The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the accounting policies in effect as of December 31, 2001 as set forth in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Peoples Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company). In the opinion of Management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included and are of a normal recurring nature. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared also in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulations S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The statements include information required for interim financial statements. 2. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 3. Per share data is based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding of 5,611,596 and 5,635,079 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. 4. At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the total recorded investment in impaired loans amounted to $7,008,000 and $217,000. The average recorded investment in impaired loans amounted to approximately $7,195,000 and $219,000 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Page 11 of 20 Independent Accountants' Review Report Board of Directors Peoples Financial Corporation Biloxi, Mississippi We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Peoples Financial Corporation as of June 30, 2002, June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. 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 generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements. /s/ Piltz, Williams, LaRosa & Co. PILTZ, WILLIAMS, LAROSA & CO. August 2, 2002 Biloxi, Mississippi Page 12 of 20 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 six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. 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 Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $1,325,000 compared with $1,287,000 for the same period in 2001. The negative trend in the net interest margin the Company has experienced for the prior five quarters became slightly more favorable during the quarter ended June 30, 2002. This positive trend is largely the result of the repricing of time deposits at more favorable rates and the maturity of highly priced brokered deposits. The Company anticipates that this positive trend will continue throughout the remaining quarters of 2002. The following schedule compares financial highlights for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001: <Table> <Caption> For the six months ended June 30, 2002 2001 - --------------------------------------------- ------------ ------------ Net income per share $ 0.24 $ 0.23 Book value per share $ 14.38 $ 13.72 Return on average total assets .45% .43% Return on average shareholders' equity 3.30% 3.30% Allowance for loan losses as a % of loans, net of unearned discount 1.91% 1.47% </Table> Page 13 of 20 FINANCIAL CONDITION HELD TO MATURITY SECURITIES Held to maturity securities decreased $44,549,000 at June 30, 2002, as compared with June 30, 2001, as a result of the management of the Company's liquidity position. As funds were available from the maturity of these securities, they were generally invested in available for sale securities. Gross unrealized gains were $576,000 and $627,000 and gross unrealized losses were $1,000 and $17,000 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Gross unrealized gains were $2,715,000 and $1,882,000 and gross unrealized losses were $7,000 and $23,000 at June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

LOANS Loans decreased $39,100,000 at June 30, 2002, as compared with June 30, 2001, as a result of decreased loan demand in the Company's trade area which in turn was due to the softening of the local economy. In addition, a number of customers paid off several large credits during the second half of 2001. The Company anticipates that loan demand will continue to be flat throughout the remainder of 2002. OTHER REAL ESTATE Other real estate decreased $1,306,000 at June 30, 2002, as compared with June 30, 2001, due to the sale of several parcels of commercial real estate during the second half of 2001 and the first half of 2002. ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE Accrued interest receivable decreased $1,086,000 at June 30, 2002, as compared with June 30, 2001, due the decline in interest rates earned on investments and loans. DEPOSITS Total deposits decreased $23,708,000 at June 30, 2002, as compared with June 30, 2001. Significant increases or decreases in total deposits 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 and using other funding sources and their maturity so as to achieve appropriate liquidity. Specifically, the Company obtained brokered deposits of $30,000,000 during the third quarter of 2000. Brokered deposits amounting to $10,000,000 matured in July of 2001. The Company may place these funds in other brokered deposits. OTHER LIABILITIES Other liabilities increased $909,000 at June 30, 2002, as compared with June 30, 2001, primarily as a result of an increase in liabilities related to deferred compensation benefits for a deceased officer of the bank subsidiary. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY 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 14.70% at June 30, 2002, as compared with 13.83% at June 30, 2001. 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. On May 23, 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock incentive program for two executive officers. Under this plan, whole shares valued as of the distribution date at $50,000 are to be distributed to each of these officers who continue to meet the eligibility requirements on June Page 15 of 20 15, 2001, and on January 15 of the four succeeding years. On June 15, 2001 and January 15, 2002, a total of 6,886 and 7,142 shares, respectively, of Peoples Financial Corporation common stock was issued. On June 26, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved a semi-annual dividend of $ .12 per share. The dividend had a record date of July 8, 2002 and a distribution date of July 10, 2002. 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. The following schedule summarizes net interest earnings and net yield on interest earning assets: Net Interest Earnings and Net Yield on Interest Earning Assets <Table> <Caption> Six Months Ended June 30, (In thousands, except percentages) 2002 2001 - ------------------------------------ ------------ ------------ Total interest income(1) $ 14,206 $ 20,415 Total interest expense 5,433 10,544 ------------ ------------ Net interest earnings $ 8,773 $ 9,871 ============ ============ Net yield on interest earning assets 3.36% 3.71% ============ ============ </Table> (1) All interest earned is reported on a taxable equivalent basis using a tax rate of 34% in 2002 and 2001.

Page 17 of 20 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. Based on these analyses, the Company provided $612,000 for loan losses, primarily to address potential losses from one credit, during the six months ended June 30, 2002. The Company expects to provide for its loan loss provision on a monthly basis throughout the remaining quarters of 2002 at a level consistent with provisions made during the first and third quarters of 2001. SERVICE CHARGES ON DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS Service charges on deposit accounts increased $311,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was due to the introduction of an overdraft protection product in April 2001. OTHER INCOME Other income increased $662,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared with the six months ended June 30, 2001, primarily as a result of the gain realized on proceeds from whole life insurance owned by the bank subsidiary. OTHER EXPENSE Other expense increased $337,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared with the same period during 2001, due to write-downs of other real estate of $300,000 in 2002. 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 investment securities and earnings on investment securities are the principal sources of funds for the Company. As discussed previously, the Company has utilized non-traditional sources of funds including brokered certificates of deposit and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. These additional sources have allowed the Company to satisfy its liquidity needs. The Company will continue to utilize these sources of funds throughout 2002, as necessary.
