1. We acknowledge your response to comment one of our letter to you dated December 3, 2013. However, it appears that Savannah provided First Community with budget projections for the current and future fiscal years. The staff considers two years of projections material. Please revise your disclosure to include any material projections presented to First Community or its agent, including revenue, income, and income per share data.

Response to Comment 1:
The Company has revised its disclosure in Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (“Amendment No. 3”) to include the requested disclosure. See pages 78 through 81 of Amendment No. 3.
