                GEORGIA BANK FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 1999


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 six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 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, 1998.

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 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 is effective for
financial statements for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. . In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging activities - Deferral of the effective date
of FASB Statement No. 133." SFAS 133, as amended, is now effective for all
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company
does not believe the provisions of SFAS 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 adopted SFAS 134
effective January 1, 1999. Such adoption did not have a significant impact on
the financial statements.

Note 3 - Comprehensive Income

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS 130). SFAS 130
establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its
components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. 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 (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
$1,010,812 compared to $1,365,123 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 was ($137,053) compared to $675,844 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998.

Note 4 - Shareholders' Equity

On July 22, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors approved a 15% stock dividend
payable on August 28, 1999 to shareholders of record on August 6, 1999.
Stockholders' equity at June 30, 1999 and all weighted average share and per
share information in the accompanying financial statements has been restated to
reflect the effect of the additional shares outstanding resulting from the stock
dividend.

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 second quarter of 1999 was $878,000, which was
an increase of $169,000 (23.8%) compared to net income of $709,000 for the
second quarter of 1998. Earnings per share for the quarter were $0.42 in 1999
compared to $0.34 in 1998. Net income for the first six months of 1999 was
$1,668,000, an increase of $277,000 (19.9%) above net income of $1,391,000 for
the first six months of 1998. Total assets increased $1.1 million for the
quarter to $323.5 million (0.3%) and reflect an increase of $28.1 million (9.5%)
from year-end 1998 and $46.8 million (16.9%) over June 30, 1998.

For the second quarter of 1999, as compared to the second quarter of 1998, the
increase in net income resulted from an increase in net interest income of
$425,000 and an increase in non-interest income of $60,000. The total of these
increases in income was reduced by an increase in non-interest expense of
$209,000. The provision for loan losses for the quarter was $197,000, an
increase from the prior year quarter of $180,000. This higher level of provision
results from the continuing increase in loans. The net impact of these changes
was an increase in income before taxes of $259,000. However, the provision for
income taxes increased to $518,000, an increase of $90,000 from the prior year
period.

The return on average assets for the Company was 1.07% for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, compared to 1.05% for the same period last year. The return on
average stockholders' equity was 11.43%, versus 11.34% for the comparable period
in 1998.

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

Net interest income increased $191,000 (6.1%) over the first quarter of 1999 and
$732,000 (12.8%) during the first six months over the comparable period in 1998,
primarily due to increases in loans outstanding as the earning asset mix has
improved. Interest earning assets increased $2.8 million (0.9%) over the first
quarter of 1999, $46.8 million (18.5%) over June 30, 1998 and $25.9 million
(9.4%) over December 31, 1998. Loans, historically the highest yielding
component of interest earning assets, increased $6.8 million (3.1%) during the
quarter, $15.7 million (7.5%) over year end and $35.1 million (18.5%) over the
comparable period in 1998. Investment securities increased $4.7 million (7.1%)
during the quarter, $8.2 million (13.0%) from year-end and increased $15.6
million (28.0%) over the comparable period in 1998. Federal funds sold increased
$1.9 million from year end 1998 and decreased $3.9 million from June 30, 1998.

Interest Income
- ---------------

Interest income increased $346,000 (6.2%) over the first quarter of 1999 and
$603,000 (11.3%) over the comparable quarter in 1998. Interest income on loans
increased $191,000 (4.1%) over the first quarter of 1999 and $478,000 (10.8%)
over the second quarter in 1998. These increases

                                       9
<PAGE>

are the result of significantly higher volumes. Interest income earned on
investment securities increased $151,000 (18.3%) over the first quarter of 1999
and increased $184,000 (23.2%) over the comparable period in 1998. The volume of
investment securities increased $4.7 million in the second quarter, and was
$15.6 million higher than at the end of the second quarter of 1998. Interest
income from Federal funds sold increased slightly ($4,000) during the second
quarter above first quarter 1999 levels but decreased $60,000 from the
comparable period in 1998. Generally lower levels of Federal funds sold were
maintained as loans and investment securities increased.

Interest income for the first six months of 1999 increased $1.1 million (10.4%)
over the first six months of 1998. These increases are the result of similar
significant increases in loan volumes and investment securities as reflected in
the quarterly results reported above.

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

Interest expense increased $155,000 (6.2%) over the first quarter of 1999 and
$178,000 (7.2%) over the second quarter of 1998. Interest expense on deposits
increased $78,000 (3.4%) over the first quarter of 1999 and $103,000 (4.5%) over
the second quarter of 1998. Interest expense on Federal funds purchased and
securities sold under repurchase agreements increased $46,000 (95.8%) from the
first quarter and increased $45,000 (90.1%) over the second quarter of 1998.
Interest expense on loans and borrowings increased $30,000 (22.2%) from the
first quarter of 1999 and increased $30,000 (22.2%) over the comparable quarter
in 1998. All increases reflect higher levels of deposits, Federal funds
purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, and loans and
borrowings which consist of Federal Home Loan Bank advances.

Interest expense for the first six months increased $356,000 (7.5%) when
compared to the first six months of 1998. As indicated in the quarterly results,
these six month comparisons reflect the increases in the volumes of deposits,
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements and
other borrowings.

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

Non-interest income (excluding investment securities gains and losses) for the
second quarter was $939,000, an increase of $11,000 (1.2%) above the first
quarter and $56,000 (6.3%) above the second quarter of 1998. The increases for
both periods are the result of increases in volumes of deposit accounts, fee
income from origination and sale of mortgages in the secondary market and retail
investment fee income. Demand deposits decreased $300,000 during the second
quarter of 1999 but reflect an increase of $2.0 million (5.0%) over the
comparable period in 1998. Total deposits decreased $3.8 million (1.4%) during
the second quarter of 1998 and increased $30.7 million (13.1%) over June 30,
1998. Fees from secondary mortgage market origination activities of $230,000
compare favorably (16.2% increase) to first quarter income of $198,000 and
reflect a $19,000 (9.0%) increase over the second quarter of 1998. This increase
reflects continued higher levels of secondary market mortgage volume and
favorable economic conditions that support both home sales and refinancings.
Retail investment fee income was

                                       10
<PAGE>

$56,000 for the second quarter, a decrease of $12,000 (17.9%) from the first
quarter and an increase of $16,000 (40.0%) over the second quarter of 1998.

Non-interest income (excluding investment securities gains and losses) for the
first six months of 1999 increased $175,000 (10.3%) when compared to the first
six months of 1998. This increase is the result of higher volumes of deposits
that have generated additional service charges and fees of $162,000 (12.8%
increase) and additional fee income from the origination and sale of mortgage
loans.

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

Non-interest expense totaled $2.6 million for the second quarter, an increase of
$75,000 (2.9%) over the first quarter of 1999 and an increase of $209,000
(8.6%), over the comparable period in 1998. Increases for the respective periods
are attributable to increases in salary and benefits expense of $59,000 (4.0%)
and $180,000 (13.5%) respectively, an increase in occupancy expense of $2,000
(0.5%) from the first quarter and an increase of $10,000 (2.5%) over the
comparable quarter in 1998, and increases in other operating expenses of $15,000
(2.1%) and $19,000 (2.7%), respectively.

Non-interest expense for the first six months of 1999 increased $496,000 (10.5%)
above the first six months of 1998. Increases in salary and benefits were
$366,000 (14.0%) and occupancy expense increased $32,000 (4.1%).
Other operating expenses increased $99,000 (7.4%)

The increases for both quarterly and six months periods are the result of the
continued expansion in the Company's local market that is reflected in additions
to staff and the higher occupancy and operating expense associated with
operating seven full service offices and the resulting overall growth of the
Company. The Company continues to add products that will increase profitability
in the future. The significant increases in salary and benefits for both
comparative periods is the result of the increases in secondary market mortgage
originations and retail investment sales. Both of these lines of business
compensate staff by commissions that are directly related to production volume.
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 second quarter of 1999 was 62.5%, an improvement over 64.8% for
the second quarter of 1998.

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

Income taxes in the second quarter of 1999 totaled $518,000, an increase of
$70,000 from the first quarter of 1999 and an increase of $90,000 from the
comparable period in 1998. Income taxes for the first six months of 1999
increased $98,000 (11.3%) to $966,000 as compared to $868,000 for the first six
months of 1998.

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

The table on page 16 shows the current and prior period amounts of
non-performing assets. Non-performing assets were $2.4 million at June 30, 1999,
compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 1998 and $2.4 million at June 30, 1998.
The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and other real estate was
1.05% at June 30, 1999, compared to 1.40% at December 31, 1998 and 1.28% at June
30, 1998. The control and monitoring of non-performing assets continues to be
management priority.

Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing were $43,000 at June 30, 1999
compared to $44,000 at December 31, 1998 and $13,000 at June 30, 1998.

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 of economic
conditions. A provision for losses in the amount of $197,000 was charged to
expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. At June 30, 1999, the ratio of
allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.32%, an increase from 1.30% at
December 31, 1998 and 1.26% at June 30, 1998. 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.

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

The Company's liquidity remains adequate to meet operating and loan funding
requirements. The loan to deposit ratio at June 30, 1999 was 84.79% compared to
83.09% at December 31, 1998 and 80.9% at June 30, 1998. The increasing level of
the loan to deposit ratio reflects that loans continue to grow at a slightly
faster rate than deposits. Loans increased $6.8 million during the quarter and
$15.7 million during the first six months while deposits decreased $3.8 million
during the quarter and increased $13.5 million during the first six months of
1999.

Shareholders' equity to total assets was 9.16% at June 30, 1999 compared to
9.69% at December 31, 1998. This decrease is reflective of the growth
experienced during the first six months of the year. The capital of the Company
and the Bank exceeded all required regulatory guidelines at June 30, 1999. The
Company's Tier 1 risk-based, total risk-based and the leverage capital ratios
were 10.99%, 12.65%, and 8.65%, respectively, at June 30, 1999. The schedule on
page 17 reflects the current regulatory capital levels in more detail, including
comparisons to the regulatory minimums.

In 1996 and 1997, the Company made equity investments totaling $150,000 in Towne
Services, Inc. These investments were for the purpose of providing Towne
Services, Inc. with capital to acquire and implement a processing system for
equipment and vehicle leasing. Towne Services, Inc. also provides processing
services for an automated asset management (accounts receivable)

                                       12
<PAGE>

system. Based upon the acceptance and success of its services and the resulting
growth of the company, Towne Services sold 4,000,000 shares of common stock in
an initial public offering in July of 1998 at a price of $8.00 per share.

At June 30, 1999, 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. The Company
continues to analyze whether to hold or sell its holdings in Towne Services,
Inc. Until July 1998 no public market existed for the stock of Towne Services,
Inc., and its market value is subject to all the circumstances reflected in the
price volatility of similar offerings and the equity markets generally. At June
30, 1999, based upon the per share price of $7.625, the total market value of
the Company's shares in Towne Services, Inc. was $2,923,425.

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 to address 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 renovation 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 problems surface as a result of
the changes. The validation of mission critical systems was complete by June 30,
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 upon 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 it
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 believes it is in substantial
Year 2000 compliance as of June 30, 1999.

The management of the Company expects to incur total expenses of approximately
$450,000, of which $250,000 was budgeted for 1998 and $200,000 for 1999, to
modify its information systems appropriately to accurately process information
for the year 2000 and beyond. In 1998, the Company incurred costs of $332,000
for the replacement of non-compliant hardware and software. For the first six
months of 1999, the Company has incurred costs of $55,000. The associated costs
of certain replacement systems have been recorded as assets and amortized. Other
ongoing costs such as personnel expense for testing are being expensed as
incurred. Management expects that the costs to convert the Company's information
systems to Year 2000 compliance will not have material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements or

                                       13
<PAGE>

results of operations. The costs of the Year 2000 project are based upon
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions
of future events including the continued availability of certain resources,
third party modification plans and other factors. There can be no guarantee that
these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ materially from
those plans. Specific factors that might cause such material differences
include, but are not limited to, the availability and cost of personnel trained
in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and
similar uncertainties.

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 have been developed to mitigate the extent of any such
disruption to business operation. The Company's contingency plans were complete
as of June 30, 1999. The Company is proceeding with the manual testing
components of the contingency plans and expects to be completed by August 31,
1999.

In its efforts to achieve Year 2000 compliance, as of June 30, 1999, the Company
believes it has met all the regulatory requirements of the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC").

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices
- ----------------------------------------

Inflation generally increases the cost of funds and operating overhead and to
the extent loans and other assets bear variable rates, the yields on such
assets. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and
liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the performance of a
financial institution than the effects of general levels of inflation. Although
interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction and to the same
extent as the prices of goods and services, increases in inflation generally
have resulted in increased interest rates. In addition, inflation can increase a
financial institution's cost of goods and services purchased, the cost of
salaries and benefits, occupancy expense and similar items. Inflation and
related increases in interest rates generally decrease the market value of
investments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings, and
stockholders' equity. Mortgage originations and refinancings tend to slow as
interest rates increase, and can reduce the Company's earnings from such
activities and the income from the sale of residential mortgage loans in the
secondary market.

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. Statements made in such documents, other than those concerning
historical information, should be considered forward-looking and subject to
various risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are made based
upon 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

                                       14
<PAGE>

results anticipated in forward-looking statements due to a variety of
factors, including governmental monetary and fiscal policies, 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 governmental regulation 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, and other
factors. The Company cautions that such factors are not exclusive. The Company
does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from
time to time by, or on behalf of, the Company.
