EXPLANATORY NOTE

Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2008 (the “Original Filing”).  The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to amend and restate Item 9A of the Original Filing to make certain corrections and clarifications to the information presented in the Original Filing.  This Amendment No. 1 does not otherwise update information in the Original Filing to reflect facts or events occurring subsequent to the date of the Original Filing.

Part II
Item 9A

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Colony’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Colony’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Colony’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Colony’s management assessed the effectiveness of Colony’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007 based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on the assessment, management determined that Colony maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007.

McNair, McLemore, Middlebrooks & Co., LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements of Colony included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of Colony’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. The report, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Colony’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, is included in Item 8 of this Report under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”
