ITEM NO. 2 MANAGEMENT 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 grown in total assets to $118 million at September
30, 2000.
Loans have increased $4.7 million or 5.0% during the first nine months of 2000.
The increased loans were funded through an effort to increase core deposits
during the first three quarters of 2000.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND RISK ELEMENTS. Nonperforming assets consist of (1)
nonaccrual loans where the recognition of interest was discontinued, (2) loans
which have been restructured to provide for a reduction or deferral of interest
or principal because the borrower's financial condition deteriorated, and (3)
foreclosed and repossessed assets. Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2000
amounted to $50,000 or .05% of total loans, an increase from $40,000 or .04%
of total loans at December 31, 1999. Diversification within the loan portfolio
is an important means of reducing inherent lending risks. At September 30, 2000,
the Bank had no concentrations of ten percent or more of total loans in any
single industry nor in 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 has $123,000 of other real estate owned
as of September 30, 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is adequate with cash and due from banks of $4.0 million. In addition,
loans and investment securities repricing or maturing within one year or less
exceed $34.9 million at September 30, 2000. The Bank has approximately $6.4
million in loan commitments that are expected to be funded within the next six
months and other commitments, primarily standby letters of credit, of
approximately $102,000 at September 30, 2000. In addition to the Federal Home
Loan Bank membership from which the Bank has unused borrowing capacity of $9.7
million, the Bank has established federal funds lines of credit with three
correspondent banks totaling $14.0 million to meet unexpected liquidity demands.
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, 2000, is $10.570 million or approximately
9.0% of total assets. The Bank's capital position is adequate to meet the
minimum capital requirements for all regulatory agencies. The Bank's capital
ratios as of September 30, 2000, are as follows:
Tier 1 leverage 9.08%
Tier 1 risk-based 9.92%
Total risk-based 11.68%

<PAGE> 9
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had net income of $880,000 for the nine months ending September 30,
2000, compared with $884,000 for the same period last year, resulting in a
decrease of .4%.
Interest income and interest expense both increased from 1999 to 2000 resulting
from the increase in earning assets and as a result of increases in the prime
rate. Consequently, net interest income decreased $55,000 for the three months
ending September 30, 2000, or an decrease of 4.5%. Earning assets through
September 30, 2000 increased $5.3 million while interest-bearing liabilities
increased $.6 million compared to December 31, 1999, reflecting an increase of
4.9% and .6%, respectively.
Noninterest income for the nine months ending September 30, 2000 was $849,000
compared to $712,000 for the same period in 1999 reflecting an increase of
$137,000 or 19.3%. Noninterest income consists mainly of service charges on
deposit accounts, credit life insurance commissions, and secondary mortgage
processing fees. Service charges on deposit accounts for the nine months ending
September 30, 2000 was $470,000 compared with $460,000 for the same period in
1999 reflecting a increase of 2.2%.
The provision for loan losses was $127,000 during the nine months ending
September 30, 2000 compared with $197,000 for the same period in 1999. The
allowance for loan losses of $980,000 at September 30, 2000 (approximately 1.00%
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.
