            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
                       OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The Corporation recorded a net profit of $412,679 during the third  quarter of
1995 compared to a net profit of $348,445 for the third  quarter of 1994.
This was an increase of 18.43%. Income before income taxes for these periods
was $672,654 for 1995 and $499,529 for 1994. 

On a per share basis, net income for the third quarter of 1995 was $.34. This
compares to $.29 for 1994. These figures reflect a 100% stock dividend in the
form of a 2 for 1 stock split payable to stockholders of record as of July 31,
1995.  During the third quarter, the company achieved a 17.71% return on
average equity and a 1.89% return on average assets. This compares with a
15.87% return on average equity and a 1.59% return on average assets one year
earlier.

Management is unaware of any trend or events or uncertainties that will have or
that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company's liability,
capital resources or operations. Management has not received any recommendations
by regulatory authorities, which if implemented, would have a material effect on
the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, the primary source of the Company's earnings, is the amount
by which interest and fee income earned on earning assets exceed interest paid
on interest-bearing liabilities consisting of deposits and federal funds
purchased and securities under agreement to repurchase. Net interest income is
impacted by the volume, mix, and the general level of interest rates among
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The Company's net interest income was $1,140,097 in the third  quarter in 1995,
compared to $958,960  for the same quarter in 1994 and $826,344 for this period
in 1993. This growth was partially driven by higher levels of earning assets
which increased 9.58% in the third quarter of 1995, with average loans
increasing 5.20%. Total interest income for the three months ending September
30, of 1995 and 1994 was $1,921,036 and $1,517,073, respectively. Loan growth
was led by real estate lending. The increase in interest-earning assets was
funded by a 7.40% increase in total average deposits. Total interest expense for
the third quarter of 1995 and 1994 amounted to $780,939 and $558,113,
respectively.



The net interest margin is a measure of net interest income performance. It
represents the difference between  interest income, including net loan fees
earned, and interest expense, reflected as a percentage of average interest-
earning assets. The Company's net interest margin was 5.65% for the period
ending September 30, 1995 compared to 5.09% and 4.93% during the same period of
1994 and 1993. 

Provision for Loan Losses

For each period presented, the provision for loan losses charged to operations
is based on management's judgement after taking into consideration all factors
connected with the collectibility of the existing portfolio. Management
evaluates the loan portfolio in light of economic conditions, changes in the
nature and value of the portfolio, industry standards and other relevant
factors.  Specific factors considered by management in determining the amounts
charged to operations include internally generated loan review reports, previous
loan loss experience with the borrower, the status of past due interest and
principal payments on the loan, the quality of financial information supplied
by the borrower and the general financial condition of the borrower.

The provision for loan losses totaled $32,000 during the third quarter of 1995.
Because of recoveries totaling $110,506 during the first quarter of 1994, a
transfer to the provision for loan losses was not deemed necessary in the third
quarter of that year. In the opinion of management, the provision charged to
operations is sufficient to absorb the current year's net losses while continu-
ing to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level.

Net recoveries for the third quarter of 1995 were $3,744  compared to net
charge-offs of $1,971 for the same period in 1994 and $39,387 in 1993. As of
September 30, 1995 the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans, net of
unearned income, was 1.26% compared to 1.10% as of September 30, 1994.

The coverage provided by the allowance for loan loss reserves for non-performing
loans was .626X at September 30, 1995 as compared to a coverage of 5.81X at
September 30, 1994. Management believes, based on its review, that the Company
has adequate reserves to cover estimated future reduction of carrying values
that may be required on these loans.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest income decreased 31.24% in the third quarter of 1995
compared to an increase of 10.22% in 1994. In past quarters, a component of non-
interest income was from the factoring of accounts receivables loans. The
reduction of activity in this program has contributed to the decrease in non-
interest income. In addition, non-sufficient funds charges for the third quarter
of 1995 decreased 23.30% over the third quarter of 1994 due to the closing of a
branch office on March 31, 1995. Of the $166,273 in noninterest income, $128,264
was provided by service charges on deposit accounts.

Total noninterest expenses decreased 14.19% to $601,716 in the third quarter of
1995, compared to an increase of 13.62% to $701,240 in 1994. Salaries and em-
ployee benefits, the largest component of noninterest expenses, increased
1.63% in the third quarter of 1995 over 1994. During the third quarter of 1993,
by approval of the Board of Directors, bank management created an Executive
Incentive Compensation Plan for key management personnel based on the results of
the Bank's performance. Due to the adoption of this plan, the amount charged to
salaries for this plan for the third quarter of 1995 was $26,454. Other than
this significant change, employee benefits remain constant.

In addition, the Board of Directors created a Directors Performance Adjusted
Fees Program. This plan provides for the adjustment of directors' fees based on
meeting certain goals. This program had the effect of increasing other operating
expenses for the third quarter by $10,119.

The plans described above are based upon the attainment of specified ROA levels
which are computed by using monthly average assets. The amounts accrued under
these plans are based on net income reflected through September 30, 1995 on an
annualized basis.



Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

Liquidity. Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial
obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the
acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets
include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold,
investments and loans maturing within one year. The Company's ability to obtain
deposits and purchase funds at favorable rates determines its liability liquid-
ity. As a result of the Company's management of liquid assets and the ability to
generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the
Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors' re-
quirements and meet its customers' credit needs.

Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include, but are not
limited to, loan payments, the ability to obtain deposits through the adjustment
of interest rates and the purchasing of federal funds. To further meet its
liquidity needs, the Company also has access to the Federal Reserve System. In
the past, growth in deposits and proceeds from the maturity of investment
securities have been sufficient to fund the net increase in loans.

Loans, net of unearned income, to deposits were 80.45% as of September 30, 1995.
At September 30, 1995, 64.69% of total loans were due to mature in one year or
less. When loans with a variable rate are included with those due to mature in
one year or less, this percentage increases to 77.14%.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. In conjunction with maintaining a satisfactory level
of liquidity, management must also control the degree of interest rate risk
assumed on the balance sheet. Managing this risk involves regular monitoring of
the interest assets relative to sensitive liabilities over specific time
intervals.

At September 30, 1995, the Company had a slight negative gap position. This
liability sensitive position during times of increasing rates typically has the
effect of reducing the net interest margin. 


Capital Resources and Adequacy

he primary source of capital for the Company in recent years has been internally
generated retained earnings. Average stockholders' equity increased 14.59% in
the third quarter of 1995 over 1994 and the return on average total assets was
1.89% in the third quarter of 1995.



The Company's capital position continues to exceed regulatory minimums. The
primary indicators relied on by the Federal Reserve Board and other bank
regulators in measuring strength of capital position are the Tier 1 Capital,
Total Capital and Leverage ratios. Tier 1 Capital consist of common and
qualifying preferred stockholders' equity less goodwill. Total Capital consists
of Tier 1 capital, qualifying subordinated debt and a portion of the allowance
for loan losses. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk
weighted assets which consist of both on and off-balance sheet risks. The
Company's Tier 1 Capital ratios were 14.03% at September 30, 1995 compared to
12.63% at December 31, 1994. The Total Capital ratios were 15.24% at September
30, 1995 and 13.70% at December 31, 1994. These ratios are in excess of the
mandated minimum requirements of 4.00% and 8.00% respectively. The Leverage
ratios consist of Tier 1 Capital divided by quarterly total assets. At September
30, 1995, the Company's Leverage ratio was 10.31% which exceeded the required
minimum leverage ratio of 4.00%, as shown in the following table:

The Company's principal source of cash income is dividend payments from the
Bank. Certain limitations exist under applicable law and regulation by
regulatory agencies regarding dividend payments to a parent by its subsidiaries.
As of September 30, 1995, The Bank had approximately $3.8 million of retained
earnings available for distribution to the Company as dividends without prior
regulatory approval.



Current Accounting Developments

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement 114, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which becomes effective for years beginning
after December 31, 1994. Earlier application is permitted. The Statement
generally required impaired loans to be measured on the present value of expect-
ed future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or as an
expedient, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the
collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. A loan is impaired when it is
probable the creditor will be unable to collect all contractual principal and
interest payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. The
Bank adopted this Statement for the year beginning January 1, 1995, and
anticipates no material effect on its financial position and results of
operations upon the adoption of this statement.

Other

To better serve the marketplace, operations ceased at its West Washington Street
branch as of March 31, 1995. There has been no deterioration of the company's
deposit base as a result of this decision and management does not anticipate
earnings and profits to be materially affected.

At the May 16, 1995, Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Community Bankshares
Incorporated, shareholders voted to approve an Incentive Stock Option Plan and
Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan. Such plans were described in the Proxy Statement
dated April 21, 1995.

Also at this meeting, it was voted to approve an amendment to the Corporation's
Articles of Incorporation to increase the amount of authorized common stock from
1,000,000 to 4,000,000 shares.

At its July 18, 1995 meeting, the corporation's Board of Directors declared a 2
for 1 stock split of common stock effective in the form of a 100% stock dividend
payable August 31, 1995 to stockholders of record as of July 31, 1995. The par
value of the additional shares of common stock issued in connection with the
stock split was credited to common stock and a like amount charged to retained
earnings.

These interim financial statements are prepared on a basis consistent of that of
the prior year. They present all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period
presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts relating to the prior period have been restated to conform to
the current period presentations. These reclassification have no effect on the
previously reported income or equity.
