General

Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation (the Company) is a Georgia corporation that is a bank holding company registered with the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the BHCA). The Company had total consolidated assets of $1.0 billion, total deposits of $801.8 million and
total stockholders equity of $78.9 million at December 31, 2006. The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiaries in the Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC metropolitan area. Georgia Bank & Trust Company of Augusta
(GB&T) operates eight full service branches in Augusta, Martinez, and Evans, Georgia, and one branch in Athens, Georgia, with mortgage origination offices located in Augusta, Savannah and Athens, Georgia. Southern Bank &
Trust (SB&T), a federally chartered thrift, opened its main office in Aiken, South Carolina in September 2006. The Companys operations campus is located in Augusta, Georgia and services both subsidiaries. The Company plans to
open additional branches of SB&T to service the South Carolina market.

The Company is community oriented and focuses primarily on
offering real estate, commercial and consumer loans and various deposit and other services to individuals, small to medium sized businesses and professionals in its market area. The Company is the largest locally owned and operated financial
institution headquartered in Richmond and Columbia Counties. Each member of the Companys management team is a banking professional with many years of experience in the Augusta or Aiken market with this and other banking organizations. A large
percentage of Company management has worked together for many years. The Company competes against the larger regional and super-regional banks operating in its market by emphasizing the stability and accessibility of its management,
managements long-term familiarity with the market, immediate local decision making and the pride of local ownership.

History

GB&T was organized by a group of local citizens from Richmond and Columbia Counties and commenced business from the main office location at 3530
Wheeler Road in Augusta on August 28, 1989. GB&T opened its first Augusta branch at 3111 Peach Orchard Road in December 1991 and its second Augusta branch at 1530 Walton Way in December 1992. GB&T became a subsidiary of the Company in
February 1992 as a result of its holding company reorganization. The Company acquired FCS Financial Corporation and First Columbia Bank (First Columbia) on December 31, 1992. This allowed the Company to expand into neighboring
Columbia County. In July 1993, First Columbia merged into GB&T, and GB&T now operates the former main office of First Columbia at 4105 Columbia Road, Martinez, Georgia as a branch. GB&T opened a second branch in Columbia County in
November 1994 that is located in Evans, Georgia. In October 1995, GB&T opened its sixth banking office at 3133 Washington Road. GB&T opened a full service branch in May 2001 in Martinez, Georgia, the third Columbia County branch. In
September 2004, GB&T opened its eighth banking office located in the Cotton Exchange historic building in downtown Augusta, Georgia. In December 2005, GB&T opened its ninth banking office and first full service branch outside of the Augusta
market in Athens, Georgia. SB&T was organized by the Company during 2005 and 2006, opening its main office in Aiken, South Carolina on September 12, 2006.

Management Team

GB&T was founded with an experienced management team, and that team has continued to expand with the growth of the bank. GB&Ts President and Chief Executive Officer, R. Daniel Blanton, was involved in
the organization of GB&T in 1988 and previously served with a predecessor to First Union National Bank, Georgia State Bank, for over thirteen years. With the acquisition of First Columbia, GB&T obtained its Executive Vice President and Chief
Operating Officer, Ronald L. Thigpen, who had served as Chief Executive Officer of First Columbia since 1991, and before that served in various capacities with First Union National Bank and its predecessors. GB&Ts senior loan officer and
Group Vice President, Tom C. McLaughlin, has been associated with GB&T for fifteen years, and worked previously with Mr. Blanton at Georgia State Bank. Regina W. Mobley, Group Vice President, Bank Operations, has been with GB&T since
the acquisition of First Columbia Bank. With over 29 years of bank operations experience, she previously served First Columbia Bank and C & S National Bank, as predecessor of Bank of America. GB&Ts senior credit officer and Group Vice
President, James R. Riordan, Jr., joined the team in 2002. For the prior ten years, he served in various capacities with SunTrust Bank, Augusta, N. A., most recently as senior lending officer. He has 20 years of bank lending and credit
administration experience. Jay Forrester, Group Vice President, Retail Banking, has been associated with GB&T since 1995. He previously served as Vice President, Commercial Lending for C & S National Bank and NationsBank, predecessors of
Bank of America. In September 2004, Robert C. Osborne, Jr., joined GB&T as Executive Vice President and head of Wealth Management. For the prior 28 years, he was associated with Wachovia Corporation in Atlanta and Augusta, most recently as
head of their Wealth Management unit in Augusta.

The Company opened SB&T with a management team that has extensive experience in the
Aiken, South Carolina market. In 2005, both Frank Townsend and Darrell Rains joined GB&T with the responsibility of organizing SB&T. Frank Townsend became President and Chief Executive Officer of SB&T, upon its opening in September
2006. Prior to joining GB&T, Mr. Townsend spent eleven years with Regions Bank and was the Commercial Sales Manager for the Central Carolina Bank in Aiken. He has 21 years experience in both banking and insurance. Darrell Rains,
Group Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has over 26 years of financial experience, including service at Regions Bank as Regional Financial Officer for the Mid-Atlantic Region and at Palmetto Federal, a predecessor to Regions Bank in Aiken,
S.C., as Chief Financial Officer. He serves as Chief Financial Officer for the Company, GB&T and SB&T.

by the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Labor, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Athens Chamber of Commerce.

Lending Activities

The Company offers a wide range of lending services, including real estate, commercial and consumer loans, to individuals, small to
medium-sized businesses and professionals that are located in, or conduct a substantial portion of their business in, the Companys market area. The Companys total loans at December 31, 2006, were $750.0 million, or 77.1% of total
interest-earning assets. An analysis of the composition of the Companys loan portfolio is set forth under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Composition of the Loan Portfolio.

Real Estate Loans. Loans secured by real estate are the primary component of the Companys loan portfolio, constituting $638.7
million, or 85.2% of the Companys total loans, at December 31, 2006. These loans consist of commercial real estate loans, construction and development loans, residential real estate loans, and home equity loans.

Commercial Real Estate Loans.At December 31, 2006, the Company held $198.5 million of commercial real estate loans of various sizes secured
by office buildings, retail establishments, and other types of property. These commercial real estate loans represented 26.5% of the Companys total loans at December 31, 2006. Loan terms are generally limited to five years and often do
not exceed three years, although the installment payments may be structured on a 20-year amortization basis with a balloon payment at maturity. Interest rates may be fixed or adjustable. The Company generally charges an origination fee. Management
attempts to reduce credit risk in the commercial real estate

portfolio by emphasizing loans on owner-occupied office and retail buildings where the loan-to-value ratio, established by independent appraisals, does not
exceed 80%. In addition, the Company requires personal guarantees from the principal owners of the property supported with an analysis by the Company of the guarantors personal financial statements in connection with a substantial majority of
such loans. The Company experienced $110,000 in net charge-offs on commercial real estate loans during 2006. A number of the loans classified as commercial real estate loans are, in fact, commercial loans for which a security interest in real estate
has been taken as additional collateral. These loans are subject to underwriting as commercial loans as described below.

Construction
and Development Loans. Construction and development real estate loans comprise $266.9 million, or 35.6% of the Companys total loans at December 31, 2006. A construction and development loan portfolio presents special problems and
risks, requiring additional administration and monitoring. This is necessary since most loans are originated as lines of credit and draws under the line require specific activities which add value to the asset, such as progress on the
completion of a building or the placement of utilities and roads in a development. This requires specialized knowledge on the part of our personnel to appraise and evaluate that progress, hence the higher level of administration and monitoring.
The level of construction and development loans are representative of the character of the Companys market. The Company subjects this type of loan to underwriting criteria that include: certified appraisal and valuation of collateral;
loan-to-value margins (typically not exceeding 75%); cash equity requirements; evaluations of borrowers cash flows and alternative sources of repayment; and a determination that the market is able to absorb the project on schedule.

To further reduce the risk related to construction and development loans, the Company generally relies upon the long-standing relationships between
its loan officers and the developer/contractor borrowers. In most cases, these relationships exceed ten years. The Company targets seasoned developers and contractors who have experience in the local market. Various members of the Companys
Board of Directors have close contacts with the construction industry: Robert W. Pollard, Jr. owns and operates a lumber manufacturing company; E. G. Meybohm owns the largest local real estate brokerage firm; and William J. Badger owns and operates
a building supply company. Larry S. Prather, a member of GB&Ts Board of Directors, owns a utility and grading company. Through these connections to the industry, the Company attempts to monitor current economic conditions in the
marketplace for residential real estate, and the financial standing and on-going reputation of its construction and development borrowers.

Infrastructure development loans are generally made with an initial maturity of one year, although the Company may renew the loan for up to two additional one-year terms to allow the developer to complete the sale of the lots comprising the
property before requiring the payment of the related loan. These loans typically bear interest at a floating rate and the Company typically charges an origination fee. These loans are repaid, interest only, on a monthly or quarterly basis until
sales of lots begin, and then principal payments are made as each lot is sold at a rate allowing the Company to be repaid in full by the time 75% of the lots have been sold. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with these loans, the Company
requires the projects loan to value ratio (on an as completed basis) to be not more than 70%. The Company experienced $94,000 in net loan charge-offs on construction loans during 2006.

Residential construction loans are typically made for homes with a completed value in the range of $110,000 to $500,000. Loans for the lower-value homes
are typically made for a term of six months, while loans for the larger homes are typically made for a term of nine to twelve months. Typically,

these loans bear interest at a floating rate and the Company collects an origination fee. The Company may renew these loans for one additional term (equal to
the original term) to allow the contractor time to market the home. In order to reduce the credit risk with respect to these loans, the Company restricts the loans that are made for homes being built on a speculative basis and carefully manages its
aggregate lending relationship with each borrower.

Residential Loans. The Company originates, on a selective basis, residential
loans for its portfolio on single and multi-family properties, both owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied. At December 31, 2006, the Company held $158.5 million of such loans, including home equity loans, representing 21.1% of the
Companys loan portfolio, as compared to $138.7 million, or 23.1% of the Companys loan portfolio at December 31, 2005. There has been a slight decrease in Residential Loans as a percentage of total loans as most mortgage loans are
sold in the secondary market. This portfolio typically includes 15 or 30-year adjustable rate mortgage loans whose terms mirror those prevalent in the secondary market for mortgage loans or, less typically, floating rate non-amortized term loans for
purposes other than acquisition of the underlying residential property. A limited number of fixed rate loans are maintained in the portfolio when there are compelling market reasons to do so. Generally, all fixed rate residential loans are sold into
the secondary market. In the case of home equity loans and lines of credit, the underwriting criteria are the same as applied by the Company when making a first mortgage loan, as described above. Home equity lines of credit typically mature ten
years after their origination. The Company experienced net loan charge-offs on residential loans of $665,000 during 2006, including the charge-off of one residential loan for $423,000.

The Company also originates residential loans for sale into the secondary market, an activity that began with the acquisition of First Columbia. The
Company originates both fixed and variable rate residential mortgage loans for sale with servicing released. Loans originated for sale into the secondary market are approved for purchase by an investor prior to closing. The Company generates loan
origination fees, typically ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% of the loan balance, and servicing release fees, generally ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% of the loan balance, both of which are recognized as income when the loan is sold. The Company minimizes
interest rate and credit risk on these loans by locking the interest rate for each loan with the secondary investor and receiving the investors underwriting approval prior to originating the loan. The Company had $14.9 million of such loans at
December 31, 2006, representing 2.0% of the Companys total loans.

Commercial Loans. The Company makes loans for
commercial purposes to various types of businesses. At December 31, 2006, the Company held $80.8 million of these loans, representing 10.8% of the total loan portfolio, excluding for these purposes commercial loans secured by real estate. See
Real Estate Loans. Equipment loans are made for a term of up to five years (more typically three years) at fixed or variable rates, with the loan being fully amortized over the term and secured by the financed equipment with a
loan-to-value ratio based on the overall relationship and creditworthiness of the customer. Working capital loans are made for a term typically not exceeding one year. These loans are usually secured by accounts receivable or inventory, and
principal is either repaid as the assets securing the loan are converted into cash, or principal is due at maturity. The Company experienced net loan charge-offs on commercial loans of $361,000 during 2006.

Consumer Loans. The Company makes a variety of loans to individuals for personal and household purposes, including secured and unsecured
installment and term loans, and revolving lines of credit such as overdraft protection. At December 31, 2006, the Company held $31.2 million of consumer loans, representing 4.2% of total loans. These loans typically carry balances of less than



6



---

##### Table of Contents

$25,000 and earn interest at a fixed rate. Non-revolving loans are either amortized over a period not exceeding 60 months or are ninety-day term loans.
Revolving loans require monthly payments of interest and a portion of the principal balance (typically 2 to 3% of the outstanding balance). The Company entered the indirect lending business in 1997 and currently purchases sales finance contracts
from dealers for new and used automobiles and home improvements. At December 31, 2006, indirect loans outstanding totaled $6.2 million. The Company experienced net recoveries on consumer loans of $98,000 during 2006 and net charge-offs of
$143,000 during 2005.

Loan Approval and Review. The Companys loan approval policies provide for various levels of officer
lending authority. When the aggregate amount of outstanding loans to a single borrower exceeds that individual officers lending authority, the loan request must be considered and approved by an officer with a higher lending limit or by the
Directors Loan Committee. Individual officers lending limits range from $15,000 to $2.0 million depending on seniority and the type of loan. Any loan in excess of the lending limit of senior bank officers must be approved by the
Directors Loan Committee.

The Company has a loan review procedure involving multiple officers of the Company which is designed to
promote early identification of credit quality problems. All loan officers are charged with the responsibility of rating all their loans and reviewing those loans on a periodic basis, the frequency of which increases as the quality of the loans
decreases. The Senior Vice President of Credit Administration is charged with the responsibility of ensuring that all significant lending relationships are reviewed annually. The Companys current goal is to review lending relationships in
excess of $500,000. In addition, the Credit Administration Department is involved in the analysis of all loans that require Directors Loan Committee approval.

Deposits

The Company offers a variety of deposit programs to individuals and to small to medium-sized businesses and other
organizations at interest rates generally consistent with local market conditions. The following table sets forth the mix of depository accounts for the Company as a percentage of total deposits at December 31, 2006.

The Company accepts deposits at both main office locations and eight branch banking offices, each
of which maintains an automated teller machine. The Company is a member of Mastercards Maestro and Cirrus networks as well as the STAR network of automated teller machines, which permits customers to perform certain transactions in
many cities throughout Georgia, South Carolina and other regions. The Company controls deposit volumes primarily through the pricing of deposits and to a certain extent through promotional activities such as free checking. The Company
also

utilizes other sources of funding, specifically repurchase agreements, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and brokered certificates of deposit. Deposit rates
are set weekly by executive management of the Company. Management believes that the rates it offers are competitive with, or in some cases, slightly above those offered by other institutions in its market area. The Company does not actively solicit
deposits outside of its market area.

Competition

The banking business generally is highly competitive, and sources of competition are varied. The Company competes as a financial intermediary with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions,
mortgage banking companies, consumer finance companies, securities brokerages, insurance companies, and money market mutual funds operating in Richmond, Columbia and Clarke Counties in Georgia, Aiken County in South Carolina and elsewhere. In
addition, customers conduct banking activities without regard to geographic barriers through computer-based banking and similar services.

Many of the financial organizations in competition with the Company have much greater financial resources, more diversified markets and larger branch networks than the Company and are able to offer similar services at varying costs with
higher lending limits. In addition, with the enactment of federal and state laws affecting interstate and bank holding company expansion, there have been major interstate acquisitions involving financial institutions which have offices in the
Companys market area but are headquartered in other states. The effect of such acquisitions (and the possible increase in size of the financial institutions in the Companys market areas) may further increase the competition faced by the
Company. The Company believes, however, that it will be able to use its local independent image to its advantage in competing for retail and commercial business.

Employees

The Company had approximately 298 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2006. The Company maintains
training, educational and affirmative action programs designed to prepare employees for positions of increasing responsibility in both management and operations, and provides a variety of benefit programs, including group life, health, accident and
other insurance and retirement plans. None of the Companys employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company believes its employee relations are generally good.

Supervision and Regulation

Both the Company and its
subsidiaries are subject to extensive state and federal banking regulations that impose restrictions on and provide for general regulatory oversight of their operations. These laws generally are intended to protect depositors and not shareholders.
The Company owns all of the capital stock of GB&T and SB&T and is a multi-bank holding company under the federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. As a result, the Company is primarily subject to the supervision, examination, and reporting
requirements of the Bank Holding Company Act and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. As a bank holding company located in Georgia, the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance also regulates and monitors all significant aspects of the
Companys operations. GB&T is a commercial bank regulated by the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance while SB&T is a federally chartered thrift regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Both subsidiaries are regulated by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The following discussion describes the material elements of the regulatory framework that are applicable to the Company as a whole and also identifies those regulations which are unique to each subsidiary.

The Company

Acquisitions of Banks.The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the Federal Reserves prior approval before:



| |  |  | acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if, after the acquisition, the bank holding company will directly or indirectly
own or control more than 5% of the banks voting shares;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of any bank; or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | merging or consolidating with any other bank holding company.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------

Additionally, the Bank Holding Company Act provides that the Federal Reserve may not approve any of these transactions if it would result in or tend to create a monopoly or, substantially lessen competition or
otherwise function as a restraint of trade, unless the anti-competitive effects of the proposed transaction are clearly outweighed by the public interest in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The Federal Reserve is also
required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding companies and banks concerned and the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The Federal Reserves consideration of financial
resources generally focuses on capital adequacy, which is discussed below.

Under the Bank Holding Company Act, if adequately capitalized
and adequately managed, the Company or any other bank holding company located in Georgia may purchase a bank located outside of Georgia. Conversely, an adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank holding company located outside of Georgia may
purchase a bank located inside Georgia. In each case, however, restrictions may be placed on the acquisition of a bank that has only been in existence for a limited amount of time or will result in specified concentrations of deposits. Currently,
Georgia law prohibits acquisitions of banks that have been incorporated for less than three years.

Change in Bank
Control.Subject to various exceptions, the Bank Holding Company Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with related regulations, require Federal Reserve approval prior to any person or company acquiring control
of a bank holding company. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control is refutably presumed to exist if a person or company
acquires 10% or more, but less than 25%, of any class of voting securities and either:



| |  |  | the bank holding company has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1934; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | no other person owns a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the transaction.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Companys common stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The regulations also provide a procedure for challenging the rebuttable
presumption of control.

Permitted Activities. A bank holding company is generally permitted under the Bank Holding
Company Act to engage in or acquire direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in the following activities:



| |  |  | Banking or managing or controlling banks; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Any activity that the Federal Reserve determines to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to the business of banking.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Activities that the Federal Reserve has found to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to the
business of banking include:



| |  |  | Factoring accounts receivable;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | Making, acquiring, brokering or servicing loans and usual related activities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Leasing personal or real property;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | Operating a non-bank depository institution, such as a savings association;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Trust company functions;
| | - |  | ------------------------



| |  |  | Financial and investment advisory activities;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Conducting discount securities brokerage activities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Underwriting and dealing in government obligations and money market instruments;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Providing specified management consulting and counseling activities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Performing selected data processing services and support services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Acting as agent or broker in selling credit life insurance and other types of insurance in connection with credit transactions; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Performing selected insurance underwriting activities.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

Despite prior approval, the Federal Reserve may order a bank holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any of these activities or to terminate its ownership or control of any subsidiary when it has reasonable
cause to believe that the bank holding companys continued ownership, activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of it or any of its bank subsidiaries.

In addition to the permissible bank holding company activities listed above, the Financial Service Modernization Act of 1999, also known as the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, revised and expanded the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act by permitting a bank holding company to qualify and elect to become a financial holding company. Under the regulations implementing the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act, a financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental or complementary to financial activity. The following activities are considered to be financial in nature:



| |  |  | Lending, trust and other banking activities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Insuring, guaranteeing, or indemnifying against loss or harm, or providing and issuing annuities, and acting as principal, agent, or broker for these purposes, in
any state;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Providing financial, investment, or advisory services;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------

On December 18, 2006, the SEC and the Federal Reserve issued joint proposed rules, which would implement the broker exception for banks under Section 3(a)(4) of the Exchange Act of 1934 and would be adopted as part of
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The proposed rules would implement the statutory exceptions that allow a bank, subject to certain conditions, to continue to conduct securities transactions for the banks customers as part of its trust and
fiduciary, custodial and deposit sweep functions, and to refer customers to a securities broker-dealer pursuant to a networking arrangement with the broker-dealer.

To qualify to become a financial holding company, any depository institution subsidiary of the Company must be well capitalized and well managed and must
have a Community Reinvestment Act rating of at least satisfactory. Additionally, the Company must file an election with the Federal Reserve to become a financial holding company and must provide the Federal Reserve with 30 days
written notice prior to engaging in a permitted financial activity. While the Company meets the qualification standards applicable to financial holding companies, the Company has not elected to become a financial holding company at this time.

Support of Subsidiary Institutions.Under Federal Reserve policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial
strength for its subsidiaries and to commit resources to support them. This support may be required at times when, without this Federal Reserve policy, the Company might not be inclined to provide it. In addition, any capital loans made by the
Company to its subsidiaries will be repaid only after the subsidiaries deposits and various other obligations are repaid in full. In the unlikely event of the Companys bankruptcy, any commitment by it to a federal bank regulatory agency
to maintain the capital of its subsidiaries will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

Prompt
Corrective Action. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 establishes a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized financial institutions. Under this system, the federal banking
regulators have established five capital categories (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized) in which all institutions are placed. The federal banking agencies have
also specified by regulation the relevant capital levels for each of the other categories. At December 31, 2006, both of the Companys subsidiaries qualified for the well-capitalized category.

##### Table of Contents

Federal banking regulators are required to take various mandatory supervisory actions and are authorized
to take other discretionary actions with respect to institutions in the three undercapitalized categories. The severity of the action depends upon the capital category in which the institution is placed. Generally, subject to a narrow exception, the
banking regulator must appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically undercapitalized.

An institution that is
categorized as undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized is required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to its appropriate federal banking agency. A bank holding company must guarantee that a
subsidiary depository institution meets its capital restoration plan, subject to various limitations. The controlling holding companys obligation to fund a capital restoration plan is limited to the lesser of 5% of an undercapitalized
subsidiarys assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount required to meet regulatory capital requirements. An undercapitalized institution is also generally prohibited from increasing its average total assets, making
acquisitions, establishing any branches or engaging in any new line of business, except under an accepted capital restoration plan or with FDIC approval. The regulations also establish procedures for downgrading an institution to a lower capital
category based on supervisory factors other than capital.

FDIC Insurance Assessments. The FDIC has adopted a
risk-based assessment system for insured depository institutions that takes into account the risks attributable to different categories and concentrations of assets and liabilities. The system assesses higher rates on those institutions that pose
greater risks to the Deposit Insurance Fund (the DIF). The FDIC places each institution in one of four risk categories using a two-step process based first on capital ratios (the capital group assignment) and then on other relevant
information (the supervisory group assignment). Within the lower risk category, Risk Category I, rates will vary based on each institutions CAMELS component ratings, certain financial ratios, and long-term debt issuer ratings.

Capital group assignments are made quarterly and an institution is assigned to one of three capital categories: (1) well capitalized;
(2) adequately capitalized; and (3) undercapitalized. These three categories are substantially similar to the prompt corrective action categories described above, with the undercapitalized category including institutions that
are undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized for prompt corrective action purposes. The FDIC also assigns an institution to one of three supervisory subgroups based on a supervisory evaluation that the
institutions primary federal banking regulator provides to the FDIC and information that the FDIC determines to be relevant to the institutions financial condition and the risk posed to the deposit insurance funds. Assessments range from
5 to 43 cents per $100 of deposits, depending on the institutions capital group and supervisory subgroup. Institutions that are well capitalized will be charged a rate between 5 and 7 cents per $100 of deposits.

In addition, the FDIC imposes assessments to help pay off the $780 million in annual interest payments on the $8 billion Financing Corporation bonds
issued in the late 1980s as part of the government rescue of the thrift industry. This assessment rate is adjusted quarterly and is set at 1.22 cents per $100 of deposits for the first quarter of 2007.

The FDIC may terminate its insurance of deposits if it finds that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound
condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.

Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires that, in
connection with examinations of financial institutions within their respective jurisdictions, the Federal Reserve or the FDIC shall evaluate the record of each financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local community, including low
and moderate-income neighborhoods. These facts are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open a branch or facility. Failure to adequately meet these criteria could impose additional requirements and limitations on
the Company.Additionally, we must publicly disclose the terms of various Community Reinvestment Act-related agreements.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the ALLL) represents one of the most significant estimates in the Companys financial statements and regulatory reports. Because of
its significance, the Company has developed a system by which it develops, maintains and documents a comprehensive, systematic and consistently applied process for determining the amounts of the ALLL and the provision for loan and lease losses. The
Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses, issued on December 13, 2006, encourages all banks to ensure controls are in place to consistently determine the ALLL in accordance with GAAP, the banks stated
policies and procedures, managements best judgment and relevant supervisory guidance. Consistent with supervisory guidance, the Company maintains a prudent and conservative, but not excessive, ALLL, that is at a level that is appropriate to
cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan and lease portfolio. The Companys estimate of credit losses reflects consideration
of all significant factors that affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date. See Managements Discussion and Analysis  Critical Accounting Policies.

Commercial Real Estate Lending. The Companys lending operations may be subject to enhanced scrutiny by federal banking regulators
based on its concentration of commercial real estate loans. On December 6, 2006, the federal banking regulators issued final guidance to remind financial institutions of the risk posed by commercial real estate (CRE) lending
concentrations. CRE loans generally include land development, construction loans and loans secured by multifamily property, and nonfarm, nonresidential real property where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with
the property. The guidance prescribes the following guidelines for its examiners to help identify institutions that are potentially exposed to significant CRE risk and may warrant greater supervisory scrutiny:



| |  |  | total reported loans for construction, land development and other land represent 100% or more of the institutions total capital, or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | total commercial real estate loans represent 300% or more of the institutions total capital, and the outstanding balance of the institutions commercial
real estate loan portfolio has increased by 50% or more during the prior 36 months.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other
Regulations. Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by the Company are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates.

Our loan operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:



| |  |  | federal Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;

Georgia Bank & Trust Company

Because
GB&T is a commercial bank chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, it is also subject to the supervision, examination and reporting requirements of the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance. The Georgia Department of Banking and
Finance regularly examines GB&Ts operations and has the authority to approve or disapprove mergers, the establishment of branches and similar corporate actions as well as the power to prevent the continuance or development of unsafe or
unsound banking practices or other violations of law.

Branching.Under current Georgia law, GB&T may open branch
offices throughout Georgia with the prior approval of the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance. In addition, with prior



14



---

##### Table of Contents

regulatory approval, GB&T may acquire branches of existing banks located in Georgia. GB&T and any other national or state-chartered bank generally
may branch across state lines by merging with banks in other states if allowed by the applicable states laws. Georgia law, with limited exceptions, currently permits branching across state lines through interstate mergers.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, states may opt-in and allow out-of-state banks to branch into their state by establishing a new
start-up branch in the state. Currently, Georgia has not opted-in to this provision. Therefore, interstate merger is the only method through which a bank located outside of Georgia may branch into Georgia. This provides a limited barrier of entry
into the Georgia banking market, which protects us from an important segment of potential competition. However, because Georgia has elected not to opt-in, our ability to establish a new start-up branch in another state may be limited. Many states
that have elected to opt-in have done so on a reciprocal basis, meaning that an out-of-state bank may establish a new start-up branch only if their home state has also elected to opt-in. Consequently, until Georgia changes its election, the only way
we will be able to branch into states that have elected to opt-in on a reciprocal basis will be through interstate merger. The Company entered the South Carolina market by chartering a thrift, which is not subject to the same limitation.

Georgia Fair Lending Act.In addition to the federal and state laws noted above, the Georgia Fair Lending Act (GAFLA) imposes
restrictions and procedural requirements on most mortgage loans made in Georgia, including home equity loans and lines of credit. On August 5, 2003, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued a formal opinion stating that the entirety
of GAFLA is preempted by federal law for national banks and their operating subsidiaries. GAFLA contains a provision that preempts GAFLA as to state banks in the event that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency preempts GAFLA as to national
banks. Therefore, GB&T and any of its operating subsidiaries that may be engaged in mortgage lending will be exempt from the requirements of GAFLA.

Southern Bank & Trust

SB&T is a federally chartered thrift subject to the supervision, examination and
reporting requirements of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). The OTS regularly examines SB&Ts operations and has the authority to approve or disapprove mergers, the establishment of branches and similar corporate actions,
as well as the power to prevent the continuance or development of unsafe or unsound banking practices or other violations of law.

Qualified Thrift Lender Status. To be a Qualified Thrift Lender (QTL), an institution must meet the requirements of the Home Owners Loan Act QTL test for nine out of the last twelve months or the taxable year.

Under the QTL test, an institution must hold Qualified Thrift Investments (QTI) equal to at least 65.0% of its portfolio assets. QTI must fall into one
of the two following categories: (1) assets that are includable in QTI without limit; or (2) assets limited to 20% of portfolio assets. Portfolio assets are total assets minus goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets, office
property, and liquid assets not exceeding 20% of total assets. An institution ceases to be a QTL when its actual thrift investment percentage (the ratio of QTI divided by portfolio assets) falls, at month end, below 65.0% for four months within any
12-month period. At December 31, 2006, the actual thrift investment percentage for SB&T was 84.7%.

Lending
Limit. Lenders create a form of concentration risk when they extend a significant amount of credit to any one borrower or to borrowers who are related in a common enterprise. As such, savings associations are subject to regulatory limitations on
loans to one borrower. Under the general lending limit an associations total loans and extensions of credit outstanding to one borrower at one time shall not exceed 15% of the associations unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. If
certain qualifications are met, the savings association can have an additional 10% for loans and extensions of credit fully secured by readily marketable collateral having a market value, as determined by reliable and continuously available price
quotations, at least equal to the amount of the funds outstanding. There are also other exceptions to the general lending limit based on the loan type. The Director of the OTS may impose more stringent restrictions on a savings associations
loans to one borrower if OTS determines that such restrictions are necessary to protect the safety and soundness of the association.

Unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus are defined as: core capital and supplementary capital included in total capital, plus any allowance for loan losses not included in supplementary capital, plus the amount of investment in, and
advances to, subsidiaries not included in calculating core capital. As of December 31, 2006, the general lending limit for loans to one borrower for SB&T was $1.5 million.

##### Table of Contents

Unlike commercial banks, thrifts may generally make the following categories of loans only to the extent
specified:



| |  |  | Commercial loans up to 20% of assets (50% of which must be in small business loans).
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Nonresidential real property loans up to 400% of capital (the OTS may grant increased authority if it is determined that the increased authority poses no
significant threat to the safe and sound operation of the institution and is consistent with prudent operating practices).
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consumer loans up to 35% of assets (all loans in excess of 30% of assets must be direct loans).

| |  |  | Non-conforming loans up to 5% of assets.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Construction loans (residential) without security up to 5% of assets.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Regulations. The Company received approval of its application for permission to organize SB&T on July 12, 2006, and SB&T began
operations in September 2006. This approval includes, but is not limited to, the following conditions that must be complied with in a manner satisfactory to the Regional Director of the OTS:



| |  |  | SB&T must submit independent audit reports to the Regional Director for its first three years of operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | SB&T must operate within the parameters of the business plan submitted with the application and submit any proposed major deviations or material changes from
the plan for the prior, written non-objection of the Regional Director. The request for change must be submitted no later than 60 calendar days prior to the desired implementation date with a copy sent to the FDIC Regional Officer;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During the first two years of operation, SB&T must receive prior written non-objection of the Regional Director for any proposed new directors or senior
executive officers or any significant change in responsibilities of any senior executive officer; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | During the first eighteen months of operation, any contracts or agreements pertaining to transactions with affiliates, not yet submitted to the OTS for review, must
be provided to the Regional Director, at least 30 days prior to execution and must receive the Regional Directors written non-objection prior to implementation.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The FDIC approved SB&Ts application for federal deposit insurance on May 26, 2006 subject to the condition that the Tier 1 capital to
assets leverage ratio be maintained at not less than 8% throughout the first three years of operation and that an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses be provided.

Capital Adequacy

The Company and its subsidiaries are required to comply with the capital adequacy
standards established by the Federal Reserve, in the case of the Company, and the FDIC, in the case of the



17

##### Table of Contents

subsidiaries. The Federal Reserve has established a risk-based and a leverage measure of capital adequacy for bank holding companies. The subsidiaries are
also subject to risk-based and leverage capital requirements adopted by the FDIC, which are substantially similar to those adopted by the Federal Reserve for bank holding companies.

The risk-based capital standards are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank
holding companies, to account for off-balance-sheet exposure, and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance-sheet items, such as letters of credit and unfunded loan commitments, are assigned to broad risk
categories, each with appropriate risk weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance-sheet items.

The minimum guideline for the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8%. Total capital consists of two components, Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital. Tier 1 Capital generally consists of common
stockholders equity, minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and notes payable to
unconsolidated special purpose entities that issue trust preferred securities, net of investment in the entity, less goodwill and other specified intangible assets. Tier 1 Capital must equal at least 4% of risk-weighted assets. Tier 2 Capital
generally consists of subordinated debt, other preferred stock and hybrid capital, and a limited amount of loan loss reserves. The total amount of Tier 2 Capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 Capital. In December 2005, the Company issued $10.0
million of unsecured subordinated debentures to Southeastern Bank Financial Statutory Trust I which qualify as Tier 1 Capital. The Company issued an additional $10.0 million of unsecured subordinated debentures to Southeastern Bank Financial Trust
II in March 2006 which also qualify as Tier 1 Capital. The Companys ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.29% and the ratio of Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.09% at December 31, 2006.

In addition, the Federal Reserve has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum
ratio of Tier 1 Capital to average assets, less goodwill and other specified intangible assets, of 3% for bank holding companies that meet specified criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating and implementing the Federal Reserves
risk-based capital measure for market risk. All other bank holding companies generally are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4%. At December 31, 2006, our leverage ratio was 9.78%. The guidelines also provide that bank holding
companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without reliance on intangible assets. The Federal Reserve considers the leverage
ratio and other indicators of capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities.

Failure to meet capital guidelines
could subject a bank or bank holding company to a variety of enforcement remedies, including issuance of a capital directive, the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, a prohibition on accepting brokered deposits, and certain other
restrictions on its business. As described above, significant additional restrictions can be imposed on FDIC-insured depository institutions that fail to meet applicable capital requirements.

Payment of Dividends

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries. The principal sources of the Companys cash flow, including cash flow to pay dividends to its shareholders, are dividends paid by the
subsidiaries to the Company. Statutory and regulatory limitations apply to the subsidiaries payment of dividends. If, in the opinion of the federal banking regulator, the subsidiaries were engaged in or about to engage in an unsafe or unsound
practice, the federal banking regulator could require, after notice and a hearing, that it stop or refrain from engaging in the questioned practice. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository
institutions capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, a depository institution may not pay any dividend if payment would cause
it to become undercapitalized or if it already is undercapitalized. Moreover, the federal agencies have issued policy statements that provide that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating
earnings. See The CompanyPrompt Corrective Action.

The subsidiaries have additional restrictions for dividends imposed
by their respective regulatory agencies. The Georgia Department of Banking and Finance must approve dividend payments that would exceed 50% of GB&Ts net income for the prior year. The Office of Thrift Supervision must approve any dividend
payment made by SB&T during its first three years of operation pursuant to the business plan that was filed as part of its initial charter. Payment of dividends may also be affected or limited by other factors, such as the requirement to
maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines.

GB&T declared cash dividends payable to the Company of $500,000 in 2006, $3.5
million in 2005 and $2.0 million in 2004. The Company has paid cash dividends of $0.13 per share each quarter since 2004 which totaled $2.8 million in 2006 and $2.7 million in 2005 and 2004.

Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates

The
Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the provisions of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. Section 23A places limits on the amount of:



| |  |  | a banks loans or extensions of credit to affiliates;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a banks investment in affiliates;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------



| |  |  | assets a bank may purchase from affiliates, except for real and personal property exempted by the Federal Reserve;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | loans or extensions of credit made by a bank to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of affiliates; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a banks guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit issued on behalf of an affiliate.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The total amount of the above transactions is limited in amount, as to any one affiliate, to 10% of a banks capital and surplus and, as to all
affiliates combined, to 20% of a banks capital and surplus. In addition to the limitation on the amount of these transactions, each of the above transactions must also meet specified collateral requirements. The subsidiary banks must also
comply with other provisions designed to avoid the taking of low-quality assets.



19



---

##### Table of Contents

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to the provisions of Section 23B of the Federal
Reserve Act which, among other things, prohibit an institution from engaging in the above transactions with affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the institution or its subsidiaries, as
those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies.

The subsidiary banks are also subject to
restrictions on extensions of credit to its executive officers, directors, principal shareholders and their related interests. These extensions of credit (1) must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral,
as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with third parties, and (2) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.

Privacy

Financial institutions are required to
disclose their policies for collecting and protecting confidential information. Customers generally may prevent financial institutions from sharing nonpublic personal financial information with nonaffiliated third parties except under narrow
circumstances, such as the processing of transactions requested by the consumer or when the financial institution is jointly sponsoring a product or service with a nonaffiliated third party. Additionally, financial institutions generally may not
disclose consumer account numbers to any nonaffiliated third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail marketing or other marketing to consumers.

Anti-Terrorism Legislation

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and
Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT Act) imposes requirements and limitations on specified financial transactions and account relationships, intended to guard against money laundering and terrorism. The Company has established a customer identification
program pursuant to the know your customer rules contained in Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act.

Federal Deposit Insurance Reform

On February 8, 2006, President Bush signed the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the FDIRA). Among other
things, FDIRA changes the federal deposit insurance system by:



| |  |  | raising the coverage level for qualifying retirement accounts to $250,000, subject to future indexing;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the FDIC and the National Credit Union Administration are authorized to index deposit insurance coverage for inflation, for standard accounts and qualifying
retirement accounts, every five years beginning April 1, 2007;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prohibiting undercapitalized financial institutions from accepting employee benefit plan deposits;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | merging the Bank Insurance Fund and Savings Association Insurance Fund into a new Deposit Insurance Fund (the DIF); and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | providing credits to financial institutions that capitalized the FDIC prior to 1996 to offset future assessment premiums.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FDIRA also authorizes the FDIC to revise the current risk-based assessment system, subject to notice and comment and caps the amount of the DIF at 1.50%
of domestic deposits. The FDIC must issue cash dividends, awarded on a historical basis, for the amount of the DIF over the 1.50% ratio. Additionally, if the DIF exceeds 1.35% of domestic deposits at year-end, the FDIC must issue cash dividends,
awarded on a historical basis, for half of the amount of the excess.

Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act

President Bush signed the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 (Regulatory Relief Act) into law on October 13, 2006. The
Regulatory Relief Act repeals certain reporting requirements regarding loans to bank executive officers and principal shareholders. These changes have eliminated the statutory requirements for (1) the report to the Board of Directors when an
executive officer becomes indebted to another institution in an aggregate amount that is greater than the officer would receive from his or her own institution; (2) the report filed by the institution that listed all credits made to executive
officers since the previous report of condition; and (3) the report to the Board of Directors that is required when an executive officer or a principal shareholder become indebted to a correspondent bank.

The Regulatory Relief Act increased the size of a bank eligible for 18-month (rather than annual) examinations from $250 million to $500 million. The
Regulatory Relief Act amends the privacy rules of Gramm-Leach-Bliley to clarify that CPAs are not required to notify their customers of privacy and disclosure policies as long as they are subject to state law restraints on disclosure of
non-public personal information without customer approval. Finally, the Regulatory Relief Act requires that the federal banking regulators develop model privacy notice forms, and banks adopting the model forms will be afforded a regulatory safe
harbor under the disclosure requirements of Gramm-Leach-Bliley.

Proposed Legislation and Regulatory Action

New regulations and statutes are regularly proposed that contain wide-ranging proposals for altering the structures, regulations and competitive
relationships of financial institutions operating or doing business in the United States. We cannot predict whether or in what form any proposed regulation or statute will be adopted or the extent to which our business may be affected by any new
regulation or statute.

Effect of Governmental Monetary Polices

Our earnings are affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. The Federal Reserve Banks monetary policies have had, and are
likely to continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks and thrifts through its power to implement national monetary policy in order, among other things, to curb inflation or combat a recession. The monetary
policies of the Federal Reserve affect the levels of bank loans, investments and deposits through its control over the issuance of United States government securities, its regulation of the discount rate applicable to member banks and its influence
over reserve requirements to which member banks are subject. We cannot predict the nature or impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.

|Item 1A. | Risk Factors
|-------- | ------------

An investment in our common stock
involves risks. If any of the following risks or other risks, which have not been identified or which we may believe are immaterial or unlikely, actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. In such a
case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those
discussed in these forward-looking statements.

Our profitability is vulnerable to interest rate fluctuations.

Our profitability depends substantially upon our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest earned on assets, such as
loans and investment securities, and the interest paid for liabilities, such as savings and time deposits and out-of-market certificates of deposit. Market interest rates for loans, investments and deposits are highly sensitive to many factors
beyond our control. Recently, interest rate spreads have generally narrowed due to changing market conditions, policies of various government and regulatory authorities and competitive pricing pressures, and we cannot predict whether these rate
spreads will narrow even further. This narrowing of interest rate spreads could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we cannot predict whether interest rates will continue to remain at present levels.
Changes in interest rates may cause significant changes, up or down, in our net interest income. Depending on our portfolio of loans and investments, our results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

If the value of real estate in our core market were to decline materially, a significant portion of our loan portfolio could become under-collateralized, which
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

At December 31, 2006,
approximately 85.2% of our loans had real estate as a primary component of collateral. This collateral provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during the time the credit is
extended. If we are required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy the debt during a period of reduced real estate values, our earnings and capital could be materially adversely affected, given the relatively high percentage of our
loans that are secured by real estate.

A significant portion of our real estate collateral is located in Richmond, Columbia and Clarke
Counties in the State of Georgia and Aiken County in the State of South Carolina. A decline in local economic conditions in these areas could adversely affect the value of our real estate collateral, which could have a greater effect on our earnings
and capital than on the earnings and capital of larger financial institutions whose real estate loan portfolios are diversified across a broader geographic area.

##### Table of Contents

An economic downturn, especially one affecting our market areas, could adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.

Our success depends upon the growth in population, income levels, deposits and housing starts
in our primary market areas which principally include Richmond, Columbia and Clarke Counties in the State of Georgia and Aiken County in the State of South Carolina. If the communities in which we operate do not grow, or if prevailing economic
conditions locally or nationally are unfavorable, our business may not succeed. Unpredictable economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the quality of our loan portfolio and our financial performance. Economic recession over a prolonged
period or other economic problems in our market areas could have a material adverse impact on the quality of the loan portfolio and the demand for our products and services. Future adverse changes in the economies in our market areas may have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Further, the banking industry in Georgia and South Carolina is affected by general economic conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment and other
factors beyond our control. As community financial institutions, we are less able to spread the risk of unfavorable local economic conditions than larger or more regional banks. Moreover, we cannot give any assurance that we will benefit from any
market growth or favorable economic conditions in our primary market areas even if they do occur.

As community financial institutions, we have
different lending risks than larger banks.

We provide services to our local communities. Our ability to diversify our economic
risks is limited by our own local markets and economies. We lend primarily to small to medium-sized businesses, and, to a lesser extent, individuals which may expose us to greater lending risks than those of banks lending to larger,
better-capitalized businesses with longer operating histories.

We manage our credit exposure through careful monitoring of loan applicants
and loan concentrations in particular industries, and through loan approval and review procedures. We have established an evaluation process designed to determine the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses. While this evaluation process uses
historical and other objective information, the classification of loans and the establishment of loan losses is an estimate based on experience, judgment and expectations regarding our borrowers, the economies in which we and our borrowers operate,
as well as the judgment of our regulators. Our loan loss reserves may not be sufficient to absorb future loan losses or prevent a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

We could suffer loan losses from a decline in credit quality.

We could sustain losses if borrowers, guarantors and related parties fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. We have adopted underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and policies, including
the establishment and review of the allowance for credit losses that we believe are appropriate to minimize this risk by assessing the likelihood of nonperformance, tracking loan performance and diversifying our credit portfolio. These policies and
procedures, however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business strategy includes the continuation of growth plans, and our financial condition and results of
operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage our growth effectively.

We plan to expand our business
in the Aiken County, South Carolina market and intend to continue pursuing a growth strategy for our business. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in growth stages of
development, such as recruiting and retaining qualified personnel, becoming familiar with new geographic markets and financing the expansion. Our ability to grow successfully will depend on these and other factors, including the continued
availability of desirable business opportunities and the competitive responses from other financial institutions in our market areas. If we are unable to address these factors or otherwise manage our growth effectively, our expansion efforts could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or future prospects, and could adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Also, if our growth occurs more slowly than
anticipated or declines, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Additional growth may require us to raise additional
capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. We anticipate that our current capital resources will satisfy our capital requirements for
the foreseeable future, although we may need to raise additional capital to support our continued growth.

Our ability to raise additional
capital will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of our ability to raise additional capital on terms acceptable to us. If we
cannot raise additional capital when needed, our ability to further expand our operations could be materially impaired.

Changes in monetary policies
may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our financial condition and results of
operations are affected by credit policies of monetary authorities, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. Actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board, could have an adverse effect on our deposit levels, loan
demand or business and earnings.

Our recent results may not be indicative of our future results, and may not provide guidance to assess the risk of
an investment in our common stock.

We may not be able to sustain our historical rate of growth or may not even be able to grow our
business at all. In addition, our recent and rapid growth may distort some of our historical financial ratios and statistics. In the future, we may not have the benefit of several recently favorable factors, such as a generally increasing interest
rate environment, a strong residential mortgage market or the ability to find suitable expansion opportunities. Various factors, such as economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations and competition, may also impede or prohibit our
ability to expand our market presence. If we experience a significant decrease in our historical rate of growth, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected due to a high percentage of our operating costs being fixed
expenses.

Our ability to pay dividends is limited and we may be unable to pay future dividends. As a result, capital
appreciation, if any, of our common stock may be your sole opportunity for gains on your investment for the foreseeable future.

We
make no assurances that we will pay any dividends in the future. Any future determination relating to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on a number of factors, including our future earnings,
capital requirements, financial condition, future prospects, regulatory restrictions and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, and if declared by our
Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. As part of our consideration to pay cash dividends, we intend to retain adequate funds from future earnings to support the development and growth of our business. In addition, our
ability to pay dividends is restricted by federal policies and regulations. It is the policy of the Federal Reserve Board that bank holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock only out of net income available over the past year and
only if prospective earnings retention is consistent with the organizations expected future needs and financial condition. Further, our principal source of funds to pay dividends are cash dividends that we receive from our subsidiaries.

Our directors and executive officers own a significant portion of our common stock and can influence shareholder decisions.

Our directors, executive officers and relatives of directors, as a group, beneficially owned approximately 54.0% of our fully diluted outstanding common
stock as of March 1, 2007. As a result of their ownership, the directors and executive officers will have the ability, if they voted their shares in concert, to control the outcome of all matters submitted to our shareholders for approval,
including the election of directors.

We are subject to extensive regulation that could limit or restrict our activities and impose financial
requirements or limitations on the conduct of our business, which limitations or restrictions could adversely affect our profitability.

As a bank holding company, we are primarily regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board). Our subsidiary bank is primarily regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
FDIC) and the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance. Our subsidiary thrift is primarily regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). Our compliance with Federal Reserve Board, FDIC, Department of Banking and
Finance and OTS regulations is costly and may limit our growth and restrict certain of our activities, including payment of dividends, mergers and acquisitions, investments, loans and interest rates charged, interest rates paid on deposits and
locations of offices. We are also subject to capital requirements of our regulators.

The laws and regulations applicable to the banking
industry could change at any time, and we cannot predict the effects of these changes on our business and profitability. Because government regulation greatly affects the business and financial results of all commercial banks, thrifts and bank
holding companies, our cost of compliance could adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

Holders of our subordinated debentures have rights that are senior to those of our common shareholders.

We have supported our continued growth by issuing trust preferred securities from special purpose trusts and accompanying
subordinated debentures. At December 31, 2006, we had outstanding subordinated debentures totaling $20 million and may issue additional trust preferred securities in the future. We unconditionally guarantee the payment of principal and interest
on the trust preferred securities. Also, the debentures we issued to the special purpose trusts that relate to those trust preferred securities are senior to our common stock. As a result, we must make payments on the subordinated debentures before
we can pay any dividends on our common stock. In the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, holders of our subordinated debentures must be satisfied before any distributions can be made on our common stock. We have the right to defer
distributions on our subordinated debentures (and related trust preferred securities) for up to five years, but during that time we would not be able to pay dividends on our common stock.

Environmental liability associated with lending activities could result in losses.

In the course of our business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing our loans. If hazardous substances are discovered on any of these
properties, we may be liable to governmental entities or third parties for the costs of remediation of the hazard, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Many environmental laws can impose liability regardless of whether we knew of, or
were responsible for, the contamination. In addition, if we arrange for the disposal of hazardous or toxic substances at another site, we may be liable for the costs of cleaning up and removing those substances from the site, even if we neither own
nor operate the disposal site. Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may materially limit the use of properties that we acquire through foreclosure, reduce their value or limit our ability to sell them in the event of a
default on the loans they secure. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability.

The Company currently operates two main
offices, eight branches and an operations center housed in a series of buildings adjacent to the GB&T main office. The principal administrative offices of the Company are located at 3530 Wheeler Road, Augusta, Georgia. Locations in metro Augusta
include the main office, four branch offices in Augusta, Georgia, two branches in Martinez, Georgia, and one branch in Evans, Georgia. There is one branch located in Athens, Georgia, and the SB&T main office is located in Aiken, South Carolina.
All banking offices are owned by the Company and are not subject to mortgage.

Each banking office in metro Augusta is a brick building
with a teller line, customer service area, offices for the Companys lenders, drive-in teller lanes, a vault with safe deposit boxes, and a walk-up or drive-up automated teller machine. The banking offices are generally 3,000 to 5,000 square
foot buildings. Exceptions are the main office with approximately 14,000 square feet, the Washington Road branch with 1,800 square feet, and the Cotton Exchange branch with 7,500 square feet of space. In December 2005, the first branch located
outside of metro Augusta was opened in Athens, Georgia. This 4,000 square foot banking office is located on the border of the Athens historic district and includes a teller line, customer service area, and lending offices. The only location outside
of Georgia is the SB&T main office located in Aiken, South Carolina, which was opened in September 2006. This 4,000 square foot banking office has all the facilities of the metro Augusta offices. In August 2004, the Company purchased land in
Evans across the street from its existing branch and plans to construct and open a drive-thru facility on this property during the second quarter of 2007.

In 1997, the Company acquired 24,000 square feet of commercial office space located at 3515 Wheeler Road, across the street from the main office. Initial renovations of 17,000 square feet were completed in June 1998
and operational functions including data processing, deposit operations, human resources, loan operations, credit administration, and accounting were relocated. In 2000 and 2001, additional renovations were made and the mortgage operations were
moved to this Operations Complex, occupying 6,000 square feet. In December 2003, the remaining office space that was leased was renovated and the construction lending department now occupies this location.

In November 2002, the Company purchased approximately 23,400 square feet of commercial office space on Walton Way Ext., located in close proximity to the
Operations Complex and Main Office. Approximately 10,400 square feet was renovated in 2003 to accommodate operational functions. Approximately 500 square feet of this property is used as a meeting room. All properties owned by the Company are
adequately covered by the appropriate insurance for replacement value.

Due to continued growth, the Company purchased a commercial
building with approximately 45,000 square feet of office space on Columbia Road in Martinez in May 2006. The objective of the Company in acquiring this property was to provide adequate space for existing operations to be relocated into one building
and to meet future requirements necessitated by growth of the Company. The Company plans to renovate the property and relocate all operations personnel to this facility by the end of 2007.

The Companys automated teller machine network includes four drive-up machines located in major retail shopping areas as well as machines located at
each branch office.

The Company declared cash dividends of $0.13 per share on January 18,
2006, April 18, 2006, July 19, 2006, and October 18, 2006. The Company declared cash dividends of $0.13 per share in each quarter of 2005. The Companys primary sources of income are dividends and other payments
received from its subsidiaries. The amount of dividends that may be paid by subsidiaries to the Company depends upon the subsidiaries earnings and capital position and is limited by federal and state law, regulations and policies.

Cash dividends on GB&Ts common stock may be declared and paid only out of its retained earnings, and dividends may not be declared at any
time when GB&Ts paid-in capital and appropriated earnings do not, in combination, equal at least 20% of its capital stock account. In addition, the Georgia Department of Banking and Finances current rules and regulations require
prior approval before cash dividends may be declared and paid if: (1) the banks ratio of equity capital to adjusted total assets is less than 6%; (ii) the aggregate amount of dividends declared or anticipated to be declared in that
calendar year exceeds 50% of the banks net profits, after taxes but before dividends, for the previous calendar year; or (iii) the percentage of the banks loans classified as adverse as to repayment or recovery by the Georgia
Department of Banking and Finance at the most recent examination of the

bank exceeds 80% of the banks equity as reflected at such examination. Cash dividends on SB&Ts common stock are not permitted during its
first three years of operation with approval from the OTS pursuant to its current business plan.

The Companys ability to pay cash
dividends is further subject to continued payment of interest that is owed on subordinated debentures issued in connection with the Southeastern Bank Financial Statutory Trust I issuance in December 2005 of $10.0 million of trust preferred
securities and the Southeastern Bank Financial Trust II issuance in March 2006 of $10.0 million of trust preferred securities. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $20.0 million of subordinated debentures outstanding. The
Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the subordinated debentures for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters. If the Company defers, or fails to make, interest payments on the subordinated debentures, the Company will be
prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from paying cash dividends on common stock until all deferred interest is paid and interest payments on the subordinated debentures resumes.

The Company did not repurchase any of its equity securities or sell any of its equity securities without registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, during the fourth quarter of 2006.

|Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The purpose of this discussion is to focus on significant changes in the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries, Georgia Bank & Trust Company of Augusta (GB&T) and Southern Bank & Trust (SB&T), during the past three years. The discussion and analysis is intended to supplement and highlight
information contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Overview

GB&T was organized by a group of local citizens and commenced business on August 28, 1989, beginning operations with one main
office. GB&T became a subsidiary of the Company in 1992 as a result of its holding company reorganization. Today, GB&T operates eight full service banking offices in Richmond and Columbia counties in Augusta, Martinez, and Evans, Georgia and
one branch in Athens, Georgia. GB&T operates three mortgage origination offices in Augusta, Savannah, and Athens, Georgia. The Savannah, Georgia office also offers construction lending services. Bank and mortgage operations are located in
Augusta, Georgia in two operations campuses located in close proximity to the main office in Augusta, Georgia. Trust and retail investment services are located in the main office. GB&T is Augustas largest community banking company. In
2005, the Company began organizing a federally chartered thrift to expand its business into Aiken, South Carolina, and subsequently opened the main office of SB&T, the Companys newest subsidiary, on September 12, 2006.

The Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC metropolitan area, which includes Aiken, SC, has a diversified economy based primarily on government, public
utilities, health care, manufacturing, construction, and wholesale and retail trade. Augusta is one of the leading medical centers in the Southeast. The 2005 population of the Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC metropolitan area was 520,332, the second
largest in Georgia and fourth largest in South Carolina. The Company expanded into the Athens, Georgia market in December 2005. Athens has a diversified economy which includes government, retail services, tourism, manufacturing, other services, and
health care, with the largest share of government jobs in the state. The Athens-Clarke County, GA metropolitan area ranks sixth in Georgia with a 2005 population of 175,085.

The Companys services include the origination of residential and commercial real estate loans, construction and development loans, and commercial
and consumer loans. The Company also offers a variety of deposit programs, including noninterest-bearing demand, interest checking, money management, savings, and time deposits. In the Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC metropolitan area, GB&T had
12.34% of all deposits and was the second largest depository institution at June 30, 2006, as cited from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations website. Securities sold under repurchase agreements are also offered. Additional services
include wealth management, trust, retail investment, and mortgage. As a matter of practice, most mortgage loans are sold in the secondary market; however, some mortgage loans are placed in the portfolio based on asset/liability management
strategies. The Company continues to concentrate on increasing its market share through various new deposit and loan products and other financial services, by adding locations, and by focusing on the customer relationship management philosophy. The
Company is committed to building lifelong relationships with its customers, employees, shareholders, and the communities it serves.

The Companys primary source of income is from its lending activities followed by interest income
from its investment activities, service charges and fees on deposits, and gain on sales of mortgage loans in the secondary market. Interest income on loans and investment securities increased due to rising interest rates and increased volumes.
Service charges and fees on deposits increased due to increases in NSF income on retail checking accounts and debit/ATM card income, both the result of new account growth. Gain on sales of mortgage loans for 2006 did not change significantly over
2005. Both trust service fees and retail investment income experienced growth again this year as the Company continues to focus on the expansion of the wealth management area.

The Company has experienced steady growth. Over the past four years, assets grew from $569.8 million at December 31, 2002 to $1.0 billion at
December 31, 2006. From year end 2002 to year end 2006, loans increased $353.3 million, and deposits increased $362.2 million. Also, from 2002 to 2006 return on average equity increased from 13.95% to 16.10% and return on average assets
increased from 1.14% to 1.17%. Net income for the year ended 2002 was $6.0 million compared to net income of $11.2 million at year end 2006. The Company has paid cash dividends of $0.13 per share each quarter since 2004.

The Company meets its liquidity needs by managing cash and due from banks, federal funds purchased and sold, maturity of investment securities, principal
repayments received from mortgage backed securities, and draws on lines of credit. Additionally, liquidity can be managed through structuring deposit and loan maturities. The Company funds loan and investment growth with core deposits, securities
sold under repurchase agreements and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. During inflationary periods, interest rates generally increase and operating expenses generally rise. When interest rates rise, variable rate loans and investments produce higher
earnings; however, deposit and other borrowings interest expense also rise. The Company monitors its interest rate risk as it applies to net income in a ramp up and down annually 200 basis points (2%) scenario and as it applies to economic
value of equity in a shock up and down 200 (2%) basis points scenario. The Company monitors operating expenses through responsibility center budgeting. See Interest Rate Sensitivity below.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The accounting and
financial reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Of these policies, management has identified
the allowance for loan losses as a critical accounting estimate that requires difficult, subjective judgment and is important to the presentation of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which affects the Companys earnings directly.
Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be
adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, historical
loss rates, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions and trends that may affect a borrowers ability to repay.

##### Table of Contents

The Company segments its allowance for loan losses into the following three major categories: 1)
identified losses for impaired loans; 2) general allocation for Classified/Watch loans; and 3) general allocation for loans with satisfactory ratings. Risk ratings are initially assigned in accordance with the Companys loan and collection
policy. An organizationally independent department reviews grade assignments on an ongoing basis. Management reviews current information and events regarding a borrowers financial condition and strengths, cash flows available for debt
repayment, the related collateral supporting the loan and the effects of known and expected economic conditions. When the evaluation reflects a greater than normal risk associated with the individual loan, management classifies the loan accordingly.
If the loan is determined to be impaired, management allocates a portion of the allowance for loan losses for that loan based upon the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, or the fair value of the
collateral if collection of the loan is deemed to be dependent upon the collateral. Regulatory guidance is also considered. Cash receipts for accruing loans are applied to principal and interest under the contractual terms of the loan agreement;
however, cash receipts on impaired and nonaccrual loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are generally applied first to principal and then to interest income depending upon the overall risk of principal loss to the Company.
Impaired and Classified/Watch loans are aggressively monitored. The allocation for loans rated satisfactory is further subdivided into various types of loans as defined by regulatory reporting codes. The Companys management also gives
consideration to subjective factors such as, national and local economic conditions, bankruptcy trends, unemployment trends, loan concentrations, and competitive factors in the local market. These factors represent uncertainties in the
Companys business environment and are included in the various individual components of the allowance for loan losses.

Management
believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. The loan portfolio is comprised of 85.2% real estate loans; 10.8% commercial, financial and agricultural loans; and 4.2% consumer loans. Commercial real estate comprises 26.5% of the loan
portfolio and is primarily owner occupied properties where the operations of the commercial entity provide the necessary cash flow to service the debt. For this portion of the real estate loan portfolio, repayment is not dependent upon the sale of
the real estate held as collateral. Construction and development loans, 35.6% of the portfolio, have been an increasingly important portion of the real estate loan portfolio. The Company carefully monitors the loans in this category since the
repayment of these loans is generally dependent upon the sale of the real estate in the normal course of business and can be impacted by national and local economic conditions. The residential category, 21.1% of the portfolio, represents those loans
that the Company chooses to maintain in its portfolio rather than selling into the secondary market for marketing and competitive reasons and commercial loans secured by residential real estate. The residential held for sale category, 2.0% of the
portfolio, comprises loans that are in the process of being sold into the secondary market. In these loans, the credit has been approved by the investor and the interest rate locked so that the Company minimizes credit and interest rate risk with
respect to these loans. The Company has no large loan concentrations to individual borrowers. Unsecured loans at December 31, 2006 were $10.9 million. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to
the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Companys allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may
advise additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Such regulatory guidance is considered, and the Company may recognize additions to the allowance as a result.

Results of Operations

Total assets increased $176.9 million, or 20.5% in 2006 compared to year end 2005, primarily due to
loan growth and an increase in cash and cash equivalents. The Company achieved record net income of $11.2 million in 2006, a 12.1% increase over 2005. The increase in net income is attributable to increases in net interest income and noninterest
income, somewhat offset by increases in noninterest expense. Interest income increased $18.4 million or 38.9% in 2006. Interest income on loans, including loan fees, was the principal contributor, representing an increase of $15.4 million over 2005.
This was the result of $148.7 million in loan growth for the Company in 2006 and the rising interest rate environment. Interest income on investment securities increased $2.7 million in 2006 as a result of a $36.6 million increase in the annual
average balance of the investment portfolio in 2006. Significant changes to noninterest income in 2006 include a $379,000 increase in service charges and fees on deposits related to new account growth and a $334,000 increase in retail investment
income due to production by new personnel.

The Company had total deposit growth of $138.1 million, or 20.8% in 2006. Interest expense on
deposits increased $10.2 million as a result of this growth and higher interest rates. The most significant increase was in time deposits with a $111.6 million balance increase over 2005 year end with a corresponding $5.4 million increase in
interest expense. Brokered CDs totaled $67.4 million at year end 2006 and accounted for $1.6 million of the increase in interest expense. Interest expense on other borrowings increased $1.9 million with $1.2 million attributable to subordinated
debentures. The annual average balance of federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements grew $6.8 million in 2006, with related interest expense increasing $1.4 million over 2005. The Company was in a $14.7 million federal
funds sold position at 2006 year end, as compared to $2.8 million at 2005 year end. Noninterest expense increased $3.9 million or 15.5% in 2006. Salaries and other personnel expense increased $2.3 million primarily as a result of additional
employees in 2006 related to the Companys continued growth and expansion into new markets. Other operating expenses increased $1.5 million with the most significant increases reflected in the processing expense and professional fees
categories. The Company continues to monitor operating expenses and uses responsibility center budgeting to assist in this endeavor. The operating efficiency ratio of 60.20% in 2006 is a 0.42% increase from 2005.

The earnings performance of the Company is reflected in its return on average assets and average equity of 1.17% and 16.10%, respectively, during 2006
compared to 1.27% and 16.15%, respectively, during 2005. The return on average assets and average equity was 1.29% and 15.50%, respectively, in 2004. Basic net income per share on weighted average common shares outstanding improved to $2.10 in 2006
compared to $1.89 in 2005 and $1.66 in 2004. Diluted net income per share on weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding improved to $2.08 in 2006 compared to $1.86 in 2005 and $1.63 in 2004. The Company has paid cash dividends
of $0.13 per share each quarter since 2004.

Net Interest Income

The primary source of earnings for the Company is net interest income, which is the difference between income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest expense incurred on
interest-bearing sources of funds, such as deposits and borrowings. The following table shows the average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, average yields earned and rates paid on those respective balances, and
the resulting interest income and interest expense for the periods indicated. Average balances are calculated based on daily balances, yields on non-taxable investments are not reported on a tax equivalent basis and average balances for loans
include nonaccrual loans even though interest was not earned.

The increase in average loans of $116.7 million and the increase in average investments of $37.2
million were funded by increases in average deposits of $111.1 million, subordinated debentures of $16.8 million, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings of $8.3 million, and federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements of $6.8
million. For 2006, average total assets were $951.1 million, a 21.2% increase over 2005. Average interest-earning assets for 2006 were $890.9 million, or 93.7% of average total assets.

Interest income is the largest contributor to income. Interest income on loans, including loan fees, increased $15.4 million from 2005 to $54.3 million
in 2006. The increase in loan interest income

resulted from increased loan volume and a 1.07% increase in the average yield due to the rising interest rate environment in 2006. Investment income
increased $2.7 million to $10.7 million as a result of volume and higher investment yields in 2006. Interest income on federal funds sold increased primarily as the result of a 1.76% increase in the average yield. Interest expense on deposits
increased $10.2 million from 2005 to $24.1 million as the result of deposit growth and higher interest rates. Interest expense on federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements increased $1.4 million, again due to growth and
rising interest rates. Interest expense on other borrowings increased primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in interest expense on subordinated debentures which were issued in December 2005 and March 2006 resulting in a $16.8 million increase in
the annual average balance. The overall result was an increase in net interest income of $4.8 million or 16.4% in 2006 from 2005. Average yields on interest-earning assets increased to 7.37% in 2006, compared to 6.41% in 2005.

Net interest income increased $3.7 million in 2005 compared to 2004 as a result of the growth in the volume of average earning assets and an increase in
interest rates. Interest earning assets averaged $737.2 million in 2005, an increase of 16.9%, from the $630.4 million averaged in 2004. Average yields on earning assets increased to 6.41% in 2005, compared to 5.61% in 2004.

A key performance measure for net interest income is the net interest margin, or net interest income divided by average interest-earning
assets. Unlike the net interest spread, the net interest margin is affected by the level of non-interest sources of funding used to support interest-earning assets. The Companys net interest margin decreased to 3.84% in 2006 from
3.98% in 2005. In 2004, the net interest margin was 4.08%. The net interest margin deteriorated in 2006 as the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits increased more quickly than the average rate on interest-earning assets. The high level of
competition in the local market for both loans and deposits continues to influence the net interest margin. The net interest margin continues to be supported by demand deposits which provide a noninterest-bearing source of funds. The Companys
current marketing efforts are focused on increasing demand deposits and NOW accounts to help prevent further deterioration in the net interest margin. The net interest spread measures the difference between the average yield on interest-earning
assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing sources of funds. The net interest spread eliminates the impact of noninterest-bearing funds and gives a direct perspective on the effect of market interest rate movements. As a result of changes
in interest rates in 2006, the net interest spread decreased 27 basis points to 3.29% in 2006. The 2005 net interest spread of 3.56% also represented a decrease from 2004s 3.80%.

Changes in the net interest income from period to period result from increases or decreases in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, increases in the average rates earned and paid on such assets and liabilities, the ability to manage the earning asset portfolio, and the availability of particular sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits. The following
table: Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income indicates the changes in the Companys net interest income as a result of changes in volume and rate from 2006 to 2005, and 2005 to 2004. The analysis of changes in net interest
income included in the following table indicates that on an overall basis in 2006 to 2005, the increase in the balances or volumes of interest-earning assets created a positive impact in net income. This was somewhat offset by the impact of
increased volumes of interest-bearing liabilities. The rising rate environment of 2006 resulted in rate increases on interest-earning assets which were more than offset by rate increases on interest-bearing liabilities. In 2005 to 2004, the increase
in the balances or volumes of interest-earning assets created a positive impact in net income which was partially offset by the impact of increased volumes of interest-bearing liabilities. Rising rates in 2005 resulted in rate increases on
interest-bearing liabilities that exceeded rate increases on interest-earning assets.

The variances for each major category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
are attributable to (a) changes in volume (changes in volume times prior year rate), (b) changes in rate (changes in rate times prior year volume) and (c) combined (changes in rate times the change in volume).

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income consists of
revenues generated from a broad range of financial services and activities, including service charges on deposit accounts, gain on sales of loans, fee-based services, and products where commissions are earned through sales of products such as real
estate mortgages, retail investment services, trust services, and other activities. In addition, the increase in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance and gains or losses realized from the sale of investment securities are included in
noninterest income.

##### Table of Contents

Noninterest income for 2006 was $14.0 million, an increase of $1.6 million or 13.1% from 2005. Service
charges and fees on deposits increased $379,000 in 2006 primarily due to increases in NSF fees for retail checking accounts and debit/ATM card income, both the result of new account growth. These increases were somewhat offset by decreases in
service charges on non-personal deposit accounts due to increases in the earnings credit applied to average balances maintained in those accounts. Retail investment income increased $334,000 primarily due to production by new personnel. Increases of
$299,000 in net investment securities gains were the result of a $526,000 gain recognized on the sale of equity securities, partially offset by losses on the sale of agency and mortgage-backed securities. Other contributing factors to the increase
in noninterest income include increases in trust services fees due to increased sales from the continued development of that area and increases in the increase in cash-surrender value of bank-owned life insurance due to an additional purchase of
$3.5 million in bank-owned life insurance in February 2006.

Noninterest income for 2005 was $12.4 million, a decrease of $84,000 or 0.7%
from 2004. Contributing factors include decreases in gain on sales of loans in the secondary mortgage market due to lower mortgage loan volumes which were primarily the result of the rising interest rate environment, increased competition, reduced
staff in existing offices, and the closing of the Nashville, Tennessee mortgage office. The increase in cash surrender value of life insurance decreased due to reduced interest rates. These decreases were partially offset by increases in service
charges and fees on deposits during the period primarily due to increases in NSF fees and ATM income, somewhat offset by decreases in service charges, all a result of new retail checking accounts. The decrease in service charge income was also
attributable to increases in the earnings credit.

The following table presents the principal components of noninterest income for the last
three years:

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense totaled $28.9 million in 2006, an increase of 15.5% from 2005 noninterest expense of $25.0 million. Noninterest expense attributable to the Companys expansion into new markets totaled $1.9
million for 2006. Salaries and other personnel expense increased $2.3 million due to offices opened in the Aiken, South Carolina and Athens, Georgia markets, the expansion of the wealth management area, medical expenses and stock options
compensation expense recognized for the acceleration of the vesting period for two key employees and to comply with SFAS No. 123(R). Other operating expenses increased $1.5 million in 2006. Processing expenses increased $407,000 primarily due
to retail investment processing fees related to increased production and fees associated with new account growth for both retail and business checking products. Professional fees increased $275,000 primarily for Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance, other
advisory services and legal fees. Marketing expense increased $174,000 primarily due to advertising for expansion into the Athens and Aiken markets. Contributions increased as the result of a $200,000 donation made to Georgia Bank Foundation, and
supplies expense increased $152,000 due to the continued growth of the Company.

Noninterest expense totaled $25.0 million in 2005, an
increase of 5.4% from 2004 noninterest expense of $23.7 million. Noninterest expense attributable to the Companys expansion into new markets totaled $432,000 for 2005. Salary expense and employee benefits increased $977,000 primarily as a
result of additional employees in 2005 related to the Companys continued growth and expansion. The increase in occupancy expenses is primarily due to depreciation expense on the Walton Way Operations Campus and the Cotton Exchange branch which
both opened in 2004. Other operating expenses increased $191,000 in 2005. Professional fees increased $247,000 primarily due to trust advisory fees and other advisory services. Staff development expense increased $143,000 primarily due to sales
training. Increases in other operating expenses were partially offset by decreases in loan related expenses of $209,000 and processing expenses of $91,000. Nonrecurring expenses in 2004 included $150,000 related to a loan which was sold into the
secondary market that the Company was required to repurchase based on a fraudulent appraisal and $50,000 for a commercial loan litigation settlement. The decrease in processing expenses is attributable to moving ATM processing in-house and the
expiration of commissions due under an overdraft protection contract.

The Company continues to monitor expenditures in all organizational
units by utilizing specific cost accounting and reporting methods as well as responsibility center budgeting. The following table presents the principal components of noninterest expense for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

The Companys efficiency ratio (noninterest expense as a percentage of net interest income
and noninterest income, excluding gains and losses on the sale of investments) increased to 60.20% in 2006 compared to 59.78% in 2005 but is still below the 2004 ratio of 62.09%. Although the Company had significant increases in both net interest
income and noninterest income, noninterest expense related to continued growth and expansion into new markets led to the deterioration of the efficiency ratio in 2006. The improvement in the efficiency ratio in 2005 is due to net interest income
increasing at a faster rate than noninterest expense. Expenses for growth and expansion were more than offset by income produced from existing operations. The improvement in the efficiency ratio in 2004 is the result of increased income with
noninterest expense remaining stable. Increased expenses for new facilities and product development were offset by a reduction in salaries expense.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense increased $719,000 or 14.5% in 2006 from 2005, and increased $850,000 or 20.7% in 2005 from
2004. The effective tax rate as a percentage of pre-tax income was 33.7% in 2006, 33.2% in 2005, and 32.0% in 2004. Higher income in 2006 resulted in taxable income over $15.0 million which was taxed at a higher federal income tax rate.
Additionally, for federal income taxes, increases in nontaxable bank owned life insurance income and tax-exempt municipals was mostly offset by increases in nondeductible stock option expense. However, for state income tax purposes, the increases in
nontaxable bank owned life insurance income was significantly offset by Georgia disallowed agency interest income and increases in nondeductible stock options. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2005 is primarily due to the graduated increase
in the federal income tax rate from 34% in 2002 to 35%. The lower effective tax rate in 2004 is primarily due to an increase in tax-exempt income on loans, municipal securities, and increase in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance.

Provision for Loan Losses, Net Charge-offs and Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings necessary to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan
losses represents a reserve for losses in the loan portfolio. The Company has developed policies and procedures for evaluating the overall quality of its loan portfolio and the timely identification of problem credits. Management continues to review
these policies and procedures and makes further improvements as needed. The adequacy of the Companys allowance for loan losses and the effectiveness of the Companys internal policies and procedures are also reviewed periodically by the
Companys regulators and the Companys internal loan review personnel. The Companys regulators may advise the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based upon their judgments about information available to them at the time
of their examination. Such regulatory guidance is considered, and the Company may recognize additions to the allowance as a result.

The
Companys Board of Directors, with the recommendation of management, approves the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses based upon internal policies and procedures, historical loan loss ratios, loan volume, size and character of
the loan portfolio, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries, value of the collateral underlying the loans, specific problem loans and present or anticipated economic conditions and trends. The Company continues to refine the
methodology on which the level of the allowance for loan losses is based, by comparing historical loss ratios utilized to actual experience and by classifying loans for analysis based on similar risk characteristics.

For significant problem loans, managements review consists of the evaluation of the financial condition and strengths of the borrower, cash flows
available for debt repayment, the related collateral supporting the loan and the effects of known and expected economic conditions. When the evaluation reflects a greater than normal risk associated with the individual problem loan, management
classifies the loan accordingly and allocates a portion of the allowance for loan losses for that loan based on the results of the evaluation described above plus the historical loss rates and regulatory guidance relating to classified loans. The
table below indicates those allowances allocated for loans classified as problem loans and the allocated general allowance for all non-classified loans according to loan type determined through the Companys comprehensive allowance methodology
for the years indicated. The unallocated general allowance is based on managements consideration at the balance sheet date of various conditions that are not directly measurable in determining the allocated allowance considering the recognized
uncertainty in estimating loan losses. These conditions include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates; trends in volumes, credit concentrations and terms of loans in the portfolio; national and local economic conditions; recent loss
experience; and changes in lending policies and procedures. As reflected by the unallocated portion of the allowance, the adequacy of the Companys allowance for loan losses is evaluated on an overall portfolio basis. Because these allocations
are based upon estimates and subjective judgment, it is not necessarily indicative of the specific amounts or loan categories in which loan losses may occur.

The allowance for loan losses was decreased $694,000 in 2006 to adjust for over-accrual of estimated losses for unfunded lines and commitments and standby letters at December 31, 2005 to comply with SAB 108. This
adjustment decreased the allowance for loan losses at January 1, 2006 from $9.1 million to $8.4 million. The allowance for loan losses was $9.8 million at December 31, 2006, a $1.3 million increase after the adjustment. Increases in
outstanding loan balances were the primary reason for the increase somewhat offset by decreases in the allowance due to lower levels of

Classified and Watch-rated debt, decreased reserves for specific loans and the change in the allowance calculation related to economic and market risk
factors. In 2006, the loan loss method discussed under Critical Accounting Estimates was revised to include economic and market risk factors as part of the various individual components of the allowance for loan losses and to eliminate
unfunded lines and commitments and standby letters of credit from the general allocation. Prior to 2006, economic and market risk factors were specifically identified and recorded as a separate component of the allowance and unfunded lines and
commitments and standby letters of credit were included in the general allocation. With the two exceptions noted above, the loan loss method discussed under Critical Accounting Estimates was consistently applied to loans in 2006, 2005,
2004, 2003 and 2002.

|--- | ------------------------------------------------

Additions to the allowance for loan losses, which are expensed on the Companys income statement as the provision for loan losses, are made periodically to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level
based upon managements evaluation of the potential risk in the loan portfolio. The Companys provision for loan losses in 2006 was $2.5 million, an increase of $637,000, or 34.6% from the 2005 provision of $1.8 million.

Real estate-construction loans grew $82.0 million (44.4%) in 2006 with a corresponding increase of $851,000 in the allowance for loan loss. The
decrease in the allowance for commercial, financial, and agricultural loans in 2006 is primarily due to $694,000 for unfunded lines and commitments and standby letters of credit in 2005 which were eliminated in 2006 to comply with SAB 108. The
allocation of $4.7 million of the allowance for loan losses to real estate-mortgage reflects the credit ratings associated with these loans and the resulting higher reserve factor.

##### Table of Contents

The following table provides details regarding charge-offs and recoveries by loan category during the
most recent five year period, as well as supplemental information relating to both net loan losses, the provision and the allowance for loan losses during each of the past five years. As the table indicates, net charge-offs for 2006 represented
0.17% of average loans outstanding, compared to 0.12% for 2005 and 0.20% for 2004. The Companys charge-off ratios continue to be lower than the average for the industry.

|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was 1.30% of outstanding loans, down from the 1.52% level at December 31, 2005 and the
1.60% level at December 31, 2004. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans adjusted for SAB 108 was 1.40% at December 31, 2005, accounting for 12 basis points of the 22 basis point decrease from 2005 to 2006. Other
factors contributing to the decrease include lower levels of Classified and Watch-rated debt and a higher percentage of loans with satisfactory ratings. Management considers the allowance appropriate based upon its analysis of the potential risk in
the portfolio using the methods previously discussed. Managements judgment is based upon a number of assumptions about events which are believed to be

reasonable, but which may or may not prove correct. While it is the Companys policy to charge off in the current period the loans in which a loss is
considered probable, there are additional risks of losses which cannot be quantified precisely or attributed to a particular loan or class of loans. Because these risks include present and forecasted economic conditions, managements judgment
as to the adequacy of the allowance is necessarily approximate and imprecise. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the allowance for loan losses or that additional increases in the allowance will not be
required. See Critical Accounting Estimates.

Financial Condition

Composition of the Loan Portfolio

Loans are the primary component of the Companys
interest-earning assets and generally are expected to provide higher yields than the other categories of earning assets. Those higher yields reflect the inherent credit risks associated with the loan portfolio. Management attempts to control and
balance those risks with the rewards associated with higher returns.

Loans outstanding averaged $664.1 million in 2006 compared to $547.4
million in 2005 and $464.8 million in 2004. At December 31, 2006, loans totaled $750.0 million compared to $601.2 million at December 31, 2005, an increase of $148.8 million (24.8%). This compares to growth in 2005 of $107.0 million
(21.7%) and loans outstanding of $494.2 million at December 31, 2004.

The Company continues to experience significant increases
in loan volumes and balances. The increases are attributable to a stable local economy and the desire of a segment of the community to do business with a locally-owned and operated financial institution. Commercial real estate loans increased $41.6
million in 2006. Construction and development loans increased $82.0 million from year end 2005. Average loans as a percentage of average interest-earning assets and average total assets were 74.5% and 69.8%, respectively, in 2006. This compares to
average loans as a percentage of average interest-earning assets and average total assets of 74.3% and 69.7%, respectively, in 2005.

The
following table sets forth the composition of the Companys loan portfolio as of December 31 for the past five years. The Companys loan portfolio does not contain any concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which are not
otherwise disclosed as a category of loans in this table. The Company has not invested in loans to finance highly-leveraged transactions (HLT), such as leveraged buy-out transactions, as defined by the Federal Reserve and other
regulatory agencies. Loans made by a bank for re-capitalization or acquisitions (including acquisitions by management or employees) which result in a material change in the borrowers financial structure to a highly-leveraged condition are
considered HLT loans. The Company had no foreign loans or loans to lesser-developed countries as of December 31 of any of the years presented.

Non-Performing Assets

As a result of managements ongoing review of the loan portfolio, loans are classified as nonaccrual when it is not reasonable to expect collections of interest and principal under the original terms, generally
when a loan becomes 90 days or more past due. These loans are classified as nonaccrual, even though the presence of collateral or the borrowers financial strength may be sufficient to provide for ultimate repayment. When a loan is placed on
nonaccrual, the interest which has been accrued but remains unpaid is reversed and deducted from current period interest income. No additional interest is accrued and recognized as income on the loan balance until the collection of both principal
and interest becomes reasonably certain. Also, there may be write downs, and ultimately, the total charge-off of the principal balance of the loan, which could necessitate additional charges to earnings through the provision for loan losses.

If nonaccruing loans had been accruing interest under their original terms, approximately $118,000 in 2006, $204,000 in 2005 and $166,000
in 2004 would have been recognized as earnings.

The Company accounts for impaired loans under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114 Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan as amended by SFAS No. 118 Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures, which requires
that the Company identify impaired loans and evaluate the collectibility of both contractual interest and principal of loans when assessing the need for a loss allowance. The provisions of SFAS No. 114 do not apply to large pools of smaller
balance homogeneous loans which are collectively evaluated for impairment, loans that are measured at fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value, and debt securities. A loan is considered impaired, when based upon current information and
events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the note agreement. All loans determined to be impaired are placed on nonaccrual. The amount of the impairment is measured based
on the present value of future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate or, if the loan is collateral dependent or foreclosure is probable, the fair value of collateral, less estimated selling expenses. Regulatory guidance is
also considered. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had impaired loans of $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

Non-performing loans are defined as nonaccrual and renegotiated loans. When other real estate owned is
included with non-performing loans, the result is non-performing assets. The following table, Non-Performing Assets, presents information on these assets and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest as of
December 31, for the past five years. Non-performing assets were $2.4 million at December 31, 2006 or 0.31% of total loans and other real estate owned. This compares to $4.0 million or 0.67% of total loans and other real estate owned at
December 31, 2005.

Significant changes in nonaccrual loans during 2006 include a $653,000 decrease in non-performing assets with
balances less than $100,000, a $1.4 million decrease for two customers from a combination of collateral sale and charge-off, a $254,000 decrease for one customer removed from nonaccrual status, and an increase of $825,000 for two customers added to
nonaccrual status. The level of nonaccrual loans was up in 2005 primarily due to $1.5 million in loans for three customers who had filed bankruptcy.

At December 31, 2006, there were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. At December 31, 2005 and 2004 there were loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing of $1,000 and $29,000,
respectively. All loans past due 90 days or more are classified as nonaccrual loans unless the loan officer believes that both principal and interest are collectible, in which case the loan continues to accrue interest.

Management is not aware of any loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful,
substandard, or special mention that have not been identified which (1) represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources, or
(2) represent material credits about which management is aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is party to lines of credit with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Lines of credit are unfunded commitments to extend credit. These
instruments involve, in varying degrees, exposure to credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements. The Companys exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the
financial instrument for unfunded commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it
does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Unfunded commitments to extend credit where contractual amounts represent potential credit risk
totaled $202.6 million and $204.4 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These commitments are primarily at variable interest rates.

The Companys commitments are funded through internal funding sources of scheduled repayments of loans and sales and maturities of investment securities available for sale or external funding sources through
acceptance of deposits from customers or borrowings from other financial institutions.

The following table is a summary of the
Companys commitments to extend credit, commitments under contractual leases as well as the Company contractual obligations, consisting of deposits, FHLB advances and borrowed funds by contractual maturity date.

Although management regularly monitors the balance of outstanding commitments to fund loans to
ensure funding availability should the need arise, management believes that the risk of all customers fully drawing on all these lines of credit at the same time is remote.

Investment Securities

The Companys investment securities portfolio increased $778,000 to $202.1 million at year-end 2006 from 2005. The Company maintains an investment strategy of seeking portfolio yields within acceptable risk
levels, as well as providing liquidity. The Company maintains two classifications of investments: Held to Maturity and Available for Sale. Available for Sale securities are carried at fair market value with
related unrealized gains or losses included in stockholders equity as accumulated other comprehensive income, whereas the Held to Maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. As a consequence, with a higher percentage of
securities being placed in the Available for Sale category, the Companys stockholders equity is more volatile than it would be if a larger percentage of investment securities were placed in the Held to Maturity
category. Although equity is more volatile, management has discretion, with respect to the Available for Sale securities, to proactively adjust to favorable market conditions in order to provide liquidity and realize gains on the sales
of securities. The changes in values in the investment securities portfolio are not taken into account in determining regulatory capital requirements. As of December 31, 2006, except for the U.S. Government agencies, there was no issuer who
represented 10% or more of stockholders equity within the investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the estimated fair value of investment securities as a percentage of their amortized cost was 98.8% and 98.4%, respectively.
At December 31, 2006, the investment securities portfolio had gross unrealized gains of $856,000 and gross unrealized losses of $3,256,000, for a net unrealized loss of $2,400,000. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the investment
securities portfolio had net unrealized losses of $3,302,000 and net unrealized gains of $769,000, respectively. The following table presents the amortized cost of investment securities held by the Company at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Asset/Liability Management, Interest Rate Sensitivity and Liquidity

General. It is the objective of the Company to manage assets and liabilities to preserve the integrity and safety of the deposit and capital base
of the Company by protecting the Company from undue exposure to poor asset quality and interest rate risk. Additionally, the Company pursues a consistent level of earnings as further protection for the depositors and to provide an appropriate return
to stockholders on their investment.

These objectives are achieved through compliance with an established framework of asset/liability,
interest rate risk, loan, investment, and capital policies. Management is responsible for monitoring policies and procedures that result in proper management of the components of the asset/liability function to achieve stated objectives. The
Companys philosophy is to support quality asset growth primarily through growth of core deposits, which include non-volatile deposits of individuals, partnerships and corporations. Management seeks to invest the largest portion of the
Companys assets in loans that meet the Companys quality standards. Alternative investments are made in the investment portfolio. The Companys asset/liability function and related components of liquidity and interest rate risk are
monitored on a continuous basis by management. The Board of Directors reviews and monitors these functions on a monthly basis.

Interest
Rate Sensitivity. The process of asset/liability management involves monitoring the Companys balance sheet in order to determine the potential impact that changes in the interest rate environment would have on net interest income so that
the appropriate strategies to minimize any negative impact can be implemented. The primary objective of asset/liability management is to continue the steady growth of net interest income, the Companys primary earnings component within a
context of liquidity requirements.

In theory, interest rate risk can be minimized by maintaining a nominal level of interest rate
sensitivity. In practice, however, this is made difficult because of uncontrollable influences on the Companys balance sheet, including variations in both loan demand and the availability of funding sources.

The measurement of the Companys interest rate sensitivity is one of the primary techniques employed by the Company in asset/liability management.
The dollar difference between assets and liabilities which are subject to interest rate repricing within a given time period, including both floating rate or adjustable instruments and instruments which are approaching maturity, determine the
interest sensitivity gap.

The Company manages its sensitivity to interest rate movements by adjusting the maturity of, and establishing
rates on, the interest-earning asset portfolio and interest-bearing liabilities in line with managements expectations relative to market interest rates. The Company would generally benefit from increasing market interest rates when the balance
sheet is asset sensitive and would benefit from decreasing market rates when it is liability sensitive. At December 31, 2006, the Companys interest rate sensitivity position was liability sensitive within the one-year horizon.

The following table Interest Sensitivity Analysis details the interest rate sensitivity of the Company at December 31, 2006. The
principal balances of the various interest-earning and interest-bearing balance sheet instruments are shown in the time period where they are first subject to repricing, whether as a result of floating or adjustable rate contracts. Fixed rate time
deposits are presented

according to their contractual maturity while variable rate time deposits reprice with the prime rate and are presented in the within three months time
frame. Prime savings accounts reprice at managements discretion when prime is below 5% and at 50% of the prime rate when prime is greater than 5%. In the table presented below, prime savings reprices in the within three months time frame.
Regular savings, money management and NOW accounts do not have a contractual maturity date and are presented as repricing at the earliest date in which the deposit holder could withdraw the funds. All other borrowings are shown in the first period
in which they could reprice. In the one-year time period, the pricing mismatch on a cumulative basis was liability sensitive $132.8 million or 13.7% of total interest-earning assets. Management has procedures in place to carefully monitor the
Companys interest rate sensitivity as the rate environment changes. It should also be noted that all interest rates do not adjust at the same velocity. As an example, the majority of the savings category listed below is priced on an adjustable
basis. When prime is greater than 5%, it is fifty percent of the prime rate. Therefore, as the prime rate adjusts 100 basis points, the rate on this liability only adjusts 50 basis points. Moreover, varying interest rate environments can create
unexpected changes in prepayment levels of assets and liabilities. Investments prepayments are reflected at their current prepayment speeds in the interest sensitivity analysis report. No other prepayments are reflected in the following interest
sensitivity analysis report. Prepayments may have significant effects on the Companys net interest margin. Hence, gap is only a general indicator of interest rate sensitivity and cannot be interpreted as an absolute measurement of the
Companys interest rate risk.

Liquidity

Management of the Companys liquidity position is closely related to the process of asset/liability management. Liquidity represents the ability to provide steady sources of funds for loan commitments and
investment activities, as well as to provide sufficient funds to cover deposit withdrawals and payment of debt and operating obligations. The Company intends to meet its liquidity needs by managing cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and
purchased, maturity of investment securities, principal repayments received from mortgage-backed securities and lines of credit as necessary. GB&T maintains a line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank at 10% of GB&Ts total assets.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances are collateralized by eligible first mortgages, commercial

real estate loans and investment securities. GB&T maintains repurchase lines of credit with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Atlanta, Georgia, for advances up
to $20.0 million and with The Bankers Bank, Atlanta, Georgia, for advances up to $10.0 million. At December 31, 2006, a $10.0 million repurchase agreement was outstanding with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey. GB&T has a federal funds purchased
accommodation with The Bankers Bank, Atlanta, Georgia, for advances up to $16.7 million and with SunTrust Bank, Atlanta, Georgia, for advances up to $10.0 million, while SB&T has a federal funds purchased accommodation with The Bankers Bank,
Atlanta, Georgia, for advances up to $3.3 million. Additionally, liquidity needs can be satisfied by the structuring of the maturities of investment securities and the pricing and maturities on loans and deposits offered to customers. The Company
also uses retail securities sold under repurchase agreements to fund growth. Retail securities sold under repurchase agreements were $60.0 million at December 31, 2006.

Deposits

The Companys average deposits and other borrowings increased $155.8 million or 21.7%
from 2005 to 2006. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $142.9 million or 22.8% while average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $13.0 million or 14.5% from 2005 to 2006. Average deposits and borrowings increased $104.6 million or
17.1% from 2004 to 2005. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $94.3 million or 17.7% from 2004 to 2005, while average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $10.3 million or 13.1% during the same period. The majority of the growth in
deposits reflects the Companys strategy of consistently emphasizing deposit growth, as deposits are the primary source of funding for balance sheet growth. Borrowed funds consist of short-term borrowings, securities sold under agreements to
repurchase with the Companys commercial customers and reverse repurchase agreements with SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, federal funds purchased, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Brokered certificates of deposit included in time
deposits over $100,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were $67.4 million and $40.4 million, respectively.

This table indicates that the majority of time deposits of $100,000 or more have a maturity of
less than twelve months. This is reflective of both the Companys market and recent interest rate environments. Large time deposit customers tend to be extremely rate sensitive, making these deposits a volatile source of funding for liquidity
planning purposes. However, dependent upon pricing, these deposits are virtually always available in the Companys market. At December 31, 2006, the Company had $38.1 million of brokered certificates of deposit that mature after 12 months.
The Company does not have any time deposits of $100,000 or more that are not certificates of deposit.

Capital

Total stockholders equity was $78.9 million at December 31, 2006, increasing $15.3 million or 24.1% from the previous year. The increase was primarily the combination of retained earnings, earnings less dividends paid, in the
amount of $9.2 million, proceeds of $5.0 million from a private placement stock offering held during the third quarter of 2006 and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $624,000. The increase in accumulated other comprehensive
income represents a decrease in unrealized losses in the available for sale investment portfolio. The Company purchased 1,600 shares of treasury stock in 2006, and 2,200 shares in 2004 at a cost of $62,000 for each, which is shown as a reduction of
stockholders equity. The Company issued 800 shares of treasury stock in 2006, 21,400 shares in 2005, and 6,000 shares in 2004 at a price of $31,000, $263,000 and $72,000, respectively, for stock options which were exercised. The Company issued
300 shares of treasury stock as part of the private placement offering at a price of $14,000 in 2006.

The Companys average equity to
average total assets was 7.29% in 2006 compared to 7.85% in 2005 and 8.33% in 2004. The decrease in all three periods reflects the overall growth of the Company. Capital is considered to be adequate to meet present operating needs and anticipated
future operating requirements. Management is not aware of any trends, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Companys capital resources or operations. The following table presents the return on
equity and assets for the years 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.9 million in 2006, an increase of $14.7 million from 2005. Cash provided by proceeds from sales of real
estate loans was the main contributor with an increase of $15.0 million in 2006 primarily the result of higher volumes of real estate loans originated and sold in the secondary market. Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.1 million in
2005, a decrease of $4.7 million from 2004. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower volumes of real estate loans originated and sold in the secondary market. In 2005, cash provided by proceeds from sales of real estate loans decreased $17.5
million and was somewhat offset by a decrease of $10.2 million in cash used for real estate loans originated for sale.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $5.7 million in 2006 to $164.0 million. Loan growth of
$148.7 million caused an increase in cash used of $56.8 million for 2006 and the purchase of Bank-owned life insurance caused an increase of $3.5 million. These increases were somewhat offset by decreases in cash used of $53.6 million for net
changes in the investment securities portfolio. Net cash used in investing activities increased $89.9 million in 2005 to $158.3 million. Net changes in the investment securities portfolio resulted in a $53.1 million increase in cash used. Loan
growth of $100.6 million caused an increase in cash used of $38.6 million for 2005.

Net cash provided by financing activities in 2006 was
$161.5 million, an increase of $12.8 million from 2005. Deposit accounts provided cash flows of $138.1 million in 2006, an increase of $31.2 million over 2005. A private placement stock offering provided $5.0 million in cash flows compared to no
stock issuance in 2005. Cash provided by federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements decreased $19.4 million in 2006. Repayments of advances from Federal Home Loan Bank increased $6.0 million in 2006, partially offset by
increases in new advances of $2.0 million in 2006 compared to 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities in 2005 was $148.7 million, an increase of $80.9 million from 2004. Net cash provided by changes in deposits accounts increased $34.0
million in 2005 to $106.9 million. Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements provided cash flows of $22.4 million in 2005, an increase of $34.8 million over 2004. Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank increased $7.0
million in 2005, partially offset by repayments of $5.0 million in 2005 compared to no repayments in 2004. A new issuance of subordinated debentures provided $10.0 million in cash flows in 2005.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Company may from time
to time make written or oral forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) and its reports to shareholders. Statements made in such
documents, other than those concerning historical information, should be considered forward-looking and subject to various risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are made based upon managements belief as well as assumptions
made by, and information currently available to, management pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Companys actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated
in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including unanticipated changes in the Companys local economy, the national economy, governmental monetary and fiscal policies, deposit levels, loan demand, loan collateral values and
securities portfolio values; difficulties in interest rate risk management; the effects of competition in the banking business; difficulties in expanding the Companys business into new markets; changes in governmental regulation relating to
the banking industry, including regulations relating to branching and acquisitions; failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for loan losses, including the value of collateral underlying delinquent loans; and other factors.
The Company cautions that such factors are not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by, or on behalf of, the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, the Company has recorded stock-based
employee compensation cost using the fair value method starting in 2006. For 2006, adopting this standard resulted in a reduction of income before and

after income taxes of $415,290 and a decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share of $.07 each. All stock options issued are incentive stock options and
therefore, no tax benefit is realized. Stock option expense includes $138,000 related to the accelerated stock option vesting period for two key employees.

Prior to January 1, 2006, employee compensation expense under stock options was reported using the intrinsic value method; therefore, no stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income for the years
ending December 31, 2005 and 2004, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year
Financial Statements (SAB 108),which is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. SAB 108 provides guidance on how the effects of prior-year uncorrected financial statement misstatements should be considered in
quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 requires public companies to quantify misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) and balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstatement
that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. If prior year errors that had been previously considered immaterial now are considered material based on either approach, no restatement is required so long as
management properly applied its previous approach and all relevant facts and circumstances were considered. Adjustments considered immaterial in prior years under the method previously used, but now considered material under the dual approach
required by SAB 108, are to be recorded upon initial adoption of SAB 108. The amount so recorded is shown as a cumulative effect adjustment is recorded in opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2006. Included in this cumulative effect
adjustment are the following items and amounts: The allowance for loan loss was decreased $694,000 to adjust for over-accrual of estimated losses on unfunded lines and commitments and standby letters of credit. This reduction also resulted in a
$269,235 decrease in the deferred income tax asset account and a $424,765 increase in retained earnings. Accrued income taxes were decreased by $369,726 to eliminate a tax contingency reserve due to an assumption of taxability of certain federal
agency interest for state purposes, subsequently determined to be nontaxable. The reduction in accrued income taxes resulted in an increase in retained earnings of $369,726. Both of these amounts had been recorded in immaterial amounts over the
preceding six to seven years.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions
about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this
standard.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a
material effect on the financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-5, Accounting for
Purchases of Life Insurance - Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance).This issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms
of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same
time, that the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the issue discusses whether the cash surrender value should be discounted when the policyholder is contractually
limited in its ability to surrender a policy. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of this issue will have a material impact on the financial statements.

The Company does not expect that the following newly issued accounting standards will have a material effect on the financial statements
when adopted in future years. In general, these standards revise the accounting for derivatives embedded in other financial instruments for 2007, revise the recognition and accounting for servicing of financial assets for 2007, and revise the
accrual of post-retirement benefits associated with providing split-dollar life insurance for 2008. The Company did not have any of these assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2006.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

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

Various information shown elsewhere herein will assist in the understanding of how well the Company is positioned to
react to changing interest rates and inflationary trends. In particular, the summary of net interest income, the maturity distributions and compositions of the loan and security portfolios and the data on the interest sensitivity of loans and
deposits should be considered.

|Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

Market risk reflects the risk of loss due to changes in the market prices and interest rates. This loss could be reflected in diminished current market values or reduced net interest income in future periods.

The Companys market risk arises primarily from the interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit activities. This risk is managed
primarily by careful periodic analysis and modeling of the various components of the entire balance sheet. The investment portfolio is utilized to assist in minimizing interest rate risk in both loans and deposits due to the flexibility afforded in
structuring the investment portfolio with regards to various maturities, cash flows and fixed or variable rates.

The following tables
present all rate sensitive assets and liabilities by contractual amounts and maturity dates. Cash flows from mortgage backed securities reflect anticipated prepayments. For core deposits, without a contractual maturity date, cash flows are based on
the earliest date at which the deposit holder could withdraw the funds. The fair value of rate sensitive assets and liabilities is presented in total. The fair value of investment securities is based on quoted market prices, where available. If
quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The fair value of loans is calculated using discounted cash flows by loan type. The discount rate used to determine the present value of
the loan portfolio is an estimated market rate that reflects the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan portfolio. Fair values for certificates of deposit have been determined using discounted cash flows. The discount rate used is based
on estimated market rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of all other deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements and variable interest rate borrowings approximated their fair values. The fair value of
the Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings is obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank and is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows using an estimated interest rate based on the current rates available to the Company for debt of similar
remaining maturities and collateral terms.

Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation

We have audited the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets of Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders equity and comprehensive income, and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
audits. The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004, were audited by other auditors whose report dated March 14, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted Staff Accounting Bulleting 108 Considering the Effect of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the
Current Year Financial Statements and accordingly adjusted assets and liabilities at the beginning of 2006 with an offsetting adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, using the modified prospective transition method as of
January 1, 2006 and accordingly has recorded stock-based employee compensation cost using the fair value method.

We also have audited, in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Southeastern Bank Financial Corporations internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 14, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

|(1) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|--- | ------------------------------------------

Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the Company), consisting of Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation (the Parent), Georgia Bank & Trust Company of Augusta, Georgia (the Bank),
and Southern Bank and Trust Company of Aiken, South Carolina (the Thrift) offer a wide range of lending services, including real estate, commercial, and consumer loans to individuals and small to medium-sized businesses and professionals that are
located in, or conduct a substantial portion of their business in, the Richmond, Columbia, and Clarke Counties area of Georgia, and Aiken County, South Carolina. The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions and is also
subject to the regulations of certain Federal and state agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

The
accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a description of the more significant of
those policies the Company follows in preparing and presenting its consolidated financial statements.



| | (a) | Basis of Presentation
| | --- | ---------------------

The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Georgia Bank & Trust Company of Augusta, Georgia, and Southern Bank and Trust Company of Aiken, South Carolina.
Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet 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.
In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

A substantial portion of the Companys loans are secured by real estate in Augusta, Georgia, and the surrounding area. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Companys loan portfolio is
susceptible to changes in real estate market conditions in the Augusta, Georgia, and surrounding area.

| | (b) | Cash and Cash Equivalents
| | --- | -------------------------

Cash and cash
equivalents include cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, and short-term interest-bearing deposits in other banks. Generally, Federal funds are sold for one-day periods. Net cash flows are reported for loan and deposit transactions and for
short term borrowings with an original maturity of 90 days or less.



| | (c) | Investment Securities
| | --- | ---------------------

The Company
classifies its investment securities into one of two categories: available for sale and held to maturity. Held to maturity securities are those securities for which the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. All
other securities are classified as available for sale.

Held to maturity securities are recorded at cost adjusted for the amortization or
accretion of premiums or discounts. Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of related tax effects, on securities available for sale are excluded from earnings and are reported within
stockholders equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized.

A decline in the fair value of
any available for sale or held to maturity security below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to earnings and the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related investment security as an adjustment to yield using a method which
approximates the effective interest method and takes into consideration prepayment assumptions. Dividends and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for investment securities available for sale which are sold are
included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of securities sold.



| | (d) | Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
| | --- | -----------------------------------

Loans
are stated at the amount of unpaid principal outstanding less unearned loan fees, reduced by an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is calculated using the simple interest method. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination
costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the straight line method without anticipating prepayments. Accrual of interest is generally discontinued on loans that become past due 90 days or more. These loans are classified as
nonaccrual, even though the presence of collateral or the borrowers financial strength may be sufficient to provide for ultimate repayment. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all previously accrued but uncollected interest is reversed
against current

period interest income. Future collections are applied first to principal and then to interest until such loans are brought current, at which time loans may
be returned to accrual status.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans
are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate
to absorb losses on existing loans that become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, historical loss rates,
overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions and trends that may affect a borrowers ability to pay. The allowance is evaluated on a regular basis utilizing estimated loss factors for specific
types of loans. Such loss factors are periodically reviewed and adjusted as necessary based on actual losses.

Management believes that the
allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as
an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Companys allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may advise the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to
them at the time of their examination.

Management, considering current information and events regarding a borrowers ability to repay
its obligations, considers a loan to be impaired if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The amount of impairment is generally measured based on the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate. If the loan is collateral-dependent, the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs is used to determine the amount of impairment.
Specific guidance from bank regulators is also considered. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for losses on loans. The accounting for impaired loans described above applies to all loans,
except for large pools of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and loans that are measured at fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value. The allowance for loan losses for loans not considered
impaired and for large pools of smaller-balance, homogeneous loans is established through consideration of such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio, overall portfolio quality, individual risk rating, adequacy of the
underlying collateral, loan concentrations, historical charge-off trends, and economic conditions that may affect the borrowers

ability to pay. Cash receipts on impaired loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are applied first to reduce the principal amount of
such loans until all contractual principal payments have been brought current.

The Company originates mortgages to be held for sale only
for loans that have been individually pre-approved by the investor. The Company bears minimal interest rate risk on these loans and only holds the loans temporarily until documentation can be completed to finalize sale to the investor. Such loans
are stated at the lower of cost or aggregate fair value. Under SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,loan commitments that relate to the origination of mortgage loans that will be held
for sale, commonly referred to as interest rate lock commitments, must be accounted for as derivatives by the issuer of the commitment. Forward sales commitments to the investor are made at the same time and have identical terms as the mortgage loan
commitments to the customers. These forward sales commitments are also derivatives. Upon closing of the loan with the customer, Georgia Bank & Trust accounts for the forward sales commitments on loans held for sale as a hedge. Once a loan
is closed with the customer, it is funded by the investor, generally within fifteen days. We have determined this hedge is effective because the gain that is unrealized, but embedded, upon closing the loan with the customer is highly correlated with
the gain realized upon funding from the investor. Fair values of these derivatives as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 were insignificant.



| | (e) | Premises and Equipment
| | --- | ----------------------

Premises and
equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to forty years. Premises and equipment and other long term
assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.



| | (f) | Other Real Estate
| | --- | -----------------

Other real estate is
carried at the lower of its cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Any excess of the loan balance at the time of foreclosure over the fair value of the collateral is treated as a loan loss and is charged against the allowance for loan
losses. A provision for estimated losses on other real estate is charged to earnings upon subsequent declines in value. Costs related to the development and improvement of property are capitalized; holding costs are charged to expense. There were no
carrying values of other real estate as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.

| | (g) | Goodwill
| | --- | --------

Goodwill results from business
acquisitions and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment and any such impairment will be
recognized in the period identified. The Companys goodwill is not considered impaired at December 31, 2006.



| | (h) | Stock-Based Compensation
| | --- | ------------------------

Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, the Company has recorded stock-based
employee compensation cost using the fair value method starting in 2006. For 2006, adopting this standard resulted in a reduction of income before and after income taxes of $415,290, a decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share of $.07 each.
All stock options issued are incentive stock options and therefore, no tax benefit is realized. Stock option expense includes $138,000 related to the accelerated stock option vesting period for two key employees.

Prior to January 1, 2006, employee compensation expense under stock options was reported using the intrinsic value method; therefore, no stock-based
compensation cost is reflected in net income for the years ending December 31, 2005 and 2004, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant.

| | (i) | Income Taxes
| | --- | ------------

The Company accounts for
income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A deferred tax valuation allowance is provided to the extent it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets
will not be realized.



| | (j) | Income Per Share
| | --- | ----------------

Basic net income per share
is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by weighted average shares outstanding plus common share equivalents resulting from
dilutive stock options, determined using the treasury stock method.

Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale which are also recognized as separate components of equity.

| | --- | -------------------

The Company has one
reportable segment, financial services. This segment provides financial services including banking, mortgage services, retail investment services and trust services through two subsidiary banks with offices located in Georgia and South Carolina.



| | (m) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements
| | --- | --------------------------------

Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), Share-based Payment. See Stock-Based Compensation above for further discussion of the effect of adopting
this standard.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,
Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108),which is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. SAB 108 provides guidance on how
the effects of prior-year uncorrected financial statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 requires public companies to quantify misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) and
balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. If prior year errors that had been previously considered
immaterial now are considered material based on either approach, no restatement is required so long as management properly applied its previous approach and all relevant facts and circumstances were considered. Adjustments considered immaterial in
prior years under the method previously used, but now considered material under the dual approach required by SAB 108, are to be recorded upon initial adoption of SAB 108. The amount so recorded is shown as a

cumulative effect adjustment is recorded in opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2006. Included in this cumulative effect adjustment are the
following items and amounts: The allowance for loan loss was decreased $694,000 to adjust for over-accrual of estimated losses on unfunded lines and commitments and standby letters of credit. This reduction also resulted in a $269,235 decrease in
the deferred income tax asset account and a $424,765 increase in retained earnings. Accrued income taxes were decreased by $369,726 to eliminate a tax contingency reserve due to an assumption of taxability of certain federal agency interest for
state purposes, subsequently determined to be nontaxable. The reduction in accrued income taxes resulted in an increase in retained earnings of $369,726. Both of these amounts had been recorded in immaterial amounts over the preceding six to seven
years.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the
effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this standard.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes  an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109 (FIN 48), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material effect on the financial
statements.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-5, Accounting for Purchases of Life
Insurance - Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance).This issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms of a life
insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same time, that
the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the issue discusses whether the cash surrender value should be discounted when the policyholder is contractually limited in
its ability to surrender a policy. This issue is effective for

fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of this issue will have a material impact on the financial
statements.

The Company does not expect that the following newly issued accounting standards will have a material effect on the financial
statements when adopted in future years. In general, these standards revise the accounting for derivatives embedded in other financial instruments for 2007, revise the recognition and accounting for servicing of financial assets for 2007, and revise
the accrual of post-retirement benefits associated with providing split-dollar life insurance for 2008. The Company did not have any of these assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2006.



| | (n) | Bank Owned Life Insurance
| | --- | -------------------------

The Company has
purchased life insurance policies on certain executives. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value or the amount that can be realized at the balance sheet date.



| | (o) | Loss Contingencies
| | --- | ------------------

Loss contingencies,
including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are reported as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are
such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.



| | (p) | Reclassifications
| | --- | -----------------

Some items in the prior
period financial statements were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.



|(2) | Cash and Due From Banks
|--- | -----------------------

The subsidiary bank is
required by the Federal Reserve Bank to maintain average daily cash balances. These required balances were $1,985,000 at December 31, 2006 and $663,000 at December 31, 2005.

At December 31, 2006, there were fourteen obligations of U.S. government agencies, fourteen
obligations of states and political subdivisions, sixteen mortgage-backed securities, and one corporate bond with an unrealized loss for less than 12 months. There were thirty-four obligations of U.S. government agencies, seventy-nine
mortgage-backed securities, three obligations of states and political subdivisions, and three trust preferred securities with an unrealized loss for longer than 12 months. The total estimated fair value of the securities with an unrealized loss at
December 31, 2006 represented 98.1% of the book value. Unrealized losses have not been recognized into income because the issuers are either obligations of the U.S. government or are of high credit quality. Also, the decline in fair value is
largely due to changes in interest rates and the fair value is expected to recover as the obligations approach maturity.

Rent expense for all building, equipment, and furniture rentals totaled $204,942, $213,534, and
$267,364 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

The Company is party to lines of credit with off-balance
sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Lines of credit are unfunded commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, in varying degrees, exposure to credit and interest rate risk in excess
of the amounts recognized in the financial statements. The Companys exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for unfunded commitments to extend credit is represented by the
contractual amount of those instruments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Unfunded commitments to extend credit where contract amounts represent potential credit risk totaled $202,627,000 and $204,422,000 at December 31,
2006 and 2005, respectively. These commitments are primarily at variable interest rates.

Lines of credit are legally binding contracts to
lend to a customer, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. These commitments have fixed termination dates and generally require payment of a fee. As commitments often expire prior to being drawn, the amounts
above do not necessarily represent the future cash requirements of the commitments. Credit worthiness is evaluated on a case by case basis, and if necessary, collateral is obtained to support the commitment.

In December 2005 the
Company issued $10,000,000 of unsecured subordinated debentures, which bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.40%, adjusted quarterly, to Southeastern Bank Financial Statutory Trust I. The Company used these funds to capitalize a new federally

accrue and pay distributions quarterly at a variable per annum rate of interest, reset quarterly, equal to LIBOR plus 1.40% of the stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per Capital Security. The Company has entered into contractual arrangements which
constitute a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis by the Company of the obligations of Southeastern Bank Financial Statutory Trust I under the Trust Preferred Securities.

The Trust Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the debentures on December 15, 2035, or upon earlier redemption as

In March 2006 the Company issued $10,000,000 of unsecured subordinated debentures, which bear

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely
than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences
become deductible. Management considers taxes paid in the carryback period, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of
historical taxable income and projection for future taxable income over the periods which the temporary differences resulting in the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the
benefits of these deductible differences.



|(11) | Related Party Transactions
|---- | --------------------------

Deposits include
accounts with certain directors and executives of the Company, including affiliates, and principal holders of the Companys securities. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, these deposits totaled approximately $26,000,000 and $16,000,000,
respectively. See note 4 for discussion of related party loans.



|(12) | Regulatory Capital Requirements
|---- | -------------------------------

The Company and
its subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the 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 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 classification 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 minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital (as defined)
to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2006, that the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be
categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the

Banks well capitalized classification.

In addition to the capital requirements disclosed in the preceding table, the FDIC requires that
the Tier 1 capital to assets leverage ratio for Southern Bank & Trust be maintained at not less than 8% throughout the first three years of operation.

Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation and Georgia Bank and Trust Company are regulated by the Department of Banking and Finance of the State of Georgia (DBF). The DBF requires that state banks in Georgia generally
maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of four and one-half percent (4.5%) for banks and four percent (4%) for holding companies. These ratios are shown in the preceding tables as Tier 1 Capital  leverage (to
average assets). The Companys ratio at 9.78% and the Banks ratio at 7.57% exceed the minimum required.

The DBF requires its
prior approval for a bank to pay dividends in excess of 50% of the preceding years earnings. Based on this limitation, the amount of cash dividends available from the Bank for payment in 2007 is approximately $6,057,000, subject to maintenance
of the minimum capital requirements.

The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) requires a three year business plan to be filed for all new
thrifts. Southern Bank and Trusts business plan does not provide for capital distributions for any of the three years. As a result, prior approval would be required from the OTS before any distributions are made.



|(13) | Employee Benefit Plans
|---- | ----------------------

The Company has an employee
savings plan (the Plan) that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Plan, participating employees may defer a portion of their pretax earnings, up to the Internal Revenue Service
annual contribution limit. The Company has the option to make discretionary payments to the Plan. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, the Company contributed $566,978, $522,903, and $533,243, respectively, to the Plan, which
is 5% of the annual salary of all eligible employees for 2006, 2005, and 2004.

In 1997, the Company established a nonqualified Long-Term Incentive Plan designed to motivate and
sustain high levels of individual performance and align the interests of key officers with those of shareholders by rewarding capital appreciation and earnings growth. Stock appreciation rights may be awarded annually to those key officers whose
performance during the year has made a significant contribution to the Companys growth. Such stock appreciation rights are granted at a strike price equal to the trading price of the Companys stock at date of grant, and are earned over a
five-year appreciation period. Officers vest in such rights over a 10-year period. The Company recognized expense of $127,624, $146,995, and $122,539 during 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively, related to this plan. The total amount accrued at
December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $127,623 and $188,625, respectively.

The Company also has salary continuation agreements in place with
certain key officers. Such agreements are structured with differing benefits based on the participants overall position and responsibility. These agreements provide the participants with a supplemental income upon retirement at age 65, additional
incentive to remain with the Company in order to receive these deferred retirement benefits and a compensation package that is competitive in the market. These agreements vest over a ten year period, require a minimum number of years service, and
contain change of control provisions. All benefits would cease in the event of termination for cause, and if the participants employment were to end due to disability, voluntary termination or termination without cause, the participant would
be entitled to receive certain reduced benefits based on vesting and other conditions. The estimated cost of an annuity to pay this obligation is being accrued over the vesting period for each officer. The Company recognized expense of $676,173,
$526,429, and $506,031 during 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively, related to these agreements. The total amount accrued at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was $2,855,103 and $2,232,930, respectively.



|(14) | Stock Option Plan
|---- | -----------------

During 2000, the Company adopted
the 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2000 Plan) which allows for stock option awards for up to 253,000 shares of the Companys common stock to employees, officers, and directors of the Company. The Company believes that such awards better
align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Under the provisions of the 2000 Plan, the option price is determined by a committee of the board of directors at the time of grant and may not be less than 100% of the fair value
of the common stock on the date of the grant of such option. Generally, when granted, these options vest over a five-year period. However, there were 10,000 options granted in 2005, that vest based on specific loan growth performance targets. All
options must be exercised within a ten-year period. As of December 31, 2006, all options under this plan had been issued.

During 2006,
the Company adopted the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan), approved by shareholders at the annual meeting, which allows for stock options awards for

up to 250,000 shares of the Companys common stock to key employees, officers, directors and independent contractors providing material services to the
Company. The purpose of the Plan is to enhance stockholder investment by attracting, retaining and motivating key employees, officers, directors and independent contractors of the Company, and to encourage stock ownership by such persons by
providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Companys success, and to align the interests of management with those of stockholders. Under the provisions of the 2006 Plan, the option price is determined by a committee of
the board of directors at the time of grant and may not be less than 100% of the fair value of the common stock on the date of the grant of such option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant
who is a Ten Percent Stockholder, the Option Price shall not be less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Date of Grant. Generally, when granted, these options vest over a five-year period.
All options must be exercised within a ten year period from the date of the grant; however, options issued to a ten percent stockholder must be exercised within a five year period from its date of grant. As of December 31, 2006, 44,834 options
had been granted under this Plan.

The Company periodically purchases treasury stock and uses it for stock option exercises, when available.
If treasury stock is not available, additional stock is issued. The Company repurchased 1,599 shares during the 2006 year.

Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-based Payment, which requires the Company to compute the fair value of options at the date of grant and to recognize such costs as compensation expense ratably over the
vesting period of the options. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recognized $415,000 as compensation expense resulting from all stock options. This expense includes $138,000 related to the accelerated stock option vesting period
for two key employees.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model that uses
the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is the measure of the amount by which the share price is expected to fluctuate during a period. The method used to calculate historical average annualized volatility is based on the
closing price of the first trade of each month. Expected dividends are based on the Companys historical pattern of dividend payments. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation
model. The risk-free rate is the U.S. Treasury note at the time of grant for the expected term of the option.

|(16) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|---- | -----------------------------------

SFAS
No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that
value. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at
one time the Companys entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a portion of the Companys financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss
experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be
determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future
business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates
and have not been considered in any of the estimates. The assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of the Companys financial instruments are explained below. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on
estimates using discounted cash flow and other valuation techniques. Discounted cash flows can be significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The following fair value estimates
cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and should not be considered representative of the liquidation value of the Companys financial instruments, but rather a good-faith estimate of the fair value of financial
instruments held by the Company. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:



| | (a) | Cash and Cash Equivalents
| | --- | -------------------------

Fair value equals
the carrying value of such assets due to their nature.



| | (b) | Investment Securities
| | --- | ---------------------

The fair value of
investment securities is based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying amount of related accrued interest receivable
approximates its fair value and is not disclosed.

| | (c) | Loans
| | --- | -----

The fair value of loans is calculated
using discounted cash flows by loan type. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the loan portfolio is an estimated market rate that reflects the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The estimated maturity
is based on the Companys historical experience with repayments adjusted to estimate the effect of current market conditions. The carrying amount of related accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value and is not disclosed. The
carrying amount of real estate loans originated for sale approximates their fair value. The allowance for loan losses is considered a reasonable discount for credit risk.



| | (d) | Deposits
| | --- | --------

Fair values for certificates of
deposit have been determined using discounted cash flows. The discount rate used is based on estimated market rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of all other deposits, due to their short-term nature, approximate
their fair values. The carrying amount of related accrued interest payable approximates its fair value and is not disclosed.



| | (e) | Federal Funds Sold and Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------

Fair value approximates the carrying value of such liabilities due to their short-term nature.



| | (f) | Other Borrowed Funds
| | --- | --------------------

Fair value
approximates the carrying value of such liabilities as the borrowings are at a variable rate of interest.



| | (g) | Advances from FHLB
| | --- | ------------------

The fair value of the
FHLB advances is obtained from the FHLB and is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows using an estimated interest rate based on the current rates available to the Company for debt of similar remaining maturities and collateral terms.



| | (h) | Subordinated debentures
| | --- | -----------------------

The fair value
approximates the carrying value of the subordinated debentures as the debentures are at a variable rate of interest.



| | (i) | Commitments
| | --- | -----------

The difference between the
carrying values and fair values of commitments to extend credit are not significant.

|Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures
|-------- | -----------------------

As of the end of the
period covered by this report, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant
to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material
information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) that is required to be included in the Companys periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There have been no significant changes in the
Companys internal controls or, to managements knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect those internal controls subsequent to the date management carried out its evaluation, and there have been no corrective actions
with respect to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.

Managements Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The management of Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, transactions are executed in accordance with
appropriate management authorization and accounting records are reliable for the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Southeastern Bank Financial
Corporations internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making our assessment, management has utilized the framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway
Commission Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Crowe Chizek and Company LLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on managements assessment, of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting, and a copy of Crowe Chizeks report is included with this report.

issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Southeastern Bank Financial Corporations management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial
reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, managements assessment that Southeastern Bank Financial Corporation maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated
