Explanatory Note:

Mr. Daniel is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (the “Amendment No. 1”) to amend Item 3 and Item 5 of the Schedule 13D filed by Mr. Daniel on July 11, 2016 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) for the purpose of reporting that Mr. Daniel no longer beneficially owns certain shares of the common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of Community First, Inc. (the “Issuer”) previously reflected as being beneficially owned by Mr. Daniel in the Original Schedule 13D by virtue of Mr. Daniel no longer serving as a custodian with respect to such shares. Except as specifically amended hereby, the Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration:

Mr. Daniel entered into a Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement, dated April 26, 2016 (the “Conversion Agreement”), with the Issuer and the other holders of the Fixed Rate, Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) of the Issuer pursuant to which each holder of the Issuer’s Series A Preferred Stock, including Mr. Daniel, agreed to exchange such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock for shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion Agreement, on June 30, 2016, Mr. Daniel exchanged the 3,259 shares of Series A Preferred Stock he owned for 445,968 shares of Common Stock. Of the aggregate shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Daniel, 101,002 shares are owned by the Daniel Family Partnership, a family general partnership for which Mr. Daniel has sole power among the partners to vote or dispose of the shares of Common Stock owned by the partnership and 9,246 shares are owned by Mr. Daniel’s spouse. The balance of the Common Stock reported as being owned by Mr. Daniel in this schedule, other than the shares issued pursuant to the Conversion Agreement or owned by the Daniel Family Partnership or Mr. Daniel’s wife, was acquired with personal funds of Mr. Daniel, for a total aggregate purchase price of approximately $565,800. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock exchanged for shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Conversion Agreement were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $1,291,000, which funds were borrowed from the Daniel Family Partnership and have since been repaid.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) As of March 23, 2017, Mr. Daniel beneficially owned, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 612,910 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (including options currently exercisable to acquire 1,200 shares of Common Stock) constituting approximately 12.20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as of March 23, 2017, based on the number of outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock as of March 3, 2017, as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 3, 2017.

(b) Mr. Daniel has sole voting and dispositive power for 603,664 of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned and he shares voting or dispositive power with respect to 9,246 shares beneficially owned, all of which are owned by Anne Herbert Daniel, Mr. Daniel’s spouse.

Anne Herbert Daniel is a citizen of the United States of America who resides at 4682 Bass Alderson Road, Williamsport, Tennessee 38487. Ms. Daniel currently is retired.
