FIRST GEORGIA HOLDING, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The  following  discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the
financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q

LIQUIDITY


First Georgia Bank (the Bank) has  traditionally  maintained levels of liquidity
above levels required by regulatory authorities. As a member of the Federal
                                       6
<PAGE>


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
11.80% and 6.58% at March 31, 1999 and September 30, 1998, respectively.

The  Bank's  operational  needs,  demand  for loan  disbursements,  and  savings
withdrawals  can be met by loan principal and 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 1999.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE DISCLOSURE

As the year 2000 ("Year  2000")  approaches,  an  important  business  issue has
emerged  regarding  existing  software  programs  and  hardware.  Many  existing
application software products were designed to accommodate a two-digit year. For
example,  "98" is stored on the system and represents  1998 and "00"  represents
1900.  The Bank has been working on this problem  since fiscal 1997.  Management
formed an Electronic  Data  Processing  ("EDP")  committee (the  "Committee") in
early  fiscal 1997 to address this and many other  computer-related  issues that
may arise.  The Committee  began testing all hardware and software  applications
for Year 2000  readiness.  Several  of the  Bank's  computers  were  found to be
non-compliant with Year 2000. The Committee decided to replace these machines as
they  implemented  a  Bank  wide  network  to  facilitate  ease  of  information
dissemination.  With the installation of the network,  all computers now used in
the Bank are Year 2000 compliant.

All mission  critical  software  for the Bank was tested as of March  1999.  All
peripheral and specialized  software has been tested as well. Where needed,  all
non-compliant  software  has been updated to  compliant  status or replaced.  In
October of 1998, the Bank converted to a new mainframe system, a product of Jack
Henry and  Associates.  The new software was tested to the  satisfaction  of the
Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"), the Bank's primary regulator. The Bank
has joined with other users of the software to perform user group testing of the
mission critical software. This testing was completed in early fiscal 1999.

An  additional  area of concern  to the  Company,  the Bank,  and the OTS is the
effect of Year 2000 issues on its deposit and loan customers. Failure to address
Year 2000 issues could have  significant  implications on the ability of certain
customers to continue operations. Letters inquiring as to the readiness for Year
2000 were sent to all the Bank's commercial customers. Additional information is
provided  by each  branch to any  customer  who  wishes to learn more about Year
2000.  Although the Bank has taken several steps to address these issues,  there
can be no assurance that these customers will be Year 2000 compliant. Failure of
certain customers to adequately  address these issues could result in a negative
impact on the Company's earnings.

The Company  believes  the mission  critical  systems  are  currently  Year 2000
compliant. The Bank The EDP committee still meets regularly to discuss Year 2000
issues.  Outside sources have performed several audits of the system with little
or no exceptions to report.  Management  understands that certain infrastructure
failures  could  arise  due to  undetected  system  or  software  errors.  These
contingencies  could  adversely  affect the Bank.  The Bank is addressing  these
contingencies in its Disaster Recovery Plan.

The Bank has  experienced  most of its costs  associated with becoming Year 2000
compliant.  The  Company  spent  approximately  $1,000,000  to become  Year 2000
compliant. Nearly all of this expenditure was for new equipment and software, so
the cost will be capitalized rather than realized all in one period.  Management
forsees any future costs associated with Year 2000 to be insignificant.

Although the Bank has taken several measures to address Year 2000 issues,  there
can be no assurances  that all necessary  modifications  will be identified  and
corrected or that unforeseen  difficulties  or costs will not arise.  Therefore,
there can be no assurance that the failure of the Bank's  internal  systems will
not negatively impact the Bank's operations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following is a reconciliation at March 31, 1999 of the Bank's equity capital
to regulatory capital, under generally accepted accounting principles:

First Georgia Bank

Less:
    Intangible assets                               862,000

        Core Capital                             16,358,000

Plus:
   Supplemental Capital                           1,019,000
                                        --------------------
        Risk-based Capital                     $ 17,377,000
                                        ====================




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,  1999,  the Bank met all  three  capital
requirements.

The Bank's regulatory capital and the required minimum amounts at March 31, 1999
are summarized as follows:

                                         Required Minimum          Excess
                   Bank Capital               Amount            (Deficiency)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation  Improvement Act (FDICIA) required the
Federal banking agencies to take "prompt corrective action" in respect

                                       8
<PAGE>

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      Capital Ratio            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, 1999, the Bank's Tier 1 risk-based  capital ratio was 13.17%.  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, 1999.
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 $80,116, or 2.31%, for the three month period
ended March 31, 1999 and $279,418, or 4.09% for the six month period ended March
31, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998. The Company has been aggressive
in attracting new loan business while  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  evidenced by its low real estate
foreclosed balances.  Management expects loan demand to maintain healthy levels.
Interest  on  investments  increased  $75,034,  or 43.05%  for the  quarter  and
$114,878,  or 32.17% for the six month period  ended March 31, 1999  compared to
March 31, 1998. As the Bank attracted  significant deposit balances,  Management
increased  its  investment  holdings.   Average  investment  balances  increased
approximately  $5,200,000  from March 31, 1999 as  compared  to March 31,  1998.
Other interest  income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 increased  $128,664,
or 1,652.08% as compared to the same quarter  ended March 31, 1998.  For the six
month period ended March 31, 1999, other interest income increased $286,277,  or
1,406.94%  as  compared  to the same period  ended  March 31,  1999.  In a trend
continued from the last fiscal year, the Bank has seen tremendous  growth in its
deposit  balances.  The Bank is  offering  new  deposit  products,  such as free
checking,  which has been accepted  favorably in the marketplace.  Consequently,
the bank has been able to put money into short-term  earning  vehicles,  such as
overnight Fed Funds.

                                       9

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest on deposits increased $222,312 (13.34%) for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 and  $496,002  (14.91%)  for the six month  period  ended March 31, 1998 as
compared  to the  same  period  in  1998.  Average  deposit  balances  increased
approximately  $9,332,000  in the six month  period from  September  30, 1998 to
March 31,  1999.  The  market  place in which  the Bank  operates  is  extremely
conducive to deposit growth, and the Bank has positioned its deposit products to
take full  advantage  of the  area's  deposit  demand.  Interest  on  borrowings
decreased  $109,752,  or 48.42% for the quarter and $204,756,  or 45.33% for the
six month period  ending March 31, 1999.  The  increased  flow of money into the
Bank from  deposits  has made it possible to pay off several  Federal  Home Loan
Bank advances and other borrowings the Bank had.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net Interest Income increased  $171,254,  or 9.71% for the quarter and $389,327,
or 11.35% for the six month  period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the same
periods  last year.  While  increases  in loan  balances  and  interest  earning
deposits  have  contributed  to  the  increase,   the  substantial  increase  in
non-interest  bearing  deposits held by the Bank has been the deciding factor in
the quick  increase.  Management  believes this growth will continue  throughout
fiscal 1999.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

 The  provision  for loan losses  expense  decreased  $2,180 for the quarter and
decreased $3,251 for the six months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the same
periods  ended March 31,  1998.  The loan loss  reserve is well over  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 the
Provision  for Loan  Losses  for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1999  increased
$173,434,  or 9.84% from the same period last year and  $392,578,  or 11.45% for
the six month period ended March 31, 1999 over March 31, 1998.

OTHER INCOME

Other Income for the quarter increased $103,005, or 23.91% from the same quarter
the previous year and $304,055,  or 35.20%, for the six month period ended March
31, 1999 as compared to March 31,  1998.  The main factor for this  increase was
deposit service charges.
 As the volume of deposits increase, the fee income, such as service charges and
insufficient funds fees, increase as well. Therefore, deposit service charges
 increased  $99,528  (46.99%) for the quarter and $224,781  (50.38%) for the six
month period ended March 31, 1999.

OTHER EXPENSES

Other  expenses  for the quarter  ended March 31, 1999  increased  $288,485,  or
20.11%,  over the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Other expenses for the six month
period ended March 31, 1999 increased  $546,494,  or 19.60%,  over the six month
period ended March 31, 1998. Personnel expense increased $106,723,  or 14.63% in
the three month period ending March 31, 1999 over March 31, 1998,  and $236,382,
or 16.86% for the six month  period  ended  March 31,  1999 over the same period
last year.  The Bank has added several new employees to help with the growth the
Bank is  experiencing.  Management  does not  forsee  any  extraordinary  hiring
concerns  for the  remainder of the year.  Other  operating  expenses  increased
$154,557,  or 39.98%, for the quarter and $293,943, or 38.96% for the nine month
period ended March 31, 1999 as compared to last year.
 With the  introduction of the new mainframe  computer  system,  some costs have
increased, such as office supplies, small fixtures, and data processing systems.
 Also,  with the rapid growth the Bank has  experienced,  areas such as postage,
employee training, and regulatory assessments have increased.

  The Bank decreased its accrual for income
taxes by $19,044 (6.78%) for the quarter and showed an

                                       10
<PAGE>


increase  of $49,984  (8.89%) for the six month  period  ended March 31, 1999 as
compared to the same period in 1998.


                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS

Cash increased  $695,260,  or 15.68%,  over the six month period ended March 31,
1999.  With the  increase in  transaction  deposit  accounts,  the Bank has kept
higher cash balances. Interest bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds
sold decreased  $113,364,  or 0.85%,  over the same period.  The Bank is quickly
turning  over  new  deposit   balances  into  new  loan   disbursements  or  new
investments.  Investment balances increased  $3,658,977,  or 31.64%, for the six
months  ended March 31, 1999.  Premises and  equipment  increased  $167,299,  or
3.72%.  The Bank purchased  additional  computer  equipment to work with the new
mainframe system.

Loans receivable increased $8,001,116, or 5.29% as of the six months ended March
31, 1999 over September 30, 1998. 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.  The Bank believes its allowance for loan losses is
adequate to provide for future losses.

The following  tables  illustrate  the Bank's  allowance for loan losses and its
problem  loans.  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  $13,465,117,  or 8.27%,  for the six month period ended
March 31,  1999.  The Bank has been working hard to increase its market share of
deposits in Glynn  County.  This  increase  reflects that First Georgia has been
fairly  successful  in  soliciting  new deposit  business.  With the increase of
deposit  balances,  the Bank has paid off several of its Federal  Home Loan Bank
advances,  as evidenced by the decrease of $1,000,000,  or 11.63%.  Much of this
money was replaced with the inflow of non-interest bearing deposits.
