ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

Community Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") is registered as a bank holding
company with the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Act.  The Company
was organized in 1983 and commenced business in February, 1985, with the
acquisition of the Bank of Blountsville.  As of December 31, 1994, the Company
had two operating bank subsidiaries, Community Bank, an Alabama banking
corporation ("Community Bank (Alabama)"), and Community Bank, a Tennessee
banking corporation ("Community Bank (Tennessee)").  The majority of the banks'
loans are to individuals and small to mid-size businesses in Alabama and
Tennessee.

Community Bank (Alabama) operated through thirteen locations in Blount, Dekalb,
Limestone, Madison, Marshall and Morgan Counties in Alabama during all of 1995.
A fourteenth location was opened on May 8, 1995, in Rogersville, Lauderdale
County, and a fifteenth was opened on January 17, 1995, in Haleyville,
Winston County.  Community Bank (Alabama) also operates two subsidiaries,
Community Appraisals, Inc. and Community Insurance Corp.  Community Appraisals,
Inc. is engaged in the business of appraising real estate; Community Insurance
Corp. currently acts as an agent for selling title insurance and life
insurance.  1st Community Credit Corporation, organized for the purpose of
establishing a finance company, was incorporated in late 1995 but remained
inactive as of December 31, 1995.

Community Bank (Tennessee) commenced operations on November 15, 1993, in
Pulaski, Tennessee.  Although the Company has not previously engaged in
business beyond Alabama, the Tennessee bank is situated in an economic and
geographical area with the same characteristics as the Alabama bank subsidiary
markets.

The Company maintains its principal executive offices at Main Street, P.O. Box
1000, Blountsville, Alabama 35031.

SUBSIDIARY BANKS

Community Bank (Alabama) conducts a general commercial banking business at
fifteen locations in eight counties in Alabama.  The present locations are
Blountsville, Oneonta, Snead and West Blount in Blount County; Rainsville, in
DeKalb County; Rogersville, in Lauderdale County; Elkmont in Limestone County;
Gurley, Meridianville and New Hope in Madison County; Arab (Downtown) and Arab
(Parkway) in Marshall County; and Falkville and Hartselle in Morgan County. The
fifteenth location was opened in Haleyville, Winston County, on January 17,
1996.

Community Bank (Tennessee) is similarly engaged in a general commercial banking
business in Pulaski, Tennessee, in two permanent facilities which were occupied
on December 19, 1994. Community Bank (Tennessee) was established by the Company
through the acquisition of the Charter of City and County Bank of McMinn
County, a Tennessee state bank which formerly operated in McMinn County.  After
all state and federal regulatory approvals were received, the Company
consummated the purchase of the charter in November of 1993 and established
Community Bank (Tennessee) as a new state chartered bank.

The subsidiary banks perform banking services customary for full service banks
of similar size and character for their customers in Alabama and Tennessee.
Such services include the receipt of demand and time deposit accounts, the
extension of personal and commercial loans and the furnishing of personal and
commercial checking accounts.  Title insurance, life insurance, and appraisal
services are available through the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Community Bank
(Alabama).

ACQUISITIONS

During 1993, the Company received all necessary approvals from the State of
Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions, FDIC, and Federal Reserve Bank
of Atlanta to acquire the charter of City and County Bank of McMinn County, a
Tennessee state chartered bank, which had ceased operations at the close of
1991.  The Company paid $149,000 for the charter pursuant to an agreement with
Sweetwater Valley Corporation entered into on February 28, 1992.

Community Bank (Tennessee) received approval from the State of Tennessee
Department of Financial Institutions to commence operations and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation granted deposit insurance on November 12, 1993.
The bank was initially capitalized with $3.5 million which was obtained from
the proceeds of a loan extended to the Company by Colonial Bank.

On September 25, 1995, Community Bank (Alabama) executed a definitive agreement
to acquire certain assets and liabilities of the Haleyville, Alabama location
of Compass Bank. On January 12, 1996, the agreement was consummated, with
Community Bank (Alabama) assuming liabilities of $31.3 million in exchange for
assets of $12.4 million, a premium of $2.2 million, and cash of $16.7 million.
On November 3, 1995, Community Bank (Alabama) executed a definitive agreement
with Compass Bank for a similar acquisition of approximately $11 million in
Uniontown, Alabama. The second transaction should be consummated in the first
half of 1996.


COMPETITION

The banking business in northern Alabama and southern Tennessee is highly
competitive with respect to loans, deposits and other services and is dominated
by a number of major banks and bank holding companies which have numerous
offices and affiliates operating over wide geographic areas.  The bank
subsidiaries compete for deposits, loans and other business with these banks as
well as with savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage companies,
insurance companies and other local financial institutions.  Many of the major
commercial banks operating in the subsidiaries' service areas offer services
such as international banking, and investment and trust services, which are not
offered by the subsidiaries.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 1995, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately 219
full-time equivalent employees.  The Company and its subsidiaries provide a
variety of group life, health and accident insurance, retirement and stock
ownership plans (ESOP) and other benefit programs for their employees.  The
Company maintains continuing educational and training programs for its
employees designed to prepare them for positions of increasing responsibility
in management or operations.  Membership and participation in professional and
industry organizations is encouraged and supported by the Company.

                           SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

THE COMPANY

The banking industry is highly regulated.  To the extent that the following
information describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provision.
The following factors affect the Company's operations.

The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"), and is registered with, and
subject to supervision by, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta (collectively, the "Federal Reserve").
The Company is required to file periodic reports and such additional
information as the Federal Reserve may require pursuant to the BHC act.  The
Federal Reserve may also examine the Company and its subsidiaries.

The BHC Act requires Federal Reserve approval before the Company may acquire
substantially all the assets of any bank if by the acquisition the Company
would own or control more than five percent of the voting shares of the bank,
or for a merger or consolidation with another bank holding company.  The
Company may however, engage in or acquire an interest in a company that engages
in activities which the Federal Reserve has determined by regulation or order
to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be
properly incident thereto.

The Federal Reserve has adopted a risk-based capital adequacy assessment system
for bank holding companies.  Assets are weighted by a risk factor and a ratio
is calculated by dividing qualifying capital by the risk-weighted assets.  Tier
I capital generally includes common stock and retained earnings.  Total capital
is comprised of Tier I capital and Tier II capital, which includes certain
allowances for loan losses, certain subordinated debt and perpetual preferred
stock.  The Company's Tier I and Total Capital ratios exceeded the required
minimum levels as of December 31, 1995.

The Company is a legal entity which is separate and distinct from its
subsidiaries.  Federal law restricts extensions of credit by its subsidiary
banks to the Company or its affiliates.  Dividends to shareholders of the
Company may be paid only from dividends paid to the Company by its
subsidiaries.


THE SUBSIDIARIES

Deposits in the bank subsidiaries are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") and therefore they are subject to examination by the FDIC.
The Company can be held liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected
to be incurred by, the FDIC in connection with the default of a commonly
controlled FDIC-insured subsidiary or any assistance by the FDIC to any
commonly controlled FDIC-insured subsidiary in danger of default.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
implemented a number of provisions applicable to insured banks and bank holding
companies.  Federal bank regulatory agencies are required to establish
standards for safety and soundness of banks and bank holding companies relating
to internal controls and audit systems, loan documentation, credit
underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth and compensation.  The
FDICIA also requires bank holding companies to guarantee compliance with any
capital restoration plans entered into by a subsidiary bank and the FDIC.  The
activities of insured state banks, including non-subsidiary equity investment,
is generally limited under the FDICIA to those permitted for national banks.





                                      3

<PAGE>   5

The FDICIA also requires regulations to be adopted by federal banking agencies
establishing minimum loan to value ratios for all real estate mortgage and
construction loans.  The FDICIA requires regulations to limit risks posed by an
insured bank's "exposure" to another bank.  Exposure includes extension of
credit, purchases of securities issued by the other bank, or acceptance of
securities issued by the other bank as collateral for an extension of credit.
Regulations pursuant to FDICIA limit such exposure.

The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA") and its implementing regulations
are intended to encourage regulated financial instiyutions to meet the credit
needs of their local community or communities, including low and moderate
income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of such
financial institutions. The regulations provide that the appropriate regulatory
authority will assess CRA reports in connection with applications for
establishment of domestic branches, acquisitions of banks or mergers involving
bank holding companies. Regulators are placing increased emphasis on CRA
assessments. An unsatisfactory CRA rating may serve as a basis to deny an
application to acquire or establish a new bank, to esatblish a new branch or to
expand banking services.

The Equal Credit Opportunity Act ("ECOA") requires non-discrimination in
banking services.  The federal enforcement agencies have recently cited
institutions for red-lining (refusing to extend credit to residents of a
specific geographic area known to be comprised predominantly of minorities) or
reverse red-lining (extending credit to minority applicants  on terms less
favorable than those offered to non-minority applicants).  Violations can
result in the assessment of substantial civil penalties.

Community Bank (Alabama) is subject to regulation and examination by the
Alabama Superintendent of Banks (the "Superintendent").  Community Bank
(Tennessee) is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the
Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (the
"Commissioner").  State regulations in Alabama and Tennessee relate to such
matters as loans, mortgages, consolidations, required reserves, allowable
investments, issuance of securities, payment of dividends, establishment of
branches, filing of periodic reports and other matters affecting the business
of the respective banks.

The Supervisory Policy Statement on Securities Activities developed under the
auspices of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC")
was adopted by the Federal Reserve Bank and became effective on February 10,
1992.  This policy addresses the selection of securities dealers and requires
depository institutions to establish prudent policies and strategies for
securities transactions.  The policy statement also addresses unsuitable
investment practices and establishes a framework for identifying when mortgage
derivative products are high-risk mortgage securities which must be reported as
securities held for sale or trading.

On September 28, 1994, the President signed into law the Riegle-Neal Interstate
Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("IBBEA").  Beginning September
29, 1995, IBBEA permits adequately capitalized and managed bank holding
companies to acquire control of banks in states other than their home states,
subject to federal regulatory approval, without regard to whether such a
transaction is prohibited by the laws of any state. IBBEA permits states to
continue to require that an acquired bank have been in existence for a certain
minimum time period, which may not exceed five years. A bank holding company
may not, following an interstate transaction, control more than 10% of the
nation's total bank deposits or 30% of bank deposits in the relevant state
(unless the state enacts legislation to raise the 30% limit). States retain the
ability to adopt legislation to effectively lower the 30% limit.





                                      4

<PAGE>   6

Beginning June 1, 1997, federal banking regulators may approve merger
transactions involving banks located in different states, without regard to
laws of any state prohibiting such transactions; except that, mergers may not
be approved with respect to banks located in states that, prior to June 1,
1997, enacted legislation prohibiting mergers by banks located in such state
with out-of-state institutions. Federal banking regulators may permit an
out-of-state bank to open new branches in another state if such state has
enacted legislation permitting interstate branching. Affiliated institutions
are authorized to accept deposits for existing accounts, renew time deposits,
and close and service loans for affiliated institutions without being deemed an
impermissible branch of the affiliate.


GOVERNMENTAL MONETARY POLICIES

The Federal Reserve System regulates the national supply of bank credit.  The
instruments on monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve to implement these
objectives are: open market operations in U. S. Government securities, changes
in discount rate, reserve requirements on member bank's deposits and funds
availability regulations.  The Company and its subsidiaries are affected by the
credit policies of monetary authorities.  These instruments are used in varying
combinations to influence the overall growth of bank loans.  The earnings and
growth of the Company and subsidiaries will be subject to the influence of
economic conditions generally and also to the monetary and fiscal policies of
the United States and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve.  The
nature and timing of any changes in such policies and their impact on the
Company cannot be predicted.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The purpose of this discussion is to focus on the significant changes in  the
financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its
subsidiaries during the past three years.  This discussion and analysis is
intended to supplement and highlight information contained in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and the selected financial data presented
elsewhere in this report.

The discussion of net interest income in this financial review is presented on
a taxable equivalent basis to facilitate performance comparisons among various
taxable and tax-exempt assets.


SUMMARY

The Company's principal market areas are located in North Central Alabama (in
the counties of Blount, Dekalb, Lauderdale, Limestone, Madison, Marshall,
Morgan and Winston) and in South Central Tennessee (in Giles County). All of
the Company's banking facilities are located in relatively rural areas, placing
an emphasis on personal service. None of the banks are located in urban areas.

Management believes that the economies of the areas in which we serve are
healthy and expanding, but not at a pace that threatens stability. With the
exception of the Blount County, Alabama market, each of the markets shares one
common characteristic: they are separate and distinct economies, but are close
enough to Huntsville, Alabama to share in the economic and employment benefits
of that city. Blount County is close enough to Birmingham, Alabama for the same
circumstances to apply.

Despite the apparent dependency upon the military and aerospace industries, the
Huntsville MSA possesses a significant diversity. Jobs are created in
significant proportion in the manufacture of durable goods, machinery, and
transportation equipment, as well as in retail and services. Agriculture, in
the form of soybeans, hay, corn, cotton, tobacco, dairy and poultry farming
makes up a significant portion of the economy as well. The Huntsville MSA had
an average unemployment rate of 5.2% in 1994, and the counties served by the
Company had unemployment averaging 5.6%, both lower than the average of 6.0%
experienced in the entire state of Alabama. In the Company's markets, the
increase in the per capita income over the last ten years has surpassed the
rate for the state, as has population growth over the last year.  The current
economic prospects in our markets are good, and the Company attempts to assist
those prospects by returning the deposits of our customers to the communities
from which they come in the form of loans.

The Company's net income of $2,704,798 for 1995 was 1 percent more than 1994's
amount of $2,687,954, which was 5 percent more than the $2,572,366 earned
during 1993.  When stated as changes in net income per share, 1995 represented
a 1 percent increase from 1994 compared to a 17 percent decrease in 1994 over
1993. The initial costs of opening the new Tennessee bank subsidiary, resulting
in net losses of $153,193 and $281,099 in 1995 and 1994, respectively, have had
a significant impact on the growth of the Company's net earnings, as did
operating losses of over $400,000 during 1995 in three Community Bank (Alabama)
startups.

The continued growth in Company earnings is a response to management's emphasis
on quality loans and investments with good yields while keeping expenses in
line.  The loss sustained by Community Bank (Tennessee) and the new locations
of Community Bank (Alabama) was fully anticipated and projected prior to
opening.  The expected growth of the Tennessee bank and the new Alabama
locations should become a significant factor to the Company's future earnings.

A stock offering of $9 million commenced in October, 1993 and closed fully sold
in February, 1994. Another offering of approximately $6 million was begun in
1995 and had generated over $3.2 million in new capital as of December 31,
1995.  This additional capital and the retained earnings generated have placed
the Company in the strongest capital position since its inception for future
growth and expansion.


EARNING ASSETS

Average earning assets in 1995 increased 18 percent over 1994 primarily as a
result of increases in the loan portfolio.  The mix of average earning assets
shifted toward the loan portfolio during 1995 as loans averaged 75 percent of
the total for 1995, up from 70 percent during 1994.  As a percentage of total
average earning assets, investments securities averaged 22 percent and other
earning asset categories averaged 3 percent for 1995.  In the previous year,
the comparable mix was 28 percent in investment securities and 2 percent in the
other earning asset categories.  The increased volume in earning assets
contributed to the higher net interest income reported by the Company.  Average
earning assets for 1994 increased 19 percent over 1993.

Average loans increased 25 percent in 1995 with much of the increase
concentrated in the real estate financing areas.  Total loans outstanding at
year-end were up 15 percent over the previous year-end level.  Real
estate-mortgage loans increased 13 percent and consumer loans increased 27
percent from year-end 1994 to year-end 1993.  Commercial, financial and
agricultural loans, which made up 19 percent of the total loans, decreased 5
percent when compared to the previous year.  Real estate-construction loans
increased 42 percent but had little effect due to representing only 2 percent
of total loans.

Total loans at year-end 1994 grew 36 percent over 1993 and average loans grew
27 percent over the same period.

The Company has intentionally avoided the growing national market in loans to
finance leveraged buy-outs, participating in no nationally syndicated leveraged
buy-out loans.  Concurrently, it has avoided exposure to lesser developed
country ("LDC") debt, having no LDC loans in its portfolio.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

The composition of the Company's investment securities portfolio reflects the
Company's investment strategy of maximizing portfolio yields subject to risk
and liquidity considerations.  The primary objectives of the Company's
investment strategy are to maintain an appropriate level of liquidity and
provide a tool to assist in controlling the Company's interest rate position
while at the same time producing adequate levels of interest income.  For
securities classified as investment securities, it is the intention to hold
such securities for the foreseeable future. On January 1, 1994, the Company
transferred selected securities to an available for sale category to
appropriately reflect the nature of the Company's holdings that are available
for sale should liquidity needs dictate, and on December 1, 1995, the entire
portfolio was classified as available for sale.  Management of the maturity of
the portfolio is necessary to provide liquidity and to control interest rate
risk.  During 1995 gross investment securities sales were $8.0 million and
maturities were $12.7 million, representing 12.3 percent and 19.5 percent,
respectively, of the average portfolio for the year. Gains associated with the
sales totaled $265,939, accounting for 7.2 percent of noninterest income.
Gross unrealized gains in the portfolio amounted to $1.4 million at year end
1995 and unrealized losses amounted to $158 thousand.  Average investment
securities decreased 7.7 percent from 1994.

Mortgage-backed securities have varying degrees of risk of impairment of
principal, as opposed to U.S. Treasury and U.S.  government agency obligations,
which are considered to contain virtually no default or prepayment risk.
Impairment risk is primarily associated with accelerated prepayments,
particularly with respect to longer maturities purchased at a premium and
interest-only strip securities. The Company's mortgage-backed security
portfolio as of December 31, 1995 or 1994 contains no interest-only strips and
the amount of unamortized premium on mortgage-backed securities is only
$159,115. The recoverability of the Company's investment in mortgage-backed
securities is reviewed periodically, and if necessary, appropriate adjustments
would be made to income for impaired values.

The carrying amount of investment securities at the end of each of the last
three years is set forth in the following table.

Average Federal funds sold increased 282.8 percent, reflecting the increased
cash available from deposit growth.  During 1994, average Federal Funds
decreased 62.4 percent from 1993 levels.  As a percentage of average earning
assets, these funds represented 2.6 percent for 1995 compared to .8 percent for
1994.

The average balance of interest-bearing deposits with other banks decreased
17.4 percent from 1994 to 1995. The average balance from 1993 to 1994 increased
75.6 percent.  Total average earning assets as compared to total average assets
for 1995 and 1994 were 90.8 and 91.7 percent, respectively.

There has been no significant impact on the Company's financial statements as a
result of the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
119, Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of
Financial Instruments.

DEPOSITS AND BORROWED FUNDS

The Company's primary source of funds is derived from its deposits. Continued
enhancement of existing products and emphasis upon better customer service
fuels the growth in the deposit base.  Emphasis has been placed upon attracting
consumer deposits. It is the Company's intent to expand its consumer base in
order to continue to fund asset growth.

The portion of the Company's average liabilities represented by
interest-bearing deposits increased in both 1995 and 1994 by 21.1 percent and
15.0 percent, respectively.  During the same periods, average
noninterest-bearing deposits increased 8.3 percent and 21.7 percent,
respectively.  Customer confidence and satisfaction is evidenced by the
increase in total average deposits of 19.4 percent in 1995 and 15.8 percent in
1994.  The largest dollar increase was in the time deposits category.

Average interest-bearing demand deposits rose 1.9 percent while average savings
deposits decreased 6.3 percent, and average time deposits increased 37.6
percent. The two categories of lowest cost deposits comprised the following
percentages of total deposits during 1995 and 1994, respectively:  average
noninterest-bearing demand deposits - 11.7 percent and 13.0 percent; and
average interest-bearing demand deposits - 15.9 percent and 18.7 percent.  Of
total time deposits, approximately 24.2 percent were large denomination
certificates of deposit.  The maturities of the time certificates of deposit
and other time deposits of $100,000 or more issued by the Company at December
31, 1995 are summarized in the table below.

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

Liquidity is defined as the ability of a company to convert assets into cash or
cash equivalents without significant loss.  Liquidity management involves
maintaining the Company's ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements
of the subsidiary Banks' customers, whether they are depositors wishing to
withdraw funds or borrowers requiring funds to meet their credit needs. Without
proper liquidity management, the Company would not be able to perform the
primary function of a financial intermediary and would, therefore, not be able
to meet the production and growth needs of the communities it serves.

The primary function of assets and liabilities management is not only to assure
adequate liquidity in order for the Company to meet the needs of its customer
base, but to maintain an appropriate balance between interest-sensitive assets
and interest-sensitive liabilities so that the Company can also meet the
investment requirements of its shareholders.  Daily monitoring of the sources
and uses of funds is necessary to maintain an acceptable cash position that
meets both requirements.  In a banking environment, both assets and liabilities
are considered sources of liquidity funding and both are, therefore, monitored
on a daily basis.

Dividends paid by Community Bank (Alabama) are the primary source of funds
available to the Company for debt repayment, payment of dividends to its
stockholders and other needs.  Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability
of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends,
loans or advances.  The approval of the Alabama Superintendent of Banks is
required to pay dividends in excess of the Bank's earnings retained in the
current year plus retained net profits for the preceding two years.  At
December 31, 1995, Community Bank (Alabama) could have declared dividends of
$6,760,949 without approval of regulatory authorities.

The asset portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through
loan principal repayments or sales of investment and trading account
securities.  Real estate-construction and commercial, financial and
agricultural loans that mature in one year or less equaled approximately $23.6
million or 9.8 percent of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 1995 and
investment securities maturing in one year or less equaled $3.4 million or 4.9
percent of the portfolio.  Other sources of liquidity include short-term
investments such as Federal funds sold and maturing interest-bearing deposits
with other banks.

The liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity through various
customers' interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposit accounts.  Funds

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY MANAGEMENT

Interest rate sensitivity is a function of the repricing characteristics of the
Company's portfolio of assets and liabilities.  These repricing characteristics
are the time frames within which the interest-bearing assets and liabilities
are subject to change in interest rates either at replacement or maturity
during the life of the instruments.  Sensitivity is measured as the difference
between the volume of assets and liabilities in the Company's current portfolio
that are subject to repricing in future time periods.  The differences are
known as interest sensitivity gaps and are usually calculated separately for
segments of time ranging from zero to thirty days, thirty-one to ninety days,
ninety-one days to one year, one to five years, over five years and on a
cumulative basis.  The following tables show interest sensitivity gaps for
these different intervals as of December 31, 1995.

Company's earnings may be adversely affected in the 0-365 day periods where
liabilities will reprice faster than assets.

As seen in the preceding table, for the first 30 days of repricing opportunity
there is an excess of earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities of $11.6
million.  For the first 365 days, interest-bearing liabilities exceed earning
assets by $97.9 million.  During this one year time frame, 74.1 percent of all
interest bearing liabilities will reprice compared to 35.3 percent of all
interest-earning assets.  Changes in the mix of earning assets or supporting
liabilities can either increase or decrease the net interest margin without
affecting interest rate sensitivity.  In addition, the interest rate spread
between an asset and its supporting liability can vary significantly while the
timing of repricing for both the asset and the liability remain the same, thus
impacting net interest income.  It should be noted, therefore, that a matched
interest-sensitive position by itself will not ensure maximum net interest
income.  Management continually evaluates the condition of the economy, the
pattern of market interest rates and other economic data to determine the types
of investments that should be made and at what maturities.  Using this
analysis, management from time to time assumes calculated interest sensitivity
gap positions to maximize net interest income based upon anticipated movements
in the general level of interest rates.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

A strong capital position is vital to the continued profitability of the
Company because it promotes depositor and investor confidence and provides a
solid foundation for future growth of the organization.  The Company has
provided the majority of its capital requirements through the retention of
earnings.

During the last quarter of 1993 and the first quarter of 1994, the Company
offered a maximum of 600,000 shares of its $.10 par value common stock at $15
per share with the anticipation of raising up to $9,000,000 of capital. On
February 11, 1994 the offering was closed upon full subscription of all 600,000
shares offered for sale, raising $8,916,742 of capital after reduction for
offering costs.  During 1995, the Company began a stock offering of up to
312,161 shares of its $.10 par value stock at $20 per share with the
anticipation of raising up to $6.2 million of capital. As of December 31, 1995,
$3,162,405 of capital had been raised, net of offering costs.

The proceeds of both offerings are available for debt reduction, capital
enhancement and future growth and expansion of the Company.

Bank regulatory authorities are placing increased emphasis on the maintenance
of adequate capital. In 1990, new risk-based capital requirements became
effective. The guidelines take into consideration risk factors, as defined by
regulators, associated with various categories of assets, both on and off the
balance sheet.  Under the guidelines, capital strength is measured in two tiers
which are used in conjunction with risk-adjusted assets to determine the risk-
based capital ratios.  The Company's  Tier 1 capital, which consists of common
equity, amounted to $28.3 million at December 31, 1995.  Tier II capital
components include supplemental capital components such as qualifying allowance
for loan losses and qualifying subordinated debt.  Tier I capital plus the Tier
II capital components is referred to as Total Risk-based capital and was $32.3
million at year-end 1995.  The percentage ratios, as calculated under the
guidelines were 12.36 percent and 14.10 percent for Tier I and Total Risk-based
capital, respectively, at year-end 1995.  Both levels currently exceed the
minimum ratios of four percent and eight percent, respectively.

Applying the current guidelines to the preceding two years also resulted in
capital ratios exceeding the minimum requirements.

Other important indicators of capital adequacy in the banking industry are the
leverage ratio and the tangible leverage ratio.  The leverage ratio is defined
as the ratio the Company's shareholders equity, minus goodwill bears to total
assets minus goodwill.  The tangible leverage ratio is defined as the Company's
shareholders equity, minus all intangibles, divided by total assets minus all
intangibles.  The Company's leverage ratios as of December 31, 1995, 1994, and
1993 exceeded the regulatory minimum requirements  which are generally 3% plus
an additional cushion of at least 100-200 basis points depending on risk
profiles and other factors.

The table below illustrates the company's regulatory capital ratios at December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 under the year end 1995 requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the principal source of a financial institution's
earnings stream and represents the difference or spread between interest and
fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on
deposits and borrowed funds.  Fluctuations in interest rates as well as volume
and mix changes in earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities materially
impact net interest income.  All discussions in this section assume a taxable
equivalent basis unless otherwise noted.

Net interest income for 1995 increased 9.7 percent from 1994 and 15.4 percent
in 1994 over 1993. Increased volume in 1995 and 1994 accounted for the majority
of the increase. The schedule on pages 24 and 25 provides the detail changes in
interest income, interest expense and net interest income due to changes in
volume and rate.

Interest income increased 25.1 percent in 1995 and 16.9 percent in 1994.  The
1995 increase is due both to the 17.7 percent increase in average earning
assets and the 53 basis point decline in the average yield on earning assets.
The increase in interest income in 1994 was attributable to the 18.6% increase
in average earning assets. Interest income on loans increased 31.4 percent due
to increased volume.  Interest income on investment securities decreased 3.4
percent from 1994 to 1993 as a result of decreased rates.

Total interest expense increased 44.6 percent due to the effect of a 21.1
percent increase in volume of average interest-bearing liabilities added to the
effect of an 84 basis point increase in the rate paid. The rise of interest on
deposits and short-term borrowings was due to an increase in volume and in
deposit rates.

The trend in net interest income is also evaluated in terms of average rates
using the net interest margin and the interest rate spread.  The net interest
margin, or the net yield on earning assets, is computed by dividing fully
taxable equivalent net interest income by average earning assets.  This ratio
represents the difference between the average yield returned on average earning
assets and the average rate paid for funds used to support those earning
assets, including both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing sources.  The
net interest margin for 1995 was 4.46 percent as compared to 4.79 percent for
1994.

The interest rate spread measures the difference between the average yield on
earning assets and the average rate paid on interest-bearing sources of funds.
The interest rate spread eliminates the impact of noninterest-bearing funds and
gives a more direct perspective to the effect of market interest rate
movements.  The net interest spread for 1995 decreased 31 basis points to 3.90
percent from the 1994 spread of 4.21 percent as the yields on earning assets
increased at a slower pace than the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
See the accompanying schedules entitled "Rate/Volume Variance Analysis" and
"Consolidated Average Balances, Interest Income/Expenses and Yields/Rates" for
more information.

Federal income tax laws applicable to banks during 1995 and 1994 were
substantially different from those applicable in prior years.  Imposition of
the alternative minimum tax, changes in tax rates and the effective elimination
of the tax-exempt status of certain previously tax-exempt income, resulted in
the distortion of the comparability of yields, interest rate spreads and
margins presented on an assumed tax equivalency basis.

1995 was characterized by interest rates which were higher than the last few
years, steadily increasing during the course of the year. Despite the
increasing rate environment, which saw interest-bearing liabilities reprice at
a faster pace than that of interest-earning assets, net interest income
increased by 11.6 percent due to the 17.7 percent increase in average earning
asset volume.

Absolute changes in net interest income from 1994 to 1995 and from 1993 to 1994
were $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, as reported in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.  The net interest margin decreased to 4.21
percent in 1995 from 4.44 percent in 1994 and the interest rate spread
decreased to 3.65 percent for 1995 from 1994's 3.87 percent.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES, NET CHARGE-OFFS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses, which is charged to operations, is based on the
growth of the loan portfolio, the amount of net loan losses incurred and
management's estimation of potential future losses based on an evaluation of
the risk in the loan portfolio.  The provision for loan losses increased 70.5
percent in 1995 compared to an increase of 52.6 percent in 1994, providing an
increase of 42.7 percent in the allowance for loan losses. Net loan charge-offs
increased 23.8 percent in 1995 after increasing 53.3 percent in 1994.  Net
charge-offs on consumer loans amounted to 20.6 percent of total net charge-offs
for 1995 compared to 89.3 percent in 1994 and 31.6 percent in 1993.  Management
believes that the $2,209,000 in the allowance for loan losses at December 31,
1995 (.93% of total net outstanding loans at that date) was adequate to absorb
known risks in the portfolio based upon the Company's historical experience.
No assurance can be given, however, that increased loan volume, adverse
economic conditions or other circumstances will not result in increased losses
in the Company's loan portfolio.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
Company's loans, net of unearned income, and the allowance for loan losses for
the five years ended December 31, 1995.

In assessing adequacy, management relies predominantly on its ongoing review of
the loan portfolio, which is undertaken both to ascertain whether there are
probable losses which must be charged off and to assess the risk
characteristics of the portfolio in the aggregate.  This review takes into
consideration the judgments of the responsible lending officers and senior
management, and also those of bank regulatory agencies that review the loan
portfolio as part of the regular bank examination process.

In evaluating the allowance, management also considers the loan loss experience
of Community Bank, the amount of past due and nonperforming loans, current and
anticipated economic conditions, lender requirements and other appropriate
information.

Management allocated the reserve for loan losses to specific loan classes as
follows:

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Nonperforming assets as of December 31, 1995 increased 16.1 percent from
year-end 1994. Nonperforming loans include loans classified as nonaccrual or
renegotiated and those past due 90 days or more for which interest is still
being accrued. There were no commitments to lend any additional funds on
nonaccrual or renegotiated loans at December 31, 1995.  The following table
summarizes the Company's nonperforming assets for each of the last five years.

The ratio of loan loss allowance to total nonperforming assets increased by
23.1% from 1994 to 1995, to 1.81, significantly higher than the ratios for
1993, 1992 and 1991. Both the ratios of total nonperforming loans to total
loans and total nonperforming assets to total assets decreased by 0.1% from
1994 to 1995, remaining below the levels of the previous three years. Each of
these ratios compare favorably with industry averages, and management is aware
of no factors which should suggest that they are prone to increases in future
periods.

For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the difference between
the gross interest income that would have been recorded in such period if
nonaccruing loans had been current in accordance with their original terms and
the amount of interest income on those loans that was included in such period's
net income was negligible.

There were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans which are
not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans.

It is the general policy of the Company's subsidiary bank to stop accruing
interest income and place the recognition of interest on a cash basis when any
commercial, industrial or real estate loan is past due as to principal or
interest and the ultimate collection of either is in doubt.  Accrual of
interest income on consumer installment loans is suspended when any payment of
principal or interest, or both, is more than ninety days delinquent.  When a
loan is placed on a nonaccrual basis any interest previously accrued but not
collected is reversed against current income unless the collateral for the loan
is sufficient to cover the accrued interest or a guarantor assures payment of
interest.

There has been no significant impact on the Company's financial statements as a
result of the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, or Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
- Income Recognition and Disclosures.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income for 1995 totaled $3,716,891 as compared to $3,188,760 in
1994 and $2,914,015 in 1993.  These amounts are primarily from service charges
on deposit accounts, insurance commissions and fees on services to customers.
Service charge increases are primarily a reflection of the deposit growth of
the Company as it has expanded into new markets, and the result that that
deposit growth has on deposit account service charges and NSF income. The
insurance commissions increased significantly in 1994 as a result of the
activities of the Company's Community Insurance unit in the areas of title
insurance and life insurance, as well as increased credit life insurance
commissions as a result of a significant rise in loan activity. Thet decreased
in 1995 partly due to the shift from credit life insurance to debt cancellation
contracts on a portion of the Company's loan portfolio.

Investment securities gains were unusually high in 1993 as a result of
recoveries made, as a result of a favorable federal Court ruling in the favor
of bondholders, on municipal bonds backed by guaranteed investment contracts
issued by Executive life Insurance Company. Losses had been recognized on these
bonds originally in 1991.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES

Noninterest expenses totaled $12,046,422 in 1995 which represents an 18.2
percent increase over 1994 noninterest expenses, which were 15.5 percent higher
than in 1993.  Salaries and benefits increased $1,332,338 (22.7%) to $7,209,254
in 1995 reflecting the increased personnel costs of completing the staffing of
the new Tennessee and Alabama locations.  Director and committee fees, which
were $241,300 in 1993 and $286,650 in 1994, remained constant in 1995 at
$286,550.  Occupancy expense increased 14.5% to $865,876 in 1995 primarily as
a result of the building and renovation of several bank locations. Furniture
and equipment expense increased 36.3% in 1995 from the 1994 amount of $611,510,
compared to a 20.0% increase in 1994.  Other operating expenses increased 7.1%
to $2,851,522 during 1995.  From 1993 to 1994, other operating expenses
increased 12.4%.

INCOME TAXES

The Company attempts to maximize its net income through active tax planning.
This planning resulted in a provision for income taxes of $430,997 (13.7%) for
1995, on income of $3,135,795.  The tax for 1994 was $913,802 (25.4%) on income
of $3,601,756 and for 1993 was $865,238 (25.2%) on income of $3,437,604.  These
tax amounts and rates are lower than the statutory Federal tax rate of 34
percent primarily due to investments in loans and securities earning interest
income that is exempt from Federal taxation.

The effective tax rate for 1995 decreased primarily due to a decrease in the
deferred tax valuation allowance and the recognition of a deferred tax benefit
from the donation of a capital asset which exceeded its tax basis by
approximately $290,000.  As proportionately fewer available funds are invested
in tax-exempt assets, the effective tax rate will more closely approximate the
statutory Federal tax rate.  In 1995 the effective tax rate was 40 percent of
the statutory Federal tax rate compared to 75 percent in 1994 and 74 percent in
1993.  A more detailed explanation of income tax expense is included in the
accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

A bank's asset and liability structure is substantially different from that of
an industrial company in that virtually all assets and liabilities of a bank
are monetary in nature.  Management believes the impact of inflation on
financial results depends upon the Company's ability to react to changes in
interest rates and by such reaction to reduce the inflationary impact on
performance.  Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction, or
at the same magnitude, as the prices of other goods and services.  As discussed
previously, management seeks to manage the relationship between
interest-sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against wide
interest rate fluctuations, including those resulting from inflation.

Various information shown elsewhere in this Annual Report will assist in the
understanding of how well the Company is positioned to react to changing
interest rates and inflationary trends.  In particular, the summary of net
interest income, the maturity distributions, the composition of the loan and
security portfolios and the data on the interest sensitivity of loans and
deposits should be considered.

                    MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY
                           FOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                           Community Bancshares, Inc.

The management of Community Bancshares, Inc. is responsible for the
preparation, integrity, and objectivity of the consolidated financial
statements, related financial data, and other information in this annual
report. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts based on
management's best estimates and judgement where appropriate. Financial
information appearing throughout this annual report is consistent with the
consolidated financial statements.

In meeting its responsibility both for the integrity and fairness of these
statements and information, management depends on the accounting systems and
related internal accounting controls that are designed to provide reasonable
assurances that (i) transactions are authorized and recorded in accordance with
established procedures, (ii) assets are safeguarded, and (iii) proper and
reliable records are maintained.

The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that the cost
of internal control systems should not exceed the related benefits. As an
integral part of internal control systems, the Company maintains a professional
staff of internal auditors who monitor compliance and assess the effectiveness
of internal control systems and coordinate audit coverage with independent
certified public accountants.

The responsibility of the Company's independent certified public accountants is
limited to an expression of their opinion as to the fairness of the
consolidated financial statements presented. Their opinion is based on an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as described
in their report.

The Board of Directors is responsible for insuring that both management and the
independent certified public accountants fulfill their respective
responsibilities with regard to the consolidated financial statements. The
Audit Committee meets periodically with both management and the independent
certified public accountants to assure that each is carrying out its
responsibilities. The independent certified public accountants have full and
free access to the Audit Committee and Board of Directors and may meet with
them, with and without management being present, to discuss auditing and
financial reporting matters.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT




To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Community Bancshares, Inc.

We have audited the consolidated statements of financial condition of Community
Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Community
Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NON-CASH INVESTING
  AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES:

  Other real estate of $387,958, $350,553 and $330,416 was acquired in 1995,
  1994 and 1993, respectively, through foreclosure.

  Long-term debt was increased and equity was decreased $1,200,000 on January
  1, 1994 to reflect the existence of leveraged, unreleased ESOP shares. Upon
  the pledging of additional shares to obtain additional ESOP debt of $137,918
  on October 2, 1995, long-term debt was increased and equity was decreased
  again. The debt was reduced and shares were released by $171,360 during each
  of the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 as a result of payments made by
  the Company's ESOP.

  Investment securities of $40,504,243 and $39,742,884 were transferred during
  1995 and 1994, respectively, to securities available for sale in accordance
  with the provisions of SFAS 115.

  During 1994, treasury stock in the amount of $2,899,460 was acquired for cash
  and the assumption of a $2,000,000 subordinated capital installment note. All
  of the treasury stock was re-issued during 1995.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                        DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation:  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Community Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the
"Company"), Community Bank (Alabama), Community Bank (Tennessee), Community
Appraisals, Inc. and Community Insurance Corp. collectively, the "Bank".  All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Investments in subsidiaries are carried at the parent company's equity in the
underlying net assets.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans. While
management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future
additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic
conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for losses on
loans. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the
allowances based on their judgements about information available to them at the
time of their examination.

Investments in Securities:  Effective January 1, 1994, the Company and its
subsidiary banks adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No, 115,
Accounting  for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS 115").
This statement, among other things, requires debt and equity securities to be
divided into one of three categories: held to maturity, available for sale, and
trading.

The Company's investments in securities are classified in two categories and
accounted for as follows:

  - Securities Held to Maturity. Bonds, notes and debentures for which the Bank
  has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost,
  adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are
  recognized in interest income using methods which approximate level yields
  over the period to maturity.

  - Securities Available for Sale. Securities available for sale consist of
  bonds, notes, debentures, and certain equity securities not classified as
  securities held to maturity.

The Company and its subsidiaries have no trading securities. Effective December
1, 1995, the Company reclassified all of its investments in securities as
securities available for sale.

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on securities available for
sale are reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders's
equity until realized.

Gains and losses on the sale of securities available for sale are determined
using the specific-identification method.

                  COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

Revenue Recognition:  Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations
based upon the principal amount outstanding, except for interest on certain
consumer loans which is recognized over the term of the loan using a method
which approximates level yields.

Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after
considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the
loan is impaired. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is
reversed from income. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific
impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest
payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan
principal balance. Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only
to the extent of interest payments received.

Allowance for Loan Losses:  The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a
level believed adequate by management to absorb potential loan losses in the
loan portfolio.  Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is
based on an evaluation of the portfolio, past loan loss experience, current
domestic and international economic conditions, volume, growth and composition
of the loan portfolio, and other relevant factors.  Loans deemed uncollectible
are charged to the allowance. Provisions for loan losses and recoveries on
loans previously charged off are added to the allowance.

Loan Fees:  The Company accounts for loan fees and origination costs in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 91, entitled: Accounting for Nonrefundable
Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Direct Costs
of Leases.  The basic requirement of this statement calls for the Company to
treat loan fees, net of direct costs, as an adjustment to the yield of the
related loan over the term of the loan.

Premises and Equipment:  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation.  Expenditures for additions and major improvements
that significantly extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.
The carrying value of assets traded in are used to adjust the carrying values
of the new assets acquired by trade. Assets which are disposed of are removed
from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are recorded in operations.

Depreciation is provided generally by accelerated and straight-line methods
based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

Other Real Estate:  Other real estate comprises properties acquired through a
foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure.  These
properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value based on
appraised value at the date acquired.  Loan losses arising from the acquisition
of such properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses.  An
allowance for losses on other real estate is maintained for subsequent
valuation adjustments on a specific property basis.

Earnings Per Common Share:  Earnings per common share are calculated on the
basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

                  COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES




NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

Income Taxes:  Provisions for income taxes are based on amounts reported in the
statement of income (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on
state and municipal securities) and include deferred taxes on temporary
differences in the recognition of income and expense for tax and financial
statement purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the
financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the
period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be
realized or settled as prescribed in SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
Each subsidiary provides for income taxes on a separate-return basis, and
remits to the Company amounts determined to be currently payable.

Pension and Employee Stock Ownership Plans:  The Company and its subsidiaries
have various employee benefit plans which cover substantially all employees.
Pension expense is determined based on an actuarial valuation.  The Company
contributes amounts to the pension fund sufficient to satisfy funding
requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.  Contributions to
the Employee Stock Ownership Plan are determined by the Board of Directors.

Intangibles: Intangibles consist primarily of legal organizational costs and
core deposits intangible.  Organizational costs are generally amortized over 5
years using the straight-line method.  The core deposits intangible represents
premiums paid on the purchase of deposit liabilities.  The asset is stated at
cost, net of accumulated amortization, which is provided using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life of approximately 25 years.

Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments:  In the ordinary course of business
the Company has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments
consisting of commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit card
arrangements, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit.  Such
financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they become
payable.

The Company also has available as a source of short-term financing the purchase
of federal funds from another commercial bank from an available line of up to
$7,000,000.

Debt Cancellation Contracts: The Company began issuing debt cancellation
contracts on certain of its loan customers as of October 1, 1995. The contract
represents an agreement by the Company to cancel the debt of the borrower upon
said borrower's death. Contracts may not be written on loans in excess of
$15,000 per borrower. The Company charges fees equivalent to that authorized by
the state banking authorities, and, after the establishment of an original
reserve account of $150,000, sets aside 30% of all realized fees as a reserve
for potential claims. The reserve for debt cancellation contracts totaled
$183,984 at December 31, 1995.

Cash Flow Information:  For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the
Company considers cash, due from banks and federal funds sold as cash and cash
equivalents.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

Effect of New Financial Accounting Standards: The Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. SFAS No. 114, as amended
by SFAS No. 118, became effective January 1, 1995 and requires that impaired
loans that are within the scope of this Statement be measured based on the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate, or, as a practical expedient, at the loans observable market
price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not have a material effect on financial
position and results of operations.


NOTE 2 - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANK ACCOUNTS

The subsidiary banks are required to maintain average reserve balances either
in vault cash or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount
of those reserves required at December 31, 1995 was approximately $3,784,000.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company applied the accounting and reporting
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS
115"), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. This
pronouncement requires that all investments in debt securities be classified as
either HELD TO MATURITY SECURITIES, which are reported at amortized cost;
TRADING SECURITIES, which are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses included in earnings; or AVAILABLE FOR SALE SECURITIES, which are
reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings
and reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity (net of deferred
tax effect).

The Company has no trading securities. During 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued a report clarifying several provisions of SFAS 115. The
report authorized entities to "reassess the appropriateness of the
classifications of all securities" that were held when the current rule took
effect, without risking the classification of other securities, for a limited
period of time from November 15, 1995 to December 31, 1995.  Effective December
1, 1995, the Company transferred all securities from its held to maturity
category to its available for sale category, a change affecting securities with
a total amortized cost of $40,504,243 and a fair value at the time of the
transfer of $40,470,589.

At December 31, 1995, the Company's available-for-sale securities reflected net
unrealized gains of $1,243,146, which resulted in an increase in stockholders'
equity of $ 745,887, net of deferred tax expense, as opposed to net unrealized
losses of $1,098,484 and a resultant decrease in stockholders' equity of
$659,091, net of deferred tax benefit, at December 31, 1994.  Had SFAS 115 been

As of December 31, 1995, there were no loans which the Bank had specifically
classified as impaired. Other nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1995 and 1994
amounted to approximately $491,000 and $422,000, respectively. For the year
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 the difference between gross interest income
that would have been recorded in such period if nonaccruing loans had been
current in accordance with their original terms and the amount of interest
income on those loans that was included in such period's net income was
negligible.

The Bank has no commitments to loan additional funds to the borrowers of
nonaccrual loans.

NOTE 8 - LONG TERM DEBT

At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had notes payable totaling
$7,919,873, and $8,712,953, respectively.

On December 17, 1992, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a regional
bank for amounts up to $6,500,000. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the amounts
outstanding were 4,980,512 and $5,692,014, respectively, due December 17,
2002, bearing interest at a floating prime, collateralized by 100% of the
common stock of the subsidiary banks.  The note agreement contains provisions
which limit the Company's right to transfer or issue shares of subsidiary
banks' stock.  Principal payments of $58,681 are due monthly; however, the
Company has the option of postponing up to twenty-four monthly principal
payments, provided that no more than six consecutively scheduled installments
are deferred.

On November 3, 1993 the Company's ESOP (Note 16) borrowed $1,200,000 for the
acquisition of Company common stock. On October 2, 1995, the $885,840 balance
remaining on this debt was refinanced and is due December 2, 2000, bearing
interest at a floating rate, collateralized by the shares of the Company's
common stock purchased by the ESOP. The Company has guaranteed this debt;
accounting and reporting guidelines mandate that  the debt be  recognized on
the Company's statement of condition, with an offsetting charge against equity.
As principal payments are made by the ESOP, the debt and offsetting charge
against equity are reduced. Principal payments of $14,280 are due monthly, at
which time the lender releases a proportionate amount of the stock held as
collateral to the ESOP for allocation to its participants. The outstanding
balance of this note was $857,280 at December 31, 1995.

Also on October 2, 1995, the ESOP purchased 7,455 additional shares of the
Company's stock with $137,918 borrowed from a regional bank. This note is
payable on or before March 1, 1996, is accruing interest at a floating rate,
and is collateralized by the 7,455 shares of stock acquired with its proceeds.
Also guaranteed by the Company, it too is recognized on the Company's statement
of condition, with an offsetting charge against equity.

On October 4, 1994, the Company entered into a twenty year, subordinated
installment capital note due October 1, 2014 for the purchase of treasury
stock. Monthly principal and interest payments of $15,506 are made on the note,
which bears interest at the fixed rate of 7%. The Company maintains the right
to prepay the note at its sole discretion. The balance of the note was
$1,944,163 at December 31, 1995.

Maturities of long-term debt following December 31, 1995 are as follows:

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED

Tax effects of securities transactions resulted in an increase in income taxes
for 1995, 1994 and 1993 of $106,376, $8,278 and $188,295, respectively.

The following is a reconciliation of the difference in the effective tax rate
and the federal statutory rate:

NOTE 11 - PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT

A prior period adjustment was recorded during 1995 to correct an error made in
the calculation of income taxes for the year ended December 31, 1994. Community
Bank (Tennessee) was denied eligibility for an historic rehabilitation tax
credit which resulted in an increase of income tax expense for the year ended
December 31, 1994 of $129,092, and a decrease in net earnings of the same
amount. Earnings per share were reduced from $1.67, as originally reported, to
$1.60.

NOTE 12 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

On June 1, 1993 the Board of Directors approved a 3-for-1 stock split of the
Company's common stock.  This split was effected in the form of a stock
dividend and resulted in the issuance of 802,548 additional shares.

Effective October 1, 1993, the Company offered a maximum of 600,000 shares of
its $.10 par value common stock at $15 per share with the anticipation of
raising up to $9,000,000 of capital.  As of December 31, 1993, 535,999 shares
had been issued, raising $7,959,139 of capital after reduction of offering
costs.  On February 11, 1994 the offering was closed upon full subscription of
all shares offered for sale, raising an additional $957,603 of capital after
offering costs.

                  COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES




NOTE 12 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY - CONTINUED

On October 4, 1994, the Company purchased 115,978 shares of Common Stock,
including 7,144.384 shares vested under the ESOP, from Jeffrey K. Cornelius, a
former director and officer of the Company, at a price per share of
approximately $25. The Company paid Mr. Cornelius $899,460 in cash and issued
to him a subordinated promissory note in the original amount of $2,000,000.
Such note bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate of 7.0%
per annum, is payable in 240 equal monthly installments of principal and
interest, and may be repaid in whole or in part at any time without penalty. In
addition, the Company conveyed to Mr. Cornelius a 1994 automobile valued at
approximately $25,200, free of any liens or encumbrances, and a life insurance
policy, which had no cash surrender value, in the amount of $100,000, the
premiums for which were thereafter assumed by Mr. Cornelius. The price per
share paid to Mr. Cornelius by the Company exceeded $18.50 per share, the
valuation provided to the Company at December 31, 1994 from an independent
appraisal for the purposes of shares held by the ESOP, and $18.00 per share,
the next highest trading price per share reported to the Company during 1994.
The $18.50 per share valuation was expressly limited by the independent
appraiser for purposes of valuing the Common Stock to be utilized for the ESOP.
The shares purchased from Mr. Cornelius are being offered hereby at a price per
share of $20.00, which is $5 per share less than the amount paid by the Company
to Mr. Cornelius for such shares.

Management believes that the price per share paid by the Company for Mr.
Cornelius' shares represented the fair value of such shares at the date of the
purchase. The 115,978.384 shares of Common Stock acquired by the Company from
Mr. Cornelius comprised approximately 6.68% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock, which represented the third largest block of Common Stock
outstanding. Management determined that the acquisition of such block of shares
by a person with a view toward exerting control or substantial influence with
respect to the management, policies and operations of the Company could have
proved detrimental to the efficiency and profitability of the Company and,
therefore, was not in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company. In
addition, management determined that Mr. Cornelius would likely have attempted
to sell his shares of Common Stock to persons in the Company's market area, and
that such an attempt by Mr. Cornelius, who had a long and prominent association
with the Company, may have negatively impacted the Company's financial
condition and results of operations. There is no active trading market for the
Common Stock, and, accordingly, there is a limited amount of information
available regarding the market value of the Common Stock. No other trades of
Common Stock were reported to the Company during the fourth quarter of 1994.
Management did not obtain any independent advice, appraisal or other evidence
to evaluate whether the price per share paid to Mr. Cornelius was economically
justified. Such purchase price was determined based upon management's
subjective determination of the fair value of such shares. Management was not
aware of other bona fide offers to purchase Mr. Cornelius' shares of Common
Stock.

In January of 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend
of $.50 per share to shareholders of record as of January 15, 1995, and another
dividend of $.50 per share was declared in January of 1996 to shareholders of
record as of January 12, 1996. The payment of dividends on common stock is
subject to the prior payment of principal and interest on the Company's
long-term debt, maintenance of sufficient earnings and capital of the
subsidiaries and to regulatory restrictions. (See Notes 8 and 17).

NOTE 12 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY - CONTINUED

Also on January 9, 1995, the Board of Directors passed a resolution authorizing
the preparation of a Registration Statement for the proposed sale of 312,161
shares of the Company's $.10 par value common stock, consisting of the
Company's 115,978 shares of treasury stock and 196,183 newly issued shares. As
of December 31, 1995, $3,162,405 of additional capital had been generated by
the sale. If the stock sale is fully subscribed, it would create approximately
$3,000,000 of additional capital for the Company in 1996.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company offers a variety of financial
products to its customers to aid them in meeting their requirements for
liquidity, credit enhancement, and interest rate protection.  Generally
accepted accounting principles recognize these transactions as contingent
liabilities and, accordingly, they are not reflected in the accompanying
financial statements.  Commitments to extend credit, credit card arrangements,
commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit all include
exposure to some credit loss in the event of nonperformance of the customer.
The Company's credit policies and procedures for credit commitments and
financial guarantees are the same as those for extension of credit that are
recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition.  Because these
instruments have fixed maturity dates, and because many of them expire without
being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk
to the Company.  The Company has not been required to perform on any financial
guarantees nor has it incurred any losses on its commitments in either 1995 or
1994.  Following is a discussion of these commitments:

Standby Letters of Credit:  These agreements are used by the Company's
customers as a means of improving their credit standings in their dealings with
others.  Under these agreements, the Company agrees to honor certain financial
commitments in the event that its customers are unable to do so.  As of
December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company has issued standby letters of credit of
approximately $599,000 and $642,000, respectively.

Management conducts regular reviews of these instruments on an individual
customer basis, and the results are considered in assessing the adequacy of the
Company's allowance for loan losses.  Management does not anticipate any
material losses as a result of these letters of credit.

Loan Commitments:  As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had
commitments outstanding to extend credit totaling approximately $5,118,000 and
$4,191,000, respectively.  These commitments generally require the customers to
maintain certain credit standards.  Management does not anticipate any material
losses as a result of these commitments.

Litigation:  The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to litigation and
claims arising in the normal course of business.  Management, after
consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising
from such litigation and claims are not material to the consolidated financial
statements.

                  COMMUNITY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES




NOTE 14 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT

All of the Company's loans, commitments and standby letters of credit have been
granted to customers in the Company's market area.  Substantially all such
customers are depositors of the Company.  Investments in state and municipal
securities also involve governmental entities within the Company's market area.
The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 4.  The
commitments to extend credit relate primarily to consumer cash lines which
represented approximately $2,827,000 and $2,395,000 of the unused commitment
balances at December 31, 1995 and 1994.  All remaining commitments consist
primarily of unused real estate draw lines.

The Company maintains its cash accounts at various commercial banks in Alabama.
The total cash balances are insured by the FDIC up to $100,000.  Total
uninsured balances held at other commercial banks amounted to $3,337,127 and
$4,169,956, at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.



NOTE 15 - PENSION PLAN

The Company has a defined benefit plan that provides retirement and disability
benefits for substantially all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries,
and death benefits for their beneficiaries.  Employees who are expected to work
1,000 hours in any calendar year become participants in the Pension Plan on
January 1 of each year.  All employees are eligible to become participants in
the Pension Plan regardless of age on the date they begin employment and the
normal retirement age is the later of age 65 or five years after the date of
employment.  In addition, participants in the Pension Plan accrue benefits
after they have attained the normal retirement age.

Benefits under the Pension Plan depend upon a participant's years of credited
service with the Company or any of its subsidiaries and his average monthly
earnings for the five year period prior to the retirement or termination of
employment.  A participant is 20% vested in his accrued benefits after
completion of two years of service.  Vesting increases 20% per year for the
next four years with the participant becoming fully vested upon completion of
six years of service.  An employee who completes ten years of service and
attains age fifty-five is eligible for early retirement benefits.  Plan assets
consist primarily of corporate stocks and bonds.

The Company contributes amounts to the pension funds sufficient to satisfy
funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

NOTE 15 - PENSION PLAN - CONTINUED

Effective January 1, 1995, the Company established a nonqualified benefit plan
called the Community Bancshares Benefit Restoration Plan, the purpose of which
is to provide the amount of the benefit which would otherwise be paid under the
Company's pension plan but which cannot be paid under that plan due to the
limitations imposed by the Internal revenue Code of 1987. The costs of this
plan are included with those of the regular pension plan in the schedules
below.

Net pension cost for 1995, 1994 and 1993 is composed of the following:

NOTE 16 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

The Company adopted an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") effective as
of January 1, 1985, which enables eligible employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries to own Company common stock.  Employees who work 1,000 hours in
any consecutive twelve month period become participants in the ESOP on December
31 of that year, and remain eligible in every subsequent year in which 1,000
hours of work are completed.  Employer contributions, which are made at the
discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, are allocated to eligible
participants in proportion to their eligible pay, which equals W-2 wages plus
pre-tax reductions for the Company's cafeteria plan.  The Internal Revenue
Service imposes a limit ($150,000 in 1994) on the maximum amount of eligible
pay under the plan.

On November 3, 1993, the ESOP's Trustees executed a promissory note of
$1,200,000 in order to purchase common stock from the Company's public offering
of new common stock.  The note was originally secured by 80,000 shares of
purchased stock.  This note was refinanced on October 2, 1995. The shares
securing the note are released proratably by the lender as monthly payments of
principal and interest are made.  Also on October 2, 1995, the ESOP acquired
7,455 additional shares with the proceeds of a second promissory note,
collateralized by the acquired shares.  Both notes are guaranteed by the
Company. As of December 31, 1995, there were 64,607 unreleased shares with a
fair value of approximately $1,290,000.  These shares are subtracted from
outstanding shares for earnings per share calculations.

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company applied the accounting and reporting
requirements of Statement of Position No.  93-6, Employers' Accounting for
Employee Stock Ownership Plans ("SOP 93-6").  Under the provisions of SOP 93-6,
the employer must recognize the indebtness of its sponsored ESOP on its
financial statement and reduce its stockholder's equity for shares of stock
which have not been released by a lender to the ESOP for allocation to its
participating employees.  The portion of payments  made by the Company to the
ESOP on behalf of its participating employees which are used to pay interest on
the ESOP debt ($83,947 in 1995) is classified as interest expense on the
Company's income statement.

Dividends paid on released ESOP shares are credited to the accounts of the
participants to whom the shares are allocated.  Dividends on unreleased shares
are treated as other income of the ESOP.

At December 31, 1995, the Company's financial statements reflect long term and
a corresponding contra-equity account, as a result of the ESOP debt, of
$995,198.

Company contributions to the ESOP amounted to $254,687, $276,991 and $236,312,
for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

NOTE 17 - RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSIDIARY DIVIDENDS, LOANS OR ADVANCES

Dividends paid by Community Bank (Alabama) are the primary source of funds
available to the Company for debt repayment, payment of dividends to its
stockholders and other needs.  Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability
of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends,
loans or advances.  The approval of the Superintendent of Banks is required to
pay dividends in excess of the Bank's earnings retained in the current year
plus retained net profits for the preceding two years.  At December 31, 1995,
Community Bank (Alabama) could have declared dividends of $6,760,949 without
approval of regulatory authorities.


NOTE 18 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Loans:  Certain directors, executive officers and principal shareholders,
including their immediate families and associates were loan customers of the
subsidiary bank during 1995 and 1994.  Such loans are made in the ordinary
course of business at normal credit terms, including interest rates and
collateral and do not represent more than a normal risk of collection.  Total
loans to these persons at December 31, 1995 and 1994, amounted to $9,625,231
and $6,364,448, respectively.  An analysis of activity during 1995 in loans to
related parties resulted in additions of $6,503,097 representing new loans,
reductions of $3,807,520, representing payments, and an increase of $565,206
representing a change in the composition of related parties.

Leases:  Community Bank (Alabama) had lease agreements which expired in August
1995 with Com-Pac, a partnership composed of Kennon R. Patterson, Sr.and Bishop
K. Walker, Jr., both of whom are directors and officers of the Company, for the
lease of land and banking facilities.  Lease expense on these properties
amounted to $85,968, $143,352 and $142,552 for the years ended December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Upon termination of the lease agreements,
Community Bank (Alabama) purchased the properties at the expiration of the
leases for a total of $1,093,106.

Maintenance Contract:  Community Bank (Alabama) has a service contract with
Royal Acres, a partnership composed of Kennon R. Patterson, Sr. and Bishop K.
Walker, Jr., both of whom are directors and officers of the Company, for the
upkeep and maintenance of the external grounds of the Bank's seventeen
locations.  Maintenance expense under this contract amounted to $80,347 for the
year ended December 31, 1995, a monthly average of $394 per location. This
expense was  $60,000 for the each of the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993.

Interior Design:  Community Bank (Alabama) and Community Bank (Tennessee) paid
Heritage Interiors, a decorating and design firm owned and operated by the wife
of Kennon R. Patterson, Sr., a director and officer of the Company, for the
interior design, furniture, appliances, fixtures, carpets, wallcoverings,
drapes, and accessories for Community Bank (Alabama) new bank facilities at
Elkmont and Snead; appraisal and marketing offices at Snead; headquarters annex
and other facilities and Community Bank (Tennessee) banking facilities at
Pulaski (Downtown) and Pulaski (West College) totalling $203,649 in 1995.
Payments for similar services totaled $236,649 in 1994.

The purchases were made at a cost more favorable than could be obtained from
unrelated parties.

NOTE 20 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On November 15, 1993, the Company capitalized a new Tennessee bank subsidiary
in Pulaski, Tennessee and commenced operations.  The new subsidiary bank,
Community Bank (Tennessee), was capitalized with $3,500,000 and is wholly owned
by the Company.  All of the Tennessee bank's stock is pledged as security
against a note agreement. (See Note 8)

On  January 12, 1996, Community Bank (Alabama) opened a branch bank in
Haleyville, Alabama as a result of the acquisition of certain assets and the
assumption of certain liabilities from Compass Bank. The Bank assumed
liabilities of $31.3 million in exchange for assets of $12.4 million, a premium
of $2.2 million, and cash of $16.7 million.  Community Bank (Alabama) has
executed a definitive agreement with Compass Bank for a similar acquisition of
approximately $11 million in Uniontown, Alabama. The second transaction should
be consummated in the first half of 1996.

In late 1995, the Company incorporated 1st Community Credit Corporation as a
subsidiary of Community Bank (Alabama).  This subsidiary, not yet active as of
December 31, 1995, was created for the purpose of establishing  finance offices
in selected north Alabama and south central Tennessee communities. Its first
office is expected to be established in the first half of 1996.

NOTE 21 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:

Cash and Short-Term Investments:  For those short-term instruments, the
carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities:  For securities and marketable equity securities held
for investment purposes, fair values are based on quoted market prices or
dealer quotes.  For other securities held as investments, fair value equals
quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available,
fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loan Receivables:  For certain homogeneous categories of loans, such as some
residential mortgages, credit card receivables, and other consumer loans, fair
value is estimated using the quoted market prices for securities backed by
similar loans, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics.  The fair
value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows
using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with
similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

Deposit Liabilities:  The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and
certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting
date.  The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated
using the rates currently offered for deposit of similar remaining maturities.

Long-term Debt:  Rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar
terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value of existing
debt.

Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit, and Financial
Guarantees Written:  The fair value of commitments and letters of credit is
estimated to be approximately the same as the notional amount of the related
commitment.

SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NON-CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES:

  Long-term debt was increased and equity was decreased $1,200,000 on January
  1, 1994 to reflect the existence of leveraged, unreleased ESOP shares. Upon 
  the pledging of additional shares to obtain additional ESOP debt of $137,918
  in 1995, long-term debt was increased and equity was decreased again. The 
  debt was reduced and shares were released by $171,360 during each of the 
  years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 as a result of payments made by the 
  Company's ESOP.


  During 1994, treasury stock in the amount of $2,899,460 was acquired for cash
  and the assumption of a $2,000,000 subordinated capital installment note. All
  of the treasury stock was re-issued during 1995.
