REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
Board of Directors
Community Bancorp. and Designated Subsidiaries Retirement Savings Plan
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Community Bancorp. and Designated Subsidiaries Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Community Bancorp. and Designated Subsidiaries Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplementary information is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SUBSIDIARIES RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
 
Notes to Financial Statements
 
December 31, 2006 and 2005


1. 
 Description of Plan

The following description of the Community Bancorp. and Designated Subsidiaries Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of Community National Bank, a subsidiary of Community Bancorp (the Bank) who have attained age 21 and have completed one year of service. Under the provisions of the Plan, investment activity is directed by individual participants. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions

Participants may contribute up to the maximum amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Bank matches employee contributions up to five percent of annual compensation. The Bank may also make additional discretionary contributions. Contributions are subject to certain limitations.

Administrative Expenses

Employer contributions include $29,334 toward administrative expenses subsequently paid by the Plan.

 
 2.   Summary of Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.
 
 

 
 3  Investments
 
The Plan’s investments are recorded at their fair values determined by quoted market prices. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.

Investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets are as follows:

 
 
2006
   
2005
 
             
Security
           
             
Community Bancorp. Common Stock
  $

913,664
 
American Balanced Fund

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund
   
1,715,488
     
1,584,428
 
EuroPacific Growth Fund
   
771,682
     
464,235
 

During 2006, the Plan's investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) decreased in value by $336,697 as follows:


Mutual funds
  $
409,788
 
Marketable equity securities
    (746,485 )
         
    $ (336,697 )
 
 
4.
Tax Status

The Plan obtained its latest determination letter dated August 23, 2002, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

 
5.  Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, Community National Bank has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100 percent vested in their employer contributions.

 
6.  Party-In-Interest Transactions

Community Financial Services Group (CFSG) is the Plan’s custodian. Community National Bank, the plan sponsor, owns 33 1/3% of CFSG.

The Plan allows for employee contributions to be invested in common stock of the parent of the plan sponsor, Community Bancorp. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Plan held 306,993 and 289,819 shares, respectively, valued at $4,144,406 and $4,637,104, respectively.

There were no party-in-interest transactions which are prohibited by ERISA Section 406 and for which there is no statutory or administrative exemption.

 
7.  Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
