                               (Unaudited)


1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements,
which are for interim periods, do not include all disclosures provided
in the annual consolidated financial statements.  These financial
statements and the footnotes thereto should be read in conjunction
with the annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998  for Commercial Bankshares, Inc. (the
"Company").

All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial statements.  Those adjustments are
of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001, are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.



2. PER SHARE DATA

Earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares (basic earnings per share) and
by the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common
share equivalents outstanding (diluted earnings per share).  Common stock
equivalents include the effect of all outstanding stock options, using
the treasury stock method.

The following tables reconcile the weighted average shares (denominator)
used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands,
except per share amounts):

3. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, ("SFAS 142") "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets".  SFAS 142, which is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001, revises the accounting,

The implementation of the Statement is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.


In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 ("SFAS 144")
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets".
SFAS 144, which is effective for financial statements for years
beginning after December 15, 2001, addresses financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of certain long-lived assets.
The implementation of this Statement is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.




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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's net income reported for the quarter ended September 30,
2001, was $1.81 million, a 15% increase over the quarter ended September
30, 2000 of $1.57 million.  Basic and diluted earnings per share were
$.50 and $.48, respectively, for the third quarter of 2001, as compared
to $.43 and $.42, respectively, for the third quarter of 2000.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company's net income
was $5.20 million, a 12% increase over the nine months ended September
30, 2000 of $4.66 million.  Basic and diluted earnings per share were
$1.44 and $1.40, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 as compared to $1.27 and $1.24, respectively, for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000.

The Company's third quarter tax-equivalent net interest income increased
to $5.61 million, from $5.06 million in the corresponding quarter in
2000.  The annualized net interest margins for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 2001 were 4.30% and 4.25%, respectively.
This compares to 4.41% and 4.56% for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2000.  The decrease in the net interest margin is the
result of the current interest rate environment and intense competition
for deposits and quality loans.  The net interest margin has been
calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, which includes an adjustment for
interest on tax-exempt securities.

Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2001 increased by $239,000,
or 33%, and increased by $500,000, or 24% for the first nine months of
2001, from the corresponding periods of 2000.  The increase for the third
quarter of 2001 is primarily due to an increase in account activity
charges of $70,000, letter of credit income of $25,000, and a gain on
sale of investments of $147,000.  The increase for the first nine months
of 2001 is due to increased account activity charges of $220,000, letter
of credit income of $24,000 and gain on sale of investments of $147,000.
In addition, a loss on sale of investments of $108,000 was incurred in
the first nine months of 2000.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $217,000, or 11%,
for the third quarter of 2001, and by $604,000, or 11%, for the first
nine months of 2001, from the corresponding periods of 2000.  The
increase is attributable to normal payroll increases and increased
benefit costs.

Data processing expense increased by $28,000 or 12% for the third
quarter of 2001, and by $105,000, or 16%, for the first nine months of
2001, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2000.  The increase
is attributable to an increase in the number of accounts processed and
to an increase in rates from the Company's service provider.

Furniture and equipment expense decreased by $27,000 or 13% for the
third quarter of 2001, and by $114,000, or 17%, for the first nine
months of 2001, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2000 due
to a decrease in furniture and equipment depreciation expense.

Company management continually reviews and evaluates the allowance for
loan losses.  In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses, management considers the results of its methodology, along
with other factors such as the amount of non-performing loans and the
economic conditions affecting the Company's markets and customers.
The allowance for loan losses was approximately $4.22 million at
September 30, 2001, as compared with $3.81 million at December 31, 2000.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the allowance for loan
losses was increased by the provision for loan losses of $425,000, and
decreased by approximately $10,000 in net charge-offs.  For the nine
months ended September 30, 2000, the allowance was increased with a
provision for loan losses of $240,000 and increased by approximately
$75,000 in net recoveries.  The allowance as a percentage of total loans
has decreased to 1.24% at September 30, 2001, from 1.31% at December 31,
2000.  Based on the nature of the loan portfolio and prevailing economic
factors, management believes that the current level of the allowance for
loan losses is sufficient to absorb losses in the loan portfolio.

Approximately $203.1 million, or 60% of total loans was secured by
nonresidential real estate and $69.7 million, or 21% of total loans was
secured by residential real estate as of September 30, 2001.  Virtually
all loans are within the Company's markets in Miami-Dade and Broward
counties.

The Company had a non-accrual loan balance of $866,000 at September 30,
2001. If these loans were on full accrual, additional interest income of
approximately $48,000 would have been recorded during the first nine
months of 2001.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The objective of liquidity management is to maintain cash flow
requirements to meet immediate and ongoing future needs for loan demand,
deposit withdrawals, maturing liabilities, and expenses.  In evaluating
actual and anticipated needs, management seeks to obtain funds at the
most economical cost.  Management believes that the level of liquidity
is sufficient to meet future funding requirements.

For banks, liquidity represents the ability to meet both loan
commitments and withdrawals of deposited funds.  Funds to meet these
needs can be obtained by converting liquid assets to cash or by
attracting new deposits or other sources of funding.  Many factors
affect a bank's ability to meet liquidity needs.  Commercial Bank of
Florida's (the Bank) principal sources of funds are deposits, repurchase
agreements, payments on loans, maturities and sales of investments.
As an additional source of funds, the Bank has credit availability with
the Federal Home Loan Bank amounting to $83 million, and Federal Funds
purchased lines available at correspondent banks amounting to $13
million as of September 30, 2001.

The Bank's primary use of funds is to originate loans and purchase
investment securities.  The net change in loans during the first nine
months of 2001 was an increase of $50.1 million, and the Bank purchased
$44.6 million of investment securities.  Funding for the above came
primarily from increases in deposits of $30.6 million, increases from
proceeds from maturities and sales of investment securities of $73.4
million, partially offset by a decrease in securities sold under
agreements to repurchase of $2.8 million.


In accordance with risk-based capital guidelines issued by the Federal
Reserve Board, the Company and the Bank are each required to maintain
a minimum ratio of total capital to risk weighted assets of 8%.
Additionally, all bank holding companies and member banks must
maintain "core" or "Tier 1" capital of at least 3% of total assets
("leverage ratio").  Member banks operating at or near the 3% capital
level are expected to have well diversified risks, including no undue
interest rate risk exposure, excellent control systems, good earnings,
high asset quality, high liquidity, and well managed on- and off-balance
sheet activities, and in general be considered strong banking
organizations with a composite 1 rating under the CAMELS rating system
of banks.  For all but the most highly rated banks meeting the above
conditions, the minimum leverage ratio is to be 3% plus an additional
100 to 200 basis points.  The Tier 1 Capital, Total Capital, and
Leverage Ratios of the Company were 11.99%, 13.44%, and 8.25%,
respectively, as of September 30, 2001.



  ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND INTEREST RATE RISK

Changes in interest rates can substantially impact the Company's
long-term profitability and current income.  An important part of
management's efforts to maintain long-term profitability is the
management of interest rate risk.  The goal is to maximize net interest
income within acceptable levels of interest rate risk and liquidity.
Interest rate exposure is managed by monitoring the relationship between
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, focusing on
the size, maturity or repricing date, rate of return and degree of risk.
The Asset/Liability Management Committee of the Bank oversees the
interest rate risk management and reviews the Bank's asset/liability
structure on a quarterly basis.

The Bank uses interest rate sensitivity, or GAP analysis to monitor the
amount and timing of balances exposed to changes in interest rates.  The
GAP analysis is not relied upon solely to determine future reactions to
interest rate changes because it is presented at one point in time and
could change significantly from day-to-day.  Other methods such as
simulation analysis are utilized in evaluating the Bank's interest rate
risk position.  The table presented below shows the Bank's GAP analysis
at September 30, 2001.

         Management's assumptions reflect the Bank's estimate of the
         anticipated repricing sensitivity of non-maturity deposit
         products.  Interest-bearing checking and savings accounts
         have been allocated to the "over 1 year" category, and money
         market accounts 25% to the "91-181 days" category, 25% to the
         "182-365 days" category, and 50% to the "over 1 year" category.


The Bank uses simulation analysis to quantify the effects of various
immediate parallel shifts in interest rates on net interest income over
the next 12 month period.  Such a "rate shock" analysis requires key
assumptions which are inherently uncertain, such as deposit sensitivity,
cash flows from investments and loans, reinvestment options, management's
capital plans, market conditions, and the timing, magnitude and frequency
of interest rate changes.  As a result, the simulation is only a
best-estimate and cannot accurately predict the impact of the future
interest rate changes on net income.  As of September 30, 2001, the
Bank's simulation analysis projects an increase to net interest income of
6.48%, assuming an immediate parallel shift downward in interest rates by
200 basis points.  If rates rise by 200 basis points, the simulation
analysis projects net interest income would decrease by 3.54%.  These
projected levels are within the Bank's policy limits.
