indicative  of the  results to be expected  for an entire  year.  These  interim
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction  with the annual  financial

         Statements   included  in  Management's   Discussion  and  Analysis  of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations which are not historical in nature
are intended to be, and are hereby  identified as `forward  looking  statements'
for  purposes  of the safe  harbor  provided  by Section  21E of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Corporation cautions readers that forward
looking  statements,   including  without  limitation,  those  relating  to  the
Corporation's future business prospects,  revenues, working capital,  liquidity,
capital  needs,  interest  costs,  and income,  are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties  that could cause actual results to differ  materially  from those
indicated in the forward looking  statements,  due to several  important factors
herein  identified,  among others,  and other risks and factors  identified from
time to time in the Corporation's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.


RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000  COMPARED TO JUNE
30, 1999

Net Income

         For  the  first  half of 2000  CBI  earned  a  consolidated  profit  of
$1,477,000  compared to $972,000 for the first half of 1999,  an increase of 52%
or $505,000.  Basic and diluted  earnings per share were $.46 in the 2000 period
compared to $.30 for the 1999 period.

         For the first half of 2000  Orangeburg  National Bank reported a profit
of $1,104,000  compared to $1,002,000 for the first half of 1999, an increase of
10.2% or $102,000.

         For the first half of 2000 Sumter  National  Bank  reported a profit of
$393,000  compared to $213,000 for the first half of 1999,  an increase of 84.5%
or $180,000. The Sumter bank began operations in June 1996.

         For the first half of 2000  Florence  National Bank reported a net loss
of $12,000  compared  to net loss of  $211,000  for the first  half of 1999,  an
improvement of $199,000. The Florence bank began operations in July 1998 and the
bank achieved marginal profitability during the second quarter of 2000.

         As noted above,  consolidated  net income for the six months ended June
30, 2000, increased from the prior year by 52% or $505,000. The major components
of this increase are discussed  below.  Net interest income before provision for
loan  losses for the six months  ended June 30,  2000  increased  to  $4,977,000
compared  to  $3,956,000  for the same  period in 1999,  an increase of 25.8% or
$1,021,000.  For the same  period the  provision  for loan  losses was  $338,000
compared  to  $273,000  for the 1999  period,  an  increase of 23.8% or $65,000.
Non-interest  income for the 2000 period increased to $885,000 from $650,000 for
the 1999 period, a 36.2% or $235,000 increase. Non-interest expense increased to
$3,227,000 from $2,897,000, an 11.4% or $330,000 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 six months ended June
30, 2000 and 1999, the following table is presented.

                                    Period ended June 30,
                                   2000              1999
                                   ----              ----
                                  (dollars in thousands)
Average assets                  $238,508         $194,165
ROA                                1.24%            1.00%
Average equity                   $20,633          $19,427
ROE                               14.32%           10.01%
Net income                        $1,477             $972

The improvement in ROA and ROE is mostly related to increased volumes of earning
assets at all three banks.

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
six months of 2000 net interest income after provision for loan losses increased
to $4,639,000 from $3,683,000,  a 25.9% or $956,000  increase over the first six
months of 1999. This improvement was the result of a $43 million increase in the
volume of earning assets. The average yield on earning assets increased to 8.43%
for the 2000  period  from 7.89% for the 1999  period.  This was  primarily  the
result of an increase in the prime  lending  rate,  which was 9.50%  during June
2000 compared to 7.75% for the same month in 1999.

         For the first  six  months  of 2000 the cost of funds  averaged  4.75%,
increased from 4.28% for the first six months of 1999. The increase in the yield
on earning  assets was  partially  offset by this increase in the cost of funds.
The effect of these changes was a net interest  spread (yield on earning  assets
less cost of interest bearing  liabilities) of 3.68% for the first six months of
2000,  increased  from  3.60%  during  the first six  months of 1999.  CBI's net
interest  margin (net interest income divided by total earning assets) was 4.43%
for the first six months of 2000  compared  to 4.37% for the first six months of
1999.

Interest Income

         Elsewhere  in this report is a table  comparing  the average  balances,
yields,  and rates for the interest rate sensitive segments of the Corporation's
balance  sheets for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. A discussion of
that table follows.

         Total  interest  income for the first six months of 2000 was $9,471,000
compared  with  $7,145,000  for the same period in 1999,  a 32.6% or  $2,326,000
increase.  The yield on average  earning  assets for the 2000  period was 8.43%,
increased from 7.89% for the 1999 period.  Total average interest earning assets
for the 2000 period were $224,649,000, up from $181,187,000 for the 1999 period,
an increase of 24% or $43,462,000.

         The loan portfolio earned  $7,763,000 for the first six months of 2000,
up from $5,632,000 for the same period of 1999, a 37.8% or $2,131,000  increase.
The yield increased to 9.11% for the 2000 period from 8.79% for the 1999 period.
The average size of the loan portfolio was $170,429,000 for the 2000 period,  up
from  $128,183,000  for the  1999  period,  an  increase  of 33% or  $42,246,000
primarily as the result of strong loan demand.

         The taxable  investment  portfolio earned  $1,476,000 for the first six
months in 2000,  up from  $1,124,000  for the same  period  in 1999,  a 31.3% or
$352,000 increase. The yield increased to 6.37% in the 2000 period from 6.09% in
the 1999 period.  The average size of the portfolio  increased to $46,367,000 in
the 2000 period from  $36,886,000  in the 1999  period,  an increase of 25.7% or
$9,481,000.

         The tax-exempt  investment  portfolio  earned $16,000 for the first six
months in 2000,  up from  $13,000 for the same period in 1999, a 23.1% or $3,000
increase.  The yield (on a taxable equivalent basis) on the portfolio was 6.02%,
an increase from 5.94%. The average size of the portfolio  increased to $806,000
for the 2000 period,  up from $663,000 in the 1999 period,  an increase of 21.6%
or $143,000.

         Interest  bearing deposits in other banks  contributed  $28,000 for the
first six months of 2000  compared to $79,000  during the prior year, a decrease
of 64.6% or $51,000. The yield on these deposits increased to 5.69% for the 2000
period from 5.20% in the 1999 period.  CBI averaged $985,000 in interest bearing
balances in the first six months of 2000  compared to  $3,039,000  the first six
months of the prior year,  a decrease of 67.6% or  $2,054,000.  The decrease was
related to increased loan demand in all three markets.

         Federal  funds  sold  earned  $188,000  the  first  six  months of 2000
compared to $297,000  the prior year,  a decrease of 36.7% or  $109,000.  Yields
increased to 6.20% for the first six months in 2000 from 4.78% for the first six
months in 1999.  For the first six months of 2000,  CBI  decreased  its  average
volume in federal funds sold to $6,062,000  from  $12,416,000  for the first six
months  of  1999,  a 51.2% or  $6,354,000  decrease.  This  decline  was  mostly
associated with strong loan demand in the three markets.

Interest Expense

         Interest  expense  increased  for  the  first  six  months  of  2000 to
$4,494,000 from the prior year's $3,189,000, a 40.9% or $1,305,000 increase. The
volume of interest bearing  liabilities  increased to $189,300,000 for the first
six months in 2000 from  $148,890,000  for the first six months of 1999, a 27.1%
or $40,410,000 increase. The average rate paid for interest-bearing  liabilities

         The cost of savings  accounts  increased  to  $610,000 in the first six
months  in 2000 from  $455,000  in the  first  six  months  of 1999,  a 34.1% or
$155,000 increase. Average savings deposit balances increased to $31,364,000 for
the first six months in 2000 from  $28,242,000 for the first six months of 1999,
an  increase  of 11.1% or  $3,122,000.  The  average  rate  paid on these  funds
increased to 3.89% from 3.22%.

         Interest bearing  transaction  accounts cost $147,000 for the first six
months in 2000, an increase from the prior year's $127,000, up 15.7% or $20,000.
The volume of these deposits  increased to $20,050,000  for the first six months
in 2000 from $16,476,000 for the first six months of 1999, a 21.7% or $3,574,000
increase.  The average rate paid on these funds for the first six months in 2000
decreased to 1.47% from 1.54% for the first six months of 1999.

         Time deposits cost $3,147,000 for the first six months of 2000, up from
$2,249,000  for the first six months of the prior year,  an increase of 39.9% or
$898,000.  The volume increased to $116,441,000 for the first six months in 2000
from  $88,765,000  for the first  six  months  of 1999,  a 31.2% or  $27,676,000
increase.  The average rate paid on these funds increased to 5.41% for the first
six months in 2000 from 5.07% for the first six months in 1999.

         Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased and securities
sold under  agreements to  repurchase.  This is a relatively  small and volatile
part of the  balance  sheet.  It cost  $64,000  for the first six months in 2000
compared to $75,000 for the first six months of 1999, down 14.7% or $11,000. The
volume of these funds  decreased to  $3,134,000  in the first six months of 2000
from  $4,906,000  in the  first  six  months  of 1999,  a  decrease  of 36.1% or
$1,772,000. The average rate paid on these funds increased to 4.08% from 3.06%.

         Borrowings  from the Federal Home Loan Bank cost $526,000 for the first
six months in 2000,  an increase from $283,000 for the first six months in 1999,
up 85.9% or $243,000.  The advances averaged $18,311,000 during the 2000 period,
compared  to  $10,501,000  for the  prior  year  period,  a 74.4% or  $7,810,000
increase.  All three banks are now  borrowing  from the FHLB.  The  advances are
serving as an alternate  funding  source for continued  strong loan demand.  The
average rate paid on these funds increased to 5.75% from 5.39%.


Non-Interest Income

         Non-interest  income for the first six months of 2000 grew to  $885,000
from  $650,000 in the first six months of 1999,  a 36.2% or  $235,000  increase.
This was mostly the result of increasing  volumes of service charges  associated
with increased numbers of accounts.

Non-Interest Expense

         For the first six months of 2000  non-interest  expenses  increased  to
$3,227,000  from  $2,897,000  for the  first  six  months  of 1999,  an 11.4% or
$330,000  increase.  This  increase  is  related  to higher  levels of  business
activity and included the following components:

<PAGE>

         For the 2000  period,  personnel  costs  were  $1,892,000  compared  to
$1,683,000 for the 1999 period, an increase of 12.4% or $209,000;

         For the 2000 period,  premises  and  equipment  expense  were  $456,000
compared to $437,000 for the 1999 period, an increase of 4.3% or $19,000; and

         For the 2000 period, other costs were $879,000 compared to $777,000 for
the 1999 period, an increase of 13.1% or $102,000.

Income Taxes

         CBI  provided  $820,000  for federal and state  income taxes during the
first six months of 2000  compared  to $464,000  for the same period in 1999,  a
76.7% or  $356,000  increase.  The  average  tax rate  for the 2000  period  was
approximately  35.7% and for the 1999  period it was  approximately  32.3%.  The
Corporation  benefited  in the 1999  period from the  exercise of  non-qualified
stock options, which reduced the average tax rate.

44.2% or $19,000.

         Federal funds sold earned  $74,000 the second  quarter of 2000 compared

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL POSITION

Investment portfolio

         The  investment  portfolio is comprised of held to maturity  securities
and available  for sale  securities.  CBI and its three banks  usually  purchase
short-term  issues  (ten  years or less) of U. S Treasury  and U. S.  Government
agency  securities  for  investment  purposes.  At June  30,  2000,  the held to
maturity portfolio totaled  $12,370,000  compared to $13,369,000 at December 31,
1999, a decrease of 7.5% or $999,000.  At June 30, 2000,  the available for sale
portfolio totaled  $35,740,000  compared to $30,566,000 at December 31, 1999, an
increase of 16.9% or $5,174,000.  The following chart  summarizes the investment
portfolios at June 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999.

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 past  due and
non-performing assets at June 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.

                                              Jun. 30, 2000        Dec. 31, 1999
                                              -------------        -------------
                                                     (dollars in thousands)
Past due 90 days + accruing loans                   $205                $ -
Non-accrual loans                                   $359                $90
Impaired loans (included in nonaccrual)             $359                $90
Other real estate owned                             $124                $ -

         Management  considers the past due and non-accrual  amounts at June 30,
2000 to be reasonable in relation to the size of the portfolio and manageable in
the normal course of business.  The increase in non-accrual assets is associated
with a  small  number  of  loans  and  is not  indicative,  in  the  opinion  of
management, of any trend.

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

         Each subsidiary bank maintains its own allowance for loan losses, which
is available to absorb  losses  inherent in the loan  portfolio of that bank but
not the other banks.  The  aggregate  allowance for loan losses of the banks and
the aggregate activity with respect to those allowances are summarized below:

of  each  period,  management  of  each  bank  considers  historical  loan  loss
experience,   current  economic   conditions,   loans  outstanding,   trends  in
non-performing  and  delinquent  loans,  and the quality of collateral  securing
problem  loans.  After  charging off all known  losses,  management of each bank
considers the allowance adequate to provide for estimated future losses inherent
in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2000.

Deposits

         Deposits were $202,073,000 at June 30, 2000 compared to $184,364,000 at
December 31, 1999, an increase of 9.6% or $17,709,000.

         Time deposits  greater than $100,000 were  $40,651,000 at June 30, 2000
compared  to  $36,163,000  at  December  31,  1999,  an  increase  of  12.4%  or
$4,488,000.

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, Sumter National Bank, and Florence National

Bank service areas.  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 and its banks maintain an available for sale and a held to maturity
investment  portfolio.  While all these 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.  Such sales will generally be from the available for sale
portfolio.  Management deliberately maintains a short-term maturity schedule for
its  investments so that there is a continuing  stream of maturing  investments.
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.

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

         CBI through  its banking  subsidiaries  has a  demonstrated  ability to
attract deposits from its markets.  Deposits have grown from $30 million in 1989
to over $202  million  in 2000.  This base of  deposits  is the major  source of
operating liquidity.

         CBI's long term liquidity  needs are expected to be primarily  affected
by the maturing of long-term  certificates of deposit.  At June 30, 2000 CBI had
approximately  $24.3  million and $10.2 million in  certificates  of deposit and
other interest bearing  liabilities  maturing in one to five years and over five
years, respectively. CBI's assets maturing or repricing in the same periods were
$138.5 million and $47.7 million, respectively. CBI expects to be able to manage
its current balance sheet structure without  experiencing any material 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  maintains  a strong  capital
position.

                                                June 30, 2000      Dec. 31, 1999
                                                -------------      -------------
Tier 1 capital to average total assets .......    8.89%                 9.40%
Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets .......   11.85%                13.00%
Total capital to risk weighted assets ........   13.01%                14.20%

         The decline in the capital  ratios is related to balance  sheet  growth
during the period.  Banks are required to maintain a minimum total risk weighted
capital ratio of at least 8%, and CBI  currently  has 13.01%.  In the opinion of
management,  the  Corporation's  current and  projected  capital  positions  are
adequate.

Dividends

         CBI declared and paid a quarterly cash dividend of five cents per share
during the first and second  quarters of 2000. The total cost of these dividends
was $319,000.  In previous years the Corporation paid dividends on a semi-annual
basis. CBI also declared and paid a five percent stock dividend during the first
quarter of 2000.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

         Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse  changes in market  prices
and rates. The Corporation's  market risk arises  principally from interest rate
risk  inherent in its  lending,  deposit and  borrowing  activities.  Management
actively  monitors and manages its  interest  rate risk  exposure.  Although the
Corporation  manages other risks,  such as credit  quality and liquidity risk in
the normal course of business, management considers interest rate risk to be its
most  significant  market risk and this risk could  potentially have the largest
material  effect  on  the  Corporation's  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations.  Other types of market risks such as foreign currency  exchange risk
and commodity price risk do not arise in the normal course of community  banking
activities.

         Achieving  consistent growth in net interest income is the primary goal
of the  Corporation's  asset/liability  function.  The  Corporation  attempts to
control the mix and maturities of assets and  liabilities to achieve  consistent
growth in net interest  income despite  changes in market  interest  rates.  The
Corporation seeks to accomplish this goal while maintaining  adequate  liquidity
and capital. The Corporation's  asset/liability mix is sufficiently  balanced so
that the effect of interest rates moving in either  direction is not expected to
be significant over time.

         The Corporation's  Asset/Liability Committee uses a simulation model to
assist in  achieving  consistent  growth in net interest  income while  managing
interest rate risk.  The model takes into account  interest rate changes as well
as changes in the mix and volume of assets and liabilities.  The model simulates
the  Corporation's  balance sheet and income  statement under several  different
rate  scenarios.  The model's inputs (such as interest rates and levels of loans
and  deposits)  are  updated  on a  quarterly  basis in order to obtain the most
accurate  projection  possible.  The  projection  presents  information  over  a
twelve-month  period. It reports a base case in which interest rates remain flat
and reports  variations  that occur when rates increase and decrease 100 and 200
basis  points.  According  to the model as of June 30, 2000 the  Corporation  is
positioned  so that net interest  income will  increase  $135,000 and net income
will increase $84,000 in the next twelve months if interest rates rise 200 basis
points.  Conversely,  net interest  income will decline  $135,000 and net income
will decline  $84,000 in the next twelve  months if interest  rates  decline 200
basis points.  Computation of prospective effects of hypothetical  interest rate
changes are based on numerous  assumptions,  including relative levels of market
interest rates and loan prepayment,  and should not be relied upon as indicative
of actual results.  Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the
Corporation could undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

         As of June 30, 2000 there was no  significant  change from the interest
rate  sensitivity  analysis for the various changes in interest rates calculated
as of December 31, 1999. The foregoing disclosures related to the market risk of
the Corporation  should be read in connection with  Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Position and Results of  Operations  included in the 1999
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
