EX-13 6 dex13.txt ANNUAL REPORT EXHIBIT 13 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY 2002 ANNUAL REPORT INTEGRITY Dear Stockholder: Let me begin by thanking you for the opportunity to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of this great company. I recently stated that, "To have a great bank, you must have great stockholders, great customers and great employees." We certainly enjoy all three of these within our company. Your management team is excited about the opportunities available to us in the future. We are operational in our new branch in Sebastopol and are expecting good returns on our investment in that community. We are extremely pleased with the results thus far from our new Meridian Branch. The Lauderdale County market is very active, and we intend to pursue our share of this activity. After ten months of operation in the Winston County market, we are beginning to establish a strong presence in this market. This acquisition continues our growth strategy into contiguous markets which have historically proven successful. Across the nation, many companies are suffering from deteriorating confidence in their abilities and integrity. Sadly much of this deterioration has been caused by their own actions. I take great comfort in the confidence I have in the integrity of our company and the abilities of our employees. I feel very honored to have been chosen to lead our company into the future. I am very much aware of my responsibility to serve our communities while maximizing the value of your investment. I assure you this responsibility will never be taken lightly. Thank you for your support. Greg L. McKee President and Chief Executive Officer Dear Stockholder: My journey as your Chief Executive Officer ended December 31, 2002 as I passed the title of Chief Executive Officer to Greg McKee. I am confident that he will continue the growth of your company and take us to new highs in the future. Even though I have retired from the day-to-day operations, I will remain on the Board as Chairman and will be available for consultation when needed. The past year presented us with the continued decline of the stock market, a drop in interest rates to a level not seen for many years and the lack of integrity in a few public companies. These factors along with the fear of terrorism and the possibility of war have caused some uncertainty in our economy. I am most troubled by the apparent lack of integrity in some publicly traded companies. Although when you look at The Wall Street Journal and see the numerous pages of publicly traded companies, you realize that the percentage of companies that have allegedly misstated their financials is very small. In the past, some stocks were overpriced without real fundamentals to provide a basis for being as highly priced as they were. The recent adjustment in stock prices was going to happen at some point and hopefully that is now behind us. I am pleased that with all of the negative factors affecting our economy, we were able to increase our 2002 earnings 10.3% over 2001, increasing basic per share earnings from $1.15 in 2001 to $1.27 in 2002. Our assets grew 21.4%, deposits grew 20.4% and loans increased 16.6%. In 2002 we continued a long tradition of improving performance every year. During the past year, we acquired Citizens Bank & Trust Company in Louisville and expanded our Meridian presence with the completion of our new branch building. This rapid growth had some impact on our earnings this year but we expect these investments to have a positive impact on earnings in the future. Loan losses in 2002 were higher than last year, a reflection of the national economy. There is continuing growth at the Pearl River Resort and the Nissan Plant in Madison County will begin operation in 2003. We have increased our presence in this area and I believe this will present a great opportunity for the growth of our Bank. Thank you for allowing me to serve in this great organization. Steve Webb Chairman of the Board Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operations as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 ------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND Citizens Holding Company (the "Company") is a one-bank holding company that holds 97.52% of the outstanding shares of The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia, Mississippi (the "Bank"). The Company was incorporated under Mississippi law on February 16, 1982. The Bank was opened on February 8, 1908 as The First National Bank of Philadelphia. In 1917, the Bank surrendered its national charter and obtained a state charter at which time the name of the Bank was changed to The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia, Mississippi. At December 31, 2002, the Bank was the largest bank headquartered in Neshoba County with total assets of $517,895,699 and total deposits of $433,674,581. The principal executive offices of both the Company and the Bank are located at 521 Main Street, Philadelphia, Mississippi 39350 and its telephone number is (601) 656-4692. All references hereinafter to the activities or operations of the Company reflect the Company's acting or operating through the Bank. OVERVIEW In 2002, the Company had significant growth in assets, loans and deposits in large part due to the acquisition of CB&T Capital Corporation and it's subsidiary, Citizens Bank and Trust Company ("CB&T") in Louisville, Mississippi for a net purchase price of $4,300,300. Assets increased $91,237,244 or 21.4%, net loans increased $43,049,436 or 16.5% and deposits increased $73,459,168 or 20.4% over 2001 with $71.7 million of the increase in assets, including $15.0 million in net loans and $57.9 million of the increase in deposits attributable to the Louisville purchase. The Company also showed good growth in assets and loans for 2001. Total assets at the end of 2001 were $427,212,874, an increase of 11.6% over 2000; net loans were $260,903,091, an increase of 4.9% over 2000; and deposits increased to $359,309,007, an increase of 24.9% over 2000. This increase was aided by the acquisition in July 2001 of the two Union Planters branches in Forest and Decatur for a net purchase price of $2,453,390; which added $30,506,745 in assets, including $11,703,517 in loans and $30,284,185 in deposits. Net income after taxes of the Company for 2002 increased by 10.3% from 2001 to $6,297,500. Net income was affected in 2002 by a decrease in interest paid on deposits and other borrowed money. Net income for 2001 and 2000 was up 3.2% and down 1.6%, respectively, both years' changes in net income being influenced greatly by the fluctuating interest rate environment and asset and loan growth. Net income for 2002 produced, on a fully diluted basis, earnings per share of $1.26 compared to $1.15 for 2001 and $1.11 for 2000. The Company's Return on Average Assets (ROA) was 1.28% in 2002, compared to 1.41% in 2001 and 1.48% in 2000, and our Return on Average Equity (ROE) was 12.28% in 2002, 11.98% in 2001 and 13.60% in 2000. Although net income increased in each year, ROA decreased because net income increased at a lower rate than average assets and average equity. In 2000, ROE and ROA also decreased due to a larger growth in assets and equity at the same time when earnings were relatively flat. Although ROE increased somewhat in 2002, ROE has generally declined over the last five years due to the retention of retained earnings that caused our capital percentages to rise. During this period, leverage capital ratios increased from 10.61% in 1998 to 10.51% in 2001 but declined to 8.83% in 2002. The decline in leverage capital in 2002 relates to the significant increase in assets related to the acquisition of CB&T and an increase in the Company's dividend payout ratio from approximately 33% to 41%.

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 determined by several factors, including the volume of earning assets and liabilities, the mix of earning assets and liabilities and interest rates. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $21,014,000, $16,047,000 and $14,403,000 and the net interest margin percentage was 4.67%, 4.32% and 4.16% for the years 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. In 2002, the yield on earnings assets decreased to 6.83% from 7.91% in 2001 while the rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 2.59% from 4.35% in 2001. Earning assets volume increased 21.0% while interest-bearing liabilities volume increased 21.8% in 2002. The increases in volume of interest-bearing assets combined with a smaller interest rate reduction on loans than deposits combined to cause the rise in net interest income in 2002. For 2001, the yield on earning assets decreased to 7.91% from 8.22% in 2000 while the earning asset volume increased 7.4%. The rate on interest bearing liabilities decreased to 4.35% in 2001 from 4.85% in 2000 and the interest bearing volume increased 6.2% in 2001. In 2000, the yield on earning assets increased to 8.22% from 7.94% in 1999 and the rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 4.85% from 4.11% in 1999. Total volume of earning assets increased 8.2% while interest-bearing liabilities increased 8.8% in 2000. During this three-year period, loan demand has remained strong and has allowed the Company to continue to invest its available funds in loans that provide the Company with yields that are greater than the yields on investment securities. The volume increases in both interest bearing assets and liabilities was aided by the acquisitions of CB&T in May 2002 and the Union Planters branch acquisitions in July 2001.

Table 4 - Volume/Rate Analysis depicts the dollar effect of volume and rate changes from 2000 through 2002. Variances which were not specifically attributable to volume or rate were allocated proportionately between rate and volume using the absolute values of each for a basis for the allocation. Non-accruing loans were included in the average loan balances used in determining the yields. Interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans has been adjusted to a tax equivalent basis using a marginal federal income tax rate of 34%.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND ASSET QUALITY The provision for loan losses represents charges against operations to establish reserves for probable loan losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio. 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. The ratio of net loans charged off to average loans was .61% in 2002, .42% in 2001, .28% in 2000, .29% in 1999 and .32% in 1998. These percentages are representative of normal loan charge-offs and are not the result of an economic downturn in any particular segment of our economy. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss on a quarterly basis and makes provisions to the allowance based on this analysis. The provision was $1,757,516 in 2002, $1,123,166 in 2001, $917,519 in 2000, $849,344 in 1999 and $846,466 in 1998. At the end of 2002, the allowance for loan losses was $4,222,342, an amount that management believes to be sufficient to protect against future loan losses. Activity in the allowance for loan losses is reflected in Table 5 - Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company's policy is to charge-off loans, when, in management's opinion, the loan is deemed uncollectable, although concerted efforts are made to maximize recovery of the loan after it is charged off.

Non-performing assets and relative percentages to loan balances are presented in Table 6 - Non-performing Assets. Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans, restructured loans, and loans delinquent 90 days or more. Loans are classified as non-accrual when management believes that collection of interest is doubtful, typically when payments are past due over 90 days, unless well secured and in the process of collection. Another element associated with asset quality is other real estate owned (OREO), which represents properties acquired by the Company through loan defaults by customers. Loans on non-accrual status amounted to $357,640 in 2002. Interest income forgone on loans classified as non-accrual is $69,888. All interest accrued on these loans at the time they are classified as non-accrual is reversed and interest accruals are suspended until such time that the loan is in compliance with its terms.

Statements of Financial Accounting Standard No. 114 and 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," became effective January 1, 1995. These statements changed the way loan loss allowance estimates were to be made for problem loans. In general, when it is determined 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 has not recognized any loans as being impaired in conformity with FASB 114 and 118 for the years 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998. Management believes loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful or substandard that are not included in non-performing or impaired loans do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which will have a material impact on future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources. 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, concern about the borrower's financial condition or the value of the collateral securing the loan, 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 with loss potential that are still performing and accruing interest and may be current under the terms of the loan agreement; however, management may have a significant degree of concern about the borrowers' ability to continue to perform according to the terms of the loan. Loss exposure on these loans is typically evaluated based primarily upon the estimated liquidation value of the collateral securing the loan. Also, watch category loans may include credits which, although adequately secured and performing, reflect a past delinquency problem or unfavorable financial trends exhibited by the borrower. NON-INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE A listing of non-interest income and expense from 2000 through 2002 and percentage changes between years is included in Table 7 - Non-interest Income and Expense.
TABLE 7 - NON-INTEREST INCOME & EXPENSE % CHANGE % CHANGE 2002 FROM '01 2001 FROM '00 2000 --------------------------------------------- NON-INTEREST INCOME Income from fiduciary activities $ 3 50.00% $ 2 0.00% $ 2 Service charges on deposit accounts 3,027 7.72% 2,810 13.77% 2,470 Other operating income 1,405 20.29% 1,168 43.79% 813 --------------------------------------------- TOTAL NON-INTEREST INCOME $ 4,435 11.43% $ 3,980 21.19% $ 3,285 ============================================= NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Salaries and employee benefits $ 7,103 26.91% $ 5,597 14.18% $ 4,902 Occupancy expense 2,312 41.75% 1,631 17.68% 1,386 Other operating expense 4,450 44.48% 3,080 23.99% 2,484 --------------------------------------------- TOTAL NON-INTEREST EXPENSE $13,865 34.51% $10,308 17.51% $ 8,772 =============================================
Non-interest income typically consists of service charges on checking accounts 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, safe deposit box rentals, credit life insurance premiums, title insurance service fees and income contributions from the Company's credit life insurance subsidiary. Non-interest income for 2002 increased 11.43% over 2001. The increase in the customer base and the resulting fee income was the main reason for the increase. The acquisition of CB&T in May 2002 and the effect of a full year's income from the Decatur and Forest branches acquired in July 2001 are responsible for this increase. Non-interest income for 2001 was $3,980,612, an increase of $695,792 or 21.2% over 2000. This increase was attributable to increases in checking account service charges related to volume increases, an increase in the number of safe deposit boxes rented, and another year of increased income from its credit life and title insurance subsidiaries and fees from its mortgage origination department. Non-interest expenses consist of salaries and benefits, occupancy expense and other overhead expenses incurred by the Company in the transaction of its business. Non-interest expense increased $3,556,715 or 34.51% in 2002 and $1,536,558 or 17.5% in 2001 over 2000. The increases in both years were mainly from normal growth activity in the Company although the purchase of the Decatur and Forest branches acquired in July 20001 contributed significantly to the increase in 2001 and the acquisition of CB&T in May 2002 contributed to the increase in 2002. In 2002, the Company's efficiency ratio was 54.51% compared to 51.32% in 2001 and 47.20% in 2000. 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 increase in the efficiency ratio over the past three years reflects the increases in non-interest expense required to manage the growth in assets during the period and the additional personnel costs associated with the CB&T and Union Planters branch acquisitions. 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 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. The Company's effective tax rate was 32.01%, 30.93% and 32.26% in 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively. Further tax information is disclosed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. SECURITIES At December 2002, 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 classify any securities as held to maturity or held for trading purposes. Table 8 - Securities and Securities Maturity Schedule summarizes the carrying value of securities from 2000 through 2002 and the maturity distribution at December 31, 2002, by classification.

(1) Average rates were calculated on tax equivalent basis using a marginal federal income tax rate of 34% and a state tax rate of 5%. Although the change in equity due to market value fluctuations in the available-for-sale portfolio is not used in the Tier 1 capital calculation, the change which occurred in the unrealized gain/loss on securities between 2002 and 2001 was a result of the changing in the interest rate environment during that period, in conjunction with the change in the portfolio mix. LOANS The loan portfolio constitutes the major earning asset of the Company and, in the opinion of management, offers the best alternative for maximizing interest spread above the cost of funds. The Company's loan personnel has 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 loan committee for approval. The loan committee is composed of various directors, including the Chairman. All aggregate credits which 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: (a) to make loans on sound and thorough credit analysis, (b) proper documentation of all loans, (c) to eliminate loans from the portfolio that are under-priced, high risk or difficult and costly to administer, (d) to seek good relationships with the customer, (e) to avoid undue concentrations of loans, and (f) to keep non-accrual loans to a minimum by aggressive collection policies. Loan demand has remained strong in the Company's market area over the past three years. In general, the loan growth experienced in 2002 and 2001 was due to a continuation of the overall growth in the area that is served by the Company. However, the acquisitions of CB&T in 2002 and the Decatur and Forest branches in 2001 added approximately $15.0 million and $11.7 million in loans, respectively. The continued success of the casino on the nearby Choctaw Indian Reservation caused an increase in the number of businesses to serve the visitors drawn by the casino. The increase of jobs in the area also helped to tighten the housing market in the area and caused a large number of new houses to be built. This is evidenced by the fact that real estate mortgage loans grew by $8,904,468 or 11.1% in 2002, $5,724,725 or 7.7% in 2001 and $7,447,552 or 11.1% in 2000. Commercial and agricultural loans also showed large growth during this period. These loans grew $23,630,697 or 18.7% in 2002, $3,718,912 or 3.0% in 2001, and $9,777,317 or 8.7% in 2000. This increase was not caused solely by the influence of the casino in the area, but was due in part to an increase in the number of loans to poultry producers originated during this period. Consumer loans have shown moderate growth during the period. This category increased $5,441,264 or 10.0% in 2002, $1,824,679 or 3.5% in 2001 and $2,554,094 or 5.1% in 2000. Changes in consumer purchasing habits and the increase in loan sources have affected the growth of this segment of loans. Low unemployment has insured that more people have jobs and that some people have improved their employment and in turn has lessened the dependence on consumer loans for some purchases. Commercial and agricultural loans are the largest segment of the loan portfolio and, by nature, bear a higher degree of risk. Management is aware of the growth of loans in this category and believes the lending practices, policies, and procedures surrounding this loan category are adequate to manage this risk. Table 9 - Loans Outstanding reflects outstanding balances by loan type for the past five years. Additional loan information is presented in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

The deposit base provides the major funding source for earning assets. Time deposits continue to be the largest single source of the Company's deposit base. A three-year schedule of deposits by type and maturities of time deposits greater than $100,000 is presented in Table 11 - Deposit Information.

The Company in its normal course of business will acquire large certificates of deposit, generally from public entities, for 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. BORROWINGS Aside from the core deposit base and large denomination certificates of deposit mentioned above, the remaining funding sources 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 and long-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB), and U.S. Treasury demand notes for treasury, tax and loan (TT&L). TABLE 12 - SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS As of December 31, 2002 2001 2000 ----------------------------- Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings Year-end balance $ 0 $ 0 $32,000 Weighted average rate 0.00% 0.00% 6.39% Maximum month-end balance $ 0 $34,300 $32,000 Year to date average balance $ 0 $ 7,862 $14,389 Weighted average rate 0.00% 5.38% 6.61% The Company foresees short-term borrowings to be a continued source of liquidity and will continue to use these borrowings as a method to fund short-term needs. The Company has the capacity to borrow up to $176,959,051 from the FHLB and other financial institutions in the form of federal funds purchased and will use these borrowings if circumstances warrant such action. The Company, at the end of 2002, had long-term debt in the amount of $24,606,135 to the Federal Home Loan Bank for advances and $2,319,558 payable to the State of Mississippi for advances under the Agribusiness Enterprise Loan Program. This program provides monies to banks to be extended to qualifying farmers at no interest. Farmers that qualify for the program receive 20% of their loan at zero interest. When the loan is repaid, the State receives its pro-rata share of 20% of the principal payment. The remaining maturity schedule of the long-term debt at December 31, 2002 is listed below. 2002 ------- Less than one year $ 969 One year to three years 2,132 Over three years 23,825 ------- Total Long-term borrowings $26,926 ======= LIQUIDITY AND RATE SENSITIVITY Liquidity management is the process by which the Company ensures that adequate liquid funds are available to meet 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. 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. Managing and measuring the interest rate risk is the process that ranges from reducing the exposure of the Company's interest margin to swings in interest rates to assuring that there is sufficient capital and liquidity to support future balance sheet growth. The Bank's source of funding is predominantly 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. The growth of core deposits has been at a lower growth rate than that of loans. As a result, the Company is increasingly dependent upon non-core sources of funding such as federal funds purchased and short and long term borrowings from the FHLB. The deposit base is diversified between individual and commercial accounts which help 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. All of the investment securities portfolio are classified in the available-for-sale category, and are available to be sold, should liquidity needs arise. Table 13 - Funding Uses and Sources details the main components of cash flows for 2002 and 2001.

Rate sensitivity gap is defined as 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 14 - Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity reflects interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by maturity distribution as of December 31, 2002. Product lines repricing in time periods predetermined by contractual agreements are included in the respective maturity categories.
TABLE 14 - LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY AT DECEMBER 31, 2002 1 - 90 91 - 365 1 - 5 Over Days Days Years 5 years Total ------------------------------------------------------ INTEREST EARNING ASSETS ----------------------- Loans $ 69,790 $ 75,635 $143,940 $ 10,692 $300,057 Investment securities 4,320 10,789 111,203 33,957 160,269 Federal Home Loan Bank Account 1,366 0 0 0 1,366 Federal Funds Sold 2,300 0 0 0 2,300 ------------------------------------------------------ TOTAL INTEREST BEARING ASSETS $ 77,776 $ 86,424 $255,143 $ 44,649 $463,992 ====================================================== INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES ---------------------------- Interest bearing demand deposits $107,439 $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $107,439 Savings and Money Market deposits 48,351 0 0 0 48,351 Time deposits 89,018 108,859 19,195 0 217,072 Short term borrowings 0 Long term borrowings 238 731 17,737 5,900 24,606 ------------------------------------------------------ TOTAL INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES $245,046 $109,590 $ 36,932 $ 5,900 $397,468 ====================================================== Rate sensitive gap -$167,270 -$23,166 $218,211 $ 38,749 $ 66,524 Rate sensitive cumulative gap -167,270 -190,436 27,775 66,524 Cumulative gap as a percentage of total earning assets -36.05% -41.04% 5.99% 14.34%
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 Company's large negative cumulative gap position in the one-year period ending December 31, 2002 was mainly due to: (1) the interest-bearing and savings deposits being classified in the 1-90 day category; (2) approximately 91% of certificates of deposit maturing during the next twelve months; and (3) a significant portion of the Company's loans maturing after one year. 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 effect would be mitigated by the fact that interest-bearing demand and savings deposits may not be immediately affected by changes in general interest rates. 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") requires federal regulatory agencies to define capital tiers. These are: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized. Under these regulations, 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 least 5.00% and not be under a capital directive order. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions, asset growth, and expansion are limited, and the institution is required to submit a capital restoration plan. Management believes the Company and the Bank meet all the capital requirements to be well-capitalized under the guidelines established by the banking regulators as of December 31, 2002, as noted below in Table 15 - Capital Ratios. To be well-capitalized, the Company and Bank must maintain the prompt corrective action capital guidelines described above. Management has sought in the past to maintain a high level of capital to allow the Company to respond to growth and acquisition opportunities in our service area. This strategy has allowed us to purchase the Decatur and Forest branches from Union Planters in July 2001 and to purchase CB&T in May 2002 without having to raise additional capital. Because the Company has been able to increase capital through the retention of earnings, the Company has not implemented a plan to raise additional capital at this time nor does it have any plans to do so.

INFLATION For a financial institution, effects of price changes and inflation vary considerably from an industrial organization. Changes in the prices of goods and services are the primary determinant of the industrial company's profit, whereas changes in interest rates have a major impact on a financial institution's profitability. Inflation affects the growth of total assets, but it is difficult to assess its impact because neither the timing nor the magnitude of the changes in the consumer price index directly coincide with changes in interest rates. During periods of high inflation there are normally corresponding increases in the money supply. During such times financial institutions often experience above average growth in loans and deposits. Also, general increases in the price of goods and services will result in increased operating expenses. Over the past few years the rate of inflation has been relatively low, and its impact on the growth in the balance sheets and increased levels of income and expense has been nominal. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS In September 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125)." SFAS No. 140 replaces SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 140 revises the standard for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. SFAS No. 140 is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2001. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. During 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations entered into after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method. SFAS No. 142 requires that all intangible assets, including goodwill, that result from business combinations be periodically (at least annually) evaluated for impairment, with any resulting impairment loss being charged against earnings. Also, under SFAS No. 142, goodwill resulting from any business combination accounted for according to SFAS No. 141 is not amortized, and the amortization of goodwill related to business combinations entered into prior to June 30, 2001 was discontinued effective, for the Company, January 1, 2002. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 immediately and the provisions of SFAS No. 142 related to discontinuation of goodwill amortization effective January 1, 2002. See Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning the Company's goodwill and other intangible assets. Also during 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires estimated future asset retirement costs to be are recognized as a liability, recorded at their fair value and capitalized as part of the asset and depreciated. Under the new pronouncement, the resulting retirement obligation liability is discounted and accretion expense is recognized using the credit-adjusted risk- free interest rate. The pronouncement is effective for years beginning after June 15, 2002 although early application is permitted. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003. Management does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" was also issued by the FASB during 2001 and is effective for years beginning after December 31, 2001. The new pronouncement sets forth requirements for testing and accounting for impairment or disposal of assets to be held and used, assets to be disposed of other than by sale, and assets to be sold. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. Its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In October 2002, the FASB issued Standard No. 147 related to Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions. The standard clarifies the requirements of Standards No. 141 and 142 as they relate to business combinations between financial institutions and makes the provisions of Standard No. 144 applicable to long-term customer relationship intangible assets. The standard is effective for transactions on or after October 1, 2002. Adopting the standard by the Company did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS In addition to historical information, this report contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements and information which are based on management's beliefs, plans, expectations, assumptions and on information currently available to management. The words "may," "should," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "continue," "believe," "seek," "estimate," and similar expressions used in this report that do not relate to historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements appear in a number of places in this report. The Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the actual results or experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations described or implied by such forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operation, performance, development and results of the Company's and the Bank's business include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the risk of adverse changes in business conditions in the banking industry generally and in the specific markets in which the Company operates; (b) changes in the legislative and regulatory environment that negatively impact the Company and Bank through increased operating expenses; (c) increased competition from other financial institutions; (d) the impact of technological advances; (e) expectations about the movement of interest rates, including actions that may be taken by the Federal Reserve Board in response to changing economic conditions; (f) changes in asset quality and loan demand; (g) expectations about overall economic strength and the performance of the economy in the Company's market area; and (h) other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements subsequent to the date on which they are made. 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 and 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. Market/Interest Rate Risk Management The primary purpose in managing interest rate risk is to effectively invest capital and preserve the value created by the core banking business. The Company utilizes an investment portfolio to manage the interest rate risk naturally created through its business activities. The quarterly interest rate risk report is used to evaluate exposure to interest rate risk, project earnings and manage the composition of the balance sheet and its growth. This report utilizes a 200 basis point rate shock up and down and measures the effect on earnings and the value of equity. Static gap analysis is also used in measuring interest rate risk. 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, 2002 ($ in thousands): Interest Sensitive Within ------------------------ 90 days One year ------------------------ Total rate sensitive assets $ 77,776 $ 86,424 Total rate sensitive liabilities 245,046 109,590 ------------------------ Net gap ($167,270) ($ 23,166) ======================== The analysis indicates a negative gap position over the next three- and twelve -month periods which indicates that the Company would benefit somewhat from a decrease in market interest rates. 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. The static gap analysis does not fully capture the impact of interest rate movements on interest sensitive assets and liabilities. The interest rate sensitivity table that follows 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 as well as changes in management's expectations or intentions. 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, they certainly have the opportunity to do so. Weighted average floating rates are based on the rate for that product as of December 31, 2002 and 2001.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Financial Statement Presentation ----------------------------------------- The accounting policies of Citizens Holding Company and Subsidiary conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. The consolidated financial statements of Citizens Holding Company include the accounts of its approximately 97 percent-owned subsidiary, The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia, Mississippi (collectively referred to as "the Company"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Nature of Business ------------------ The Citizens Bank of Philadelphia, Mississippi ("Citizens Bank") operates under a state bank charter and provides general banking services. As a state bank, the bank is subject to regulations of the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Citizens Holding Company is subject to the regulations of the Federal Reserve. The area served by Citizens Bank is Neshoba County, Mississippi, and the immediately surrounding areas. Services are provided at several branch offices. 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 losses on loans 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 losses on loans and valuation of foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowances 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 allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances 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 allowance for losses on loans and valuation of foreclosed real estate may change materially in the near term. 8 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Continued Cash and Due from Banks ----------------------- For the purpose of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks include cash on hand, demand deposits and interest bearing deposits with banks. Cash flows from loans originated by the Company, deposits, and federal funds purchased and sold are reported at 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 total of those reserves for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $616,000 and $227,000, respectively. At December 31, 2002, the Company had deposits in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management monitors the soundness of the financial institutions and believes there is minimal risk. Investment Securities --------------------- In accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," 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. Securities Available-for-Sale ----------------------------- Securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. 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. The Company classifies its portfolio of U.S. Treasury notes, U.S. Government and Agency securities, taxable state and municipal obligations, and mortgage-backed securities as securities available-for-sale. 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. Securities Held-to-Maturity The Company has no held-to-maturity securities. Trading Securities ------------------ The Company has no trading securities. 9 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANYAND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Continued Loans Held-for-Sale ------------------- Loans held-for-sale are those loans the Company has the intent to sell in the foreseeable future. They are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. Gains and losses on sales of loans are recognized at settlement dates and are determined by the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value of the loans. All sales are made without recourse. Effective for reporting periods beginning with the quarter ending September 30, 2002, commitments to originate or acquire mortgage loans that will be held-for-sale must be accounted for as derivative financial instruments under FAS No. 133. Therefore, the fair value of the commitments must be determined and recorded in the Company's financial statements at the end of each reporting period. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had no loans held-for-sale. 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 discounts and unearned finance charges. Loan origination and commitment fees and direct loan origination costs attributable to loans held with a maturity of more than one year are not significant and are, therefore, recognized as income or expense, as applicable in the period received or incurred. Unearned discounts on installment loans are recognized as income over the terms of the loans by a method that approximates the interest method. Unearned finance charges 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 received. A loan is impaired when 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. 10 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Continued The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against net income. Loans declared 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. Management's judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. These evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, review of specific problem loans, the Company's past loan loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. While management uses the best information available to make its evaluation, this evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change. As a result, future adjustments may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses, and may require additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. Premises and Equipment ---------------------- The Company's premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation computed primarily by straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Real Estate Acquired by Foreclosure ----------------------------------- Real estate acquired by foreclosure consists of properties repossessed by the Company on foreclosed loans. These assets are stated at the lower of the outstanding loan amount (including accrued interest, if any) or fair value based on the 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. Revenue and expenses from operations of other real estate owned are reflected as other income (expense). At December 31, 2002 and 2001, real estate acquired by foreclosure totaled $1,286,409 and $340,657, respectively. Intangibles Intangibles include core deposits purchased and goodwill. Core deposits intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives ranging from 5 to 10 years. Prior to 2002, goodwill was amortized over 40 years. Effective in 2002, pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite 11 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Continued lives are not amortized, but are tested at least annually for impairment. If impairment has occurred, the goodwill or other intangible asset is reduced to its estimated fair value through a charge to expense. 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 (after exclusion of nontaxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities) and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated 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 described in SFAS 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. 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. Advertising Costs ----------------- Advertising costs are charged to expense when incurred. Advertising expense was $331,239, $228,078 and $211,011 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Comprehensive Income -------------------- Comprehensive income includes net earnings reported in the statements of income and changes in unrealized gain (loss) on securities available-for-sale reported as a component of stockholders' equity. Unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale, net of related deferred 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. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 4,963,448 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 4,963,028 for each of the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. 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. Dilutive common equivalent shares 12 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Continued for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were 35,720, 17,540 and 12,204, respectively, all attributable to stock options. Stock Split ----------- In October 2001, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a three-for-two stock split for all shareholders of record as of December 14, 2001, and increased the number of authorized shares of common stock to 22,500,000. Accordingly, all share and per share information in these financial statements and related footnotes has been restated to give effect to the three-for-two split. Stock Based Compensation Stock option grants are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and, accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized for stock options granted. See Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments ----------------------------------- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of financial instruments' fair values, as well as the methodology and significant assumptions used in estimating fair values. These requirements have been incorporated in Note 15. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company and may not be indicative of amounts that might ultimately be realized upon disposition or settlement of those assets and liabilities. Investment - Insurance Company ------------------------------ The Company is accounting for its investment in New South Life Insurance Company ("New South"), a 20 percent owned affiliate, by the equity method of accounting. The Company's share of the net income of the affiliate is recognized as income in the Company's income statement and added to the investment account, and dividends received from New South would be treated as a reduction of the investment account. New South has not paid dividends. The fiscal year of New South ends on November 30 and the Company follows the practice of recognizing the net income of New South on that basis. 13 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Continued The investment, which is included in other assets, totaled $1,499,679 and $1,389,795 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Income from the investment for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 included in other income totaled $109,884, $151,590 and $127,927, respectively. Reclassifications ----------------- Certain reclassifications were made to the financial statement amounts from the prior year in order to facilitate comparability. Recent Pronouncements --------------------- In September 2000 the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (A Replacement of SFAS No. 125)." SFAS No. 140 replaces SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." SFAS No. 140 revises the standard for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of SFAS No. 125's provisions without reconsideration. The Company adopted this statement effective January 1, 2001. The adoption had no effect on the Company's financial statements. During 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" and Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations entered into after June 30, 2001 be accounted for under the purchase method. SFAS No. 142 requires that all intangible assets, including goodwill, that result from business combinations be periodically (at least annually) evaluated for impairment, with any resulting impairment loss being charged against earnings. Also, under SFAS No. 142, goodwill resulting from any business combination accounted for according to SFAS No. 141 will not be amortized, and the amortization of goodwill related to business combinations entered into prior to June 30, 2001 will be discontinued effective, for the Company, January 1, 2002. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 immediately and the provisions of SFAS No. 142 related to discontinuation of goodwill amortization effective January 1, 2002. Amortization of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was not material to the Company's financial statements. Therefore, the effect on previously reported net income for those periods was not material. Also during 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", SFAS No. 143 requires estimated future asset retirement costs to be recognized as a liability, recorded at their fair value and capitalized as part of the asset and depreciated. Under the new statement, the resulting retirement obligation liability is discounted and accretion expense is recognized using the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The statement is effective for years beginning after June 15, 2001 although early application is permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. 14 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Continued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" was also issued by the FASB during 2001 and is effective for years beginning after December 31, 2001. The new statement sets forth requirements for testing and accounting for impairment or disposal of assets to be held and used, assets to be disposed of other than by sale, and assets to be sold. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. Its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions", which clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 141 and 142 as they relate to business combinations between financial institutions and makes the provisions of SFAS No. 144 applicable to long-term customer relationship intangible assets. The standard is effective for transactions on or after October 1, 2002. The Company's adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. Note 2. Acquisitions In May 2002, the Company acquired CB&T Capital Corporation, a one-bank holding company, whose wholly-owned subsidiary was Citizens Bank & Trust Company in Louisville, MS. The acquisition was undertaken by the Company in order to gain entry into a geographic section of the State of Mississippi that is contiguous to the Company's current markets and in which the Company had very little market presence. The purchase price of the net assets totaled approximately $12.3 million cash and was based on a multiple of approximately 1.505 times the book value, subject to certain adjustments, of the acquired company. The Company based its purchase price on several factors, including comparable transactions and management's estimate of the value of entry into a strategically targeted geographic area. The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities acquired: In Thousands -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cash $ 2,880 Investments 50,620 Loans 15,019 Bank premises and other assets 3,137 Deposits (57,939) Other liabilities (5,814) ---------- Net assets acquired 7,903 Goodwill and other intangible assets 4,381 ---------- Purchase price $ 12,284 ========== 15 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 2. Continued The Company has completed its evaluation of the assets and liabilities acquired and has allocated $1,846,909 of the $4,380,869 total intangible asset to core deposit intangibles and the remaining $2,533,960 to goodwill. The core deposit intangible is to be amortized at the rate of $15,391 per month until fully amortized, representing an estimated economic life of 10 years. The amount of core deposit amortization expense related to the Louisville purchase was $107,736 through December 31, 2002. The operations of CB&T Capital Corporation are included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. The pro forma effect, had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2001, is not significant to the operation of the Company. In July 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of two bank branches located in Forest and Decatur, Mississippi from Union Planters Bank. The Company acquired approximately $30.3 million in deposits, $11.7 million in loans, and $15.4 million in cash and short-term investments. The $2.5 million purchase price was allocated primarily to a core deposit intangible asset. Total amortization expense related to intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $460,548, $193,109 and $72,110, respectively. Amortization expense attributable to core deposit intangible assets is estimated to be approximately $537,000 for each of the next five years. Note 3.

The Company is required to obtain approval from state regulators before paying dividends. The Citizens Bank paid dividends of $2,592,317, $1,986,540 and $1,406,219 to the Company during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Note 10. Related Party Transactions The Company has 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 does not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility at the time of the transaction. The balance of loans made to related parties at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $1,740,496 and $2,068,168, respectively. Advances to related parties during the year ended December 31, 2002 totaled $3,168,658. Payments received from related parties during the year ended December 31, 2002 totaled $3,496,330. 24 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 11. 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, 2002 and 2001, commitments related to unused lines of credit were $29,079,857 and standby letters of credit were $479,850 and $444,500, respectively. 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 on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 25 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 11. Continued Concentration of Risk --------------------- The Company makes agricultural, agribusiness, commercial, residential and consumer loans primarily in the eastern region of Mississippi. A substantial portion of the Company's customers' abilities to honor their contracts is dependent on the business and agricultural economy in that 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 3 for a summary of loans by type. The nature of the Company's business requires that it maintain amounts due from banks, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Note 12. 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 $ 62,604 2004 62,604 2005 62,604 2006 62,604 2007 58,644 ----------- $ 309,060 =========== The total rental expense included in the income statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 is $64,281, and $66,962 and $26,913, respectively. 26 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 13. Benefit Plan 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 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company's contributions were $358,520, $288,283 and $261,153, respectively. Deferred Compensation Plan -------------------------- 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 retirement. Life insurance contracts have been purchased which may be used to fund payments under the plan. Net expenses related to this plan were $103,570, $81,456 and $74,972 for the plan years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Note 14. Regulatory Matters The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by its primary federal regulator, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). 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.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments The following represents the carrying value and estimated fair market value of the Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2002 and 2001:
2002 2001 --------------------------- --------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial Assets Cash and due from banks $ 19,769,712 $ 19,769,712 $ 12,713,482 $ 12,713,482 Interest bearing deposits with banks 1,365,649 1,365,649 5,421,241 5,421,241 Securities available-for-sale 162,276,305 162,276,305 122,567,180 122,567,180 Net loans 303,952,527 305,656,861 260,903,091 262,408,345 Federal funds sold 2,300,000 2,300,000 6,100,000 6,100,000 Financial Liabilities Deposits $432,768,175 $433,735,968 $359,309,007 $360,147,682 Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings 24,606,135 24,606,135 14,628,788 14,628,788
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 ----------------------- The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for these instruments approximate those assets' fair values because of their immediate and shorter-term maturities. Securities Available-for-Sale ----------------------------- Fair values for investment 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. 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. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. 29 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 15. Continued 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 certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value. Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings --------------------------------- The fair value of the portion of Federal Home Loan Bank advances that matures within 90 days approximates its fair value. For longer term maturities, the fair value 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. Note 16. Stock Options The Company has a directors' stock compensation plan and employees' long-term incentive plan. Under the directors' plan the Company may grant options up to 105,000 shares of common stock. The price of each option shall be equal to the market price determined as of the option grant date. Options granted are exercisable after 6 months and shall expire after 10 years. Under the employees' incentive plan the Company may grant options up to 7 percent of the total number of shares of common stock, which may be issued and outstanding. Incentive options must be granted within 10 years of the adoption of the plan and shall expire no later than 10 years from the grant date. The exercise price shall be equal to the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant. 30 CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 16. Continued The Company applies APB Opinion 25 in accounting for the compensation and long-term incentive plan. Accordingly, there was no compensation cost related to options granted during the years ending December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. Had compensation cost been determined on the basis of fair value pursuant to FASB Statement No. 123 using publicly traded share prices as a basis of determining fair values, net income and earnings per share would have been reduced as follows: 2002 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Income As reported $ 6,298,064 $ 5,710,898 Pro forma $ 6,187,674 $ 5,657,245 Basic Earnings Per Share As reported $ 1.27 $ 1.15 Pro forma $ 1.25 $ 1.14 Diluted Earnings Per Share As reported $ 1.26 $ 1.15 Pro forma $ 1.24 $ 1.14 The fair value of each option is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were made in estimating fair values in 2002 and 2001: Assumption 2002 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dividend yield 1.5% 1.5% Risk-free interest rate 4% 6.25% Expected life 7 years 10 years Expected volatility 15.00% 16.05% CITIZENS HOLDING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY Years Ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 16.
