Note 1.   Basis of Presentation

     The financial information included herein is unaudited; however,
such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.

     The results of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

Note 2.  Adoption of New Accounting Principle

     On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard "SFAS" No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for the
Impairment of a Loan."  SFAS No. 114 generally requires impaired
loans to be measured on the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, at the
loan's observable market price or at the fair value of the collateral
if the loan is collateral dependent.  A loan is impaired when it
is probable the creditor will be unable to collect all contractual
principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms of
the loan agreement. The adoption of SFAS 114 did not have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

BUTTON GWINNETT FINANCIAL CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's financial
position and operating results during the periods included in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Financial Condition

As of September 30, 1995, the Company experienced an increase in
total assets of 27.43%, as compared to December 31, 1994.  Total
loans increased $15,421,401 during this period or approximately
17.98%. Deposits increased $33,118,818 or 29.82% during this period.
The increases in total assets, loans and deposits are attributed to
the improvement in the stability of the local economy, as well as the
addition of three commercial officers to the staff.

Liquidity

As of September 30, 1995, the liquidity rate was 36.12%, which
management considers to be adequate to meet the Company's funding
needs.  Liquidity is measured by the ratio of net cash, short-term
and marketable securities to net deposits and short-term liabilities.

Capital

Banking regulations require the banks and bank holding companies to
maintain minimum capital ratios to assets.  At September 30, 1995,
the Company's capital ratios on a combined basis exceeded the required
ratios as follows:

                                  Regulatory
                        Actual         Requirement

  Leverage capital ratio                 9.88%             4.00%
  Risk based capital ratios:
  Core capital                          13.50%             4.00%
  Total capital                         14.75%             8.00%


BUTTON GWINNETT FINANCIAL CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
increased 32.09% to $6,546,932 over the $4,956,430 for the same period
in 1994. Interest income for the nine month period increased $2,905,673
or 40.81%, while interest expense increased $1,315,171 or 60.81%.  The
interest income increase was due to the significant increase in
commercial loans that were produced by the commercial officers.
The increase in interest expense is attributed to the increase in
new interest bearing deposit accounts that have been opened as a
result of the calling efforts of the commercial officers.

Management increased the provision for loan losses during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 to $450,000 as compared to $120,000 for
the same period in 1994, primarily due to the increase in the amount of
total loans outstanding.  Based on management's assessment of the
economic environment and prior charge-off and collection history, the
reserve for loan loss is considered adequate to absorb future losses
inherent in the portfolio.

Total other income decreased approximately $14,899 or 2.25% to $647,471
as compared to $662,370 for the same period 1994. The increase in
service charge is a result of increase in volume primarily from
commercial checking accounts, which are subject to analysis charges. 
The decrease in other income is due to the reduction in rental income
earned on other real estate during the same period in 1994.  There was
also a decrease in the amount of origination fees earned during the same
period in 1994.

Total other expenses increased to $3,109,278 or 7.54% over the
$2,891,257 during the nine months ended September 30, 1994. The increase
in salaries and employee benefits was due to an addition of
approximately nine employees to the staff over the same period in 1994. 
Occupancy and equipment expense decreased due to the closing of a branch
office, of which rental expense was incurred during 1994.

Net income increased for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995
by $640,582 as compared to the same period in 1994.  The increase is
attributed to more efficient operations of the bank, improvement in the
local economy and the increase in deposit and loan relationships.


The Company is not aware of any 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.
