PART I
This Annual Report on Form 10-K may contain or incorporate by reference
statements which may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Prospective investors are cautioned
that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees for future
performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may
differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
Important factors currently known to management that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include
significant fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, economic recession,
significant changes in the federal and state legal and regulatory environment,
significant underperformance in the Company's portfolio of outstanding loans,
and competition in the Company's markets. The Company undertakes no obligation
to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions,
the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results
over time.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
The Peoples Holding Company (the "Registrant" or "Company"), was organized under
the laws of the State of Mississippi and incorporated on November 10, 1982, in
order to acquire all of the common stock of The Peoples Bank & Trust Company,
Tupelo, Mississippi (the "Bank").
Organization
The Registrant commenced business on July 1, 1983 and the acquisition of the
Bank was also consummated at that time. All of the Registrant's banking
activities are conducted through the Bank, which on December 31, 1998, had 41
banking offices in Tupelo, Aberdeen, Amory, Batesville, Booneville, Calhoun
City, Coffeeville, Corinth, Grenada, Guntown, Hernando, Iuka, Louisville, New
Albany, Okolona, Olive Branch, Plantersville, Pontotoc, Saltillo, Sardis,
Shannon, Smithville, Southaven, Verona, Water Valley, West Point, and Winona,
Mississippi.
All members of the Board of Directors of the Registrant are also members of the
Board of Directors of the Bank. Responsibility for the management of the Bank
and its branches remains with the Board of Directors and Officers of the Bank;
however, management services rendered to the Bank by the Registrant are intended
to supplement the internal management of the Bank and expand the scope of
banking services normally offered by them.
The Bank, which is the Registrant's primary subsidiary, was established in
February 1904, as a state chartered bank. It is insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.
As a commercial bank, a complete range of banking and financial services are
provided to individuals and small- to medium-size businesses. These services
include checking and savings accounts, business and personal loans, interim
construction and residential mortgage loans, student loans, equipment leasing,
as well as safe deposit and night depository facilities. Automated teller
machines located throughout our market area provide 24-hour banking services.
The Bank also offers to its customers the VISA and MasterCard credit cards.
Accounts receivable factoring is also available to qualified businesses. In
addition to a wide variety of fiduciary services, the Bank administers (as
trustee or in other fiduciary or representative capacities) pension,
profit-sharing and other employee benefit plans and personal trusts and estates.
The Company also offers annuities and mutual funds. Neither the Registrant nor
the Bank has any foreign activities.
3
Competition
Vigorous competition exists in all major areas where the Registrant and its
subsidiary are engaged in business. Not only does the Registrant compete through
its subsidiary bank with state and national banks in its service areas, but
also, with savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies,
mortgage companies, insurance companies, brokerage firms, and investment
companies for available loans and depository accounts. All of these institutions
compete in the delivery of services and products through availability, quality,
and pricing. Within the Registrant's market area, none of the competitors are
dominant.
Supervision and Regulation
The Registrant is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"), and is registered as such with the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board"). The Registrant
is required to file with the Board an annual report and such other information
as the Board may require. The Board may also make examinations of the Registrant
and its subsidiary pursuant to the Act. The Board also has the authority (which
it has not exercised) to regulate provisions of certain bank holding company
debt.
The Act requires every bank holding company to obtain prior approval of the
Board before acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5%
of the voting shares of any bank which is not already majority-owned by the
Registrant. The Act provides that the Board shall not approve any acquisition,
merger or consolidation which would result in monopoly or which would be in
furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or attempt to
monopolize the business of banking, or any other transactions the effect of
which might substantially lessen competition, or in any manner be a restraint on
trade, unless the anti-competitive effects of the proposed transaction are
clearly outweighed in the public interest by the probable effect of the
transaction in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served.
The Act also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from
itself engaging in or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of
the voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities. The
principal exception is for engaging in or acquiring shares of a company whose
activities are found by the Board to be so closely related to banking or
managing banks as to be a proper incident thereto. In making such determinations
the Board is required to consider whether the performance of such activities by
a bank holding company or its subsidiaries can reasonably be expected to produce
benefits to the public such as greater convenience, increased competition or
gains in efficiency of resources, versus the risks of possible adverse effects
such as decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound
banking practices.
The Act prohibits the acquisition by a bank holding company of more than 5% of
the outstanding voting shares of a bank located outside the state in which the
operations of its banking subsidiaries are principally conducted, unless such an
acquisition is specifically authorized by statute of the state in which the bank
to be acquired is located.
The Registrant and its subsidiary are subject to certain restrictions imposed by
the Federal Reserve Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act on any extensions
of credit to the bank holding company or its subsidiary, on investments in the
stock or other securities of the bank holding company or its subsidiary, and on
taking such stock or other securities as collateral for loans of any borrower.
4
The Bank was chartered under the laws of the State of Mississippi and is subject
to the supervision of, and is regularly examined by, the Department of Banking
and Consumer Finance of the State of Mississippi. The Bank is also insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is subject to examination and
review by that regulatory authority.
Mississippi banks are permitted to merge with other existing banks statewide and
to acquire or be acquired, by banks or bank holding companies. Section 102 of
the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 removed
territorial restrictions for interstate bank mergers, effective May 1, 1997.
Out-of-state bank holding companies may establish a bank in Mississippi only by
acquiring a Mississippi bank or Mississippi bank holding company.
Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of the Bank to transfer funds
to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans, or advances. The approval
of the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance is required prior
to the Bank paying dividends and is limited to earned surplus in excess of three
times the Bank's capital stock.
Federal Reserve regulations also limit the amount the Bank may loan to the
Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At
December 31, 1998, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to
the Company in the form of loans was 11% of consolidated net assets.
Mississippi laws authorize multi-bank holding companies but there are no
statutes regulating the operation of such companies.
Monetary Policy and Economic Controls
The earnings and growth of the banking industry, the Bank and, to a larger
extent, the Registrant, are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities,
including the Federal Reserve System. An important function of the Federal
Reserve System is to regulate the national supply of bank credit in order to
combat recession and curb inflationary pressures. Among the instruments of
monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve to implement these objectives are
open market operations in U. S. Government securities, changes in the discount
rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against bank
deposits. These instruments are used in varying degrees to influence overall
growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and may also affect interest
rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.
The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve System have had a significant
effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected
to do so in the future. In view of changing conditions in the national economy
and in the various money markets as well as the effect of actions by monetary
and fiscal authorities including the Federal Reserve System, the effect on
future business and earnings of the Registrant and its subsidiary cannot be
predicted with accuracy.
In the past few years, the trend seems to be toward competitive equality within
the financial services industry. This was evidenced in 1980 by the formation of
the Depository Institution Deregulation Committee (the "DIDC"). The DIDC's sole
purpose was to eliminate the restrictions imposed upon the rates of interest a
depository institution could pay on a deposit account. The trend was again
evidenced in 1982 with the passage of the Garn-St. Germain Depository
Institutions Act. This act provided for, among other things, the money market
account. This account was designed to operate in a manner similar to the money
market mutual funds being offered by the investment brokers. It would earn a
market rate of interest, with limited third-party withdrawals and a minimum
balance requirement.
5
Source and Availability of Funds
The funds essential to the business of the Registrant and its subsidiary consist
primarily of funds derived from customer deposits and borrowings of federal
funds by the banking subsidiary, and from loans under established lines of
credit. The availability of such funds is primarily dependent upon the economic
policies of the federal government, the economy in general and the general
credit market for loans.
Personnel
Alex Sheshunoff Management Services completed a comprehensive strategic
assessment of the Bank and designed an action plan to facilitate
organization-wide structural changes. The action plan addressed operational
costs, risk management, redundant activities, manual processes, under-utilized
automation, and the future automation of inefficient work methods. With this
move to automation came the need to displace selected jobs. Normal attrition,
retirement, and our displacement schedule have reduced the Registrant's number
of employees to 480 on a full-time basis at December 31, 1998.
Dependence Upon a Single Customer
Neither the Registrant nor its subsidiary is dependent upon a single customer or
upon a limited number of customers.
Segment Reporting

Acquisition of Certain Assets and Liabilities
In the past several years, the Bank has acquired several banks and continues to
examine other possible candidates for acquisition by cash or stock or a
combination of both. During December 1998, the Company entered into an agreement
with Inter-City Federal Bank for Savings in Louisville, Mississippi, to acquire
approximately $34,890,000 in loans and $38,530,000 in deposits. The information
under the caption "Note B - Mergers and Acquisitions" on Page 10 of the
Registrant's 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders is incorporated herein by

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses provides coverage for losses inherent in the
Company's loan portfolio. Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for
loan losses each quarter. The overall allowance is evaluated based on a
continuing assessment of problem loans, historical loss experience, new lending
products, emerging credit trends, changes in the size and character of loan
categories, and other factors including its risk rating system, regulatory
guidance and economic conditions. Management has determined that the allowance
for loan losses is adequate, although financial market volatility, economic
reversals or decreased corporate earnings could require an increase in the
required allowance.
Management allocates the allowance for loan losses by loan category. Commercial,
financial and agricultural and real estate - mortgage allocations are based on a
quarterly review of individual loans outstanding and binding commitments to
lend. Reserves are allocated based on actual loss experience and to credits with
similar risk characteristics. Consumer loan allocations are based on an analysis
of product mix, credit scoring, migration analyses, bankruptcy experience and
historical and expected delinquency and charge-off statistics.
No portion of the allowance is restricted to any individual loan or group of
loans, rather the entire allowance is restricted to absorb losses from the
entire loan portfolio.
The Company also maintains an unallocated allowance to recognize the existence
of other exposures, including but not limited to, the risk in concentrations to
specific borrowers, financings of highly leveraged transactions, products or
industries.
The following table presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses by
loan category at December 31 for each of the years presented:

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The main offices of the Registrant and its subsidiary, The Peoples Bank and
Trust Company, are located at 209 Troy Street, Tupelo, Mississippi. All floors
of the five-story building are occupied by various departments within the Bank.
The Technology Center located in Tupelo, Mississippi, houses the electronic data
processing, proof, purchasing, and statement rendering. In addition, the Bank
operated thirty-two (32) full-service branches, and nine (9) limited-service
branches. The Bank has two (2) full-service branches in both Southaven and West
Point; one (1) full-service branch and two (2) limited-service branches in
Booneville; one (1) full-service branch and one (1) limited-service branch in
Amory, Corinth, and Pontotoc; one (1) full-service branch each at Aberdeen,

conducting banking activities. The aggregate annual rental for all leased
premises during the year ending December 31, 1998, did not exceed five percent
of the Bank's operating expenses.
It is anticipated that in the next several years, branch renovations and
construction will be completed at Corinth, Olive Branch, and a new location west
of Tupelo, Mississippi. The other facilities owned or occupied under lease by
the Bank are considered by management to be adequate.
