Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Income

        For the first quarter of 1996, CBI earned a profit of $218,000, compared
to  $255,000  for the first  quarter of 1995,  a decrease  of 14.5% or  $37,000.
Earnings per share were $.21 in the 1996  period,  compared to $.30 for the 1995
period, a decrease of 30%.

        Primary earnings per share were calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted  average  number  of  common  shares  outstanding  during  the  period,
increased by dilutive common stock  equivalents using the treasury stock method.
Fully diluted earnings per share was  substantially the same as primary earnings
per share.  The dilutive effect of the common stock subscribed has been included
in the weighted average number of shares  outstanding for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.

        Net income for the period ended March 31, 1996, decreased from the prior
year primarily  because of a decrease in the net interest margin and an increase
in non-interest expenses,  mostly associated with the start up of the new Sumter
National Bank (in  organization).  Net interest income before provision for loan
losses  for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1996,  increased  slightly  to
$870,000,  compared to $863,000 for the same period in 1995,  an increase of .8%
or $7,000. For the period ended March 31,1996, the provision for loan losses was
$30,000,  compared to $45,000 for the 1995 period, a decrease of 33% or $15,000.
Non-interest  income for the 1996 period  increased to $107,000 from $97,000 for
the 1995 period, a 10.3% or $10,000 increase.  Non-interest expense increased to
$611,000 from $523,000, a 16.8% or $88,000 increase.

Profitability

        One of the best ways to review  earnings  is through  the ROA (return on
average assets) and the ROE (return on average equity).  Return on assets is the
income for the period divided by the average assets for the period,  annualized.
Return on equity is the income for the period  divided by the average equity for
the period, annualized.  Based on operating results for the quarters ended March
31, 1996 and 1995, the following table is presented.

Net interest income

        Net interest income,  the major component of CBI's income, is the amount
by which interest and fees on interest  earning assets exceeds the interest paid
on interest bearing deposits and other interest bearing funds.  During the first
quarter of 1996, net interest income after  provision for loan losses  increased
to $840,000 from $818,000,  a 2.7% or $22,000 increase over the first quarter of
1995.  This  improvement  was the result of an increase in the volume of earning
assets and a decrease  in the  provision  expense for loan  losses.  The average
yield on earning  assets  decreased  to 8.01% for the 1996 period from 8.27% for
the 1995  period.  This  decrease  was the result of three prime  interest  rate
decreases  over the past  year,  moving  the prime  rate from 9% to 8.25%.  Even
though  yields on  earning  assets  fell,  the cost of funds  increased  as many
customers moved deposits to fixed rate certificates of deposit to lock in higher
rates. For the first quarter of 1996 the cost of funds averaged 4.52%,  compared
to 4.20% for first quarter of 1995. Most of this increase was due to an increase
in the volume and cost of time deposits.

        The decrease in the yield on earning assets and the increase in the cost
of funds has reduced the spread and the net interest  margin.  The net effect of
these changes was a net interest  spread  (yield on earning  assets less cost of
interest bearing  liabilities) of 3.49% for the first quarter of 1996, down from
4.08% during the first quarter of 1995.  CBI's net interest margin (net interest
income divided by total earning assets) was 4.24% for the first quarter of 1996,
down from 4.74% for the first quarter of 1995.


Interest Income

        On page 5 of this  report is a table  comparing  the  average  balances,
yields, and rates for the interest rate sensitive segments of the Bank's balance
sheet for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. A discussion of that table
follows.

        Total interest income for the first quarter 1996 was $1,645,000 compared
with  $1,508,000  for the same period in 1995,  a 9% or $137,000  increase.  The
yield on earning  assets for the 1996 period was 8.01%,  down from 8.27% for the
1995 period.  Total average  interest earning assets for the quarter ended March
31, 1996, were $82,179,000,  up from $72,889,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1995, an increase of 12.7% or $9,290,000.

                                      9

        The loan portfolio  earned  $1,226,000 for the first quarter in 1996, up
from  $1,180,000  for the same period of 1995, a 3.9% or $46,000  increase.  The
first quarter 1996 yield  decreased to 9.36% from 9.61% for the first quarter in
1995.  The  average  size of the loan  portfolio  was  $52,380,000  for the 1996
quarter, up from $49,095,000 for the same period of 1995, an increase of 6.7% or
$3,285,000.

        The investment  portfolio earned $365,000 for the first quarter in 1996,
up from  $312,000  for the 1995  period,  a 17% or $53,000  increase.  The yield
increased to 5.76% in the 1996 quarter from 5.51% in the 1995 quarter.  The size
of  the  average  portfolio  grew  to  $25,323,000  in  the  1996  quarter  from
$22,669,000 in the 1995 quarter, an increase of 11.7% or $2,654,000.

        The tax exempt investment  portfolio earned $4,000 for the first quarter
in 1996, up from $1,000 in the 1995 period,  an increase of 300% or $3,000.  The
yield on the  portfolio  increased to 6.33% in the first  quarter of 1996 (fully
taxable  equivalent)  from 3.21% for the first quarter of 1995. The average size
of the  portfolio  increased to $414,000 for the 1996 period from $99,000 in the
1995 period, an increase of 331% or $315,000.

        Interest bearing deposits from other banks  contributed  $28,000 for the
first  quarter  1996,  compared to $3,000  during the prior year, an increase of
833% or $25,000.  The yield on these  deposits  decreased  to 4.97% for the 1996
period  from 7.25% in the 1995  period.  CBI  averaged  $2,255,000  in  interest
bearing  balances in the first  quarter  1996  compared  to  $165,000  the first
quarter of the prior year, an increase of 1266% or $2,090,000.  Virtually all of
this growth was due to stock  subscriptions  sold by CBI in connection  with its
Sumter bank project. These sales proceeds have been held in escrow by Orangeburg
National Bank and invested in short term time  deposits in  Orangeburg  National
Bank, pending termination of the offering.

        Federal funds sold earned  $22,000 the first quarter of 1996 compared to
$12,000 the prior year, an increase of 83% or $10,000. Yields decreased to 4.98%
for the first quarter in 1996 from 5.47% for the first quarter in 1995.  For the
first quarter of 1996,  CBI increased its average  volume in funds to $1,807,000
from $861,000 for the first quarter of 1995, a 110% or $946,000 increase.


Interest expense

        Interest  expense  increased for the first quarter 1996 to $775,000 from
the prior year's $645,000, a 20.2% or $130,000 increase.  The volume of interest
sensitive  liabilities  increased to  $68,575,000  for the first quarter in 1996
from $61,454,000 for the first quarter of 1995, an 11.6% or $7,121,000 increase.
The  average  rate CBI paid for  interest  bearing  liabilities  during the 1996
quarter was 4.52% up from 4.20% for the 1995 period.  This change was  primarily
due to the increased cost of time deposits.

        The cost of savings  accounts  decreased to $82,000 in the first quarter
in 1996 from $122,000 in the first quarter of 1995, a 32.8% or $40,000  decline.
Average savings deposit  balances  declined to $12,922,000 for the first quarter
in 1996 from  $15,865,000  for the first  quarter of 1995, a decline of 18.5% or
$2,943,000. The average rate paid on these funds decreased to 2.53% from 3.07%.


                                       10


<PAGE>

        Interest bearing transaction accounts cost $39,000 for the first quarter
in 1996, up from the first quarter of the prior year's  $31,000,  an increase of
25.8% or $8,000.  The volume of these  deposits  increased to $7,617,000 for the
first  quarter in 1996 from  $5,517,000  for the first quarter of 1995, a 38% or
$2,100,000 increase.  The average rate paid on these funds for the first quarter
in 1996 decreased to 2.05% from 2.23% for the first quarter of 1995.

        Time  deposits  cost  $615,000  for the first  quarter of 1996,  up from
$462,000  the first  quarter of the prior year,  an increase of 33% or $153,000.
The  volume  increased  to  $44,993,000  for the  first  quarter  in  1996  from
$37,561,000 for the first quarter of 1995, a 19.8% or $7,432,000  increase.  The
average  rate paid on these funds  increased  to 5.47% for the first  quarter in
1996 from 4.92% for the first quarter in 1995. The increase is  attributable  to
customers  moving  funds into fixed rate  certificates  of deposit  with  longer
maturities  and higher  yields  than  shorter  term  certificates.  This was the
largest single component contributing to the decline in the net interest margin.
However,  certificates  of deposit  totaling over $42 million will mature within
twelve months of March 31, 1996. Most of these  certificates  are expected to be
reinvested  automatically with Orangeburg  National Bank at rates  significantly
lower than the current average cost of time deposits, 5.47%.

        Short term borrowing  consists of federal funds sold and securities sold
under  agreements to  repurchase,  as well as notes payable made in  conjunction
with the Sumter National Bank (in  organization)  project.  This is a relatively
small and relatively volatile part of the balance sheet. It cost $21,000 for the
first  quarter in 1996 down from $30,000 for the first quarter of 1995, a 30% or
$9,000 decrease.  The volume of these funds decreased to $1,940,000 in the first
quarter in 1996 from  $2,511,000  in the first  quarter of 1995,  a decrease  of
22.7% or $571,000.  The average rate paid on these funds decreased to 4.31% from
4.78%.

        Borrowings  from the Federal  Home Loan Bank cost  $18,000 for the first
quarter in 1996, there were no such borrowings in the 1995 period.  The advances
averaged $1,103,000 during the quarter at an average cost of 6.64%.


Non-Interest Income

        Non-interest  income for the first quarter of 1996 grew to $107,000 from
$97,000 in the first quarter of 1995, a 10.3% or $10,000 increase. This increase
was mostly the result of increases in return check fee volume.


Non-Interest Expense

        For  the  first  quarter  of 1996  non-interest  expenses  increased  to
$611,000  from  $523,000  for the  first  quarter  of 1995,  a 16.8% or  $88,000
increase.

        For the three months ended March 31, 1996, personnel costs were $378,000
compared to $284,000 for the first quarter of 1995 , a 33% or $94,000  increase.
This  increase was due to salary  increases at the beginning of the year and the
addition of two new officers.  It also includes  $35,000 in personnel  costs for
one officer and one employee at Sumter National Bank (in organization).

         Premises  and  equipment  expense  for the  1996  period  were  $69,000
compared to $62,000 for the 1995 period, an increase of 11.2% or $7,000.

        Other costs were for the first  quarter 1996 were  $164,000  compared to
$177,000  for the first  quarter of 1995,  a decrease  of 7.3% or  $13,000.  The
largest component of this decline was a decrease in the FDIC insurance  premium.
For the  first  quarter  of 1996 the Bank  paid a  deposit  premium  of  $1,000,
compared to $38,000 for the first  quarter of 1995,  a 97% or $37,000  decrease.
Expenses for the first quarter of 1996 also include $18,000 in start up expenses
related to the  formation  of the new bank in Sumter.  There were no  comparable
expenses in 1995.

Income Taxes

        CBI  provided  $118,000  for federal and state  income  taxes during the
first quarter of 1996, compared to $137,000 for the same period in 1995, a 13.8%
or $19,000 decrease.


CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION

Investment portfolio

        The  investment  portfolio  is  comprised  of a hold to maturity  and an
available for sale portion.  CBI usually  purchases short term U. S Treasury and
government  agencies for  investment  purposes.  At March 31, 1996,  the hold to
maturity portfolio totaled  $17,044,000  compared to $15,610,000 at December 31,
1995,  an increase of 9.2% or  $1,434000.  At March 31, 1996,  the available for
sale portfolio totaled $10,500,000  compared to $9,059,000 at December 31, 1995,
an  increase  of  15.9%  or  $1,441,000.  The  following  chart  summarizes  the
investment portfolios at March 31, 1996, and December 31, 1995.

Loans held for resale

        Orangeburg National Bank originates many residential  mortgage loans for
sale into the secondary mortgage market.  Generally the Bank realizes fee income
from these loans and they are sold and off the books within a few weeks.  During
the first quarter of 1996 the Bank originated  $1,198,000 in such loans and sold
$742,000.  The balance outstanding at March 31, 1996, was $456,000,  compared to
$0 at December 31, 1995.

Loan portfolio

        The loan portfolio is primarily consumer and small business oriented. At
March 31, 1996, the loan portfolio was  $53,304,000,  compared to $52,323,000 at
December 31, 1995, a 1.9% or $981,000  increase.  The following chart summarizes
the loan portfolio at March 31, 1996, and December 31, 1995.

Past Due and Non-Performing Assets and the Allowance for Loan Losses

        CBI closely  monitors  past due loans and loans that are in  non-accrual
status and other real  estate  owned.  Below is a summary of the bank's past due
and  non-performing  assets at March 31, 1996,  December 31, 1995, and March 31,
1995.

</TABLE>

        Management  considers the past due and non-accrual amounts in March 1996
to be reasonable and manageable in the normal course of business.

        CBI had no restructured loans during any of the above listed periods.

        CBI's  activity with its allowance for loan losses reserve is summarized
below.

</TABLE>


        In reviewing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at the end of
each period,  management  considers  historical  loan loss  experience,  current
economic condition,  loans outstanding,  trends in non-performing and delinquent
loans, and the quality of collateral  securing problem loans. After charging off
all known losses,  management  considers  the allowance  adequate to provide for
estimated future losses inherent in the loan portfolio at March 31, 1996.

Premises and Equipment

        Premises  and  equipment  were  $1,889,000  at March 31,  1996,  up from
$1,708,000 at December 31, 1995, an increase of 10.6% or $181,000.. Most of this
increase was associated with the  construction  and equipping of Sumter National
Bank (in organization).


Deposits

        Deposits were $75,555,000 at March 31, 1996,  compared to $72,550,000 at
December 31, 1995, an increase of 4.1% or $3,005,000.

        Time deposits  greater than $100,000 were $15,323,000 at March 31, 1996,
compared  to  $12,838,000  at  December  31,  1995,  an  increase  of  18.9%  or
$2,485,000.

Note payable

       CBI arranged  $1,250,000 in credit lines with United  Carolina  Bank. The
interest rate on the lines is prime.  The maturity  date is August 5, 1996.  The
lines are intended to help finance the construction and pre-opening phase of the
Sumter  National Bank (In  organization)  project.  At March 31, 1996, CBI had a
balance of $413,000 on these lines. The loans will be paid off from the proceeds
of CBI's stock sale.


Federal Home Loan Bank advances

       Orangeburg National Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system
and, as such,  is entitled to borrow from the system.  The Bank has $1.2 million
in such loans  outstanding  at March 31,  1996,  compared  to  $700,000  for the
comparable  period in 1995,  an  increase  of 71% or  $500,000.  $120,000 of the
advances matures within the next year, the remainder matures in greater than one
year. The collateral for these loans is a blanket lien on the Bank's one to four
family residential mortgage loan portfolio.


Liquidity

        Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future obligations  through
liquidation  or maturity of existing  assets or the  acquisition  of  additional
liabilities.  Adequate  liquidity  is  necessary  to meet  the  requirements  of
customers for loans and deposit  withdrawals in a timely and economical  manner.
The most manageable  sources of liquidity are composed of liabilities,  with the
primary  focus of  liquidity  management  being the ability to attract  deposits
within the Orangeburg  National Bank service area. Core deposits (total deposits
less  certificates  of deposit of $100,000 or more) provide a relatively  stable
funding base.  Certificates  of deposit of $100,000 or more are  generally  more
sensitive  to  changes  in rates,  so they must be  monitored  carefully.  Asset
liquidity  is provided  by several  sources,  including  amounts due from banks,
federal funds sold, and investments available for sale.

        CBI  maintains  an  available  for  sale  investment  portfolio.   While
investment securities are purchased with the intent to be held to maturity, such
securities are  marketable  and occasional  sales may occur prior to maturity as
part of the process of  asset/liability  and  liquidity  management.  Management
deliberately  maintains a short-term  maturity  schedule for its  investments so
that there is a continuing  stream of maturing  investments.  At March 31, 1996,
the average life of the investment  portfolio was twenty-six months. CBI intends
to maintain a short-term investment portfolio in order to continue to be able to
supply liquidity to its loan portfolio and for customer withdrawals.

        CBI has substantially  more liabilities  (mostly deposits,  which may be
withdrawn) which mature in the next 12 months than it has assets maturing in the
same period.  However, based on its historical  experience,  and that of similar
financial  institutions,  CBI believes that it is unlikely that so many deposits
would be withdrawn,  without being replaced by other deposits, that CBI would be
unable to meet its liquidity needs with the proceeds of maturing assets.

                                       15

<PAGE>

        CBI also maintains two federal funds lines of credit with  correspondent
banks,  is able to borrow from the Federal  Home Loan Bank,  and is also able to
borrow from the Federal Reserve's discount window.

        CBI has a  demonstrated  ability to attract  deposits  from its  market.
Deposits  have grown from $30 million in 1989 to over $72 million in 1996.  This
stable,  growing base of deposits is the major  source of  operating  liquidity.
During this same period  CBI's loan to deposit  ratio (net of public  deposits),
another indicator of liquidity, has gone from 80% to 75%.

        CBI's long term liquidity needs are expected to be primarily affected by
the maturing of long term  certificates  of deposit.  At March 31, 1996, CBI had
approximately  $5,936,000  and  $600,000  in  certificates  of deposit  and FHLB
advances maturing in one to five years and over five years, respectively.  CBI's
assets  maturing  or  repricing  in  the  same  periods  were   $36,847,000  and
$6,315,000,  respectively.  CBI expects to be able to manage its current balance
sheet structure without experiencing any unusual liquidity problems.

        In the opinion of  management,  CBI's  current and  projected  liquidity
position is adequate.


Capital resources

        As summarized in the table below, CBI's banking subsidiary  maintained a
strong capital position.

</TABLE>

        Banks are required to maintain a minimum risk weighted  capital ratio of
8%.

        In the  opinion of  management,  the  Company's  current  and  projected
capital positions are adequate.

Dividends

        CBI declared and paid a semi-annual  cash dividend of 14 cents per share
during the first quarter of 1996. The total cost of this dividend was $121,000.

Common Stock Subscribed

        In December 1995 CBI began  offering up to 450,000  shares of its no par
common stock at $10 per share. The primary purpose of the offering is to acquire
all the stock of the Sumter  National Bank (in  organization).  Proceeds of this
sale are being held in escrow by Orangeburg  National Bank and invested in short
term  time  deposits  in  Orangeburg  National  Bank,  pending  receipt  of  all

                                       16

<PAGE>


regulatory   approvals  required  for  the  Sumter  National  Bank  to  commence
operations.  Management  expects that operations will begin during June 1996. At
March 31, 1996, CBI had received subscriptions for 258,468 shares or $2,584,680,
compared to 9,800 shares or $98,000 at December 31, 1995.

        The Common Stock account of the  Corporation was $4,584,000 at March 31,
1996,  compared to $4,617,000 at December 31, 1995. The Common Stock account has
been reduced by $33,000 in expenses during the first quarter directly associated
with the raising of capital,  including  legal and  accounting  fees,  printing,
postage, and advertising.


Sumter National Bank (in organization)

        On  May  5,  1995,   CBI  entered  into  an  agreement  to  sponsor  the
organization of Sumter National Bank, a national bank that is being organized by
a group of local businessmen in Sumter,  South Carolina to become a wholly-owned
subsidiary  of CBI.  CBI has also agreed to pay a portion of the expenses of the
organization  of the bank and to furnish the funds  necessary to capitalize  the
bank. The funds to capitalize  Sumter National Bank and to pay certain  expenses
of organization of the bank are expected to be provided by CBI from the proceeds
of a stock offering.  Completion of the organization of Sumter National Bank and
acquisition  of the bank by CBI are  subject  to  approval  of the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency  (OCC),  the Federal Deposit  Insurance  Corporation
(FDIC),  the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve),
and the South Carolina State Board of Financial  Institutions  (State Board). On
July 12,  1995,  an  application  for a national  bank  charter for the proposed
Sumter  National  Bank was filed  with the OCC and an  application  for  deposit
insurance was filed with the FDIC. During December 1995 preliminary approval was
obtained  from the OCC and the FDIC.  Federal  Reserve  approval was obtained in
March 1996 and State Board approval was obtained in May 1996.  The  construction
of the bank building began in January 1996 and is expected to be completed on or
about June 1, 1996.

        CBI is in the process of raising up to $4.5  million by selling  450,000
shares of its no par common stock at $10 per share. $3.5 million of the proceeds
will be used to capitalize  the Sumter bank. Any remainder will be used to repay
CBI for  organizational  and  preopening  expenses  of the  Sumter  bank and for
general corporate purposes. Through May 4, 1996, CBI has sold approximately $3.8
million in stock  subscriptions.  Proceeds  of the stock sale are held in escrow
pending the opening of the Sumter bank, which is expected in June 1996.
