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

LIQUIDITY

  First Georgia Bank (the Bank) has traditionally maintained
levels of liquidity above levels required by regulatory
authorities.  As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System,
the Bank is required to maintain a daily average balance of cash
and eligible liquidity investments equal to a monthly average of
5% of withdrawable savings and short-term borrowings.  The Bank's
liquidity level was 5.75% and 13.49% at June 30, 1996 and
September 30, 1995, respectively.

  The Bank's operational needs, demand for loan disbursements,
and savings withdrawals can be met by loan principal, interest
payments received, new deposits, and excess liquid assets.  
Significant loan demand, deposit withdrawal, increased
delinquencies, and increased real estate acquired in settlement of
loans (REO) could alter this condition.    Management does not
foresee any liquidity problems for 1996.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

  The following is a reconciliation at June 30, 1996 of the
Bank's equity capital under generally accepted accounting
principles to regulatory capital.

  Plus:

                                         ------------
       Risk-based Capital                 12,999,000
                                         ============
  Current regulations require institutions to keep minimum
regulatory tangible capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted assets,
minimum core capital to adjusted assets of 3% (the leverage
ratio), and risk-based capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8%.  The
Office of Thrift Supervision (the OTS) may increase the minimum
core capital, or leverage ratio, based on its assessment of the
institution's risk management systems and the level of total risk
in the individual institution.  At June 30, 1996, the Bank met all
three capital requirements.

  The Bank's regulatory capital and the required minimum
amounts, at June 30, 1996 are summarized as follows:

  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
(FDICIA) required the Federal banking agencies to take "prompt
corrective action" in respect to institutions that do not meet
minimum capital requirements.  Along with the ratios described
above, FDICIA also introduced an additional capital measurement,
the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio.  The Tier 1 ratio is the
ratio of Tier 1 or core capital to total risk-adjusted assets. 
FDICIA establishes five capital tiers:  "well capitalized,"
"adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly
undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized."  The
regulators summarize their minimum requirements for the five
capital tiers established by the FDICIA as follows:

                           Tier 1 Risk-Based        Risk-based          Leverage
                             Capital Ratio           Capitalio            Ratio
                           -----------------      ---------------     ----------

Well Capitalized              10% or above        6% or above        5% or above
Adequately Capitalized         8% or above        4% or above        4% or above
Undercapitalized               Less than 8%       Less than 4%      Less than 3%
Significantly 
  Undercapitalized             Less than 8%       Less than 4%      Less than 3%
Critically Undercapitalized    ------------       ------------      2% or less


  An unsatisfactory examination rating may cause an
institution's  capitalization category to be lower than suggested
by its actual capital position.  

  At June 30, 1996, the Bank's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
was 9.85%.  If a depository institution should fail to meet its
regulatory capital requirements, regulatory agencies can require
submission and funding of a capital restoration plan by the
institution, place limits on its activities, require the raising
of additional capital and, ultimately, require the appointments of
a conservator or receiver for the institution.

  The Bank's capital position changed during the quarter ended
June 30, 1996.  Total capital as well as tangible capital, core
capital, and risk-based capital continued to increase during the
quarter.  The mix of risk-based assets and additional earnings are
the primary factors for this increase.

<PAGE>
                                
                     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME

  Interest income on loans increased  $18,951 or 0.69% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared for the same quarter ended
June 30, 1995.  Average loan balances were up over $12,000,000 at
June 30, 1996 as compared to June 30, 1995.  This substantial
increase is the main force behind the increase in interest income. 
 For the nine month period ended June 30, 1996, interest income
was up 1.26%, or $101,474  over the same period in 1995.  
Competition for loans remains strong, and loan demand is still
steady.   However, the Bank continues to be selective in the loans
that it makes, as evident by its low real estate foreclosed
balances.  Management expects loan demand to maintain healthy
levels because of the level interest rates.
  Interest income on investments increased $53,462 or 42.59%
for the quarter and $157,217, or 44.51%, for the nine months ended
June 30, 1996 as compared to the same time last year.  The Bank
invested excess cash reserves into several new securities with
excellent rates of returns.  Total interest income increased
0.11%, or $3,290 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and 2.18%, or
$187,164 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996  over the
respective  periods last year.  

INTEREST EXPENSE

  Interest on deposits decreased $21,409 or 1.52% for the
three month period  ended June 30, 1996 over the same period ended
June 30, 1995.  The nine month period ended June 30, 1996 shows a
10.01%, or $383,965, increase over the nine month period ended
June 30, 1995.  At the beginning of the quarter, the bank reset
its interest rates on demand deposit accounts to a lower rate than
they had been in two years, thus causing a short term drop in
interest expense.  This strategy will continue through the fiscal
year.  Interest on advances and other borrowings decreased 48,600,
or 18.31% over the comparable three month periods and $147,541, or
17.88% over the same nine month periods.   The Bank has been able
to pay off some high rate advances as they matured.   High deposit
balances have eliminated the need for any additional borrowings. 
Total interest expense decreased $70,009, or 4.18% for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996 and increased  $236,424 or 5.07% for the nine
month period ended June 30, 1996 over the applicable periods last
year.

NET INTEREST INCOME

  Net Interest income increased $73,299, or 5.72% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996 over June 30, 1995.  Net Interest
income decreased $49,260 or 1.26% for the nine months ended June
30, 1996 over March  31, 1995. Again the short term gain and long
term loss are the implementation of a new deposit pricing strategy
in April of 1996.  Management feels this strategy will continue to
produce positive results.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

  Management's evaluation of the risk elements in the loan
portfolio is the basis for the provision for loan losses.  The
elements include possible declines in the value of collateral due
to changing economic conditions and depreciation over time, size
and composition of the loan portfolio, and current economic
conditions that might affect a borrower's ability to pay.  Review
of specific problem loans, regulatory examinations, historical
charge-off experience, and levels of nonperforming and past due
loans are other elements considered.  Management reviews these
factors frequently and determines if the level of loan loss
allowances is adequate. The provision for loan losses expense
decreased $3,732 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared
with the corresponding period ending June 30, 1995 and $34,454 for
the nine month period ended June 30, 1996 with respect with the
same period in 1995.  Net Interest Income after Provision for Loan
Losses for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased $77,031, or
6.08% from the same period last year.  For the nine month period
ended June 30, 1996 net interest income after the loan loss
provision decreased $14,806, or .39% as compared to the same
period in 1995.

<PAGE>

OTHER INCOME

  Other Income for the quarter dropped $25,045, an 8.87%
difference from the same quarter the previous year, and for the
nine month period ending June 30, 1996, a 12.52% ($103,113) drop
occurred from the same nine month period in 1995.   Deposit fees
were down $12,818 (8.93%) for the quarter and 51,548 (11.38%) for
the nine month period ending June 30, 1996 as compared to
comparable periods last year, as the bank is still rebuilding its
deposit base which was transferred with the sale of the Alma
Office.  Other Operating Income decreased $10,822 (35.09%) for the
quarter and $25,031(34.20%) for the nine month period as the
result of decreases in several small areas.
  
OTHER EXPENSES

  Other expenses increased  $30,581  (2.84%) for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996  as compared to June 30, 1995.  For the nine
month period, other expenses increased $49,392, or 1.57% from June
30, 1996 to the comparable period ending June 30, 1995.   While
several areas, such as Federal Insurance Premiums and Data
Processing, saw substantial decreases,  employee salaries and
benefits showed substantial increases.  Additional personnel have
been hired as the bank continues to grow, and costs associated
with our eight month old branch continue to be absorbed. Net
income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased $31,454 or
10.70% from quarter ended June 30, 1995, and decreased 55,402 or
5.94% for the respective nine month periods. 
                                
                      FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS

  Loan volume has increased substantially,  $9,910,777  or
8.97% for the nine month period from September 30, 1995 to June
30, 1996.  Even with strong competition in a tight loan market,
loans showed strong growth.  As of June 30, 1996, interest bearing
deposits increased $1,723,144.  This high balance is the result of
growth in the bank's deposit portfolio.

LIABILITIES

  Deposits have  increased substantially, $12,348,908 or
11.59% since September 30, 1995.  With this excess cash, the Bank
has been able to pay off Federal Home Loan Bank Advances in the
amount of $348,000, a 2.91% drop.  The bank was also able to make
a $100,000 principal payment on its outstanding line of credit,
which resulted in a 52.08% drop.  Despite intense competition for
the loan and deposit business in Glynn County, the Bank has been
able to grow at a sustainable rate.

                            PART II



ITEM 5.     Other Information

       The Bank has signed a letter of intent to sell the
Hinesville Branch to a financial institution in that     market. 
Management expects the sale to be consummated before the end of
the fiscal year.
       The Bank will also be opening a new branch in the Wal-Mart Supercenter 
in the first quarter of the next fiscal year.  This branch will give the Bank a 
branch in a huge market area of the county, and will  establish First
Georgia's branch network as one of the best in the area.
