THE PEOPLES HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 Basis of Presentation The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1993, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of accounting policies and notes to financial statements included in the Registrant's annual report for the year ended December 31, 1993. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In May of 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". This statement requires that impaired loans that are within the scope of SFAS No. 114 be measured on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loans's effective interest rate or at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. SFAS No. 114 applies to companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The Company has not made a determination as to the effect of the adoption of this statement on the financial condition of the Company. Note 2 Changes in Accounting Methods In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993. Under the new rules, debt securities that the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at amortized cost. Debt securities that the Company does not have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and all marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale or trading and carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale are carried as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as trading are reported in earnings.

[CAPTION] Securities are summarized as follows at June 30, 1994: [S] [C] Held to maturity (amortized cost) $ 41,034,250 Available for sale (estimated fair value) 197,270,373 ------------- Total securities $ 238,304,623 ============= The estimated fair value of securities held to maturity at June 30, 1994 was $41,295,084. Note 3 Acquisition During April, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with The Resolution Trust Corporation to purchase selected assets and assume certain liabilities of the New Albany, Southaven and Hernando branches of the Security Federal Savings and Loan Association. The acquisition was approved by regulatory authorities and consummated on April 15, 1994. The Company acquired approximately $18 million in loans and $32 million in deposits. Note 4 Income Taxes [CAPTION] Federal income taxes payable (receivable) were as follows: [S] [C] Current $ (68,447) Deferred (2,470,948) ----------- $ (2,539,395) =========== [CAPTION] The components of income tax expense (credits) are presented below: [S] [C] Current $ 2,061,759 Deferred (1,178,550) --------- $ 883,209 ========= PAGE

[CAPTION] The difference between income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to operating earnings results from the following: [S] [C] Federal tax expense at statutory rate $1,653,811 Add (deduct) effect of: Tax-exempt interest income ( 401,357) Amortization of intangible assets 19,850 Dividends received deduction ( 27,654) Other items-net ( 361,441) ---------- $ 883,209 ========== Deferred tax assets resulted largely from temporary differences arising from loan loss provision. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB No. 109, which resulted in a deferred tax rate of 34%. Historically, the Company has produced taxable income which can fully utilize the deferred tax asset.

THE PEOPLES HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Financial Condition The following provides management's discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operation of The Peoples Holding Company and Subsidiary, focusing on those factors that have had the most significant impact for the first six months of 1994. This commentary should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements. Total assets of The Peoples Holding Company grew from $718,509,987 on December 31, 1993, to $761,250,051 on June 30, 1994, or 5.95% for the six month period. The primary increase in assets is due to the acquisition of approximately $33 million dollars in selected assets and liabilities from Security Federal Savings and Loan Association during the second quarter of 1994 which was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the results of operations of this acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements only from the acquisition date (April 15, 1994), which affects the comparability of the consolidated financial statements. Cash and Due From Banks was up from $35,956,431 on December 31, 1993, to $46,563,587 on June 30, 1994, or an increase of $10,607,156; while Federal Funds sold decreased $8,000,000 since December 31, 1993. Loans, less unearned income, increased $29,301,342 or 7.02% due primarily to assumption of loans from Security Federal Savings and Loan Association. Securities grew from $230,904,295 on December 31, 1993, to $238,304,623 on June 30, 1994, which includes an unrealized loss on securities held for sale at June 30, 1994 of $2,556,507. Transaction deposit accounts, which require a 10% reserve balance in cash or on deposit at the Federal Reserve Bank, were up from $260,709,000 on December 31, 1993, to $319,147,270 on June 30, 1994, while total deposits for the first six months of 1993 grew from $636,738,548 on December 31, 1993 to $675,302,815, or an increase of $38,564,267. The equity capital to total assets ratio was 9.73% and 9.34% for December 31, 1993 and June 30, 1994, respectively. Results of Operations-Six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to 1993 The Company reported net income of $3,980,947 as of June 30, 1994 compared to $3,899,732 for the same period in 1993; or an increase of 2.08%. Earnings per share for the first six months of 1994 were $1.65 compared to $1.61 for the first six months in 1993. The net effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 106, "Employer's Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions" and SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" in 1993 accounted for $ .22 of the six months earning per share on net income of $1.39 for the six month period ending June 30, 1993. Net interest income is the largest component of the Company's income and represents the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds the cost of deposits. The Company's long term objective is to manage those earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to provide the largest possible amount of income while balancing interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital risk. Net interest income after provision for loan losses was up $1,166,338 or 8.6% for the period ending June 30, 1994 compared to the same period in 1993 due to an increase in average earning assets of 10.48%. The acquisition of approximately $18 million in earning assets from Security Federal accounted for 29% of the increase. The fully tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased 33 basis points in 1994 to 4.81% compared to 5.14% for six months ending June 30, 1993. The prime lending rate for bank loans declined periodically to 6.00% early in 1993 from 6.50% early in 1992. The prime lending rate increased in March to 6.25%; May to 6.75% and in June to 7.25%, during 1994. The prime rate decrease in 1992 and 1993 was the primary factor in the decrease in yields for June 1994 on the loan portfolio from 8.64% in 1993 to 8.31% in 1994. At June 30, 1994, $284 million in loans or 64% of the loan portfolio is subject to repricing in the next twelve months. Total interest expense was $8,680,686 for the six months ending June 1994, compared to $7,987,931 for same period in 1993 or an increase of $692,755. Average total interest bearing deposits increased $42,086,595 or 8% while the interest rate yield paid on interest bearing deposits declined slightly to 3.02% in 1994 from 3.06% for same period in 1993. The net interest spread was 4.27% for 1994 compared to 4.69% for 1993 due to the decrease in yields on loans and securities coupled with little change in the yield paid on interest bearing liabilities. The growth in non-interest income has become an increasingly important component of the Company's profitability, given the uncertainty of future loan demand and increased competition from nontraditional sources. Non- interest income includes fees for trust services, mortgage loan servicing fees, service charges on deposit accounts, and many other retail products. Non-interest income for the first six months of 1994 increased 11.01% or $476,638 compared to the same period in 1993. The most significant increase in non-interest income is attributable to service charges which increased $326,397 since 1993 due mainly to addition of accounts serviced by the Security Federal Savings and Loan Association.

During recent years, the banking industry has put an increasing emphasis on expense control and improving its efficiency and, ultimately, its profitability. The Company has responded to the need for improved efficiency by emphasizing its commitment to expense control. Non-interest expenses have increased from $13,260,172 for six months ending June 30, 1993 to $14,612,801 in 1994 or 10.20%; and the efficiency ratio has increased from 83.22% to 88.72% for 1993 and 1994, respectfully. The efficiency ratio is non-interest expenses divided by the tax-equivalent net interest income plus non-interest income. The increase in non-interest expenses and the efficiency ratio is a combination between the acquisition of the three locations of the Security Federal Savings and Loan Association and related personnel and expenses and the decline in the yield earned on loans and securities due to decline of interest rates in 1993. Results of Operations-Three months ended June 30, 1994 compared to 1993 The Company reported net income of $2,054,699 for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 compared to $2,028,847 for the same period in 1993; or an increase of 1.27%. Earnings per share for the second quarter of 1994 were $.85 compared to $.84 for the second quarter in 1993. Net interest income after provision for loan losses was up $525,497 or 7.3% for the quarter ending June 30, 1994 compared to the same period in 1993 due to an increase in average earning assets for the quarter of 10.52%. The acquisition of approximately $18 million in earning assets from Security Federal accounted for 28% of the increase. The net interest margin for the quarter declined from 4.98% to 4.72% for 1993 and 1994 due to a decrease in the yields earned on loans attributable to the decrease of the prime rate in 1993 and the repricing of variable loans to lower rates in the later part of 1993, without a comparable drop in the cost of deposits. The provision for possible loan losses decreased $140,601 for the quarter compared to previous year's quarter. The most significant increase in interest income was attributable to interest on loans which increased $683,363 or 7.9%. Interest expense increased $458,764 in quarter ended June 1994 compared to same period in 1993 mainly due to acquisition of Security Federal deposits. Non-interest income for quarter ended June 30,1994 is $2,364,419 compared to $2,232,512 for same period in 1993 or an increase of 5.9%. The increase is mainly due to increased service charges relating to addition of deposits from Security Federal. Non-interest expenses for the quarter are $7,523,040 and $6,825,751 for June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectfully. The increase is due to growth in salaries for personnel acquired through the Security Federal purchase and related operating expenses for the three locations purchased.

Allowance for Loan Losses: In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, among the issues the Company examines are current economic conditions, results of quantitative analysis of the quality of commercial loans and commercial real estate loans, and the historical rate of charge-offs on all loan types. The provision for loan losses is the amount charged against current earnings which management believes is necessary to maintain the reserve at an adequate level at a point in time, giving consideration to potential problem credits, the collateral adequacy of loans, net charge-offs, asset quality measure, size of the loan portfolio and general trends. The provision for the six months ending June 30, 1994, decreased $140,601 from the same period in the prior year which is reflective of the improvement in the quality of the loan portfolio, decrease in non-performing loans and the net recovery of charge offs at June 30, 1994.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity Management The primary functions of asset/liability management are to assure adequate liquidity and maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Liquidity management involves the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wanting to withdraw or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to provide for a consistent growth of net interest income through periods of changing interest rates. Available for sale securities, particularly those of shorter maturities, are the principal source of asset liquidity. Securities maturing in one year or less amounted to $56,972,000 at June 30, 1994, representing 23.91% of the securities portfolio. Other types of assets such as interest bearing deposits in other banks are sources of liquidity. Loans maturing within one year represented 63.65% of the total loans, net of unearned income, for June 30, 1994. On June 30, 1994, there were $341,981,000 in interest earning assets which will mature within one year while $494,909,000 in interest bearing liabilities will mature or will be repriced within one year, which results in a liability sensitive gap of $152,928 million or 44.72%. Management believes that this range can be effectively managed against interest rate movements while allowing sufficient flexibility to take advantage of opportunities presented by varying interest rate environments. The following table summarizes the Company's gap position at June 30, 1994:

The Company's deposit base has changed from a significant dependence on negotiable certificates of deposit to increased dependence on short-term interest bearing accounts which tends to increase the Company's negative GAP position. As a result of this shift in types of deposits, the Company is attempting to shorten the maturity of securities and convert loans, where possible, to a floating rate. Interest rate sensitivity varies with different types of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Overnight federal funds on which rates change daily and loans which are tied to the prime lending rate differ considerably from long-term investment securities and fixed rate loans. Similarly, time deposits over $100,000 and money market certificates are much more interest rate sensitive than savings accounts. The shorter-term interest rate sensitivities are the key to measurement of the interest rate sensitivity gap, or excess interest sensitive earning assets over interest bearing liabilities.

Capital Resources Retained earnings through operations have been the primary source of capital over the past three months. The ratio of shareholders equity to total assets was 9.33% as of June 30, 1994, compared to 9.73% as of December 31, 1993, and 9.60% as of June 30, 1993. Total shareholders' equity of the Company was $71,080,985 and $69,923,713 for June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively. This represented an increase of $1,157,272 or 1.66%. Guidelines define a well capitalized bank as one whose capital to risk-based assets is at least 10%, or 6% Tier 1 capital ratio, and a 5% leverage ratio. The table below shows the capital ratios of the Company at the dates indicated. [CAPTION] (In Thousands) June 30 December 31 1994 1993 ------- -------- [S] [C] [C] Total Tier 1 Capital $ 67,951 $ 63,425 Total Tier 2 Capital 5,571 5,355 ------ ------ Total Qualifying Capital 73,522 68,780 ====== ====== Risk-weighted assets on balance sheet, net of intangibles 445,292 426,964 Excess allowance for loan losses (1,813) ( 1,108) Risk-weighted off balance sheet exposure 875 1,422 ------- ------- Total Risk-Weighted Assets Inclusive of Off Balance Sheet Exposure and Net of Allowance 444,354 427,278 ======= ======= Tier 1 Capital Ratio 15.31% 14.84% Total Capital Ratio 16.56% 16.10% Leverage Ratio 9.06% 9.48% Management recognizes the importance of maintaining a strong capital base. As the above ratios indicate, the Company exceeds the requirements for a well capitalized bank. Book value per share was $29.39 and $27.86 at June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Cash dividends were raised to $.24 per quarter, up from $.23 per share during the same quarter in 1993. The Company's capital policy is to evaluate future needs based on growth, earnings trends and anticipated acquisitions.
