ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For a comprehensive presentation of The Savannah Bancorp's financial condition
at September 30, 1996, and results of operations for the quarters and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the following analysis should be
reviewed along with other information including the Company's December 31, 1995
Form 10-K Annual Report.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

The objectives of funds management include maintaining adequate liquidity and
reasonable harmony between the repricing of sources and uses of funds on
interest sensitive assets and liabilities.  The goal of liquidity management is
to ensure the availability of adequate funds to meet the loan demand and the
deposit withdrawal needs of the bank's customers.  This is achieved through
maintaining a combination of sufficient liquid assets, core deposit growth, and
unused capacity to purchase funds in the money markets.

The Company will fund anticipated loan growth primarily through normal deposit
growth.  However, the Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
(FHLB) and has access to borrowings in excess of $10.0 million by pledging
qualifying residential real estate loans under a blanket floating lien
agreement.  The FHLB will also lend against unpledged investment securities of
approximately $15.0 million.  In addition, the Bank has $8.0 million of unused
short- term federal funds borrowing lines available from correspondent banks.

The relatively high volume of $23.0 million of certificates of deposit over
$100,000, includes $8-10 million of negotiated rate deposits.  The remaining
large certificates are considered to be core deposit funds. Most are on an
automatically renewing basis for 6 - 12 months and have proven to be no more
rate sensitive than the smaller time deposits.  These deposits have been
acquired and retained primarily through relationships and service.  The Bank
has not advertised higher rates to attract deposits and has consistently set
its deposit rates with very little premium above the regional bank competition
in our market area.  The Bank pays premium rates on deposits primarily to match
rates of competitors to retain existing deposits.

During the fourth quarter, 1995, the bank opened its third office, our West
Chatham office.  This office is located in west Chatham County, approximately
six miles west of downtown Savannah.  The new office along with the existing
two offices are expected to provide continued core deposit growth as well as
commercial and consumer loan growth.


                                      7

A continuing objective of asset liability management is to maintain a high
level of variable rate assets, including variable rate loans and
shorter-maturity investments, to balance increases in market sensitive
liabilities.  Interest sensitivity management and its effects on the net
interest margin require analyses and actions which take into consideration
volumes repriced and the timing and magnitude of their change.  The interest
sensitivity gaps which existed at September 30, 1996  are presented in the
following table:

</TABLE>

At September 30, 1996, the Company was liability-sensitive within one year.
The change from the historical asset- sensitive position occurred primarily due
to the lower volume of fixed rate loans maturing within three months and the
higher volume of maturing time deposits within three months as compared to
December 31, 1995.  These fluctuations in maturity volumes are normal.
Asset-sensitivity also declined due to extending maturities of investments
purchased in 1996.  At September 30, 1996, the Company had some moderate
interest rate risk in the 3-6 month maturities should rates rise.  However, the
fact that the deposits rates generally decline less than the loans will offset
some of the liability-sensitive volume.  The Company is well-positioned for
increasing or decreasing interest rates, which is appropriate in the present
uncertain environment.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

For the first nine months of 1996, loans increased $8.8 million  to $84.6
million, and deposits increased $11.9 million to $111.4 million.  The loan to
deposit ratio was 75.9% at September 30, 1996 compared to 76.2% at December 31,
1995.  Non-performing assets were $123,000 at September 30, 1996 compared to
$7,000 at December 31, 1995.

Management has continued to classify all investment securities as available for
sale since January 1, 1995.  Fluctuations in the U. S. Treasury market rates
have caused both decreases and increases in the market value of the available
for sale investment portfolio and the related equity valuation account.
Capital ratios for regulatory purposes are not impacted by the net unrealized
holding gains (losses) on available for sale securities.  Management has chosen
the flexibility to restructure the investment portfolio and to recognize gains
or losses on securities when appropriate.

The Company's lending and investment policies emphasize quality and
well-managed growth.  These policies may translate into slower growth in net
interest income and earnings in the short-term; however, management believes
these policies result in lower operating costs, quality earnings, and are best
for the shareholders and customers in the long-term.


                                      8
<PAGE>   10

At September 30, 1996, $2,386,000 or approximately 18.7% of equity capital, was
invested in bank premises and equipment.  Equity capital was $12.8 million, or
10.1% of total assets, compared to the regulatory minimum of 4.0%.  Total
capital is 17.7 % of risk-based assets compared to the regulatory minimum of
8.0%.  The net unrealized holding gains and losses on the available for sale
portfolio was a  $138,000 net loss at September 30, 1996 compared to a net gain
of $251,000 at December 31, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THIRD QUARTER, 1996 VS. THIRD QUARTER, 1995

The net income for the third quarter, 1996 was $410,000 or $.35 per share,
compared to $340,000, or $.30 per share in the same period of 1995.

Net interest income for the third quarter, 1996, was $1,298,000 compared to
$1,131,000 in 1995, an increase of  14.8%.  Average interest-earning assets
were up 22.5% in 1996 over 1995.  The net yield on interest-earning assets (net
interest margin) decreased to 4.43% from 4.66%.  The decline in the net
interest margin results from assets repricing more quickly than deposits in a
declining rate environment.  Adding new investments and loans at spreads lower
than the net interest margin also contributed to the decline in the margin.
Approximately 50% of the loan portfolio reprices immediately with the prime
rate. Time deposits reprice much slower than the variable rate loans due to
their maturities.

The provision for loan losses was $30,000 and $22,000 in the third quarter of
1996 and 1995, respectively.    There were recoveries in the third quarter of
1996 of $6,000 and no charge-off or recoveries in the same period for 1995.

Other income was $159,000 in the third quarter, 1996, compared to  $162,000 for
the same period in 1995. Lower volumes in mortgage origination fees due to an
increase in mortgage rates during the third quarter, 1996 contributed to the
decrease in other income.   Other expenses totaled $809,000 and $735,000 for
third quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Other operating expense
increases included expenses related to the new full service office opened in
November, 1995 and four new ATMs installed between November, 1995 and April,
1996.   Other increases included higher data processing fees, which are
directly related to the rapidly growing loan portfolio and deposit base of the
Bank.  FDIC insurance annual assessments decreased from 23 cents per $100 of
deposits in 1995 to an annual minimum fee of $2,000 in 1996.  This expense
decrease offset some of the other expense increases.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - FIRST NINE MONTHS, 1996 VS. FIRST NINE MONTHS, 1995

The net income for the first nine months of 1996 was $1,083,000, or $.92 per
share, compared to $883,000, or $.77 per share in the same period of 1995.
These numbers represent increases of 22.7% in net income and 19.5% in per share
earnings.


                                      9
<PAGE>   11

Net interest income for the first nine months, 1996, was $3,748,000 compared to
$3,319,000 in 1995, an increase of 12.9%.  Average interest-earning assets were
up 24.1% in 1996 over 1995.  The net yield on interest-earning assets decreased
to 4.39% from 4.81%.  The decrease in the net yield on interest-earning assets
is primarily attributable to the decrease in the prime rate from 9.00% to 8.25%
between June 30, 1995 and February 1, 1996. Adding new investments and loans at
spreads lower than the net interest margin also contributed to the decline in
the margin.


The provision for loan losses was $150,000 and $122,000 in the first nine
months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Charge-offs were $12,000 in 1996 and
$10,000 in 1995.  There were recoveries of $6,000 in 1996 and none during the
same period in 1995.

Other income was $484,000 in the first nine months, 1996 compared to $346,000
for the same period in 1995.  The substantial difference is the losses on the
sale of investment securities of $80,000 in 1995.  Higher volumes of deposit
accounts, non-sufficient check fee volume and some service fee increases are
the primary reasons for the increases in other income.  Other expenses totaled
$2,415,000 and $2,153,000 for first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively,
an increase of 12.1%.  Other operating expense increases included expenses
related to the new full service office opened in November, 1995 and four new
ATMs installed between November, 1995 and April, 1996.   Other increases
included higher data processing fees, supplies costs and postage expense, which
are directly related to the rapidly growing loan portfolio and deposit base of
the Bank.  FDIC insurance annual assessments decreased from 23 cents per $100
of deposits in 1995 to an annual minimum fee of $2,000 in 1996.  This expense
decrease offset some of the other expense increases.
