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

Community National Bank ("the Bank") is a full service institution operating in the state of Vermont. The Bank has eight offices, five of which are located in Orleans County, one in Essex County, one in Caledonia County, and the newest office in Washington County. On May 29, 2001, Community National Bank opened its eighth office on 95-97 State Street in Montpelier, Vermont. This office operates as a full service institution, serving the Barre-Montpelier area. The Company felt it was time to branch out into another county in Vermont.

Liberty Savings Bank ("Liberty") is a New Hampshire guaranty savings bank acquired by Community Bancorp. on December 31, 1997. Currently this bank is inactive and shares the mailing address of Community Bancorp. Most of the Bancorp's business is conducted through the Bank, therefore, the following narrative is based primarily on this Bank's operations. The various spreadsheets preceding this section are consolidated figures for Community Bancorp. and subsidiaries, and can be used to provide a more detailed comparison of the information disclosed in the following narrative.

OVERVIEW

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 was $640,976, representing a decrease of 1.2% and an increase of 13.2%, respectively, over the net income figures of $648,664 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, and $566,489 for the same period in 1999. The results of this are earnings per share of $0.18 for the second quarter of 2001 and 2000, and $0.16 for the second quarter of 1999. The Company declared a cash dividend of $0.16 per share payable May 1, 2001 to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2001. Net income for the first six months of 2001 was $1,129,894 compared to $1,082,289 for the first six months of 2000, and $977,286 for the first six months of 1999, representing an increase of 4.4% for 2001 versus 2000, and 15.6% for 2001 versus 1999. Earnings per share for the first six months were $0.32 for 2001 compared to $0.30 for 2000 and $0.28 for 1999. The second quarter of 2001 was not as profitable as the second quarter of 2000 due in part to a decrease in the investment portfolio, resulting in less interest income. Net income for the first six months of 2001 was more profitable than both the 2000 and 1999 comparison periods due to a decrease in the provision for loan losses and a substantial gain on the sale of treasuries from the investment portfolio.

Net interest income, the difference between interest income and expense, represents the largest portion of the Company's earnings, and is affected by the volume, mix, rate sensitivity of earning assets as well as interest bearing liabilities, market interest rates and the amount of non-interest bearing funds which support earning assets.

Net interest income for the second quarter comparison period started at $2.3 million for 1999, increased to $2.4 million for 2000, and then increased to $2.5 million for 2001, resulting in an increase of 5.7% for 2000 versus 1999, and an increase of 3.5% for 2001 versus 2000. Total interest income for the second quarter of 2001 increased $293,074 or by 6.6% compared to the same quarter in 2000, and the second quarter of 2000 increased $254,122 or 6.1% compared to the same quarter of 1999. Interest expense followed the same pattern with an increase of $207,759 or 10.3% for the second quarter of 2001 compared to 2000, and an increase of $123,165 or 6.5% for the second quarter of 2000 compared to the same quarter in 1999.

Net interest income started at $4.5 million as of the end of the first six months of 1999, increased $299,201 or 6.7% to $4.8 million as of the end the first six months of 2000, and then increased $140,187 or 2.9% to end the first six months of 2001 at a figure of $4.9 million. Total interest income for the first six months increased $380,965 or 4.6% for 2000 versus 1999, and $885,117 or 10.3% for 2001 versus 2000. An increase in the loan portfolio over the past three years supports the increase in both comparison periods. Total interest expense increased $81,764 or 2.2% for the first six months of 2000 versus 1999, and an increase of $744,930 or 19.4% is recognized for the first six months of 2001 versus 2000. A review of the six month figures for interest earned on loans, the major source of interest income, reveals an increase of 5.8% for 2000 compared to 1999, and an increase of 13.4% for 2001 compared to 2000. In comparison, interest paid on deposits, the major source of interest expense, shows a decrease of 2.6% and in increase of 15.5%, respectively. The result is a tax equivalent spread for the first six months equaling 3.6% for 2001 versus 3.8% for 2000 and 3.6% for 1999.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company had total average assets of $251 million at June 30, 2001 and $246 million at December 31, 2000. Average earning assets were $239 million for the first six months ended June 30, 2001, including average loans of $177 million and average investment securities of $57 million. Average earning assets were $234 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 including average loans of $165 million and average investment securities of $66 million. The Company attributes the desire to increase the loan portfolio for the increase in average loan volume.

Average interest bearing liabilities at June 30, 2001 were $202 million, with average time deposits reported totaling $100 million and NOW & money market funds of $51 million. At December 31, 2000, average interest bearing liabilities of $196 million were reported including average time deposits of $93 million and NOW & money market funds at an average volume of $51 million.

Repurchase agreements continue to increase in volume, starting at an average volume of $10 million at December 31, 2000, and increasing $4.5 million to end at a six-month average balance of $14.5 million as of June 30, 2001. These accounts have been well received since they were introduced in 1998, and have been successful in retaining current business customers and attracting new ones.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Liquidity Risk - Liquidity management refers to the ability of the Company to adequately cover fluctuations in assets and liabilities. Meeting loan demand (assets) and covering the withdrawal of deposit funds (liabilities) are two key components of the liquidity management process. The repayment of loans and growth in deposits are two of the major sources of liquidity. Our time deposits greater than $100,000 increased $236,666 or 1.4% to end the first six months of 2001 at a volume of $17.7 million compared to $17.5 million at the end of the 2000 calendar year. Other time deposits increased $1.8 million from December 31, 2000 to June 30, 2001. This increase is attributable to a variety of attractive rates and maturity schedules offered in an effort to retain and attract new deposit customers. A review of these deposits, primarily the time deposits over $100,000 indicates that they are primarily generated locally and regionally and most are established customers of the Company. The Company has no brokered deposits. Now and money market funds decreased $5.6 million to end the first six months of 2001 at $50.2 million compared to $55.8 million as of the end of 2000. The positive response to the repurchase agreements is a key factor to the decrease in now and money market funds. Our gross loan portfolio increased 1.6% from $177.5 million at the end of 2000 to $180.3 million at the end of the first six months of 2001. The Bank has purchased approximately $2 million in loans from other institutions contributing to the increase in the loan portfolio. Federal funds sold and overnight deposits reported a balance of $6 million as of the end the first six months of 2001, compared to a zero balance as of the end of the 2000 calendar year. As of June 30, 2001, the Company held in it's investment portfolio treasuries classified as "Available for Sale" at a fair value of $15.4 million, compared to $19.2 million as of December 31, 2000, a decrease of $3.8 million or 19.9%. Treasuries classified as "Held to Maturity" ended the first six months of 2001 at a book value of $35.3 million compared to $42.2 million as of the end of the 2000 calendar year. Both of these types of investments mature at monthly intervals as shown on the gap report at the end of this section. Securities classified as "Restricted Equity Securities" are made up of equity securities the Company is required to maintain in the form Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB) and Federal Reserve stock. These securities increased $83,000 to a reported balance of $1.2 million as of June 30, 2001. The Company currently has an advance of just over $5 million against an available line of $106.8 million, with an additional $2 million and $4.1 million, respectively, at First Boston and FHLB.

Credit Risk - Management follows strict underwriting guidelines, and has established a thorough loan-by-loan review policy. These measures help to insure the adequacy of the loan loss coverage. The Executive Officers and the Board of Directors conduct periodic reviews of the loan portfolio. Topics discussed include potential exposures existing within the portfolio. Factors considered are each borrower's financial condition, the industry or sector for the economy in which the borrower operates, and overall economic conditions. Existing or potential problems are noted and addressed by senior management in order to assess the risk of probable loss or delinquency. A variety of loans are reviewed periodically by an independent firm in order to assure accuracy and compliance with various policies and procedures set by the regulatory authorities. The Company also employs a Credit Administration Officer whose duties include, among others, a review of the loan portfolio including delinquent and non-performing loans.

Specific allocations are made in situations management feels are at a greater risk for loss. A quarterly review of the qualitative factors including "Levels of, and Trends in, Delinquencies and Non-Accruals" and "National and Local Economic Trends and Conditions", help to ensure that areas with potential risk are noted and coverage increased or decreased to reflect the trends in delinquencies and non-accruals. Residential first mortgage loans make up the largest part of the loan portfolio and have the lowest historical loss ratio helping to alleviate the overall risk.

Allowance for loan losses and provisions - The valuation allowance for loan losses of $1.9 million as of June 30, 2001 composed 1.04% of the total gross loan portfolio. A primary concern of management is to reduce the exposure of credit loss within the portfolio. The Company maintains a residential loan portfolio of approximately $107.6 million and a commercial real estate portfolio of approximately $34 million accounting for 60% and 19%, respectively, of the total loan portfolio. This large loan volume together with the low historical loan loss experience helps to support our basis for loan loss coverage.

The three components of non-performing assets for the company are loans classified as 90 days or more past due and still accruing, non-accruing loans, and other real estate owned (OREO). A comparison of these non-performing assets revealed a decrease in non-accruing loans of $35,810 or 2.5%, and a decrease in the OREO portfolio of $29,140 or 14.5%, while an increase of $43,392 or 86% was noted in loans 90 days or more past due. The portfolio of non-accruing loans makes up the biggest portion of the non-performing assets and consists of $1.25 million or 91% of real estate secured mortgage loans at the end of the first six months of 2001, thereby reducing the exposure to loss.

Non-performing assets as of June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 were as follows:

	06/30/2001	12/31/2000

Non-Accruing loans	$1,379,073	$1,414,883
Loans past due 90 day or more and still accruing	93,954	50,562
Other real estate owned	171,983	201,123
Total	$1,645,010	$1,666,568

Other real estate owned is made up of property that the Company owns in lieu of foreclosure or through normal foreclosure proceedings, and property that the Company does not hold title to but is in actual control of, known as in-substance foreclosure. The value of the property is determined prior to transferring the balance to other real estate owned. The balance transferred to OREO is the lesser of the appraised value of the property, or book value of the loan. A write-down may be deemed necessary to bring the book value of the loan equal to the appraised value. Appraisals are then done periodically thereafter charging any additional write-downs to the appropriate expense account.

Market Risk and Asset and Liability Management - Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. To that end, management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. The Company does not have any market risk sensitive instruments acquired for trading purposes. The Company attempts to structure its balance sheet to maximize net interest income while controlling its exposure to interest rate risk. The Company's Asset/Liability Committee formulates strategies to manage interest rate risk by evaluating the impact on earnings and capital of such factors as current interest rate forecasts and economic indicators, potential changes in such forecasts and indicators, liquidity, and various business strategies. The Asset/Liability Committee's methods for evaluating interest rate risk include an analysis of the Company's interest rate sensitivity "gap", which provides a static analysis of the maturity and repricing characteristics of the entire balance sheet, and a simulation analysis which calculates projected net interest income based on alternative balance sheet and interest rate scenarios, including "rate shock" scenarios involving immediate substantial increases or decreases in market rates of interest.

Interest Rate Sensitivity "Gap" Analysis - An interest rate sensitivity "gap" is defined as the difference between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely. Because different types of assets and liabilities with the same or similar maturities may react differently to changes in overall market interest rates or conditions, changes in interest rates may affect net interest income positively or negatively even if an institution were perfectly matched in each maturity category.

The following tables set forth the estimated maturity or repricing of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 2001, and December 31, 2000. The Company prepares its interest rate sensitivity "gap" analysis by scheduling assets and liabilities into periods based upon the next date on which such assets and liabilities could mature or reprice. The amounts of assets and liabilities shown within a particular period were determined in accordance with the contractual term of the assets and liabilities, except that:

Adjustable-rate loans and certificates of deposit are included in the period when they are first scheduled to adjust and not in the period in which they mature;

Fixed-rate loans reflect scheduled contractual amortization, with no estimated prepayments;

And

NOW, money markets, and savings deposits, which do not have contractual maturities, reflect estimated levels of attrition, which are based on detailed studies by the Company of the sensitivity of each such category of deposit, to changes in interest rates.

Management believes that these assumptions approximate actual experience and considers them reasonable. However, the interest rate sensitivity of the Company's assets and liabilities in the tables could vary substantially if different assumptions were used or actual experience differs from the historical experiences on which the assumptions are based.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

Total other operating income for the second quarter of 2001 was $655,609 compared to $518,593 for the second quarter of 2000 and $450,091 for the second quarter of 1999, resulting in increases of $137,016 or 26.4% for 2001 versus 2000 and $68,502 or 15.2% for 2000 versus 1999. A gain of $124,795 on the sale of various US Treasuries and Government Agencies during the second quarter helped to boost income for the respective period. Total other operating income for the first six months of 2001 ended at $1,160,430 compared to $920,889 for 2000 and $823,563 as of the end of the first six months of 1999. The results are an increase of $239,541 or 26% for 2001 versus 2000 and $97,326 or 11.8% for 2000 versus 1999. Security gains again notes the biggest increase for the 2001 versus 2000 comparison period while other income notes the only decrease reported at $41,930 or just under 11%. A decrease of $51,285 is noted in the gain on sale of OREO properties. The Bank has had to take possession of fewer properties during the first six months of 2001, generating less income and expenses on these non-performing assets.

Total other operating expenses followed the same pattern for the second quarter comparisons with figures of $2.24 million for 2001, an increase of $269,141 or 13.7% over the 2000 second quarter figure of $1.97 million, which increased $143,219 or 7.8% over the 1999 figure of $1.83 million. Salaries and wages noted the biggest increase for 2001 compared to 2000, due to the increase in personnel needed to staff our newly opened Montpelier office. Occupancy expense notes the biggest increase for the second quarter of 2000 versus 1999, due to significant increases in depreciation, taxes on bank properties, and service contracts. Total other operating expense for the six month comparison periods increased from $3.7 million for 1999 to $4 million for 2000, and then increased to $4.4 million for 2001, resulting in increases of 8.3% for 2000 versus 1999 and 11.3% for 2001 versus 2000. Salaries and wages again notes the biggest increase for the 2001 versus 2000 comparison period followed by other expenses reporting an increase of $141,186 or 11%. The Company is celebrating its 150^th Anniversary during the 2001 calendar year. The expenses incurred for different events going on throughout the year are included in various components of other expenses. Other expense notes an increase of $91,968 or 7.7% for the 2000 versus 1999 comparison period, followed closely by occupancy expense with a reported increase for 2000 versus 1999 of $82,664 or 12.8%.

All components of other operating expenses are monitored by management, however, a quarterly review is performed on crucial components to assure that the accruals for these expenses are accurate. This helps alleviate the need to make drastic adjustments to these accounts that in turn effect the net income of the Company.

APPLICABLE INCOME TAXES

Income before taxes increased from $785,172 for the second quarter of 1999 to $895,412 for the second quarter of 2000, and then decreased to $854,602 for the second quarter of 2001. The results are an increase of $110,240 or 14% for 2000 versus 1999 and a decrease of $40,810 or 4.6% for 2001 versus 2000. As a result, provisions for income taxes increased $28,065 or 12.8% for the 2000 versus 1999 period, followed by a decrease of $33,122 or 13.4% for 2001 versus 2000 ending the second quarter of 2001 at $213,626. Income before taxes for the first six months increased from $1.34 million for 1999 to $1.47 million for 2000 to $1.48 million as of June 30, 2001, with income taxes calculated at $362,236, $391,242, and $350,648, respectively.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

Rates of inflation affect the reported financial condition and results of operations of all industries, including the banking industry. The effect of monetary inflation is generally magnified in bank financial and operating statements. As costs and prices rise during periods of monetary inflation, cash and credit demands of individuals and businesses increase, and the purchasing power of net monetary assets declines. The Company depends primarily on a strong net interest income to enable their purchasing power to remain aggressive.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's stockholders' equity started the year at $22,530,170, increased through earnings of $1,129,894 and sales of common stock of $356,270 through dividend reinvestment and debenture conversions, as well as adjustments totaling $122,713 for valuation allowance for securities. It was decreased by dividends totaling $1,101,599, the purchase of treasury stock of $1,476 and the purchase of stock through the Company's stock repurchase program of $211,677. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company announced plans to buy up to 6% or 205,000 shares of its outstanding common stock at current market prices. The price per share during the first six months of the 2001 calendar year was in the range of $11.25 to $12.50 per share. The Company declared a dividend in December of 2000, payable in February of 2001. As a result, an accrual for the dividend was necessary, decreasing stockholders' equity by $536,925 as of December 31, 2000. Stockholders' equity ended the first six months of 2001 at $23,361,220 with a book value of $6.60 per share. All stockholders' equity is unrestricted. Additionally, it is noted that the net unrealized loss on valuation allowance for securities has decreased since the beginning of the year. A review of this activity shows that as the maturity date of the investments gets closer, the market price increases, therefore, reducing the amount of the unrealized loss associated with these investment securities.

The Company is required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to "risk weighted" assets, as defined by the banking regulators. The minimum requirements for Tier I and Total Capital are 4% and 8%, respectively. As of June 30, 2001, the Company continued to maintain ratios far above the minimum requirements with reported ratios of approximately 17% for Tier I and 18% for Total Capital.

The Company intends to continue maintaining a strong capital resource position to support its asset size and level of operations. Consistent with that policy, management will continue to anticipate the Company's future capital needs.

From time to time the Company may make contributions to the capital of its subsidiaries, Community National Bank and Liberty Savings Bank. At present, regulatory authorities have made no demand on the Company to make additional capital contributions to either Bank's capital.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

Community National Bank is currently involved in a lawsuit filed on March 23, 1998, in the Orleans Superior Court against the State of Vermont. The issue involves OREO property that is on "filled land" on the shores of Lake Memphremagog in the City of Newport. According to a so-called "public trust doctrine", the State of Vermont might have ownership of any lands created by filling any portion of the navigable waters of the state. The result of this is that the Bank has been unable to sell these properties for fair value because some attorneys will not clear title to the property. The suit filed is an attempt to clear title to said properties by seeking judicial clarification of the public trust doctrine. The Bank received documents in mid April of 2000 pertaining to the ruling of the lawsuit. The judgement was not in the Bank's favor. On June 23, 2000, the Bank filed an appeal to the Vermont Supreme Court, but as of this filing, no date has been set for oral arguments. Regardless of the outcome of the suit, is not likely to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Bank or consolidated Company.

There are no other pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the subject, other than routine litigation incidental to its banking business.
