Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. General. First Community Bank Corporation of America (the “Holding Company”) owns all of the outstanding common stock of First Community Bank of America (the “Bank”) and First Community Lender Services, Inc. (“FCLS”) (collectively, the “Company”). The Holding Company’s primary business activity is the operation of the Bank. The Bank is a federally-chartered stock savings bank providing a variety of banking services to small and middle market businesses and individuals through its three banking offices located in Pinellas County, one banking office in Pasco County, two banking offices located in Charlotte County, and two offices located in Hillsborough County, Florida. FCLS had minimal activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 30, 2007, the results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations and other data for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

2. Loan Impairment and Loan Losses. There were no loans identified as impaired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 or 2006.

The activity in the allowance for loan losses is as follows (in thousands):

3. Loans Held for Sale. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 loans held for sale approximated $305,000 and $461,000, respectively and are included in net loans on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. Earnings Per Share (“EPS”). EPS has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Outstanding stock options are considered dilutive securities for purposes of calculating diluted EPS which is computed using the treasury stock method. All per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 5% stock dividend in January 2007. The following tables present the calculations of weighted-average shares outstanding:


	2007	2006
*Three Months Ended September 30:*
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per common share	4,079,274	4,009,613
Effect of dilutive stock options	204,888	296,469

Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per common share	4,284,162	4,306,082

*Nine Months Ended September 30:*
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per common share	4,070,244	3,994,349
Effect of dilutive stock options	233,355	293,663

Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per common share	4,303,599	4,288,012

The following options were excluded from the calculation of EPS due to the exercise price being above the average market price:


	Number Outstanding	Exercise Price		Expire
*For the three months ended September 30, 2007:*
Options	220,500	$	16.31	2011

5. Stock-Based Compensation . Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company’s stock option plans were accounted for under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 (Opinion 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees , and related Interpretations, as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure ) (collectively SFAS 123). No stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings through December 31, 2005, as all options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)) , using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). At December 31, 2005, all outstanding options had vested.

The Company has three stock option plans for directors and employees of the Company. Under the first two plans, the total number of options which may be granted to purchase common stock is 516,797 (amended) for employees and 620,156 (amended) for directors. At September 30, 2007, no options remain available for grant under the directors’ plan and 39,253 options remain available for grant under the employees’ plan. The total number of options which may be granted to purchase common stock under the third plan is 236,250 (amended) for either directors or employees. At September 30, 2007, 15,750 options remain available for grant under the third plan. The directors’ options vest immediately and have a life of five years. The employees’ options vest over periods up to four years and have terms up to 10 years.

5. Stock-Based Compensation, Continued . A summary of the activity in the Company’s stock option plans is as follows. All amounts reflect the 5% stock dividend paid in February 2007 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):


	Number of Options		Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at December 31, 2006	715,141
Options granted	22,350
Options exercised	(49,409	)
Options forfeited	(1,574	)

Outstanding at September 30, 2007	686,508		$	10.71	3.7 years	$	3,105

Exercisable at September 30, 2007	649,098		$	10.35	4.0 years	$	3,040

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 was $645,000 and $1,035,000, respectively and the tax benefit relating to the stock options exercised was $0 and $188,000, respectively. At September 30, 2007, there was approximately $124,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 36 months. The total fair value of shares vesting and recognized as compensation expense was approximately $42,000 and $11,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. There was no associated tax benefit recognized for both the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

The fair value of each option granted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:


	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2007			2006		2007		2006
Risk-free interest rate		4.28	%	5.04	%	4.60	%	4.94	%
Expected dividend yield		—		—		—		—
Expected volatility		4	%	8	%	5	%	8	%
Expected life in years		6		6		6		5

Per share grant-date fair value of options granted during the period	$	3.28		5.25		4.26		4.79

(continued)

5. Stock-Based Compensation, Continued . As part of its adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company examined its historical pattern of option exercises in an effort to determine if there were any pattern based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, the Company could not identify any patterns in the exercise of options. As such, the Company used the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 to determine the estimated life of options issued subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123(R). The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of similar peer banks’ common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payments.

6. Regulatory Capital. The Bank is required to maintain certain minimum regulatory capital requirements. At September 30, 2007, the Bank was in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements.

7. Sale-Leaseback Transaction. The Bank sold its office properties in St. Petersburg and Pinellas Park, Florida on May 17, 2006, and simultaneously leased both properties with favorable long-term leases. An immediate gain of approximately $225,000 was recognized on one of the properties because of the excess gain over the present value of the lease payments. The remaining gain of approximately $2.6 million was deferred and is being amortized using the straight-line method over the ten year lease term. The lease expense is being straight-lined over the ten year lease life due to 2% annual increases.

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet of First Community Bank Corporation of America and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2007, the related interim condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 22, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements as defined by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this document, or in the documents incorporated by reference, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “may”, “intend” and “expect” and similar expressions are some of the forward-looking statements used in these documents. Actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors which may cause results to change materially include competition, inflation, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, and changes in the value of collateral securing loans First Community Bank Corporation of America has made, among other things.

General

First Community Bank Corporation of America (the “Holding Company”) owns all of the outstanding common stock of First Community Bank of America (the “Bank”) and First Community Lender Services, Inc. (“FCLS”) (collectively, the “Company”). The Holding Company’s primary business activity is the operation of the Bank. The Bank is a federally-chartered stock savings bank providing a variety of banking services to small and middle market businesses and individuals through its three banking offices located in Pinellas County, one banking office located in Pasco County, two banking offices located in Charlotte County and two offices located in Hillsborough County, Florida. FCLS had minimal activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary source of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was from net deposit inflows of approximately $40 million. Cash was used primarily to originate net loans of approximately $22 million and to repay Federal Home Loan Bank advance of $27 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

FIRST COMMUNITY BANK CORPORATION OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter party.

Standby letters of credit are conditional lending commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party and to support public and private borrowing arrangements. Essentially all letters of credit issued have expiration dates within one year. The credit risk involved in issuing letters-of-credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company generally holds collateral supporting these commitments.

Unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate.

A summary of the amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, with off-balance sheet risk at September 30, 2007, follows (in thousands):


	Contract Amount
Commitments to extend credit	$	20,534

Unused lines of credit	$	40,418

Standby letters of credit	$	2,293

Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments and that substantially all its existing commitments will be funded within the next twelve months.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

General. Our net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2007, decreased to $834,000 or $0.20 earnings per basic share and $0.19 earnings per diluted share compared to $913,000 or $0.23 earnings per basic share and $0.21 earnings per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The $79,000 decline in third quarter earnings from the prior year reflects a $176,000 increase in provision for loan losses and a $73,000 decrease in net interest income as a result of narrowing spreads.

Net Interest Income. Interest income increased to $7.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007, from $6.4 million in 2006. Interest on loans for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased to $7.0 million from $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in interest on loans was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans to $366 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $324 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2006. The average yield earned, 7.70% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was unchanged from 7.70% for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Interest on securities increased to $227,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $145,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in interest income on securities was due to an increase in the yield earned from 4.19% in 2006 to 5.13% in 2007, and an increase in the average balance of securities from $13.9 million in 2006 to $17.7 million in 2007.

Interest expense on interest bearing deposit accounts increased to $3.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $2.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was due to an increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits to $310 million in 2007 from $236 million in 2006 and an increase in the average rate paid from 3.81% in 2006 to 4.19% in 2007. Interest expense on other borrowings decreased to $343,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $366,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance of other borrowings to $30.1 million in 2007 from $30.9 million in 2006, and a decrease in the average rate paid on other borrowings to 4.56% during the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 4.74% during the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

Provision for Loan Losses. Calculating the allowance for loan losses is divided into two primary allocation groups: (1) impaired loans and (2) all other passing grade loans. For impaired loans, the Bank has created a methodology which factors in the current market value of the collateral, deducts any related costs of collection and liquidation and the loan balance to determine any deficiency. This process is applied to each impaired loan, then the results are totaled and any possible deficiencies are provided for. The impaired loans are initially identified by the loan officer, loan review, or the credit officer/loan committee. The loans are assigned a risk grade which will move up or down according to the level of severity. On a quarterly basis the loans are evaluated as to the level of allocation towards the allowance. For the other passing grade loans in the portfolio, the methodology that was created factors in historical loss performance, political climate, national economic status, local economic status, local real estate market conditions and an event contingency factor. Each of these factors is given a weight that is totaled and the sum is multiplied by each type of loan product type to arrive at a total portfolio allowance allocation.

The provision for loan losses was $176,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. While continued economic weakness, rapidly rising interest rates, or other factors could cause stress on the loan portfolio and affect the levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs, management believes that the levels of nonperforming assets and the charge-off ratio are stable under the current circumstances.

The allowance for loan losses is $3.9 million at September 30, 2007. While management believes that its allowance for loan losses is adequate as of September 30, 2007, future adjustments to the Company’s allowance for loan losses may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determination.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased to $446,000 in 2007 from $335,000 for the three- months ended September 30, 2006 primarily due to an increase in service charges on deposit accounts and an increase in income from bank owned life insurance.

Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expenses increased to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $2.7 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in occupancy expense of $46,000. The increase reflects the opening of a new banking office and an investment in infrastructure to support future growth.

Income Taxes. Income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2007, were $429,000 or 34.0% compared to $526,000 or 36.6% for the period ended September 30, 2006.

FIRST COMMUNITY BANK CORPORATION OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES

Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

General. Our net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, decreased to $2.3 million or $0.58 earnings per basic share and $0.54 earnings per diluted share compared to $2.8 million or $0.71 earnings per basic share and $0.66 earnings per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The first nine month 2006 results included a $225,000 pre-tax gain on the sale and lease back of bank facilities which contributed $0.04 per share in earnings. The first nine months of 2007 reflected a $429,000 increase in provision for loan losses and a $719,000 increase in noninterest expense reflecting an investment in new branches and infrastructure to support growth.

Net Interest Income. Interest income increased to $21.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from $17.7 million in 2006. Interest on loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased to $20.5 million from $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in interest on loans was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans to $357 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $305 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This increase was also due to an increase in the average yield earned to 7.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 7.48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Interest on securities increased to $593,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $425,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in interest income on securities was due to an increase in the average yield earned from 3.77% in 2006 to 5.04% in 2007 and a increase in the average balance of securities from $15.0 million in 2006 to $15.7 million in 2007.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposit accounts increased to $9.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $5.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was due to an increase in the rate paid to 4.06% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from 3.40% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and an increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits to $304 million in 2007 from $228 million in 2006. Interest expense on other borrowings increased to $981,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared to $896,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was due to an increase in the average rate paid on other borrowings to 4.66% during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to 4.41% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, and an increase in the average balance of other borrowings to $28.0 million in 2007 from $27.1 million in 2006.

FIRST COMMUNITY BANK CORPORATION OF AMERICA AND SUBSIDIARIES

Comparison of the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006

The provision for loan losses was $489,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $60,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. While continued economic weakness, rapidly rising interest rates, or other factors could cause stress on the loan portfolio and affect the levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs, management believes that the levels of nonperforming assets and the charge-off ratio are stable under the current circumstances.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income remained the same at the nine months ended September 30, 2006. However, the 2006 results included a $225,000 pre-tax gain on the sale and lease back of bank facilities. The 2007 noninterest income reflected a $103,000 increase in service charges on deposits, a $56,000 increase in income from bank owned life insurance and a $74,000 increase in other income.

Noninterest Expenses. Total noninterest expenses increased to $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $7.6 million for the comparable period ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to increases in employee compensation and benefits of $270,000 and in occupancy expense of $242,000 due to an investment in new branches and infrastructure to support growth.

Income Taxes. Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $1.3 million or 35.6% compared to $1.6 million or 36.8% for the period ended September 30, 2006. The lower tax rate reflects an increase in tax-free municipal securities income and an increase in income from bank owned life insurance of $66,000 for the first nine months of 2007.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest-rate risk inherent in its lending, investment and deposit taking activities. The Company has little or no risk related to trading accounts, commodities or foreign exchange.

Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. The primary objective in managing interest-rate risk is to limit, within established guidelines, the adverse impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s net interest income and capital, while adjusting the Company’s asset-liability structure to obtain the maximum yield-cost spread on that structure. Management relies primarily on its asset-liability structure to control interest rate risk. However, a sudden and substantial increase in interest rates could adversely impact the Company’s earnings, to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. The Bank is managing through the impact of recent declining interest rates and the subsequent pressure on spreads.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed within 90 days of the filing date of this report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial officers of the Company concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

b.	Changes in internal controls. The Company made no significant changes in its internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation of those controls by the Chief Executive and Chief Financial officers.
