	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Certain prior period information has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, and these reclassifications had no impact on net income or equity as previously reported.  Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
	The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-10, Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (“ASU 2013-10”).  The amendments in this update permit the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) to be used as a benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting in addition to UST and LIBOR. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges.

	First Financial Holdings, Inc. Merger
	On July 26, 2013, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of First Financial Holdings, Inc. (“First Financial” or “FFCH”), of Charleston, South Carolina, the bank holding company for First Federal Bank (“First Federal”), in a stock transaction.  First Financial common shareholders received 0.4237 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of First Financial common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 7,018,274 shares of its common stock.  Each outstanding share of First Financial Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (“First Financial Preferred Stock”), was converted into the right to receive one share of preferred stock of SCBT, designated Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock and having such rights, preferences and privileges as are not materially less favorable than the rights, preferences and privileges of the First Financial Preferred Stock.  In total, the purchase price for the First Financial acquisition was $447.0 million including $65.0 million in preferred stock and the value of “in the money” outstanding stock options (i.e., stock options for which the exercise price of the stock option is below the market price of the underlying stock) totaling $530,000.
	The First Financial transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date.  Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to a year after the closing date of the acquisition.
	The following table presents the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of July 26, 2013, as recorded by First Financial on the acquisition date and initial fair value adjustments.

	Assumption of preferred stock	65,000
	Fair value of total consideration transferred	$	446,953
	Explanation of fair value adjustments
	(a)—Adjustment reflects marking the securities portfolio to fair value as of the acquisition date.
	(b)—Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustments based on the Company’s evaluation of the acquired loan portfolio and excludes the allowance for loan losses recorded by First Financial.
	(c)—Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustments based on the Company’s evaluation of the acquired premises and equipment.
	(d)—Adjustment reflects the recording of the core deposit intangible on the acquired deposit accounts and other intangibles for credit cards and customer lists.
	(e)—Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustments to OREO based on the Company’s evaluation of the acquired OREO portfolio.
	(f)—Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustments to the FDIC receivable for loss sharing agreements based on the Company’s evaluation of the losses on the acquired assets covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC net of any clawback.
	(g) —Adjustment to record deferred tax asset related to fair value adjustments at 35.8% income tax rate.
	(h)—Adjustment reflects uncollectible portion of accrued interest receivable and loan fees receivable.
	(i)—Adjustment arises since the rates on interest-bearing deposits are higher than rates available on similar deposits as of the acquisition date.
	(j)— Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustment which was equal to the prepayment fee paid to fully pay off the FHLB advances on July 26, 2013. This fair value adjustment and the fair value adjustment of the junior subordinated debt was determined based upon interest rates.
	(k)— Adjustment reflects the reclassification of the clawback to net against the FDIC receivable, the incremental accrual for employee related benefits, lease liabilities, and adjustment of other miscellaneous accruals.
	The operating results of the Company for the period ended September 30, 2013, include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities for the 66 days subsequent to the acquisition date of July 26, 2013.  Merger-related charges of $10.4 million are recorded in the consolidated statement of income and include incremental costs related to closing the acquisition, including legal, accounting and auditing, investment banker cost, termination of certain employment related contracts, travel costs, printing, supplies and other costs.
	The following table discloses the impact of the merger with First Financial (excluding the impact of merger-related expenses) since the acquisition on July 26, 2013 through September 30, 2013.  The table also presents certain proforma information as if FFCH had been acquired on January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2012.  These results combine the historical results of FFCH in the Company’s consolidated statement of income and, while certain adjustments were made for the estimated impact of certain fair value adjustments and other acquisition-related activity, they are not indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 2013 or January 1, 2012.
	Merger-related costs of $13.2 million from the Savannah and FFCH acquisitions are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and are not included in the pro forma information below.  In particular, no adjustments have been made to the pro formas to eliminate the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 of FFCH in the amount of $8.3 million and $16.0 million, respectively.  No adjustments have been made to reduce the impact of any OREO write downs recognized by FFCH in either the nine month periods of 2013 or 2012. In addition, expenses related to systems conversions and other costs of integration are expected to be recorded in the remainder of 2013 and during 2014.  The Company expects to achieve further operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition which are not reflected in the proforma amounts below:

	On December 13, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of The Savannah Bancorp, Inc. (“Savannah”), a bank holding company based in Savannah, Georgia, in a stock transaction.  Savannah common shareholders received 0.2503 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of Savannah common stock, resulting in the Company issuing 1,802,137 shares of common stock.  In total, the purchase price for the Savannah acquisition was $68.9 million including the value of “in the money” outstanding stock options (i.e., stock options for which the exercise price of the stock option is below the market price of the underlying stock) totaling $63,000.
	The Savannah transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date.  Fair values are preliminary and subject to refinement for up to a year after the closing date of the acquisition.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.  Consideration is given to (1) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (2) the outlook for receiving the contractual cash flows of the investments, (3) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (4) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value or for a debt security whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the debt security prior to recovering its fair value, and (5) the anticipated outlook for changes in the general level of interest rates.  All securities available for sale in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2013 continue to perform as scheduled.  As part of the Company’s evaluation of its intent and ability to hold investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market, the Company considers its investment strategy, cash flow needs, liquidity position, capital adequacy and interest rate risk position.  The Company does not currently intend to sell the securities within the portfolio and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the debt securities; therefore, management does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2013.   Management continues to monitor all of these securities with a high degree of scrutiny.  There can be no assurance that the Company will not conclude in future periods that conditions existing at that time indicate some or all of these securities may be sold or are other than temporarily impaired, which would require a charge to earnings in such periods.

Income on acquired FASB ASC Topic 310-30 loans that are not impaired at the acquisition date is recognized in the same manner as loans impaired at the acquisition date. A portion of the fair value discount on acquired non-impaired loans has been ascribed as an accretable yield that is accreted into interest income over the estimated remaining life of the loans. The remaining nonaccretable difference represents cash flows not expected to be collected.

On December 13, 2006, the FDIC, Federal Reserve, OCC, and other regulatory agencies collectively revised the banking agencies’ 1993 policy statement on the allowance for loan and lease losses to ensure consistency with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and more recent supervisory guidance.  Our loan loss policy adheres to the interagency guidance.
The allowance for loan losses is based upon estimates made by management.  We maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level that we believe is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans that are determined to be impaired as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of our loan portfolio.  Arriving at the allowance involves a high degree of management judgment and results in a range of estimated losses.  We regularly evaluate the adequacy of the allowance through our internal risk rating system, outside credit review, and regulatory agency examinations to assess the quality of the loan portfolio and identify problem loans.  The evaluation process also includes our analysis of current economic conditions, composition of the loan portfolio, past due and nonaccrual loans, concentrations of credit, lending policies and procedures, and historical loan loss experience.  While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on, among other factors, changes in economic conditions in our markets.  In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowances for losses on loans.  These agencies may require management to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.  Because of these and other factors, it is possible that the allowances for losses on loans may change.  The provision for loan losses is charged to expense in an amount necessary to maintain the allowance at an appropriate level.
The allowance for loan losses on non-acquired loans consists of general and specific reserves.  The general reserves are determined by applying loss percentages to the portfolio that are based on historical loss experience for each class of loans and management’s evaluation and “risk grading” of the loan portfolio.  Additionally, the general economic and business conditions affecting key lending areas, credit quality trends, collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, the findings of internal and external credit reviews and results from external bank regulatory examinations are included in this evaluation. Currently, these adjustments are applied to the non-acquired loan portfolio when estimating the level of reserve required.  The specific reserves are determined on a loan-by-loan basis based on management’s evaluation of our exposure for each credit, given the current payment status of the loan and the value of any underlying collateral.  These are loans classified by management as doubtful or substandard. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Generally, the need for specific reserve is evaluated on impaired loans greater than $250,000, and once a specific reserve is established for a loan, a charge off of that amount occurs in the quarter subsequent to the establishment of the specific reserve. Loans that are determined to be impaired are provided a specific reserve, if necessary, and are excluded from the calculation of the general reserves.
With the FFCH acquisition, the Company segregated the loan portfolio into performing loans and purchased credit impaired loans.  The performing loans and revolving type loans are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-20, with each loan being accounted for individually.  The allowance for loan losses on these loans will be measured and recorded consistent with non-acquired loans.  The purchased credit impaired loans will follow the description in the next paragraph.
In determining the acquisition date fair value of purchased loans, and in subsequent accounting, SCBT generally aggregates purchased loans into pools of loans with common risk characteristics.  Expected cash flows at the acquisition date in excess of the fair value of loans are recorded as interest income over the life of the loans using a level yield method if the timing and amount of the future cash flows of the pool is reasonably estimable.  Subsequent to the acquisition date, increases in cash flows over those expected at the acquisition date are reclassified from the non-accretable difference to accretable yield and recognized as interest income prospectively.  Decreases in expected cash flows after the acquisition date are recognized by recording an allowance for loan losses.  Management analyzes the acquired loan pools using various assessments of risk to determine an expected loss.  The expected loss is derived based upon a loss given default based upon the collateral type and/or detailed review by loan officers of loans greater than $25,000 and the probability of default that is determined based upon historical data at the loan level.  The Company changed the threshold of loans reviewed from $500,000 during the second quarter to more accurately derive the expected loss in pools where there are few, if any, loans greater than $500,000. Trends are reviewed in terms of accrual status, past due status, and weighted-average grade of the loans within each of the accounting pools.  In addition, the relationship between the change in the unpaid principal balance and change in the mark is assessed to correlate the directional consistency of the expected loss for each pool.  Offsetting the impact of the provision established for acquired loans covered under FDIC loss share agreements, the receivable from the FDIC is adjusted to reflect the indemnified portion of the post-acquisition exposure with a corresponding credit to the provision for loan losses.  (For further discussion of the Company’s allowance for loan losses on acquired loans, see “Business Combinations and Method of Accounting for Loans Acquired” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.)

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i)  the level of classified loans, (ii) net charge-offs, (iii) non-performing loans (see details below) and (iv) the general economic conditions of the markets that we serve.
The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows:
·      Pass—These loans range from minimal credit risk to average however still acceptable credit risk.
·      Special mention—A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position at some future date.
·      Substandard—A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that may jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. A substandard loan is characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
·      Doubtful—A doubtful loan has all of the weaknesses inherent in one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of the currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

The risk grading of FASB ASC Topic 310-30 acquired loans is determined utilizing a loan’s contractual balance, while the amount recorded in the financial statements and reflected above is the carrying value. In an FDIC-assisted acquisition, covered acquired loans are initially recorded at their fair value, including a credit discount due to the high concentration of substandard and doubtful loans. In addition to the credit discount and the allowance for loan losses on covered acquired loans, the Company’s risk of loss is mitigated by the FDIC loss share arrangement.
The following table presents an aging analysis of past due loans, segregated by class for non-acquired loans:

In the course of resolving delinquent loans, the Bank may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans.  Any loans that are modified are reviewed by the Bank to determine if a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR” or “restructured loan”) has occurred.  A TDR is a modification in which the Bank grants a concession to a borrower that it would not otherwise consider due to economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties.  The concessions granted on TDRs generally include terms to reduce the interest rate, extend the term of the debt obligation, or modify the payment structure on the debt obligation.
The Bank designates loan modifications as TDRs when it grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider due to the borrower experiencing financial difficulty (ASC Topic 310.40). Loans on nonaccrual status at the date of modification are initially classified as nonaccrual TDRs. Loans on accruing status at the date of concession are initially classified as accruing TDRs if the note is reasonably assured of repayment and performance is expected in accordance with its modified terms. Such loans may be designated as nonaccrual loans subsequent to the concession date if reasonable doubt exists as to the collection of interest or principal under the restructuring agreement. Nonaccrual TDRs are returned to accruing status when there is economic substance to the restructuring, there is documented credit evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, the remaining balance is reasonably assured of repayment in accordance with its modified terms, and the borrower has demonstrated sustained repayment performance in accordance with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time (generally a minimum of six months).
The following table presents non-acquired loans designated as TDRs segregated by class and type of concession that were restructured during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

	Reimbursements from FDIC	(39,066		)	(88,773		)
	Balance at end of period	$	115,773		$	174,321
	The FDIC indemnification asset is measured separately from the related covered assets.  At September 30, 2013, the projected cash flows related to the FDIC indemnification asset for losses on assets acquired were approximately $39.0 million less than the current carrying value.  This amount is being recognized as negative accretion (in non-interest income) over the shorter of the underlying asset’s remaining life or remaining term of the loss share agreements.  Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Company expects to receive $12.5 million from loss share claims filed, including reimbursable expenses.
	Included in the FDIC indemnification asset is an expected “true up” with the FDIC related to both the BankMeridian, N.A. (“BankMeridian”)(acquired by SCBT in July 2011) and Plantation Financial Corporation (“Plantation”) (originally acquired by FFCH in April 2012) acquisitions.  This amount is determined each reporting period and at September 30, 2013, was estimated to be approximately $3.7 million related to the BankMeridian acquisition at the end of the loss share agreement (July 2021) and $3.4 million related to the Plantation acquisition at the end of the loss share agreement (April 2017).  The actual payment will be determined at the end of the loss sharing agreement term for each of the five FDIC-assisted acquisitions and is based on the negative bid, expected losses, intrinsic loss estimate, and assets covered under loss share.  There was no true up expected from the Community Bank & Trust (“CBT”), Cape Fear Bank (“Cape Fear”), or Habersham Bank (“Habersham”) FDIC-assisted transactions as of September 30, 2013.
	On July 26, 2013, the Company completed the previously announced merger with First Financial, the bank holding company for The Bank. The Bank has loss sharing agreements with the FDIC related to the Cape Fear (originally acquired by FFCH in April 2009) and Plantation acquisitions which afford The Bank significant protection regarding certain acquired assets. Under the loss sharing agreement for Cape Fear, The Bank assumes the first $32.4 million of losses and the FDIC reimburses The Bank for 80% of the losses greater than $32.4 million and up to $110.0 million. On losses exceeding $110.0 million, the FDIC will reimburse The Bank for 95% of the losses. Under the loss sharing agreement for Plantation, The Bank shares in the losses on certain commercial loans and commercial OREO in three tranches. On losses up to $55.0 million, the FDIC reimburses The Bank for 80% of all eligible losses; The Bank absorbs losses greater than $55.0 million up to $65.0 million; and the FDIC reimburses The Bank for 60% of all eligible losses in excess of $65.0 million. The expected reimbursements under the loss sharing agreement are recorded in the note above.

	The Company and the Bank provide certain retirement benefits to their employees in the form of a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan and an employees’ savings plan.  The non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covers all employees hired on or before December 31, 2005, who have attained age 21, and who have completed a year of eligible service.  Employees hired on or after January 1, 2006 are not eligible to participate in the non-contributory defined benefit pension plan.  On this date, a new benefit formula applies only to participants who have not attained age 45 or who do not have five years of service.
	Effective July 1, 2009, the Company suspended the accrual of benefits for pension plan participants under the non-contributory defined benefit plan.  The pension plan remained suspended as of September 30, 2013.
	The components of net periodic pension expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

	The Company contributed $300,000 and $900,000 to the pension plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and anticipates making similar additional contributions during the remainder of the year.
	Electing employees are eligible to participate in the employees’ savings plan, under the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k), after attaining age 21.  Plan participants elect to contribute portions of their annual base compensation as a before tax contribution.  Employer contributions may be made from current or accumulated net profits. Participants may elect to contribute 1% to 50% of annual base compensation as a before tax contribution. Effective September 1, 2012, employees participating in the plan receive a 100% matching of their 401(k) plan contribution, up to 5% of salary. Prior to September 1, 2012, participating employees received a 50% matching of their 401(k) plan contribution, up to 6% of salary.  The Company expensed $871,000 and $418,000 for the 401(k) plan during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The Company expensed $2.1 million and $1.1 million for the 401(k) plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Employees hired on January 1, 2006 or thereafter will not participate in the defined benefit pension plan, but are eligible to participate in the employees’ savings plan.
	Employees can enter the savings plan on or after the first day of each month.  The employee may enter into a salary deferral agreement at any time to select an alternative deferral amount or to elect not to defer in the plan.  If the employee does not elect an investment allocation, the plan administrator will select a retirement-based portfolio according to the employee’s number of years until normal retirement age.  The plan’s investment valuations are generally provided on a daily basis.

	Note 11 — Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during each period, excluding non-vested shares.  The Company’s diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during each period plus the maximum dilutive effect of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted shares.  The weighted-average number of shares and equivalents are determined after giving retroactive effect to stock dividends and stock splits.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

	The Company’s 1999, 2004, and 2012 share-based compensation programs are long-term retention programs intended to attract, retain, and provide incentives for key employees and non-employee directors in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock.
	Stock Options
	With the exception of non-qualified stock options granted to directors under the 1999, 2004, and 2012 plans, which in some cases may be exercised at any time prior to expiration and in some other cases may be exercised at intervals less than a year following the grant date, incentive stock options granted under the plans may not be exercised in whole or in part within a year following the date of the grant, as these incentive stock options become exercisable in 25% increments pro ratably over the four-year period following the grant date.  The options are granted at an exercise price at least equal to the fair value of the common stock at the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant.  No options were granted under the 1999 plan after January 2, 2004, and the 1999 plan is closed other than for any options still unexercised and outstanding.  No options were granted under the 2004 plan after January 26, 2012, and the 2004 plan is closed other than for any options still unexercised and outstanding. The 2012 plan is the only plan from which new share-based compensation grants may be issued.  It is the Company’s policy to grant options out of the 1,684,000 shares registered under the 2012 plan, of which no more than 817,476 shares can be granted as restricted stock or restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

	Restricted Stock
	The Company from time-to-time also grants shares of restricted stock to key employees and non-employee directors.  These awards help align the interests of these employees and directors with the interests of the shareholders of the Company by providing economic value directly related to increases in the value of the Company’s stock.  The value of the stock awarded is established as the fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant.  The Company recognizes expenses, equal to the total value of such awards, ratably over the vesting period of the stock grants.  Restricted stock grants to employees typically “cliff vest” after four years.  Grants to non-employee directors typically vest within a 12-month period.
	Nonvested restricted stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is summarized in the following table.  All information has been retroactively adjusted for stock dividends and stock splits.

	Restricted Stock Units
	The Company from time-to-time also grants performance RSUs to key employees.  These awards help align the interests of these employees with the interests of the shareholders of the Company by providing economic value directly related to the performance of the Company.  Performance RSU grants contain a three year performance period. The Company communicates threshold, target, and maximum performance RSU awards and performance targets to the applicable key employees at the beginning of a performance period. Dividends are not paid in respect to the awards during the performance period.  The value of the RSUs awarded is established as the fair market value of the stock at the time of the grant.  The Company recognizes expenses on a straight-line basis typically over three years based upon the probable performance target that will be met. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company accrued at the target RSU award level, or for 72.7% of the RSUs granted, based on Management’s expectations of performance.

	In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities, which are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements.  The commitments and contingent liabilities include guarantees, commitments to extend credit, and standby letters of credit.  At September 30, 2013, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit totaled $1.4 billion.  The Company does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.
	The Company has been named as defendant in various legal actions, arising from its normal business activities, in which damages in various amounts are claimed. The Company is also exposed to litigation risk related to the prior business activities of banks acquired through whole bank acquisitions as well as banks from which assets were acquired and liabilities assumed in FDIC-assisted transactions. Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, in the opinion of management, any such liability will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value	'
	Note 14 — Fair Value
	FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.
	The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Available for sale securities and derivative contracts are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, impaired loans, OREO, and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
	FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
	Level 1	Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
	Level 2	Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
	Level 3	Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value.
	Investment Securities
	Securities available for sale are valued on a recurring basis at quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange and The NASDAQ Stock Market, or U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities and debentures issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities.  Securities held to maturity are valued at quoted market prices or dealer quotes similar to securities available for sale. The carrying value of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions. The Level 3 security is an unrated single-issue private placement bond that was acquired in the Savannah transaction. This security is considered a Level 3 because there is not an active market for the security. Management considers the credit quality of the underlying issuer in determining the fair value of the security. During the second quarter of 2013, the issuer paid off the security for $3.8 million and the Company realized a $31,000 gain on the payoff of the security.
	Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
	Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors within the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics. As such, the fair value adjustments for mortgage loans held for sale are nonrecurring Level 2.
	Loans
	The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan may be considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses may be established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment using estimated fair value methodologies. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At September 30, 2013, substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral because such loans were considered collateral dependent. Impaired loans, where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral, require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company considers the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company considers the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
	Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”)
	Typically non-covered OREO, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, is reported at fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs (Level 2). However, both non-covered and covered OREO are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because management has qualitatively applied a discount due to the size, supply of inventory, and the incremental discounts applied to the appraisals. Management also considers other factors, including changes in absorption rates, length of time the property has been on the market and anticipated sales values, which have resulted in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in certain appraisals.  At the time of foreclosure, any excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the real estate held as collateral is treated as a charge against the allowance for loan losses. Gains or losses on sale and generally any subsequent adjustments to the value are recorded as a component of OREO expense, net of any FDIC indemnification proceeds in the case of covered OREO.
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	Fair value is estimated using pricing models of derivatives with similar characteristics; accordingly, the derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 16—Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information).
	Mortgage servicing rights(“MSRs”)
	The estimated fair value of MSRs is obtained through an independent derivatives dealer analysis of future cash flows. The evaluation utilizes assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value including market discount rates, prepayment speeds, servicing income, servicing costs, default rates and other market driven data, as well as the market’s perception of future interest rate movements. MSRs are classified as Level 3.

Changes in Level 1, 2 and 3 Fair Value Measurements
There were no transfers between the fair value hierarchy levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
When a determination is made to classify a financial instrument within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement.  However, since Level 3 financial instruments typically include, in addition to the unobservable or Level 3 components, observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources), the gains and losses below include changes in fair value due in part to observable factors that are part of the valuation methodology.
There were no changes in hierarchy classifications of Level 3 assets or liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of Level 3 assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 is as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those models are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The use of different methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012. Such amounts have not been revalued for purposes of these consolidated financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment Securities — Securities held to maturity are valued at quoted market prices or dealer quotes.  The carrying value of FHLB stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions.  The carrying value of the Company’s investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries approximates fair value.  See Note 5—Investment Securities for additional information, as well as page 39 regarding fair value.
Loans — For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential) and other consumer loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current rates offered for new loans of the same type, structure and credit quality. Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered by the Company for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
FDIC Receivable for Loss Share Agreements — The fair value is estimated based on discounted future cash flows using current discount rates.
Deposit Liabilities — The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest bearing checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts, and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase — The carrying amount of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values.
Other Borrowings — The fair value of other borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of instruments.
Accrued Interest — The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
Derivative Financial Instruments — The fair value of derivative financial instruments (including interest rate swaps) is estimated using pricing models of derivatives with similar characteristics.
Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees — The fair values of commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair values of guarantees and letters of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated costs to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.
The estimated fair value, and related carrying amount, of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

	Note 16 — Derivative Financial Instruments
	Cash Flow Hedge of Interest Rate Risk
	The Company is exposed to interest rate risk in the course of its business operations and manages a portion of this risk through the use of a derivative financial instrument in the form of an interest rate swap (cash flow hedge). The Company accounts for this interest rate swap in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires that all derivatives be recognized as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. For more information regarding the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments, see Note 14 to these financial statements.
	The Company utilizes this interest rate swap agreement to convert a portion of its variable-rate debt to a fixed rate (cash flow hedge). For derivatives designated as hedging exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction (cash flow hedge), the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings or when the hedge is terminated. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in earnings immediately. For derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognized in earnings immediately.
	When applying hedge accounting for derivatives, the Company establishes a method for assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and a measurement approach for determining any ineffective aspect of the hedge upon the inception of the hedge.
	During 2009, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $8.0 million to manage interest rate risk due to periodic rate resets on its junior subordinated debt issued by SCBT Capital Trust II, an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company established for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. The Company hedges the variable rate cash flows of subordinated debt against future interest rate increases by using an interest rate swap that effectively fixed the rate on the debt beginning on June 15, 2010, at which time the debt contractually converted from a fixed interest rate to a variable interest rate. This hedge expires on June 15, 2019. The notional amount on which the interest payments are based will not be exchanged. This derivatives contract calls for the Company to pay a fixed rate of 4.06% on $8.0 million notional amount and receive a variable rate of three-month LIBOR on the $8.0 million notional amount.
	The Company recognized an after-tax unrealized gain on its cash flow hedge in other comprehensive income of less than $1,000 and $281,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The Company recognized an after-tax unrealized loss on its cash flow hedge in other comprehensive income of $41,000 and $117,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.  The Company recognized a $1.0 million and a $1.6 million cash flow hedge liability in other liabilities on the balance sheet at September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There was no ineffectiveness in the cash flow hedge during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
	Credit risk related to the derivative arises when amounts receivable from the counterparty (derivatives dealer) exceed those payable. The Company controls the risk of loss by only transacting with derivatives dealers that are national market makers whose credit ratings are strong. Each party to the interest rate swap is required to provide collateral in the form of cash or securities to the counterparty when the counterparty’s exposure to a mark-to-market replacement value exceeds certain negotiated limits. These limits are typically based on current credit ratings and vary with ratings changes.  As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company was required to provide $1.1 million and $1.6 million of collateral, respectively, which is included in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet as interest-bearing deposits with banks. Also, the Company has a netting agreement with the counterparty.
	Non-designated Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
	As of September 30, 2013, the Company has two interest rate swap contracts that were classified as non-designated hedges that were acquired through the merger transaction with Savannah.  These derivatives are not designated as hedges and are not speculative in nature.  One of the derivatives is an interest rate swap that was executed with a commercial borrower to facilitate a respective risk management strategy and allow the customer to pay a fixed rate of interest to the Company.  This interest rate swap was simultaneously hedged by executing an offsetting interest rate swap that was entered into with a derivatives dealer to minimize the net risk exposure to the Company resulting from the transactions and allow the Company to receive a variable rate of interest.
	The interest rate swap contract with the commercial borrower requires the borrower to pay or receive from the Company an amount equal to and offsetting the value of the interest rate swap.  If the commercial borrower fails to perform and the market value for the interest rate swap with the derivatives dealer is negative (net liability position), the Company would be obligated to pay the settlement amount for the financial derivative with the dealer.  If the market value for the interest rate swap with the derivatives dealer is positive (net asset position), the Company would receive a payment for the settlement amount for the financial derivative with the dealer.  The settlement amount is determined by the fluctuation of interest rates.
	As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.  As of September 30, 2013, the interest rate swaps had an aggregate notional amount of approximately $4.3 million and the fair value of these two interest rate swap derivatives are recorded in other assets and in other liabilities for $209,000 on the balance sheet.  The net effect of recording the derivatives at fair value through earnings was immaterial to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations during 2013.
	The Company also has an agreement with the derivatives dealer in this transaction that contains a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on this derivatives obligation.  As of September 30, 2013, the fair value of the interest rate swap derivative with the derivatives dealer was in a net liability position of $209,000, which excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements.  As of September 30, 2013, SCBT was provided $354,000 of collateral, which is included in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet as interest-bearing deposits with banks.  If the Company had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2013, it would have been required to settle its obligations under the agreement at the termination value, $209,000.
	The Company also has derivatives contracts that were classified as non-designated hedges that were acquired through the merger transaction with FFCH.  These derivatives contracts are a part of the Company’s risk management strategy for its mortgage banking activities.  These instruments may include financial forwards, futures contracts, and options written and purchased, which are used to hedge mortgage servicing rights; while when-issued securities are typically used to hedge the mortgage pipeline.  Such instruments derive their cash flows, and therefore their values, by reference to an underlying instrument, index or referenced interest rate.  The Company does not elect hedge accounting treatment for any of these derivative instruments acquired through the merger with FFCH and as a result, changes in fair value of the instruments (both gains and losses) are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in mortgage banking income.
	Derivatives contracts related to mortgage servicing rights are used to help offset changes in fair value and are written in amounts referred to as notional amounts.  Notional amounts provide a basis for calculating payments between counterparties but do not represent amounts to be exchanged between the parties, and are not a measure of financial risk.  On September 30, 2013, the Company had derivative financial instruments outstanding with notional amounts totaling $77.5 million related to mortgage servicing rights.  The estimated net fair value of the open contracts related to the mortgage servicing rights was recorded as an asset of $965,000 at September 30, 2013.
	The following table presents the Company’s notional value of forward sale commitments and the fair value of those obligations along with the fair value of the mortgage pipeline.

	Note 17 — Capital Ratios
	The Company is subject to certain risk-based capital guidelines. Certain ratios measure the relationship of capital to a combination of balance sheet and off-balance sheet risks. The values of both balance sheet and off-balance sheet items are adjusted to reflect credit risk. Under the guidelines promulgated by the Federal Reserve, which are substantially similar to those of the FDIC, Tier 1 risk-based capital must be at least 4% of risk-weighted assets, while total risk-based capital must be at least 8% of risk-weighted assets.
	In conjunction with the risk-based capital ratios, the regulatory agencies have also prescribed a leverage capital ratio for assessing capital adequacy.

	Note 19 — Subsequent Events
	Covered OREO Sale
	On October 9, 2013, the Company auctioned 51 properties located in various counties in North Georgia and Northwest North Carolina.  All of these assets were held in the Company’s acquired covered OREO portfolio, and were covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC at 95% in the case of CBT or 80% in the case of Habersham Bank.  These assets had a carrying value of approximately $5.2 million, and would reduce the September 30, 2013 balance of OREO by almost 7%.  The expected loss, net of the FDIC reimbursement, was not material.  The Company does expect some portion of the auctioned assets not to close; however, there is no meaningful way of estimating this fallout.
	Line of Credit
	On October 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association (the “Lender”). The Agreement provides for a $30 million unsecured line of credit by the Lender to the Company.  The maturity date of the Agreement is October 27, 2014, provided that the Agreement may be extended subject to the approval of the Lender.  Borrowings by the Company under the Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.75%.
