                    The Savannah Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
              Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article S-X.
Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and footnotes  required
by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.
In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring
accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been  included.
Operating  results  for the  six  month  period  ended  June  30,  1998  are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1998. For further information,  refer to the consolidated financial
statements  and footnotes  thereto,  included in the Company's  annual report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Note 2 - Shareholders' Equity

On January 26, 1997, the Company's  Board of Directors  declared a three-for-two
stock split payable  February 24, 1997 to  shareholders of record on February 7,
1997.

Note 3 - Shares Used in Computing Net Income Per Share

Net income per diluted share is computed  using the weighted  average  number of
common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods. The
diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 1,817,000 and 1,793,000 for the
second quarters of 1998 and 1997, respectively.  They included 99,000 and 85,000
common  equivalent shares in 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The diluted weighted
average shares outstanding were 1,815,000 and 1,789,000 for the first six months
of 1998  and  1997,  respectively.  They  included  101,000  and  83,000  common
equivalent shares in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Note 4 - Change in Accounting Standard

In February of 1997, The Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting  Standard ("SFAS") No. 128,  "Earnings Per Share" which
replaced the prior  methodology  for  calculating  and  presenting  earnings per
share.  Under SFAS No. 128, primary earnings per share have been replaced with a
presentation of basic earnings per share,  and fully diluted  earnings per share
have been replaced  with diluted  earnings per share.  Basic  earnings per share
excludes  dilution  and is  computed  by  dividing  income  available  to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period.  Diluted  earnings  per share are computed  similarly  to fully  diluted
earnings per share. The statement  became  effective  beginning in the Company's
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997, including restatement
of  historical  earnings  per  share  presented  in such  financial  statements.

                                       7
<PAGE>


Earnings  per share for the second  quarter  and six months  ended June 30, 1997
have been restated to show basic and diluted earnings per share.

In June,  1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting  Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and Hedging  Activities."  The Statement  establishes  accounting  and reporting
standards for derivative  instruments  (including certain derivative instruments
imbedded in other  contracts).  The  statement  is  effective  for fiscal  years
beginning after June 15, 1999. The financial impact of the adoption has not been
determined. However, the effect of the adoption of the statement is not expected
to be material.

Note 5 - Reporting of Comprehensive Earnings

Total  comprehensive  income is defined  as net income and all other  changes in
equity.  The Company reported total  comprehensive  income,  net of tax, for the
quarters  ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 of $531,000 and  $590,000,  respectively.
Adjustments  to total  comprehensive  net  income,  net of tax,  for the  second
quarter  of  1998  and  1997   included  net  gains  of  $11,000  and  $145,000,
respectively.  The Company's total comprehensive income, net of tax, for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 was $1,014,000 and $810,000.  Adjustments to
total  comprehensive  net income,  net of tax, for the first six months included
net gains of  $28,000 in 1998 and net  losses of $2,000 in 1997.  These  changes
reflect a market value  increase and decrease in  available-for-sale  securities
for the quarters and the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.


Note 6 - Pending Merger

On February 10, 1998,  the Company  signed a definitive  agreement to merge with
Bryan Bancorp of Georgia, Inc. ("Bryan"),  a bank holding company for Bryan Bank
&  Trust   Company.   Bryan  is  located  in  Richmond  Hill  and  Bryan  County
approximately  twenty  miles south of Savannah.  The Company  intends to acquire
Bryan in a tax-free  stock-for-stock merger, to be accounted for as a pooling of
interests,  by  issuing  shares  of  common  stock of the  Company.  The  merger
agreement  specifies  that each share of Bryan stock will be exchanged  for 1.85
shares  of  the  Company's  stock.  The  value  of the  stock  to be  issued  is
approximately  $24 million based on the $25.50 per share market value on the day
prior to the announcement. The consummation of the merger is contingent upon the
transaction  qualifying  for pooling of interests  accounting  treatment  and is
subject to customary closing  conditions,  including  regulatory and shareholder
approvals.  The merger is expected to be  consummated  in the fourth  quarter of
1998.


Item 2. - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
             and Results of Operations

For a  comprehensive  presentation  of The Savannah  Bancorp,  Inc.'s  financial
condition at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and results of  operations  for
the quarters  ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,  the  following  analysis  should be
reviewed along with other information  including the Company's December 31, 1997
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

                                       8

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 through normal core deposit growth
and investment maturities and/or sales. 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
float  lien  agreement.  The FHLB will also lend  against  unpledged  investment
securities of approximately $15 million. In addition,  the Bank has $6.5 million
of unused short-term  federal funds borrowing lines available from correspondent
banks.

Certificates of deposit over $100,000 include rate sensitive  deposits primarily
to local individuals and businesses and no brokered deposits These  certificates
are considered to be core deposit funds. Most are on an automatic renewing basis
for 6 - 12  months  and  have  been  acquired  and  retained  primarily  through
relationships  and service.  The Bank has done no advertising of 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.

During the  fourth  quarter of 1997,  the bank  opened its fourth  office at the
Island Towne Centre. This office is located in Chatham County, approximately six
miles east of  downtown  Savannah.  The Bank  plans to open its fifth  office in
Savannah's  primary  medical care area of town in  September of 1998.  These new
offices along with the offices  opened in 1990,  1992, and 1995, are expected to
provide  continued  core deposit  growth as well as commercial and consumer loan
growth.

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  an   increase   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 long-term  maturity gap and  repricing  data as of June 30, 1998 is shown in
Table 1 following the Management's Discussion and Analysis section.

Management   has  policies  and  procedures  in  place  to  measure  and  report
anticipated net interest income  fluctuations based on rising and falling rates.
The Board has specified a maximum risk level of five percent of  annualized  net
interest income on an immediate 

                                       9

decrease in the prime rate of 200 basis points. The Bank is presently  operating
within the specified risk levels.


Financial Condition

For the first six months of 1998, loans increased $.6 million to $106.6 million,
and deposits increased $3.8 million to $148.3 million. The loan to deposit ratio
was 71.8 percent at June 30, 1998 compared to 73.4 percent at December 31, 1997.
Nonperforming  assets  were  $75,000 at June 30,  1998  compared  to $185,000 at
December 31, 1997.

Management   has   continued   to  classify   all   investment   securities   as
available-for-sale  since  January 1, 1994.  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 costs and quality earnings and are best for the shareholders and
customers in the long term.

At June 30, 1998, $2.9 million or  approximately  18.2 percent of equity capital
was invested in bank premises and equipment. Equity capital was $15.9 million or
9.4 percent of total assets  compared to the regulatory  minimum of 4.0 percent.
Tier  1  capital  is  13.9  percent  of  risk-weighted  assets  compared  to the
regulatory  minimum  of 8  percent.  The net  unrealized  holding  gains  on the
available-for-sale portfolio were $245,000 at June 30, 1998 compared to $200,000
at December 31, 1997.

Results of Operations - Second Quarter, 1998 vs. Second Quarter, 1997

The net income for the second quarter of 1998 was $520,000,  or $.29 per diluted
share,  compared to  $445,000  or $.25 per  diluted  share in the same period of
1997,  an  increase  of 17  percent  in net  income  and 16 percent in per share
earnings.

Net interest  income for the second quarter of 1998 was  $1,691,000  compared to
$1,493,000 in 1997, an increase of 13.3 percent. Average interest-earning assets
were up 21.0  percent  in 1998  over  1997.  The  second  quarter  net  yield on
interest-earning assets decreased to 4.23 percent from 4.52 percent in 1997. The
decrease in the net  interest  margin  resulted  primarily  from the decrease in
investment  yields on securities due to lower bond market rates and a lower loan
to deposit  ratio of 72 percent at June  30,1998  compared to 79 percent at June
30, 1997.

                                       10
<PAGE>

The provision for loan losses was $45,000 in the second quarter of 1998 compared
to $65,000 for the same period in 1997. Net loan charge-offs  totaled $33,000 in
the second  quarter of 1998,  and there were net  charge-offs  of $12,000 in the
same period for 1997.

Total  other  income for the second  quarter of 1998 was  $324,000  compared  to
$227,000 in 1997, an increase of 43 percent.  The expansion of the mortgage loan
origination department combined with lower mortgage interest rates accounted for
an increase of $64,000,  or 86 percent,  in origination fees. Fees on loans sold
to the SBA and an increased  volume of ATM  transaction  fees resulted in higher
other income.

Other  expenses  were  $1,165,000  in the  second  quarter of 1998  compared  to
$973,000 in the second quarter of 1997, an increase of 20 percent.  Salaries and
employee benefits increases include three new officer  positions,  approximately
five new staff positions, and promotional and incentive increases.  Increases in
occupancy,  equipment and other  expenses  primarily  reflect  normal volume and
inflation growth.

The  provision  for income  taxes was  $285,000  in the  second  quarter of 1998
compared to  $237,000  in the second  quarter of 1997.  The  effective  combined
federal  and state  income  tax  provisions  were 35.4  percent in 1998 and 34.8
percent in 1997.

Results of Operations - First Six Months, 1998 vs. First Six Months, 1997

The net  income  for the first  six  months  of 1998 was  $986,000,  or $.54 per
diluted  share,  compared to  $812,000,  or $.45 per  diluted  share in the same
period of 1997,  an  increase  of 21 percent in net income and 20 percent in per
share earnings.

Net interest income for the first six months of 1998 was $3,302,000  compared to
$2,861,000 in 1997, an increase of 15.4%. Average  interest-earning  assets were
up 21.8% in 1998 over 1997. The net yield on  interest-earning  assets decreased
to 4.23% from 4.47%. The decrease in the net interest margin resulted  primarily
from  the  lower  loan to  deposit  ratio  in 1998 as  compared  to 1997 and the
decrease in investment yields on securities.

The  provision for loan losses was $100,000 and $115,000 in the first six months
of 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  Net loan charge-offs were $52,000 in the first
six months of 1998 and $12,000 in the same period for 1997.

Other income was  $628,000 in the first six months of 1998  compared to $419,000
for the same period in 1997,  an increase  of 50 percent.  Mortgage  origination
fees were $265,000 in the first six months of 1998 compared to $134,000 in 1997,
an increase of 98 percent.  Other increases resulted from higher ATM transaction
fee volume and fees on SBA loans sold.

 Other  expenses  were  $2,309,000  for the first six months of 1998 compared to
$1,916,000  for the same  period  in 1997,  an  increase  of 21  percent.  Other
operating expense increases  included expenses related three new officer to five
additional  staff  positions in 1998 and 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.

Year 2000

The Company has engaged Year 2000 consultants and has developed a plan to ensure
a smooth  transition  of the systems,  products,  and vendors  which the Company
relies on, into the twenty-first century.  Additionally, the Bank will work with
its loan customers to monitor potential credit exposure that might result from a
lack of their systems' readiness for the Year 2000.

Substantially  all of the Company's  software  systems are licensed from outside
vendors.  The core customer  information  system (CIS), loan,  deposit,  general
ledger,  ATM and card-based  systems are all maintained and processed by a third
party, M & I Data Services, Inc., the largest bank-owned data processor of banks
in the United  States.  The  Company  has  received  commitments  from its major
vendors to provide the  required  systems  modifications  to ensure  compliance.
Management believes those commitments will be met in advance of July 1, 1999.

Some  software  programs and some  hardware will need to be modified or replaced
for  Year  2000  compliance.  To the  extent  possible,  those  changes  will be
incorporated  into the normal  replacement  or upgrade of hardware  and systems.
Management  believes it will be successful in the  achievement  of its plans and
does not believe  that the  execution  of the plan will have a material  adverse
effect on future operating results.

(a)   - estimated cash flow runoff of 10% per year has been assumed

The  Company's  cash flow gap is $11,202  within one year, or 7 percent of total
interest-earning  assets.  Fixed-rate  earning assets with  maturities over five
years total $9,257,  or 6 percent of total  interest-earnings  assets.  The cash
flow gaps between one and five years will adjust significantly each year through
normal loan and deposit activity. Based on the principal cash flows and interest
rates  presented  above and the  policies  and  procedures  in place to  monitor
interest rate risk,  management  believes interest rate risk is being adequately
managed within reasonable earnings fluctuation tolerances.

On May 1, 1998, a third Form 8-K was filed containing press release  disclosures
of April 24, 1998 announcing an expected delay in the merger  proceedings due to
certain  concerns  related to a  director,  who is  Chairman of Bryan and an 8.6
percent  shareholder.  The  director  has  refused  to  sign  certain  documents
necessary  to assure  the  pooling-of-interests  accounting  method,  which is a
condition of closing.  The press  release also  announced  that the regular 1998
Annual Meeting of Shareholders would be held on June 16, 1998.
