NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(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 year ended December 31, 2004 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 six month period ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the statements of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the periods covered. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

2. STOCK OPTIONS

The following table provides the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 148 disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share as if the Company had adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based awards for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in the prior year:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

Earnings per share, diluted pro forma	$	.47		$	.44		$	.92		$	.87

3. PER SHARE DATA

Earnings per share have been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock (basic earnings per share) and by the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus dilutive shares of common stock 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 used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended							Three Months Ended
	June 30, 2005							June 30, 2004
	Income		Shares		Per-Share			Income		Shares		Per-Share
	(Numerator)		(Denominator)		Amount			(Numerator)		(Denominator)		Amount

Basic EPS	$	3,013		5,977	$	.50		$	2,806		5,923	$	.47

Diluted EPS	$	3,013		6,276	$	.48		$	2,806		6,198	$	.45

	Six Months Ended							Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2005							June 30, 2004
	Income		Shares		Per-Share			Income		Shares		Per-Share
	(Numerator)		(Denominator)		Amount			(Numerator)		(Denominator)		Amount

Basic EPS	$	5,926		5,964	$	.99		$	5,511		5,901	$	.93

Effect of
Dilutive
Options		-		310		(.05	)		-		284		(.04	)

Diluted EPS	$	5,926		6,274	$	.94		$	5,511		6,185	$	.89

All outstanding options were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the average market price of the common shares was greater than the options' exercise price.

4. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) directed its staff to draft FSP FAS 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.” FSP 115-1 will codify the guidance set forth in EITF Topic D-44 and clarify that an investor should recognize an impairment loss no later than when the impairment is deemed other than temporary, even if a decision to sell has not been made. FSP FAS 115-1 will be effective for other-than-temporary impairment analysis conducted in periods beginning after September 15, 2005. Management does not anticipate the issuance of the final consensus will have a material impact on the statements of the Company.

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which changes the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provision. This statement requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific or cumulative effects of the change. Statement No. 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The provisions of this statement are not expected to have a material effect on financial statements of the Company.

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 20". Under APB No. 20 there was an exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets. SFAS No. 153 replaces this exception with a general exception from fair value measurement for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, and shall be applied prospectively. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods after December 2004. The provisions of this statement are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), entitled "Share-Based Payment" that will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the Company's financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS No. 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and its related implementation guidance. The Company currently applies APB No. 25 and related interpretations in the accounting for stock options under the intrinsic value method of APB No. 25 and provides pro forma disclosure of the Company's stock-based compensation expense as currently required by SFAS No. 123. See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement for this pro forma disclosure. Management of the Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) as required on January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective application method. The provisions of this statement are not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the related notes included herein and the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CORPORATE OVERVIEW

Commercial Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company"), a Florida corporation organized in 1988, is a bank holding company whose wholly-owned subsidiary and principal asset is the Commercial Bank of Florida (the "Bank"). The Company, through its ownership of the Bank, is engaged in a commercial banking business. Its primary source of earnings is derived from income generated by its ownership and operation of the Bank. The Bank is a Florida chartered banking corporation with fourteen branch locations throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties in South Florida. The Bank primarily focuses on providing personalized banking services to businesses and individuals within the market areas where its banking offices are located.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004

The Company's net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was $3.01 million, a 7% increase over net income for the same three month period ended June 30, 2004 of $2.81 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.50 and $.48, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $.47 and $.45, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

Results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 showed net income of $5.93 million, an 8% increase over net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $5.51 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.99 and $.94, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $.93 and $.89, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

The Company's second quarter tax-equivalent net interest income increased 8% to $8.63 million, from $7.97 million in the second quarter in 2004. The increase is the result of growth in average earning assets, which have increased 13% to $898 million for the second quarter of 2005, as compared to $796 million for the second quarter of 2004. The tax-equivalent net interest yield for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 3.86%, as compared to 4.03% for the same period in 2004. The decrease in net interest yield is the result of increasing interest rates and the Bank’s liabilities repricing more quickly than its assets. The net interest margin has been calculated on a tax-equivalent basis, which includes an adjustment for interest on tax-exempt securities.

For the six months ended June 30, 2005 tax equivalent net interest income increased 8% to $17 million from $15.7 million the same six-month period one year ago, and the tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased to 3.92% from 4.06% one year ago.

Non-interest income decreased by $84,000, or 12%, for the second quarter of 2005, as compared to the corresponding period in 2004 and decreased by $123,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the same six month period ending June 30, 2004. The decrease in the second quarter is due to a reduction in service charges on deposit accounts of $83,000. The decrease in the six months ended June 30, 2005 is also due to a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of $147,000, partially offset by an increase in other fees and service charges of $24,000, which is primarily related to real estate tax refunds and insurance refunds.

Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2005 increased $122,000, or 3% from the same quarter in 2004, due primarily to increases in salaries and employee benefits and professional fees, partially offset by decreases in insurance expense and other miscellaneous expenses. Salaries and employee benefits increased $171,000, or 7%, due to normal salary adjustments. Professional fees increased $15,000, or 16%, due to an increase in audit fees. Insurance expense decreased by $27,000, or 25%, after the renewal of certain policies which resulted in premium reductions. Other miscellaneous expenses decreased $58,000, or 11%, due to a reclassification of contingent liabilities.

Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $277,000, or 3%, from the six months ended June 30, 2004 due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits and furniture and equipment, partially offset by a decrease in insurance expense. Salaries and employee benefits increased $286,000, or 5%, due to normal salary adjustments. Furniture and equipment increased $46,000, or 11%, due to an increase in the maintenance of the Bank’s fourteen branch locations. Insurance expense decreased $46,000, or 22%, after the renewal of several policies which resulted in premium reductions.

Company management continually reviews and evaluates the allowance for loan losses. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (“allowance”), 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 was $4.89 million at June 30, 2005, as compared with $4.77 million at March 31, 2005 and $4.75 million at December 31, 2004. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 the allowance was increased with a provision for loan losses of $120,000 and increased by approximately $1,000 in net recoveries. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the allowance was increased with a provision for loan losses of $65,000 and increased by approximately $7,000 in net recoveries. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the allowance was increased with a provision for loan losses of $140,000 and increased by approximately $3,000 in net recoveries. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the allowance was increased with a provision for loan losses of $24,000 and increased by approximately $137,000 in net recoveries. The allowance as a percentage of total loans has decreased to 1.00% at June 30, 2005, from 1.03% at March 31, 2005 and 1.03% at December 31, 2004. Based on the nature of the loan portfolio and prevailing economic factors, management believes that the current level of the allowance is sufficient to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio.

Approximately $301 million, or 61%, of total loans was secured by non-residential real estate, and $130 million, or 27%, of total loans was secured by residential real estate as of June 30, 2005. Virtually all loans are within the Company's markets in Miami-Dade and Broward counties.

The Company had no non-accrual loans at June 30, 2005 or June 30, 2004.

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. At June 30, 2005 loan commitments totaled $53.8 million. 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. The Bank's 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 $144 million, and Federal Funds purchased lines available at correspondent banks amounting to $23 million as of June 30, 2005.

The Bank's primary use of funds is to originate loans and purchase investment securities. The Bank purchased $45 million of investment securities during the first six months of 2005, and loans increased by $30 million. Funding for the above came from increases in deposits of $67 million, an increase in securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $8 million and increases from proceeds of maturities and prepayments of investment securities of $17 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, Tier 2 Capital, and Leverage Ratios of the Company were 12.68%, 13.90%, and 7.71%, respectively, as of June 30, 2005.

The Company's critical accounting policies are disclosed on page 16 of its 2004 Annual Report under the heading Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which report is filed with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to valuation of the loan portfolio. Since the date of the 2004 Annual Report, there have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies.

The actual results of the Company could differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statement because of various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the Company's effective and timely initiation and development of new client relationships, the maintenance of existing client relationships and programs, the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, possible or proposed products, branch offices, or strategic plans, the ability to increase sales of Company products and to increase deposits, the adequacy of cash flows from operations and available financing to fund capital needs and future growth, changes in management's estimate of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, changes in the overall mix of the Company's loan and deposit products, the impact of repricing and competitors' pricing initiatives on loan and deposit products as well as other changes in competition, the extent of defaults, the extent of losses given such defaults, the amount of lost interest income that may result in the event of a severe recession, the status of the national economy and the South Florida economy in particular, the impact that changing interest rates have on the Company's net interest margin, changes in governmental rules and regulations applicable to the Company and other risks in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange commission. The Company cautions that its discussion of these matters is further qualified, as these risks and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control. In many cases, the Company cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.

The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this filing.

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 June 30, 2005.

(1) Investment securities include equity investment in the Federal Reserve Board and Federal Home Loan Bank.

Management's assumptions reflect the Bank's estimate of the anticipated repricing sensitivity of non-maturity deposit products. Money market accounts have been allocated 25% to the "91-181 days" category, 25% to the "182-365 days" category, and 50% to the "over 1 year" category. Interest checking and savings are allocated to the "over 1 year" category. If non-maturing deposits had been shown at their contractual term (90 days or less column), the cumulative gap as a percentage of total earning assets would have been -20.6%, -21.5%, -20.3% and 21.6% for 90 days or less, 91-181 days, 182-365 days and over 1 year, respectively.

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 June 30, 2005, the Bank's simulation analysis projects a decrease to net interest income of 5.94%, 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 increase by 5.01%. These projected levels are within the Bank's policy limits.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2005, the Company's management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defied in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

The work undertaken by the Company to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 involved the identification, documentation, assessment and testing of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in order to evaluate the effectiveness of such controls.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
