and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(1)  Basis of Presentation

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of
Central and Southern Holding Company (the "Company") and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, The Central and Southern Bank of Georgia and The Central
and Southern Bank of Greensboro.  All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the
consolidated financial position and results of operations for the periods
covered herein and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report
on Form 10-K.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                              OF OPERATIONS 


FINANCIAL CONDITION

At the end of the first quarter 1996, total assets had declined $793,000
from December 31, 1995.  Total loans declined $563,000 from December 31,
1995. The loan decline is the result of the sales finance portfolio
maturing rolloff of $1.5 Million during the same time period. However,
increases in commercial and real estate loans helped offset the sales
finance rolloff during the period.

Total liabilities decreased $578,000 from year end 1995.  Short term
borrowings declined as the Company paid down $250,000 of a repurchase
agreement since year end 1995.  Noninterest bearing deposits were down
$1.3 Million by the end of the quarter due in part to the cyclical nature
of these deposits.

The Company paid a $.05 dividend on its common stock on March 31, 1996. 
The financial strength of the Company continues to improve along with the
ability to pay and possibly increase the dividend payout.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three-month period, the Company recorded net income of $742,000
as compared to $608,000 for the same period in 1995.  This net increase
is due primarily to the following:
Net interest income increased $99,000.
A negative provision for loan losses increased pretax income $100,000
over the comparable periods.
Total noninterest income increased $112,000.
Total noninterest expense declined $87,000.
The reasons for these changes are discussed below.


Net Interest Income
- -------------------

Net interest income remained relatively stable in comparing the like
periods.  However, average earning assets increased approximately $8
Million and interest-bearing liabilities averages increased approximately
$4 Million.  These increases represent increased loan volume and
increased interest-bearing accounts, mainly certificates of deposit.  The
net interest margin increased slightly over the comparable periods to
4.29% from 4.27%. 


Provision for Loan Losses
- -------------------------

The Company recorded a negative provision of $300,000 for the quarter. 
The Company had net recoveries during the quarter of $334,000 from prior
period charge offs, the majority of recoveries being  sales finance
loans. Management anticipates the net recovery situation will continue
due to the anticipated decline in charge offs and continued recoveries of
prior period charge offs.  Management will monitor and adjust the level
of the allowance for loan losses in relation to this net recovery stream
as well as the overall level of the allowance for loan losses to loans
outstanding.

     Nonperforming loans/Total loans         0.37%         0.71%        1.17%

     Nonperforming assets/Total              0.85%         0.67%        1.16%

     Loan loss allowance/Total loans         3.72%         3.67%        4.00%
     Loan loss allowance/Nonperforming    1015.38%       518.56%      340.95%
        loans

The table above illustrates the changes in the level of
nonperforming assets over the past quarters. Declining past due
loans and workouts of nonaccrual loans have contributed to the
improved condition.  The coverage ratios have improved
dramatically over the same periods.  Management anticipates
continued improvements in the levels of nonperforming loans and
assets. 


Noninterest Income
- ------------------

The Company's main source of noninterest income is service
charges on deposit accounts which are flat in comparison to last
year.  Overall income is up due in large part to a loss on the
sale of securities taken during the first quarter of 1995.  


Noninterest Expense
- -------------------

Salaries and occupancy expense are up due to the Company's recent
hiring of additional personnel required to open two new branches
of a subsidiary bank.  Other noninterest expenses are down for
the three-month period due to the overall improved operations of
the Company.  The Company has taken necessary steps to improve
its efficiencies without harming the delivery of services through
the consolidation of several administrative and clerical
functions.  Management does not expect to see continued
improvement in the noninterest expenses of the Company in the
near future due to expansion of the Company's banking markets and
the additional short term costs associated with the process.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Management
- ------------------------------------

Interest rates play a major part in the net interest income of a
financial institution.  The sensitivity to rate changes is known
as "interest rate risk."  The repricing of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities can influence the changes
in net interest income.  As part of the Company's asset/liability
management program, the timing of repricing assets and
liabilities is referred to as Gap management.  It is the policy
of the Company to maintain a Gap ratio in the one year time
horizon of .80 to 1.20.  The table below has two measures of Gap,
regulatory and management adjusted.  The regulatory Gap considers
only contractual maturities or repricings.  The management
adjusted Gap considers such things as prepayments on certain 
interest rate sensitive assets and the circumstances under which
core deposits are repriced.  Although  interest-bearing
transaction accounts are available to reprice in the three-month
window, historical experience shows these deposits to be more
stable over the course of one year.  This management adjusted Gap
indicates the Company to be somewhat asset sensitive in relation
to changes in market interest rates.

The Company uses simulation analysis to monitor changes in net interest
income due to changes in market interest rates.  The simulation of
rising, declining, and a most likely interest rate scenarios allow
management to monitor and adjust interest rate sensitivity to minimize
the impact of market interest rate swings.  Each month management updates

LIQUIDITY

     Liquidity is an important factor in the financial condition of the
Company and affects the Company's ability to meet the borrowing needs and
deposit withdrawal requirements of its customers.  Assets, consisting
principally of loans and investment securities, are funded by customer
deposits,  purchased funds and borrowed funds.

     The investment portfolio is one of  the Company's primary sources of
liquidity.  Maturities of securities provide a constant flow of funds
which are available for cash needs. Investment securities that
contractually mature within one year total $13.2 Million. However,
mortgage-backed securities and securities with call provisions create
cash flows earlier than the contractual maturities.  Estimates of
prepayments on mortgage-backs and call provisions on other securities
increase the forecasted cash flow from the investment portfolio within
one year to approximately $14.2 Million.  Maturities in the loan
portfolio also provide a steady flow of funds. The projected repayments
on the Company's sales finance portfolio are $2 Million within one year. 
The Company's liquidity also continues to be enhanced by a relatively
stable core deposit base.  At March 31, 1996, the loan to deposit ratio
was 63%.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Company maintains a ratio of shareholders' equity to total
assets that is adequate relative to industry standards.  The Company's
ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets was 10.60% at March 31,
1996, compared to 10.90% at December 31, 1995.  

     The Company and its subsidiary banks are required to comply with
capital adequacy standards established by the Federal Reserve and the
FDIC.  Currently, there are two basic measures of capital adequacy: risk-
based measure and  leverage measure.

     The risk-based capital standards are designed to make regulatory
capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among
banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet
exposure and to enhance the value of  holding liquid assets. The
resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-
weighted assets and off-balance sheet items.  Recently the Federal
Reserve and the FDIC proposed that interest rate risk be considered in
computing risk-based capital ratios.

     The minimum standard for the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets is 8%.  At least 50% of that capital level must consist of common
equity, undivided profits and noncumulative perpetual preferred stock,
less goodwill and certain other intangibles ("Tier I capital").  The
remainder ("Tier II capital") may consist of a limited amount of other
preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and
a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses.  The sum of Tier I
capital and Tier II capital is "total risk-based capital."


                                10

     The Federal Reserve and the FDIC also adopted regulations which
supplement the risk-based guidelines to include a minimum leverage ratio
of 3% of Tier I capital to total assets less goodwill (the "leverage
ratio").  Depending upon the risk profile of the institution and other
factors, the regulatory agencies may require a leverage 1% to 2% higher
than the minimum 3% level.
