             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, which are for
interim periods, do not include all disclosures provided in the annual
consolidated financial statements.  These financial statements and the footnotes
thereto should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, for Commercial Bankshares, Inc. (the
"Company").

    All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.


2. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal
recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements.
The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.



3.  PER SHARE DATA

    Earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents
outstanding.  Common share equivalents for 1996 and 1995 include the effect of
all outstanding stock options, using the treasury stock method.  Pursuant to the
1994 Performance Stock Option Plan and the 1994 Outside Director Stock Option
Plan of the Company, stock options granted by the Board of Directors of the
Company are outstanding and exercisable for the purchase of 96,000 and 20,000
common shares at prices of $10.55 and $14.25, respectively; options for the
purchase of 27,000 shares at a price of $14.63 will be exercisable one year from
the date of the grant, August 16, 1995.  The exercise prices represent the fair
market value of the common shares as of the date of the grant.  All options are
granted for a term of ten years.  The Company gives no accounting recognition to
the options until they are exercised, and there will be no compensation expense
with regard to these options.

               ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    In October 1993, the Company filed a registration statement on Form SB-2
with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register for sale 977,500 shares
of the Company's Common Stock (including 127,500 shares subject to underwriters'
over-allotment option) at $11.50 per share.  The SB-2 became effective October
5, 1993, at which time the sale of 850,000 shares of Common stock was consum-
mated.  On November 12, 1993, the additional 127,500 shares subject to the
underwriters' over-allotment option were issued.  From the approximately $10
million in net proceeds, $6.56 million was used to acquire certain deposit
liabilities of Carteret Federal Savings Bank (Carteret) in November 1994.  An
additional $636,000 was used to pay dividends in December 1994 and December
1995.  The remaining $2.8 million was invested and will be used for the
possible acquisition of other financial institutions or branches, investment in
the Company's wholly owned banking subsidiary, the possible payment of future
dividends, working capital, and general corporate purposes, as needed.

    Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $20.5 million at December 31, 1995,
to $19.7 million at March 31, 1996.  This decrease was primarily a result of
the decrease in federal funds sold.  

    The source of the Company's funds is funds generated by the operations of
the Bank.  For banks, liquidity represents the ability to meet both loan commit-
ments and withdrawals of deposited funds.  Funds to meet these needs can be
obtained by converting liquid assets to cash or by attracting new deposits or
other sources of funding.  Many factors affect a bank's ability to meet
liquidity needs.  The Bank's principal sources of funds are deposits, repurchase
agreements, payments on loans, paydowns and maturities on investments and
investments available for sale, and capital contributions by the Company.  The
available-for-sale investment security portfolio is $88.6 million.  Gross loans
at March 31, 1996, of $98.8 million increased by $9.0 million, or 10.0% over the
year-end 1995 level.

    In accordance with risk based capital guidelines issued by the FRB, the
Company is required to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to weighted
risk assets of 8%.  Additionally, all member banks must maintain "core" or "Tier
1" capital of at least 3% of total assets ("leverage ratio").  Member banks
operating at or near the 3% capital level are expected to have well diversified
risks, including no undue interest rate risk exposure, excellent control
systems, good earnings, high asset quality, high liquidity, and well managed on-
and off-balance sheet activities, and in general be considered strong banking
organizations with a composite 1 rating under the CAMEL rating system of banks. 
For all but the most highly rated banks meeting the above conditions, the
minimum leverage ratio is to be 3% plus an additional 100 to 200 basis points.
The Tier 1 Capital, Total Capital, and Leverage Ratios of the Company were
21.74%, 22.58%, and 8.61%, respectively, as of March 31, 1996.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The Company's net income reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, was
approximately $766,000 or $.24 per share, compared to net income reported for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995, of approximately $736,000 or $.23 per share.

     The Company's net interest income increased by $78,000 or 2.4% in March
1996 from the corresponding quarter in 1995.  Growth in the loan portfolio
resulted in an improved interest spread, thus contributing to the rise in net
interest income, which was partially offset by an increase in salary and data
processing expenses.  The net interest margin increased from 3.93% for the first
quarter of 1995 to 4.14% for the corresponding quarter in 1996, or 21 basis
points.

     FDIC insurance expense decreased for the first quarter of 1996 from the
same period in 1995 by $63,000 or 39%.  This decrease was a result of an adjust-
ment to the FDIC insurance premium rate in September 1995, when the Bank
Insurance Fund (BIF) became fully funded.  The current BIF premium is a flat
annual fee of $2,000; the premium for the first quarter of 1995 was $.0575
per $100 in deposits.  Premiums for the Savings Association Insurance Fund
(SAIF) were unchanged from the first quarter of 1995 to the first quarter of
1996, at $.0575 per $100 in deposits. 

    Company management continually reviews and evaluates the allowance for loan
losses.  Based on the nature of the loan portfolio and prevailing economic
factors, the Company believes that the allowance for loan losses at March 31,
1996, was sufficient to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio.


<TABLE>
The following table sets forth an analysis of the activity in the Bank's
allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

</TABLE>
The allowance for loan losses was approximately $1,196,000 (or 1.21% of total
loans) at March 31, 1996, as compared with $1,199,000 (or 1.34% of total loans)
at year end 1995.  The Company actively pursues collection of past due loans.
There are no known loan industry concentrations.  Virtually all loans are within
the Company's markets in Dade and Broward counties.
<PAGE>
In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management con-
siders the results of its methodology, along with other factors such as the
amount of non-performing loans and the economic conditions affecting the
Company's markets and customers.

The Company's non-performing assets are presented for the dates indicated below:

</TABLE>


The Company had one non-accrual loan of $125,000 at March 31, 1996.  No interest
income was recognized on the non-accrual loans to date in 1996 or in 1995.  If
these loans were on full accrual, additional interest income of approximately
$1,650 would have been recorded during the first quarter of 1996.  One property
with a value of $458,000 was held in other real estate owned at March 31, 1996.

Based on these factors and the status of the loan portfolio, management believes
the allowance for loan losses is adequate.<PAGE>
