                        COMMUNITY BANKSHARES INCORPORATED


Item 1.           Business

GENERAL

         COMMUNITY  BANKSHARES  INCORPORATED (CBI) AND THE COMMUNITY BANK. CBI's
sole business is to serve as a holding  company for The Community  Bank. CBI was
incorporated  as a Virginia  corporation  on January 24, 1985, and on January 1,
1985,  it acquired  all of the issued and  outstanding  shares of The  Community
Bank's capital stock.

         The  Community  Bank was  incorporated  in 1973  under  the laws of the
Commonwealth  of Virginia.  Since The Community Bank opened for business on June
10,  1974,  its main banking and  administrative  office has been located at 200
North Sycamore Street, Petersburg,  Virginia. The Community Bank opened a branch
office in Colonial Heights,  Virginia,  during 1984. In 1985, The Community Bank
opened its newest  branch in the  village  of  Chester in  Chesterfield  County,
Virginia.

         PRINCIPAL  MARKET AREA. The Community Bank  concentrates  its marketing
efforts in the cities of Petersburg,  and Colonial Heights, Virginia, and in the
adjacent counties of Prince George,  Dinwiddie and  Chesterfield,  including the
village of  Chester  in  Chesterfield  County.  As of  December  31,  1995,  The
Community  Bank had  approximately  $42.9  million  of  deposits  in the City of
Petersburg; $14.9 million of deposits in the City of Colonial Heights; and $19.3
million of deposits in the village of Chester.  CBI's  present  intention  is to
continue concentrating its banking activities in its current market.

         BANKING  SERVICES.  Through  its  network  of banking  facilities,  The
Community  Bank  provides  a  wide  range  of  commercial  banking  services  to
individuals and small and medium-sized  businesses.  The Community Bank conducts
substantially  all  of  the  business  operations  of  a  typical   independent,
commercial bank, including the acceptance of checking and savings deposits,  and
the making of commercial real estate, personal, home improvement, automobile and
other  installment and term loans.  The Community Bank also offers other related
services, such as travelers' checks, safe deposit, lock box, depositor transfer,
customer note payment, collection,  notary public, escrow, drive-in facility and
other  customary  banking  services.  Trust  services  are  not  offered  by The
Community Bank.

         The  accounts  of The  Community  Bank'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 The
Community Bank'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 restriction imposed by that agency.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

         LOAN  PORTFOLIOS.   CBI  is  a  residential  mortgage  and  residential
construction  lender and also extends commercial loans to small and medium-sized
businesses  within  its  primary  service  area.  Consistent  with its  focus on
providing  community-based financial services, CBI does not attempt to diversify
its loan  portfolio  geographically  by making  significant  amounts of loans to
borrowers outside its primary service area.

         The principal  economic risk  associated with each of the categories of
loans in CBI's portfolio is the  creditworthiness of its borrowers.  Within each
category,  such risk is increased or decreased  depending on prevailing economic
conditions.  In an effort to manage the risk,  CBI's  policy  gives loan  amount
approval  limits to individual loan officers based on their level of experience.
The risk associated  with real estate  mortgage loans and  installment  loans to
individuals   varies  based  upon  employment   levels,   consumer   confidence,
fluctuations  and value of  residential  real estate and other  conditions  that
affect the ability of consumers to repay indebtedness.  The risk associated with
commercial  loans  varies  based upon the  strength  and  activity  of the local
economy of CBI's market area. The risk associated with real estate  construction
loans  varies based upon the supply and demand for the type of real estate under
construction.  Most of CBI's residential real estate  construction loans are for
pre-sold and contract homes.

         RESIDENTIAL  MORTGAGE LENDING.  CBI originates  conventional fixed rate
and adjustable rate  residential  mortgage loans. All fixed rate loans are for a
term of three  years or less,  unless  the loan is to be fully  amortized  in 60
equal monthly payments.  CBI does not originate  residential  mortgage loans for
resale  in the  secondary  market.  Many  of  CBI's  residential  mortgage  loan
customers do not satisfy secondary mortgage market criteria.  Such customers can
qualify for a loan by providing larger down payments or third-party guarantors.

         RESIDENTIAL  CONSTRUCTION LENDING. Because of the attractive adjustable
rates available,  CBI makes construction loans for residential  purposes.  These
include both construction  loans to experienced  builders and loans to consumers
for owner-occupied  residences.  CBI does not actively solicit loans to builders
for  homes  that are not  pre-sold.  Construction  lending  entails  significant
additional  risk as compared with  residential  mortgage  lending.  Construction
loans to builders  can involve  larger loan  balances  concentrated  with single
borrowers or groups of related borrowers.  Also, with construction  loans, funds
are  advanced  upon the  security  of the home under  construction,  which is of
uncertain  value  prior to the  completion  of  construction.  Thus,  it is more
difficult  to evaluate  accurately  the total loan funds  required to complete a
project and related  loan-to-value  ratios.  Residential  construction  loans to
customers,  for which a permanent loan  commitment  from another lender approved
prior to loan closing is  required,  are subject to the  additional  risk of the
permanent  lender failing to provide the necessary funds at closing,  either due
to the borrower's inability to fulfill the terms of his commitment or due to the
permanent lender's inability to meet its funding commitments. In addition to its
unusual credit  analysis of the  borrowers,  CBI seeks to obtain a first lien on
the property as security for its construction loans.








<PAGE>


         COMMERCIAL  REAL  ESTATE  LENDING.   CBI  provides  permanent  mortgage
financing  for a  variety  of  commercial  projects.  In the  normal  course  of
business,  CBI will provide  financing  for  owner-occupied  properties  and for
income  producing,  non-owner  occupied  projects  which meet all the guidelines
established by loan policy.  These loans  generally do not exceed 65% of current
appraised or market value,  whichever is lower,  for unimproved land and 75% for
improved  commercial real estate.  Such loans are written on terms which provide
for a maturity provision of from one to three years.

         Construction loans for the purpose of constructing  commercial projects
are  provided  for periods of not greater  than one year,  at floating  rates of
interest  and are  convertible  to  permanent  financing  consistent  with terms
outlined in CBI loan policy. When a construction loan agreement is entered into,
particular  care is taken to govern the  process of the loan and,  both  initial
project review and periodic inspections are conducted by competent personnel who
are  independent of CBI.  Advance ratios are closely  monitored and  appropriate
construction reserves are established.

          CONSUMER LENDING.  CBI currently offers most types of consumer demand,
time and installment loans, including automobile loans.

         COMMERCIAL  BUSINESS  LENDING.  As a full-service  community  bank, CBI
makes  commercial  loans to  qualified  small  businesses  in CBI's market area.
Commercial   business  loans  generally  have  a  higher  degree  of  risk  than
residential  mortgage loans but have  commensurately  higher  yields.  To manage
these risks, CBI generally secures appropriate collateral and carefully monitors
the financial  condition of its business borrowers and the concentration of such
loans in CBI's  portfolio.  Most of CBI's  commercial  loans are secured by real
estate,  which is viewed by CBI as the principal collateral securing such loans.
Residential  mortgage  loans  generally are made on the basis of the  borrower's
ability to make  repayment  from his employment and other income and are secured
by real estate or real estate whose value tends to be easily  ascertainable.  In
contrast,  commercial  business  loans  typically  are made on the  basis of the
borrower's  ability to make  repayment  from cash flow from its business and are
either  unsecured or secured by business assets,  such as real estate,  accounts
receivable,  equipment and inventory. As a result, the availability of funds for
the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the
success of the business itself.  Further,  the collateral for secured commercial
business  loans may  depreciate  over time and cannot be appraised  with as much
precision as residential real estate.

         COLLECTION  PRACTICES.  Often,  CBI will  not  immediately  proceed  to
foreclose on real estate loans that become more than 90 days past due.  Instead,
CBI will permit the  borrower to market and sell the  collateral  in any orderly
manner.  If the borrower does not sell the collateral  within a reasonable time,
CBI will  foreclose  and sell the  collateral.  CBI's  experience  has been that
losses on well collateralized real estate loans are minimized when it works with
borrowers  in this manner,  although  its practice of working with  borrowers at
times results in relatively high balances of past due loans.  CBI also has found
that its loan  collection  practices  enable it to compete  with larger and less
flexible  financial  institutions  that  are not  based  in the  community.  See
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations - Nonperforming Assets".

COMPETITION

         The  Community  Bank  encounters  strong  competition  for its  banking
services  within its  primary  market  area.  There are seven  commercial  banks
actively  engaged in business in the cities of Petersburg and Colonial  Heights,
Virginia,  including  approximately five major statewide banking  organizations.
Finance  companies,  mortgage  companies,  credit  unions and  savings  and loan
associations  also compete with The Community  Bank for loans and  deposits.  In
addition,  in some instances,  The Community Bank must compete for deposits with
money market  mutual funds that are marketed  nationally.  Many of The Community
Bank's competitors have substantially greater resources than The Community Bank.

EMPLOYEES

         As of December 31, 1995,  The  Community  Bank had 33 full-time  and 11
part-time  employees.  Management of The Community  Bank considers its relations
with employees to be excellent.  No employees are  represented by a union or any
similar group, and The Community Bank has never  experienced any strike or labor
dispute.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

         Banks and their holding companies are extensively  regulated  entities.
CBI is currently a holding  company subject to supervision and regulation by the
Board of Governors of the Federal  Reserve System (the Federal  Reserve).  CBI's
sole  subsidiary  is The  Community  Bank,  a Virginia  chartered  bank which is
subject to supervision  and regulation by the Federal  Reserve and the Bureau of
Financial  Institutions of the State Corporation  Commission of the Commonwealth
of Virginia (the SCC).

         The  regulatory  discussion  is divided into two major  subject  areas.
First, the discussion addresses the general regulatory  considerations governing
bank holding companies.  This focuses on the primary  regulatory  considerations
applicable to CBI as a bank holding company.  Second,  the discussion  addresses
the  general  regulatory  provisions  governing  depository  institutions.  This
focuses on the regulatory considerations of The Community Bank.

         The  discussion  below  is only a  summary  of the  principal  laws and
regulations  that comprise the regulatory  framework.  The descriptions of these
laws and regulations,  as well as descriptions of laws and regulations contained
elsewhere  herein,  do not purport to be  complete  and are  qualified  in their
entirety by reference to applicable laws and regulations.





<PAGE>


BANK HOLDING COMPANIES

         The BHC Act generally limits the activities of the bank holding company
and its subsidiaries to that of banking,  managing or controlling  banks, or any
other  activity  which is so  closely  related  to  banking  or to  managing  or
controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

         Formerly the BHC Act prohibited  the Federal  Reserve from approving an
application  from a bank  holding  company to acquire  shares of a bank  located
outside  the state in which the  operations  of the  holding  company's  banking
subsidiaries  are  principally   conducted,   unless  such  an  acquisition  was
authorized  by  statute  of the state  where the bank  whose  shares  were to be
acquired was located.  However,  under federal  legislation enacted in 1994, the
restriction on interstate acquisitions was abolished,  effective September 1995.
A bank  holding  company  from any state now may acquire  banks and bank holding
companies located in any other state,  subject to certain conditions,  including
nationwide and state imposed  concentration  limits.  Banks also will be able to
branch across state lines by acquisition,  merger or de novo,  effective June 1,
1997  (unless  state law would  permit such  interstate  branching at an earlier
date),  provided certain conditions are met, including that applicable state law
must expressly permit such interstate branching.

         There are a number of  obligations  and  restrictions  imposed  on bank
holding  companies  and  their  depository  institution  subsidiaries  that  are
designed to reduce  potential  loss exposure to the depositors of the depository
institutions and to the FDIC insurance fund. For example,  under a policy of the
Federal Reserve with respect to bank holding company operations,  a bank holding
company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary
depository  institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in
circumstances  where it might not do so absent such  policy.  In  addition,  the
"cross-guarantee"   provisions  of  federal  law  require   insured   depository
institutions under common control to reimburse the FDIC for any loss suffered or
reasonably  anticipated  by the FDIC as a result of the  default  of a  commonly
controlled insured depository  institution or for any assistance provided by the
FDIC to a  commonly  controlled  insured  depository  institution  in  danger of
default.  The FDIC may decline to enforce the  cross-guarantee  provisions if it
determines  that a waiver is in the best  interest  of the Bank  Insurance  Fund
(BIF). The FDIC's claim for damages is superior to claims of stockholders of the
insured  depository  institution  or its holding  company but is  subordinate to
claims of depositors,  secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other
than affiliates) of the commonly controlled insured depository institutions.

         Banking laws also provide that amounts received from the liquidation or
other resolution of any insured  depository  institution by any receiver must be
distributed (after payment of secured claims) to pay the deposit  liabilities of
the  institution  prior to payment  of any other  general  or  unsecured  senior
liability,   subordinated  liability,  general  creditor  or  stockholder.  This
provision  would give  depositors  a preference  over  general and  subordinated
creditors  and  stockholders  in the event a receiver is appointed to distribute
the assets of any bank subsidiaries.

CERTAIN REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

         REGULATORY  CAPITAL  REQUIREMENTS.   All  financial   institutions  are
required to maintain  minimum  levels of  regulatory  capital.  The federal bank
regulatory  agencies have  established  substantially  similar  risked based and
leverage  capital  standards for financial  institutions  they  regulate.  These
regulatory  agencies  also may impose  capital  requirements  in excess of these
standards  on a  case-by-case  basis for various  reasons,  including  financial
condition  or  actual  or  anticipated  growth.  Under  the  risk-based  capital
requirements  of these  regulatory  agencies,  The Community Bank is required to
maintain a minimum  ratio of total capital to  risk-weighted  assets of at least
8%. At least half of the total capital is required to be "Tier 1 capital", which
consists  principally of common and certain qualifying  preferred  shareholders'
equity, less certain  intangibles and other adjustments.  The remainder ("Tier 2
capital") consists of a limited amount of subordinated and other qualifying debt
(including  certain  hybrid  capital  instruments)  and a limited  amount of the
general loan loss allowance. The Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted asset
ratios of The  Community  Bank as of  December  31,  1995 are 14.94% and 16.10%,
exceeding  the minimums  required.  Based upon the  applicable  Federal  Reserve
regulations,  at  December  31,  1995,  CBI  and The  Community  Bank  would  be
considered "well capitalized".

         In addition, the federal regulatory agencies have established a minimum
leverage  capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to tangible  assets).  These  guidelines
provide  for a  minimum  leverage  capital  ratio  of 3%  for  banks  and  their
respective  holding  companies that meet certain specified  criteria,  including
that  they  have  the  highest   regulatory   examination  rating  and  are  not
contemplating  significant  growth  or  expansion.  All other  institutions  are
expected to maintain a leverage  ratio of at least 100 to 200 basis points above
that  minimum.   The   guidelines   also  provide  that  banking   organizations
experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain
strong capital positions  substantially  above the minimum  supervisory  levels,
without significant  reliance on intangible assets. The leverage ratio of CBI as
of December 31, 1995, was 11.49%, which is well above the minimum requirements.

         Each federal  regulatory  agency is required to revise its risk-capital
standards to ensure that those standards take adequate  account of interest rate
risk,  concentration of credit risk and the risks of nontraditional  activities,
as  well  as  reflect  the  actual  performance  and  expected  risk  of loss on
multifamily  mortgages.  The Federal Reserve and the FDIC have jointly solicited
comments  on a  proposed  framework  for  implementing  the  interest  rate risk
component  of  the  risk-based  capital  guidelines.   Under  the  proposal,  an
institution's  assets,  liabilities,  and  off-balance  sheet positions would be
weighed by risk factors that approximate the instruments' price sensitivity to a
100 basis point change in interest rates.  Institutions  with interest rate risk
exposure  in excess of a threshold  level  would be required to hold  additional
capital proportional to that risk. In 1994, the federal bank regulatory agencies
solicited  comments on a proposed revision to the risk-based  capital guidelines
to take account of concentration  of credit risk and the risk of  nontraditional
activities.  The revision  proposed to amend each  agency's  risk-based  capital
standards by explicitly  identifying  concentration  of credit risk and the risk
arising from nontraditional  activities,  as well as an institution's ability to
manage those risks, as important  factors to be taken into account by the agency
in assessing an institution's overall capital adequacy. The proposal was adopted
as a final rule by the federal bank regulatory  agencies and subsequently became
effective  on  January  17,  1995.  CBI does not expect the final rule to have a
material impact on their capital  requirements;  however, the Federal regulatory
agencies may, as an integral part of their examination  process,  require CBI to
provide  additional  capital  based on such  agency's  judgments of  information
available at the time of examination.

         The  following  table  summarizes  the minimum  regulatory  and current
capital ratios for CBI on a consolidated basis, at December 31, 1995.

     quarterly period  end assets

(2)  Calculated  in  accordance  with the  Federal  Reserve's capital rules,
     with adjustment for net unrealized depreciation on securities available for
     sale.

         LIMITS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENTS.  Certain state law restrictions
are  imposed  on   distributions  of  dividends  to  shareholders  of  CBI.  CBI
shareholders  are entitled to receive  dividends as declared by the CBI Board of
Directors.  However, no such distribution may be made if, after giving effect to
the  distribution,  it would not be able to pay its debts as they  become due in
the usual  course of business or its total  assets  would be less than its total
liabilities.  There are similar  restrictions  with respect to stock repurchases
and redemptions.

         The  Community  Bank  is  subject  to  legal   limitations  on  capital
distributions  including  the  payment  of  dividends,  if,  after  making  such
distribution,  the institution would become  "undercapitalized" (as such term is
used in the statute).  For all state member banks of the Federal Reserve seeking
to pay dividends,  the prior approval of the applicable  Federal Reserve Bank is
required if the total of all dividends declared in any calendar year will exceed
the sum of the bank's net profits for that year and its retained net profits for
the  preceding  two  calendar  years.  Federal  law also  generally  prohibits a
depository  institution from making any capital distribution  (including payment
of a dividend  or payment of a  management  fee to its  holding  company) if the
depository   institution   would  thereafter  fail  to  maintain  capital  above
regulatory  minimums.  Federal  Reserve  Banks are also  authorized to limit the
payment of  dividends  by any state member bank if such payment may be deemed to
constitute an unsafe or unsound  practice.  In addition,  under  Virginia law no
dividend may be declared or paid that would impair a Virginia  chartered  bank's
paid-in capital.  The Virginia SCC has general  authority to prohibit payment of
dividends by a Virginia  chartered bank if it determines  that the limitation is
in  the  public  interest  and is  necessary  to  ensure  the  bank's  financial
soundness.

         Most of the revenues of CBI and CBI's  ability to pay  dividends to its
shareholders will depend on dividends paid to it by The Community Bank. Based on
The  Community  Bank's  current  financial  condition,   CBI  expects  that  the
above-described  provisions  will  have no  impact  on CBI's  ability  to obtain
dividends  from The  Community  Bank or on CBI's ability to pay dividends to its
shareholders.  At December  31,  1995,  the Bank had $3.567  million of retained
earnings legally available for the payment of dividends to CBI.

         In addition to the regulatory  provisions  regarding  holding companies
addressed above, The Community Bank is subject to extensive  regulation as well.
The following  discussion  addresses certain primary  regulatory  considerations
affecting The Community Bank.

         The  Community  Bank is  regulated  extensively  under both federal and
state  law.  The  Community  Bank is  organized  a  Virginia  chartered  banking
corporation  and  is  regulated  and  supervised  by  the  Bureau  of  Financial
Institutions  of the Virginia SCC. As a member of the Federal  Reserve System as
well, The Community Bank is regulated and supervised by the Federal Reserve Bank
in Richmond.  The Virginia SCC and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond  conduct
regular  examinations  of The  Community  Bank,  reviewing  such  matters as the
adequacy of loan loss  reserves,  quality of loans and  investments,  management
practices,  compliance  with laws,  and other  aspects of their  operations.  In
addition to these  regular  examinations,  The  Community  Bank must furnish the
Virginia SCC and the Federal Reserve with periodic reports containing a full and
accurate  statement of its affairs.  Supervision,  regulation and examination of
banks by these agencies are intended  primarily for the protection of depositors
rather than shareholders.

         INSURANCE OF ACCOUNTS,  ASSESSMENTS  AND  REGULATION  BY THE FDIC.  The
Community  Bank's deposits are insured up to $100,000 per insured  depositor (as
defined by law and  regulation)  through the BIF.  The BIF is  administered  and
managed by the FDIC. As insurer,  the FDIC is authorized to conduct examinations
of and to require reporting by BIF-insured  institutions.  The actual assessment
to be paid by each BIF  member  is based on the  institution's  assessment  risk
classification  and whether the  institution  is considered  by its  supervisory
agency to be financially sound or to have supervisory concerns.

         The FDIC is authorized  to prohibit any  BIF-insured  institution  from
engaging in any activity that the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose
a serious threat to the respective  insurance fund.  Also, the FDIC may initiate
enforcement actions against banks, after first giving the institution's  primary
regulatory  authority an opportunity to take such action. The FDIC may terminate
the deposit  insurance of any  depository  institution,  including The Community
Bank, if it determines,  after a hearing, that the institution has engaged or is
engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to
continue operations,  or has violated any applicable law,  regulation,  order or
any  condition  imposed  in  writing by the FDIC.  It also may  suspend  deposit
insurance  temporarily during the hearing process for the permanent  termination
of insurance,  if the institution has no tangible capital.  If deposit insurance
is terminated, the deposits at the institution at the time of termination,  less
subsequent  withdrawals,  shall  continue  to be insured  for a period  from six
months  to two  years,  as  determined  by the FDIC.  Management  is aware of no
existing  circumstances that could result in termination of The Community Bank's
deposit insurance.

         OTHER SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS  REGULATIONS.  The federal banking  agencies
have broad powers under current federal law to take prompt  corrective action to
resolve problems of insured depository institutions.  The extent of these powers
depends  upon  whether  the  institutions  in question  are "well  capitalized",
"adequately capitalized",  "undercapitalized",  "significantly undercapitalized"
or  "critically  undercapitalized",  as such  terms are  defined  under  uniform
regulations  defining such capital levels issued by each of the federal  banking
agencies.






<PAGE>


         In addition,  FDIC  regulations  require that management  report on the
institution's  responsibility to prepare financial statements,  and to establish
and to maintain an internal  control  structure  and  procedures  for  financial
reporting and compliance with designated laws and regulations  concerning safety
and soundness;  and that independent auditors attest to and report separately on
assertions in  management's  reports  concerning  compliance  with such laws and
regulations, using FDIC-approved audit procedures.

         Each of the federal  banking  agencies  also must  develop  regulations
addressing  certain  safety  and  soundness  standards  for  insured  depository
institutions   and   depository   institution   holding   companies,   including
compensation  standards,  operational and managerial  standards,  asset quality,
earnings and stock  valuation.  The federal banking agencies have issued a joint
notice of proposed rulemaking,  which requested comment on the implementation of
these standards. The proposed rule sets forth general operational and management
standards in the areas of internal  controls,  information  systems and internal
audit systems, loan documentation,  credit underwriting, interest rate exposure,
asset growth and compensation, fees and benefits. The proposed contemplates that
each federal agency would determine  compliance with these standards through the
examination  process,  and  if  necessary  to  correct  weaknesses,  require  an
institution to file a written safety and soundness  compliance plan. CBI has not
yet  determined  the effect that the proposed rule would have on its  operations
and the  operations of its  depository  institution  subsidiary if it is enacted
substantially as proposed.

         COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT.  The requirements of the Community Reinvestment
Act (CRA) affect The Community  Bank. The CRA imposes on financial  institutions
an  affirmative  and ongoing  obligation to meet the credit needs of their local
communities,  including low and moderate income  neighborhoods,  consistent with
the safe and sound operation of those institutions. Each financial institution's
efforts in meeting community credit needs currently are evaluated as part of the
examination  process pursuant to twelve assessment  factors.  These factors also
are considered in evaluating  mergers,  acquisitions  and applications to open a
branch or facility.  To the best knowledge of The Community  Bank, it is meeting
its obligations under the CRA.


Item 2.           Properties.

         CBI's offices and The  Community  Bank's main office are located in two
3,500 square feet condominiums in a seven-story  masonry building located at 200
North Sycamore Street, Petersburg, Virginia. The first floor includes a drive-in
facility, which is serviced by tellers located inside The Community Bank through
a closed circuit TV/pneumatic tube system. The Community Bank's branch office at
2618 South Crater Road in Petersburg  was opened in 1979.  The South Crater Road
office  occupies a one and one-half  story 2,100  square foot brick  building of
Colonial design.  In 1984, the Community Bank opened a branch office in Colonial
Heights,  located  at  2000  Snead  Avenue  in  a  640  square  foot  office  of
contemporary  design.  In 1985,  The Community  Bank opened its newest branch in
Chester,  located at 4203 West  Hundred Road in a 1,600 square foot brick office
of  contemporary  design.  The Community  Bank owns the land and the building in
which the South  Crater  Road and  Chester  branches  operate,  and  leases  the
Colonial Heights facility.

         CBI's  facilities  and  equipment  are  considered   adequate  for  its
immediate needs and for foreseeable expansion.

converted  into the right to receive  one-third  share of the  Company's  Common
Stock.

         The following table sets forth,  for the quarters  indicated,  the high
and low sale  prices for CBI Common  Stock on the OTC  Bulletin  Board since May

the previous year's earnings as dividends.

LIMITS ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENTS

         As noted in Item 1.  Business,  the Bank is  limited  in the  amount of

Exhibit A - Plan of Share Exchange between Commerce Bank of Virginia and
Community Bankshares Incorporated




<PAGE>



                      AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

         THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the "Agreement") is made and
entered into as of December 12, 1995 by and between Commerce Bank of Virginia, a
Virginia  state bank with its  principal  office  located in Richmond,  Virginia
("CBOV"), and Community Bankshares Incorporated, a Virginia corporation with its
principal office located in Petersburg, Virginia ("CBI").

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, CBOV and CBI desire to combine  their  respective  businesses;
and

         WHEREAS,  CBOV and CBI have  agreed  to the  affiliation  of their  two
companies through a Share Exchange under Virginia law, as a result of which CBOV
would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBI and the shareholders of CBOV would
become shareholders of CBI, all as more specifically  provided in this Agreement
and the Plan of Share  Exchange  in the form  attached  hereto as Exhibit A (the
"Plan"); and

         WHEREAS,  the  respective  Boards  of  Directors  of CBOV  and CBI have
resolved that the transactions described herein are in the best interests of the
parties and their  respective  shareholders and have authorized and approved the
execution and delivery of this Agreement.

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  premises  and  the  mutual
covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE 1

                     The Reorganization and Related Matters

         1.1 The  Reorganization.  Subject to the terms and  conditions  of this
Agreement,  at the Effective  Date as defined in Section 1.3 hereof,  CBOV shall
become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBI through the exchange of each outstanding
share  of  common  stock  of CBOV  for  shares  of the  common  stock  of CBI in
accordance  with Section 2.1 of this Agreement and pursuant to a statutory share
exchange  under  Section  13.1-717 of the Virginia  Stock  Corporation  Act (the
"Reorganization").  At the Effective  Date,  the  Reorganization  shall have the
effect provided in Section 13.1-721 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act.

         1.2 Management  and Business of CBOV and CBI. The  directors,  officers
and  employees  of CBOV will not change as a result of the  Reorganization.  The
members of the CBOV Board shall become  directors of CBI on the Effective  Date.
When the CBOV directors become directors of CBI, three members of the CBOV Board
shall  become  members  of  each  of the  three  classes  of CBI  Directors,  as
determined  by the CBOV Board.  The CBOV  Directors  appointed  to Class I shall
serve until the 1998 annual meeting of shareholders; those appointed to Class II
shall serve until the 1999 annual meeting of  shareholders;  and those appointed
to


<PAGE>



Class III shall serve until the 1997 annual meeting of shareholders. The parties
anticipate  that  immediately  before  the  Effective  Date  CBI  will  have ten
directors and CBOV will have nine directors.  As a result of the Reorganization,
CBI will have 19 directors on and after the Effective  Date. It is the intention
of CBI and CBOV that after the Effective Date, directors of CBOV, or individuals
designated by directors of CBOV,  shall continue to constitute nine  nineteenths
(9/19) of the Board of CBI and the  parties  shall use  their  best  efforts  to
maintain  that ratio.  The parties also  acknowledge,  however,  that such ratio
might change as a result of unanticipated  events,  including,  for example, the
acquisition  in the future of another bank by CBI. The parties intend that after
the Effective Date, the chief executive  officer of CBOV and the chief executive
officer of The  Community  Bank, a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of CBI,  each will
attend the meetings of the other's Board of Directors.

         1.3 The Closing and  Effective  Date.  The closing of the  transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan of  Reorganization  shall take place
at the offices of Williams,  Mullen, Christian & Dobbins, 1021 East Cary Street,
Richmond,  Virginia or at such other place as may be mutually agreed upon by the
parties.  The  Reorganization  shall  become  effective on the date shown on the
Certificate  of Share  Exchange  issued by the State  Corporation  Commission of
Virginia effecting the Reorganization  (the "Effective Date").  Unless otherwise
agreed upon in writing by the chief executive  officers of CBI and CBOV, subject
to the conditions to the obligations of the parties to effect the Reorganization
as set forth in Article 6, the parties shall use their best efforts to cause the
Effective  Date to occur on the first day of the  month  following  the month in
which the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1(a) and 6.1(b) are satisfied.  All
documents required by the terms of this Agreement to be delivered at or prior to
consummation  of the  Reorganization  will be  exchanged  by the  parties at the
closing of the Reorganization  (the  "Reorganization  Closing"),  which shall be
held on or before the Effective Date. Prior to the Reorganization  Closing,  CBI
and CBOV shall execute and deliver to the Virginia State Corporation  Commission
Articles of Share Exchange  containing a Plan of Share Exchange in substantially
the form of Exhibit A hereto.

         1.4 Definitions. Any term defined anywhere in this Agreement shall have
the meaning ascribed to it for all purposes of this Agreement  (unless expressly
noted to the contrary). In addition:

                  (a)  the term  "knowledge" when  used with  respect to a party
shall mean the knowledge, after due inquiry, of any "Executive  Officer" of such
party, as such term is defined in Regulation O, (12 C.F.R. 215);

                  (b) the term  "Material  Adverse  Effect",  when  applied to a
party,  shall  mean an event,  occurrence  or  circumstance  (including  without
limitation  (i) the making of any provisions for possible loan and lease losses,
write-downs  or other real estate and taxes and (ii) any breach of a representa-
tion or warranty by such party) which (a) has  or is  reasonably likely  to have
a  material  adverse  effect on the financial position, results of operations or
business  of the  party and  its  subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or  (b)  would
materially  impair the  party's  ability to  perform its obligations  under this
Agreement  or the  consummation  of  the   Reorganization  and  the other trans-
actions  contemplated  by  this Agreement;  provided,  however, that solely  for


<PAGE>



purposes  of  measuring  whether  an event,  occurrence  or  circumstance  has a
material adverse effect on such party's results of operations, the term "results
of operations"  shall mean net interest  income plus  non-interest  income (less
securities  gains) less gross expenses  (excluding  provisions for possible loan
and lease  losses,  write-downs  of other real estate and taxes);  and  provided
further,  that  material  adverse  effect and material  impairment  shall not be
deemed to include  the impact of (i)  changes in  banking  and  similar  laws of
general  applicability  or  interpretations  thereof  by courts or  governmental
authorities,  (ii)  changes  in  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  or
regulatory  accounting   requirements  applicable  to  banks  and  bank  holding
companies generally,  and (iii) the Reorganization on the operating  performance
of the parties to this Agreement; and

                  (c) the term  "Previously  Disclosed"  by a party  shall  mean
information set forth in a written  disclosure  letter that is delivered by that
party to the other party prior to or  contemporaneously  with the  execution  of
this Agreement and specifically designated as information "Previously Disclosed"
pursuant to this Agreement.

                                    ARTICLE 2

                          Basis and Manner of Exchange

         2.1 Conversion of Shares.  Upon,  and by reason of, the  Reorganization
becoming  effective  pursuant to the issuance of a Certificate of Share Exchange
by the Virginia State  Corporation  Commission,  no cash, except as set forth in
Section 2.3 below,  shall be allocated to the  shareholders  of CBOV,  and stock
shall be issued and allocated as follows:

                  (a) Each share of common stock,  par value $3.50 per share, of
CBOV ("CBOV  Common  Stock")  issued and  outstanding  immediately  prior to the
Effective Date shall, by operation of law, be automatically exchanged for 1.4044
(the "Exchange  Ratio") shares of common stock of CBI, par value $3.00 per share
(CBI  Common  Stock),  plus  cash  for  fractional  shares.  Each  holder  of  a
certificate  representing  any shares of CBOV Common Stock upon the surrender of
his CBOV stock  certificates  to CBI,  duly  endorsed for transfer in accordance
with  Section 2.2 below,  will be  entitled  to receive in  exchange  therefor a
certificate  or  certificates  representing  the  number of shares of CBI Common
Stock that his shares shall be converted  into  pursuant to the Exchange  Ratio.
Each such  holder of CBOV  Common  Stock  shall  have the right to  receive  any
dividends  previously declared but unpaid as to such stock and the consideration
described in Sections  2.1 and 2.3 upon the  surrender  of such  certificate  in
accordance  with  Section  2.2. In the event CBI changes the number of shares of
CBI Common Stock issued and outstanding  prior to the Effective Date as a result
of any stock split,  stock dividends,  recapitalization  or similar  transaction
with respect to the  outstanding  CBI Common Stock and the record date  therefor
shall  be  prior  to  the   Effective   Date,   the  Exchange   Ratio  shall  be
proportionately adjusted.

                  (b) Shares of CBOV Common Stock issued and outstanding  shall,
by virtue of the  Reorganization,  continue to be issued and outstanding  shares
held by CBI.



<PAGE>



         2.2 Manner of Exchange.  As promptly as practicable after the Effective
Date,  CBI  shall  cause  The  Community  Bank,  acting  as the  exchange  agent
("Exchange  Agent"),  to send to  each  former  shareholder  of  record  of CBOV
immediately  prior  to the  Effective  Date  transmittal  materials  for  use in
exchanging  such  shareholder's  certificates  of CBOV Common  Stock (other than
shares held by  shareholders  who perfect their  dissenters'  rights as provided
under Section 2.5 hereof) for the  consideration  set forth in Section 2.1 above
and Section 2.3 below.  Any  fractional  share checks  which a CBOV  shareholder
shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such  shareholder's  shares of CBOV
Common Stock, and any dividends paid on any shares of CBI Common Stock that such
shareholder  shall be entitled to receive  prior to the delivery to the Exchange
Agent of such shareholder's  certificates representing all of such shareholder's
shares of CBOV Common  Stock will be  delivered  to such  shareholder  only upon
delivery to the  Exchange  Agent of the  certificates  representing  all of such
shares  (or  indemnity  satisfactory  to CBI and the  Exchange  Agent,  in their
judgement,  if any of such  certificates  are  lost,  stolen or  destroyed).  No
interest will be paid on any such fractional  share checks or dividends to which
the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive upon such delivery.

         2.3 No  Fractional  Shares.  No  certificates  or scrip for  fractional
shares of CBI Common  Stock will be issued.  In lieu  thereof,  CBI will pay the
value of such fractional shares in cash on the basis of the book value per share
of CBI Common Stock at the end of the calendar quarter that immediately precedes
the Effective Date.

         2.4 Dividends. No dividend or other distribution payable to the holders
of record of CBI  Common  Stock at or as of any time  after the  Effective  Date
shall be paid to the  holder  of any  certificate  representing  shares  of CBOV
Common  Stock issued and  outstanding  at the  Effective  Date until such holder
physically  surrenders such  certificate for exchange as provided in Section 2.2
of this Agreement, promptly after which time all such dividends or distributions
shall be paid (without interest).

         2.5  Dissenting  Shares.  Shareholders  of CBOV shall have the right to
demand and  receive  payment of the fair  value of their  shares of CBOV  Common
Stock  pursuant to the  provisions  of Virginia  Code ss.  13.1-729 et seq. (the
"Dissenting  Shares").  If,  however,  a holder shall have failed to perfect his
right to dissent or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, each of
his shares of CBOV Common Stock shall be deemed to have been converted  into, at
the  Effective  Date,  the right to  receive  the number of shares of CBI Common
Stock  based on the  Exchange  Ratio and cash in lieu of any  fractional  shares
pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof.


                                    ARTICLE 3

                          Representation and Warranties

                  3.1  Representations  and Warranties of CBOV.  CBOV represents
and warrants to CBI as follows:

Reserve  System  (the  "Federal   Reserve"),   the  Virginia  State  Corporation
Commission ("SCC") and any other relevant regulatory  authority,  and it has all
requisite  corporate  power  and  authority  to  carry on a  commercial  banking
business as now being  conducted  and to own and operate its assets,  properties
and business.

                  (2)  CBOV is an  "insured  bank"  as  defined  in the  Federal
Deposit Insurance Act and applicable regulations  thereunder.  All of the shares
of capital stock of CBOV are fully paid and nonassessable.

                  (b)  Authority.   (1)  The  execution  and  delivery  of  this
Agreement,   the  Plan  of  Share   Exchange   and  the   consummation   of  the
Reorganization, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of CBOV,  except the approval of shareholders.  The Agreement
represents  the legal,  valid,  and  binding  obligations  of CBOV,  enforceable
against  CBOV in  accordance  with  its  terms  (except  in all  such  cases  as
enforceability   may  be   limited   by   applicable   bankruptcy,   insolvency,
reorganization,   moratorium  or  similar  laws  affecting  the  enforcement  of
creditors'  rights  generally and except that the  availability of the equitable
remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion
of the court before which any proceeding may be brought).

                  (2) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement,  the
consummation of the  transactions  contemplated  herein,  nor compliance by CBOV
with any of the provisions  hereof will: (i) conflict with or result in a breach
of any  provision of CBOV's  Articles of  Incorporation  or Bylaws;  (ii) to the
knowledge of CBOV, except as Previously  Disclosed,  constitute or result in the
breach of any term, condition or provision of, or constitute a default under, or
give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration with respect
to, or result in the  creation  of any lien,  charge or  encumbrance  upon,  any
property or assets of CBOV pursuant to (A) any note, bond, mortgage,  indenture,
or  (B)  any  material  license,   agreement,  lease,  or  other  instrument  or
obligation,  to which  CBOV is a party  or by which  any of them or any of their
properties or assets may be bound, or (iii) to the knowledge of CBOV, subject to
the receipt of the requisite  approvals  referred to in Section 4.7, violate any
order, writ, injunction,  decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to CBOV
or any or its properties or assets.

                  (c) Capital  Structure.  The authorized  capital stock of CBOV
consists of  1,500,000  shares of common  stock,  par value $3.50 per share,  of
which, as of the date hereof, 501,254 shares are issued, outstanding, fully paid
and  nonassessable,  not subject to shareholder  preemptive  rights and were not
issued in violation of any agreement to which CBOV is a party



<PAGE>

or otherwise bound, or of any  registration or  qualification  provisions of any
federal or state securities laws. Except as Previously  Disclosed,  there are no
outstanding options,  warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase from
CBOV any capital stock of CBOV or securities  convertible  into or  exchangeable
for capital stock of CBOV.

                  (d)  Ownership  of Stock.  (1) CBOV does not own,  directly or
indirectly,  5% or  more  of the  outstanding  capital  stock  or  other  voting
securities of any corporation,  bank or other  organization  actively engaged in
business except as Previously Disclosed.

                  (e) Financial Statements. CBOV has previously furnished to CBI
true and complete copies of its audited balance sheets and related statements of
income, statements of cash flows, and statements of stockholders' equity for the
three year period ended December 31, 1994, and its unaudited  balance sheets and
related  statements  of income and  statements of  stockholders'  equity for the
three month and nine month periods ending  September 30, 1995 (together with the
notes thereto, the "CBOV Financial  Statements").  The CBOV Financial Statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted  accounting  principles
applied on a consistent basis during the periods  presented,  and present fairly
the  financial  position  of CBOV as of the  respective  dates  thereof  and the
results of its  operations for the three year and nine month periods then ended,
except as may be noted  therein,  and subject to normal and  recurring  year end
audit adjustments in the case of unaudited statements.

                  (f) Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. At September 30, 1995,
CBOV, to its knowledge, had no obligation or liability (contingent or otherwise)
of any nature which was not reflected in the CBOV Financial  Statements,  except
for  those  which  in the  aggregate  are  immaterial  or have  been  Previously
Disclosed.

                  (g)  Legal  Proceedings;   Compliance  with  Laws.  Except  as
Previously Disclosed,  there are no actions,  suits or proceedings instituted or
pending or, to the best knowledge of CBOV's management, threatened against CBOV,
or against any property,  asset,  interest or right of CBOV, that are reasonably
expected to have,  either  individually  or in the aggregate a material  adverse
effect on the  financial  condition of CBOV or that are  reasonably  expected to
threaten or impede the consummation of the  Reorganization.  CBOV is not a party
to any  agreement  or  instrument  or  subject  to any  judgment,  order,  writ,
injunction,  decree or rule that might reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),  business or prospects
of CBOV. To the best  knowledge of CBOV's  management,  CBOV has complied in all
material respects with all laws, ordinances, requirements, regulations or orders
applicable  to  its  business   (including   environmental   laws,   ordinances,
requirements, regulations or orders).

                  (h)  Regulatory  Approvals.  CBOV  knows of no reason  why the
regulatory  approvals  referred  to in  Section  6.1(b)  should  not be
obtained  without the  imposition of any condition of the type referred
to in Section 6.1(b).

                  (i)  Labor  Relations.  CBOV is not a party to or bound by any
collective  bargaining  agreement,   contract  or  other  agreement  or
understanding with a labor union or labor


<PAGE>



organization,  nor is it the  subject  of a  proceeding  asserting  that  it has
committed an unfair  labor  practice  (within the meaning of the National  Labor
Relations Act) or seeking to compel it to bargain with any labor organization as
to wages and  conditions of  employment,  nor is there any strike or other labor
dispute involving it, pending or, to the best of its knowledge,  threatened, nor
is it aware of any  activity  involving  its  employees  seeking  to  certify  a
collective bargaining unit or engaging in any other organization activity.

                  (j) Tax Matters.  CBOV has filed all federal,  state and local
tax  returns  and  reports  required  to be filed,  and all taxes  shown by such
returns to be due and payable have been paid or are  reflected as a liability in
the CBOV Financial Statements or are being contested in good faith and have been
Previously  Disclosed.  Except  to the  extent  that  liabilities  therefor  are
specifically  reflected in the CBOV Financial Statements,  there are no federal,
state or local tax liabilities of CBOV other than  liabilities  that have arisen
since  September 30, 1995, all of which have been properly  accrued or otherwise
provided for on the books and records of CBOV.  Except as Previously  Disclosed,
no tax return or report of CBOV is under  examination by any taxing authority or
the  subject of any  administrative  or judicial  proceeding,  and no unpaid tax
deficiency has been asserted against CBOV by any taxing authority.

                  (k) Property.  Except as disclosed or reserved  against in the
CBOV Financial Statements,  CBOV has good and marketable title free and clear of
all  material  liens,  encumbrances,  charges,  defaults or equities of whatever
character to all of the material properties and assets,  tangible or intangible,
reflected  in the CBOV  Financial  Statements  as being  owned by CBOV as of the
dates thereof.  To the best knowledge of CBOV, all buildings,  and all fixtures,
equipment,  and other  property and assets  which are material to its  business,
held  under  leases  or  subleases  by CBOV are  held  under  valid  instruments
enforceable in accordance with their  respective  terms,  subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency,   reorganization,   moratorium  and  similar  laws.  The  buildings,
structures,  and  appurtenances  owned,  leased, or occupied by CBOV are in good
operating  condition and in a state of good  maintenance and repair,  and to the
best  knowledge of CBOV (i) comply with  applicable  zoning and other  municipal
laws and regulations, and (ii) there are no latent defects therein.

                  (l) Reports. Since January 1, 1990, CBOV has filed all reports
and  statements,  together with any amendments  required to be made with respect
thereto,  that were required to be filed with the SCC, the Federal Reserve,  and
to the best knowledge of CBOV, any other governmental or regulatory authority or
agency having jurisdiction over its operations.

                  (m) Employee  Benefit  Plans.  (1) CBOV will deliver for CBI's
review,  as soon as  practicable,  true  and  complete  copies  of all  material
pension, retirement, profit-sharing, deferred compensation, stock option, bonus,
vacation or other material incentive plans or agreements,  all material medical,
dental or other health plans,  all life  insurance  plans and all other material
employee benefit plans or fringe benefit plans,  including,  without limitation,
all  "employee  benefit  plans" as that term is defined  in Section  3(3) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), currently
adopted,  maintained by,  sponsored in whole or in part by, or contributed to by
CBOV for the benefit of employees,  retirees or other beneficiaries  eligible to
participate (collectively, the "CBOV Benefit Plans").


<PAGE>



Any of the CBOV Benefit Plans which is an "employee  pension  benefit  plan," as
that term is defined in Section (3(2) of ERISA, is referred to herein as a "CBOV
ERISA Plan." No CBOV Benefit  Plan is or has been a  multi-employer  plan within
the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA.

                  (2) Except as Previously Disclosed, all CBOV Benefit Plans are
in compliance with the applicable  terms of ERISA and the Internal  Revenue Code
of 1986,  as  amended  (the  "IRC")  and any other  applicable  laws,  rules and
regulations,  the  breach or  violation  of which  could  result  in a  material
liability to CBOV on a consolidated basis.

                  (3) No CBOV ERISA Plan which is a defined benefit pension plan
has any  "unfunded  current  liability,"  as that  term is  defined  in  Section
302(d)(8)(A)  of ERISA,  and the present  fair market value of the assets of any
such plan exceeds the plan's "benefit  liabilities,"  as that term is defined in
Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA, when determined under actuarial factors that would
apply  if the plan was  terminated  in  accordance  with  all  applicable  legal
requirements.

                  (n) Investment Securities.  Subject to FASB 115 and except for
pledges to secure public and trust  deposits and  obligations  under  agreements
pursuant  to  which  CBOV  has  sold  securities  subject  to an  obligation  to
repurchase,  none of the investment  securities  reflected in the CBOV Financial
Statements is subject to any restriction,  contractual, statutory, or otherwise,
which would impair  materially  the ability of the holder of such  investment to
dispose  freely  of  any  such  investment  at any  time.  With  respect  to any
agreements  pursuant  to which  CBOV has  purchased  securities  subject  to any
agreement to resell,  it has a valid,  perfected first lien or security interest
in the government  securities or other collateral  securing such agreement,  and
the value of such  collateral  equals or exceeds the amount of the debt  secured
thereby.

                  (o) Certain  Contracts.  (1) Except as  Previously  Disclosed,
CBOV is not a party to, or is bound by, (i) any material agreement,  arrangement
or commitment, (ii) any agreement, indenture or other instrument relating to the
borrowing  of money  by CBOV or the  guarantee  by CBOV of any such  obligation,
(iii) any agreement,  arrangement or commitment  relating to the employment of a
consultant or the employment,  election, retention in office or severance of any
present or former  director or officer,  (iv) any agreement to make loans or for
the provision,  purchase or sale of goods, services or property between CBOV and
any  director  of officer  of CBOV,  or any  member of the  immediate  family or
affiliate of any of the foregoing,  or (v) any agreement between CBOV and any 5%
or more shareholder of CBOV; in each case other than agreements  entered into in
the  ordinary  course  of the  banking  business  of CBOV  consistent  with past
practice.

                  (2) Neither  CBOV nor,  to the  knowledge  of CBOV,  the other
party  thereto,  is  in  default  under  any  material  agreement,   commitment,
arrangement, lease, insurance policy or other instrument whether entered into in
the ordinary  course of business or otherwise,  nor has there occurred any event
that, with the lapse of time or giving of notice or both,  would constitute such
a default,  other than defaults of loan  agreement by borrowers from CBOV in the
ordinary course of its business.



<PAGE>



                  (3) Since September 30, 1995 CBOV has not incurred or paid any
obligation  or  liability  that would be  material to CBOV,  except  obligations
incurred or paid in  connection  with  transactions  in the  ordinary  course of
business  of CBOV  consistent  with  its  practice  and,  except  as  Previously
Disclosed,  from  September 30, 1995 to the date hereof,  CBOV has not taken any
action that,  if taken after the date hereof,  would breach any of the covenants
contained in Section 4.4 hereof.

                  (p)  Insurance.  A complete list of all policies or binders of
fire, liability, product liability, workmen's compensation,  vehicular and other
insurance held by or on behalf of CBOV has previously  been furnished to CBI and
all such policies or binders are valid and  enforceable in accordance with their
terms, are in full force and effect, and insure against risks and liabilities to
the  extent  and in the  manner  customary  for  the  industry  and  are  deemed
appropriate  and  sufficient by CBOV. To its  knowledge,  CBOV is not in default
with respect to any provision contained in any such policy or binder and has not
failed to give any notice or present  any claim  under any such policy or binder
in due and timely  fashion.  CBOV has not  received  notice of  cancellation  or
non-renewal  of  any  such  policy  or  binder.  CBOV  has no  knowledge  of any
inaccuracy in any application  for such policies or binders,  any failure to pay
premiums when due or any similar  state of facts or the  occurrence of any event
that is  reasonably  likely to form the basis for any material  claim against it
not fully covered  (except to the extent of any  applicable  deductible)  by the
policies or binders referred to above.  CBOV has not received notice from any of
its insurance carriers that any insurance premiums will be increased  materially
in the future or that any such  insurance  coverage will not be available in the
future on substantially the same terms as now in effect.

                  (q) Absence of Material  Changes and Events.  Since  September
30,  1995,  there has not been any  material  adverse  change  in the  condition
(financial or otherwise),  aggregate assets or liabilities,  cash flow, earnings
or business of CBOV,  and CBOV has  conducted  its business only in the ordinary
course consistent with past practice.

                  (r) Loans,  OREO and Allowance for Loan Losses.  (1) Except as
Previously  Disclosed,  and  except for  matters  which  individually  or in the
aggregate do not materially adversely affect the Reorganization or the financial
condition  of CBOV,  to the best  knowledge of CBOV,  each loan  reflected as an
asset in the CBOV Financial Statements (i) is evidenced by notes, agreements, or
other evidences of indebtedness which are true, genuine and what they purport to
be, (ii) to the extent  secured,  has been  secured by valid liens and  security
interests which have been perfected,  and (iii) is the legal,  valid and binding
obligation  of the obligor named  therein,  enforceable  in accordance  with its
terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles. All
loans and  extensions  of credit which are subject to  regulation by the Federal
Reserve which have been made by CBOV comply therewith.

                  (2) The  classification  on the books and  records  of CBOV of
loans and/or non-performing  assets as nonaccrual,  troubled debt restructuring,
OREO or other  similar  classification,  complies in all material  respects with
generally accepted accounting  principles and applicable  regulatory  accounting
principles.


<PAGE>




                  (3) Except for liens, security interests,  claims, charges, or
such other  encumbrances  as have been  appropriately  reserved  for in the CBOV
Financial  Statements  or are not  material,  title  to the  OREO  is  good  and
marketable,  and there are no adverse  claims or  encumbrances  on the OREO. All
title,  hazard and other  insurance  claims and  mortgage  guaranty  claims with
respect to the OREO have been timely  filed and CBOV has not received any notice
of denial of any such claim.

                  (4) CBOV is in possession of all of the OREO or, if any of the
OREO remains  occupied by the mortgagor,  eviction or summary  proceedings  have
been  commenced or rental  arrangements  providing  for market rental rates have
been  agreed  upon and CBOV is  diligently  pursuing  such  eviction  or summary
proceedings  or such rental  arrangements.  Except as Previously  Disclosed,  no
legal  proceeding or  quasi-legal  proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of
CBOV,  threatened  concerning any OREO or any servicing  activity or omission to
provide a servicing activity with respect to any of the OREO.

                  (5) Except as Previously Disclosed,  all loans made by CBOV to
facilitate  the  disposition  of OREO are  performing in  accordance  with their
terms.

                  (6) The  allowance  for possible loan losses shown on the CBOV
Financial  Statements  was, and the  allowance for possible loan losses shown on
the financial statements of CBOV as of dates subsequent to the execution of this
Agreement  will  be,  in each  case as of the  dates  thereof,  adequate  in all
material respects to provide for possible losses, net of recoveries  relating to
loans previously  charged off, on loans outstanding  (including accrued interest
receivable) of CBOV and other extensions of credit (including  letters of credit
and commitments to make loans or extend credit) by CBOV.

                  (s)  Statements  True  and  Correct.  None of the  information
supplied or to be supplied by CBOV for inclusion in the  Registration  Statement
on Form S-4 (the "Registration  Statement") to be filed by CBI with the SEC, the
Proxy  Statement/Prospectus  (as  defined in Section  4.3) to be mailed to every
CBOV  shareholder  or any other  document to be filed with the SEC, the SCC, the
Federal  Reserve,  or any other  regulatory  authority  in  connection  with the
transactions  contemplated  hereby,  will, at the respective time such documents
are  filed,  and,  in the case of the  Registration  Statement,  when it becomes
effective and with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus,  when first mailed
to CBOV  shareholders,  be false or misleading with respect to any material fact
or omit to state any material  fact  necessary  in order to make the  statements
therein not misleading, or, in the case of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any
supplement thereto, at the time of the CBOV Shareholders' Meeting (as defined in
Section 4.3),  be false or misleading  with respect to any material fact or omit
to state any material  fact  necessary  to correct any  statement in any earlier
communication  with  respect  to the  solicitation  of any  proxy  for the  CBOV
Shareholders' Meeting.

                  (t) Brokers and Finders. Neither CBOV nor any of its officers,
directors or employees,  has employed any broker, finder or financial advisor or
incurred  any  liability  for any fees or  commissions  in  connection  with the
transactions contemplated herein, except for McKinnon & Company, Inc.


<PAGE>




                  (u)  Repurchase  Agreements.  With  respect to all  agreements
pursuant  to which CBOV has  purchased  securities  subject to an  agreement  to
resell,  if any, CBOV has a valid,  perfected first lien or security interest in
the government securities or other collateral securing the repurchase agreement,
and the  value of such  collateral  equals  or  exceeds  the  amount of the debt
secured thereby.

                  (v)  Administration  of  Trust  Accounts.  CBOV  has  properly
administered, in all respects material and which could reasonably be expected to
be material to the  business,  operations  or financial  condition of CBOV,  all
accounts for which it acts as a fiduciary  including but not limited to accounts
for which they serve as trustees, agents, custodians,  personal representatives,
guardians,  conservators or investment advisors, in accordance with the terms of
the governing  documents and applicable state and federal law and regulation and
common  law.  Neither  CBOV nor any  director,  officer or  employee of CBOV has
committed any breach of trust with respect to any such  fiduciary  account which
is material to or could  reasonably  be expected to be material to the business,
operations  or  financial  condition of CBOV and the  accountings  for each such
fiduciary  account are true and correct in all material  respects and accurately
reflect the assets of such fiduciary account in all material respects.

                  (w) Environmental Matters. (1) Except as Previously Disclosed,
to the best of  CBOV's  knowledge,  CBOV  does not own or lease  any  properties
affected by toxic waste, radon gas or other hazardous  conditions or constructed
in part with the use of asbestos.  CBOV is in  substantial  compliance  with all
Environmental  Laws applicable to real or personal  properties in which it has a
direct fee ownership or, with respect to a direct interest as lessee, applicable
to the  leasehold  premises or, to the best  knowledge of CBOV,  the premises on
which  the  leasehold  is  situated.  CBOV has not  received  any  Communication
alleging that CBOV is not in such compliance and, to the best knowledge of CBOV,
there are no present circumstances  (including Environmental Laws that have been
adopted but are not yet  effective)  that would  prevent or  interfere  with the
continuation of such compliance.

                  (2)  There  are no legal,  administrative,  arbitral  or other
claims, causes of action or governmental  investigations of any nature,  seeking
to impose,  or that could  result in the  imposition,  on CBOV of any  liability
arising under any Environmental  Laws pending or, to the best knowledge of CBOV,
threatened  against (A) CBOV,  (B) any person or entity whose  liability for any
Environmental   Claim  CBOV  has  or  may  have   retained  or  assumed   either
contractually or by operation of law, or (C) any real or personal property which
CBOV  owns or  leases,  or has  been or is  judged  to have  managed  or to have
supervised or  participated  in the management of, which  liability might have a
material  adverse  effect on the  business,  financial  condition  or results of
operations  of CBOV.  CBOV is not  subject to any  agreement,  order,  judgment,
decree or memorandum by or with any court,  governmental  authority,  regulatory
agency or third party imposing any such liability.

                  (3) To  the  best  knowledge  of  CBOV,  there  are no  legal,
administrative,  arbitral or other proceedings, or Environmental Claims or other
claims, causes of action or governmental  investigations of any nature,  seeking
to impose,  or that could  result in the  imposition,  on CBOV of any  liability
arising under any Environmental Laws pending or


<PAGE>



threatened  against any real or personal property in which CBOV holds a security
interest in connection with a loan or a loan participation which liability might
have a material adverse effect on the business,  financial  condition or results
of operations of CBOV.  CBOV is not subject to any agreement,  order,  judgment,
decree or memorandum by or with any court,  governmental  authority,  regulatory
agency or third party imposing any such liability.

                  (4) With  respect to all real and personal  property  owned or
leased by CBOV,  other than OREO,  CBOV has made  available to CBI copies of any
environmental  audits,  analyses and surveys that have been prepared relating to
such properties.  With respect to all OREO held by CBOV and all real or personal
property which CBOV has been or is judged to have managed or to have  supervised
or  participated  in the  management  of,  CBOV  has made  available  to CBI the
information  relating to such OREO  available to CBOV.  CBOV is in compliance in
all material  respects with all  recommendations  contained in any environmental
audits,  analyses  and  surveys  relating  to  any of the  properties,  real  or
personal, described in this subsection (4).

                  (5)  There  are  no  past  or  present  actions,   activities,
circumstances,  conditions, events or incidents,  including, without limitation,
the release,  emission,  discharge or disposal of any Materials of Environmental
Concern,  that could  reasonably  form the basis of any  Environmental  Claim or
other claim or action or  governmental  investigation  that could  result in the
imposition of any liability  arising under any  Environmental  Laws currently in
effect or adopted but not yet  effective  against  CBOV or against any person or
entity whose liability for any Environmental Claim CBOV has or may have retained
or assumed either contractually or by operation of law.

to CBOV as follows:

                  (a) Organization, Standing and Power. (1) CBI is a corporation
duly  organized,  validly  existing  and in  good  standing  under  the  laws of
Virginia.  It has all  requisite  corporate  power and authority to carry on its
business as now being  conducted  and to own and operate its assets,  properties
and  business,  and CBI has the  corporate  power and  authority  to execute and
deliver this  Agreement and perform the  respective  terms of this Agreement and
Plan of  Reorganization.  CBI is duly registered as a bank holding company under
the Bank  Holding  Company Act of 1956.  The  Community  Bank is a wholly  owned
subsidiary of CBI and is a Virginia  corporation and a Virginia state bank, duly
organized,  validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Virginia, is
in  compliance  in  all  material   respects  with  all  rules  and  regulations
promulgated  by any  relevant  regulatory  authority,  and it has all  requisite
corporate power and authority to carry on a commercial  banking  business as now
being conducted and to own and operate its assets, properties and business.

                  (2) CBI has Previously  Disclosed its subsidiary  corporations
(and the  subsidiaries  thereof),  all of  which  are  duly  organized,  validly
existing and in good standing in their respective  states of  incorporation  and
which  have  all  requisite  corporate  power  and  authority  to carry on their
businesses  as now  being  conducted  and  to  own  and  operate  their  assets,
properties and business (the "CBI Subsidiaries" and,  collectively with CBI, the
"CBI  Companies").  Each CBI Subsidiary  that is a depository  institution is an
"insured  bank" as defined in the Federal  Deposit  Insurance Act and applicable
regulations  thereunder.  All  of  the  shares  of  capital  stock  of  the  CBI
Subsidiaries  held  by  CBI  are  duly  and  validly  issued,   fully  paid  and
nonassessable, and all such shares are owned by CBI or a CBI Subsidiary free and
clear of any claim, lien, pledge or encumbrance of any kind, and were not issued
in violation of the preemptive  rights of any shareholder or in violation of any
agreement or of any registration or qualification provisions of federal or state
securities laws. Except as Previously Disclosed,  none of the CBI Companies owns
any equity securities of any other  corporation or entity.  Except as Previously
Disclosed,  each  of  the  CBI  Companies  is  in  good  standing  as a  foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction where the properties owned, leased or operated,
or the business conducted, by it require such qualification and where failure to
so qualify  either  singly or in the  aggregate  would  have a material  adverse
effect  on  the  financial  condition,  properties,  businesses  or  results  of
operations of the CBI Companies.

                  (b)  Authority.   (1)  The  execution  and  delivery  of  this
Agreement and the Plan of Share  Exchange and the  consummation  of the
Reorganization  have been duly and validly  authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of CBI, except the approval of


<PAGE>



shareholders. This Agreement represents the legal, valid, and binding obligation
of CBI, enforceable against CBI in accordance with its terms (except in all such
cases as  enforceability  may be limited by applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,
reorganization,   moratorium  or  similar  laws  affecting  the  enforcement  of
creditors'  rights  generally and except that the  availability of the equitable
remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion
of the court before which any proceeding may be brought).

                  (2) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement,  the
consummation of the transactions  contemplated herein, nor the compliance by CBI
with any of the  provisions  hereof will (i) conflict with or result in a breach
of any provision of the Articles of  Incorporation or Bylaws of CBI, (ii) to the
knowledge of CBI,  except as Previously  Disclosed,  constitute or result in the
breach of any term,  condition or provision of, or constitute  default under, or
give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration with respect
to, or result in the  creation  of any lien,  charge or  encumbrance  upon,  any
property  or  assets  of the  CBI  Companies  pursuant  to (A) any  note,  bond,
mortgage,  indenture,  or (B) any material  license,  agreement,  lease or other
instrument  or  obligation,  to which any of the CBI  Companies is a party or by
which any of them or any of their properties or assets may be bound, or (iii) to
the knowledge of CBI, subject to the receipt of the requisite approvals referred
to in Section 4.7, violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or
regulation  applicable to any of the CBI Companies or any of their properties or
assets.

                  (c) Capital  Structure.  The  authorized  capital stock of CBI
consists of:  4,000,000  shares of common stock,  par value $3.00 per share,  of
which 1,150,000 shares are issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable,
not subject to shareholder preemptive rights, and not issued in violation of any
agreement to which CBI is a party or otherwise  bound, or of any registration or
qualification  provisions of any federal or state securities laws. The shares of
CBI Common  Stock to be issued in exchange  for shares of CBOV Common Stock upon
consummation  of the  Reorganization  will have been duly  authorized  and, when
issued in accordance with the terms of this  Agreement,  will be validly issued,
fully paid and  nonassessable  and subject to no  preemptive  rights.  Except as
Previously Disclosed,  there are no outstanding understandings or commitments of
any  character  pursuant  to  which  CBI and any of the CBI  Companies  could be
required or expected to issue shares of capital stock.

                  (d) Ownership of the CBI  Subsidiaries;  Capital  Structure of
CBI  Subsidiaries;  and Organization of the CBI  Subsidiaries.  (1) CBI does not
own,  directly or  indirectly,  5% or more of the  outstanding  capital stock or
other voting securities of any corporation,  bank or other organization actively
engaged in  business  except as  Previously  Disclosed  (collectively  the "CBI"
Subsidiaries" and each individually a "CBI Subsidiary").  The outstanding shares
of  capital  stock of each CBI  Subsidiary  have  been duly  authorized  and are
validly  issued,  and are fully paid and  nonassessable  and all such shares are
directly  or  indirectly  owned by CBI free and clear of all  liens,  claims and
encumbrances.  No Rights are authorized,  issued or outstanding  with respect to
the  capital  stock  of  any  CBI   Subsidiary  and  there  are  no  agreements,
understandings or commitments relating to the right of CBI to vote or to dispose
of said shares.  None of the shares of capital stock of any CBI  Subsidiary  has
been issued in violation of the preemptive rights of any person.


<PAGE>




                  (2)  Each  CBI  Subsidiary  is a duly  organized  corporation,
validly existing and in good standing under applicable laws. Each CBI Subsidiary
(i) has full  corporate  power  and  authority  to own,  lease and  operate  its
properties  and to carry on its  business  as now  conducted  except  where  the
absence of such power or authority  would not have a material  adverse effect on
the  financial  condition,  results  of  operations  or  business  of  CBI  on a
consolidated  basis,  and (ii) is duly qualified to do business in the states of
the United  States and foreign  jurisdictions  where its ownership or leasing of
property or the conduct of its business  requires such  qualification  and where
failure to do qualify  would have a  material  adverse  effect on the  financial
condition,  results of  operations or business of CBI on a  consolidated  basis.
Each CBI  Subsidiary  has all  federal,  state,  local and foreign  governmental
authorizations  and licenses necessary for it to own or lease its properties and
assets and to carry on its business as it is now being  conducted,  except where
failure  to obtain  such  authorization  or  license  would not have a  material
adverse effect on the business of such CBI Subsidiary.

                  (e) Financial Statements. CBI's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, and all other  documents filed or to be
filed  subsequent to December 31, 1994 under Sections 13(a),  13(c), 14 or 15(d)
of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and
regulations thereunder,  the "Exchange Act"), in the form filed with the SEC (in
each such case, the "CBI Financial Statements") did not and will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material face required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein,  in light of
the  circumstances  under which they were made, not misleading;  and each of the
balance sheets in or incorporated by reference into the CBI Financial Statements
(including  the related notes and schedules  thereto)  fairly  presents and will
fairly  present  the  financial  position  of the entity or entities to which it
relates  as of its date and each of the  statements  of income  and  changes  in
stockholders'  equity  and  cash  flows  or  equivalent  statements  in the  CBI
Financial Statements  (including any related notes and schedules thereto) fairly
presents  and  will  fairly  present  the  results  of  operations,  changes  in
stockholders'  equity  and  changes  in cash  flows,  as the case may be, of the
entity or entities to which it relates  for the  periods set forth  therein,  in
each  case  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted   accounting   principles
consistently  applied to banks and bank  holding  companies  during the  periods
involved,  except  as may be noted  therein,  subject  to normal  and  recurring
year-end audit adjustments in the case of unaudited statements.

                  (f) Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. At September 30, 1995,
none of the CBI Companies,  to their knowledge,  had any obligation or liability
(contingent  or  otherwise)  of any nature  which were not  reflected in the CBI
Financial Statements,  except for those which in the aggregate are immaterial or
have been Previously Disclosed.

                  (g)  Legal  Proceedings;   Compliance  with  Laws.  Except  as
Previously Disclosed,  there are no actions,  suits or proceedings instituted or
pending or, to the best knowledge of CBI's management, threatened or probable of
assertion  against any of the CBI  Companies,  or against any  property,  asset,
interest or right of any of them, that are reasonably  expected to have,  either
individually  or in the  aggregate,  a material  adverse effect on the financial
condition  of CBI on a  consolidated  basis or that are  reasonably  expected to
threaten or impede the  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated by this
Agreement. None of the CBI


<PAGE>



Companies is a party to any  agreement or instrument or subject to any judgment,
order,  writ,  injunction,  decree or rule that might  reasonably be expected to
have a  material  adverse  effect on the  condition  (financial  or  otherwise),
business or  prospects  of CBI on a  consolidated  basis.  Except as  Previously
Disclosed,  as of the date of this Agreement,  none of the CBI Companies nor any
of their properties is a party to or is subject to any order, decree, agreement,
memorandum of understanding or similar  arrangement with, or a commitment letter
or similar submission to, any federal or state governmental  agency or authority
charged  with the  supervision  or  regulation  of  depository  institutions  or
mortgage  lenders or engaged in the  insurance  of deposits  which  restricts or
purports to restrict in any  material  respect the conduct of the business to it
or any of its  subsidiaries  to  properties,  or in any  manner  relates  to the
capital,  liquidity,  credit  policies  or  management  of  it;  and  except  as
Previously  Disclosed,  none of the CBI  Companies  has been advised by any such
regulatory authority that such authority is contemplating  issuing or requesting
(or is considering the appropriateness of issuing or requesting) any such order,
decree,  agreement,  memorandum of  understanding,  commitment letter or similar
submission. To the best knowledge of CBI, the CBI Companies have complied in all
material respects with all laws, ordinances, requirements, regulations or orders
applicable  to  its  business   (including   environmental   laws,   ordinances,
requirements, regulations or orders).

                  (h)  Regulatory  Approvals.  CBI  knows of no  reason  why the
regulatory  approvals  referred  to in  Section  6.1(b)  should  not be
obtained  without the  imposition of any condition of the type referred
to in Section 6.1(b).

                  (i) Labor Relations.  None of the CBI Companies is a party to,
or is bound by any collective bargaining agreement,  contract or other agreement
or understanding with a labor union or labor organization, nor is it the subject
of a proceeding asserting that is has committed an unfair labor practice (within
the  meaning of the  National  Labor  Relations  Act) or seeking to compel it to
bargain with any labor  organization  as to wages and  conditions of employment,
nor is there any strike or other labor dispute  involving it, pending or, to the
best of its knowledge, threatened, nor is it aware of any activity involving its
employees  seeking to certify a  collective  bargaining  unit or engaging in any
other organizational activity.

                  (j) Tax  Matters.  The CBI  Companies  have filed all federal,
state,  and local tax returns and  reports  required to be filed,  and all taxes
shown by such returns to be due and payable have been paid or are reflected as a
liability in the CBI Financial  Statements or are being  contested in good faith
and have been  Previously  Disclosed.  Except  to the  extent  that  liabilities
therefor are specifically  reflected in the CBI Financial Statements,  there are
no  federal,  state or local tax  liabilities  of the CBI  Companies  other than
liabilities  that have arisen since  September 30, 1995,  all of which have been
properly  accrued or otherwise  provided for on the books and records of the CBI
Companies. Except as Previously Disclosed, no tax return or report of any of the
CBI Companies is under examination by any taxing authority or the subject of any
administrative  or judicial  proceeding,  and no unpaid tax  deficiency has been
asserted against any of the CBI Companies by any taxing authority.

                  (k) Property.  Except as disclosed or reserved  against in the
CBI  Financial  Statements,  all of the CBI  Companies  have  good  and
marketable title free and clear of all


<PAGE>



material  liens,  encumbrances,   charges,  defaults  or  equities  of  whatever
character to all of the material properties and assets,  tangible or intangible,
reflected in the CBI Financial Statements as being owned by the CBI Companies as
of the dates  thereof.  To the best  knowledge  of CBI, all  buildings,  and all
fixtures,  equipment,  and other  property  and assets which are material to its
business on a  consolidated  basis,  held under  leases or  subleases by the CBI
Companies are held under valid instruments  enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,  moratorium
and similar laws. The buildings, structures, and appurtenances owned, leased, or
occupied  by the CBI  Companies  are,  to the  best  knowledge  of CBI,  in good
operating  condition,  in a state of good  maintenance and repair and (i) comply
with applicable zoning and other municipal laws and regulations,  and (ii) there
are no latent defects therein.

                  (l) Reports.  Since January 1, 1990,  the CBI  Companies  have
filed all reports and  statements,  together with any amendments  required to be
made with respect  thereto,  that were required to be filed with the  Securities
and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC"),  the Federal Reserve,  the SCC, and any other
governmental or regulatory  authority or agency having  jurisdiction  over their
operations.

                  (m) Employee  Benefit  Plans.  (1) CBI will deliver for CBOV's
review,  as soon as  practicable,  true  and  complete  copies  of all  material
pension, retirement, profit-sharing, deferred compensation, stock option, bonus,
vacation or other material incentive plans or agreements,  all material medical,
dental or other health plans,  all life  insurance  plans and all other material
employee benefit plans or fringe benefit plans,  including,  without limitation,
all  "employee  benefit  plans" as that term is defined  in Section  3(3) of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), currently
adopted,  maintained by,  sponsored in whole or in part by, or contributed to by
CBI for the benefit of employees,  retirees or other  beneficiaries  eligible to
participate  (collectively,  the "CBI  Benefit  Plans").  Any of the CBI Benefit
Plans which is an "employee  pension  benefit  plan," as that term is defined in
Section  3(2) of ERISA,  is  referred  to herein as a "CBI  ERISA  Plan." No CBI
Benefit Plan is or has been a multi-employer  plan within the meaning of Section
3(37) of ERISA.

                  (2) Except as Previously Disclosed,  all CBI Benefit Plans are
in compliance with the applicable  terms of ERISA and the Internal  Revenue Code
of 1986,  as  amended  (the  "IRC")  and any other  applicable  laws,  rules and
regulations  the  breach  or  violation  of which  could  result  in a  material
liability to CBI on a consolidated basis.

                  (3) No CBI ERISA Plan which is a defined  benefit pension plan
has any  "unfunded  current  liability,"  as that  term is  defined  in  Section
302(d)(8)(A)  of ERISA,  and the present  fair market value of the assets of any
such plan exceeds the plan's "benefit  liabilities,"  as that term is defined in
Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA, when determined under actuarial factors that would
apply  if the plan was  terminated  in  accordance  with  all  applicable  legal
requirements.

                  (n) Investment Securities.  Subject to FASB 115 and except for
pledges to secure public and trust deposits and obligations under agreements 
pursuant to which any of the CBI Companies has sold securities subject to an 
obligation to repurchase, none of the investment


<PAGE>



securities  reflected  in  the  CBI  Financial  Statements  is  subject  to  any
restriction, contractual, statutory, or otherwise, which would impair materially
the  ability of the  holder of such  investment  to  dispose  freely of any such
investment at any time. With respect to any agreements  pursuant to which any of
the CBI Companies has purchased  securities  subject to any agreement to resell,
it has a valid,  perfected  first lien or security  interest  in the  government
securities or other  collateral  securing such agreement,  and the value of such
collateral equals or exceeds the amount of the debt secured thereby.

                  (o) Certain  Contracts.  (1) Except as  Previously  Disclosed,
neither  CBI nor any CBI  subsidiary  is a party  to,  or is bound  by,  (i) any
material agreement,  arrangement or commitment, (ii) any agreement, indenture or
other instrument relating to the borrowing of money by CBI or any CBI Subsidiary
or the guarantee by CBI or any CBI Subsidiary of any such obligation,  (iii) any
agreement,  arrangement or commitment relating to the employment of a consultant
or the employment,  election, retention in office or severance of any present or
former  director  or  officer,  (iv)  any  agreement  to make  loans  or for the
provision,  purchase or sale of goods,  services or property  between CBI or any
CBI Subsidiary and any director or officer of CBI or any CBI Subsidiary,  or any
member of the immediate family or affiliate of any of the foregoing,  or (v) any
agreement  between CBI or any CBI Subsidiary  and any 5% or more  shareholder of
CBI; in each case other than  agreements  entered into in the ordinary course of
the banking business of CBI or a CBI Subsidiary consistent with past practice.

                  (2) Neither CBI or any CBI Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of
CBI,  the other  party  thereto,  is in default  under any  material  agreement,
commitment,  arrangement,  lease, insurance policy or other instrument,  whether
entered  into in the  ordinary  course of business or  otherwise,  nor has there
occurred  any  event  that,  with the lapse of time or giving of notice or both,
would  constitute  such a default,  other than  defaults of loan  agreements  by
borrowers from CBI or a CBI Subsidiary in the ordinary course of its business.

                  (3) Since September 30, 1995, CBI has not incurred or paid any
obligation  or  liability  that would be  material  to CBI,  except  obligations
incurred or paid in  connection  with  transactions  in the  ordinary  course of
business  of  CBI  consistent  with  its  practice  and,  except  as  Previously
Disclosed,  from  September  30, 1995 to the date hereof,  CBI has not taken any
action that,  if taken after the date hereof,  would breach any of the covenants
contained in Section 4.4 hereof.

                  (p)  Insurance.  A complete list of all policies or binders of
fire, liability, product liability, workmen's compensation,  vehicular and other
insurance  held  by or on  behalf  of the  CBI  Companies  has  previously  been
furnished to CBOV and all such policies or binders are valid and  enforceable in
accordance  with their terms,  are in full force and effect,  and insure against
risks and liabilities to the extent and in the manner customary for the industry
and are deemed  appropriate  and sufficient by CBI. To the knowledge of CBI, the
CBI Companies are not in default with respect to any provision  contained in any
such  policy or binder and have not  failed to give any  notice or  present  any
claim under any such policy or binder in due and timely fashion. None of the CBI
Companies has received  notice of cancellation or non-renewal of any such policy
or binder. None of the CBI Companies has knowledge of any inaccuracy in any


<PAGE>



application  for such policies or binders,  any failure to pay premiums when due
or any similar state of facts or the  occurrence of any event that is reasonably
likely to form the basis for any  material  claim  against it not fully  covered
(except to the extent of any  applicable  deductible) by the policies or binders
referred to above. None of the CBI Companies has received notice from any of its
insurance carriers that any insurance  premiums will be increased  materially in
the future or that any such  insurance  coverage  will not be  available  in the
future on substantially the same terms as now in effect.

                  (q) Loans,  OREO, and Allowance for Loan Losses. (1) Except as
Previously  Disclosed,  and  except for  matters  which  individually  or in the
aggregate,  do  not  materially  adversely  affect  the  Reorganization  or  the
financial  condition of CBI, to CBI's best  knowledge  each loan reflected as an
asset in the CBI Financial Statements (i) is evidenced by notes, agreements,  or
other evidences of indebtedness which are true, genuine and what they purport to
be, (ii) to the extent  secured,  has been  secured by valid liens and  security
interests which have been perfected,  and (iii) is the legal,  valid and binding
obligation  of the obligor named  therein,  enforceable  in accordance  with its
terms,   subject  to   bankruptcy,   insolvency,   and  other  laws  of  general
applicability  relating to or affecting  creditors' rights and to general equity
principles.  All loans and  extensions of credit which are subject to regulation
of the  Federal  Reserve  which  have been made by CBI and the CBI  Subsidiaries
comply therewith.

                  (2) The  classification  on the books and  records  of CBI and
each CBI  Subsidiary  of  loans  and/or  non-performing  assets  as  nonaccrual,
troubled debt restructuring,  OREO or other similar classification,  complies in
all  material  respects  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  and
applicable regulatory accounting principles.

                  (3) Except for liens, security interests,  claims, charges, or
such  other  encumbrances  as have been  appropriately  reserved  for in the CBI
Financial  Statements  or are not  material,  title  to the  OREO  is  good  and
marketable,  and there are no adverse  claims or  encumbrances  on the OREO. All
title,  hazard and other  insurance  claims and  mortgage  guaranty  claims with
respect  to the  OREO  have  been  timely  filed  and  neither  CBI  nor any CBI
Subsidiary has been received any notice of denial of any such claim.

                  (4) CBI and each CBI  Subsidiary  are in  possession of all of
the OREO or, if any of the OREO remains  occupied by the mortgagor,  eviction or
summary  proceedings  have been commenced or rental  arrangements  providing for
market rental rates have been agreed upon and CBI and/or each CBI Subsidiary are
diligently  pursuing  such  eviction  of  summary  proceedings  or  such  rental
arrangements. Except as Previously Disclosed, no legal proceeding or quasi-legal
proceeding  is  pending  or, to the  knowledge  of CBI and each CBI  Subsidiary,
threatened  concerning any OREO or any servicing activity or omission to provide
a servicing activity with respect to any of the OREO.

                  (5) Except as Previously  Disclosed,  all loans made by any of
the CBI  Companies to  facilitate  the  disposition  of OREO are  performing  in
accordance with their terms.



<PAGE>



                  (6) The  allowance  for possible  loan losses shown on the CBI
Financial  Statements  was, and the  allowance for possible loan losses shown on
the financial  statements of CBI as of dates subsequent to the execution of this
Agreement  will  be,  in each  case as of the  dates  thereof,  adequate  in all
material respects to provide for possible losses, net of recoveries  relating to
loans previously  charged off, on loans outstanding  (including accrued interest
receivable)  of the CBI  Companies  and other  extensions  of credit  (including
letters of credit and commitments to make loans or extend credit) by CBI.

                  (r) Absence of Material  Changes and Events.  Since  September
30,  1995,  there has not been any  material  adverse  change  in the  condition
(financial or otherwise),  aggregate assets or liabilities,  cash flow, earnings
or business or CBI,  and CBI has  conducted  its  business  only in the ordinary
course consistent with past practice.

                  (s)  Statements  True  and  Correct.  None of the  information
supplied or to be supplied by CBI for inclusion in the  Registration  Statement,
the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any other document to be filed with the SEC or
any other regulatory authority in connection with the transactions  contemplated
hereby,  will, at the respective time such documents are filed, and, in the case
of the Registration Statement, when it becomes effective and with respect to the
Proxy Statement/Prospectus,  when first mailed to CBOV shareholders, be false or
misleading  with respect to any material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the  statements  therein not  misleading,  or, in the
case of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any supplement thereto, at the time of
the CBOV  Shareholders'  Meeting,  be false or  misleading  with  respect to any
material  fact or omit to state any  material  fact  necessary  to  correct  any
statement in any earlier  communication  with respect to the solicitation of any
proxy for the CBOV Shareholders'  Meeting. All documents that CBI is responsible
for filing with the SEC or any other regulatory authority in connection with the
transactions  contemplated,  hereby  will  comply  as to  form  in all  material
respects with the provisions of applicable law, including applicable  provisions
of federal and state securities law.

                  (t) Brokers and Finders.  Neither CBI nor any CBI  Subsidiary,
nor any of their respective officers,  directors or employees,  has employed any
broker,  finder or financial  advisor or incurred any  liability for any fees or
commissions in connection with the transactions  contemplated herein, except for
the McKinnon & Company, Inc.

                  (u)  Repurchase  Agreements.  With  respect to all  agreements
pursuant to which CBI or any CBI Subsidiary has purchased  securities subject to
an agreement to resell, if any, CBI or such CBI Subsidiary,  as the case may be,
has a  valid,  perfected  first  lien or  security  interest  in the  government
securities or other collateral securing the repurchase agreement,  and the value
of such collateral equals or exceeds the amount of the debt secured thereby.

                  (v) Administration of Trust Accounts. CBI and CBI Subsidiaries
have properly administered,  in all respects material and which could reasonably
be expected to be material to the business, operations or financial condition of
CBI and CBI  Subsidiaries,  taken as a whole, all accounts for which they act as
fiduciaries  including  but not  limited  to  accounts  for which  they serve as
trustees, agents, custodians, personal representatives, guardians,


<PAGE>



conservators  or  investment  advisors,  in  accordance  with  the  terms of the
governing  documents and  applicable  state and federal law and  regulation  and
common  law.  Neither CBI nor a CBI  Subsidiary,  nor any  director,  officer or
employee  of CBI or a CBI  Subsidiary  has  committed  any  breach of trust with
respect to any such fiduciary  account which is material to or could  reasonably
be expected to be material to the business, operations or financial condition of
CBI, or a CBI  Subsidiary,  taken as a whole,  and the accountings for each such
fiduciary  account are true and correct in all material  respects and accurately
reflect the assets of such fiduciary account in all material respects.

                  (w) Environmental Matters. (1) Except as Previously Disclosed,
to the best of  CBI's  knowledge,  neither  CBI nor any CBI  Subsidiary  owns or
leases any  properties  affected by toxic  waste,  radon gas or other  hazardous
conditions or constructed in part with the use of asbestos.  Each of CBI and the
CBI  Subsidiaries  is in  substantial  compliance  with all  Environmental  Laws
applicable to real or personal properties in which it has a direct fee ownership
or, with respect to a direct  interest as lessee,  applicable  to the  leasehold
premises or, to the best knowledge of CBI and the CBI Subsidiaries, the premises
on which the  leasehold  is  situated.  Neither CBI nor any CBI  Subsidiary  has
received any  Communication  alleging that CBI or such CBI  Subsidiary is not in
such  compliance  and, to the best  knowledge  of CBI and the CBI  Subsidiaries,
there are no present circumstances  (including Environmental Laws that have been
adopted but are not yet  effective)  that would  prevent or  interfere  with the
continuation of such compliance.

                  (2)  There  are no legal,  administrative,  arbitral  or other
claims, causes of action or governmental  investigations of any nature,  seeking
to  impose,  or  that  could  result  in the  imposition,  on CBI  and  the  CBI
Subsidiaries of any liability arising under any  Environmental  Laws pending or,
to the best knowledge of CBI and the CBI  Subsidiaries,  threatened  against (A)
CBI or any CBI  Subsidiary,  (B) any person or entity  whose  liability  for any
Environmental  Claim,  CBI or any CBI  Subsidiary  has or may have  retained  or
assumed either  contractually or by operation of law, or (C)any real or personal
property  which  CBI or any CBI  Subsidiary  owns or  leases,  or has been or is
judged to have managed or to have  supervised or  participated in the management
of,  which  liability  might have a  material  adverse  effect on the  business,
financial   condition  or  results  of  operations  of  CBI.  CBI  and  the  CBI
Subsidiaries  are not  subject  to any  agreement,  order,  judgment,  decree or
memorandum by or with any court,  governmental  authority,  regulatory agency or
third party imposing any such liability.

                  (3) To the  best  knowledge  of CBI and the CBI  Subsidiaries,
there  are  no  legal,   administrative,   arbitral  or  other  proceedings,  or
Environmental  Claims  or  other  claims,   causes  of  action  or  governmental
investigations  of any nature,  seeking to impose,  or that could  result in the
imposition,  on CBI or any CBI  Subsidiary  of any  liability  arising under any
Environmental  Laws pending or threatened  against any real or personal property
in which CBI or any CBI Subsidiary holds a security  interest in connection with
a loan or a loan  participation  which liability  might have a material  adverse
effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of CBI. CBI
and the CBI  Subsidiaries  are not subject to any  agreement,  order,  judgment,
decree or memorandum by or with any court,  governmental  authority,  regulatory
agency or third party imposing any such liability.

                  (4) With  respect to all real and personal  property  owned or
leased by CBI or any CBI Subsidiary,  other than OREO, CBI has made available to
CBOV copies of any  environmental  audits,  analyses  and surveys that have been
prepared  relating to such  properties.  With respect to all OREO held by CBI or
any CBI  Subsidiary  and all  real or  personal  property  which  CBI or any CBI
Subsidiary  has been or is  judged  to have  managed  or to have  supervised  or
participated  in  the  management  of,  CBI  has  made  available  to  CBOV  the
information relating to such OREO available to CBI. CBI and the CBI Subsidiaries
are in compliance in all material respects with all recommendations contained in
any  environmental  audits,   analyses  and  surveys  relating  to  any  of  the
properties, real or personal, described in this subsection (4).

                  (5)  There  are  no  past  or  present  actions,   activities,
circumstances,  conditions, events or incidents,  including, without limitation,
the release,  emission,  discharge or disposal of any Materials of Environmental
Concern,  that could  reasonably  form the basis of any  Environmental  Claim or
other claim or action or  governmental  investigation  that could  result in the
imposition of any liability  arising under any  Environmental  Laws currently in
effect or adopted but not yet  effective  against CBI or any CBI  Subsidiary  or
against any person or entity whose liability for any Environmental  Claim CBI or
any CBI Subsidiary has or may have retained or assumed either  contractually  or
by operation of law.

                                    ARTICLE 4

                       Conduct Prior to the Effective Date

         4.1 Access to Records and Properties.  CBOV will keep CBI, and CBI will
keep CBOV  advised of all  material  developments  relevant to their  respective
businesses prior to consummation of the  Reorganization.  Prior to the Effective
Date,  CBI, on the one hand,  and CBOV on the other,  agree to give to the other
party reasonable access to all the premises and books and records (including tax
returns filed and those in preparation) of it and its  subsidiaries and to cause
its officers to furnish the other with such  financial  and  operating  data and
other information with respect to the business and properties as the other shall
from time to time  request for the  purposes of  verifying  the  warranties  and
representations set forth herein; provided, however, that any such investigation
shall be  conducted  in such manner as not to  interfere  unreasonably  with the
operation of the respective business of the other.

         4.2  Confidentiality.  Between  the  date  of  this  Agreement  and the
Effective  Date,  CBI and CBOV each will maintain in  confidence,  and cause its
directors,  officers,  employees, agents and advisors to maintain in confidence,
and not use to the  detriment  of the other party,  any  written,  oral or other
information  obtained  in  confidence  from the other  party or a third party in
connection with this Agreement or the  transactions  contemplated  hereby unless
such information is already known to such party or to others not bound by a duty
of confidentiality or unless such information becomes publicly available through
no  fault  of  such  party,  unless  use of such  information  is  necessary  or
appropriate  in making any filing or obtaining any consent or approval  required
for the  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated  hereby or unless  the
furnishing or use of such information is required by or necessary or appropriate
in connection


<PAGE>



with legal  proceedings.  If the  Reorganization is not consummated,  each party
will return or destroy as much of such written  information as may reasonably be
requested.

         4.3 Registration  Statement,  Proxy Statement and Shareholder Approval.
The Board of  Directors of CBOV,  and the Board of  Directors of CBI,  each will
duly call and will hold a meeting of their  respective  shareholders  as soon as
practicable  for  the  purpose  of  approving  the  Reorganization   (the  "CBOV
Shareholders' Meeting" and the "CBI Shareholders'  Meeting",  respectively) and,
subject to the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of CBOV and of CBI (as
advised in writing by its counsel), CBOV and CBI each shall use its best efforts
to solicit and obtain  votes of the holders of its Common  Stock in favor of the
Reorganization and will comply with the provisions in their respective  Articles
of  Incorporation  and Bylaws  relating  to the call and holding of a meeting of
shareholders for such purpose; each member of the Board of Directors of CBOV and
CBI shall vote all shares of CBOV  Common  Stock and CBI Common  Stock under his
control (and not held in a fiduciary  capacity) in favor of the  Reorganization;
and CBOV and CBI shall, at the other's request, recess or adjourn the meeting if
such recess or  adjournment is deemed by the other to be necessary or desirable.
CBI and CBOV will prepare jointly the proxy  statement/prospectus  to be used in
connection with the CBOV Shareholders' Meeting and the CBI Shareholders' Meeting
(the  "Joint  Proxy  Statement").  CBI will  prepare  and file  with the SEC the
Registration  Statement, of which such Joint Proxy Statement shall be a part and
will use its best efforts to have the Registration  Statement declared effective
as promptly as possible.  When the Registration  Statement or any post-effective
amendment  or  supplement  thereto  shall  become  effective,  and at all  times
subsequent to such  effectiveness,  up to and including the date of the Meeting,
such  Registration  Statement and all  amendments or supplements  thereto,  with
respect to all  information  set forth  therein  furnished or to be furnished by
CBOV relating to CBOV and by CBI relating to the CBI Companies,  (i) will comply
in all material  respects with the  provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and
any other applicable statutory or regulatory requirements,  including applicable
state  blue-sky  and  securities  laws,  and (ii) will not  contain  any  untrue
statement  of a material  fact or omit to state a material  fact  required to be
stated  therein  or  necessary  to make the  statements  contained  therein  not
misleading;  provided, however, in no event shall any party hereto be liable for
any untrue  statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact in
the  Registration  Statement  made in reliance  upon,  and in  conformity  with,
written  information  concerning  another  party  furnished  by such other party
specifically for use in the Registration Statement.

         4.4 Operation of the Business of CBOV and CBI. CBOV and CBI each agrees
that from the date hereof to the  Effective  Date it will  operate its  business
substantially  as  presently  operated  and only in the  ordinary  course,  and,
consistent with such operation,  it will use its best efforts to preserve intact
its  relationships  with  persons  having  business  dealings  with it.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing,  CBOV and CBI each agrees that it will
not, without the prior written consent of the other:

                  (a) Make any change in its authorized  capital stock, or issue
or sell any additional  shares of,  securities  convertible into or exchangeable
for, or options, warrants or rights to purchase, its capital stock, nor shall it

<PAGE>



its  outstanding  shares of capital  stock,  provided that CBI and CBOV each may
issue shares of common stock pursuant to options  granted or issued prior to the
date hereof:

                  (b)      Voluntarily make any changes in the composition of 
its officers, directors or other key management personnel;

                  (c)  Make  any  change  in the  compensation  or  title of any
officer,  director  of  key  management  employee  or  make  any  change  in the
compensation  or title of any other  employee,  other than  permitted by current
employment  policies in the ordinary  course of business,  any of which  changes
shall be reported promptly to the other party;

                  (d)  Enter  into  any  bonus,  incentive  compensation,  stock
option,  deferred compensation,  profit sharing,  thrift,  retirement,  pension,
group insurance or other benefit plan or any employment or consulting agreement;

                  (e) Incur any  obligation  or liability  (whether  absolute or
contingent, excluding suits instituted against it), make any pledge, or encumber
any of its assets, nor dispose of any of its assets in any other manner,  except
in the ordinary  course of its business and for adequate  value, or as otherwise
specifically permitted in this Agreement;

                  (f) Except as permitted  by Section  4.4(a)  hereof,  issue or
contract  to issue any shares of its  Common  Stock,  options  for shares of its
Common Stock, or securities exchangeable for or convertible into such shares;

                  (g)      Knowingly waive any right to substantial value:

                  (h)      Enter into material transactions otherwise than in 
the ordinary course of its business;

                  (i)      Alter, amend or repeal its Bylaws or Articles of 
Incorporation; or

                  (j)  Propose  or take any other  action  which  would make any
representation or warranty in Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 hereof untrue.

         4.5  Dividends.  CBI and CBOV each agree that the other may declare and
pay only regular  periodic cash dividends in the ordinary course of business and
consistent  with  past  practice  from the date of this  Agreement  through  the
Effective Date.

         4.6 No  Solicitation.  (a) Unless and until this  Agreement  shall have
been  terminated  pursuant to its terms,  neither CBOV nor any of its  officers,
directors,   representatives  or  agents  shall,  directly  or  indirectly,  (i)
encourage, solicit or initiate discussions or negotiations with any person other
than CBI  concerning any merger,  share  exchange,  sale of substantial  assets,
tender offer, sale of shares of capital stock or similar  transaction  involving
CBOV,  (ii)  enter  into any  agreement  with any third  party  providing  for a
business  combination  transaction,  equity  investment or sale of a significant
amount of assets, or (iii) furnish any information to any other

person  relating  to or in  support  of such  transaction.  CBOV  will  promptly
communicate  to CBI the terms of any proposal which it may receive in respect to
any of the foregoing transactions.

         (b) Unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant
to its terms, neither CBI nor any of its officers, directors, representatives or
agents  shall,  directly  or  indirectly,  (i)  encourage,  solicit or  initiate
discussions  or  negotiations  with any person  other than CBOV  concerning  any
merger, share exchange, sale of substantial assets, tender offer, sale of shares
of  capital  stock or similar  transaction  involving  CBI,  (ii) enter into any
agreement with any third party providing for a business combination transaction,
equity  investment or sale of a significant  amount of assets,  or (iii) furnish
any  information  to  any  other  person  relating  to or  in  support  of  such
transaction.  CBI will  promptly  communicate  to CBOV the terms of any proposal
which it may receive in respect to any of the foregoing transactions.

         4.7  Regulatory  Filings.  CBI  and  CBOV  shall  prepare  jointly  all
regulatory  filings required to consummate the transactions  contemplated by the
Agreement  and the Plan of Share  Exchange  and submit the filings for  approval
with the Federal Reserve Board and the SCC, and any other  governing  regulatory
authority,  as soon as practicable after the date hereof. CBI and CBOV shall use
their best efforts to obtain approvals of such filings.

         4.8 Public Announcements. Each party will consult with the other before
issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect
to the  Reorganization  and shall not issue any such  press  release or make any
such public statement prior to such  consultations  except as may be required by
law.

         4.9  Notice of  Breach.  CBI and CBOV will give  written  notice to the
other promptly upon becoming aware of the impending or threatened  occurrence of
any  event   which  would   cause  or   constitute   a  breach  of  any  of  the
representations,  warranties  or  covenants  made  to the  other  party  in this
Agreement and will use its best efforts to prevent or promptly remedy the same.

         4.10     Accounting Treatment.  CBI and CBOV shall each use their best 
efforts to ensure that the Reorganization qualifies for pooling-of-interests 
accounting treatments.

         4.11 Reorganization  Consummation.  Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement,  each party shall use its best efforts in good faith to take,
or cause to be  taken,  all  actions,  and to do or cause to be done all  things
necessary,  proper or desirable, or advisable under applicable laws, as promptly
as  practicable  so as to  permit  consummation  of  the  Reorganization  at the
earliest  possible date,  consistent  with Section 1.3 herein,  and to otherwise
enable consummation of the transactions  contemplated hereby and shall cooperate
fully with the other parties  hereto to that end, and each of CBOV and CBI shall
use,  and shall cause each of their  respective  subsidiaries  to use,  its best
efforts to obtain all consents  (governmental  or other)  necessary or desirable
for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         4.12     Amendment to Articles of Incorporation.  At the CBI
Shareholders' Meeting, the CBI Board of Directors shall solicit the approval of 
the shareholders of CBI of an


<PAGE>



amendment  to the  Articles of  Incorporation  of CBI  sufficient  to permit the
appointment  of all CBOV  Directors to the CBI Board in accordance  with Section
1.2 hereof.

         4.13     Employment Contracts.  CBI and CBOV each will use its best 
efforts to cause all employment contracts to which it is a party to be amended 
in the manner described in Section 6.1(h).

                                    ARTICLE 5

                              Additional Agreements

         5.1 Conversion of Stock Options.  (a) On the Effective Date, all rights
with respect to CBOV Common Stock  pursuant to stock  options  ("CBOV  Options")
granted by CBOV  under a CBOV stock  option  plan which are  outstanding  on the
Effective  Date,  whether or not they  exercisable,  shall be converted into and
become rights with respect to CBI Common  Stock,  and CBI shall assume each CBOV
Option in accordance  with the terms of the stock option plan under which it was
issued  and the  stock  option  agreement  by  which it is  evidenced.  From the
Effective  Date  forward,  (i) each CBOV  Option  assumed  by CBI may be excised
solely for shares of CBI Common  Stock,  (ii) the number of shares of CBI Common
Stock subject to each CBOV Option shall be equal to the number of shares of CBOV
Common Stock  subject to such option  immediately  prior to the  Effective  Date
multiplied by the Exchange  Ratio and (iii) the per share  exercise  price under
each such CBOV Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price
under each such option by the Exchange  Ratio and  rounding  down to the nearest
cent; provided, however, that the terms of each CBOV Option shall, in accordance
with its terms,  be subject to further  adjustment as appropriate to reflect any
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction after
the  Effective  Date.  It is intended  that the  foregoing  assumption  shall be
undertaken in a manner that will not constitute a  "modification"  as defined in
Section 425 of the Code,  as to any stock  option which is an  "incentive  stock
option."

         5.2      Accounting Treatment.  This Reorganization shall qualify for
pooling-of-interests accounting treatment.

         5.3 Benefit Plans. Upon consummation of the Reorganization,  as soon as
administratively  practicable  and subject to CBI's best  efforts,  employees of
CBOV shall be  entitled  to  participate  in CBI  pension,  benefit,  health and
similar  plans on the same  terms and  conditions  as  employees  of CBI and its
subsidiaries,  without waiting periods or exceptions for pre-existing conditions
and giving  effect to years of service  with CBOV as if such  service  were with
CBI.  Alternatively,  subject to applicable law, CBOV may maintain any or all of
the  CBOV  employee  benefit  plans  that  currently  are  in  effect.  Provided
employment  contracts are amended in the manner described in Section 6.1(h), CBI
also shall assume and honor in  accordance  with their terms as in effect on the
date hereof (or as amended after the date hereof with the prior written  consent
of CBI), all employment,  severance, consulting and other compensation contracts
and agreements  Previously  Disclosed and executed in writing by CBOV on the one
hand and any individual current or former director,  officer or employee thereof
on the other hand, including


<PAGE>



the CBOV  Directors'  deferred fee plan,  copies of which have  previously  been
delivered by CBOV to CBI.

         5.4  Indemnification.  CBI agrees that following the Effective Date, it
shall  indemnify and hold harmless any person who has rights to  indemnification
from CBOV,  to the same  extent  and on the same  conditions  as such  person is
entitled to  indemnification  pursuant to  Virginia  law and CBOV's  Articles of
Incorporation  or  Bylaws,  as in effect on the date of this  Agreement,  to the
extent legally permitted to do so, with respect to matters occurring on or prior
to the Effective Date. CBI further agrees that any such person who has rights to
indemnification  pursuant to this  Section 5.4 is  expressly  made a third party
beneficiary  of this Section 5.4 and may  directly,  in such  person's  personal
capacity,  enforce such rights  through an action at law or in equity or through
any other manner or means of redress  allowable  under  Virginia law to the same
extent as if such person were a party hereto. Without limiting the foregoing, in
any  case  in  which  corporate  approval  may be  required  to  effectuate  any
indemnification,  CBI  shall  direct,  at  the  election  of  the  party  to  be
indemnified,  that the determination of permissibility of indemnification  shall
be  made  by  independent  counsel  mutually  agreed  upon  between  CBI and the
indemnified  party. CBI shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain CBOV's
existing  directors'  and  officers'  liability  policy,  or some other  policy,
including  CBI's  existing  policy,  providing  at  least  comparable  coverage,
covering persons who are currently covered by such insurance of CBOV on terms no
less favorable than those in effect on the date hereof.

                                    ARTICLE 6

                        Conditions to the Reorganization

         6.1   Conditions   to  Each   Party's   Obligations   to   Effect   the
Reorganization. The respective obligations of each of CBI and CBOV to effect the
Reorganization and the other transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be

following conditions:

                  (a)      Shareholder Approvals.  Shareholders of CBOV and of 
CBI shall have approved all matters relating to this Agreement and the 
Reorganization required to be approved by such shareholders in accordance with 
Virginia law.

                  (b) Regulatory Approvals. This Agreement and the Plan of Share
Exchange shall have been approved by the Federal Reserve, the SCC, and any other
regulatory  authority  whose  approval  is  required  for  consummation  of  the
transactions  contemplated hereby, and such approvals shall not have imposed any
condition or requirement which would so materially adversely impact the economic
or business  benefits of the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement as to
render  inadvisable  the  consummation of the  Reorganization  in the reasonable
opinion of the Board of Directors of CBI or CBOV.

                  (c)      Registration Statement.  The Registration Statement 
shall have been declared effective and shall not be subject to a stop order or 
any threatened stop order.



<PAGE>



                  (d) Tax Opinion.  CBI and CBOV shall have  received an opinion
of  Williams,   Mullen,   Christian  &  Dobbins,  or  other  counsel  reasonably
satisfactory  to CBI and  CBOV,  to the  effect  that  the  Reorganization  will
constitute  a  reorganization  within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal
Revenue Code and that no gain or loss will be recognized by the  shareholders of
CBOV to the extent they  receive CBI Common  Stock  solely in exchange for their
CBOV Common Stock in the Reorganization.

                  (e)  Accountants'  Letter.  CBI and CBOV shall have received a
letter,  dated as of the  Effective  Date,  from  Mitchell,  Wiggins &  Company,

Reorganization will qualify for pooling-of-interests  accounting treatment under
generally accepted accounting principles.

                  (f) Opinions of Counsel.  CBOV shall have delivered to CBI and
CBI shall have delivered to CBOV opinions of counsel,  dated as of the Effective
Date, as to such matters as they may each reasonably request with respect to the
transactions  contemplated by this Agreement and in a form reasonably acceptable
to each of them.

                  (g) Legal  Proceedings.  Neither  CBI nor CBOV  shall be  
subject  to any order, decree  or  injunction  of a court or  agency of  
competent  jurisdiction  which enjoins or prohibits the consummation of the 
Reorganization.

                  (h) Employment Contracts.  All employment contracts of CBI and
CBOV shall have been effectively amended in order that the Reorganization  shall
not be  considered a change of control that would entitle any employee of CBI or
CBOV to any special severance payments after the Effective Date.

         6.2 Conditions to Obligations of CBI. The  obligations of CBI to effect
the Reorganization  shall be subject to the fulfillment or waiver at or prior to
the Effective Date of the following additional conditions:

                  (a)    Representations    and   Warranties.    Each   of   the
representations  and  warranties  contained  herein  of CBOV  shall  be true and
correct as of the date of this  Agreement and upon the  Effective  Date with the
same effect as though all such  representations  and warranties had been made on
the Effective Date, except (i) for any such  representations and warranties made
as of a specified date, which shall be true and correct as of such date, (ii) as
expressly  contemplated  by this  Agreement,  or (iii) for  representations  and
warranties the inaccuracies of which relate to matters that,  individually or in
the aggregate,  do not materially  adversely affect the  Reorganization  and the
other transactions  contemplated by this Agreement and CBI shall have received a
certificate  or  certificates  signed by the Chief  Executive  Officer and Chief
Financial Officer of CBOV dated the Effective Date, to such effect.

                  (b) Performance of  Obligations.  CBOV shall have performed in
all material respects all obligations  required to be performed by it under this
Agreement prior to the Effective Date, and CBI shall have received a certificate

                  (c) Affiliate  Letters.  Each  shareholder  of CBOV who may be
deemed by counsel  for CBI to be an  "affiliate"  of CBOV  within the meaning of
Rule 145 under the  Securities  Act of 1933 shall have  executed and delivered a
commitment and undertaking to the effect that (1) such  shareholder will dispose
of the  shares  of CBI  Common  Stock  received  by him in  connection  with the
Reorganization  only in accordance  with the provisions of paragraph (d) of Rule
145 and in a manner that would not prevent the  Reorganization  from  qualifying
for  pooling-of-interests  accounting treatment;  (2) such shareholders will not
dispose  of any such  shares  until  CBI has  received  an  opinion  of  counsel
acceptable to it that such proposed  disposition will not violate the provisions
of any  applicable  security laws; and (3) the  certificates  representing  said
shares may bear a conspicuous legend referring to the forgoing restrictions.

                  (d)  Investment  Banking  Letter.  CBI shall  have  received a
written  opinion  in form and  substance  satisfactory  to CBI from  McKinnon  &
Company, Inc. addressed to CBI and dated the date the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
is mailed to  shareholders  of CBI, or in the alternative on the Effective Date,
to the  effect  that the terms of the  Reorganization,  including  the  Exchange
Ratio,  are fair,  from a financial point of view, to CBI. At its option CBI may
require that such fairness  opinion be updated as of the Effective  Date and, in
such event,  it shall also be a condition to CBI'S  obligation to consummate the
Reorganization that CBI receive such updated fairness opinion.

         6.3  Conditions to  Obligations  of CBOV.  The  obligations  of CBOV to
effect the  Reorganization  shall be subject to the  fulfillment or waiver at or

                  (a)      By the mutual consent of the Board of Directors of
each of CBI and CBOV;

                  (b)      By the respective Boards of Directors of CBI or CBOV 
if the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 have not been met or waived by CBI

if the Reorganization is not consummated by August 31, 1996.

                  (f)(i)  By the  Board  of  Directors  of CBI if the  Board  of
Directors  of CBOV  receives a  subsequent  offer to  acquire  CBOV and does not

none of the respective  representations and warranties,  obligations,  covenants
and agreements of the parties shall survive the Effective Date, provided that no
such representations, warranties, obligations, covenants and agreements shall be

equity  which  otherwise  would be  available  against the claims of any person,
including without limitation any shareholder or former shareholder of either CBI

accountants,   counsel,  printers  and  persons  involved  in  the  transactions
contemplated  by this Agreement,  including the preparation of the  Registration
Statement and the Joint Proxy Statement.

                  (c) If this  Agreement is terminated by CBI or CBOV because of

covenant,  undertaking  or restriction  set forth herein,  and provided that the

of the other  party,  including  fees and  expenses of  consultants,  investment
bankers,   accountants,   counsel,   printers,   and  persons  involved  in  the

and  expenses  by the parties  shall be made  within  thirty (30) days after the

                                    ARTICLE 8

                                                        of Reorganization

                             PLAN OF SHARE EXCHANGE
                                     BETWEEN
                            Commerce Bank of Virginia
                                       AND
                        Community Bankshares Incorporated

         Pursuant  to this Plan of Share  Exchange  ("Plan of Share  Exchange"),
Commerce  Bank of  Virginia  ("CBOV"),  a Virginia  state bank,  shall  become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Community Bankshares Incorporated ("CBI"), a Virginia
corporation  pursuant to a share exchange under Section 13.1-717 of the Virginia
Stock Corporation Act.

                                    ARTICLE 1

                           Terms of the Share Exchange

         1.1 The Share  Exchange.  Subject  to the terms and  conditions  of the
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of December 12, 1995 between CBOV
and CBI, at the Effective Date,  CBOV shall become a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
CBI through the exchange of each  outstanding  share of common stock of CBOV for
shares of the common stock of CBI in accordance with Section 2.1 of this Plan of
Share Exchange and pursuant to a share  exchange  under Section  13.1-717 of the
Virginia Stock  Corporation Act (the "Share  Exchange").  At the Effective Date,
the Share Exchange shall have the effect as provided in Section  13.1-721 of the
Virginia Stock Corporation Act.

         1.2 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Articles of Incorporation
and Bylaws of CBI in effect  immediately  prior to the consummation of the Share
Exchange  shall remain in effect  following the Effective  Date until  otherwise
amended or repealed.

         1.3 Management  and Business of CBOV and CBI. The  directors,  officers
and  employees  of CBOV will not change as a result of the  Reorganization.  The
members of the CBOV Board shall become  directors of CBI on the Effective  Date.
When the CBOV directors become directors of CBI, three members of the CBOV Board
shall  become  members  of  each  of the  three  classes  of CBI  Directors,  as
determined  by the CBOV Board.  The CBOV  Directors  appointed  to Class I shall
serve until the 1998 annual meeting of shareholders; those appointed to Class II
shall serve until the 1999 annual meeting of  shareholders;  and those appointed
to Class III shall  serve  until the 1997 annual  meeting of  shareholders.  The
parties  anticipate that immediately before the Effective Date CBI will have ten
directors and CBOV will have nine directors.  As a result of the Reorganization,
CBI will have 19 directors on and after the Effective  Date. It is the intention
of CBI and CBOV that after the Effective Date, directors of


<PAGE>



CBOV,  or  individuals  designated  by  directors  of CBOV,  shall  continue  to
constitute nine nineteenths (9/19) of the Board of CBI and the parties shall use
their best  efforts to  maintain  that  ratio.  The  parties  also  acknowledge,
however,  that such  ratio  might  change as a result of  unanticipated  events,
including,  for example,  the  acquisition in the future of another bank by CBI.
The parties intend that after the Effective Date, the chief executive officer of
CBOV and the chief  executive  officer of The  Community  Bank,  a wholly  owned
subsidiary  of CBI,  each will  attend  the  meetings  of the  other's  Board of
Directors.

                                    ARTICLE 2

                           Manner of Exchanging Shares

         2.1  Conversion of Shares.  Upon,  and by reason of, the Share Exchange
becoming  effective  pursuant to the issuance of a Certificate of Share Exchange
by the Virginia State  Corporation  Commission,  no cash, except as set forth in
Section 2.3 below,  shall be allocated to the  shareholders  of CBOV,  and stock
shall be issued and allocated as follows:

                  (a) Each share of common stock,  par value $3.50 per share, of
CBOV ("CBOV  Common  Stock")  issued and  outstanding  immediately  prior to the
Effective Date shall, by operation of law, be automatically exchanged for 1.4044
(the "Exchange  Ratio") shares of common stock of CBI, par value $3.00 per share
(CBI  Common  Stock),  plus  cash  for  fractional  shares.  Each  holder  of  a
certificate  representing  any shares of CBOV Common Stock upon the surrender of
his CBOV stock  certificates  to CBI,  duly  endorsed for transfer in accordance
with  Section 2.2 below,  will be  entitled  to receive in  exchange  therefor a
certificate  or  certificates  representing  the  number of shares of CBI Common
Stock that his shares shall be converted  into  pursuant to the Exchange  Ratio.
Each such  holder of CBOV  Common  Stock  shall  have the right to  receive  any
dividends  previously declared but unpaid as to such stock and the consideration
described in Sections  2.1 and 2.4 upon the  surrender  of such  certificate  in
accordance  with  Section  2.3. In the event CBI changes the number of shares of
CBI Common Stock issued and outstanding  prior to the Effective Date as a result
of any stock split,  stock dividends,  recapitalization  or similar  transaction
with respect to the  outstanding  CBI Common Stock and the record date  therefor
shall  be  prior  to  the   Effective   Date,   the  Exchange   Ratio  shall  be
proportionately adjusted.

                  (b) Shares of CBOV Common Stock issued and outstanding  shall,
by virtue of the  Reorganization,  continue to be issued and outstanding  shares
held by CBI.

         2.2 Conversion of Stock Options.  (a) On the Effective Date, all rights
with respect to CBOV Common Stock  pursuant to stock  options  ("CBOV  Options")
granted by CBOV  under a CBOV stock  option  plan which are  outstanding  on the
Effective  Date,  whether or not then  exercisable,  shall be converted into and
become rights with respect to CBI Common  Stock,  and CBI shall assume each CBOV
Option in accordance  with the terms of the stock option plan under which it was
issued  and the  stock  option  agreement  by  which it is  evidenced.  From the
Effective  Date  forward,  (i) each CBOV Option  assumed by CBI may be exercised
solely for


<PAGE>



shares of CBI  Common  Stock,  (ii) the  number of  shares of CBI  Common  Stock
subject  to each  CBOV  Option  shall be equal to the  number  of shares of CBOV
Common Stock  subject to such option  immediately  prior to the  Effective  Date
multiplied by the Exchange  Ratio and (iii) the per share  exercise  price under
each such CBOV Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price
under each such option by the Exchange  Ratio and  rounding  down to the nearest
cent; provided, however, that the terms of each CBOV Option shall, in accordance
with its terms,  be subject to further  adjustment as appropriate to reflect any
stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or other similar transaction after
the  Effective  Date.  It is  intended  that the  forgoing  assumption  shall be
undertaken in a manner that will not constitute a  "modification"  as defined in
Section 425 of the Code,  as to any stock  option which is an  "incentive  stock
option."

                  (b) Pursuant to approval of this Plan of Share  Exchange,  the
CBI stock  option  plan shall be amended to  increase  the number of  authorized
shares to cover the  conversion of the CBOV Options into options to purchase CBI
common  stock  pursuant to Section  2.2(a)  above and to  otherwise  provide for
conversion of the CBOV Options as described herein.

         2.3 Manner of Exchange.  As promptly as practicable after the Effective
Date,  CBI  shall  cause  The  Community  Bank,  acting  as the  exchange  agent
("Exchange  Agent")  to  send to  each  former  shareholder  of  record  of CBOV
immediately  prior  to the  Effective  Date  transmittal  materials  for  use in

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



Board of Directors
Community Bankshares Incorporated
Petersburg, Virginia

We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of  Community
Bankshares  Incorporated,  and its  subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and the related  consolidated  statements of income,  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  Corporation'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 consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Community Bankshares
Incorporated,  and its subsidiary at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results
of their  operations  and their  cash  flows for each of the three  years in the
period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of operations:  Community  Bankshares  Incorporated is a one bank holding
company headquartered in Petersburg, Virginia. The Corporation's subsidiary, The
Community  Bank,  provides a variety of financial  services to  individuals  and
corporate  customers  from  its  four  branches  located  throughout   Southside
Virginia.

The Community Bank's  subsidiary,  Community Title Insurance Agency,  Inc., is a
corporation  organized  under  the laws of the  Commonwealth  of  Virginia.  The
Company's primary purpose is to own a partnership  interest in a title insurance
company.

Consolidation and basis of financial  statement  presentation:  The accompanying
consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of Community Bankshares
Incorporated,  and its subsidiary, The Community Bank, including its subsidiary,
Community Title Insurance Agency, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions
and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have been prepared in conformity  with
generally  accepted  accounting   principles.   In  preparing  the  consolidated
financial statements, management uses estimates and assumptions. Those estimates
and  assumptions  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities,  the
disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities,  and the reported revenues and
expenses.

Material  estimates that are  particularly  susceptible  to  significant  change
relate  to the  determination  of the  allowance  for  losses  on loans  and the
valuation  of  real  estate  acquired  in  connection  with  foreclosures  or in
satisfaction  of loans.  A substantial  portion of the  Corporation's  loans are
secured by real estate in local markets. In addition,  foreclosed real estate is
located in this same  market.  Accordingly,  the  ultimate  collectibility  of a
substantial  portion of the  Corporation's  loan portfolio and the recovery of a
substantial  portion  of the  carrying  amount of  foreclosed  real  estate  are
susceptible to changes in local market conditions.

While  management  uses available  information to recognize  losses on loans and
foreclosed  real estate,  future  additions to the  allowances  may be necessary
based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies,
as an  integral  part of their  examination  process,  periodically  review  the
Corporation's  allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed  real estate.  Such
agencies may require the  Corporation  to recognize  additions to the allowances
based on their  judgments  about  information  available  to them at the time of
their examination.

Cash and cash equivalents: For purposes of reporting the consolidated statements
of cash flows,  the Corporation  includes cash on hand,  amounts due from banks,
federal  funds sold and all highly  liquid  debt  instruments  purchased  with a
maturity  of  three  months  or  less  as  cash  and  cash  equivalents  on  the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows from deposits and loans are
reported net.

The Bank maintains  amounts due from banks which, at times, may exceed federally
insured limits. The Bank has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Accounting  change and  securities:  Effective  January 1, 1994, the Corporation
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting
for  Certain   Investments  in  Debt  and  Equity  Securities.   This  Statement
establishes   accounting  and  reporting   standards  for  investments  in  debt
securities and investments in equity  securities that have readily  determinable
fair values.  SFAS No. 115 requires that securities be classified as either Held
to Maturity, Available for Sale, or Trading.

Securities are  classified as held to maturity when  management has the positive
intent and the Bank has the  ability at the time of  purchase to hold them until
maturity.  These  securities  are carried at cost adjusted for  amortization  of
premium and  accretion of discount,  computed by the  straight-line  method over
their  contractual  lives. If the interest method of accounting for amortization
of premiums and  accretion of discounts  was used,  it would not have a material
effect on the consolidated financial statements. Gains and losses on the sale of
such securities are determined by the specific identification method.

Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held
to maturity or on a long-term  basis are  classified  as available  for sale and
accounted for at market value on an aggregate  basis.  These include  securities
used as part of the Bank's  asset/liability  management strategy and may be sold
in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, the need or desire to
increase capital, to satisfy regulatory  requirements and other similar factors.
Unrealized   gains  or  losses  are   reported  as  increases  or  decreases  in
stockholders' equity, net of the related deferred tax effect. Realized gains and
losses of  securities  available for sale are included in net  securities  gains
(losses) based on the specific identification method.

Trading securities,  which are generally held for the short term in anticipation
of market gains,  are carried at fair value.  Realized and unrealized  gains and
losses on trading  account  assets are  included in  interest  income on trading
account securities.  The Corporation held no trading securities during the years
ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993.

Accounting  change and loans and allowance for loan losses:  Loans are stated at
the amount of unpaid  principal,  reduced by unearned  discount  and fees and an
allowance for possible loan losses.

Unearned  interest on  discounted  loans is amortized to income over the life of
the loans, using the interest method.  For all other loans,  interest is accrued
daily on the outstanding balances.

The allowance for loan losses is  maintained at a level  considered  adequate to
provide  for  losses  that  can be  reasonably  anticipated.  The  allowance  is
increased  by  provisions  charged  to  operating  expense  and  reduced  by net
charge-offs.  The Bank makes  periodic  credit reviews of the loan portfolio and
considers  current economic  conditions,  historical loss experience,  review of
specific  problem  loans and other  factors in  determining  the adequacy of the
allowance balance.

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan  origination  costs
are being deferred and the net amount  amortized as an adjustment of the related
loan's yield.  The Bank is generally  amortizing  these amounts over the average
contractual life.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation  adopted the SFAS No. 114, Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  This  Statement,  as amended by SFAS No.
118,  generally  requires  impaired loans to be measured on the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's  effective  interest rate or
as an expedient,  at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral  if the loan is collateral  dependent.  A loan is impaired when it is
probable the creditor  will be unable to collect all  contractual  principal and
interest  payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan  agreement.  The
Bank does not aggregate loans for risk classification.

Loans,  including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if they
are past due as to maturity or payment of  principal or interest for a period of
more than 90 days,  unless  such loans are well  secured  and in the  process of
collection.  Loans that are on a current payment status or past due less than 90
days may also be  classified  as  nonaccrual  if  repayment in full of principal
and/or  interest is in doubt.  Loans may be returned to accrual  status when all
principal  and interest  amounts  contractually  due are  reasonably  assured of
repayment.

When a loan  is  classified  as  nonaccrual,  all  interest  receivable  on that
particular  loan is  charged  back to  income  at that  time.  When  the  future
collectibility of the recorded loan balance is expected,  interest income may be
recognized on a cash basis. On charged-off loans, cash receipts in excess of the
amount  charged to the  allowance for loan losses is recognized as income on the
cash basis.

The basic policy of the Bank is to charge off loans when the loss can be readily
determined.  Changes in the allowance for loan losses relating to impaired loans
are charged or credited to the provision for loan losses.

Bank premises and equipment: Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated  depreciation.  Depreciation  is  computed  using the  straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

                                             Years
                                             ------

Buildings and improvements                   5 - 50
Furniture and fixtures                       3 - 20


Foreclosed  properties:  Foreclosed  properties  represents real estate held for
resale acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings.  Foreclosed properties
are held for sale and are  recorded at the lower of the  recorded  amount of the
loan or fair value of the  properties  less  estimated  costs of  disposal.  Any
write-down to fair value at the time of  foreclosure is charged to the allowance
for loan losses.  Property is evaluated  regularly to ensure the recorded amount
is supported by its current fair value and  valuation  allowances  to reduce the
carrying  amount to fair value less  estimated  costs to dispose are recorded as
necessary and are charged to expense.

Income  taxes:  The  provision  for income taxes relates to items of revenue and
expenses recognized for financial  accounting purposes during each of the years.
The actual  current tax  liability  may be more or less than the charge  against
earnings due to the effect of deferred income taxes.

NOTE 1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability  method  whereby  deferred tax assets
are recognized for deductible  temporary  differences and operating loss and tax
credit  carryforwards  and deferred tax  liabilities  are recognized for taxable
temporary  differences.  Temporary  differences are the differences  between the
reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and their tax bases.  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.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are adjusted for the
effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.  As explained
in Note 6 to the  consolidated  financial  statements,  during  the  year  ended
December 31, 1993, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for deferred
income taxes.

Earnings per share: All per share calculations are based on the weighted average
number of shares  outstanding of common and common equivalent shares during each
year.  Calculations are based on 1,208,672 shares outstanding in 1995, 1,195,026
shares outstanding in 1994, and 1,140,076 shares outstanding in 1993.

Current accounting  developments:  The Financial  Accounting Standards Board has
issued two Statements, SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of and SFAS No. 123,  Accounting
for Stock-Based  Compensation.  The accounting requirements for these Statements
are effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 1995. SFAS No. 121
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable  intangibles to be held
and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment  whenever  events or changes in
circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of an  asset  may  not  be
recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the Bank will estimate
future  undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and
its eventual  disposition.  If the sum of the expected future cash flows is less
than  the  carrying  amount  of the  asset,  an  important  loss is  recognized.
Otherwise, an impairment loss is not recognized.

SFAS No. 123  establishes  financial  accounting  and  reporting  standards  for
stock-based employee compensation plans. Those plans include all arrangements by
which  employees  receive  shares of stock or other  equity  instruments  of the
employer or the employer incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the
price of the employer's stock. This Statement provides a fair value based method
to measure  compensation  cost at the grant date based on the value of the award
and is recognized over the service period.

The Bank intends to adopt SFAS No. 121 and No. 123 beginning  January 1, 1996,
and  anticipates no material  effect on its results of operations upon the
adoption of these Statements.

Reclassifications:  Various items in the consolidated  balance sheet at December
31,  1994 have been  reclassified  to  conform  to the  classifications  used at
December 31, 1995.

Various  items in the  consolidated  statements of income and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 have been  reclassified to conform to the
classifications  used at December  31,  1995.  These  reclassifications  have no
effect on net income.

NOTE 2.  RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Bank is required to maintain  average reserve and clearing  balances in cash
with the Federal  Reserve Bank.  The total of these  balances,  after  receiving
credit for vault cash on hand, was approximately $51,000 and $29,000 at December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

At December 31, 1995,  the Bank had loans  totaling  approximately  $426,000 for
which impairment had been  recognized.  The allowance for loan losses related to
these loans totaled approximately $174,000 at December 31, 1995. At December 31,
1995 and 1994,  the Bank had  nonaccrual  loans of  approximately  $280,000  and
$564,000,  respectively.  If interest on these loans had been  recognized at the
original  interest  rates,  interest  income would have increased  approximately
$12,000 and $2,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation  adopted SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income  Taxes.  As explained  in Note 1, SFAS No. 109 adopts a liability  method
that requires the  recognition  of deferred tax assets and  liabilities  for the
expected  future  consequences  of  events  that  have  been  recognized  in the
Corporation's  financial  statements or tax returns.  In  estimating  future tax
consequences,  SFAS No. 109 generally considers all expected future events other
than  enactments of changes in tax laws or rates.  Previously,  the  Corporation
used a liability  method under SFAS No. 96, but that method gave no  recognition
to future events other than the recovery of assets and settlement of liabilities
at their reported amounts.

The  cumulative  effect of adopting  SFAS No. 109 at the  beginning  of 1993 was
deemed to be immaterial and is included in the income tax provision for the year
ended December 31, 1993.

The  components  of the income tax  provision  for the years ended  December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:

                                   1995          1994          1993

NOTE 7.  DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENTS

The Bank has adopted  deferred  compensation  agreements  for  certain  officers
providing for payments upon  retirement,  death or disability.  These agreements
consist  of  individual   contracts  with  specific   terms   determined  on  an
individual-by-individual  basis. The estimated  actuarial values of the benefits
are being charged to operations over the period from the effective dates of each
agreement to the normal retirement dates of the officers.

The amount charged to operations in 1995,  1994 and 1993,  was $44,201,  $20,412
and $18,168, respectively.

These  agreements do not qualify under the Internal  Revenue Code, and therefore
tax deductions are allowable only when benefits are paid.  Appropriate provision
has  been  made  for  deferred   income  taxes   associated  with  the  deferred
compensation liability.

The lives of the officers for which deferred  compensation  agreements have been
adopted have been insured for amounts  sufficient to discharge  the  obligations
thereunder.

Subsequent  to the  year  end,  the  Board of  Directors  voted  to  cancel  all
individual  contracts that were not vested as of December 31, 1995. In addition,
the Board voted to accelerate the  liquidation of the vested  contract by making
full and complete payment by January 31, 1996. Accordingly, the present value of
such  payment  has been  accrued and  reflected  in the  accompanying  financial
statements.

NOTE 8.  EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN WITH 401(K) PROVISIONS

Effective  January  1, 1993,  the  Corporation  established  an  Employee  Stock
Ownership Plan with 401(K)  provisions by restating,  amending and consolidating
the Employee Stock Ownership Plan originally  effective January 1, 1987, and the
Profit-Sharing  and Thrift Plan  originally  effective  December 31,  1981.  All
participants of the pension plans are eligible to participate.  Thereafter, each
employee  will  become  eligible  to  participate  in  the  plan  on  the  first
anniversary  date,  December 31,  following  their initial date of service.  The
employee  must be at least 18 years old and be employed in a full-time  position
requiring  at least  1,000  hours of  service  for the plan year  ending on that
anniversary date. The Corporation matches 75% of employee contributions up to 5%
of the participant's compensation.  Annual contributions to the ESOP are made at
the discretion of the Board of Directors.

During the year ended December 31, 1995, the ESOP  purchased  additional  shares
through the proceeds of a $365,000  direct bank loan. The shares  purchased were
pledged as collateral  for its debt. As the debt is repaid,  shares are released
and allocated to  participants.  The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance
with Statement of Position 93-6. Accordingly, the shares pledged are reported as
unearned ESOP shares in the balance sheet.  As shares are released,  the Company
reports  compensation  expense equal to the current  market price of the shares,
and the shares then become outstanding for earnings per share (EPS) computation.
Dividends  on  allocated  ESOP shares are  recorded  as a reduction  of retained
earnings.  Dividends on  unallocated  ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of
debt and interest or as  compensation  costs if paid to participants or added to
their  accounts.  There were no dividends  paid during 1995 after the  leveraged
transaction occurred.

Compensation expense for the 401(k) match and the ESOP was $105,000, $90,000 and
$72,000  for  the  three  years  ended   December  31,  1995,   1994  and  1993,
respectively. The ESOP shares as of December 31 were as follows:

NOTE 9. AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

On December 12, 1995, the Board of Directors  unanimously voted to enter into an
Agreement and Plan of  Reorganization  (the Plan) with Commerce Bank of Virginia
to combine their businesses.  Commerce Bank of Virginia is a Virginia 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,  Commerce  Bank  of  Virginia  would  become  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Community  Bankshares  Incorporated.  For each share
owned, the shareholders of Commerce Bank of Virginia would receive 1.4044 shares
of  stock of  Community  Bankshares  Incorporated.  It is  anticipated  that the
transaction will qualify for and be accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
stockholders of Community Bankshares  Incorporated and Commerce Bank of Virginia
will be  asked  to  consider  and  vote on the  proposed  Plan at  their  Annual
Meetings. If adopted by the shareholders, it is anticipated that the transaction
will  become  effective  late  in the  second  quarter  of  1996.  The  proposed
transaction is subject to approval by regulatory authorities.

If the  transaction  had  been  consummated  prior to  December  31,  1995,  the
accompanying financial statements would have included the financial position and
results of operations of Commerce Bank of Virginia. Interest income, net income,
and net income per share for the three years ended  December 31, 1995 would have
been as follows:

NOTE 10.  EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

The Corporation has entered into an employment contract with Mr. Nathan S. Jones
3rd its  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer  through  June 30,  1998.  The
contract will renew for successive terms of one year each if it is not expressly
terminated by either of the parties.  The contract provides for a minimum annual
salary,  adjusted at the  discretion of the Board of  Directors.  If, during the
term of the contract,  the Corporation  terminates Mr. Jones' employment without
cause,  the  Corporation  must  continue Mr.  Jones' salary and benefits for six
months. In addition,  the contract  provides for increased  severance pay if Mr.
Jones' employment terminates within three years after a change in control of the
Corporation.  As of December 31, 1995,  the cash amount  payable to Mr. Jones if
his employment was terminated  after a change in control would be  approximately
$360,000.

NOTE 11.  INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS

During 1993, a Cash Incentive  Plan was  established  for certain  employees and
directors of the Bank.  The Plan sets forth  predetermined  award pools for each
group of  participants.  The level of the award pool is dependent  upon the Bank
attaining  certain  returns on average assets for the year. The amounts  awarded
under  the Plan for the  years  ended  December  31,  1995,  1994 and 1993  were
$146,294, $151,860, and $105,487, respectively.

NOTE 12.  INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AND NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION PLAN

During 1993,  the Board of Directors  adopted a Stock Plan that provides for the
grant of Incentive Stock Options and the grant of Nonstatutory Stock Options and
Stock Appreciation  Rights.  This Plan was adopted to encourage key officers and
directors to acquire or to increase their  acquisition  of the Company's  common
stock, thus increasing their personal and proprietary  interest in the Company's
continued  success.  Options  may be  exercised  from date of grant  through the
period  ending  July  20,  2003  and  October  18,  2004  for  Grants  A and  B,
respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 13.  LIFE INSURANCE

The Bank is owner  and  designated  beneficiary  on life  insurance  in the face
amount of  $3,109,000  maintained on certain of its officers and  directors.  At
December 31, 1995, the cash surrender value of these policies was $481,847 which
is included in other assets.

During the third quarter of 1994,  the Bank was notified that the life insurance
carrier for the above policies,  Confederation Life Insurance Company,  had been
placed under regulatory control. Regulators have said that the insurance company
will continue to pay claims made; however, it will restrict access to cash value
until further notice.  Rehabilitators  and management are of the opinion that no
losses  will occur as a result of the  insurance  company's  rehabilitation  and
accordingly,  a provision  for possible  losses due to asset  impairment  is not
reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 14.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

SFAS No. 107,  Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial  Instruments,  requires
corporations to disclose the fair value of its financial instruments, whether or
not  recognized  in the balance  sheet,  where it is practical to estimate  that
value.

Fair value  estimates made as of December 31, 1995 are based on relevant  market
information about the financial instruments.  These estimates do not reflect any
premium or discount  that could  result from  offering  for sale at one time the
Corporation's  entire  holding of a particular  financial  instrument.  In cases
where quoted market prices are not available,  fair value estimates are based on
judgments   regarding   future  expected  loss   experience,   current  economic
conditions,  risk  characteristics of various financial  instruments,  and other
factors.  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.  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.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating
its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and cash  equivalents:  The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets
for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets' fair values.

Securities available for sale and investment securities:  Fair values were based
on quoted  market  prices,  where  available.  If quoted  market prices were not
available,  fair  values  were  based on  quoted  market  prices  of  comparable
instruments.

Loans:  The carrying  values,  reduced by estimated  inherent credit losses,  of
variable-rate  loans  and  other  loans  with  short-term  characteristics  were
considered fair values.  For other loans, the fair market values were calculated
by discounting  scheduled future cash flows using current interest rates offered
on loans with similar  terms  adjusted to reflect the  estimated  credit  losses
inherent in the portfolio.

Accrued interest  receivable and accrued interest payable:  The carrying amounts
reported  in the  balance  sheets for accrued  interest  receivable  and accrued
interest payable approximate their fair values.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 14.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Deposit liabilities: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as
noninterest-bearing  demand deposits,  NOW, savings,  and money market deposits,
was, by  definition,  equal to the amount  payable on demand as of December  31,
1995.  The fair value of  certificates  of deposit  was based on the  discounted
value of  contractual  cash  flows,  calculated  using the  discount  rates that
equaled the interest rates offered at the valuation date for deposits of similar
remaining maturities.

The following is a summary of the carrying  amounts and estimated fair values of
the Corporation's  financial assets and liabilities to include off-balance sheet
financial instruments as December 31, 1995:

</TABLE>


At December 31, 1995, the Corporation had outstanding  standby letters of credit
and fixed and variable rate  commitments to extend credit.  For fair value,  the
fixed rate loan  commitments  were  considered  based on committed  rates versus
market rates for similar  transactions.  Due to market  constraints,  rates have
remained  relatively  unchanged on these  products,  therefore,  management  has
determined fair value to be the same as the committed value.  Standby letters of
credit and variable rate  commitments  are generally  exercisable  at the market
rate prevailing at the date the underlying  transaction  will be completed,  and
therefore, they were deemed to have no current fair market value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk:

The Bank is party to 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 and standby letters
of credit.  These instruments  involve,  to varying degrees,  elements of credit
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

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 amount of those instruments.
The Bank uses the same credit  policies in making  commitments  and  conditional
obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the Bank's
commitments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 is as follows:

                                                     1995            1994
                                             ---------------------------------

Commitments to extend credit                      $ 7,977,000     $ 4,969,000
Standby letters of credit                           1,474,000       1,422,000
                                             ---------------------------------
                                                  $ 9,451,000     $ 6,391,000
                                             =================================

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.  The Bank
evaluates each customer's  credit-worthiness 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 party. Collateral held
varies, but may include accounts receivable,  inventory, property and equipment,
residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby  letters of credit  are  conditional  commitments  issued by the Bank to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those  guarantees are
primarily  issued to support public and private  borrowing  arrangements.  Since
many of the  commitments  are expected to expire  without being drawn upon,  the
total commitment amounts do not necessarily  represent future cash requirements.
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as
that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  Collateral held varies
as specified above and is required in instances which the Bank deems necessary.

Concentrations of credit risk:

All of the Bank's loans,  commitments to extend credit,  and standby  letters of
credit have been granted to customers  within the state and, more  specifically,
its local geographic area of Virginia.  The  concentrations of credit by type of
loan are set forth in Note 4.

NOTE 16.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At December 31, 1995,  loans to officers and directors and corporations in which
officers and directors own a significant  interest totaled $1,672,048.  All such
loans were made in the  normal  course of  business  on  substantially  the same
terms,  including  interest and collateral,  as those prevailing at the time for
comparable transactions.

An analysis of these related party transactions is as follows:

NOTE 17.  CAPITAL STOCK AND COMMON STOCK SPLIT

On May 16, 1995, the Corporation  changed its authorized  capital from 1,000,000
shares of $3 par value common  stock to 4,000,000  shares of $3 par value common
stock. On July 18, 1995, the Corporation's Board of Directors declared a two for
one split of the common stock  effected in the form of a 100% stock  dividend on
the outstanding  stock to be distributed on August 31, 1995 to the  stockholders
of record on July 31,  1995.  The par value of the  additional  shares of common
stock was  credited to common  stock with  reductions  from surplus and retained
earnings.

All  references in the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements to the
number of common  shares and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the
stock split.

NOTE 18.  REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Banking  laws and  regulations  limit the amount of  dividends  that may be paid
without prior approval of the Bank's regulatory  agency.  Under that limitation,
the Bank could have declared additional dividends of approximately $3,567,000 to
the Corporation in 1995.

Banking  regulations  also require the Bank to maintain  certain minimum capital
levels in relation to its assets.  Capital is measured using a leverage ratio as
well as based on  risk-weighting  assets according to regulatory  guidelines.  A
comparison of the Bank's actual regulatory  capitals as of December 31, 1995 and
1994, with minimum requirements, as defined by regulation, is shown below:

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The  following   discussion   provides   information  about  the  major
components of the results of operations and financial  condition,  liquidity and
capital  resources of Community  Bankshares  Incorporated.  This  discussion and
analysis  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  Consolidated   Financial
Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

OVERVIEW.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 1995 of $1.623 million was
an increase of 23.7% over the year ended  December 31, 1994. The increase in net
income during 1995 reflects  primarily an increase in the lending  volume and an
improvement in the rates earned on interest-earning  assets.  Earnings per share
for the year ended  December 31, 1995 was $1.34 up from $1.10 for the year ended
December 31, 1994. CBI has shown an increase of 118% in net income over the five
years ended  December 31, 1995,  from $743,000 in 1991 to $1.623  million during
1995. The increase in income over the past five years is attributable to the 49%
growth in the loan portfolio.  As total assets grew from $60.252 million in 1991
to $88.137  million as of December 31, 1995, net loans grew from $43.667 million
to $65.256 million.

        Net Income         743      846    1,079    1,312    1,623
        Total Assets    60,252   68,686   76,921   77,363   88,137



         The Bank  increased net income 21.6% to $1.312 million during 1994 over
1993.  This increase was  attributable  to an increase in the net interest yield
and a decrease  in the  provision  for loan  losses.  Net income  during 1993 of
$1.079  million was a 27% increase over 1992.  On a per share basis,  net income
was $.95 in 1993.

         The Company's return on average equity and average assets has increased
over the past five years.  The return on average  equity was 17.77% for the year
ended  December  31,  1995.  The  return on  average  equity was 16.25% in 1994,
compared  to 15.49% for 1993.  The return on average  assets  amounted to 1.91%,
1.69% and 1.48% for the three years ended  December  31, 1995,  1994,  and 1993,
respectively.


NET INTEREST  INCOME.  Net interest  income  represents the principal  source of
earnings for The Community  Bank. Net interest income equals the amount by which
interest  income  exceeds  interest  expense.  Changes  in the volume and mix of
interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  liabilities,  as well as  their
respective  yields  and  rates,  have a  significant  impact on the level of net
interest income.

<PAGE>

         Net  interest  income  increased  18% to $4.472  million in 1995.  This
increase was  attributable to an 11% growth in average earning assets,  a larger
percentage  of total  average  assets  being  interest-earning  assets and a 10%
increase  in  rates  earned  on   interest-earning   assets.   The  increase  in
interest-earning  assets was due primarily to an increase in the lending volume.
During the three years ended  December 31,  1995,  the Bank has had a consistent
increase in loan  demand.  It is  management's  belief that the  increase in the
lending  volume  is a result  of  competitive  pricing  and,  most  importantly,
responsiveness to loan demands. The ability to make a timely loan decision is an
operating characteristic that often allows CBI the opportunity to meet the needs
of borrowers before their competitors. Rates earned on average assets were 9.28%
during 1995 as compared to 8.42% one year  earlier.  This return was a result of
increased  rates  earned  on  loans.  The Bank is  competitive  with  rates  and
origination  fees  charged  on  loans.  However,  since 75% of the  Bank's  loan
portfolio may be repriced in one year or less,  the Bank may respond  quickly to
market changes in rates.

          Interest  expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased 29.5%
to $2.890 million from $2.232 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. This
increase was due to an increase in rates on interest-bearing  liabilities and an
8.09% increase in  average  interest-bearing  liabilities  from $57.427  million
during  1994 to $62.074  million in 1995.  The  increase in rates was created by
national and regional economic factors.  In addition,  periodically  during 1995
management  decided to offer rates on large  certificates of deposit at 10 to 15
basis points higher than that of other financial institutions.

         Net interest  income was $3.784 million for the year ended December 31,
1994,  an  increase  of 18.7% over the $3.188  million  reported  in 1993.  This
increase was  partially  due to the 7.5%  increase in  interest-earning  assets.
Again,  the increase in the lending volume was the most  significant  portion of
the increase in average  interest-earning assets with a 10.89%  increase.  Also
contributing  to the rise in net interest  income was the 3.95%  increase in the
yield on  interest-earning  assets,  which increased from 8.10% to 8.42%. During
1994  interest  expense  increased  by  $33,000  to $2.232  million.  This small
increase was a result of a decline in rates, which offset the effect of a $3.835
million increase in average interest-bearing  liabilities. As the rates declined
during 1994,  many  depositors  elected not to invest in time deposits and opted
for short-term interest-bearing demand deposits which paid a lower rate. Average
certificate  of  deposits  decreased  3% or  $766,000  at the same  time  demand
interest-bearing  liabilities  increased 15.5% or $4.445 million. This change in
the mix of deposits enabled the Bank to reduce its cost of funds for 1994.

         Interest income increased .4% or $21,000 from $5.366 million in 1992 to
$5.387 million  during 1993.  This increase was very  insignificant  considering
average loans  increased by $6.669 million or 13.85% during 1993.  This increase
in volume took place at a time when average  rates earned on loans  decreased by
9.4%,  from 9.40% in 1992 to 8.51% in 1993.  Again,  the  decrease  in rates was
controlled  by national  and  regional  economic  factors.  The Bank was able to
maintain a relatively unchanged interest yield for 1993 by maintaining a deposit
mix at lower rates.  Interest expense  decreased  9.95%,  from $2.442 million in
1992 to $2.199 million in 1993. The net interest yield for 1993 was 4.84%,  down
slightly from 4.92% during 1992.

The following table sets forth CBI's average  interest-earning  assets (on a tax
equivalent basis) and average interest-bearing  liabilities,  the average yields
earned on such assets and rates paid on such  liabilities,  and the net interest
margin, for the periods indicated:

INTEREST SENSITIVITY.  An important element of both earnings performance and the
maintenance  of sufficient  liquidity is management of the interest  sensitivity
gap. The interest  sensitivity gap is the difference between  interest-sensitive
assets and  interest-sensitive  liabilities in a specific time interval. The gap
can be managed by  repricing  assets or  liabilities,  by  replacing an asset or
liability  at maturity or by adjusting  the interest  rate during the life of an
asset or liability.  Matching the amounts of assets and liabilities repricing in
the same  interval  helps to hedge  the risk  and  minimize  the  impact  on net
interest income in periods of rising or falling interest rates.

         The  objective  of  interest  sensitivity   management  is  to  provide
flexibility  in  controlling  the  response  of both  rate-sensitive  assets and
liabilities  to wide and  frequent  fluctuations  in market rates of interest so
that the effect of such swings on net  interest  income is  minimized.  The most
important  part of this  objective is to maximize  earnings  while keeping risks
within defined limits.  To reduce the impact of changing  interest rates as much
as  possible,  CBI  attempts to keep a large  portion of its  interest-sensitive
assets and  liabilities  in generally  shorter  maturities,  usually one year or
less.  This allows CBI the  opportunity  to adjust  interest  rates as needed to
react to the loan and deposit market conditions.

     Management  evaluates interest  sensitivity through the use of a static gap
model on a monthly  basis and then  formulates  strategies  regarding  asset
generation  and pricing,  funding  sources and pricing,  and  off-balance  sheet
commitments in order to decrease sensitivity risk. These strategies are based on
management's  outlook  regarding  interest  rate  movements,  the  state  of the
regional and national  economies and other  financial and business risk factors.
In  addition,  the Company  establishes  prices for  deposits and loans based on
local market  conditions and manages its securities  portfolio with policies set
by itself.

         The December 31, 1995 results of the rate sensitivity analysis show CBI
had $10.492 million more in liabilities  than assets subject to repricing within
three months or less and was, therefore, in a liability-sensitive  position. The
cumulative  gap at the end of one  year  was a  positive  $1.805  million,  and,
therefore in an  asset-sensitive  position.  The one year  positive gap position
reflects a loan portfolio that is weighted  predominantly in shorter maturities.
Approximately  $50.7  million,  or 75% of the total loan  portfolio,  matures or
reprices within one year or less. An asset-sensitive  institution's net interest
margin and net interest  income  generally will be impacted  favorably by rising
interest rates, while that of a  liability-sensitive  institution generally will
be impacted favorably by declining rates.

</TABLE>



NONINTEREST  INCOME.  For the year ended  December 31, 1995  noninterest  income
declined by 6.07% to $752,553.  This decline is partially  attributable to a 9%,
or $66,315 decrease in service charges. The Bank has marketed "Free Checking" in
order to increase deposits,  to increase name recognition in the community,  and
at the same time, reduce the cost of funds.

         Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $801,213, a
decrease of $57,562 or 6.7% from 1993.  The primary reason for this decrease was
the loss  recognized on the disposition of other real estate owned in the amount
of $33,980.  In addition,  service  charges,  commissions  and fees decreased by
$56,060. This reduction is due to an increase in free checking accounts marketed
by the Bank. Due to the offering of these  accounts,  service charges on deposit
accounts have decreased 5.3% or $36,000 during 1994.

         Noninterest  income  for 1993  increased  8.13% or  $64,598  from 1992.
Service  charges,  commissions  and fees, the largest single item of noninterest
income,  increased by $34,767 for 1993, up 4.6% from 1992. This increase was due
to service  charges on demand  deposit  accounts and fees charged for letters of
credit.

NONINTEREST  EXPENSE.  Noninterest  expense of $2.499 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 was a decrease of 1.9%.  Salaries and employee  benefits,  the
largest single component of noninterest  expense,  had a slight increase of 4.9%
for the year.  The Bank was able to maintain a small  increase in  salaries,  as
compared to previous years, due to the closing of its Washington  Street branch.
Management  has  shifted personnel  to other  locations  to reduce the need for
additional  staffing during peak periods of operations.  Due to regulatory rate
reductions, FDIC assessments declined by 54% or $81,000, from the previous year.
In addition, general insurance decreased by $50,000 due to a new carrier on the
general liability policy that offered more competitive  rates and an increase in
the cash surrender  value in excess of premiums paid on the lives of executives.
Professional  fees increased by $59,000 over the previous year. During 1995, the
Corporation has incurred  approximately  $45,000  additional  professional  fees
associated with the proposed Share Exchange Agreement that have been expensed as
current operating expenses.

         For 1994,  noninterest  expense  increased  by  $265,821 or 11.65% over
1993. Salaries and employee benefits increased 11% or $132,000 to $1.330 million
in 1994 from $1.198  million in 1993.  In addition  to  inflation  and merit pay
increases, the Board of Directors increased the contribution to the ESOP plan by
38% or $25,000 for the year.  Furniture and equipment  expense  increased 11.71%
from $185,400 to $207,114 for the year ended  December 31, 1994.  Almost 100% of
this increase was  attributable to increased  depreciation due to acquisition of
operations   equipment.   During  1994,  FDIC  assessments  continued  to  be  a
significant  portion of  noninterest  expenses  increasing by 10.16% to $150,693
from $136,789 during 1993.  Other taxes increased 56% or $36,000 due to a change
in regulatory guidance in the computation of state and local franchise tax.

         During the year ended December 1993,  noninterest expenses increased by
10.8% or $223,000 from $2.058 million during 1992 to $2.281 million in 1993. The
majority  of the  increase  was due to an  increase  in  salaries  and  employee
benefits of 15.07% or $156,940  from $1.041  million to $1.198  million.  During
1993, the Board of Directors adopted a Cash Incentive Plan for certain employees
of the Bank.  The Plan set forth  predetermined  award  pools for each  group of
participants.   Under  this  plan,   $74,256  was  awarded  during  1993.   Also
attributable  to the increase in other  expenses in 1993 was $31,000  awarded to
the directors under the Cash Incentive Plan.

INCOME TAXES.  The  provision  for income taxes for the year ended  December 31,
1995 was $856,092,  a 29.7% increase from the previous year. The increase in the
provision was due to the increase in taxable income.

         The  income tax  provision  for the year ended  December  31,  1994 was
$660,019, up from $566,553 for the year ended December 31, 1993.

LOAN  PORTFOLIO.  CBI's loan  portfolio is comprised of commercial  loans,  real
estate loans, home equity loans, consumer loans,  participation loans with other
financial  institutions,  and other  miscellaneous  types of credit. The primary
markets in which CBI makes loans are generally in areas contiguous to its branch
locations in the Cities of Petersburg  and Colonial  Heights,  and  Chesterfield
County.   The   philosophy   is   consistent   with  CBI's  focus  on  providing
community-based financial services.

         As of December 31, 1995, the loan portfolio was $66.018 million, net of
unearned income, an increase from the prior year of 6.1% or $3.805 million. Real
estate lending continues to be the growth of the portfolio with loans secured by
real estate comprising 84.12% of total loans.
<PAGE>

         Loans, net of unearned income, were $62.2 million at December 31, 1994,
up $4.5 million or 7.8% from $57.7  million at December 31, 1993.  The growth in
real estate loans, which increased $4.33 million or 9.03%,  accounted for 96% of
the growth.

         Loans secured by real estate comprise 82.32% of total loans at December
31, 1994 and 82.57% at December 31, 1993.

         The Bank's unfunded loan  commitments  amounted to $9.451 million as of
December 31, 1995,  up from $6.4 million at December 31, 1994.  This increase is
attributable  to customer loan demands at a specific  point in time.  Fixed rate
committments  were $4.438 million and $2.593 million as of December 31, 1995 and
1994,  respectively.  The average rates  charged on the fixed rate  committments
were 8.5%-10.5% for the years then ended.

ANALYSIS OF THE ALLOWANCE  FOR LOAN LOSSES.  The allowance for loan losses is an
estimate  of an amount  adequate  to provide  for  potential  losses in the loan
portfolio of the Bank. The level of loan losses is affected by general  economic
trends, as well as conditions affecting individual  borrowers.  The allowance is
also subject to regulatory examinations and determinations as to adequacy, which
may take into  account  such factors as the  methodology  used to calculate  the
allowance  and the  size  of the  allowance  in  comparison  to  peer  companies
identified by regulatory agencies.

         The provision for loan losses for the year ended  December 31, 1995 was
$247,000,  an increase of $181,000 over the previous  year.  Management  charged
income for the  provision  deemed  necessary  based on its  analysis of the loan
portfolio.  After reviewing the increase in nonperforming loans and specifically
nonaccrual  loans,  management  feels the current year  provision  increases the
allowance for loan losses to the desired level to cover  potential  losses.  The
Bank had charge-offs, net of recoveries, of $209,412 during 1995, an increase of
$260,253 over the previous year.

         The  provision  for loan  losses  totaled  $66,000  for the year  ended
December 31, 1994,  a decrease of $54,000 from the previous  year.  The improved
economy  along with more  effective  collection  efforts  permitted  the Bank to
reduce  its  provision.  This  decision  was  made as a result  of  management's
analysis of the  nonperforming  loans of  $564,000 at December  31, 1994 and the
fact that the Bank had net  recoveries  for the year ended  December 31, 1994 of
$50,841  as  compared  to  net  charge-offs   during  1993  of  $80,799.   After
consideration  of these  factors and the local  economy,  management  recorded a
provision for loan loss that would provide coverage for potential losses.

         The provision in 1993  decreased to $120,000 as compared to $371,800 in
1992.  The reduction in the 1993 provision was a result of  management's  belief
that the quality of the loan portfolio had improved. This improvement was due to
the large  charge-offs of the previous year that no longer needed to be reserved
for and the relatively low level of nonperforming loans.

         As of December 31, 1995,  the allowance for loan losses was $762,479 up
from $724,891 at December 31, 1994. The allowance as of December 31, 1994 was up
$116,841 over the $608,050 at December 31, 1993.  The ratio of the allowance for
loan loss to total  loans,  net of  unearned  income,  has  remained  relatively
constant  over the last  three  years;  1.15% at  December  31,  1995,  1.17% at
December 31, 1994,  and 1.05% at December 31, 1993. It is  management's  opinion
that the  allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb any future losses that
may occur.

         The multiple of the allowance for loan losses to  nonperforming  assets
was .48x at December 31, 1995,  1.28x at December 31, 1994 and 2.08x at December
31, 1993. Management continually evaluates nonperforming loans relative to their
collateral value and makes appropriate reductions in the carrying value of those
loans based on that review.

         Effective   January  1,  1995,  CBI  adopted   Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan (as amended by SFAS No. 118,  Accounting by
<PAGE>

Creditors  for  Impairment of a Loan - Income  Recognition  and  Disclosure).
The effect of  adopting  this new accounting  standard was immaterial to the
operating results of CBI for the year ended December 31, 1995.  Prior  financial
statements have not been restated to apply the provision of the new standard.

         Under the new accounting  standard, a loan is considered to be impaired
when it is  probable  that CBI will be  unable  to  collect  all  principal  and
interest  amounts  according to the contractual  terms of the loan agreement.  A
loan is not  considered  impaired if (a) there is an  insignificant  delay in or
shortfall in amounts of payments, or (b) CBI expects to collect all amounts due,
including  interest  accrued at the contractual  interest rate for the period of
delay. CBI does not aggregate loans for risk classification.

         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  effective  interest
rate.  As of December 31, 1995,  CBI had eleven loans with a carrying  amount of
$427,000 that were considered to be impaired.  The amount of impairment based on
present  value of future cash flows or collateral  values,  if  applicable,  was
approximately $174,000. The amount provided in the allowance for loan losses for
these impaired loans was $174,000. The following table summarizes changes in the
allowance for loan losses:

         A  breakdown  of the  allowance  for loan  losses  is  provided  in the
following table;  however, such a breakdown has not historically been maintained
by the Bank and management does not believe that the allowance can be fragmented
by category  with any precision  that would be useful to  investors.  The entire
amount of the allowance is available to absorb losses occurring in any category.
The  allowance  is  allocated  below based on the  relative  percentage  in each
category to total loans.

         Management  has allocated the allowance  according to the amount deemed
to be  reasonably  necessary  to provide  for the  possibility  of losses  being
incurred. The allocation of the allowance as shown in the table above should not
be interpreted  as an indication  that loan losses in future years will occur in
the same  proportions or that the allocation  indicates future loan loss trends.
Furthermore, the portion allocated to each loan category is not the total amount
available  for future losses that might occur within such  categories  since the
total allowance is a general allowance applicable to the entire portfolio.

NONPERFORMING  ASSETS.  Total nonperforming  assets, which consist of nonaccrual
loans, restructured loans, loans 90 days or more past due, and other real estate
owned were $1.570  million at December 31, 1995 an increase of $731,000 from one
year earlier.  Total nonperforming assets were $839,000 at December 31, 1994, an
increase of $104,000  over  December 31,  1993.  Nonperforming  loans  increased
$204,000 during 1993 over 1992.

         Loans,  including  impaired loans,  are generally  placed in nonaccrual
status when loans are delinquent in principal and interest payments greater than
90 days and the loan is not well secured and in process of collection.  Accruals
of interest are  discontinued  until it becomes  certain that both principal and
interest can be repaid.  As shown in the above  table,  the Bank does have loans
that are contractually  past due greater than 90 days that are not in nonaccrual
status,  however,  those loans are still accruing  because they are well secured
and in the process of collection.  A loan is well secured if  collateralized  by
liens on real or personal property, including securities, that have a realizable
value  sufficient  to  discharge  the  debt  in full  or by the  guarantee  of a
financially   responsible   party.   Approximately   70%  of  these   loans  are
collateralized by residential real estate.

         As of December 31, 1995,  nonaccrual loans and loans contractually past
due greater than 90 days have increased  $216,000 and $322,000 over the December
31, 1994 levels, respectively. While the increase is significant, there are only
eight loans in nonaccrual status.  The largest two loans,  $105,000 and $51,000,
are mortgage real estate loans secured by residential  real estate.  In the case
of the  $105,000  loan,
<PAGE>

the  borrower  has entered  into a contract to sell the collateral and
curtailment for this loan should be forthcoming.

         If foreclosure of property is required,  the property is generally sold
at a public auction in which CBI may participate as a bidder. If the Bank is the
successful  bidder,  the acquired  real estate  property is then included in the
Bank's real estate owned account until it is sold.

INVESTMENT  SECURITIES.  The securities portfolio is maintained to manage excess
funds in order to provide  diversification  and  liquidity in the overall  asset
management policy.  The maturity of securities  purchased are based on the needs
of the Bank and current yields and other market conditions.

         Effective  January 1, 1994,  the Bank  adopted  Statement  of Financial
Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity  Securities.  This  Statement  establishes  accounting  and reporting
standards  for  investments  in debt and  equity  securities  that have  readily
determinable fair values. SFAS No. 115 requires that securities be classified as
either Trading,  Available-for-Sale or Held-to-Maturity at the time of purchase.
The Bank does not buy with the  intent of  trading  and,  accordingly,  does not
maintain  a Trading  Account.  Gains and  losses on the sale of  securities  are
determined by the specific identification method.

         Securities are classified as  held-to-maturity  when management has the
positive  intent and the Bank has the  ability at the time of  purchase  to hold
them until  maturity.  These  securities  are  carried  at  cost,  adjusted  for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount.

         Securities to be held for  indefinite  periods of time and not intended

CAPITAL RESOURCES.  The adequacy of the Bank's capital is reviewed by management
on an ongoing basis with reference to the size,  composition  and quality of the
Bank's asset and liability levels and consistency  with regulatory  requirements
and industry  standards.  Management seeks to maintain a capital  structure that
will assure an adequate level of capital to support anticipated asset growth and
absorb potential losses.

         The FDIC has adopted  capital  guidelines  to  supplement  the existing
definitions of capital for regulatory  purposes and to establish minimum capital
standards.  Specifically, the guidelines categorize assets and off-balance sheet
items into four risk-weighted categories.  The minimum ratio of qualifying total
capital  to  risk-weighted  assets is 8.0% of which at least 4.0% must be Tier 1
capital,  composed of common equity,  retained  earnings and a limited amount of
perpetual  preferred stock, less certain goodwill items. The Bank had a ratio of
risk-weighted assets to total capital of 16.10% at December 31, 1995 and a ratio
of  risk-weighted  assets to Tier 1 capital of 14.94%.  Both of these exceed the
capital requirements adopted by the federal regulatory agencies.

LIQUIDITY. Liquidity  represents an  institution's  ability to meet present and
future  financial  obligations  through  either the sale or maturity of existing
assets or the  acquisition  of additional  funds through  liability  management.
Liquid assets include cash,  interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds
sold, investment in Treasury securities,  and loans maturing within one year. As
a result of the Bank's  management  of liquid assets and the ability to generate
liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Bank maintains
overall  liquidity  sufficient to satisfy its depositors'  requirements and meet
its customers' credit needs.

         For the  year  ended  December 31,  1995  the Bank  provided  cash or
liquidity  from  operations  in the amount of $1.884  million. This increase in
funds in addition to a $9.132  million  increase in deposits  has given the Bank
approximately  $10.878 million in funds available for investment during 1995. In
determining  investment  strategies  management  considers  objectives  for  the
composition  of the  loan  and  investment  portfolio,  such as  type,  maturity
distribution,  and fixed or variable interest rate characteristics of investment
opportunities.  Management's  use of funds has  included the funding of a $4.196
million  increase  in loan  demands  and  the  purchase  of  $7.918  million  of
securities.  With 75% of the loan  portfolio  repricing  or maturing in the next
twelve months the Bank has enough asset  liquidity to meet the needs of maturing
deposits.

and related data  presented  have been  prepared in  accordance  with  generally
accepted accounting  principles,  which require the measurement of the financial
position and operating  results of CBI in terms of historical  dollars,  without
considering  changes in the relative  purchasing power of money over time due to
inflation.

         Virtually all of the assets of CBI are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest  rates  have a more  significant  impact on a  financial  institution's
performance  than the effects of general levels of inflation.  Interest rates do
not necessarily  move in the same direction or with the same magnitude as prices
of goods and services.
