.
Income tax expense increased by $177,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999. The effective tax rate
for the three month period was 40%, compared to 31% for the same period in 1999.
This increase reflects non-deductible merger expenses incurred in the first
quarter related to the merger of GB&T Bancshares and UB&T Financial Services
Corporation.
Net income increased by $118,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
compared to the same period in 1999. The increase in net income is attributable
to growth in interest earning assets.
The Company is not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties,
other than the effect of events as described above, that will have or that are
reasonably likely to have a material effect on its liquidity, capital resources
or operations. The Company is also not aware of any current recommendations by
the regulatory authorities which, if they were implemented, would have such an
effect.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
GB&T Bancshares's net interest income and the fair value of its financial
instruments (interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities) are
influenced by changes in market interest rates. GB&T actively manages its
exposure to interest rate fluctuations through policies established by its
Asset/Liability Management Committee (the "ALCO"). The ALCO meets regularly and
is responsible for approving asset/liability management policies, developing and
implementing strategies to improve balance sheet positioning and net interest
income, and assessing the interest rate sensitivity of the Banks.
