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 $110 million at September
30, 1999 reflecting an increase from December 31, 1998 of 5.4%.
Loans have increased $11.2 million or 14.1% during the first nine months of
1999. The increased loans were funded through an $8.823 million decrease in fed
funds sold since December 31, 1998 and increased borrowings from Federal Home
Loan Bank of Cincinnati.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND RISK ELEMENTS. Nonperforming assets at September 30,
1999 amounted to $37,154, or .03% of total loans, a decline from $104,000 or
.12% of total loans at December 31, 1998. Diversification within the loan
portfolio is an important means of reducing inherent lending risks. At September
30, 1999, 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 had no restructured loans or other real
estate as of September 30, 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity is adequate with cash and due from banks of $3.8 million as of
September 30, 1999. In addition, loans and investment securities repricing or
maturing within one year or less exceed $30.3 million at September 30, 1999. The
Bank has approximately $5.3 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 $173,435 at September 30, 1999. In addition
to the Federal Home Loan Bank membership, the Bank has established federal funds
lines of credit with three correspondent banks totaling $ 10.0 million to meet
unexpected liquidity demands. With the exception of unfunded loan commitments,
there are no known trends or any known commitments of 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, 1999, is $10.1 million or approximately
9.2% 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, 1999, are as follows:
Tier 1 leverage 9.25%
Tier 1 risk-based 11.49%
Total risk-based 12.55%

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had net income of $275,000 for the three months ending September 30,
1999, compared with $299,000 for the same period last year, resulting in an
decrease of 7.9%. For nine months ending September 30, 1999, net income was
$884,000 compared with $838,000 for 1998, or an increase of 5.5%.
Interest income and interest expense both increased from 1998 to 1999 resulting
from the increase in earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.
Consequently, net interest income increased $546,000 for the first nine months
ending September 30, 1999, or an increase of 17.7%. Earning assets through
September 30, 1999 increased $13.6 million and interest-bearing liabilities also
increased $13.1 million compared to September 30, 1998, reflecting increases of
13.55% and 13.29%, respectively.
Noninterest income for the nine months ending September 30, 1999 was $712,000
compared to $1,021,000 for the same period in 1998 reflecting an decrease of
$309,000 or 30.3%. Non-interest income in 1998 was unusually high due to the one
time sale of property adjoining the Church Hill Office. 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, 1999 was $527,000 compared
with $519,000 for the same period in 1998 reflecting an decrease of 1.5%.
The provision for loan losses was $197,000 in the first nine months of 1999
compared with $175,000 for the same period in 1998. The allowance for loan
losses of $918,000 at September 30, 1999 (approximately 1.01% 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.
YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE
First Community Bank has been actively addressing Year 2000 issues since June
1997. The Bank's Year 2000 Committee developed and implemented a comprehensive
Y2K readiness plan to identify, assess, and renovate internal hardware, software
and processes utilized in day-to-day financial activities. The plan included
ongoing assessments of suppliers and vendors, associated customer risk and
contigency planning. All mission-critical systems have been successfully tested
and certified as compliant. Additionally, First Community Bank has taken a
proactive stance in providing customers, and the general public, with relevant
information about our preparations for the century date rollover. Our Y2K
efforts have been evaluated by independent organizations and our primary
regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), reviews our
progress on an ongoing basis.
