(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of
    Community National Corporation and subsidiary have been prepared
    in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB.  To the extent
    that information and footnotes required by generally accepted
    accounting principles for complete financial statements are
    contained in the audited financial statements included in the
    Corporation's Annual Report for year ended December 31, 1997,
    such information and footnotes have not been duplicated herein. 
    In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only
    of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair
    presentation of the interim financial statements have been
    included.  The statements of earnings for the quarter and six
    month's ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of
    the results which may be expected for the entire year.  The
    December 31, 1997 consolidated balance sheet has been derived
    form the audited consolidated financial statements as of  that
    date.
    
(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE
    
    Net earnings per share of common stock for the nine months ended
    September 30, 1997 and the nine month period ended September 30,
    1998 of $0.55 and $0.29 were computed by dividing the net income
    by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the
    year.  All per share amounts prior to December 11, 1997, the
    date of reorganization, have been adjusted for the exchange rate
    of 2.581243.  Diluted earnings per share has not been presented
    because the Company has a simple capital structure.
    
(3) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
    
    The Company adopted FASB Statement no. 130, Reporting
    Comprehensive Income in 1998.  All periods presented are in
    accordance with SAFS 130.  Statement no. 130 requires the
    reporting of comprehensive income in addition to net income form
    operations.  Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial
    reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain
    financial information that historically has not been recognized
    in the calculation of net income.  This comprehensive income
    consists of securities classified as available-for-sale by the
    Company.

(4) YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
    
    The year 2000 poses many challenges for the banking industry. 
    Many automated applications may cease to properly function as a
    result of how date fields have historically been programmed. 
    Many programs were designed and developed without considering
    the impact of the upcoming change in the century.  Failure to
    address this issue in a timely manner may cause banking
    institutions to experience operational problems and could cause
    disruption of financial markets.  Many experts believe that even
    the most prepared organizations may encounter some
    implementation problems.  As a result, Community National Bank
    has developed a Year 2000 Strategic Plan (the "Plan") to take
    the necessary steps to insure that problems and disruptions are
    minimized.
    
    The bank's data processing system is outsourced to Intrieve, a
    service bureau that services the majority of all thrifts and
    savings and loans throughout the nation.  All systems including
    all bank PC's are integrated with the service bureau
    applications.  Over $200,000 has been spent on upgrading all
    equipment, software and systems.  This was done principally to
    modernize operations, but a substantial portion of this
    investment would have been required for Year 2000 compliance
    alone.  Final testing for Year 2000 compliance has been
    completed with all applications performing with Year 2000 dates. 
    Successful tests have been completed with all vendors and
    correspondents with which the bank directly interfaces.  The
    bank is Year 2000 compliant at this point.  Additional testing
    will be made during 1999 to check and reinforce compliance
    readiness.  Should any unforeseen glitches arise the bank has a
    contingency plan with several alternatives to meet the worst
    case scenario.
    
    The bank's customers have been notified and couseled.  All
    commercial customers with Year 2000 requirements have been
    couseled one on one with compliance assured to the bank's
    satisfaction.
    
    The cost of addressing the Year 2000 issue has had no material
    impact on earnings since the expenditures meeting Year 2000
    requirements were required and planned for modernization alone. 
    With testing reflecting compliance to date, there are no
    indications of material impact on earnings or uncertainty of
    future operation results or financial condition.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   
GENERAL
    
     Community National Corporation (the "Company") was 
incorporated under the laws of the State of Tennessee for the
purpose of holding all of the capital stock of Lexington First
Federal Savings Bank ("Lexington First Federal") following the
second step conversion of its former mutual holding company (the
"Conversion and Reorganization"), which was completed on
December 11, 1997.  The Company's principal business is that of
directing, planning and coordinating the business activities of
the Bank.  Immediately following the Conversion and
Reorganization, Lexington First Federal converted to a national
bank with the name Community National Bank of Tennessee (the
"Bank") and remained a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
(the "Bank Conversion").  Upon the completion of the Bank
Conversion, the Company became a bank holding company.  The
Company has no significant assets other than its investment in
the Bank, and certain cash and cash equivalents.  At December
31, 1997, on a consolidated basis, the Company had total assets
of $31.2 million, net loans receivable of $19.5 million, cash
and investment securities of $6.4 million, mortgage-backed
securities of $4.0 million, total deposits of $21.4 million and
stockholders' equity of $8.6 million.
    

     The Bank is a national bank operating through its office
in Lexington, Tennessee, serving Henderson County in
southwestern Tennessee.  The Bank is the successor to Lexington
First Federal.  Therefore, all references to the Bank also
include its predecessor, Lexington First Federal.  Until
February 1997, the Bank's primary business, as conducted through
its office located in Lexington, Tennessee, was the origination
and holding of mortgage loans secured by single-family
residential real estate located primarily in Henderson County,
Tennessee, with funds obtained primarily through the attraction
of savings deposits, certificate accounts with terms of 18
months or less, and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances. 
The Bank also made some construction loans on single-family
residences, savings account loans, and second mortgage consumer
loans.  The Bank purchased mortgage-backed securities, and
invested in other liquid investment securities.
    
     Beginning in February 1997, the Bank's emphasis shifted to
full service banking, diversification of the loan portfolio, the
origination of long term fixed rate mortgage loans solely for
sale in the secondary market, and the offering of a greater
variety of transaction accounts.  Current Bank policy restricts
fixed rate loans to five years with limited exceptions.  The
reduction and control of interest rate risk, and the origination
of variable rate loans, short term loans and balloon loans of
one, two, three and five years are emphasized.  The Bank's
emphasis is the diversification in the portfolio with quality
consumer and commercial loans in order to both reduce and
control interest rate risk, and to increase the interest rate
spread.
                              9<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     As a bank holding company, the Company is registered with,
and subject to regulation and examination by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve
Board").  The Bank is subject to comprehensive examination,
supervision, and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency ("OCC").  Because the Bank was formerly chartered
as a savings association, the Bank's deposits are insured by the
Savings.
                                                                
    Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to the applicable limits for
each depositor.
    
     The Company's principal executive office is located at the
home office of the Bank at 19 Natchez Trace Drive, Lexington,
Tennessee 38351, and its telephone number is (901) 968-6624. 
The branch building is located is at 435 West Church Street, and
its phone number is (901) 968-9599.
    
     The Bank is primarily engaged in attracting deposits from
the general public and using those and other available sources
of funds to originate loans secured by single-family residences
located in Henderson County and surrounding counties in West
Tennessee.  To a lesser extent, Lexington also originates
construction loans, land loans and consumer loans.  It also has
a significant amount of investments in mortgage-backed
securities, United States Government and federal agency
obligations, and tax exempt securities.
    
     The profitability of the Bank depends primarily on its net
interest income, which is the difference between interest and
dividend income on interest-earning assets, principally loans,
mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, and
interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. 
The Bank's net income also is dependent, to a lesser extent, on
the level of its noninterest income and its non-interest
expenses, such as compensation and benefits, occupancy and
equipment, insurance premiums, and miscellaneous other expenses,
as well as federal income tax expense.  
    
FINANCIAL CONDITION
    
Consolidated assets of Community National were $35,641,449 as of 
September 30, 1998, compared to $31,215,702 on December 31,
1997, an increase of $4,425,747.  This increase was composed of
an increase in net loans receivable of $4,299,273, an increase
in premises and equipment of $241,210, and an increase in cash
of $996,278.  These increases were offset by  decreases in
mortgage backed securities of $891,602 and in investment
securities of $317,256.  The 19% annualized growth rate of
assets for the quarter is in accordance with the Company's
growth objectives.  The funds were used to purchase investment
securities, interest bearing deposits and to fund loan growth.

1998 from $19,544,222 on December 31, 1997, an increase of
$4,299,273.  Mortgage-backed securities decreased
                             10<PAGE>
<PAGE>
$891,602 to $3,126,670 at September 30, 1998 from $4,018,362 on
December 31, 1997.  The increase in loans is attributable to
increased advertising and more competitive loan products.  The
decrease in mortgage backed securities is primarily caused by
principal payments.

of 4,520,886 from $21,416,047 on December 31, 1997.  The
increase in deposits is primarily due to increased advertising
and was primarily used to fund the increase in loans receivable.
    
Stockholders' equity was $8,567,973 on December 31, 1997,
compared to $8,675,371 on September 30, 1998, an increase of
$107,398.  The increase was due to reductions in unrealized loss
on available-for-sale securities of $8,254, earnings for the
year of $206,076, off-set by the Company's quarterly cash
dividends of $106,932.
                                                                
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    
    
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1998 was
$77,372 compared to $67,731 as of  September 30, 1997.  The
increase of $9,641 was due to a increase in net interest income
of $97,808, offset by an increase in non-interest expense of
$67,997.
    
Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were
$206,076, an increase of $8,443  compared to $197,633 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997.  The increase was
primarily due to an increase in net interest income of  $273,813
offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $254,498.
    
Earnings per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1998,
were $0.11 per share based on an average of 712,866 shares
outstanding compared to $.19 per share for the comparable
quarter in 1997 based on an average of 362,131 shares
outstanding.
    
Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
were $0.29 per share based on an average of 712,866 shares
outstanding compared to $0.55 per share for the comparable nine
months ended in 1997 based on an average of 362,131 shares
outstanding.
    
Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 was $294,697 compared to
$214,580 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, an increase
of $80,117.  This increase was a result of interest income
increasing $137,414, from $513,084 in 1997 to $650,498  in 1998,
while interest expense increased $39,606 from $287,603 in 1997
to $327,209 in 1998.  The increase in interest income and
interest expense are both due to increases in the average
balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities.
    
Net interest income after provision for loan losses for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 was $858,730 compared to
$659,424 for the nine months ended September 30,
    
                             11<PAGE>
<PAGE>
1997, an increase of $199,306.  This increase was a result of
interest income increasing $351,803, from $1,511,935 in 1997 to
$1,863,738 in 1998, while interest expense increased $77,990
from $832,437 in 1997 to $910,427 in 1998.  The increase in
interest income and interest expense are both due to increases
in the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-
earning liabilities.
    
Non-interest income increased from $32,103 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997 to $39,805 for the quarter ended September
30, 1998.  The increase of $7,702 was due to higher service
charge income and an increase in other operating income.
    
Non-interest income increased from $74,710 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 to $117,241 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.  The increase of $42,531 was due to higher
service charge income.
    
The Company's non-interest expense for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 was $215,405 compared to $147,408 for the
comparable quarter in 1997.  The increase of $67,997 was due to
higher compensation and benefits expense, higher occupancy and
equipment expense and higher other operating expenses which were
caused by additional personnel hired, and computer system
upgrades in hardware and software.  
    
Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 was $674,127, an increase of $254,498 compared to $419,629
for the nine months ended for September 30, 1997.  The increase
was due to higher compensation and benefits expense, higher
occupancy and equipment expense and higher other operating
expenses which were caused by additional personnel hired, and
computer system upgrades in hardware and software.
    
PROVISIONS FOR LOAN LOSSES
    
The provision for loan losses is based on the periodic analysis
of the loan portfolio by management.  In establishing the
provision, management considers numerous factors including
general economic conditions, loan portfolio condition, prior
loss experience and independent analysis.  The provision for
loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 1998 was
$28,592, while the provision for the comparable quarter in 1997
was $10,901.  The provision for loan loss for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are $94,581 and $20,074
respectively.  Based upon the analysis of the addition to
established allowances and the composition of the loan
portfolio, management concluded that the allowance is adequate. 
While current economic conditions in the Bank's market are
stable, future conditions will dictate the level of future
allowances for losses on loans.
    
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
    
On September 30, 1998, non-performing assets were $632,205
compared to $352,245 on December 31, 1997.  At September 30,
1998, the Bank's allowance for loan losses was 
                             12<PAGE>
<PAGE>
$281,863 or 45% of non-performing assets compared to $195,239 or
55% at December 31, 1997.

Loans are considered non-performing when the collection of
principal and/or interest is not expected, or in the event,
payments are more than 90 days delinquent.
    
The allowance for loan losses was 1.18% of total loans as of 
September 30, 1998, compared to .99% at December 31, 1997.
    
REGULATORY CAPITAL
    
The Bank 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 Bank's
financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must
meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures if the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-
balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices.  The Bank's capital amounts and classification are
also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.
    
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure
capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts
and ratios on total risk-based capital and Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations) and Tier 1
capital to adjusted total assets (as defined).

LIQUIDITY
- ---------

The Bank's principal sources of funds for investments and
operations are net earnings, deposits from its primary market
area, principal and interest payments on loans and 

                            13<PAGE>
<PAGE>
mortgage-backed securities and proceeds from maturing investment
securities.  Its principal funding commitments are for the
origination or purchase of loans and the payment of maturing
deposits.  Deposits are considered a primary source of funds
supporting the Bank's lending and investment activities. 
Deposits were $26 million at  September 30, 1998.
                                                             
The Bank's is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid
assets as defined by regulations.  The required percentage is
currently five percent of net withdrawable savings deposits and
borrowings payable on demand or in one year or less.  The Bank
maintained a liquidity ratio of  22% at September 30, 1998.
                                                             
The bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents,
which are cash on hand, amount due from financial institutions,
federal funds sold, certificates of deposit with other financial
institutions that have an original maturity of three months or
less and money market mutual funds.  The levels of such assets
are dependent on the Bank's operating, financing and investment
activities at any given time.  The Bank's cash and cash
equivalents totaled  $3.74 million at  September 30, 1998.  The
variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced
by deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows.
                                                             
Net cash provided by operating activities increased from
199,213 for nine months ended  September 30, 1997 to 216,516 for
nine months ended September 30, 1998.  The increase was due to
the timing of income tax payments.

recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm
commitment, (b) a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows
of a forecasted transaction, or (c) a hedge of the foreign
currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation,
and unrecognized firm commitment, an availble-for-sale security,
or a foreign-currency-denominated forecasted transaction.
