BANK OF SOUTH CAROLINA CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 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 organization 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 months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2007, 31,041 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 5,000 shares granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and no
options granted for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Fair values were estimated on the date
of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used for the
2007 grants: dividend yield of 2.75%; historical volatility of 25.68%; risk-free interest rate of
4.70%; and expected lives of the options of 10 years. For purposes of the calculation, compensation
expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Total loans increased $11,688,669 or 7.56% to $166,221,045 at March 31, 2007 from $154,532,376 at
March 31, 2006 and increased $7,548,811 or 4.76% from $158,672,235 at December 31, 2006. The
increase in loans between March 2006 and March 2007 is primarily due to an increase in residential
mortgage loans of 25.94% as well as an increase of 7.47% and 9.47% in commercial loans and
commercial real estate loans, respectively.

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 three months ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006. Management believes that maintaining its
securities in the Available for Sale category provides greater flexibility in the management of the
overall investment portfolio. The average yield on investments at March 31, 2007 was 4.640%
compared to 4.448% at March 31, 2006. The carrying values of the investments available for sale at
March 31, 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 69.69% of average earning assets for the three months ended
March 31, 2007, and 67.94% for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2007 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
The Companys results of operations depends 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 increased $171,030 or 19.76% to $1,036,466, or basic and
diluted earnings per share of $.26 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, from $865,436, or
basic and diluted earnings per share of $.22 for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased $238,040 or 8.88% to $2,918,240 for the three months ended March 31,
2007, from $2,680,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Total interest and fee income
increased $647,431 or 17.79% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, to $4,287,106 from
$3,639,675 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Average interest earning assets increased
from $208.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, to $231.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. The yield on interest earning assets increased 43 basis points
between periods to 7.51% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to 7.08% for the same
period in 2006. This increase is primarily due to the increase in the yield on average loans of 59
basis points to 8.55% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to 7.96% for the three
months ended March 31, 2006. Total average commercial loans increased $6,939,232 or 5.61% from
$123,756,324 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, to $130,695,556 for 2007. There was also
an increase of $1,990,518 in average installment loans from $16,506,918 for the three months ended
March 31, 2006, to $18,497,436 for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The interest and fees on
loans increased $380,759 or 12.28% to $3,481,933 for the three months ended March 31, 2007,
compared to $3,101,174 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Interest and dividends on
investment securities increased 20.78% to $477,671 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from
$395,499 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase is due to an increase on
interest earned on the investment securities and an increase in the Companys investment portfolio.
Other interest income increased $184,500 or 129.02% to $327,502 for the three months ended March
31, 2007 from $143,002 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase is due to an
increase in the average balance of federal funds sold from $13,381,096 for the three months ended
March 31, 2006, to $25,483,099 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Total interest expense increased $409,391 or 42.67% to $1,368,866 for the three months ended March
31, 2007, from $959,475 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in interest
expense is primarily due to an increase in average cost of deposits. Interest on deposits for the
three months ended March 31, 2007, was $1,360,519 compared to $953,890 for the three months ended
March 31, 2006, an increase of $406,629 or 42.63%. Total interest bearing deposits averaged
approximately $161.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $141.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The average cost of interest bearing deposits
was 3.42% and 2.73% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase
of 69 basis points.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses is based on managements and the Loan Committees review and
evaluation of the loan portfolio and general economic conditions on a monthly basis and by the
Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. Managements review and evaluation of the allowance for
loan losses is based on a historical review of the loan portfolio performance, analysis of
individual loans, and additional risk factors that affect the quality and ultimately the
collectibility of the loan portfolio. These risk factors include: loan and credit administration
risk, economic conditions, portfolio risk, loan concentration risk and off balance sheet risk which
were added to the loan loss model during the first quarter of 2006. Loans are charged off when, in
the opinion of management, they are deemed to be uncollectible. Recognized losses are charged
against the allowance and subsequent recoveries are added to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is subject to periodic evaluation by various regulatory authorities
and may be subject to adjustment based upon information that is available to them at the
time of their examination.
All loan relationships are reviewed and classified in accordance with the Companys loan policy.
The Companys classifications are generally based on regulatory definitions of classified assets
for other loans especially mentioned, substandard loans, doubtful loans and loss loans. The Company
annually reviews its overall Loan Policy.
The allowance for loan losses consists of an estimated reserve for classified loans and an
estimated reserve for unclassified loans. Classified loans are assigned a loss estimate in the
allowance for loan loss model based on their risk grade. The loss estimate is based on regulatory
guidelines which the Company believes is an appropriate measure of the estimated loss on its
classified loans. The loss estimates for classified loans is 5% for other loans especially
mentioned and 15% for substandard loans. The loss estimates for doubtful and loss loans are 50%
and 100%, respectively. Loans on the Companys watch list have a loss estimate of 1.5%.
Unclassified loans are assigned a loss ratio in the allowance for loan loss model based on the
Companys average historical loss experience for the previous five years, adjusted quarterly. The
Company believes the five year historical loss ratio is a reasonable estimate of the existing
losses in the unclassified loan portfolio. In addition, the reserve includes unclassified past due
loans greater than 30 days at 2.5%. During the quarter ending March 31, 2006, the Company reviewed
its allowance for loan loss model and made changes to better reflect the risk in the portfolio.
The changes included adding additional risk factors to the model. Loan and credit administration
risks include collateral documentation risk, insurance risk and maintenance of borrowers financial
information risk. Economic conditions, international, national and local, have an impact on the
Bank and the Banks borrowers. Because the economic conditions are often macroeconomic in nature
and cannot be controlled by the bank, a risk factor of .0625% has been added to the model for this
risk. Portfolio risks include portfolio growth and trends as well as over margined real estate
lending risk. Risk factors of .055%, .075%, and .0575%, respectively, were added to the model for
each of the loan and credit administration risk. From time to time the Bank extends credit beyond
our normal collateral advance percentages in our real estate lending. An excessive level of this
lending practice may result in additional examiner scrutiny, competitive disadvantages, and
potential losses if the collateral becomes acquired by the Bank. Risk factors of .0625% and .25%
have been added to the model for portfolio growth and trends and over margined real estate lending
risks, respectively. The concentration risk factors include loan concentration and geographic
concentration. As of March 31, 2007, there were only five Standard Industrial Code groups that
comprised more than three percent of our total loans outstanding. The five Standard Industrial Code
groups are Finance, Insurance and Real-Estate, Service, Consumer, Retail Trade, and Construction.
The market area of the Bank is located along the coast and also located on an earthquake fault,
increasing the chances of a natural disaster which would impact the Bank and the Banks borrowers.
Risk factors of .06% and .0625%, respectively, were added to the model for each of the
concentration risks. Off balance sheet risk includes off balance sheet items that are unfunded
amounts under existing approved lines of credit,
14
letters of credit, Automated Clearing House activity and potential liability for recourse in the
mortgage loans we sold to investors. A risk factor of .025% has been added to the model for off
balance sheet risk.
Based on the evaluation described above, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of
$20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $60,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2007. The historical loss ratio used at March 31, 2007 was .071% compared to .205% at
March 31, 2006 and was based on a five-year historical average. The Company believes that the
five-year historical average is representative of the loss cycle of the portfolio. Classified
assets were $1.4 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $1.3 million at March 31, 2006.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, charge-offs of $2,263 were recorded. Recoveries of $1,757
were recorded to the allowance for loan losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, resulting
in an allowance for loan losses of $1,314,488 or .79% of total loans at March 31, 2007, compared to
$1,294,994 or .82% of total loans at December 31, 2006 and $1,073,731 or .70% or total loans at
March 31, 2006.
The Bank had impaired loans totaling $8,719 as of March 31, 2007, compared to $17,271 as of March
31, 2006. The impaired loans include non-accrual loans with balances at March 31, 2007 and 2006 of
$8,719 and $17,271 respectively. The Bank had no restructured loans at March 31, 2007 and one
restructured loan included in the non accrual loans totaling $1,864 at March 31, 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 six 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 March 31,
2007 and no loans over 90 days past due still accruing interest as of March 31, 2006.
Net charge-offs were $506 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to net charge- offs
of $3,445 for the three months ended March 31, 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 $190,480 unallocated reserves at March 31, 2007 related to other inherent risk in
the portfolio compared to unallocated reserves of $214,024 at March 31, 2006. The decrease in
unallocated reserves between periods is primarily due to a decrease in the average historical loss
ratio. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 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.
15
The local real estate market has had a reduction in sales and an increase in days on market but no
decline in prices after four years of significant price appreciation.
Other Income
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2007, increased $67,220 or 20.02% to $402,927
from $335,707 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase is primarily due to a
increase in mortgage banking income of $75,625 or 67.64% to $187,429 for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 as compared to $111,804 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase
was offset by a decrease in service charges, fees and commissions of $9,017 or 4.14%. The decrease
in the service charges and fees was caused by a decrease in service charges on business accounts.
This decrease was caused by an increase in the earnings credit and an increase in average balances
maintained, which offset the service charges.
Other Expense
Bank overhead increased $70,951 or 4.33% to $1,711,461 for the three months ended March 31, 2007,
from $1,640,510 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Salaries and employee benefits
increased $83,334 or 8.67% to $1,045,101 from $961,767 for the three months ended March 31, 2007
and 2006 respectively. This increase was due the increase in salaries and employee benefits as a
result of annual merit increases. Net occupancy expense increased $9,414 or 3.16% to $307,171 from
$297,757 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This increase was due
to an increase in monthly rent paid on our Summerville office and an increase in the rent paid on
the Meeting Street office. The rent increased on July 1, 2006 for the Summerville office and March
1, 2007 for the Meeting Street office.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Companys effective tax rate was 34.80% compared to
34.21% during the quarter ended March 31, 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. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had no interests in non-consolidated
special purpose entities.
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 $41,048,913 and $45,444,498 at March 31, 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. At March 31, 2007, and 2006, the
Company has recorded no liability for the current carrying amount of the obligation to perform as a
guarantor, as such amounts are not considered material. The maximum potential amount of
undiscounted future payments related to standby letters of credit at March 2007 and 2006 was
$421,602 and $634,402 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 March 31, 2007. The Company has forward sales commitments, totaling $2.6
million at March 31, 2007, to sell loans held for sale of $2.6 million. The fair value of these
commitments was not significant at March 31, 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 32.04% and 34.50% of total assets
at March 31, 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Banks liquidity ratio
was 26.86% and 33.33%, respectively.
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 March 31, 2007, of $24,169,486. 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 March 31, 2007, for the Bank is 12.33% and at March 31, 2006 was
11.83%. The Companys management does not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that may
result in the Companys capital resources materially increasing or decreasing.
17
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 March 31, 2007, that the Company and the Bank
meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
At March 31, 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% 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 December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised December 2004), Share-Based
Statement. Statement 123R sets accounting requirements for share-based compensation to
employees, including employee-stock-purchase-plans (ESPPs). It carries forward prior guidance on
accounting for awards to nonemployees. Accounting for employee-stock-ownership-plan transactions
(ESOPs) will continue to be accounted for in accordance with SOP 93-6. Awards to most nonemployee
directors will be accounted for as employee awards. Statement 123R replaces FASB Statements No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees. The Company adopted FAS 123R during the first quarter ending March 31,
2006. The Company has recorded an expense of $49,995 in salaries for the unvested awards granted to
employees prior to the effective date.
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 155,
Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instrumentsan 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.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assetsan
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
18
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 publicly-held 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 conditions 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 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 Opinion1967. EITF 06-4 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after
19
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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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, made up of the President and
Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Secretary, Executive Vice President and
Treasurer, Senior Vice President (Operations), Assistant Vice President (Audit Compliance Officer),
Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President (Credit Department). In July 2005, the Executive Vice
President and Secretary retired and was replaced by an Executive Vice President. The Senior Vice
President (Credit Department) after an extended medical leave went on permanent disability during
the second quarter of 2006. This position on the Disclosure Committee has not been filled. 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.
