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 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  statements  of income for the three and nine month periods ended March
     31,  1999,  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  which may be
     expected for the entire year.

     It is suggested that these unaudited  consolidated  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.   Earnings Per Share

     Basic  earnings per common  share for all periods  presented is computed by
     dividing  net  income by the  weighted  average  number  of  common  shares
     outstanding.  Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net
     income by the weighted  average  number of common  shares  outstanding  and
     dilutive  potential  common shares,  which include stock options.  Dilutive
     potential common shares are calculated using the treasury stock method.

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.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1998 and March 31, 1999

The Company's total consolidated  assets decreased by approximately $2.6 million
or 5.3% from $48.0  million at June 30, 1998 to $45.4 million at March 31, 1999.
The decrease in assets for the period was primarily  attributable to assets used
to repay a $2.4 million  public  deposit that was  withdrawn  during the period.
This deposit was 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 March  31,  1999.  Net loans
increased  $2.5 million or 6.8% as a result of new loan  originations  exceeding
principal repayments and refinancing payoffs.

Consistent with its historical lending  practices,  the Company's loan portfolio
as of March 31, 1999 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 $1.9 million or 5.1%, from $38.0 million at June 30, 1998 to
$36.1  million  at March 31,  1999.  The  decrease  in  deposits  was  primarily
attributable to the withdrawal of a public deposit of $2.4 million offset by new
deposits.

Comparison  of Results of  Operations  for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998
and 1999

Net Income.  Net income  decreased  $13,000  from  $122,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 to $109,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The
return on average  assets was 1.06% for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1998
compared to .95 % for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $31,000 or 6.7% from $466,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $435,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The decline in net interest income primarily reflects a decrease
in interest  rate spread from 3.32% for three  months  ending  March 31, 1998 to
3.11% for the three months ended March 31, 1999.


                                       10

Interest Income.  Total interest income decreased  $44,000 from $889,000 for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1998 to $845,000 for the three months ended March
31,  1999.  Interest on  investments  decreased  $32,000 or 42.7% as the average
portfolio decreased by approximately $2.1 million.  Interest on interest earning
deposits  decreased  $17,000  or 31.5% as the  average  portfolio  decreased  by
approximately  $929,000.  Average  interest  earning  assets have been declining
primarily  to  provide   funds  for  stock   repurchases   plans  and  new  loan
originations.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $13,000 from $423,000 for the three
months  ended March 31, 1998 to $410,000  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1999.  The decrease for the three months ending March 31, 1999 was primarily the
result  a 14 basis  point  decrease  in the  cost of  funds.  The  Savings  Bank
continues to concentrate on attracting transactional accounts that carry a lower
cost of funds.

Provision  for Loan Losses.  The Company did not record any  provision  for loan
losses for  either of the three  month  periods  ended  March 31.  Historically,
management has emphasized  the Company's loss  experience  over other factors in
establishing  provisions for loan losses.  However,  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.  The ratio of the allowance to  non-performing  loans at March 31,
1999 was 25.5% and nonperforming loans to total loans were only 2.96%.

Non-Interest  Income.  Non-interest income decreased $5,000 for the three months
ending March 31, 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998.

Non-Interest  Expense.  Non-interest  expense  decreased by $28,000 or 8.9% from
$314,000  for the three months  ending March 31, 1998 to $286,000 for 1999.  The
decrease was the result of management's  efforts to control operating  expenses.
Compensation expense and employee benefits decreased $17,000 or 9.7%, due to the
lower expense  recognized for ESOP  compensation  because of lower average stock
prices during the March 99 quarter compared to the same period in 1998.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 1998 and
1999

Net Income.  Net income  increased  $15,000 or 4.8% from  $311,000  for the nine
months  ended  March 31, 1998 to  $326,000  for the nine months  ended March 31,
1999.  The return on average  assets was 0.90 % for the nine months  ended March
31, 1998 compared to .95 % for the nine months ended March 31, 1999.

Net  Interest  Income.  Net  interest  income  decreased  $72,000  or 5.2%  from
$1,382,000  for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 to $1,310,000  for the nine
months  ended March 31,  1999.  The  decline in net  interest  income  primarily
reflects a decrease in average interest earning assets of approximately $414,000
compounded  by  an  increase  in  average   interest   bearing   liabilities  of
approximately  $906,000 or 2.6%.  The interest rate spread also  decreased  from
3.11% for nine months ending March 31, 1998 to 3.09 % for the nine months ending
March 31, 1999.

                                       11

<PAGE>


Interest Income. Total interest income decreased $79,000 or 3.0% from $2,654,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 1998 to $2,575,000 for the nine months ended
March 31,  1999.  Interest  on loans  increased  $25,000,  or 1.1%.  Interest on
investments and interest earning deposits  decreased in aggregate by $104,000 or
27.1%, as these average  portfolios during the nine months ending March 31, 1999
were approximately  $2.1 million less than the same period in 1998.  Declines in
these average interest-earning assets have funded new loans and stock repurchase
plans.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $7,000 from $1,272,000 for the nine
months  ended March 31, 1998 to  $1,265,000  for the nine months ended March 31,
1999. The decrease for the nine months ending March 31, 1999 was the result of a
15 basis  point  decrease  in the  average  cost of funds  offset by a  $906,000
increase in the average  deposits  outstanding as compared to the same period in
1998.

Provision  for Loan Losses.  The Company did not record any  provision  for loan
losses  for  either of the nine  month  periods  ended  March 31.  Historically,
management has emphasized  the Company's loss  experience  over other factors in
establishing  provisions for loan losses.  However,  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.

Non-Interest  Income.  This income was $90,000 for the nine months  ending March
31,  1998 and  $93,000  for the same  period in 1999.  Management  continues  to
concentrate on generating additional fee income.

Non-Interest  Expense.  Non-interest  expense  decreased by $93,000 or 9.7% from
$961,000  for the nine  months  ending  March  31,  1998 to  $868,000  for 1999.
Expenses  associated  with the expanded  bank  facilities,  products and general
operations  have  stabilized.  Management is  continuing  its efforts to control
operating expenses. Compensation expense and employee benefits decreased $23,000
or 4.5%, due to the lower expense  recognized for ESOP  compensation  because of
lower average stock prices during the comparable periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The Company's primary sources of funds are new
deposits,  investment  maturities  and  proceeds  from  principal  and  interest
payments on loans. While maturities of investments 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 adequat to fund loan commitments,  investment
opportunities, deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments. At March 31,
1999  commitments  to fund new loans were  approximately  $764,000  and unfunded
loans in process were approximately $350,000.

At March 31, 1999, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures.

At March  31,  1999,  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.  Further at
March 31, 1999,  management was not aware of any current  recommendations by the
regulatory authorities, which, if implemented, would have such an effect.

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 th Company in writing that it is
Year 2000 compliant.  The Company has received certifications of compliance from
approximately  90%  of  its  other  software  vendors.  Company  personnel  have
completed  testing on all computer  hardware and software with minimal  failures
being  detected.  The Company is making 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 March 31, 1999, 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 an  operating  alternative  in the event that  systems do not perform as
planned  either  before or after the  century  date  change.  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 is 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.

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.
