As of March 31, 2010, 33 securities had been continuously in an unrealized loss
position for less than 12 months and no securities had been continuously in an
unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. We do not consider these
investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired because the unrealized losses
involve primarily issuances of government-sponsored enterprises and state,
county and municipal government issuers. We also believe that the impairments
resulted from current credit market conditions. There have been no defaults or
failures by any of the issuers to remit periodic interest payments as required,
nor are we aware that any such issuer has given notice that it expects it will
be unable to make any such future payment according to the terms of its bond
agreement. Although we classify a majority of our investment securities as
available-for-sale, management has not determined that any specific securities
will be disposed of prior to maturity and believes that we have both the ability
and the intent to hold those investments until a recovery of fair value,
including until maturity. Furthermore, we do not believe that we will be
required to sell any such securities prior to recovery of the unrealized losses.
Substantially all of the state, county and municipal securities were rated at
least "investment grade" by either S&P or Moody's, or both, as of March 31,
2010.
Our subsidiary bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta
("FHLB") and, accordingly, is required to own restricted stock in that
institution in amounts that may vary from time to time. These securities are
carried in the "other investments" category in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Because of the restrictions imposed, the stock may not be sold to other parties,
10
but is redeemable by the FHLB at the same price as that at which it was acquired
by the Company's subsidiary. We evaluate this security for impairment based on
the probability of ultimate recovery of the acquisition cost. No impairment has
been recognized based on this evaluation.
During the first three months of 2010, we did not sell any securities, nor were
there any transfers of available-for-sale securities to other categories.
Nonperforming Loans - As of March 31, 2010, there were $16,445 in nonaccrual
loans and no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest.
Earnings Per Common Share - Basic earnings per common share is computed by
dividing net income applicable to common shares by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by
dividing applicable net income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and any dilutive potential common shares and dilutive stock options.
It is assumed that all dilutive stock options are exercised at the beginning of
each period and that the proceeds are used to purchase shares of the Company's
common stock at the average market price during the period. All 2009 per share
information has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to a 5% stock
dividend effective December 15, 2009. Net income per common share and net income
per common share, assuming dilution, were computed as follows:

Stock-Based Compensation - Our 1998 stock option plan terminated on March 19,
2008 and no further options may be issued under the plan. A total of 362,267
unexpired and non-forfeited options outstanding under the plan remain
exercisable until their expiration dates.
Fair Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the price that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly fashion
between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level hierarchy is
used for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of the inputs to
the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. In developing
estimates of the fair values of assets and liabilities, no consideration of
large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets is
allowed. However, an entity is required to consider its own creditworthiness
when valuing its liabilities. For disclosure purposes, fair values for assets
and liabilities are shown in the level of the hierarchy that correlates with the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its
entirety.
The three levels of the fair value input hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs reflect quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or

Level 2 inputs reflect observable inputs that may consist of quoted market
prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices that are not in an
active market, or other inputs that are observable in the market and can be
corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities being valued.
Level 3 inputs reflect the use of pricing models and/or discounted cash flow
methodologies using other than contractual interest rates or methodologies that
incorporate a significant amount of management judgment, use of the entity's own
data, or other forms of unobservable data.

Level 2 inputs for our securities available-for-sale are obtained from an
independent third-party that uses a process that may incorporate current market
prices, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided
markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, other reference data and industry
and economic events that a market participant would be expected to use in
valuing the securities. Not all of the inputs listed apply to each individual
security at each measurement date. The independent third party assigns specific
securities into an "asset class" for the purpose of assigning the applicable
level of the fair value hierarchy used to value the securities. At March 31,
2010, those securities were valued using Level 2 inputs, as described above.
The following is a summary of the measurement attributes applicable to assets
and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the three
month period ended March 31, 2010 and the twelve month period ended December 31,
2009 and which remained outstanding at the end of each period:

The fair value measurements shown above were made to reduce cost-based
measurements to fair value measurements at initial recognition, or to adjust
fair value based measurements subsequent to initial recognition, due to changes
in the circumstances of individual assets during the period. For
collateral-dependent impaired loans, the measurements reflect our belief that we
will receive repayment solely from the liquidation of the underlying collateral.
As a practical expedient, such loans may be valued by comparing the fair value
of the collateral securing the loan with the loan's carrying value. If the
carrying value exceeds the fair value of the collateral, the excess is charged
to the allowance for loan losses. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds
the loan's carrying amount, no adjustment is made, the loan continues to be
carried at historical cost, and the loan is not included in the table.
The value of other real estate obtained through loan foreclosure is adjusted, if
needed, upon the acquisition of each property to the lower of the recorded
investment in the loan or the fair value of the property as determined by a
recently performed independent appraisal less the estimated costs to sell.
Similarly, the fair value of repossessions is measured by reference to dealers'
quotes or other market information believed to reliably reflect the value of the
specific property held. Immaterial adjustments may be made by management to
reflect property-specific factors such as age or condition. Losses recognized
when loans are initially transferred to or otherwise included in any of the
categories shown above are reported as loan losses. Subsequent to initial
recognition, changes in fair value measurements of other real estate and
repossessions are included in other income or other expenses, as applicable.

New Accounting Pronouncements - In January 2010, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") updated Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic
820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," to require enhanced fair value
disclosures. Specifically, we are or will be required to provide additional
information about fair values and fair value measurements as follows: (1) We
must provide a description of the reasons for, and the amounts of, significant
transfers in and out of Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements, and (2) for
fair value measurements using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs, we will
be required to present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances
and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). The
update requires that we expand our fair value measurement disclosures to provide
information for each class of assets and liabilities. Classes are described as
subsets of line items that appear in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The update
further requires that we provide additional disclosures about the valuation
techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and
non-recurring fair value measurements when the measurement bases are either
Level 2 or Level 3 inputs. The requirements relative to presenting information
about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of fair value measurements
using Level 3 inputs, will be effective for interim and annual periods of fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2010. The other enhanced disclosures are
required to be presented in interim and annual periods beginning after December
15, 2009.

Item 2. - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
(Dollar amounts, except per share data, are in thousands)
Changes in Financial Condition
During the first three months of 2010, our deposits increased by
$33,123, or 7.6%. We invested those funds primarily in available-for-sale
investment securities and liquid interest-earning accounts with other banks.
Market interest rates continue to be low and the yields we are realizing from
recent purchases of investment securities generally are lower than those we
realized from the securities held previously. We lengthened the maturity
structure of the recently purchased investments in order to obtain better yields
but also increased short-term investments in other banks to provide us with the
ability to reposition the portfolio in the event that interest rates begin to
rise in the future. Similarly, the lower interest rates paid on deposits in the
2010 period allowed us to decrease the overall rate on our interest-bearing
deposits compared with the same period last year. Meanwhile, loan demand
continues to be weak in our market areas. Loans outstanding increased by only
15
$256 during the first three months of 2010. Credit quality also continues to
present problems. Net loan charge-offs in the first quarter of 2010 totaled $993
compared with $755 for the 2009 three-month period.
Results of Operations
We recorded consolidated net income of $207 for the first three months
of 2010 compared with $414 for the same period of 2009. After deducting amounts
applicable to preferred stock and not available to common shareholders, net
income per common share was $.04 for the first three months of 2010 compared
with $.11 per common share for the first quarter of 2009. Net income per common
share, assuming dilution was $.04 for the 2010 three months and $.11 for the
2009 period. Net income per common share amounts for 2009 have been
retroactively adjusted to reflect a five percent stock dividend effective
December 15, 2009.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the principal source of our earnings. For the
first quarter of 2010, net interest income totaled $3,298, an increase of $515
or 18.5% over the amount for the same period of 2009. The yield on interest
earning assets decreased to 4.51% for the 2010 period, compared with 5.05% for
the 2009 period, and the average rates paid for interest bearing liabilities
were 2.09% and 3.02%, respectively. We reduced the average cost of interest
bearing time deposits in the 2010 three-month period to 2.50% compared with
3.71% for the same period of 2009. As a result, the average interest rate spread
for the 2010 period was 39 basis points higher than for the 2009 period and net
yield on earning assets increased to 2.69% in the 2010 period from 2.43% for the
2009 period.
Average loans in the 2010 period were $266,325, a decrease of $6,054,
or 2.2%, from the amount for the same period of 2009. This volume decrease more
than offset a 7 basis point increase in the yield earned on loans and interest
income on loans decreased to $4,004 for the 2010 period from $4,049 for the 2009
period. Management estimates that approximately $220 of previously accrued
interest income related to nonaccrual loans was reversed against income during
the 2010 period.
Average taxable securities for the 2010 quarter were $1,586 more than
for the same period of 2009. A 68 basis point reduction in the rate earned on
such securities led to the $221 reduction in income from such securities for the
2010 period.
As mentioned previously, yields on other short-term investments such as
interest-bearing deposits due from banks and federal funds sold were extremely
low in both the 2010 and the 2009 periods. The Company did not sell federal
funds during the first quarter of 2010 and the yield on such instruments during
the 2009 quarter resulted in a yield of only .15%. Despite their current low
earning potential, we believe that it is prudent at this time to maintain
relatively large amounts of such assets that can be shifted into other
categories of earning assets when it is advantageous to do so.
Interest rates paid for interest-bearing deposits decreased to 2.06%
for the 2010 period, compared with 3.00% for the 2009 period due to our response
to prevailing lower rates generally. The majority of our time deposit accounts
16
are issued with original maturities of 12 months or less. Consequently, the
rates we pay for such deposits generally follow the trends of overall market
rates.

We continue to pursue strategies that we believe will increase our
market share in our local market areas in Anderson and Oconee Counties of South
Carolina. We serve Oconee County from four offices which are located in Seneca,
Walhalla and Westminster and the Anderson County market is served from offices
in Anderson and Williamston.
Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
We provided $1,125 and $750 for loan losses in the first quarters of
2010 and 2009, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, the allowance for loan losses
was 2.31% of loans compared with 2.26% of loans at December 31, 2009 and 1.98%
as of March 31, 2009. During the 2010 three month period, net charge-offs
totaled $993, compared with $755 in net charge offs during the same period of
2009. As of March 31, 2010, nonaccrual loans totaled $16,445 and there were no
loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Approximately 82% of
those nonaccrual loans were secured by real estate. As of March 31, 2009,
nonaccrual loans totaled $14,634 and there were no loans 90 days or more past
due and still accruing interest. The activity in the allowance for loan losses
is summarized in the table below:

Potential problem loans include loans, other than non-performing loans,
that management has identified as having possible credit problems sufficient to
cast doubt upon the abilities of the borrowers to comply with the current
repayment terms. However, the amount of potential problem loans does not reflect
management's expectations of losses, if any, that may be realized from those
loans. As of March 31, 2010, approximately 90% of the dollar amount of potential
problem loans had real estate as collateral, 9% had vehicles and other items as
collateral, and approximately 1% represented unsecured loans.
South Carolina's 12.2% unemployment rate was the sixth highest rate of
unemployment of the 50 states as of March 31, 2010 compared with 11.4% for March
2009. The unemployment rates for Oconee and Anderson Counties were each
approximately 13% for March 2010 compared with 14% and 12%, respectively, for
March 31, 2009. Worsening of this condition or a prolonged period at or near
current levels, significant increases in prices for fuel and food, continuing
declines in the values of homes and other real properties, declining demand for
products manufactured locally, and other events could continue to have adverse
effects on those areas and potentially lead to further deterioration of the
abilities of our loan customers to repay their debts. These events could lead to
higher amounts of nonaccrual, past due and potential problem loans and higher
loan losses, all of which could result in higher provisions for loan losses.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $536 for the first quarter of 2010, compared
with $571 for the first quarter of 2009. Service charges on deposit accounts in
the 2010 period were $301 representing a decrease of $22 from the prior year
period. Debit card transaction fees for the 2010 period decreased by $4 from the
2009 amount. Other income for the 2010 period was $7 less than for the 2009
period. These decreases are the result of lower volumes of chargeable account
activity by our customers.
Noninterest Expenses
Noninterest expenses were $2,485 for the first quarter of 2010,
compared with $2,097 for the first quarter of 2009, representing an increase of
$388 or 18.5%. Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $62, or 5.2%, to
$1,119. We have chosen not to hire replacements for some departing employees
until general economic conditions begin to improve.
FDIC insurance expense increased to $398 for the 2010 period from $70
for the 2009 period due to significant changes in the FDIC's assessment bases
and the rates applied. Expenses related to FDIC insurance have increased in
recent periods due to a higher assessment base, increases in the assessment
rate, and special assessments imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. We believe that future deposit insurance expenses will be higher
than we experienced previously.
Income tax expense for the first quarter of 2010 decreased by $76 from
the amount for the same period of 2009 due to lower net income before income
19
taxes and proportionally higher amounts of tax-exempt investment income.
Tax-exempt interest income was 88.8% of income before income taxes in the 2010
period compared with 41.2% of income before income taxes for the 2009 period.
Liquidity
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future obligations through
the liquidation or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional
liabilities. We manage both assets and liabilities to achieve appropriate levels
of liquidity. Cash and short-term investments are our primary sources of asset
liquidity. These funds provide a cushion against short-term fluctuations in cash
flow from both deposits and loans. Securities available-for-sale provide our
principal source of secondary asset liquidity. However, the availability of this
source is influenced by market conditions to a significant extent. Individual
and commercial deposits are the primary sources of funds for our credit
activities. We also have significant amounts of credit availability under our
FHLB lines of credit.
As of March 31, 2010, the ratio of loans to total deposits was 56.9%,
compared with 61.2% as of December 31, 2009. Total deposits as of March 31, 2010
were $469,771, an increase of $33,123 or 7.6% over the amount as of December 31,
2009. Management believes that we have liquidity sources sufficient to meet our
operating needs.
Capital Resources
Our capital base has increased by $1,056 since December 31, 2009 as the
result of net income of $207 for the first three months of 2010, plus an $871
change in net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities, net of deferred
income tax effects, and $17 from the exercise of employee stock options, less
$39 cash dividends paid on our preferred stock.
The Company and its banking subsidiary (the "Bank") are subject to
regulatory risk-based capital adequacy standards. Under these standards, bank
holding companies and banks are required to maintain certain minimum ratios of
capital to risk-weighted assets and average total assets. Under the provisions
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA),
federal bank regulatory authorities are required to implement prescribed "prompt
corrective actions" upon the deterioration of the capital position of a bank. If
the capital position of an affected institution were to fall below certain
levels, increasingly stringent regulatory corrective actions are mandated.
The March 31, 2010 risk based capital ratios for the Company and the
Bank are presented in the following table, compared with the "well capitalized"
(Bank only) and minimum ratios under the regulatory definitions and guidelines:
Total
Tier 1 Capital Leverage
------ ------- --------
Community First Bancorporation ............ 14.2% 15.4% 8.5%
Community First Bank ...................... 12.6% 13.9% 7.5%
Minimum "well-capitalized" requirement .... 6.0% 10.0% 5.0%
Minimum requirement ....................... 4.0% 8.0% 4.0%

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, the Bank is a party to financial instruments
with off-balance-sheet risk including commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit. Such instruments have elements of credit risk in excess of
the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The exposure to credit loss in the
event of nonperformance by the other parties to the financial instruments for
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the
contractual notional amount of those instruments. Generally, the same credit
policies used for on-balance-sheet instruments, such as loans, are used in
extending loan commitments and standby letters of credit.
Following are the off-balance-sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts
represent credit risk:

Standby letters of credit ..................... 823

Loan commitments involve 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 some involve
payment of a fee. Many of the commitments are expected to expire without being
fully drawn; therefore, the total amount of loan commitments does not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer's creditworthiness
is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if any,
upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the
borrower. Collateral held varies but may include commercial and residential real
properties, accounts receivable, inventory and equipment.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing
standby letters of credit is the same as that involved in making loan
commitments to customers. Many letters of credit will expire without being drawn
upon and do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank
receives fees for loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The amount of
such fees was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
As described under "Liquidity," management believes that its various sources of
liquidity provide the resources necessary for the Bank to fund the loan
commitments and to perform under standby letters of credit, if the need arises.
Neither the Company nor the Bank is involved in other off-balance sheet
contractual relationships or transactions that could result in liquidity needs
or other commitments or significantly impact earnings.

Item 4T. - Controls and Procedures
Based on the evaluation required by 17 C.F.R. Section 240.13a-15(b) or
240.15d-15(b) of the issuer's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15(e) and 240.15d-15(e)), the issuer's chief
executive officer and chief financial officer concluded such controls and
procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, were effective.
There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over
financial reporting.
