Impaired loans are primarily defined as all nonaccruing loans for the
loan categories which are included within the scope of SFAS 114.
Nonaccruing loans at June 30, 1997 were $1.9 million compared to $3.0
million at December 31, 1996.

The Company recognizes income on nonaccrual loans primarily on the
cash basis.  Any change in the present value of expected cash flows on
impaired loans is recognized through the allowance for loan losses.

(6)  ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective January 1, 1997, Capital City Bank Group adopted SFAS No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities."  This Statement establishes new rules
for determining whether a transfer of financial assets constitutes a
sale and, if so, the determination of any resulting gain or loss.
This Statement requires that an enterprise recognize only assets it
controls and liabilities it has incurred, to remove assets only when
control has been surrendered, and to remove liabilities only when they
have been extinguished. The adoption of the statement did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share" which, when adopted, will replace the current methodology
for calculating and presenting earnings per share.  Under SFAS No.
128, primary earnings per share will be replaced with a presentation
of basic earnings per share and fully diluted earnings per share will
be replaced with diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share
excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed
similarly to fully diluted earnings per share.  The Statement will be
effective for the Company's December 31, 1997 financial statements and
is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

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

The following discussion sets forth the major factors that have
affected the Company's financial condition and results of operations
and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial
statements.  All prior period share and per share data have been
adjusted to reflect a 2-for-1 stock split effective April 1, 1997.
The year-to-date averages used in this report are based on daily
balances for each respective period.

On July 1, 1996, the Company completed its acquisition of First
Financial Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Federal
Bank (collectively referred to as "First Financial").  The acquisition
was accounted for as a purchase.  Financial comparisons to prior year
periods are not necessarily comparable due to the impact of the
acquisition.

                        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

Net income was $3.3 million, or $.56 per share for the second quarter
of 1997, a per share increase of 16.7% over the $2.8 million, or $.48
per share for the comparable period in 1996.  Net income was $6.3
million, or $1.09 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1997, a
per share increase of 17.2% over the $5.3 million, or $.93 per share
for comparable period in 1996.  Operating revenue, which includes net
interest income and noninterest income, increased $6.5 million, or
25.1%, over the first half of 1996, and was the most significant
factor contributing to the increase in earnings.

Net Interest Income

Second quarter taxable equivalent net interest income increased $2.2
million, or 23.2%, over the comparable quarter in 1996.  Taxable
equivalent net interest income for the first half of 1997 increased
$4.5 million, or 23.6%, over the first half of 1996. The increase in
both periods is attributable to a higher level of earning assets and
growth in the loan portfolio.  The acquisition of First Financial
contributed significantly to the Company's loan growth and higher net
interest income.  Table I on page 13 provides a comparative analysis
of the Company's average balances and interest rates.

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, taxable-
equivalent interest income increased $4.7 million, or 32.4%, and $9.0
million, or 30.8%, respectively, over the comparable prior year
periods.  Interest income for both periods has increased due to growth
in loan portfolio.  Loans during the first half of 1997 averaged
$683.0 million, representing an increase of $224.4 million, or 48.9%,
over the comparable period in 1996, and loans as a percent of average
earning assets increased to 75.9% from 65.1%.  This favorable shift in
the mix of earning assets led to a 23 basis point increase in the
yield on earning assets which rose from 8.32% during the first six
months of 1996 to 8.55% for the comparable period in 1997.

Interest expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1997, increased $2.5 million, or 50.6%, and $4.5 million, or 44.6%,
respectively, over the comparable prior year periods.  The increase in
both periods is due to higher levels of interest bearing deposits and
a shift in deposit mix.  Average deposits through the first half of
1997 increased $167.8 million, or 24.9%, compared to the first half of
1996, reflecting the acquisition of First Financial.  Certificates of
deposit, which generally represent a higher cost of funds than other
deposit offerings, increased as a percent of average deposits from
37.8% in the first half of 1996 to 45.7% in 1997.  This shift in
deposit mix is attributable to the mix of deposits acquired from First
Financial, and led to a 33 basis point increase in the average rate
paid on interest bearing liabilities, which rose from 3.75% in the
first half of 1996 to 4.08% in 1997.

The Company's interest rate spread (defined as the average taxable
equivalent yield on earning assets less the average rate paid on
interest bearing liabilities) decreased from 4.57% in the first half
of 1996 to 4.46% in the comparable 1997 period, reflecting the higher
cost of funds.  The Company's net interest margin percentage (defined
as taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning
assets) decreased from 5.47% in the first half of 1996 to 5.31% in the
first half of 1997, reflecting both an increase in the cost of funds
and a higher level of earning assets funded with interest bearing
liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $446,000 and $902,000, respectively,
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, compared to
$262,000 and $523,000 for the comparable periods in 1996.  The
increase in the provision reflects the increase in the size of the
loan portfolio.  Net charge-offs, while up slightly from 1996, remain
at historically low levels relative to the size of the loan portfolio.
Nonperforming loans declined $1.1 million, or 36.6%, during the first
six months of 1997.  As compared to year-end, the reserve for loan
losses increased slightly to $8.4 million, and represented 1.19% of
total loans versus 1.22% as of December 31, 1996.  For a discussion of
the Company's nonperforming loans, see the section entitled "Financial
Condition."

Based on current economic conditions, the low level of nonperforming
loans and net charge-offs, it is management's opinion that the reserve
for loan losses as of June 30, 1997, is sufficient to provide for
losses inherent in the portfolio as of that date.

Charge-off activity for the respective periods is set forth below.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income increased $1.0 million, or 26.8%, in the second
quarter of 1997 versus the comparable quarter for 1996, and $1.9
million, or 26.0%, for the six months ended June 30, 1997 versus the
comparable period for 1996.  Although the acquisition of First
Financial positively impacted noninterest income, the increase is
principally attributable to the implementation of recommendations
resulting from a profit enhancement program conducted in the latter
half of 1995 and repricing of the Bank's service fees.  Additionally,
the sale of a piece of bank property during the second quarter of 1997
resulted in a $275,000 pre-tax gain.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $411,000, or 25.2%, and
$905,000, or 28.7%, respectively, over the comparable three and six
month periods for 1996.  The increase in both periods reflects an
increase in the bank service fees which went into effect on July 1,
1996.

Data processing revenues increased $92,000, or 10.9%, and $225,000, or
14.9%, respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods
in 1996.  The increase primarily reflects higher revenues associated
with processing for government agencies and third party banks.

Other income increased $526,000, or 48.0%, and $818,000 or 37.8%,
respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997
over the comparable prior year periods.  The increase is primarily
attributable to gains on the sale of real estate loans during the
first six months of 1997 totaling $335,000 and a $275,000 gain on the
sale of bank property, which was recognized in the second quarter.  In
addition, the repricing of service fees in July 1997, and new fee-
based products have contributed to the growth in other noninterest
income

Noninterest income as a percent of average assets was 1.88% for both
the first half of 1997 and 1996.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased $2.1 million, or 24.0%, and $4.1
million, or 23.5%, respectively, over the comparable three and six
month periods in 1996.  The comparison to the first half of 1996 is
substantially impacted by the acquisition of First Financial.  In a
linked quarter comparison, noninterest expense is up $177,000, or
1.6%, over the first quarter of 1997.

Compensation expense increased $1.1 million, or 24.1%, and $2.2
million, or 22.6%, respectively, over the comparable three and six
month periods of 1996, reflecting annual raises and an increase in
full-time equivalent employees of 55 attributable to the First
Financial acquisition.

Occupancy expense, including premises, furniture, fixtures and
equipment increased $334,000, or 21.1%, and $816,000, or 26.4%,
respectively, over the comparable three and six month periods in 1996.
The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of five new
offices through the First Financial acquisition.

Other noninterest expense increased $648,000, or 25.7%, and $1.2
million, or 23.6%, respectively, over the comparable three and six
month periods in 1996.  A significant portion of the increase reflects
operating expenses associated with the five new offices.
Additionally, advertising expense increased $261,000, or 93.6%, and
amortization of intangible assets increased $320,000, or 272%.

Annualized net noninterest expense (noninterest income minus
noninterest expense) as a percent of average assets was 2.52% in the
first half of 1997 versus 2.61% for the first half of 1996.  The
decrease in this percentage is attributable to the Company's growth
and higher levels of noninterest income.

The provision for income taxes increased $474,000, or 40.1%, during
the second quarter and $960,000, or 43.6%, during the first six months
of 1997, relative to the comparable prior year periods.  The increase
in the provision over the prior year is attributable to higher taxable
income.  The Company's effective tax rate for the first half of 1997
was 33.4% versus 29.2% for the comparable period in 1996.  The
increase in the effective tax rate is attributable to a decrease in
tax exempt income as a percent of taxable income in the first half of
1997 as compared to the first half of 1996.

                         FINANCIAL CONDITION

Average balances for the first half of 1997 reflect the acquisition of
First Financial which was consummated on July 1, 1996.  Table I on
Page 13 presents average balances for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

The Company's average assets increased to $999.9 million in the first
half of 1997 from $790.9 million in the first half of 1996.  Average
earning assets were $899.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997 versus $704.7 million for the comparable period in 1996.  The
most significant shift in the mix of earning assets occurred through
growth in the loan portfolio.  Average loans were up $224.4 million,
or 48.9%, over the comparable six month period in 1996.  The increase
in loans reflects the First Financial acquisition and a reduction in
the investment portfolio.

The investment portfolio is a significant component of the Company's
operations and, as such, it functions as a key element of liquidity
and asset/liability management.  Securities in the Available-for-Sale
portfolio are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses
associated with these securities are recorded, net of tax, as a
separate component of shareholders' equity.  At June 30, 1997,
shareholders' equity included a net unrealized gain of $231,000
compared to a net gain of $82,000 at December 31, 1996.  The increase
in value reflects a slight decline in interest rates which occurred
during the second quarter.

At June 30, 1997, the Company's nonperforming loans were $1.9 million
versus $3.0 million at year-end 1996.  As a percent of nonperforming
loans, the allowance for loan losses represented 442% at June 30, 1997
versus 276% at year-end 1996.  Nonperforming loans include nonaccruing
and restructured loans.  Other real estate, which includes property
acquired either through foreclosure or by receiving a deed in lieu of
foreclosure, was $2.0 million at June 30, 1997 versus $1.5 million at
December 31, 1996.  The ratio of nonperforming assets to loans plus
other real estate was .54% at June 30, 1997 compared to .66% at
December 31, 1996.

Average deposits increased to $841.3 million for the first half of
1997, from $673.5 million for the first half of 1996.  The growth in
deposits is attributable to the acquisition of First Financial.  At
the time of acquisition, certificates of deposit constituted 75% of
the acquired deposits.  As a result, the Company experienced a
significant shift in its deposit mix.  During the first half,
certificates of deposit represented 45.7% of total deposits compared
to 37.7% for the comparable prior year period. This shift in mix has
contributed to a compression in the Company's net interest margin
which averaged 5.31% in the first half of 1997 versus 5.47% in 1996.

The ratio of average noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits
was 21.7% for the first half of 1997 compared to 24.4% for the first
half of 1996. For the same periods, the ratio of average interest
bearing liabilities to average earning assets was 79.3% and 75.9%,
respectively.


                     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity, for a financial institution, is the availability of funds
to meet increased  loan demand and/or excessive deposit withdrawals.
Management has implemented a financial structure that provides ready
access to sufficient liquid funds to meet normal transaction
requirements, take advantage of investment opportunities and cover
unforeseen liquidity demands.  In addition to core deposit growth,
sources of funds available to meet liquidity demands for the
subsidiary banks include federal funds sold, near-term loan and
investment maturities, including the "Available-for-Sale" investment
portfolio, and the ability to purchase federal funds through
established lines of credit with correspondent banks.  Additionally,
the parent company maintains a $25 million revolving line of credit.
On July 1, the Company borrowed $15.0 million to fund the acquisition
of First Financial. During the first half of 1997, principal
reductions on the line of credit totaled $1.0 million. As of June 30,
1997, there was $14.0 million outstanding under this facility.

The Company's equity capital was $95.5 million as of June 30, 1997,
compared to $89.5 million as of December 31, 1996.  The Company's
management continues to monitor its capital position in relation to
its level of assets with the objective of maintaining a strong capital
position.  The leverage ratio was 8.41% at June 30, 1997 versus 7.87%
at December 31, 1996.  Further, the Company's risk-adjusted capital
ratio of 13.67% significantly exceeds the 8.0% minimum requirement
under the risk-based regulatory guidelines.

State and federal regulations as well as the Company's long-term debt
agreement place certain restrictions on the payment of dividends by
both the Company and its Group banks.  At June 30, 1997, these
regulations and covenants did not impair the Company's (or its Group
banks') ability to declare and pay dividends or to meet other existing
obligations.

During the first six months of 1997, shareholders' equity increased
$6.0 million, or 13.5%, on an annualized basis.  The net increase in
shareholders' equity reflects net income of $6.3 million, dividends of
$1.7 million, stock issuances of $1.3 million and an increase in the
Company's net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities of
$149,000.  Stock issuances totaling $1.3 million reflect 4,601 shares
issued under the Company's recently adopted Dividend Reinvestment and
Optional Stock Purchase Plan and 47,396 shares issued under other
various employee stock purchase and incentive plans.

The Company's common stock had a book value of $16.37 per share at
June 30, 1997 compared to $15.49 at December 31, 1996.  Pursuant to
the Company's stock repurchase program adopted in 1989, the Company
has repurchased 527,160 shares (split adjusted) of its common stock.
In the first half of 1997, there were no shares repurchased.

                  IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Effective January 1, 1997, Capital City Bank Group adopted SFAS No.
125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities."  This Statement establishes new rules
for determining whether a transfer of financial assets constitutes a
sale and, if so, the determination of any resulting gain or loss.
This Statement requires that an enterprise recognize only assets it
controls and liabilities it has incurred, to remove assets only when
control has been surrendered, and to remove liabilities only when they
have been extinguished.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" which, when adopted, will replace the
current methodology for calculating and presenting earnings per share.
The Statement will be effective for the Company's December 31, 1997
financial statements.
