ITEM NO. 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
First Community Bank of East Tennessee (the "Bank") represents virtually all of
the assets of First Community Corporation (the "Company"). The Bank, which was
opened in April of 1993, has continued to experience growth during 1996. Total
assets have grown $9.4 million or 16% since December 31, 1995. The growth in
total assets has been funded by increases in deposits of $7.1 million and
federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase of
$2.1 million since December 31, 1995.
Loans have increased $3.4 million or 8% during the first six months of 1996.
Investment securities have increased $4.0 million or 36% since December 31,
1995.
Due to a regulatory change eliminating unrealized gain or loss on
available-for-sale securities from regulatory capital, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued a Special Report allowing a one-time opportunity
for security transfers between held-to-maturity and available-for-sale without
affecting the carrying value of other securities in the investment portfolio.
In December, 1995, management reassessed its classification of investment
securities and transferred, at fair value, $8,942, 000 of investment securities
from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale. The reclassification provides
management greater flexibility in managing liquidity and in changing the Bank's
earning asset mix.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND RISK ELEMENTS. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 1996
amounted to $151,000, up from $4,000 at December 31, 1995. Diversification
within the loan portfolio is an important means of reducing inherent lending
risks. At June 30, 1996, the Bank had no concentrations of ten percent or more
of total loans in any single industry nor any geographical area outside the
immediate market area of the Bank.
The Bank discontinues the accrual of interest on loans which become ninety days
past due (principal and/or interest), unless the loans are adequately secured
and in the process of collection. Other real estate owned is carried at fair
value, determined by an appraisal. A loan is classified as a restructured loan
when the interest rate is materially reduced or the term is extended beyond the
original maturity date because of the inability of the borrower to service the
debt under the original terms. The Bank had no restructured loans or other
real estate at June 30, 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is adequate with cash and due from banks of $3.0 million and federal
funds sold of $3.2 million as of June 30, 1996. In addition, loans and
investment securities repricing or maturing in one year or less exceed $21
million at June 30, 1996. The Bank has approximately $172,000 in loan
7
<PAGE> 8
commitments that are expected to be funded within the next six months and other
commitments, primarily standby letters of credit, of approximately $87,000 at
June 30, 1996. With the exception of unfunded loan commitments, there are no
known trends or any known commitments or uncertainties that will result in the
Bank's liquidity increasing or decreasing in a material way. In addition, the
Company is not aware of any recommendations by any regulatory authorities which
would have a material effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or
results of operations.
Total equity capital at June 30, 1996, is $8.3 million or approximately 12.0%
of total assets. The Company's capital position is adequate to meet the
minimum capital requirements as of June 30, 1996 for all regulatory agencies.
The company's capital ratios as of June 30, 1996, are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Tier 1 leverage 12.0%
Tier 1 risk-based 15.9%
Total risk-based 17.0%
</TABLE>
During July of 1996 the Company purchased and retired 33,107 shares of its
common stock for $25.00 per share. The subsidiary bank paid a dividend of
$802,500 to the parent company to fund this purchase. In addition, in order to
facilitate additional purchases of Company stock, the Company plans to obtain a
line of credit of $1,500,000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had net income of $193,000 in the second quarter of 1996 compared
to $117,000 in the second quarter of 1995. The Company's net income was
$379,000 in the first half of 1996 compared to $200,000 in the first half of
1995. Net interest income was up $94,000, or 13%, for the second quarter of
1996 compared to 1995 and up $244,000, or 18%, through the first six months of
1996 compared to 1995.
Interest income and interest expense both increased dramatically from 1995 to
1996 because of the increase in earning assets and deposits from June 30, 1995
to June 30, 1996. The growth in non-interest income for the first six months
of 1996 reflects the increase in deposits during 1995 and 1996. Data
processing expense increased by $21,000 or 26% for the first six months of 1996
over the same period a year earlier primarily because of additional expenses
related to a change in January, 1996 of the data processing servicer. However,
this increase was more than offset by a decrease of $44,000 in FDIC insurance
resulting from the Bank's decreased assessment rate.
The provision for loan losses was $45,000 in the second quarter of 1996
compared to $75,000 in 1995 and $75,000 in the first six months of 1996
compared to $114,000 in the first six months of 1995. The higher provisions
for loan losses in 1995 reflect a higher growth in loans both on a percentage
and absolute dollar basis in 1995. The allowance for loan losses of $566,000
at June 30, 1996 (approximately 1.25% of loans) is considered by management to
be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management
evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses monthly and makes
provisions for loan losses based on this evaluation.
