PART I
ITEM 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
THE REGISTRANT
Peoples Financial Corporation (the Company) was established as a one bank holding company on
December 18, 1984. The Company is headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi. At December 31, 2005, the
Company operated in the state of Mississippi through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Peoples Bank,
Biloxi, Mississippi (the Bank). The Company is now engaged, through this subsidiary, in the
banking business. The Bank is the Companys principal asset and primary source of revenue.
NONBANK SUBSIDIARY
On August 22, 1985, PFC Service Corp. (PFC) was chartered and began operations as the second
wholly-owned subsidiary of Peoples Financial Corporation on October 3, 1985. The purpose of PFC
was principally the leasing of automobiles and equipment under direct financing and sales-type
leases that expired in various periods through 1993. PFC is inactive at this time.
THE BANK SUBSIDIARY
The Companys wholly-owned bank subsidiary is The Peoples Bank, which was originally chartered in
1896 in Biloxi, Mississippi. The Bank is a state chartered bank whose deposits are insured under
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. The
legal name of the Bank was changed to The Peoples Bank, Biloxi, Mississippi, during 1991.
The Bank currently offers a variety of loan and deposit services to individuals and small to middle
market businesses within its trade area. Deposit services include interest bearing and
non-interest bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and IRA
accounts. The Bank also offers a non-deposit funds management account, which is not insured by the
FDIC. Loan services include business, real estate, construction, personal and installment loans,
with an emphasis on commercial lending. The Bank also offers a variety of other functions
including collection services, asset management and trust services, wire services, safe deposit box
facilities, night drop facilities, cash management, automated teller machines and Internet, or
home, banking.
The Bank has a large number of customers acquired over a period of many years and is not dependent
upon a single customer or upon a few customers. The Bank also provides services to customers
representing a wide variety of industries including seafood, retail, hospitality, gaming and
construction. While the Company has pursued external growth strategies on a limited basis, its
primary focus has been on internal growth by the Bank through the establishment of new branch
locations and an emphasis on strong customer relationships.

Table of Contents
The Main Office, operations center and asset management and trust services of the Bank
are located in downtown Biloxi, MS. At December 31, 2005, the Bank also had fifteen (15) branches
located throughout Harrison, Hancock, Jackson and Stone Counties. The Bank has automated teller
machines (ATM) at its Main Office, all branch locations and at numerous non-proprietary
locations.
At December 31, 2005, the Bank employed 203 full-time employees and 19 part-time employees.
HURRICANE KATRINA
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Mississippi Gulf Coast, negatively impacting the
Companys entire trade area. The Bank subsidiary suffered significant damage to its branch
facilities and the Company has encountered numerous challenges
including but not limited to extraordinary customer service needs, addressing unusual facility management issues, and dealing with potentially
hazardous materials. Further information concerning the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the
Companys operations, financial condition and results of operations are presented in Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations which is on pages 5 9
of the 2005 Annual Report and which is incorporated herein by reference. The impact of Hurricane
Katrina on reporting requirements under Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is disclosed
in Item 9a.
COMPETITION
The Bank is in direct competition with numerous local and regional commercial banks as well as
other non-bank institutions. Interest rates paid and charged on deposits and loans are the
primary competitive factors within the Banks trade area. The Bank also competes for deposits
and loans with insurance companies, finance companies and automobile finance companies. The Bank
intends to continue its strategy of being a local, community bank offering traditional bank
services and providing quality service in its local trade area.
ASSET MANAGEMENT AND TRUST SERVICES
The Banks Asset Management and Trust Services Department offers personal trust, agencies and
estate services including living and testamentary trusts, executorships, guardianships, and
conservatorships. Benefit accounts maintained by the Department primarily include self-directed
individual retirement accounts. Escrow management, stock transfer and bond paying agency accounts
are available to corporate customers.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Bank holds no patents, licenses (other than licenses required to be obtained from appropriate
bank regulatory agencies), franchises or concessions. During 1994, the Bank obtained the rights to
the registered trademark, The Mint. There has been no significant change in the kind of services
offered by the Bank during the last three fiscal years.

Table of Contents
The Bank has not engaged in any research activities relating to the development of new services or
the improvement of existing services except in the normal course of its business activities. The
Bank presently has no plans for any new line of business requiring the investment of a material
amount of total assets.
Most of the Banks business originates from within Harrison, Hancock, Stone and Jackson Counties in
Mississippi; however, some business is obtained from other counties in southern Mississippi. There
has been no material effect upon the Banks capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position
as a result of federal, state or local environmental regulations.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
The Company is required to file certain reports with, and otherwise comply with the rules and
regulations of, the Securities and Exchange Commission under federal securities laws. The common
stock of the Company is listed on the NASDAQ small market exchange, such listing subjecting the
Company to compliance with the exchanges requirements with respect to reporting and other rules
and regulations. See the comments regarding The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 presented in
Managements Discussion and Analysis at pages 5 9 of the 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders,
which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company is a registered one bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act. As such,
the Company is required to file periodic reports and such additional information as the Federal
Reserve may require. The Federal Reserve Board may also make examinations of the Company and its
subsidiaries. The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior
approval of the Federal Reserve Board before it may acquire substantially all the assets of any
bank or ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if, after the acquisition, it would
own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5 percent of the voting shares of the bank.
A bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect
control of, voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities. One of the principal
exceptions to this prohibition is for activities found by the Federal Reserve to be so closely
related to banking or the managing or controlling of banks as to be a proper incident thereto.
Some of the activities the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be closely related
to banking are the making and servicing of loans, performing certain bookkeeping or data processing
services, acting as fiduciary or investment or financial advisor, making equity or debt investments
in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare, leasing transactions
if the functional equivalent of an extension of credit and mortgage banking or brokerage.
A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are also prohibited from acquiring any voting shares of
or interest in, any banks located outside the state in which the operations of the bank holding
companys subsidiaries are located, unless the acquisition is specially authorized by the statute
of the state in which the target is located. Mississippi has enacted legislation which authorizes
interstate acquisitions of banking organizations by bank holding companies outside of Mississippi,
and also interstate branching transactions, subject to certain conditions and restrictions.

Table of Contents
The Bank is subject to the regulation of and examination by the Mississippi Department of Banking
and Consumer Finance (Department of Banking) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC). Areas subject to regulation include reserves, investments, loans, mergers, branching,
issuance of securities, payment of dividends, capital adequacy, management practices and all other
aspects of banking operations. In addition to regular examinations, the Bank must furnish periodic
reports to its regulatory authorities containing a full and accurate statement of affairs. The
Bank is subject to deposit insurance assessments by the FDIC and the Department of Banking.
The earnings of commercial banks and bank holding companies are affected not only by general
economic conditions but also by the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities,
including the Federal Reserve Board. In particular, the Federal Reserve Board regulates money and
credit conditions, and interest rates, primarily through open market operations in U. S. Government
securities, varying the discount rate of member and nonmember bank borrowing, setting reserve
requirements against bank deposits and regulating interest rates payable by banks on certain
deposits. These policies influence to a varying extent the overall growth and distribution of bank
loans, investments and deposits and the interest rates charged on loans. The monetary policies of
the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial
banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.
RECENT REGULATION AND SUPERVISION LEGISLATION
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the Act) allows bank holding companies to engage in a wider range of
financial activities. In order to engage in such activities, which, among others, include
underwriting and selling insurance, providing financial, investment or economic advisory services,
and underwriting, dealing in or making a market in, services, a bank holding company must elect to
become a financial holding company. The Act also authorized the establishment of financial
subsidiaries in order to engage in such financial activities, with certain limitations.
The Act also contains a number of other provisions affecting the Companys operations . One of the
most important of these provisions relates to the issue of privacy. Federal banking regulators were
authorized by the Act to adopt rules designed to protect the financial privacy of consumers. These
rules implemented notice requirements and restrictions on a financial institutions ability to
disclose nonpublic personal information about consumers to non-affiliated third parties.
As of the date of this Form 10-K, the Company has not taken any action to adopt either the
financial holding company or the financial subsidiary structures that were authorized by the Act.
SUPPLEMENTAL STATISTICAL INFORMATION
Schedules I-A through VII present certain statistical information regarding the Company. This
information is not audited and should be read in conjunction with the Companys Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements found at pages 10 29 of the
2005 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Table of Contents
DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY AND INTEREST RATES AND DIFFERENTIALS
Net Interest Income, the difference between Interest Income and Interest Expense, is the most
significant component of the Companys earnings. For interest analytical purposes, Management
adjusts Net Interest Income to a taxable equivalent basis using a 34% Federal Income Tax rate on
tax-exempt items (primarily interest on municipal securities).
Another significant statistic in the analysis of Net Interest Income is the effective interest
differential, also called the net yield on earning assets. The net yield is the difference between
the rate of interest earned on earning assets and the effective rate paid for all funds,
non-interest bearing as well as interest bearing. Since a portion of the Banks deposits do not
bear interest, such as demand deposits, the rate paid for all funds is lower than the rate on
interest bearing liabilities alone.
Recognizing the importance of interest differential to total earnings, Management places great
emphasis on managing interest rate spreads. Although interest differential is affected by
national, regional and area economic conditions, including the level of credit demand and interest
rates, there are significant opportunities to influence interest differential through appropriate
loan and investment policies which are designed to maximize the interest differential while
maintaining sufficient liquidity and availability of incremental funds for purposes of meeting
existing commitments and investment in lending and investment opportunities that may arise.
The information included in Schedule I-F presents the change in interest income and interest
expense along with the reason(s) for these changes. The change attributable to volume is computed
as the change in volume times the old rate. The change attributable to rate is computed as the
change in rate times the old volume. The change in rate/volume is computed as the change in rate
times the change in volume.
SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE
In the normal course of business, the Bank assumes risks in extending credit. The Bank manages
these risks through its lending policies, loan review procedures and the diversification of its
loan portfolio. Although it is not possible to predict loan losses with complete accuracy,
Management constantly reviews the characteristics of the loan portfolio to determine its overall
risk profile and quality.
Constant attention to the quality of the loan portfolio is achieved by the loan review process.
Throughout this ongoing process, Management is advised of the condition of individual loans and of
the quality profile of the entire loan portfolio. Any loan or portion thereof which is classified
loss by regulatory examiners or which is determined by Management to be uncollectible because of
such factors as the borrowers failure to pay interest or principal, the borrowers financial
condition, economic conditions in the borrowers industry or the inadequacy of underlying
collateral, is charged-off.
7
Table of Contents
Provisions are charged to operating expense based upon historical loss experience, and additional
amounts are provided when, in the opinion of Management, such provisions are not adequate based
upon the current factors affecting loan collectibility.
The allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan category is based on the factors
mentioned in the preceding paragraphs. Accordingly, since all of these factors are subject to
change, the allocation is not necessarily indicative of the breakdown of future losses.
Hurricane Katrina destroyed tens of thousands of homes and businesses in the Companys trade area,
thus resulting in potential loan losses to the Bank
subsidiary. An evaluation of the loan portfolio to asses the impact of Hurricane Katrina was
initiated by the Company as soon as possible, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and established loan review polices. The comments concerning the provision for loan losses and the allowance for loan losses presented
in Managements Discussion and Analysis at pages 5 9 of the 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders
and Note A Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies at pages 15 29 of the 2005
Annual Report to Shareholders, are incorporated herein by reference.

404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. However, due to the impact of Hurricane Katrina, the
Company has been unable to complete the assessment and reporting on internal controls over
financial reporting required by paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 308 of Regulation S-K. In its Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company disclosed in Item 5 of Part II that it
would probably be unable to be compliant with the SOX 404 reporting in a timely manner.
On March 9, 2006, the Company filed a letter application with the Securities and Exchange
Commission specifically requesting an exemption from the requirement to include disclosures
specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 308 of Regulation S-K in the Companys Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and an exemption from compliance with Rule 13a-15(c) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, under authority
given to the Commission by Section 12(h) of the Exchange Act. A copy
of the letter application may be found at Exhibit 99.1.
On March 10, 2006, the Commission issued a Notice announcing that the Companys application for
relief had been filed. A copy of the Notice may be found at the
Commissions website, www.sec.gov. It is expected that the Notice will published in the Federal
Register on or about March 16, 2006. A comment period relating to this application extends until
March 30, 2006. At any time after this date, the Commission may issue an order granting the
application.
There were no changes in Companys internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the period ended December 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
