The compensation of directors may be changed from time to time by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee without shareholder approval.

Description of Named Executive Officer Compensation

Total compensation to the named executive officers (as defined in Securities and Exchange Commissions Regulation S-K Item 402(a)(3)) of the Company and the Bank is primarily composed of two types of compensation: (1) base salary and (2) short-term annual cash incentive compensation.

Base Salary

Individual base salaries and increases for the Company’s named executive officers, other than the President and Chief Executive Officer, are recommended annually by the Chief Executive Officer to the Compensation Committee and are determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee. The philosophy of the Company is that compensation should be based on individual annual performance and the performance of the Company, and should be competitive with the market. With respect to the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee reviews the financial performance of the Company as well as published data regarding compensation of chief executive officers of comparable financial institutions located in comparable markets and of local banks and thrifts. The Compensation Committee recommends the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer to the Board of Directors for final approval. The approval process takes place without the presence of the Chief Executive Officer.

Set forth below are the 2005 base salaries of the following named executive officers of the Company. Base salaries paid in 2004 are also shown for comparison.

Named Executive Officer	2005		2004
E. L. Spencer, Jr.	$	200,000	$	195,672
Robert W. Dumas		170,000		161,705
Terrell E. Bishop		122,477		117,766
Jo Ann Hall		122,521		117,809
W. Thomas Johnson		110,943		106,676

Short-Term Annual Cash Incentive Compensation

Short-term annual cash incentive compensation in the form of bonuses is intended to align short-term cash compensation of eligible Company officers with individual performance and Company performance. The Compensation Committee, using recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and with full Board approval, approves annual bonus payments to those officers who have made contributions to the Company’s profitability, as measured and reported through individual performance goals established at the beginning of the year. This philosophy controls compensation expenses and rewards past performance by reducing the need for significant annual base salary increases.

Set forth below are the annual cash bonuses paid in 2005 to the Company’s named executive officers for performance in the year ended December 31, 2004.

Named Executive Officer	2004
E. L. Spencer, Jr.	$	30,500
Robert W. Dumas		36,000
Terrell E. Bishop		22,000
Jo Ann Hall		20,000
W. Thomas Johnson		18,500
Total		127,000

Annual cash bonuses for 2005 will be determined in early 2006. The Company expects individual 2005 bonuses to be determined using the same criteria as applied to determine 2004 bonuses.

Other Compensation

In addition to base salary and short-term annual cash incentive compensation, certain officers of the Company and the Bank, including the named executive officers, receive compensation in the form of Company contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Any such compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers under these compensation arrangements during 2004 will be set forth under “Other Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table of the Company’s 2005 Proxy Statement to be filed with the Commission on Schedule 14A.
