Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Under the First Community Corporation 2006 Non Employee Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) on or before December 31st of any calendar year, the reporting person may elect to defer all or any part of annual retainer fee and monthly meeting fees payable in respect of the following calendar year for service as a board of director. Units of common stock are credited to the reporting persons account at the time such compensation would otherwise be payable absent the election to defer equal to the fees payable divided by the fair market value of the stock. The plan provides the account balance will be distributed solely through a distribution of common stock. The plan has previously been filed on Form 8K and the person's participation in the plan has previously been reported by First Community Corporation in its annual proxy statement.
