Explanatory Note:

Mr. Daniel is filing this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (the “Amendment No. 2”) to amend Item 3 and Item 5 of the Schedule 13D filed by Mr. Daniel on July 11, 2016 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D filed by Mr. Daniel on April 4, 2017 (“Amendment No. 1”) 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 (as amended by Amendment No. 1) by virtue of Mr. Daniel no longer owning any of such share individually and no longer having an indirect beneficial ownership interest in such shares through the Daniel Family Partnership. Except as specifically amended hereby, the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1, 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, 9,246 shares are owned by Mr. Daniel’s spouse. The purchase price for these shares was $46,230.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) As of May 16, 2017, Mr. Daniel beneficially owned, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 9,246 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock constituting approximately 0.001% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as of May 16, 2017, based on the number of outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock as of May 5, 2017, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2017.
