SEE NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. 5 COLONY BANKCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in Thousands) (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - ---------------------------------------------- BASIS OF PRESENTATION Colony Bankcorp, Inc. is a multi-bank holding company located in Fitzgerald, Georgia. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Bank of Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald, Georgia; Ashburn Bank, Ashburn, Georgia; Bank of Worth, Sylvester, Georgia; The Bank of Dodge County, Eastman, Georgia; Community Bank of Wilcox, Pitts, Georgia,; Colony Bank Southeast (formerly Broxton State Bank), Broxton, Georgia; and Colony Management Services, Inc., Fitzgerald, Georgia (the Banks). All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. conform to generally accepted accounting principles and practices utilized in the commercial banking industry. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans and the valuation of deferred tax assets. In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share (EPS) with basic and diluted EPS. Unlike primary EPS basic EPS excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted EPS is very similar to fully diluted EPS. All EPS amounts presented have been restated as applicable, to conform with the new requirements. INVESTMENT SECURITIES The Company records investment securities under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 115, the Company must classify its securities as trading, available for sale or held to maturity. Trading securities are purchased and held for sale in the near term. Securities held to maturity are those which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All other securities not classified as trading or held to maturity are considered available for sale. Securities available for sale are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported net of deferred taxes as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Fair value represents an approximation of realizable value as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. LOANS Loans are generally reported at principal amount less unearned interest and fees. Impaired loans are recorded under SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan and SFAS 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures. Impaired loans are loans for which principal and interest are unlikely to be collected in accordance with the original loan terms and, generally, represent loans delinquent in excess of 120 days which have been placed on nonaccrual status and for which collateral values are less than outstanding principal and interest. Small balance, homogeneous loans are excluded from impaired loans. Generally, interest payments received on impaired loans are applied to principal. Upon receipt of all loan principal, additional interest payments are recognized as interest income on the cash basis. Other nonaccrual loans are loans for which payments of principal and interest are considered doubtful of collection under original terms but collateral values equal or exceed outstanding principal and interest. 6 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Colony Bankcorp, Inc.'s loans consist of commercial, financial and agricultural loans, real estate mortgage loans and consumer loans primarily to individuals and entities located throughout central and south Georgia. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of the loans is largely dependent upon economic conditions in the central and south Georgia area. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance method is used in providing for losses on loans. Accordingly, all loan losses decrease the allowance and all recoveries increase it. The provision for loan losses is based on factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating possible loan losses. Such factors considered by management include growth and composition of the loan portfolio, economic conditions and the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans. An allowance for loan losses is maintained for all impaired loans. Provisions are made for impaired loans upon changes in expected future cash flows or estimated net realizable value of collateral. When determination is made that impaired loans are wholly or partially uncollectible, the uncollectible portion is charged off. Management believes the allowance for possible loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives and methods of depreciation are as follows:
DESCRIPTION LIFE IN YEARS METHOD ----------- ------------- ------ Banking Premises 15-40 Straight-Line and Accelerated Furniture and Equipment 5-10 Straight-Line and Accelerated
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or sold, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income or expense. CASH FLOWS For reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, noninterest-bearing amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Cash flows from demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings accounts, loans and certificates of deposit are reported net. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate primarily to depreciable assets (use of different depreciation methods for financial statement and income tax purposes) and allowance for loan losses (use of the allowance method for financial statement purposes and the experience method for tax purposes). The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. 7 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) OTHER REAL ESTATE Other real estate generally represents real estate acquired through foreclosure and is initially recorded at the lower of cost or estimated market value at the date of acquisition. Losses from the acquisitions of property in full or partial satisfaction of debt are recorded as loan losses. Subsequent declines in value, routine holding costs and gains or losses upon disposition are included in other losses.

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitment amounts expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing these financial instruments is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Banks upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and income-producing commercial properties. The Banks do not anticipate any material losses as a result of the commitments and contingent liabilities. The nature of the business of the Banks is such that it ordinarily results in a certain amount of litigation. In the opinion of management and counsel for the company and the Banks, there is no litigation in which the outcome will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. (12) REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS - ------------------------------- The amount of dividends payable to the parent company from the subsidiary banks is limited by various banking regulatory agencies. The amount of cash dividends available from subsidiaries for payment in 1998 without prior approval from the banking regulatory agencies approximates $2,017. Upon approval by regulatory authorities, the banks may pay cash dividends to the parent company in excess of regulatory limitations. The Company is 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 Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. The amounts and ratios as defined in regulations are presented hereafter. Management believes, as of March 31, 1998, the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and is classified as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. In the opinion of management, there are no conditions or events since prior notification of capital adequacy from the regulators that have changed the institution's category. 13 (12) REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS (CONTINUED) - -------------------------------------------

15 (14) COMMON STOCK SPLIT - ----------------------- On May 16, 1995, the board of directors approved a 100 percent stock split to be effected on July 1, 1995 in the form of a dividend to stockholders of record on June 30, 1995. On February 18, 1997 a 50 percent stock split effected on July 1, 1997 in the form of a dividend was approved by the board. Weighted average shares and per share data for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been retroactively restated to reflect the additional shares outstanding resulting from the stock split. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Liquidity represents the ability to provide adequate sources of funds for funding loan commitments and investment activities, as well as the ability to provide sufficient funds to cover deposit withdrawals, payment of debt and financing of operations. These funds are obtained by converting assets to cash (representing primarily proceeds from collections on loans and maturities of investment securities) or by attracting and obtaining new deposits. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company was successful in meeting its liquidity needs by increasing deposits 0.77% to $300,463,000 from deposits of $298,162,000 on December 31, 1997 and by reducing Federal Funds 8.10% to $23,470,000 from $25,540,000 on December 31, 1997. Should the need arise, the Company also maintains relationships with several correspondent banks that can provide funds on short notice. The Company's liquidity position remained acceptable for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, funds sold and investments securities) represented 30.57% of average deposits for three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 32.68% of average deposits for three months ended March 31, 1997 and 29.73% for calendar year 1997. Average loans represented 79.43% of average deposits for three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 74.92% for three months ended March 31, 1997 and 80.00% for calendar year 1997. Average interest- bearing deposits were 85.13% of average earning assets for three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 86.89% for three months ended March 31, 1997 and 84.92% for calendar year 1997. The Company satisfies most of its capital requirements through retained earnings. During the first three months of 1998, retained earnings provided $1,045,000 of increase in equity. Additionally, equity capital decreased by $18,000 during the first three months of 1998 as a result of changes in unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale, net of taxes. Additionally, the Company realized $885,000 in proceeds from the sale of common stock through a public offering that was completed during the first quarter. Thus, total equity increased by a net amount of $1,912,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998. This compares to growth in equity of $1,012,000 from retained earnings and $221,000 decrease resulting from changes in unrealized losses on securities, or total equity increase of $791,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997. Total equity increased by a net amount of $3,230,000 in 1997. At March 31, 1998, total capital of Colony amounted to approximately $30,733,000. At March 31, 1998, there was an outstanding commitment for capital expenditures of approximately $1,000,000 for construction and furnishings for two branch offices to be located in Douglas and Leesburg, Georgia. The Federal Reserve Bank Board and the FDIC have issued capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations. The objective of these efforts was to provide a more uniform capital framework that is sensitive to differences in risk assets among banking organizations. The guidelines define a two-tier capital framework. Tier 1 capital consists of common stock and qualifying preferred stockholder's equity less goodwill. Tier 2 capital consists of certain convertible, 16 subordinated and other qualifying term debt and the allowance for loan losses up to 1.25 percent of risk-weighted assets. The Company has no Tier 2 capital other than the allowance for loan losses. Using the capital requirements presently in effect, the Tier 1 ratio at March 31, 1998 was 12.01% and total Tier 1 and 2 risk-based capital was 13.26%. Both of these measures compare favorably with the regulatory minimums of 4% for Tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital. The Company's leverage ratio at March 31, 1998 was 8.91% which exceeds the required leverage ratio standard of 4%. For the first quarter of 1998, the Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.055 per share. The dividend payout ratio, defined as dividends per share divided by net income per share, was 10.38% for three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $0.05 quarterly dividends for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and a dividend payout ratio of 9.62%. At March 31, 1998, management was not aware of any recommendations by regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a material effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations. However, it is possible that examinations by regulatory authorities in the future could precipitate additional loan charge-offs which could materially impact the Company's liquidity, capital resources and operations. RESULTS OF OPERATION The Company's results of operations are determined by its ability to effectively manage interest income and expense, to minimize loan and investment losses, to generate noninterest income and to control noninterest expense. Since interest rates are determined by market forces and economic conditions beyond the control of the Company, the ability to generate net interest income is dependent upon the Bank's ability to obtain an adequate spread between the rate earned on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Thus, the key performance measure for net interest income is the interest margin or net yield, which is taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets. NET INCOME - ---------- Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $1,167,000 as compared to $1,121,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, or an increase of 4.10%. First quarter 1998 earnings were relatively stable compared to first quarter 1997. NET INTEREST MARGIN - ------------------- The net interest margin decreased by 15 basis points to 4.87% in first quarter 1998 as compared to 5.02% in first quarter 1997. This decrease in our net interest margin was offset by an increase in average earnings assets as the net interest income increased by 3.95% to $3,791,000 in first quarter 1998 from $3,647,000 for the same period in 1997. Average earning assets increased to $316,121,000 in first quarter 1998 from $293,697,000 in first quarter 1997. Average loans increased by $24,742,000 or 11.72%, average investment securities decreased by $8,508,000 or 14.94%, average Federal funds increased by $5,268,000 or 32.67% and average interest bearing deposits in other banks increased by $922,000 or 95.05%, resulting in a net increase in average earning assets of $22,424,000. The net increase in average earning assets was funded by a net increase in average deposits of 5.38% to $297,006,000 for first quarter 1998 from $281,835,000 for first quarter 1997. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by 5.52% to $269,183,000 at March 31, 1998 compared to $255,105,000 at March 31, 1997, while average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 9.49% of average total deposits at March 31, 1998 compared to 9.45% at March 31, 1997 and 9.46% for calendar year 1997. Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 1998 by $381,000 compared to the same period in 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in average interest-bearing deposits to $269,183,000 at March 31, 1998 compared to $255,105,00 at March 31, 1997. The combination of the increased average earnings assets, increased average interest-bearing deposits and decreased net interest margin resulted in an increase of net interest income of $144,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. 17 PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES - ------------------------- The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for potential losses in the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated periodically based on a review of all significant loans, with a particular emphasis on non-accruing, past due and other loans that management believes requires attention. The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings in the current period to replenish the allowance for loan losses and maintain it at a level management had determined to be adequate. The provision for loan losses was $279,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $285,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, representing a decrease in the provision of $6,000 or 2.10%. The decrease in the provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 1998 was attributable to a leveling off of problem loans and an adequate build-up in the loan loss reserve for any future losses. Net loan charge-offs represented 40.14% of the provision for loan losses in the first quarter 1998 as compared to 52.63% in the first quarter of 1997. Net loan charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were 0.05% of average loans, down from 0.07% for the same period last year, reflecting the continuing emphasis by management on high credit quality and credit management. At March 31, 1998 the allowance for loan losses was 2.00% to total loans outstanding as compared to an allowance for loan losses of 2.09% at March 31, 1997 and 1.95% at December 31, 1997. The allowance for loan losses of 2.00% of total loans provided coverage of 63.80% of nonperforming loans and 57.32% of nonperforming assets, compared to 66.62% and 54.82% in the first quarter of 1997, respectively. The determination of the reserve rests upon management's judgment about factors affecting loan quality and assumptions about the economy. Management considers the March 31, 1998 allowance for loan losses adequate to cover potential losses in the loan portfolio. NONINTEREST INCOME - ------------------ Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges on deposit accounts. Service charges on deposit accounts amounted to $477,000 in first quarter 1998 as compared to $455,000 in first quarter 1997, or an increase of 4.84%. All other noninterest income decreased by $69,000 to $170,000 for first quarter 1998 from $239,000 for first quarter, 1997. There were no significant variances in other noninterest income for the two periods. NONINTEREST EXPENSE - ------------------- Noninterest expense increased by 1.08% to $2,443,000 in three months ended March 31, 1998 from $2,417,000 for the same period in 1997. Salaries and benefits were flat as the three months ended March 31, 1998 amounted to $1,262,00 compared to $1,266,000 for the same period in 1997. Due to an additional facility and furnishings, occupancy expenses increased by 18.69% to $400,000 for first quarter 1998 compared to $337,000 for first quarter 1997. All other noninterest expenses decreased by $33,000 to $781,000 for first quarter 1998 from $814,000 for first quarter 1997. There were no significant variances in other noninterest expense for the two periods. INCOME TAX EXPENSE - ------------------ Income before taxes increased by $77,000 to $1,716,000 in first quarter 1998 from $1,639,000 in first quarter 1997. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 1998 is primarily attributable to the increased net interest income. Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes increased by 1.23% to 31.99% in first quarter 1998 as compared to 31.60% in first quarter 1997 due to increased net interest income. Income tax expense increased 5.98% to $549,000 for first quarter 1998 as compared to $518,000 in first quarter 1997. FUTURE OUTLOOK - -------------- Colony is an emerging company operating in an industry filled with non-regulated competitors and a rapid pace of consolidation. 1998 brings with it new opportunities for growth in our existing markets, as well as opportunities to expand into new markets through bank acquisitions and branching. Colony has targeted new branches in three growth markets in South Georgia for 1998. These new branches will be located in Douglas, Tifton and Leesburg. 18 Colony Management Services, Inc. has invested over $1,000,000 in computer up- grades and software enhancements in a major cost containment initiative. Not only will this reduce overhead through back-office consolidation, but it also will allow us to better serve our customers through improved customer data resources and state-of-the art technological services. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE - -------------------- The Company has developed preliminary plans to address the possible exposure related to the impact on its financial, informational and operational systems of the Year 2000. The Company recently underwent a major computer conversion, which has been tested and assured to be Year 2000 compliant. Other equipment has been identified and vendors are being contracted. The Company's subsidiary, Colony Management Services, Inc., is responsible for coordinating efforts of all bank subsidiaries in any follow up procedures necessary. While there may be some expenses incurred during the next two years, it is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. LIQUIDITY - --------- The Company's goals with respect to liquidity are to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet current operating requirements, to provide reserves against unforeseen liquidity requirements. Management continuously reviews the Company's liquidity position, which is maintained on a basis consistent with established internal guidelines and the tests and reviews of the various regulatory authorities. The Company's primary liquidity sources at March 31, 1998 included cash, due from banks, federal funds and short-term investment securities. The Company also has the ability, on a short-term basis, to borrow funds from the Federal Reserve System and to invest in federal funds sold from other financial institutions. The mix of asset maturities contributes to the company's overall liquidity position. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS - -------------------- In the normal course of business, officers and directors of the Banks, and certain business organizations and individuals associated with them, maintain a variety of banking relationships with the bank. Transactions with senior officers and directors are made on terms comparable to those available to other bank customers. 19 BUSINESS GENERAL - ------- The Company was organized in 1983 as a bank holding company through the merger of The Bank of Fitzgerald with a subsidiary of the Company.
