On February 14, 1997, the Company sold, through an underwritten public offering,
1,465,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $11.00 per
share. On March 18, 1997, an additional 200,000 common shares were sold, also at
a public offering price of $11.00 per share, pursuant to an underwriters
over-allotment provision. Of the $16,948,000 net proceeds from the offering, the
Company used $7,200,000 to acquire all of the common stock of The Bank of
Barnwell County, $3,500,000 to acquire all of the common stock of The Bank of
Belton, and $3,300,000 to acquire all of the common stock of The Bank of
Newberry County (See Note 5).

On May 19, 1997, the Company granted 74,250 options pursuant to the terms of the
Company's Nonstatutory and Incentive Stock Option Plan. The options are
exercisable one year from the date of grant at a price of $12.50 per share and
expire May 19, 2002.

NOTE 5 - ACQUISITIONS OF NEW BANKS

On February 28, 1997, the Company used $7,200,000 of the proceeds from the stock
offering to acquire and capitalize The Bank of Barnwell County. On March 30,
1997, the Company used an additional $3,500,000 of the proceeds to acquire and
capitalize The Bank of Belton. On July 10, 1997, the Company used $3,300,000 of
the proceeds to acquire and capitalize The Bank of Newberry County. These
transactions were recorded using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly,
the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the operations and
the assets and liabilities of the acquired banks since the dates of the
acquisitions.

During the organizational stages, The Bank of Barnwell County, The Bank of
Belton and The Bank of Newberry County opened lines of credit with the Company's
banking subsidiaries which were guaranteed by the organizers of each organizing
bank. Upon the banks being approved for opening by the regulatory agencies and
upon the opening of the banks, the Company, per agreements with the organizers,
agreed to pay off the lines of credit.

The principle assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the purchase are
summarized below:

                                           Barnwell   Belton          Newberry

Organizational notes                         (468)       (695)          (519)  


The value of the intangible assets represents the organizational costs incurred
by the newly-acquired banks and the excess of the purchase price over the net
assets received. These costs are being amortized over five years using the
straight-line method.

1997. The transaction was recorded using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their fair market values at the date of acquisition. In recording the
loans and deposits, Carolina First Bank's book values were considered reasonable
estimates of fair value.

The principal assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the purchase are
summarized as follows:

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

The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition as of
September 30, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996, and the results of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996. These comments should be read in
conjunction with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and
accompanying footnotes appearing in this report.

On February 14, 1997, the Company sold, through an underwritten public stock
offering, 1,465,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of
$11.00 per share. On March 18, 1997, an additional 200,000 common shares were
sold, also at a public offering price of $11.00 per share, pursuant to an
underwriters over-allotment provision. Of the approximately $17,000,000 net
proceeds from the offering, the Company used $7,200,000 to acquire all of the
common stock of The Bank of Barnwell County (the "Barnwell Bank"), $3,500,000 to
acquire all of the common stock of The Bank of Belton (the "Belton Bank"), and
$3,300,000 to acquire all of the common stock of The Bank of Newberry County
(the "Newberry Bank"), all of which were formerly in organization. Effective
April 7, 1997, the Barnwell Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of five branch offices of Carolina First Bank pursuant to the terms
of a Purchase and Assumption Agreement dated January 21, 1997 (the "Purchase of
the Branches").

The following comments include the results of the stock offering, the
acquisitions of the Barnwell Bank, the Belton Bank and the Newberry Bank, and
the Purchase of the Branches.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------

NET INTEREST INCOME
- --------------------
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, net interest income, the major
component of the Company's net income, was $5,045,000 compared to $3,021,000 for
the same period of 1996, an increase of $2,024,000. For the quarter ended
September 30, 1997, net interest income was $1,972,000 compared to $1,063,000
recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The improvement was
attributable to an increase in the volume of average earning assets during both
the three and nine-month periods, particularly loans and investment activities,
due to the approximately $17,000,000 net proceeds from the stock offering and
the Purchase of the Branches which added approximately $15,000,000 in loans and
investable proceeds of $35,761,000. Net interest income has also benefitted from
the continued strong loan demand in the Greenwood market and loan growth at the
Barnwell Bank and the Belton Bank. The Company has also used its network of
subsidiary banks and improved liquidity from the Purchase of the Branches to
lower its costs of funds. The average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities
decreased to 4.83% from 4.89% for the nine-month periods ended September 30,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

The net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.52% and 4.28%,
respectively, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, compared to
3.53% and 4.30% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996. The net
interest spread and net interest margin were 3.37% and 4.12%, respectively, for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997, compared to 3.53% and 4.30% for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996. The growth in the volume of average investment
securities, traditionally lower yielding assets than loans, as a percentage of
earning assets due to the investable proceeds from the stock offering and the
net cash received upon the Purchase of the Branches have negatively impacted the
net interest spread and net interest margin.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
- ---------------------------------------
The provision for loan losses is the charge to operating earnings that
management feels is necessary to maintain the allowance for possible loan losses
at an adequate level. For the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1997,
the provision was $332,000 and $108,000, respectively, as compared to $123,000
and $18,000 for the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1996. The
increase does not reflect a negative trend in nonperforming or classified assets
but is indicative of management's decision to maintain the target ratio of the
allowance for loan losses to total loans. Upon the Purchase of the Branches, the
Company increased the allowance for loan losses by $255,000 for possible losses
in the loans acquired. Based on present information, management believes the
allowance for loan losses is adequate at September 30, 1997 to meet presently
known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.

NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------
Total noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$1,183,000, an increase of $220,000, or 22.8% from the comparable period in
1996. Total noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was
$445,000, or $135,000 higher than the third quarter in 1996.

The increases are primarily due to an increase in service charges due to the
increase in the number of deposit accounts. Service charge income was $226,000
and $601,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997
compared to $131,000 and $382,000 for the comparable periods of 1996.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
- -------------------
Total noninterest expense for the first nine months of 1997 was $5,064,000, an
increase of $2,105,000, or 71.1%, when compared to the first nine months of
1996. For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, noninterest expense was
$2,093,000, an increase of $1,034,000 over the comparable period in 1996.

The primary component of noninterest expense is salaries and benefits which was
$2,376,000 and $1,443,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The $933,000 increase is primarily a result of the acquisition and
opening of the Barnwell Bank, the Belton Bank and the Newberry Bank, and the
hiring of new employees to meet the data processing and other needs of the
Company's network of banks. Furniture and equipment expense increased to
$484,000 from $242,000 largely due to an increase in depreciation charges on
technological upgrades during 1996 and the first quarter of 1997, and the new
furniture and equipment for the new banks. Other operating expenses also
increased due to the growth of the Company and the Purchase of the Branches and
the opening of the new banks.

INCOME TAXES
- -------------
For the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the effective income tax
rate was 24.5% and 35.5%, respectively, and the income tax provision was
$204,000 and $321,000, respectively. For the quarter ended September 30, 1997,
the effective tax rate was 9.5% compared to 34.9% for the third quarter of 1996.
The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to an increase in tax-exempt
income and a change in the estimate of the annualized taxable income.

                          COMMUNITY CAPITAL CORPORATION


NET INCOME
- -----------
The combination of the above factors resulted in net income of $628,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $582,000 for the comparable
period in 1996. For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, net income was
$200,000, an increase of $8,000 when compared to the third quarter of 1996.

The development and organization of the Barnwell Bank, the Belton Bank and the
Newberry Bank, including initial operating expenditures, negatively impacted
earnings for the first three quarters of 1997. However, continued profitability
at Greenwood Bank & Trust and Clemson Bank & Trust was more than enough to
offset negative earnings at the new banks.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
- ---------------------
During the first nine months of 1997, total assets grew $112,082,000 or 96.7%
when compared to December 31, 1996. Much of the growth was attributable to the
stock offering which resulted in net proceeds of approximately $17,000,000 and
the Purchase of the Branches by the Barnwell Bank. The principal assets acquired
and liabilities assumed in the purchase are summarized as follows:



     (Dollars in thousands)

     Cash received for net liabilities assumed   $    (35,761)       
                                                   ===========       


The excess proceeds from the stock offering and cash received for net
liabilities assumed from the Purchase of the Branches were mainly used to
acquire investment securities.

The demand for quality loans in the Greenwood market remained strong and also
contributed to the growth of the asset base.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
- ---------------------
Investment securities increased $45,437,000 during the nine-month period. The
increase is due to the investment of proceeds from the stock offering and cash
received for the net liabilities assumed upon the Purchase of the Branches in
U.S. Treasury, U.S. government agency securities and municipal securities.

LOANS
- -----
Loans receivable increased $51,290,000 or 63.7% since December 31, 1996. This
increase was primarily due to the acquisition of $14,939,000 of loans from the
Purchase of the Branches and to the continued strong loan demand in the
Greenwood market and growth at the new banks. Balances within the major loan
receivable categories as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 are as

CAPITAL

Quantitative measures established by the federal banking agencies to ensure
capital adequacy require the Company and its banking subsidiaries to maintain
minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital as a percentage of assets and
off-balance-sheet exposures, adjusted for risk weights ranging from 0% to 100%.
Tier 1 capital consists of common shareholders' equity, excluding the unrealized
gain or loss on securities available for sale, minus certain intangible assets.
Tier 2 capital consists of the allowance for loan losses subject to certain
limitations. Total capital for purposes of computing the capital ratios consists
of the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. The regulatory minimum requirements are
4% for Tier 1 and 8% for total risk-based capital.

The Company and its banking subsidiaries are also required to maintain capital
at a minimum level based on total average assets, which is known as the leverage
ratio. Only the strongest banks are allowed to maintain capital at the minimum
requirement of 3%. All others are subject to maintaining ratios 1% to 2% above
the minimum.

The following table summarizes the capital ratios of the Company and its banking
subsidiaries and the regulatory minimum requirements at September 30, 1997

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- --------------------------------
Shareholders' equity was increased by the $17,000,000 net proceeds from the
offering, the $48,000 proceeds from the exercise of stock options, the $124,000
proceeds from sales of stock to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and net
income of $628,000. Due to changes in the market rates of interest, the fair
value of the Company's securities available for sale increased which had the
effect of increasing shareholders' equity by $225,000 net of the deferred tax
effects.

The Company used approximately $7,200,000 of the net proceeds from the stock
offering to purchase and capitalize the Barnwell Bank, used approximately
$3,500,000 to purchase and capitalize Belton Bank and used approximately
$3,300,000 to purchase and capitalize the Newberry Bank.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - Continued

The Company's liquidity was improved by the stock offering and the Purchase of
the Branches, resulting in a decrease in the loans-to-deposits ratio to 76.0% as
of September 30, 1997 from 89.6% as of December 31, 1996. A significant portion
of the cash received was invested in securities of the U.S. Treasury, U.S.
government agencies and municipalities. For the near term, maturities and sales
of securities available for sale are expected to be a primary source of
liquidity as the Company and its subsidiary banks deploy these funds into loans
to achieve the desired mix of assets and liabilities. The Company also expects
to build its deposit base in its new markets. Short-term borrowings are not
expected to be a primary source of liquidity for the near term: however, the
Company has approximately $18,230,000 of unused lines of credit to purchase
federal funds.

REGULATORY MATTERS

The management of the Company is not aware of any current recommendations by
regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have a
material effect on liquidity, capital resources, or operations.

ACCOUNTING RULE CHANGES

During the first quarter of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which addresses the computation,
presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per share by entities
with publicly held common stock. Statement No. 128 is effective for both interim
and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not
permitted.
