The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 6 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (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, Colony Bank of Fitzgerald, Fitzgerald, Georgia; Colony Bank Ashburn, Ashburn, Georgia; Colony Bank Worth, Sylvester, Georgia; Colony Bank of Dodge County, Eastman, Georgia; Colony Bank Wilcox, Rochelle, Georgia; Colony Bank Southeast, Broxton, Georgia (the Banks); and Colony Management Services, Inc., Fitzgerald, Georgia. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. conform to generally accepted accounting principles and practices utilized in the commercial banking industry. 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. All dollars in notes to consolidated financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand. Description of Business The Banks provide a full range of retail and commercial banking services for consumers and small to medium size businesses primarily in South Georgia. Lending and investing activities are funded primarily by deposits gathered through its retail branch office network. Lending is concentrated in agricultural, commercial and real estate loans to local borrowers. In management's opinion, although the Banks have a high concentration of agricultural and real estate loans, these loans are well collateralized and do not pose an adverse credit risk. In addition, the balance of the loan portfolio is sufficiently diversified to avoid significant concentration of credit risk. Although the Banks have a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of borrowers' ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the viability of the real estate economic sector. The success of Colony is dependent, to a certain extent, upon the economic conditions in the geographic markets it serves. No assurance can be given that the current economic conditions will continue. Adverse changes in the economic conditions in these geographic markets would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial condition The operating results of Colony depend primarily on its net interest income. Accordingly, operations are subject to risks and uncertainties surrounding the exposure to changes in the interest rate environment. 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 June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. 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 Held for Sale Mortgage loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market value. The method used to determine this amount is the individual loan method. 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) - ---------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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 Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, represent equity changes from economic events of the period other than transactions with owners and are not reported in the consolidated statement of income but as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Such items are considered components of other comprehensive income. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 130 requires the presentation in the financial statements of net income and all items of other comprehensive income as total comprehensive income. Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that 8 every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gain or loss to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, which delays the original effective date of SFAS No. 133 until fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which addresses a limited number of issues causing implementation difficulties for certain entities that apply Statement 133. Management does not anticipate that the derivative statements will have a material effect, if any, on the financial position and result of operations of Colony. On July 20, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement discontinues the practice of amortizing goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and initiates an annual review for impairment. Impairment would be examined more frequently if certain indicators are encountered. Intangible assets with a determinable useful life will continue to be amortized over that period. The amortization provisions apply to goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001. Goodwill and intangible assets on the books at June 30, 2001 will be affected when the Company adopts the statement. At this time, the Company has not determined what effect the impairment tests of goodwill will be on earnings and the financial position of the Company. Restricted Stock - Unearned Compensation In 1999, the board of directors of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. adopted a restricted stock grant plan which awards certain executive officers common shares of the Company. The maximum number of shares which may be subject to restricted stock awards is 44,350. During 2000, 5,250 shares were issued and in 2001, 5,250 shares were issued under this plan. The shares are recorded at fair market value (on the date granted) as a separate component of stockholder's equity. The cost of these shares is being amortized against earnings using the straight- line method over 3 years (the restriction period).

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. 11 (8) Deposits - ------------ Components of interest-bearing deposits as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are as follows:

12 (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 $369 for 2000, $328 for 1999 and $264 for 1998. (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. Commitments under standby letters of credit to U.S. addresses approximate $1,523 as of June 30, 2001 and $1,770 as of December 31, 2000.

Colony Bank Ashburn is currently constructing a new branch to be located in the Dougherty/Lee County market. The total estimated cost to complete construction and furnish the facility is $1,200. At June 30, 2001 the bank had paid approximately $675 of the total estimated cost. (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 2001 without prior approval from the banking regulatory agencies approximates $2,256. 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 consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. The amounts and ratios as defined in regulations are presented hereafter. Management believes, as of June 30, 2001, 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) Legal Contingencies - ------------------------- In the ordinary course of business, there are various legal proceedings pending against Colony and its subsidiaries. The aggregate liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings would not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on Colony's consolidated financial position. (15) Stock Grant Plan - ---------------------- On February 16, 1999, a restricted stock grant plan was approved by the Board. The plan was adopted for the purpose of establishing incentives designed to recognize, reward and retain executive employees whose performance, contribution and skills are critical to the Company. The plan period commences February 16, 1999 and ends February 15, 2009 with the maximum number of shares subject to restricted stock awards being 22,175 shares (44,350 shares after the two-for-one stock split effective September 30, 1999). On January 3, 2000, the Company issued 5,250 shares under the stock grant plan to increase the total outstanding shares from 4,435,026 at December 31, 1999 to 4,440,276 at December 31, 2000 and the Company issued 5,250 shares on January 2, 2001 to increase the total outstanding shares to 4,445,526 at June 30, 2001. 16 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 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. Converting assets to cash for these funds is primarily with proceeds from collections on loans and maturities of investment securities or by attracting and obtaining new deposits. In the six month period ended June 30, 2001, the Company was successful in meeting its liquidity needs by increasing deposits 5.83% to $476,230,000 from deposits of $450,012,000 on December 31, 2000, by reducing Federal Funds 49.74% to $10,893,000 from $21,675,000 on December 31, 2000 and by increasing other borrowed money 68.12% to $42,174,000 from $25,086,000 on December 31, 2000. Should the need arise; the Company also maintains relationships with the Federal Home Loan Bank and several correspondent banks that can provide funds on short notice. The Company's liquidity position remained acceptable in the six month period ended June 30, 2001. Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, funds due and securities) represented 23.78 percent of average deposits in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 25.22 percent of average deposits in the six month period ended June 30, 2000 and 25.22 percent for calendar year 2000. Average loans represented 89.09 percent of average deposits in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 87.31 percent in the six month period ended June 30, 2000 and 87.97 percent for calendar year 2000. Average interest-bearing deposits were 83.53 percent of average earning assets in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 82.39 percent in the six month period ended June 30, 2000 and 82.96 percent for calendar year 2000. The Company satisfies most of its capital requirements through retained earnings. During the first three months of 2001, retained earnings provided $994,000 of increase in equity. Additionally, equity had an increase of $765,000 resulting from the change during the quarter in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, net of taxes and an increase of $10,000 resulting from the stock grant plan. Thus, total equity increased by a net amount of $1,769,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2001. During the second quarter of 2001, retained earnings provided $955,000 of increase in equity. Additionally, equity had an increase of $65,000 resulting from the change during the quarter in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, net of taxes and an increase of $10,000 resulting from the stock grant plan. Thus, total equity increased by a net amount of $1,030,000 in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 and increased by a net amount of $2,799,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001. This compares to growth in equity of $1,036,000 from retained earnings, $42,000 increase resulting from changes in unrealized losses on securities and $6,000 increase resulting from the stock grant plan, or total equity increase of $1,084,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2000. During the second quarter of 2000, retained earnings provided $944,000 of increase in equity, the change in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, net of taxes resulted in equity capital increasing $11,000 and the change in stock grant plan resulted in a $6,000 increase. Thus, total equity increased by a net amount of $961,000 in the second quarter of 2000 and by a net amount of $2,045,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2000. Total equity increased by a net amount of $5,199,000 for calendar year 2000. As of June 30, 2001, the Company's capital totaled approximately $43,009,000 and the only outstanding commitment for capital expenditures was by a subsidiary bank for construction of a branch facility in Lee County. Total cost of the facility will be approximately $1,200,000 with approximately $675,000 paid as of June 30, 2001 for construction completed. The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have issued risk-based capital guidelines for U. S. banking organizations. The objective of these efforts was to provide a more uniform 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 certain 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 as of June 30, 2001 was 9.25 percent and total Tier 1 and 2 risk-based capital was 10.50 percent. Both of these measures compare favorably with the regulatory minimum of 4 percent for Tier 1 and 8 percent for total risk-based capital. The Company's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 7.60 percent as of June 30, 2001 which exceeds the required ratio standard of 4 percent. In the six month period ended June 30, 2001, average capital was $41,702,000 representing 7.75 percent of average assets for the quarter. This compares to 7.94 percent in the six month period ended June 30, 2000 and 7.81 percent for calendar year 2000. For the first and second quarter of 2001, the Company paid quarterly dividends of $0.06 per share or $0.12 for the first two quarters of 2001 compared to $0.04 per share for the first quarter of 2000 and $0.045 for the second quarter of 2000 or $0.085 for the first two quarters of 2000. The dividend payout ratio, defined, as dividends per share divided by net income per share, was 21.43 percent in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 16.04 percent in the six month period ended June 30, 2000. 17 As of June 30, 2001, 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 results of operations. However, it is possible that examinations by regulatory authorities in the future could precipitate additional loss charge-offs that could materially impact the Company's liquidity, capital resources and results of operations. Results of Operations The Company's results of operations are determined by its ability to effectively manage interest income and expense, to minimize loan and investment losses, to generate noninterest income and to control noninterest expense. Since market forces and economic conditions beyond the control of the Company determine interest rates, the ability to generate net interest income is dependent upon the Company's ability to obtain an adequate spread between the rate earned on earning assets and the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Thus, the key performance for net interest income is the interest margin or net yield, which is taxable-equivalent net interest income divided by average earning assets. Net Income Net income in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 was $1,222,000 as compared to $1,145,000 in the three month period ended June 30, 2000, or an increase of 6.72 percent while net income in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 was $2,482,000 as compared to $2,358,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2000, or an increase of 5.26 percent. This modest increase is primarily attributable to net interest margin compression that resulted from the U. S. Federal Reserve lowering interest rates 275 basis points during the first half of the year. The company's net interest margin declined 50 basis points to 3.94 percent in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to 4.44 percent in the six month period ended June 30, 2000. The negative impact of declining net interest margins was offset by increased growth as Colony continues to experience strong loan demand in both its established markets and its newer markets. On a fully diluted share basis, net income increased to $0.27 per share in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 from $0.26 for the same period in 2000, or an increase of 3.85 percent while net income increased to $0.56 per share in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 from $0.53 for the same period in 2000, or an increase of 5.66 percent. Net Interest Margin Net interest margin decreased by 63 basis points to 3.87 percent in second quarter 2001 as compared to 4.50 percent in second quarter 2000. Net interest margin decreased by 36 basis points to 4.02 percent in first quarter 2001 as compared to 4.38 percent in first quarter 2000. The company's net interest margin declined 50 basis points to 3.94 percent in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to 4.44 percent for the same period a year ago. The net interest margin compression was primarily attributable to U. S. Federal Reserve lowering interest rates 275 basis points during the first half of 2001. Margin compression during the second quarter was offset by an increase in average earning assets that resulted in net interest income increasing by 2.52 percent to $4,967,000 in second quarter 2001 from $4,845,000 for the same period in 2000. Net interest income increased 5.64 percent to $9,863,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 from $9,336,000 for the same period in 2000. Average earning assets increased to $506,731,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 from $426,823,000 for the same period a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000, average loans increased by $71,838,000 or 21.25 percent, average funds sold increased by $1,570,000 or 11.74 percent, average investment securities increased by $10,315,000 or 15.94 percent, average interest-bearing deposits in other banks decreased by $5,643,000 or 52.94 percent and average interest-bearing other assets increased $1,828,000 or 100.00 percent resulting in a net increase in average earning assets of $79,908,000 or 18.72 percent. The net increase in average assets was funded by a net increase in average deposits of 18.83 percent to $460,094,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 from $387,184,000 for the same period a year ago. Average interest-bearing deposits increased by 20.37 percent to $423,287,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to $351,641,000 for the same period a year ago, while average noninterest-bearing deposits increased 3.56 percent to $36,807,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to $35,543,000 for the same period a year ago. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 8.00 percent of average total deposits in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 9.18 percent for the same period a year ago and 8.52 percent for calendar year 2000. Interest expense increased in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 by $1,404,000 compared to the same period a year ago and increased by $3,145,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase in average interest- bearing deposits to $423,287,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to $351,641,000 for the same period in 2000. The combination of the increase in average earning assets and the decrease in the net interest margin resulted in an increase of net interest income of $122,000 in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same period a year ago and an increase of net interest income of $527,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same period a year ago. 18 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 nonaccruing, past due and other loans that management believes require 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 has determined to be adequate. The provision for loan losses was $373,000 in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $605,000 in the three month period ended June 30, 2000, representing a decrease of $232,000 or 38.35 percent. The provision for loan losses was $659,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $1,082,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2000, representing a decrease of $423,000 or 39.09 percent. Net loan charge-offs represented 129.49 percent of the provision for loan losses in the three month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 40.50 percent for the same period a year ago and represented 65.55 percent in the six month peirod ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 62.57 percent for the same period a year ago. Net loan charge-offs in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 were 0.11 percent of average loans, down from 0.20 percent for the same period a year ago. During the first six months of 2001 and 2000, a net of $432,000 and $677,000, respectively, was charged-off. The leveling off of loan charge-offs results from management's effort the past several years to improve credit quality and to eliminate weak and marginal credits. As of June 30, 2001, the allowance for loan losses was 1.36 percent of total loans outstanding as compared to an allowance for loan losses of 1.40 percent of total loans outstanding as of June 30, 2000. The loan loss reserve of 1.36 percent of total loans outstanding provided coverage of 73.61 percent of nonperforming loans and 68.94 percent of nonperforming assets as of June 30, 2001 compared to 95.73 percent and 89.76 percent, respectively as of June 30, 2000. The determination of the reserve rests upon management's judgment about factors affecting loan quality and assumptions about the economy. Management considers the June 30, 2001 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 totaled $749,000 in second quarter 2001 compared to $620,000 in second quarter 2000 or an increase of 20.81 percent and totaled $1,447,000 in six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $1,182,000 in the same period a year ago, or an increase of 22.42 percent. This increase is attributable to the increase in noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand deposit accounts and increased fee income associated with the mortgage company. All other noninterest income increased to $313,000 in second quarter 2001 from $215,000 a year ago, or a 45.58 percent increase, while all other noninterest income increased to $587,000 in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 from $500,000 a year ago, or an increase of 17.40 percent. The primary increase in noninterest income is attributable to $49,000 gain on bonds sold in second quarter 2001 and $64,000 gain on bonds sold in the six month period ended June 30, 2001 compared to zero gains for both periods in 2000. Thus, total noninterest income in second quarter 2001 was $1,062,000 compared to $835,000 in second quarter 2000, or an increase of 27.19 percent and was $2,034,000 in six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $1,682,000 in the same period a year ago, or an increase of 20.93 percent. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense increased by 13.09 percent to $3,792,000 in three months ended June 30, 2001 from 3,353,000 in the same period a year ago and increased by 16.21 percent to $7,478,000 in six months ended June 30, 2001 from $6,435,000 in the same period a year ago. Salaries and employee benefits increased 14.83 percent to $2,114,000 in second quarter 2001 from $1,841,000 in second quarter 2000 and increased 16.39 percent to $4,162,000 in six months ended June 30, 2001 from $3,576,000 in the same period a year ago. These increases are primarily due to increased staffing with two new branches opened in Fall 2000 and the acquisition of a mortgage company in March 2000. Occupancy and equipment expense increased by 10.77 percent to $648,000 in second quarter 2001 from $585,000 in second quarter 2000 and by 21.82 percent to $1,323,000 in six months ended June 30, 2001 from $1,086,000 in the same period a year ago. The increases are primarily due to additional depreciation and occupancy expense with the new offices opened during 2000. All other noninterest expense increased 11.11 percent to $1,030,000 in second quarter 2001 from $927,000 in second quarter 2000 and by 12.41 percent to $1,993,000 in six months ended June 30, 2001 from $1,773,000 in the same period a year ago. Other increases in noninterest expense are primarily attributable to expenses incurred in opening two new offices and the mortgage company during 2000. Income Tax Expense Income before taxes increased by $142,000 to $1,864,000 in second quarter 2001 from $1,722,000 in second quarter 2000 and by $259,000 to $3,760,000 in six months ended June 30, 2001 from $3,501,000 in the same period a year ago.

Income tax expense as a percentage of income 19 before taxes was 34.44 percent in second quarter 2001 compared to 33.51 percent in second quarter 2000, or an increase of 2.78 percent while income tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes was 33.99 percent in six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 32.65 percent in the same period a year ago, or an increase of 4.10 percent. Future Outlook Colony is an emerging company operating in an industry filled with nonregulated competitors and a rapid pace of consolidation. The year brings with it new opportunities for growth in our existing markets, as well as opportunities to expand into new markets through branch acquisitions and branching. Colony completed two new branches in 2000, which are located in Moultrie and Soperton, Georgia. In addition Colony acquired Georgia First Mortgage Company located in Albany, Georgia during 2000. For 2001, Colony has targeted one new branch office to be located in the Dougherty/Lee County market and one new branch to be located in the Warner Robins market. The Company will close the Lee County supermarket office when the new facility in the Dougherty/Lee County market is ready for occupancy during the third quarter of 2001. The Warner Robins office will open in temporary offices during the third quarter of 2001 while a permanent facility is being constructed that will be completed in 2002. 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 June 30, 2001 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 Federal Home Loan Bank and correspondent banks. 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.
