Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On August 23, 2010, Community Shores Bank (the "Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Community Shores Bank Corporation, signed a non-binding letter of intent (“Letter of Intent”) with Velmeir Acquisition Services, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, to sell vacant land located at the corner of Apple Avenue and Quarterline in the City of Muskegon. The sale is intended to include all buildings, improvements, easements, division rights, hereditaments and appurtenances situated on or associated with the land. Originally the Bank planned on using the land to build a branch. The agreed on sale price is $1,075,000 and is subject to terms and conditions that are customary for real estate transactions; including securing a deposit, inspection of the property and executing a purchase agreement. The Letter of Intent contains an agreement to take the property off the market for a period of time and a confidentiality clause regarding the purchaser.
