Item 2.       Acquisition of Assets

DATE AND MANNER OF ACQUISITION

       On December 12, 1995, the Board of Directors for Community Bankshares
Incorporated (CBI) voted to enter into an Agreement and Plan for Reorganization
(the plan) with Commerce Bank of Virginia (CBOV) to combine their businesses.
CBOV is a state bank with its principal office located in Richmond, Virginia.
The combination of the two companies will be consummated through a Share
Exchange under Virginia law. Under the terms of the Plan, CBOV would become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CBI. On June 18, 1996, the stockholders of CBI and
CBOV approved the agreement and plan for reorganization. The transaction will be
accounted for as a pooling of interest. CBI has received an opinion from its
independent accountant that the transaction does qualify for such accounting
treatment. This transaction became effective on July 1, 1996.



DESCRIPTION OF ASSETS AND IDENTITY OF THE SELLER OF THE ASSETS

                            COMMERCE BANK OF VIRGINIA

BUSINESS

     CBOV is a community oriented financial institution headquartered in Henrico
County, Virginia. CBOV was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia on August 28, 1985, and commenced business as a commercial bank on
April 8,1986.

     CBOV conducts a general commercial and a full service retail banking
business. CBOV is a local bank with a local, personal focus. It seeks to address
the problems and serve the opportunities of people and businesses within its

<PAGE>


     CBOV is a community bank that seeks to provide a wide variety of banking
services to individuals and small to medium sized businesses in an environment
that allows CBOV to respond to and meet the needs of its customers in a rapid
and efficient manner that differentiates it from larger banking organizations.
CBOV prides itself on delivering enhanced customer service that clients are not
able to obtain elsewhere. CBOV's hours of operation are generally, 9:00 a.m. to
2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday and additional hours of 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
on Friday. Saturday banking hours are also available from 9:00 a.m. until noon.
In addition, CBOV operates two full service Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) at
its Main Office location and at the Hanover Branch location.

     CBOV's three Executive Officers each have over 25 years of banking
experience, primarily in the local market and in community banking. CBOV has
hired and retained experienced people whose banking backgrounds have helped CBOV
develop and deliver excellent service.

     CBOV is organized under the Virginia Banking Act, as amended. It is subject
to regulation and examination by the Virginia State Corporation Commission, the
Federal Reserve, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Various
requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United States and the
Commonwealth of Virginia affect the operations of CBOV, including the
requirement to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the nature
and amount of loans which may be made and the interest that may be charged
thereon, and restrictions relating to investments and other activities of CBOV.

     The accounts of CBOV's depositors are insured up to $100,000 for each
account holder by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an instrumentality
of the United States Government. Insurance of CBOV's accounts is subject to the
statutes and regulations governing insured banks, to examination by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, and to certain limitations and restrictions
imposed by that agency.

     As of June 30, 1996, there were 527,840 shares of Common Stock outstanding
held by 421 holders of record.

AMOUNT OF CONSIDERATION AND SOURCES OF FUNDS USED FOR THE ACQUISITION

     McKinnon & Company, Inc. (McKinnon), an investment banking firm, was
engaged by CBI and CBOV in November 1995 to serve as their financial advisor and
to determine a fair exchange ratio of shares of CBI for each share of CBOV
common stock and each option of CBOV outstanding. After several meetings with
the management of CBI and CBOV in November 1995 and a review of relevant public
and private information, McKinnon determined a fair exchange ratio from a
financial point of view. On November 21, 1995, McKinnon met with the Boards of
Directors of CBI and CBOV respectively to present its analysis and evaluation of
a fair exchange ratio. On December 12, 1995, McKinnon met with the Boards of
Directors of CBI and CBOV, along with respective legal and accounting
representatives, and gave its verbal opinion that the Share Exchange as
specified in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated December 12, 1995,
whereby each share of CBOV would be exchanged for 1.4044 shares of CBI Common
Stock, was fair to the shareholders of CBI and CBOV from a financial point of
view at such date.

     At the effective date of the Reorganization, each outstanding share of CBOV
Common Stock, except for shares as to which dissenters' rights have been duly
exercised, shall be exchanged for 1.4044 shares of CBI Common Stock and cash in
lieu of any fractional share. Thus the lower the price of CBI Common Stock at
the effective date of the Reorganization, the lower the dollar value of CBI
Common Stock CBOV shareholders will receive as a result of the Reorganization.
Conversely the higher the price of CBI Common Stock at the effective date of the
Reorganization, the higher the dollar value of CBI Common Stock CBOV
shareholders will receive as a result of the Reorganization.

     As of June 30, 1996, CBI's closing price on the OTC Bulletin Board was
$15.50, which calculates to a price for CBOV Shareholders of $21.77 per share of
CBOV Common Stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors of
Commerce Bank of Virginia
Richmond, Virginia

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of condition of Commerce  Bank of
Virginia  as of  December  31,  1995 and 1994,  and the  related  statements  of
operations,  stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the  period  ended  December  31,  1995.  These  financial  statements  are  the
responsibility  of the Bank's  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of Commerce Bank of Virginia at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 1995 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The  accounting and reporting  policies of Commerce Bank of Virginia  conform to
generally  accepted  accounting  principles  and  general  practices  within the
banking industry. A summary of the more significant policies follows:

GENERAL

Commerce Bank of Virginia (the "Bank") is a state-chartered  member bank subject
to examination and regulation by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and Bureau
of Financial Institutions of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

REGULATION

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") was
enacted on December 19, 1991.  Provisions of the  legislation  became  effective
January 1, 1993.

Specifically,  FDICIA  contains  provisions  which allows  regulators  to impose
prompt corrective action on  undercapitalized  institutions in accordance with a
categorized  capital-based  system. In addition,  FDICIA includes provisions for
revising  capital  requirements  to include  the effect of  interest  rate risk,
operating  standards  in key  areas  of the  Bank's  operations,  standards  for
compensating  executives,  audit expansion and increased frequency of regulatory
examinations,  reducing  the scope of  deposit  insurance  coverage,  risk-based
deposit insurance assessments, and restricting state banking activities.

ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the
financial  statements and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment  securities  are  classified as either  held-to-maturity,  trading or
available for sale.  Investment securities classified as held for investment are
stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts
using  the level  yield  method.  It is  management's  intention  and it has the
ability to hold  investment  securities  classified  as held for  investment  to
maturity and,  accordingly,  adjustments are not made for temporary  declines in
their market value below amortized cost. Securities held for sale are carried at
their estimated  market value with unrealized  holding gains and losses,  net of
tax,  reported as a separate  component of stockholders'  equity until realized.
Trading account assets are carried at estimated  market value.  Gains and losses
on securities sold are determined  based on the specific  identification  of the
securities sold.

LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Loans are granted to borrowers  predominantly in the Richmond  metropolitan area
and are stated at the amount of unpaid  principal  reduced by an  allowance  for
loan losses. Interest on loans is calculated by using the simple interest method
on daily balances of the principal amount  outstanding.  The accrual of interest
on loans  is  discontinued  when,  in the  opinion  of  management,  there is an
indication that the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level  considered by management
to be adequate  to absorb  future  loan  losses  currently  inherent in the loan
portfolio.  Management's  assessment  of the adequacy of the  allowance is based
upon type and volume of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience,  existing
and  anticipated  economic  conditions,  and other factors which deserve current
recognition  in  estimating  future loan losses.  Additions to the allowance are
charged to operations.  Management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance
is subject to evaluation and adjustment by the Bank's regulators.

Effective  January 1, 1995, the Bank adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 114 (SFAS 114),  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
(as amended by SFAS No. 118,  "Accounting  by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures). The effect of adopting these new
accounting standards  were  immaterial  to the  operating  results of the Bank
for the year ended December 31, 1995.  Prior  financial  statements have not
been restated to apply the provision of the new accounting standard.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

Under the new accounting  standard,  a loan is considered to be impaired when it
is probable  that the Bank will be unable to collect all  principal and interest
amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The allowance
for loan losses  related to loans  identified as impaired is primarily  based on
the  excess  of the  loan's  current  outstanding  principal  balance  over  the
estimated  fair market value of the related  collateral.  For a loan that is not
collateral-dependent,  the  allowance  is  recorded  at the  amount by which the
outstanding  principal  balance  exceeds the current best estimate of the future
cash flows on the loan  discounted  at the loan's  original  effective  interest
rate.  Prior to 1995,  the  allowance  for loan losses for all loans which would
have qualified as impaired under the new accounting standard was primarily based
upon the estimated fair market value of the related collateral.

For impaired  loans that are on nonaccrual  status,  cash payments  received are
generally applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance. However, all or a
portion of a cash payment  received on a nonaccrual  loan may be  recognized  as
interest income to the extent allowed by the loan contract,  assuming management
expects to fully collect the remaining principal balance on the loan.

As of December 31, 1995, the Bank had no loans that were considered as impaired.

The Bank defers loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain direct loan
origination  costs, and the net deferred fees are amortized into interest income
over the lives of the related loans as yield  adjustments.  Any  unamortized net
fees on loans  fully  repaid  or sold are  recognized  as  income in the year of
repayment  or  sale.  Deferred  fees  on  permanent  adjustable-rate  loans  are
amortized into income over the period necessary to adjust the yield on the loans
to market rates using the level yield method.

FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE

Foreclosed  real  estate is  initially  recorded at the lower of fair value less
estimated  selling  costs or the balance of the loan on the  property at date of
foreclosure. Costs related to capital additions or improvements are capitalized,
whereas those relating to holding the property are charged to operations.

Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses
is  established  by a charge to operations if the carrying value of the property
exceeds its fair value.

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization.  For financial reporting purposes, provisions for depreciation and
amortization  are computed  using the  straight-line  method over the  estimated
useful lives of the  individual  assets or the terms of the related  leases,  if
shorter, for leasehold improvements.  Accelerated  depreciation methods are used
for income tax purposes.  Expenditures  for  betterments  and major renewals are
capitalized  and ordinary  maintenance  and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred  income taxes are  recognized  for the tax  consequences  of "temporary
differences"  between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis
of  existing  assets  and  liabilities  by  applying  enacted   statutory  rates
applicable to future years to those differences.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed by dividing  net income by the  weighted  average
number of shares  outstanding  during the year.  The weighted  average number of
shares  outstanding  for the years ended  December 31, 1995,  1994 and 1993 were
459,239,  429,399 and  409,463,  respectively.  Existing  stock  options are not
considered  in the  computation  as their  dilutive  effect is less  than  three
percent.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of this presentation, cash equivalents include federal funds sold.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 1995, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued its Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  121  (SFAS  121),   "Accounting  for  the
Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and For  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of".
SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain  intangibles to be held and
used by an  entity  be  reviewed  for  impairment  when  events  or  changes  in
circumstances  indicate  that the  carrying  amount may not be  recoverable.  In
addition,  SFAS 121 requires  long-lived  assets and certain  intangibles  to be
disposed of to be  reported  at the lower of carrying  amount or fair value less
costs to sell.  SFAS 121 is effective for fiscal years  beginning after December
15, 1995.  Management does not expect the application of this  pronouncement  to
have a material effect on the financial statements of the Bank.

In May 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued its Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 122 (SFAS 122),  "Accounting  for Mortgage
Servicing  Rights an  Amendment  of FASB  Statement  No. 65".  SFAS 122 requires
entities to allocate the cost of acquiring or originating mortgage loans between
the  mortgage  servicing  rights and the  loans,  based on their  relative  fair
values,  if the bank sells or  securitizes  the loans and retains  the  mortgage
servicing  rights.  In  addition,  SFAS 122  requires  entities  to  assess  its
capitalized  mortgage servicing rights for impairment based on the fair value of
those rights.  SFAS 122 is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December
15, 1995.  Management does not expect the application of this  pronouncement  to
have a material effect on the financial statements of the Bank.

In October  1995,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No. 123  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation."  SFAS No. 123 allows  companies  to continue to account for their
stock option plans in accordance with APB Opinion 25 but encourages the adoption
of a new  accounting  method based on the estimated fair value of employee stock
options.  Companies  electing  not to follow the new fair value based method are
required  to provide  expanded  footnote  disclosures,  including  pro forma net
income and earnings per share,  determined as if the company had applied the new
method. SFAS No. 123 is required to be adopted  prospectively  beginning January
1, 1996.  Management  does not expect the application of this  pronouncement  to
have a material effect on the financial statements of the Bank.

6.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In December 1991, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107,  "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial  Instruments",  effective  for fiscal years ending after  December 15,
1992.  This  statement  requires  disclosure  of the fair  values  of  financial
instruments,  both assets and  liabilities  recognized and not recognized in the
statement of condition, where it is practicable to estimate fair value.

The estimated fair values of the Bank's financial instruments as of December 31,
1995, are as follows:

                                                      Carrying              Fair
                                                        Amount             Value

UNRECOGNIZED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  Standby letters of credit                                N/A            10,700

The following  methods and  assumptions  were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value.

Cash and short-term investments

For those short-term  investments,  the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate
of fair value.

Investment securities

Fair  values are based on quoted  market  prices or dealer  quotes.  If a quoted
market  price is not  available,  fair value is estimated  using  quoted  market
prices for similar securities.

6.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Loan receivables

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting  the future cash flows using
the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar
remaining  maturities.  This  calculation  ignores loan fees and certain factors
affecting the interest  rates  charged on various  loans such as the  borrower's
creditworthiness  and compensating  balances and dissimilar types of real estate
held as collateral.

Deposit liabilities

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

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit

The fair value of commitments is estimated  using the fees currently  charged to
enter into similar  agreements,  taking into account the remaining  terms of the
agreements and the present  creditworthiness  of the  borrowers.  For fixed-rate
loan  commitments,  fair value also  considers the  difference  between  current
levels of interest  rates and the committed  rates.  Because of the  competitive
nature of the  marketplace  loan fees vary  greatly with no fees charged in many
cases. Therefore, management has concluded no value should be assigned.

The fair  value of  letters  of credit is based on fees  currently  charged  for
similar  agreements  or on the  estimated  cost to  terminate  them or otherwise
settle the obligations with the borrowers at the reporting date.

9.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Bank  sponsors a  non-contributory  Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan  (ESOP)
covering  substantially  all  employees.  Contributions  to the ESOP,  which are
recorded as compensation expense, and can be cash or stock at fair value, are at
the  discretion of the Board of Directors  and amounted to $40,000,  $30,000 and
$25,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,  respectively.  At
December 31, 1995, there were 10,765 shares allocated to participants  which are
considered outstanding for purposes of computation of earnings per share.

Effective  June 1,  1992,  the Bank  adopted a 401(k)  profit-sharing  plan (the
"Plan") covering substantially all employees.  Participants may contribute up to
15%  of  their  compensation  to  the  Plan.  The  Bank  contributes  50% of the
participant's  contribution,  up to 6% of the participant's  compensation,  as a
matching contribution.  Contributions to the Plan by the Bank were approximately
$16,800,  $12,100 and $12,100 for the years ending  December 31, 1995,  1994 and
1993, respectively.

10.   STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Bank has a noncompensatory Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") designed
to provide  long-term  incentives  to  officers,  directors  and key  employees.
Pursuant  to the  Plan,  50,000  shares of the  Bank's  common  stock  were made
available  for awards on April 21,  1986.  In June 1993,  the Board of Directors
declared a 10% stock  dividend.  The Plan  requires that in the event of a stock
dividend  that the  number  of  shares  of common  stock  then  covered  by each
outstanding option granted shall be increased  proportionately  with no increase
in option price.  In accordance  with the Plan and in connection  with the stock
dividend,  5,000  additional  shares of the Bank's  common  stock have been made
available  for awards and 3,000  options to purchase  common stock were granted.
The Bank also  granted an  additional  2,000  options to purchase  common  stock
during 1993.  All options  granted under the Plan were at the  estimated  market
value of the Bank's stock on the date of grant.

The following table presents options exercisable and outstanding under the Plan:

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,                               1995      1994       1993

11.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

During  June  1993,  the  Board of  Directors  declared  a 10%  stock  dividend.
Accordingly,  amounts  equal to the fair market value of the  additional  shares
issued have been  charged to retained  earnings and credited to common stock and
capital surplus.

In August 1995,  the Bank completed an offering of 70,041 shares of common stock
to existing shareholders which provided the Bank with proceeds of $1,050,808 net
of expenses.

11.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)

On  December  12,  1995,  the  Bank  entered  into  an  Agreement  and  Plan  of
Reorganization (the "Agreement") with Community Bankshares, Inc. ("CBI"), a bank
holding company  headquartered  in Petersburg,  Virginia,  pursuant to which the
Bank will engage in a Share Exchange with CBI (the "Reorganization").  Under the
terms of the  Agreement,  each  share of  common  stock of the Bank  outstanding
immediately  prior to consummation of the  Reorganization  will be exchanged for
1.4044  shares of CBI  Common  Stock,  with cash  being  paid in lieu of issuing
fractional  shares.  Following  the  Reorganization,  the Bank will continue its
banking business as a wholly-owned  subsidiary of CBI in substantially  the same
manner as before the  Reorganization.  This  Agreement is subject to approval by
the shareholders of both the Bank and CBI.

Banking  laws and  regulations  place  certain  restrictions  on the  amount  of
dividends  that a bank may pay to its  stockholders.  Of the $6,041,187 in total
stockholders'  equity at December 31, 1995 $1,496,086 is available for dividends
and  the  remaining   $4,545,101  is   restricted   based  on  minimum   capital
requirements.

12.   DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

The Bank has a Deferred  Compensation  Plan (the  "Plan") for the benefit of its
directors.  Contributions amounted to approximately $38,900, $24,000 and $16,400
for the years ended  December 31, 1995,  1994 and 1993,  respectively.  The Plan
provides each director with an annual benefit payment upon attaining 70 years of
age.  In  addition,  benefit  payments  are  available  upon  early  retirement,
termination and death as defined by the Plan Document.

During 1995, the Bank adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Officers Plan")
for the benefit of certain officers. Contributions of approximately $29,600 were
made to the Plan during the year ended  December  31, 1995.  The  Officers  Plan
provides each officer an annual benefit  payment upon  retirement.  In addition,
benefit payments are available upon death or early termination as defined by the
Plan Document.

13.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with  off-balance-sheet risk in the
normal  course  of  business  to meet  the  financing  needs  of its  customers,
primarily in the Richmond metropolitan area. These financial instruments include
commitments to extend credit and standby  letters of credit.  Those  instruments
involve,  to varying  degrees,  elements  of credit risk in excess of the amount
recognized   on  the  statement  of  condition.   Financial   instruments   with
off-balance-sheet risk are summarized as follows:

DECEMBER 31,                                               1995             1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Financial instruments whose contract
  amounts represent credit risk:

     Commitments to extend credit                    $7,894,000       $6,873,000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Standby letters of credit                       $  777,000       $  596,000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of  nonperformance  by the other
party to the financial  instrument for  commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit is represented  by the  contractual  notional  amount of those
instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit  policies in making  commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

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 Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on
a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained,  if deemed necessary by
the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of
the  counterparty.  Collateral  held varies but may include  personal  property,
commercial property, residential property, land and accounts receivable.

Standby  letters of credit  are  conditional  commitments  issued by the Bank to
guarantee  the  performance  of a customer  to a third  party.  The credit  risk
involved in issuing  letters of credit is essentially  the same as that involved
in extending loans to customers.

13.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

The Bank has entered into  employment  agreements  with its  President and Chief
Executive  Officer and with two Senior  Vice  Presidents  which  expire at dates
through  December  31,  1997.   These   agreements,   which  contain   continual
self-renewing  terms of one year subject to  cancellation  by the Bank,  provide
minimum  salaries  during  the terms of the  agreements  and  certain  severance
benefits  if a change  of  control  and  termination  occurs as  defined  in the
agreements.  The maximum severance benefits payable,  if such a termination upon
change in control occurred at December 31, 1995,  would have been  approximately
$423,000.

The Bank leases land,  tenant space and certain equipment under operating leases
expiring  at  various  dates  to  2006.   Total  rental   expense   amounted  to
approximately  $68,500,  $84,700 and $96,855  for the years ended  December  31,
1995, 1994 and 1993,  respectively.  At December 31, 1995,  minimum annual lease
payments in the aggregate were as follows:

BALANCE SHEET
(a) It is assumed that the Reorganization will be accounted for on a pooling of
interests accounting basis and, accordingly, the related pro forma adjustments
have been calculated using the exchange ratio, whereby CBI will issue 1.4044
shares of stock for each share of CBOV stock.

As a result, as of March 31, 1996, information was appropriately adjusted for
the Reorganization by the (a) addition of 707,607 shares of CBI common stock
amounting to $2,122,821, (b) elimination of 503,850 shares of CBOV common stock
amounting to $1,763,475, and (c) recordation of the remaining amount of $359,346
as a decrease in capital surplus.


INCOME STATEMENT
