Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         A summary of significant  accounting policies and the audited financial
statements for 1999 are included in Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

Principles of Consolidation

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Community
Bankshares, Inc. (CBI), the parent company, and Orangeburg National Bank, Sumter
National Bank and Florence  National  Bank, its wholly owned  subsidiaries.  All
significant   intercompany  items  have  been  eliminated  in  the  consolidated
statements.

Management Opinion

         The interim financial  statements in this report are unaudited.  In the
opinion of management, all the adjustments necessary to present a fair statement
of the results for the interim period have been made. Such  adjustments are of a
normal and recurring nature.

         The results of operations  for any interim  period are not  necessarily
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 and notes thereto contained in the 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income,"
effective for fiscal years  beginning  after  December 15, 1997.  This Statement
establishes  standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its

Stock Dividend

         On January 31, 2000 CBI effected a  five-percent  stock  dividend.  All
outstanding shares and per share data amounts have been  retroactively  restated
to reflect the dividend.

Recently issued accounting standards

         In June 1998 the FASB issued SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting  for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities." All derivatives are to be measured at fair
value and  recognized  in the  balance  sheet as  assets  and  liabilities.  The
statement's  effective  date was delayed and is  effective  for fiscal years and
quarters  beginning  after  June 15,  2000.  Because  the  Company  does not use
derivative  instruments or transactions at this time, management does not expect
that this standard will have a significant effect on the financial statements of
the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

Net Income

         For the nine months ended  September  30, 2000 (the "2000  period") CBI
earned a  consolidated  profit of  $2,342,000  compared  to  $1,586,000  for the
comparable period of 1999, an increase of 47.7% or $756,000.  Basic earnings per
share were $.73 in the 2000 period compared to $.50 for the 1999 period.

         Orangeburg National Bank reported net income of $1,687,000 for the 2000
period.  This compares to $1,547,000 for the same period in 1999, an increase of
$140,000 or 9%. At September  30, 2000 the  Orangeburg  bank had $100 million in
loans, $147 million in assets, and $123 million in deposits.

         Sumter  National  Bank  reported  net income of  $634,000  for the 2000
period.  This  compares to $377,000 for the same period in 1999,  an increase of
$257,000  or 68.2%.  At  September  30,  2000 the Sumter bank had $60 million in
loans, $73 million in assets, and $55 million in deposits. The Sumter bank began
operation in June 1996.

         Florence  National  Bank  reported  net income of $39,000  for the 2000
period. This compares to a net after tax loss of $283,000 for the same period in
1999, for an  improvement  of $322,000.  At September 30, 2000 the Florence bank
had $27 million in loans,  $39 million in assets,  and $34 million in  deposits.
The Florence bank began operation in July 1998.

         As noted above,  consolidated  net income for the 2000 period increased
from the prior year by 47.7% or $756,000.  The major components of this increase
are discussed  below.  Net interest income before  provision for loan losses for
the 2000 period  increased to  $7,625,000,  compared to $6,221,000  for the same
period in 1999,  an  increase  of 22.6% or  $1,404,000.  For the 2000 period the
provision for loan losses was $490,000 compared to $439,000 for the 1999 period,
an  increase  of 11.6%  or  $51,000.  Non-interest  income  for the 2000  period
increased to $1,349,000  from $994,000 for the 1999 period,  a 35.7% or $355,000
increase.  Non-interest expense increased to $4,852,000 from $4,427,000,  a 9.6%
or $425,000 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


                                       9
<PAGE>

the  period,  annualized.  Based  on  operating  results  for the  2000 and 1999
periods, the following table is presented.

                                  Nine months ended Sept. 30,
                                     2000             1999

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 exceed the interest paid
on interest bearing  deposits and other interest bearing funds.  During the 2000
period  net  interest  income  after  provision  for loan  losses  increased  to
$7,135,000 from $5,782,000,  a 23.4% or $1,353,000  increase over the comparable
1999 period.  This  improvement  was  primarily the result of an increase in the
volume of earning assets at all three banks.

Interest Income

         Elsewhere  in this report is a table  comparing  the average  balances,
yields,  and rates for the interest  rate  sensitive  segments of the  company's
balance sheet for the  nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999. A
discussion of that table follows.

         Total interest income for the 2000 period was $14,745,000 compared with
$11,237,000  for the same period in 1999, a 31.2% or  $3,508,000  increase.  The
yield on  earning  assets for the 2000  period was 8.56%,  up from 7.96% for the
1999 period.  Total  average  interest  earning  assets for the 2000 period were
$229,709,000,  up from  $188,183,000 for the same period in 1999, an increase of
22.1% or $41,526,000.

         The loan  portfolio  earned  $12,184,000  for the 2000 period,  up from
$8,886,000 for the same period of 1999, a 37.1% or $3,298,000 increase. The 2000
yield  increased to 9.24% from 8.83% for the 1999 period.  The increase in yield
followed the increase in the prime lending rate, which rose to 9.50% in May 2000
from 8.00% in July 1999. The average size of the loan portfolio was $175,774,000
for the 2000  period,  up from  $134,149,000  for the same  period  of 1999,  an
increase of 31% or $41,625,000.


                                       10
<PAGE>

         The taxable investment  portfolio earned $2,230,000 for the 2000 period
up from $1,785,000 for the 1999 period, a 24.9% or $445,000 increase.  The yield
increased to 6.37% in the 2000 period from 6.14% in the 1999 period. The average
size  of the  portfolio  increased  to  $46,646,000  in  the  2000  period  from
$38,775,000 in the 1999 period, an increase of 20.3% or $7,871,000.

         The tax exempt investment  portfolio continues to be a relatively small
part of the portfolio. It earned $25,000 for the 2000 period compared to $22,000
for the 1999 period, an increase of 13.6% or $3,000.  The yield on the portfolio
was 6.27% (on a fully taxable equivalent basis), increased from the prior year's
5.93%.  The average  size of the  portfolio  increased  to $806,000 for the 2000
period from $749,000 in the 1999 period, an increase of 33.5% or $57,000.

         Interest  bearing deposits in other banks  contributed  $53,000 for the
2000 period compared to $90,000 during 1999, a decrease of 41.1% or $37,000. The
yield on these deposits  increased to 6.10% from 5.25%. CBI averaged  $1,159,000
in interest  bearing  balances in the 2000 period  compared to $2,285,000 in the
1999 period, a decrease of 49.3% or $1,126,000.

         Federal  funds sold earned  $252,000  for the 2000  period  compared to
$454,000 the prior year, a decrease of 44.5% or  $202,000.  Yields  increased to
6.55% from  4.95%.  For the 2000  period CBI  decreased  its  average  volume in
federal funds sold to $5,130,000 from  $12,225,000 for the 1999 period, a 58% or
$7,095,000 decrease. This decline was directly related to the strong loan demand
in each of the three banks' markets.

Interest expense

         Interest  expense  increased  for the 2000  period to  $7,119,000  from
$5,016,000 for the 1999 period,  a 41.9% or $2,103,000  increase.  The volume of
interest bearing liabilities  increased to $193,799,000 for the 2000 period from
$155,457,000 for the 1999 period, a 24.7% or $38,342,000  increase.  The average

$994,000 in the 1999 period,  a 35.7% or $355,0000  increase.  This increase was
mostly  generated by  substantial  increases in service charge fee income at the
Florence bank resulting from increased volumes of accounts.

Non-Interest Expense

         For the 2000 period non-interest  expenses increased to $4,852,000 from
$4,427,000 for the 1999 period, a 9.6% or $425,000 increase.

         Other costs were  $1,331,000 for the 2000 period compared to $1,188,000

2000  period  compared  to  $763,000  for the same  period  in 1999,  a 69.1% or
$527,000  increase.  The average tax rate for the 2000 period was  approximately
35.5%  and for the 1999  period  it was  approximately  32.4%.  The  Corporation
benefited in the 1999 period from the exercise of  non-qualified  stock options,
which reduced the average tax rate.

available-for-sale  portion. CBI and its three banks usually purchase short-term
issues of U. S. Treasury and U. S. Government  agency  securities for investment
purposes.   At  September  30,  2000  the  held-to-maturity   portfolio  totaled
$12,371,000  compared to $13,369,000 at December 31, 1999, a decrease of 7.5% or
$998,000.  At  September  30,  2000  the  available-for-sale  portfolio  totaled
$35,577,000  compared to  $30,566,000 at December 31, 1999, an increase of 16.4%
or $5,011,000.  The following  chart  summarizes  the  investment  portfolios at

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 September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999.





 .
                                                Sept. 30, 2000     Dec. 31, 1999

Other real estate owned .....................        $124                $ -

         The  increase in  non-accrual  loans is related to a limited  number of
accounts and is not indicative of any trends.  Management considers the past due
and non-accrual amounts at September 30, 2000 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 of each of the banks 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 of each of banks
considers the allowance adequate to provide for estimated future losses inherent
in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2000.

Deposits

         Deposits   were   $211,291,000   at  September  30,  2000  compared  to
$184,364,000 at December 31, 1999, an increase of 14.6% or $26,927,000.

         Time deposits  greater than $100,000 were  $41,118,000 at September 30,
2000  compared to  $36,163,000  at December  31,  1999,  an increase of 13.7% or
$4,955,000.

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  investment  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 for its lending activity 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 $211  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 September 30, 2000 CBI
had  approximately  $24.7 million in  certificates of deposit and other interest
bearing liabilities maturing in one to five years. CBI had $10.2 million in such
liabilities  maturing in over 5 years. CBI's assets maturing or repricing in the
same periods were $107.7 million and $39.9 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 shown by the  capital  ratios in the table  below,  CBI  maintains a
strong capital position.

                                               Sept. 30, 2000     Dec. 31, 1999
                                               --------------     -------------
Tier 1 capital to average total assets .....       8.93%                 9.40%
Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets .....      12.35%                13.00%
Total capital to risk weighted assets ......      13.58%                14.20%

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

         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 13.58%.  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 and six cents per share during the
third  quarter  of 2000.  The total cost of these  dividends  was  $453,000.  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


                                       17
<PAGE>

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 September 30, 2000 the Corporation is
positioned so that net interest income is estimated to increase $319,000 and net
income is estimated to increase  $196,000 in the next twelve  months if interest
rates rise 200 basis  points.  Conversely,  net interest  income is estimated to
decline  $319,000 and net income is  estimated  to decline  $196,000 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  September  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.
