MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Community Bankshares Incorporated (the "Company") is a multi-bank holding
company organized under Virginia law which provides financial services through
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Community Bank and Commerce Bank of Virginia,
and County Bank of Chesterfield. All subsidiary banks are full service retail
commercial banks offering a wide range of banking services, including demand and
time deposits, as well as commercial, industrial, residential construction,
residential mortgage and consumer loans. The Company's primary trade areas are
the Petersburg, Virginia area and the Richmond, Virginia area. The Company
operates thirteen branch locations in these trade areas.
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.
Overview. Net income for the first three months of 1999 of $1.144 million was an
increase of 0.26% over the first three months of 1998. Earnings per share (on a
fully diluted basis) for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $0.41
compared to $0.41 for the same period last year.
The Company's return on average equity decreased for the first three months
of 1999 over 1998. The return on average equity was 13.88% for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, compared to 15.56% in 1998. The return on average assets
amounted to 1.48% and 1.68% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income represents the principal source of
earnings for the Company. 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.
Net interest income increased 10.25% to $3.647 million for the first three
months of 1999. This increase was attributable to the growth in the Company's
loan portfolio. Total loans outstanding increased 9.55%, or $19.404 million for
the first three months of 1999. The Company 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, responsiveness to loan demands. The
ability to make timely loan
- 6 -
<PAGE>
decisions is an operating characteristic that often allows the Company the
opportunity to meet the needs of borrowers before their competitors. The Company
is competitive with rates and origination fees charged on loans. However, since
69.33% of the entire loan portfolio may be repriced in one year or less, the
Company has the ability to respond quickly to market changes in rate structures.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1999, increased
13.05% to $2.564 million as compared to $2.268 million for the same period one
year earlier. This increase was due to an increase in the volume of
interest-bearing liabilities.
Provision for Possible Loan Losses. The provision for possible loan losses was
increased, $80,000 for the first three months of 1999. This provision is an
estimate of an amount deemed adequate to provide for potential losses in the
portfolio. The level of losses is affected by general economic trends as well as
conditions affecting individual borrowers. The allowance is also subject to
regulatory examinations and determination as to adequacy, which may take into
account such factors as the methodology used to calculate the allowance and
comparison to peer groups.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $2.423 million at March 31, 1999 or
1.09% of total loans, as compared to $2.345 or 1.15% at December 31, 1998.
Non-performing assets totaled $3.483 million at March 31, 1999 compared to
$3.392 million at December 31, 1998. The multiple of the allowance for loan
losses to non-performing assets was 0.70x at March 31, 1999 and 0.69x at
December 31, 1998. Management constantly evaluates non-performing loans relative
to their collateral value and makes appropriate reductions in the carrying value
of those loans based on that review.
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 for
the future cash flows on the loan discounted at the loan's effective interest
rate.
Loans, including impaired loans, are generally placed in non-accrual status
when they 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
- 7 -
<PAGE>
interest can be repaid. The Company does have loans that are contractually past
due greater than 90 days that are not in non-accrual 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.
If foreclosure of property is required, the property is generally sold at a
public auction in which the Company may participate as a bidder. If the Company
is the successful bidder, the acquired real estate property is then included in
the Company's real estate owned account until it is sold.
Non-Interest Income. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, non-interest
income increased $2,000 or 0.39% to $0.517 million as compared to $0.515 million
one year earlier. The amount of fee income collected actually increased by
$107,000, however this was largely offset by a $100,000 decrease in security
gains.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense of $2.413 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999, was an increase of $294,000 or 13.87% over the
$2.119 million for the same period last year. Salaries and employee benefits,
the largest component on non-interest expense increased 15.20% to $1.45 million
for the first three months of 1998, this was partially due to a new branch
opening.
Financial Condition
Total assets as of March 31, 1999 were $331.590 million, an increase of
0.44% from $330.145 million at December 31, 1998. Net loans outstanding for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 stood at $220.212 million, a net increase of
$19.325 million or 9.62% over the $200.887 million recorded at December 31,
1998.
Deposits for the three months ended March 31, 1999 stood at $293.356
million an increase of $1.278 million or 0.44% over the $292.078 at December 31,
1998.
Total securities for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were $73.183
million an increase of $1.373 million or 1.91% from the $71.810 million at
December 31, 1998. 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 Company and current yields and other market conditions. Securities are
- 8 -
<PAGE>
classified as held-to-maturity when management has the positive intent and the
Company 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 to be held-to-maturity or on a long-term basis are classified as
available-for-sale and accounted for at fair market value on an aggregate basis.
Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in
stockholder's equity, net of the related tax effect.
Capital Resources
Capital resources represent funds, earned or obtained, over which financial
institutions can exercise greater or longer control in comparison with deposits
or borrowed funds. The adequacy of the Company's capital is reviewed by
management on an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition, and
quality of the Company's resources 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 Federal Reserve, along with the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 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-assets is 8.0% of which 4.0%
must be Tier 1 capital, consisting of common equity, retained earnings and a
limited amount of perpetual preferred stock, less certain goodwill items.
At March 31, 1999, the Company's ratio of total capital to risk-weighted
assets was 15.54% and its ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was
14.52%. Both ratios exceeded the fully phased-in capital requirements. The
following summarizes the Company's regulatory capital and related ratios at
March 31, 1999 (dollars in thousands):
Tier 1 Capital $ 34,465
Tier 2 Capital $ 2,423
Total risk-based capital $ 36,888
Total risk-weighted assets $237,435
- 9 -
<PAGE>
Capital Ratios:
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio 15.54%
Total risk-based capital ratio 14.51%
Tier 1 Capital to average total assets 11.38%
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,
investments and loans maturing within one year. As a result of the Company's
management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through
liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall
liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors' requirements and to meet its
customer's credit needs.
For the three months ended March 31, 1999 the Company provided cash or
liquidity from operations in the amount of $1.001 million. The Company's net
investing activities used $21.294 million in the same period. Financing
activities provided an additional $0.529 million, consisting mainly of an
increase in deposits of $1.278. For the first three months of 1998 this produced
a net decrease in liquidity of approximately $19.764 million. Cash and cash
equivalents on hand at March 31, 1999 totaled $27.671 million. Management
believes that the Company has enough asset liquidity to meet the needs of
maturing deposits.
Year 2000 Issues. The Year 2000 Issue (commonly referred to as "Y2K") is the
result of computer programs being written using two digits, rather than four
digits, to define the applicable year. The Y2K issue, which is common to most
corporations, including banks, concerns the inability of information systems,
primarily (but not exclusively) computer software programs, to properly
recognize and process date-sensitive information as the Year 2000 approaches and
beyond. The following constitutes the Company's Y2K readiness disclosure under
the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.
Since the Company's subsidiary bank's information systems functions are either
outsourced to service providers or processed on in-house computer systems using
programs developed by third-party vendors, the direct effort to correct Y2K
- 10 -
<PAGE>
issues will be undertaken largely by third parties and will therefore not be
totally within the Company's direct control. The Company expects to bring all of
its mission critical operating systems into compliance with Y2K requirements
through the installation of updated or replacement programs developed by third
parties.
The Company began addressing the Y2K issue in the fall of 1997 when its
subsidiary banks formed Y2K project teams comprised of financial, operations,
data processing and loan servicing personnel. A Y2K Plan of Action was developed
by each bank and approved by the respective Boards of Directors and by the Board
of Directors of the company in 1997. The Board of Directors receive quarterly
Year 2000 status reports on all mission critical systems and their related
testing details.
The Y2K Project Teams have completed an assessment, identified all mission
critical systems and created a tracking system which identifies all third party
vendors and their Y2K compliance status and their Y2K compliant version of all
bank installed systems. Mission critical systems include hardware, software
programs, program interfaces, operating systems along with other mechanical or
computer-generated requirements that are beyond the Company's main central
processing systems. Based on the results of the assessments, the Company's
subsidiary banks have established internal time frames to upgrade or replace its
existing hardware and software systems. The subsidiary banks will utilize
internal and external resources to test the software and systems for Year 2000
modifications and compliance. The Company has completed approximately 100% of
the planned upgrades as of March 31, 1999. All of the Company's subsidiary banks
expect to be fully Y2K compliant before September 30, 1999.
The Company's plan to resolve the Y2K issue was developed along the five phase
project management process outlined in the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council (FFIEC) Year 2000 statement dated May 5, 1997 which
consisted of:
1. Awareness. This phase defined the Y2K issue for all the Company Directors,
Officers and employees and made them aware of the potential challenges
associated with the century date change. This phase has been completed.
2. Assessment. This phase consisted of an extensive evaluation of the size and
complexity of the Y2K issue and an identification of all systems software
and hardware that had Y2K implications on continuing operations. During
this phase all mission critical vendors were identified and an ongoing
monitoring process was initiated. This phase has been completed and the
vendor monitoring process is ongoing.
- 11 -
<PAGE>
3. Renovation. This phase consisted of upgrading, repairing or replacing all
mission critical systems and hardware, along with the installation of
upgraded and enhanced computer software provided by third party vendors.
All mission critical third party systems have either been replaced or
upgraded with a Y2K compliant product as of March 31, 1999. All non
critical software applications that are effected by the Y2K problem have
been identified and will be upgraded to compliant systems by June 30, 1999.
4. Validation. This is the testing phase of the Y2K project. The Y2K Project
Teams have developed and implemented test plans for all mission critical
systems and will document the test results for review and certification
before any new or upgraded system will be released into daily operations.
This phase of the plan will be completed by June 30, 1999.
5. Implementation. This is the phase that involves incorporating all Y2K
compliant systems into the daily operating environment.
The Company's subsidiary banks have also developed contingency plans that
outline emergency response procedures that meet federal guidelines and protect
the company's ability to continue to operate. Existing contingency procedures
attempt to cover every aspect of the date change transition. The goal of
contingency planning is to facilitate the resumption of business in the event
there is a disruption of critical systems necessary for regular operations.
Although the Company's Project Teams are monitoring the progress of the Y2K
Plan, outside regulators and auditors continue to examine our Year 2000
readiness programs.
The chief components of the Company's expense related to the Y2K issue are
currently believed to be the replacement of personal computer equipment and the
purchase or upgrade of third party software. External maintenance and internal
modification costs will be expensed as incurred. Costs of new hardware and
software will be capitalized and depreciated in accordance with existing
policies. Management expects to incur costs in the range of $100,000 to $200,000
on its Y2K readiness effort. Through March 31, 1999, the Company has expended
approximately $123,000. Costs of the Y2K project are based on current estimates
and actual results could vary significantly once detailed testing is completed.
If the Y2k Plan is unsuccessful, it may have a material, adverse effect on the
Company's future operating results and financial condition.
Recognizing the importance of customer awareness, the Company's subsidiary banks
have undertaken communications projects with all of its deposit and loan
- 12 -
<PAGE>
customers by including information about the Year 2000 issues in regular
statement mailings. Also, letters have been sent to major commercial loan
customers informing them of the Year 2000 issue and how it can impact
businesses. An overall assessment of Y2K readiness of The Company's commercial
loan customers has been completed, with an overall assessment of low risk. The
Company will continue to monitor its large commercial loan relationships through
assigned account officers. Also, new and renewed commercial credits greater than
$100,000 include a Y2K analysis as part of the normal underwriting decision
process.
To date, the Company has not identified any system which presents a material
risk of not being Year 2000 ready in a timely fashion or for which a suitable
alternative cannot be implemented. However, as the company progresses with its
Y2K Plan, it may identify systems which do present a material risk of Year 2000
disruption. Such disruption could include, among other things, the inability to
process and underwrite loan applications, to credit deposits and withdrawals
from customer accounts, to credit loan payments or track delinquencies, to
properly reconcile and record daily activity or to engage in normal banking
activities. Additionally, if the Company's commercial customers are not Year
2000 compliant and suffer adverse effects on their operations, their ability to
meet their obligations to the Company could be adversely affected. The failure
of the Company to identify systems which require Year 2000 hardware or software
upgrades that are critical to ongoing operations or the failure of the Company
or others with which the Company does business to become Year 2000 ready in a
timely manner could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations. In addition, to the extent that the risks
poised by the Year 2000 problem are pervasive in data processing and
transmission and communications services worldwide, the Company cannot predict
with any certainty that its operations will remain materially unaffected after
January 1, 2000.

1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, which represents The Company's expectations and beliefs concerning
future events including, without limitation, the following: the Company's
efforts in retaining and expanding its customer base and differentiating it from
its competition; the FDIC insurance premium assessments for 1999; the impact
from liabilities arising from legal proceedings on its financial condition; the
impact of certain securities sales, and interest rates in general, on the
volatility of its net interest income; the impact of policy guidelines and
strategies on net interest income based on future interest rate projections; the

ability to provide funding sources for both the Bank and the Parent Company; the
benefits of 1998 merger activity on future years' overhead expense; the impact
of portfolio diversification and the outplacement of high risk loans on future
levels on loan losses; the reversal in the trend of competition for real
estate-commercial loans and the effect of loan growth generally on the
improvement in net interest income; the assessment of its provision and reserve
for loan loss levels based upon future changes in the composition of its loan
portfolio, loan losses, collateral value and economic conditions; and
Management's assessment of the impact of the Year 2000 on the financial
condition, results of operations and liquidity of the Company.
The Company cautions that these statements are further qualified by important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set
forth in the forward looking statements due to market, economic and other
business-related risks and uncertainties affecting the realization of such
statements. Certain of these risks and uncertainties included in such forward
looking statements include, without limitations, the following: dynamics of the
markets served in terms of competition from traditional and nontraditional
financial service providers can affect both the funding capabilities of the
Company in terms of deposit garnering as well as the ability to compete for
loans and generate the higher yielding assets necessary to improve net interest
income; future legislation and actions by the Federal Reserve Board may result
in the imposition of costs and constraints on the Company through higher FDIC
insurance premiums, significant fluctuations in market interest rates and
operational limitations; significant fluctuations in market interest rates may
affect the ability to reinvest proceeds from the maturities and prepayments on
certain categories of securities and affect the overall yield of the portfolio;
business expansion activities and other efforts to retain customers may increase
the need for staffing and the resulting personnel expense in future periods;
deviations from the assumptions used to evaluate the appropriate level of the
reserve for loan losses as well as future purchases and sales of loans may
affect the appropriate level of the reserve for loan losses and thereby affect
the future levels of provisioning; the steps necessary to address the Year 2000
Issue include ensuring that not only the Company's automated systems, but also
those of vendors and customers, can become Year 2000 compliant.
Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected
results in these statements. The Company does not undertake, and specifically
disclaims, any obligation to update any forward looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
