We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SNB Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SNB Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

SNB BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SNB Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Security Bank of Bibb County (formerly Security National Bank) (which includes its wholly owned subsidiary, Fairfield Financial Services, Inc.) located in Macon, Georgia and Security Bank of Houston County (formerly Crossroads Bank of Georgia), located in Perry, Georgia (the Banks). All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated. The accounting and reporting policies of SNB Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries (SNB) conform to generally accepted accounting principles and practices utilized in the commercial banking industry.

Security Bank of Houston County was acquired on August 8, 1998 in a business combination accounted for as pooling of interests. Accordingly, all years presented herein have been restated to reflect pooled financial position and operating results.

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 deferred tax assets.

Description of Business

The Banks provide a full range of retail and commercial banking services for consumers and small to medium size businesses primarily in central Georgia. Lending and investing activities are funded primarily by deposits gathered through its retail branch office network. Lending is concentrated in mortgage, commercial and consumer loans to local borrowers. In management's opinion, although the Banks have a high concentration of real estate loans, these loans are well collateralized and do not pose an adverse credit risk. In addition, the balance of the loan portfolio is sufficiently diversified to avoid significant concentration of credit risk. Although the Banks have a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of borrowers' ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon the viability of the real estate economic sector.

The success of SNB 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 SNB 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.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Investment Securities

Investment securities are recorded under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, whereby the Banks classify their securities as trading, available for sale or held to maturity. Trading securities are purchased and held for sale in the near term. Securities held to maturity are those which the Banks have the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All other securities not classified as trading or held to maturity are considered available for sale.

Securities available for sale are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported net of deferred taxes as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Fair value represents an approximation of realizable value as of December 31, 2000 and 1999. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method.

Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market value. The method used to determine this amount is the individual loan method.

Loans

Loans are generally reported at principal amount less unearned interest and fees. Interest income on loans is recognized using the effective interest method. Impaired loans are recorded under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan and SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures. Impaired loans are loans for which principal and interest are unlikely to be collected in accordance with the original loan terms and, generally, represent loans delinquent in excess of 90 days which have been placed on nonaccrual status and for which collateral values are less than outstanding principal and interest. Small balance, homogeneous loans are excluded from impaired loans. Generally, interest payments received on impaired loans are applied to principal. Upon receipt of all loan principal, additional interest payments are recognized as interest income on the cash basis.

Other nonaccrual loans are loans for which payments of principal and interest are considered doubtful of collection under original terms but collateral values equal or exceed outstanding principal and interest.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance method is used in providing for losses on loans. Accordingly, all loan losses decrease the allowance and all recoveries increase it. The provision for loan losses is based on factors which, in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating possible loan losses. Such factors considered by management include growth and composition of the loan portfolio, economic conditions and the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans.

An allowance for loan losses is maintained for all impaired loans. Provisions are made for impaired loans upon changes in expected future cash flows or estimated net realizable value of collateral. When determination is made that impaired loans are wholly or partially uncollectible, the uncollectible portion is charged off.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

Management believes the allowance for possible loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives and methods of depreciation are as follows:

Description	Life in Years	Method
Banking Premises	30	Straight-Line
Furniture and Equipment	5-25	Straight-Line

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.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate primarily to depreciable assets (use of different depreciation methods for financial statement and income tax purposes) and allowance for loan losses (use of the allowance method for financial statement purposes and the experience method for tax purposes). The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

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. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 130 requires the presentation in the financial statements of net income and all items of other comprehensive income as total comprehensive income.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Other Real Estate

Other real estate generally represents real estate acquired through foreclosure and is initially recorded at the lower of cost or estimated market value at the date of acquisition. An allowance for estimated losses is recorded when a subsequent decline in value occurs.

Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gain and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, which delays the original effective date of SFAS No. 133 until fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which addresses a limited number of issues causing implementation difficulties for certain entities that apply Statement 133. Management does not anticipate that the derivative statements will have a material effect, if any, on the financial position and results of operations of SNB.

During the second quarter of 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, Accounting for Start-up Costs. SOP 98-5 provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and organization costs and requires start-up costs to be expensed as incurred. The adoption of the statement had no impact on SNB's financial position or results of operations.

(7) Other Assets

Organization costs totaling $40,510 incurred in connection with formation of the parent company were being amortized to operations over a period of 60 months. Related amortization expense totaled $0 in 2000, $6,706 in 1999 and $8,103 in 1998. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2000 is $40,510. Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities, as promulgated by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, requires previously capitalized organization costs to be expensed in 1999. Since final amortization occurred in 1999 under regularly scheduled terms, SOP 98-5 has no effect on SNB Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries.

(8) Income Taxes

Generally accepted accounting principles require 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.

The components of income tax expense for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

	2000	1999	1998
Current Federal Expense	$1,798,383	$1,513,599	$1,294,056
Deferred Federal Expense	(155,369)	(79,736)	(12,007)
	1,643,014	1,433,863	1,282,049
Current State Tax Expense	213,894	95,433	100,894
	$1,856,908	$1,529,296	$1,382,943

Federal income tax expense of $1,643,014 in 2000, $1,433,863 in 1999 and $1,282,049 in 1998 is less than the income taxes computed by applying the federal statutory rate of 34 percent to income before income taxes. The reasons for the differences are as follows:

	2000	1999	1998
Statutory Federal Income Taxes	$1,814,293	$1,623,320	$1,261,369
Tax-Exempt Interest	(140,585)	(115,534)	(133,487)

(15) Noncompensatory Stock Option Plan

During 1996, the board of directors of SNB Bancshares, Inc. adopted the 1996 incentive stock option plan which granted key officers the right to purchase 62,500 shares of common stock at the price of $9.00, as adjusted for stock splits, representing the market value of the stock at the date of the option grant. Option holders may exercise in accordance with a vesting schedule beginning with 20 percent the first year and increasing 20 percent for each year thereafter such that 100 percent of granted options may be exercised by the end of the fifth year. Unexercised options expire at the end of the tenth year.

In 1999, the board of directors of SNB Bancshares, Inc. adopted another incentive stock option plan which authorizes 125,000 shares to be granted to certain officers and key employees. Those officers and key employees are granted the right to purchase shares of common stock at a price representing the market value of the stock at the date of the option grant. In May 1999, 73,500 options were granted at the price of $18.50 per share and an additional 10,000 options were granted at $17.94 per share in September 1999. An additional 25,500 options were granted at $13.00 per share in August 2000 under this same plan.

(18) Earnings Per Share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 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 shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting periods. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if warrants and options were exercised and converted into common stock. The following presents earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 under the requirements of Statement 128:

December 31, 2000	Income Numerator	Common Shares Denominator	EPS

All share and per share data have been restated to reflect a 25 percent stock split occurring on September 25, 1998. The stock split was effected in the form of a dividend.

In October 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123). Statement 123 establishes a "fair value" based method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans and encourages all entities to adopt that method of accounting for all of their employee stock compensation plans. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (Opinion 25). Entities electing to remain with the accounting in Opinion 25 must make proforma disclosures of net income and earnings per share, as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in Statement 123 had been applied. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Under the intrinsic value based method, compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. SNB Bancshares, Inc. continues to follow Opinion 25 in accounting for its stock-based compensation awards; accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized in the financial statements. If compensation expenses were determined on the basis of Statement 123, net income and earnings per share would have been reduced as follows:

(21) Stock Split Effected as Dividend

On September 25, 1998, the board of directors approved a 25 percent stock split to be effected in the form of a dividend. All share and per share data including stock options and warrants have been adjusted to reflect the additional shares outstanding resulting from the stock split.

(22) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of SNB Bancshares' financial instruments are detailed below. Where quoted prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques. The use of discounted cash flows can be significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The following disclosures should not be considered a surrogate of the liquidation value of the Company, but rather a good-faith estimate of the increase or decrease in value of financial instruments held by the Company since purchase, origination or issuance.

Cash and Short-Term Investments - For cash, due from banks and federal funds sold, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities Available for Sale - Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices.

Loans - The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. For variable rate loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Deposit Liabilities - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Standby Letters of Credit - Because standby letters of credit are made using variable rates, the contract value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

The carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31 are as follows:

	2000		1999
	Carrying	Estimated	Carrying	Estimated
	Amount	Fair Value	Amount	Fair Value
	(in Thousands)
Assets
Cash and Short-Term Investments	$ 27,568	$ 27,568	$ 21,130	$ 21,130

Unfulfilled Loan Commitments	-	45,402	-	33,266

(22) Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include the mortgage banking operation, brokerage network, deferred income taxes and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

(23) Regulatory Capital Matters

The amount of dividends payable to the parent company from the Subsidiary banks is limited by various banking regulatory agencies. Upon approval by regulatory authorities, the bank may pay cash dividends to the parent company in excess of regulatory limitations.

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and, possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's capital amounts and classification 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 I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets. The amounts and ratios as defined in regulations are presented hereafter. Management believes, as of December 31, 2000, the Company meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and is classified as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. In the opinion of management, there are no conditions or events since prior notification of capital adequacy from the regulators that have changed the institution's category.

No significant intercompany transactions occurred between the Company and Crossroads Bank of Georgia, Inc. prior to the pooling of interests that would affect prior operations. There was no change in accounting policies or reporting periods as a result of the pooling of interests.

On July 31, 2000, Security Bank of Bibb County purchased the assets of Group Financial Southeast (dba Fairfield Financial) in a business combination accounted for as a purchase. The assets were placed in a newly formed subsidiary of Security Bank of Bibb County incorporated as Fairfield Financial Services, Inc. Fairfield Financial is primarily engaged in residential real estate mortgage lending in the state of Georgia. The results of operations of Fairfield Financial since the date of acquisition are included in the accompanying financial statements. The initial purchase price approximated $1.4 million, which consists of approximately $1.0 million in cash and 32,345 shares of SNB Bancshares stock valued at $388,140 at closing. The initial cost of the acquisition exceeded the fair value of the assets of Fairfield Financial by $988,000. The excess is recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on the straight-line method over 10 years.

The Asset Purchase Agreement provides for additional contingent payments of purchase price for years ending 2001-2005 based on the earnings of Fairfield Financial Services, Inc. The additional payments, if any, are to be payable in cash and stock. Cash payments for 2001 will equate to 60 percent of Fairfield Financial Services, Inc.'s earnings for the year. Stock payments for 2001 will be based on 40 percent of 2001 earnings utilizing a specific formula for determining number of shares. The number of shares issued during any year cannot exceed 75,000. The maximum number of shares under the agreement cannot exceed 300,000 for years 2001-2005. All additional payments of cash and stock will be charged to goodwill and amortized over the remaining years of the original 10-year amortization period. If Fairfield Financial sustains losses, no additional purchase price payments are due.

(25) Deferred Compensation Plan

A deferred compensation plan is maintained under which certain officers may elect to defer, until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency a portion of current compensation. The plan is created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. Interest is paid on such deferrals at a rate that is determined annually. The participants are general creditors of the Bank with respect to amounts deferred and interest additions. As of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, the liability under this plan totaled $119,985, $105,087 and $91,304, respectively.

(26) Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1999 financial statements to conform to the 2000 presentation.
