               GEORGIA BANK FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                              September 30, 2000


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated 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 nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
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, 1999.

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.

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 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $3,043,847
compared to $570,655 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 was $1,040,118 compared to $440,157 for
the three months ended September 30, 1999.

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

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 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.

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

The Company's net income for the third quarter of 2000 was $1,020,000, which was
a decrease of $315,000 (23.6%) compared to net income of $1,335,000 for the
third quarter of 1999.  Earnings per share for the three months ended September
30, 2000 were $0.49 compared to $0.64 for the three months ended September 30,
1999.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a non-recurring net gain
resulting from the sales and donation of investment securities which occurred in
the third quarter of 1999 (see further discussion under "non-interest income"
below).  In addition, the Company recorded a higher provision for loan losses in
the third quarter of 1999 due to the growth in the Company's loan portfolio and
modifications to risk factors in the Company's loan loss reserve analysis.

                                       8
<PAGE>

Net income for the first nine months of 2000 was $2,905,000, a decrease of
$98,000 (3.3%) when compared to net income of $3,003,000 for the first nine
months of 1999. Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
were $1.39 compared to $1.43 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The
decrease was primarily attributable to the non-recurring net gain mentioned
above offset by an increase in net interest income for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 which was a result of continued growth in loans as well as
higher yielding investment securities. The annualized return on average assets
for the Company was 1.04% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared
to 1.25% for the same period last year. The annualized return on average
stockholders' equity was 12.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
compared to 13.60% for the comparable period in 1999. The 2000 returns have also
been impacted by start-up costs for the trust department and costs related to
the mortgage operations expansion.

Total assets of $380.3 million at September 30, 2000 reflects an increase of
$38.2 million (11.2%) from year-end 1999 and an increase of $44.9 million
(13.4%) over September 30, 1999.  Total assets at December 31, 1999 included
higher cash and federal funds sold balances in anticipation of funding any Year
2000 cash needs.  These funds were reduced in early 2000 and invested in higher
yielding investment securities.  The growth in total assets has been largely due
to growth in the loan portfolio.  Total loans at September 30, 2000 were $265.7
million which represented an increase of $30.3 million (12.9%) from December 31,
1999 and an increase of $34.2 million (14.8%) from September 30, 1999.

Total deposits have grown $16.1 million (5.7%) since December 31, 1999 and $28.5
million (10.5%) since September 30, 1999.  Given the slower growth rate in
deposits than loans, the Company has increased its securities sold under
repurchase agreements and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank.  The balance
of securities sold under repurchase agreements has increased $16.6 million
(146.9%) from December 31, 1999 and $9.5 million (51.6%) since September 30,
1999.  Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank have increased by $2.0 million
since December 31, 1999 and $3.0 million since September 30, 1999.

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

Net interest income increased $477,000 (14.1%) in the third quarter of 2000
compared to the third quarter of 1999 and $1,413,000 (14.4%) during the first
nine months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.  The increase in both
the three-month and nine-month periods is due primarily to an increase in
interest income resulting from an increase in the volume of loans for the nine-
month period ended September 30, 2000 as well as higher interest rates on new
loans and variable rate loans tied to prime.  Interest earning assets increased
$38.5 million (12.17%) over December 31, 1999.  Loans, historically the highest
yielding component of interest earning assets, increased $30.7 million (12.8%)
over December 31, 1999.  Investment securities increased $11.5 million (17.0%)
over December 31, 1999.

                                       9
<PAGE>

The increase in interest income was offset by an increase in interest expense
for both the three month and nine month periods.  The increase in interest
expense was a result of increases in interest bearing deposit balances of $11.2
million (4.7%) since December 31, 1999 coupled with higher interest rates.  In
addition, higher volumes of other borrowings to fund loan growth contributed to
the increase in interest expense.

The Company's net interest margin increased from 4.19% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 to 4.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 for the
reasons noted above.

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

Non-interest income decreased $1.2 million (51.0%) compared to the three month
period ended September 30, 1999 and $1.4 million (32.3%) compared to the nine
month period ended September 30, 1999.  The decrease in non-interest income was
attributable to a non-recurring gain on the sale of 223,500 shares and donation
of 125,000 shares of Towne Services, Inc. common stock to Georgia Bank
Foundation, Inc. in the third quarter of 1999.  The Company recognized a gain of
$1.8 million on the sale and donation of the common stock which was offset by a
loss on the sale of other investment securities of $291,000.  The other
investment securities were sold to allow the Company to reinvest in higher
yielding investment securities.  Additionally, the Company has experienced
increases in service charges and fees on deposits of $68,000 (9.9%) over third
quarter 1999 and $102,000 (5.2%) over the nine-month period ended September 30,
1999 due to increases in volumes of deposit accounts.  The gain on sale of loans
increased $197,000 (120.1%) over the third quarter 1999 and $7,000 (1.2%) over
the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 which is attributable to the
expansion of mortgage operations in June 2000 and the resulting increase in
mortgage loan originations. Also, miscellaneous income increased $22,000 (42.7%)
over third quarter 1999 and $53,000 (28.3%) over the nine-month comparable 1999
period.  These increases are primarily attributable to increases in retail
investment income of $14,000 over the third quarter of 1999 and $29,000 over the
nine-month comparable 1999 period.

                                       10
<PAGE>

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

Non-interest expense decreased $36,000 (1.1%) from the third quarter of 1999 and
increased $409,000 (4.8%) over the first nine months of 1999. Salary and
benefits expense increased $350,000 (21.9%) in the third quarter of 2000
compared to the third quarter of 1999 and increased $662,000 (14.5%) for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2000 when compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1999. The increases in salary and benefits expense for both
the quarter and nine-month period are the result of the establishment of a trust
department in late March and the expansion of the mortgage department in June
and the continued expansion in the Company's local market that is reflected in
additions to staff.  Commissions that are based upon production, such as the
mortgage and retail investment functions, have increased over the comparable
1999 quarter and nine-month period due to increased sales production in these
areas. Moderate increases in occupancy expense of $39,000 (9.4%) over the third
quarter of 1999 and $41,000 (3.3%) over the comparable nine months of 1999
resulted from the Company utilizing existing owned facilities for the trust and
mortgage operations expansion and for other staff additions. The decrease in
other operating expenses of $425,000 (33.5%) for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and $294,000 (10.9%) for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 is primarily a result of the donation expense of $480,000 recognized in the
third quarter of 1999 in conjunction with the donation of Towne Services, Inc.
common stock to Georgia Bank Foundation, Inc.

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

Income taxes in the third quarter of 2000 totaled $527,000, an increase of
$66,000 over the third quarter of 1999 and a decrease of $18,000 from the
comparable nine month period in 1999.  The effective tax rate for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was 34.1% and 34.7%, respectively.
Income taxes are provided in interim periods based on the estimated effective
tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year.

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

The table on page 14 shows the current and prior period amounts of non-
performing assets.  Non-performing assets were $2.0 million at September 30,
2000, compared to $1.2 million at December 31, 1999 and $2.1 million at
September 30, 1999.  The ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and other
real estate was 0.75% at September 30, 2000, compared to 0.50% at December 31,
1999 and 0.89% at September 30, 1999.  The control and monitoring of non-
performing assets continues to be a priority of management.

Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing were $31,000 at September 30,
2000 compared to $44,000 at December 31, 1999 and $25,000 at September 30, 1999.

                                       11
<PAGE>

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 $250,000 was charged to
expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 compared to $591,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999.   At September 30, 2000, the ratio of
allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.48% compared to 1.50% at December
31, 1999 and 1.47% at September 30, 1999.  The allowance for loan losses  was
slightly lower at September 30, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999 due to an
increase in charge-offs during the third quarter of 2000.  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 September 30, 2000 was 90.14%
compared to 84.43% at December 31, 1999 and 86.99% at September 30, 1999.  The
increasing level of the loan to deposit ratio reflects that loans continue to
grow at a faster rate than deposits as noted previously.  As a result, the
Company has utilized borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and securities
sold under repurchase agreements to fund additional growth. At September 30,
2000, the Company had an additional $7.0 million available on its advances from
the Federal Home Loan Bank.

Stockholders' equity to total assets was 8.53% at September 30, 2000 compared to
8.72% at December 31, 1999.  This decrease reflects the growth of the Company
during the first nine months of the year.  The capital of the Company and the
Bank exceeded all required regulatory guidelines at September 30, 2000.  The
Company's Tier 1 risk-based, total risk-based and the leverage capital ratios
were 11.48%, 12.74%, and 8.90%, respectively, at September 30, 2000.  The
schedule on page 15 reflects the current regulatory capital levels in more
detail, including comparisons to the regulatory minimums.

                                       12

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.
