BANK OF SOUTH CAROLINA CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
NOTE 1: Basis of Presentation
The Bank of South Carolina (the Bank) began operations on February 26, 1987 as a state chartered
bank and later became a subsidiary of Bank of South Carolina Corporation (the Company) a South
Carolina corporation, in a reorganization effective on April 17, 1995. The Bank currently has four
locations, two in Charleston, South Carolina, one in Summerville, South Carolina and one in Mt.
Pleasant, South Carolina. The consolidated financial statements in this report are unaudited,
except for the December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet. All adjustments consisting of normal
recurring accruals which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the
interim consolidated financial statements have been included and fairly and accurately present the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. The results of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the
results which may be expected for the entire year.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements are in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) which requires management to
make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements. In addition, they affect the reported amounts of income and expense during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
NOTE 2: Investment Securities
The Company accounts for its investment securities in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Boards (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Investment securities are classified as
Held to Maturity, Trading and Available for Sale. Currently the Company has only investments
classified as Available for Sale. These securities are carried at fair value with unrealized
gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders
equity (net of estimated tax effects). Unrealized losses on securities due to fluctuations in fair
value are recognized when it is determined that an other than temporary decline in value has
occurred. Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are based on the specific
identification method, trade date basis.
NOTE 3: Stock Based Compensation
The Company has an Incentive Stock Option Plan which was approved in 1998. Under the 1998
Incentive Stock Option Plan, options are periodically granted to employees at a price not less than
the fair market value of the shares at the date of the grant. Employees become 20% vested after
five years and then vest 20% each year until fully vested. The right to exercise each such 20% of
the options is cumulative and will not expire until the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant.
At September 30, 2007, 29,291 shares of common stock are reserved to be granted under the 1998
Incentive Stock Option Plan from the original 272,250 shares.
There were options for 10,000 shares granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
32,500 shares granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Fair values were estimated
on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were
used for the 2006 grant: dividend yield of 3.58%; historical volatility of 29.98%; risk-free
interest rate of 4.36%; and expected life of the options of 10 years. The following assumptions
were used for the 10,000 shares granted in 2007: dividend yield of 2.75%; historical volatility of
25.68%; risk-free interest rate of 4.70% for 5,000 shares granted in January and 5.16% for 5,000
shares granted in June. For purposes of the calculation, compensation expense is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Total loans, not including deferred loan fees, increased $175,290 or 11% to $155,443,488 at
September 30, 2007 from $155,268,198 at September 30, 2006 and decreased $3,228,747 or 2.04% from
$158,672,235 at December 31, 2006. The increase in loans between September 2006 and September 2007
is primarily due to an increase in consumer loans of 14.30% and personal banklines of 24.55%. The
decrease in loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 when compared to December 31, 2006
is primarily due to a decrease in commercial loans of $5,681,576 or 10.80% which was offset by an
increase in personal banklines of $2,434,638 or 22.71%.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE
The Company uses the investment securities portfolio for several purposes. It serves as a vehicle
to manage interest rate and prepayment risk, to generate interest and dividend income from
investment of funds, to provide liquidity to meet funding requirements, and to provide collateral
for pledges on public funds. Investments are classified into three categories (1) Held to Maturity
(2) Trading and (3) Available for Sale. All securities were classified as Available for Sale for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006. Management believes that
maintaining its securities in the Available for Sale category provides greater flexibility in the
management of the overall investment portfolio. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
$12,000,000 of Available for Sale securities were sold for a gain of $69,792 in order to increase
the Banks liquidity position. The average yield on investments at September 30, 2007 was 4.61%
compared to 4.69% at September 30, 2006. The carrying values of the investments available for sale
at September 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

DEPOSITS
Deposits remain the Companys primary source of funding for loans and investments. Average interest
bearing deposits provided funding for 68.89% of average earning assets for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, and 68.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The Bank encounters
strong competition from other financial institutions as well as consumer and commercial finance
companies, insurance companies and brokerage firms located in the primary service area of the Bank.
However, the percentage of funding provided by deposits has remained stable, and accordingly, the
Company has not had to rely on other sources. The breakdown of total deposits by type and the
respective percentage of total deposits are as follows:

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2007 to Three Months Ended September 30,
2006
The Companys results of operations depend primarily on the level of its net interest income, its
non-interest income and its operating expenses. Net interest income depends upon the volumes,
rates and mix associated with interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities which result
in the net interest spread. Net income decreased $89,186 or 8.66% to $940,561, or basic and diluted
earnings per share of $.24 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, from $1,029,747, or basic
and diluted earnings per share of $.26 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income decreased $168,725 or 5.67% to $2,807,566 for the three months ended September
30, 2007, from $2,976,291 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Total interest and fee
income decreased $187,497 or 4.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2007, to $4,058,866
from $4,246,363 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease is due to a decrease
in interest and fees on loans and a decrease in interest and dividends on investment securities.
Total interest and fees on loans decreased $125,399 or 3.56% to $3,392,660 for the three months
ended September 30, 2007, compared to $3,518,059 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Interest and dividends on investment securities decreased $45,245 or 9.49% to $431,654 for the
three months ended September 30, 2007 from $476,899 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Other interest income decreased $16,853 or 6.70% to $234,552 for the three months ended September
30, 2007 from $251,405 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease is due to a
decrease in the average balance of federal funds sold from $19,081,181 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, to $17,312,685 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Average interest earning assets decreased from $221.3 million for the three months ended September
30, 2006, to $213.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007. The yield on interest
earning assets decreased 7 basis points between periods to 7.54% for the three months ended
September 30, 2007, compared to 7.61% for the same period in 2006. This decrease is primarily due
to a decrease in the yield on average loans of 15 basis points and a decrease of 10 basis points in
the yield on investment securities offset by an increase of 15 basis points on federal funds sold.
Total interest expense decreased $18,772 or 1.48% to $1,251,300 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007, from $1,270,072 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in
interest expense is primarily due to a decrease in average cost of deposits. Interest on deposits
for the three months ended September 30, 2007, was $1,240,416 compared to $1,260,340 for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $19,924 or 1.58%. Total interest bearing deposits
averaged approximately $145.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to
$151.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The average cost of interest bearing
deposits was 3.37% and 3.30% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
an increase of 7 basis points.

Provision for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents managements estimate of probable losses inherent in the
loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (the Allowance) is reviewed
monthly by the Loan Committee and on a quarterly basis by the Board of Directors. For purposes of
this analysis, adequacy is defined as a level sufficient to absorb probable losses in the loan
portfolio as of the balance sheet date presented. The methodology employed for this analysis was
modified in the third quarter of 2007 to conform with regulatory guidance. The new methodology is
based on a Reserve Model that is comprised of the three components listed below.
|
1) |
|
Specific Reserve analysis for impaired loans based on SFAS 114 Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15. |
|
|
2) |
|
General reserve analysis applying historical loss rates based on SFAS No 5 Accounting
for Contingencies. |
|
|
3) |
|
Qualitative or environmental factors. |
Loans are reviewed for impairment which is measured in accordance with SFAS No. 114 Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15. Impaired loans
can either be secured or unsecured, not including large groups of smaller balance loans that are
collectively evaluated. Impairment is measured by the difference between the loan amount and the
present value of the future cash flow discounted at the loans effective interest rate, or,
alternatively the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. An impaired
loan may not represent an expected loss.
A general reserve analysis is performed on individually reviewed loans, but not impaired loans, and
excluded individually reviewed impaired loans, based on SFAS No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies.
Historical losses are segregated into risk-similar groups and a loss ratio is determined for each
group over a five year period. The five year average loss ratio by type is then used to calculate
the estimated loss based on the current balance of each group.
Qualitative and environmental factors include external risk factors that Management believes are
representative of the overall lending environment of the Bank. Management believes that the
following factors create a more comprehensive system of controls in which the Bank can monitor the
quality of the loan portfolio.

Loan and credit administration risk |
Portfolio risk includes the levels and trends in delinquencies, impaired loans and changes in the
loan rating matrix with a risk factor of .1000%, trends in volume and terms of loans with a risk
factor of .05000% and overmargined real estate lending with a risk factor of .2500%.
Management is satisfied with the stability of the past due and non-performing loans and believes
there has been no decline in the quality of the loan portfolio due to any trend in delinquent or
adversely classified loans. Although the aggregate total of classified loans has increased,
management is confident in the adequacy of the sources of repayment. Sizable unsecured principal
balances on a non-amortizing basis are monitored.
Management revised the credit rating matrix in order to rate all extensions of credit providing a
more specified picture of the risk each loan poses to the quality of the loan portfolio. There are
eight possible
16
ratings based on nine different qualifying characteristics. The nine characteristics are: cash
flow, collateral quality, guarantor strength, financial condition, management quality, operating
performance, the relevancy of the financial statements, historical loan performance and the
borrowers leverage. The matrix is designed to meet managements standards and expectations of
loan quality. In addition to the rating matrix, the Company rates its credit exposure on the basis
of each loan instead of the quality of each borrower.
Occasional extensions of credit occur beyond the policy thresholds of the Companys normal
collateral advance margins for real estate lending. The aggregate of these loans represents 9.90%
of the Companys total loans. These loans are monitored and the balances reported to the Board
every quarter. An excessive level of this practice could result in additional examiner scrutiny,
competitive disadvantages and potential losses if forced to convert the collateral. The
consideration of overmargined real estate loans directly relates to the capacity of the borrower.
Management often requests additional collateral to bring the loan to value ratio within the policy
guidelines and also require a strong secondary source of repayment in addition to the primary
source of repayment.
National and local economic trends and conditions are constantly changing and results in both
positive and negative impact on borrowers. Most macroeconomic conditions are not controllable by
the Company and are incorporated into the qualitative risk factors. Natural disasters, wars and the
recent fallout of the subprime lending market as well as problems in the traditional mortgage
market are a few of the trends and conditions that are currently affecting our national and local
economy. Management assigned a risk factor of .0625% to the national and local economic trends and
conditions.
The quality of the Banks loan portfolio is contingent upon our risk selection and underwriting
practices. Every credit with over $100,000 in exposure is summarized by the Banks Credit
Department and reviewed by the Loan Committee on a monthly basis. The Board of Directors review
credits over $500,000 and an annual credit analysis is conducted on these borrowers upon the
receipt of updated financial information. Prior to any extension of credit, every significant
commercial loan goes through sound credit underwriting. The Credit Department conducts detailed
cash flow analysis on each proposal using the most current financial information. Relevant trends
and ratios are evaluated. The effect of changes in risk selection and underwriting practices has
been assigned a risk factor of .0750%.
The Bank has over 250 years of lending management experience among eight members of lending staff,
all of whom have been with the Company for at least six years. In addition the Company has two new
lenders, one with experience in commercial lending in another geographic market and one with
lending experience in another industry. In addition to the lending staff the Bank has an Advisory
Board for each branch comprised of business and community leaders from the specific branchs market
area. Management meets with these boards quarterly to discuss the trends and conditions in each
respective market. A risk factor of .0750% has been assigned to the experience, ability and depth
of lending management and staff.
There has been an influx of new banks within the Companys geographic area. This increase has
decreased the local industrys overall margins as a result of pricing competition. Management
believes that the borrowing base of the Bank is well established and therefore unsound price
competition is not necessary. A risk factor of .0750% was added to the model for industry
conditions.
The risks associated with the effects of changes in credit concentration includes loan
concentration with a risk factor of .0600%, geographic concentration with a risk factor of .0625%
and regulatory concentration of .0625%.
As of September 30, 2007, there were only five Standard Industrial Code groups that comprised more
than three percent of the Banks total outstanding loans. Real Estate Agents and Managers is one
Standard Industrial Code group which experienced a large growth in outstanding loans primarily as a
result of the slowdown in the real estate market.
17
The Company is located along the coast and on an earthquake fault, increasing the chances that a
natural disaster may impact the Bank and its borrowers. The Company has a Disaster Recovery Plan
in place, however, the amount of time it would take for our customers to return to normal
operations is unknown.
Loan and credit administration risk includes collateral documentation with a risk factor of .0550%,
insurance risk with a risk factor of .0750% and maintaining financial information risk with a risk
factor of .0575%
The majority of the Banks loan portfolio is collateralized with a variety of its borrowers assets.
The execution and monitoring of the documentation to properly secure the loan lies with the Banks
lenders and Loan Department. The Bank requires insurance coverage naming the Bank as the mortgagee
or loss payee. Although insurance risk is also considered collateral documentation risk, the
actual coverage, amounts of coverage and increased deductibles are important to management.
Risk includes a function of time and the borrowers financial condition may change; therefore,
keeping financial information up to date is important to the Bank. The policy of the Bank is that
all new loans, regardless of the customers history with the Bank, should have updated financial
information.
Based on the evaluation described above, the Company did not record a provision for loan loss
during the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared to a provision of $60,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2007 the
five year average loss ratios were: .026% Commercial, .014% Consumer, .022% 1-4 Residential, .000% Real Estate Construction and .004%
Real Estate Mortgage. The historical loss ratio used at September 30, 2006 was .094%.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, charge-offs of $2,685 were recorded. Recoveries of
$44,787 were recorded to the allowance for loan losses during the quarter ended September 30, 2007,
resulting in an allowance for loan losses of $1,355,762 or .87% of total loans at September 30,
2007, compared to $1,294,994 or .82% of total loans at December 31, 2006 and $1,250,301 or .81% or
total loans at September 30, 2006.
The Bank had impaired loans totaling $748,389 as of September 30, 2007, compared to $13,008 as of
September 30, 2006. The impaired loans include non-accrual loans with balances at September 30,
2007 and 2006 of $748,389 and $13,008 respectively. The Bank had one restructured loan at
September 30, 2007, totaling $10,992 and no restructured loans at September 30, 2006. Management
does not know of any loans which will not meet their contractual obligations that are not otherwise
discussed herein.
The accrual of interest is generally discontinued on loans, which become 90 days past due as to
principal or interest. The accrual of interest on some loans, however, may continue even though
they are 90 days past due if the loans are well secured or in the process of collection and
management deems it appropriate. If non-accrual loans decrease their past due status to less than
30 days for a period of
nine months, they are reviewed individually by management to determine if they should be returned
to accrual status. There was one loan over 90 days past due still accruing interest as of September
30, 2007 and two loans over 90 days past due still accruing interest as of September 30, 2006.
18
Net recoveries were $42,102 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to net
recoveries of $52,112 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Uncertainty in the economic
outlook still exists, making charge-off levels in future periods less predictable; however, loss
exposure in the portfolio is identified, reserved and closely monitored to ensure that changes are
promptly addressed in the analysis of reserve adequacy.
The Company had $118,200 unallocated reserves at September 30, 2007 related to other inherent risk
in the portfolio compared to unallocated reserves of $152,556 at September 30, 2006. Management
believes the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2007, is adequate to cover probable losses
in the loan portfolio; however, assessing the adequacy of the allowance is a process that requires
considerable judgment. Managements judgments are based on numerous assumptions about current
events which it believes to be reasonable, but which may or may not be valid. Thus there can be no
assurance that loan losses in future periods will not exceed the current allowance amount or that
future increases in the allowance will not be required. No assurance can be given that
managements ongoing evaluation of the loan portfolio in light of changing economic conditions and
other relevant circumstances will not require significant future additions to the allowance, thus
adversely affecting the operating results of the Company.
The Allowance is also subject to examination testing by regulatory agencies, which may consider
such factors as the methodology used to determine adequacy and the size of the Allowance relative
to that of peer institutions, and other adequacy tests. In addition, such regulatory agencies
could require the Company to adjust its Allowance based on information available to them at the
time of their examination.
The methodology used to determine the reserve for unfunded lending commitments, which is included
in other liabilities, is inherently similar to that used to determine the allowance for loan losses
described above adjusted for factors specific to binding commitments, including the probability of
funding and historical loss ratio. During the third quarter of 2007, Management determined that
$20,796 of the allowance for loan loss represented the reserves for unfunded lending commitments.
This portion was transferred from the allowance for loan loss and placed into a new liability
account, allowance for unfunded loans and commitments.
Other Income
Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2007, increased $50,734 or 14.11% to $410,192
from $359,458 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to a
gain on the sale of investment securities of $69,792 which was offset by a decrease in mortgage
banking income of $13,942 or 10.47% to $119,249 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as
compared to $133,191 for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Other Expense
Bank overhead increased $78,359 or 4.61% to $1,778,594 for the three months ended September 30,
2007, from $1,700,235 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Salaries and employee
benefits increased $12,894 or 1.25% to $1,041,799 from $1,028,905 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This increase was due to the increase in salaries and
employee benefits as a result of annual merit increases. Net occupancy expense increased $29,623 or
9.13% to $354,066 from $324,443 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $16,052 or 131.03% in insurance
as well as an increase in rent on the buildings and depreciation on furniture fixtures and
equipment of 4.54% and 17.50%, respectively.
19
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Companys effective tax rate was 34.65% compared
to 34.64% during the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006
Net interest income is the Companys primary source of revenue. Net interest income is the
difference between the interest earned on assets, including loan fees and interest on investment
securities, and the interest incurred for the liabilities to support such assets. The net interest
margin measures how effectively the Company manages the difference between the yield on earning
assets and the rate incurred on funds used to support those assets. Net income increased $31,320 or
1.08% to $2,937,338 or basic earnings per share of $.75 and diluted earnings per share of $.74 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $2,906,018 or basic earnings per share of $.75 and
diluted earnings per share of $.73 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $116,683 or 1.37% to $8,646,266 for the nine months ended September
30, 2007, from $8,529,583 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Total interest and fee
income increased $655,074 or 5.49%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, to $12,576,491
from $11,921,417 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Total interest and fees on loans
increased $550,847, or 5.56% to $10,455,189 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, from
$9,904,342 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Interest and dividends on investment
securities increased $70,230 or 5.26% to $1,404,278 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007,
from $1,334,048 for the same period in 2006. Loans averaged $164.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $4.7 million or 2.92% from $159.5 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. This increase in average loans primarily led to an increase in
the average earnings assets from $217.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, to
$222.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The yield on average earning assets
increased 21 basis points to 7.55% from 7.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively. Average investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $40.2
million compared to $38.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, with an increase in
the yield from 4.59% to 4.67% or 8 basis points.
Total interest expense increased $538,391 or 15.87% to $3,930,225 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, from $3,391,834 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase in
interest expense is primarily due to an increase in average deposits and the average cost of
deposits. Interest on deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $3,900,225
compared to $3,367,926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $532,299 or
15.80%. Total interest bearing deposits averaged approximately $153.4 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, as compared to $148.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2006. The average cost of interest bearing deposits was 3.40% and 3.04% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of 36 basis points.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 was $40,000 compared to $180,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30,
2007, charge-offs of $7,376 and recoveries of $48,939 were recorded
to the allowance for loan losses resulting in an allowance for loan
losses of $1,355,762 or .87% of total loans at September
30, 2007, compared to $1,294,994 or .82% of total loans at
December 31, 2006 and $1,250,301 or .81% or total loans at September 30, 2006.
20
Net recoveries were $41,563 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, as compared to net
recoveries of $53,126 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Loss exposure in the portfolio
is identified, reserved and closely monitored to ensure that changes are promptly addressed in the
analysis of the reserve.
Other Income
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, increased $86,305 or 7.98% to $1,167,704
from $1,081,399 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This increase was primarily due to a
gain of $69,792 on the sale of securities. There was a loss of $22,950 on the sale of securities
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 making the total increase due to the gain of $92,742
or 404.10%. Mortgage banking income increased $11,202 or 2.65% to $434,654 from $423,452 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increases were offset by a
decrease in service charges, fees and commissions of $17,222 or 2.61% to $643,747 from $660,969 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This decrease resulted from a
decrease in overdraft fees of $16,498 or 6.49% from $254,088 for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 to $237,590 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and a decrease in merchant
services income from $113,956 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $104,637 or 8.18% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Other Expense
Bank overhead increased $265,037 or 5.29% to $5,271,125 for the nine months ended September 30,
2007, from $5,006,088 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This increase was primarily
due to an increase in both salaries and employee benefits and net occupancy expense. Salaries and
employee benefits increased $164,048 or 5.53% to $3,128,343 for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 from $2,964,295 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as a result of annual merit
increases. Total occupancy expense increased $79,712 or 8.68% to $998,244 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007. The increase in occupancy expense was primarily due to an increase in
the cost of insurance of $38,815 or 116.21%, an increase in rent of $10,810 or 3.76% and an
increase in the depreciation on furniture fixtures and equipment of $10,334 or 8.66%. Other
operating expenses increased $21,277 or 1.89% primarily due to an increase in sundry losses of
$22,484 or 335.52%.
Income Tax Expense
For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Companys effective tax rate was 34.77% compared
to 34.33% during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions
that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in the
financial statements, or are recorded in amounts that differ from the notional amounts. These
transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk.
Such transactions are used by the Company for general corporate purposes or for customer needs.
Corporate purpose transactions are used to help manage credit, interest rate and liquidity risk or
to optimize capital. Customer transactions are used to manage customers requests for funding.
The Companys off-balance sheet arrangements consist principally of commitments to extend credit
described below. The Company estimates probable losses related to binding unfunded lending
commitments and records a reserve for unfunded lending commitment in other liabilities on the
consolidated balance sheet. At September 30, 2007 the balance of the reserve was $20,796. At
September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no interests in non-consolidated special purpose
entities.
21
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 commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the
Company upon extension of credit is based on managements credit evaluation of the borrower.
Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, negotiable instruments, inventory,
property, plant and equipment, and real estate. Commitments to extend credit, including unused
lines of credit, amounted to $30,450,789 and $27,006,484 at September 30, 2007 and 2006
respectively.
Standby letters of credit represent an obligation of the Company to a third party contingent upon
the failure of the Companys customer to perform under the terms of an underlying contract with the
third party or obligates the Company to guarantee or stand as surety for the benefit of the third
party. The underlying contract may entail either financial or nonfinancial obligations and may
involve such things as the shipment of goods, performance of a contract, or repayment of an
obligation. Under the terms of a standby letter, generally drafts will be drawn only when the
underlying event fails to occur as intended. The Company can seek recovery of the amounts paid
from the borrower. The majority of these standby letters of credit are unsecured. Commitments under
standby letters of credit are usually for one year or less. The maximum potential amount of
undiscounted future payments related to standby letters of credit at September 2007 and 2006 was
$509,373 and $731,602 respectively.
The Company originates certain fixed rate residential loans and commits these loans for sale. The
commitments to originate fixed rate residential loans and the sale commitments are freestanding
derivative instruments. The fair value of the commitments to originate fixed rate conforming loans
was not significant at September 30, 2007. The Company has forward sales commitments, totaling $1.0
million at September 30, 2007, to sell loans held for sale of $1.0 million. The fair value of these
commitments was not significant at September 30, 2007. The Company has no embedded derivative
instruments requiring separate accounting treatment.
Liquidity
The Company must maintain an adequate liquidity position in order to respond to the short-term
demand for funds caused by withdrawals from deposit accounts, extensions of credit and for the
payment of operating expenses. Primary liquid assets of the Company are cash and due from banks,
federal funds sold, investments available for sale, other short-term investments and mortgage loans
held for sale. The Companys primary liquid assets accounted for 29.34% and 31.25% of total assets
at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Proper liquidity management is crucial to ensure that
the Company is able to take advantage of new business opportunities as well as meet the credit
needs of its existing customers. Investment securities are an important tool in the Companys
liquidity management. Securities classified as available for sale may be sold in response to
changes in interest rates and liquidity needs. All of the securities presently owned by the Bank
are classified as available for sale. At September 30, 2007, the Bank had unused short-term lines
of credit totaling approximately $15,500,000 (which are withdrawable at the lenders option).
Additional sources of funds available to the Bank for additional liquidity needs include borrowing
on a short-term basis from the Federal Reserve System, increasing deposits by raising interest
rates paid and selling mortgage loans for sale.
The Companys core deposits consist of non-interest bearing accounts, NOW accounts, money market
accounts, time deposits and savings accounts. The Company closely monitors its reliance on
certificates of deposit greater than $100,000. The Companys management believes its liquidity
sources are adequate to meet its operating needs and does not know of any trends, events or
uncertainties that may result in a significant adverse effect on the Companys liquidity position.
At September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Banks liquidity ratio was 25.47% and 26.40%, respectively.
22
Capital Resources
The capital needs of the Company have been met to date through the $10,600,000 in capital raised in
the Banks initial offering, the retention of earnings less dividends paid and the exercise of
stock options for total shareholders equity at September 30, 2007, of $25,108,004. The rate of
asset growth since the Banks inception has not negatively impacted this capital base. The
risk-based capital guidelines for financial institutions are designed to highlight differences in
risk profiles among financial institutions and to account for off balance sheet risk. The
guidelines established require a risk based capital ratio of 8% for bank holding companies and
banks. The risk based capital ratio at September 30, 2007, for the Bank is 13.46% and at September
30, 2006 was 12.29%. The Companys management does not know of any trends, events or uncertainties
that may result in the Companys capital resources materially increasing or decreasing.
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the
federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken,
could have a material effect on the financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Companys and the Banks assets,
liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The Companys and the Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to
qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and
the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets
and to average assets. Management believes, as of September 30, 2007, that the Company and the
Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
At September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company and the Bank are categorized as well capitalized
under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, Tier 1 risk based and
Tier 1 leverage ratios of 10%, 6% and 5%, respectively, and to be categorized as adequately
capitalized, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, Tier 1 risk based
and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 8%, 4% and 4%, respectively. There are no current conditions or
events that management believes would change the Companys or the Banks category.
Accounting and Reporting Changes
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 155,
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and
140. This Statement amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves issues addressed in SFAS No. 133
Implementation Issue No. D1, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized
Financial Assets. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after
the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company
does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 155 will have a material impact on its financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
23
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets
an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. This Statement amends FASB No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to
the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS No. 156
requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an
obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract; requires all
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair
value, if practicable; permits an entity to choose its subsequent measurement methods for each
class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities; at its initial adoption,
permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by
entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other
available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities
are identified in some manner as offsetting the entitys exposure to changes in fair value of
servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair
value; and requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities
subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional
disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. An entity
should adopt SFAS No. 156 as of the beginning of its first fiscal year that begins after September
15, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 156 will have a material impact on
its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial
statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax
return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently analyzing the effects of FIN 48.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting
principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the
Company on January 1, 2008 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys
financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158), which amends SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 to require
recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and other postretirement benefit
plans on the balance sheet. Under SFAS 158, gains and losses, prior service costs and credits, and
any remaining transition amounts under SFAS 87 and SFAS 106 that have not yet been recognized
through net periodic benefit cost will be recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, net
of tax effects, until they are amortized as a component of net periodic cost. The measurement date
the date at which the benefit obligation and plan assets are measured is required to be the
companys fiscal year end. SFAS 158 is effective for publiclyheld companies for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2006, except for the measurement date provisions, which are effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently analyzing the effects of SFAS
158 but does not expect that its implementation will have a significant impact on the Companys
financial condition or results of operations.

In September, 2006, The FASB ratified the consensus reached by the FASBs Emerging Issues Task
Force (EITF) relating to EITF 06-4 Accounting for the Deferred Compensation and Postretirement
Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. EITF 06-4 addresses
employer accounting for endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements that provide a benefit
to an employee that extends to postretirement periods and provides that a company should recognize
a liability for future benefits in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions", or
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 12, Omnibus Opinion 1967". EITF 06-4 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Entities should recognize the effects of
applying this Issue through either (a) a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect
adjustment to retained earnings or to other components of equity or net assets in the statement of
financial position as of the beginning of the year of adoption or (b) a change in accounting
principle through retrospective application to all prior periods. The Company does not believe the
adoption of EITF 06-4 will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
On September 13, 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108
provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year
misstatements should be considered in quantifying a potential current year misstatement. Prior to
SAB 108, companies might evaluate the materiality of financial statement misstatements using either
the income statement or balance sheet approach, with the income statement approach focusing on new
misstatements added in the current year, and the balance sheet approach focusing on the cumulative
amount of misstatement present in a companys balance sheet. Misstatements that would be material
under one approach could be viewed as immaterial under another approach, and not be corrected. SAB
108 now requires that companies view financial statement misstatements as material if they are
material according to either the income statement or balance sheet approach. The Company has
analyzed SAB 108 and determined that upon adoption it will have no impact on the reported results
of operations or financial conditions.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This statement permits,
but does not require, entities to measure many financial instruments at fair value. The objective
is to provide entities with an opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by
measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge
accounting provisions. Entities electing this option will apply it when the entity first
recognizes an eligible instrument and will report unrealized gains and losses on such instruments
in current earnings. This statement (1) applies to all entities, (2) specifies certain election
dates, (3) can be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis with some exceptions, (4) is
irrevocable, and (5) applies only to entire instruments. One exception is demand deposit
liabilities which are explicitly excluded as qualifying for fair value. With respect to SFAS 115,
available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities at the effective date are eligible for the fair
value option at that date. If the fair value option is elected for those securities at the
effective date, cumulative unrealized gains and losses at that date shall be included in the
cumulative-effect adjustment and thereafter, such securities will be accounted for as trading
securities. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. Earlier adoption is
permitted in 2007 if the Company also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157, Fair Value
Measurement. The Company is currently analyzing the fair value option provided under SFAS 159.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting
bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

Effect of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles which require the measurement of financial position and results of operations
in terms of historical dollars without consideration of changes in relative purchasing power over
time due to inflation.
Unlike most other industries, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution
are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a
financial institutions performance than does the effect of inflation.
ITEM 3
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and procedures for
financial reporting
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of Bank of South
Carolina Corporations management, including its Principal Executive Officer and the Executive Vice
President and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of Bank of South Carolina Corporations disclosure
controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. Based on that evaluation, Bank of South Carolina
Corporations management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President and
Treasurer, has concluded that Bank of South Carolina Corporations disclosure controls and
procedures are effective. During the period ending September 30, 2007, there was no change in Bank
of South Carolina Corporations internal control over financial reporting that has materially
affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Bank of South Carolina Corporations
internal control over financial reporting.
The Company established a Disclosure Committee on December 20, 2002. The committee is made up of
the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Treasurer, Executive Vice
President, Senior Vice President (Operations), Vice President (Audit Compliance Officer),
Accounting Officer and Assistant Vice President (Credit Department). This Committee meets quarterly
to review the 10QSB and the 10KSB, to assure that the financial statements, Securities and Exchange
Commission filings and all public releases are free of any material misstatements and correctly
reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. This
Committee also assures that the Company is in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
The Disclosure Committee establishes a calendar each year to assure that all filings are reviewed
and filed in a proper manner. The calendar includes the dates of the Disclosure Committee
meetings, the dates that the 10QSB and the 10KSB are sent to our independent accountants and to our
independent counsel for review as well as the date for the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors to review the reports.
