Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

KPMG LLP was previously the principal firm of accountants for Bank of South Carolina Corporation and subsidiary (the Company). On November 17, 2005, the firm’s appointment as independent auditor was terminated effective upon the completion of the audit of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ending December 31, 2005 and the issuance of KPMG LLP’s report thereon. On March 1, 2006, KPMG LLP completed the audit, issued its report , and the client-auditor relationship ceased

In connection with the audits for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 , and the subsequent interim period through March 1, 2006, there were no: (1) disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, or (2) reportable events.

The audit reports of KPMG LLP on the consolidated financial statements of Bank of South Carolina Corporation and subsidiary as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain

any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

Bank of South Carolina Corporation requested that KPMG LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of KPMG LLPs letter to the Securities & Exchange Commission is filed as Exhibit 9.01 to this form 8-K.
