                        NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   


 NOTE 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely 
of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.

                MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS         
           
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial position and operating
results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 1996, the Company continues to experience growth in total 
assets, total loans  and total deposits as compared to December 31, 1995.  
Total assets, loans and deposits increased by 5.46%, 7.37% and 5.65% 
respectively.  The growth in deposits and loans is consistent with prior 
year and management's expectations.  The growth in assets is attributable 
to growth in deposits and retention of earnings.  Management expects the 
growth to continue in the future.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 1996, the Liquidity Ratio was 26.61% which is within the
Company's target range of 25 - 30%.  The Banks have available lines of credit
to meet any unexpected liquidity needs.  Liquidity is measured by the ratio 
of net cash, short term and marketable securities to net deposits and short 
term liabilities.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company's overall interest rate risk was less than 5% of net interest 
income when subjected to rising and falling rates of 300 basis points.  The 
company has positioned itself to be protected against any perceivable change 
in rates in either direction.

Capital

Banking regulation requires the Company to maintain capital levels in 
relation to Company assets. At June 30, 1996, the Company's capital ratios 
were considered satisfactory based on regulatory minimum capital requirements.
The minimum capital requirements and the actual capital ratios for the 
Company at June 30, 1996  were as follows:

                                         Actual            Regulatory minimum

Leverage                                  8.31%                      4.00%
 Risk Based Capital ratios:        
 Core Capital                            11.65%                      4.00%
 Total Capital                           12.90%                      8.00%

Results of Operation

Net interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 1996  
increased 5.44% to $6,206,000 over $5,886,000 for the same period for 1995. 
Interest income for the six month period was up by 9.50% from $10,571,000 to
$11,575,000.  Earning assets were up by $24,822,000 as of June 30, 1996
over June 30,1995 or an increase of 10.83%.  The largest increase in
interest bearing assets was the increase in loans of $21,969,000 for this
period as loan demand continued to be strong in our market area.  Interest
expense on deposits was up by 16.48% over the same period for 1995 as 
interest bearing deposits grew by 19,707,000 or 9.81%. Interest income for
the three month period ending June 30, 1996 was up 7.00% over the three month
period ending June 30, 1995 while interest expense on deposits was up by 
8.95% for the same two periods.  This resulted in an increase in net interest
expense of 5.40% for the second quarter of 1996 when compared to the second
quarter of 1995.  The increases in interest income and interest expense and
net interest income were consistent with budget projections made by 
management.

The provision for loan losses was $428,000 for the first six months of 1996
compared to $349,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of 22.6%.  This 
provision will fluctuate based on Small Business Administration (SBA) loans 
closed, as we have a policy of reserving 5% of the unguaranteed portion of 
any SBA loans. This policy accounts for the full amount of the increase in 
the loan loss provision

The Loan Loss reserve for the company is evaluated monthly and adjusted to 
reflect the risk in the portfolio in the following manner.  We use four 
different methods of measuring risk in the portfolio: (a) Risk in our watch 
list of loans and past due ratios; (b) Historical charge offs; ( c)
Peer group comparisons; and (d) Percentage of classified loans.  We then 
compare results to reserve balance to assure any and all identified risk are 
covered.

The Provision for Loan Losses for the six month period ended June 1996 
represented 400% of charge offs for the same period, while the provision for 
the first six months of 1995 represented 498% of the charge offs recorded 
in that period.  The reserve at the end of June 30, 1996  represented 349% 
of nonaccrual loans while the reserve at June 30, 1995  represented
168% of nonaccrual loans.  This increase in coverage of nonaccrual loans 
was due to the large pay off of nonaccruals in the the first quarter of 
1996, resulting from  a large bankruptcy paying out.  The Loan Loss Reserve
balance to total loan ratio was 1.77% at both June 30, 1996 and June 30,
1995.

Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or 
special mention that have not been included in the table above do not 
represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably 
expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or
capital resources.  These classified loans do not represent material credits 
about which management is aware of any information which causes management to 
have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the 
loan repayment terms.

The large decrease in nonaccrual loans is due to a large bankruptcy payoff of
$588,000.  The large increase in 90 days past due and still accruing is due
to one real estate loan where collateral value exceeds all principal and 
interest due and no loss is expected.  The increase in restructured debt is 
due to one loan that was restructured through bankruptcy and continues to pay
on time as agreed.

The bank places loans on nonaccrual at such time it is apparent that the 
collection of all principal and interest is questionable and the loan is 
either past due 90 days or bankruptcy has been filed.  There are no impaired
loans as of June 30, 1996 that are not reflected in the table above.

Other operating income increased by 18% or $550,000 during the six month 
period ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period for 1995 and
increased by 454,000 for the three month period ended June 30,1996 as compared
to the same period in 1995. The item that was most responsible for this 
increase was Non-interest income from non bank subsidiary which had increases
of $333,000 for the six month period and  $317,000 for the three month
period.  These increases were due to increased sales of Supermarket Bank units
with units completed during the first six months of 1996 of 19 compared to 17
units completed in the first six months of 1995.  Likewise, there were 11 
units completed in the three month period ending June 30, 1996 as compared 
to 8 units completed during the second quarter of 1995.   

Other operating expenses increased by 8.0% or $514,000 for the first six 
months of 1996 over the same period in 1995 and by 10.19% or $325,000 for
the second quarter of 1996 over the second quarter of 1995.  Salaries and
benefits accounted for $362,000 and $184,000 of these amounts respectively
with the number of personnel rising from 180 full time equivalent employees 
at June 30, 1995 to 193 full time equivalent employees at June 30, 1996. 
This increase was due to the opening of three additional branches in June
and July of 1996. 

Effective July 1, 1996, the state of Georgia changed its branching law to 
allow banks to expand into three new counties during the period of July 1, 
1996 through June 30, 1998.  In accordance with this change, Community 
Bankshares, Inc. has applied for and received regulatory approval to open
facilities in White and Hall counties in July and September 1996 respectively.
It is anticipated that these two counties will be good market areas for our
company.

Occupancy and Equipment expenses were up $297,000 for the six month period
ending June 30, 1996 over the same period ending June 30, 1995 due to the
three new branches and the operation of 31 cash dispensing machines.

Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was up 13.2% 
over the same period for 1995 and net income for the three month period
ending June 30, 1996 was up 21.89% over the same three month period for 1995.
The net income for the second quarter 1996 was up 13.7% over the income for
the first quarter 1996.  Management expects increase to continue for the third
and fourth quarters, however, we do not expect the rate of increase to
continue at the current level. 

The company is not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties, 
other than the effect of events as described above, that will have or that 
are reasonably likely to have a material effect on its liquidity, capital 
resources or operations.  The Company is also not aware of any current 
recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were implemented, 
would have such an effect.
