NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
  have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
  accounting principles for interim financial information
  and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
  Regulation S-X.  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 recurring accruals)
  considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
  included.  Operating results for the interim periods are
  not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
  expected for the full year or any other interim period.
  Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts
  previously presented to conform with current period
  presentations.  For further information, refer to the
  consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
  included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
  the year ended December 31, 1993.

2.MERGER
  
  On February 28, 1994, First National Bancorp ("the
  Company") acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
  Metro Bancorp, Inc., ("Metro") the parent company of the
  $139.898 million asset The Commercial Bank, Douglasville,
  located in Douglas County, Georgia. The Company issued
  266,414 shares of its common stock and $250,243 in cash
  in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Metro.
  This transaction was accounted for as a purchase, and
  therefore is not included in Company's results of
  operations or statements of financial position prior to
  the date of acquisition.
  
  The pro forma impact on the Company's results of
  operations for the three month period ended March 31,
  1994, had the purchase transaction described above been
  consummated as of January 1, 1994, would have been:

  The $2.897 million net loss reported by Metro includes a

  subsidiary bank prior to the merger.
  
3. PENDING ACQUISITION

  On March 15, 1994, officials of Company and Barrow
  Bankshares, Inc., ("Barrow"), whose wholly-owned
  subsidiary is Barrow Bank & Trust Company, located in
  Barrow County, Georgia, signed an Agreement of
  Reorganization and Plan of Merger ("Agreement").  Under
  the terms of the Agreement, the Company will, after
  satisfaction of all legal and regulatory requirements by
  both parties, exchange 1.37 shares of its common stock
  for eack share of the 379,682 shares of Barrow stock
  outstanding.  No cash, except for fractional shares, will
  be offered in the transaction, which will be accounted
  for as a pooling-of-interests.  The merger is subject to
  approval by Barrow shareholders and various regulatory
  authorities.  As of March 31, 1994, total consolidated
  assets and equity of Barrow and its subsidiary bank were
  $54.973 million and $5.413 million, respectively.  After
  the merger and reorganization, Barrow Bank & Trust
  Company will become the Company's seventeenth affiliate
  bank.

4.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
  
  During the first quarter of 1993, the Company adopted the
  provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
  No. 106 ("FAS 106"), "Employers' Accounting for Post-
  Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions."   Under FAS
  106, accrual accounting is required for retiree medical
  and life insurance benefits beginning in 1993.  The
  Company elected to amortize the accumulated benefit
  obligation at January 1, 1993, of $2.6 million against
  earnings over a twenty year period. The net periodic
  expense charged against earnings was calculated to be
  $170,495 and $92,941 for the quarters ending March 31,
  1994 and 1993, respectively.

5.   INCOME TAXES

  During the first quarter of 1993, the Company adopted the
  provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
  No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes."  Under
  FAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
  established for temporary differences between the
  financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the
  Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates
  expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized
  or settled. The Company elected to adopt FAS 109 as of
  January 1, 1993 as a cumulative effect of a change in
  accounting principle and did not restate any prior
  periods.  The cumulative effect of this change in
  accounting for income taxes is reported separately in the
  income statement for the three months ended March 31,
  1993.
  
6.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  During May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
  ("FASB") issued FAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
  Impairment of a Loan" and FAS 115, "Accounting for
  Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".

  FAS 114 requires impaired loans to be measured based on
  the present value of expected future cash flows,
  discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at
  the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of
  the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent,
  beginning in 1995. FAS 114 may be adopted prior to 1995.
  The Company has not yet determined the actual impact of
  FAS 114 on its financial statements or made a
  determination of whether it will adopt FAS 114 prior to
  1995.

  FAS 115 requires investments to be classified in three
  categories; held-to-maturity securities (reported at
  amortized cost), trading securities (reported at fair
  value) and available-for-sale securities (reported at
  fair value). Unrealized gains or losses on trading
  securities are included in earnings. Unrealized gains or
  losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from
  earnings and reported in a separate component of
  shareholders' equity. FAS 115 is effective beginning in
  1994, but can be adopted as of December 31, 1993. The
  Company has adopted FAS 115 as of December 31, 1993, and
  the net valuation allowance impact to the Company's
  equity was a $1.590 million loss at March 31, 1994 and a
  $3.267 million gain at December 31, 1993.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

In the first quarter of 1994, the Company reported net
income of $6.283 million, an increase of $.283 million, or
4.71% from the $6.000 million in the first quarter of 1993.
Earnings per share in the first quarter of 1994 were $.40,
compared with $.39 in the first quarter of 1993, an increase
of 2.56%.  Weighted average shares outstanding for the first
three months of 1994 increased to 15,677,131, compared with
15,304,193 in the first three months of 1993.

Fully-taxable equivalent net interest income for the quarter
increased to $23.109 million in the first three months of
1994, compared with $21,646 million in the first three
months of 1993.  Net interest margin for the quarter was
4.81%, down slightly from 4.85% reported for the first
quarter of 1993.  The provision for loan losses totaled
$.356 million compared to $1.115 million for the first
quarter of 1993, a result of management's continued effort
to make asset quality a top priority.  Noninterest income
decreased 5.66%, from $7.243 million in 1993 to $6.833
million in 1994, with the most significant decrease coming
from lower mortgage loan and other related fees, a decrease
of $1.239 million. Noninterest expense increased 7.42%  from
$18.535 million to $19.910 million.  The increase in
noninterest expense between the first quarter of 1994 and
first quarter of 1993 was attributable to an increase in
employee related expenses of $.669 million between periods,
with $.221 million of the increase related to the
acquisition of Metro.

Management expects overall earnings performance to continue
improving during the second quarter.  This is based on the
Company's analysis of recent acquisitions, expansions into
new markets and the anticipated growth of these markets.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income, the principal source of earnings, is
the amount by which interest and fees generated by interest-
earning assets, including loans, investment securities and
money market assets, exceed the interest costs of deposits
and borrowed funds.  Net interest income is affected by a
number of factors including the volume and type of earning
assets and liabilities, interest rate fluctuations and asset
quality.  For comparative purposes in the accompanying
narrative, net interest income has been adjusted to reflect
tax-exempt income, such as interest on municipal securities
and tax-exempt loans, on a fully taxable equivalent basis.

The increase in fully taxable equivalent net interest income
was attributable to the 7.93% growth in average earning
assets from $1.812 billion at March 31, 1993, to $1.950
billion reported at March 31, 1994. The earnings effect of
this growth in earning assets was slowed somewhat by the
decrease in the net interest margin to 4.81%, from 4.85%
reported for the first quarter of 1993.  The growth of
average core earning assets was due to acquisition of Metro,
an increase in retail loans of $52 million and commercial
loans of $20 million.  Average incremental assets were up
5.57% as the $7.848 million decrease in average mortgage
loans held for sale was offset by an increase in securities
of $46.375 million. Average interest-bearing liabilities
increased 6.45%, from $1.523 billion in the first quarter of
1993 to $1.621 billion in first quarter of 1994.  Average
demand deposits rose to $255 million, up 11.40% from the
prior year.

Management anticipates a modest improvement in net interest
income during the second quarter of 1994 and throughout the
rest of 1994.  With the recent increase in rates by the
Federal Reserve Bank, management believes there may be some
easing of margin pressure, although temporary, when compared
to previous quarters.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Total noninterest income decreased 5.66% to $6.833 million
for the first quarter of 1994, from $7.243 million for the
first quarter of 1993.  The decrease in noninterest income
was due primarily to lower mortgage loan servicing and other
related fees, which decreased $1.239 million between the
first quarters of 1994 and 1993, or a 46.85% decline.  This
is due primarily to the decrease in the average servicing
portfolio levels and the slowing down of refinancing
activity, when compared to levels seen during the first
quarter of 1993.  Gain on sales of mortgage loan servicing
rights decreased, from $1.367 million during the first
quarter of 1993, compared to $1.230 million for the first
quarter of 1994, or 11.14%.  Additional income was
recognized in the first quarter of 1994, due to the sale of
refinanced mortgages, which existed on the Company's books
at December 31, 1993.

Gains on sales of securities were $.164 million in first
quarter 1994, down from the $.365 million reported for the
first quarter of 1993, a decrease of 55.17%.

                                       -10-
<PAGE>     11

The Company anticipates future decreases in mortgage
refinancing activity, as mortgage rates begin to rise from
record levels seen in the past few years.  Initiatives begun
in 1993, relating to mutual funds and annuities sales are
expected to increase the opportunities for noninterest
income development.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES

Total noninterest expense amounted to $19.910 in the first
quarter of 1994 compared to $18.535 million in 1993, or
7.42%.  The Company's effeciency ratio increased slightly
from 64.98% for the first quarter of 1993 to 66.86% for the
first quarter of 1994.

For the current quarter, personnel related expenses
increased $.669 million, over the $9.852 million in the
first quarter of 1993.  Approximately 30% of the increase
over 1993 is related to the addition of Metro's payroll,
which are not reflected in 1993 expenses, but are included
in first quarter 1994 expenses.  Excluding the affects of
Metro, personnel related expensed had a modest increase of
approximately 4.72%.

During the first half of 1993, the Company converted to a
new data processing system serviced by an outside data
processing company.  While overall effeciencies have been
obtained with the new system, modest increases in
depreciation and telephone expenses were expected with the
conversion.  The Company will continue to see slight
increases in these catagories throughout the rest of 1994.

                                       -11-

The Company's efficiency ratio (noninterest expense as a
percentage of total net interest income, adjusted on a fully-
taxable equivelent basis, and excluding securities gains or
losses) increased from 64.98% at the end of the first
quarter of 1993, to 66.86% at the end of the first quarter
1994.  While the effeciency ratio increased through the
final three quarters of 1993, the Company has a longer term
objective of reducing this ratio to the lower 60% range over
the next four-to-six quarters.

ASSET QUALITY

The most significant risk of loss in a financial institution
is from its loan portfolio.  The Company manages it loan
portfolio to limit risk through initial review of credit
applications, approval of loans by experienced and trained
personnel, loan documentation and compliance procedures.
The Company's loan portfolio is well diversified with no
excessive concentration in any one industry.

In accordance with regulatory standards, loans are placed in
nonaccrual status when they reach a prescribed delinquency
stage, generally when payments are 90 days past due or when
other events occur which make the collection of all
principal and interest owing on the loan questionable.

Nonperforming loans, which include nonaccrual loans and
renegotiated loans totaled $24.178 million, or 1.84% of
loans at March 31, 1994, compared with $30.405 million, or
1.73% at December 31, 1993, and with $23.388 million, or
2.04% at March 31, 1993.   Nonperforming assets, which is
made up of nonperforming loans, plus other real estate
acquired in forclosures (OREO), totaled $36.015 million, or
2.71% of loans, plus OREO at March 31, 1994, compared to
$30.405 million, or 2.50% at December 31, 1993, and with
$33.871 million, or 2.92% at March 31, 1993.

As in previous quarters, management will be monitoring asset
quality levels closely and expects to see improvements
through the rest of 1994.

The Company has had significant success in maintaining solid
asset quality over the last five quarters.  The significant
increase in nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets
during the first quarter of 1994, when compared to previous
quarters, is primarily the result of the acquisition of
Metro and the inclusion of Metro's $6.8 million
nonperforming loans and $10.1 million nonperforming assets.
Excluding the impact of Metro, the Company's nonperforming
assets decreased $6.432 million between March 31, 1993 and
March 31, 1994, with a majority of the decrease, $4.723
million, occuring between December 31, 1993 and March 31,
1994.  The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and other
real estate, excluding the impact of Metro, would be 2.00%,
2.43% and 2.70% for the periods ended March 31, 1994,
December 31, 1993 and March 31, 1993, respectively.
Management continues to place emphasis in asset quality
procedures and training and anticipates additional
improvements will be recognized in the second quarter and
thoughout the rest of 1994.

ALLOWANCE AND PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

In the first quarter of 1994, the provision for loan losses
amounted to $.356 million, compared to $1.115 million in the
first quarter of 1993.  The reduction in the level of
provision expense was warrented by the improvement in asset
quality since first quarter 1993.  Activity in the allowance
for loan losses, including the contribution from the
acquisition of Douglasville in the first quarter, is shown
in the following table.

</TABLE>

During the first quarter of 1994, a significant recovery on
loans charged-off was recognized.  In addition, previous
emphasis by management in the area of asset quality has
resulted in an unusually low charge-off ratio for the
quarter.  Management anticipates the charge-off ratio will
return to a modest mid-to-upper 30% range during the rest of
1994.

EARNING ASSETS

Total average earning assets for the first quarter of 1994,
were $1.950 billion, up 7.63% from the $1.812 billion during
first quarter of 1993, and up 7.96% from the $1.910 billion
during fourth quarter of 1993.  Earning assets have
consistently accounted for over 90% of total assets.
Earning assets accounted for 91.81% of assets at March 31,
1994, 91.49% at December 31, 1993, and 92.72% at March 31,
1993.

Management classifies earning assets into two categories,
core and incremental.  Core earning assets are defined as
loans relative to the business of banking, while incremental
earning assets are all other earning assets, including loans
held-for-sale, investments, and interest-bearing deposits
with other financial institutions.

During the first quarter of 1994, incremental earning assets
increased $40.372 million.  This increase was due primarily
to increases in investments, with agencies up $39.711
million and treasuries up $16.269 million.  These increases
were partially offset by a decrease in mortgage loans held-
for-sale of $25.778 million.  The decrease in mortgage loans
held-for-sale can be attributed to lower loan production and
decreasing refinancing activity, which are the result of
recent  increases in mortgage loan rates.  While there may
be continued changes within catagories of earning assets,
management expects no material changes in overall core or
incremental assets during the second quarter of 1994.

FUNDING SOURCES

Total average deposits and other funding sources for the
quarter ending March 31, 1994, were $1.621 billion, up 6.45%
from the $1.522 billion during the first quarter ending
March 31, 1993, and up 3.02% from the $1.574 billion during
the fourth quarter ending December 31, 1993.

Similar to earning assets, management classifies funding
sources into core and incremental categories.  Core funding
sources are primarily deposits held, including demand
deposits, but excluding CD's greater than $100,000.
Incremental funds are defined as all other funding sources,
including federal funds purchased and other borrowings.

Deposits remained relatively unchanged between periods, when
taking into account the increase attributed to Metro
deposits.  However, incremental funds increased between
first quarter 1994 and first quarter of 1993, primarily the
result of an increase of $38.455 million in certificates of
deposit over $100,000 and an increase in long-term debt of
$55.491 million, offset by a decrease in federal funds
purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
of $6.972 million

Federal funds sold, interest-bearing deposits with financial
institutions, and shorter term U.S. Treasuries and U.S.
Government agencies are held primarily for liquidity
purposes while mortgage-backed securities are held for
income purposes.  The mortgage-backed security distribution
between adjustable and fixed rate securities is determined
by interest rate sensitivity requirements.  Management
anticipates no material change in the portfolio distribution
in the second quarter based on the current interest rate
environment.

The Company has the intention and ability to hold investment
securities until their maturity date (classified as
securities held-to-maturity).  However, periodically various
factors may dictate that it would be in the best interest of
the Company to restructure the portfolio or a part of the
portfolio to meet changing economic conditions, satisfy
internal policy constraints in liquidity, rate sensitivity,
safety and soundness or maintain risk-based capital
requirements.  During the first quarter of 1994, the Company
did not sell any securities classified as investment
securities held-to-maturity.  Management does not anticipate
any significant security sales for the second quarter.  As
of March 31, 1994, $306.934 million of investment securities
were pledged to secure public funds on deposit and
securities sold under repurchase agreements, and for other
purposes as required by various statutes or agreements.

The following table presents the current distribution of the
total investments by expected maturity and average yields
(for all obligations on a fully taxable equivalent basis
assuming a 35% tax rate) at March 31, 1994.  Expected
maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to
call and prepayment options.

</TABLE>

Rate sensitivity is defined as the exposure to variability
in net interest income resulting from changes in market
based interest rates.  It is the Company's  philosophy to
protect net interest income through a controlled assumption
of interest rate risk for profit, against unexpected changes
in interest rates.  This is accomplished through an
appropriate balance between interest sensitive assets and
interest sensitive liabilities at each affiliate and on a
consolidated basis.  The Company measures and manages
interest rate risk through the following methods: net
interest income variance to the Company's business and
financial plan, Beta adjusted gap analysis and net income
variance through simulation analysis.

In terms of net interest income variance to the financial
plan, the acceptable level of risk is defined as a maximum
2% annualized net interest income variance due to a shift in
interest rates from plan projections, with such rate shift
based on management's best estimation of the potential
maximum and gradual change in rates (higher or lower)
relative to plan.  As of March 31, 1994, the Company's
balance sheet was structured to attain compliance with this
standard.

The Beta adjusted gap analysis gives recognition and
appropriate adjustment to the contractual gap position to
administered and market rate assets and liabilities that are
not likely to change in rate to the same degree of a change
in market rates.  Generally, liabilities such as regular
savings, insured money market accounts, now accounts and
super now checking accounts would fit into this category.
Earning assets subject to applicable rate caps and floors,
fixed rate securities subject to anticipated prepayments and
yield changes are also adjusted accordingly in the Beta gap
calculations.  In management's opinion, the Beta adjusted
gap profile as of March 31, 1994, meets the Company's
objectives.  Management anticipates no major shifts in the
Beta adjusted gap profiles.

Simulation analysis measures the annualized impact to net
income due to an immediate and parallel shift in interest
rates.  The Company's standard, in varying rate shock
environments, is as follows:

               -200 Basis points                        3.50%

</TABLE>

Simulation analysis performed on the Company's balance sheet
indicates, as of March 31, 1994, that the Company is in
compliance with these standards.  Management anticipates no
significant changes in this profile for the second quarter
of 1994.

LIQUIDITY

The Company measures and manages the consolidated liquidity
position based on core funding and incremental funding
objectives.  It is the Company's target policy for core
funding to equal at least 100% of core earning assets, with
the minimum acceptable level being 90%.  As of March 31,
1994, the core funding to core assets ratio equaled 111.66%
down from the 115.63% and 118.27% reported at December 31,
1993 and March 31, 1993, respectively.  These percentages
are well above the Company's minimum tolerance.  Management
anticipates that the core funding ratio will remain above
the 100% mark during the second quarter of 1994.

                                       -20-

<PAGE>     21

It is also the Company's target policy for incremental funds
to total deposits and funds not to exceed 40%.  As of March
31, 1994, this ratio equaled 26.23%, up from the 25.16%
reported as of December 31, 1993 and 23.13% as of March 31,
1993, and continues to be well below the Company's maximum
tolerance.  Through its lead affiliate bank, the Company
maintains upstream overnight federal funds lines of credit
of $70.0 million.  These lines are occasionally used to fund
peak balances in mortgage loans held for sale.  In June
1992, the parent Company secured a revolving line of credit
totaling $3.0 million.  Management knows of no demands,
commitments or events that will result in or, that are
likely to result in, the Company's liquidity increasing or
decreasing in any material way.

</TABLE>

It is the Company's risk management policy to maintain a
capital base sufficient to support anticipated asset growth,
merger activity and management's estimation of longer term
earnings risk.  Capital standards assume that the Company's
risk profiles in liquidity, rate sensitivity and asset
quality are in line with internal risk management
objectives.  The Company's risk-based capital position is
well in excess of minimum regulatory standards.
Consequently, management anticipates no change in asset
allocation strategies to complement risk-based capital
requirements.  Additionally, the Company's leverage capital
position is well in excess of the new regulatory
requirements.  Management anticipates that risk-based and
leverage ratios will remain well above minimum regulatory
standards.

The Company has met all of its capital requirements through
retained earnings while steadily increasing regulatory and
internally defined capital ratio objectives.  The following

</TABLE>

The internal growth rate increased due to the increase in
the return on average equity for the comparative period
which more than offset the effects of  the increase in the
percentage amount of earnings which were declared for
payment of cash dividends to shareholders.  The cash
dividend declared for the first quarter of 1994 was $.19
compared to $.1725 for the first quarter of 1993, an
increase of 10.14%.  Management is of the opinion that,
given the Company's dividend policy, asset growth can be
funded internally while maintaining the integrity of the
Company's capital positions.
