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, 1999 and 1998. 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. OVERVIEW Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, was $1,459,000, compared with $4,360,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. This decrease of $2,901,000 is primarily attributable to the fact that the Company realized a gain of $3,300,000, net of taxes, for book purposes during the quarter ended March 31, 1998, as a result of the sale of one of its branch locations. The significant development during the first quarter of 1999 was the sale of other real estate at a gain, for book purposes, of $293,000, net of taxes. The following schedule compares financial highlights for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998: For the quarters ended March 31, 1999 1998 - -------------------------------- --------- --------- Net income per share $ 0.49 $ 1.48 Book value per share $ 25.24 $ 23.61 Return on average total assets 1.12% 3.80% Return on average shareholders' equity 7.87% 25.78% Allowance for loan losses as a % of 1.51% 1.58% loans, net of unearned discount Page 11 of 19 12 FINANCIAL CONDITION HELD TO MATURITY SECURITIES Held to maturity securities increased $ 30,914,000 at March 31, 1999, as a result of the management of the Company's liquidity position. As funds were available either from the maturity of available for sale 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 held to maturity. Gross unrealized gains for held to maturity securities were $942,000 and $1,071,000 and gross unrealized losses for held to maturity securities were $429,000 and $124,000 at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Gross unrealized gains were $492,000 and $467,000 and gross unrealized losses were $154,000 and $147,000 at March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

LOANS Loans increased $25,641,000 at March 31, 1999, as compared with March 31, 1998, as a result of the increase in loan demand in the Company's trade area during the last 24 months. BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Bank premises and equipment increased $5,871,000 at March 31, 1999, as compared with March 31, 1998, primarily as the result of the construction of a new branch facility in Gulfport. OTHER ASSETS Other assets decreased $3,400,000 at March 31, 1999, as compared with March 31, 1998, due to the fact that at March 31, 1998, the Company had recorded a receivable of $4,037,000 related to the sale of bank premises which was structured as a like-kind exchange for tax purposes. DEPOSITS Total deposits increased $35,992,000 at March 31, 1999, as compared with March 31, 1998. 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 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 $35,664,000 at March 31, 1999, as compared with March 31, 1998, as the result of the introduction of a non-deposit product during 1998. 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 15.13% at March 31, 1999, as compared with 16.06% at March 31, 1998. 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. Page 13 of 19 14 Net interest income decreased $97,000 for the first quarter of 1999 as compared with the first quarter of 1998. Total interest income increased $119,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Total interest expense increased $216,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The following schedule summarizes net interest earnings and net yield on interest earning assets: Net Interest Earnings and Net Yield on Interest Earning Assets Quarters Ended March 31, (In thousands, except percentages) 1999 1998 - ------------------------------ ------------- ----------- Total interest income (1) $ 8,362 $ 8,214 Total interest expense 3,533 3,317 ------------- ----------- Net interest earnings $ 4,829 $ 4,897 ============= =========== Net yield on interest earning assets 4.26% 4.79% ============= =========== (1) All interest earned is reported on a taxable equivalent basis using a tax rate of 34% in 1999 and 1998. The schedule on page 15 provides an analysis of the change in total interest income and total interest expense for the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. These changes are generally attributable to a change in volume and/or a change in the applicable rates.

Page 15 of 19 16 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 $10,000 for loan losses on a monthly basis and expects to continue to do so throughout 1999. 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. OTHER INCOME During the first quarter of 1998, the Company realized a gain of $5,083,000 for book purposes as the result of the sale of one its branch locations, as mentioned previously in the Overview. OTHER EXPENSE Other expense increased $724,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 1998, largely as the result of expenses relating to the computer conversion. 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, 1999, cash and due from banks, investment securities and federal funds sold were 55% of total deposits, as compared with 47% at March 31, 1998.
