The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 6 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 foreclosure 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, 1999 and December 31, 1998. 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. 7 (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 individual's 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 accumulate 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. 8 (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. Comprehensive Income In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, and earlier application encouraged. Upon adoption, comparative statements for prior years must be reclassified. SFAS 130 has been applied to the financial statements of all years presented herein. Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, represent equity changes from economic events of the period other than transactions with owners and are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Such items are considered components of other comprehensive income. The purpose of SFAS 130 is to present in the financial statements net income and all items of other comprehensive income as total comprehensive income. The adoption of SFAS 130 had no effect on Colony Bankcorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries' consolidated net income or stockholders' equity.

The debt is secured by commercial real estate in downtown Fitzgerald, which includes the parent company's facilities. Any unpaid balance is due January 29, 2000. The Bankers Bank note payable originated on September 5, 1997 for $1,000 at a rate of The Wall Street Prime minus one half percent. Payments are due monthly with the entire unpaid balance due September 5, 2002. The debt is secured by all furniture, fixtures, machinery, equipment and software of Colony Management Services, Inc. Colony Bankcorp, Inc. guarantees the debt. The aggregate stated maturities of other borrowed money at March 31, 1999 are as follows:
Year Amount ---- ------ 1999 $ 812 2000 1,117 2001 443 2002 2,153 2003 and Thereafter 9,000 ------- $13,525 =======
(10) Profit Sharing Plan - --- ------------------- The Company has a profit sharing plan that covers substantially all employees who meet certain age and service requirements. It is the Company's policy to make contributions to the plan as approved annually by the board of directors. The total provision for contributions to the plan was $264,222 for 1998. 13 (11) Commitments and Contingencies - ---- ----------------------------- In the normal course of business, certain commitments and contingencies are incurred which are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The Bank had commitments under standby letters of credit to U.S. addresses approximating $1,303 as of March 31, 1999 and $1,346 as of December 31, 1998. Unfulfilled loan commitments as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 approximated $40,720 and $35,980 respectively. No losses are anticipated as a result of commitments and contingencies. 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 statement. (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 1999 without prior approval from the banking regulatory agencies approximates $2,127. 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 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, 1999, 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. 14 (12) Regulatory Capital Matters (continued) - ---- --------------------------------------

(14) Common Stock Split - ---- ------------------ On February 16, 1999, the board of directors approved a 100 percent stock split to be effected on March 31, 1999 in the form of a dividend to stockholders of record on March 31, 1999. 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. 17 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, 1999, the Company was successful in meeting its liquidity needs by increasing deposits 2.23% to $338,137,000 from deposits of $330,746,000 on December 31, 1998 and by reducing Federal Funds 68.95% to $8,630,000 from $27,795,000 on December 31, 1998. 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, 1999. Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, funds sold and investment securities) represented 33.27% of average deposits for three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to 30.57% of average deposits for three months ended March 31, 1998 and 30.24% of average deposits for calendar year 1998. Average loans represented 76.99% of average deposits for three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to 79.43% for three months ended March 31, 1998 and 80.60% for calendar year 1998. Average interest-bearing deposits were 85.41% of average earning assets for three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to 85.13% for three months ended March 31, 1998 and 85.08% for calendar year 1998. The Company satisfies most of its capital requirements through retained earnings. During the first three months of 1999, retained earnings provided $903,000 of increase in equity. Additionally, equity capital decreased by $246,000 during the first three months of 1999 as a result of changes in unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale, net of taxes. Thus total equity increased by a net amount of $657,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1999. This compares to growth in equity of $1,045,000 from retained earnings, $885,000 increase in proceeds from the sale of common stock and $18,000 decrease resulting from changes in unrealized losses on securities, or total equity increase of $1,912,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Total equity increased by a net amount of $4,276,000 for calendar year 1998. At March 31, 1999, total capital of Colony amounted to approximately $33,753,000. At March 31, 1999, there was an outstanding commitment for capital expenditures of approximately $1,000,000 for construction and furnishings for a new branch office to be located in Cordele, 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 stockholders' equity less goodwill. Tier 2 capital consists of convertible, 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, 1999 was 11.72% and total Tier 1 and 2 risk-based capital was 12.97%. 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 as of March 31, 1999 was 8.70% which exceeds the required leverage ratio standard of 4%. For the first quarter of 1999, the Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.03 per share. The dividend payout ratio, defined as dividends per share divided by net income per share, was 13.04% for three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $0.0275 quarterly dividends for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and a dividend payout ratio of 10.38%. At March 31, 1999, 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 of 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. 18 RESULTS OF OPERATION The Company's results of operations are determined by its ability to effectively manage interest income and expenses, 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, 1999 was $1,036,000 as compared with $1,167,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, or a decrease of 11.23%. This decrease is primarily attributable to the additional overhead associated with the three new offices opened during the second half of 1998. Though these offices have temporarily depressed earnings compared to last year, they are also largely responsible for Colony's excellent growth as they have provided approximately $33 million of the $44 million asset growth from a year ago. Additionally, net income was impacted by a decrease of 65 basis points with the net interest margin. Net Interest Margin - ------------------- The net interest margin decreased by 65 basis points to 4.22% in first quarter 1999 as compared to 4.87% in first quarter 1998. This decrease in our net interest margin was partially offset by an increase in average earning assets as the net interest income decreased by 2.53% to $3,695,000 in first quarter 1999 from $3,791,000 for the same period in 1998. Average earning assets increased to $356,892,000 in first quarter 1999 from $316,121,000 in first quarter 1998. Average loans increased by $21,839,000 or 9.26%, average investment securities increased by $16,215,000 or 28.42%, average Federal funds decreased by $5,426,000 or 25.36% and average interest-bearing deposits in other banks increased by $8,143,000 or 460.32%, resulting in a net increase in average earning assets of $40,771,000 or 12.90%. The net increase in average earnings assets was funded by a net increase in average deposits of 2.23% to $338,137,000 for first quarter 1999 from $330,746,000 for first quarter 1998. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by 13.23% to $304,805,000 at March 31, 1999 compared to $269,183,000 at March 31, 1998, while average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 8.95% of average total deposits at March 31, 1999, compared to 9.49% at March 31, 1998 and 8.55% for calendar year 1998. Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 1999 by $402,000 compared to the same period in 1998. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in average interest-bearing deposits to $304,805,000 at March 31, 1999 compared to $269,183,000 at March 31, 1998. The combination of the increased average earning assets, increased average interest-bearing deposits and decreased net interest margin resulted in a decrease of net interest income of $96,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. 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 that management has determined to be adequate. The provision for loan losses was $249,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to $279,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, representing a decrease of $30,000 or 10.75%. The decrease in the provision for loan losses during the first quarter of 1999 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 25.70% of the provision for loan losses in the first quarter 1999 as compared to 40.14% in the first quarter of 1998. Net loan charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were 0.02% of average loans, down from 0.05% for the same period last year, reflecting the continuing emphasis by management on high credit quality and credit management. At March 31, 1999 the allowance for loan losses was 1.84% of total loans outstanding as compared to an allowance for loan losses of 2.00% at March 31, 1998 and 1.87% at December 31, 1998. The allowance 19 for loan losses of 1.84% of total loans provided coverage of 75.69% of nonperforming loans and 61.37% of nonperforming assets, compared to 63.80% and 57.32% in the first quarter of 1998 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, 1999 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 $481,000 in first quarter 1999 compared to $477,000 in first quarter 1998, or an increase of 0.84%. All other non-interest income increased by $86,000 to $256,000 for first quarter 1999 from $170,000 for first quarter 1998. The majority of this increase was recovery of $43,000 on a previously written down investment security at one of the subsidiary banks. Thus, total non-interest income for first quarter 1999 was $737,000 compared to $647,000 for first quarter 1998, or an increase of 13.91%. Noninterest Expense - ------------------- Noninterest expense increased by 10.48% to $2,699,000 in three months ended March 31, 1999 from $2,443,000 for the same period in 1998. Salaries and benefits had a significant increase due to the three new offices opened during the second half of 1998 and resulted in an increase to $1,425,000 for first quarter 1999 compared to $1,262,000 for first quarter 1998, or an increase of 12.92%. The new offices also resulted in an increase in occupancy expense as first quarter 1999 occupancy expense was $468,000 compared to $400,000 for the same period last year, or an increase of 17.00%. All other noninterest expense increased by $25,000 to $806,000 for first quarter 1999 from $781,000 for first quarter 1998. There were no significant variances in other noninterest expense for the two periods. Income Tax Expense - ------------------ Income before taxes decreased by $232,000 to $1,484,000 in first quarter 1999 from $1,716,000 in first quarter 1998. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 1999 is attributable to the decrease in net interest income and the additional expenses associated with the three new offices opened during the second half of 1998. Income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes decreased by 5.63% to 30.19% in first quarter 1999 as compared to 31.99% in first quarter 1998. Income tax expense decreased 18.40% to $448,000 for first quarter 1999 as compared to $549,000 in first quarter 1998. Future Outlook - -------------- Colony is an emerging company operating in an industry filled with non-regulated competitors and a rapid pace of consolidation. 1999 brings with it new opportunities for growth in our existing markets, as well as opportunities to expand into new markets through branch acquisitions and branching. Colony completed three new branches in 1998 which are located in Douglas, Tifton and Leesburg. Colony has targeted new brances in three growth markets in South Georgia for 1999. These new branches will be located in Cordele and Moultrie. Colony Management Services, Inc. continues to stay abreast of technology changes and its back-office consolidation effort will allow for continued reduction in overhead, while allowing the Company to better serve our customers through improved customer data resources and state-of-the-art technological services. Year 2000 Compliance Issue - -------------------------- Colony has initiated a company-wide program to identify and address issues associated with the ability of its in-house systems and outside service providers to properly recognize date-sensitive information as a result of the century change on January 1, 2000 (Year 2000). Colony has established a five-phase methodology for use in assessing the Year 2000 project's state of readiness. These phases are awareness, assessment, renovation, validation and implementation. An appointed Year 2000 steering committee monitors progress within these phases. These five phases are briefly defined as follows: (1) awareness--defining the problem and establishing the resources needed to achieve compliance; (2) assessment--identify all areas of 20 operations affected by the Year 2000 date change issue: (3) renovation--updating or replacement of affected systems; (4) validation--testing systems and evaluating the results of testing; (5) implementation--certification and acceptance of Year 2000 compliance. The majority of the Year 2000 issues facing the Company are information technology ("IT") in nature. All IT systems, which includes mainframe and midrange computer systems are 95% complete in all phases. Testing of these systems has produced satisfactory results. Non-IT systems, which include embedded technology such as micro controllers, are also being considered. In addition, all third party service providers have provided the Company with documentation regarding the tested or anticipated compliance of their services. Although the Company has obtained and continues to obtain these written verifications, there can be no assurance that the potential impact of a major interruption of failure in the service provided by these companies would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Colony has established contingency plans in the event of a failure caused by the Year 2000 date change. This plan is designed to address the most likely risks facing the Company during the rollover period. Some of these risks include application system failures, power outages, security and environmental systems failures. Colony anticipates completion of all phases by early fall of 1999 with minimal additional costs to be provided by Company earnings. The majority of remaining costs will be spent on customer assurance related expenditures. Liquidity - --------- The Company's goals with respect to liquidity are to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet current operating requirements and 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, 1999 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. Forward-Looking Statements - -------------------------- This document contains statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
