PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
(The information contained in the following summary is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the more detailed information and financial statements
appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.)
<TABLE>
<C> <S>
The Company........................... SNB Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding
company organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Georgia. Its
principal offices are in Macon,
Georgia, and its primary source of
earnings is Security National Bank, a
wholly-owned subsidiary commercial
bank (the "Bank").
Securities Outstanding................ As of the date of the offering, there
were 1,362,800 shares of the Company's
Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Securities Offered.................... 272,560 shares of the $1.00 par value
of Common Stock of SNB Bancshares,
Inc.
Price of the Shares................... $13.50 per share
Plan of Distribution.................. The shares are first being offered to
existing shareholders of the Company
on a pro-rata basis pursuant to
Warrants which have been issued by the
Company without consideration. Each
such shareholder of record on the date
of the Prospectus will be entitled to
purchase pursuant to those Warrants
one (1) share of the Common Stock
offered hereunder for each five (5)
shares of the Company's Common Stock
owned by such shareholder on the date
of this Prospectus. The Warrants must
be exercised on or before October 30,
1996 and will expire if not exercised
on or before that date. The Warrants
issued by the Company are non-
transferable, and may only be
exercised in those states in which the
underlying securities of the Company
are registered or are exempt from
registration. Existing shareholders
may subscribe for shares in addition
to those which they are entitled to
purchase pursuant to the Warrants, but
all such excess subscriptions are
subject to acceptance by the Board of
Directors of the Company. Excess
subscriptions will be satisfied from
shares which are the subject of any
unexercised Warrants. The underlying
shares of the unexercised Warrants may
also be offered to the public at the
same price as offered to existing
shareholders. The shares will be
offered by the Company and its
directors through the officers,
directors and employees of the Company
without the assistance of an
underwriter or dealer.
Use of Proceeds....................... The proceeds of the offering will be
used by the Company for general
corporate purposes, including
furnishing the capital required to
continue the anticipated growth of its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Security
National Bank, and to permit the
potential establishment of additional
offices of the Bank and to possibly
fund an acquisition of another
financial institution by the Company.
It is anticipated that a substantial
portion of the proceeds of the
offering will be infused as additional
capital into the Bank. However, the
Company is not committed to a specific
use of the proceeds of the offering.

Determination of Offering Price....... There is no established public market
for the Common Stock of the Company.
The exercise price of the Warrants and
the offering price of the Common Stock
has been established by the Company
based, among other things, upon the
Company's historical and anticipated
financial performance and the
perceived demand for its shares, and
the price is not necessarily related
to the Company's asset value, net
worth, or other established indicia of
value.
The Warrants are not transferable.
Accordingly, there is no public market
for the Warrants issued by the
Company.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the shares of Common Stock of the Company offered hereby
involves a substantial degree of risk, and a decision to invest in the Company
through the purchase of its Common Stock should be made only after a careful
consideration of the risk factors set forth herein. In particular, but without
limitation, persons considering an investment in the Company's Common Stock
should consider the following:
NO ESTABLISHED TRADING MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK OR WARRANTS
There is no established trading market for shares of the Company's Common
Stock, and the stock of the Company is not quoted on the NASDAQ stock market
or traded on any stock exchange. Although J. C. Bradford & Co. and Robinson-
Humphrey Co., Inc. make a market for the Company's Common Stock, management
has no reason to expect that an established trading market will develop in the
shares of the Company's Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
There is no established public market for the Common Stock of the Company.
The exercise price of the Warrants and the offering price of the Common Stock
have been established by the Company based, among other things, upon the
Company's historical and anticipated financial performance and the perceived
demand for its Common Stock, and the price is not necessarily related to the
Company's asset value, net worth, or other established indicia of value. SEE
"DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE". Accordingly, the market value of the Common
Stock following this offering may fall below the public offering price.
The Warrants may not be traded or transferred, and accordingly there is no
established trading market for the Warrants, nor will a public market for the
Warrants develop subsequent to their issuance. SEE GENERALLY, "DETERMINATION
OF OFFERING PRICE".
DILUTIVE EFFECT OF EXERCISE OF FOUNDERS WARRANTS
Security National Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued
to its founding directors and executive officers Warrants (the "Founders
Warrants") to purchase shares of the Common Stock of Security National Bank in
connection with its formation and organization in 1988. Upon the formation of
SNB Bancshares, Inc. as a bank holding company and the exchange of shares by
shareholders of the Bank for shares of Common Stock of the Company, the
Warrants were converted into the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock
of the Company, and the Company assumed all of the obligations of the Bank for
the Founders Warrants. As of the date of this prospectus, the founding
directors and executive officers of the Bank and their transferees, most of
whom are presently directors and executive officers of the Company, hold
Founders Warrants to purchase in the aggregate 359,760 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at a price of $4.165 per share. The exercise price is
considerably less than the offering price of the Company's Common Stock and
its book value as of June 30, 1996, and accordingly the exercise of those
options will dilute the per share book value of the Company's Common Stock.
The organizer's Warrants will expire in November, 1998 if not exercised by
that time; it is expected that all Warrants will be exercised. The dilutive
effect of the exercise of those options is set forth in the Summary Financial
Information of the Company set forth hereinafter. SEE GENERALLY, "SELECTED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA".
In addition, the shareholders of the Company approved in 1996 an Incentive
Stock Option Plan (the "Incentive Plan") authorizing the Company to issue
options to purchase 65,000 shares of its $1.00 par value Common Stock
(adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split as of June 1, 1996) to
certain executive officers and key employees of the Company and of Security
National Bank at a price deemed to be the fair market value of those shares as
of the date of the grant of the options, as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company. Pursuant to the Incentive Plan, certain key
employees of the Company and of the Bank have been granted options to purchase
60,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $10.75 per share,
after adjustment for the two-for-one stock split as of June 1, 1996. The
options vest and are exercisable over a period
3
<PAGE>
of five (5) years from the date of the grant (May 2, 1996), but must be
exercised in any event no later than ten (10) years from the date the options
were granted. It is anticipated that as of the date of the exercise of such
options by the holders of the same, the exercise price will be considerably
less than the per share book value of the shares of the Company, and will
result in a commensurate dilution of the per share book value of the Company's
shares.
RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS
The earnings of the Company consist almost entirely of dividends paid from
the Bank. The Bank is restricted by law with respect to dividends which can be
paid to the Company. Dividends may not exceed, without the prior approval of
the Comptroller of the Currency, the total of the Bank's net profits for the
year plus its retained profits for the preceding two years, less any required
transfers to surplus, or an amount greater than its net profits then on hand
less losses and bad debts.
REGULATION
Both the Company and the Bank, are subject to considerable regulation by
both federal and state governments and regulatory agencies. Regulations
promulgated by the regulatory agencies exercising regulatory control over the
Company and the Bank restrict in many respects the activities in which the
Company and the Bank can engage. Changes in those regulations can
significantly affect the operations of the Company and the Bank. Laws and
regulations promulgated by federal and state governments and agencies address,
without limitation, establishment of branch offices, the maintenance of
adequate capital by the Company and the Bank, necessary levels of reserves
against deposits, and the types and amounts of loans and investments. The
Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
possess extensive powers to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices by
the entities which they regulate. SEE GENERALLY, "BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY".
COMPETITION AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The Company and the Bank operate in a very competitive market and compete
with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, finance companies,
credit unions, and agricultural credit associations. A recent trend toward
deregulation of the financial services industry is likely to result in
increased financial competition from non-banking financial institutions, such
as insurance companies, securities brokerage funds, and money market mutual
funds.
In addition, the financial performance of the Company and the Bank is in
large measure dependent upon the economic conditions of the Company's market
area. An adverse change in those economic conditions could severely impair the
ability of the Bank's customers to repay extensions of credit, and therefore
have a material adverse impact on the results of operations of the Bank and
the Company. SEE GENERALLY, "BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY--MARKET AREA OF THE
COMPANY".
VOTING CONTROL
Directors and executive officers of the Company are the beneficial owners,
in the aggregate, of approximately 39.90% of the Company's outstanding Common
Stock, and if all currently exercisable warrants held by directors and
executive officers of the Company were exercised, such persons would be
beneficial owners of approximately 51.71% of the Company's outstanding stock.
Each of those directors and executive officers will be afforded an opportunity
to purchase the shares of the Company's Common Stock offered hereunder on the
same terms and conditions as are extended to other shareholders of the
Company, based on the number of shares owned as of the record date, but
excluding any shares which such directors and executive officers have a right
to purchase pursuant to unexercised warrants or the Founders Warrants. It is
not anticipated that directors and executive officers of the Company, as a
group, upon the conclusion of the offering will own beneficially less than the
percentage of the Company's outstanding Common Stock presently owned by them.
The directors and
4
<PAGE>
executive officers, although not parties to any voting trust or other
agreements with respect to the voting of their shares, as a group exert
considerable influence on the outcome of all matters submitted to the
Company's shareholders for approval. SEE GENERALLY, "SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF
CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT".
NET INTEREST MARGIN
The Company conducts virtually all of its operations through its wholly-
owned subsidiary, the Bank. The income of the Bank, and thus of the Company,
is primarily determined by the difference between the interest earned on the
Bank's assets and the interest paid on its deposits and liabilities. The net
interest rate margin is the difference between the average interest rate
earned by the Bank on its assets and the average interest rate paid on
deposits and liabilities. The net interest rate margin has declined in recent
years for most financial institutions, including the Bank. The net interest
rate margin was 5.60% during 1994, 5.20% during 1995, and 5.13% during the
first six months of 1996. A continued decline in the net interest rate margin
will adversely affect the profitability of the Bank and therefore of the
Company.
ADEQUACY OF ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES; LOAN CONCENTRATION
There are certain risks inherit in making all loans, including risks with
respect to the period of time over which loans may be repaid, risks resulting
from changes in economic and industry conditions, risks inherit in dealing
with individual borrowers and, in the case of collateralized loans, risks
resulting from uncertainties as to the future value of the collateral.
The Bank maintains a reserve to protect against future loan losses. The
allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged to expenses. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses
when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely.
The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb
possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on
evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The
adequacy of the loan loss reserve is evaluated periodically by management. The
allowance for potential loan losses is based upon a percentage of the
outstanding balances and for specific loans when their ultimate collectibility
is considered questionable.
The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1996 was 1.66% of total loans
outstanding, compared to an allowance for loan losses of 1.75% as of December
31, 1995 and 1.95% as of December 31, 1994. The provision for loan losses in
1995 was less than in prior years, reflecting an improvement in the quality of
the collateral held as security on loans and the ability of debtors to service
their indebtedness. Management considers the allowance for loan losses as of
June 30, 1996 adequate to cover potential losses in the loan portfolio.
However, should the Company's allowance for loan losses prove to be
inadequate, future additions to that allowance for loan losses will result in
a decrease in the Company's net income and could result in a decrease in or
elimination of the Company's dividends.
The loan portfolio of the Company has a significant concentration in
mortgage loans. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately $45
million in loans secured by real estate outstanding, of which approximately
$19 million were loans secured by family residential properties and
approximately $23.6 million were loans secured by non-residential properties.
In addition, the Company has a significant concentration of its loans secured
by hotel properties and to religious organizations. The ultimate
collectibility of the loans is largely dependent upon economic conditions in
the Middle Georgia area, and accordingly in the event of an adverse change in
the economy of that market area or in the hotel industry the Company's
allowance for loan losses could prove inadequate.

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA
The following selected financial data is derived from the financial
statements of the Company. The data for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995 (which is unaudited) and for the years ended December 31, 1995 through
1991 is derived from financial statements which reflect, in the opinion of
management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to summarize fairly
such information for such periods. Information for the Company prior to
September 30, 1994 is for the Bank; on that date, each share of Bank Common
Stock was exchanged for one share of the Company's Common Stock. All per share
data has been revised to reflect the declaration as of March 20, 1995 of a 20%
stock dividend, and a two-for-one stock split as of June 1, 1996 effected as a
100% stock dividend. The following data should be read in conjunction with the
Company's consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained
elsewhere in this prospectus.

of June 30, 1996, is primarily attributable to the issuance of 162,800 shares
of its Common Stock (adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split) in the
first quarter of 1996, resulting in an additional $1,750,100 of equity
capital; otherwise, the growth of the Company during that time has resulted in
an expected decline in its capital-to-assets ratio.
The Company is presently well capitalized. Current regulatory standards
require bank holding companies to maintain a minimum risk based capital ratio
of qualifying total capital to risk weighted assets of 8.0%, with at least
4.0% of the capital consisting of Tier 1 capital, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio
of at least 4.0%. Additionally, the regulatory agencies define a well
capitalized bank as one which has a leverage ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1
capital ratio of at least 6%, and a total risk based capital ratio of at least
10%. As of June 30, 1996, the Company's total risk based capital ratio, Tier 1
capital ratio and Tier 1 leverage ratio were all in compliance at 13.90%,
12.65% and 9.39%, respectively.
Nevertheless, the Company anticipates continued growth in its assets,
although at a somewhat lower rate, and the proceeds of this offering will
enable the Company to support that growth in assets with adequate capital.
Pending the use of the proceeds of this offering for such purposes, the
proceeds of the offering will be invested in a variety of short-term assets,
including federal funds, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and similar
investments.

In addition, it is the belief of management that the establishment of
additional bank offices in Bibb County, Georgia are essential to the continued
growth of the Bank, and recent changes in Georgia's branch banking laws permit
the Bank to establish branches in other counties. Management of the Company
deems it likely that the Bank will establish additional bank offices or
branches in the near future and the proceeds of the offering may be used to
support the expenditure of funds necessary to acquire or establish additional
bank facilities, including the acquisition and construction of additional
offices and the purchase of furniture and equipment used in connection
therewith.
The Company does not anticipate material changes in the allocation of the
net proceeds of the offering, but it reserves the right to alter the use of
the proceeds for all general corporate purposes which may be permitted under
applicable law.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The stock of the Company is not traded in the over-the-counter market or on
any stock exchange, nor is the Company's Common Stock actively traded.
Management is frequently advised, however, of the terms upon which shares of
its Common Stock are traded. Management of the Company is aware of the trade
of 26,640 shares of its Common Stock in 1994; 4,320 shares of its Common Stock
in 1995; and 2,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock through July 31, 1996.
According to information available to the Company, its stock traded in the
following ranges:

</TABLE>
The prices reflected in the above table have been adjusted to reflect the
issuance by the Company as of March 20, 1995, of a 20% stock dividend paid to
shareholders of record of the Company, as a result of which the Company issued
an additional 100,000 shares of its Common Stock, and a two-for-one stock
split on June 1, 1996.
In January, 1996, the Company issued an additional 162,800 shares of its
Common Stock, primarily to newly elected directors and executive officers of
the Company, at a price of $10.75 per share (adjusted to reflect the
subsequent two-for-one stock split) which management believes to have
approximated the market value of such stock at the time of its issuance.
The offering price of $13.50 per share has been determined by management of
the Company based upon a number of considerations, including the Company's
historical, current and projected financial performance; the perceived demand
for the Company's Common Stock; recent bid and ask prices for the Company's
Common Stock; the prices at which shares of the Company's Common Stock have
traded in recent months; the range of prices at which shares of similarly
traded financial institutions' common stock have traded in recent months; and
the prices paid in connection with the acquisitions of similarly situated
financial institutions in recent months. The offering price does not
necessarily represent the actual value of the Common Stock, and the market
value of the Common Stock following this offering may fall below the public
offering price.

The Warrants are issued by the Company to its shareholders of record as of
September 20, 1996, at no charge to the shareholders. The Warrants are not
transferable, and there is no public market for the Warrants.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company is offering hereby a maximum of 272,560 shares of its $1.00 par
value Common Stock at a price of $13.50 per share. Those shares are first
being offered to existing shareholders of the Company pursuant to Warrants
issued by the Company to its shareholders which entitle shareholders of record
as of September 20, 1996, to purchase one (1) share of the Company's Common
Stock for each five (5) shares owned by him or her as of the Record Date. The
Company had outstanding on the date of this Prospectus 1,362,800 shares of its
$1.00 par value Common Stock, and the holders of those shares will be entitled
to purchase in the aggregate 272,560 shares of the Company's Common Stock. No
fractional shares shall be issued.
Any shareholder desiring to exercise his or her Warrant to purchase shares
of the Company offered hereunder must properly complete the form of exercise
attached as Exhibit "A" to the Warrant and insure that it is received by SNB
Bancshares, Inc. on or before October 30, 1996. ANY WARRANT WHICH IS NOT
EXERCISED AS OF THAT DATE SHALL EXPIRE AND BE OF NO FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT.
The exact number of shares each shareholder has a right to purchase is set
out in the Warrant which accompanies this Prospectus.
WARRANTS ISSUED TO SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY WILL EXPIRE AND BE OF NO
FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT UNLESS EXERCISED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH
WARRANTS ON OR BEFORE OCTOBER 30, 1996. IN ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVELY EXERCISED,
TENDER OF THE PURCHASE PRICE AND THE FORM OF EXERCISE ATTACHED TO THE WARRANT
MUST BE DELIVERED, PERSONALLY OR BY MAIL, TO THE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY AT 700
WALNUT STREET, P.O. BOX 4748, MACON, GEORGIA 31208-4748 ON OR BEFORE OCTOBER

PURCHASE FRACTIONAL SHARES. THE NUMBER OF WARRANTS THAT EACH SUBSCRIBING
SHAREHOLDER IS ENTITLED TO PURCHASE IS SET FORTH IN THE WARRANT ISSUED AND
DELIVERED TO SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY.
Any shareholder desiring to subscribe to shares in excess of those which he
or she is entitled to purchase pursuant to the Warrants may subscribe to
purchase such additional shares by so indicating on the form of warrant which
is enclosed with the Prospectus. All such subscriptions are, however, subject
to acceptance by the Company's Board of Directors in its sole discretion.
Accepted subscriptions for shares in excess of a shareholder's pro rata
portion of the shares offered hereunder will be satisfied from the shares
underlying those Warrants which are not exercised. The Company will notify
each shareholder if all or a portion of such excess subscription has been
accepted by the Board of Directors within sixty (60) days of the deadline for
exercising the Warrants. Any accepted subscription shall become a binding
contract of purchase and sale between the subscribing shareholder and the
Company; however, if the purchase price is not paid within ten (10) days of
notice of acceptance of the subscription, the Company shall have the right to
cancel the subscription.
Any shares which are not purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants
will also be offered to other persons who are residents of the State of
Georgia and who are not shareholders of the Company at the same price as the
shares are offered to shareholders of the Company, after first delivering to
them a copy of the Prospectus. Such subscriptions are subject to acceptance by
the Company's Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and accepted
subscriptions for such shares will be satisfied from the underlying shares
which are the subject of unexercised Warrants. All subscriptions by persons
who are not shareholders of the Company must be for a minimum of 300 shares,
and such shares may only be purchased by persons who are bona fide residents
of the State of Georgia. Any person subscribing to purchase such shares will
be required to execute an affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Company, that the subscribing shareholder is a legal resident of the State of
Georgia. The Company will notify each person subscribing to such shares if all
or a portion of that subscription has been accepted within sixty (60) days of
receipt of the subscription; however, if the purchase price is not paid within
ten (10) days of notice of acceptance of the subscription, the Company shall
have the right to cancel the subscription.

All subscriptions for shares which are to be satisfied from the underlying
shares of Warrants which are not exercised by shareholders of the Company will
be subject to acceptance by the Company's Board of Directors in its sole and
unfettered discretion.
The Warrants and the shares of Common Stock of the Company to be purchased
pursuant to the exercise of those Warrants have been registered or are exempt
from registration in those states in which shareholders of the Company reside
as of the date of the Prospectus, based upon the best information available to
the Company. THE OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY TO ISSUE SHARES PURSUANT TO THE
WARRANTS IS EXPRESSLY SUBJECT, HOWEVER, TO THE REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION OF
THE SECURITIES WHICH MAY BE PURCHASED PURSUANT TO THE EXERCISE OF THOSE
WARRANTS IN THOSE STATES IN WHICH THE SHARES ARE TO BE ISSUED. All persons
exercising Warrants for purchase of the Common Stock of the Company or
otherwise subscribing to shares of the Common Stock of the Company which are
the subject of this offering will be required to execute, in form satisfactory
to the Company, a certificate of residency, establishing the residence of the
subscriber in a state in which the shares of the Company's Common Stock have
been registered or are exempt from registration.
The Company reserves the right to determine the legal state of a
shareholder's residence and the availability of exemptions from registration
under applicable securities laws of such states. The determination by the
Company as to those issues shall be conclusive and binding on all shareholders
of the Company and on all other persons or entities subscribing to purchase
shares of the Company's Common Stock.
The Company does not have any agreement with any underwriter or other party
for a distribution of the shares offered hereby or for the Warrants and the
Company will act as principal in their offering and sale. The Company's
management will be the selling agents acting on behalf of the Company and will
conduct the offering pursuant to direct mail solicitation.
The offering is not conditioned upon the sale of all or any portion of the
shares offered hereunder. There will be no refund of any funds paid pursuant
to any subscription or pursuant to the exercise of any Warrant, even if all of
the shares offered hereunder are not sold.

which are incidental to the business in which they are engaged. Neither the
Company nor the Bank is presently a party to any litigation which is not
routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company or the Bank. The

threatened against the Company or the Bank.

The securities offered by the Company are shares of its Common Stock, $1.00
par value. The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Common
Stock. There are presently issued and outstanding 1,362,800 shares of the
Common Stock of the Company. In addition, there are outstanding Warrants to
purchase an additional 359,760 shares of the Common Stock of the Company
issued in connection with the organization of Security National Bank, the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, most of which are owned by directors and
executive officers of the Company, and the Company is authorized to issue
under its 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan stock options to certain executive
officers and key employees of the Company or of the Bank to purchase up to
65,000 shares of the Company's $1.00 par value Common Stock, of which options
to purchase 60,000 shares have been granted pursuant to that plan.
Each holder of Common Stock of the Company is entitled to one vote per
share, but possesses no preemptive rights. The Common Stock does not have
cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock voting for the election of directors can
elect all of the directors if they choose to do so; in such event, the holders
of the remaining shares of Common Stock will not be able to elect any of the
directors. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive such
dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors of the Company with
respect to the Common Stock out of funds legally available therefor under the
laws of the State of Georgia. SEE "RISK FACTORS". In the event of liquidation,
dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of
outstanding shares of Common Stock will be entitled to share pro rata
according to their respective interests in the Company's assets and funds
remaining after payment or provision for payment of all debts and other
liabilities of the Company. The Common Stock is not by its terms convertible
or redeemable. The articles of incorporation do not authorize the issuance of
any other class of securities.
The articles of incorporation of the Company provide that there may be no
share exchange, merger, consolidation or sale, lease, transfer, exchange or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation
or any of its affiliates to another corporation, person or entity unless it is
approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of all classes
of stock entitled to vote in the election of directors, and further provide
that the articles of incorporation may not be amended except by the
affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of all classes of stock entitled
to vote in the election of directors. The articles of incorporation further
provide for the classification of its directors into five classes, which are
as nearly equal in number as possible, with the terms of each director being
five (5) years but with the terms staggered to provide for the election of
approximately one-fifth of the Company's directors at each meeting of
shareholders. These provisions in the articles of incorporation are designed
to ensure stability of leadership and to discourage hostile and indirect
attempts by persons desiring to acquire control of the Company by extending
the time required to elect a majority of the directors of the Company,
although the provisions would also tend to increase the difficulty of removing
the Board of Directors of the Company when considered appropriate by a
majority of shareholders.
The Common Stock of the Company is first being offered to shareholders of
the Company pursuant to Warrants issued to shareholders of record of the
Company as of September 30, 1996, which entitle each shareholder of the
Company as of that date to purchase one (1) additional share of the Company's
Common Stock for each five (5) shares of Common Stock of the Company owned as
of that date. The Warrants are issued for no consideration to the Company's
shareholders, but have been registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933
and have either been registered in those states in which the Company's
shareholders reside as of the Record Date or are exempt from registration in
those states, based upon the best information available to the Company. The
Warrants may not be exercised except by persons or entities who are legal
residents of the states in which the Warrants and the underlying shares have
been registered or, in the opinion of the Company, are exempt from
registration. The Warrants are not transferable, and will expire and be of no
further force and effect if not exercised in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Warrants on or before October 30, 1996. The Warrants do not
entitle the holders of the Warrants to any voting rights, or to any other
rights of a shareholder of the Company, other than the right to purchase, on
the terms set forth therein, shares of the Company's Common Stock.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS AND CONTROL PERSONS
Article 8, Part 5 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code provides for
indemnification of directors and officers of corporations. Under the
provisions of O.C.G.A. (S)14-2-852, a director of the Company, to the extent
successful in the defense of any proceeding or claim to which he or she is a
party because he or she is a director of the Company, is entitled as a matter
of right to indemnification against reasonable expenses, including attorneys'
fees, incurred by him or her in connection therewith. The Company is further
authorized to indemnify any person who is made a party to a proceeding because
he or she is a director against any liability incurred including the
obligation to pay any judgment rendered against him or her if the director
acted in a manner he or she believed in good faith to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of any criminal
proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct
was unlawful. The authority of the Company to indemnify a director is not
applicable in connection with any proceeding brought by or in the right of the
corporation, or in connection with any other proceeding in which he or she is
adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by
him. Indemnification in any action brought by or in the right of the
corporation is limited in any event to reasonable expenses incurred in
connection with the proceeding, and does not include the obligation to pay any
judgment, settlement, penalty or fine.
A determination that a director is entitled to indemnification must be made
by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
not at the time parties to the proceedings; if a quorum cannot be obtained
then by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the board of directors
(in which designation directors who are parties may participate), consisting
solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceedings; by
special legal counsel; or by the shareholders of the corporation, excluding
shares owned by or voted under the control of directors who are at the time
parties to the proceeding. A director of the Company who is a party to a legal
proceeding in that capacity may apply to the court for indemnification or
advances for expenses if it determines (1) the director is entitled to
mandatory indemnification under O.C.G.A. (S)14-2-852; or (2) the director is
fairly and reasonably entitled in view of all relevant circumstances to
indemnification, even if he or she has not met the standard conduct set forth
in O.C.G.A. (S)14-2-851(a) or was adjudged liable as described in O.C.G.A.
(S)14-2-851(d), in which latter event, however, his or her indemnification is
limited to reasonable expenses incurred. If the court determines that the
director is entitled to indemnification or advance for expenses under this
part, it may also order the corporation to pay the directors reasonable
expenses to obtain court-ordered indemnification or advance for expenses. The
articles of incorporation of the Company also eliminate, as permitted by law,
the personal liability of directors of the Company for monetary damages for
breach of duty of care or other duty as a director, excepting only any
liability for misappropriation of any business opportunity of the corporation,
intentional misconduct, and other specified conduct.
An officer of the Company who is not a director is entitled to mandatory
indemnification under O.C.G.A. (S)14-2-852 and is entitled to apply for court
ordered indemnification in each case to the same extent as is a director of
the Company. The Company may also indemnify and advance expenses to an
officer, employee or agent who is not a director to the extent, consistent
with public policy, that may be provided by its articles of incorporation,
bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors, or contract.
18
<PAGE>
The Company's bylaws provide for indemnification of officers and directors
substantially similar to that provided by Article 8, Part 5 of the Georgia
Business Corporations Code. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or
persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the 1993 Act and is therefore unenforceable.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Security National Bank has made loans in the ordinary course of its business
to officers and directors of the Company, and also to their relatives,
spouses, and entities in which they have an interest. Each of these loans has
been made in strict compliance with state and federal statutes and rules and
regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. As of December
31, 1995, certain executive officers and directors, and companies in which
they are an executive officer or partner or in which they have a ten percent
(10%) or more beneficial interest, were indebted to Security National Bank in
the aggregate amount of $3,254,857.00, and as of June 30, 1996 were so
indebted to the Bank in the aggregate amount of $1,854,838. Each of the loans
was made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions with other persons, and did not involve more than the
normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
SNB Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company which was formed at the
instruction of management of Security National Bank in February, 1994.
Pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Plan of Reorganization and Agreement
of Merger between the Bank, the Company and Security Interim National Bank,
shareholders of Security National Bank were issued one (1) share of Company
Common Stock in exchange for each share of bank stock owned by him or her on
September 30, 1994, the effective date of the reorganization. Directors and
executive officers of the Bank, most of whom currently serve as directors and
executive officers of the Company, received shares of the Company on the same
basis as did other shareholders of the Company, and received no additional
consideration in connection with the reorganization.
Otherwise, there were no transactions during the last two (2) years, nor are
there any other currently proposed transactions, to which either Bancshares or
the Bank was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds
$60,000.00 and in which any director, executive officer, principal stockholder
or their related interests had, or is to have, a direct or indirect material
interest.
BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY
GENERAL
The Company is a Georgia business corporation which was incorporated on
February 10, 1994. The Company was organized for the purpose of operating as a
bank-holding company under the federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, and the bank holding company laws of Georgia (Georgia Laws 1976, pg.
168 et. seq.). On September 30, 1994, the Company, after obtaining the
requisite regulatory approvals, acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding
common stock of the Bank, a national bank which has engaged in a commercial
banking business in Bibb County, Georgia since November 4, 1988, through the
merger of the Bank with a bank subsidiary of the Company which was created for
the purpose of organizing the Bank into a one-bank holding company. Since that
time, the Bank has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As of
June 30, 1996, the Bank had assets of $120,938,856; loans of $76,611,916;
deposits of $105,466,189; and equity capital of $9,541,098.
The Bank offers a full range of deposit products typically offered by
commercial banks, including various checking, savings, interest bearing
transaction accounts, certificates of deposit and IRA accounts. The Bank's
lending services include a wide variety of commercial, consumer, SBA, mortgage
and equity loans designed to meet customer needs. Additionally, the Bank
offers safe deposit boxes, automated teller machines, credit cards,
19
<PAGE>
wire transfers, travelers checks, money orders, night depository and other
services for the convenience of its customers. No trust services are currently
offered. The Bank has an affiliation with a full service brokerage company
which maintains an office at the Bank's Riverside Drive branch.
MARKET AREA OF THE COMPANY
The Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is located and
conducts virtually all of its business in Bibb County, which had a population
in 1990 of approximately 149,967 as reported by the United States Bureau of
Census. The Bank conducts business to a lesser extent in the surrounding
counties of Jones, Monroe, Twiggs, Wilkinson and Houston. The loan portfolio
of the Company is concentrated in various commercial, real estate and consumer
loans to individuals and entities located in Middle Georgia, and the ultimate
collectibility of the loans and future growth of the Bank is largely dependent
upon economic conditions in the Middle Georgia area. The Bank's agricultural
loans are negligible. The economy of the Middle Georgia area has been
generally favorable in recent years, although population growth in Bibb County
has been relatively slow. Robins Air Force Base, located in Houston County,
recently survived national base closure mandates, and has recently expanded in
size.
COMPETITION
The banking industry in Bibb County is highly competitive. It is currently
served by eight (8) commercial banks, one (1) federal savings bank, sixteen
(16) credit unions, and various finance companies. As of December 31, 1995,
the Bank held a 4.34% market share of Bibb County deposits held in banks,
savings and loans, and credit unions.
LENDING POLICIES
The lending policies of the Company are embodied in a comprehensive
statement of lending policy adopted by the Bank, which is reviewed and
modified periodically. In general, those policies delegate to lending officers
of the Company authority to approve loans which do not exceed a specified
maximum amount, depending upon the seniority and experience of the lending
officer. Loans in excess of those specified limits, but not in excess of
$600,000.00, must be approved by the Bank's loan committee. The loan committee
is composed of members of the Board of Directors and senior officers of the
Bank, but only board members may vote on the decisions of the committee. Loans
in excess of $600,000.00 must be ratified by the Bank's full Board of
Directors.
In general, the Company authorizes loans to be made in Bibb County, but
restricts the extent to which loans can be made in its secondary service area
(defined as Jones, Twiggs, Houston, Peach, Wilkinson, Crawford, and Monroe
Counties) and outside of its defined service area. Loans in each county in the
secondary service area may not exceed 25% of the Bank's total loans, or 200-
300% of the Bank's total capital. Loans outside of Bibb County and the Bank's
secondary service area may not exceed 10% of the Bank's total loans and 80% of
its total capital. The Bank characterizes loans as desirable, acceptable,
undesirable, or prohibited largely on the basis of the nature and extent of
the collateral which secures the loans. A loan application is required on all
loans, and loan officers are required to submit a memorandum which outlines
the borrower's historical relationship with the Bank, the amount of the loan,
the purpose of the loan, the repayment schedule, collateral, financial
analysis and a statement of the loan grading. Lending officers of the Bank
actively solicit customers in the commercial, residential and consumer
sectors.
All requested loans are reviewed carefully before made, with particular
consideration to the borrower's character, repayment capacity and collateral.
Significant loans require review of documentation of the borrower's financial
history; most consumer or residential loans in excess of $10,000.00 require
personal financial statements from all borrowers, guarantors, endorsers or co-
makers, and all commercial loan applications in excess of $100,000.00 must be
supported by financial statements, the nature of which is dependent upon the
amount of credit requested. Loans secured by real estate are generally limited
to a specified percentage of the value of the
20
<PAGE>
real estate, supported by competent appraisals. The lending policy requires
that before real estate is accepted as collateral it must be personally viewed
by a representative of the Bank, and inspections are required by the lending
officer on construction and development projects before substantial draws are
made. Special procedures are in place to ensure that loans to directors and
executive officers are not made on terms more favorable than such loans are
made to other borrowers in similar circumstances.
A collateral administration department has been established by the Bank to
assist in the perfection of security interests in collateral before a loan is
consummated and to ensure proper maintenance of files. The Bank has
implemented an internal compliance program which provides for the periodic
review of samples of loans, credit files, collateral files and adverse action
notices. Loan officers are required to assign to each loan at the time it is
made a grade, the level of which depends, among other factors, upon the nature
and extent of collateral and the repayment ability of the borrower. The
lending officer is required to advise the chief executive officer of any
change in the status of the loan which would necessitate changing its grade.
All loans to customers with an aggregate indebtedness in excess of $150,000.00
are reviewed annually by the credit administration department. The quality of
the Bank's loan portfolio is reviewed semi-annually by a qualified outside
party, which includes a review of every relationship in excess of $150,000.00,
and all past due and non-accruing loans, other real estate owned, and
repossessions.
The Company seeks through its lending policy to avoid an undue concentration
of loans in any particular sector of the economy or to any one borrower.
Concentration in any enumerated sector in excess of 10% of the Bank's total
capital is subject to review by the Bank's Board of Directors, and the Board
of Directors has established specific limits designed to prevent the Bank from
becoming exposed to undue risks associated with concentrations of real estate
loans of specific types or geographic markets. Loans in excess of those
specified percentages must be approved by the loan committee and reported to
the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 1995 the Bank's loan portfolio
consisted of approximately 17.6% in commercial, financial and agricultural
loans; 4.4% in real estate construction loans; 69.5% in loans secured by real
estate mortgages; and 8.8% in individual or consumer loans.
The Company seeks generally to avoid long term, fixed-rate loans secured by
real estate, especially where such loans are not matched by liabilities of
similar maturities. Although a substantial percentage of the Bank's loan
portfolio consists of loans secured by real estate mortgages, the overwhelming
majority of those loans have maturities of less than three (3) years. Many of
the loans with maturities in excess of that time provide for periodic
adjustments of interest rates. Real estate loans are generally scheduled to
amortize within 15 years for raw land loans and for improved real estate
property loans, and 30 years for one-four family, owner occupied real estate
loans.
The Community Reinvestment Act seeks to ensure that each financial
institution meets the credit needs of the entire community served by that
institution, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with
the safe and sound operation of that institution. In accordance with that
statute and rules and regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, Security National Bank has established a Community
Reinvestment Act program designed to further the purposes of the Act and to
ensure compliance with it. Each program is overseen by a Community
Reinvestment Act officer, and Security National Bank has adopted written
Community Reinvestment Act statements.
REGULATION--SNB BANCSHARES, INC.
The Company is registered as a bank holding company with both the Georgia
Department of Banking and Finance as well as with the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System. It is required to file annual reports and other
information regarding its business operations and those of its subsidiary with
both of those regulatory agencies and is subject to examination by both of
those agencies.
The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain
the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (i)
before it may acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting
shares of any bank if, after such acquisitions, such bank holding company will
directly or
21
<PAGE>
indirectly own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank; and
(ii) before it may merge or be consolidated with another bank holding company.
This Act further requires that consummation of approved acquisitions or
mergers be delayed, generally for a period of not less than fifteen (15) days
following the date of such approval, during which time complaining parties may
obtain a review of the Board's order granting its approval by filing a
petition in the appropriate United States Court of Appeals petitioning that
the order be set aside. Since September, 1995 the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System has been authorized to approve an application by a bank
holding company which is adequately capitalized and adequately managed to
acquire control of, or acquire all or substantially all the assets of, a bank
located in a state other than the home state of the bank holding company,
without regard to whether such transaction is prohibited or permitted under
state law. That legislation effectively permits bank holding companies to
acquire banks in any other state beginning September 29, 1995. Approval of the
Federal Reserve System will not be forthcoming, however, for the acquisition
of a bank in a host state by an out-of-state bank holding company if the
applicable law of the host state provides that the acquired bank be in
existence for a minimum period of time not to exceed five (5) years.
The Bank Holding Company Act prohibits (with specific exceptions) the
Company from engaging in non-banking activities or from acquiring direct or
indirect control of any company engaged in non-banking activities. The Board
of Governors by regulation or order may make exceptions for activities
determined to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling
banks as to be a proper incident thereto. In determining whether a particular
activity is permissible, the Board of Governors is to consider whether the
performance of such an activity can reasonably be expected to produce benefits
to the public, such as a greater convenience, increased competition or gains
in efficiency, that outweigh possible adverse effects, such as undue
concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of
interest or unsound banking practices. For example, making, acquiring or
servicing loans, providing discount securities brokerage services, leasing
personal property, providing certain investment or financial advice,
performing certain data processing services, acting as agent or broker in
selling life insurance and certain other types of insurance in connection with
credit transactions and certain underwriting activities have all been
determined by regulations of the Board of Governors to be permissible
activities. The Bank Holding Company Act does not place territorial
limitations on permissible bank-related activities of bank holding companies.
However, despite prior approval, the Board of Governors does have the power to
order a holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any activity, or
terminate its ownership or control of any subsidiary, when it has reasonable
cause to believe the continuation of such activity or such ownership or
control constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or
stability of any bank subsidiary of that holding company. The Federal Reserve
Board considers whether the performance of such activities by an affiliate of
the holding company can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the
public which outweigh possible adverse effects.
Under applicable federal law, the Company and its subsidiary are prohibited
from extending credit, selling or leasing property, and furnishing any service
to any customer on the condition or requirement that the customer obtain any
additional property, service or credit from the Company and its subsidiary,
refrain from obtaining any property, service or credit from any competitor of
the Company or its subsidiary, or furnish any property, service or credit to
the Company or its subsidiary. In addition, the Company is required to give
the Federal Reserve Board, unless it is considered to be "well-capitalized" by
the Board, prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its
outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or
redemption, when combined with a net consideration paid for all such purchases
or redemptions during the preceding twelve (12) months, is equal to ten
percent (10%) or more of the Company's consolidated net worth. The Federal
Reserve Board may disapprove such a purchase or redemption under certain
prescribed circumstances.
The Federal Reserve Board has been vested with substantial enforcement
powers over bank-holding companies and non-banking subsidiaries in those
circumstances which represent unsafe or unsound practices or constitute
violations of law. The Federal Reserve Board, for instance, may issue cease
and desist orders to prohibit unsafe or unsound practices or practices which
constitute violations of the law. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board may
assess civil penalties against companies or individuals who violate the Bank
Holding Company Act or orders or regulations promulgated pursuant thereto in
amounts up to $1 million for each day of
22
<PAGE>
the violation; may order termination of non-banking activities of non-banking
subsidiaries or bank holding companies; and may order termination of ownership
and control of a non-banking subsidiary by a bank holding company. Certain
violations may also result in criminal penalties.
The Company is also subject to regulation as a bank holding company by the
State of Georgia. Georgia law requires an annual registration of all Georgia
bank holding companies with the Department of Banking and Finance. Such
registration includes information with respect to the financial condition,
operation, management and intercompany relationships of the bank holding
company and its subsidiaries and such related matters as the Department of
Banking and Finance deems necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes
of Georgia law. Furthermore, the Department of Banking and Finance may from
time to time require reports under oath to keep itself informed as to whether
the provisions of Georgia banking laws, regulations, and orders issued
thereunder by the Department have been complied with, and may make
examinations of each bank holding company and subsidiary thereof.
In addition, Georgia law provides that, without prior approval of the
Commissioner of the Department of Banking and Finance, it is unlawful (i) for
any bank holding company to acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of
more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank; (ii) for any bank holding
company or subsidiary thereof, other than a bank, to acquire all or
substantially all of the assets of a bank; or (iii) for any bank holding
company to merge or consolidate with any other bank holding company. It is
also unlawful for any bank holding company to acquire direct or indirect
ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank unless
such bank has been in existence and continually operated as a bank for five
years or more prior to the date of application to the Commissioner for
approval of such acquisition, except in instances in which the Bank is
organized to facilitate the acquisition of a bank meeting the five year
requirement.
The Company and its banking subsidiary are deemed "affiliates" within the
meaning of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act and are subject to
restrictions contained in the Act on loan and other transactions between
affiliates. A transaction between affiliates of the Corporation may not exceed
10% of the capital stock and surplus of the banking subsidiary involved and
the total of all transactions by a banking subsidiary may not exceed 20% of
its capital stock and surplus. All extensions of credit may not exceed 20% of
its capital stock and surplus. All extensions of credit by the bank subsidiary
to affiliates of the Corporation must be secured.
REGULATION--SECURITY NATIONAL BANK
The Bank is a national banking association, organized under the laws of the
United States pursuant to the provisions of the National Bank Act. As such,
primary supervisory regulatory authority for the Bank is the Comptroller of
the Currency of the United States. The Comptroller regularly examines the Bank
and its operations. In addition, operations of the Bank are subject to state
and federal statutes applicable to national banks, including regulations of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and the Comptroller of the Currency. Such statutes and
regulations relate to the required reserves, investments, loans, mergers and
consolidations, issuance of securities, payment of dividends, establishment of
branches and other aspects of their operations.
The National Bank Act contains restrictions on payment of dividends which
(i) limit the amount of dividends that may be declared by a national bank in
any calendar year without the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency to
the total of the national bank's net profits (as defined) for such year
combined with its retained profits for the preceding two (2) years, less any
required transfers to surplus; (ii) prohibit withdrawal of capital in the form
of a dividend; and (iii) prohibit the payment of a dividend in an amount
greater than its net profits then on hand less losses and bad debts. The
Comptroller of the Currency also has authority under the Financial
Institutions Supervisory Act of 1966 to prohibit a national bank from engaging
in what in his opinion constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting
its business, including the payment of a dividend.
The Bank, as the subsidiary of the Company, is subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, on any extensions
of credit to the bank holding company or the Bank, on investments in the stock
or other securities thereof, and on the taking of such stock or securities as
collateral for loans to any borrower.
23
<PAGE>
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is granted wide latitude in
enforcing sanctions against any bank which does not operate in accordance with
applicable regulations, policies, and directives. Proceedings may be brought
against any bank or any director, officer or employee of the bank that is
engaged in any unsafe and unsound practice, including the violation of
applicable laws and regulations. Civil penalties may be assessed against such
companies or individuals for violation of federal statutes, orders or
regulations in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000.00 or, in the case of a
national banking association, an amount not to exceed the lesser of
$1,000,000.00 or 1% of the total assets of that association. In addition, the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is empowered, upon notice and
hearing, to remove any director, officer or employee of any bank under its
jurisdiction which has violated any law or regulation, any final cease and
desist order, or any written condition or agreement to which the bank is a
party, or has engaged in any unsafe or unsound practice in connection with the
bank, or has breached a fiduciary duty to the bank. A knowing violation of any
provision of the National Bank Act may result in the forfeiture of the rights,
privileges and franchises of the Bank. In addition, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation has the authority to terminate insurance of accounts
maintained with the bank, after notice and hearing, upon a finding by the FDIC
that the bank is or has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices that have not
been corrected, or is in an unsafe and unsound condition to continue
operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule or order of,
or condition imposed, by the appropriate supervisors.
The Bank is subject to restrictions on the establishment and maintenance of
branch banks by the laws of the State of Georgia. The Georgia General Assembly
recently enacted legislation which will substantially expand the ability of
commercial banks in Georgia to branch into other counties. Commercial banks in
Georgia have historically been limited in their banking operations to the
county in which their principal offices are located. However, effective July
1, 1996, banks in Georgia will be able to branch into other counties on a
limited basis, and effective July 1, 1998 banks in Georgia will be able to
branch into other counties on an unlimited basis. Recent federal legislation
also authorizes banks to merge across state lines, thereby creating interstate
branches, beginning June 1, 1997. Each state has the opportunity to "opt out"
of that legislation, thereby prohibiting interstate mergers in such states, or
to "opt in" at an earlier time, thereby allowing interstate mergers without
that state prior to June 1, 1997. Georgia law has elected to permit interstate
mergers as of June 1, 1997, subject to reciprocal legislation being enacted in
the other affected states. In addition, a bank is now able to open branches in
a state in which it does not already have banking operations, if the laws of
such state permit such de novo branching. Georgia law does not presently
permit such de novo branching from another state and a bank in another state
may only enter Georgia by acquiring a bank located in Georgia.
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
Both the Company and its subsidiary bank are required to maintain minimum
capital ratios. The minimum ratio of Total Capital to Total Risk-Weighted
Assets is 8%, of which at least 4% must be in the form of Tier 1 Capital
(Core). Core Capital elements include common stockholder's equity, qualifying
non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, qualifying cumulative perpetual
preferred stock, and minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated
subsidiaries. Tier 1 Capital is defined generally as the sum of those Core
Capital elements less good will and other tangible assets required to be
deducted in accordance with applicable regulations. Tier 2 Capital consists of
allowance for loan and lease losses (subject to applicable limitations),
perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, hybrid capital instruments,
perpetual debt, and mandatory convertible debt securities, and term
subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock.
As of June 30, 1996, the Tier 1 Capital ratio of the Company, on a
consolidated basis, was 12.65%, and its total Tier 1 and Tier 2 risk-based
capital was 13.90%. Both of those measures were in excess of regulatory
minimums of 4% for Tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital.
In addition, the Company is required to maintain a leverage capital ratio of
not less than 4%. As of June 30, 1996, the Company's leverage capital ratio
was 9.39%.
Banking institutions which do not meet applicable capital requirements are
subject to corrective action taken by the appropriate federal banking
agencies. A financial institution which is notified by the appropriate banking
agency that it is under-capitalized, significantly under-capitalized or
critically under-capitalized must submit an
24
<PAGE>
acceptable capital restoration plan, and a financial institution is prohibited
from making capital distributions if thereafter it is under-capitalized. An
under-capitalized institution is also prohibited from increasing its average
total assets until its capital restoration plan has been accepted, and is also
generally prohibited from making acquisitions, establishing any branches or
engaging in any new line of business except in accordance with the capital
restoration plan or the approval of the appropriate agency. An under-
capitalized institution which fails to submit an acceptable capital
restoration plan or fails to implement a capital restoration plan accepted by
the appropriate agency may be required to sell additional stock, merge with
another institution, remove or replace members of management or take other
appropriate action.
Under regulations recently adopted by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve system, a bank's exposure to declines in the economic value of its
capital due to changes in interest rates is one factor the agencies will
consider in evaluating a bank's capital adequacy. Additional capital may be
required if, in the judgment of the applicable regulatory agency, the bank's
capital provisions for interest rate risks are inadequate. Additional
regulations are being considered which will address in greater detail the role
of interest rate risks in assessing the adequacy of a bank's capital.
INSURANCE PREMIUMS
The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation to the extent authorized by law. The Bank is assessed a premium by
the FDIC for that coverage and the FDIC has developed a risk-based system to
determine a bank's assessment rate. The risk-based system places institutions
into one of nine risk categories using a two-step process based first on
capital ratios and then on other supervisory information, and the insurance
premium for each bank depends upon the level of capitalization and other
supervisory concerns. The insurance premiums paid by the Bank increased
considerably between 1990 and 1995, as did those of other commercial banks, to
ensure that the Bank Insurance Fund which is the source of payments to
depositors of failed institutions was sufficiently capitalized. In 1995,
however, the reserve ratio of the Bank Insurance Fund achieved a designated
level, and under the new assessment schedule the assessment rates of
commercial banks such as the Bank will be reduced considerably. The deposit
insurance rate for the Bank is presently .004% of domestic deposits. However,
the FDIC is authorized to increase or decrease the assessment rates by a
maximum of five basis points without engaging in a notice-and-comment rule
making proceeding, and no assurance can be furnished that the assessment rate
of the Bank will not be increased by the five basis-point maximum in the
future, or in excess of that amount with appropriate notice by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation.
EMPLOYEES
As of June 30, 1996, the Company and its subsidiary had 47 full-time
employees and 5 part-time employees.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following narrative presents management's discussion and analysis of the
Company's financial condition and results of operations as of and for the six-
month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994. The historical financial statements of the Company are set
forth elsewhere herein. This discussion should be read in conjunction with
those financial statements and the other financial information included in
this prospectus. As the Company has no subsidiaries other than the Bank and no
activities other than those of the Bank, the following discussion refers to
the financial condition and operations of the Bank.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Financial condition of a commercial bank should be examined to a large
extent in terms of trends in sources and uses of funds. The Company's primary
use of funds comes from loan demand. During the six months ended June 30,
1996, net loans made to customers increased $12,336,445 or 19.2 percent.
Investment securities increased from $34,439,849 to $35,566,924 during the
same period which represents an increase of 3.3 percent. Total assets as of
June 30, 1996 were $121,132,239 as compared to $107,566,158 as of December 31,
1995. The increase in total assets (12.6 percent) and the significant loan
growth were funded primarily through increased deposits. Deposit growth
resulted from increased media advertising and heightened community awareness
of the personal banking services provided by the Company. Demand, interest-
bearing demand and savings deposits increased by $12,880,844 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. Time deposits decreased by $1,190,028 for the same
period.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The significant growth of the Company for the last two years and,
particularly, the last six months has caused management to become increasingly
aware of the company's capital needs. Relevant capital balances and ratios for
the prior six quarters are as follows:

</TABLE>
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
During the first quarter of 1996, 81,400 shares of additional common stock
were issued resulting in contributed capital of $1,750,100. Contributed
capital along with net income of $329,488 in the first quarter assisted in
raising book value from $7.02 per share as of December 31, 1995 to $7.61 per
share at the end of the first quarter. The equity to assets ratio at that time
was 9.13 percent. During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, net income of
$364,566 less cash dividends paid of $74,954 resulted in book value of $7.74
per share and stockholder equity to assets ratio of 8.70 percent. All share
and per share data have been adjusted to reflect a 100 percent stock split
effected in the form of a dividend on June 1, 1996 and a 20 percent stock
split effected in the form of a dividend on March 20, 1995. Management
anticipates future growth in loans and assets will be considerable and may
require additional contributed capital.

LIQUIDITY
SNB manages its liquidity position to ensure adequate cash flow for deposit
withdrawals and credit commitments.
The percentage of net loans to deposits as of June 30, 1996 was 73.2
percent, an increase of almost 4 percentage points over the loan-deposit ratio
of 69.3 percent as of December 31, 1995. Cash and due from banks and federal
funds sold totaled $5,489,527 as of June 30, 1996 as compared with $5,632,830
as of December 31, 1995, representing a decrease of 2.5 percent. The Bank has
established relationships with its correspondent banks which will enable it to
purchase federal funds on a short-term basis when needed.
Cash provided by operations during the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$703,209. Financing activities consisting primarily of net cash inflows from
deposits of $11,690,816 resulted in total cash inflows for the period of
$13,072,325. Cash outflows during the same period totaled $13,918,837 for
purchases of investment securities ($1,388,678) and net loans to customers of
$12,336,445. For the six- month period, cash and cash equivalents decreased
overall by $143,303.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest Income
Interest income from loans and loan fees were $3,880,358 for the period
ended June 30, 1996, which represents an increase of $919,763 (31.1%), over
the same period for 1995. The increase is attributed to a significant
increase in the volume of loans. Interest from investment securities
totaled $926,562 for the 1996 period of which 26.4% or $244,727 represents
tax-free interest on state, county and municipal obligations. Thirty
percent of interest from investment securities in the prior six months
ended June 30, 1995 was tax-free interest.
Interest Expense
During the first six months of 1996, interest expense to the Bank
incurred on behalf of depositors totaled $2,147,607. It was considerably
higher than interest expense of the comparable 1995 period which totals
$1,474,876. The increase of $672,731 (45.6%) results from increased
interest-bearing deposits which were $87,028,963 as of June 30, 1996 versus
$65,339,565 as of June 30, 1995.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Bank provided $107,000 for loan losses for the six months ended June
30, 1996 versus $54,571 for the same period in 1995. The amount of the
provision for loan losses is the result of judgment made by management
after giving due consideration to the credit worthiness and size of the
loan portfolio. The increase in the 1996 provision for loan losses was
based primarily on growth in the loans outstanding.
Management seeks to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level
which will be adequate under current economic conditions. However,
management's judgment is based upon a number of assumptions about future
events, which are believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove
valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods
will not exceed the allowance for possible loan losses, that additional
increases in the allowance will not be required, or that any particular
level of allowance for possible loan losses will be maintained.
As of June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan losses was 1.7 percent of
outstanding loans less unearned interest. As of June 30, 1995, the
comparable level was 1.9 percent.
27
<PAGE>
Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest income consists of service charges on deposits, other service
charges, commissions and fees, security transactions and other
miscellaneous income. Noninterest income of $513,902 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 increased by $123,492 over the comparable period of
1995. Of the total amount, 62.5 percent resulted from service charges on
deposits. Service charges on deposits increased significantly due to
increased deposit balances.
Salaries and employee benefits of $1,047,466 through the second quarter
of 1996 were higher than $737,938 for the same period in 1995. The increase
is representative of manpower requirements necessary to effectively run a
growing financial institution. Total noninterest expenses were $2,019,472
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and $1,519,488 for the same period
in 1995.
Net Income
Net income for the first half of 1996 totaled $694,054 as compared to
$641,227 for the first half of 1995. Earnings per share were $.45 versus
$.47, a decrease of $.02 per share resulting from the issuance of 81,400
shares, which subsequently split to 162,800 shares. Return on average
assets for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was 1.24 percent representing
a decline of .31 percent from the 1.55 percent earned during the first six
months of 1995. The decline resulted, to a large extent, because deposits
grew faster than the funds could be effectively employed in earning assets.
Return on average stockholders' equity for the first quarter of 1996 was
13.84 percent as compared to 17.66 percent for the comparable period of
1995. The decline can be attributed to the contribution of $1,750,100 of
capital during the first six months of 1996.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
The following discussion reviews the results of operations and assesses the
financial condition of the Company. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the preceding consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes.
The Company is a one bank holding company organized at the direction of
Security National Bank ("Bank") stockholders and management to hold 100% of
the common stock of Security National Bank. At a Special Meeting of the
Stockholders of the Bank on August 2, 1994, the stockholders of the Bank voted
affirmatively for a Plan of Reorganization and Agreement of Merger pursuant to
which the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This
reorganization was completed effective September 30, 1994. As a result of the
reorganization, each outstanding share of $1.00 par value common stock of the
Bank was converted into one share of $1.00 par value common stock of the
Company. The functions of the Company as the parent holding company are
limited in scope, so that the consolidated financial statements of the Company
largely reflect the financial condition and operating results of its sole
banking subsidiary. The Bank is a federally chartered commercial bank which
commenced operations in Macon, Georgia on November 4, 1988. After the
September 30, 1994 reorganization detailed above, the Bank has continued its
normal operations as a subsidiary of the Company.

1995.
(b) Determined by dividing dividends declared by current year net income.
Consolidated total assets of $107.6 million at December 31, 1995 were up by
$29.4 million, or 37.6%, over total assets at December 31, 1994. This growth
rate is significantly higher than the economic growth statistics for the
Company's Macon-Bibb County market area. The strong trend demonstrates the
Company's capture of a larger percentage of the local financial services
market due primarily to recent industry consolidations of larger banks in the
area. Total assets of $78.2 million at December 31, 1994 were up by $12.1
million, or 18.4%, over total consolidated assets at December 31, 1993. On
average the balance sheet grew by 31.1% during 1995, 15.0% during 1994, and
12.6% during 1993. Total earning assets averaged $86.9 million during 1995, up
from $65.5 million in 1994, and yielded an average return of 9.49% on a tax
equivalent basis, compared to averages of 8.79% in 1994 and 8.36% in 1993.

LOANS
The Bank's loan portfolio constitutes the major interest earning asset of the
Company. To analyze prospective loans, management assesses the company's
objectives for both credit quality and interest rate pricing to determine
whether to extend a loan and the appropriate rate of interest for each loan.
The loan portfolio is concentrated in various commercial, real estate and
consumer loans to individuals and entities located in middle Georgia.
Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of the loans is largely dependent
upon economic conditions in the middle Georgia area. The local economy is
generally good, with two recent events helping to bolster the future outlook
for the area. First, a large air force base in a contiguous county has
survived national base closure mandates. This major middle Georgia employer
has recently expanded in size. Second, the 1996 Atlanta summer Olympics have
generally aided in economic stability in areas surrounding Atlanta.
Loans net of unearned income of $64.4 million and $52.3 million at December
31, 1995 and 1994 respectively, amounted to 59.9% and 66.9% of total assets,
and 69.3% and 77.8% of deposits. The average yields generated
30
<PAGE>
by interest and fees from the loan portfolio amounted to 11.02% during 1995,
9.91% during 1994 and 9.66% during 1993. The Company's allowance for loan
losses at December 31, 1995 and 1994 amounted to 1.75% and 1.95%,
respectively, of outstanding net loans.
The following table presents the amount of loans outstanding by category, both
in dollars and in percentages of the total portfolio, at the end of each of
the past five years.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The investment securities portfolio is another major interest earning asset
and consists of debt and equity securities categorized as either available for
sale or held to maturity. These securities provide the company with a source
of liquidity and a stable source of income. The investment portfolio provides
a resource to help balance interest rate risk and credit risk related to the
loan portfolio. Investments amounted to $34.4 million, or 32.0% of total
assets at December 31, 1995, up from $18.6 million, or 23.9% of total assets
at December 31, 1994.
The average 1995 tax equivalent yield on the portfolio, excluding the impact
of SFAS No. 115 market value adjustments for unrealized gains and losses on
available for sale securities as discussed below, was 6.50%, compared to 6.27%
in 1994 and 6.26% in 1993. The 1995 improvement is attributed to volume
increases in all portfolio categories, combined with slightly higher rate
repricing opportunities. During 1995, the investment securities portfolio
represented 29.8% of average earning assets and 28.2% of average total assets.
During 1994, the portfolio averaged 29.1% of earning assets and 27.1% of total
assets.
At December 31, 1995, the major portfolio components, based on amortized or
accreted cost, included 15.9% in U. S. Treasury securities, 49.4% in U. S.
agency obligations, 4.1% in mortgage backed securities, 28.7% in tax exempt
state, county and municipal bonds and 1.9% in stocks of the Federal Reserve
Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank. On December 31, 1995, the market value of the
total bond portfolio as a percentage of the book value was 100.5%, up from
98.8% a year earlier. During 1995, the bond market performance improved due to
expectations of future interest rate declines. This performance had a positive
impact on the market value of the Company's bond portfolio. As of December 31,
1995, the entire investment securities portfolio had gross unrealized gains of
$494,588 and gross unrealized losses of $327,682, for a net unrealized gain of
$166,906. As of December 31, 1994, the portfolio had a net unrealized loss of
$223,278. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, stockholders' equity included a net
unrealized gain of $24,136 and a net unrealized loss of ($168,312) recorded on
the Available for Sale portfolio as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, net of deferred tax effects. No trading account has been
established by the Company and none is anticipated.
In December, 1995, the Company exercised an option allowed by "Special
Report--a Guide to Implementation of FASB No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities--Questions and Answers" to make a
one time transfer of certain securities from the Held to Maturity portfolio to
the Available for Sale portfolio. This transfer was made to add additional
liquidity and flexibility to the portfolio to enable the Company to more
effectively manage its interest rate risk position. The amortized cost of the
investment securities transferred was $1.9 million.

The following table illustrates the contractual maturities and weighted
average yields of investment securities held at December 31, 1995. Expected
maturities will differ from contractual maturities because certain issuers
have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or
prepayment penalties. The weighted average yields are calculated on the basis
of the amortized cost and effective yields of each security weighted for the
scheduled maturity of each security. The yield on state, county and municipal
securities is computed on a taxable equivalent basis using a statutory federal
income tax rate of 34%.

As of December 31, 1995, the company had no holdings of securities of a
single issuer in which the aggregate book value and aggregate market value of
the securities exceeded ten percent of stockholders' equity, with the
exception of U. S. Treasury and U. S. Government Agencies securities.
OTHER ASSETS
The Company holds additional earning assets in overnight Federal Funds Sold.
These balances amounted to $1.8 million on both December 31, 1995 and 1994.
Balances in non-earning assets are comprised of cash and correspondent bank
balances, fixed assets, income receivable on loans and investments and other
miscellaneous assets. Management works to minimize non-earning asset balances
in order to maximize profit potential.
DEPOSITS
Deposits are the Company's primary liability and funding source. Total
deposits grew 38.3% from $67.2 million at December 31, 1994 to $93.0 million
at December 31, 1995. During 1995, 15.9% of average deposits were held in non-
interest bearing checking accounts, 22.0% were in low yield interest bearing
transaction and savings accounts, and 62.1% were in time certificates with
higher yields. Comparable average deposit mix percentages during 1994 were
16.9%, 29.4% and 53.6%, respectively. The average cost of total deposits,
including non-interest checking accounts, during 1995 was 4.39%, up from 3.28%
in 1994 and 3.66% in 1993. The increased average deposits cost in 1995 was due
in part to a shift in the mix of deposits from lower cost accounts into higher
cost certificates of deposit.
The Bank's total interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds as a
percentage of average earning assets amounted to 4.29% during 1995, up from
3.19% during 1994 and 3.50% during 1993. Even though interest rates generally
trended lower during the last half of the year 1995, repricing actions on
deposits during late 1994 and early 1995 contributed to the average increase
in the overall cost of funds.
The following table reflects average balances of deposit categories for 1995,
1994 and 1993.

providing a greater degree of stability than is typically associated with this
source of funds. The Company holds no foreign deposits.

BORROWED MONEY
Other interest bearing sources of funds at December 31, 1995 amounted to $4.7
million, up from $2.9 million at December 31, 1994. Of the 1995 balance, $3.7
million consisted of various advance agreements from the Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) under the fixed rate and principal reducing credit programs. Only
$69,500 of the FHLB notes were short term borrowings due within one year.
Demand Notes to the U. S. Treasury of $0.9 million represented accumulated
federal tax deposit payments through the Treasury Department's note option
program. The cost of borrowed money components averaged 6.37% in 1995, up from
4.80% in 1994 due to the higher cost of new longer term FHLB notes.
OTHER LIABILITIES
Other liabilities of $1.5 million at December 31, 1995 and $1.0 million at
December 31, 1994 consist of interest payable on deposits, federal income
taxes payable and other accrued but unpaid expenses.
EQUITY CAPITAL
The Company's equity capital of $8.4 million at December 31, 1995 amounts to
7.8% of total assets, compared to 9.1% at December 31, 1994. On average, the
equity capital was 8.3% of assets during 1995, compared to 9.7% for 1994. The
Bank's equity capital ratios are similar. The decline in capital as a
percentage of total assets reflects the high growth rate in assets during
1995.
The Company's capital ratios continue to be higher than the minimum capital
standards required under 12 CFR Part 3 regulatory guidelines. This indicates
the ability of the Company to support additional future balance sheet growth.
LIQUIDITY
The Company, primarily through the actions of the Bank, engages in liquidity
management to insure adequate cash flow for deposit withdrawals and credit
commitments. Needs are met through loan repayments, net interest and fee
income, and the sale or maturity of existing assets. In addition, liquidity is
continuously provided through the acquisition of new deposits or the renewal
of maturing deposits. Management monitors deposit flow and evaluates alternate
pricing structures to retain and grow deposits as needed. Through various
asset / liability management strategies, a balance is maintained among goals
of liquidity, safety and earnings potential. Balances held in cash and
correspondent banks are reviewed daily to maximize the federal funds
investment position. Internal policies which are consistent with regulatory
liquidity guidelines are monitored and enforced by the Bank.
The investment portfolio provides a ready means to raise cash without loss if
liquidity needs arise. At December 31, 1995, approximately $27.1 million in
bonds, at amortized or accreted cost, were carried in the Available for Sale
portfolio, and $3.5 million of these bonds mature within a one year period.
Only marketable investment grade bonds are purchased. The Bank from time to
time invests in short term CDs at other banks, and generally maintains a net
sold position in overnight federal funds.
Management continually monitors the relationship of loans to deposits as it
relates to the Company's liquidity posture. The Bank had ratios of loans to
deposits of 69.3%, 77.8% and 72.2% at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively, which were considered by management to be satisfactory levels
for liquidity purposes. The stability of the Bank's core deposit base is an
important factor in the company's liquidity position. A heavy percentage of
the Bank's deposit base is comprised of accounts of individuals and small
businesses with comprehensive banking relationships and limited volatility.
The Bank has no brokered deposits. Additionally, there are only minimal
amounts of deposits of public and governmental entities which require a pledge
of the Bank's assets. At December 31, 1995, the Bank had $15.9 million in
certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more. Although this represents 17.0% of
total deposits, the majority of these large CDs are stable deposits of local
individuals and small businesses. Management works to avoid reliance on
volatile deposits that might lead to liquidity pressures.
The Company has an unsecured line of credit and the Bank has established
borrowing lines for federal funds through correspondent banks. Borrowing
capacity also exists through the Bank's membership in the Federal Home Loan
Bank program. Management believes that the various funding sources discussed
above are adequate to meet the liquidity needs of the Bank and the Company in
the future without any material adverse impact on operating results.
36
<PAGE>
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DIVIDENDS
The Company has always placed great emphasis on maintaining a strong capital
base. At December 31, 1995, the combination of the Company's equity capital
accounts and its allowance for loans losses amounted to $9.6 million,
resulting in an 8.8% primary capital ratio. Although down from a 10.2% primary
capital ratio at December 31, 1994 due to 1995 balance sheet growth, the
Company's equity capital position is more than sufficient to meet all
pertinent regulatory standards for minimum capital requirements.
Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Company issued additional common stock
to new directors and executive management who joined the Company in January,
1996. The new shares of common stock were sold at current market value and
generated an additional $1.8 million in equity. The company's equity to assets
ratio at February 29, 1996 had increased to 9.6%. Outstanding stock warrants
held by the Company's organizing directors and executive officers are set to
expire in November, 1998. It is anticipated that the exercise of the warrants
at will generate an additional $1.5 million in new capital for the Company.
Regulators use a risk adjusted calculation to aid them in their
determination of capital adequacy by weighting assets based on the degree of
risk associated with on- and off-balance sheet assets. The majority of these
risk weighted assets for the Company are on-balance sheet assets in the form
of loans. A small portion of risk weighted assets are considered off-balance
sheet assets comprised of letters of credit and loan commitments. Capital is
categorized as either core (Tier 1) capital or supplementary (Tier 2) capital.
Tier 1 capital consists primarily of stockholders' equity minus any intangible
assets, while Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan losses up to
certain limits, certain short term and other preferred stock and certain debt
instruments.
Current regulatory standards require bank holding companies to maintain a
minimum risk based capital ratio of qualifying total capital to risk weighted
assets of 8.0%, with at least 4.0% of the capital consisting of Tier 1
capital, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 4.0%. Additionally, the
regulatory agencies define a well capitalized bank as one which has a leverage
ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, and a total risk
based capital ratio of at least 10%. Bancshares' capital ratios under these
guidelines as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 are well above the levels for a
well capitalized bank as shown in the following table.

<PAGE>
Cash dividends of $240,000, or $.20 per common share, were declared and paid
during 1994, up from $200,000, or $.17 per common share, paid during 1994, and
$100,000, or $.08 per share, in 1993. The ratios of cash dividends paid to net
income for these years were 17.3%, 19.0% and 16.0%, respectively. No dividends
were paid in years prior to 1992. In earlier start up years, management had
chosen to retain earnings in order to build a secure capital base to support a
larger institution in the future. Management anticipates the payment of
additional cash dividends in the future based on future earnings, financial
condition, cash needs and general business conditions.
On March 20, 1995, the Company issued a 20% stock split effected in the form
of a dividend to shareholders of record on February 28, 1995, distributing one
new share of $1.00 par value common stock for every five shares held by
stockholders. After this action, 600,000 shares of Bancshares common stock
were outstanding. On June 1, 1996, a 100% stock split was issued, also
effected in the form of a dividend, resulting in 1,200,000 retroactively
adjusted shares as of December 31, 1995. Share and per share data for all
periods presented have been retroactively restated to reflect the additional
shares outstanding resulting from the stock split.
During 1995, the Bank leased and furnished a branch location at 1897 Shurling
Drive in northeast Macon and opened its fourth full service office.
Additionally, certain equipment purchases and upgrades were made for data
processing, proof and imaging technology. The additional 1995 fixed assets
were financed through the original equity base and retained earnings of the
Bank with no external borrowing.
During 1996, it is possible that additional main office and/or branch
facilities will be constructed or purchased to accomodate the company's high
rate of growth and serve all segments of its middle Georgia market. Management
is currently reviewing various options for fixed assets expansion. It is
anticipated that increases in fixed assets will be offset by a combination of
internal financing, utilization of excess cash at the parent company, and
external borrowing.
Management is aware of no current recommendations by regulatory authorities
which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on the
company's liquidity, capital resources or operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
The Company's net income was $1,390,795, $1,052,239, and $625,967 for 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. Earnings per common and common equivalent share
amounted to $1.01 in 1995, $0.81 in 1994, and $0.49 in 1993. Share and per
share data for all periods have been retroactively restated for a 20% stock
split effected as a dividend on March 20, 1995, and a 100% stock split
effected in the form of a dividend on June 1, 1996. The Company's return on
average assets amounted to 1.51% for 1995, 1.50% for 1994, and 1.03% for 1993.
The return on average equity was 18.16%, 15.53%, and 10.12%, respectively.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income (the difference between the interest earned on assets and
the interest paid on deposits and liabilities) is the principal source of
earnings for the company. The Company's average net interest rate margin, on a
taxable equivalent basis, decreased to 5.20% during 1995, down from 5.60%
during 1994, although still strong by industry standards. The 1993 net
interest rate margin averaged 4.86%. Net interest income before tax
equivalency adjustments in 1995 amounted to $4,310,577, up 22.2% from
$3,526,568 in 1994. The net interest income of 1994 was up 33.1% from
$2,649,841 recorded in 1993. The following table presents interest income and
interest expense for the past three years. Interest income shown below has
been adjusted to reflect taxable equivalent adjustments to tax-exempt
securities income, thereby presenting interest income as if it was fully
taxable, using the Company's incremental statutory corporate federal income
tax rate of 34%.

(1) Reflects taxable equivalent adjustments using the statutory federal income
tax rate of 34% in adjusting interest on tax exempt securities to a fully
taxable basis.
Net interest income, on a tax equivalent basis, increased by approximately
$851,000 from 1994 to 1995. Essentially all of this increase is attributed to
the strong balance sheet growth during 1995. The decline of 40 basis points in
the average 1995 net interest margin of 5.20% from the 1994 margin of 5.60% is
attributed to several factors. First, the mix of assets shifted toward lower
yielding instruments in 1995. The average loan portfolio, although exhibiting
26.6% overall growth from last year, declined as a percentage of total average
assets--62.9% in 1995 compared to 65.2% in 1994. Assets shifted into less
profitable securities and overnight federal funds. This trend continued
through year end 1995, but has reverted to stronger loan growth in the early
months of 1996.
Second, the mix of deposit growth during 1995 shifted more to costlier
certificates and away from checking, savings, and low cost transaction
accounts. In 1995, average deposits were comprised of 62.0% in certificates of
deposits (including CDs of $100,000 or more and IRA CDs), and 38.0% in
checking and lower cost deposits. The comparable 1994 percentages were 53.7%
and 46.3%. Third, repricing action on certificates of deposit during 1995,
especially in the first half of the year, significantly increased average CD
yields.
Tax equivalent net interest income increased by over $912,000 from 1993 to
1994. Approximately 85%, or $774,000, of this 1994 margin improvement over
1993 can be accounted for through strong growth trends in the balance sheet,
while 15%, or $138,000, of the increase is attributed to the rising interest
rate environment during 1994.
The improvement of 74 basis points in the average 1994 net interest rate
margin of 5.60% from the 1993 level of 4.86% occurred for several reasons. A
27.2% growth factor in the loan portfolio was the major contributor. Not only
did outstanding loans increase significantly, but the proportion of loans as a
percentage of the balance sheet grew as well, creating a more profitable
balance sheet mix. Loan yields improved by 25 basis points from 1993 to 1994.
A rising rate environment fueled this increase. We experienced five increases
in the prime rate of interest during 1994, from 6.00% to 8.50% at year end.
The other significant contributor to higher margins was the controlled cost of
deposits and other borrowings. In spite of good growth patterns, the rates
paid on most deposits trended downward on average for most of 1994 until CD
maturities and repricing pressures turned the average yields upward in mid
year 1994.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
The management of interest rate risk is the primary goal of the Company's
asset/liability management function. The Company attempts to achieve
consistent growth in net interest income while limiting volatility from
changes in interest rates. Management seeks to accomplish this goal by
balancing the maturity and repricing characteristics of various assets and
liabilities. The company's asset/ liability mix is sufficiently balanced so
that the effect of interest rate moves in either direction is not expected to
be significant over time.
The primary tool used by the Company to measure its interest rate sensitivity
is a cumulative gap analysis model which seeks to measure the repricing
differentials, or gap, between rate sensitive assets and liabilities over
various time horizons. Additionally, simulation modeling is used to estimate
the impact on net interest income of overall repricing at various levels of
increase or decrease in current market interest rates.
The gap analysis models are prepared quarterly by management and are reviewed
at each meeting of the company's asset/liability management committee. The
following table reflects the gap positions of the Company's consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 at various repricing intervals. This gap
analysis indicates that the Company was moderately liability sensitive at
December 31, 1995, with a cumulative one year gap of (3.8%).

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The general nature of lending results in periodic charge offs, in spite of the
Company's continuous loan review process, credit standards, and internal
controls. The company's recent charge off history in the past two years has
been extremely good with minimal losses taken. The Company incurred net charge
offs of only $1,147 during 1995, compared to $25,417 during 1994 and $497,406
in 1993. The Company expensed $109,143 in 1995, $302,490 in 1994, and $377,790
in 1993 for loan loss provisions. The allowance for loan losses on December
31, 1995 stood at 1.75% of outstanding net loans, compared to 1.95% and 1.81%
at December 31, 1994 and 1993.
The provision for loan losses represents management's determination of the
amount necessary to be transferred to the allowance for loan losses to
maintain a level which it considers adequate in relation to the risk of future
losses inherent in the loan portfolio. It is the Bank's policy to provide for
exposure to losses principally through an ongoing loan review process. This
review process is undertaken to ascertain any probable losses which must be
charged off and to assess the risk characteristics of individually significant
loans and of the portfolio in the aggregate. This review takes into
consideration the judgments of the responsible lending officers and the Loan
Committee of the Bank Board of Directors, and also those of the regulatory
agencies that review the loans as part of their regular examination process.
During routine examinations of banks, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC), from time to time, may require additions to banks' provisions
for loan losses and allowances for loan losses if the regulators' credit
evaluations differ from those of management.
In addition to ongoing internal loan reviews and risk assessment, management
uses other factors to judge the adequacy of the allowance including current
economic conditions, loan loss experience, regulatory guidelines and current
levels of nonperforming loans. Management believes that the $1,127,609 balance
in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1995 was adequate to absorb
known risks in the loan portfolio. No assurance can be given, however, that
adverse economic conditions or other circumstances will not result in
increased losses in the company's loan portfolio.
42
<PAGE>
On January 1, 1995, the Company's adopted SFAS No. 114 "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS No. 118 "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures". Prior years
have not been restated to reflect this accounting change. Impaired loans are
loans for which principal and interest are unlikely to be collected in
accordance with the original loan terms and, generally represent loans
delinquent in excess of 90 days which have been placed on nonaccrual status
and for which collateral values are less than outstanding principal and
interest. Small balance, homogeneous loans are excluded from impaired loans.
When a loan becomes impaired, management calculates the impairment based on
the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate. If the loan is collateral dependent, the fair value
of the collateral is used to measure the amount of impairment. The amount of
impairment and any subsequent changes are recorded as an adjustment to the
reserve for loan losses. When management considers a loan, or a portion
thereof, as uncollectible, it is charged against the allowance for loan
losses.
The following table summarizes loans charged off, recoveries of loans
previously charged off and additions to the allowance which have been charged
to operating expense for the periods indicated. The company has no lease
financing or foreign loans.

An allocation of the allowance for loan losses has been made according to
the respective amounts deemed necessary to provide for the possibility of
incurred losses within the various loan categories. The allocation is based
primarily on previous charge off experience adjusted for risk characteristic
changes among each category. Additional allowance amounts are allocated by
evaluating the loss potential of individual loans that management has
considered impaired. The allowance for loan loss allocation is based on
subjective judgment and estimates,

and therefore is not necessarily indicative of the specific amounts or loan
categories in which charge offs may ultimately occur. The table below exhibits

ASSET QUALITY
Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, loans restructured due to
debtors' financial difficulties, and real estate acquired through foreclosure
and repossession. Nonaccrual loans are those loans on which recognition of
interest income has been discontinued. Restructured loans generally allow for
an extension of the original repayment period or a reduction or deferral of
interest or principal because of a deterioration in the financial position of
the borrower. Loans, whether secured or unsecured, are generally placed on
nonaccrual status when principal and/or interest is 90 days or more past due,
or sooner if it is known or expected that the collection of all principal and
interest is unlikely. Any loan past due 90 days or more, if not classified as
nonaccrual based on a determination of collectibility, is classified as a past
due loan.
Other real estate is initially recorded at the lower of cost or estimated
market value at the date of acquisition. A provision for estimated losses is
recorded when a subsequent decline in value occurs. Provisions for estimated
losses in the financial statements were $6,750 and $40,750 at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
Nonperforming assets at December 31, 1995 amounted to $581,077, or 0.54% of
total assets. The Company has been able to significantly reduce its percentage
of nonperforming assets to total assets over the past five years. These year-
end ratios have been 0.54% in 1995, 0.65% in 1994, 1.36% in 1993, 1.45% in
1992, and 4.76% in 1991. Management attributes the improvement to a
comprehensive and continuous loan review process, more thorough advance credit
analysis, tighter internal controls, a monthly review process by top
management to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and to
pinpoint potential problem loans, and the general economic health of the local
market area.

At December 31, 1995, there were other loans classified for regulatory

management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results,
liquidity, or capital resources, or (ii) represent material credits about
which any information causes management to have serious doubts as to the
ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income of $866,705 in 1995 represented a 17.2% decline from
$1,046,122 recorded in 1994. Three major items caused the decline. First,
activity in the Small Business Administration (SBA) lending program declined
significantly in 1995, resulting in a $148,000 net reduction in gains and
service fee income from SBA loans. Second, mortgage origination fee income
from real estate loans not retained by the Bank fell by $43,000. Mortgage
origination activity peaked at the Bank in 1993, and has fallen in the past
two years as a result of the interest rate cycle. Third, no significant gains
were recorded during 1995 from the sale of investment securities. Securities
gains declined by $20,000 from 1994 to 1995. The reductions were partially
offset by continued increases in service charge income on deposit accounts,
which grew by $57,000 due to strong balance sheet growth.
Noninterest income in 1994 amounted to $1,046,122, up 24.5% over $840,190
recorded in 1993. Of the $206,000 increase, approximately $185,000 of
increased noninterest income was generated from the SBA lending program
through gains in the sale of SBA loans and subsequent servicing fee income.
Volume related increases in service
45
<PAGE>
charges on deposit accounts produced approximately $102,000 in additional
income. These improvements were partially offset by an $83,000 decline in
mortgage origination fees as rising interest rates slowed mortgage financing
activity.
Noninterest income of $840,190 was recorded in 1993, up 61.1% over 1992
noninterest income of $521,502. During 1993, major increases were experienced
in mortgage origination fee income on loans not retained by the Bank. The
introduction of new services also contributed significantly to noninterest
income, including brokerage services, an asset based accounts receivable
lending program, data processing services provided to a non-affiliated
financial institution, and participation in the SBA lending program. Service
charges on deposit accounts also increased due to general growth trends in
deposits.
NONINTEREST EXPENSES
Noninterest expenses in 1995 were $3,116,540, up 12.0% over 1994 noninterest
expenses of $2,781,589. Management is generally pleased that the size of the
average balance sheet grew by 31.1% while general overhead costs were held to
a lesser 12.0% increase. Salaries and benefits expense increased by $143,000,
or 10.7%, due to staffing level increases made to accomodate Bank growth and
the new Shurling Drive branch office. Occupancy costs rose by $89,000, or
28.1%, due to costs of the new branch location and increased depreciation and
maintenance on new data processing, proof and imaging equipment. All other
overhead costs were up by $102,000, or 9.1%. Major increases were in
advertising costs and stationery and supplies needed to introduce new
technologies. Higher costs were partially offset by reductions in FDIC deposit
insurance and lower outside professional fees.
Noninterest expenses of $2,781,589 were incurred in 1994, a 19.2% increase
over 1993 noninterest expenses of $2,334,235. Salaries and benefits expense
increased by 21.4%, or $237,000, due mainly to 401(K) and bonus programs tied
to profitability goals attained, and normal inflationary salary increases.
Occupancy expenses were held to a 2.1%, or $7,000 increase, since no new
physical facilities were established during 1994. Other overhead expenses
increased by $204,000, or 22.3%. Most increases were volume related and
commensurate with the 18.4% growth rate in the balance sheet.
Noninterest expenses in 1993 amounted to $2,334,235, up 22.3% from $1,908,030
in 1992. Costs associated with the staffing and occupancy expense of the new
Westside branch office produced a large percentage of this increase. Salaries
and employee benefits increased by 27.2%, and occupancy costs rose by 16.6%.
All other overhead costs increased by 18.8%. Advertising and business
development expenses were increased substantially to focus on the expanded
physical coverage of the market area. Volume related costs such as supplies
and postage increased proportionately with balance sheet growth.
INCOME TAXES
Federal income tax expense in 1995 was $560,804, equating to a 28.7% effective
tax rate on pre-tax earnings. This effective rate is down slightly from 29.3%
in 1994. The principal item reducing the effective tax rate below federal
statutory tax rates of 34.0% has been the levels of tax exempt interest income
on municipal securities for all years shown.
Federal income tax expense of $436,372 in 1994 amounts to an effective tax
rate of 29.3% on 1994 pre-tax income. Federal income taxes for the year 1993
amounted to $205,412, for an effective tax rate of 26.4% on pre-tax earnings
for the year. Effective January 1, 1993, the company adopted SFAS No. 109
"Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach
to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax
assets and liabilities are computed annually for the differences between the
financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result
in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and
rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to
reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
46
<PAGE>
expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable
for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax
assets and liabilities. The adoption of SFAS No. 109 had the effect of
increasing 1993 net income by $53,373, the cumulative effect of the accounting
change on years prior to January 1, 1993. Prior years are not restated.
INFLATION
Inflation impacts the financial condition and operating results of the
Company. However, because most of the assets of the Bank subsidiary are
monetary in nature, the effect is less significant compared to other
commercial or industrial companies with heavy investments in inventories and
fixed assets. Inflation influences the growth of total banking assets, which
in turn produces a need for an increased equity capital base to support the
growing bank. Inflation also influences interest rates and tends to raise the
general level of salaries, operating costs and purchased services. The Company
has not attempted to measure the effect of inflation on various types of
income and expense due to difficulties in quantifying the impact.
Management's awareness of inflationary effects has led to various operational
strategies to cope with its impact. The Bank engages in various asset /
liability management strategies to control interest rate sensitivity and
minimize exposure to interest rate risk. Prices for banking products and
services are continually reviewed in relation to current costs, and overhead
cost cutting is an ongoing task.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company operates out of the premises of its subsidiary, Security
National Bank, at 700 Walnut Street, Macon, Georgia. The Company owns no real
estate, and its assets consist almost exclusively of the stock of Security
National Bank. The assets of the Bank consist primarily of loans and
investment securities. However, it owns the land and building upon which are
situated the Walnut Street main office, the Riverside Drive branch and
Westside branch; and it leases a branch location on Shurling Drive in
northeast Macon. The Bank owns the drive-up facilities at all locations, a
computer system, ATM machines at each of the branches and various other
furniture, fixtures and equipment. The Bank operates an in-house data
processing facility at its Riverside Drive office.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The shares of Common Stock of the Company are not listed on an established
securities exchange, are not traded through an automated quotation system, and
are not actively traded. See "Determination of Offering Price" for additional
information concerning the market for the Company's Common Stock.
As of June 30, 1996, there were approximately 493 shareholders of record,
held principally by residents and legal entities in Macon, Bibb County and the
surrounding areas in Middle Georgia. The corporation is not authorized to
issue any other class of its securities.
The Warrants which have been issued by the Company to its shareholders of
record as of September 20, 1996 are not traded in the over-the-counter market
on any stock exchange and are non-transferable.
As of June 30, 1996 directors, executive officers and other persons (or
their transferees) who were founding directors and executive officers of
Security National Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, were the
holders of options to purchase 359,760 shares of the Company's Common Stock at
a price of $4.165 per share. The options are required to be exercised by
November 4, 1998. In addition, shareholders of the Company approved at the
annual meeting of shareholders in 1996 the Company's Incentive Stock Option
Plan, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to grant to key officers and
employees of the Company and of the Bank options to purchase 65,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock at a price equal to the fair market value of that
stock at the time the options are granted. Certain key officers and employees
of the Company have been granted options in accordance with that plan to
purchase 60,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $10.75 per
share. The options vest, and are exercisable, over a period of five (5) years
beginning in 1996, but must be exercised in any event within ten (10) years of
the date those options are granted.
Directors, executive officers and other persons who may be deemed
"affiliates" of the Company own as of June 30, 1996 877,126 shares of the
Company's Common Stock which may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933.
Holders of Common Stock of the Company are entitled to such dividends as may
be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally
available therefor. The Company has paid quarterly cash dividends to its
shareholders since 1992. The following table sets forth the amount of each
dividend paid per share for each quarter of the Company's operations since
January 1, 1994 (figures have been adjusted to reflect the 20% stock dividend
declared by the Company as of March 20, 1995 and the two-for-one stock split
as of June 1, 1996):

Management is not aware of any reason that will prevent the Company from
continuing to pay future dividends on its Common Stock. However, there can be
no assurance of future payment of dividends, either in cash or in stock, as
the payment of such dividends will depend on the Bank's net earnings and
capital ratios which are more fully discussed under "Certain Risk Factors".
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following table sets forth the aggregate annual compensation for each of
the Company's chief executive officers and for each of the Company's executive
officers and subsidiary bank's executive officers whose compensation exceeded

(5) Prior to January, 1996, Mr. Ham also served as President of the Company
and the Bank.
Executive Officers H. Averett Walker and Richard A. Collinsworth were
elected to their positions with the Company and the Bank by the Board of
Directors in January, 1996, and therefore received no forms of salary or
benefit compensation from the Company or the Bank during calendar years prior
to 1996.
COMPENSATION PURSUANT TO PLANS
STOCK WARRANTS:
Executive officers Ham, Jackson and O'Dillon are the holders of certain
warrants issued in connection with the initial organization and stock offering
of the Bank in 1988. During organization, the Bank issued warrants to purchase
Common Stock to its organizers, interim directors and initial executive
officers. Each warrant entitled the owner to purchase one share of Common
Stock at the exercise price of $10.00 per share until the warrant expires. All
warrants issued expire ten (10) years from the date of issuance of the Bank's
charter.
Due to the formation of the Company in 1994, all outstanding warrants for
the Bank's Common Stock were automatically converted into warrants for equal
amounts of the Company's Common Stock. Due to the 20% stock split effected in
the form of a dividend on March 20, 1995, and a two-for-one stock split as of
June 1, 1996, the number of outstanding warrants for Company's Common Stock
currently stands at 359,760 shares at an exercise price of $4.165 per share
until expiration.
49
<PAGE>
After the adjustments referenced above, Robert C. Ham holds 48,000
unexercised warrants, 24,000 of which were issued to him in his capacity as an
organizer and interim director of the Bank, and 24,000 of which were issued to
him in his capacity as an initial executive officer of the Bank. The other two
initial executive officers hold a total of 24,000 unexercised warrants which
were issued to them in their capacities as initial executive officers of the
Bank.
At the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company on May 2, 1996, the
shareholders approved the adoption of an Incentive Stock Option Plan of the
Company (the "Plan"). The Plan permits the Company to grant options to
executive officers and key employees of the Company to purchase shares of the
Company's $1.00 par value Common Stock. The Plan is administered by the Board
of Directors of the Company. The Company is authorized under the Plan to issue
warrants to purchase as many as 65,000 shares of its Common Stock, and
pursuant to the provisions of that Plan, options have been issued to certain
employees of the Company to purchase 60,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at a price of $10.75 per share. As issued, the options may not be
exercised prior to one (1) year from the date the options were granted (May 2,
1996) and must be exercised within ten (10) years from the date the options
were granted. As of June 30, 1996 the following employees of the Company held
warrants issued pursuant to the Plan to purchase the indicated number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock: Rett Walker--15,000 shares; Richard
Collinsworth--10,000 shares; Shirley Jackson--10,000 shares; Michael
O'Dillon--10,000 shares; Mary Mundy--5,000 shares; John Truesdell--5,000
shares; Mike Bazemore--5,000 shares.
401(K) SAVINGS INCENTIVE AND PROFIT SHARING PLAN:
During 1995, executive officers Ham, Jackson and O'Dillon participated in
the Bank's 401(K) Savings Incentive and Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan"),
which became effective as of January 1, 1990 and which was ratified by a
majority vote of the stockholders at the April 19, 1990 Annual Meeting. The
Plan combines features whereby each participant may elect to defer certain
portions of his salary into the 401(K) program and receive credit for certain
matching amounts from the Bank, and additionally to share in the accumulation
of a profit sharing pool funded by the Bank. There are currently no other
stock bonus, money purchase, thrift, pension, profit sharing or employee stock
ownership plans, qualified or unqualified, or deferred compensation
arrangements in place at the Bank. The Plan may be amended at any regular
annual meeting or at any called meeting of the stockholders by a majority vote
of the stockholders. No such amendments have been made since the Plan's
adoption.
Any employee who was employed by the Bank on January 1, 1990 was deemed
eligible to participate in the Plan at its inception. Any other employee hired
subsequent to January 1, 1990 becomes eligible for participation upon
completion of one (1) year of service and attainment of age twenty-one (21).
As of December 31, 1995, thirty-three (33) employees of the Bank were eligible
to participate and thirty-three (33) had chosen to participate in the Plan.
Directors of the Bank are not eligible to participate in the Plan in their
capacities as directors.
The annual amount of expense incurred by the Bank for contribution to the
Plan is calculated by first determining the Bank's pre-tax adjusted operating
earnings, defined as annual pre-tax operating earnings, less capital gains,
plus capital losses. The Bank's annual contribution is 10% of the pre-tax
adjusted operating earnings, not to exceed 15% of annual eligible
participating salaries, or such other maximum deductible amount as may be
determined by Code Section 404 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
The Bank's total annual expense accrual is allocated among elements of the
Plan in the following manner:
401(K) EXPENSE:
An amount is contributed by the Bank to the 401(K) plan which, when
combined with employee salary deferrals, equals one half of the 15% of
annual participating salaries in the 401(K) plan. The Bank's 401(K)
contribution is allocated each year among the participants based on the
amount of each participating employee's elected salary deferral as a
percentage of total elected salary deferrals.
50
<PAGE>
PROFIT SHARING EXPENSE:
The remaining one half of the 15% of annual participating salaries is then
contributed by the Bank to the Profit Sharing Plan. This Profit Sharing
contribution is allocated each year among the eligible employees' accounts
in the Profit Sharing Plan based on the amount of each participating
employee's salary as a percentage of eligible salaries.
CASH BONUS EXPENSE:
For any given year, if the sum of the Bank's total annual contribution to
the Plan and the amount of total employee 401(K) salary deferral
contributions equals more than 15% of eligible participating salaries, then
the amount in excess of 15% of eligible participating salaries is
distributed as a cash bonus. Each participant shares in the cash bonus on a
pro-rata basis according to the percentage of each eligible employee's
salary to total eligible salaries. Employees who are not eligible to
participate in the Plan do not participate in the cash bonus, if any.
Based upon the calculations described above relating to the Bank's operating
results for the year, expense under the Plan was $160,452 for the year ended
December 31, 1995, $120,543 in 1994 and $72,425 in 1993. These amounts are
included in Salaries and Employee Benefits expense in the Statements of
Operations. The Bank made contributions to the 401(K) and Profit Sharing Plans
amounting to $21,815 for executive officers Ham, Jackson and O'Dillon for the
Plan year 1995, $14,223 for the Plan year 1994, and $16,227 for the Plan year
1993.
ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE PLAN:
In the March, 1994 meeting of the Bank's Board of Directors, an Annual Cash
Incentive Plan program was approved. All officers and full-time employees of
the Bank, including executive officers, participated in the Plan. Under the
Plan, goals are established based on performance factors such as earnings,
asset quality, performance against similar peer banks, and achievement of
certain other related objectives in conjunction with the Bank's five year
strategic plan and annual budget. The annual bonus for executive officers, up
to a maximum of 40% of base salary, was designed based on market comparisons
of the annual bonuses for similar positions at other companies. Individual
performance, separate from overall Bank performance, can affect bonus amounts
according to pre-established goals for each participant. Other Bank officers
participate in the Plan up to maximums of from 20% to 30% of base salaries per
scales set commensurate with position and responsibility. Full-time employees
participate in the Plan up to a maximum of 10% of base salaries based on the
attainment of several overall profitability goals and certain other
performance factors.
Total awards calculated for the year 1995 and paid to all participants in
January, 1996 amounted to $107,485. Total cash incentive expense accrued by
the Bank during 1995 was $102,000. A total of $43,313 was accrued during 1995
and paid in 1996 to executive officers Ham, Jackson and O'Dillon.
Payments of $101,956 in annual awards to Plan participants were calculated
for the year 1994 and paid to participants in January, 1995. Total cash
incentive expense accrued by the Bank for 1994 was $101,213. A total of
$38,509 was accrued during 1994 and paid in 1995 to executive officers Ham,
Jackson and O'Dillon. No such annual cash incentive bonuses were paid by the
Bank for years prior to 1994.
OTHER PLANS:
The executive officers are participants in the Bank's group insurance plans
for employees, which include medical insurance, dental insurance, life
insurance, dependent life insurance, accidental death and disability insurance
and long-term disability insurance. These group insurance plans do not
discriminate in scope, terms or operations in favor of officers of the Bank
and are available generally to all salaried employees.
51
<PAGE>
OTHER EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION:
No executive officer received during 1995 perquisites or other personal
benefits not described above which exceeded the lesser of (1) 10% of the
executive officer's disclosed total annual salary and bonus or (b) $50,000. As
of December 31, 1995, there were no other restricted stock award plans, stock
option plans, stock appreciation rights, or long term incentive plans for any
officers or employees of the Company or the Bank.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS:
During 1995, each of the Bank's directors received $250.00 per month in cash
fees as compensation for service as a Bank director. During 1994, $200.00 per
month was paid in cash fees to each Bank director. During 1993, $100.00 per
month was paid in cash fees to each Bank directors. The directors are
scheduled to receive $300.00 per month in Bank director fees during 1996. The
Company pays no compensation to these individuals in their capacity as
directors of the holding company. No fees are paid for committee meetings or
special assignments.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENT:
On January 10, 1996, the Company and the Bank entered into a letter
agreement with H. Averett Walker ("Walker"), employing Walker as President and
Chief Operating Officer of the Company and the Bank for an initial base salary
of $125,000.00 during 1996. The term of the agreement continues from and after
the date commenced until terminated in accordance with the letter agreement.
The base salary to be paid to Walker in future years is to be determined
annually by the Personnel Committee of the Bank Board of Directors. The
agreement calls for Walker's participation in the officers' annual cash
incentive bonus plan and various other fringe benefits.
Pursuant to the 1996 Incentive Stock Option Plan which was approved by
shareholders of the Company, Walker is to be granted incentive stock options
to purchase up to 15,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at the fair
market value of such stock at the date of such grant. The options will vest at
the rate of 20% per year after such grant until fully vested five (5) years
after such grant. Upon Walker's death or total disability, the Company is
committed to pay any accrued by unpaid base salary, and all options granted as
of the date of death or total disability shall remain exercisable. If Walker's
employment is terminated "for cause" (as defined), all payments and benefits
under the letter agreement cease effective with the termination of employment,
and all unexercised options are forfeited If Company and the Bank terminate
Walker's employment without cause, he will continue to receive base salary and
insurance benefits for six (6) months, and vested options may be exercised
within thirty (30) days after the termination date.
Walker's letter agreement includes "change of control" provisions (as
defined), whereby, if a change in control occurs or is proposed within the
first six (6) years of the agreement and Walker's employment is terminated
within one (1) year of such change of control, Walker will be entitled to one
year of base salary, bonus compensation and insurance benefits, with all
options becoming immediately exercisable. The agreement includes certain one
(1) year restrictions on Walker concerning nondisclosure of proprietary
information, and covenants not to compete or solicit customers or employees of
the Company or the Bank.
There are no other compensatory plans, employment contracts or change in
control arrangements with any of the executive officers included above which
would result in any payments to said officers as a result of resignation,
retirement or any other termination of such individual's employment with the
Company or the Bank or from a change in control of Company or the Bank.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
SNB Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SNB
BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December
31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on
a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SNB
BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the
results of operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Notes 3 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, SNB
BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY changed its methods of accounting for
investment securities and income taxes in 1994 and 1993, respectively.

SNB BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SNB Bancshares, Inc. was formed as a one-bank holding company on September
30, 1994. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SNB
Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Security National Bank (the
Bank) located in Macon, Georgia. All significant intercompany accounts have
been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of SNB Bancshares, Inc.
conform to generally accepted accounting principles and practices utilized in
the commercial banking industry. The following is a description of the more
significant of those policies.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses for the
period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses,
the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in
satisfaction of loans and the valuation of deferred tax assets.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities, whereby the Bank classifies its securities as
trading, available for sale or held to maturity. Trading securities are
purchased and held for sale in the near term. Securities held to maturity are
those which the Bank has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All
other securities not classified as trading or held to maturity are considered
available for sale.
Securities available for sale are measured at fair value with unrealized
gains and losses reported net of deferred taxes as a separate component of
stockholders' equity. Fair value represents an approximation of realizable
value as of December 31, 1995 and 1994. Realized and unrealized gains and
losses are determined using the specific identification method.
LOANS
Interest income on loans is recognized using the effective interest method
on all loans except for certain installment add-on loans. Interest on these
loans is recognized using the rule of 78's, which results in no material
difference from the use of the effective interest method.
Loans are generally reported at principal amount less unearned interest and
fees. On January 1, 1995, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan and
SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income
Recognition and Disclosures. Impaired loans are loans for which principal and
interest are unlikely to be collected in accordance with the original loan
terms and, generally, represent loans delinquent in excess of 90 days which
have been placed on nonaccrual status and for which collateral values are less
than outstanding principal and interest. Small balance, homogeneous loans are
excluded from impaired loans. Generally, interest payments received on
impaired loans are applied to principal. Upon receipt of all loan principal,
additional interest payments are recognized as interest income on the cash
basis.
Other nonaccrual loans are loans for which payments of principal and
interest are considered doubtful of collection under original terms but
collateral values equal or exceed outstanding principal and interest.
Security National Bank's loans consist of commercial, financial and
agricultural loans, real estate mortgage loans and consumer loans primarily to
individuals and entities located throughout middle Georgia. Accordingly, the
ultimate collectibility of the loans is largely dependent upon economic
conditions in the middle Georgia area.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance method is used in providing for losses on loans. Accordingly,
all loan losses decrease the allowance and all recoveries increase it. The
provision for loan losses is based on factors which, in management's judgment,
deserve current recognition in estimating possible loan losses. Such factors
considered by management include growth and composition of the loan portfolio,
economic conditions and the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to
outstanding loans.
An allowance for loan losses is maintained for all impaired loans.
Provisions are made for impaired loans upon changes in expected future cash
flows or estimated net realizable value of collateral. When determination is
made that impaired loans are wholly or partially uncollectible, the
uncollectible portion is charged off.
Management believes the allowance for possible loan losses is adequate.
While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans,
future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in
economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral
part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance
for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to
the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at
the time of their examination.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost net of accumulated
depreciation.
Depreciation is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. The estimated useful lives and methods of depreciation are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
DESCRIPTION LIFE IN YEARS METHOD
----------- ------------- -------------
<S> <C> <C>
Banking Premises 30 Straight-Line
Furniture and Equipment 5-25 Straight-Line
</TABLE>
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance
and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When property and equipment
are retired or sold, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from
the respective accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income or
expense.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in
the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus
deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the
basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax
purposes. The differences relate primarily to depreciable assets (use of
different depreciation methods for financial statement and income tax
purposes) and allowance for loan losses (use of the allowance method for
financial statement purposes and the experience method for tax purposes). The
deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return
consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible
when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
OTHER REAL ESTATE
Other real estate generally represents real estate acquired through
foreclosure and is initially recorded at the lower of cost or estimated market
value at the date of acquisition. A provision for estimated losses is recorded
when a subsequent decline in value occurs. Provisions for estimated losses
included in the 1995 financial statements total $6,750.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
To be considered "well capitalized," a financial institution must generally
have a leverage ratio of at least 5 percent, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio
of at least 6 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10
percent. As of December 31, 1995, the Bank was in compliance with its minimum
regulatory capital requirements and is considered "well capitalized" as
defined by FDICIA.
Cash dividends payable to stockholders are limited by various bank
regulatory agencies. Standard limitations may be exceeded by specific approval
of regulatory authorities.

(8) INCOME TAXES
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which
requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting
for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed
annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of
assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in
the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in
which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or
refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in
deferred tax assets and liabilities.

(13) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Bank has a 401(K) Savings Incentive and Profit Sharing Plan effective as
of January 1, 1990. All employees as of the effective date were eligible to
participate in the plan. Subsequently-employed persons become eligible after
having completed one year of service and attaining the age of 21. Employer
contributions to the plan include salary reduction deferrals elected by
employees, a discretionary matching contribution based on the salary reduction
elected by the individual employees and a discretionary amount allocated based
on compensation received by eligible participants. Expense under the plan was
$160,452 in 1995, $120,543 in 1994 and $72,425 in 1992.
(14) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, certain commitments and contingencies are

(15) NONCOMPENSATORY STOCK OPTION PLAN
In connection with the original stock offering, the Bank issued 149,900
warrants to its organizers, interim directors and initial executive officers
for the purchase of common stock. Each option entitled the owner to purchase
one share of Bank stock at the exercise price of $10 per share until the
warrant expires. Upon formation of SNB Bancshares, Inc. in a one-for-one
exchange of common stock effective September 30, 1994, the outstanding
warrants were transformed into entitlements to purchase an equivalent number
of shares of common stock of the holding company. As a result of stock splits
effected in the form of dividends, the number of outstanding warrants
increased to 359,760 with an adjusted exercise price of $4.165 per share. A

(23) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face
of the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The
assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of SNB Bancshares'
financial instruments are detailed below. Where quoted prices are not
available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flows and
other valuation techniques. The use of discounted cash flows can be
significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate
and estimates of future cash flows. The following disclosures should not be
considered a surrogate of the liquidation value of the Company, but rather a
good-faith estimate of the increase or decrease in value of financial
instruments held by the Bank since purchase, origination or issuance.
CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS--For cash, due from banks and federal funds
sold, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE--Fair values for investment
securities are based on quoted market prices.
LOANS--The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the
future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be
made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. For variable rate loans, the
carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
DEPOSIT LIABILITIES--The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts
and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the
reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently
offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT--Because standby letters of credit are made using
variable rates, the contract value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company's financial
instruments as of December 31, 1995 are as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
(23) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
market information and information about the financial instrument. These
estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from
offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial
instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's
financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes
in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial
instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future
business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered
financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not
considered financial instruments include the mortgage banking operation,
brokerage network, deferred income taxes and premises and equipment. In
addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized

[LETTERHEAD OF SNB APPEARS HERE]
September 30, 1996
Dear Shareholder:
The purpose of this letter is to announce the offering by SNB Bancshares,
Inc. of 272,560 shares of its $1.00 par value common stock at a price of $13.50
per share. Although holders of common stock of SNB Bancshares, Inc. do not have
preemptive rights to purchase additional shares issued by the Company, the Board
of Directors of SNB Bancshares, Inc. has decided to first offer the shares of
its common stock to shareholders of the Company pursuant to warrants issued by
the Company. The enclosed prospectus by which this offering is made provides
information with respect to SNB Bancshares, Inc. and the offering. THE
PROSPECTUS SHOULD BE CAREFULLY REVIEWED BEFORE ANY DECISION TO INVEST.
The warrants entitle each shareholder of SNB Bancshares, Inc. to purchase
one share of the Company's common stock for each five shares of the Company's
common stock owned of record by that shareholder as of September 20, 1996. Your
warrant to purchase the shares of the Company is enclosed, and specifies the
number of shares you are entitled to purchase. The warrants do not entitle
shareholders to purchase fractional shares; instead, the right to purchase less
than one-half share has been rounded down, and the right to purchase one-half
share or more has been rounded up.
You may subscribe for a greater number of shares than provided in the
warrant. However, any subscription for additional shares can be satisfied only
from shares which are not purchased by shareholders of the Company pursuant to
the exercise of the warrants. In addition, in order to increase the shareholder
base of the Company, any shares which are not purchased pursuant to the exercise
of the warrants will also be offered to members of the general public who reside
in the State of Georgia at the same price as the shares are offered to
shareholders of the Company.
Any shareholder subscribing for excess shares should indicate on the
Exercise Form attached as Exhibit "A" to the enclosed warrant the number of
additional shares to which you wish to subscribe. You will be notified whether
the subscription has been accepted by the Board of Directors. Subscriptions for
excess shares can be withdrawn if written notice to that effect is received by
the Board of Directors prior to the acceptance of the subscription. If your
subscription for excess shares is accepted, you must promptly forward a check in
the amount of the excess subscription accepted by the Board of Directors within
ten (10) days after notice thereof; otherwise, the Company will be entitled to
cancel the subscription for the excess shares.

September 30, 1996

The warrants issued by the Company are non-transferable, and must be
exercised in accordance with the instructions contained in the warrant and will
expire and be of no further force and effect if not exercised in accordance with
those instructions on or before October 30, 1996. The exercise of the warrants
should be accompanied by a check payable to SNB Bancshares, Inc. in an amount
equal to the number of shares you elect to purchase pursuant to the exercise of
the warrants times $13.50 per share. IF YOU ELECT TO SUBSCRIBE TO ADDITIONAL
SHARES, DO NOT SEND A CHECK FOR THE ADDITIONAL SHARES UNTIL YOU ARE NOTIFIED BY
SNB BANCSHARES, INC. THAT YOUR EXCESS SUBSCRIPTION HAS BEEN ACCEPTED. A self-
addressed envelope is enclosed for your convenience.
If you should have any questions concerning the offering, please call Rett
Walker at (912) 752-7394, or call me at (912) 752-7380.
Yours very truly,
SNB BANCSHARES, INC.
