Forward
Looking Statement Disclosure
Statements
in this Quarterly Report regarding future events or performance are
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the PSLRA) and are made pursuant to the safe
harbors of the PSLRA. Actual results of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (the
Company) could be quite different from those expressed or implied by the
forward-looking statements. Any statements containing the words
“could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “believe,” “anticipates,” “estimates,”
“predicts,” “expects,” “projections,” “potential,” “continue,” or words of
similar import, constitute “forward-looking statements”, as do any other
statements that expressly or implicitly predict future events, results, or
performance. Factors that could cause results to differ from
results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements include, among
others, risks discussed in the text of this Quarterly Report as well as the
following specific items:
|
·
|
General
economic conditions, whether national or regional, that could affect
the
demand for loans or lead to increased loan
losses;
|
|
·
|
Competitive
factors, including increased competition with community, regional,
and
national financial institutions, that may lead to pricing pressures
that
reduce yields the Company achieves on loans and increase rates
the Company
pays on deposits, loss of the Company’s most valued customers, defection
of key employees or groups of employees, or other
losses;
|
|
·
|
Increasing
or decreasing interest rate environments, including the shape and
level of
the yield curve, that could lead to decreases in net interest margin,
lower net interest and fee income, including lower gains on sales
of
loans, and changes in the value of the Company’s investment
securities;
|
|
·
|
Changing
business or regulatory conditions, or new legislation, affecting
the
financial services industry that could lead to increased costs,
changes in
the competitive balance among financial institutions, or revisions
to our
strategic focus;
|
|
·
|
Changes
or failures in technology or third party vendor relationships in
important
revenue production or service areas, or increases in required investments
in technology that could reduce our revenue, increase our costs
or lead to
disruptions in our business.
|
|
·
|
Readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking
statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date of the
statements. The Company does not intend to publicly revise or
update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
that
arise after the date of this
report.
|
Readers
should carefully review all disclosures we file from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Bankcorp, Inc. (the Company) 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 (which includes its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Georgia First Mortgage Company), Ashburn, Georgia;
Colony Bank Worth, Sylvester, Georgia; Colony Bank of Dodge County, Eastman,
Georgia; Colony Bank Wilcox, Rochelle, Georgia; Colony Bank Southeast, Broxton,
Georgia; Colony Bank Quitman, FSB, Quitman, 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.
All
dollars in notes to consolidated financial statements are rounded to the
nearest
thousand.
Nature
of Operations
The
Banks
provide a full range of retail and commercial banking services for consumers
and
small to medium size businesses located primarily in middle and south Georgia.
Lending and investing activities are funded primarily by deposits gathered
through its retail branch office network.
Use
of Estimates
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 goodwill and other intangible assets.
Reclassifications
In
certain instances, amounts reported in prior years’ consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to statement presentations selected
for 2007. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported
stockholders’ equity or net income.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Lending
is concentrated in commercial and real estate loans to local borrowers. The
Company has a high concentration of real estate loans; however, these loans
are
well collateralized and, in management’s opinion, 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 Company has
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.
Accounting
Policies
The
accounting and reporting policies of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries
are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted and conform
to
general practices within the banking industry. The significant accounting
policies followed by Colony and the methods of applying those policies are
summarized hereafter.

Investment
Securities
Investment
securities are recorded under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS)
No. 115, whereby the Company classifies its securities as trading, available
for
sale or held to maturity. Securities that are held principally for resale
in the
near term are classified as trading. Trading securities are carried at fair
value, with realized and unrealized gains and losses included in noninterest
income. Securities acquired with both the intent and ability to be held to
maturity are classified as held to maturity and reported at amortized cost.
All
other securities not classified as trading or held to maturity are considered
available for sale.
Securities
available for sale are reported at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains
and
losses on securities available for sale are excluded from earnings and are
reported, net of deferred taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income,
a
component of stockholders’ equity. Declines in the fair value of
held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that
are
deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.
In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers
(1)
the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than
cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and
(3)
the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer
for
a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair
value.
Gains and losses from sales of securities available for sale are computed
using
the specific identification method. This caption includes securities, which
may
be sold to meet liquidity needs arising from unanticipated deposit and loan
fluctuations, changes in regulatory capital requirements, or unforeseen changes
in market conditions.
Federal
Home Loan Bank Stock
Investment
in stock of a Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) is required
for every federally insured institution that utilizes its services. FHLB
stock
is considered restricted, as defined in SFAS No. 115; accordingly, the
provisions of SFAS No. 115 are not applicable to this investment. The FHLB
stock
is reported in the consolidated financial statements at cost. Dividend income
is
recognized when earned.
Loans
Loans
that the Company has the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future
or until maturity are recorded at their principal amount outstanding, net
of
unearned interest and fees. Loan origination fees, net of certain
direct origination costs, are deferred and amortized over the estimated terms
of
the loans using the straight-line method. Interest income on loans is
recognized using the effective interest method.
A
loan is
considered to be delinquent when payments have not been made according to
contractual terms, typically evidenced by nonpayment of a monthly installment
by
the due date.
When
management believes there is sufficient doubt as to the collectibility of
principal or interest on any loan or generally when loans are 90 days or
more
past due, the accrual of applicable interest is discontinued and the loan
is
designated as nonaccrual, unless the loan is well secured and in the process
of
collection. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are either applied
against principal or reported as income, according to management’s judgment as
to the collectibility of principal. Loans are returned to an accrual status
when
factors indicating doubtful collectibility on a timely basis no longer
exist.
Allowance
for Loan Losses
The
allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have
occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses
are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility
of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited
to
the allowance.

Allowance
for Loan Losses (Continued)
The
allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and
is
based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in
light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated
value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This
evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revisions as more information becomes
available.
The
allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific
component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful or
substandard. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance
is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable
market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of
that
loan.
The
general component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical loss
experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is
maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of
probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the
margin
of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies
for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.
A
loan is
considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments
of
principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the
loan
agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include
payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled
principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant
payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls
on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances
surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay,
the
reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the
shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured
on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable
market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral
dependent.
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

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.
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of the net assets
purchased in a business combination. Impairment testing of goodwill
is performed annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate
possible impairment. No impairment has been identified as a result of
the testing performed.

Goodwill
and Intangible Assets (Continued)
Intangible
assets consist of core deposit intangibles acquired in connection with a
business combination. The core deposit intangible is initially
recognized based on an independent valuation performed as of the consummation
date. The core deposit intangible is amortized by the straight-line
method over the average remaining life of the acquired customer
deposits. Amortization periods are reviewed annually in connection
with the annual impairment testing of goodwill.
Transfers
of Financial Assets
Transfers
of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets
has
been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered
when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee
obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage
of
that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Company
does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an
agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Statement
of 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
The
provision for income taxes is based upon income for financial statement
purposes, adjusted for nontaxable income and nondeductible expenses. Deferred
income taxes have been provided when different accounting methods have been
used
in determining income for income tax purposes and for financial reporting
purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on future
tax
consequences attributable to differences arising from the financial statement
carrying values of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. 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
direct write-off method for tax purposes). In the event of changes in the
tax
laws, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted in the period of the
enactment of those changes, with effects included in the income tax provision.
The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
Each subsidiary pays its proportional share of federal income taxes to the
Company based on its taxable income.
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 acquisition 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 statements 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. SFAS No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, requires the presentation in the
financial statements of net income and all items of other comprehensive income
as total comprehensive income.
Off-Balance
Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments
In
the
ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into commitments to
extend
credit, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such
financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Changes
in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting
Pronouncements
In
February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No.
155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid FinancialInstruments – an
amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. This
statement provides entities with relief from having to separately
determine the fair value of an embedded derivative that would otherwise be
required to be bifurcated from its host contract in accordance with the
requirements of SFAS 133. Entities can make an irrevocable election
to measure such hybrid financial instruments at fair value in its entirety,
with
subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. This
election can be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The
effective date of this standard is for all financial instruments acquired,
issued or subject to a remeasurement event occurring after the beginning
of an
entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The
adoption of this statement did not have an impact on our financial position,
results of operations or disclosures.
In
March
2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets. This statement, which is an amendment to SFAS No. 140,
will simplify the accounting for servicing assets and liabilities, such as
those
common with mortgage securitization activities. Specifically, SFAS
No. 156 addresses the recognition and measurement of separately recognized
servicing assets and liabilities and provides an approach to simplify efforts
to
obtain hedge-like (offset) accounting. SFAS No. 156 also clarifies
when an obligation to service financial assets should be separately recognized
as a servicing initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits
an
entity with a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability
to
choose either the amortization or fair value methods for subsequent
measurement. The provisions of SFAS No. 156 are effective as of the
beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15,
2006. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on our
financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
In
July
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty
in Income Taxes: An Interpretation of FASBStatement No. 109 (FIN
48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax
positions. This Interpretation requires that the Company recognize in
the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position
is more
likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of
the
position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning
of the 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting
principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The
cumulative change in accounting recorded directly to retained earnings and
the
effect on 2007 income from operations was not material.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. SFAS No. 157 enhances existing guidance for
measuring assets and liabilities using fair value. Before the
issuance of SFAS No. 157, guidance for applying fair value was incorporated
in
several accounting pronouncements. SFAS No. 157 provides a single
definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and
requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets
and
liabilities. SFAS No. 157 also emphasizes that fair value is
market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and sets out
a
fair value hierarchy with the highest priority being quoted prices in active
markets. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value measurements are disclosed by
level within that hierarchy. While SFAS No. 157 does not add any new
fair value measurements, it does change current practice. Changes to
practice include: (1) a requirement for an entity to include its own credit
standing in the measurement of its liabilities; (2) a modification of the
transaction price presumption; (3) a prohibition on the use of block discounts
when valuing large blocks of securities for broker-dealers and investment
companies; and (4) a requirement to adjust the value of restricted stock
for the
effect of the restriction even if the restriction lapses within one
year. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statement issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within
those
fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this
standard to have a material effect on the financial position, results of
operations or disclosures.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - anAmendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 123(R) (FASB 158). This statement
requires companies to recognize a net liability or asset to report the funded
status of their defined benefit pension and other post retirement plans on
the
balance sheet. SFAS 158 requires additional new disclosures to be
made in companies’ financial statements. SFAS 158 is effective for
publicly-held companies for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006,
except
for the measurement date provisions, which are effective for fiscal years
ending
after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard did not have
an effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial
position.
In
September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF Issue No. 06-04,
Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects
of
Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (“EITF
06-04”). EITF 06-04 establishes that for certain split-dollar life
insurance arrangements, an employer should recognize a liability for future
benefits in accordance with currently existing accounting pronouncements
based
on the substantive agreement with the employee. EITF 06-04 will be
effective

for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. Colony is currently
evaluating the impact of the adoption of EITF 06-04 and has not yet determined
the impact EITF 06-04 will have on the Colony’s consolidated financial
statements upon adoption.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Includingan Amendment to
FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value that are not currently required to be measured at fair
value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing
entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings
caused
by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to
apply
complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement requires a
business entity to report unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected
in
earnings at each subsequent reporting date. An entity may decide
whether to elect the fair value option for each eligible item on its election
date, subject to certain requirements described in the
statement. This statement shall be effective as of the beginning of
each reporting entity’s first fiscal year that begins
after
November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of
SFAS No. 159 on its financial position, results of operations and
disclosures.

Management
evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly
basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such
evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the
extent to which the fair value
has
been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects
of the
issuer and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment
in
the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery
in fair value.
At
June
30, 2007, the debt securities with unrealized losses have depreciated 1.68
percent from the Company’s amortized cost basis. These securities are
guaranteed by either U.S. Government or other governments. These
unrealized losses relate principally to current interest rates for similar
type
of securities. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition,
management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government
or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred
and
the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. As
management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for
the
foreseeable future if classified as available-for-sale, no declines are deemed
to be other-than-temporary.

Income
Taxes
|
The
Company records income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,
which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and
reporting for income taxes. 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.

Subordinated
Debentures (Trust Preferred
Securities)
|
During
the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company formed a second subsidiary whose
sole
purpose was to issue $5,000 in Trust Preferred Securities through a pool
sponsored by FTN Financial Capital Markets. The Trust Preferred
Securities have a maturity of 30 years and are redeemable after five years
with
certain exceptions. At June 30, 2007 the floating-rate securities had
a 8.61 percent interest rate, which will reset quarterly at the three-month
LIBOR rate plus 3.25 percent.
During
the second quarter of 2004, the Company formed a third subsidiary whose sole
purpose was to issue $4,500 in Trust Preferred Securities through a pool
sponsored by FTN Financial Capital Markets. The Trust Preferred
Securities have a maturity of 30 years and are redeemable after five years
with
certain exceptions. At June 30, 2007, the floating rate securities
had a 8.04 percent interest rate, which will reset quarterly at the three-month
LIBOR rate plus 2.68 percent.
During
the second quarter of 2006, the Company formed a fourth subsidiary whose
sole
purpose was to issue $5,000 in Trust Preferred Securities through a pool
sponsored by SunTrust Capital Markets. The Trust Preferred Securities
have a maturity of 30 years and are redeemable after five years with certain
exceptions. At June 30, 2007 the floating-rate securities had a 6.86
percent interest rate, which will reset quarterly at the three-month LIBOR
rate
plus 1.50 percent.
During
the first quarter of 2007, the Company formed a fifth subsidiary whose sole
purpose was to issue $9,000 in Trust Preferred Securities through a pool
sponsored by Trapeza Capital Management, LLC. The Trust Preferred
Securities have a maturity of 30 years and are redeemable after five years
with
certain exceptions. At June 30, 2007, the floating-rate securities
had a 7.01 percent interest rate, which will reset quarterly at the three-month
LIBOR rate plus 1.65 percent. Proceeds from this issuance were used
to payoff the trust preferred securities with the first subsidiary formed
in
March 2002 as the Company exercised its option to call.
The
Trust
Preferred Securities are recorded as subordinated debentures on the consolidated
balance sheets, but subject to certain limitations, qualify as Tier 1 Capital
for regulatory capital purposes. The proceeds from the offerings were
used to fund the cash portion of the Quitman acquisition, payoff holding
company
debt, and inject capital into bank subsidiaries.

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 (split-adjusted) which may be
subject to restricted stock awards is 64,701. During 2000 – 2007,
75,803 split-adjusted shares were issued under this plan and since the plan’s
inception, 11,539 shares have been forfeited; thus, remaining shares which
may
be subject to restricted stock awards are 437 at June 30, 2007. The
shares are recorded at fair market value (on the date granted) as a separate
component of stockholders’ equity. The cost of these shares is being
amortized against earnings using the straight-line method over three years
(the
restriction period.)
In
April
2004, the stockholders of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. adopted a restricted stock
grant
plan which awards certain executive officers common shares of the

2007, 20,155 shares were issued under this plan and since the plan’s inception
2,198 shares have been forfeited, thus remaining shares which may be subject
to
restricted stock awards are 125,543 at June 30, 2007. The shares are

Profit
Sharing Plan

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
Credit-Related
Financial Instruments. The Company is a party to credit related
financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of
business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters
of
credit and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the
amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.
The
Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of
these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in
making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
At
June
30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 the following financial instruments were
outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

|

|
Commitments
to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is
no
violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit
may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The
amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company,
is
based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.
Unfunded
commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and
overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions
of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are
uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and
may
not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is
committed.
Standby
and performance letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued
by
the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public
and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit
issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved
in extending loan facilities to customers.

Purchase
Commitments. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had an outstanding
commitment of approximately $1,967 to construct and furnish an office in
Savannah. No draws have been advanced as of June 30, 2007 since
construction has not begun.
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)
|
Compensation
Plan
|
Two
of
the Bank subsidiaries have deferred compensation plans covering directors
choosing to participate through individual deferred compensation
contracts. In accordance with terms of the contracts, the Banks are
committed to pay the directors deferred compensation over a specified number
of
years, beginning at age 65. In the event of a director’s death before
age 65, payments are made
to
the director’s named beneficiary over a specified number of years, beginning on
the first day of the month following the death of the director.
Liabilities
accrued under the plans totaled $1,185 and $1,108 as of June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively. Benefit payments under the contracts
were $95 and $88 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 and June 30,
2006,
respectively. Provisions charged to operations totaled $172 and
$72 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006,
respectively.
Fee
income recognized with deferred compensation plans totaled $91 and $93 for
six
month period ended June 30, 2007 and June
30,
2006, respectively.

Regulatory
Capital Matters
|
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, 2007,
the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject
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.

128 establishes standards for computing and presenting basic and diluted
earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated and
presented based on income available to common stockholders divided by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting
periods. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
of restricted stock. The following presents earnings per share for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively,

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

Overview
The
following discussion and analysis presents the more significant factors
affecting the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006, and results of operations for each of three months and six months in
the
periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. 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
$2.70 million, or $0.38 diluted per common share, in three months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to $2.61 million, or $0.36 diluted per common share,
in three months ended June 30, 2006 and net income totaled $5.18 million
or
$0.72 diluted per common share in six months ended June 30, 2007 compared
to
$4.92 million, or $0.69 diluted per common share in six months ended June
30,
2006.

Income
from operations for three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $0.092 million,
or 3.52 percent, compared to the same period in 2006. The increase
was primarily the result of a $0.145 million increase in net interest income,
an
increase of $0.038 million in noninterest income, a decrease of $0.133 million
in provision for possible loan losses and a decrease of $0.142 million in
income
taxes. This was offset by an increase of $0.366 million in
noninterest expense.

Income
from operations for six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $0.257 million,
or
5.22 percent, compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was
primarily the result of an increase of $0.663 million in net interest income,
an
increase of $0.540 in noninterest income, a decrease of $0.141 million in
provision for possible loan losses and a decrease of $0.101 million in income
taxes. This was offset by an increase of $1.188 million in
noninterest expense.
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 43.37 percent of
total revenue for six months ended June 30, 2007 and 48.15 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, began 2001 at 9.50 percent and decreased 475 basis points
during
2001 to end the year at 4.75 percent. During 2002, the prime rate
decreased 50 basis points to end the year at 4.25 percent. During
2003, the prime rate decreased 25 basis points to end the year at 4.00
percent. During 2004, the prime rate increased 125 basis points to
end the year at 5.25 percent and during 2005, the prime rate increased 200
basis
points to end the year at 7.25 percent. During 2006, the prime rate
increased 100 basis points to end the year at 8.25 percent. The
federal funds rate moved similar to prime rate with interest rates of 1.75
percent, 1.25 percent , 1.00 percent, 2.25 percent and 4.25 percent,
respectively, as of year-end 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. During
2006, the federal funds rate increased 100 basis points to end the year at
5.25
percent. It is anticipated that the Federal Reserve will move toward
a neutral to interest rate easing stance during the balance of
2007. No rate changes have occurred since June 2006.
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.

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.
Part
I (Continued)
Item
2 (Continued)
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 about 39.7 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. These increases have
resulted in stable net interest margins. Net interest margin
decreased to 3.78 percent for six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
3.87
percent for the same period a year ago. We anticipate margin compression
for
2007 given the Federal Reserve’s present interest rate forecast of neutral to
easing for the balance of 2007.
Taxable-equivalent
net interest income for six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $0.72 million,
or 3.47 percent compared to the same period a year ago. The fluctuation between
the comparable periods resulted from the positive impact of growth in the
average volume of earning assets that was partially offset by the negative
impact of increasing average interest rates. The average volume of earning
assets during six months ended June 30, 2007 increased almost $65.9 million
compared to the same period a year ago while over the same period the net
interest margin decreased by 9 basis points from 3.87 percent to 3.78
percent. Growth in average earning assets during 2007 and 2006 was
primarily in loans. The decrease in the net interest margin in 2007
was primarily the result of the general increase in market interest rates
and
the inverted yield curve.
The
average volume of loans increased $44.4 million in six months ended June
30,
2007 compared to the same period a year ago. The average yield on
loans increased 65 basis points in six months ended June 30, 2007 compared
to
the same period a year ago. Funding for this growth was primarily provided
by
deposit growth. The average volume of deposits increased $62.9 million in
six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period a year ago.
Interest-bearing deposits made up 96.1 percent of the growth in average deposits
in six months ended June 30, 2007. Accordingly, the ratio of average
interest-bearing deposits to total average deposits was 92.6 percent in six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 92.4 percent in the same period a
year
ago. This deposit mix, combined with a general increase in market
rates, had the effect of (i) increasing the average cost of total deposits
by 79
basis points in six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period
a
year ago and, (ii) mitigating a portion of the impact of increasing 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 3.38 percent in six months ended June 30,
2007
compared to 3.57 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 $1.83 million in six months ended June
30,
2007 compared to $1.97 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, 2007 increased
$38 thousand, or 1.88 percent compared to the same period a year ago. Total
noninterest income for six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $540 thousand,
or 14.89 percent, compared to the same year ago period. Growth in
both periods was primarily in service charges on deposit accounts, mortgage
fee
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, 2007 increased $59 thousand, or 5.11 percent,
compared to the same period a year ago. Service charges on
deposit accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $145 thousand,
or 6.63 percent, compared to the same year ago period. The increase
was primarily due to an increase in overdraft fees, which was mostly related
to
consumer and commercial checking accounts.
Mortgage
Fee Income. Mortgage fee income for three months ended June 30,
2007 increased $73 thousand, or 34.27 percent, compared to the same period
year
ago. Mortgage fee income for six months ended June 30, 2007
increased $202 thousand, or 60.12 percent, compared to the same year ago
period. The company anticipates fee income to continue to show
an increase over the previous year due to the Company’s focus on
generating mortgage fee income.
All
Other Noninterest Income. Other charges, commissions and fees
and other income for three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $96 thousand,
or
14.77 percent, compared to the same period a year ago. The
significant decrease was premiums on the sale of SBA loans which decreased
to
$55 thousand for three months ended June 30, 2007 from $185 thousand for
the
same year ago period. Other charges, commissions and fees and other
income for six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $7 thousand, or 0.63
percent, compared to the same year ago period. Significant changes
included a decrease in premiums on the sale of SBA loans which decreased
to $122
thousand from $260 thousand in six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase
in
the gain realized from unwinding FHLB advances of $59 thousand from no gain
in
six months ended June 30, 2006 and proceeds realized from life insurance
death
benefit claim of $82 thousand compared to no benefit in six months ended
June
30, 2006.
Securities
Gains. The Company realized gains from the sale of securities of
$2 thousand in second quarter 2007 and $184 thousand in first quarter
2007. The Company was able to reposition it’s balance sheet to
realize higher yields on the investment securities that were sold.

Total
noninterest expense for three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $366
thousand, or 4.82 percent, compared to the same period a year ago. Total
noninterest expense for six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $1.19 million,
or 8.09 percent, compared to the same period a year ago. These items
and the changes in the various components of noninterest expense are discussed
in more detail below.
Salaries
and Employee Benefits. Salaries and employee benefits expense
for three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $440 thousand, or 10.36
percent, compared to the same period a year ago. Salaries and
employee benefits expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased
$903
thousand, or 10.85 percent, compared to the same year ago
period. The increase is primarily related to increases in
headcount as a result of new offices with the Company’s denovo branch
expansions. Merit increases, increased insurance premiums and
additional staffing for back office support also added to the
increased personnel expense.
Occupancy
and Equipment. Occupancy and equipment expense has remained
relatively flat in both periods with an increase of $7 thousand for three
months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same year ago period and an increase
of $23
thousand for six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same year ago
period.
All
Other Non-Interest Expense. All other noninterest expense for
three months ended June 30, 2007 decreased $81 thousand, or 3.45 percent
compared to the same year ago period. One significant item during the
quarter was reversal of $50 thousand for a reserve set up in 2006 for other
losses involving a counterfeit check. The Company’s legal counsel,
upon research, has taken the position that the counterfeit check was not
returned in a timely manner by the sending bank and thus no exposure to the
Company. All other noninterest expense for six months ended June 30,
2007 increased $262 thousand, or 5.99 percent compared to the same year ago
period. This increase is primarily attributable to amortization of
trust preferred securities placement fees increasing to $191 thousand for
six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $16 thousand in the same year ago
period
and one-time reserve of $100 thousand for deferred compensation benefits
due
beneficiaries upon the death of an emeritus director. Unamortized
loan placement fees on $9 million trust preferred securities refinanced
accounted for the increased amortization expense while the reserve established
reflects the net present value of funds due beneficiaries with the deferred
compensation plan at one of the subsidiaries.
Sources
and Uses of Funds
The
following table illustrates, during the years presented, the mix of the
Company’s funding sources and the assets in which those funds are invested as a
percentage of the Company’s average total assets for the period indicated.
Average assets totaled $1.199 billion in six months ended June 30, 2007 compared
to $1.133 billion in six months ended June 30, 2006.

Deposits
continue to be the Company’s primary source of funding. Over the
comparable periods, the relative mix of deposits continues to be high in
interest-bearing deposits. Interest-bearing deposits totaled 92.59
percent of total average deposits in six months ended June 30, 2007 compared
to
92.36 percent in the same period a year ago.
The
Company primarily invests funds in loans and securities. Loans
continue to be the largest component of the Company’s mix of invested
assets. Total loans were $953 million at June 30, 2007, up 1.17
percent, compared to loans of $942 million at December 31, 2006. See
additional discussion regarding the Company’s loan portfolio in the section
captioned “Loans” included elsewhere in this discussion. The majority
of funds provided by deposit growth have been invested in loans.

Overview.
Loans totaled $953 million at June 30, 2007, up 1.17 percent from December
31,
2006 loans of $942 million. The majority of the Company’s loan
portfolio is comprised of the real estate loans-other, real estate construction
and installment loans to individuals. Real estate-other, which is
primarily 1-4 family residential properties and nonfarm nonresidential
properties, made up 56.21 percent and 58.33 percent of total loans, real
estate
construction made up 22.62 percent and 20.58 percent, while installment loans
to
individuals made up 7.99 percent and 8.16 percent of total loans at June
30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Real estate loans-other
include both commercial and consumer balances.
Loan
Origination/Risk Management. In accordance with the
Company’s decentralized banking model, loan decisions are made at the local bank
level. The Company utilizes a Central Credit Committee to assist
lenders with the decision making and underwriting process of larger loan
requests. Due to the diverse economic markets served by the Company,
evaluation and underwriting criterion may vary slightly by
bank. Overall, loans are extended after a review of the borrower’s
repayment ability, collateral adequacy, and overall credit
worthiness.
Commercial
purpose, commercial real estate, and industrial loans are underwritten similar
to other loans throughout the company. The properties securing the
Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and
geographic location. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s
exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or
industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate
loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria. The
Company also utilizes information provided by third-party agencies to provide
additional insight and guidance about economic conditions and trends affecting
the markets it serves.
Part
I (Continued)
Item

(Continued)
The
Company extends loans to builders and developers that are secured by non-owner
occupied properties. In such cases, the Company reviews the overall
economic conditions and trends for each market to determine the desirability
of
loans to be extended for residential construction and
development. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be
pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of
developed property or an interim mini-perm loan commitment from the Company
until permanent financing is obtained. In some cases, loans are
extended for residential loan construction for speculative purposes and are
based on the perceived present and future demand for housing in a particular
market served by the Company. These loans are monitored by on-site
inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate
loans
due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes,
general economic conditions and trends, the demand for the properties, and
the
availability of long-term financing.
The
Company originates consumer loans at the bank level. Due to the
diverse economic markets served by the Company, underwriting criterion may
vary
slightly by bank. The Company is committed to serving the borrowing
needs of all markets served and, in some cases, adjusts certain evaluation
methods to meet the overall credit demographics of each
market. Consumer loans represent relatively small loan amounts that
are spread across many individual borrower’s that helps minimize
risk. Additionally, consumer trends and outlook reports are reviewed
by management on a regular basis.
The
Company maintains an independent loan review department that reviews and
validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of these reviews
are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces
the risk identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit
personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.
Commercial,
Financial and Agricultural. Commercial, financial and
agricultural loans at June 30, 2007 decreased 0.44 percent from
December 31, 2006 to $62 million. The Company’s commercial and
industrial loans are a diverse group of loans to small, medium and large
businesses. The purpose of these loans varies from supporting seasonal working
capital needs to term financing of equipment. While some short-term loans
may be
made on an unsecured basis, most are secured by the assets being financed
with
collateral margins that are consistent with the Company’s loan policy
guidelines.
Collateral
Concentrations. Lending is concentrated in commercial and real
estate loans primarily to local borrowers. The Company has a high
concentration of real estate loans; however, these loans are well collateralized
and, in management’s opinion, 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 Company has a
diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of borrower’s ability to honor
their contracts is dependent upon the viability of the real estate economic
sector.
Large
Credit Relationships. Colony is currently in eighteen counties
in middle and south Georgia and include metropolitan markets in Doughtery,
Lowndes, Houston, Chatham and Muscogee counties. As a result, the
Company originates and maintains large credit relationships with several
commercial customers in the ordinary course of business. The Company
considers large credit relationships to be those with commitments equal to
or in
excess of $5.0 million prior to any portion being sold. Large
relationships also include loan participations purchased if the credit
relationship with the agent is equal to or in excess of $5.0
million. In addition to the Company’s normal policies and procedures
related to the origination of large credits, the Company’s Central Credit
Committee must approve all new and renewed credit facilities which are part
of
large credit relationships. The following table provides additional
information on the Company’s large credit relationships outstanding at period
end.

The
Company may renew loans at maturity when requested by a customer whose financial
strength appears to support such renewal or when such renewal appears to
be in
the Company’s best interest. In such instances, the Company generally requires
payment of accrued interest and may adjust the rate of interest, require
a
principal reduction or modify other terms of the loan at the time of
renewal.

Non-performing
assets include non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more, restructured
loans and foreclosed real estate. Non-performing assets at June 30,
2007 decreased 24.13 percent from December 31, 2006. Subsequent to
June 30, 2007 the Company placed a $5.7 million commercial real estate loan
relationship on non-accrual status. Though this will significantly
increase our non-performing assets compared to quarter-end June 30, 2007,
the
Company’s current assessment of the loan relationship lead us to believe that
minimal loss exposure exists in the loan. Based on the current
appraisal, the loan has a 65 percent loan to value ratio and strong
guarantors. Interest on the loan has been paid through June 30, 2007;
thus, no reversal of prior period interest will occur.
Generally,
loans are placed on non-accrual status if principal or interest payments
become
90 days past due and/or management deems the collectibility of the
principal and/or interest to be in question, as well as when required by
regulatory requirements. Loans to a customer whose financial condition has
deteriorated are considered for non-accrual status whether or not the loan
is
90 days or more past due. For consumer loans, collectibility and loss are
generally determined before the loan reaches 90 days past due. Accordingly,
losses on consumer loans are recorded at the time they are determined. Consumer
loans that are 90 days or more past due are generally either in
liquidation/payment status or bankruptcy awaiting confirmation of a plan.
Once
interest accruals are discontinued, accrued but uncollected interest is charged
to current year operations. Subsequent receipts on non-accrual loans are
recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded only
after
principal recovery is reasonably assured. Classification of a loan as
non-accrual does not preclude the ultimate collection of loan principal or
interest.
Restructured
loans are loans on which, due to deterioration in the borrower’s financial
condition, the original terms have been modified in favor of the borrower
or
either principal or interest has been forgiven.
Foreclosed
assets represent property acquired as the result of borrower defaults on
loans.
Foreclosed assets are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value,
less estimated selling costs, at the time of foreclosure. Write-downs occurring
at foreclosure are charged against the allowance for possible loan losses.
On an
ongoing basis, properties are appraised as required by market indications
and
applicable regulations. Write-downs are provided for subsequent declines
in
value and are included in other non-interest expense along with other expenses
related to maintaining the properties.

Allowance
for Loan Losses
The
allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for
loan
losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of
probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of
loans.
The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for
estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio.
The
allowance for loan losses includes allowance allocations calculated in
accordance with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan, as amended by SFAS 118, and allowance allocations determined in
accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The
level of the allowance reflects management’s continuing evaluation of industry
concentrations, specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan
portfolio quality, present economic, political and regulatory conditions
and
unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio. Portions of the
allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire allowance
is available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be charged
off. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available,
the
ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors
beyond
the Company’s control, including the performance of the Company’s loan
portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory
authorities toward loan classifications. The company’s allowance for loan losses
consists of specific valuation allowances established for probable losses
on
specific loans and historical valuation allowances for other loans with similar
risk characteristics.
The
allowances established for probable losses on specific loans are based on
a
regular analysis and evaluation of classified loans. Loans are
classified based on an internal credit risk grading process that evaluates,
among other things: (i) the obligor’s ability to repay; (ii) the underlying
collateral, if any; and (iii) the economic environment and industry in which
the
borrower operates. This analysis is performed at the subsidiary bank
level and is reviewed at the parent company level. Once a loan is
classified, it is reviewed to determine whether the loan is impaired and,
if
impaired, a portion of the allowance for possible loan losses is specifically
allocated to the loan. Specific valuation allowances are determined
after considering the borrower’s financial condition, collateral deficiencies,
and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other
things.
Historical
valuation allowances are calculated from loss factors applied to loans with
similar risk characteristics. The loss factors are based on loss
ratios for groups of loans with similar risk characteristics. The
loss ratios are derived from the proportional relationship between actual
loan
losses and the total population of loans in the risk category. The
historical loss ratios are periodically updated based on actual charge-off
experience. The Company’s groups of similar loans include similarly
risk-graded groups of loans not reviewed for individual impairment.
Management
evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for each of these components on a
quarterly basis. Peer comparisons, industry comparisons, and
regulatory guidelines are also used in the determination of the general
valuation allowance.
Loans
identified as losses by management, internal loan review, and/or bank examiners
are charged-off.
An
allocation for loan losses has been made according to the respective amounts
deemed necessary to provide for the possibility of incurred losses within
the
various loan categories. The allocation is based primarily on
previous charge-off experience adjusted for changes in experience among each
category. Additional amounts are allocated by evaluating the loss
potential of individual loans that management has considered
impaired. The reserve for loan loss allocation is subjective since it
is based on judgment and estimates, and therefore is not necessarily indicative
of the specific amounts or loan categories in which the charge-offs may
ultimately occur. The following table shows a comparison of the
allocation of the reserve for loan losses for the periods
indicated.

The
allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered appropriate
by
management, based on estimated probable losses within the existing loan
portfolio. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to
reserve
for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio. The
provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, including the level
of
net charge-offs or recoveries, among other factors. The provision for loan
losses decreased $133 thousand from $1,047 thousand in three months ended
June
30, 2006 to $914 thousand in three months ended June 30, 2007.
Net
charge-offs in three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $288 thousand compared
to the same period a year ago. Net charge- offs of 0.05 percent for
second quarter 2007 that annualizes to 0.20 percent is slightly below our
net
charge-off ratio for the past several years. We anticipate annual net
charge-offs to be in the 0.25 to 0.30 percent range for 2007.
Management
believes the level of the allowance for loan losses was adequate as of June
30,
2007. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses change, the Company’s estimate of
probable loan losses could also change, which could affect the level of future
provisions for loan losses.

2006 to $1,828 thousand in six months ended June 30, 2007. Provisions
decreased during first half of 2007 primarily due to our flat loan
volume.
Net
charge-offs in six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $97 thousand compared
to
the same period a year ago. Net charge-offs of 0.13 percent for first
half of 2007 that annualizes to 0.26 percent is slightly below our net
charge-off ratio for the past several years. We anticipate
annual net charge-offs to be in the 0.25 to 0.30 percent range for
2007.
Management
believes the level of the allowance for loan losses was adequate as of June
30,
2007. Should any of the factors considered by management in evaluating the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses change, the Company’s estimate of
probable loan losses could also change, which could affect the level of future
provisions for loan losses.

Securities
are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management
has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Securities
are
classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized
holding
gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. The Company has
99.9
percent of its portfolio classified as available for sale.
At
June
30, 2007, there were no holdings of any one issuer, other than the U.S.
government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10 percent of the
Company’s shareholders’ equity.
The
average yield of the securities portfolio was 4.69 percent in six months
ended
June 30, 2007 compared to 4.17 percent in the same period a year ago. The
increase in the average yield over the comparable periods primarily resulted
from the higher interest rate environment.

Average
deposits increased $63 million to $1,026 million at June 30, 2007 from $963
million at June 30, 2006. The increase included $2.4 million, or 3.81
percent, related to noninterest-bearing deposits. Accordingly the
ratio of average noninterest-bearing deposits to total average deposits was
7.41
percent for six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 7.64 percent for six
months ended June 30, 2006. The general increase in market rates, had
the effect of (i) increasing the average cost of total deposits by 79 basis
points in six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period a year
ago;
and (ii) mitigating a portion of the impact of increasing yields on earning
assets.
Total
average interest-bearing deposits increased $60.5 million, or 6.80 percent
in
six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period a year
ago. The growth in average deposits at June 30, 2007 compared to June
30, 2006 was primarily in money market deposit accounts and savings and
interest-on-checking accounts and other time accounts. With the
current interest rate environment, it appears that many customers are more
inclined to invest their funds for extended periods and are choosing to maintain
such funds in time accounts.

commitments and standby letters of credit are presented at contractual amounts;
however, since many of these commitments are expected to expire unused or
only

In
the
ordinary course of business, the Company enters into off-balance sheet financial
instruments which are not reflected in the consolidated financial
statements. These instruments include commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit, performance letters of credit, guarantees and
liability for assets held in trust. Such financial instruments are
recorded in the financial statements when funds are disbursed or the instruments
become payable. The Company uses the same credit policies for these
off-balance sheet financial instruments as they do for instruments that are
recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
Loan
Commitments. The Company enters into contractual commitments to extend
credit, normally with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses, at
specified rates and for specific purposes. Substantially all of the Company’s
commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific
credit standards at the time of loan funding. The Company minimizes its exposure
to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and
monitoring procedures. Management assesses the credit risk associated with
certain commitments to extend credit in determining the level of the allowance
for possible loan losses. Loan commitments outstanding at June 30, 2007 are
included in the table above.
Standby
Letters of Credit. Letters of credit are written conditional
commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer
to
a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with
the
terms of the agreement with the third party, the Company would be required
to
fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the
Company
could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the
commitment. If the commitment is funded, the Company would be entitled to
seek
recovery from the customer. The Company’s policies generally require that
standby letters of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants
similar to those contained in loan agreements. Standby letters of credit
outstanding at June 30, 2007 are included in the table above.
Capital
and Liquidity
At
June
30, 2007, stockholders’ equity totaled $79.86 million compared to
$76.61 million at December 31, 2006. In addition to net income of
$5.18 million, other significant changes in stockholders’ equity during six
months ended June 30, 2007 included $1.28 million of dividends paid,
reduction of retained earnings of $0.25 million for change in
accounting principle – Fin 48 and an increase of $0.122 million resulting from
the amortization of the stock grant plan. The accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) component of stockholders’ equity totaled $(1,505) thousand at
June 30, 2007 compared to $(975) thousand at December 31, 2006. This
fluctuation was mostly related to the after-tax effect of changes in the
fair
value of securities available for sale. Under regulatory requirements, the
unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale does not increase
or
reduce regulatory capital and is not included in the calculation of risk-based
capital and leverage ratios. Regulatory agencies for banks and bank holding
companies utilize capital guidelines designed to measure Tier 1 and total
capital and take into consideration the risk inherent in both on-balance
sheet
and off-balance sheet items. 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
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 and gain on marketable equity securities.
Part
I (Continued)
Item
2
(Continued)
Using
the
capital requirements presently in effect, the Tier 1 ratio as of June 30,
2007
was 10.51 percent and total Tier 1 and 2 risk-based capital was 11.76
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 as of June 30, 2007 was
8.57 percent, which exceeds the required ratio standard of 4
percent.
For
six
months ended June 30, 2007, average capital was $78.6 million, representing
6.55
percent of average assets for the year. This compares to 6.16
percent for six months ended June 30, 2006 and 6.20 percent for calendar
year
2006.
The
Company paid cash dividends of $0.1775 per common share during the first
half of
2007, and a cash dividend of $0.1575 per common share during the first half
of
2006, respectively. This equates to a dividend payout ratio of 24.65
percent for first half 2007 compared to 22.83 percent for the same
period a year ago.
The
Company, primarily through the actions of its subsidiary banks, engages in
liquidity management to ensure adequate cash flow for deposit withdrawals,
credit commitments and repayments of borrowed funds. Needs are met
through loan repayments, net interest and fee income and the sale or maturity
of
existing assets. In addition, liquidity is continuously provided
through the acquisition of new deposits, the renewal of maturing deposits
and
external borrowings.
Management
monitors deposit flow and evaluates alternate pricing structures to retain
and
grow deposits. To the extent needed to fund loan demand,
traditional local deposit funding sources are supplemented by the use of
FHLB
borrowings, brokered deposits and other wholesale deposit sources outside
the
immediate market area. Internal policies have been updated to monitor
the use of various core and non-core funding sources, and to balance ready
access with risk and cost. Through various asset/liability management
strategies, a balance is maintained among goals of liquidity, safety and
earnings potential. Internal policies that are consistent with
regulatory liquidity guidelines are monitored and enforced by the
banks.
The
investment portfolio provides a ready means to raise cash if liquidity needs
arise. As of June 30 2007, the Company held $155 million in bonds
(excluding FHLB stock), at current market value in the available for sale
portfolio. At December 31, 2006, the available for sale bond
portfolio totaled $149 million. Only marketable investment grade
bonds are purchased. Although most of the banks’ bond portfolios are
encumbered as pledges to secure various public funds deposits, repurchase
agreements, and for other purposes, management can restructure and free up
investment securities for a sale if required to meet liquidity
needs.
Management
continually monitors the relationship of loans to deposits as it primarily
determines the Company’s liquidity posture. Colony had ratios of
loans to deposits of 93.3 percent as of June 30, 2007 and 90.3 percent at
December 31, 2006. Management employs alternative funding sources
when deposit balances will not meet loan demands. The ratios of loans
to all funding sources (excluding Subordinated Debentures) at June 30, 2007
and
December 31, 2006 were 87.3 percent and 85.2 percent,
respectively. Management continues to emphasize programs to generate
local core deposits as our Company’s primary funding sources. The
stability of the banks’ core deposit base is an important factor in Colony’s
liquidity position. A heavy percentage of the deposit base is
comprised of accounts of individuals and small business with comprehensive
banking relationships and limited volatility. At June 30, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, the banks had $349.4 million and $366 million in certificates
of deposit of $100,000 or more. These larger deposits represented
34.19 percent and 35.11 percent of respective total
deposits. Management seeks to monitor and control the use of these
larger certificates, which tend to be more volatile in nature, to ensure
an
adequate supply of funds as needed. Relative interest costs to
attract local core relationships are compared to market rates of interest
on
various external deposit sources to help minimize the Company’s overall cost of
funds.
Local
market deposit sources proved insufficient to fund the strong loan growth
trends
at Colony over the past several years. The Company supplemented
deposit sources with brokered deposits. As of June 30, 2007, the
Company had $61.1 million, or 5.98 percent of total deposits, in brokered
certificates of deposit attracted by external third
parties. Additionally, the banks use external wholesale or Internet
services to obtain out-of-market certificates of deposit at competitive interest
rates when funding is needed.
To
plan
for contingent sources of funding not satisfied by both local and out-of-market
deposit balances, Colony and its subsidiaries have established multiple
borrowing sources to augment their funds management. The Company has
borrowing capacity through membership of the Federal Home Loan Bank
program. The banks have also established overnight borrowing for
Federal Funds Purchased through various correspondent
banks. Management believes the various funding sources discussed
above are adequate to meet the Company’s liquidity needs in the future without
any material adverse impact on operating results.
Liquidity
measures the ability to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become
due. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects its ability to meet
loan
requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to take advantage
of
interest rate market opportunities. The ability of a financial institution
to
meet its current financial obligations is a function of balance sheet structure,
the ability to liquidate assets, and the availability of alternative sources
of
funds. The Company seeks to ensure its funding needs are met by maintaining
a
level of liquid funds through asset/liability management.
Part
I (Continued)
Item
2 (Continued)
Asset
liquidity is provided by liquid assets which are readily marketable or
pledgeable or which will mature in the near future. Liquid assets include
cash,
interest-bearing deposits in banks, securities available for sale, maturities
and cash flow from securities held to maturity, and federal funds sold and
securities purchased under resale agreements.
Liability
liquidity is provided by access to funding sources which include core
deposits. 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. Since Colony is a holding company
and
does not conduct operations, its primary sources of liquidity are dividends
up
streamed from subsidiary banks and borrowings from outside sources.
The
liquidity position of the Company is continuously monitored and adjustments
are
made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate.
Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have
a
material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources or
operations. In addition, management is not aware of any regulatory
recommendations regarding liquidity, which if implemented, would have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
Impact
of Inflation and Changing Prices
The
Company’s financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
GAAP presently requires the Company to measure financial position and operating
results primarily in terms of historic dollars. Changes in the relative value
of
money due to inflation or recession are generally not considered. The primary
effect of inflation on the operations of the Company is reflected in increased
operating costs. In management’s opinion, changes in interest rates affect the
financial condition of a financial institution to a far greater degree than
changes in the inflation rate. While interest rates are greatly influenced
by
changes in the inflation rate, they do not necessarily change at the same
rate
or in the same magnitude as the inflation rate. Interest rates are highly
sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of the Company, including
changes in the expected rate of inflation, the influence of general and local
economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States
government, its agencies and various other governmental regulatory authorities,
among other things, as further discussed in the next section.
Regulatory
and Economic Policies
The
Company’s business and earnings are affected by general and local economic
conditions and by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States
government, its agencies and various other governmental regulatory authorities,
among other things. The Federal Reserve Board regulates the supply of money
in
order to influence general economic conditions. Among the instruments of
monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve Board are (i) conducting
open
market operations in United States government obligations, (ii) changing
the discount rate on financial institution borrowings, (iii) imposing or
changing reserve requirements against financial institution deposits, and
(iv) restricting certain borrowings and imposing or changing reserve
requirements against certain borrowing by financial institutions and their
affiliates. These methods are used in varying degrees and combinations to
affect
directly the availability of bank loans and deposits, as well as the interest
rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. For that reason alone, the policies
of the Federal Reserve Board have a material effect on the earnings of the
Company.
Governmental
policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial
banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future; however,
the Company cannot accurately predict the nature, timing or extent of any
effect
such policies may have on its future business and earnings.

Future
Outlook
Colony
is
an emerging company 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 acquisitions and denovo
branching. Entry into the MSA markets – Savannah, Albany, Columbus,
Warner Robins, and Valdosta – will require multi-branch offices and the Company
is presently looking for available real estate to purchase in those
markets. Presently Colony has secured real estate in the Savannah
market and will likely begin construction of its second Savannah office in
third
quarter 2007. Likewise, Colony has secured real estate in the Albany
market for another office though no established date for construction has
been
set.
BUSINESS
General
The
Company was organized in 1983 as a bank holding company through the merger
of
Colony Bank of Fitzgerald with a subsidiary of the Company. Since
that time, Colony Bank of Fitzgerald, which was formed by principals of Colony
Bankcorp, Inc. in 1976, has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company. In April 1984, Colony Bankcorp, Inc. acquired Colony Bank
Wilcox, and in November 1984, Colony Bank Ashburn became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. Colony Bankcorp, Inc. continued

Rate Sensitivity
The
following table is an analysis of the Company’s interest rate-sensitivity
position at June 30, 2007. The interest-bearing rate-sensitivity gap,
which is the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities by repricing period, is based upon maturity or first repricing
opportunity, along with a cumulative interest rate-sensitivity
gap. It is important to note that the table indicates a position at a
specific point in time and may not be reflective of positions at other times
during the year or in subsequent periods. Major changes in the gap
position can be, and are, made promptly as market outlooks change.

The
foregoing table indicates that we had a one year negative gap of ($228) million,
or (20.16) percent of total assets at June 30, 2007. In theory, this
would indicate that at June 30, 2007, $228 million more in liabilities than
assets would reprice if there were a change in interest rates over the next
365
days. Thus, if interest rates were to increase, the gap would
indicate a resulting decrease in net interest margin. However,
changes in the mix of earning assets or supporting liabilities can either
increase or decrease the net interest
margin without affecting interest rate sensitivity. In addition, the
interest rate spread between an asset and our supporting liability can vary
significantly while the timing of repricing of both the assets and our
supporting liability can remain the same, thus impacting net interest
income. This characteristic is referred to as a basis risk and,
generally, relates to the repricing characteristics of short-term funding
sources such as certificates of deposits.
Gap
analysis has certain limitations. Measuring the volume of repricing
or maturing assets and liabilities does not always measure the full impact
on
the portfolio value of equity or net interest income. Gap analysis
does not account for rate caps on products; dynamic changes such as increasing
prepay speeds as interest rates decrease, basis risk, or the benefit of non-rate
funding sources. The majority of our loan portfolio reprices quickly
and completely following changes in market rates, while non-term deposit
rates
in general move slowly and usually incorporate only a fraction of the change
in
rates. Products categorized as non-rate sensitive, such as our
noninterest-bearing demand deposits, in the gap analysis behave like long
term
fixed rate funding sources. Both of these factors tend to make our
actual behavior more asset sensitive than is indicated in the gap
analysis. In fact, we experience higher net interest income when
rates rise, opposite what is indicated by the gap analysis. In fact,
during the recent period of declines in interest rates, our net interest
margin
has declined. Therefore, management uses gap analysis, net interest
margin analysis and market value of portfolio equity as our primary interest
rate risk management tools.
The
Company is now utilizing SunTrust Asset/Liability Management Analysis for
a more
dynamic analysis of balance sheet structure. The Company has
established earnings at risk for net-interest income in a +/- 200 basis point
rate shock to be no more than a fifteen percent decline. The most
recent analysis as of March 31, 2007 indicates that net interest income would
deteriorate 5.24 percent with a 200 basis point decrease and would improve
3.02
percent with a 200 basis point increase. The Company has established
equity at risk in a +/- 200 basis points rate shock to be no more than a
twenty
percent decline. The most recent analysis as of March 31, 2007
indicates that net economic value of equity percentage change would decrease
0.60 percent with a 200 basis point increase and would decrease 4.04 percent
with a 200 basis point decrease. The Company has established its one
year gap to be 0.80 percent to 1.20 percent. The most recent analysis
as of March 31, 2007 indicates a one year gap of 0.89 percent. The
analysis suggests net interest margin compression in a declining
interest rate environment. Given that interest rates are at or near
its peak, the Company is focusing on areas to minimize margin compression
in the
future. These include locking in more loans at a fixed rate versus a
variable rate, minimizing dollars in Federal funds, extending out on the
yield
curve with investments, securing brokered certificates of deposit for terms
less
than one year and focusing on reduction of nonperforming assets.
