The unrealized losses on seven investment securities were caused by interest rate changes. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investments. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, securities with a carrying value of $45,544,000 and $42,715,000, respectively, were pledged for repurchase agreements with customers and for various purposes required or permitted by law.

5. Share-Based Compensation . The Company currently has one stock option plan for employees of the Company. Under the plan, the total number of options which may be granted to purchase common stock is 516,797 (amended). At March 31, 2010, 121,265 options remain available for grant under the employees’ plan. The employees’ options vest over periods up to four years and have terms up to ten years.

The Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan approved by shareholders in April 2000 expired in May 2009. Outstanding Director options covering 103,358 shares expired unexercised on January 1, 2010. At March 31, 2010, there are no outstanding options under the Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan.

At March 31, 2010, there was approximately $25,000 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 nine months. The total fair value of shares vesting and recognized as compensation expense was approximately $9,000 and $10,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. There was no associated tax benefit recognized for both the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

9. Deferred Tax Asset. The Company believes it is more likely than not that it will realize the deferred tax asset and that no allowance is necessary at March 31, 2010. The Company has available $1.8 million Federal taxes paid in 2007 which it expects to recover in 2010. The Company expects to realize an additional $3.4 million based on forecast taxable income by 2012. This forecast is supported by a strong earnings history exclusive of the loan losses incurred in 2008 and 2009 which created the future deductible amount. Management believes the magnitude of these loan losses occurred because of the current economic downturn and the situation is unusual and infrequent and an aberration rather than a continuing condition.

10 . Regulatory Matters. As a result of an examination by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), the Bank and the Holding Company entered into separate memorandums of understanding (the “Memorandums”) with the OTS in October 2009 with the intent to protect the interests of the Company’s depositors, customers and shareholders. The Memorandums provided, among other things, that the Boards of Directors will or will cause the Company to 1) Prepare and monitor comprehensive business plans, 2) Adopt detailed capital plans, 3) Not negotiate, purchase or commit to any land acquisition, development or construction loans until the comprehensive business plan has been approved by the OTS, 4) Take steps to identify, evaluate and reduce the level of problem assets, 5) Limit asset growth until it obtains OTS approval of the Bank’s comprehensive business plan, 6) Not pay or declare dividends without OTS approval, 7) Not continue to roll or accept brokered deposits without OTS approval and must submit plan to OTS to reduce brokered deposits, 8) Prepare and adopt a written plan detailing the Company’s obligations with receipt of funds under Troubled Asset Relief Program, and 9) Submit variance reports on the Company’s compliance with various plans required by the Memorandums.

Management plans to vigorously seek compliance with the Memorandums. At this time, the financial impact, if any, of regulatory sanctions that may result if the Company fails to comply with the Memorandums requirements described above is not known. Management feels that the terms of the agreement will not have a material impact on the strategy of the Bank. The OTS has provided a temporary extension of the Bank’s use of customer driven CDARs deposits which technically fall under the brokered deposit classification.

 

11 . Equity Offering. Pursuant to a prospectus dated December 30, 2009, the Company offered to sell a maximum of 600,000 units at a price of $33.33 per unit. Each unit consisted of 4.165 shares of common stock, par value $.05 per share, and one share of 10% Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B, with an initial liquidation preference of $25.00. The Series B preferred stock has parity with the Series A preferred stock issued to the Treasury. Each of the shares of Series B preferred stock is currently convertible into ten shares of common stock. At December 31, 2009, the Company had issued 189,018 shares of Series B preferred stock and 787,261 shares of common stock, for net proceeds of $6,300,000. During 2010, an additional 518,481 shares of common stock and 124,479 shares of Series B preferred stock were issued, for net proceeds of $3,860,000. The offering terminated on February 12, 2010.

Hacker, Johnson & Smith PA, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, have made a limited review of the financial data as of March 31, 2010, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 presented in this document, in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Their report furnished pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

First Community Bank Corporation of America

Pinellas Park, Florida:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of First Community Bank Corporation of America and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. 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 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, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flow for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 31, 2010, 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, 2009, 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 four banking offices located in Pinellas County, two banking offices located in Pasco County, three banking offices located in Charlotte County and two offices located in Hillsborough County, Florida. FCLS had minimal activity during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary source of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2010, was an increase in core deposits of $22.2 million. The Bank considers savings, NOW, money-market and noninterest-bearing demand deposits as core deposits. This inflow was offset by a $22.6 million decrease in time deposits resulting from a Bank strategy of lowering levels of brokered and high costs certificates of deposit. The Company netted $3.7 million in preferred capital and $.2 million in common capital as it completed its stock offering. The Bank maintained a $60.4 million balance deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank on March 31, 2010.

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.

Table of Contents

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 March 31, 2010, follows (in thousands):

 

       Contract
Amount

Commitments to extend credit

   $ 4,946
      

Unused lines of credit

   $ 29,958
      

Standby letters of credit

   $ 8,875
      

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.

Local Economic Conditions

The Bank operates in two distinct geographic markets on the West Coast of Florida, the Tampa Bay region in West Central Florida and the Port Charlotte Region in southwest Florida. Three of the Bank’s markets are located around Tampa Bay (Pinellas County, Pasco County and Hillsborough County). The fourth market is located in Charlotte County. The economy in Florida has been hard hit by the decline in real estate values resulting from an over supply of residential housing units, a significant reduction in development activity and reductions in sales activity. The lack of absorption of vacant land, lots and certain single family and condominium product has continued to feed the decline in values. The Tampa Bay region is more diversified with other service and manufacturing industry than the Port Charlotte region which had been primarily dependent on residential real estate development and the retiree industry. Although the Tampa Market has shown decreased values in single family homes and condominiums it has not suffered as severely as the Port Charlotte market. Housing values have dropped approximately 40-50% from the height of activity in 2005 – 2006. Similarly vacant land and lot values have fallen 60-70%. The drop in values continues to contribute to the delinquency or default of borrowers in that market. Correspondently the Tampa market has seen a drop in values for single family of 25-35%, however condominiums and luxury homes have experienced larger decreases. Land and lot values have diminished by 30-40%. The Bank has experienced continued losses in vacant residential lot loans and single family homes. A predominant portion of these losses are in the Port Charlotte market. Unemployment in Port Charlotte is purported to be in the 10-15% range, thus many borrowers struggle to maintain a positive payment history.

The commercial real estate market in the Tampa Bay area is showing signs of weakness especially in the multifamily, office rental and retail rental market. The Bank does not have a large concentration in these areas, however, is experiencing increased delinquency trends in that market. Commercial real estate in Port Charlotte is also experiencing significant weakness, however, the Bank has minimal holdings in that product type.

In light of these real estate trends the Bank has experienced an increase in its problem assets specifically in vacant residential lots and single family which has comprised 85% of charge-off activity. Commercial related charge-off’s to date are 14% of total charge-offs. The remaining charge-offs have been consumer loans.

Determining Loan Losses

A loan is classified impaired when, based on current information and events; it is probable the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All amounts due according to the contractual terms means both the contractual interest payments and contractual principal payments will be collected as scheduled in the loan agreement. Once a loan is considered impaired and is collateral dependent, an analysis of the loan will be performed to determine a fair value estimate. Fair value will be determined by a current appraisal or using a reasonable discount of the appraisal using comparable data given the existing economic conditions. If the loan is collateral dependent, the loss will be determined by deducting selling costs from the fair value of the collateral. The difference between the loan balance and the fair value less selling cost is the loss. The loss will be charged-off when it has been determined. A loan that is impaired and non-collateral dependent will be treated in accordance with regulatory guidelines for retail loans. Closed end retail loans will be charged off when delinquent 120 days and open end loans will be charged off when 180 days delinquent. Commercial loans that are non-collateral dependent will be charged off between 90 and 120 days delinquent. If the loan is considered impaired as a Troubled Debt Restructure, it is treated as required under FASB 114. The discounted cash flow of revised payment stream is discounted at the original loan rate and the difference is determined to be the loss.

The Bank obtains external appraisals on commercial real estate loans considered collateral dependent and on commercial foreclosed real estate on an annual basis. Once the appraisal is in hand, the Bank will evaluate and if required will write-down the loan. The Bank obtains a brokers price opinion or other valuation service estimate every six months on any impaired collateral dependent single family, residential or vacant lot loans, and foreclosed real estate and a write-down is made as required. A formal appraisal is ordered to evaluate the fair value when the foreclosure process is completed and the property title is being transferred to the Bank as foreclosed real estate. The foreclosed real estate is initially valued at the appraised value less estimated selling costs. Once the property is in foreclosed real estate, after six months a broker’s price opinion or valuation service model will be used to evaluate the current value. An allowance is established for any additional losses. In addition, management continuously evaluates its impaired loan portfolio.

The increase in nonperforming assets correlates with the real estate related delinquencies being experienced by the Bank in the Port Charlotte market, and the Tampa Bay market. Predominantly the nonperforming assets are vacant residential lots, single family homes, multifamily and small office properties.

Retail credit is the primary reason for the build up in impaired loans. The subsequent move to charge-off is rapid and is not reflected as a specific reserve. The Bank recognizes these losses as they become apparent.

The Bank initially will try and work with any borrower with an impaired loan. Should negotiations fail, then legal action occurs. The foreclosure process in Florida has continued to lengthen given the large number of cases in process. This delay has inhibited the Bank’s ability to get back real estate in a timely manner; the average is now between twelve and eighteen months. The Bank currently has two special assets officers, one devoted to retail and one devoted to commercial. In addition, we have a person who assists in handling other real estate owned by the Bank.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009

General. First Community Bank Corporation of America recorded a net loss for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010 of $(1,872,000) compared to net earnings of $69,000 for the same period in 2009. The decline in earnings was due to increased credit losses, FDIC insurance assessments and expenses related to problem assets.

The Company recorded a net loss available to common stockholders, after preferred stock dividends and amortization of preferred discount, for the three-months ended March 31, 2010 of $(2,203,000) or $(.42) per basic share and $(.42) earnings per diluted share compared to $(80,000) or $(.02) earnings per basic share and $(.02) earnings per diluted share for the three-months ended March 31, 2009.

The first quarter 2010 reflected a $3,246,000 increase in provision for loan losses and a $228,000 increase in noninterest expense reflecting a $196,000 increase in insurance premiums, a $156,000 increase in legal expenses and a $39,000 increase in other loan related expenses.

Net Interest Income . Interest income decreased to $6.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $6.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Interest on loans for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased to $5.4 million from $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in interest income on loans was attributable to a decline in the average yield on loans from 5.87% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to 5.44% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The declining loan yield reflected a full year impact of the lower interest rate environment and the impact of the loss of income on increasing balances of nonaccrual loans. Interest on securities increased to $557,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $480,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in interest income on securities was due to an increase in the average balance of securities to $62.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $42.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposit accounts decreased to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was due to a decrease in the rate paid to 1.88% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 2.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Interest expense on other borrowings decreased to $342,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $362,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance of other borrowings to $40.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $45.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are based on our review of the historical loan loss experience and such factors which, in management’s judgment, deserve consideration under existing economic conditions in estimating probable credit losses. The allowance is based on ongoing assessments of the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our methodology for assessing the appropriate allowance level consists of several key elements described below.

Our methodology incorporated the calculation of loans considered impaired and allocations for performing portfolio categories based on applying historical charge off data for loans categorized by similar risk characteristics based on our experience. The methodology includes an unallocated portion (qualitative factors) justified by current general market conditions, trends in performance (delinquency), economic and political trends.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, Continued

Provision for Loan Losses, Continued. Larger commercial loans that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses are subject to individual review. Where appropriate, the allowance is allocated to individual loans based on our estimate of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of cash flows and available legal options. Included in the review of individual loans are those that are impaired. Any specific reserves for impaired loans are measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The collectability of both principal and interest is evaluated when assessing the allowance. Historical loss rates are applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific allocations.

Homogenous loans, such as installment and residential mortgage loans are not individually reviewed by management. The allowance is established for each pool of loans based on the expected net charge-offs. Loss rates are based on the average net charge-off history by loan category.

Historical loss rates for commercial and consumer loans may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition. Factors which management considers in the analysis include the effects of the local economy, trends in the nature and volume of loans (delinquencies, charge-offs, nonaccrual and problem loans), changes in the internal lending policies and credit standards, collection practices, and examination results from bank regulatory agencies and our internal credit review function. The allowance relating to individual loans and historical loss rates are reviewed throughout the year and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and collateral conditions and actual collection and charge off experience.

The provision for loan losses was $3,941,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $695,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Economic weakness has continued to stress the loan portfolio and has affected the levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs. Management believes that it is judicious in recognizing problem assets and recorded an appropriate allowance for loan loss reflecting the current circumstances.

The allowance for loan losses is $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. While management believes that its allowance for loan losses is adequate as of March 31, 2010, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary as economic conditions could dictate. We believe that our conservative underwriting policies somewhat mitigates our exposure in the troubled Florida real estate market.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased to $597,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $378,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a $99,000 increase in other income combined with $158,000 in security gains recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Bank executed a strategy to sell off the entire “securities held to maturity” portfolio, which consisted primarily of tax exempt municipals, at a $55,000 loss. This strategy reduced credit risk and shortened the average maturities in the investment portfolio.

Noninterest Expenses. Total noninterest expenses increased to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a $196,000 increase in insurance premiums, a $156,000 increase in legal expenses and a $39,000 increase in other loan related expenses.

Income Taxes (Benefit). Income taxes benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2010, were $1.2 million compared to $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

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 Company is managing through the impact of recent declining interest rates and the subsequent pressure on spreads.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
