               GEORGIA BANK FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

                    September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Georgia Bank
Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Georgia Bank & Trust
Company. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in
the consolidation.

The financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998
and 1997 are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.   Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1997.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods have been made.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations which the Company may achieve for the entire year.

Note 2 - Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
(Statement 130).  Statement 130 establishes standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general
purpose financial statements.  The Company adopted Statement 130 effective
January 1, 1998.  The primary component of the differences between net income
and comprehensive income for the Company is net unrealized gains and losses on
investment securities.  Total comprehensive income for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 was 3,581,929 compared to $1,831,153 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997.  Total comprehensive income for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 was $2,216,806 compared to $838,124 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997.

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
(Statement 131).  Statement 131 is effective for financial statements for years
beginning after December 15, 1997.  The Company does not have any separate
segments that are considered material.

In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Statement
133).  Statement 133 is effective for financial statements for all fiscal
quarters beginning after June 15, 1999.  The company does not believe the
provisions of Statement 133 will have a significant impact on the financial
statements upon adoption.

In October 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
134, "Accounting for Mortgage Backed Securities Retained after the
Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage-Banking Enterprise,
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65" (SFAS 134).  SFAS 134 is effective for
the first quarter beginning after December 15, 1998.  The Company does not
believe the provisions of SFAS 134 will have a significant impact on the
financial statements upon adoption.

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

Performance Overview -- Net Income
- ----------------------------------

The Company's net income for the third quarter of 1998 was $775,000, which was
an increase of $137,000 (21.5%) compared to net income of $638,000 for the third
quarter of 1997.  Earnings per share for the quarter were $0.43 in 1998 compared
to $0.41 in 1997.  Net income for the first nine months of 1998 was $2,167,000,
an increase of $506,000 (30.5%) above net income of $1,661,000 for the first
nine months of 1997.  Total assets increased $10.3 million for the quarter to
$287.0 million (3.7%) and reflect an increase of $34.8 million (13.8%) from year
end 1997 and $46.4 million (19.3%) over September 30, 1997.

For the third quarter of 1998, as compared to the third quarter of 1997, the
increase in net income resulted from an increase in net interest income of
$425,000 and an increase in non-interest income of $186,000.  The total of these
increases in income were reduced by an increase in non-interest expense of
$280,000.  The provision for loan losses for the quarter was $200,000, an
increase from the prior year quarter of $89,000.  The net impact of these
changes was an increase in income before taxes of $218,000.  However, the
provision for income taxes increased to $455,000, up from $374,000 in the prior
year period.

The return on average assets for the Company was 1.07% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, compared to 0.96% for the same period last year.  The return
on average stockholders' equity was 11.49%, compared to 12.95% for the
comparable period in 1997.  The decline in return on average stockholders'
equity reflects the dilution from the 278,000 shares sold in the secondary
offering in the fall of 1997.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

Net interest income increased $425,000 (16.4%) over the third quarter of 1997
and $1.3 million (16.9%) during the first nine months over the comparable period
in 1997, primarily due to increases in earning asset balances.  Interest earning
assets increased $44.6 million (20.4%) over September 30, 1997 and $35.6 million
(15.6%) over December 31,1997.  Loans, the highest yielding component of
interest earning assets, increased $29.8 million (17.9%) over September 30, 1997
and $23.3 million (13.5%) over year end.  Investment securities increased $10.8
million (20.1%) over September 30, 1997 and $9.0 million (16.6%) from year end.
Federal Funds sold increased $4.1 million from September 30, 1997 and $3.4
million from year end 1997.

The Company's net interest margin through nine months of 1998 is 4.76%, an
increase over the 4.73% for the first nine months of 1997.  This increase is
primarily the result of improvement in the earning asset mix (a higher
percentage of higher yielding loans) as the deposit mix (percentage of demand
deposits and time deposits to total deposits) remained basically the same.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
Interest Income
- ---------------

Interest income increased $767,000 (16.03%) over the third quarter of 1997.
Interest income on loans increased $736,000 (19.07%) over the prior year third
quarter.  These increases are the result of significantly higher volumes.
Interest income earned on investment securities decreased $25,000 (2.8%) from
the comparable period in 1997.  The volume of investment securities increased
$10.8 million over the prior year quarter but interest income earned decreased
as a result of lower interest rates.  Interest income from Federal funds sold
increased from the third quarter of 1997 as deposit inflows were held
temporarily in anticipation of continuing loan growth.  Through nine months of
1998, interest income increased $2.2 million (16.3%) over the first nine months
of 1997, again as a result of the higher volume of interest earning assets.

Interest Expense
- ----------------

Interest expense increased $342,000 (15.6%) over the third quarter of 1997.
Interest expense on deposits increased $258,000 (12.3%) over the prior year
third quarter.  Interest expense on Federal funds purchased and securities sold
under repurchase agreements increased $2,000 (5.3%) over the third quarter of
1997.  Interest expense on loans and borrowings increased $82,000 (139%) over
the comparable quarter in 1997.  All increases reflect the higher levels of
deposits, Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase
agreements, and loans and borrowings (Federal Home Loan Bank advances).
Interest expense through nine months of 1998 increased $985,000 (10.6%) over the
comparable period in 1997.

Non-interest Income
- -------------------

Non-interest income (excluding investment securities gains and losses) for the
third quarter was $950,000, an increase of $172,000 (22.1%) above the third
quarter of 1997.  This increase is the result of increases in the volumes of
deposit accounts and the related service charges, fee income from origination
and sale of mortgages in the secondary market and retail investment fee income.
Total deposits increased $27.3 million (12.8%) over September 30, 1997.  Fees
from secondary mortgage market origination activities of $264,000 increased
$75,000 (39.7%) over the third quarter of 1997.  This increase reflects higher
secondary market mortgage volume generated as a result of  a continued favorable
economic climate that supports both home sales and refinancings. Retail
investment fee income was $33,000 for the third quarter of 1998.  This service
was first initiated late in the third quarter of 1997 so no income comparison
exists for the third quarter of 1997.  Non-interest income increased $715,000
(37.2%) for the first nine months of 1998 when compared to the same period in
1997.

Non-interest Expense
- --------------------

Non-interest expense totaled $2.5 million for the third quarter, an increase of
$280,000 (12.4%) over the comparable period in 1997.  Increases are attributable
to increases in salary and benefits expense of $136,000 (11.0%) a decrease in
occupancy expense of $12,000 (2.7%) from the

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
comparable quarter in 1997, and increases in other operating expenses of
$156,000 (26.6%).  A portion of the increases in other operating expenses is
attributable to the expenses associated with consolidating the audit,
bookkeeping, computer, credit administration, deposit operations, human
resources, loan operations and security departments in newly renovated buildings
located across the street from the Company's main office location.  Through nine
months of 1998, non-interest expense increased $852,000 (13.3%) over the
comparable period in 1997.

Overall, the increases in non-interest expense reflect continued growth in the
Company's local market share that requires additions to staff and operating
expenses associated with operating and supporting the growth of the Company's
seven full service offices.  The Company continues to add products that will
increase profitability in the future.  The increases in salary and benefits for
both the three and nine month comparative periods is the result of the increases
in secondary market mortgage originations and retail investment sales.  Both of
these activities compensate staff by commissions that are directly related to
the revenue produced.  Expense control and improvement in operating efficiencies
continues to be a primary focus of management.  The Company's operating
efficiency ratio (non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income
and non-interest income) for the third quarter of 1998 was 64.2%, an improvement
over 67.2% for the third quarter of 1997.

Income Taxes
- ------------

Income taxes in the third quarter of 1998 totaled $455,000, an increase of
$81,000 from the comparable period in 1997.  The Company has utilized all
previous tax credit carry-forwards for state tax purposes and now has a state
income tax liability.  As a result, effective tax rates for 1998 will continue
to reflect an increase over prior years.

Asset Quality
- -------------

The table on page 13 shows the current and prior period amounts of non-
performing assets.  Non-performing assets were $1.9 million at September 30,
1998, compared to $2.4 million at December 31, 1997 and $1.4 million at
September 30, 1997.  The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans and other
real estate was 1.22% at September 30, 1998, compared to 1.37% at December 31,
1997 and 0.87% at September 30, 1997.  The control and monitoring of non-
performing assets continues to be a management priority.

Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing were $396,000 at September 30,
1998 compared to $15,000 at December 31, 1997 and $110,000 at September 30,
1997.  Based upon the information available to it, management continues to
believe that the value of the collateral securing each loan is sufficient to
cover principal and interest.

Additions to the allowance for loan losses are made periodically to maintain the
allowance at an appropriate level based upon management's analysis of potential
risk in the loan portfolio.  The amount of the loan loss provision is determined
by an evaluation of the level of loans outstanding, the level of non-performing
loans, historical loan loss experience, delinquency trends, the amount of actual
losses charged to the allowance in a given period, and an assessment

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
of present and anticipated economic conditions.  A provision for losses in the
amount of $200,000 was charged to expense for the quarter ended September 30,
1998.  This provision for losses exceeded the net charge-offs for the third
quarter which totaled $77,000.  At September 30, 1998, the ratio of allowance
for loan losses to total loans was 1.29%, an increase from 1.22% at December 31,
1997 and 1.13% at September 30, 1997.  Management considers the current
allowance for loan losses appropriate based upon its analysis of the potential
risk in the portfolio, although there can be no assurance that the assumptions
underlying such analysis will continue to be correct.  Management does, however,
anticipate continued increases in the allowance for loan losses in response to
the generally accepted forecast of a weakening economy in 1999.  These increases
would be intended to provide for any deterioration that could occur in overall
asset quality attributable to weaker general economic conditions.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company's liquidity remains adequate to meet operating and loan funding
requirements.  The loan to deposit ratio at September 30, 1998 was 81.1%
compared to 82.0% at December 31, 1997 and 77.5% at September 30, 1997.  The
level of the loan to deposit ratio at December 31, 1997 indicates that during
the second half of 1997 loans increased more than deposits.  However, during the
first nine months of 1998, deposits increased more than loans, thus improving
liquidity.  Loans increased $6.1 million during the third quarter and $23.2
million during the first nine months while deposits increased $7.1 million
during the quarter and $31.2 million during the first nine months.

Shareholders' equity to total assets was 9.56% at September 30, 1998 compared to
9.46% at December 31, 1997.  This increase reflects the profitability
experienced during the first nine months of the year and the increased value of
the equity investment in Towne Services Inc. discussed in "Other Matters."  The
capital of the Company and the Bank exceeded all required regulatory guidelines
at September 30, 1998.  The Company's Tier 1 risk-based, total risk-based and
the leverage capital ratios were 11.76%, 12.91%, and 9.09%, respectively, at
September 30, 1998.  The schedule on page 14 reflects the current regulatory
capital levels in more detail, including comparisons to the regulatory minimums.

Other Matters
- -------------

In July of 1996 and in October 1997, the Company made equity investments
totaling $150,000 in Towne Services, Inc., a previously closely-held third party
company.  Through June 30, 1998, this investment of $150,000 was recorded as an
other asset on the Company's balance sheet.  The purpose of the investments was
to provide working capital to Towne Services, Inc. to acquire and implement a
processing system for equipment and vehicle leasing.  This system was then
provided to the Bank to support the addition of equipment and vehicle leasing as
one of the Bank's products.  The Bank also utilized an automated asset
management and financing (accounts receivable) system from Towne Services, Inc.

                                      10
<PAGE>
 
Towne Services, Inc. has designed and developed a system to electronically
process in-house consumer credit transactions of small and medium size retail
merchants.  Based upon the acceptance and success of this product, Towne
Services, Inc. has grown significantly and in July 1998, Towne Services, Inc.
sold 4,000,000 shares of common stock in an initial public offering to provide
additional capital and support its growth.  The shares were sold at $8.00 per
share.

At September 30, 1998, the Company held 383,400 common shares of Towne Services,
Inc. which are included in investment securities and categorized as available-
for-sale in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.  Under the terms and
conditions of the initial public offering, the Company cannot sell its shares in
Towne Services, Inc. until January 29, 1999.  The Company has not developed an
opinion with regards to its intention to hold or sell this investment at the end
of this 180 day period.  No prior public market has existed for the stock and
its market value is subject to all the circumstances that are reflected in the
price volatility of similar offerings and the equity markets generally.
Therefore, no assurances can be given or representation made as to the future
market value of the Company's investment in Towne Services, Inc.  At September
30, 1998 based upon the price per share of $5.50, the total market value of the
Company's shares, included as investment securities available for sale, was
$2,108,700.


Year 2000 Issue
- ---------------

The Company recognizes the scope and potential problems associated with the Year
2000 compliance program.  The Company has adopted a plan of action and has in
place a team of key managers to define and implement steps that will solve the
problem for all of the Company's mission critical systems and hardware including
embedded chip devices. The Company has progressed through the awareness,
assessment and renovations phases and is well into the validation phase where
testing is conducted and results analyzed to confirm the changes made to bring
the affected system into compliance and that no new problems surface as a result
of the changes.  It is anticipated that validation of mission critical systems
will be substantially complete by December 31, 1998.  All remaining elements of
the validation phase will be complete by March 31, 1999.  In addition to systems
compliance, the Company has evaluated all significant credit customer
relationships to determine any risks represented to the Company by the impact of
Year 2000 on customer operations.  Based on this evaluation, the Company is not
aware of more than the normal credit risk associated with these relationships
and no special additions to the allowance for loan losses are believed to be
necessary.  Also, the Company has incorporated Year 2000 compliance into its
Loan Policy, underwriting standards and loan documentation.

In addition to assessing the Company's information technology system and the
risks of customer credit relationships, the Company has also assessed its
electronic equipment, such as building security, environmental systems and other
devices which contain embedded electronic circuits.  With regards to these non-
information technology systems, the Company anticipates Year 2000 compliance no
later than March 31, 1999.

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
The management of the Company expects to incur expenses of approximately
$400,000, of which $250,000 has been budgeted for 1998 and $150,000 for 1999, to
modify its systems appropriately to accurately process information for the year
2000 and beyond.  The Company continues to evaluate appropriate courses of
corrective action including replacement of certain systems whose associated
costs would be recorded as assets and amortized.  Through September 30, 1998,
the Company has incurred costs of $236,000 for the replacement of non-compliant
hardware and software.  Other ongoing costs such as personnel expense for
testing is being expensed as incurred.  Management expects that the costs to
convert the Company's information systems to Year 2000 compliance will not have
a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or results
of operation.

While not anticipated at this time, the Company could potentially experience
disruptions to some aspects of its various activities and operations as a result
of non-compliant systems utilized by the Company or unrelated third parties.
Contingency plans are, therefore, under development to mitigate the extent of
any such disruption to business operation.  The Company contingency plans are
expected to be substantially complete by March 31, 1999.


Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
- ----------------------------------------------------

The Company may, from time to time, make written or oral forward-looking
statements, including statements contained in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and its reports to
shareholders. Such forward-looking statements are made based on management's
belief as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to,
management pursuant to "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  The Company's actual results may differ
materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements due
to a variety of factors, including governmental monetary and fiscal policies, on
deposit levels, loan demand, loan collateral values, securities portfolio values
and interest rate risk management; the effects of competition in the banking
business from other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage
banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage
firms, insurance companies, money market mutual funds and other financial
institutions operating in the Company's market area and elsewhere, including
institutions operating through the Internet; changes in government regulations
relating to the banking industry, including regulations relating to branching
and acquisitions; failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of
reserves for loan losses, including the value of collateral underlying
delinquent loans, changes in technology and other factors.  The Company cautions
that such factors are not exclusive.  The Company does not undertake to update
any forward-looking statements that may be made from time to time by, or on
behalf of, the Company.
