                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

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 reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of
normal recurring adjustements) 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, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 2. Current Accounting Developments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings
Per Share".  SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly held common stock
or potential common stock.  This Statement simplifies the standards for
computing earnings per share previously found in APB Opinion No. 15,
"Earnings Per Share", and makes them comparable to international EPS
standards.  It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation
of basic EPS.  It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on
the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures and requires a reconciliation of the
numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and
denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  The effective date of this
Statement is for financial statements issued for periods ending after
December 15, 1997.
The adoption of this Statement  is not expected to have a material effect on
earnings per share.

                     LANIER BANKSHARES, INC. & 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

Total assets increased 10.70% from December 31, 1996 to September 30, 1997.
The increase is due primarily to an increase in loans of $14.4 million or
28.49%.  The growth in loans  was funded by a growth in deposits of
$8.2 million, a decrease in federal funds sold of $1.8 million and a decrease
in investment securities of $2.9 million.

Liquidity

Liquidity is measured by a ratio of net cash, short-term investments and
marketable securities to net deposits and short-term liabilities.  The
Bank's liquidity ratio at September 30, 1997 was 27.39%.  Management believes
that this ratio is adequate to meet the Company's funding needs.

Capital

Banking regulations require the banks and bank holding companies to maintain
minimum capital ratios to assets.  At September 30, 1997, the Company's
capital ratios on a combined basis exceeded the required ratios as follows:

                                                         Actual    Requirement

                Leverage capital ratio                    9.65%      4.00%
                Risk based capital ratios:
                Core capital                             13.46%      4.00%
                Total capital                            14.67%      8.00%

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

Results of Operations

Interest income increased $585,000 or 11.83% during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  Interest expense
increased $144,000 or 5.97% during the nine months ended September 30, 1997
compared to 1996.  This resulted in a increase of $441,000 or 17.44% in net
interest income.  During the three months ended September 30, 1997, interest
income increased 16.27% while interest expense increased 11.42% compared to
the three months ended September 30, 1996.  As a result, net interest income
increased 20.73%.  These increases are a result of growth in loans and
interest-bearing deposits.

The provision for loan losses increased $20,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  The loan loss
reserve as a percentage of total loans decreased from 1.38% at
December 31, 1996 to 1.19% at September 30,1997.  Based on management's
assessment of the economic environment and history of charge-offs and
recoveries, the reserve for loan losses is considered adequate to meet future
losses inherent in the portfolio.

Total other income increased $106,000 during the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997, as compared to 1996.  The most significant changes occurred
in NSF  fees, service charges and income from cash surrender values of life
insurance which  increased $46,000, $20,000 and $24,000, respectively, as
compared to  1996.  The increase in NSF fees is due to a reduction by the Bank
in the number of reversals of NSF charges.  The increase in service charges is
a result of a new charge on return items and an increase in charges on business
checking accounts.

Other operating expenses increased 8.74% or $148,000.  The increase is
primarily attributable to an increase of $95,000 in salary and employee
benefits.  The increase in salaries was the result of increases in staff in
connection with the Bank's growth.  Other increases include occupancy and
equipment of $29,000 and directors fees of $ 31,000   The increase in occupancy
and equipment expense is due to building repair and maintenance and increased
depreciation expense as a result of acquisitions.  The increase in directors
fees is the result of monthly accruals made by the Bank for its liability
related to deferred compensation plans for all directors of the Bank.

Net income increased for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 by
$287,000 as compared to the same period in 1996.  The subsidiary bank continues
to experience growth, which has enabled the Company to increase earnings.
This trend is expected to continue.

Income tax expense increased by $92,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
The effective tax rate decreased to 30% as compared to 31% for the same period
in 1996.
