                   SOUTHWEST GEORGIA FINANCIAL CORPORATION

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do
not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation
of financial position, results of operations, and changes in financial
position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  The
interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for
the interim periods presented.














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


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements
of customers who may be either depositors wanting to withdraw their funds or
borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet
their credit needs.  In the ordinary course of business,  Southwest Georgia
Financial Corporation's (the "Company") cash flows are generated from interest
and fee income as well as from loan repayments and the maturity or sale of
other earning assets.  In addition, liquidity is continuously provided through
the acquisition of new deposits and borrowings or the rollover of maturing
deposits and borrowings.  The Company strives to maintain an adequate
liquidity position by managing the balances and maturities of interest-earning
assets and interest-earning liabilities so that the balance it has in
short-term investments at any given time will adequately cover any reasonably
anticipated immediate need for funds.  Additionally, the subsidiary Southwest
Georgia Bank (the "Bank") maintains relationships with correspondent banks
which could provide funds to it on short notice, if needed.




                                 -7-
<PAGE>
The liquidity and capital resources of the Company are monitored on a periodic
basis by state and Federal regulatory authorities.  As determined under
guidelines established by these regulatory authorities, the Bank's liquidity
ratios at September 30, 2000, were considered satisfactory.  At that date, the
Bank's short-term investments were adequate to cover any reasonably anticipated
immediate need for funds.  The Company is aware of no events or trends likely
to result in a material change in liquidity.  At September 30, 2000, the
Company's and the Bank's risk-based capital  ratios were considered adequate
based on guidelines  established by regulatory authorities.  During the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, total capital increased $843 thousand to
$30.5 million.  Also, the Company continues to maintain a healthy level of
capital adequacy as measured by its equity-to-asset ratio of 12.66 percent as
of September 30, 2000.  The Company is aware of no events or trends likely to
result in a material change in capital resources other than normal operations
resulting in the retention of net earnings and paying dividends to
shareholders.  Also, the Company's management is not aware of any current
recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were to be
implemented, would have a material effect on the Company's capital resources.


Acquisition

In January 2000, the Company acquired the Dillard Insurance Agency located in
Moultrie, Georgia.  The insurance agency was merged into Southwest Georgia
Insurance Services, Inc., which is a subsidiary of Southwest Georgia Bank.
Also in February 2000, the Company acquired Financial Planning Concepts, Inc.,
a personal financial planning and investment services firm located in Moultrie,
Georgia.  This acquired firm was merged into the Trust and Investment Division
of Southwest Georgia Bank.

In January of this year, the Company announced a share repurchase program where
it may repurchase up to 150,000 shares, or approximately 6%, of its common
stock from time to time through January 31, 2001.  The Board of Directors
approved this common stock repurchase program in view of the strong capital
position of Southwest Georgia Financial Corporation and its subsidiary,
Southwest Georgia Bank.  As of September 30, 2000, the Company has repurchased
91 thousand shares at an average price of $15.58 per share.

In May of 2000, Southwest Georgia Financial Corporation acquired ownership of
the Harrell Insurance Agency which is located in Camilla, Georgia.  The agency
was merged into Southwest Georgia Insurance Services which is a division of
Southwest Georgia Bank. The insurance division operates an office in Colquitt
County d/b/a Moultrie Insurance Agency.


Results of Operations

The Company's results of operations are determined by its ability to
effectively manage interest income and expense, to minimize loan and
investment losses, to generate noninterest income, and to control noninterest
expense.  Since interest rates are determined by market forces and economic
conditions beyond the control of the Company, the ability to generate net
interest income is dependent upon the Bank's ability to obtain an adequate
spread between the rate earned on interest-earning assets and the rate paid
on interest-bearing liabilities.  Thus, the key performance measure for net
interest income is the interest margin or net yield, which is
taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets.

                                 -8-
<PAGE>
Comparison of Statements of Income

The Company's net income after taxes for the three month period ending
September 30, 2000, was $834 thousand compared to $929 thousand for the same
period in 1999, representing a decrease of $95 thousand or 10.3 percent.  For
the first nine months of 2000, the Company earned a net income of $2.601
million or $ 1.00 per share compared to $2.848 million or $ 1.09 per share
in 1999.  The company's third quarter earnings were lower than the same period
in 1999 mainly due to an expected increase in interest expense on deposits and
short-term borrowings partially offset by an increase in interest income and
fees on loans.

Total interest income increased $361 thousand comparing the three months ended
September 30, 2000 to the same period in 1999.  For the first nine months of
2000, total interest income increased $210 thousand comparing the same period
in 1999.  The majority of the increase in interest income for the first nine
months of 2000 occurred in interest and dividends on investment securities
partially offset by a decrease in interest on deposits with banks.  Increases
in interest from securities are related to the growth in average volume of
investment securities.  Decreases in interest on deposits with banks are
related to a decline in the average volume of interest bearing deposits with
banks.

The total interest expense increased $440 thousand or 26.9 percent in the
third quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.  The total interest
expense for the nine month period ending September 30, 2000, increased $583
thousand or 11.4 percent compared to the same period in 1999. Over this
period, the average balances on interest-bearing deposits declined $155
thousand or less than 1.0 percent.  The increase in interest expense is
primarily related to increases in the rate on interest-bearing deposits.  The
rate on time deposits increased 50 basis points while the rate on savings
deposits increased 26 basis points comparing the first nine months of 2000 to
the same period in 1999.

The primary source of revenue for the Company is net interest income, which is
the difference between total interest income on earning assets and interest
expense on interest-bearing sources of funds.  Net interest income for the
third quarter of 2000 decreased $79 thousand, or 2.9 percent, compared to the
same period in 1999.  Net interest income for the first nine months of 2000
was $8.015 million compared to $8.388 million for the same period in 1999.
Net interest income for the quarter and the nine month period is determined
primarily by the volume of earning assets and the various rate spreads between
these assets and their funding sources.  The Company's net interest margin was
5.17 percent and 5.57 percent during the three months ended September 30, 2000
and 1999 and was 5.32 percent and 5.58 percent during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999.

Other income increased $19 thousand, or 3.3 percent, for the three months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period a year ago.  The majority
of this increase was primarily attributable to increases in security sales
commission and other fees partially offset by decreases in income from the
service charges on deposit accounts and net gain on sale of assets.  Other
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, decreased $67 thousand
compared to the same period in 1999.  The majority, or $167 thousand of the
decrease was due to expenses related to foreclosed real estate property and
$75 thousand was attributable to decreases in income from insurance services
partially offset by increases in security sales commission and other fees.

                                 -9-
<PAGE>
Total other expenses increased $124 thousand, or 6.2 percent, for the three
months ended September 30, 2000, and other expenses increased $59 thousand
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to the same periods
in 1999.  The majority of the increase in other expense for both the quarter
and year-to-date  periods is attributed to expenses related to the operations
of foreclosed real estate property and to merger and acquisition costs
associated with the insurance agency and the securities sales  area
operations.  Other increases in noninterest expense compared to the same
period a year ago occurred in the normal course of operations.  Management
will continue to monitor expenses closely in an effort to achieve all cost
efficiencies available.






Comparison of Financial Condition Statements

During the first nine months of 2000, total assets increased $17.8 million, or
nearly 8.0 percent, over December 31, 1999, and increased $20.9 million, or
9.5 percent, over September 30, 1999.

The Company's loan portfolio of $122.2 million increased 10.5 percent from the
December 31, 1999, level of $110.6 million.  Loans, the major use of funds,
represent 50.7 percent of total assets.

Investment securities and other short-term investments represent 42.2 percent
of total assets.  Investment securities decreased $1.5 million since
December 31, 1999.  Other short-term investments increased $8.1 million since
December 31, 1999.  This resulted in an overall increase in investments of
$6.6 million.

Deposits, the primary source of the Company's funds, increased from $182.1
million at December 31, 1999, to $194.9 million at September 30, 2000, an
increase of 7.03 percent.  Deposits growth occurred primarily in money market
accounts and time deposits partially offset by a decrease in savings accounts.
At September 30, 2000, total deposits represented 80.9 percent of total assets.


The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for potential losses in the
loan portfolio.  The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated
monthly based on a review of all significant loans, with a particular emphasis
on nonaccruing, past due, and other loans that management believes require
attention.  Other factors used in determining the adequacy of the reserve are
management's judgment about factors affecting loan quality and management's
assumptions about the local and national economy.  The allowance for loan
losses was 1.50 percent of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2000,
compared to 1.76 percent of loans outstanding at December 31, 1999.
Management considers the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2000,
adequate to cover potential losses in the loan portfolio.
