PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Community Capital

Community Capital is a bank holding company headquartered in Albany, Georgia and is registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Community Capital was incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia on August 19, 1998 and is the sole shareholder of Albany Bank & Trust, N.A. and AB&T National Bank. Community Capital common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market^® under the symbol “ALBY.”

Community Capital’s principal business is the ownership and management of its subsidiary banks. Community Capital was organized to facilitate its subsidiary banks’ ability to serve their customers’ requirements for financial services. The holding company structure provides flexibility for expansion of Community Capital’s banking business through the acquisition of other financial institutions and the provision of additional capital to these subsidiaries. For example, we may assist the subsidiaries in maintaining their required capital ratios by borrowing money and contributing the proceeds of that debt to the subsidiary as primary capital.

Subsidiary Banking Operations

General

Albany Bank & Trust was chartered as a national bank under the laws of the United States and began business as a full-service commercial bank on April 28, 1999. Albany Bank & Trust operates two full-service banking locations in Albany, Georgia and one full-service banking location in Lee County, Georgia.

AB&T National Bank, which was formerly known as First Bank of Dothan, was acquired by Community Capital on November 13, 2003. On September 13, 2004, we changed First Bank of Dothan’s name to “AB&T National Bank” and converted its charter from an Alabama state bank charter to a national bank charter under the laws of the United States. AB&T National Bank operates one full-service banking location in Dothan, Alabama, and one full-service banking location in Auburn, Alabama.

Albany Bank & Trust and AB&T National Bank (collectively, the “Banks”) offer lending services which include consumer loans to individuals, commercial loans to small- to medium-sized businesses and professional concerns and real estate-related loans. The Banks offer a broad array of competitively priced deposit services including demand deposits, regular savings accounts, money market deposits, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. To complement our lending and deposit services, we also provide cash management services, safe-deposit boxes, travelers’ checks, direct deposit, automatic drafts, and courier services to commercial customers. We offer our services through a variety of delivery systems including our five full-service locations, automated teller machines, telephone banking, and Internet banking.

Philosophy

The Banks operate as community banks emphasizing prompt, personalized customer service to the residents and businesses located in Dougherty and Lee counties, Georgia, and Houston and Lee counties, Alabama. We strive to provide responsive delivery of quality products and services to business customers and competitively priced consumer products to individual customers seeking a higher level of personalized service than that provided by larger, regional banks. We have adopted this philosophy in order to attract customers and acquire market share controlled by other financial institutions in these market areas. We believe that the Banks offer residents in their respective market areas the benefits associated with a locally-owned and -managed bank. The Banks’ active call programs allow their officers and directors to promote the Banks by personally describing the products, services and philosophy of the Banks to both existing customers and new business prospects. In addition, all officers of the Banks are local residents with substantial banking experience in their market areas, which facilitates the Banks’ efforts to provide products and services designed to meet the needs of our customer base. The Banks’ directors are active members of their respective business communities, and their continued active community involvement provides them with an opportunity to promote the Banks and their products and services.

Market Areas and Competition

Albany Bank & Trust is located in Albany, Georgia, and its primary market area is the ten-mile radius surrounding its main office. Albany Bank & Trust draws a majority of its business from its primary market area which includes the majority of Dougherty County and the southern portion of Lee County. Albany Bank & Trust competes for deposits and loan customers with other financial institutions whose resources are equal to or greater than those available to Albany Bank & Trust and Community Capital. According to information provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) as of June 30, 2006, Dougherty County was served by 12 commercial banks with a total of 30 offices in Dougherty County. As of June 30, 2006, the total deposits within Dougherty County for these institutions were approximately $1.40 billion, of which approximately $191 million was held by Albany Bank & Trust. At December 31, 2006, Albany Bank & Trust’s total deposits were $156 million. We believe our local ownership and management as well as our focus on personalized service help us to compete with these institutions and to attract deposits and loans in our market area.

AB&T National Bank is headquartered in Dothan, Alabama. Its primary market areas are Houston and Lee counties, Alabama. AB&T National Bank draws a majority of its business from the Houston County market area due to the maturity of its presence in this market. According to information provided by the FDIC as of June 30, 2006, these two market areas were served by 21 commercial banks. As of June 30, 2006, total deposits within these counties were approximately $3.27 billion. At December 31, 2006, AB&T National Bank’s total deposits were $83 million. Like Albany Bank & Trust, AB&T National Bank must compete with the larger institutions by promoting prompt, personalized service to its customers.

Loan Portfolios

Lending Policy. Our subsidiary Banks aggressively seek creditworthy loans within a limited geographic area. The Banks’ primary lending functions include consumer loans to individuals and commercial loans to small- and medium-sized businesses and professional concerns. In addition, they make real estate-related loans, including construction loans for residential and commercial properties, and primary and secondary mortgage loans for the acquisition or improvement of personal residences. The overall policy is to avoid concentrations of loans to a single industry or based on a single type of collateral. The composition of our loan portfolio as of December 31, 2006 was as follows:

Loan Category			Ratio
Real Estate Loans			80%
Commercial Loans			16%
Consumer Loans			4%

Real Estate Loans. The Banks make commercial real estate loans, construction and development loans, and residential real estate loans. These loans include commercial loans where they take a security interest in real estate out of an abundance of caution and not as the principal collateral for the loan, but exclude home equity loans, which are classified as consumer loans.

	·	*Commercial Real Estate.* Commercial real estate loan terms generally are limited to five years or less, although payments may be structured on a longer amortization basis. Interest rates may be fixed or adjustable, but generally are not fixed for a period exceeding 60 months. The Banks normally charge an origination fee on these loans. We attempt to reduce credit risk on our commercial real estate loans by emphasizing loans on owner-occupied office and retail buildings where the ratio of the loan principal to the value of the collateral as established by independent appraisal does not exceed 85% and net projected cash flow available for debt service equals 120% of the debt service requirement. In addition, from time to time the Banks require personal guarantees from the principal owners of the property supported by a review of the principal owners’ personal financial statements. Risks associated with commercial real estate loans include fluctuations in the value of real estate, new job creation trends, tenant vacancy rates and the quality of the borrower’s management. Community Capital attempts to limit its risk by analyzing borrowers’ cash flow and collateral value on an ongoing basis.

	·	*Construction and Development Loans*. Construction and development loans are made both on a pre-sold and speculative basis. If the borrower has entered into an agreement to sell the property prior to beginning construction, then the loan is considered to be on a pre-sold basis. If the borrower has not entered into an agreement to sell the property prior to beginning construction, then the loan is considered to be on a speculative basis. Construction and development loans are generally made with a term of nine months and interest is paid quarterly. The ratio of the loan principal to the value of the collateral as established by independent appraisal generally does not exceed 85%. Speculative loans are based on the borrower’s financial strength and cash flow position. Loan proceeds are disbursed based on the percentage of completion and only after the project has been inspected by an experienced construction lender or appraiser. Risks associated with construction loans include fluctuations in the value of real estate and new job creation trends.

	·	*Residential Real Estate.* The Banks’ residential real estate loans consist of residential first and second mortgage loans and residential construction loans. We offer fixed and variable rates on our mortgages with the amortization of first mortgages generally not to exceed 15 years and the rates not to be fixed for over 60 months. These loans are made consistent with the Banks’ appraisal policies and with the ratio of the loan principal to the value of collateral as established by independent appraisal not to exceed 90%. We believe these loan-to-value ratios are sufficient to compensate for fluctuations in real estate market value and to minimize losses that could result from a downturn in the residential real estate market.

The Banks also offer conventional mortgages to their customers. These loans are pre-qualified for sale in the secondary market prior to closing. These loans are not retained on the Banks’ books. The Banks retain a portion of the closing costs and fees as compensation for originating the loan.

Commercial Loans. Loans for commercial purposes in various lines of businesses are one of the primary components of our loan portfolios. The terms of these loans vary by purpose and by type of underlying collateral, if any. The Banks typically make equipment loans for a term of five years or less at fixed or variable rates, with the loan fully amortized over the term. Equipment loans generally are secured by the financed equipment, and the ratio of the loan principal to the value of the financed equipment or other collateral is generally 80% or less. Loans to support working capital typically have terms not exceeding one year and usually are secured by accounts receivable, inventory or personal guarantees of the principals of the business. For loans secured by accounts receivable or inventory, principal is typically repaid as the assets securing the loan are converted into cash, and for loans secured with other types of collateral, principal is typically due at maturity. The quality of the commercial borrower’s management and its ability both to evaluate properly changes in the supply and demand characteristics affecting its markets for products and services and to respond effectively to such changes are significant factors in a commercial borrower’s creditworthiness.

Consumer Loans. The Banks make a variety of loans to individuals for personal, family and household purposes, including secured and unsecured installment and term loans, home equity loans and lines of credit. Consumer loan repayments depend upon the borrower’s financial stability and are more likely to be adversely affected by divorce, job loss, illness and personal hardships. Because many consumer loans are secured by depreciable assets such as boats, cars and trailers, the loans generally are amortized over the useful life of the asset. To minimize the risk that the borrower cannot afford the monthly payments, all fixed monthly obligations generally do not exceed 40% of the borrower’s gross monthly income. The borrower should also be employed for at least 24 months prior to obtaining the loan. The loan officer reviews the borrower’s past credit history, past income level, debt history and, when applicable, cash flow and determines the impact of all these factors on the ability of the borrower to make future payments as agreed.

Investments. In addition to loans, the Banks make other investments primarily in obligations of the United States or obligations guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States, other taxable securities and other obligations of states and municipalities. As of December 31, 2006, investment securities comprised approximately 12% of the Company’s assets, with net loans comprising approximately 74%. Both subsidiary banks also engage in federal funds transactions with their principal correspondent banks and primarily act as net sellers of funds. The sale of federal funds amounts to a short-term loan from the subsidiary bank to another bank.

Community Capital’s investment policy specifies that the investment portfolio’s primary objective is to assist in the management of the Banks’ asset / liability management. Investment purchases are used to maximize the return on available funds while matching investment maturities with maturities of interest-bearing liabilities. Under the policy, the Banks may invest in U.S. Government, federal agency, municipal and corporate bonds. Rated bonds must be rated “BAA” or higher, and in-state bonds must be “A” or higher. Purchases of non-rated, out-of-state municipal bonds are prohibited. Other bonds may be purchased after an evaluation of the creditworthiness of the issuer. These investment securities are kept in safekeeping accounts at correspondent banks. While the sale of investment securities is permitted to improve quality of yields or to restructure the portfolio, the investment officer is prohibited from maintaining a trading account or speculation in bonds on behalf of the subsidiary banks.

All purchases and sales are reviewed by the individual subsidiary bank’s Board of Directors on a monthly basis. The Asset and Liability Management Committee implements the investment policy and reviews it on an annual basis.

Deposits. The Banks offer a wide range of commercial and consumer deposit accounts, including checking accounts, money market accounts, a variety of certificates of deposit, and individual retirement accounts. The primary sources of deposits are residents of, and businesses and their employees located in, our primary market areas. Deposits are obtained through personal solicitation by officers and directors, direct mail solicitations and advertisements published in the local media. To attract deposits, the subsidiary banks offer a broad line of competitively priced deposit products and services.

Financial Services. Albany Bank & Trust offers customers a variety of non-deposit investment products such as trust services, stocks, mutual funds and annuities that are not FDIC insured. These products give customers an opportunity to diversify their holdings. Primary sources of customers are residents of the Albany Bank & Trust market area.

Other Banking Services. The Banks’ other banking services include ATM and Visa check cards, direct deposit, travelers’ checks, cash management services, courier service for commercial customers, bank-by-mail, bank-by-telephone, Internet banking, wire transfer of funds, night depositories and safe-deposit boxes.

Asset and Liability Management. The Asset and Liability Management Committee manages Community Capital’s assets and liabilities and strives to provide an optimum and stable net interest margin, a profitable after-tax return on assets and return on equity and adequate liquidity. The committee conducts these management functions within the framework of written loan and investment policies that the subsidiary banks have adopted. The committee attempts to maintain a balanced position between rate-sensitive assets and rate-sensitive liabilities. Specifically, it charts assets and liabilities on a matrix by maturity, effective duration and interest adjustment period and attempts to manage any gaps in maturity ranges.

Employees

At December 31, 2006, Community Capital and its subsidiaries employed 72 full-time employees and 12 part-time employees. Community Capital considers its relationship with its employees to be excellent.

Supervision and Regulation

The Company and the Banks are subject to extensive state and federal banking regulations that impose restrictions on and provide for general regulatory oversight of their operations. These laws are generally intended to protect depositors and not shareholders. The following discussion describes the material elements of the regulatory framework that applies to us.

Community Capital

Because it owns all of the capital stock of the Banks, Community Capital is a bank holding company under the federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHC Act”) and, as a result, is primarily subject to the supervision, examination, and reporting requirements of the BHC Act and the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). As a bank holding company located in Georgia, the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance (the “GDBF”) also regulates and monitors all significant aspects of our operations.

Acquisitions of Banks. The BHC Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the Federal Reserve’s prior approval before:

	·	acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if, after the acquisition, the bank holding company will directly or indirectly own or control more than 5% of the bank’s voting shares;

	·	acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of any bank; or

	·	merging or consolidating with any other bank holding company.

Additionally, the BHC Act provides that the Federal Reserve may not approve any of these transactions if it would result in or tend to create a monopoly or substantially lessen competition or otherwise function as a restraint of trade, unless the anticompetitive effects of the proposed transaction are clearly outweighed by the public interest in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The Federal Reserve is also required to consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding companies and banks concerned. The Federal Reserve’s consideration of financial resources generally focuses on capital adequacy, which is discussed below.

Under the BHC Act, if adequately capitalized and adequately managed, Community Capital or any other bank holding company located in Georgia or Alabama may purchase a bank located outside Georgia or Alabama. Conversely, an adequately capitalized and adequately managed bank holding company located outside Georgia or Alabama may purchase a bank located inside Georgia or Alabama. In each case, however, restrictions may be placed on the acquisition of a bank that has only been in existence for a limited amount of time or will result in specified concentrations of deposits. Currently, Georgia law prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring control of a financial institution until the target financial institution has been incorporated for three years. Alabama law prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring control of a financial institution until the target financial institution has been incorporated for five years. These limitations do not apply to the Banks because they have been in existence for the applicable time periods.

Change in Bank Control. Subject to various exceptions, the BHC Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with related regulations, require Federal Reserve approval prior to any person or company acquiring “control” of a bank holding company. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control is rebuttably presumed to exist if a person or company acquires 10% or more, but less than 25%, of any class of voting securities and either:

	·	the bank holding company has registered securities under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

	·	no other person owns a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the transaction.

Our common stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The regulations provide a procedure for challenging the rebuttable presumption of control.

Permitted Activities. A bank holding company is generally permitted under the BHC Act to engage in or acquire direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in the following activities:

	·	banking or managing or controlling banks; and

	·	any activity that the Federal Reserve determines to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to the business of banking.

Activities that the Federal Reserve has found to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident to the business of banking include:

	·	factoring accounts receivable;

	·	making, acquiring, brokering or servicing loans and usual related activities;

	·	leasing personal or real property;

	·	operating a non-bank depository institution, such as a savings association;

	·	trust company functions;

	·	financial and investment advisory activities;

	·	conducting discount securities brokerage activities;

	·	underwriting and dealing in government obligations and money market instruments;

	·	providing specified management consulting and counseling activities;

	·	performing selected data processing services and support services;

	·	acting as agent or broker in selling credit life insurance and other types of insurance in connection with credit transactions; and

	·	performing selected insurance underwriting activities.

Despite prior approval, the Federal Reserve may order a bank holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any of these activities or to terminate its ownership or control of any subsidiary when it has reasonable cause to believe that the bank holding company’s continued ownership, activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of it or any of its bank subsidiaries.

In addition to the permissible bank holding company activities listed above, the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, revised and expanded the provisions of the BHC Act by permitting a bank holding company to qualify and elect to become a financial holding company. Under the regulations implementing the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, a financial holding company may engage in additional activities that are financial in nature or incidental or complementary to financial activity. The following activities are considered financial in nature:

	·	lending, trust and other banking activities;

	·	insuring, guaranteeing, or indemnifying against loss or harm, or providing and issuing annuities, and acting as principal, agent, or broker for these purposes, in any state;

	·	providing financial, investment, or advisory services;

	·	issuing or selling instruments representing interests in pools of assets permissible for a bank to hold directly;

	·	underwriting, dealing in or making a market in securities;

	·	other activities that the Federal Reserve may determine to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident to managing or controlling banks;

	·	foreign activities permitted outside of the United States if the Federal Reserve has determined them to be usual in connection with banking operations abroad;

	·	merchant banking through securities or insurance affiliates; and

	·	insurance company portfolio investments.

On December 18, 2006, the SEC and the Federal Reserve issued joint proposed rules, which would implement the “broker” exception for banks under Section 3(a)(4) of the Exchange Act of 1934 and would be adopted as part of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The proposed rules would implement the statutory exceptions that allow a bank, subject to certain conditions, to continue to conduct securities transactions for its customers as part of its trust and fiduciary, custodial and deposit “sweep” functions, and to refer customers to a securities broker-dealer pursuant to a networking arrangement with the broker-dealer.

To qualify to become a financial holding company, each depository institution subsidiary of Community Capital must be well capitalized and well managed and must have a Community Reinvestment Act rating of at least satisfactory. Additionally, Community Capital must file an election with the Federal Reserve to become a financial holding company and must provide the Federal Reserve with 30 days’ written notice prior to engaging in a permitted financial activity. While we meet the qualification standards applicable to financial holding companies, we have not elected to become a financial holding company at this time.

Support of Subsidiary Institutions. Under Federal Reserve policy, Community Capital is expected to act as a source of financial strength for the Banks and to commit resources to support the banks. This support may be required at times when, without this Federal Reserve policy, Community Capital might not be inclined to provide it. In addition, any capital loans made by Community Capital to the Banks will be repaid only after its deposits and various other obligations are repaid in full. In the unlikely event of Community Capital’s bankruptcy, any commitment by it to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of Albany Bank & Trust or AB&T National Bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

Federal Reserve Resolutions. On November 27, 2006, pursuant to the request of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Community Capital’s Board of Directors adopted resolutions (the “Resolutions”) that provide that Community Capital must receive the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve before it incurs additional debt, declares or pays dividends, or purchases or redeems treasury stock. The Resolutions also require quarterly financial information on the parent company and the subsidiary banks and written progress on the financial condition of the organization to be provided to the Federal Reserve.

Our Banking Subsidiaries

Since the Banks are chartered as national banks, they are primarily subject to the supervision, examination and reporting requirements of the National Bank Act and the regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”). The OCC regularly examines our subsidiary banks’ operations and has the authority to approve or disapprove mergers, the establishment of branches and similar corporate actions. The OCC also has the power to prevent the continuance or development of unsafe or unsound banking practices or other violations of law.

Additionally, because the Banks’ deposits are insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent provided by law, the Banks are also subject to certain FDIC regulations. The Banks are also subject to numerous state and federal statutes and regulations that affect their business, activities and operations.

Branching. National banks are required by the National Bank Act to adhere to branching laws applicable to state banks in the states in which their main offices are located. Under Georgia law, Albany Bank & Trust may open branch offices throughout Georgia with the prior approval of the OCC. In addition, with prior regulatory approval, Albany Bank & Trust may acquire branches of existing banks located in Georgia. Albany Bank & Trust and any other national or state-chartered bank generally may branch across state lines by merging with banks in other states if allowed by the applicable states’ laws. Georgia law, with limited exceptions, currently permits branching across state lines through interstate mergers.

Under current Alabama law, AB&T National Bank may open branch offices throughout Alabama with the prior approval of the OCC. In addition, with prior regulatory approval, AB&T National Bank may acquire branches of existing banks located in Alabama. AB&T National Bank and any other national or state-chartered bank generally may branch across state lines by merging with banks in other states if allowed by the laws of the applicable state (the foreign state). Alabama law, with limited exceptions, currently permits branching across state lines through interstate mergers.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, states may “opt-in” and allow out-of-state banks to branch into their state by establishing a new start-up branch in the state. Currently, neither Georgia nor Alabama has opted-in to this provision. Therefore, interstate merger is the only method through which a bank located outside of these states may branch into either of these states. This provides a limited barrier of entry into the Georgia and Alabama banking markets, which protects us from an important segment of potential competition. However, because Georgia and Alabama have elected not to opt-in, our ability to establish a new start-up branch in another state may be limited. Many states that have elected to opt-in have done so on a reciprocal basis, meaning that an out-of-state bank may establish a new start-up branch only if their home state has also elected to opt-in. Consequently, until Georgia or Alabama changes its election, the only way we will be able to branch into states that have elected to opt-in on a reciprocal basis will be through interstate merger.

Prompt Corrective Action. The FDIC Improvement Act of 1991 establishes a system of prompt corrective action to resolve the problems of undercapitalized financial institutions. Under this system, the federal banking regulators have established five capital categories (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized) in which all institutions are placed. Federal banking regulators are required to take various mandatory supervisory actions and are authorized to take other discretionary actions with respect to institutions in the three undercapitalized categories. The severity of the action depends upon the capital category in which the institution is placed. Generally, subject to a narrow exception, the banking regulator must appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically undercapitalized. The federal banking regulators have specified by regulation the relevant capital level for each category.

An institution that is categorized as undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized is required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to its appropriate federal banking regulators. A bank holding company must guarantee that a subsidiary depository institution meets its capital restoration plan, subject to various limitations. The controlling holding company’s obligation to fund a capital restoration plan is limited to the lesser of 5% of an undercapitalized subsidiary’s assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount required to meet regulatory capital requirements. An undercapitalized institution is also generally prohibited from increasing its average total assets, making acquisitions, establishing any branches or engaging in any new line of business, except under an accepted capital restoration plan or with FDIC approval. The regulations also establish procedures for downgrading an institution to a lower capital category based on supervisory factors other than capital.

FDIC Insurance Assessments. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based assessment system for insured depository institutions that takes into account the risks attributable to different categories and concentrations of assets and liabilities. The system assesses higher rates on those institutions that pose greater risks to the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”). The FDIC places each institution in one of four risk categories using a two-step process based first on capital ratios (the capital group assignment) and then on other relevant information (the supervisory group assignment). Within the lower risk category, Risk Category I, rates will vary based on each institution’s CAMELS component ratings, certain financial ratios, and long-term debt issuer ratings.

Capital group assignments are made quarterly and an institution is assigned to one of three capital categories: (1) well capitalized; (2) adequately capitalized; and (3) undercapitalized. These three categories are substantially similar to the prompt corrective action categories described above, with the “undercapitalized” category including institutions that are undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized for prompt corrective action purposes. The FDIC also assigns an institution to one of three supervisory subgroups based on a supervisory evaluation that the institution’s primary federal banking regulator provides to the FDIC and information that the FDIC determines to be relevant to the institution’s financial condition and the risk posed to the deposit insurance funds. Assessments range from 5 to 43 cents per $100 of deposits, depending on the institution’s capital group and supervisory subgroup. Institutions that are well capitalized will be charged a rate between 5 and 7 cents per $100 of deposits.

In addition, the FDIC imposes assessments to help pay off the $780 million in annual interest payments on the $8 billion Financing Corporation bonds issued in the late 1980’s as part of the government rescue of the thrift industry. This assessment rate is adjusted quarterly and is set at 1.22 cents per $100 of deposits for the first quarter of 2007.

The FDIC may terminate its insurance of deposits if it finds that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, or condition imposed by the FDIC.

Community Reinvestment Act. The Community Reinvestment Act requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions within their respective jurisdictions, the federal banking regulators shall evaluate the record of each financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. These facts are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open a branch or facility. Failure to adequately meet these criteria could impose additional requirements and limitations on the Banks. Additionally, we must publicly disclose the terms of various Community Reinvestment Act-related agreements.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (the “ALLL”) represents one of the most significant estimates in the Banks’ financial statements and regulatory reports. Because of its significance, each of the Banks has developed a system by which it develops, maintains and documents a comprehensive, systematic and consistently applied process for determining the amounts of the ALLL and the provision for loan and lease losses. The Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses, issued on December 13, 2006, encourages all banks to ensure controls are in place to consistently determine the ALLL in accordance with GAAP, the bank’s stated policies and procedures, management’s best judgment and relevant supervisory guidance. Consistent with supervisory guidance, each of the Banks maintains a prudent and conservative, but not excessive, ALLL, that is at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan and lease portfolio. Our estimate of credit losses reflects consideration of all significant factors that affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.

Commercial Real Estate Lending. The Banks’ lending operations may be subject to enhanced scrutiny by federal banking regulators based on the concentration of commercial real estate loans. On December 6, 2006, the federal banking regulators issued final guidance to remind financial institutions of the risk posed by commercial real estate (“CRE”) lending concentrations. CRE loans generally include land development, construction loans and loans secured by multifamily property, and nonfarm, nonresidential real property where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property. The guidance prescribes the following guidelines for its examiners to help identify institutions that are potentially exposed to significant CRE risk and may warrant greater supervisory scrutiny:

	·	total reported loans for construction, land development and other land represent 100% or more of the institutions total capital, or

	·	total commercial real estate loans represent 300% or more of the institution’s total capital, and the outstanding balance of the institution’s commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased by 50% or more during the prior 36 months.

As of December 31, 2006, the Banks were performing additional reviews to monitor commercial real estate loans. Additionally, management is working to reduce the ratio of such loans to total outstanding loans.

Formal Agreements with the OCC. On July 27, 2006, each of the Banks entered into a written agreement with the OCC (the “OCC Agreements”). In order to comply with the OCC Agreements, the Banks have established committees to evaluate their compliance with the terms of the Agreements and have maintained higher capital levels. The Banks have reviewed the CEO, President, Senior Loan Officer and other management positions for the Banks to ensure that they have appropriate management in place to comply with all applicable laws and to manage the day-to-day operations of the Banks. The Banks have also improved their records and management information systems and information technology systems, have reduced their credit risk, and have reviewed and enhanced their lending policies and systems with regard to credit and collateral documentation, loan review and related records, and loan portfolio management. This has been accomplished in part by revision and re-approval of the Banks’ policies, enhanced reporting to and supervision by the Board of Directors, improved information security policies and procedures, and enhanced business continuity plans. In order to comply with its OCC Agreement, Albany Bank & Trust also has reviewed and enhanced its internal controls and its conflict of interest policy and overdraft policy, and has improved its insider transaction records. The OCC Agreements include additional commitments regarding strategic planning, allowances for loan and lease losses, interest rate risk, liquidity, internal audit, each Bank’s investments, and each Bank’s transactions with its affiliates, including Community Capital.

Prior to entering into the OCC Agreements, the Banks had already taken significant steps to address many of the above issues, and management of each of the Banks is committed to ensuring that all of the requirements of the OCC Agreements are met. Each of the Banks commissioned a third party management study, added executives and staff, increased the ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and adjusted total assets, and improved each Bank’s liquidity position.

Other Regulations. Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by the Banks are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. The Banks’ loan operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:

	·	Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;

	·	Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

	·	Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;

	·	Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978, as amended by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies, certain identity theft protections, and certain credit and other disclosures;

	·	Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies;

	·	Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended by the Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act, governing the repayment terms of, and property rights underlying, secured obligations of persons currently on active duty with the United States military;

	·	Talent Amendment in the 2007 Defense Authorization Act, establishing a 36% annual percentage rate ceiling, which includes a variety of charges including late fees, for consumer loans to military service members and their dependents; and

	·	rules and regulations of the various federal banking regulators charged with the responsibility of implementing these federal laws.

The deposit operations of the Banks are subject to federal laws applicable to depository accounts, such as the:

	·	Truth-In-Savings Act, requiring certain disclosures for consumer deposit accounts;

	·	Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

	·	Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E issued by the Federal Reserve to implement that act, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services; and

	·	rules and regulations of the various federal banking regulators charged with the responsibility of implementing these federal laws.

Capital Adequacy

Community Capital and the Banks are required to comply with the capital adequacy standards established by the Federal Reserve (in the case of Community Capital) and the OCC (in the case of the Banks). The Federal Reserve has established a risk-based and a leverage measure of capital adequacy for bank holding companies. The Banks are subject to risk-based and leverage capital requirements adopted by the OCC, which are substantially similar to those adopted by the Federal Reserve for bank holding companies.

The risk-based capital standards are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance-sheet exposure, and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance-sheet items, such as letters of credit and unfunded loan commitments, are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate risk weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance-sheet items.

The minimum guideline for the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets is 8%. Total capital consists of two components, Tier 1 Capital and Tier 2 Capital. Tier 1 Capital generally consists of common stockholders’ equity, minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of qualifying cumulative perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill and other specified intangible assets. Tier 1 Capital must equal at least 4% of risk-weighted assets. Tier 2 Capital generally consists of subordinated debt, other preferred stock and hybrid capital, and a limited amount of loan loss reserves. The total amount of Tier 2 Capital is limited to 100% of Tier 1 Capital. At December 31, 2006 our ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 14.88% and our ratio of Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.61%.

In addition, the Federal Reserve has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to average assets, less goodwill and other specified intangible assets of 3% for bank holding companies that meet specified criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating and implementing the Federal Reserve’s risk-based capital measure for market risk. All other bank holding companies generally are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4%. At December 31, 2006, our leverage ratio was 9.37%. The guidelines also provide that bank holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without reliance on intangible assets. The Federal Reserve considers the leverage ratio and other indicators of capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities.

Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject a bank or bank holding company to a variety of enforcement remedies, including issuance of a capital directive, the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, a prohibition on accepting brokered deposits, and certain other restrictions on its business. As described above, significant additional restrictions can be imposed on FDIC-insured depository institutions that fail to meet applicable capital requirements. See “—Prompt Corrective Action.”

Payment of Dividends

Community Capital is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Banks. The principal sources of Community Capital’s cash flow, including cash flow to pay dividends to its shareholders, are dividends that the Banks pay to their sole shareholder, Community Capital. Statutory and regulatory limitations apply to the Banks’ payment of dividends to Community Capital as well as to Community Capital’s payment of dividends to its shareholders.

The Banks are required by federal law to obtain prior approval of the OCC for payments of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by their respective boards of directors in any year will exceed (1) the total of the bank’s net profits for that year, plus (2) its retained net profits of the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. The payment of dividends by Community Capital and the Banks may also be affected by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines. At December 31, 2006, the Banks could not pay cash dividends without prior regulatory approval as provided under the OCC Agreements and the Federal Reserve Resolutions.

If, in the opinion of the federal banking regulator, either of the Banks was engaged in or about to engage in unsafe or unsound practice, the federal banking regulator could require, after notice and a hearing, that the bank stop or refrain from engaging in any practice it considers unsafe or unsound. The federal banking regulators have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution’s capital base to an inadequate level would be an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Under the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991, a depository institution may not pay any dividend if payment would cause it to become undercapitalized or if it already is undercapitalized. Moreover, the federal banking regulators have issued policy statements that provide that bank holding companies and insured banks should generally only pay dividends out of current operating earnings. See “—Prompt Corrective Action” above.

Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates

Community Capital and the Banks are subject to the provisions of Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. Section 23A places limits on the amount of:

	·	a bank’s loans or extensions of credit to affiliates;

	·	a bank’s investment in affiliates;

	·	assets a bank may purchase from affiliates, except for real and personal property exempted by the Federal Reserve;

	·	loans or extensions of credit to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of affiliates; and

	·	a bank’s guarantee, acceptance or letter of credit issued on behalf of an affiliate.

The total amount of the above transactions is limited in amount, as to any one affiliate, to 10% of a bank's capital and surplus and, as to all affiliates combined, to 20% of a bank's capital and surplus. In addition to the limitation on the amount of these transactions, each of the above transactions must also meet specified collateral requirements. The Banks must also comply with other provisions designed to avoid the taking of low-quality assets.

Community Capital and the Banks are also subject to the provisions of Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which, among other things, prohibit an institution from engaging in the above transactions with affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the institution or its subsidiaries, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies.

The Banks are also subject to restrictions on extensions of credit to its executive officers, directors, principal shareholders and their related interests. These extensions of credit (1) must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with third parties, and (2) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.

Privacy

Financial institutions are required to disclose their policies for collecting and protecting confidential information. Customers generally may prevent financial institutions from sharing nonpublic personal financial information with nonaffiliated third parties except under narrow circumstances, such as the processing of transactions requested by the consumer or when the financial institution is jointly sponsoring a product or service with a nonaffiliated third party. Additionally, financial institutions generally may not disclose consumer account numbers to any nonaffiliated third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail marketing or other marketing to consumers.

Anti-Terrorism and Money Laundering Legislation

The Banks are subject to the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), as it amended the Bank Secrecy Act and the rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (the “OFAC”). These statutes and related rules and regulations impose requirements and limitations on specific financial transactions and account relationships, intended to guard against money laundering and terrorism financing. Community Capital and its subsidiaries established a customer identification program pursuant to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Bank Secrecy Act, and otherwise have implemented policies and procedures and policies to comply with the foregoing rules.

Federal Deposit Insurance Reform

On February 8, 2006, President Bush signed the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (FDIRA).

Among other things, FDIRA changes the Federal deposit insurance system by:

	·	raising the coverage level for qualifying retirement accounts to $250,000, subject to future indexing;

	·	authorizing the FDIC and the National Credit Union Administration to index deposit insurance coverage for inflation, for standard accounts and qualifying retirement accounts, every five years beginning April 1, 2007;

	·	prohibiting undercapitalized financial institutions from accepting employee benefit plan deposits;

	·	merging the Bank Insurance Fund and Savings Association Insurance Fund into a new Deposit Insurance Fund (the DIF); and

	·	providing credits to financial institutions that capitalized the FDIC prior to 1996 to offset future assessment premiums.

FDIRA also authorizes the FDIC to revise the current risk-based assessment system, subject to notice and comment and caps the amount of the DIF at 1.50% of domestic deposits. The FDIC must issue cash dividends, awarded on a historical basis, for the amount of the DIF over the 1.50% ratio. Additionally, if the DIF exceeds 1.35% of domestic deposits at year-end, the FDIC must issue cash dividends, awarded on a historical basis, for half of the amount of the excess.

Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act

President Bush signed the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 (“Regulatory Relief Act”) into law on October 13, 2006. The Regulatory Relief Act repeals certain reporting requirements regarding loans to bank executive officers and principal shareholders. These changes eliminated the statutory requirements for (1) executive officers to report to the Board of Directors when the executive officer becomes indebted to another institution in an aggregate amount that is greater than the officer could borrow from his or her own institution; (2) the Banks to report all credits made to executive officers since the previous report of condition; and (3) executive officers and principal shareholders to report to the Board of Directors when the executive officer or principal shareholder becomes indebted to a correspondent bank.

The Regulatory Relief Act increased the size of a bank eligible for 18-month (rather than annual) examinations from $250 million to $500 million. The Regulatory Relief Act amends the privacy rules of Gramm-Leach-Bliley to clarify that CPA’s are not required to notify their customers of privacy and disclosure policies as long as they are subject to state law restraints on disclosure of non-public personal information without customer approval. Finally, the Regulatory Relief Act requires that the federal banking regulators develop model privacy notice forms and provides that banks adopting the model forms will be afforded a regulatory safe harbor under the disclosure requirements of Gramm-Leach-Bliley.

Proposed Legislation and Regulatory Action

New regulations and statutes are regularly proposed that contain wide-ranging proposals for altering the structures, regulations and competitive relationships of financial institutions operating and doing business in the United States. We cannot predict whether or in what form any proposed regulation or statute will be adopted or the extent to which our business may be affected by any new regulation or statute.

Effect of Governmental Monetary Policies

Our earnings are affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. The Federal Reserve’s monetary policies have had, and are likely to continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks through its power to implement national monetary policy in order, among other things, to curb inflation or combat a recession. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve affect the levels of bank loans, investments and deposits through its control over the issuance of United States government securities, its regulation of the discount rate applicable to member banks and its influence over reserve requirements to which member banks are subject. We cannot predict the nature or impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves risks. If any of the following risks or other risks, which have not been identified or which we may believe are immaterial or unlikely, actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. In such a case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements.

We could suffer loan losses from a decline in credit quality.

We could sustain losses if borrowers, guarantors and related parties fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. We have adopted underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and policies, including the establishment and review of the allowance for credit losses, that we believe are appropriate to minimize this risk by assessing the likelihood of nonperformance, tracking loan performance and diversifying our credit portfolio. These policies and procedures, however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Lack of seasoning of our loan portfolio may increase the risk of credit defaults in the future.

Due to the rapid growth of the Banks over the past several years, a large portion of the loans in our loan portfolio and our lending relationships are of relatively recent origin. In general, loans do not begin to show signs of credit deterioration or default until they have been outstanding for some period of time, a process we refer to as “seasoning.” As a result, a portfolio of older loans will usually behave more predictably than a newer loan portfolio. Because a significant portion of our loan portfolio is relatively new, the current level of delinquencies and defaults may not be representative of the level that will prevail when this portion of the portfolio becomes more seasoned, which may be higher than current levels. If delinquencies and defaults increase, we may be required to increase our provision for loan losses, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our profitability is vulnerable to interest rate fluctuations.

Our profitability depends substantially upon our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest earned on assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the interest paid for liabilities, such as savings and time deposits and certificates of deposit. Market interest rates for loans, investments and deposits are highly sensitive to many factors beyond our control. Recently, interest rate spreads have generally narrowed due to changing market conditions, policies of various government and regulatory authorities and competitive pricing pressures, and we cannot predict whether these rate spreads will narrow even further. This narrowing of interest rate spreads could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we cannot predict whether interest rates will continue to remain at present levels. Changes in interest rates may cause significant changes, up or down, in our net interest income. Depending on our portfolio of loans and investments, our results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

We are operating under a Formal Agreement with the OCC which has caused us to limit our growth plans.

On July 27, 2006, each of the Banks entered into a written Formal Agreement with the OCC. Compliance with the requirements of the OCC Agreements requires us to increase the ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and adjusted total assets and has led to a decrease in the Company’s total assets in order to reach specified capital levels. Any future increases in assets will be dependent upon the Banks’ ability to generate the additional capital necessary to support the growth. As a result, we have had to re-evaluate and limit our growth strategy for the foreseeable future.

We have adopted Resolutions, as requested by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, that require us to receive regulatory approval before paying dividends.

On November 27, 2006, pursuant to the request of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, our Board of Directors adopted Resolutions that provide that we must receive the prior written approval of the Federal Reserve before we declare or pay dividends. We must also receive prior written approval before incurring additional debt or purchasing or redeeming treasury stock.

Additional growth may require us to raise additional capital in the future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels of capital to support our operations. We may at some point need to raise additional capital to support our continued growth or to meet our increased capital requirements under the OCC Agreements, as discussed above.

Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our ability to further expand our operations could be materially impaired.

If we fail to manage our past growth effectively, our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected.

We experienced significant growth in 2005 and in the first and second quarters of 2006. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies that have experienced this type of growth. Failure to manage our past growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or future prospects, and could adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our business strategy.

An economic downturn, especially one affecting our market areas, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our success depends upon the growth in population, income levels, deposits and housing starts in our primary market areas. If the communities in which we operate do not grow, or if prevailing economic conditions locally or nationally are unfavorable, our business may not succeed. Unpredictable economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the quality of our loan portfolio and our financial performance. Economic recession over a prolonged period or other economic problems in our market areas could have a material adverse impact on the quality of the loan portfolio and the demand for our products and services. Future adverse changes in the economies in our market areas may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Further, the banking industry in our market area is affected by general economic conditions such as inflation, recession, unemployment and other factors beyond our control. As a community bank, we are less able to spread the risk of unfavorable local economic conditions than larger or more regional banks. Moreover, we cannot give any assurance that we will benefit from any market growth or favorable economic conditions in our primary market areas even if they do occur.

If the value of real estate in our core market were to decline materially, a significant portion of our loan portfolio could become under-collateralized, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

With a significant amount of our loans concentrated in Albany, Georgia, a decline in local economic conditions could adversely affect the values of our real estate collateral. Consequently, a decline in local economic conditions may have a greater effect on our earnings and capital than on the earnings and capital of larger financial institutions whose real estate loan portfolios are more geographically diverse.

In addition to considering the financial strength and cash flow characteristics of borrowers, we often secure loans with real estate collateral. At December 31, 2006, approximately 80% of our total loans had real estate as a primary or secondary component of collateral. The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during the time the credit is extended. If we are required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy the debt during a period of reduced real estate values, our earnings and capital could be adversely affected.

A significant portion of our loans are located outside of our primary market areas where our ability to oversee such loans directly is limited.

Because approximately 30% of our loans are located outside of the Albany, Georgia and Houston and Lee Counties, Alabama market areas, our senior management’s ability to oversee these loans directly is limited. We may also be unable to properly understand local market conditions or promptly react to local market pressures. Any failure on our part to properly supervise these out-of-market loans could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLSOURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our market risk arises principally from interest rate risk inherent in our lending, deposit, and borrowing activities. Although we manage certain other risks, such as credit quality and liquidity risk, in the normal course of business we consider interest rate risk to be our most significant market risk and the risk that could potentially have the largest material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We do not maintain a trading portfolio or deal in international instruments, and therefore, other types of market risks, such as foreign currency risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of our business activities.

Quantitative information about the Company’s market risk at December 31, 2006 illustrates the percentage change in net interest income assuming an immediate change in rates as indicated:

Interest Rate Risk: Income Sensitivity Summary

Market Rate Change (Immediate)		Effect on Net Interest Income
+200 bps		1.83%
+100 bps		1.10%
- 100 bps		-.67%
-200 bps		-2.88%

The Company has adopted an asset/liability management program to monitor the Company’s interest rate sensitivity and to ensure that the Company is competitive in the loan and deposit markets. 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. The Company has not entered into any derivative financial instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps or options. Additionally, the information under the heading “Asset/Liability Management” in our Annual Report is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Not Applicable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" ("Disclosure Controls"). Disclosure Controls, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this annual report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based upon their controls evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

None of the other equity compensation plans or agreements listed above has been approved by Community Capital’s shareholders. Each of those plans or agreements is described below.

	Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants		Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options and warrants		Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under the equity compensation plans (excluding shares subject to outstanding options)

Equity compensation plans approved by security holders		151,653	$	9.91		72,608

Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders		257,137	$	7.68		7,364

Total		408,790	$	8.51		79,972

2000 Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plan. The 2000 Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 24, 2000. This plan is not subject to the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, nor is it qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The 2000 Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plan provides for the issuance of nonqualified stock options to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of Community Capital or any of its affiliates and the Chairman of the Board of Directors, regardless of whether he is an employee of Community Capital. Community Capital has reserved up to 21,429 shares of Community Capital’s common stock for issuance under this plan upon exercise of an option. This number may change in the event of future stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events. If an option expires or terminates without being exercised, the shares subject to the unexercised portion of the option may again be available for awards under the 2000 Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plan. The purpose of this plan is to promote in its non-employee directors personal interest in the welfare of Community Capital and provide incentives to the individuals who are primarily responsible for shaping and carrying out the long-term plans of Community Capital.

The 2000 Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plan provides for an annual grant of an option to purchase 142 shares of Community Capital’s common stock to the existing non-employee directors and an option to purchase 285 shares of Community Capital’s common stock to the Chairman of the Board as of the date of each annual shareholders’ meeting. Options granted pursuant to this plan are generally nontransferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution unless otherwise permitted by the Board of Directors. These options are fully vested and exercisable immediately, subject to any restriction imposed by the primary federal regulator of Community Capital. The exercise price of these options must be equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. The term of the options may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. If a participant ceases to be a director of Community Capital or any affiliate, the options expire, terminate and become unexercisable no later than 90 days after the date the participant ceases to provide such services.

Non-qualified Stock Option Agreement with Charles M. Jones, III. On November 15, 1999, Mr. Jones was granted an option to purchase 21,428 shares of Community Capital’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.35 per share, as adjusted to reflect Community Capital’s ten-for-seven stock split effective in January 2001. This option vested in 20% equal increments over five years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date and is now fully vested. The option will expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier, 90 days after Mr. Jones ceases to be a director of Community Capital or any affiliate.

Non-qualified Stock Option Agreement with Members of Management. On February 23, 2003, Community Capital granted five members of management options to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Community Capital’s common stock at an exercise price of $10.18 per share. These options vest in 20% equal increments over five years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date for so long as the individual serves as an employee of Community Capital or any of its affiliates. The options will become fully vested if there is a change in control of Community Capital. The options will expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date or, if earlier, 90 days after the optionee ceases to be an employee of Community Capital or any affiliate. Since the options were only granted to officers of Community Capital and the Bank, the option grants did not involve a public offering and therefore were exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Warrant Agreements with Each of Community Capital’s Directors. On March 11, 1999, Community Capital issued its directors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 302,420 shares of Community Capital’s common stock, of which 182,780 were outstanding at December 31, 2006. The warrants are exercisable at $7.00 per share, as adjusted to reflect Community Capital’s 10-for-7 stock split effective in January 2001. The warrants become and are currently fully exercisable in 20% annual increments beginning on the first anniversary of the issuance date. Exercisable warrants will remain exercisable for the ten-year period following the date of issuance or for 90 days after the warrant holder ceases to be a director of Community Capital, whichever is shorter. The exercise price of each warrant is subject to adjustment for stock splits, recapitalizations or other similar events. Additionally, if the Bank’s capital falls below the minimum level, as determined by the OCC, Community Capital may be directed to require the directors to exercise or forfeit their warrants.
