FIRST GEORGIA HOLDING, INC.
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 4% of withdrawable savings and short-
term borrowings.  The Bank's liquidity level was 4.80% and 
4.38% at March 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, 
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 1998.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following is a reconciliation at March 31, 1998 of the 
Bank's equity capital to regulatory capital, under 
generally accepted accounting principles:

First Georgia Bank
  Stockholders' Equity		                  			14,104,000

Less:
  Intangible Assets		                    		 	   974,000
                                            ------------
Tangible Capital					                        13,130,000

Plus:
  Qualifying intangible assets	            		   974,000
                                            ------------
     Core Capital						                      14,104,000

Plus:
 Supplemental Capital		                   			 1,112,000
                                            ------------
     Risk-based Capital					                 15,216,000
                                            ============

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 March 31, 1998,  the Bank met 
all three capital requirements.

The Bank's regulatory capital and the required minimum 
amounts at March 31, 1998 are summarized as follows:

Tangible Capital 	  7.53%	  13,130,000	  1.50%	  2,617,000	   6.05%   10,513,000

Core Capital	       8.04%   14,104,000	  4.00%	  7,018,000    4.04%	   7,086,000

Risk-based 
 Capital	          10.02%	  15,216,000	  8.00%	 12,149,000    2.02%	   3,067,000

                     
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	        
                  			         		Capital Ratio  	 Capital Ratio   Leverage 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 March 31, 1998, the Bank's Tier 1 risk-based capital 
ratio was 9.29%.  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 March 31, 1998.  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.

                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTEREST INCOME

Interest income on loans increased $579,967, or 20.03%, for 
the three month period ended March 31, 1998 and $1,057,909, 
or 18.32% for the six month month period ended March 31, 
1998 as compared to the same period in 1997. The Company 
has been aggressive in attracting new loan business while 

                           8
<PAGE>

competition for loans remains strong and loan demand is 
still steady in the marketplace.   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.   
Interest on investments increased $30,614, or 21.31% for 
the quarter and $53,049, or 17.45% for the six month period 
ended March 31, 1998 compared to March 31, 1997.  The Bank 
had some low interest investments mature and used the 
proceeds to purchase some investments which would generate 
more income.  Other interest income for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1998 decreased $51,124, or 86.78% as compared to 
the same quarter ended March 31, 1997.  For the six month 
period ended March 31, 1998, other income decreased 
$117,943, or 85.28% as compared to the same period ended 
March 31, 1997. In planning for the sale of the Hinesville 
office, which closed March 7, 1997, the Bank maintained 
high cash balances. With the completion of that sale, the 
Bank has used its cash reserves to fund increasing loan 
growth.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest Expense increased $206,864 (12.27%) for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1998 and $358,846 (10.50) for the 
six month period ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the 
same period in 1997.  Interest on deposits increased 
$152,650 (10.08%) for the three month period ended March 
31, 1998 and $256,680 (8.36) for the six month period ended 
March 31, 1998 compared to the same periods ended March 31, 
1997. Average deposit balances increased approximately 
$10,750,000 in the six month period from September 30, 1997 
to December 31, 1997, and this growth rate is expected to 
increase as the year goes on.  The market place in which 
the Bank operates is extremely conducive to deposit growth, 
as evidenced by the Bank's increase in deposits.  Despite 
the increases in deposits, the Bank had to purchase fed 
funds throughout the quarter and six month period to help 
fund the high loan demand.  This increase is the reason 
interest on borrowings increased $54,214, or 31.44% for the 
quarter and $102,166, or 29.23% for the six month period.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net Interest Income increased $352,593, or 24.98% for the 
quarter and $634,169, or 22.67% for the six month period 
ended March 31, 1998 as compared to the same periods last 
year.  Increases in loan balances and interest earning 
deposits offset the increases in deposit balances enough to 
produce a favorable net interest margin.  Management 
believes this growth will continue throughout fiscal 1998.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

 The provision for loan losses expense decreased $293,344 
for the quarter and $302,625 for the six months ended March 
31, 1998 as compared to the same periods ended March 31, 
1997.  Following the sale of the Hinesville office, 
Management decided to allocate over $285,000 of the gain to 
the loan loss provision. This charge was not present in the 
current reporting periods.  The loan loss provision at 
March 31, 1998 was over $1,000,000, which is well over the 
necessary regulatory requirements.  Management feels the 
reserve is at adequate levels and does not warrant any 
transfers from earnings at this time.  Net Interest Income 
after Provision for Loan Losses for the quarter ended March 
31, 1998 increased $645,937, or 57.88% from the same period 
last year and $936,794, or 37.60% for the six month period 
ended March 31, 1998 over March 31, 1997.

OTHER INCOME

Other Income for the quarter decreased $292,618, or 40.45% 
from the same quarter the previous year and $125,009, or 
12.64%, for the six month period ended March 31, 1998 as 
compared to March 31, 1997.  The Bank realized a gain on 
the sale of the Hinesville office of $433,946 in March of 
1997.  Since this gain was not present in 1998, the numbers 
are somewhat deflated.  Loan servicing fees increased 
$82,247 (65.42%) for the quarter and $169,463 (74.90) for 
the six month period ended March 31, 1998. Deposit service 
charges  increased $63,090 (42.42%) for the quarter and 
$140,621 (46.02%) for the six month period ended March 31, 

                            9
<PAGE>

1998.  As the Bank's loan and deposit balances increase 
steadily, these particular areas increase also. 

OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 
increased $256,062, or 21.73%, over the quarter ended March 
31, 1997. Other expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 
1998 increased $449,531, or 19.23%, over the six month 
period  ended March 31, 1997.  Personnel expense increased 
$146,053, or 25.03% in the three month period ending March 
31, 1998 over March 31, 1997, and $254,089, or 22.14 for 
the six month period ended March 31, 1998 over the same 
period last year.  The Bank has added several new employees 
to help with the growth the Bank is experiencing.  Federal 
insurance premiums increased $15,635, or 339.82% for the 
three month period ended March 31, 1998 over the same 
period in  1997.  However, for the six month period ended 
March 31, 1998, federal insurance premiums decreased 
$32,009 (44.34%) as compared to March 31, 1997.  The 
special SAIF assessment lowered the insurance rate 
beginning January of 1997, so going forward from this 
quarter will show more parity between the two years on a 
quarterly basis.  On a year to date basis, this figure will 
be lower because the SAIF assessment was absorbed the first 
quarter of fiscal 1997.

  The Bank accrued $280,908 in income taxes for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1998, an increase of $36,098 (14.75%) over 
the same quarter in 1996. 


FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS

Cash increased $1,474,388, or 49.39%,  over the six month 
period ended March 31, 1998.  With the increase in 
transaction deposit accounts, the Bank has kept higher cash 
balances.  Interest bearing deposits in other banks 
decreased $1,201,946, or 78.88%,  over the same period due 
to the high loan demand.  The Bank is quickly turning over 
new deposit balances into new loan disbursements.  
Investment securities increased $764,914, or 7.94% from 
September 30, 1997 to March 31, 1998.  As several bonds 
matured, the Bank replaced them with larger bonds carrying 
a more favorable interest rate.

Loans receivable increased $14,419,475, or  10.46% as of 
ended March 31, 1998 over September 30, 1997.  The Bank has 
been aggressive, yet selective, in attracting new loan 
business.  Loan demand is steady, and the bank has been 
successful in drawing strong, safe loans to the bank.  The 
Bank's Loan portfolio is as follows:

Management's evaluation of the risk elements in the loan 
portfolio is the basis for the allowance 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.  For the six month period 
ending March 31, 1998, Management allocated $3,307 of 
earnings to the provision for loan losses.  At March 31, 
1998, the Bank believes its allowance for loan losses is 
adequate to provide for future losses. 

The following tables illustrate the Bank's problem loans 
and its allowance for loan losses.  When a loan has been 
past due ninety days or more, Management reevaluates the 
loan and its underlying risk elements to determine if it 
should be placed on nonaccrual status.  These loans are 
loans for which unpaid interest is not recognized in 
income.  Past due loans are loans which are ninety days or 
more delinquent and still accruing interest.

LIABILITIES

Deposits have increased $15,436,093, or 11.88%, for the six 
month period ended March 31, 1998.   Along with loans, the 
Bank has been working hard to increase its market share in 
Glynn County's deposit business.  As the numbers dictate, 
First Georgia has been somewhat successful in soliciting 
new deposit business.  While the Bank did decrease its 
borrowing position with the Federal Home Loan Bank by 
$900,000 (6.27%) over the three month period, the Bank 
secured a fed funds line with another institution to 
provide short term borrowings (or investment of excess 
cash).  At March 31, 1998, these borrowings stood at 
$190,000.
