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 nine months ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 1999, was $4,361,000, which
was a decrease of $2,863,000, as compared with the nine months ended September
30, 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to the gain recognized for
book purposes of $3,300,000, net of taxes, during the first quarter of 1998 as
the result of the sale of a branch location. During the first quarter of 1999,
the Company recognized a gain, net of taxes, of $293,000 from the sale of other
real estate.
The following schedule compares financial highlights for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998:

liquidity needs of the bank subsidiary.
LOANS
Loans increased $39,388,000 at September 30, 1999, as compared with September
30, 1998, as a result of the increased loan demand in the Company's trade area.
The Company anticipates that this increased demand will continue throughout the
remainder of 1999. The allowance for loan losses, as a % of loans, net of
unearned discount, has decreased from 1.56% at September 30, 1998 to 1.31% at
September 30, 1999. Management continues to monitor the volume and quality of
its loan portfolio and has determined that the allowance is adequate.
BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Bank premises and equipment increased $2,671,000 at September 30, 1999, as
compared with September 30, 1998, as a result of the construction of two branch
facilities during this time.
DEPOSITS
Significant increases or decreases in total deposits or significant
fluctuations among the different types of 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 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 $12,882,000 at September 30, 1999, as compared with September 30,
1998. This fluctuation is entirely due to the introduction of a new 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 15.75% at September 30,
1999, as compared with 16.65% at September 30, 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.
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 $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 the
volume of the loan portfolio and does not indicate a deterioration of its
quality.
SERVICE CHARGES ON DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS
Service charges on deposit accounts increased $656,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999, as compared with the nine months ended September 30,
1998, as the result of an increase in off-site ATM's and ATM fees at branch
locations during 1999.
OTHER INCOME
During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company realized a gain of
$5,083,000 for book purposes as the result of the sale of one of its branch
locations, as mentioned previously in the Overview.
SALARIES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Salaries and employee benefits increased $830,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
as the result of an increase in the number of full-time employees during this
time frame due to the opening of two new branches and significant cost of living
adjustment raises placed in January 1999.
OTHER EXPENSE
Other expense decreased $664,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 1998, largely as the
result of expenses relating to the computer conversion during 1998.
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. At September 30, 1999, cash and due from
banks, investment securities and federal funds sold were 46% of total deposits,
as compared with 47% at September 30, 1998.

YEAR 2000
In response to the Year 2000 issue, the Company has established a committee,
headed by a senior officer of the Company, to review all computer-based systems
which includes all operations departments and applications as well as other
operational activities. The committee has developed and is in the process of
implementing a plan of action, which has been approved by the Board of
Directors, to ensure that its computer and information systems will function
properly in the Year 2000. This plan incorporates the awareness, assessment,
renovation, validation and implementation phases as directed by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
Renovation of systems for Year 2000 compliance was completed by December 31,
1998. Testing of all mission critical systems was completed by June 30, 1999.
The Company has budgeted for projected Year 2000 expenses, and the Company does
not expect the costs of achieving Year 2000 compliance to have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements. In the event of unforeseen Year
2000 problems, the Company has established a Year 2000 contingency plan, which
includes all information technology and non-information technology systems. The
Plan, which has been approved by the Board of Directors, also addresses
potential Year 2000 issues relating to core application software, trust
services software, ATM services, liquidity and other operational activities.
While the Company has taken steps to ensure that its material vendors and
customers are Year 2000 compliant, there is no guarantee that the systems of
these other companies will be Year 2000 compliant on time. As a result, the
Company could be adversely affected by the failure of other companies to become
Year 2000 compliant. The potential impact of such a failure cannot be
quantified at this time.
