CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). However, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all adjustments and reclassifications, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial condition as of and for the interim periods presented. All adjustments and reclassifications are of a normal and recurring nature. Results for the period ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim periods or for the year as a whole.

The interim consolidated financial statements of Citizens Holding Company include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia (the “Bank” and collectively with Citizens Holding Company, the “Corporation”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

For further information and significant accounting policies of the Corporation, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Citizens Holding Company included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2011.

Note 2. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into commitments to extend credit to its customers. The unused portion of these commitments is not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. As of June 30, 2011, the Corporation had entered into loan commitments with certain customers with an aggregate unused balance of $28,835,248 compared to an aggregate unused balance of $36,011,792 at December 31, 2010. There were $3,120,825 of letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2011, and $3,141,959 at December 31, 2010. The fair value of such contracts is not considered material because letters of credit and loan commitments often are not used in their entirety, if at all, before they expire. The balances of such letters and commitments should not be used to project actual future liquidity requirements. However, the Corporation does incorporate expectations about the level of draws under its credit-related commitments into its asset and liability management program.

The Corporation is a party to lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, all of which are being vigorously contested. In the regular course of business, management evaluates estimated losses or costs related to litigation, and provisions are made for anticipated losses whenever management believes that such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. At the present time, management believes, based on the advice of legal counsel, that the final resolution of pending legal proceedings will not have a material impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 3. Net Income per Share

Net income per share - basic has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Net income per share - diluted has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. Earnings per share was computed as follows:

Note 4. Stock Option Plan

At June 30, 2011, the Corporation had one stock-based compensation plan, which is the 1999 Directors’ Stock Compensation Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”). Prior to its expiration, the Corporation also had the 1999 Employees’ Long-Term Incentive Plan, or the “Employees’ Plan”. The Corporation accounts for these plans under the stock compensation topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). This topic provides guidance related to share-based payment transactions, including valuation methods (including assumptions such as expected volatility and expected term), the classification of compensation expense, non-GAAP financial measures, first-time adoption in an interim period and disclosure in Management’s Discussion and Analysis subsequent to adoption.

On April 27, 2011, the members of the Board of Directors were granted a total of 13,500 options as specified in the Directors’ Plan. These options were granted at an exercise price of $20.02 per option, which was the closing price of Citizens Holding Company stock on that day. These options are first exercisable on October 28, 2011, and must be exercised no later than April 27, 2021.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of the options granted to the directors in the second quarter of 2011.

Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the foregoing assumptions, it was determined that the cost of options granted under the Directors’ Plan in April 2011 was $123,702 and should be recognized as an expense of $20,617 per month over the six-month requisite service period, beginning in April 2011. This was recorded as salary expense with a credit to paid-in capital. A deferred tax on these options was recorded in the aggregate amount of $46,140, or $7,690 per month, over the six-month requisite service period, beginning in April 2011.

Note 5. Income Taxes

The income tax topic of the ASC defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. This topic also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties, and includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods. As of June 30, 2011, the Corporation had no unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters. Therefore, the Corporation does not anticipate any material increase or decrease in the effective tax rate during 2011 relative to any tax positions taken. It is the Corporation’s policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Loans are considered to be past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are placed on non-accrual status, when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions. Loans may be placed on non-accrual status regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. When interest accruals are discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Corporation will be unable to collect all the amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. In determining which loans to evaluate for impairment, management looks at past due loans, bankruptcy filing and any situation that might lend itself to cause a borrower to be unable to repay the loan according to the original contract terms. If a loan is determined to be impaired and the collateral is deemed to be insufficient to fully repay the loan, a specific reserve will be established. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of the principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans or portions thereof, are charged-off when deemed uncollectible.

The Corporation utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans when originated and is updated as factors related to the strength of the loan changes. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 9. A description of the general characteristics of the 9 risk grades is as follows.

Grade 1. MINIMAL RISK - Those loans without loss exposure to the Corporation. This classification is reserved for only the best, well secured loans to borrowers with significant capital strength, low leverage, stable earnings and growth and other readily available financing alternatives. This type of loan would also include loans secured by a program of the government.

Grade 2. MODEST RISK - These loans include borrowers with solid credit quality and moderate risk of loss. These loans may be fully secured by certificates of deposit with another reputable financial institution, or secured by readily marketable securities with acceptable margins.

Grade 3. AVERAGE RISK - This is the rating assigned to most of the loans held by the Corporation. This includes loans with average loss exposure and average overall quality. These loans should liquidate through possessing adequate collateral and adequate earnings of the borrower. In addition, these loans are properly documented and are in accordance with all aspects of the current loan policy.

Grade 4. ACCEPTABLE RISK - Borrower generates sufficient cash flow to fund debt service but most working asset and capital expansion needs are provided from external sources. Profitability and key balance sheet ratios are usually close to peers but one or more may be higher than peers.

Grade 5. MANAGEMENT ATTENTION - Borrower has significant weaknesses resulting from performance trends or management concerns. The financial condition of the borrower has taken a negative turn and may be temporarily strained. Cash flow is weak but cash reserves remain adequate to meet debt service. Management weakness is evident.

Grade 6. OTHER LOANS ESPECIALLY MENTIONED (OLEM) - Loans in this category are fundamentally sound but possess some weaknesses. OLEM loans have potential weaknesses which may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the bank’s credit position at some future date. These loans have an identifiable weakness in credit, collateral, or repayment ability but there is no expectation of loss.

Grade 7. SUBSTANDARD ASSETS - Assets classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness based upon objective evidence. Assets classified as substandard are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. The possibility that liquidation would not be timely requires a substandard classification even if there is little likelihood of total loss.

Grade 8. DOUBTFUL - A loan classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses of a substandard classification and the added characteristic that the weakness makes collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. A doubtful classification could reflect the fact that the primary source of repayment is gone and serious doubt exists as to the quality of a secondary source of repayment.

Grade 9. LOSS - Loans classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may occur in the future. Also included in this classification is the defined loss portion of loans rated substandard assets and doubtful assets.

These internally assigned grades are updated on a continual basis throughout the course of the year and represent management’s most updated judgment regarding grades at June 30, 2011.

The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for possible loan losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of probable losses that will occur within the existing portfolio of loans. The allowance, in the judgment of management, is necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio.

The allowance on the majority of the loan portfolio is calculated using a historical chargeoff percentage applied to the current loan balances by loan segment. This historical period is the average of the previous 5 years with the most current years weighted to show the effect of the most recent chargeoff activity. This percentage is also adjusted for economic factors such as local unemployment and general business conditions, both local and nationwide.

The group of loans that are considered to be impaired are individually evaluated for possible loss and a specific reserve is established to cover any loss contingency. Loans that are determined to be a loss with no benefit of remaining in the portfolio are charged off to the allowance. These specific reserves are reviewed periodically for continued impairment and adequacy of the specific reserve and adjusted when necessary.

Note 7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 820, which requires the addition of new disclosures and clarifies existing disclosure requirements already included in the guidance for fair value measurements. The new disclosures related to significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reasons for the transfers, as well as the clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim or annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The new disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements are effective for interim or annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption has not had a material effect on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or stockholders’ equity.

In July 2010, the FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 310, that requires additional disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of the nature of credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The update makes changes to existing disclosure requirements and includes additional disclosure requirements about financing receivables, including credit quality indicators of financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables, the

aging of past due financing receivables at the end of the reporting period by class of financing receivables, and the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses. The disclosures as of the end of a reporting period were effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The update has not had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements other than the new required disclosures.

Note 8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value topic of the ASC establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. This topic clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This topic also requires disclosure about how fair value was determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:

 

Level 1    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2    Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; or
Level 3    Unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011:

As of June 30, 2011, management determined, based on the current credit ratings, known defaults and deferrals by the underlying banks and the degree to which future defaults and deferrals would be required to occur before the cash flow for the Corporation’s tranche is negatively impacted, that no other-than-temporary impairment exists.

The Corporation recorded no gains or losses in earnings for the period that were attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to assets still held at the reporting date.

Impaired loans with a carrying value of $3,711,341 and $4,159,181 had an allocated allowance for loan losses of $1,349,341 and $1,478,406 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The allocated allowance is based on the carrying value of the impaired loan and the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated costs to sell.

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) acquired during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, and recorded at fair value, less costs to sell, was $329,000. There were no writedowns during the period on OREO previously acquired. OREO acquired during 2010 and recorded at fair value, less costs to sell, was $973,758. Additional writedowns during 2010 on OREO previously acquired was $112,060 on five properties valued at $1,198,440.

In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. The financial instruments topic of the ASC excludes certain financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Corporation and may not be indicative of amounts that might ultimately be realized upon disposition or settlement of those assets and liabilities.

The following represents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments at June 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010:

The fair value estimates, methods and assumptions used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial statements were as follows:

Cash and Due from Banks and Interest Bearing Deposits with Banks

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for these instruments approximate fair value because of their immediate and shorter-term maturities, which are considered to be three months or less when purchased.

Securities Available-for-Sale

Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of

Table of Contents

comparable instruments. When neither quoted prices nor comparable instruments are available, unobservable inputs are needed to form an expected future cash flow analysis to establish fair values. Level 2 securities include debt securities such as obligations of United States government agencies and corporations, mortgage-backed securities and state, county and municipal bonds. Level 3 securities consist of a pooled trust preferred security.

Net Loans

For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for other loans (i.e., commercial real estate and rental property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans, financial institution loans, and agricultural loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Impaired Loans

Loans considered impaired are reserved for at the time the loan is identified as impaired taking into account the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including but not limited to, equipment, inventory and accounts receivable. The fair value of real estate is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The fair value of the business assets is generally based on amounts reported on the business’ financial statements. Appraised and reported values may be adjusted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation and management’s knowledge of the client and the client’s business. Since not all valuation inputs are observable, these nonrecurring fair value determinations are classified Level 3. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors previously identified.

Other real estate owned

OREO is comprised of commercial and residential real estate obtained in partial or total satisfaction of loan obligations. OREO acquired in settlement of indebtedness is recorded at fair value of the real estate, less costs to sell. Subsequently, it may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments for decline in fair value. Fair value, when recorded, is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers and adjusted for management’s estimates of costs to sell. As such, values for OREO are classified as Level 3.

Deposits

The fair values for demand deposits, NOW and money market accounts and savings accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and time deposits approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Borrowings

The fair value of FHLB advances is based on discounted cash flow analysis.

Federal Funds Sold and Purchased and Commercial Repurchase Agreements

Due to the short term nature of these instruments, which is considered to be three months or less, the carrying amount is equal to the fair value.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments

The fair value of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are estimated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. The fees associated with these financial instruments are not material.

Table of Contents

Management’s discussion and analysis is intended to provide greater insight into the results of operations and the financial condition of Citizens Holding Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia (the “Bank,” and collectively with Citizens Holding Company, the “Corporation”). The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this report.

LIQUIDITY

The Corporation has an asset and liability management program that assists management in maintaining net interest margins during times of both rising and falling interest rates and in maintaining sufficient liquidity. A measurement of liquidity is the ratio of net deposits and short-term liabilities divided by the sum of net cash, short-term investments and marketable assets. This measurement for liquidity of the Corporation at June 30, 2011, was 24.18% and at December 31, 2010, was 19.98%. Management believes it maintains adequate liquidity for the Corporation’s current needs.

The Corporation’s primary source of liquidity is customer deposits, which were $547,149,773 at June 30, 2011, and $537,429,723 at December 31, 2010. Other sources of liquidity include investment securities, the Corporation’s line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and federal funds lines with correspondent banks. The Corporation had $347,936,349 invested in investment securities at June 30, 2011, and $324,730,301 at December 31, 2010. The Corporation had secured and unsecured federal funds lines with correspondent banks in the amount of $37,500,000 at June 30, 2011 and $46,400,000 at December 31, 2010. The Corporation lowered its available federal funds lines with correspondent banks after an assessment of prior use and the need for this line in the future. In addition, the Corporation has the ability to draw on its line of credit with the FHLB. At June 30, 2011, the Corporation had unused and available $104,581,156 of its line of credit with the FHLB and at December 31, 2010, the Corporation had unused and available $119,501,966 of its line of credit with the FHLB. The decrease in the amount available under the Corporation’s line of credit with the FHLB from the end of 2010 to June 30, 2011, was the result of a decrease in collateral available, as calculated quarterly by the FHLB.

At June 30, 2011 the Corporation had no federal funds purchased and at December 31, 2010, had federal funds purchased in the amounts of $2,500,000. The Corporation usually purchases funds from correspondent banks on a temporary basis to meet short term funding needs.

When the Corporation has more funds than it needs for its reserve requirements or short-term liquidity needs, the Corporation increases its investment portfolio, increases the balances in interest bearing due from accounts or sells federal funds. It is management’s policy to maintain an adequate portion of its portfolio of assets and liabilities on a short-term basis to insure rate flexibility and to meet loan funding and liquidity needs. When deposits decline or do not grow sufficiently to fund loan demand, management will seek funding either through federal funds purchased or advances from the FHLB.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Corporation’s equity capital was $83,343,242 at June 30, 2011, as compared to $76,295,096 at December 31, 2010. One of the reasons for the increase in equity capital was net earnings in excess of dividends paid. Equity capital was also positively impacted by the investment securities market value adjustment due to an increase in the market value of the Corporation’s investment portfolio. This market value increase was due to general market conditions, specifically the decrease in short term interest rates, which caused an increase in the market price of the investment portfolio.

Commencing May 1, 2009, the Corporation renewed its stock repurchase program whereby the Corporation may purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock on the open market. This plan terminated April 30, 2010, and the Corporation had purchased 49,326 shares at an average price of $22.75. This reduced the number of shares outstanding at December 31, 2010, to 4,838,411.

Cash dividends in the amount of $2,130,331, or $0.44 per share, have been paid in 2011 as of the end of the second quarter.

Quantitative measures established by federal regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Corporation to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital (primarily common stock and retained earnings, less goodwill) to risk weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes that as of June 30, 2011, the Corporation meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

See Note 3 to the Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements for an explanation regarding the Corporation’s calculation of Net Income Per Share - basic and - diluted.

Annualized return on average equity (“ROE”) was 9.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, and 8.67% for the corresponding period in 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, ROE was 9.60% compared to 9.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. In both instances, the increase in ROE was caused by a slight increase in average equity along with an increase in net income for the three and six months of 2011.

The book value per share increased to $17.21 at June 30, 2011, compared to $15.77 at December 31, 2010. The increase in book value per share reflects the increase in equity due to the amount of earnings in excess of dividends and the increase in other comprehensive income due to the increase in market value of the Corporation’s investment securities. Average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2011, were $826,736,862 compared to $839,212,189 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Table of Contents

NET INTEREST INCOME / NET INTEREST MARGIN

One component of the Corporation’s earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments and the interest paid for deposits and borrowed funds. The net interest margin is net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets.

The annualized net interest margin was 4.29% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 3.97% for the corresponding period of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, annualized net interest margin was 4.28% compared to 4.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in net interest margin from 2010 to 2011 is the result of an increase in yields on earning assets compared to the decrease in rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds, along with a decrease in average earning assets, as detailed below. Earning assets averaged $751,504,674 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This represents a decrease of $6,969,436, or 0.9%, over average earning assets of $758,474,110 for the three month period ended June 30, 2010. Earning assets averaged $748,443,331 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This represents a decrease of $12,803,821, or 1.7% over average earning assets of $761,247,152 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in earning assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, is the result of the declining loan demand and decline in deposits due to current local and national economic conditions.

Interest bearing deposits averaged $438,381,788 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This represents a decrease of $29,749,173, or 6.4%, from the average of interest bearing deposits of $468,130,961 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. This was due, in large part, to a decrease in certificates of deposit.

Other borrowed funds averaged $206,074,800 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This represents an increase of $14,264,027, or 7.4%, over the other borrowed funds of $191,810,773 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010. This increase in other borrowed funds was due to a $10,630,854 increase in the Commercial Repo Liability, a $200,463 decrease in the ABE Loan Liability, a $4,422,320 increase in Federal Funds Purchased and a decrease in the FHLB advances of $588,684 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, when compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2010.

Interest bearing deposits averaged $438,784,184 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011. This represents a decrease of $31,635,673, or 6.7% from the average of interest bearing deposits of $470,419,857 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. This was due, in large part, to a decrease in certificates of deposit and interest bearing transaction accounts.

Other borrowed funds averaged $205,638,743 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This represents an increase of $11,668,078, or 6.0% over the other borrowed funds of $193,970,665 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. This increase in other borrowed funds was due to a $10,760,036 increase in the Commercial Repo Liability, a $207,427 decrease in the ABE Loan Liability, a $927,624 increase in Federal Funds Purchased and an increase in the Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $187,845 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, when compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2010.

Table of Contents

Net interest income was $7,761,483 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $550,215 from $7,211,268 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to changes in rate. The changes in volume in earning assets and in deposits and in borrowed funds are discussed above. As to changes in rate in the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, the yield on earning assets increased while the rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds decreased from the same period in 2010. The yield on all interest bearing assets increased 3 basis points to 5.18% in the second quarter of 2011 from 5.15% for the same period in 2010. At the same time, the rate paid on all interest bearing liabilities for the second quarter of 2011 decreased by 33 basis points to 1.05% from 1.38% in the same period of 2010. As longer term interest bearing assets and liabilities mature and reprice, management believes that the yields on interest bearing assets and rates on interest bearing liabilities will both decrease.

Net interest income was $15,339,802 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $563,229 from the $14,776,573 for the six-months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to changes in both rate and volume. The changes in volume in earning assets and in deposits and in borrowed funds are discussed above. As to changes in rate, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds decreased more than the yield on earning assets as compared to the changes in rates and yields in the same period of 2010. The yield on all interest bearing assets decreased 8 basis points to 5.20% in the first six months of 2011 from 5.28% for the same period in 2010. At the same time, the rate paid on all interest bearing liabilities for the first six months of 2011 decreased 31 basis points to 1.07% from 1.38% in the same period in 2010. As longer term interest bearing assets and liabilities mature and reprice, management believes that the yields on interest bearing assets and rates on interest bearing liabilities will both decrease.

The following table shows the interest and fees and corresponding yields for loans only.

CREDIT LOSS EXPERIENCE

As a natural corollary to the Corporation’s lending activities, some loan losses are to be expected. The risk of loss varies with the type of loan being made and the overall creditworthiness of the

 

30


Table of Contents

borrower over the term of the loan. The degree of perceived risk is taken into account in establishing the structure of, and interest rates and security for, specific loans and for various types of loans. The Corporation attempts to minimize its credit risk exposure by use of thorough loan application and approval procedures.

The Corporation maintains a program of systematic review of its existing loans. Loans are graded for their overall quality. Those loans, which the Corporation’s management determines require further monitoring and supervision, are segregated and reviewed on a regular basis. Significant problem loans are reviewed on a monthly basis by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

The Corporation charges off that portion of any loan that management has determined to be a loss. A loan is generally considered by management to represent a loss in whole or in part when exposure beyond the collateral value is apparent, servicing of the unsecured portion has been discontinued or collection is not anticipated based on the borrower’s financial condition. The general economic conditions in the borrower’s industry influence this determination. The principal amount of any loan that is declared a loss is charged against the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses.

The Corporation’s allowance for loan losses is designed to provide for loan losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to operating expenses in the form of provisions for loan losses. Actual loan losses or recoveries are charged or credited to the allowance for loan losses. Management of the Corporation determines the amount of the allowance. Among the factors considered in determining the allowance for loan losses are the current financial condition of the Corporation’s borrowers and the value of security, if any, for their loans. Estimates of future economic conditions and their impact on various industries and individual borrowers are also taken into consideration, as are the Corporation’s historical loan loss experience and reports of banking regulatory authorities. As these estimates, factors and evaluations are primarily judgmental, no assurance can be given as to whether the Corporation will sustain loan losses in excess or below its allowance or that subsequent evaluation of the loan portfolio may not require material increases or decreases in such allowance.

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was $682,773, a decrease of $12,482 from the $695,255 provision for the same period in 2010. The provision for loan losses was $926,834 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to a provision of $1,320,211 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in our loan loss provisions for the three and six-month periods is a result of a decrease in outstanding loans, an increase in loan losses recorded for the respective periods and management’s assessment of inherent loss in the loan portfolio, including the impact caused by current local and national economic conditions. The Corporation’s model used to calculate the provision is based on the percentage of historical charge-offs applied to the current loan balances by loan segment and specific reserves applied to certain impaired loans. Nonaccrual loans decreased during this period due to the improvement of loans classified as non-accrual due to payments received on these loans in excess of new loans added to the list.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, net loan losses charged to the allowance for loan losses totaled $847,389, an increase of $439,689 from the $407,700 charged off in the same period in 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net loan losses charged to the allowance for loan losses totaled $946,302, an increase of $114,261 from the $832,041 charged off in the same period in 2010. This increase was due to an overall increase in the number of charge offs in 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010 and not the result of any one loan segment.

Management reviews with the Board of Directors the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. The loan loss provision is adjusted when specific items reflect a need for such an adjustment. Management believes that there were no material loan losses during the first six months of 2011 that have not been charged off. Management also believes that the Corporation’s allowance will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the Corporation’s loan portfolio. However, in light of overall economic conditions in the Corporation’s geographic area and the nation as a whole, it is possible that additional provisions for loan loss may be required.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest income includes service charges on deposit accounts, wire transfer fees, safe deposit box rentals and other revenue not derived from interest on earning assets. Non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011, was $1,516,466, a decrease of $249,225, or 14.1%, from the same period in 2010. The decrease in non-interest income is the result of investment security gains realized in 2010 that did not repeat in 2011. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $165,009, or 16.2%, to $855,986 in the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1,020,995 for the same period in 2010. Other service charges and fees increased by $42,603, or 11.4%, in the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. The difference in fee income was the result of fluctuations in volume and not a direct result of fee changes.

Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was $3,100,861, a decrease of $693,054, or 18.3%, compared to $3,793,915 for the same period in 2010. The decrease in non-interest income is the result of investment security gains realized in 2010 that did not repeat in 2011. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased $255,390, or 12.9%, to $1,730,383 in the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. Other service charges and fees increased $82,736, or 11.1%, in the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. The difference in fee income was the result of fluctuations in volume and not a direct result of fee changes.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, balances at correspondent banks and items in process of collection. The balance at June 30, 2011, was $22,299,125, an increase of $5,335,732 from the balance of $16,963,393 at December 31, 2010, due to an increase in the availability of cash letters sent for collection on the last day of the period.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, premises and equipment increased by $435,016, or 2.1%, to $21,186,494 when compared to $20,751,478 at December 31, 2010. The increase was due to the addition of property and equipment exceeding the amount of depreciation in the normal course of business. During this time, additions were made for interim construction costs on a new branch building in Hattiesburg.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The investment securities portfolio consists of United States agency debentures, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states, counties and municipal governments and FHLB stock. Investments at June 30, 2011, increased $23,206,048, or 7.1%, to $347,936,349 from the balance at December 31, 2010. This increase is due to the Corporation’s strategy of investing funds not needed for the declining loan demand in the highest yielding asset.

LOANS

The loan balance decreased by $9,424,174 during the three months ended June 30, 2011, to $406,072,546 from $415,496,720 at December 31, 2010. Loan demand, especially in the commercial and industrial loan and consumer categories, was weak during the first six months of 2011. No material changes were made to the loan products offered by the Corporation during this period.

Interest-bearing deposits, noninterest-bearing deposits and savings increased while certificates of deposit decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Management continually monitors the interest rates on loan and deposit products to ensure that the Corporation is in line with the rates dictated by the market and our asset and liability management. These rate adjustments impact deposit balances.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of the nature and extent of the Corporation’s off-balance sheet arrangements, which consist of commitments to fund loans and letters of credit.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of the Corporation’s business to the contractual obligations set forth in Note 12 to the Corporation’s financial statements contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The following discussion outlines specific risks that could affect the Corporation’s ability to compete, change the Corporation’s risk profile or eventually impact the Corporation’s financial results. The risks the Corporation faces generally are similar to those experienced, to varying degrees, by all financial services companies.

The Corporation’s strategies and its management’s ability to react to changing competitive and

 

36


Table of Contents

economic environments have historically enabled the Corporation to compete effectively and manage risks to acceptable levels. The Corporation has outlined potential risk factors below that it presently believe could be important; however, other risks may prove to be important in the future. New risks may emerge at any time and the Corporation cannot predict with certainty all potential developments which could affect the Corporation’s financial performance. The following discussion highlights potential risks, which could intensify over time or shift dynamically in a way that might change the Corporation’s risk profile.

Competition Risks

The market in which the Corporation competes is saturated with community banks seeking to provide a service oriented banking experience to individuals and businesses compared with what the Corporation believes is the more rigid and less friendly environment found in large banks. This requires the Corporation to offer most, if not all, of the products and conveniences that are offered by the larger banks with a service differentiation. In doing so, it is imperative that the Corporation identify the lines of business that the Corporation can excel in, prudently utilize the Corporation’s available capital to acquire the people and platforms required thereof and execute on the strategy.

Credit Risks

Like all lenders, the Corporation faces the risk that the Corporation’s customers may not repay their loans and that the realizable value of collateral may be insufficient to avoid a loss of principal. In the Corporation’s business, some level of credit loss is unavoidable and overall levels of credit loss can vary over time. Our ability to manage credit risks depends primarily upon the Corporation’s ability to assess the creditworthiness of customers and the value of collateral, including real estate. The Corporation controls credit risk by diversifying the Corporation’s loan portfolio and managing its composition, and by recording and managing an allowance for expected loan losses in accordance with applicable accounting rules. At the end of June 30, 2011, the Corporation had $6.360 million of available reserves to cover such losses. The models and approaches the Corporation uses to originate and manage loans are regularly updated to take into account changes in the competitive environment, in real estate prices and other collateral values, and in the economy, among other things based on the Corporation’s experience originating loans and servicing loan portfolios.

Financing, Funding and Liquidity Risks

One of the most important aspects of management’s efforts to sustain long-term profitability for the Corporation is the management of interest rate risk. Management’s goal is to maximize net interest income within acceptable levels of interest-rate risk and liquidity.

The Corporation’s assets and liabilities are principally financial in nature and the resulting earnings thereon are subject to significant variability due to the timing and extent to which the Corporation can reprice the yields on interest-earning assets and the costs of interest bearing liabilities as a result of changes in market interest rates. Interest rates in the financial markets affect the Corporation’s decisions on pricing its assets and liabilities which impacts net interest

Table of Contents

income, an important cash flow stream for the Corporation. As a result, a substantial part of the Corporation’s risk-management activities are devoted to managing interest-rate risk. Currently, the Corporation does not have any significant risks related to foreign exchange, commodities or equity risk exposures.

Interest Rate and Yield Curve Risks

A significant portion of the Corporation’s business involves borrowing and lending money. Accordingly, changes in interest rates directly impact the Corporation’s revenues and expenses, and potentially could compress the Corporation’s net interest margin. The Corporation actively manages its balance sheet to control the risks of a reduction in net interest margin brought about by ordinary fluctuations in rates.

Like all financial services companies, the Corporation faces the risks of abnormalities in the yield curve. The yield curve simply shows the interest rates applicable to short and long term debt. The curve is steep when short-term rates are much lower than long-term rates: it is flat when short-term rates are equal, or nearly equal, to long-term rates: and it is inverted when short-term rates exceed long-term rates. Historically, the yield curve is positively sloped. A flat or inverted yield curve tends to decrease net interest margin, as funding costs increase relative to the yield on assets. Currently, the yield curve is positively sloped.

Regulatory and Legal Risks

The Corporation operates in a heavily regulated industry and therefore is subject to many banking, deposit, and consumer lending regulations in addition to the rules applicable to all companies publicly traded in the U.S. securities markets. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in financial, structural, and operational penalties. In addition, efforts to comply with applicable regulations may increase the Corporation’s costs and, or limit the Corporation’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities. Federal and state regulations significantly limit the types of activities in which the Corporation, as a financial institution, may engage. In addition, the Corporation is subject to a wide array of other regulations that govern other aspects of how the Corporation conducts business, such as in the areas of employment and intellectual property. Federal and state legislative and regulatory authorities occasionally consider changing these regulations or adopting new ones. Such actions could limit the amount of interest or fees the Corporation can charge, could restrict the Corporation’s ability to collect loans or realize on collateral or could materially affect us in other ways. Additional federal and state consumer protection regulations also could expand the privacy protections afforded to customers of financial institutions, restricting the Corporation’s ability to share or receive customer information and increasing the Corporation’s costs. In addition, changes in accounting rules can significantly affect how the Corporation records and reports assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and earnings.

The Corporation also faces litigation risks from customers (singly or in class actions) and from federal or state regulators. Litigation is an unavoidable part of doing business, and the Corporation manages those risks through internal controls, personnel training, insurance, litigation management, the Corporation’s compliance and ethics processes and other means. However, the commencement, outcome and magnitude of litigation cannot be predicted or controlled with certainty.

Table of Contents

Accounting Estimate Risks

The preparation of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make significant estimates that affect the financial statements. The Corporation’s most critical estimate is the level of the allowance for credit losses. However, other estimates occasionally become highly significant, especially in volatile situations such as litigation and other loss contingency matters. Estimates are made at specific points in time; as actual events unfold, estimates are adjusted accordingly. Due to the inherent nature of these estimates, it is possible that, at some time in the future, the Corporation may significantly increase the allowance for credit losses or sustain credit losses that are significantly higher than the provided allowance, or the Corporation may make some other adjustment that will differ materially from the estimates that the Corporation make today.

Expense Control

Expenses and other costs directly affect the Corporation’s earnings. The Corporation’s ability to successfully manage expenses is important to its long-term profitability. Many factors can influence the amount of the Corporation’s expenses, as well as how quickly they grow. As the Corporation’s businesses change or expand, additional expenses can arise from asset purchases, structural reorganization evolving business strategies, and changing regulations, among other things. The Corporation manages expense growth and risk through a variety of means, including actual versus budget management, imposition of expense authorization, and procurement coordination and processes.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The management of the Corporation, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management as appropriate to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

There were no changes to the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the three months ended June 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Information regarding risk factors appears in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in such Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in interest rates could make it difficult to maintain our current interest income spread and could result in reduced earnings.

Our earnings are largely derived from net interest income, which is interest income and fees earned on loans and investments, less interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond the control of our management, such as general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. An unanticipated rapid decrease or increase in interest rates could have an adverse effect on the spreads between the interest rates earned on assets and the rates of interest paid on liabilities, and therefore on the level of net interest income. Further, substantially higher interest rates generally reduce loan demand and may result in slower loan growth than previously experienced. Due to concerns regarding the federal debt ceiling, the credit rating agencies may downgrade the credit rating of the federal government, which could result in increased interest rates generally. For the reasons set forth above, an increase in interest rates generally as a result of such a credit rating downgrade could adversely affect our net interest income levels, thereby resulting in reduced earnings, and reduce loan demand.
