ITEM 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On January 16, 2008, First Community Corporation, holding company for First Community Bank, issued a press release announcing its financial results for the period ended December 31, 2007.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

ITEM 8.01. Other Events.

On January 16, 2008, First Community also announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.08 per share dividend payable to shareholders of record as of January 31, 2008. The dividend will be paid on February 15, 2008.

First Community also announced an increase in the number of shares it has authorized for repurchase under its existing stock repurchase plan. The company had already authorized the repurchase of up to 200,000 shares of the company’s common stock on the open market. On January 16, 2008, the board approved the repurchase of an additional 50,000 shares under the plan, bringing the total shares available for repurchase to 250,000. Through December 31, 2007, 189,813 shares have been repurchased under the plan, at an aggregate cost of $3.28 million, leaving a total of 60,187 shares now available for repurchase under the plan.

The timing, price and quantity of purchases under the plan will be at the discretion of management and the plan may be discontinued, suspended or restarted at any time depending on the facts and circumstances. First Community’s management believes the repurchase plan, depending upon market and business conditions will provide capital management opportunities and build value for First Community’s shareholders.

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the press release relating to the announcement of the share dividend and the new stock repurchase plan, which are incorporated herein by reference.
