           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                           (Unaudited)

1.   General

     South Carolina Community Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company")
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware for the
purpose of becoming the savings and loan holding company of
Community Federal Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank"). Both
companies are headquartered in Winnsboro, South Carolina. The
Company is engaged primarily in the business of directing,
planning and coordinating the business activities of the Savings
Bank. The financial statements of the Savings Bank are presented
on a consolidated basis with those of the Company.

2.   Basis of Preparation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and
therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a
complete presentation of the consolidated balance sheets,
consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of
stockholders' equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
However, all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial
statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The statements of income for the three
month period ended September 30, 1997, are not necessarily
indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire
year.

     It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the Company for the
year ended June 30, 1997.

3.   Earnings Per Share

     Earnings per share amounts for the three month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997, are based on the average number of
shares and equivalents outstanding throughout the period.
Unallocated ESOP shares are not considered as outstanding for
purposes of this calculation. 

4.   Deposit Insurance Assessment

     The Company was required to pay a special assessment to
recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF).The
Company recorded the special assessment for deposit insurance
premiums of approximately $193,000 in operations for the three
months ending September 30, 1996, with an after tax impact on net
income of approximately $127,000.

<PAGE>

6.   Asset Quality

     At September 30, 1997, the Company had total nonperforming
loans (i.e., loans which are contractually past due 90 days or
more) of approximately $297,000. Nonperforming loans was .82% of
total loans at September 30, 1997. Total nonperforming assets as
a percent of total assets at September 30, 1997 was .87%.

Item 2.
 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General 

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in
understanding the financial condition and the results of
operations of the Company. References to the "Company" include
South Carolina Community Bancshares, Inc. and/or Community
Federal Savings Bank as appropriate.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 1997 and September
30, 1997

The Company's total consolidated assets decreased by
approximately $1.0 million or 2.1% from $46.6 million at June 30,
1997 to $45.6 million at September 30, 1997. The decrease in
assets for the period was primarily attributable to assets used
to fund deposit withdrawals.

The composition of the Company's balance sheet has not been
materially affected by market conditions between June 30, 1997
and September 30, 1997. Net loans remained level while
investments held to maturity decreased by $1 million as a result
of scheduled maturities. The proceeds from these maturities were
used to fund current cash flow needs.

Consistent with its historical lending practices, the Company's
loan portfolio at September 30 1997 consisted primarily of fixed
rate loans with maturities of up to twenty-five (25) years.
Consequently, the Company is exposed to a high degree of interest
rate risk in a rising interest rate environment. The Company has
historically accepted this risk in light of its relatively high
capital levels. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" discussion
below.

Deposits decreased $938,000 million or 2.8%, from $34.0 million
at June 30, 1997 to $33.0 million at September 30, 1997. The
decrease in deposits was primarily attributable to a $500,000
decline in Now accounts and a $500,000 decline in various
certificates of deposit.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended
September 30, 1996 and 1997

Net Income. Net income increased $103,000 from $16,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 to $119,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997. The return on average assets was
 .15% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
1.04 % for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Net income
for the three months ending September 30, 1996, exclusive of the
special SAIF assessment which had an impacted on net income of
approximately $127,000, would have been $143,000.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $26,000 or
5.8% from $446,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996
to $472,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The
improvement in net interest income primarily reflects the
Company's ability to obtain Now account deposits  which carry a
lower cost of funds.

<PAGE>

Interest Income. Total interest income increased $43,000 from
$844,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to
$887,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Interest
on loans increased $55,000, or 7.8%. Interest on investments
decreased $23,000 as the average investment portfolio decreased
with scheduled maturities that were not reinvested.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $17,000 from
$398,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to
$415,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. The
increase for the three months ending September 30, 1997 was the
result of a $2.3 million increase in the average interest bearing
deposits offset by a 16 basis point decrease in the cost of
funds. The majority of this deposit growth came as a result of
the branch acquisition.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company did not record any
provision for loan losses for either of the three month periods
ended September 30. Management has reviewed the allowance for
loan losses in relation to the Company's composition of its loan
portfolio and observations of the general economic climate and
loan loss expectations. Based on the loss model, management feels
that the allowance for loan loss is adequate at the end of both
periods. The ratio of the allowance to non-performing loans at
September 30, 1997 was 98.5% and nonperforming loans to total
loans was only .82%.

Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income continues to be an
insignificant source of income for the Company. This income was
$13,000 for the three months ending September 30, 1996 and
$30,000 for the same period in 1997. The increase is the result
of additional banking services being offered to customers in 1997
that were not offered in 1996.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense, excluding the effect
of the one-time SAIF assessment of $193,000, increased by $64,000
from $237,000 for the three months ending September 30, 1996 to
$301,000 for 1997. The increase was the direct result of a
$34,000 increase in compensation expense primarily from
additional employees added following the branch acquisition and
normal salary increases. Net occupancy expense increased $10,000
and data processing increased $9,000 as a result of increased
operations and the addition of the branch location. Other non-
interest expenses increased by $24,000 as a result of increased
operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The Company's primary sources
of funds are deposits, proceeds from principal and interest
payments on loans, and investment maturities. While maturities
and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of
funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and
competition. The Company's primary investing activity is loan
originations. The Company maintains liquidity levels adequate to
fund loan commitments, investment opportunities, deposit
withdrawals and other financial commitments.  

At September 30, 1997, there were no material commitments for
capital expenditures. Obligations to fund outstanding loan
commitments at September 30, 1997 were approximately $117,000.

At September 30, 1997, management had no knowledge of any trends,
events or uncertainties that will have or are reasonably likely
to have material effects on the liquidity, capital resources or
operations of

<PAGE>

the Company. Furthermore, management was not aware of any current
recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if
implemented, would have such an effect.

The Savings Bank exceeded all of its capital requirements at
September 30, 1997.  The Savings Bank had the following capital
ratios at September 30,1997 and was categorized as "well
capitalized" under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations
adopted by the OTS pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.
