          achieve  expected  gains,  revenue growth and/or expense  savings from
          such endeavors;

Item 1.  Business

                              FORM OF ORGANIZATION

         Community  First  Bancorporation  (the  "Company") is a South  Carolina
corporation and a bank holding company incorporated on May 23, 1997. The Company
commenced  operations on October 16, 1997, upon effectiveness of the acquisition
of Community First Bank (the "Bank") as a wholly owned subsidiary. The principal
business of the Company is ownership and operation of the Bank.

                               BUSINESS OF BANKING

General

         The Bank is a South  Carolina  state  bank  which was  incorporated  in
December,  1988, and commenced  operations as a commercial bank in March,  1990.
The Bank operates from its offices in Walhalla,  Seneca,  Anderson,  Westminster
and Williamston,  South Carolina.  The main office is located at 3685 Blue Ridge
Boulevard,  in Walhalla,  South Carolina;  the Seneca offices are located at 449
Highway 123 Bypass, and 1600 Sandifer Boulevard in Seneca,  South Carolina;  the
Anderson  office  is  located  at 4002  Clemson  Boulevard  in  Anderson,  South
Carolina;  the  Williamston  office  is  located  at 208  East  Main  Street  in
Williamston,  South Carolina; and the Westminster office is located at 1101 East
Main Street, Westminster, South Carolina 29693.

Services and Products Offered

         The Bank  offers a full  array of  commercial  bank  services.  Deposit
services include business and personal checking accounts, NOW accounts,  savings
accounts,  money market  accounts,  various term  certificates  of deposit,  IRA
accounts, and other deposit services.  Most of the Bank's deposits are attracted
from individuals and small  businesses.  The Bank does not offer trust services,
and does not accept brokered deposits.

         The Bank  offers  secured  and  unsecured,  short-to-intermediate  term
loans,  with  floating  and fixed  interest  rates for  commercial  and consumer
purposes.  Consumer loans include generally car loans,  home equity  improvement
loans  (secured  by first and second  mortgages),  personal  expenditure  loans,
education  loans,  and  overdraft  lines of  credit.  Commercial  loans  include
generally short term unsecured loans,  short and  intermediate  term real estate
mortgage  loans,  loans  secured by listed  stocks,  loans secured by equipment,
inventory,  and accounts  receivable.  Management believes that the credit staff
possesses knowledge of the community and lending skills sufficient to enable the
Bank to maintain a sufficient volume of high quality loans.

         Management of the Bank  believes that the loan  portfolio is adequately
diversified.  There are no significant concentrations of loans in any particular
individuals,  industries or groups of related  individuals or industries and the
Bank has no foreign loans. The loan portfolio  consists  primarily of extensions
of credit to businesses  and  individuals in its service areas within Oconee and
Anderson Counties of South Carolina. The economy of this area is diversified and
does not depend on any one industry or group of related  industries.  Management
has  established  loan policies and practices  that include set  limitations  on
loan-to-collateral  value for different  types of collateral,  requirements  for
appraisals,  obtaining and maintaining current credit and financial  information
on borrowers, and credit approvals.

         Other services  offered by the Bank include  residential  mortgage loan
origination  services,  safe deposit boxes, night depository  service,  VISA and
MasterCard credit cards, tax deposits,  sale of U.S.  Treasury bonds,  notes and
bills and other U.S. government securities (through a correspondent),  travelers
checks,  and twenty-four hour automated  teller service.  The ATM is part of the
Cirrus network.

                                        2

<PAGE>

         As  of  December  31,  2006,  local  governmental   deposits  comprised
approximately 13% of the Bank's total deposits.  These deposits are concentrated
among a few local governmental entities and are somewhat volatile. Management of
the Bank has,  however,  taken steps that it believes are sufficient to minimize
to the greatest  extent  possible the impact of such  volatibility on the Bank's
liquidity position,  including  maintaining  membership in the Federal Home Loan
Bank of Atlanta in order to gain access to its credit programs.

Employees

         At December 31, 2007, the Company employed 90 people.

Competition

         The banking laws of South  Carolina  allow  statewide  branching,  and,
therefore, commercial banking in the state is highly competitive. South Carolina
law also permits bank holding  companies in other states with reciprocal laws to
acquire  depository  institutions  in  South  Carolina,  and  most of the  other
financial  institutions  in the  Oconee  and  Anderson  County  areas are branch
offices of large, regional banks. Further,  Congress has enacted the Riegle-Neal
Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, which has increased the
ability of bank holding companies and banks to operate across state lines.

         Banks generally compete with other financial  institutions  through the
banking  services and products  offered,  the pricing of services,  the level of
service provided,  the convenience and availability of services,  and the degree
of expertise  and personal  concern  with which  services are offered.  The Bank
encounters  strong  competition  from most of the financial  institutions in the
Bank's market areas, which generally encompass Oconee County and the immediately
surrounding area and Anderson County and the immediately surrounding area. As of
June 30, 2007,  the most recent date for which  information  is  available,  the
Bank's primary  competitors in its Oconee County market area were 11 other banks
and savings and loan associations  with 19 branch  locations.  Total deposits in
the county were $1.0 billion,  of which the Bank had a 22.34% market share.  The
Bank's  primary  competitors  in its Anderson  County market area as of June 30,
2007  were 18 other  banks  and  savings  and loan  associations  with 62 branch
locations.  Total  deposits in Anderson  County were $2.3 billion,  of which the
Bank had a 4.25% market share.  Additionally,  in the conduct of certain banking
business,  the Bank also  competes with consumer  finance  companies,  insurance
companies, money market mutual funds, and other financial institutions,  some of
which are not subject to the same degree of regulation and restrictions  imposed
upon the Bank.

         Many of the Bank's competitors have substantially greater resources and
lending limits than the Bank and offer certain  services,  such as international
banking and trust services,  that the Bank does not provide.  The Bank believes,
however,  that its relatively  small size permits it to offer more  personalized
services than many of its  competitors.  The Bank attempts to compensate for its
lower lending limits by participating larger loans with other institutions.

                         EFFECT OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION

         Bank  holding  companies  and banks  are  extensively  regulated  under
federal and state law. To the extent that the  following  information  describes
statutory  and  regulatory  provisions,  it is  qualified  in  its  entirety  by
reference to such  statutes and  regulations.  Any change in  applicable  law or
regulation may have a material effect on the business of the Holding Company and
the Bank.

General

         As a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act
("BHCA"),  the Company is subject to supervision,  and to regular  inspection by
the Federal  Reserve.  The Company is also  subject to  regulation  by the State
Board.  The Bank is a state bank  subject to  regulation  by the South  Carolina
State  Board  of  Financial  Institutions  ("State  Board")  and the  FDIC.  The
following  discussion  summarizes  certain aspects of those laws and regulations
that  affect  the  Company  and the  Bank.  Proposals  to  change  the  laws and
regulations  governing the banking  industry are frequently  raised in Congress,
the state  legislature  and before the various  bank  regulatory  agencies.  The
likelihood  and timing of any changes and the impact such changes  might have on
the Company and the Bank are difficult to determine.

                                        3

<PAGE>
         As discussed below under the caption "Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act", Congress
has adopted  extensive  changes in the laws  governing  the  financial  services
industry.  Among the changes  adopted  are  creation  of the  financial  holding
company, a type of bank holding company with powers that greatly exceed those of
standard  holding  companies,  and  creation  of  the  financial  subsidiary,  a
subsidiary that can be used by national banks to engage in many, though not all,
of the same  activities  in which a financial  holding  company may engage.  The
legislation  also establishes the concept of functional  regulation  whereby the
various financial activities in which financial institutions engage are overseen
by the regulator with the relevant  regulatory  experience.  Neither the Company
nor the Bank has yet made a decision as to how to adapt this  legislation to its
use.  Accordingly,  the  following  discussion  relates to the  supervisory  and
regulatory  provisions  that apply to the Company and the Bank as they currently
operate.

         Under the BHCA, the Company's  activities and those of its subsidiaries
are limited to banking, managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or
performing services for its subsidiaries or engaging in any other activity which
the Federal  Reserve  determines to be so closely related to banking or managing
or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.  The BHCA prohibits the
Company  from  acquiring  direct  or  indirect  control  of more  than 5% of the
outstanding  voting stock or substantially all of the assets of any bank or from
merging or  consolidating  with  another  bank  holding  company  without  prior
approval of the Federal  Reserve.  In making  such  determinations,  the Federal
Reserve is required to consider  whether the performance of such activities by a
bank holding company or its  subsidiaries  can reasonably be expected to produce
benefits to the public such as greater  convenience,  increased  competition  or
gains in  efficiency  that  outweigh  possible  adverse  effects,  such as undue
concentration  of  resources,  decreased  or unfair  competition,  conflicts  of
interest or unsound banking practices.

         Additionally,  the BHCA prohibits the Company from engaging in, or from
acquiring  ownership or control of more than 5% of the outstanding  voting stock
of any  company  engaged in, a  non-banking  business  unless  such  business is
determined by the Federal  Reserve to be so closely  related to banking as to be
properly incident thereto.

         As  discussed  below under  "Gramm-Leach-Bliley  Act",  a bank  holding
company that meets certain  requirements may now qualify as a financial  holding
company  and  thereby  significantly  increase  the  variety of  services it may
provide and the investments it may make.

         In addition to  regulation by the Federal  Reserve under the BHCA,  the
Company is also subject to supervision  and  regulation by the State Board.  The
Company  must  provide  the State  Board with  information  with  respect to its
financial condition, operations,  management, and inter-company relationships of
the Company and its  subsidiaries.  The State Board may also  require such other
information as is necessary to keep itself informed about whether the provisions
of South Carolina law and the  regulations  and orders issued  thereunder by the
State Board have been complied with,  and the State Board may make  examinations
of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Obligations of the Company to its Subsidiary Bank

         A number of obligations  and  restrictions  are imposed on bank holding
companies  and their  depository  institution  subsidiaries  by Federal  law and
regulatory  policy that are designed to reduce  potential  loss  exposure to the
depositors of such  depository  institutions  and to the FDIC insurance funds in
the event the depository  institution  is in danger of becoming  insolvent or is
insolvent.  For example, under the policy of the Federal Reserve with respect to
bank holding company operations,  a bank holding company is required to serve as
a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository  institutions and to
commit resources to support such  institutions in  circumstances  where it might
not do so absent such policy. In addition,  the "cross-guarantee"  provisions of
the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Act,  as  amended  ("FDIA"),  require  insured
depository  institutions under common control to reimburse the FDIC for any loss
suffered or reasonably  anticipated by the Deposit Insurance Fund of the FDIC as

                                        4

<PAGE>

a result of the default of a commonly controlled insured depository  institution
or for any  assistance  provided  by the FDIC to a commonly  controlled  insured
depository institution in danger of default. The FDIC may decline to enforce the
cross-guarantee  provisions  if it  determines  that a  waiver  is in  the  best
interest of the Deposit Insurance Fund. The FDIC's claim for damages is superior
to claims of stockholders of the insured  depository  institution or its holding
company  but is  subordinate  to claims of  depositors,  secured  creditors  and
holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of the commonly  controlled
insured depository institutions.

         The FDIA also provides that amounts  received from the  liquidation  or
other resolution of any insured  depository  institution by any receiver must be
distributed (after payment of secured claims) to pay the deposit  liabilities of
the  institution  prior to payment  of any other  general  or  unsecured  senior
liability,   subordinated  liability,  general  creditor  or  stockholder.  This
provision gives depositors a preference over general and subordinated  creditors
and  stockholders  in the event a receiver is appointed to distribute the assets
of the Bank.

         Any capital  loans by a bank holding  company to any of its  subsidiary
banks are  subordinate  in right of payment  to  deposits  and to certain  other
indebtedness of such subsidiary  bank. In the event of a bank holding  company's
bankruptcy,  any  commitment  by the bank  holding  company  to a  federal  bank
regulatory  agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary  bank will be assumed
by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

Capital Adequacy Guidelines for Bank Holding Companies and State Banks

         The various federal bank regulators,  including the Federal Reserve and
the FDIC,  have adopted  risk-based  capital  requirements  for  assessing  bank
holding company and bank capital adequacy. These standards define what qualifies
as capital and  establish  minimum  capital  standards in relation to assets and
off-balance sheet exposures, as adjusted for credit risks.

         The Company's and the Bank's  December 31, 2007 ratios are set forth in
the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2007 under the
caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis -- Capital Resources."

         Failure to meet capital  guidelines could subject the Bank to a variety
of enforcement remedies,  ranging from, for example, a prohibition on the taking
of brokered  deposits to the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC or the
appointment of a receiver for the Bank.

         The risk-based  capital standards of both the Federal Reserve Board and
the FDIC explicitly identify  concentrations of credit risk and the risk arising
from non-traditional  activities,  as well as an institution's ability to manage
these  risks,  as  important  factors to be taken into  account by the agency in
assessing an institution's overall capital adequacy. The capital guidelines also
provide that an institution's exposure to a decline in the economic value of its
capital due to changes in interest rates be considered by the agency as a factor
in  evaluating a bank's  capital  adequacy.  The Federal  Reserve Board also has
issued additional  capital  guidelines for bank holding companies that engage in
certain trading activities.

Payment of Dividends

         The  Company is a legal  entity  separate  and  distinct  from its bank
subsidiary.  Most of the  revenues of the  Company  are  expected to result from
dividends  paid to the Company by the Bank.  There are statutory and  regulatory
requirements  applicable to the payment of dividends by subsidiary banks as well
as by the Company to its  stockholders.  It is not anticipated  that the Company
will pay cash dividends in the near future.

Certain Transactions by the Company with its Affiliates

         Federal  law  regulates   transactions  between  the  Company  and  its
affiliates,  including  the  amount of the  Bank's  loans to or  investments  in

                                        5

<PAGE>

nonbank affiliates and the amount of advances to third parties collateralized by
securities of an affiliate. Further, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries
are prohibited  from engaging in certain tie-in  arrangements in connection with
any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing of services.

FDIC Insurance Assessments

         The FDIC merged the Bank  Insurance  Fund and the  Savings  Association
Insurance  Fund to form the Deposit  Insurance Fund ("DIF") on March 31, 2006 in
accordance  with the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Reform Act of 2005.  The FDIC
maintains the DIF by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium. The
amount each institution is assessed is based upon statutory factors that include
the balance of insured  deposits  as well as the degree of risk the  institution
poses to the  insurance  fund.  The FDIC uses a risk-based  premium  system that
assesses higher rates on those  institutions that pose greater risks to the DIF.
Under the rule adopted by the FDIC in November 2006,  beginning January 1, 2007,
the FDIC placed each institution in one of four risk categories using a two-step
process based first on capital ratios (the capital group assignment) and then on
other relevant information (the supervisory group assignment).  Since January 1,
2007, rates have ranged between 5 and 43 cents per $100 in assessable deposits.

Regulation of the Bank

         The Bank is also subject to  regulation  and  examination  by the South
Carolina state bank examiners. In addition, the Bank is subject to various other
state and  federal  laws and  regulations,  including  state  usury  laws,  laws
relating  to  fiduciaries,  consumer  credit  laws and laws  relating  to branch
banking. The Bank's loan operations are also subject to certain federal consumer
credit laws and regulations promulgated thereunder,  including,  but not limited
to: the federal  Truth-In-Lending  Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to
consumer  borrowers;  the Home  Mortgage  Disclosure  Act,  requiring  financial
institutions to provide certain  information  concerning their mortgage lending;
the  Equal  Credit  Opportunity  Act  and  the  Fair  Housing  Act,  prohibiting
discrimination on the basis of certain  prohibited  factors in extending credit;
and the Fair Debt Collection  Act,  governing the manner in which consumer debts
may be collected by collection agencies.  The deposit operations of the Bank are
also subject to the Truth in Savings Act,  requiring  certain  disclosures about
rates paid on savings  accounts;  the Expedited  Funds  Availability  Act, which
deals with disclosure of the availability of funds deposited in accounts and the
collection  and return of checks by banks;  the Right to Financial  Privacy Act,
which imposes a duty to maintain certain  confidentiality  of consumer financial
records  and the  Electronic  Funds  Transfer  Act and  regulations  promulgated
thereunder,  which govern  automatic  deposits to and  withdrawals  from deposit
accounts and customers' rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated
teller machines and other electronic banking services.  The Bank is also subject
to the Bank Secrecy Act,  dealing  with,  among other  things,  the reporting of
certain currency transactions;  the Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use
and provision of information to credit reporting  agencies;  and the USA Patriot
Act, dealing with, among other things, requiring the establishment of anti-money
laundering  programs,  including standards for verifying customer information at
account opening.

         The  Bank  is  also  subject  to  the  requirements  of  the  Community
Reinvestment  Act (the  "CRA").  The CRA imposes on  financial  institutions  an
affirmative  and  ongoing  obligation  to meet the credit  needs of their  local
communities,  including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods,  consistent with
the safe and sound operation of those institutions. Each financial institution's
actual performance in meeting community credit needs is evaluated as part of the
examination process, and also is considered in evaluating mergers,  acquisitions
and applications to open a branch or facility.

Other Safety and Soundness Regulations

         Prompt  Corrective  Action.  The federal  banking  agencies  have broad
powers under  current  federal law to take prompt  corrective  action to resolve
problems of insured depository institutions.  The extent of these powers depends

                                        6
<PAGE>

upon whether the  institutions in question are "well  capitalized,"  "adequately
capitalized,"    "undercapitalized,"    "significantly    undercapitalized"   or
"critically undercapitalized."

         A bank that is "undercapitalized"  becomes subject to provisions of the
FDIA restricting payment of capital distributions and management fees; requiring
FDIC to monitor the condition of the bank; requiring submission by the bank of a
capital  restoration  plan;  prohibiting the acceptance of employee benefit plan
deposits;  restricting  the growth of the  bank's  assets  and  requiring  prior
approval  of  certain  expansion  proposals.   A  bank  that  is  "significantly
undercapitalized" is also subject to restrictions on compensation paid to senior
management  of the bank,  and a bank that is  "critically  undercapitalized"  is
further subject to  restrictions on the activities of the bank and  restrictions
on payments of subordinated debt of the bank. The purpose of these provisions is
to require banks with less than adequate capital to act quickly to restore their
capital and to have the FDIC move promptly to take over banks that are unwilling
or unable to take such steps.

         Brokered Deposits.  Under current FDIC regulations,  "well capitalized"
banks may accept brokered deposits without restriction, "adequately capitalized"
banks may accept  brokered  deposits  with a waiver  from the FDIC  (subject  to
certain  restrictions on payment of rates), while  "undercapitalized"  banks may
not accept brokered  deposits.  The regulations  provide that the definitions of
"well capitalized", "adequately capitalized" and "undercapitalized" are the same
as the  definitions  adopted by the agencies to implement the prompt  corrective
action provisions described in the previous paragraph.

Interstate Banking

         Under the Riegle-Neal  Interstate Banking and Branching  Efficiency Act
of 1994 the Company and any other  adequately  capitalized  bank holding company
located in South  Carolina can acquire a bank located in any other state,  and a
bank  holding  company  located  outside  South  Carolina  can acquire any South
Carolina-based  bank, in either case subject to certain  deposit  percentage and
other  restrictions.  The legislation  also provides that, in any state that has
not previously elected to prohibit  out-of-state banks from operating interstate
branches within its territory,  adequately  capitalized and managed bank holding
companies can  consolidate  their  multistate bank operations into a single bank
subsidiary and branch interstate through  acquisitions.  De novo branching by an
out-of-state bank is permitted only if it is expressly  permitted by the laws of
the host state. The authority of a bank to establish and operate branches within
a state will continue to be subject to applicable  state branching  laws.  South
Carolina  law was amended,  effective  July 1, 1996,  to permit such  interstate
branching but not de novo branching by an  out-of-state  bank.

         The  Riegle-Neal  Act,  together  with  legislation  adopted  in  South
Carolina,  resulted in a number of South  Carolina banks being acquired by large
out-of-state  bank  holding  companies.  Size  gives the  larger  banks  certain
advantages in competing for business from larger corporations.  These advantages
include  higher  lending limits and the ability to offer services in other areas
of South  Carolina and the region.  As a result,  the Company does not generally
attempt to compete  for the banking  relationships  of large  corporations,  but
concentrates its efforts on small to medium-sized businesses and on individuals.
The  Company  believes it has  competed  effectively  in this market  segment by
offering quality, personal service.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

         The  Gramm-Leach-Bliley  Act,  which  makes it easier for  affiliations
between banks,  securities firms and insurance  companies to take place,  became
effective  in March  2000.  The Act  removes  Depression-era  barriers  that had
separated  banks and  securities  firms,  and seeks to  protect  the  privacy of
consumers' financial information.

         Under provisions of the new legislation and regulations  adopted by the
appropriate regulators, banks, securities firms and insurance companies are able
to structure new affiliations  through a holding company  structure or through a

                                        7
<PAGE>

financial subsidiary. The legislation creates a new type of bank holding company
called a "financial  holding  company" which has powers much more extensive than
those of standard holding companies.  These expanded powers include authority to
engage in "financial activities," which are activities that are (1) financial in
nature;  (2)  incidental  to  activities  that are  financial in nature;  or (3)
complementary  to a  financial  activity  and that do not  impose  a safety  and
soundness risk. Significantly,  the permitted financial activities for financial
holding  companies include authority to engage in merchant banking and insurance
activities,  including insurance portfolio investing. A bank holding company can
qualify as a financial holding company and expand the services it offers only if
all of its subsidiary depository institutions are well-managed, well-capitalized
and  have  received  a  rating  of   "satisfactory"   on  their  last  Community
Reinvestment Act examination.

         The  legislation  also  creates  another  new type of  entity  called a
"financial subsidiary." A financial subsidiary may be used by a national bank or
a group of national banks to engage in many of the same activities permitted for
a financial holding company, though several of these activities,  including real
estate development or investment,  insurance or annuity underwriting,  insurance
portfolio  investing and merchant  banking,  are reserved for financial  holding
companies.  A bank's  investment  in a financial  subsidiary  affects the way in
which the bank calculates its regulatory capital, and the assets and liabilities
of financial  subsidiaries  may not be consolidated  with those of the bank. The
bank must also be certain that its risk  management  procedures  are adequate to
protect it from  financial and  operational  risks created both by itself and by
any financial subsidiary.  Further, the bank must establish policies to maintain
the separate corporate  identities of the bank and its financial  subsidiary and
to prevent each from becoming liable for the obligations of the other.

         The Act also  establishes  the  concept  of  "functional  supervision,"
meaning that  similar  activities  should be  regulated  by the same  regulator.
Accordingly,  the Act spells out the regulatory authority of the bank regulatory
agencies,  the Securities and Exchange Commission and state insurance regulators
so that each type of activity is  supervised by a regulator  with  corresponding
expertise.  The Federal  Reserve Board is intended to be an umbrella  supervisor
with the  authority  to  require a bank  holding  company or  financial  holding
company  or any  subsidiary  of  either  to  file  reports  as to its  financial
condition,  risk management  systems,  transactions with depository  institution
subsidiaries  and  affiliates,  and compliance  with any federal law that it has
authority to enforce.

         Although the Act reaffirms that states are the regulators for insurance
activities  of  all  persons,  including   federally-chartered  banks,  the  Act
prohibits  states from preventing  depository  institutions and their affiliates
from conducting insurance activities.

         The Act also  establishes  a minimum  federal  standard  of  privacy to
protect the confidentiality of a consumer's  personal financial  information and
gives the consumer the power to choose how personal financial information may be
used by financial  institutions.

         The Act and the  regulations  adopted  pursuant  to the Act  create new
opportunities  for the Company to offer  expanded  services to  customers in the
future,  though  the  Company  has not yet  determined  what the  nature  of the
expanded  services  might be or when the Company might find it feasible to offer
them. The Act has increased competition from larger financial  institutions that
are  currently  more  capable  than  the  Company  of  taking  advantage  of the
opportunity  to  provide a  broader  range of  services.  However,  the  Company
continues to believe that its commitment to providing high quality, personalized
service to customers will permit it to remain competitive in its market area.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

         The Sarbanes-Oxley Act became effective in 2002, and mandated extensive
reforms and requirements for public companies. The SEC has adopted extensive new
regulations  pursuant  to  the  requirements  of  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act.  The
Sarbanes-Oxley  Act and the SEC's new  regulations  have increased the Company's
cost of doing  business,  particularly  its fees for internal and external audit
services  and  legal  services,  and the law and  regulations  are  expected  to
continue  to do so.  However,  the  Company  does  not  believe  that it will be
affected  by  Sarbanes-Oxley  and the  new SEC  regulations  in  ways  that  are
materially  different or more  onerous  than those of other public  companies of
similar size and in similar businesses.

Legislative Proposals

         Proposed  legislation which could significantly  affect the business of
banking is introduced in Congress from time to time. For example, numerous bills
are pending in Congress and the South Carolina  Legislature  to provide  various
forms of relief to  homeowners  from  foreclosure  of  mortgages  as a result of
publicity surrounding economic problems resulting from subprime mortgage lending
and the economic adjustments in national real estate markets.  Management of the
Bank cannot  predict the future  course of such  legislative  proposals or their
impact on the Company and the Bank should they be adopted.

Fiscal and Monetary Policy

         Banking is a business  which depends to a large extent on interest rate
differentials. In general, the difference between the interest paid by a bank on
its deposits and its other borrowings and the interest received by a bank on its
loans  and  securities  holdings  constitutes  the  major  portion  of a  bank's
earnings.  Thus, the earnings and growth of the Company and the Bank are subject
to the influence of economic  conditions  generally,  both domestic and foreign,
and also to the  monetary  and  fiscal  policies  of the  United  States and its
agencies,  particularly the Federal Reserve.  The Federal Reserve  regulates the
supply of money through various means,  including open-market dealings in United
States government  securities,  the discount rate at which banks may borrow from
the Federal Reserve,  and the reserve  requirements on deposits.  The nature and
timing of any changes in such  policies  and their impact on the Company and the
Bank cannot be predicted.

Further Information

         Further  information  about the business of the Company and the Bank is
set  forth in this  Form  10-K  under  Item 7  -"Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Item 1A. Risk Factors

                                  RISK FACTORS

                          Risks Related to Our Business

         Our growth  strategy will require  future  increases in capital that we
may not be able to accomplish.

         We are required by banking  regulators  to maintain  various  ratios of
capital to assets.  As our assets grow we expect our  capital  ratios to decline
unless we can increase our earnings or raise sufficient new capital to keep pace
with asset growth.  Our ability to raise  additional  capital,  if needed,  will
depend,  among other things,  on conditions in the capital markets at that time,
which are outside our control,  and on our financial  condition and performance.
If we are unable to limit a capital ratio decline by increasing our capital,  we
will have to  restrict  our asset  growth as we approach  the  minimum  required
capital to asset ratios.

         We may be unable to successfully manage our sustained growth.

         Our future  profitability  will depend in part on our ability to manage
growth  successfully.  Our ability to manage growth  successfully will depend on
our  ability to  maintain  cost  controls  and asset  quality  while  attracting
additional loans and deposits, as well as on factors beyond our control, such as
economic conditions and interest rate trends. If we grow too quickly and are not
able to control  costs and  maintain  asset  quality,  growth  could  materially
adversely affect our financial performance.


                                       9
<PAGE>

         We depend on the services of a number of key  personnel,  and a loss of
any of those  personnel  could  disrupt  our  operations  and  result in reduced
revenues.

         We are a relationship-driven  organization.  Our growth and development
to date have  depended  in large part on the  efforts  of our senior  management
team.  These senior  officers  have primary  contact with our  customers and are
extremely important in maintaining personalized  relationships with our customer
base,  which are key aspects of our business  strategy,  and in  increasing  our
market  presence.  The  unexpected  loss of services of one or more of these key
employees  could have a material  adverse  effect on our operations and possibly
result in  reduced  revenues  if we were  unable to find  suitable  replacements
promptly.

         If our loan customers do not pay us as they have  contracted to, we may
experience losses.

         Our  principal  revenue  producing  business  is making  loans.  If our
customers do not repay the loans, we will suffer losses. Even though we maintain
an allowance for loan losses, the amount of the allowance may not be adequate to
cover the losses we  experience.  We attempt to mitigate this risk by a thorough
review of the  creditworthiness of loan customers.  Nevertheless,  there is risk
that  our  credit  evaluations  will  prove  to be  inaccurate  due  to  changed
circumstances or otherwise.

         Our business is concentrated in the Upstate area of South Carolina, and
a downturn in the economy of the area,  a decline in area real estate  values or
other events in our market area may adversely affect our business.

         Substantially  all of our  business is located in the  Upstate  area of
South Carolina.  As a result, our financial  condition and results of operations
may be  affected  by changes  in the  Upstate  economy.  A  prolonged  period of
economic  recession,  a general decline in real estate values in our market area
or other  adverse  economic  conditions  in the Upstate and South  Carolina  may
result in decreases in demand for our services, increases in nonpayment of loans
and  decreases in the value of  collateral  securing  loans,  which could have a
material adverse effect on our business,  future prospects,  financial condition
or results of operations.

                                       10

         We face strong  competition from larger,  more established  competitors
which may adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

         We encounter strong competition from financial  institutions  operating
in the Upstate area of South Carolina.  In the conduct of our business,  we also
compete with credit unions,  insurance companies,  money market mutual funds and
other financial  institutions,  some of which are not subject to the same degree
of regulation as we are. Many of these  competitors have  substantially  greater
resources  and  lending  abilities  than we have  and  offer  services,  such as
investment  banking,  trust and  international  banking  services that we do not
provide.  We believe that we have been able to, and will continue to be able to,
compete  effectively with these institutions  because of our experienced bankers
and  personalized  service,  as well as through  loan  participations  and other
strategies and techniques. However, we cannot promise that we are correct in our
belief.  If we are wrong,  our ability to operate  profitably  may be negatively
affected.

         Technological  changes  affect  our  business,  and we may  have  fewer
resources than many of our competitors to invest in technological improvements.

         The   financial   services   industry   continues   to  undergo   rapid
technological  changes  with  frequent  introductions  of new  technology-driven
products and services.  In addition to enabling financial  institutions to serve
clients better, the effective use of technology may increase  efficiency and may
enable financial institutions to reduce costs. Our future success may depend, in
part,  upon our ability to use technology to provide  products and services that
provide  convenience to customers and to create  additional  efficiencies in our
operations.  We may need to make significant  additional capital  investments in
technology in the future,  and we may not be able to  effectively  implement new
technology-driven   products  and  services.   Many  of  our  competitors   have
substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements.

         Our  profitability and liquidity may be affected by changes in interest
rates and economic conditions.

         Our  profitability  depends upon our net interest income,  which is the
difference between interest earned on our interest earning assets, such as loans
and investment securities, and interest expense on interest bearing liabilities,
such as deposits  and  borrowings.  Our net  interest  income will be  adversely
affected  if market  interest  rates  change  such that the  interest  we pay on
deposits and borrowings  increases  faster than the interest earned on loans and
investments,  or,  conversely,  if the interest  earned on loans and investments
decreases  faster than the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings.  Interest
rates,  and  consequently  our results of  operations,  are  affected by general
economic  conditions  (domestic  and foreign) and fiscal and monetary  policies.
Monetary and fiscal  policies may  materially  affect the level and direction of
interest  rates.  Beginning in June 2004 through June 2006, the Federal  Reserve
raised rates 17 times for a total increase of 4.25%. Increases in interest rates
generally  decrease the market values of interest earning  investments and loans
held and therefore may  adversely  affect our liquidity and earnings.  Increased
interest rates also generally  affect the volume of mortgage loan  originations,
the resale value of mortgage  loans  originated  for resale,  and the ability of
borrowers to perform under existing loans of all types.  Beginning September 18,
2007,  the  Federal  Reserve has  decreased  interest  rates five times  through
February 29, 2008 for a total  decrease of 2.25%.  Decreases  in interest  rates
generally have the opposite effect on market values of interest-bearing  assets,
the volume of mortgage  loan  originations,  the resale value of mortgage  loans
originated  for resale,  and the ability of borrowers to perform under  existing
loans of all types from the effect of increases in interests rates.

                        Risks Related to Our Common Stock

         Our  common  stock has a  limited  trading  market,  which may make the
prompt execution of sale transactions difficult.

         Although  our  common  stock  may be  traded  from  time  to time on an
individual basis, no active trading market has developed and none may develop in
the  foreseeable  future.  Our  common  stock  is not  traded  on any  exchange.
Accordingly,  if you wish to sell shares you may  experience  a delay or have to
sell them at a lower price in order to sell them promptly, if at all.

         We may issue additional securities, which could affect the market price
of our common stock and dilute your ownership.

         We may issue  additional  securities to raise  additional  capital,  to
support growth, or to make acquisitions. Sales of a substantial number of shares
of our common  stock,  or the  perception  by the market  that those sales could
occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline or could make
it more difficult for us to raise capital through the sale of common stock or to
use our common stock in future acquisitions.

         We do not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

         We have never paid cash dividends and do not plan to pay cash dividends
in the  foreseeable  future.  We plan to use the funds that might  otherwise  be
available to pay dividends to expand our business.

         Declaration  and payment of dividends are within the  discretion of our
board of directors.  Our bank will be our most likely source of funds with which
to pay cash dividends. Our bank's declaration and payment of future dividends to
us are within the discretion of the bank's board of directors, and are dependent
upon its earnings,  financial condition,  its need to retain earnings for use in
the business and any other pertinent factors. The bank's payment of dividends is
also subject to various regulatory requirements.

         Provisions in our articles of incorporation  and South Carolina law may
discourage  or prevent  takeover  attempts,  and these  provisions  may have the
effect of reducing the market price for our stock.

         Our articles of incorporation  include several provisions that may have
the  effect  of  discouraging  or  preventing  hostile  takeover  attempts,  and
therefore  of  making  the  removal  of  incumbent  management  difficult.   The
provisions  include  staggered terms for our board of directors and requirements
that make it difficult to remove our directors. In addition,  South Carolina law
contains several provisions that may make it more difficult for a third party to
acquire  control of us without the approval of our board of  directors,  and may
make it more  difficult or expensive  for a third party to acquire a majority of
our outstanding  common stock. To the extent that these provisions are effective
in discouraging  or preventing  takeover  attempts,  they may tend to reduce the
market price for our stock.

         Our directors have significant voting power.

         Our present directors  beneficially own over 40% of our stock.  Because
they own over 33 1/3%, if they vote  together,  they will be able to prevent any
merger, consolidation,  share exchange, sale of substantial assets, dissolution,
removal of directors or amendment to the articles of  incorporation  they do not
want.

         Our  common  stock  is  not  insured,  so you  could  lose  your  total
investment.

         Our  common  stock is not a  deposit  or  savings  account,  and is not
insured by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation or any other  government
agency. Should our business fail you could lose your total investment.

                          Risks Related to Our Industry

         We are  subject  to  governmental  regulation  which  could  change and
increase our cost of doing business or have an adverse affect on our business.

         We  operate  in  a  highly  regulated   industry  and  are  subject  to
examination,  supervision  and  comprehensive  regulation by various federal and
state agencies. Our compliance with the requirements of these agencies is costly
and may limit our  growth and  restrict  certain  of our  activities,  including
payment of dividends, mergers and acquisitions,  investments, loans and interest
rates charged,  and locations of offices.  We are also subject to capitalization
guidelines  established  by federal  authorities  and our  failure to meet those
guidelines  could  result,  in an extreme  case,  in our bank's  being placed in
receivership.  We have also recently been subjected to some of the extensive and
expensive  requirements imposed on public companies by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 and related regulations.

         The laws and  regulations  applicable  to the  banking  industry  could
change at any time,  and we cannot  predict  the impact of these  changes on our
business or profitability.  Because  government  regulation  greatly affects the
business  and  financial  results  of all  commercial  banks  and  bank  holding
companies,  our cost of compliance could adversely affect our ability to operate
profitably.

         We are  susceptible  to changes in monetary  policy and other  economic
factors which may adversely affect our ability to operate profitably.

         Changes in governmental,  economic and monetary policies may affect the
ability of our bank to attract  deposits  and make loans.  The rates of interest
payable  on  deposits  and  chargeable  on loans are  affected  by  governmental
regulation  and fiscal policy as well as by national,  state and local  economic
conditions.  All of these  matters  are  outside of our  control  and affect our
ability to operate profitably.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

        Not Applicable.

Item 2.  Properties

         The  Bank  owns in fee  simple  with no  major  encumbrances,  the real
property  where its  corporate  offices and banking  offices are located at 3685
Blue Ridge  Boulevard,  Walhalla,  South  Carolina;  449  Highway  123 Bypass in
Seneca, South Carolina;  1600 Sandifer Boulevard in Seneca, South Carolina; 4002
Clemson  Boulevard  in  Anderson,  South  Carolina;  208  East  Main  Street  in
Williamston,  South  Carolina; and 1101 East Main Street in  Westminster,  South
Carolina.  The Westminster branch is currently  operating in a modular facility.
Management of the Bank believes the Bank's  facilities are suitable and adequate
for the Company's needs.

         In 2007, the Company also  purchased  real property near  Powdersville,
South Carolina, to be used for future expansion. The Company has not established
a budget or a schedule for construction on the property.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

         The Bank is from  time to time a party  to  various  legal  proceedings
arising in the ordinary  course of business,  but  management of the Bank is not
aware  of  any  pending  or  threatened   litigation  or  unasserted  claims  or
assessments  that are  expected  to  result in  losses,  if any,  that  would be
material to the Bank's business and operations.

         The report set forth under the caption "Management's Report on Internal
Control  Over  Financial  Reporting"  set  forth in the 2007  Annual  Report  is
incorporated herein by reference.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

         The  Company  is  continually  seeking to improve  the  efficiency  and
effectiveness  of its operations and of its internal  controls.  This results in
modifications to its processes throughout the Company.  However,  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.

                                    PART III

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

         The  information  set  forth  under  the  captions  "Management  of the
Company" and "Section 16(a) Beneficial  Ownership  Reporting  Compliance" in the
Proxy  Statement  to be used in  conjunction  with the 2008  Annual  Meeting  of
Shareholders (the "Proxy Statement"), which will be filed within 120 days of the
Corporation's fiscal year end, is incorporated herein by reference.

         Code of Ethics

         The  Company  has  adopted a code of ethics  (as  defined  by 17 C.F.R.
229.406) that applies to its principal executive officer and principal financial
officer.  The Company will provide a copy of the code of ethics, free of charge,
to any person upon written request to Benjamin L. Hiott,  Senior Vice President,
Community First Bancorporation,  449 Highway 123 Bypass,  Seneca, South Carolina
29678.

         Audit Committee Financial Expert

         The Company's  board of directors has determined  that the Company does
not have an "audit committee  financial expert," as that term is defined by Item
407(d)(5)  of  Regulation  S-K   promulgated  by  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission,  serving on its audit committee.  The Company's audit committee is a
committee of directors who are  independent  of the Company and its  management.
After reviewing the experience and training of all of the Company's  independent
directors,  the board of directors has concluded  that no  independent  director
meets the SEC's very demanding definition.  Therefore,  it would be necessary to
find a qualified  individual  willing to serve as both a director  and member of
the audit committee and have that person elected by the shareholders in order to
have an "audit  committee  financial  expert"  serving  on the  Company's  audit
committee.  The  Company's  audit  committee  is,  however,  authorized  to  use
consultants  to provide  financial  accounting  expertise in any instance  where
members of the committee  believe such assistance would be useful.  Accordingly,
the Company does not believe that it needs to have an "audit committee financial
expert" on its audit committee.
