ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors of
The Savannah Bancorp, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of
The Savannah Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2000, and for the
six-month period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for them
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                   (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-Q 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, 2000, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto, included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

NOTE 2 - 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 are calculated as follow:

                                      Second Quarter           First Six Months

Diluted shares outstanding          2,748      2,776           2,751      2,774
                                    =====      =====           =====      =====

therefore no separate earnings per share, excluding the amortization of
intangibles has been presented.

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 for
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 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.

During the second quarter 2000, loans increased $15.4 million to $236.1 million,
while deposits increased $9.9 million to $253.6 million. The loan to deposit
ratio increased from 87.90% at December 31, 1999 to 93.08% at June 30, 2000.
Loan growth continues to be fueled by an excellent local economy. Developing
strategies to grow local deposits through marketing plans, incentives and higher
rates is a high management priority for the current year. Such strategies have
included advertising higher rate time deposits in the local media and
subscribing to an Internet bulletin board service designed to connect
subscribing time deposit issuers and investors across the nation. We have also
identified sources to acquire brokered deposits and to sell participations in
certain loans as a part of our contingency plan for liquidity needs.

Both subsidiary banks have a Blanket Floating Lien Agreement with the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Atlanta ("FHLB"). Under these agreements, the banks have
credit lines up to 75 percent of the book value of their 1-4 family first
mortgage loans, or approximately $25.2 million as of June 30, 2000. In addition,
the banks had approximately $23.8 million par value of investment securities
pledged as collateral at the FHLB. In aggregate, the Company had secured
borrowing capacity of approximately $47.8 million of which $20.1 million was
advanced at June 30, 2000. These credit arrangements serve as a core funding
source as well as liquidity backup for the banks. The Savannah Bank, N.A. and
Bryan Bank & Trust have credit lines approved by the FHLB of 20 percent and 16
percent of assets, respectively, subject to the FHLB collateral requirements.
The subsidiary banks also have $20 million of temporary federal funds borrowing
lines available from correspondent banks.

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 interest rate sensitive liabilities.
Interest sensitivity management and its effects on the net interest margin
require analyses and actions that take into consideration volumes repriced and
the timing and magnitude of their change.

The Company's liability-sensitive cash flow maturity and repricing gap at June
30, 2000, was $5.6 million within one year, or 1.9 percent of total
interest-earning assets. Fixed rate earning assets with maturities over five
years totaled 18.2 million, or 6.1 percent of total interest-earning assets. See
Table 1 for cash flow maturity and repricing gap. The maturity and repricing gap
between one and five years will adjust significantly each year through normal
loan and deposit activity. Based on the presently expected principal cash flows
and interest rates and the policies and procedures in place to monitor interest

                                       11

rate risk, management believes interest rate risk is being adequately managed
within reasonable earnings fluctuation tolerances.

The short-term liability-sensitivity position of the Company indicates that net
interest income over a one-year period will be impacted negatively when the
prime rate and deposit rates rise. Soon after the rate increases cease, net
interest income will be impacted negatively due to the continued time deposit
repricing at higher rates. The opposite is true in the event of falling rates.

The gap position after one year is of less concern because management has time
to respond to changing financial conditions with actions that reduce the impact
of the longer-term gap positions. However, fixed rate assets with maturities
over five years may include significant rate risk in the event of significant
market rate increases where the subsidiary banks have no opportunity to reprice
the earning assets.

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risks in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. At
June 30, 2000, the Company had unfunded commitments to extend credit of $47.5
million and outstanding stand-by letters of credit of $2.4 million. Since many
of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The
Company uses the same credit policies in establishing commitments and issuing
letters of credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Management does
not anticipate that funding obligations arising from these financial instruments
will adversely impact its ability to fund future loan growth or deposit
withdrawals.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The financial condition of the Company can be assessed by examining the changes
and relationships in the sources and uses of funds as shown in the consolidated
statements of cash flows. At June 30, 2000, the investment in bank premises and
equipment totaled $4.7 million, or approximately 18 percent of equity capital.

All investment securities are classified as available for sale. Net unrealized
losses on available for sale securities increased since June 1999 due to the
rise in market interest rates. These amounts are included in shareholders'
equity in other accumulated comprehensive income.

The Company announced a stock repurchase program on October 19, 1999 for up to
50,000 shares of common stock. Through June 30, 2000, 30,800 shares had been
repurchased at an average price of $19.32 per share. Repurchased shares will be
held in the Company's treasury and will be available for resale and for general
corporate purposes.

The Company's lending and investment policies continue to emphasize high quality
growth. Management is not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties

                                       12

that will have or that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the
liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Company.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has adopted capital
requirements that specify the minimum level for which no prompt corrective
action is required. In addition, the FDIC adopted FDIC insurance assessment
rates based on certain "well-capitalized" risk-based and equity capital ratios.
As of June 30, 2000, the Company and the subsidiary banks exceed the minimum
requirements necessary to be classified as "well-capitalized."

Total equity capital for the Company is $26.1 million, or 8.3% of total assets
at June 30, 2000. Tier 1 Capital is 11.50% of Risk-Weighted Assets at the same
date. The strong capital and earnings ratios allow the banks to continue their
aggressive growth objectives without having to raise additional capital.

</TABLE>

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

The Company's cash flow gap is $(5,630) within one year, or 1.9 percent of total
interest-earning assets. Fixed rate earning assets with maturities over five
years total $18,284 or 6.1 percent of total interest-earning 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 of 5 percent of the
net interest income.
