Forward Looking Statement Disclosure





Statements
in this Quarterly Report regarding future events or performance are
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the PSLRA) and are made pursuant to the safe
harbors of the PSLRA.  Actual results of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (the
Company) could be quite different from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements.  Any statements containing the words
“could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “believe,” “anticipates,” “estimates,”
“predicts,” “expects,” “projections,” “potential,” “continue,” or words of
similar import, constitute “forward-looking statements”, as do any other
statements that expressly or implicitly predict future events, results, or
performance.   Factors that could cause results to differ from
results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements include, among
others, risks discussed in the text of this Quarterly Report as well as the
following specific items:





·
            General
      economic conditions, whether national or regional, that could affect the
      demand for loans or lead to increased loan
  losses;





·
            Competitive
      factors, including increased competition with community, regional, and
      national financial institutions, that may lead to pricing pressures that
      reduce yields the Company achieves on loans and increase rates the Company
      pays on deposits, loss of the Company’s most valued customers, defection
      of key employees or groups of employees, or other
  losses;





·
            Increasing
      or decreasing interest rate environments, including the shape and level of
      the yield curve, that could lead to decreases in net interest margin,
      lower net interest and fee income, including lower gains on sales of
      loans, and changes in the value of the Company’s investment
      securities;





·
            Changing
      business or regulatory conditions, or new legislation, affecting the
      financial services industry that could lead to increased costs, changes in
      the competitive balance among financial institutions, or revisions to our
      strategic focus;





·
            Changes
      or failures in technology or third party vendor relationships in important
      revenue production or service areas, or increases in required investments
      in technology that could reduce our revenue, increase our costs or lead to
      disruptions in our business.





·
            Readers
      are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking
      statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date of the
      statements.  The Company does not intend to publicly revise or
      update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that
      arise after the date of this
report.





Readers
should carefully review all disclosures we file from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

COLONY
BANKCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





(1)
            Summary
      of Significant Accounting Policies





Principles
of Consolidation





Colony
Bankcorp, Inc. (the Company) is a multi-bank holding company located in
Fitzgerald, Georgia. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Colony Bank of
Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald, Georgia; Colony Bank Ashburn (which includes its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Georgia First Mortgage Company), Ashburn, Georgia;
Colony Bank Worth, Sylvester, Georgia; Colony Bank of Dodge County, Eastman,
Georgia; Colony Bank Wilcox, Rochelle, Georgia; Colony Bank Southeast, Broxton,
Georgia; Colony Bank Quitman, FSB, Quitman, Georgia (the Banks); and Colony
Management Services, Inc., Fitzgerald, Georgia. All significant intercompany
accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting
policies of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. conform to generally accepted accounting
principles and practices utilized in the commercial banking
industry.





All
dollars in notes to consolidated financial statements are rounded to the nearest
thousand.





Nature
of Operations





The Banks
provide a full range of retail and commercial banking services for consumers and
small to medium size businesses located primarily in middle and south Georgia.
Lending and investing activities are funded primarily by deposits gathered
through its retail branch office network.





Use
of Estimates





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 goodwill and other intangible assets.





Reclassifications





In
certain instances, amounts reported in prior years’ consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to statement presentations selected
for 2008.   Such reclassifications had no effect on previously
reported stockholders’ equity or net income.





Concentrations
of Credit Risk





Lending
is concentrated in commercial and real estate loans primarily to local
borrowers. The Company has a high concentration of real estate loans that could
pose an adverse credit risk particularly with the current economic downturn in
the real estate market.  In management’s opinion, the balance of the
loan portfolio is sufficiently diversified to avoid significant concentration of
credit risk. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a
substantial portion of borrowers’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent
upon the viability of the real estate economic sector.





The
success of Colony is dependent, to a certain extent, upon the economic
conditions in the geographic markets it serves. Adverse changes in the economic
conditions in these geographic markets would likely have a material adverse
effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. The
operating results of Colony depend primarily on its net interest income.
Accordingly, operations are subject to risks and uncertainties surrounding the
exposure to changes in the interest rate environment.





At times,
the Company may have cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions in
excess of insured limits.  The Company places its cash and cash
equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions whose credit rating
is monitored by management to minimize credit risk.

Accounting
Policies





The
accounting and reporting policies of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries
are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted and conform to
general practices within the banking industry. The significant accounting
policies followed by Colony
and the methods of applying those policies are summarized
hereafter.





Investment
Securities





Investment
securities are recorded under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 115, whereby the Company classifies its securities as trading, available for
sale or held to maturity. Securities that are held principally for resale in the
near term are classified as trading. Trading securities are carried at fair
value, with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in noninterest
income. Securities acquired with both the intent and ability to be held to
maturity are classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost. All
other securities not classified as trading or held to maturity are considered
available for sale.





Securities
available for sale are reported at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and
losses on securities available for sale are excluded from earnings and are
reported, net of deferred taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income, a
component of stockholders’ equity. Declines in the fair value of
held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are
deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.
In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1)
the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than
cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (3)
the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for
a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
Gains and losses from sales of securities available for sale are computed using
the specific identification method. This caption includes securities, which may
be sold to meet liquidity needs arising from unanticipated deposit and loan
fluctuations, changes in regulatory capital requirements, or unforeseen changes
in market conditions.





Federal
Home Loan Bank Stock





Investment
in stock of a Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) isrequired for every
federally insured institution that utilizes its services. FHLB stock is
considered restricted, as defined in SFAS No. 115; accordingly, the provisions
of SFAS No. 115 are not applicable to this investment. The FHLB stock is
reported in the consolidated financial statements at cost. Dividend income is
recognized when earned.





Loans





Loans
that the Company has the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future
or until maturity are recorded at their principal amount outstanding, net of
unearned interest and fees.  Loan origination fees, net of certain
direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized over the estimated terms of
the loans using the straight-line method.  Interest income on loans is
recognized using the effective interest method.





A loan is
considered to be delinquent when payments have not been made according to
contractual terms, typically evidenced by nonpayment of a monthly installment by
the due date.





When
management believes there is sufficient doubt as to the collectibility of
principal or interest on any loan or generally when loans are 90 days or more
past due, the accrual of applicable interest is discontinued and the loan is
designated as nonaccrual, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of
collection. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are either applied
against principal or reported as income, according to management’s judgment as
to the collectibility of principal. Loans are returned to an accrual status when
factors indicating doubtful collectibility on a timely basis no longer
exist.





Allowance
for Loan Losses





The
allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have
occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses
are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility
of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to
the allowance.

            Summary

Allowance
for Loan Losses (Continued)





The
allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is
based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in
light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated
value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This
evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes
available.





The
allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific
component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful or
substandard.  For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an
allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or
observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value
of that loan. The
general component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical loss
experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is
maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of
probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin
of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies
for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.





A loan is
considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of
principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include
payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled
principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant
payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls
on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances
surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the
reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the
shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured
on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable
market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent.





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:

            Life in Years

            5-20
            
            Straight-Line





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.





Goodwill
and Intangible Assets





Goodwill
represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of the net assets
purchased in a business combination.  Impairment testing of goodwill
is performed annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate
possible impairment.  No impairment has been identified as a result of
the testing performed.





Intangible
assets consist of core deposit intangibles acquired in connection with a
business combination.  The core deposit intangible is initially
recognized based on a valuation performed as of the consummation
date.  The core deposit intangible is amortized by the straight-line
method over the average remaining life of the acquired customer
deposits.  Amortization periods are reviewed annually in connection
with the annual impairment testing of goodwill.

Transfers
of Financial Assets





Transfers
of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has
been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered
when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee
obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of
that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Company
does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an
agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.





Statement
of Cash Flows





For
reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand,
noninterest-bearing amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Cash flows
from demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts, loans and certificates of
deposit are reported net.





Advertising
Costs





The
Company expenses the cost of advertising in the periods in which those costs are
incurred.





Income
Taxes





The
provision for income taxes is based upon income for financial statement
purposes, adjusted for nontaxable income and nondeductible expenses. Deferred
income taxes have been provided when different accounting methods have been used
in determining income for income tax purposes and for financial reporting
purposes.





Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on future tax consequences
attributable to differences arising from the financial statement carrying values
of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. 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 direct write-off
method for tax purposes). In the event of changes in the tax laws, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are adjusted in the period of the enactment of those
changes, with effects included in the income tax provision. The Company and its
subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Each subsidiary pays
its proportional share of federal income taxes to the Company based on its
taxable income.





Positions
taken in the Company’s tax returns may be subject to challenge by the taxing
authorities upon examination.  Uncertain tax positions are initially
recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the
position will be sustained upon examination by the tax
authorities.  Such tax positions are both initially and subsequently
measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent
likely of being realized upon settlement with the tax authority, assuming full
knowledge of the position and all relevant facts.  The Company
provides for interest and, in some cases, penalties on tax positions that may be
challenged by the taxing authorities.  Interest expense is recognized
beginning in the first period that such interest would begin
accruing.  Penalties are recognized in the period that the Company
claims the position in the tax return.  Interest and penalties on
income tax uncertainties are classified within income tax expense in the
consolidated statement of income.





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. Losses from the acquisition of property in full or partial
satisfaction of debt are recorded as loan losses. Subsequent declines in value,
routine holding costs and gains or losses upon disposition are included in other
losses.





Comprehensive
Income





Accounting
principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses
be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as
unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, represent equity
changes from economic events of the period other than transactions with owners
and are not reported in the consolidated statements of income but as a separate
component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Such items
are considered components of other comprehensive income. SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income,requires the presentation in the financial statements of net income and
all items of other comprehensive income as total comprehensive
income.

Off-Balance
Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments





In the
ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to extend
credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such
financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.





Changes
in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting
Pronouncements





SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations
(Revised 2007).SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations,and
applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control
over one or more other businesses.  SFAS No. 141R requires an
acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the
assets, liabilities and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair
value as of the acquisition date.  Contingent consideration is
required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition
rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be
determinable beyond a reasonable doubt.  This fair value approach
replaces the cost-allocation process required under SFAS No. 141 whereby the
cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value.  SFAS No.
141R requires acquirers to expense acquisition-related costs as incurred rather
than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as
was previously the case under SFAS No. 141.  Under SFAS No. 141R, the
requirements of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities,would have to be met in order to accrue for
a restructuring plan in purchase accounting.  Pre-acquisition
contingencies are to be recognized at fair value, unless it is a noncontractual
contingency that is not likely to materialize, in which case, nothing should be
recognized in purchase accounting and, instead, that contingency would be
subject to the probable and estimable recognition criteria of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies.SFAS No. 141R is expected to have an impact on
the Company’s accounting for business combinations closing on or after January
1, 2009.





In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements.  SFAS No. 157 enhances existing guidance for
measuring assets and liabilities using fair value.  Before the
issuance of SFAS No. 157, guidance for applying fair value was incorporated in
several accounting pronouncements.  SFAS No. 157 provides a single
definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and
requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and
liabilities.  SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is
market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out a
fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active
markets.  Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by
level within that hierarchy.  While SFAS No. 157 does not add any new
fair value measurements, it does change current practice.  Changes to
practice include: (1) a requirement for an entity to include its own credit
standing in the measurement of its liabilities; (2) a modification of the
transaction price presumption; (3) a prohibition on the use of block discounts
when valuing large blocks of securities for broker-dealers and investment
companies; and (4) a requirement to adjust the value of restricted stock for the
effect of the restriction even if the restriction lapses within one
year.  The adoption of this standard January 1, 2008 did not have a
material effect on the financial position, results of operations or
disclosures.





In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment to FASB Statement No.
115.  This statement permits entities to choose to measure many
financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value.  The objective is to
improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to
mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions.  This statement requires a business entity to report unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in
earnings at each subsequent reporting date.  An entity may decide
whether to elect the fair value option for each eligible item on its election
date, subject to certain requirements described in the statement.  The
adoption of this standard January 1, 2008 did not have an effect on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations or disclosures.





SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB Statement No.
51.SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No.
51, Consolidated Financial
Statements,to establish accounting and reporting standards
for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary.  SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in
a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as minority interest, is an
ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a
component of equity in the consolidated financial statements.  Among
other requirements, SFAS No. 160
requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the
amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling
interest.  It also requires disclosure, on the face of the
consolidated statements of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest.  SFAS
No. 160 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009 and is not expected to
have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit
Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance
Arrangements.EITF No. 06-4 requires the recognition of a
liability and related compensation expense for endorsement split-dollar life
insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to
postretirement periods.  Under EITF No. 06-4, life insurance policies
purchased for the purpose of providing such benefits do not effectively settle
an entity’s obligation to the employee.  Accordingly, the entity must
recognize a liability and related compensation expense during the employee’s
active service period based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred
during the employee’s retirement.  If the entity has agreed to provide
the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death
benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS No. 106, Employer’s Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.The adoption of
this standard January 1, 2008 did not have an effect on the Company’s financial
position, results of operations or disclosures.

Management
evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly
basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such
evaluation.  Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the
extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial
condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (3) the intent and ability
of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time
sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.





At March
31, 2008, the debt securities with unrealized losses have depreciated 0.82
percent from the Company’s amortized cost basis.  These securities are
guaranteed by either U.S. Government or other governments.  These
unrealized losses relate principally to current interest rates for similar type
of securities.  In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition,
management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government
or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred and
the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.  As
management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the
foreseeable future if classified as available-for-sale, no declines are deemed
to be other-than-temporary.

(8)  Income
Taxes





The
Company records income taxes under 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.





(9) Fair Value
Measurements





SFAS No.
157, Fair Value Measurements,defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value,
establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value
measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value
measurements.  The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency
of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement
date.  The three levels are defined as follows:





·
            
            Level
      1
            
            inputs
      to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical
      assets or liabilities in active markets.·
            
            Level
      2
            
            inputs
      to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and
      liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the
      asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
      full term of the financial instrument.·
            
            Level
      3
            
            inputs
      to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair
      value measurement.

(9) Fair Value Measurements
(Continued)





Following
is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at
fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant
to the valuation hierarchy:





Assets





Securities





Where
quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified
within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  Level 1 inputs include
securities that have quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets.  If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values
are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar
characteristics, or discounted cash flow.  Examples of such
instruments, which would generally be classified within level 2 of the valuation
hierarchy, included certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and
certain high-yield debt securities.  In certain cases where there is
limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities
are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.  The
company’s current portfolio does not have level 3 securities as of March 31,
2008.  When measuring fair value, the valuation techniques available
under the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach are
used.  The Company’s evaluations are based on market data and the
Company employs combinations of these approaches for its valuation methods
depending on the asset class.





Impaired
loans





SFAS No.
157 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients
permitted by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan,including impaired loans measured at an observable
market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if
the loan is collateral dependent).  Fair value of the loan’s
collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by
appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related
to liquidation of the collateral.





Other Real Estate
Owned





Certain
assets such as other real estate owned (OREO) are measured at fair value less
cost to sell.  We believe that the fair value component in its
valuation follows the provisions of SFAS No. 157.  Fair value of OREO
at March 31, 2008 was determined by sales agreement.  Cost to sell
associated with OREO was based on estimation per the terms and conditions of the
sales agreement.





Assets
measured at fair value at March 31, 2008 are as follows:

(12) Subordinated Debentures
(Trust Preferred Securities)





During
the second quarter of 2004, the Company formed a third subsidiary whose sole
purpose was to issue $4,500 in Trust Preferred Securities through a pool
sponsored by FTN Financial Capital Markets.  The Trust Preferred
Securities have a maturity of 30 years and are redeemable after five years with
certain exceptions.  At March 31, 2008, the floating rate securities
had a 5.48 percent interest rate, which will reset quarterly at the three-month
LIBOR rate plus 2.68 percent





During
the second quarter of 2006, the Company formed a fourth subsidiary whose sole
purpose was to issue $5,000 in Trust Preferred Securities through a pool
sponsored by SunTrust Capital Markets.  The Trust Preferred Securities
have a maturity of 30 years and are redeemable after five years with certain
exceptions.  At March 31, 2008 the floating-rate securities had a 4.20
percent interest rate, which will reset quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate
plus 1.50 percent.





During
the first quarter of 2007, the Company formed a fifth subsidiary whose sole
purpose was to issue $9,000 in Trust Preferred Securities through a pool
sponsored by Trapeza Capital Management, LLC.  The Trust Preferred
Securities have a maturity of 30 years and are redeemable after five years with
certain exceptions.  At March 31, 2008, the floating-rate securities
had a 4.35 percent interest
rate, which will reset quarterly at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.65
percent.  Proceeds from this issuance were used to payoff the trust
preferred securities with the first subsidiary formed in March 2002 as the
Company exercised its option to call.





During
the third quarter of 2007, the company formed a sixth subsidiary whose sole
purpose was to issue $5,000 in Trust Preferred Securities through a pool
sponsored by Trapeza Capital Management, LLC.  The Trust Preferred
Securities have a maturity of 30 years and are redeemable after five years with
certain exceptions.  At March 31, 2008, the floating-rate securities
had a 4.65 percent interest rate, which will reset quarterly at the three-month
LIBOR rate plus 1.40 percent.  Proceeds from this issuance were used
to payoff the trust preferred securities with the second subsidiary formed in
December 2002 as the Company exercised its option to call.





The Trust
Preferred Securities are recorded as subordinated debentures on the consolidated
balance sheets, but subject to certain limitations, qualify as Tier 1 Capital
for regulatory capital purposes.  The proceeds from the offering were
used to fund the cash portion of the Quitman acquisition, payoff holding company
debt, and inject capital into bank subsidiaries.





(13)  Restricted
Stock – Unearned Compensation





In 1999,
the board of directors of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. adopted a restricted stock grant
plan which awards certain executive officers common shares of the
Company.  The maximum number of shares (split-adjusted) which may be
subject to restricted stock awards is 64,701.  To date, 77,052
split-adjusted shares have been issued under this plan and since the plan’s
inception, 12,351 shares have been forfeited; thus, remaining shares which may
be subject to restricted stock awards are none at March 31, 2008.  The
shares are recorded at fair market value (on the date granted) as a separate
component of stockholders’ equity.  The cost of these shares is being
amortized against earnings using the straight-line method over three years (the
restriction period.)





In April
2004, the stockholders of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. adopted a restricted stock grant
plan which awards certain executive officers common shares of the
Company.  The maximum number of shares which may be subject to
restricted stock awards (split-adjusted) is 143,500.  To date, 34,406
shares have been issued under this plan and since the plan’s inception 5,548
shares have been forfeited, thus remaining shares which may be subject to
restricted stock awards are 114,642 at March 31, 2008.  The shares are
recorded at fair market value (on the date granted) as a separate component of
stockholders’ equity.  The cost of these shares is being amortized
against earnings using the straight-line method over three years (the
restriction period).





(14) Profit Sharing
Plan





The
Company has a profit sharing plan that covers substantially all employees who
meet certain age and service requirements.  It is the Company’s policy
to make contributions to the plan as approved annually by the board of
directors.  The provision for the three months ended March 31, 2008
was $155 compared to $209 for the three months ended March 31,
2007.  The total provision for contributions to the plan was $584 for
2007, $663 for 2006 and $558 for 2005.





(15) Commitments and
Contingencies





Credit-Related Financial
Instruments.The Company is a party to credit related
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of
business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of
credit and commercial letters of credit.  Such commitments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

(15) Commitments and
Contingencies (Continued)





The
Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of
these commitments.  The Company follows the same credit policies in
making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.





At March
31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 the following financial instruments were
outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

            3,814





Commitments
to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no
violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee.  The commitments for equity lines of credit
may expire without being drawn upon.  Therefore, the total commitment
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The
amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company, is
based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.





Unfunded
commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and
overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions
of credit to existing customers.  These lines of credit are
uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may
not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is
committed.





Standby
and performance letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued by
the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
party.  Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public
and private borrowing arrangements.  Essentially all letters of credit
issued have expiration dates within one year.  The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved
in extending loan facilities to customers.





Purchase
Commitments.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company had an
outstanding commitment of approximately $1,967 to construct and furnish an
office in Savannah.  As of March 31, 2008, the Company has paid $1,020
toward construction in process.





Legal
Contingencies.  In the ordinary course of business, there are
various legal proceedings pending against Colony and its
subsidiaries.  The aggregate liabilities, if any, arising from such
proceedings would not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse
effect on Colony’s consolidated financial position.





(16) Deferred Compensation
Plan





Two of
the Bank subsidiaries have deferred compensation plans covering directors
choosing to participate through individual deferred compensation
contracts.  In accordance with terms of the contracts, the Banks are
committed to pay the directors deferred compensation over a specified number of
years, beginning at age 65.  In the event of a director’s death before
age 65, payments are made to
the director’s named beneficiary over a specified number of years, beginning on
the first day of the month following the death of the director.





Liabilities
accrued under the plans totaled $1,150 and $1,159 as of March 31, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively.  Benefit payments under the contracts
were $47 and $47 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and March 31,
2007, respectively.   Provisions charged to operations totaled
$37 and $39 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007,
respectively.





Fee
income recognized with deferred compensation plans totaled $61 and $49 for three
month period ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively.

(17) Regulatory Capital
Matters





The
Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by
federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and, possibly, additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory
framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The
Company’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other
factors.





Quantitative
measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the
Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets.  The
amounts and ratios as defined in regulations
are presented hereafter.  Management believes, as of March 31, 2008,
the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject under
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  In the opinion
of management, there are no conditions or events since prior notification of
capital adequacy from the regulators that have changed the institution’s
category.





The
following table summarizes regulatory capital information as of March 31, 2008
and December 31, 2007 on a consolidated basis and for each significant
subsidiary, as defined.

(19) Earnings Per
Share





SFAS No.
128 establishes standards for computing and presenting basic and diluted
earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share is calculated and
presented based on income available to common stockholders divided by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting
periods.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
of restricted stock.  The following presents earnings per share for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, under the
requirements of Statement 128:

Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. The
Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to
reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made,
or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.





The
Company





Colony
Bankcorp, Inc. (Colony) is a bank holding company headquartered in Fitzgerald,
Georgia that provides, through its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively
referred to as the Company), a broad array of products and services throughout
18 Georgia markets. The Company offers commercial, consumer and mortgage banking
services.





Application
of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates





The
accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and
conform to general practices within the banking industry.  The
Company’s financial position and results of operations are affected by
management’s application of accounting policies, including judgments made to
arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for
revenues, expenses and related disclosures.  Different assumptions in
the application of these policies could result in material changes in the
Company’s financial position and/or results of operations.  Critical
accounting policies are those policies that management believes are the most
important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of
operations, and they require management to make estimates that are difficult,
subjective or complete.





Allowance for Loan Losses –
The allowance for loan losses provides coverage for probable losses inherent in
the Company’s loan portfolio.  Management evaluates the adequacy of
the allowance for loan losses quarterly based on changes, if any, in
underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix
and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan
performance, regulatory guidance and economic factors.  This
evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires the use of significant
management estimates.  Many factors can affect management’s estimates
of specific and expected losses, including volatility of default probabilities,
collateral values, rating migrations, loss severity and economic and political
conditions.   The allowance is increased through provisions
charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs.





The
company determines the amount of the allowance based on relative risk
characteristics of the loan portfolio.  The allowance recorded for
loans is based on reviews of individual credit relationships and historical loss
experience.  The allowance for losses relating to impaired loans is
based on the loan’s observable market price, the discounted cash flows using the
loan’s effective interest rate, or the value of collateral for collateral
dependent loans.





Regardless
of the extent of the Company’s analysis of customer performance, portfolio
trends or risk management processes, certain inherent but undetected losses are
probable within the loan portfolio.  This is due to several factors,
including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customer’s
financial condition or changes in their unique business conditions, the
judgmental nature of individual loan evaluations, collateral assessments and the
interpretation of economic trends.  Volatility of economic or
customer-specific conditions affecting the identification and estimation of
losses for larger nonhomogeneous credits and the sensitivity of assumptions
utilized to establish allowances for homogeneous groups of loans are among other
factors.  The Company estimates a range of inherent losses related to
the existence of these exposures.  The estimates are based upon the
Company’s evaluation of risk associated with the commercial and consumer levels
and the estimated impact of the current economic environment.





Goodwill and Other Intangibles
– The Company records all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase
acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangibles, at fair value as
required by SFAS 141.  Goodwill is subject, at a minimum, to annual
tests for impairment.    Other intangible assets are
amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line and accelerated
methods, and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a
possible inability to realize the carrying amount.  The initial
goodwill and other intangibles recorded and subsequent impairment analysis
require management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates of how the
acquired asset will perform in the future.  Events and factors that
may significantly affect the estimates include, among others, customer
attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, specific industry conditions and
changes in competition.

Overview





The
following discussion and analysis presents the more significant factors
affecting the Company’s financial condition as of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and
results of operations for each of three months in the periods ended March 31,
2008 and 2007. This discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial
statements, notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in
this report.





Taxable-equivalent
adjustments are the result of increasing income from tax-free loans and
investments by an amount equal to the taxes that would be paid if the income
were fully taxable based on a 34 percent federal tax rate, thus making
tax-exempt yields comparable to taxable asset yields.





Dollar
amounts in tables are stated in thousands, except for per share
amounts.





Results
of Operations





The
Company’s results of operations are determined by its ability to effectively
manage interest income and expense, to minimize loan and investment losses, to
generate noninterest income and to control noninterest expense.  Since
market forces and economic conditions beyond the control of the Company
determine interest rates, the ability to generate net interest income is
dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain an adequate spread between the
rate earned on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities.  Thus, the key performance for net interest income is the
interest margin or net yield, which is taxable-equivalent net interest income
divided by average earning assets.  Net income totaled $2.21 million,
or $0.31 diluted per common share, in three months ended March 31, 2008 compared
to $2.47 million, or $0.34 diluted per common share, in three months ended
March 31, 2007.

Net
income for three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $0.261 million, or 10.5
percent compared to the same period in 2007. The
decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $0.846 million in net
interest income and an increase of $0.157 million in provision for possible loan
loss.  This was offset by an increase of $0.261 million in
non-interest income, a decrease of $0.152 in non- interest
expense and a decrease of $0.329 in income taxes.





Details
of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed
below.





Net
Interest Income





Net
interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets,
such as loans and securities, and interest expense on liabilities, such as
deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets. Net interest
income is the Company’s largest source of revenue, representing 80.20 percent of
total revenue for three months ended March 31, 2008 and 83.20 percent for the
same period a year ago.





Net
interest margin is the taxable-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of
average earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the
volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net
interest income and net interest margin.





The
Federal Reserve Board influences the general market rates of interest, including
the deposit and loan rates offered by many financial institutions. The Company’s
loan portfolio is significantly affected by changes in the prime interest rate.
The prime interest rate, which is the rate offered on loans to borrowers with
strong credit has ranged from 4.00 percent to 8.25 percent during 2001 to
2007.  At year end 2007, the prime rate was 7.25 percent and with the
200 basis point reduction during first quarter 2008 the prime rate ended the
quarter at 5.25 percent.  The federal funds rate moved similar to
prime rate with interest rates ranging from 1.00 percent to 5.25 percent during
2001 to 2007.  At year end 2007, the federal funds rate was 4.25
percent and with the 200 basis point reduction during first quarter 2008 the
federal funds rate ended the quarter at 2.25 percent.  We anticipate
another 25 – 50 basis point reduction during second quarter 2008 and then a
pause by the Federal Reserve the latter half of 2008.





The
following table presents the changes in taxable-equivalent net interest income
and identifies the changes due to differences in the average volume of earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the changes due to changes in the
average interest rate on those assets and liabilities. The changes in net
interest income due to changes in both average volume and average interest rate
have been allocated to the average volume change or the average interest rate
change in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each. The
Company’s consolidated average balance sheets along with an analysis of
taxable-equivalent net interest earnings are presented in the Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included elsewhere in this
report.

            Changes
      in net interest income for the periods, based on either changes in average
      balances or changes in average rates for interest-earning assets and
      interest-bearing liabilities, are shown on this table. During each year.
      there are numerous and simultaneous balance and rate changes; therefore,
      it is not possible to precisely allocate the changes between balances and
      rates. For the purpose of this table, changes that are not exclusively due
      to balance changes or rate changes have been attributed to
      rates.





Our
financial performance is impacted by, among other factors, interest rate risk
and credit risk. We do not utilize derivatives to mitigate our interest rate or
credit risk, relying instead on an extensive loan review process and our
allowance for loan losses.





Interest
rate risk is the change in value due to changes in interest rates. The Company
is exposed only to U.S. dollar interest rate changes and accordingly, the
Company manages exposure by considering the possible changes in the net interest
margin. The Company does not have any trading instruments nor does it classify
any portion of its investment portfolio as held for trading. The Company does
not engage in any hedging activity or utilize any derivatives. The Company has
no exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and
other market risks. This risk is addressed by our Asset & Liability
Management Committee (“ALCO”) which includes senior management representatives.
The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact of
alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure.

Interest
rates play a major part in the net interest income of financial institutions.
The repricing of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can
influence the changes in net interest income. The timing of repriced assets and
liabilities is Gap management and our Company has established its policy to
maintain a Gap ratio in the one-year time horizon of 0.80 to 1.20.





Our
exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a semiannual basis by our
Board of Directors and the ALCO. Interest rate risk exposure is measured using
interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine our change in net portfolio
value in the event of assumed changes in interest rates, in order to reduce the
exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we have implemented strategies to more
closely match our balance sheet composition. We are generally focusing our
investment activities on securities with terms or average lives in the 2-7year
range.





The
Company maintains about 39 percent of its loan portfolio in adjustable rate
loans that reprice with prime rate changes, while the bulk of its other loans
mature within 3 years. The liabilities to fund assets are primarily in short
term certificate of deposits that mature within one year. This balance sheet
composition has allowed the Company to be relatively constant with its net
interest margin the past several years, though the unprecedented 475basis point decrease by
U.S. Federal Reserve in 2001, 50 basis point decrease in 2002 and 25 basis point
decrease in 2003 resulted in significant net interest margin pressure. During
2004 and 2005, interest rates increased 125 basis points and 200 basis points
respectively, while another 100 basis point increase occurred during 2006,
resulting in stable net interest margins.  The 100 basis point
decrease by the Federal Reserve in 2007 followed by 200 basis point decrease in
first quarter 2008 resulted in significant pressure on net interest margins
again.  Net interest margin decreased to 3.44 percent for three months
ended March 31, 2008 compared to 3.70 percent for the same period a year ago. We
anticipate continued margin compression for 2008 given the Federal Reserve’s
present interest rate forecast of easing to neutral for the balance of
2008.





Taxable-equivalent
net interest income for three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $0.83
million, or 7.89 percent compared to the same period a year ago. The fluctuation
between the comparable periods primarily resulted from the negative impact of
the significant decrease in interest rates. The average volume of earning assets
during three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased almost $12.5 million compared
to the same period a year ago while over the same period the net interest margin
decreased by 26 basis points from 3.70 percent to 3.44
percent.  Growth in average earning assets during 2008 and 2007 was
primarily in loans.  The decrease in the net interest margin in 2008
was primarily the result of the general decrease in market interest rates and
sluggish loan activity.





The
average volume of loans increased $18.6 million in three months ended March 31,
2008 compared to the same period a year ago.  The average yield on
loans decreased 77 basis points in three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to
the same period a year ago. Funding for this growth was primarily provided by
other borrowed money and reduction in Federal funds sold.  The average
volume of deposits decreased $34.6 million in three months ended March 31, 2008
compared to the same period a year ago, with interest-bearing deposits
decreasing $36.1 million in three months ended March 31, 2008. Accordingly, the
ratio of average interest-bearing deposits to total average deposits was 92.1
percent in three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 92.5 percent in the
same period a year ago.  This deposit mix, combined with a general
decrease in market rates, had the effect of (i) decreasing the average cost of
total deposits by 24 basis points in three months ended March 31, 2008 compared
to the same period a year ago and, (ii) mitigating a portion of the impact of
decreased yields on earning assets.





The
Company’s net interest spread, which represents the difference between the
average rate earned on earning assets and the average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities, was 3.04 percent in three months ended March 31,
2008 compared to 3.30 percent in the same period a year ago. The net interest
spread, as well as the net interest margin, will be impacted by future changes
in short-term and long-term interest rate levels, as well as the impact from the
competitive environment. A discussion of the effects of changing interest rates
on net interest income is set forth in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk included elsewhere in this report.





Provision
for Loan Losses





The
provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added
to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to
bring the allowance to a level which, in management’s best estimate, is
necessary to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. The
provision for loan losses totaled $1.07 million in three months ended March 31,
2008 compared to $0.91 million in the same period a year
ago.   See the section captioned “Allowance for Loan Losses”
elsewhere in this discussion for further analysis of the provision for loan
losses.

Total
noninterest income for three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $261
thousand, or 12.37 percent compared to the same period a year ago. Growth in
noninterest income was primarily in service charges on deposit accounts, other
charges, commissions and fees and securities gains.  Changes in these
items and the other components of noninterest income are discussed in more
detail below.





Service Charges on Deposit
Accounts.  Service charges on deposit accounts for three months
ended March 31, 2008 increased $47 thousand, or 4.20 percent, compared to the
same period a year ago.   The increase was primarily due to an
increase in overdraft fees, which were mostly related to consumer and commercial
accounts.





Mortgage Fee
Income.  Mortgage fee income for three months ended March 31,
2008 decreased $83 thousand, or 32.9 percent, compared to the same period a year
ago.   The company anticipates fee income to continue to show a
decrease over the previous year due to the current mortgage market and slowing
economy.





All Other Noninterest
Income.  Other charges, commissions and fees and other income
for three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $89 thousand, or 16.01 percent,
compared to the same period a year ago.  The most significant decrease
was premiums on the sale of SBA loans with $0 for three months ended March 31,
2008 from $67 thousand for the same period a year ago.





Securities
Gains.The Company realized gains from the sale of securities
of $570 thousand in first quarter 2008 compared to $184 thousand in first
quarter 2007.

Total
noninterest expense for three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $152
thousand, or 1.92 percent, compared to the same period a year ago. These items
and the changes in the various components of noninterest expense are discussed
in more detail below.





Salaries and Employee
Benefits.  Salaries and employee benefits expense for three
months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $139 thousand,
or 3.06 percent, compared to the same period a year
ago.  The  slowing economy and lack of growth resulted in
decreases in headcount as a result of normal attrition.





Occupancy and
Equipment.  Occupancy and equipment expense has remained
relatively flat in both periods with an increase of $6 thousand for three months
ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same year ago period.





All Other Non-Interest
Expense.  All other non-interest expense for three months ended
March 31, 2008 decreased $19 thousand, or 0.80 percent compared to the same year
ago period.

Overview. Loans totaled
$943.4 million at March 31, 2008, down 0.20 percent from December 31, 2007 loans
of $945.3 million.  The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio is
comprised of the real estate loans-other, real estate construction and
installment loans to individuals.  Real estate-other, which is
primarily 1-4 family residential properties and nonfarm nonresidential
properties, made up 59.03 percent and 57.62 percent of total loans, real estate
construction made up 20.58 percent and 22.37 percent, while installment loans to
individuals made up 7.47 percent and 7.65 percent of total loans at March 31,
2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.  Real estate loans-other
include both commercial and consumer balances.





Loan Origination/Risk
Management.In accordance with the Company’s
decentralized banking model, loan decisions are made at the local bank
level.  The Company utilizes a Senior Loan Committee to assist lenders
with the decision making and underwriting process of larger loan
requests.  Due to the diverse economic markets served by the Company,
evaluation and underwriting criterion may vary slightly by
bank.  Overall, loans are extended after a review of the borrower’s
repayment ability, collateral adequacy, and overall credit
worthiness.





Commercial
purpose, commercial real estate, and industrial loans are underwritten similar
to other loans throughout the company.  The properties securing the
Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and
geographic location.  This diversity helps reduce the Company’s
exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or
industry.  Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate
loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria.  The
company also utilizes  information provided by third-party agencies to
provide additional insight and guidance about economic conditions and trends
affecting the markets it serves.

The
Company extends loans to builders and developers that are secured by non-owner
occupied properties.  In such cases, the Company reviews the overall
economic conditions and trends for each market to determine the desirability of
loans to be extended for residential construction and
development.  Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be
pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of
developed property or an interim mini-perm loan commitment from the Company
until permanent financing is obtained.  In some cases, loans are
extended for residential loan construction for speculative purposes and are
based on the perceived present and future demand for housing in a particular
market served by the Company.  These loans are  monitored by
on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real
estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate
changes, general economic conditions and trends, the demand for the properties,
and the availability of long-term financing.





The
Company originates consumer loans at the bank level.  Due to the
diverse economic markets served by the Company, underwriting criterion may vary
slightly by bank.  The Company is committed to serving the borrowing
needs of all markets served and, in some cases, adjusts certain evaluation
methods to meet the overall credit demographics of each
market.  Consumer loans represent relatively small loan amounts that
are spread across many individual borrower’s that helps minimize
risk.  Additionally, consumer trends and outlook reports are reviewed
by management on a regular basis.





The
Company maintains an independent loan review department that reviews and
validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews
are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces
the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit
personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.





Commercial, Financial and
Agricultural.Commercial, financial and agricultural loans at
March 31, 2008 increased 6.50 percent from December 31, 2007 to $55.7
million. The Company’s commercial and industrial loans are a diverse group of
loans to small, medium and large businesses. The purpose of these loans varies
from supporting seasonal working capital needs to term financing of equipment.
While some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis, most are secured
by the assets being financed with collateral margins that are consistent with
the Company’s loan policy guidelines.





Collateral
Concentrations.  Lending is concentrated in commercial and real
estate loans primarily to local borrowers.  The Company has a high
concentration of real estate loans; however, these loans are well collateralized
and, in management’s opinion, do not pose an adverse credit risk.  In
addition, the balance of the loan portfolio is sufficiently diversified to avoid
significant concentration of credit risk.  Although the Company has a
diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of borrower’s ability to honor
their contracts is dependent upon the viability of the real estate economic
sector.





Large Credit Relationships.
  Colony is currently in eighteen counties in South and Central
Georgia and include metropolitan markets in Dougherty, Lowndes, Houston, Chatham
and Muscogee counties.  As a result, the Company originates and
maintains large credit relationships with several commercial customers in the
ordinary course of business.  The Company considers large credit
relationships to be those with commitments equal to or in excess of $5.0 million
prior to any portion being sold.  Large relationships also include
loan participations purchased if the credit relationship with the agent is equal
to or in excess of $5.0 million.  In addition to the Company’s normal
policies and procedures related to the origination of large credits, the
Company’s Central Credit Committee must approve all new and renewed credit
facilities which are part of large credit relationships.  The
following table provides additional information on the Company’s large credit
relationships outstanding at period end.

The
Company may renew loans at maturity when requested by a customer whose financial
strength appears to support such renewal or when such renewal appears to be in
the Company’s best interest. In such instances, the Company generally requires
payment of accrued interest and may adjust the rate of interest, require a
principal reduction or modify other terms of the loan at the time of
renewal.

Non-performing
assets include non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more, restructured
loans and foreclosed real estate.  Non-performing assets at March 31,
2008 increased 11.30 percent from December 31, 2007.





Generally,
loans are placed on non-accrual status if principal or interest payments become
90 days past due and/or management deems the collectibility of the
principal and/or interest to be in question, as well as when required by
regulatory requirements. Loans to a customer whose financial condition has
deteriorated are considered for non-accrual status whether or not the loan is
90 days or more past due. For consumer loans, collectibility and loss are
generally determined before the loan reaches 90 days past due. Accordingly,
losses on consumer loans are recorded at the time they are determined. Consumer
loans that are 90 days or more past due are generally either in
liquidation/payment status or bankruptcy awaiting confirmation of a plan. Once
interest accruals are discontinued, accrued but uncollected interest is charged
to current year operations. Subsequent receipts on non-accrual loans are
recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded only after
principal recovery is reasonably assured. Classification of a loan as
non-accrual does not preclude the ultimate collection of loan principal or
interest.





Restructured
loans are loans on which, due to deterioration in the borrower’s financial
condition, the original terms have been modified in favor of the borrower or
either principal or interest has been forgiven.





Foreclosed
assets represent property acquired as the result of borrower defaults on loans.
Foreclosed assets are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value,
less estimated selling costs, at the time of foreclosure. Write-downs occurring
at foreclosure are charged against the allowance for possible loan losses. On an
ongoing basis, properties are appraised as required by market indications and
applicable regulations. Write-downs are provided for subsequent declines in
value and are included in other non-interest expense along with other expenses
related to maintaining the properties.

Allowance
for Loan Losses





The
allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of
probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans.
The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for
estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio.





The
allowance for loan losses includes allowance allocations calculated in
accordance with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS 118, and allowance allocations
determined in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
The level of the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of
industry concentrations, specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current
loan portfolio quality, present economic, political and regulatory conditions
and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. Portions of the
allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire
allowance is available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be
charged off. While management utilizes its best judgment and information
available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of
factors beyond the Company’s
control, including the performance of the Company’s loan portfolio, the economy,
changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan
classifications. The company’s allowance for loan losses consists of specific
valuation allowances established for probable losses on specific loans and
historical valuation allowances for other loans with similar risk
characteristics.





The
allowances established for probable losses on specific loans are based on a
regular analysis and evaluation of classified loans.  Loans are
classified based on an internal credit risk grading process that evaluates,
among other things: (i) the obligor’s ability to repay; (ii) the underlying
collateral, if any; and (iii) the economic environment and industry in which the
borrower operates.  This analysis is performed at the subsidiary bank
level and is reviewed at the parent company level.  Once a loan is
classified, it is reviewed to determine whether the loan is impaired and, if
impaired, a portion of the allowance for possible loan losses is specifically
allocated to the loan.  Specific valuation allowances are determined
after considering the borrower’s financial condition, collateral deficiencies,
and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other
things.





Historical
valuation allowances are calculated from loss factors applied to loans with
similar risk characteristics.  The loss factors are based on loss
ratios for groups of loans with similar risk characteristics.  The
loss ratios are derived from the proportional relationship between actual loan
losses and the total population of loans in the risk category.  The
historical loss ratios are periodically updated based on actual charge-off
experience.  The Company’s groups of similar loans include similarly
risk-graded groups of loans not reviewed for individual impairment.





Management
evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for each of these components on a
quarterly basis.  Peer comparisons, industry comparisons, and
regulatory guidelines are also used in the determination of the general
valuation allowance.





Loans
identified as losses by management, internal loan review, and/or bank examiners
are charged-off.





An
allocation 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 changes in experience among each
category.  Additional amounts are allocated by evaluating the loss
potential of individual loans that management has considered
impaired.  The reserve for loan loss allocation is subjective since it
is based on judgment and estimates, and therefore is not necessarily indicative
of the specific amounts or loan categories in which the charge-offs may
ultimately occur.  The following table shows a comparison of the
allocation of the reserve for loan losses for the periods
indicated.

The
allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered appropriate by
management, based on estimated probable losses within the existing loan
portfolio. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve
for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The
provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including the level of
net charge-offs or recoveries, among other factors. The provision for loan
losses increased $157 thousand from $914 thousand in three months ended March
31, 2007 to $1,071 thousand in three months ended March 31,
2008.  Provisions were higher in 2008 compared to 2007 primarily due
to the elevated risk of residential real estate and land development loans given
the downturn in the real estate market during 2007.  Nonperforming
assets as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed assets increased to 1.92
percent at March 31, 2008 compared to 0.86 percent at March 31, 2007 and 1.73
percent at December 31, 2007.





Net
charge-offs in three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $631 thousand
compared to the same period a year ago.  Net charge-offs of 0.14
percent for first quarter 2008 annualize to 0.56 percent for the
year.  Net charge-offs the past three years have averaged 0.30
percent; however, we anticipate an increase in 2008 as many problem credits have
not had time to run through the current cycle and brought to any
resolution.





Management
believes the level of the allowance for loan losses was appropriate as of March
31, 2008. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses change, the Company’s estimate of
probable loan losses could also change, which could affect the level of future
provisions for loan losses.

Securities
are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management
has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities are
classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding
gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. The Company has 99.9
percent of its portfolio classified as available for sale.





At March
31, 2008, there were no holdings of any one issuer, other than the U.S.
government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10 percent of the
Company’s shareholders’ equity.





The
average yield of the securities portfolio was 5.10 percent in three months ended
March 31, 2008 compared to 4.66 percent in the same period a year ago. The
increase in the average yield over the comparable periods primarily resulted
from the higher interest rate environment.

Average
deposits decreased $35 million to $999 million at March 31, 2008 from $1,033
million at March 31, 2007.  The decrease  included an
increase of $1.5 million, or 1.94 percent, related to noninterest-bearing
deposits.  Accordingly the ratio of average noninterest-bearing
deposits to total average deposits was 7.86 percent for three months ended March
31, 2008 compared to 7.45 percent for three months ended March 31,
2007.  The general decrease in market rates, had the effect of (i)
decreasing the average cost of total deposits by 24 basis points in three months
ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period a year ago; and (ii) mitigating
a portion of the impact of decreasing yields on earning assets.





Total
average interest-bearing deposits decreased $36 million, or 3.78 percent in
three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the same period a year
ago.  The shrinkage in average deposits at March 31, 2008 compared to
March 31, 2007 was in time deposits.  With the current interest rate
environment, it appears that many customers are looking for an alternative to
invest their funds for extended periods and are not choosing to maintain such
funds in time accounts.





Off-Balance-Sheet
Arrangements, Commitments, Guarantees, and Contractual Obligations





The
following table summarizes the Company’s contractual obligations and other
commitments to make future payments as of March 31, 2008. Payments for
borrowings do not include interest. Payments related to leases are based on
actual payments specified in the underlying contracts. Loan commitments and
standby letters of credit are presented at contractual amounts; however, since
many of these commitments are expected to expire unused or only partially used,
the total amounts of these commitments do not necessarily reflect future cash
requirements.

In the
ordinary course of business, the Company enters into off-balance sheet financial
instruments which are not reflected in the consolidated financial
statements.  These instruments include commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit, performance letters of credit, guarantees and
liability for assets held in trust.  Such financial instruments are
recorded in the financial statements when funds are disbursed or the instruments
become payable.  The Company uses the same credit policies for these
off-balance sheet financial instruments as they do for instruments that are
recorded in the consolidated financial statements.





Loan Commitments. The Company
enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed
expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific
purposes. Substantially all of the Company’s commitments to extend credit are
contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of
loan funding. The Company minimizes its exposure to loss under these commitments
by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures. Management
assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit in
determining the level of the allowance for possible loan losses. Loan
commitments outstanding at March 31, 2008 are included in the table
above.





Standby Letters of
Credit.  Letters of credit are written conditional commitments
issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms
of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the
commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be
required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If
the commitment is funded, the Company would be entitled to seek recovery from
the customer. The Company’s policies generally require that standby letters of
credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those
contained in loan agreements. Standby  letters of credit outstanding
at March 31, 2008 are included in the table above.





Capital
and Liquidity





At March
31, 2008, stockholders’ equity totaled $86.01 million compared to $83.74 million
at December 31, 2007. In addition to net income of $2.21 million, other
significant changes in stockholders’ equity during three months ended March 31,
2008 included $0.70  million of dividends paid and an increase of $58
thousand resulting from the amortization of the stock grant plan. The
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders’ equity
totaled $1,011 thousand at March 31, 2008 compared to $272 thousand at
December 31, 2007. This fluctuation was mostly related to the after-tax
effect of changes in the fair value of securities available for sale. Under
regulatory requirements, the unrealized gain or loss on securities available for
sale does not increase or reduce regulatory capital and is not included in the
calculation of risk-based capital and leverage ratios. Regulatory agencies for
banks and bank holding companies utilize capital guidelines designed to measure
Tier 1 and total capital and take into consideration the risk inherent in both
on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet items. Tier 1 capital consists of common
stock and qualifying preferred stockholders’ equity less
goodwill.  Tier 2 capital consists of certain convertible,
subordinated and other qualifying debt and the allowance for loan losses up to
1.25 percent of risk-weighted assets.  The Company has no Tier 2
capital other than the allowance for loan losses and gain on marketable equity
securities.

Item 2
(Continued)





Using the
capital requirements presently in effect, the Tier 1 ratio as of March 31, 2008
was 11.21 percent and total Tier 1 and 2 risk-based capital was 12.47
percent.  Both of these measures compare favorably with the regulatory
minimum of 4 percent for Tier 1 and 8 percent for total risk-based
capital.  The Company’s Tier 1 leverage ratio as of March 31, 2007 was
8.90 percent, which exceeds the required ratio standard of 4
percent.





For three
months ended March 31, 2008, average capital was $85.2 million, representing
7.16 percent of average assets for the year.   This compares to
6.44 percent for three months ended March 31, 2007 and 6.69 percent for calendar
year 2007.





The
Company declared cash dividends of $.0975 per common share during the first
quarter of 2008, and a cash dividend of $0.0875 per common share during the
first quarter of 2007, respectively.  This equates to a dividend
payout ratio of 31.45 percent for first quarter 2008 compared to 25.74 percent
for the same period a year ago.





The
Company, primarily through the actions of its subsidiary banks, engages in
liquidity management to ensure adequate cash flow for deposit withdrawals,
credit commitments and repayments of borrowed funds.  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, the renewal of maturing deposits and
external borrowings.





Management
monitors deposit flow and evaluates alternate pricing structures to retain and
grow deposits.   To the extent needed to fund loan demand,
traditional local deposit funding sources are supplemented by the use of FHLB
borrowings, brokered deposits and other wholesale deposit sources outside the
immediate market area.  Internal policies have been updated to monitor
the use of various core and non-core funding sources, and to balance ready
access with risk and cost.  Through various asset/liability management
strategies, a balance is maintained among goals of liquidity, safety and
earnings potential.  Internal policies that are consistent with
regulatory liquidity guidelines are monitored and enforced by the
Banks.





The
investment portfolio provides a ready means to raise cash if liquidity needs
arise.  As of March 31 2008, the Company held $156 million in bonds
(excluding FHLB stock), at current market value in the available for sale
portfolio.  At December 31, 2007, the available for sale bond
portfolio totaled $167 million.  Only marketable investment grade
bonds are purchased.  Although most of the banks’ bond portfolios are
encumbered as pledges to secure various public funds deposits, repurchase
agreements, and for other purposes, management can restructure and free up
investment securities for a sale if required to meet liquidity
needs.





Management
continually monitors the relationship of loans to deposits as it primarily
determines the Company’s liquidity posture.  Colony had ratios of
loans to deposits of 94.9 percent as of March 31, 2008 and 92.8 percent at
December 31, 2007.  Management employs alternative funding sources
when deposit balances will not meet loan demands.  The ratios of loans
to all funding sources (excluding Subordinated Debentures) at March 31, 2008 and
December 31, 2007 were 88.4 percent and 86.4 percent,
respectively.  Management continues to emphasize programs to generate
local core deposits as our Company’s primary funding sources.  The
stability of the banks’ core deposit base is an important factor in Colony’s
liquidity position.  A heavy percentage of the deposit base is
comprised of accounts of individuals and small business with comprehensive
banking relationships and limited volatility.  At March 31, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, the banks had $337.6 million and $347.2 million in
certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more.  These larger deposits
represented 33.97 percent and 34.09 percent of respective total
deposits.  Management seeks to monitor and control the use of these
larger certificates, which tend to be more volatile in nature, to ensure an
adequate supply of funds as needed.  Relative interest costs to
attract local core relationships are compared to market rates of interest on
various external deposit sources to help minimize the Company’s overall cost of
funds.





Local
market deposit sources proved insufficient to fund the strong loan growth trends
at Colony over the past several years.  The Company supplemented
deposit sources with brokered deposits.  As of March 31, 2008, the
Company had $51.2 million, or 5.15  percent of total deposits, in
brokered certificates of deposit attracted by external third
parties.  Additionally, the banks use external wholesale or Internet
services to obtain out-of-market certificates of deposit at competitive interest
rates when funding is needed.





To plan
for contingent sources of funding not satisfied by both local and out-of-market
deposit balances, Colony and its subsidiaries have established multiple
borrowing sources to augment their funds management.  The Company has
borrowing capacity through membership of the Federal Home Loan Bank
program.  The banks have also established overnight borrowing for
Federal Funds Purchased through various correspondent
banks.  Management believes the various funding sources discussed
above are adequate to meet the Company’s liquidity needs in the future without
any material adverse impact on operating results.

Liquidity
measures the ability to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become
due. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to meet loan
requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to take advantage of
interest rate market opportunities. The ability of a financial institution to
meet its current financial obligations is a function of balance sheet structure,
the ability
to liquidate assets, and the availability of alternative sources of funds. The
Company seeks to ensure its funding needs are met by maintaining a level of
liquid funds through asset/liability management.





Asset
liquidity is provided by liquid assets which are readily marketable or
pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include cash,
interest-bearing deposits in banks, securities available for sale, maturities
and cash flow from securities held to maturity, and federal funds sold and
securities purchased under resale agreements.





Liability
liquidity is provided by access to funding sources which include core
deposits.  Should the need arise; the Company also maintains
relationships with the Federal Home Loan Bank and several correspondent banks
that can provide funds on short notice. Since Colony is a holding company and
does not conduct operations, its primary sources of liquidity are dividends up
streamed from subsidiary banks and borrowings from outside sources.





The
liquidity position of the Company is continuously monitored and adjustments are
made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate.
Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources or
operations. In addition, management is not aware of any regulatory
recommendations regarding liquidity, which if implemented, would have a material
adverse effect on the Company.





Impact
of Inflation and Changing Prices





The
Company’s financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
GAAP presently requires the Company to measure financial position and operating
results primarily in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value of
money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. The primary
effect of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased
operating costs. In management’s opinion, changes in interest rates affect the
financial condition of a financial institution to a far greater degree than
changes in the inflation rate. While interest rates are greatly influenced by
changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same rate
or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. Interest rates are highly
sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Company, including
changes in the expected rate of inflation, the influence of general and local
economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States
government, its agencies and various other governmental regulatory authorities,
among other things, as further discussed in the next section.





Regulatory
and Economic Policies





The
Company’s business and earnings are affected by general and local economic
conditions and by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States
government, its agencies and various other governmental regulatory authorities,
among other things. The Federal Reserve Board regulates the supply of money in
order to influence general economic conditions. Among the instruments of
monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve Board are (i) conducting open
market operations in United States government obligations, (ii) changing
the discount rate on financial institution borrowings, (iii) imposing or
changing reserve requirements against financial institution deposits, and
(iv) restricting certain borrowings and imposing or changing reserve
requirements against certain borrowing by financial institutions and their
affiliates. These methods are used in varying degrees and combinations to affect
directly the availability of bank loans and deposits, as well as the interest
rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. For that reason alone, the policies
of the Federal Reserve Board have a material effect on the earnings of the
Company.





Governmental
policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial
banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future; however,
the Company cannot accurately predict the nature, timing or extent of any effect
such policies may have on its future business and earnings.

Future
Outlook





Colony is
an emerging company in an industry filled with nonregulated competitors and a
rapid pace of consolidation.  The year brings with it new
opportunities for growth in our existing markets, as well as opportunities to
expand into new markets through acquisitions and denovo
branching.  Entry into the MSA markets – Savannah, Albany, Columbus,
Warner Robins, and Valdosta – will require multi-branch offices and the Company
is presently looking for available real estate to purchase in those
markets.  Presently Colony has secured real estate in the Savannah
market and began construction of its second Savannah office in fourth quarter
2007.  Likewise, Colony has secured real estate in the Albany market
for another office though no established date for construction has been
set.

Interest
Rate Sensitivity





The
following table is an analysis of the Company’s interest rate-sensitivity
position at March 31, 2008.  The interest-bearing rate-sensitivity
gap, which is the difference between interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities by repricing period, is based upon maturity or
first repricing opportunity, along with a cumulative interest rate-sensitivity
gap.  It is important to note that the table indicates a position at a
specific point in time and may not be reflective of positions at other times
during the year or in subsequent periods.  Major changes in the gap
position can be, and are, made promptly as market outlooks change.

The
foregoing table indicates that we had a one year negative gap of ($192) million,
or (17.19) percent of total assets at March 31, 2008.  In theory, this
would indicate that at March 31, 2008, $192 million more in liabilities than
assets would reprice if there were a change in interest rates over the next 365
days.  Thus, if interest rates were to increase, the gap would
indicate a resulting decrease in net interest margin.  However,
changes in the mix of earning assets or supporting liabilities can either
increase or decrease the net interest margin without affecting interest rate
sensitivity.  In addition, the interest rate spread between an asset
and our supporting liability can vary significantly while the timing of
repricing of both the assets and our supporting liability can remain the same,
thus impacting net interest income.  This characteristic is referred
to as a basis risk and, generally, relates to the repricing characteristics of
short-term funding sources such as certificates of deposits.





Gap
analysis has certain limitations.  Measuring the volume of repricing
or maturing assets and liabilities does not always measure the full impact on
the portfolio value of equity or net interest income.  Gap analysis
does not account for rate caps on products; dynamic changes such as increasing
prepay speeds as interest rates decrease, basis risk, or the benefit of non-rate
funding sources.  The majority of our loan portfolio reprices quickly
and completely following changes in market rates, while non-term deposit rates
in general move slowly and usually incorporate only a fraction of the change in
rates.  Products categorized as non-rate sensitive, such as our
noninterest-bearing demand deposits, in the gap analysis behave like long term
fixed rate funding sources.  Both of these factors tend to make our
actual behavior more asset sensitive than is indicated in the gap
analysis.  In fact, we experience higher net interest income when
rates rise, opposite what is indicated by the gap analysis.  In fact,
during the recent period of declines in interest rates, our net interest margin
has declined.  Therefore, management uses gap analysis, net interest
margin analysis and market value of portfolio equity as our primary interest
rate risk management tools.





The
Company is now utilizing SunTrust Asset/Liability Management Analysis for a more
dynamic analysis of balance sheet structure. The
Company has established earnings at risk for net-interest income in a +/- 200
basis point rate shock to be no more than a fifteen percent
percentage change.  The most recent analysis as of December 31, 2007
indicates that net interest income would deteriorate 9.61 percent with a 200
basis point decrease and would improve 4.45 percent with a 200 basis point
increase.  The Company has established equity at risk in a +/- 200
basis points rate shock to be no more than a twenty percent percentage
change.  The most recent analysis as of December 31, 2007 indicates
that net economic value of equity percentage change would decrease 1.05 percent
with a 200 basis point increase and would decrease 9.57 percent with
a  200 basis point decrease.  The Company has established
its one year gap to be 0.80 percent to 1.20 percent.  The most recent
analysis as of December 31, 2007 indicates a one year gap of 0.90
percent.  The analysis reflects net interest margin compression in a
declining interest rate environment.  Given that interest rates are at
or near its peak, the Company is focusing on areas to minimize margin
compression in the future.  These include locking in more loans at a
fixed rate versus a variable rate, minimizing dollars in Federal funds,
extending out on the yield curve with investments, securing brokered
certificates of deposit for terms less than one year and focusing on reduction
of nonperforming assets.
