NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)

indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1996.

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 $11.2 million or 19% since December 31, 1995. The growth in
total assets has been funded by increases in deposits of $8.4 million, federal
funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $2.1
million, and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings of $2.0 million since December
31, 1995.
Loans have increased $7.3 million or 17% during the first six months of 1996.
Investment securities have increased $3.7 million or 33% 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 September 30,
1996 amounted to $246,000, up from $4,000 at December 31, 1995. The majority of
this increase is reflected in a very small number of loans for which management
does not expect any significant losses. Management does not believe this
increase reflects a general deterioration in the loan portfolio. Diversification
within the loan portfolio is an important means of reducing inherent lending
risks. At September 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 September 30, 1996.

<PAGE> 8
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is adequate with cash and due from banks of $3.1 million and federal
funds sold of $1.1 million as of September 30, 1996. In addition, loans and
investment securities repricing or maturing in one year or less exceed $19
million at September 30, 1996. The Bank has approximately $128,000 in loan
commitments that are expected to be funded within the next six months and other
commitments, primarily standby letters of credit, of approximately $117,000 at
September 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 September 30, 1996, is $7.6 million or approximately
10.7% of total assets. The Company's capital position is adequate to meet the
minimum capital requirements as of September 30, 1996 for all regulatory
agencies. The company's capital ratios as of September 30, 1996, are as follows:
Tier 1 leverage 10.7%
Tier 1 risk-based 16.5%
Total risk-based 17.8%
During the third quarter of 1996 the Company purchased and retired 38,000 shares
of its common stock for $25.00 per share. The subsidiary bank paid a dividend of
$942,500 to the parent company to fund this purchase. In addition, in order to
facilitate additional purchases of Company stock, the Company has obtained a
line of credit of $1,500,000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had net income of $239,000 in the third quarter of 1996 compared to
$185,000 in the third quarter of 1995. The Company's net income was $618,000 for
the first three quarters of 1996 compared to $385,000 for the first three
quarters of 1995. Both of these increases are primarily attributable to the
increase in net interest income of $109,000, or 14%, for the third quarter of
1996 and $353,000, or 17%, through the first nine months of 1996, as well as a
slightly lower provision for loan losses in the third quarter and year-to-date
1996.
Interest income and interest expense both increased dramatically from 1995 to
1996 because of the increase in earning assets and deposits from September 30,
1995 to September 30, 1996. The growth in non-interest income for the first nine
months of 1996 reflects the increase in deposits during 1995 and 1996. Data
processing expense increased by $48,000 or 40% for the first nine 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 in FDIC insurance resulting
from the Bank's decreased assessment rate.

<PAGE> 9
The provision for loan losses was $46,000 in the third quarter of 1996 compared
to $60,000 in 1995 and $121,000 in the first nine months of 1996 compared to
$174,000 in the first nine 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 $615,000 at September 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.
