Independent Accountants' Review Report
Board of Directors
Peoples Financial Corporation
Biloxi, Mississippi
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets - Securities and
Exchange Commission Form 10-Q of Peoples Financial Corporation as of March 31,
2000, March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1999, and the related consolidated
statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows - Securities and
Exchange Commission Form 10-Q, for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
March 31, 1999, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and
Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the
representation of management of Peoples Financial Corporation.
A review consists principally of inquires of Company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken
as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in
conformity with Securities and Exchange Commission instructions for Form 10-Q
and Rule 10-01 of Regulations S-X.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following presents Management's discussion and analysis of the consolidated
financial condition and results of operations of Peoples Financial Corporation
and Subsidiaries (the Company) for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
These comments highlight the significant events and should be considered in
combination with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report
on Form 10-Q.
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 in an effort to
encourage corporations to provide information about a company's anticipated
future financial performance. This act provides a safe harbor for such
disclosure which protects the companies from unwarranted litigation if actual
results are different from management expectations. This report contains
forward-looking statements and reflects industry conditions, company performance
and financial results. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number
of factors and uncertainties which could cause the Company's actual results and
experience to differ from the anticipated results and expectations expressed in
such forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
The significant development during the first quarter of 2000 was the strong
earnings from operations versus the first quarter of 1999. During the first
quarter of 1999, the Company realized a gain for book purposes of $293,000, net
of taxes, from the sale of other real estate. In 2000, the Company realized net
income of $1,799,000 from normal operations, without any unusual or
non-recurring transactions, as a result of the continuing loan and deposit
growth. The following schedule compares financial highlights for the quarters
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999:

FINANCIAL CONDITION
HELD TO MATURITY SECURITIES
Held to maturity securities decreased $20,460,000 at March 31, 2000, compared
with March 31, 1999, as a result of the management of the Company's liquidity
position. As funds were available either from the maturity of these securities
or the increase in deposits, they were invested in short term U. S. Treasury and
U. S. Government Agency securities, which have been classified as available for
sale. Gross unrealized gains for held to maturity securities were $185,000 and
$942,000 and gross unrealized losses for held to maturity securities were
$1,983,000 and $429,000 at March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The following
schedule reflects the mix of the held to maturity investment portfolio at March
31, 2000 and 1999:

discussed above. Gross unrealized gains were $943,000 and $467,000 and gross
unrealized losses were $1,163,000 and $147,000 at March 31, 2000 and 1999,

FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD
Federal funds sold were $48,950,000 at March 31, 1999, as compared with federal
funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase of
$62,621,000 at March 31, 2000. This fluctuation from federal funds sold to
federal funds purchased is a direct result of the management of the bank
subsidiary's liquidity position.
LOANS
Loans increased $58,850,000 at March 31, 2000, as compared with March 31, 1999,
as a result of the increase in loan demand in the Company's trade area during
the last 24 months. The Company anticipates that this demand will remain strong
throughout 2000.
ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE
Accrued interest receivable increased $1,287,000 as the result of an increase in
investments in U. S. Government and Agency securities and in loans at March 31,
2000, as compared with March 31, 1999.
OTHER ASSETS
Other assets increased $1,859,000 at March 31, 2000, as compared with March 31,
1999, due to the investment in whole life insurance owned by the bank
subsidiary.
DEPOSITS
Total deposits decreased $10,112,000 at March 31, 2000, as compared with March
31, 1999. Significant increases or decreases in total deposits from quarter to
quarter are anticipated by Management as customers in the casino industry and
county and municipal areas reallocate their resources periodically. As discussed
above, the Company has managed its funds including planning the timing and
classification of investment maturities so as to achieve appropriate liquidity.
FEDERAL FUNDS PURCHASED AND SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase
increased $26,646,000 at March 31, 2000, as compared with March 31, 1999, as the
result of the management of the Company's liquidity position and the
reallocation of funds by certain customers from deposit products to non-deposit
products, as mentioned above.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY
On March 22, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors approved a two for one
stock split of the common shares of the Company. As a result of the split,
which was effective April 17, 2000, shareholders holding a total of 2,952,672
shares of Company Stock received an additional 2,952,672 shares of the Company.
The Consolidated Statements of Condition and Shareholders' Equity have been
restated to give retroactive effect to these splits. Additionally, all share and
per share data have also been given retroactive effect for this split.
Strength, security and stability have been the hallmark of the Company since its
founding in 1985 and of its bank subsidiary since its founding in 1896. A strong
capital foundation is fundamental to the continuing prosperity of the Company
and the security of its customers and shareholders. One measure of capital
adequacy is the primary capital ratio which was 14.92% at March 31, 2000, as
compared with 15.13% at March 31, 1999. These ratios are well above the
regulatory minimum of 6.00%. Management continues to emphasize the importance of
maintaining the appropriate capital levels of the Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, the amount by which interest income on loans, investments
and other interest earning assets exceeds interest expense on deposits and other
borrowed funds, is the single largest component of the Company's income.
Management's objective is to provide the largest possible amount of income while
balancing interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital risk. Net interest income
increased $1,161,000 for the first quarter of 2000 as compared with the first
quarter of 1999. Total interest income increased $1,591,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000, as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Total
interest expense increased $430,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, as
compared with the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The following schedule
summarizes net interest earnings and net yield on interest earning assets:

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Management continuously monitors the Company's relationships with its loan
customers, especially those in concentrated industries such as seafood, gaming
and hotel/motel, and their direct and indirect impact on its operations. A
thorough analysis of current economic conditions and the quality of the loan
portfolio are conducted on a quarterly basis. These analyses are utilized in the
computation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. During the period
from 1993 until 1998, the Company had not recorded a provision for loan losses.
Beginning in January 1999, the Company began providing loan losses on a monthly
basis and expects to continue to do so throughout 2000. This action was
implemented primarily in response to the large increase in volume of the loan
portfolio and does not indicate a deterioration of its quality.
SALARIES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Salaries and employee benefits increased $249,000 for the quarter ended March
31, 2000, as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This increase is
largely due to the increase in full- time employees during 1999 as a result of
the opening of two new branch locations.
OTHER EXPENSE
Other expense increased $475,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, as
compared with the quarter ended March 31, 1999, due to the gain from the sale of
other real estate of $443,000 included in other expense during the first quarter
of 1999.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity represents the Company's ability to adequately provide funds to
satisfy demands from depositors, borrowers and other commitments by either
converting assets to cash or accessing new or existing sources of funds.
Management monitors these funds requirements in such a manner as to satisfy
these demands and provide the maximum earnings on its earning assets. Deposits,
payments of principal and interest on loans, proceeds from maturities of held to
maturity securities and earnings on held to maturity securities are the
principal sources of funds for the Company. At March 31, 2000, cash and due from
banks, investment securities and federal funds sold were 46% of total deposits,
as compared with 55% at March 31, 1999.
