The Company

Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (Colony) is a bank holding company headquartered in Fitzgerald, Georgia that provides, through its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company), a broad array of products and services throughout 18 Georgia markets. The Company offers commercial, consumer and mortgage banking services.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The Company's financial position and results of operations are affected by management's application of accounting policies, including judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in the Company's financial position and/or results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those policies that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations, and they require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective or complete.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses provides coverage for probable losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses quarterly based on changes, if any, in underwriting activities, the loan portfolio composition (including product mix and geographic, industry or customer-specific concentrations), trends in loan performance, regulatory guidance and economic factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires the use of significant management estimates. Many factors can affect management's estimates of specific and expected losses, including volatility of default probabilities, collateral values, rating migrations, loss severity and economic and political conditions. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs.

The Company determines the amount of the allowance based on relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolio. The allowance recorded for loans is based on reviews of individual credit relationships and historical loss experience. The allowance for losses relating to impaired loans is based on the loan's observable market price, the discounted cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate, or the value of collateral for collateral dependent loans.

Regardless of the extent of the Company's analysis of customer performance, portfolio trends or risk management processes, certain inherent but undetected losses are probable within the loan portfolio. This is due to several factors, including inherent delays in obtaining information regarding a customer's financial condition or changes in their unique business conditions, the judgmental nature of individual loan evaluations, collateral assessments and the interpretation of economic trends. Volatility of economic or customer-specific conditions affecting the identification and estimation of losses for larger nonhomogeneous credits and the sensitivity of assumptions utilized to establish allowances for homogeneous groups of loans are among other factors. The Company estimates a range of inherent losses related to the existence of these exposures. The estimates are based upon the Company's evaluation of risk associated with the commercial and consumer levels and the estimated impact of the current economic environment.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles - The Company records all assets and liabilities acquired in purchase acquisitions, including goodwill and other intangibles, at fair value as required by SFAS 141. Goodwill is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using straight-line and accelerated methods, and are subject to impairment if events or circumstances indicate a possible inability to realize the carrying amount. The initial goodwill and other intangibles recorded and subsequent impairment analysis require management to make subjective judgments concerning estimates of how the acquired asset will perform in the future. Events and factors that may significantly affect the estimates include, among others, customer attrition, changes in revenue growth trends, specific industry conditions and changes in competition.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis presents the more significant factors affecting the Company's financial condition as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and results of operations for each of the six months in the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements, notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.

Taxable-equivalent adjustments are the result of increasing income from tax-free loans and investments by an amount equal to the taxes that would be paid if the income were fully taxable based on a 34 percent federal tax rate, thus making tax-exempt yields comparable to taxable asset yields.

Dollar amounts in tables are stated in thousands, except for per share amounts.

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 totaled $0.29 million, or $0.04 diluted per common share, in three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $2.70 million, or $0.38 diluted per common share, in three months ended June 30, 2007. Net income totaled $2.51 million, or $0.35 diluted per common share, in six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $5.18 million, or $0.72 diluted per common share, in six months ended June 30, 2007.

Income from operations for three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $2.41 million, or 89.19 percent, compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of a $1.78 million decrease in net interest income, an increase of $0.98 million in noninterest income, an increase of $3.16 million in provision for possible loan losses, a decrease of $1.30 million in income taxes and a decrease of $0.25 million in noninterest expense.

Net income for six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $2.67 million, or 51.6 percent compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $2.63 million in net interest income and an increase of $3.31 million in provision for possible loan loss. This was offset by an increase of $1.24 million in non-interest income, a decrease of $0.40 in non-interest expense and a decrease of $1.63 in income taxes.

Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest expense on liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets. Net interest income is the Company's largest source of revenue, representing 77.53 percent of total revenue for six months ended June 30, 2008 and 83.63 percent for the same period a year ago.

Net interest margin is the taxable-equivalent net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin.

The Federal Reserve Board influences the general market rates of interest, including the deposit and loan rates offered by many financial institutions. The Company's loan portfolio is significantly affected by changes in the prime interest rate. The prime interest rate, which is the rate offered on loans to borrowers with strong credit has ranged from 4.00 percent to 8.25 percent during 2001 to 2007. At year end 2007, the prime rate was 7.25 percent and with the 225 basis point reduction during the first half of 2008 the prime rate ended the quarter at 5.00 percent. The federal funds rate moved similar to prime rate with interest rates ranging from 1.00 percent to 5.25 percent during 2001 to 2007. At year end 2007, the federal funds rate was 4.25 percent and with the 225 basis point reduction during the first half of 2008 the federal funds rate ended the quarter at 2.00 percent. We anticipate the Federal Reserve holding interest rates at the current level the last half of 2008 with a bias toward tightening policy in 2009.

The following table presents the changes in taxable-equivalent net interest income and identifies the changes due to differences in the average volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the changes due to changes in the average interest rate on those assets and liabilities. The changes in net interest income due to changes in both average volume and average interest rate have been allocated to the average volume change or the average interest rate change in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each. The Company's consolidated average balance sheets along with an analysis of taxable-equivalent net interest earnings are presented in the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included elsewhere in this report.

(1) Changes in net interest income for the periods, based on either changes in average balances or changes in average rates for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, are shown on this table. During each year, there are numerous and simultaneous balance and rate changes; therefore, it is not possible to precisely allocate the changes between balances and rates. For the purpose of this table, changes that are not exclusively due to balance changes or rate changes have been attributed to rates.

Our financial performance is impacted by, among other factors, interest rate risk and credit risk. We do not utilize derivatives to mitigate our interest rate or credit risk, relying instead on an extensive loan review process and our allowance for loan losses.

Interest rate risk is the change in value due to changes in interest rates. The Company is exposed only to U.S. dollar interest rate changes and accordingly, the Company manages exposure by considering the possible changes in the net interest margin. The Company does not have any trading instruments nor does it classify any portion of its investment portfolio as held for trading. The Company does not engage in any hedging activity or utilize any derivatives. The Company has no exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk and other market risks. This risk is addressed by our Asset & Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") which includes senior management representatives. The ALCO monitors interest rate risk by analyzing the potential impact of alternative strategies or changes in balance sheet structure.

Interest rates play a major part in the net interest income of financial institutions. The repricing of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can influence the changes in net interest income. The timing of repriced assets and liabilities is Gap management and our Company has established its policy to maintain a Gap ratio in the one-year time horizon of 0.80 to 1.20.

Our exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a semiannual basis by our Board of Directors and the ALCO. Interest rate risk exposure is measured using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine our change in net portfolio value in the event of assumed changes in interest rates, in order to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we have implemented strategies to more closely match our balance sheet composition. We are generally focusing our investment activities on securities with terms or average lives in the 2-7 year range.

The Company maintains approximately 38.5 percent of its loan portfolio in adjustable rate loans that reprice with prime rate changes, while the bulk of its other loans mature within 3 years. The liabilities to fund assets are primarily in short term certificate of deposits that mature within one year. This balance sheet composition has allowed the Company to be relatively constant with its net interest margin the past several years, though the unprecedented 475 basis point decrease by U.S. Federal Reserve in 2001, 50 basis point decrease in 2002 and 25 basis point decrease in 2003 resulted in significant net interest margin pressure. During 2004 and 2005, interest rates increased 125 basis points and 200 basis points respectively, while another 100 basis point increase occurred during 2006, resulting in stable net interest margins. The 100 basis point decrease by the Federal Reserve in 2007 followed by 225 basis point decrease in first half 2008 resulted in significant pressure on net interest margins again. Net interest margin decreased to 3.34 percent for six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 3.78 percent for the same period a year ago. We anticipate improved net interest margin the balance of 2008 given the Federal Reserve's present interest rate forecast of neutral to tightening for the balance of 2008.

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $2.63 million, or 12.25 percent compared to the same period a year ago. The fluctuation between the comparable periods resulted from the negative impact of the significant decrease in interest rates. The average volume of earning assets during six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased almost $9.49 million compared to the same period a year ago while over the same period the net interest margin decreased by 44 basis points from 3.78 percent to 3.34 percent. Growth in average earning assets during 2008 and 2007 was primarily in loans. The decrease in the net interest margin in 2008 was primarily the result of the general decrease in market interest rates and sluggish loan activity.

The average volume of loans increased $12.7 million in six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period a year ago. The average yield on loans decreased 119 basis points in six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period a year ago. Funding for this growth was primarily provided by other borrowed money and reduction in Federal funds sold. The average volume of deposits decreased $36.4 million in six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period a year ago, with interest-bearing deposits decreasing $38 million in six months ended June 30, 2008. Accordingly, the ratio of average interest-bearing deposits to total average deposits was 92.2 percent in six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 92.6 percent in the same period a year ago. This deposit mix, combined with a general decrease in market rates, had the effect of (i) decreasing the average cost of total deposits by 48 basis points in six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period a year ago and, (ii) mitigating a portion of the impact of decreasing yields on earning assets.

The Company's net interest spread, which represents the difference between the average rate earned on earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, was 2.96 percent in six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 3.38 percent in the same period a year ago. The net interest spread, as well as the net interest margin, will be impacted by future changes in short-term and long-term interest rate levels, as well as the impact from the competitive environment. A discussion of the effects of changing interest rates on net interest income is set forth in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included elsewhere in this report.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to a level which, in management's best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. The provision for loan losses totaled $5.14 million in six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $1.83 million in the same period a year ago. See the section captioned "Allowance for Loan Losses" elsewhere in this discussion for further analysis of the provision for loan losses.

Total noninterest income for three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $978 thousand, or 47.57 percent compared to the same period a year ago. Total noninterest income for six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $1.24 million, or 29.74 percent, compared to the same year ago period. Growth in noninterest income was primarily in other income and securities gains. Changes in these items and the other components of noninterest income are discussed in more detail below.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts. Service charges on deposit accounts for three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $41 thousand, or 3.38 percent, compared to the same period a year ago.
