Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	-1	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Principles of Consolidation
	Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding company located in Fitzgerald, Georgia. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Colony Bank, 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.
	Nature of Operations
	The Company provides a full range of retail and commercial banking services for consumers and small- to medium-size businesses located primarily in central, south and coastal Georgia. Colony Bank is headquartered in Fitzgerald, Georgia with banking offices in Albany, Ashburn, Broxton, Centerville, Chester, Columbus, Cordele, Douglas, Eastman, Fitzgerald, Leesburg, Moultrie, Pitts, Quitman, Rochelle, Savannah, Soperton, Sylvester, Thomaston, Tifton, Valdosta and Warner Robins.  Lending and investing activities are funded primarily by deposits gathered through its retail banking 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 and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans.
	Reclassifications
	In certain instances, amounts reported in prior years’ consolidated financial statements and note disclosures have been reclassified to conform to statement presentations selected for 2014.  Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported stockholders’ equity or net income.
	Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Concentrations of credit risk can exist in relation to individual borrowers or groups of borrowers, certain types of collateral, certain types of industries or certain geographic regions.  The Company has a concentration in real estate loans as well as a geographic concentration that could pose an adverse credit risk, particularly with the current economic downturn in the real estate market.  At December 31, 2014, approximately 87 percent of the Company’s loan portfolio was concentrated in loans secured by real estate.  A substantial portion of borrowers’ ability to honor their contractual obligations is dependent upon the viability of the real estate economic sector.  The downturn of the housing and real estate market that began in 2007 resulted in an increase of problem loans secured by real estate, of which most are centered in the Company’s larger MSA markets.  Declining collateral real estate values that secure land development, construction and speculative real estate loans in the Company’s larger MSA markets have resulted in high loan loss provisions in recent years.  In addition, a large portion of the Company’s foreclosed assets are also located in these same geographic markets, making the recovery of the carrying amount of foreclosed assets susceptible to changes in market conditions.  Management continues to monitor these concentrations and has considered these concentrations in its allowance for loan loss analysis.
	The success of the Company is dependent, to a certain extent, upon the economic conditions in the geographic markets it serves.  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 the Company 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.
	At times, the Company may have cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions in excess of federal deposit insurance limits.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions whose credit rating is monitored by management to minimize credit risk.
	Investment Securities
	The Company classifies its investment 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.  Currently, no securities are classified as trading.  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 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 (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity.  Gains and losses from sales of securities available for sale are computed using the specific identification method.  Securities available for sale 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.
	The Company evaluates each held to maturity and available for sale security in a loss position for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI).  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers such factors as the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been below cost, the financial condition of the issuer and the Company’s intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis.  If the Company intends to sell or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down is recognized in earnings.  If the Company does not intend to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down is separated into an amount representing credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and an amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
	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 the accounting standards.  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.
	Loans Modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR)
	Loans are considered to have been modified in a TDR when, due to a borrower’s financial difficulty, the Company makes certain concessions to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider for new debt with similar risk characteristics.  Modifications may include interest rate reductions, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearance, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral.  Generally, a nonaccrual loan that has been modified in a TDR remains on nonaccrual status for a period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower is able to meet the terms of the modified loan.  However, performance prior to the modification, or significant events that coincide with the modification, are included in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual status at the time of loan modification or after a shorter performance period.  If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is uncertain, the loan remains on nonaccrual status. Once a loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring, it is accounted for as an impaired loan, regardless of its accrual status, until the loan is paid in full, sold or charged off.
	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.
	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, historical and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention.  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 historical component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  A general component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The general component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and historical losses in the portfolio.  General valuation allowances are based on internal and external qualitative risk factors such as (1) changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, (2) the extent of loan concentrations within the portfolio, (3) the effectiveness of the Company’s lending policies, procedures and internal controls, (4) the experience, ability and effectiveness of the Company’s lending management and staff, and (5) national and local economics and business conditions.
	Loans identified as losses by management, internal loan review and/or Bank examiners are charged off.
	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.
	A significant portion of the Company’s impaired loans are deemed to be collateral dependent.  Management therefore measures impairment on these loans based on the fair value of the collateral.  Collateral values are determined based on appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company or by senior members of the Company’s credit administration staff.  The decision whether to obtain an external third-party appraisal usually depends on the type of property being evaluated.  External appraisals are usually obtained on more complex, income producing properties such as hotels, shopping centers and businesses.  Less complex properties such as residential lots, farm land and single family houses may be evaluated internally by senior credit administration staff.  When the Company does obtain appraisals from external third-parties, the values utilized in the impairment calculation are “as is” or current market values.  The appraisals, whether prepared internally or externally, may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales, income and cost approach.  Appraised amounts used in the impairment calculation are typically discounted 10 percent to account for selling and marketing costs, if the repayment of the loan is to come from the sale of the collateral.  Although appraisals may not be obtained each year on all impaired loans, the collateral values used in the impairment calculations are evaluated quarterly by management.  Based on management’s knowledge of the collateral and the current real estate market conditions, appraised values may be further discounted to reflect facts and circumstances known to management since the initial appraisal was performed.
	Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Because of the high degree of judgment required in estimating the fair value of collateral underlying impaired loans and because of the relationship between fair value and general economic conditions, we consider the fair value of impaired loans to be highly sensitive to changes in market conditions.
	Premises and Equipment
	Premises and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation.
	Depreciation is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The estimated useful lives and methods of depreciation are as follows:
	Description		Life in Years	Method
	Banking Premises		15-40	Straight-Line and Accelerated
	Furniture and Equipment		10-May	Straight-Line and Accelerated
	Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  When property and equipment are retired or sold, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income or expense.
	Intangible Assets
	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.
	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, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreement to resell.  Cash flows from demand deposits, interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, loans and certificates of deposit are reported net.
	Securities Purchased Under Agreement to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
	The Company purchases certain securities under agreements to resell.  The amounts advanced under these agreements represent short-term loans and are reflected as assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
	The Company sells securities under agreements to repurchase.  These repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings.  The obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability and the securities underlying the agreements are reflected as assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
	Advertising Costs
	The Company expenses the cost of advertising in the periods in which those costs are incurred.
	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.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return.  The subsidiary pays its proportional share of federal income taxes to the Company based on its taxable income.
	The Company’s federal and state income tax returns for tax years 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Georgia Department of Revenue, generally for three years after filing.
	Positions taken in the Company’s tax returns may be subject to challenge by the taxing authorities upon examination.  Uncertain tax positions are initially recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.  Such tax positions are both initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts.  The Company provides for interest and, in some cases, penalties on tax positions that may be challenged by the taxing authorities. Interest expense is recognized beginning in the first period that such interest would begin accruing.  Penalties are recognized in the period that the Company claims the position in the tax return.  Interest and penalties on income tax uncertainties are classified within income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Other Real Estate
	Other real estate generally represents real estate acquired through foreclosure and is initially recorded at estimated fair value at the date of acquisition less the cost of disposal.  Losses from the acquisition of property in full or partial satisfaction of debt are recorded as loan losses.  Properties are evaluated regularly to ensure the recorded amounts are supported by current fair values, and valuation allowances are recorded as necessary to reduce the carrying amount to fair value less estimated cost of disposal.  Routine holding costs and gains or losses upon disposition are included in foreclosed property expense.
	Bank-Owned Life Insurance
	The Company has purchased life insurance on the lives of certain key members of management and directors.  The life insurance policies are recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or amounts due that are probable at settlement, if applicable.  Increases in the cash surrender value are recorded as other income in the consolidated statements of income.  The cash surrender value of the insurance contracts is recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $14,530,851 and $13,940,176 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	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.  Such items are considered components of other comprehensive income (loss).  Accounting standards codification requires the presentation in the consolidated financial statements of net income and all items of other comprehensive income (loss) as total comprehensive income (loss).
	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 on the balance sheet when they are funded.
	Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2014-01, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. ASU 2014-01 permits reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met.  Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit).  For those investments in qualified affordable housing projects not accounted for using the proportional amortization method, the investment should be accounted for as an equity method investment or a cost method investment in accordance with ASC 970-323.   ASU 2014-01 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, and will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40):  Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs; that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  ASU 2014-09 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company is still evaluating the potential impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860). ASU 2014-11 requires that repurchase-to-maturity transactions be accounted for as secured borrowings consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. In addition, ASU 2014-11 requires separate accounting for repurchase financings, which entails the transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty. ASU 2014-11 requires entities to disclose certain information about transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements. In addition, ASU 2014-11 requires disclosures related to collateral, remaining contractual tenor and of the potential risks associated with repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and repurchase-to-maturity transactions. ASU 2014-11 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-14, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments require a mortgage loan to be derecognized and a separate receivable to be recognized upon foreclosure if the loan has a government guarantee that is nonseparable from the loan before foreclosure, the creditor has the ability and intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor, and any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Additionally, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor upon foreclosure. The amendments are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management does not believe the amendments will have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.  ASU 2014-15 explicitly requires management to evaluate, at each annual or interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that exist which raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures.  ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or 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 December 31, 2014, the debt securities with unrealized losses have depreciated 2.90 percent from the Company’s amortized cost basis. These securities are guaranteed by either the U.S. Government, other governments or U.S. corporations.  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.  The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased.  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.  However, the Company did own one asset-backed security at December 31, 2014 which was completely written off during prior years.  This investment is comprised of one issuance of a trust preferred security and has a book value of $0.  Management evaluates this investment on a quarterly basis utilizing a third-party valuation model.  The results of this model revealed other-than-temporary impairment and as a result, $366,623 and $59,568 were written off during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	Commercial and agricultural loans are extended to a diverse group of businesses within the Company’s market area.  These loans are often underwritten based on the borrower’s ability to service the debt from income from the business.  Real estate construction loans often require loan funds to be advanced prior to completion of the project.  Due to uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs, changes in interest rates and other economic conditions, these loans often pose a higher risk than other types of loans.  Consumer loans are originated at the bank level.  These loans are generally smaller loan amounts spread across many individual borrowers to help minimize risk.
	Credit Quality Indicators.  As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (1) the risk grade assigned to commercial and consumer loans, (2) the level of classified commercial loans, (3) net charge-offs, (4) nonperforming loans, and (5) the general economic conditions in the Company’s geographic markets.
	The Company uses a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans.  Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 8.  A description of the general characteristics of the grades is as follows:
		·	Grades 1 and 2 - Borrowers with these assigned grades range in risk from virtual absence of risk to minimal risk.  Such loans may be secured by Company-issued and controlled certificates of deposit or properly margined equity securities or bonds.  Other loans comprising these grades are made to companies that have been in existence for a long period of time with many years of consecutive profits and strong equity, good liquidity, excellent debt service ability and unblemished past performance, or to exceptionally strong individuals with collateral of unquestioned value that fully secures the loans.  Loans in this category fall into the “pass” classification.
		·	Grades 3 and 4 - Loans assigned these “pass” risk grades are made to borrowers with acceptable credit quality and risk.  The risk ranges from loans with no significant weaknesses in repayment capacity and collateral protection to acceptable loans with one or more risk factors considered to be more than average.
		·	Grade 5 - This grade includes “special mention” loans on management’s watch list and is intended to be used on a temporary basis for pass grade loans where risk-modifying action is intended in the short-term.
		·	Grade 6 - This grade includes “substandard” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines.  This category includes borrowers with well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the payment of the debt in accordance with the agreed terms.  Loans considered to be impaired are assigned this grade, and these loans often have assigned loss allocations as part of the allowance for loan and lease losses.  Generally, loans on which interest accrual has been stopped would be included in this grade.
		·	Grades 7 and 8 - These grades correspond to regulatory classification definitions of “doubtful” and “loss,” respectively.  In practice, any loan with these grades would be for a very short period of time, and generally the Company has no loans with these assigned grades.  Management manages the Company’s problem loans in such a way that uncollectible loans or uncollectible portions of loans are charged off immediately with any residual, collectible amounts assigned a risk grade of 6.
	The following tables present the loan portfolio by credit quality indicator (risk grade) as of December 31. Those loans with a risk grade of 1, 2, 3 or 4 have been combined in the pass column for presentation purposes.

	A loan’s risk grade is assigned at the inception of the loan and is based on the financial strength of the borrower and the type of collateral.  Loan risk grades are subject to reassessment at various times throughout the year as part of the Company’s ongoing loan review process.  Loans with an assigned risk grade of 6 or below and an outstanding balance of $250,000 or more are reassessed on a quarterly basis.  During this reassessment process individual reserves may be identified and placed against certain loans which are not considered impaired.
	In assessing the overall economic condition of the markets in which it operates, the Company monitors the unemployment rates for its major service areas.  The unemployment rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis as part of the allowance for loan loss determination.
	Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due.  Generally, loans are placed on nonaccrual status if principal or interest payments become 90 days past due or when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provision.  Loans may be placed on nonaccrual status regardless of whether such loans are considered past due.
	The following table represents an age analysis of past due loans and nonaccrual loans, segregated by class of loans, as of December 31:

During its review of impaired loans, the Company determined the majority of its exposures on these loans were known losses.  As a result, the exposures were charged off, reducing the specific allowances on impaired loans.  Had nonaccrual loans performed in accordance with their original contractual terms, the Company would have recognized additional interest income of approximately $591,900, $968,700 and $1,634,600 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs) are troubled loans on which the original terms of the loan have been modified in favor of the borrower due to deterioration in the borrower’s financial condition.  Each potential loan modification is reviewed individually and the terms of the loan are modified to meet the borrower’s specific circumstances at a point in time.  Not all loan modifications are TDRs.  Loan modifications are reviewed and approved by the Company’s senior lending staff, who then determine whether the loan meets the criteria for a TDR.  Generally, the types of concessions granted to borrowers that are evaluated in determining whether a loan is classified as a TDR include:
	·	Interest rate reductions - Occur when the stated interest rate is reduced to a nonmarket rate or a rate the borrower would not be able to obtain elsewhere under similar circumstances.
	·	Amortization or maturity date changes - Result when the amortization period of the loan is extended beyond what is considered a normal amortization period for loans of similar type with similar collateral.
	·	Principal reductions - These are often the result of commercial real estate loan workouts where two new notes are created.  The primary note is underwritten based upon our normal underwriting standards and is structured so that the projected cash flows are sufficient to repay the contractual principal and interest of the newly restructured note.  The terms of the secondary note vary by situation and often involve that note being charged off, or the principal and interest payments being deferred until after the primary note has been repaid.  In situations where a portion of the note is charged off during modification, there is often no specific reserve allocated to those loans.  This is due to the fact that the amount of the charge-off usually represents the excess of the original loan balance over the collateral value and the Company has determined there is no additional exposure on those loans.
As discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, once a loan is identified as a TDR, it is accounted for as an impaired loan.  The Company had no unfunded commitments to lend to a customer that has a troubled debt restructured loan as of December 31, 2014.  The following tables present the number of loan contracts restructured during the 12 months ended December 31, 2014 and the pre- and post-modification recorded investment as well as the number of contracts and the recorded investment for those TDRs modified during the previous 12 months which subsequently defaulted during the period.  Loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring are considered to be in default once the loan becomes 90 days past due.

	The loss history period used at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was based on the loss rate from the eight quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  During 2012, the Company changed its loss history period used in calculating the ALLL from a one-year average to a rolling eight-quarter average.   At December 31, 2012 the loss history period used was based on the annual loss rate from calendar year 2011 and the first three quarters of 2012.
	During 2014 management changed its methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses to better reflect the estimated losses inherent in the portfolio.  Specific changes included:
		·	Reducing the historical loss ratios by including loan loss recoveries in the calculation.  Previously, management only included the loan charge-off amount and did not consider the effect of subsequent recoveries.
		·	Reducing the balance of those loans which are guaranteed by government agencies, such as SBA loans.  Previously, the entire balance of such loans was considered in the calculation of the general reserves; however, beginning in 2014, only the non-guaranteed portion of these loans is subject to the loss calculation.
	Management feels these changes better align the calculation of the allowance for loan losses with the direction of the loan portfolio.  These changes did not result in a significant change to the recorded allowance for loan loss balance.
	During the third quarter of 2013, management implemented a change to its methodology for calculating the allowance for loan losses.  This change was intended to better reflect the current position of the loan portfolio.  Prior to the third quarter, the allowance for loan loss calculation incorporated a qualitative factor related to improvements in credit administration.  These improvements, which began in 2008, included organizational changes to credit administration, specifically related to managing past due loans, grading of loans, recognition of losses and underwriting of new loans.  Primary among the organizational changes was the appointment of experienced lending officers to oversee the lending function, as well as the appointment of a chief credit officer.  Management feels these organizational changes are now fully implemented, as evidenced by a lower charge-off rate, and therefore, the qualitative factor is no longer relevant.  The removal of this qualitative factor did not result in a significant adjustment to the recorded allowance for loan loss balance.
	The Company determines its individual reserves during its quarterly review of substandard loans.  This process involves reviewing all loans with a risk grade of 6 or greater and an outstanding balance of $250,000 or more, regardless of the loans impairment classification.  Effective March 31, 2013, management increased the dollar threshold of this review process from $50,000 to $250,000.  The threshold change resulted in loans totaling $4.1 million at December 31, 2013 being removed from the individual impairment review process and being placed in the collective review process.
	Since not all loans in the substandard category are considered impaired, this quarterly review process may result in the identification of specific reserves on nonimpaired loans.  Management considers those loans graded substandard, but not classified as impaired, to be higher risk loans and, therefore, makes specific allocations to the allowance for those loans if warranted.  The total of such loans is $9,356,253 and $6,664,935 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Specific allowance allocations were made for these loans totaling $747,982 and $260,742 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Since these loans are not considered impaired, both the loan balance and related specific allocation are included in the “Collectively Evaluated for Impairment” column of the following tables.
	At December 31, 2014, impaired loans totaling $3,885,411 were below the $250,000 review threshold and were not individually reviewed for impairment.  Those loans were subject to the Bank’s general loan loss reserve methodology and are included in the “Collectively Evaluated for Impairment” column of the following tables.  Likewise, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, impaired loans totaling $2,821,199 and $1,026,624, respectively, were below the $250,000 and $50,000 review threshold and were subject to the bank’s general loan loss reserve methodology and are included in the “Collectively Evaluated for Impairment” column of the following tables.

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 these offerings were used to fund certain acquisitions, pay off holding Company debt and inject capital into the bank subsidiary.

On February 13, 2012, the Company announced the suspension of the quarterly interest payments on the Trust Preferred Securities.  Under the terms of the trust documents, the Company may defer payments of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty.  On November 17, 2014, the Company reinstated interest payments on the Trust Preferred Securities and paid $1,069,695 to bring to current status.

Preferred Stock	-13	Preferred Stock
	At December 31, 2014, the Company had 28,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the Preferred Stock) issued and outstanding with private investors.  The Company also had a warrant (the Warrant) to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding with private investors.  Both the Preferred Stock and the Warrant originated in 2009 through transactions with the United States Department of the Treasury and were subsequently sold to the public through an auction process during 2013.
	The Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and is nonvoting, other than class voting rights on certain matters that could adversely affect the Preferred Stock.  The Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company at the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.  The Warrant may be exercised on or before January 9, 2019 at an exercise price of $8.40 per share.  No voting rights may be exercised with respect to the shares of the Warrant until the Warrant has been exercised.
	The Preferred Stock requires a cumulative cash dividend be paid quarterly at a rate of 9 percent per annum.  Prior to January 9, 2014 the annual dividend rate for the Preferred Stock was 5 percent.  Unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock must be declared and set aside for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Stock before any dividend may be declared on common stock.  On February 13, 2012, the Company announced the suspension of dividends on Preferred Stock.  On November 17, 2014, the Company reinstated dividend payments on the Preferred Stock and paid $5,492,749 of accumulated dividends in arrears to the holders of the Preferred Stock.

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	(16) 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 December 31, 2014 and 2013, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
		Contract Amount
		2014		2013
	Commitments to Extend Credit	$	68,742,000	$	65,688,000
	Standby Letters of Credit		1,762,000		1,411,000
	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.
	Legal Contingencies.  In the ordinary course of business, there are various legal proceedings pending against Colony and its subsidiary.  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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	-20	Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
	Generally accepted accounting standards in the U.S. require 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 Colony Bankcorp, Inc. and Subsidiary’s financial instruments are detailed hereafter.  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, bank-owned deposits and federal funds sold, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value and is classified Level 1.
	Investment Securities - Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices where available and classified as Level 1.  If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments and classified as Level 2.  If a comparable is not available, the investment securities are classified as Level 3.
	Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates carrying value and is classified as Level 1.
	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.  Most loans are classified as Level 2, but impaired loans with a related allowance are classified as Level 3.
	Bank-Owned Life Insurance - The carrying value of bank-owned life insurance policies approximates fair value and is classified as Level 1.
	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 and is classified as Level 1.  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 and is classified as Level 2.
	Subordinated Debentures - Fair value approximates carrying value due to the variable interest rates of the subordinated debentures.  Subordinated Debentures are classified as Level 1.
	Other Borrowed Money - The fair value of other borrowed money is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows using an estimated interest rate based on current rates available to the Company for debt of similar remaining maturities and collateral terms. Other borrowed money is classified as Level 2 due to their expected maturities.
	The carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of December 31 are as follows:

	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 Company’s 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 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.
	Fair Value Measurements
	Generally accepted accounting principles related to Fair Value Measurements define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, establish a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhance disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.  The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.  The three levels are defined as follows:
		·	Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
		·	Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
		·	Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and represent the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
	Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:
	Assets
	Securities - Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  Level 1 inputs include securities that have quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow.  Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and certain high-yield debt securities.  In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.  When measuring fair value, the valuation techniques available under the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach are used.  The Company’s evaluations are based on market data and the Company employs combinations of these approaches for its valuation methods depending on the asset class.
	Impaired Loans - Impaired loans are those loans which the Company has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral.  Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds.  These assets are included as level 3 fair values, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.
	Other Real Estate - Other real estate owned assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned.  Typically, an external, third-party appraisal is performed on the collateral upon transfer into the other real estate owned account to determine the asset’s fair value.  Subsequent adjustments to the collateral’s value may be based upon either updated third-party appraisals or management’s knowledge of the collateral and the current real estate market conditions.   Appraised amounts used in determining the asset’s fair value, whether internally or externally prepared, are discounted 10 percent to account for selling and marketing costs.  Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Because of the high degree of judgment required in estimating the fair value of other real estate owned assets and because of the relationship between fair value and general economic conditions, we consider the fair value of other real estate owned assets to be highly sensitive to changes in market conditions.
	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis - The following table presents the recorded amount of the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.  The table below includes only impaired loans with a specific reserve and only other real estate properties with a valuation allowance at December 31, 2013.  Those impaired loans and other real estate properties are shown net of the related specific reserves and valuation allowances.

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out of levels 1, 2 and 3 as of the end of a reporting period.  During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company had transfers out of level 3 and into level 2.  The transfers out of level 3 were the result of increased market activity for these types of securities, as well as more current credit ratings on these securities.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company transferred certain state, county and municipal securities out of level 2 and into     level 3.  The transfers into level 3 were the result of decreased market activity for these types of securities, as well as a lack of current credit ratings on these securities.  There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of the transfers.  There were no transfers of securities between level 1 and level 2 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012.

	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 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 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, 2014, 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.
	The following table summarizes regulatory capital information as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 on a consolidated basis and for its wholly-owned subsidiary, as defined:

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	-23	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of restricted stock and common stock warrants.  Net income available to common stockholders represents net income (loss) after preferred stock dividends.  The following table presents earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation
	Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding company located in Fitzgerald, Georgia. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Colony Bankcorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Colony Bank, 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.
Nature of Operations	Nature of Operations
	The Company provides a full range of retail and commercial banking services for consumers and small- to medium-size businesses located primarily in central, south and coastal Georgia. Colony Bank is headquartered in Fitzgerald, Georgia with banking offices in Albany, Ashburn, Broxton, Centerville, Chester, Columbus, Cordele, Douglas, Eastman, Fitzgerald, Leesburg, Moultrie, Pitts, Quitman, Rochelle, Savannah, Soperton, Sylvester, Thomaston, Tifton, Valdosta and Warner Robins.  Lending and investing activities are funded primarily by deposits gathered through its retail banking office network.
Use of Estimates	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 and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications
	In certain instances, amounts reported in prior years’ consolidated financial statements and note disclosures have been reclassified to conform to statement presentations selected for 2014.  Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported stockholders’ equity or net income.
Concentrations of Credit Risk	Concentrations of Credit Risk
	Concentrations of credit risk can exist in relation to individual borrowers or groups of borrowers, certain types of collateral, certain types of industries or certain geographic regions.  The Company has a concentration in real estate loans as well as a geographic concentration that could pose an adverse credit risk, particularly with the current economic downturn in the real estate market.  At December 31, 2014, approximately 87 percent of the Company’s loan portfolio was concentrated in loans secured by real estate.  A substantial portion of borrowers’ ability to honor their contractual obligations is dependent upon the viability of the real estate economic sector.  The downturn of the housing and real estate market that began in 2007 resulted in an increase of problem loans secured by real estate, of which most are centered in the Company’s larger MSA markets.  Declining collateral real estate values that secure land development, construction and speculative real estate loans in the Company’s larger MSA markets have resulted in high loan loss provisions in recent years.  In addition, a large portion of the Company’s foreclosed assets are also located in these same geographic markets, making the recovery of the carrying amount of foreclosed assets susceptible to changes in market conditions.  Management continues to monitor these concentrations and has considered these concentrations in its allowance for loan loss analysis.
	The success of the Company is dependent, to a certain extent, upon the economic conditions in the geographic markets it serves.  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 the Company 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.
	At times, the Company may have cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions in excess of federal deposit insurance limits.  The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions whose credit rating is monitored by management to minimize credit risk.
Investment Securities	Investment Securities
	The Company classifies its investment 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.  Currently, no securities are classified as trading.  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 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 (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity.  Gains and losses from sales of securities available for sale are computed using the specific identification method.  Securities available for sale 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.
	The Company evaluates each held to maturity and available for sale security in a loss position for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI).  In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers such factors as the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been below cost, the financial condition of the issuer and the Company’s intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before anticipated recovery of the amortized cost basis.  If the Company intends to sell or if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down is recognized in earnings.  If the Company does not intend to sell the security or it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery, the OTTI write-down is separated into an amount representing credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and an amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock	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 the accounting standards.  The FHLB stock is reported in the consolidated financial statements at cost.  Dividend income is recognized when earned.
Loans	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.
Loans Modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR)	Loans Modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR)
	Loans are considered to have been modified in a TDR when, due to a borrower’s financial difficulty, the Company makes certain concessions to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider for new debt with similar risk characteristics.  Modifications may include interest rate reductions, principal or interest forgiveness, forbearance, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral.  Generally, a nonaccrual loan that has been modified in a TDR remains on nonaccrual status for a period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower is able to meet the terms of the modified loan.  However, performance prior to the modification, or significant events that coincide with the modification, are included in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and may result in the loan being returned to accrual status at the time of loan modification or after a shorter performance period.  If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is uncertain, the loan remains on nonaccrual status. Once a loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring, it is accounted for as an impaired loan, regardless of its accrual status, until the loan is paid in full, sold or charged off.
Allowance for Loan Losses	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.
	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, historical and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention.  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 historical component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  A general component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses.  The general component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and historical losses in the portfolio.  General valuation allowances are based on internal and external qualitative risk factors such as (1) changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, (2) the extent of loan concentrations within the portfolio, (3) the effectiveness of the Company’s lending policies, procedures and internal controls, (4) the experience, ability and effectiveness of the Company’s lending management and staff, and (5) national and local economics and business conditions.
	Loans identified as losses by management, internal loan review and/or Bank examiners are charged off.
	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.
	A significant portion of the Company’s impaired loans are deemed to be collateral dependent.  Management therefore measures impairment on these loans based on the fair value of the collateral.  Collateral values are determined based on appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company or by senior members of the Company’s credit administration staff.  The decision whether to obtain an external third-party appraisal usually depends on the type of property being evaluated.  External appraisals are usually obtained on more complex, income producing properties such as hotels, shopping centers and businesses.  Less complex properties such as residential lots, farm land and single family houses may be evaluated internally by senior credit administration staff.  When the Company does obtain appraisals from external third-parties, the values utilized in the impairment calculation are “as is” or current market values.  The appraisals, whether prepared internally or externally, may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales, income and cost approach.  Appraised amounts used in the impairment calculation are typically discounted 10 percent to account for selling and marketing costs, if the repayment of the loan is to come from the sale of the collateral.  Although appraisals may not be obtained each year on all impaired loans, the collateral values used in the impairment calculations are evaluated quarterly by management.  Based on management’s knowledge of the collateral and the current real estate market conditions, appraised values may be further discounted to reflect facts and circumstances known to management since the initial appraisal was performed.
	Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available.  Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Because of the high degree of judgment required in estimating the fair value of collateral underlying impaired loans and because of the relationship between fair value and general economic conditions, we consider the fair value of impaired loans to be highly sensitive to changes in market conditions.
Premises and Equipment	Premises and Equipment
	Premises and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation.
	Depreciation is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The estimated useful lives and methods of depreciation are as follows:
	Description	Life in Years	Method
	Banking Premises	15-40	Straight-Line and Accelerated
	Furniture and Equipment	10-May	Straight-Line and Accelerated
	Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  When property and equipment are retired or sold, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income or expense.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets
	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.
Transfers of Financial Assets	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	Statement of Cash Flows
	For reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, noninterest-bearing amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreement to resell.  Cash flows from demand deposits, interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, loans and certificates of deposit are reported net.
Securities Purchased Under Agreement to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase	Securities Purchased Under Agreement to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
	The Company purchases certain securities under agreements to resell.  The amounts advanced under these agreements represent short-term loans and are reflected as assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
	The Company sells securities under agreements to repurchase.  These repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings.  The obligations to repurchase securities sold are reflected as a liability and the securities underlying the agreements are reflected as assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs
	The Company expenses the cost of advertising in the periods in which those costs are incurred.
Income Taxes	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.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return.  The subsidiary pays its proportional share of federal income taxes to the Company based on its taxable income.
	The Company’s federal and state income tax returns for tax years 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Georgia Department of Revenue, generally for three years after filing.
	Positions taken in the Company’s tax returns may be subject to challenge by the taxing authorities upon examination.  Uncertain tax positions are initially recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities.  Such tax positions are both initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts.  The Company provides for interest and, in some cases, penalties on tax positions that may be challenged by the taxing authorities. Interest expense is recognized beginning in the first period that such interest would begin accruing.  Penalties are recognized in the period that the Company claims the position in the tax return.  Interest and penalties on income tax uncertainties are classified within income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Other Real Estate	Other Real Estate
	Other real estate generally represents real estate acquired through foreclosure and is initially recorded at estimated fair value at the date of acquisition less the cost of disposal.  Losses from the acquisition of property in full or partial satisfaction of debt are recorded as loan losses.  Properties are evaluated regularly to ensure the recorded amounts are supported by current fair values, and valuation allowances are recorded as necessary to reduce the carrying amount to fair value less estimated cost of disposal.  Routine holding costs and gains or losses upon disposition are included in foreclosed property expense.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance	Bank-Owned Life Insurance
	The Company has purchased life insurance on the lives of certain key members of management and directors.  The life insurance policies are recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or amounts due that are probable at settlement, if applicable.  Increases in the cash surrender value are recorded as other income in the consolidated statements of income.  The cash surrender value of the insurance contracts is recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $14,530,851 and $13,940,176 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Comprehensive Income	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.  Such items are considered components of other comprehensive income (loss).  Accounting standards codification requires the presentation in the consolidated financial statements of net income and all items of other comprehensive income (loss) as total comprehensive income (loss).
Off-Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments	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 on the balance sheet when they are funded.
Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements	Changes in Accounting Principles and Effects of New Accounting Pronouncements
	ASU 2014-01, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. ASU 2014-01 permits reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met.  Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit).  For those investments in qualified affordable housing projects not accounted for using the proportional amortization method, the investment should be accounted for as an equity method investment or a cost method investment in accordance with ASC 970-323.   ASU 2014-01 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, and will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40):  Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs; that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in-substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  ASU 2014-09 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company is still evaluating the potential impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	ASU 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860). ASU 2014-11 requires that repurchase-to-maturity transactions be accounted for as secured borrowings consistent with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. In addition, ASU 2014-11 requires separate accounting for repurchase financings, which entails the transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty. ASU 2014-11 requires entities to disclose certain information about transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are economically similar to repurchase agreements. In addition, ASU 2014-11 requires disclosures related to collateral, remaining contractual tenor and of the potential risks associated with repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and repurchase-to-maturity transactions. ASU 2014-11 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	ASU 2014-14, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The amendments require a mortgage loan to be derecognized and a separate receivable to be recognized upon foreclosure if the loan has a government guarantee that is nonseparable from the loan before foreclosure, the creditor has the ability and intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor, and any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Additionally, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor upon foreclosure. The amendments are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management does not believe the amendments will have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.  ASU 2014-15 explicitly requires management to evaluate, at each annual or interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events that exist which raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures.  ASU 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and annual and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.  The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
