CLOVER COMMUNITY BANKSHARES, INC.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Accounting  Policies - A summary of significant  accounting policies is included
in the  Company's  Annual  Report for the year ended  December  31, 1998 on Form
10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management  Opinion - In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  unaudited
consolidated  financial statements of Clover Community Bankshares,  Inc. reflect
all adjustments  necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods
presented. Such adjustments were of a normal, recurring nature.

Statement  of Cash  Flows -  Interest  paid on  deposits  and  other  borrowings
amounted to $1,245,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, and totaled
$1,261,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.  Income tax payments of
$316,000 were made during the first nine months of 1999, and income tax payments
of $405,000 were made in the 1998 period. Non-cash investment security valuation
adjustments decreased available-for-sale  securities by $319,000 during the 1999
period,  a related  shareholders'  equity account  decreased by $205,000 and the
associated  deferred  income taxes changed by $114,000.  During the 1998 period,
non-cash  valuation  adjustments  increased  available-for-sale   securities  by
$32,000,  increased  shareholders'  equity by $20,000, and deferred income taxes
changed by $12,000.

Nonperforming  Loans - As of September 30, 1999,  there were no nonaccrual loans
and no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing.

Earnings  Per Share - Earnings  per common share is computed on the basis of the
average number of shares outstanding during each period,  retroactively adjusted
to give effect to any stock  splits and stock  dividends.  The Company has never
had any dilutive potential common shares or dilutive stock options or warrants.

Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan - As of  February 4, 1999,  the Company  registered
50,000 shares of its authorized  but unissued  common stock for sale through its
Dividend  Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan").  Under the Plan, which is open only to
residents of South  Carolina,  shareholders  may purchase  additional  shares by
foregoing  the  payment in cash of cash  dividends  declared  by the Company and
instead  accepting  additional  stock.  Such shares of additional  stock will be
issued at a price set  arbitrarily  by the  Company  at four times the per share
book value of the Common Stock at the end of the month  preceding  the purchase.
There are no  provisions  for other  periodic  stock  purchases  under the Plan.
Shares issued under the Plan are newly issued shares.

Item 2. - Management's Discussion and Analysis

Forward Looking Statements

         Statements  included in Management's  Discussion and Analysis which are
not  historical  in nature are  intended  to be, and are  hereby  identified  as
"forward looking statements" for purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section
21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company  cautions
readers that forward looking  statements,  including without  limitation,  those
relating to the  Company's  response to the Year 2000 problem,  future  business
prospects,  revenues, working capital, liquidity, capital needs, interest costs,
and income,  are  subject to certain  risks and  uncertainties  that could cause
actual results to differ  materially from those indicated in the forward looking
statements,  due to several important factors herein  identified,  among others,
and  other  risks and  factors  identified  from  time to time in the  Company's
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Organization

         Clover Community  Bankshares,  Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on
March  4,  1998,  as a bank  holding  company  to  effect  a plan  of  corporate
reorganization  under  which  Clover  Community  Bank (the  "Bank")  became  its
wholly-owned  subsidiary  on June 5, 1998.  The  discussion  and figures in this
section   present   information   regarding   the  Company  since  the  date  of
reorganization and figures of the Bank prior to that date. Per share information
prior to the  reorganization is presented in terms of the current  equivalent of
the number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding.

         This discussion is intended to assist in understanding the consolidated
financial  condition and results of operations of Clover  Community  Bankshares,
Inc. and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Clover  Community Bank. The information
should be reviewed in  conjunction  with the  unaudited  consolidated  financial
statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

         The Company  recorded  consolidated  net income of $302,000 or $.29 per
share for the third  quarter of 1999.  These  results are  $50,000,  or $.04 per
share,  more than net income of $252,000 or $.25 per share for the third quarter
of 1998.  For the first nine months of 1999, the Company  recorded  consolidated
net income of $825,000  or $.81 per share,  compared  with  $718,000 or $.71 per
share in the same 1998 period.

         Comprehensive  income  incorporates into one measure all changes in the
Company's equity  resulting from recognized  transactions and economic events of
the period other than  transactions  with owners  acting in their  capacities as
owners. The major components of the Company's  comprehensive  income include net
income   (amounts   stated   above)   and   unrealized   gains  and   losses  on
available-for-sale investment securities. Changes in unrealized gains and losses
on investment  securities primarily are a function of three variables:  the size
of the investment portfolio, fluctuations in the levels of market interest rates
and the remaining  maturity  structure of the securities  held. As the levels of
market interest rates change, the market values of investment securities move in
an inverse  direction.  If interest  rates rise, the market values of securities
would be expected to decline.  Conversely, if interest rates fall, market values
of  securities  would be expected to increase.  Generally,  the market values of
securities  with  longer  remaining  maturities  rise or fall more,  in absolute
dollar terms, than do securities with shorter remaining maturities.

         During the first nine months of 1999,  market interest rates increased,
particularly  in the  maturity  ranges in which  the  Company's  securities  are
invested.  These  increased  rates resulted in decreases in the market values of
the Company's  investment  securities  totaling  $319,000  during the first nine
months of 1999.  Most of this decline was recorded in the second quarter of 1999
as market values in that three month period decreased $241,000. In computing the
effect of the declines on  comprehensive  income,  changes in deferred taxes are
netted  against the gross changes in market values.  Therefore,  the net changes
from securities valuation  adjustments reflected in comprehensive income for the
nine- and  three-month  periods ended September 30, 1999 were losses of $205,000
and $29,000,  respectively.  In 1998, a more stable  interest  rate  environment
contributed to these  components of other  comprehensive  income  reflecting net
unrealized  gains of $20,000  and $6,000  for the nine and three  month  periods
ended September 30, respectively.


                                       9

Net Interest Income

         Net interest income is the amount of interest income earned on interest
earning assets (loans,  securities,  interest  bearing  deposits in other banks,
federal funds sold and other investments), less the interest expense incurred on
interest bearing  liabilities  (interest bearing deposits and other borrowings),
and is the principal  source of the Company's  earnings.  Net interest income is
affected by the level of  interest  rates,  volume and mix of  interest  earning
assets  and  interest  bearing  liabilities  and the  relative  funding of these
assets.

         For analysis purposes,  interest income from tax-exempt  investments is
adjusted  to an amount  that would have to be earned on taxable  investments  to
produce the same after-tax yields,  assuming a 34% Federal income tax rate. This
adjusted  amount is referred to as fully  taxable  equivalent  ("FTE")  interest
income.

         For the  first  nine  months  of  1999,  FTE net  interest  income  was
$2,013,000,  an  increase of $83,000 or 4.3% over the first nine months of 1998.
The  increase in FTE net  interest  income was  achieved  primarily  through the
reduction of interest  rates paid on interest  bearing  liabilities  and through
increased  average  amounts of  interest  earning  assets and  interest  bearing
liabilities.  Average  interest  earning  assets  during  the 1999  period  were
$53,962,000,  an increase of  $2,924,000 or 5.7% over the  comparable  period of
1998.  Average  interest  bearing   liabilities  during  the  1999  period  were
$45,611,000,  representing an increase of $3,269,000 or 7.7% over the amount for
the same period of 1998.  The average  interest  rate spread  (average  yield on
interest  earning  assets  less  the  average  rate  paid  on  interest  bearing
liabilities)  for the first nine  months of 1999 was 4.43%,  an  increase  of 10
basis points from the 4.33%  realized for the same period of 1998.  Net yield on
earning assets (net interest income divided by average  interest earning assets)
was 4.99% for the first nine months of 1999,  a decrease of 7 basis  points from
the 5.06% for the first nine months of 1998.

         The  increases  in  interest   earning  assets  and  interest   bearing
liabilities  resulted  from the  Company's  continuing  marketing  strategies to
increase  its market  share in its local  service  area in York  County of South
Carolina.  Management  expects to continue to utilize such strategies during the
remainder  of 1999.  Decreases  in yields  earned and rates paid  resulted  from
previous  reductions in market rates of interest  which have not yet been offset
by the recently  increasing  rates  initiated by the Federal Reserve Bank in the
second and third quarters of 1999, and other competitive pressures.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

         No provisions for loan losses were made during the first nine months of
1999 and 1998. At September 30, 1999,  the allowance for loan losses was .92% of
loans,  compared  with .91% of loans at December 31, 1998.  During the 1999 nine
month period, net charge-offs  totaled $5,000,  compared with net charge-offs of
$4,000 during the same period of 1998.  As of September 30, 1999,  there were no
nonaccrual loans and no loans over 90 days past due and still accruing interest.
The amount of  nonaccrual  loans at September 30, 1998 was $1,000 and there were
no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest.

         Management  believes  that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to
absorb all estimated  future risk of loss  inherent in the loan  portfolio as of
September 30, 1999.


                                       10

Noninterest Income

         Noninterest  income totaled $350,000 for the first nine months of 1999,
compared with $296,000 for the same 1998 period.  The higher  noninterest income
in 1999 was  attributable to a $35,000 increase in the amount of service charges
on deposit accounts, increased credit life insurance commissions and higher fees
derived  from  card-based  services,  including  credit  card fees and  merchant
discount charges.  There were no realized securities gains or losses in the 1999
or 1998 periods.

         Noninterest   income  totaled  $123,000  for  the  three  months  ended
September  30,  1999,  compared  with  $105,000  for the third  quarter of 1998.
Service charges on deposit accounts were $20,000 more in the 1999 period than in
1998 and all other income categories decreased by a total of $2,000.

Noninterest Expenses

         Noninterest  expenses  totaled  $1,124,000 for the first nine months of
1999,  compared  with  $1,098,000  for the same  period  of 1998.  Salaries  and
employee  benefits  increased  by $43,000,  or 7.7%,  to  $598,000  for the 1999
period. This increase resulted primarily from normal salary increases, which are
granted from time to time.  Occupancy and  furniture and equipment  expenses for
1999 increased by $5,000 compared with 1998.  Other expenses for the 1999 period
were $22,000 less than in 1998 due to  non-recurring  expenses  incurred  during
1998 to effect the transition  into the present bank holding  company  structure
including the related regulatory filings, legal and other professional services,
and higher shareholders' meeting expenses.

         Noninterest expenses for the third quarter of 1999 were $22,000 greater
than for the same  period of 1998.  Salaries  and  employee  benefits  increased
$12,000 and net occupancy and furniture and equipment expenses increased $7,000.
Other expenses increased $3,000.  Management  expects that noninterest  expenses
for the  remainder  of 1999 will  continue to trend above the level of the prior
year.

Liquidity

         Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future obligations through
the  liquidation or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional
liabilities.  The  Company  manages  both  assets  and  liabilities  to  achieve
appropriate  levels  of  liquidity.  Cash  and  short-term  investments  are the
Company's  primary  sources of asset  liquidity.  These funds  provide a cushion
against  short-term  fluctuations  in cash flow from both  deposits  and  loans.
Securities  available-for-sale  are the Company's  principal source of secondary
asset  liquidity.  However,  the  availability  of this source is  influenced by
market conditions.  Individual and commercial deposits are the Company's primary
source of funds for credit activities.

         As of  September  30,  1999,  the ratio of loans to total  deposits was
64.8%, compared with 63.8% as of December 31, 1998 and 67.4% as of September 30,
1998.  Deposits as of September  30, 1999 were  $1,922,000  or 4.2% less than at
December 31, 1998 and  $410,000 or .9% less than their  levels of September  30,
1998.

         Management  believes that the Company's  liquidity sources are adequate
to meet its operating needs.

Capital Resources

         The Company's  capital base  increased by $112,000  since  December 31,
1998 as the result of net income of $825,000  for the first nine months of 1999,
less dividends declared totaling  $607,000,  plus $118,000 in net proceeds added
from  the  sale of 4,778  shares  of stock  under  the  Company's  new  dividend
reinvestment  plan,  less $19,000 paid to reacquire and cancel 571 shares of the
Company's outstanding common stock, less the $205,000 change in unrealized gains
and losses on  available-for-sale  securities,  net of deferred tax effects. The
Company and its  subsidiary  Bank  historically  pay an annual  dividend in  the
first  quarter of each year.  However,  the amount,  if any,  and  frequency  of
dividend  payments is subject to the  discretion  of the Board of Directors  and
regulatory limitations.

         The  Company  and its banking  subsidiary  (the  "Bank") are subject to
regulatory  risk-based capital adequacy standards.  Under these standards,  bank
holding  companies and banks are required to maintain  certain minimum ratios of
capital to risk-weighted  assets and average total assets.  Under the provisions
of the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation  Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA),
federal bank regulatory authorities are required to implement prescribed "prompt
corrective actions" upon the deterioration of the capital position of a bank. If
the  capital  position  of an affected  institution  were to fall below  certain
levels, increasingly stringent regulatory corrective actions are mandated.

         The  September  30,  1999 risk based and average  total  asset  capital
ratios  for the  Company  and the Bank are  presented  in the  following  table,
compared with the "well  capitalized"  and minimum  ratios under the  regulatory
definitions and guidelines:

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

         The Company was on schedule and had  substantially  completed  its Year
2000 Preparedness  Plan as of September 30, 1999. The plan had five phases:  (1)
Awareness,   (2)   Assessment,   (3)  Renovation,   (4)   Validation,   and  (5)
Implementation. These phases included the identification of critical systems and
equipment  potentially  vulnerable to the Year 2000 problem.  This also included
identification  of significant loan customers whose businesses could possibly be
adversely  affected  by the  problem  and  communicating  with them about  their
progress  in  addressing  the  Year  2000  changeover.   The  renovation  phase,
consisting of upgrading or replacing  systems and equipment,  had been completed
in large  part  before  the end of the third  quarter  of 1998.  The  validation
portion of the plan calls for the actual  testing of systems and equipment as of
certain critical dates. This testing was completed  successfully,  as scheduled,
by  September  30, 1999.  Finally,  the  implementation  phase,  which  requires
addressing  any  problems  encountered  in  the  validation  phase,  along  with
continued  review and  assessment of the  Company's  systems and  equipment,  is
presently underway and will continue until the Year 2000 has arrived.

         Through  September 30, 1999,  the  Company's  costs to address the Year
2000 Problem totaled approximately $6,000. That amount does not include the cost
of Company employees' time that may have been diverted from other activities. It
also does not include the costs of replacing  or upgrading  hardware or software
if the items replaced or upgraded were otherwise  substantially  technologically
obsolete.

<PAGE>

         The most  reasonably  likely worst case  scenarios  for the Company are
that customers and some service providers may experience Year 2000 problems that
make it difficult for them to meet their  obligations to the Company in a timely
fashion.  Management  of the Company does not believe that such  problems  would
result in more than a temporary inconvenience.

         Management is of the opinion that the  Company's  systems and equipment
will be ready for the Year 2000 in a timely manner without any material  adverse
effect  on the  Company's  business.  Management  is not  aware of any  material
expenditures to be required to complete its preparedness plan.

         Nevertheless,  the  Company  could be  adversely  affected  by problems
encountered by its vendors,  customers and providers of services in dealing with
their Year 2000 readiness,  by difficulty in identifying all possible effects of
the Year 2000 problem and  interrelationships  between various mission  critical
systems,  and by the  unavailability  of skilled  personnel to address Year 2000
problems that may arise.
