The accounting and reporting policies of Peoples Bancshares of Pointe Coupee Parish, Inc. (Bancshares) and its subsidiary conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to the prevailing practices within the banking industry. A summary of significant accounting policies is as follows:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bancshares and its wholly owned subsidiary, Peoples Bank and Trust Company (the Bank). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Substantially all of the assets, liabilities, and operations presented in the consolidated financial statements are attributable to Peoples Bank and Trust Company. The Bank provides a variety of banking services to individuals and businesses primarily in and around Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. Its primary deposit products are demand deposits accounts and certificates of deposits, and its primary lending products are commercial, agriculture, real estate, and consumer loans.

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 determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions. In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

The Bank's loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets, and business assets. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to honor their contracts is dependent on local economic conditions and the agricultural industry.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans 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 estimated losses on loans.

Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

The Bank's investments in securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and consist of bonds, notes, and debentures that are available to meet the Bank's operating needs. These securities are reported at fair value as determined by quoted market prices.

Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Realized gains (losses) on the sales and maturities of investment securities are classified as non-interest income and reported as a reclassification adjustment in other comprehensive income.

Interest-bearing deposits in other banks mature within one year and are carried at cost, which approximates market.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-off's, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received, until qualifying for return to accrual. 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 charged-off if management considers the collection of principal and interest to be doubtful.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, and economic conditions.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and construction loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Past-due status is determined based on contractual terms.

Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures. Because of uncertainties associated with the regional economic conditions, collateral values, and future cash flows on impaired loans, it is reasonably possible that management's estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the related allowance may change materially in the near term. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense and reduced by charge-off's, net of recoveries.

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management, and the real estate is subsequently carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in loss on foreclosed real estate.

Land is carried at cost. Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 30 years.

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year (after exclusion of non-taxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities) and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the amount of taxable income and pretax financial income and between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. 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 prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

Net income per share of common stock has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Comprehensive income is the change in stockholders' equity during the period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income includes the change in unrealized gains (losses), net of taxes, on available-for-sale securities during the period.

For purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks and federal funds sold.

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit, including commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Certain amounts in the 2001 and 2000 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
