NOTE 4 - LONG-TERM DEBT

During 1998, the Company borrowed funds from an unrelated financial institution
to use for capital infusions into TheBank in order to maintain minimum capital
requirements due to an increase in the asset base resulting from the purchase of
two branch offices of Carolina First Bank. The Company can borrow up to
$5,000,000 under the terms of the agreement. The promissory note is
collateralized by the stock of the subsidiary banks and bears interest at a
simple rate per annum equal to the one month London Interbank Offered Rate plus
200 basis points. Interest is payable on a quarterly basis; principal payments
are due in ten equal installments, beginning on the third anniversary of the
note, with the final balance due on December 21, 2010. Early reductions have
reduced the principal balance at March 31, 2000 to $1,065,000, with scheduled
principal reductions as follows:

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

The following is a discussion of the Company's financial condition as of March
31, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999, and the results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1999. These comments should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed
consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes appearing in this
report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, net interest income, the major
component of the Company's net income, was $3,034,000 compared to $2,589,000 for
the same period of 1999, an increase of $445,000. The improvement was mostly
attributable to an increase in the volume of average earning assets during the
period, particularly loans. Also contributing to the increase in net interest
income was a 19 basis-point increase in the interest rate spread. The average
rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 4.70% from 4.41% for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The net interest spread and net interest margin were 3.36% and 3.70%,
respectively, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000, compared to 3.17%
and 3.63% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999.

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 three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the
provision was $177,000 and $274,000, respectively. Criticized and classified
loans have decreased from $12,469,000 at March 31, 1999 to $7,925,000 at March
31, 2000. The majority of potential problem loans continue to be at the
Greenwood and Barnwell banks. Criticized loans were $1,993,000 and $2,089,000 at
Greenwood and Barnwell, respectively. Classified loans were $1,576,000 and
$717,000 at Greenwood and Barnwell, respectively. The Company's nonperforming
loans totaled $679,000 at March 31, 2000 compared to $1,506,000 at March 31,
1999. As a result of the decrease in criticized, classified, and nonperforming
loans, the Company has been able to reduce its provision for loan losses
significantly. Based on present information, management believes the allowance
for loan losses is adequate at March 31, 2000 to meet presently known and
inherent risks in the loan portfolio.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Total noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $875,000,
an increase of $38,000, or 4.5% from the comparable period in 1999.

The increase was primarily due to an increase in service charges on deposit
accounts and commissions from the sales of mutual funds. Service charge income
was $386,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 compared to
$337,000 for the comparable period in 1999. Commissions from the sales of mutual
funds were $44,000 compared to $7,000 in 1999.

                          COMMUNITY CAPITAL CORPORATION


NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Total noninterest expense for the first three months of 2000 was $3,325,000, an
increase of $517,000, or 18.4%, when compared to the first three months of 1999.

The primary component of noninterest expense is salaries and benefits which was
$1,640,000 and $1,377,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The $263,000 increase is the result of additional staff for the
growth of the Company and normal pay raises. Furniture and equipment expense
increased to $363,000 as of March 31, 2000 from $275,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999. Other operating expenses also increased $123,000, or 14.2%, over
the comparable 1999 period.

INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the effective income tax
rate was 8.60% and 7.27%, respectively, and the income tax provision was $35,000
and $25,000, respectively. The low effective tax rates are attributable to
significant amounts of nontaxaxble income from securities which offset the
majority of income before taxes.

NET INCOME

The combination of the above factors resulted in net income of $372,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $319,000 for the comparable period
in 1999.

The profitability of the Greenwood bank was supplemented by profits from the
Clemson, Belton and Barnwell banks for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
The Newberry Bank experienced a net loss for the quarter while Community Trust
Company broke even.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

During the first three months of 2000, total assets increased $15,598,000, or
4.34%, when compared to December 31, 1999. The Company experienced growth in the
loan area of $15,848,000 or 7.23% during the first three months of 2000.
However, this growth was offset slightly by a decrease in securities
available-for-sale of $2,562,000 or 2.48%. On the liability side, total deposits
increased $8,625,000 or 3.35% to $265,872,000 at March 31, 2000. Although
deposits increased slightly, the increase was not enough to fund the growth in
loans. The Company increased its advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank to
serve as a funding source. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank were
$40,889,000, an increase of $20,160,000 from the December 31, 1999 amount of
$20,729,000. Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase decreased from $46,493,000 at December 31, 1999 to $32,831,000 at
March 31, 2000.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Investment securities decreased $1,981,000 to $106,945,000 at March 31, 2000.
The decrease is primarily due to the reduction of $2,562,000 in securities
available for sale. As securities matured, funds were reinvested in higher
yielding loans. There were no purchases or sales of securities
available-for-sale during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

LOANS

Loans receivable increased $15,848,000, or 7.23%, since December 31, 1999. This
increase was primarily due to the continued strong loan demand in the Greenwood
market and steady growth at all of the other subsidiary banks. Balances within
the major loan receivable categories as of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999
are as follows:

LONG-TERM DEBT

During 1998, the Company borrowed funds from an unrelated financial institution
to use for capital infusions into TheBank in order to maintain minimum capital
requirements due to an increase in the asset base resulting from the purchase of
two branch offices of Carolina First Bank. The Company can borrow up to
$5,000,000 under the terms of the agreement. The promissory note is
collateralized by the stock of the subsidiary banks and bears interest at a
simple rate per annum equal to the one month London Interbank Offered Rate plus
200 basis points. Interest is payable on a quarterly basis; principal payments
are due in ten equal installments, beginning on the third anniversary of the
note, with the final balance due on December 21, 2010. Early reductions have
reduced the principal balance at March 31, 2000 to $1,065,000, with scheduled
principal reductions as follows:

                                                        ====================

During the first quarter of 1999, the parent company borrowed $500,000 from
another unrelated financial institution. This amount was renewed in the first
quarter of 2000. Interest is payable quarterly at a variable rate of 0.75% below
the highest prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal. The outstanding
principal balance plus any accrued interest is payable on February 10, 2001.

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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Shareholders' equity was increased by the $28,000 proceeds from sales of stock
to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan and net income of $372,000. Due to changes
in the market rates of interest, the fair value of the Company's securities
available for sale decreased which had the effect of decreasing shareholders'
equity by $396,000 net of the deferred tax effects for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 when compared to December 31, 1999. Shareholders' equity was
further decreased by $90,000 paid for the purchase of 11,100 shares of treasury
stock.

During the first quarter of 2000, the Company received a net amount of
$20,160,000 in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. These funds have been
used to support the substantial loan growth throughout all five of the Company's
subsidiary banks during the first quarter of 2000.

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 market
areas. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank will also continue to serve as a
funding source, at least for the near future. Short-term borrowings by the banks
are not expected to be a primary source of liquidity for the near term; however,
the Company has approximately $49,469,000 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.

ADVISORY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain of the statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q that are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements subject to the safe harbor
created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company
cautions readers of this report that such forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the
actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Although the Company's management believes that their expectations of future
performance are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of their
knowledge of their business and operations, there can be no assurance that
actual results will not differ materially from their expectations.

Factors which could cause actual results to differ from expectations include,
among other things, the challenges, costs and complications associated with the
continued development of the Company's recently acquired community bank
subsidiaries (the "New Banks") as start-up operations with no history of
operating profits; the ability of the Company to effectively integrate and staff
the operations of the New Banks as well as the operations allocated to the base
of deposits acquired in connection with branch acquisitions; the ability of the
Company to retain and deploy in a timely manner the cash associated with branch
acquisitions into assets with satisfactory yields and credit risk profiles; the
potential that loan charge-offs may exceed the allowance for loan losses or that
such allowance will be increased as a result of factors beyond the control of
the Company; the Company's dependence on senior management; competition from
existing financial institutions operating in the Company's market areas as well
as the entry into such areas of new competitors with greater resources, broader
branch networks and more comprehensive services; the potential adverse impact on
net income of rapidly declining interest rates; adverse changes in the general
economic conditions in the geographic markets served by the Company; the
challenges and uncertainties in the implementation of the Company's expansion
and development strategies; the potential negative effects of future legislation
affecting financial institutions; and other factors described in this report and
in other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable, as the Company qualifies as a "small business issuer" under
regulation S-B promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company sold an aggregate of 3,650
shares of Common Stock to its Employee Stock Ownership Plan without registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). The following
sets forth the dates and amount of such sales:


        Date                      Shares                      Proceeds
        ----                      ------                      --------
  January 20, 2000                1,574                      $  12,789
  January 31, 2000                  373                          3,023
  March 8, 2000                   1,703                         12,134



In each case, all of the shares were sold at the quoted market price at the time
of sale and were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in
Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act as a transaction, not involving a general
solicitation, in which the purchaser was purchasing for investment. The Company
believes that the purchaser was given and had access to detailed financial
information with respect to the Company and possessed requisite financial
sophistication. The Company did not sell any other equity securities during the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 which were not registered under the 1933 Act.

(1)      Exhibits

               27.  Financial Data Schedule
