THE PEOPLES HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1999
(in thousands, except share data)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 1999.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in The Peoples Holding Company and Subsidiary's
(collectively, the Company) annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
The historical financial information presented in this Form 10-Q has been
restated to include the results of Inter-City Federal Bank for Savings (Inter-
City). Inter-City was acquired in a pooling-of-interests transaction on
March 26, 1999. In accordance with the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting, no adjustments have been made to the historical carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities of Inter-City. However, the financial information has
been restated to include the results of Inter-City for all stated periods prior
to the combination.
Note 2 Mergers and Acquisitions
On March 26, 1999, the Company exchanged 347,382 shares of common stock for all
of the outstanding shares of Inter-City, which is located in Louisville,
Mississippi. The transaction has been accounted for under the pooling-of-
interests method of accounting.
The following table presents selected financial information, split between the
Company and Inter-City for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

Note 3 Comprehensive Income
As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130
establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components; however, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on
the Company's net income or shareholders' equity. SFAS No. 130 requires
unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available-for-sale securities,
which prior to adoption were reported separately in shareholders' equity, to be
included in other comprehensive income. Prior year financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the requirements of SFAS No. 130.
During the first quarters of 1999 and 1998, total comprehensive income amounted
to $2,586 and $3,096, respectively.
Note 4 Segment Reporting
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," which established standards for the
reporting of financial information from operating segments in annual and
interim financial statements. SFAS No. 131 requires that financial information
be reported on the same basis that it is reported internally for evaluating
segment performance and allocating resources to segments. Because SFAS No. 131
addresses how supplemental financial information is disclosed in annual and
interim reports, its adoption had no impact on the financial condition or
operating results of the Company.
Segment information for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, is
presented below.

THE PEOPLES HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(in thousands, except share data)
This Form 10-Q may contain, or incorporate by reference, statements which may
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Prospective investors are cautioned that
any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees for future
performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may
differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking
statements. Important factors currently known to management that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements
include significant fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, economic
recession, significant changes in the federal and state legal and regulatory
environment, significant underperformance in the Company's portfolio of
outstanding loans, and competition in the Company's markets. The Company
undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to
reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or
changes to future operating results over time.
The historical financial information presented in this Form 10-Q has been
restated to include the results of Inter-City Federal Bank for Savings (Inter-
City). Inter-City was acquired in a pooling-of-interests transaction on
March 26, 1999. In accordance with the pooling-of-interests method of
accounting, no adjustments have been made to the historical carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities of Inter-City. However, the financial information has
been restated to include the results of Inter-City for all stated periods prior
to the combination.
Financial Condition
Total assets of The Peoples Holding Company grew from $1,107,795 on December 31,
1998, to $1,133,891 on March 31, 1999, or 2.36% for the three month
period. Total securities increased slightly from $293,639 on December 31, 1998,
to $294,059 on March 31, 1999. Loans, net of unearned income, increased $13,862
or 1.90%, primarily in commercial loan accounts.
Total deposits for the first three months of 1999 grew from $960,295 on
December 31, 1998 to $982,313 on March 31, 1999, or an increase of
2.29%, with the majority of growth in public fund checking and time deposits.
The equity capital to total assets ratios were 9.83% and 9.95% for March 31,
1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. Capital grew 1.17% from December 31,
1998 to March 31, 1999, while cash dividends increased from $.19 per share in
December of 1998 to $.21 per share in March of 1999.
Results of Operations
The Company's net income for the three month period ending March 31, 1999,
was $3,215, representing an increase of $260 or 8.80% over net income
for the three month period ending March 31, 1998, which totaled $2,955.
The increase in net income for the three month period in 1999 compared to 1998
resulted from usual and customary deposit gathering and lending operations as
well as improved efficiencies derived from the Sheshunoff consulting engagement.
Net income was not as great as expected for the first quarter of 1999 due to
expenses incurred with the Inter-City merger. Without the effects of restating
for the merger, net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 was up 17.17% to
$3,345 with a return on average assets of 1.25%. After restating, the
annualized return on average assets for the three month periods ending March 31,
1999 and 1998, was 1.16% for both periods.
9
Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on assets and the
cost of interest-bearing liabilities, is the largest component of the Company's
net income. The primary concerns in managing net interest income are the
mix and the maturities of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. Net interest
margins were 4.69% and 4.78% for the three month periods ending March 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. The decline in net interest margin is due in
large part to the current pricing environment. Despite the decrease in net
interest margin, our continued growth in volume has allowed net interest income
to increase over prior performance. Net interest income for the three month
periods ending March 31, 1999 and 1998 was $11,402 and $10,747, respectively.
Earning assets averaged $1,041,061 for the three month period ending
March 31, 1999, compared to $956,594 for the same period in 1998.
The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is an amount which,
in the judgement of management, is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan
losses at a level that is adequate to meet the inherent risks of losses on the
Company's current portfolio of loans. The appropriate level of the allowance is
based on a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio including consideration of
such factors as the risk rating of individual credits, size and diversity of the
portfolio, economic conditions, prior loss experience, and the results of
periodic credit reviews by internal loan review and regulators. The provision
for loan losses totaled $746 and $645 for the three month periods ending
March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of loans outstanding was 1.36% and 1.34% as of March 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, respectively. Net charge-offs to average loans was .05%
and .10% for the three month periods ending March 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.
Noninterest income, excluding gains from the sales of securities and loans,
was $3,792 for the three month period ending March 31, 1999, compared
to $3,201 for the same period in 1998, or an increase of 18.46%. The
increase between 1999 and 1998 is due to fees associated with the increases in
loans and deposits and the increased emphasis in sales of miscellaneous services
and products such as financial investment alternatives and cash management.
Non-sufficient fund fees accounted for the majority of the increase in service
charges. This increase was largely due to the implementation of a continuous
overdraft fee. Fees and commissions increased as a result of financial
investment alternative commissions and mortgage loan fees, while
increases in merchant processing, interchange fees, and skip payment fees
were the main components of the increase in other income.
Noninterest expenses were $10,327 for the three month period ending March 31,
1999, compared to $9,357 for the same period in 1998, or an increase of
10.37%. Significant increases in noninterest expenses between these periods
include depreciation of new premises and equipment, computer processing costs
associated with technology enhancements, fees related to the Sheshunoff
efficiency consulting engagement, and fees related to the Inter-City
acquisition. The remaining components of noninterest expenses reflect normal
increases for banking related expenses and general inflation in the cost of
services and supplies purchased by the Company.
10
Income tax expense was $1,102 for the three month period ending March 31,
1999, compared to $1,221 for the same period in 1998. The Company benefited in
March of 1999 from a non-taxable life insurance benefit resulting from the
death of a director. The Company also continues to invest in assets whose
earnings are given favorable tax treatment.
As the year 2000 approaches, an issue impacting all companies has emerged
regarding how existing application software programs and operating systems can
accommodate this date value. The "year 2000" problem is pervasive and complex
as virtually every computer operation will be affected in some way by the
rollover of the two digit value to 00. The issue is whether computer systems
will properly recognize date sensitive information when the year changes to
2000. Management is in the process of working with its software vendors to
assure that the Company is prepared for the year 2000. While the Company
believes its planning efforts are adequate to address its year 2000 concerns,
there can be no guarantee that the systems of other companies, such as those of
our loan customers, will be converted on a timely basis which could have a
material effect on the Company. The Company has not incurred significant
operating expenses nor will it be required to invest heavily in computer system
improvements to be year 2000 compliant.
The Company successfully completed testing for its mission critical applications
processed by its third party service provider during the fourth quarter of 1998,
following the conversion to the expanded code for year 2000. Nearly all other
mission critical applications were successfully tested during the first quarter
of 1999 and testing for year 2000 compliance was substantially completed by
March 31, 1999. One non-compliant system has been identified and it will be
upgraded to a year 2000 compliant version by June 30, 1999. There are also five
systems still in process of being tested to validate their year 2000
compatibility. Contingency plans for year 2000 issues have been written and are
currently being tested. These contingency plans address potential business
interruptions related to the year 2000 as well as liquidity and cash
availability contingencies as the millennium approaches.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity management is the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of
customers who may be either depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers
needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit
needs.
Core deposits are a major source of funds used to meet cash flow needs.
Maintaining the ability to acquire these funds as needed in a variety of money
markets is a key to assuring liquidity. When evaluating the movement of these
funds even during times of large interest rate changes, it is apparent that the
Company continues to attract deposits that can be used to meet cash flow needs.
Management continues to monitor the liquidity and potentially volatile
liabilities ratios to ensure compliance with Asset-Liability Committee targets.
These targets are set to ensure that the Company meets the liquidity
requirements deemed necessary by management and regulators.
Another source available for meeting the Company's liquidity needs is
available-for-sale securities. The available-for-sale portfolio is composed of
securities with a readily available market that can be used to convert to cash
if the need arises. In addition, the Company maintains a federal funds
position that provides day-to-day funds to meet liquidity needs and may also
obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) or the treasury tax and
loan note account. Historically, the Company has not relied upon these sources
to meet long-term liquidity needs. Sources of funds derived from the FHLB are
used primarily to match mortgage loan originations in order to minimize
interest rate risk, but may be used to provide short-term funding.
11
Capital Resources
The Bank is 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 direct material effect on the
Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory
accounting practices. The Bank's 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 Bank to maintain minimum balances and ratios. All banks are required
to have core capital (Tier I) of at least 4% of risk-weighted assets (as
defined), 4% of average assets (as defined), and total capital of 8% of
risk-weighted assets (as defined). As of March 31, 1999, the Bank has met
all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
As of March 31, 1999, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based,
and Tier I leverage ratios of 10%, 6%, and 5%, respectively. In the opinion of
management, there are no conditions or events since the last notification that
have changed the institution's category. The Bank's actual capital amounts and
applicable ratios are as follows:
