At September 30, 2000, the recorded investment in loans that have been
identified as impaired loans, in accordance with Statement 114 and which
includes nonaccrual, restructured and certain watch list loans, totaled $758.
Of this amount $248 related to loans with no valuation allowance, and $510

(5)    Time Deposits and Other Deposits

Included in time deposits are certificates of deposit and other time deposits of
$100 or more in the aggregate amount of $20,469 at September 30, 2000.

(6)    Net Income Per Share

Net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period.  Net income per share-assuming dilution reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or vested into common stock or resulted in the
issuance of common stock that they shared in the earnings of the entity.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the net
income per share and net income per share - assuming dilution computations for
the periods indicated:

(7)   Reorganization

On May 31, 2000, shareholders approved the proposed reorganization of the Bank
into a holding company structure.  On September 11, 2000, this proposed
reorganization was completed with 1,535,986 shares of Salem Bank and Trust, N.A.
common stock being exchanged one-for-one for 1,535,986 shares of Salem Community
Bankshares, Inc. common stock.  As a result of this reorganization, the Bank
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Salem Community Bankshares, Inc.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data and ratios)

The following is a discussion of the factors which significantly affected the
financial condition and results of operations of Salem Community Banshares, Inc.
and subsidiary at September 30, 2000 and for the nine-month and three-month
periods ended September 30, 2000.  This discussion should be read in conjunction
with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes presented herein,
and with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

On May 31, 2000, shareholders approved the proposed reoganization of the Bank
into a holding company structure.  On September 11, 2000, this proposed
reorganization was completed with 1,535,986 shares of Salem Bank and Trust, N.A.
common stock being exchanged one-for-one for 1,535,986 shares of Salem Community
Bankshares, Inc. common stock.  As a result of this reorganization, the Bank
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Salem Community Bankshares, Inc.

BALANCE SHEET

Total assets of the Company at September 30, 2000 exceeded total assets at
December 31, 1999 by $27,971 or 15.5 percent.  This increase was due primarily
to an increase of $8,610 in federal funds sold and securities purchased under
resale agreements, the source of which were the uninvested portion of the notes
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, and loan portfolio growth.   Net
loans outstanding at September 30, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999 showed an
increase of $19,050, or 16.5 percent, and resulted from increased customer
demand, especially in indirect dealer loan products.

Total deposits increased by $20,187, or 12.9 percent, due mostly to increases in
interest-bearing demand deposits and time deposits.  Interest-bearing demand
deposits increased $6,554, or 17.8 percent and time deposits increased $11,890,
or 12.7 percent, due to the Company offering more attractive depository products
than area competition.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES,  NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND IMPAIRED LOANS

The provision for loan losses was $196 for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 compared to $181 for the same period in 1999, an increase of $15.  The
provision for loan losses was $52 for the three months ended September 30, 2000
compared to $45 for the same period in 1999, an increase of $7.  The Company's
considers the allowance to be adequate based on the current loan portfolio.  An
ongoing evaluation of the allowance for loan losses is made to ensure that the
allowance for loan losses is at a sufficient level to absorb estimated losses in
the Bank's loan portfolio.  As of September 30, 2000, the ratio of the allowance
for loan losses to loans, net of unearned income, was 1.08 percent.  While
management uses available information to recognize loan losses, future additions
to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions.  In
addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses.  The agencies may
require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their
judgments about information available at the time of their examination.


                                       13
<PAGE>

Foreclosed properties decreased to $101 at September 30, 2000 from $216 at
December 31, 1999.  This decrease resulted from the sale of properties and
increased efforts by management to minimize the amount of such properties held.
There were also $33 in net write-downs and losses on these properties for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, although a $1 net gain was recognized
during the third quarter of 2000.

Nonaccrual loans were $687 and $810 at September 30, 2000 and at December 31,
1999, respectively.  Loans are generally placed in nonaccrual status when the
collection of principal and interest is 90 days or more past due, unless the
obligation is both well-secured and in the process of collection.  Impaired
loans approximated $758 at September 30, 2000 and $1,032 at December 31, 1999.

See note 4 to the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements for a
summary of the changes in the Company's allowance for loan losses and a summary
of nonperforming assets.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Stockholders' equity increased by $1,896, or 10.6 percent, as of September 30,
2000 to $19,733 compared to stockholders' equity of $17,837 at December 31,
1999.  The increase was primarily due to net earnings which were retained and
the exercise of 9,919 stock options by employees and directors during the third
quarter of 2000.  Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2000 has been reduced by
$267 which represents the excess  of  amortized  costs over the fair value of
available-for-sale securities, net of taxes, held by the Company.  This sole
component of comprehensive income has been recorded as a separate component of
stockholders' equity and will continue to be subject to change in future periods
due to fluctuations in market value, sales, purchases, maturities and calls of
securities classified as available-for-sale.

The Bank is in compliance with minimum Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 4
percent and 8 percent, respectively, as of September 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999.  The Bank's leverage ratios at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999
were also in excess of the 4 percent minimum.

There are no material commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30,
2000.  In addition, there are no expected material changes in the mix or
relative cost of capital resources.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The principal source of earnings for the Company is net interest income.  Net
interest income is the net amount of interest earned on the Company's interest-
bearing assets less the amount of interest paid on the Company's deposits and
other interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income before the provision
for loan losses was $5,990 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared
with $5,352 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $638 or
11.9 percent.  Net interest income before the provision for loan losses was
$2,061 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared with $1,868 for
the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $193 or 10.3 percent.
Total interest income increased from $10,190 for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 to $12,038 for the same period in 2000, an 18.1 percent increase.  This
increase was mostly due to increased interest and fees on loans which resulted
from a larger loan portfolio.  Interest expense increased from $4,838 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 to $6,048 for the same period in 2000, a
25.0 percent increase.  Interest expense increased from $1,703 for three months
ended September 30, 1999 to $2,309 for the same period in 2000, a 35.6 percent
increase.  This increase in interest expense was due mainly to an increase in
interest-bearing demand and time deposits.


                                       14
<PAGE>

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income consists of earnings generated primarily from service charges
on deposit accounts, securities gains and other service charges, commissions and
fees.  The Company's noninterest income increased from $602 for the first nine
months in 1999 to $688 for the same period in 2000, an increase of 14.3 percent.
The Company's noninterest income increased from $197 for the third quarter in
1999 to $237 for the same period in 2000, an increase of 20.3 percent.  This
trend resulted from increases in service charges on deposit accounts and other
services charges and fees which resulted from a greater volume of deposits and
fewer such fees and charges being waived by management.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

The Company's noninterest expense increased from $3,337 for the first nine
months in 1999 to $3,708 or 11.1 percent for the same period in 2000.  The
Company's noninterest expense increased from $1,190 for the third  quarter in
1999 to $1,268 or 6.6 percent for the same period in 2000.   The overall
increase was due primarily to increase in salaries and employee benefits along
with increases in occupancy expense and other expenses.  Such increases resulted
primarily from the second quarter 2000 opening of the Brandon Oaks branch as
well as certain renovations being made to Company property.

INCOME TAXES

The reported income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was
$908 (effective tax rate of 32.7 percent) compared to $770 (effective tax rate
of 31.6 percent) for the same period in 1999.  The reported income tax expense
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $328 (effective tax rate of
33.5 percent) compared to $264 (effective tax rate of 31.8 percent) for the same
period in 1999.  This increase in income tax expense was due to an increase in
net taxable income and a decrease in interest on securities-nontaxable.

NET INCOME

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $1,866 compared to
$1,666 for the same period in 1999.  This increase of $200, or 12.0 percent, was
due primarily to the increase in net interest income.  The Company achieved a
 .90 percent return on average assets, or 1.20 percent annualized, during the
first nine months of 2000, compared to a .92 percent, or 1.23 percent
annualized, return on average assets for  the same period in 1999.   Net income
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $650 compared to $566 for the
same period in 1999.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity is the ability to generate adequate cash flow to meet financial
commitments and to fund customers' demands for funds, either in terms of loan
requests or deposit withdrawals.  Liquidity may be provided by both assets and
liabilities.  Asset liquidity is derived from sources such as readily marketable
investments, principal and interest payments on loans, and cash and due from
banks.  Liability liquidity is provided by the core deposit growth from the
Company's strong, stable customer base.  Management believes the liquidity of
the Company remains adequate, as sufficient assets are maintained on a short-
term basis, as well as certain debt alternatives, to meet the liquidity demands
anticipated.  Secondary sources of funds are also available should the need
arise.  Management is not aware of any trends, commitments or events that will
result in or that are reasonably likely to result in a material increase or
decrease in liquidity.



                                       15
<PAGE>

Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,164 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 decreased $1,997 from the same period in 1999 and was
primarily attributable to a decrease in the mortgage loans held for sale
category which fluctuates based upon loan demand and the timing of loan sales in
the secondary market.  Net cash flows provided by financing activities for the
nine months ended

September 30, 2000 increased $12,125 from the same period in 1999 due to
utilization of $5,900 in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and increased
deposits.  Cash flows used in investing activities were used primarily to fund
the net increase in loans of $19,408 and the purchase of federal funds sold of
$8,610 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

GENERAL
-------

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes presented
herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of
financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without
considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to
inflation.

Unlike many industrial companies, substantially all of the assets and virtually
all of the liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature.  As a result,
interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company's performance than
the general level of inflation.  Over short periods of time, interest rates may
not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as
inflation.

DERIVATIVES

The Company does not use derivatives or other off-balance sheet transactions
such as future contracts, forward obligations, interest rate swaps, or options.

YEAR 2000

Subsequent to December 31, 1999, the Company has not experienced any significant
disruptions to financial or operating activities caused by failure to
computerized systems resulting from Year 2000 issues.  Management does not
expect Year 2000 issues to have a material adverse effect on the Compaany's
operations or financial results in 2000.



                                       16

FUTURE ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities.  Statement 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.  It requires that an
entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value.
The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the
intended use of the derivative.  Statement 133 was issued to address concerns
over the lack of uniformity in accounting and reporting for derivative
instruments and hedging activities.

Statement 133, as amended by Statement 137, Deferral of the Effective Date of
FASB Statement No. 133 and Statement 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an amendment of Statement No. 133,
is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000, although earlier application is permitted.  Retroactive application of
Statement 133 to financial statements of prior periods is not permitted.

Future adoption of Statement 133 is not expected to have any effect on the
consolidated financial position results of operations or liquidity of the
Company.  The Company currently does not hold derivative instruments as defined
by Statement 133.
