NOTE B - SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATIONSecurity Capital Corporation (the Company) was incorporated September 16, 1982, under the laws of the State of Mississippi for the purpose of acquiring First Security Bank and serving as a one-bank holding company.
First Security Bank and Batesville Security Building Corporation are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company.
First Security Bank was originally chartered under the laws of the State of Mississippi on October 25, 1951 and engages in a wide range of commercial banking activities and emphasizes it local management, decision-making and ownership. The Bank offers a full range of banking services designed to meet the basic financial needs of its customers. These services include checking accounts, NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and individual retirement accounts. The Bank also offers a wide range of personal and corporate trust services and commercial, agricultural, mortgage and personal loans. Its full-service banking locations expanded to eleven with the October 31, 2001 opening in Olive Branch, Mississippi, the July 1, 2002 opening in Hernando, Mississippi and the August 2003 opening in Pope, Mississippi. In 2004, land has been purchased for the construction of a branch location in Southaven, Mississippi with the projected opening to be in early 2005.
Batesville Security Building Corporation, the non-bank subsidiary, was chartered under the laws of the State of Mississippi on June 23, 1971, generally, to deal and manage real estate and personal property and is currently inactive.
The Company filed the initial registration, Form 10-SB, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2003 having reached and exceeded 500 shareholders in 2002.

ITEM NO. 2 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains "forward-looking statements" relating to, without limitation, future economic performance, plan and objectives of management for future operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company's management. The words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," and "believe," as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results may differ and the Company's operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in the Company's filing of the Form 10-SB with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The subsidiary Bank represents the primary assets of the Company. On September 30, 2004, First Security Bank had approximately $374.9 million in assets compared to $332 million at September 30, 2003. Loans increased to $231.8 million at September 30, 2004 from $205.5 million at September 30, 2003. Deposits increased by $39.6 million from September 30, 2003 to September 30, 2004 for a total of $319.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003, the Bank reported income of approximately $4,849,000 and $4,277,000 respectively.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITIONThe cash and due from banks of $16.5 million at September 30, 2004 reflected an increase from the cash position of $15 million at December 31, 2003. This increase is attributed to growth and a daily fluctuation due to normal bank transactions. The cash management team readily invests available cash and assesses the investment tools for the most desirable yield as displayed in the reduction in the federal funds sold from the position at December 31, 2003 and an increase in securities available for sale.
The earning assets at December 31, 2003 were $306 million and at September 30, 2004 was $337 million. The investments in fixed assets continue to increase with the expansion of the banking services into the Southaven area. The premises and equipment, net of the accumulated depreciation, at December 31, 2003 was $12.8 million as compared to $14.3 million at September 30, 2004. Other assets increased to $4.7 million at September 30, 2004 from $1.7 million at December 31, 2003, with the major components of the increase attributed to an increase in the customer liability acceptances and the classification of the September 30, 2004 unposted deposit debits as other assets.
Deposit liabilities at September 30, 2004 reflected an 11% growth or a $30.4 million increase for the first nine months in 2004. The rise in deposits decreases the need for increments on long-term borrowings. Short-term borrowings are a tool in providing funding for deposit withdrawals and customer loan advances. At September 30, 2004, short-term funding was not needed as demonstrated by no liability existing for federal funds purchased.
The net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities reflected in the shareholder's equity section on December 31, 2003 was approximately $1.3 million. Due to the volatile changes in the market in 2004, the net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities dropped to $56 thousand as of June 30, 2004. At September 30, 2004, the net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities increased to $902 thousand from the previous quarter ending. The third quarter changes in the market affected the comprehensive income with an increase of $847 thousand for the three months ending September 30, 2004 and a decrease of $382 thousand for the nine months ending September 30, 2004. In 2003, the three months and the nine months ending September 30 reflected a decrease in comprehensive income of $426 thousand and $275 thousand, respectively.
The consolidated statements of cash flows summarize the changes in the financial condition of the Company. The most prevalent of the changes for the nine months ending September 30, 2004 are: an increase of $ 27.4 million in loans; purchases of available-for-sale securities of $54.4 million; purchases of $2 million for premises and equipment of which the new real estate and construction costs for the branch located in Southaven, Mississippi, comprise $1.6 million; an increase of $30.4 million in deposits and a decrease in federal funds sold of $20.3 million.
Diversification within the loan portfolio is an important means of reducing inherent lending risks. The loan portfolio is represented of the following mix: Commercial 7.6%; Agricultural 2.95%; Real Estate 74.93%; Consumer 13.90% and Other .55%. The major components of the real estate loans are 27.11% for construction and land development property, 27.62% for first liens on 1-4 family residential property and 34.62% for nonfarm and nonresidential property.
At September 30, 2004, the subsidiary bank had loans past due as follows: (in thousands) Past due 30 days through 89 days $3,935 Past due 90 days or more and still accruing $1,290
The accrual of interest is discontinued on loans which become ninety days past due unless the loans are adequately secured and in the process of collection. Nonaccrual loans totaled $78 thousand at September 30, 2004. Any other real estate owned is carried at lower of cost or current appraised value less cost to dispose. Other real estate at September 30, 2004 totaled $139 thousand. A loan is classified as a restructured loan when the interest rate is materially reduced or the term is extended beyond the original maturity date because of the inability of the borrower to service the debt under the original terms. The subsidiary bank had no restructured loans at September 30, 2004.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company experienced $656 thousand in charge-offs of loans and $325 thousand in recoveries of loans for a net decrease effect to the Allowance for Loan Losses of $331 thousand. The net charge-offs represent .14 % of loans. Of the $656 thousand charge to the Allowance for Loan Losses, the breakdown is 8.54% for 1-4 family residential properties with first liens, 18.14% for 1-4 family residential properties with junior liens, 1% for commercial and industrial loans, 61.59% for consumer loans. Consumer loan collections of $301 thousand represent the major component of the $325 thousand in recoveries.
LIQUIDITYThe Company has an asset and liability management program that assists management in maintaining net interest margins during times of both rising and falling interest rates and in maintaining sufficient liquidity. As of September 30, 2004, Security Capital Corporation had a positive gap of 21.1 % in a 12-month time frame. The regulatory liquidity ratio reflected 17.94%, within the policy requirement of a minimum liquidity ratio of 15%. A 1% increase in market rates will increase net interest income by approximately 1.22% while a decrease in market rates will reduce net interest income by 2.06%. The Companys policy allows for no more than a 10% movement in NII (net interest income), in a 200 basis point ramp of market rates over a one-year period. Currently, a 200 basis point movement down would reduce NII by 4.54% while an upward movement of the same amount would increase NII by 4.81%. When funds exceed the needs for reserve requirements or short-term liquidity needs, the company will increase its security investments or sell federal funds. It is managements policy to maintain an adequate portion of its portfolio of assets and liabilities on a short-term basis to insure rate flexibility and to meet loan funding and liquidity needs.
At September 30, 2004, the tools to meet these needs are the secured and unsecured lines of credit with the correspondent banks totaling $20.5 million (to borrow federal funds) and the line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank that exceeds $82 million. At September 30, 2004, the Company had available (unused) line of credit of approximately $89 million.
CAPITAL RESOURCESTotal consolidated equity capital at September 30, 2004 was $45.4 million or approximately 12.1% of total assets. The main source of capital for the Corporation has been the retention of net income.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total Capital, Tier 1 Capital and Leverage Capital. Currently, the Company and the Bank have adequate capital positions as of September 30, 2004 as reflected below:
Corporation Bank Risk-Based Capital Ratio Ratio Ratio Requirements - ------------------------ ----- ----- ------------ Total Capital 16.58% 15.87% 8% Tier 1 Capital 15.33% 14.62% 4% Leverage Capital 10.84% 10.32% 3%RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had a consolidated net income for $4.8 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2004, compared with consolidated net income of $4.1 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2003.
Total interest income increased to $14.0 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2004 from $12.9 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2003, or an increase of 8.7 %. Earning assets through September 30, 2004 increased $43.0 million and interest-bearing liabilities increased $48.2 million compared to September 30, 2003, reflecting an increase of 14.51% and 19.88%, respectively.
Noninterest income for the nine months ending September 30, 2004 was $4.4 million compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2003, reflecting an increase of $474 thousand or 11.95%. Included in noninterest income are service charges on deposit accounts, which for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003 totaled $2.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively
The provision for loan losses was $455 thousand in the first nine months of 2004 compared with $484 for the same period in 2003 showing a decrease of $29 thousand. The Allowance for Loan Losses of $3.8 million on September 30, 2004 (approximately 1.63% of loans) is considered by management to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Allowance for Loan Losses as of September 30, 2003 was 1.81% of loans. An evaluation of historical loss rates for bankruptcy and agriculture loans resulted in a reduction of the applied allocation rate beginning in the second quarter of 2004. The level of this allowance is dependent upon a number of factors, including the total amount of past due loans, general economic conditions, and managements assessment of potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant change. Ultimately, losses may vary from current estimates and future additions to the allowance may be necessary. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the Allowance for Loan Losses or that additional increases will not be required. Management evaluates the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan Losses quarterly and makes provisions for loan losses based on this evaluation.
Other income for the nine months ending September 30, 2004 showed a significant increase, primarily due to a legal settlement receipt of $350,000 in a fire loss of a branch in 2002.
Other expense increased by $621 thousand or 7.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, when compared with the same period in 2003. Salaries and employee benefits of $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 represent the largest component of other expenses and steadily increases with the development of the market area and the training of future bank management, in both areas of commercial banking and trust.
Income tax expense of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is indicative of the applicable tax liability for the increase in the income for 2004 along with the adjustments for tax-exempt income and tax deferred income.
The net interest margin forecasted in the Companys asset liability management analysis for the coming twelve months period is 4.73% based on no change in rates. This forecast is up from the 4.58% as forecasted for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The increase in the forecast is due to the Company being asset sensitive. With the substantial change in the markets since June 30, 2004, the Companys ability to reprice the asset side of the balance sheet higher and combined with the lagging impact upward rates typically have on the funding side of the balance sheet attribute to the increase in the forecasted net interest margin.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the return on assets is reflected at 1.77% as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2003 of 1.69%.
There have been no material changes in market risk exposures that affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented as of December 31, 2003 in the Companys Form 10-K and Annual Report.
ITEM NO. 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURESWithin 90 days prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation under the direction and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer was performed to determine the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures.
