REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Citizens Holding Company

Philadelphia, Mississippi

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of Citizens Holding Company and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A

company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (a) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (b) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (c) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of Citizens Holding Company (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management, under the direction of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, assessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2011, the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.

The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

HORNE LLP, the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, has audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, as stated in their report, beginning on page 1, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.

I am pleased to be able to present to you some of the accomplishments and financial results for 2011. I am thankful to report that we have weathered the current economic situation well. Due to diligent efforts in our decision-making and with continued strategic plan deployment, we have maintained and achieved respectable results. This was accomplished by the hard work of the entire staff of the bank.

The attached financials show net income increased 0.8% over 2010. This equates to a basic per share earnings of $1.49 compared to $1.48 for 2010. The Bank’s total assets grew by 4.4% and deposits grew by 6.5%. While this may appear to be only a nominal growth rate, it is impressive considering the reality of the current economic conditions.

While we are in a relative non-growth mode, we continue to position our company for better economic conditions. In the past year, we continued to make strategic personnel decisions and invested in new software and training that helps with this positioning. In late 2011, we entered the Rankin County, Mississippi market by opening a branch in Flowood, Mississippi. This branch will allow us to participate in opportunities and service customer needs that cannot be accomplished from our existing branch network. We anticipate this branch will prosper as economic conditions continue to improve. It positions us well for future growth and further market penetration.

I feel that our organization is well positioned for the future. Based on economists’ predictions, much of the economy within the State of Mississippi will continue to struggle for the next few quarters. Hopefully, the economic conditions within the markets we serve will improve quicker than expected. With our stable earnings, current capital levels and prudent strategic plan, I believe we are prepared to maintain our current position until the economy thrives again. Until that time, we will analyze every decision, every reserve allocation and every capital deployment with the caution and integrity that you deserve. I never take lightly the responsibility of the long-term maximization of your investment.

I am truly appreciative of the efforts, loyalty and support of the stockholders, customers and employees of this great company. The support of these three groups is the primary reason for any success we achieve, now and in the future.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead this company. I am grateful to be allowed to serve each of you and look forward to the future.

As always, thank you for your interest and support in a great company.

Sincerely,

Greg McKee

President and CEO

Citizens Holding Company is subject to the regulations of the Federal Reserve. The area served by the Bank is Neshoba County, Mississippi and the immediately surrounding areas. Services are provided at several branch offices. In 2009, the Bank opened a loan production office in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses and valuation of foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Continued

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowance or adjustments to the valuation may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and valuations of foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance or to make adjustments to the valuation based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Due to these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowance for loan losses and valuation of foreclosed real estate may change materially in the near term.

Cash, Due from Banks and Interest Bearing Deposits with Other Banks

For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks include cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash flows from loans originated by the Company, deposits, and federal funds purchased and sold are reported net in the statement of cash flows. The Company is required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank based on a percentage of deposits. The average reserve required by the Federal Reserve Bank at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1,534,000 and $1,218,000, respectively.

Interest-bearing deposits with other banks mature within one year and are carried at cost.

Investment Securities

In accordance with the investments topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), securities are classified as “available-for-sale,” “held-to-maturity” or “trading”. Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. Gains or losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method. Currently, the Company has no held-to-maturity or trading securities.

Securities Available-for-Sale

Securities that are held for indefinite periods of time or used as part of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to interest rate changes, changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital and other similar factors are classified as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of related income tax effect, as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Continued

Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities sold, are included in earnings. The amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income.

The Company periodically reviews its securities for impairment based upon a number of factors, including but not limited to, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the likelihood of the security’s ability to recover any decline in its fair value, financial condition of the underlying issuer, ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations and ability to retain the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair value. Impairments on securities are recognized when management, based on its analysis, deems the impairment to be other-than-temporary. Disclosures about unrealized losses in our securities portfolio that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments are provided in Note 3.

Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income and an allowance for loan losses. The Company has no loans held-for-sale.

Unearned income includes deferred fees net of deferred direct incremental loan origination cost. Unearned income attributable to loans held with a maturity of more than one year are recognized as income or expense over the life of the loan.

Unearned discounts on installment loans are recognized as income over the terms of the loans by a method that approximates the interest method. Unearned income and interest on commercial loans are recognized based on the principal amount outstanding. For all other loans, interest is accrued daily on the outstanding balances. For impaired loans, interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Cash collections on impaired loans are credited to the loan receivable balance, and no interest income is recognized on those loans until the principal balance has been collected. The Company generally discontinues the accrual of interest income when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest; however, management may elect to continue the accrual when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and the accrued interest. Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments. Upon discontinuance of the accrual of interest on a loan, any previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against interest income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Continued

A loan is impaired when management determines that it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The amount of impairment, if any, and any subsequent changes are included in the allowance for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against net income. Loans determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance represents an amount, which, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb estimated probable losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. In order to determine an adequate level of allowance, management utilizes a model that calculates the allowance for loan loss by applying an average historical charge-off percentage by loan segment and over a 20 quarter period of time to the current loan balances in the corresponding loan segment. Additionally, specific reserves on an individual loan basis may be applied in addition to the allowance calculated using the model. This specific reserve is determined by an extensive review of the borrower’s credit history, capacity to pay, adequacy of collateral and general economic conditions related to the respective loan. This specific reserve will stay in place until such time that the borrower’s obligation is satisfied or the loan is greatly improved.

Large groups of small-balance homogenous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

Bank Premises, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

The Company’s premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed by straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to forty years. Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Other Real Estate Owned

Other real estate owned (“OREO”) consists of properties repossessed by the Company on foreclosed loans. These assets are stated at fair value at the date acquired less estimated costs to sell. Losses arising from the acquisition of such property are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Declines in value resulting from subsequent revaluation of the property or losses resulting from disposition of such property are expensed as incurred. Revenue and expenses from operations of other real estate owned are reflected as other income (expense).

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance

The Company has purchased life insurance contracts on certain employees and directors. Certain of such policies were acquired to fund deferred compensation arrangements with employees and directors. The cash surrender value of the Company owned policies is carried at the actual cash surrender value of the policy at the balance sheet date. Changes in the value of the policies are classified in non-interest income.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include core deposits purchased and goodwill. Core deposit intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives ranging from 5 to 10 years. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested at least annually for impairment. Fair values are determined based on market valuation multiples for the Company and comparable businesses based on the assets and cash flow of the Bank, the Company’s only reportable segment. If impairment has occurred, the goodwill or other intangible asset is reduced to its estimated fair value through a charge to expense.

Investment – Insurance Company

During 2010, the board of New South Life Insurance Company (“New South”) voted to liquidate the company and pay the investors their share of the business prior to the end of 2010. On December 29, 2010, the Company received a liquidation payment of $2,201,895 for 100% of its share of the business.

Prior to the liquidation, the Company accounted for its investment in New South using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s share of the net income of New South was recognized as income in the Company’s income statement and added to the investment account, and dividends received from New South were used to reduce the investment account. New South did not pay dividends during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The investment in New South, which is included in other assets, totaled $2,195,493 at December 31, 2009. Income from the investment, including the gain from liquidation in 2010, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 included in other income totaled $6,402 and $67,961, respectively.

Trust Assets

Assets held by the Trust Department of the Company in fiduciary or agency capacities are not assets of the Company and are not included in the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities, excluding components of other comprehensive income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net earnings reported in the consolidated statements of income and changes in unrealized gain (loss) on securities available-for-sale reported as a component of stockholders’ equity. Unrealized gain (loss) on securities available-for-sale, net of related income taxes, is the only component of accumulated other comprehensive income for the Company.

Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the periods, including the dilutive effect of the Company’s outstanding stock options. The effect of the dilutive shares for the years 2011, 2010 and 2009 is illustrated in the following table.

Stock-Based Compensation

At December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company had two stock-based compensation plans, which are the 1999 Employees’ Long-Term Incentive Plan, which expired in 2009 and the 1999 Directors’ Stock Compensation Plan. Compensation expense for the option grants is determined based on the estimated fair value of the stock options on the applicable grant date. Further, compensation expense is based on an estimate of the number of grants expected to vest and is recognized over the grants’ implied vesting period of 6 months and 1 day. The Company did not estimate any forfeitures for 2011, 2010 or 2009, due to the low historical forfeiture rate. Expense associated with the Company’s stock based compensation is included in salaries and benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payments to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” See Note 18 for further details regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to expense when incurred. Advertising expense was $730,496, $669,472 and $644,820 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase:

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amounts at which the securities were sold. Securities, generally U. S. Government, federal agency and state county municipal securities, pledged as collateral under these financing arrangements cannot be sold or re-pledged by the secured party.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2011, FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 310. The update clarifies which loan modifications constitute troubled debt restructurings and is intended to assist creditors in determining whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (a) the restructuring constitutes a concession; and (b) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. This update became effective for the Corporation on July 1, 2011, and applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2011. This update has not had a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial position, results of operations or stockholders’ equity.

In April 2011, FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 860 which is intended to improve financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. This update removes

Note 1. Continued

from the assessment of effective control (i) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (ii) the collateral maintenance guidance related to that criterion. This update will be effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2012 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 820 to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. This update clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles in Topic 820 and requires additional fair value disclosures. This update will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

In June 2011, FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 220 to require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, the update required entities to present, on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement or statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. However, this reclassification requirement was deferred by FASB in December 2011. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity was eliminated. Both updates are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and are not expected to have an impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

In September 2011, FASB issued an update to ASC Topic 350 to give entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. This update is effective for annual and interim impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation’s financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain information for 2009 and 2010 has been reclassified to conform to the financial presentation for 2011. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.

Other investments. The Company’s unrealized loss on other investments relates to state, county and municipal bonds and an investment in a pooled trust preferred security that have seen a decline in value. The decline in value of the state, county and municipal bonds is due to changes in interest rates, resulting in unrealized losses of $156,570 and $2,010,949 in 2011 and 2010, respectively. It is not expected that these securities would be settled at a price less than amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company does not intend to sell and it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not be required to sell these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

The decline in value of the pooled trust preferred security is related to the deterioration of the markets for these types of securities brought about by the lowered credit ratings and past deferrals and defaults of the underlying issuing financial institutions, resulting in unrealized losses of $1,064,167 and $1,208,785 in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company owns a senior tranche of this security and therefore has a higher degree of which future deferrals and defaults would be required before the cash flow for the Company’s tranche is negatively impacted. The Company does not intend to sell this security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell at a price less than amortized cost prior to maturity. Given these factors, the Company does not consider the investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities at December 31, 2011, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews these policies and procedures and submits them to the board of directors for their approval when needed, but no less frequently than annually. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and non-performing and potential problem loans. Diversification in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions.

The Company maintains an independent loan review department that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic basis. Results of this review are presented to management with quarterly reports made to the board of directors. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by the lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.

Loans are made principally to customers in the Company’s market. The Company’s lending policy provides that loans collateralized by real estate are normally made with loan-to-value ratios of 80 percent or less. Commercial loans are typically collateralized by property, equipment, inventories and/or receivables with loan-to-value ratios from 50 percent to 80 percent. Real estate mortgage loans are collateralized by personal residences with loan-to-value ratios of 80 percent or less. Consumer loans are typically collateralized by real estate, vehicles and other consumer durable goods. Approximately $50.1 million and $50.8 million of the loans outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, were variable rate loans.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has granted loans to certain directors and their affiliates (collectively referred to as “related parties”). These loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other unaffiliated persons and do not involve more than normal risk of collectability. Activity in related party loans during 2011 is presented in the following table.

Balance outstanding at December 31, 2010	$	1,292,376
Principal additions		617,474
Principal reductions		782,467
Balance outstanding at December 31, 2011	$	1,127,383

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 Company 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 filings 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.

Impaired loans as of December 31, by class of loans, are as follows (in thousands):

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 - These loans are 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 5. Continued

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 or 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.

Note 5. Continued

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 December 31, 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 12. Related Party Transactions

The Company had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, significant stockholders, principal officers, their immediate families, and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders (commonly referred to as related parties). In management’s opinion, such loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties, and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility at the time of the transaction.

Activity in related party loans is detailed in tabular form in Note 5 of the notes to the Financial Statements.

Deposits from related parties at December 31, 2011 and 2010 approximated $3,253,647 and $2,565,906, respectively.

Note 13. Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments, Commitments and Contingencies and Concentrations of Risks

Commitments to Extend Credit

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities to fulfill the financing needs of its customers. These commitments and contingent liabilities include commitments to extend credit and issue standby letters of credit. They involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, commitments related to unused lines of credit were $37,703,387 and $36,011,792, respectively, and standby letters of credit were $3,113,225 and $3,141,959, respectively. The fair value of such commitments is not materially different than stated values. As some of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company applies the same credit policies and standards as it does in the lending process when making these commitments. The collateral obtained is based upon the assessed credit worthiness of the borrower. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, crops, livestock, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is principally engaged in providing short-term and medium-term installment, commercial and agricultural loans with interest rates that are fixed or fluctuate with the prime lending rate. These assets are primarily funded through short-term demand deposits and long-term certificates of deposit with variable and fixed rates. Accordingly, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk because, in changing interest rate environments, interest rate adjustments on assets and liabilities may not occur at the same time or in the same amount. The Company manages the overall rate sensitivity and mix of its asset and liability portfolio and attempts to minimize the effects that interest rate fluctuations will have on its net interest margin.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is party to lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The lawsuits assert claims related to the general business activities of the Company. The cases are being vigorously contested. In the regular course of business, management evaluates estimated losses or costs related to litigation, and provision is made for anticipated losses whenever management believes that such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. While management believes that the final resolution of pending legal proceedings will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, the final resolution of such proceedings could have a material adverse effect.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 13. Continued

Concentration of Risk

The Company makes agricultural, agribusiness, commercial, residential and consumer loans primarily in eastern central Mississippi. A substantial portion of the customers’ abilities to honor their contracts is dependent on their business and the agricultural economy in the area.

Although the Company’s loan portfolio is diversified, there is a relationship in this region between the agricultural economy and the economic performance of loans made to nonagricultural customers. The Company’s lending policies for agricultural and nonagricultural customers require loans to be well-collateralized and supported by cash flows. Collateral for agricultural loans includes equipment, crops, livestock, and land. Credit losses from loans related to the agricultural economy are consistent with credit losses experienced in the portfolio as a whole. The concentration of credit in the regional agricultural economy is taken into consideration by management in determining the allowance for loan losses. See Note 5 for a summary of loans by type.

Note 14. Lease Commitment and Total Rental Expense

The Company has operating leases under noncancellable operating lease agreements for banking facilities and equipment. Future minimum rental payments due under the leases are as follows:

Years Ending December 31,	Amounts
2012	$	233,208
2013		178,301
2014		80,376
2015		54,792
2016		54,792
	$	601,469

The total rental expense included in the income statements for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is $145,207, $191,717 and $181,148, respectively.

Note 15. Benefit Plans

The Company provides its employees with a profit sharing and savings plan, which allows employees to direct a percentage of their compensation into a tax deferred retirement account, subject to statutory limitations. To encourage participation, the Company provides a 100 percent matching contribution for up to 6 percent of each participant’s compensation, plus discretionary non-matching contributions. Employees are eligible after one year of service. For 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s contributions were $786,824, $728,650 and $672,397, respectively.

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company provides a deferred compensation plan covering its directors. Participants in the deferred compensation plan can defer a portion of their compensation for payment after attaining age 70. Life insurance contracts have been purchased which may be used to fund payments under the plan. Net expenses related to this plan were $75,327, $81,478 and $95,445 for the plan years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company has also entered into deferred compensation arrangements with certain officers that provide for payments to such officers or their survivors after retirement. Life insurance policies have been purchased which may be used to fund payments under these arrangements. The obligations of the Company under both the directors and officers deferred compensation arrangements are expensed on a systematic basis over the remaining expected service period of the individual directors and officers.

Note 16. Regulatory Matters

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material affect on the Company.

Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification under the prompt corrective action guidelines are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations) and Tier I capital to average assets (as defined in the regulations). Management believes, as of December 31, 2011, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Note 17. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Under the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions about risk and or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the three following categories:

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 fair value estimates, methods and assumptions used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments were:

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 is considered to be three months or less at the time of purchase.

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 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 which include obligations of U. S. Government agencies and corporations, mortgage-backed securities and state, county and municipal bonds. Level 3 securities consist of a pooled trust preferred security.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 Company’s tranche is negatively impacted, that no other-than-temporary impairment exists.

The Company 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.

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.

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’s 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 and 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.

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.

After monitoring the carrying amounts for subsequent declines or impairment after foreclosure, management determined that a fair value adjustment to OREO in the amount of $265,876 and $537,429 was necessary and was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Federal Funds Sold and Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

Due to the short term nature of these instruments, the carrying amount is equal to the fair value.

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 similar deposits to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings

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

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.

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

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of

December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

OVERVIEW

The following information discusses the financial condition and results of operations of Citizens Holding Company (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. In this discussion, all references to the activities, operations or financial performance of the Company reflect the Company’s activities, operations and financial performance through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia, Mississippi (the “Bank”), unless otherwise specifically noted.

Over the past three years, the Company has experienced growth in total assets and deposits as management has capitalized on opportunities for organic growth within our market area and the addition of a loan production office in 2009 and a branch in 2011. Total assets increased over the three-year period by $87.9 million or 11.5%. In the three-year period, earnings decreased in 2009 and increased in 2010 and 2011. Although the cost of deposits decreased in 2010, the interest received on earning assets decreased at a faster rate and the net interest margin decreased that year before rebounding to 2009 levels by the end of 2011. Loan loss provisions in 2011 continued to be relatively high, however, with decreased interest expense net income increased slightly in 2011. Regardless of the fluctuation in the interest margins, management believes it has made appropriate provisions for loan losses.

During 2011, the Company’s assets increased by $35,712,722, or 4.4%, from 2010, loans decreased by $32,916,191, or 7.9% and deposits increased by $34,908,413, or 6.5%. Loans decreased in 2011 due to the downturn in national and local economies and the weak loan demand that resulted from the recession. Certificates of deposit ended 2011 at $240,980,983, or 0.4% lower than 2010. Demand, NOW, savings and money market accounts increased $33,928,766, or 11.4%, to $331,357,152 at December 31, 2011.

During 2010, the Company’s assets declined by $21,771,096, or 2.6%, from 2009, loans decreased by $26,197,842, or 5.9% and deposits decreased by $32,372,862, or 5.7%. Loans decreased in 2010 due to the downturn in national and local economies and the weak loan demand that resulted from the recession. Deposit accounts decreased by $32,372,862, or 5.7% during 2010. Certificates of deposit ended 2010 at $240,001,335, or 9.2% lower than 2009. Demand, NOW, savings and money market accounts decreased $8,125,969, or 2.7%, to $297,428,387 at December 31, 2010.

During 2009, the Company’s assets grew by $73,956,496, or 9.7%, from 2008, loans increased by $17,468,891, or 4.1% and deposits increased by $23,875,163, or 4.4%. Loans increased in 2009 partially due to the entrance into new markets through the opening of five new branches since the fourth quarter of 2007 and the opening of a loan production office in Biloxi, Mississippi in 2009. Deposit accounts increased by $23,875,163, or 4.4% during 2009. Certificates of deposit ended 2009 at $264,248,229, or 1.0%, lower than 2008. Demand, NOW, savings and money market accounts increased $26,568,066, or 9.5%, to $305,554,356 at December 31, 2009.

57

In 2011, the Company’s net income after taxes increased to $7,217,847, an increase of $55,316 over 2010. The decrease in the rates paid on deposits being greater than the decrease in rates on earning assets was offset by the increase in the provision for loan losses and other operating expenses causing earnings to increase slightly. Net income for 2011 produced, on a fully diluted basis, earnings per share of $1.49 compared to $1.48 in 2010 and $1.45 for 2009.

In 2010, the Company’s net income after taxes increased to $7,162,531, an increase of $23,557 over 2009. The decrease in the rates paid on deposits and the decrease in the provision for loan losses and other operating expenses was offset by the decrease in rates on earning assets and caused earnings to increase only slightly.

In 2009, the Company’s net income after taxes decreased to $7,138,974, a decrease of $1,134,792 over 2008. The decrease in the rates paid on deposits being greater than the decrease in rates on earning assets was not enough to offset the increase in the provision for loan losses and other operating expenses.

The Company’s Return on Average Assets (“ROA”) was 0.87% in 2011, compared to 0.85% in 2010 and 0.88% in 2009. The Company’s Return on Average Equity (“ROE”) was 8.78% in 2011, 9.09% in 2010 and 9.58% in 2009. During these periods, leverage capital ratios (the ratio of equity to average total assets) increased from 8.72% in 2009 to 9.01% in 2010 and increased again to 9.47% in 2011. The ROE in 2011, 2010 and 2009 is a function of the level of net income during those years. The changes in ROA were also a result of the Company’s income decreasing in 2009, increasing in 2010 and 2011 and also affected by the increase in total assets during these time periods. The Company set the annual dividend payout rate to approximately 59.06% of 2011 earnings per share, as compared to 57.43% in 2010 and 55.10% in 2009. The leverage capital ratio of 9.47% in 2011 remains well above the regulatory requirement of 5% to be considered “well capitalized” under applicable Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) guidelines for the Bank.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The accounting policy most important to the presentation of our financial statements relates to the allowance for loan loss and the related provision for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. The appropriate level of the allowance is based on a monthly analysis of the loan portfolio and represents an amount that management deems adequate to provide for inherent losses, including collective impairment as recognized under ASC Subtopic 450-20, Loss Contingencies. The collective impairment is calculated based on loans grouped by similar risk characteristics. Another component of the allowance is losses on loans assessed as impaired under ASC Subtopic 310-10, Loan Impairments. The balance of these loans determined to be impaired under ASC Subtopic 310-10 and their related allowance is included in management’s estimation and

58

analysis of the allowance for loan losses. For a discussion of other considerations in establishing the allowance for loan losses and our loan policies and procedures for addressing credit risk, please refer to the disclosures in this Item under the heading “Provision for Loan Losses and Asset Quality.”

The Company recognizes stock compensation expenses in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Generally, all options granted to employees and directors fully vest six months and one day after the date of grant, rather than vesting in tranches over a specified period. Given the limited historical amount of forfeited options, the Company has not reduced compensation expense for estimated forfeitures.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of stock options. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of certain assumptions, including the volatility of the Company’s stock price, the expected life of the option, the expected dividend rate and the discount rate. The Company does not currently expect to change the model or its methods for determining the assumptions underlying the valuation of future stock option grants. For more information on the Company’s stock options and the assumptions used to calculate the expense of such options, please refer to Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” and Note 18, “Stock Options” to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.

Please refer to Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included in this Annual Report for a detailed discussion of our other significant accounting policies affecting the Company.

NET OPERATING INCOME

Net operating income for 2011 increased by 0.3% to $7,217,847, or $1.49 per share-basic and diluted, from the $7,162,531, or $1.48 per share basic and diluted for 2010. The provision for loan losses for 2011 was $2,995,426 compared to the provision of $2,455,790 in 2010. The increase in the loan loss provision for 2011 was mainly due to management’s assessment of inherent losses in the loan portfolio including the impact caused by current local and national economic conditions. Non-interest income increased by $33,813, or 0.5%, and non-interest expense increased by $1,123,880 or 4.5%, in 2011. Non-interest income for 2011 increased primarily due to normal growth in other service charges. Non-interest expense increased due to an increase in equipment expenses and increases in salaries and benefits. The increase in salaries and benefits is related to our new staffing for branching and credit administration and normal raises for our existing officers and employees.

Net operating income for 2010 increased by 0.3% to $7,162,531, or $1.48 per share-basic and diluted, from the $7,138,974, or $1.47 per share basic and $1.45 per share diluted for 2009. The provision for loan losses for 2010 was $2,455,790 compared to the provision of $3,013,455 in 2009. The decrease in the loan loss provision for 2010 was mainly due to management’s assessment of inherent losses in the loan portfolio including the impact caused by current local and national economic conditions along with a decrease in loans outstanding. Non-interest income decreased by $649,066, or 8.1%, and non-interest expense decreased by $707,570 or 2.7%, in 2010. Non-interest income for 2010 decreased primarily due to a nonrecurring gain in 2009 from the sale of a parcel of surplus bank property in the amount of $855,537. Non-interest expense decreased mainly due to decrease in occupancy and other operating expenses offset by an increase in salaries and benefits. The increase in salaries and benefits is related to our new staffing for branching and credit administration and normal raises for our existing officers and employees.

Net operating income for 2009 decreased by 13.7% to $7,138,974, or $1.47 per share-basic and $1.45 per share-diluted, from the $8,273,767, or $1.70 per share basic and $1.69 per share diluted for 2008. The provision for loan losses for 2009 was $3,013,455 compared to the provision of $1,223,939 in 2008. The increase in the loan loss provision for 2009 was mainly

62

due to management’s assessment of inherent losses in the loan portfolio including the impact caused by current local and national economic conditions along with an increase in loans outstanding. Non-interest income increased by $194,573, or 2.5%, and non-interest expense increased by $3,968,264, or 18.2%, in 2009. Non-interest income for 2009 increased due to normal increases in fees and other service charges and an increase in gains on the sale of investment securities in the amount of $565,002. Non-interest expense increased mainly due to an increase in salaries and benefits and a $901,430 increase in FDIC and state assessment expense. The increase in salaries and benefits is related to our new branches in Lauderdale, Oktibbeha and Lamar counties, our new loan production office in Biloxi and normal raises for our existing officers and employees. The increase in FDIC and state assessment includes a $373,125 special assessment paid in June 2009.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income is the most significant component of the Company’s earnings. Net interest income is the difference between interest and fees realized on earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and interest paid on deposits and other borrowed funds. The net interest margin is this difference expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. Net interest income is affected by several factors, including the volume of earning assets and liabilities, the mix of earning assets and liabilities, and interest rates. The discussion below is presented on a tax equivalent basis which management believes to be the best way to analyze net interest income.

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $31,563,000, $30,719,000 and $30,808,000 for the years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Net interest margin was 4.20%, 4.04% and 4.20% for the same periods. During 2011, the yields on interest earning assets declined more than the rates paid on interest bearing deposits with the largest decrease occurring in the rates paid on certificates of deposit. In 2011, the rates paid on deposits decreased faster than the decrease in the rates on earning assets. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the average yield on earnings assets was 5.08%, a decrease of 9 basis points compared to the average yield at December 31, 2010. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.03%, a decrease of 27 basis points compared to the average rate at December 31, 2010. The volume of earning assets decreased 1.3% while the volume of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 3.3% in 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, the average yield on earnings assets was 5.17%, a decrease of 56 basis points compared to the average yield at December 31, 2009. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.31%, a decrease of 46 basis points compared to the average rate at December 31, 2009. The volume of earning assets increased 3.8% while the volume of interest-bearing liabilities increased 3.7% in 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, the average yield on earnings assets was 5.73%, a decrease of 82 basis points compared to the average yield at December 31, 2008. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.76%, a decrease of 75 basis points compared to the average rate at December 31, 2008. The volume of earning assets increased 18.9% while the volume of interest-bearing liabilities increased 21.5% in 2009.

63

During this three-year period, loan demand was steady in 2009 and weak in 2010 and 2011. Loans generally provide the Company with yields that are greater than the yields on typical investment securities.

During 2003, the Company purchased $11.4 million of additional bank-owned life insurance. The income received by the Company on these policies increased the Company’s total investment to approximately $18.8 million at December 31, 2009, $19.5 million at December 31, 2010 and $20.4 million at December 2011. The additional purchases were made to provide a future funding source for certain of the Company’s deferred compensation arrangements. Such insurance also offers more attractive yields than other investment securities.

Table 2 – Average Balance Sheets and Interest Rates sets forth average balance sheet data, including all major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, together with the interest earned or interest paid and the average yield or average rate paid on each such category for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

LOANS

The loan portfolio constitutes the major earning asset of the Company and, in the opinion of management, offers the best alternative for maximizing net interest margin. The Company’s loan personnel have the authority to extend credit under guidelines established and approved by the Board of Directors. Any aggregate credit that exceeds the authority of the loan officer is forwarded to the Board’s loan committee for approval. The loan committee is composed of certain directors, including the Chairman of the Board of Directors. All aggregate credits that exceed the loan committee’s lending authority are presented to the full Board of Directors for ultimate approval or denial. The loan committee not only acts as an approval body to ensure consistent application of the Company’s loan policy but also provides valuable insight through communication and pooling of knowledge, judgment, and experience of its members.

The Company has stated in its loan policy the following objectives for its loan portfolio:

• to make loans after sound and thorough credit analysis;

• to properly document all loans;

• to eliminate loans from the portfolio that are under-priced, high risk or difficult and costly to administer;

• to seek good relationships with the customer;

• to avoid undue concentrations of loans; and

• to keep non-accrual loans to a minimum by aggressive collection policies.

Loan demand in the Company’s market over the past three years increased in 2009 before declining in 2010 and 2011. The Company’s loan balances increased in 2009 due in large part to the expansion into several new markets and the increased presence in the Meridian market and the addition of the Biloxi loan production office. The change in loan demand experienced in 2010 and 2011 was due to a lack of growth in the market area served by the Company, poor overall economic conditions and increased competition from other financial institutions for the available loans. The impact on the housing market caused by the opening of a casino on the nearby Choctaw Indian Reservation in 1995 is beginning to show less of an impact in the area. Real estate mortgage loans originated by the Company decreased by 6.7%, or $9,639,327 in 2011, increased by 3.1%, or $4,269,248, in 2010 and by 1.4%, or $1,947,501, in 2009 compared to the prior year. The decrease in mortgage loans in 2011 and 2010 reflects the weakness in the national and local housing markets after seeing normal growth in the previous years.

Commercial and agricultural loans decreased by $11,625,283, or 5.4% in 2011, $9,028,019 or 4.0% in 2010 and increased by $15,898,110, or 7.6% in 2009. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans are the largest segment of the loan portfolio and, by nature, bear a

67

higher degree of risk. Management believes the lending practices, policies and procedures applicable to this loan category are adequate to manage any risk represented by the growth of the loans in this category.

Consumer loans declined by $3,010,288, or 7.6% in 2011, $9,901,647, or 20.1% in 2010 and declined by $5,320,314, or 9.7% in 2009, compared to the prior year. The Company believes that changes in consumer purchasing habits and the increase in loan sources have affected the growth of this segment of loans.

Table 5 – Loans Outstanding reflects outstanding balances by loan type for the past five years. Additional loan information is presented in Note 5, “Loans,” to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.

Each loan the Company makes either has a stated maturity as to when the loan is to be repaid or is subject to an agreement between the Company and the customer governing its progressive reduction. The Company’s policy is that every loan is to be repaid by its stated maturity and not carried as a continuing debt. Generally, the Company requires that principal reductions on a loan must have begun prior to the second renewal date of the loan.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND ASSET QUALITY

The allowance for loan losses represents an amount that in management’s judgment will be adequate to absorb estimated probable losses within the existing loan portfolio. Loans that management determines to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of specific loans and prior loss experience. Other factors considered by management include specific economic events, general economic conditions and trends, and loan portfolio mix and growth. The allowance for loan losses is subject to close regulatory review from the FDIC and the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance and is also a factor in each agency’s determination of our capital adequacy. The estimation of losses in our loan portfolio is susceptible to changes resulting from changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers and economic conditions in the Company’s market area.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against net income. This expense is determined by a number of factors, including historical loan losses, assessment of specific credit weaknesses within the portfolio, assessment of the prevailing economic climate, and other factors that may affect the overall condition of the loan portfolio. Management utilized these factors to determine the provision for loan losses for each of 2009, 2010 and 2011. The ratio of net loans charged off to average loans was 0.66% in 2011, 0.37% in 2010 and 0.45% in 2009. The chargeoffs in 2009, 2010 and 2011 reflect the weakness of the economy and the continuing local and national high unemployment. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss on a monthly basis and makes adjustments to the allowance based on this analysis.

The provision for loan losses in 2011 was $2,995,426 compared to $2,455,790 in 2010 and $3,013,455 in 2009. The increase in the provision for 2011 was mainly due to management’s assessment of inherent losses in the loan portfolio including the impact caused by current local and national economic conditions. The Company uses a model that takes into account historical charge-offs and recoveries and applies that to certain loan segments of our portfolio. At the end of 2011, the total allowance for loan losses was $6,681,412, an amount that management believes to be sufficient to cover estimated probable losses in the loan portfolio.

69

Activity in the allowance for loan losses is reflected in Table 7 – Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company’s policy is to charge-off loans when in management’s opinion the loan is deemed uncollectible. Even after it is charged off, however, the Company makes concerted efforts to maximize recovery of such loan.

Loan balances outstanding, as illustrated in Table 5, increased in 2009 before declining in 2010 and 2011, as the Company’s credit standards have tightened, loan demand has weakened and the competition for loans has increased. The highest percentage decrease occurred in the construction real estate category, primarily on account of the lack of demand in this market segment and the desire to limit its exposure in that category. The allowance for loan losses is allocated to the various categories based on the historical loss percentage for each segment of loan and any specific reserves that might be assigned to those loans.

Non-performing assets and the relative percentages of such assets to loan balances are presented in Table 8 – Non-performing Assets. Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans, loans delinquent 90 days or more based on contractual terms and troubled debt restructurings. Management classifies loans as non-accrual when it believes that collection of interest is doubtful. This typically occurs when payments are past due over 90 days, unless the loans are well secured and in the process of collection. Another measurement of asset quality is other real estate owned (OREO), which represents properties acquired by the Company through foreclosure following loan defaults by customers. The percentage of OREO to total loans at December 31, 2011 was 1.27% compared to 0.74% in 2010. OREO increased in 2011 after decreasing in 2010 due to a larger amount of foreclosures in 2011 and the sale of several parcels that were acquired in foreclosure and a write-down of several parcels to fair market value during 2010.

Loans on non-accrual status amounted to $11,299,060 in 2011 as compared to $10,931,669 in 2010 and $9,794,154 in 2009. Interest income forgone on loans classified as

71

non-accrual in 2011 was $673,858 as compared to $614,511 in 2010 and $139,373 in 2009. Upon the classification of a loan as non-accrual, all interest accrued on the loan prior to the time it is classified as non-accrual is reversed and interest accruals are suspended until such time that the loan is in compliance with its terms and deemed collectable.

ASC Subtopic 310-10, Loan Impairments outlines the guidance for evaluating impaired loans. These statements changed the methods of estimating the loan loss allowance for problem loans. In general, when management determines that principal and interest due under the contractual terms of a loan are not fully collectible, management must value the loan using discounted future expected cash flows. Management considers the Company’s nonaccrual loans as being impaired under ASC Subtopic 310-10. The balances of impaired (including non-accruals) loans for the years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $11,398,698, $11,512,534 and $9,899,113, respectively.

Management monitors any loans that are classified under FDIC regulations as loss, doubtful or substandard, even if management has not classified the loans as non-performing or impaired. In addition to loans classified for regulatory purposes, management also designates certain loans for internal monitoring purposes in a “watch” category. Loans may be placed on management’s watch list as a result of delinquent status, management’s concern about the borrower’s financial condition or the value of the collateral securing the loan, a substandard classification during regulatory examinations, or simply as a result of management’s desire to monitor more closely a borrower’s financial condition and performance. Watch category loans may include loans that are still performing and accruing interest and may be current under the terms of the loan agreement but which management has a significant degree of concern about the borrowers’ ability to continue to perform according to the terms of the loan agreement. Watch category loans may also include loans, which, although adequately secured and performing, reflect a past delinquency problem or unfavorable financial trends exhibited by the borrower. Loss exposure on these loans is typically evaluated based primarily upon the estimated liquidation value of the collateral securing the loan.

At December 31, 2011, loans totaling $43,168,567 were included on the Company’s watch list compared to $31,586,067 at December 31, 2010. The majority of these loans are real estate loans that, although adequately collateralized, have experienced frequent delinquencies in scheduled payments. The inclusion of loans on this list does not indicate a greater risk of loss; rather it indicates that the loan possesses one of the several characteristics described above warranting increased oversight by management. During 2011, additional loans were added to the watch list due to the uncertainties in the current economic conditions.

SECURITIES

At December 31, 2011, the Company classified all of its securities as available-for-sale. Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included as a separate component of equity, net of tax. The Company does not hold any securities classified as held to maturity or held for trading purposes.

Table 9 – Securities and Securities Maturity Schedule summarizes the carrying value of securities from 2009 through 2011 and the maturity distribution at December 31, 2011, by classification.

(1) The maturities for the mortgage backed securities included in this line item are based on final maturity.

(2) Average rates were calculated on tax equivalent basis using a marginal federal income tax rate of 34% and a state tax rate of 5%.

The change in the carrying value of the available-for-sale portfolio is due to market value fluctuations resulting from the changing interest rate environment during 2011. This change is not used in the Tier 1 capital calculation.

The above table shows an increase in U. S. Government Agencies securities and a decrease in State, County and Municipal and the other securities classifications. The increases were due to the Company’s effort to increase yields while maintaining credit quality and to purchase securities for our commercial repurchase agreement program with certain customers. As a result of this commercial repurchase agreement program, the Company increased its margin on the balances in this program. The Company strives to maximize the yields on its portfolio while balancing pledging needs and managing risk. The Company seeks to invest most of it funds not needed for loan demand in higher yielding securities and not in the lower yielding federal funds sold.

74

DEPOSITS

The Company offers a wide variety of deposit services to individual and commercial customers, such as non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, money market deposit accounts and time deposits. The deposit base is the Company’s major funding source for earning assets. Time deposits decreased in 2010 and 2011 due to the pricing strategy of the Company to manage liquidity needs. During this time, all other segments of deposits increased.

A three-year schedule of average deposits by type and maturities of time deposits greater than $100,000 is presented in Table 10 – Deposit Information.

The Company, in its normal course of business, will acquire large time deposits, generally from public entities, with a variety of maturities. These funds are acquired on a bid basis and are considered to be part of the deposit base of the Company.

75

BORROWINGS

Aside from the core deposit base and large denomination time deposits mentioned above, the remaining funding sources utilized by the Company include short-term and long-term borrowings. Short-term borrowings consist of Federal Funds Purchased from other financial institutions on an overnight basis, short-term advances from the FHLB and securities sold under agreement to repurchase. Long-term borrowings are advances from the FHLB with an initial maturity of greater than one year.

The Company borrows funds for short periods from the FHLB as an alternative to Federal Funds Purchased. The Company foresees short-term borrowings to be a continued source of liquidity and likely will continue to use these borrowings as a method to fund short-term needs. At December 31, 2011, the Company had the capacity to borrow up to $232,473,758 from the FHLB and other financial institutions in the form of Federal Funds Purchased. The Company generally will use these types of borrowings if loan demand is greater than the growth in deposits. In 2011, the Company decreased its borrowings from the FHLB by $15,900,000 and decreased its Federal Funds Purchased by $2,500,000. In 2010, the Company increased its borrowing $10,000,000 from the FHLB and increased it Federal Funds Purchased $2,500,000. In 2011, the balances in Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase increased $9,736,996, or 8.8%. In 2010, these balances decreased to $110,483,437, a decrease of $4,269,573, or 3.7%.

At the end of 2011, the Company had long-term debt in the amount of $68,500,000 to the FHLB for advances and $176,835 payable to the State of Mississippi for advances under the Mississippi Agribusiness Enterprise Loan Program. This program provides interest-free loans to banks to fund loans to qualifying farmers. Farmers that qualify for the program receive 20% of their loan at zero interest. When the loan is repaid, the State of Mississippi receives 20% of the principal payment, which is equal to the amount advanced by the state, and the Company retains the balance of the principal payment. The remaining maturity schedule of the long-term debt at December 31, 2011 is listed below.

TOTAL NON-INTEREST EXPENSE	$	26,244		4.47	%	$	25,120		-2.74	%	$	25,827

Non-interest income typically consists of service charges on checking accounts, including debit card fees, and other financial services. With continued pressure on interest rates, the Company has sought to increase its non-interest income through the expansion of fee income and the development of new services. Currently, the Company’s main sources of non-interest income are service charges on checking accounts, safe deposit box rentals, credit life insurance premiums and title insurance service fees.

During 2011, non-interest income increased by $33,813, or 0.45%, when compared to 2010. An increase in other income and proceeds from gains on sales of investment securities offset a decrease in service charge income from checking accounts.

During 2010, non-interest income decreased by $649,066, or 8.05%, when compared to 2009. An increase in service charge income from checking accounts and proceeds from gains on sales of investment securities offset a decrease in other income that resulted from the one time receipt of proceeds in 2009 from the sale of a parcel of surplus bank property in the amount of $855,537.

77

During 2009, non-interest income increased by $194,573, or 2.5%, when compared to 2008. An increase in service charge income from checking accounts and proceeds from gains on sales of investment securities offset a decrease in other income that resulted from the one time receipt of insurance proceeds on the death of a bank officer in 2008.

Non-interest expenses consist of salaries and benefits, occupancy expense and other overhead expenses incurred by the Company in the transaction of its business. In 2011, non-interest expense increased by $1,123,880, or 4.47%, to $26,243,620. Included in this was an increase in salaries and benefits in the amount of $276,148, or 2.0% and an increase in occupancy expense in the amount of $504,188, or 13.3%. The increase in occupancy expense is in part related to the opening of the new branch building in Hattiesburg.

In 2010, non-interest expense decreased by $707,570, or 2.74%, to $25,119,740. Included in this was an increase in salaries and benefits in the amount of $522,549, or 3.9% and a decrease in occupancy expense in the amount of $378,344, or 9.1%.

In 2009, non-interest expense increased by $3,968,264, or 18.2%, to $25,827,310. Included in this was an increase in salaries and benefits in the amount of $1,203,696, or 10.0% and an increase in FDIC and state assessments in the amount of $901,430, or 698.0%. Included in the FDIC assessments was a special assessment of $373,125 paid in June of 2009.

In 2011, the Company’s efficiency ratio was 68.51%, compared to 65.52% in 2010 and 66.48% in 2009. The efficiency ratio is calculated to measure the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income, on a fully tax equivalent basis, and non-interest income. The overall increase in the efficiency ratio over the past three years reflects increases in non-interest expense associated with managing the growth in assets during the period.

INCOME TAXES

The Company records a provision for income taxes currently payable, along with a provision for deferred taxes to be realized in the future. Such deferred taxes arise from differences in timing of certain items for financial statement reporting rather than income tax reporting. The deferred tax amount of $1,124,069 is considered realizable without the use of extraordinary tax planning strategies.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 15.43%, 22.53% and 18.60% in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The major difference between the effective tax rate applied to the Company’s financial statement income and the federal statutory rate of 34% is interest on tax-exempt securities and loans. In 2010, the Company incurred taxes on the gain from the liquidation of an unconsolidated subsidiary. Further tax information is disclosed in Note 10, “Income Taxes” to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.

78

LIQUIDITY AND RATE SENSITIVITY

Liquidity management is the process by which the Company ensures that adequate liquid funds are available to meet its financial commitments on a timely basis. These commitments include honoring withdrawals by depositors, funding credit obligations to borrowers, servicing long-term obligations, making shareholder dividend payments, paying operating expenses, funding capital expenditures and maintaining reserve requirements.

The Company’s predominant sources of funding include: core deposits (consisting of both commercial and individual deposits); proceeds from maturities of securities; repayments of loan principal and interest; Federal Funds Purchased; and short-term and long-term borrowing from the FHLB. In 2011, the Company experienced an increase in deposits and a decrease in loans outstanding. Due in large part to the decrease in loan demand and the increase in deposits, the balances in investment securities increased. Also in 2011, the Company decreased its balances in FHLB advances by $15,900,000. The Company relies upon non-core sources of funding, such as Federal Funds Purchased and short and long term borrowings from the FHLB, when deposit growth is not adequate to meet its short term needs. While the strategy of using these wholesale funding sources is adequate to cover liquidity deficiencies in the short term, the Company’s goal is to increase core deposits as a source of long term funding. Management does not intend to rely on borrowings from the FHLB as the first choice as a source of funds but prefers to increase core deposits through increased competition for available deposits. Management believes that core deposits can be increased by offering more competitive rates and superior service to our customers.

The deposit base is diversified between individual and commercial accounts, which the Company believes helps it avoid dependence on large concentrations of funds. The Company does not solicit certificates of deposit from brokers. The primary sources of liquidity on the asset side of the balance sheet are federal funds sold and securities classified as available-for-sale. The entire investment securities portfolio is classified in the available-for-sale category, and is available to be sold, should liquidity needs arise. Management, through its Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), and the Board review the Company’s liquidity position on a monthly basis. At December 31, 2011, both the ALCO and the Board of Directors determined that the Company’s liquidity position was adequate.

Table 13 – Funding Uses and Sources details the main components of cash flows for 2011 and 2010.

The Company’s liquidity depends substantially on the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends. The information under the heading “Market Price and Dividend Information” in this Annual Report discusses federal and state statutory and regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital guidelines as required by federal and state banking agencies. These guidelines define the various components of core capital and assign risk weights to various categories of assets.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) required federal regulatory agencies to define capital tiers. These tiers are: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Under FDICIA, a “well-capitalized” institution must achieve a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.00%, a total capital ratio of at least 10.00%, a leverage ratio of at

80

least 5.00% and not be under a capital directive order. These ratios generally measure the percentage of a bank’s capital to all or certain categories of assets. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. If a bank is only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required before the bank may accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions, asset growth, and expansion are limited, and the institution is required to submit a capital restoration plan.

During 2011, total capital increased primarily due to earnings that were in excess of dividends. The Company’s stock repurchase program was terminated in April 2010. During 2010, this plan purchased 16,126 shares at a total cost of $366,381.

Management believes the Company and the Bank meet all the capital requirements to be well-capitalized under the guidelines established by FDICIA as of December 31, 2011, as noted below in Table 14—Capital Ratios. To be classified as well-capitalized, the Company and Bank must maintain the ratios described above.

Management’s strategy with respect to capital levels is to maintain a sufficient amount of capital to allow the Company to respond to growth and acquisition opportunities in our service area. Over the past three years, the Company has been able to increase the amount of its capital, through retention of earnings, while still increasing the dividend payout ratio to approximately 59.1% of earnings per share. The Company does not currently have any commitments for capital expenditures that would require the Company to raise additional capital by means other than retained earnings. The Company does not plan to change this strategy unless needed to support future acquisition activity.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities to fulfill the financing needs of its customers. These commitments and contingent liabilities include commitments to extend credit and issue standby letters of credit. These off-balance sheet arrangements are further detailed in Note 13, “Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments, Commitments and Contingencies and Concentrations of Risks,” in the notes to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The following table summarizes the contractual obligations of the Company as of December 31, 2011. (in thousands)

	Payments Due by Period (in thousands)
Contractual Obligations	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 Years		3 - 5 Years		Over 5 Years
Long Term Debt	$	68,500	$	—	$	48,500	$	—	$	20,000

Total	$	69,279	$	248	$	48,807	$	224	$	20,000

Long-term debt obligations represent borrowings from the FHLB that have an original maturity in excess of one (1) year. Operating leases are primarily for a lease on one of the Bank’s branches and other leases for mailing equipment. The branch lease is for 60 months and the equipment leases are for various terms. The other long-term liabilities are those obligations of the Company under the Agribusiness Enterprise Loan Program of the State of Mississippi.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

OVERVIEW

The definition of market risk is the possibility of loss that could result from adverse changes in market prices or interest rates. The Company has taken steps to assess the amount of risk that is associated with its asset and liability structure. The Company measures the potential risk on a regular basis and makes changes to its strategies to manage these risks. The Board of Directors reviews important policy limits each month, with a more detailed risk analysis completed on a quarterly basis. These measurement tools are important in allowing the Company to manage market risk and to plan effective strategies to respond to any adverse changes in risk. The Company does not participate in some of the financial instruments that are inherently subject to substantial market risk. All of the financial instruments entered into by the Company are for purposes other than trading.

83

MARKET/INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

Interest rate risk is the primary market risk that management must address. Interest rate risk is the exposure of Company earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. All financial institutions assume interest rate risk as an integral part of normal operations.

The primary purpose in managing interest rate risk is to effectively invest capital and preserve the value created by the core banking business of the Company. The Company utilizes an investment portfolio to manage the interest rate risk naturally created through its business activities. The process of managing interest rate risk generally involves both reducing the exposure of the Company’s net interest margin to swings in interest rates and concurrently ensuring that there is sufficient capital and liquidity to support balance sheet growth. The Company uses a quarterly interest rate risk report to evaluate its exposure to interest rate risk, project earnings and manage the composition of the balance sheet and its growth.

In addition to the quarterly interest rate risk report, the Company employs a number of tools to measure interest rate risk. One tool is static gap analysis, which matches assets with specified maturities to liabilities with corresponding maturities. Although management believes that this does not provide a complete picture of the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk, it does highlight significant short-term repricing volume mismatches. The following table presents the Company’s rate sensitivity static gap analysis at December 31, 2011 ($ in thousands):

	Interest Sensitive Within
	90 days			One year
Total rate sensitive assets	$	169,310		$	186,298
Total rate sensitive liabilities		395,896			151,347
Net gap	$	(226,586	)	$	34,951

The analysis shows a negative gap position over the next three-month period, which indicates that the Company would benefit somewhat from a decrease in market interest rates in the very short term. Although rate increases would be detrimental to the interest rate risk of the Company, management believes there is adequate flexibility to alter the overall rate sensitivity structure as necessary to minimize exposure to these changes.

Management believes that static gap analysis does not fully capture the impact of interest rate movements on interest sensitive assets and liabilities. Thus, the Company also measures interest rate risk by analyzing interest rate sensitivity and the rate sensitivity gap. Table 15 - Interest Rate Sensitivity provides additional information about the financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. This tabular disclosure is limited by its failure to depict accurately the effect on assumptions of significant changes in the economy or interest rates or

84

changes in management’s expectations or intentions relating to the Company’s financial statements. The information in the interest rate sensitivity table below reflects contractual interest rate pricing dates and contractual maturity dates. For indeterminate maturity deposit products (money market, NOW and savings accounts), the tables present principal cash flows in the shortest term. Although these deposits may not reprice within this time frame, the depositors of such funds have the ability to reprice. Weighted average floating rates are based on the rate for that product as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Rate sensitivity gap analysis is another tool management uses to measure interest rate risk. The rate sensitivity gap is the difference between the repricing of interest-earning assets and the repricing of interest-bearing liabilities within certain defined time frames. The Company’s interest rate sensitivity position is influenced by the distribution of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities among the maturity categories. Table 16—Rate Sensitivity Gap reflects interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by maturity distribution as of December 31, 2011. Product lines repricing in time periods predetermined by contractual agreements are included in the respective maturity categories.

The purpose of the above table is to measure interest rate risk utilizing the repricing intervals of interest sensitive assets and liabilities. Rate sensitive gaps constantly change as funds are acquired and invested and as rates change. Rising interest rates are likely to increase net interest income in a positive gap position while falling interest rates are beneficial in a negative gap position.

The above rate sensitivity analysis places interest-bearing demand and savings deposits in the shortest maturity category because these liabilities do not have defined maturities. If these deposits were placed in a maturity distribution representative of the Company’s deposit base history, the shortfall of the negative rate sensitive gap position would be reduced in the 1-to-90 day time frame.

The rate sensitivity gap table illustrates that the Company had a large negative cumulative gap position for the one-year period as of December 31, 2011. This negative gap position was mainly due to: (1) the interest-bearing and savings deposits being classified in the 1-90 day category; (2) approximately 88.3% of certificates of deposit maturing during the next twelve months; and (3) a significant portion of the Company’s loans maturing after one year.

87

The interest rate sensitivity and rate sensitivity gap tables, taken together, indicate that the Company continues to be in a liability sensitive position when evaluating the maturities of interest-bearing items. Thus, a decline in the interest rate environment would enhance earnings, while an increase in interest rates would have the opposite effect on corporate earnings. The Company has attempted to mitigate the impact of its interest rate position by increasing the amount of its variable rate loans and also by structuring deposit rates to entice customers to shorten the maturities of their time deposits. The effect of any changes in interest rates on the Company would be mitigated by the fact that interest-bearing demand and savings deposits may not be immediately affected by changes in general interest rates.

Although short and medium term interest rates decreased in 2010 and remained low in 2011 in connection with decreases in the target Federal Funds rate by the Federal Reserve Bank, the effect on the Company was marginal. The Company’s net interest margin in 2011 was 4.20% and in 2010 was 4.04%.

On March 9, 2012, shares of the Company’s common stock were held of record by approximately 460 shareholders.

DIVIDENDS

Dividends totaled $0.88 per share for 2011 compared to $0.85 per share for 2010, an increase of 3.5%.

If funds are available, the Board of Directors of the Company typically declares dividends on a quarterly basis in March, June, September and December with payment following at the end of the month in which the dividend was declared. Funds for the payment by the Company of cash dividends are obtained from dividends, loans or advances received by the Company from the Bank. Accordingly, the declaration and payment of dividends by the Company depend upon the Bank’s earnings and financial condition, general economic conditions, compliance with regulatory requirements, and other factors. The Bank must also receive the approval of the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance prior to the payment of a dividend.
