               Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)



1.   General
     -------

     South Carolina Community Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated
     under the laws of the State of Delaware for the purpose of becoming the
     savings and loan holding company of Community Federal Savings Bank (the
     "Savings Bank"). Both companies are headquartered in Winnsboro, South
     Carolina. The Company is engaged primarily in the business of directing,
     planning and coordinating the business activities of the Savings Bank. The
     financial statements of the Savings Bank are presented on a consolidated
     basis with those of the Company.

2.   Basis of Preparation
     --------------------

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were
     prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and therefore, do
     not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the
     consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income,
     consolidated statements of stockholders' equity, and consolidated
     statements of cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting
     principles. However, all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
     management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial
     statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal
     recurring nature. The statement of income for the three month period ended
     September 30, 1998, is not necessarily indicative of the results which may
     be expected for the entire year.

     It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated interim financial
     statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
     statements and notes thereto for the Company for the year ended June 30,
     1998, which are included in the Form 10-KSB by reference (file no.
     0-24476).

3.   Income Per Share
     ----------------

     Basic and diluted income per share amounts for the three month periods
     ended September 30, 1997 and 1998, are computed in accordance with
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
     (SFAS 128). Income per share amounts for the three months ending September
     30, 1997 have been restated to conform with SFAS 128. Unallocated ESOP
     shares are not considered as outstanding in accordance with SFAS 128.
     Diluted income per share includes the effect of dilution for outstanding
     stock options.

     -------------

     At September 30, 1998, the Company had total nonperforming loans (i.e.,
     loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more) of approximately
     $938,000. Nonperforming loans were 2.53% of total loans at September 30,
     1998. Total nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets at September

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


General

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the
financial condition and the results of operations of the Company. References to
the "Company" include South Carolina Community Bancshares, Inc. and/or Community
Federal Savings Bank as appropriate.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking
statements consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition,
results of operations and business of the Company that are subject to various
factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these
estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic
competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines; changes
in legislation or regulation: and other economic, competitive, governmental,
regulatory, and technological factors affecting the Company's operations,
pricing, products, and services.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1998

The Company's total consolidated assets decreased by approximately $2.4 million
or 5.0% from $48.0 million at June 30, 1998, to $45.6 million at September 30,
1998. The decrease in assets for the period was primarily attributable to assets
used to repay the public deposits that were withdrawn during the quarter. These
deposits are short term in nature.

The composition of the Company's balance sheet has not been materially affected
by market conditions between June 30, 1998, and September 30, 1998. Net loans
increased $739,000 or 2.1% as a result of new loan originations exceeding
principal repayments and refinancing payoffs.

Consistent with its historical lending practices, the Company's loan portfolio
at September 30, 1998, consisted primarily of fixed rate loans with maturities
of up to twenty-five (25) years. The Company also makes thirty (30) year loans.
Consequently, the Company is exposed to a high degree of interest rate risk in a
rising interest rate environment. The Company has historically accepted this
risk in light of its relatively high capital levels. See -"Liquidity and Capital
Resources".

Deposits decreased $2.5 million or 6.5%, from $38.0 million at June 30, 1998, to
$35.5 million at September 30, 1998. The decrease in deposits was primarily
attributable to a $2.1 million decline in various certificates of deposit and
$0.4 million decline in NOW accounts. These certificates of deposit represent
public funds deposits that were withdrawn during the quarter.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30,
1997 and 1998

Net Income. Net income increased $2,000 from $119,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997, to $121,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998.
The return on average assets was 1.04 % for the three months ended September 30,
1997, compared to 1.02% for the three months ended September 30, 1998.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $35,000 or 7.4% from $472,000
for the three months ended September 30, 1997, to $437,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. The decline in net interest income primarily reflects
a decrease in average interest earning assets of $679,000 or 1.5% while average
interest bearing liabilities increased by $2.3 million or 6.9%. The majority of
the average deposit growth was from certificates of deposit which carry the
highest cost of funds.

Interest Income. Total interest income decreased $21,000 from $887,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997, to $866,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998. Interest on loans decreased $4,000 while interest on
investments and interest earning deposits decreased $17,000. The balance of
interest earning deposits has been declining because of the need to fund deposit
withdrawals and stock repurchases.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $14,000 from $415,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, to $429,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998. The increase for the three months ending September 30, 1998,
was the result of a $2.3 million increase in the average interest-bearing
deposits offset by a 17 basis point decrease in the cost of funds. The majority
of this average deposit growth came as a result of an increase in certificate of
deposit accounts.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company did not record any provision for loan
losses for either of the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.
Management has reviewed the allowance for loan losses in relation to the
Company's composition of its loan portfolio and observations of the general
economic climate and loan loss expectations. Based its internal loan loss model,
management feels that the allowance for loan loss is adequate at the end of both
periods. The ratio of the allowance to non-performing loans at September 30,
1998 was 31.2% and nonperforming loans to total loans was 2.5%.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income continues to be an additional source of
income for the Company. This income was $30,000 for the three months ending
September 30, 1997, and $35,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase is the
result of additional fees produced by new loan production.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased by $23,000 from $301,000
for the three months ending September 30, 1997, to $278,000 for 1998. The
decrease was the result of expense stabilization by management. Decreases in
compensation expense and other non-interest expenses were slightly offset by an
increase in net occupancy expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's primary sources of funds are
deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, and investment
maturities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a
predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The
Company's primary investing activity is loan originations. The Company maintains
liquidity levels adequate to fund loan commitments, investment opportunities,
deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments.

At September 30, 1998, there were no material commitments for capital
expenditures. Obligations to fund outstanding loan commitments at September 30,
1998, were approximately $839,000.

At September 30, 1998, management had no knowledge of any trends, events or
uncertainties that will have or are reasonably likely to have material effects
on the liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Company. Furthermore,
management was not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory
authorities which, if implemented, would have such an effect.

The Savings Bank exceeded all of its capital requirements at September 30, 1998.
The Savings Bank had the following capital ratios at September 30, 1998, and was
categorized as "well capitalized" under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations
adopted by the OTS pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991.

Year 2000 Issues. The Company has formulated a Year 2000 Compliance Plan to
address the Year 2000 issue. The phases identified under the plan are awareness,
assessment, renovation, validation and implementation. The purpose of the plan
is to outline the procedures necessary for assuring that the Company is in a
state of readiness for the century date change. Substantially all of the
Company's material data processing functions are provided by a third party
service bureau. The service bureau has advised the Company in writing that it is
Year 2000 compliant. The Company has received certifications of compliance from
approximately 80% of its other software vendors. Company personnel have
completed testing on all computer hardware with minimal failure being 

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
detected and are scheduled to perform testing on the system by the end of 1998.
The Company plans to make written and oral inquiries of customers, suppliers and
non-information technology providers as to their year 2000 readiness. Testing to
date indicates very little hard cost of remediation in management's opinion,
with the primary cost of the Company's Year 2000 compliance being staff time
during the assessment, testing and implementation stages. As of September 30,
1998, the Company has incurred approximately $5,000 in expenses toward
remediating the Year 2000 issue.

Based on the results of further system testing and results of written and oral
inquiries, the Company will continue to develop its contingency plan to provide
solutions to the Year 2000 issue. This contingency plan will be designed to
prepare a operating alternative in the event that systems do not perform as
planned either before or after the century date change. In accordance with a
recent regulatory examination, many of the steps under the Year 2000 compliance
plan are to be addressed by January 1999. The Company has a reasonable basis to
conclude that the Year 2000 issue will not materially affect future financial
results, or cause reported financial information not to be necessarily
indicative of future operating results or future financial condition. Successful
implementation of this plan are expected to mitigate any extraordinary expenses
related to the Year 2000 issue. However, no assurance can be given that the Year
2000 compliance plan will be completed successfully by the Year 2000.

Successful and timely completion of the Year 2000 project is based on
management's best estimates derived from various assumptions of future events.
These events are inherently uncertain, including the progress and results of
vendors, suppliers and customers Year 2000 readiness.
