ITEM 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

BACKGROUND AND CURRENT OPERATIONS

General

Peoples Financial Corporation (the “Company”) was organized as a one bank holding company in 1984. The Company is headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi. At December 31, 2006, the Company operates in the state of Mississippi through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Peoples Bank, Biloxi, Mississippi (the “Bank”). The Company is engaged, through this subsidiary, in the banking business. The Bank is the Company’s principal asset and primary source of revenue.

The Main Office, operations center and asset management and trust services of the Bank are located in downtown Biloxi, MS. At December 31, 2006, the Bank also had fifteen (15) branches located throughout Harrison, Hancock, Jackson and Stone Counties. The Bank has automated teller machines (“ATM”) at its Main Office, all branch locations and at numerous non-proprietary locations.

The Bank Subsidiary

The Company’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary is The Peoples Bank, which was originally chartered in 1896 in Biloxi, Mississippi. The Bank is a state chartered bank whose deposits are insured under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. The legal name of the Bank was changed to The Peoples Bank, Biloxi, Mississippi, during 1991.

Most of the Bank’s business originates from trade area of Harrison, Hancock, Stone and Jackson Counties in Mississippi; however, some business is obtained from other counties in southern Mississippi.

Nonbank Subsidiary

In 1985, PFC Service Corp. (“PFC”) was chartered and began operations as the second wholly-owned subsidiary of Peoples Financial Corporation. The purpose of PFC was principally the leasing of automobiles and equipment. PFC is inactive at this time.

Products And Services

The Bank currently offers a variety of services to individuals and small to middle market businesses within its trade area.

The Bank’s primary lending focus is to offer business, commercial, real estate, construction, personal and installment loans, with an emphasis on commercial lending. Concentrations in the hotel/motel

1

and gaming industries are monitored by the Company. Each loan officer has board approved lending limits on the principal amount of secured and unsecured loans that can be approved for a single borrower without prior approval of the loan committee. All loans, however, must meet the credit underwriting standards and loan policies of the Bank.

Deposit services include interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and IRA accounts. The Bank also offers a non-deposit funds management account, which is not insured by the FDIC. The Bank generally provides depository accounts to individuals and small and middle market businesses in its trade area at interest rates consistent with market conditions.

The Bank’s Asset Management and Trust Services Department offers personal trust, agencies and estate services, including living and testamentary trusts, executorships, guardianships, and conservatorships. Benefit accounts maintained by the Department primarily include self-directed individual retirement accounts. Escrow management, stock transfer and bond paying agency accounts are available to corporate customers.

The Bank also offers a variety of other functions including collection services, wire services, safe deposit box facilities, night drop facilities, cash management and Internet banking. The Bank has more than thirty ATMs at its branch locations and other off-site, non-proprietary locations, providing bank customers access to their depository accounts. The Bank is a member of the PULSE network.

There has been no significant change in the kind of services offered by the Bank during the last three fiscal years.

Customers

The Bank has a large number of customers acquired over a period of many years and is not dependent upon a single customer or upon a few customers. The Bank also provides services to customers representing a wide variety of industries including seafood, retail, hospitality, hotel/motel, gaming and construction. While the Company has pursued external growth strategies on a limited basis, its primary focus has been on internal growth by the Bank through the establishment of new branch locations and an emphasis on strong customer relationships.

Employees

At December 31, 2006, the Bank employed 211 full-time employees and 16 part-time employees. The Company has no employees who are not employees of the bank subsidiary. Through the bank, employees receive salaries and benefits, which include 401(k), ESOP, cafeteria plan, life, health and disability insurance. The Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

2

Competition

The Bank is in direct competition with numerous local and regional commercial banks as well as other non-bank institutions. Interest rates paid and charged on deposits and loans are the primary competitive factors within the Bank’s trade area. The Bank also competes for deposits and loans with insurance companies, finance companies, brokerage houses and credit unions. The principal competitive factors in the markets for deposits and loans are interest rates paid and charged. The Company also competes through efficiency, quality of customer service, range of services and products it provides, the convenience of its branch and ATM locations and the accessibility of its staff. The Bank intends to continue its strategy of being a local, community bank offering traditional bank services and providing quality service in its local trade area.

Miscellaneous

The Bank holds no patents, licenses (other than licenses required to be obtained from appropriate bank regulatory agencies), franchises or concessions.

The Bank has not engaged in any research activities relating to the development of new services or the improvement of existing services except in the normal course of its business activities. The Bank presently has no plans for any new line of business requiring the investment of a material amount of total assets.

Available Information

The Company maintains an internet website at www.thepeoples.com. The Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders is available on the Company’s website. Also available through the website is a link to the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Information on the Company’s website is not incorporated into this Form 10-K or the Company’s other securities filings and is not part of them.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

Bank Holding Company

The Company is required to file certain reports with, and otherwise comply with the rules and regulations of, the Securities and Exchange Commission under federal securities laws. The common stock of the Company is listed on the NASDAQ capital market exchange, such listing subjecting the Company to compliance with the exchange’s requirements with respect to reporting and other rules and regulations.

The Company is a registered one bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is subject to extensive regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As such, the Company is required to file periodic reports and additional information required by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve Board may also make examinations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

3

The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board 1) before it may acquire substantially all the assets of any bank or ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if, after the acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5 percent of the voting shares of the bank, 2) before it or any of its subsidiaries other than a bank may acquire all of the assets of a bank, 3) before it may merge with any other bank holding company or 4) before it may engage in permissible non-banking activities.

A bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of, voting shares of any company engaged in non-banking activities. One of the principal exceptions to this prohibition is for activities found by the Federal Reserve to be so closely related to banking or the managing or controlling of banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Some of the activities the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be closely related to banking are the making and servicing of loans; performing certain bookkeeping or data processing services; acting as fiduciary or investment or financial advisor; making equity or debt investments in corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare; and leasing transactions if the functional equivalent of an extension of credit and mortgage banking or brokerage. The Bank Holding Company Act does not place territorial limitations on permissible bank-related activities of bank holding companies. Despite prior approval, however, the Federal Reserve has the power to order a holding company or its subsidiaries to terminate any activity or its control of any subsidiary when it has reasonable cause to believe that continuation of such activity or control of such subsidiary constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of any bank subsidiary of that holding company.

A bank holding company and its subsidiaries are also prohibited from acquiring any voting shares of or interest in, any banks located outside the state in which the operations of the bank holding company’s subsidiaries are located, unless the acquisition is specially authorized by the statute of the state in which the target is located. Mississippi has enacted legislation which authorizes interstate acquisitions of banking organizations by bank holding companies outside of Mississippi, and also interstate branching transactions, subject to certain conditions and restrictions.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the “Financial Services Modernization Act”) allows bank holding companies to engage in a wider range of financial activities. In order to engage in such activities, which, among others, include underwriting and selling insurance; providing financial, investment or economic advisory services; and underwriting, dealing in or making a market in securities, a bank holding company must elect to become a financial holding company. The Act also authorized the establishment of financial subsidiaries in order to engage in such financial activities, with certain limitations.

The Act also contains a number of other provisions affecting the Company’s operations. One of the most important of these provisions relates to the issue of privacy. Federal banking regulators were authorized by the Act to adopt rules designed to protect the financial privacy of consumers. These rules implemented notice requirements and restrictions on a financial institution’s ability to disclose nonpublic personal information about consumers to non-affiliated third parties.

4

As of the date of this Form 10-K, the Company has not taken any action to adopt either the financial holding company or the financial subsidiary structures that were authorized by the Act.

The Federal Reserve has adopted capital adequacy guidelines for use in its examination and regulation of bank holding companies. The regulatory capital of a bank holding company under applicable federal capital adequacy guidelines is particularly important in the Federal Reserve’s evaluation of a holding company and any applications by the bank holding company to the Federal Reserve. A financial institution’s failure to meet minimum regulatory capital standards can lead to other penalties, including termination of deposit insurance or appointment of a conservator or receiver for the financial institution. Risk-based capital ratios are the primary measure of regulatory capital presently applicable to bank holding companies. Risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.

The Federal Reserve rates bank holding companies by a component and composite 1 — 5 rating system. This system is designed to help identify institutions which require special attention. Financial institutions are assigned ratings in the areas of capital adequacy, asset quality, management capability, the quality and level of earnings, the adequacy of liquidity and sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations based on the evaluation of the financial condition and operations.

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. There are various restrictions that limit the ability of the Bank to finance, pay dividends or otherwise supply funds to the Company. In addition, the Bank is subject to certain restrictions on any extension of credit to the bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries, on investments in the stock or other securities thereof and on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. Further, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with extensions of credit, leases or sale of property, or furnishing of services.

Bank Subsidiary

The Bank is subject to the regulation of and examination by the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance (“Department of Banking”) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Areas subject to regulation include required reserves, investments, loans, mergers, branching, issuance of securities, payment of dividends, capital adequacy, management practices and other areas of banking operations. These regulatory authorities examine such areas as loan and investment quality, management practices, procedures and practices and other aspects of operations. In addition to these regular examinations, the Bank must furnish periodic reports to its regulatory authorities containing a full and accurate statement of affairs. The Bank is subject to deposit insurance assessments by the FDIC and assessments by the Department of Banking to provide operating funds for that agency.

5

The Bank is a member of the FDIC, and its deposits are insured by law by the Bank Insurance Fund (“BIF”). On December 19, 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) was enacted. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended by Section 302 of FDICIA, calls for risk-related deposit insurance assessment rates. This risk classification of an institution will determine its deposit insurance premium. Assignment to one of the three capital groups, coupled with assignment to one of three supervisory sub-groups, determines which of the nine risk classifications is appropriate for an institution.

In general, FDICIA subjects bank and bank holding companies to significantly increased regulation and supervision. FDICIA increased the borrowing authority of the FDIC in order to recapitalize the BIF, and the future borrowings are to be repaid by increased assessments on FDIC member banks. Other significant provisions of FDICIA require a new regulatory emphasis linking supervision to bank capital levels. Also, federal banking regulators are required to take prompt regulatory action with respect to depository institutions that fall below specified capital levels and to draft non-capital regulatory measures to assure bank safety.

FDICIA further requires regulators to perform annual on-site bank examinations, places limits on real estate lending and tightens audit requirements. The new legislation eliminated the “too big to fail” doctrine, which protects uninsured deposits of large banks, and restricts the ability of undercapitalized banks to obtain extended loans from the Federal Reserve Board discount window. FDICIA also imposed new disclosure requirements relating to fees charged and interest paid on checking and deposit accounts. Most of the significant changes brought about by FDICIA required new regulations.

In addition to regulating capital, the FDIC has broad authority to prevent the development or continuance of unsafe or unsound banking practices. Pursuant to this authority, the FDIC has adopted regulations that restrict preferential loans and loan amounts to “affiliates” and “insiders” of banks, require banks to keep information on loans to major stockholders and executive officers and bar certain director and officer interlocks between financial institutions. The FDIC is also authorized to approve mergers, consolidations and assumption of deposit liability transactions between insured banks and between insured banks and uninsured banks or institutions to prevent capital or surplus diminution in such transactions where the resulting, continuing or assumed bank is an insured nonmember state bank.

Although the Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, it is subject to Federal Reserve regulations that require the Bank to maintain reserves against transaction accounts, primarily checking accounts. Because reserves generally must be maintained in cash or in non-interest bearing accounts, the effect of the reserve requirement is to increase the cost of funds for the Bank.

The earnings of commercial banks and bank holding companies are affected not only by general economic conditions but also by the policies of various governmental regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board. In particular, the Federal Reserve Board regulates money and credit conditions, and interest rates, primarily through open market operations in U. S. Government securities, varying the discount rate of member and nonmember bank borrowing,

6

setting reserve requirements against bank deposits and regulating interest rates payable by banks on certain deposits. These policies influence to a varying extent the overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments, deposits and the interest rates charged on loans. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future.

Summary

The foregoing is a brief summary of certain statutes, rules and regulations affecting the Company and the Bank. It is not intended to be an exhaustive discussion of all the statutes and regulations having an impact on the operations of the Company or the Bank. Additional legislation may be enacted at the federal or state level which may alter the structure, regulation and competitive relationships of financial institutions. It cannot be predicted whether and what form any of these proposals will be adopted or the extent to which the business of the Company or the Bank may be affected thereby.

SUPPLEMENTAL STATISTICAL INFORMATION

Schedules I-A through VII present certain statistical information regarding the Company. This information is not audited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements found at pages 10 — 29 of the 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity and Interest Rates and Differentials

Net Interest Income, the difference between Interest Income and Interest Expense, is the most significant component of the Company’s earnings. For interest analytical purposes, Management adjusts Net Interest Income to a “taxable equivalent” basis using a 34% Federal Income Tax rate on tax-exempt items (primarily interest on municipal securities).

Another significant statistic in the analysis of Net Interest Income is the effective interest differential, also called the net yield on earning assets. The net yield is the difference between the rate of interest earned on earning assets and the effective rate paid for all funds, non-interest bearing as well as interest bearing. Since a portion of the Bank’s deposits do not bear interest, such as demand deposits, the rate paid for all funds is lower than the rate on interest bearing liabilities alone.

Recognizing the importance of interest differential to total earnings, Management places great emphasis on managing interest rate spreads. Although interest differential is affected by national, regional and area economic conditions, including the level of credit demand and interest rates, there are significant opportunities to influence interest differential through appropriate loan and investment policies which are designed to maximize the interest differential while maintaining sufficient liquidity and availability of “incremental funds” for purposes of meeting existing commitments and investment in lending and investment opportunities that may arise.

7

The information included in Schedule I-F presents the change in interest income and interest expense along with the reason(s) for these changes. The change attributable to volume is computed as the change in volume times the old rate. The change attributable to rate is computed as the change in rate times the old volume. The change in rate/volume is computed as the change in rate times the change in volume.

Summary of Loan Loss Experience

In the normal course of business, the Bank assumes risks in extending credit. The Bank manages these risks through its lending policies, loan review procedures and the diversification of its loan portfolio. Although it is not possible to predict loan losses with complete accuracy, Management constantly reviews the characteristics of the loan portfolio to determine its overall risk profile and quality.

Constant attention to the quality of the loan portfolio is achieved by the loan review process. Throughout this ongoing process, Management is advised of the condition of individual loans and of the quality profile of the entire loan portfolio. Any loan or portion thereof which is classified “loss” by regulatory examiners or which is determined by Management to be uncollectible because of such factors as the borrower’s failure to pay interest or principal, the borrower’s financial condition, economic conditions in the borrower’s industry or the inadequacy of underlying collateral, is charged-off.

Provisions are charged to operating expense based upon historical loss experience, and additional amounts are provided when, in the opinion of Management, such provisions are not adequate based upon the current factors affecting loan collectibility.

The allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan category is based on the factors mentioned in the preceding paragraphs. Accordingly, since all of these factors are subject to change, the allocation is not necessarily indicative of the breakdown of future losses.

Hurricane Katrina destroyed tens of thousands of homes and businesses in the Company’s trade area, thus resulting in potential loan losses to the Bank subsidiary. An evaluation of the loan portfolio to assess the impact of Hurricane Katrina was initiated by the Company as soon as possible, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and established loan review policies. The comments concerning the provision for loan losses and the allowance for loan losses presented in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” at pages 5 — 9 of the 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders and “Note A — Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” at pages 15 - 29 of the 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders are incorporated herein by reference.

Capital Resources

The information included in Note J — Shareholders’ Equity in the 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1a — RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Company’s stock involves a number of risks. Investors should carefully consider the following risks as well as the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the documents incorporated by reference before making an investment decision. The realization of any of the risks described below could have a material adverse affect on the Company and the price of its common stock.

RISKS RELATING TO THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

Greater loan losses than expected may adversely affect the Company’s earnings.

The investment and loan portfolio subject the Company to credit risk. Credit losses are inherent in the banking business and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results. The Company makes various assumptions and judgments about the collectibility of its loan portfolio and provides an allowance for estimated loan losses based on a number of factors. The Company believes that its current allowance for loan losses is adequate. However, if the Company’s assumptions or judgments prove to be incorrect, the allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses. The Company may have to increase its allowance in the future in response to the request of its primary banking regulators, to adjust for changing conditions and assumptions or as a result of any deterioration in the quality of the Company’s loan portfolio. The actual amount of future provisions for loan losses cannot be determined at this time and may vary from the amounts of past provisions.

The Company has a high concentration of loans secured by real estate, and a downturn in the real estate market could materially and adversely affect earnings.

A significant portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is dependent on real estate. At December 31, 2006, approximately 81% of the Company’s loans had real estate as a primary or secondary component of collateral. The collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment if the borrower defaults and may deteriorate in value during the time the credit is extended. An adverse change in the economy affecting the value of real estate generally or in the Company’s trade area specifically could significantly impair the value of the collateral and the ability to sell the collateral

27

upon foreclosure. Furthermore, it is likely that the Company would be required to increase the provision for loan losses. If the Company were required to liquidate the collateral securing a loan to satisfy the debit during a period of reduced real estate value or to increase the allowance for loan losses, the Company’s profitability and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

The Company has a high concentration of exposure to a number of industries.

The Company has a concentration of loan exposure to the hotel/motel and gaming industries. At December 31, 2006, these exposures were $60,000,000 and $25,000,000 or 15% and 6%, respectively, of the total loan portfolio. Given the size of these relationships, a significant loss in either of these portfolios could materially and adversely affect the Company’s earnings.

An economic downturn or a natural disaster, especially one affecting the Company’s trade area, could adversely affect the Company.

The Company’s primary trade area includes four of the six counties in south Mississippi. With the exception of a number of credits that are considered out of area, the Company’s credit exposure in generally limited to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. As a result, the Company is at risk from adverse economic or business developments, including a downturn in real estate values, and natural disasters including hurricanes, floods and tornadoes. If the Mississippi Gulf Coast economy experiences an overall decline as a result of these adverse developments or natural disasters, the rates of delinquencies, foreclosures, bankruptcies and losses on the loan portfolio would probably increase substantially and the value of real estate or other collateral could be adversely affected.

The Company is subject to industry competition which may have an impact on its success.

The profitability of the Company depends on its ability to compete successfully. The Company operates in a highly competitive financial services environment. Certain competitors are larger and may have more resources than the Company does. The Company faces competition in its trade area from other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, internet banks, finance companies, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking firms and other financial intermediaries. Some of these nonbank competitors are not subject to the same extensive regulations that govern the Company or the Bank and may have greater flexibility in competing for business. Increased competition could require the Company to increase the rates paid on deposits or lower the rates offered on loans, which could adversely affect and also limit future growth and earnings prospects.

The Company’s profitability is vulnerable to interest rate fluctuations.

The Company’s profitability is dependent to a large extent on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rate of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Conversely, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest- bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income.

28

In periods of increasing interest rates, loan originations may decline, depending on the performance of the overall economy, which may adversely affect income from these lending activities. Also, increases in interest rates could adversely affect the market value of fixed income assets. In addition, an increase in the general level of interest rates may affect the ability of certain borrowers to pay the interest and principal on their obligations.

Changes in the policies of monetary authorities and other government action could adversely affect the Company’s profitability.

Many factors affect the demand for loans and the ability to attract deposits, including changes in government economic and monetary policies, particularly the Federal Reserve, modifications to tax, banking and credit laws and regulations, national, state and local economic growth rates, employment rates and population trends. The Company’s operating success is heavily dependent upon the ability to maintain a sufficient interest margin between the rates of interest received on loans and investments and the rates paid on deposits and other borrowings. The monetary and economic factors enumerated above, and the need to pay rates sufficient to attract deposits, may adversely affect the Company’s ability to maintain an interest margin sufficient to result in operating profits.

The Company is subject to regulation by various federal and state entities.

The Company is subject to the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Department of Banking. New regulations issued by these agencies may adversely affect the Company’s ability to carry on its business activities. The Company is also subject to various other federal and state laws and certain changes in these laws and regulations may adversely affect the Company’s operations. Noncompliance with certain of these regulations may impact the Company’s business plans.

The Company is also subject to the accounting rules and regulations of the SEC and the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Changes in accounting rules could adversely affect the reported financial statements or results of operations of the Company and may also require additional effort or cost to implement.

The Company is subject to the requirements under The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to the assessment of internal controls over financial reporting.

Beginning with the Form 10-K for 2006, the Company’s management is required to report on, and the independent auditors to attest to, the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting for each fiscal year end. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess internal controls are complex and require significant documentation and testing. In connection with this effort, the Company has and will continue to incur increased expenses and diversion of Management’s time and other internal resources. In connection with the attestation process by the Company’s independent auditors, Management may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation for any requested improvements and receiving a favorable attestation. If the Company cannot make the required report, or if the Company’s external auditors

29

are unable to provide an unqualified attestation, investor confidence and the Company’s common stock could be adversely affected.

The Company is subject to anti-terrorism and money laundering legislation.

The Company is subject to the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), the Bank Secrecy Act, and rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (the “OFAC”). These statutes and related rules and regulations impose requirements and limitations on specified financial transactions and account relationships, intended to guard against money laundering and terrorism financing. Noncompliance with these rules and regulations may adversely affect the Company’s operations and may impact the Company’s business plans.

The Company relies heavily on technology and computer systems, and advances and changes in technology could significantly affect business.

The Company’s ability to compete depends on the ability to continue to adapt technology on a timely and cost-effective basis to meet customers’ demands. In addition, the Company’s operations are susceptible to negative effects from computer system failures, communication and energy disruption and unethical individuals with technological ability to cause disruptions or failures of data processing systems.

RISKS RELATING TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK

Securities issued by the Company are not FDIC insured.

The Company’s common stock is not a savings or deposit account or other obligation of the Bank and is not insured by the FDIC, the Bank Insurance Fund or any other government agency or instrumentality, or any private insurer and is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.

The directors of the Company and executive management own a significant number of shares of stock, allowing further control over business and corporate affairs.

The Company’s directors and executive officers beneficially own approximately 19% of the outstanding common stock of Peoples Financial Corporation. As a result, in addition to their day-to-day management roles, they will be able to exercise significant influence on the Company’s business as shareholders, including influence over election of the Board and the authorization of other corporate actions requiring shareholder approval.

Provisions of the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, Mississippi law and state and federal banking regulations could delay or prevent a takeover by a third party.

Certain provisions of the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and of state and federal law may make it more difficult for someone to acquire control of the Company. Under federal law, subject to certain exemptions, a person, entity or group must notify the federal banking agencies

30

before acquiring 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a bank holding company, including the Company’s shares. Banking agencies review the acquisition to determine if it will result in a change of control. The banking agencies have 60 days to act on the notice, and take in to account several factors, including the resources of the acquirer and the antitrust effects of the acquisition. There are also Mississippi statutory provisions and provisions in the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws that may be used to delay or block a takeover attempt. As a result, these statutory provisions and provisions in the Company’s articles and bylaws could result in the Company being less attractive to a potential acquirer.

The Company’s future ability to pay dividends is subject to restrictions.

Since the Company is a holding company with no significant assets other than the Bank, the Company has no material source of funds other than dividends received from the Bank. Therefore, the ability to pay dividends to the shareholders will depend on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company. Moreover, banks and bank holding companies are both subject to certain federal and state regulatory restrictions on cash dividends.

ITEM 1b — UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2 — PROPERTIES

The principal properties of the Company are its 16 business locations, including the Main Office, which is located at 152 Lameuse Street in Biloxi, MS. All such properties are owned by the Company, with the exception of the Pass Christian location. The branch facility which had been located at 125 Henderson Avenue in Pass Christian was completely destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. Since October 2005, the Pass Christian Branch has been located in a modular branch facility located at 129 Fleitas Avenue, which is owned by the City of Pass Christian. While public utilities and services are being restored, city property was made available to local businesses. The Company expects to rebuild a permanent branch facility in the City of Pass Christian during 2007. The Money Center operations of the Bank have been transferred to the Main Office due to the significant damage experienced by the building in Gulfport in which it had been located. All other branch facilities that had been damaged by Hurricane Katrina had been repaired by December 31, 2006. The address of the Main Office and branch locations are listed on page 35 of the 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders.

ITEM 9 — CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On August 9, 2006, the Audit Committee accepted the resignation of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Piltz, Williams, LaRosa & Company, and approved the appointment of Porter Keadle Moore, LLP as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.

In connection with the audits of each of the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, and the subsequent interim period through August 9, 2006, there were no disagreements with Piltz, Williams, LaRosa & Company on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.

The audit reports of Piltz, Williams, LaRosa & Company on the consolidated financial statements of Peoples Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

Piltz, Williams, LaRosa & Company provided a letter of concurrence, pursuant to Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, stating agreement with the above statement as an exhibit to the required Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 9, 2006.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13(a) — 15 (f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In meeting its responsibility, management relies on its accounting and other related control systems. The internal control systems are designed to ensure that transactions are properly authorized and recorded in the Company’s financial records and to safeguard the Company’s assets from material loss or misappropriation.

Management of the Company, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, using the criteria set forth in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our assessment included a review of the documentation of controls, evaluations of the design of the internal control system and tests of operating effectiveness of the internal controls. Based on the assessment, management has concluded that the Company had effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 has been audited by Porter Keadle Moore, LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is incorporated herein by reference.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS :

If 2005 is remembered as the year of destruction, then 2006 will be considered the first year of our long reconstruction and recovery process.

Perhaps the most important achievement in 2006 was the recognition of the enormity of the job ahead. We took the first steps in reclaiming our Gulf Coast. I think everyone would agree that much was accomplished in the first year after Katrina.

Of course, much more work lies ahead. Your company and your bank spent 2006 repairing the immediate damage of Katrina. We were able to repair and reoccupy every permanent branch except for Pass Christian, which was completely destroyed. More importantly, we moved beyond repair and reconstruction to renewal and revival by resuming our original long-term growth plan.

This is why the next few pages of this year’s annual report are titled The Year in Review & Preview. We enjoyed a good year in 2006, but we are truly excited about 2007. We have not been able to say that for a couple of years.

No one can argue that the pace of our rebuilding efforts stalled in the second half of the year, primarily due to a combination of the slowdown in the flow of funds and the uncertainty caused by a crisis in the property insurance industry. Beginning in 2007, it seems we are reaching a satisfactory conclusion to the issues, and the resurgence and rebuilding of the Mississippi Gulf Coast will pick up the pace—perhaps dramatically.

During 2006 our communities took the time and made the concerted effort to define what we want to be in the future. During 2007 we will take the first major steps in building the renaissance along the Gulf Coast, moving from concepts on paper to realization in bricks and mortar.

Here on the Gulf Coast, we are fortunate in having the gaming industry, our major economic driver, move back into operation so quickly. With the help of our state legislature, casinos were allowed to operate on land. This single step facilitated the rapid reopening of several businesses whose barges were washed up on shore and would have required months to replace and refurbish to get back in operation. Instead, some of our operators were able to convert their lobbies to gaming facilities and begin operations in a matter of weeks, generating jobs, tax revenue and economic activity. By the end of 2006, a total of ten casinos were in operation.

Our gaming industry drives our tourism industry. Our challenge ahead is to rebuild the infrastructure of rooms, restaurants and attractions that will create the complete experience to bring visitors back to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. In that regard, it is gratifying to see many of our heritage restaurant brands reopen and the number of available rooms slowly but surely increase.

One shining example of our area’s revival was the very successful renewal of Cruisin’ the Coast, presented by The Peoples Bank. After the 2005 event was lost to weather, the 2006 event drew some 80% of the record-setting number of registrants who attended in 2004. Considering the reduced number of hotel rooms and show venues available, that is a remarkable accomplishment. Once again, the Wednesday Block Party in downtown Biloxi was held to great success right in front of our Main Office, and we are proud to be the presenting sponsor of the Coast’s largest single tourism event.

Despite these triumphs, the renewal effort continues to be a lot of hard work. We are faced with rebuilding our homes and our lives, as well as our economy. A good many of our great team at The Peoples Bank have yet to move back to their homes. In spite of their personal challenges, our team members have never wavered in their commitment to provide quality financial products and outstanding service to our many customers. I hope you join me in commending their efforts, without which we would simply cease to function.

I also want to thank our Board of Directors for providing the leadership and counsel that has taken our company and bank through the most trying, most challenging situation we are ever likely to experience in our lifetimes. The fact that The Peoples Bank is back on the road of its long-term strategic plan, building new branches, renovating existing ones and expanding our Main Office demonstrates the wisdom of our Board’s vision. Together, our team will continue working every day to earn your trust as we restore our community.

Sincerely,

Chevis C. Swetman
Chairman of the Board, President & CEO

MAIN OFFICE EXPANSION

The Main Office extension includes 30,500 square feet of space on four floors that will match our existing historic building in finishes, color and design. The second floor of the new extension will also include meeting and training rooms to enhance employee development and continuing education programs.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW & PREVIEW

Financially, the Company and the bank enjoyed a very successful year with a large increase in earnings fueled by substantial gains in loan volume and net interest income.

For the year, loan volume rose to $401 million, 15% higher than 2005. While that figure represents a significant increase, earlier in the year we had projected a 25% growth in loan volume. The slower pace is a result of the deceleration of money flow and the construction activity that the entire area experienced in the latter part of 2006.

We believe the slowdown is only temporary, the product of an atmosphere of uncertainty caused by rising construction costs, the availability and affordability of insurance, building height requirements and construction codes. Once these underlying questions are answered, the pace of rebuilding will inevitably rebound and the recovery of our Gulf Coast will accelerate.

Our net interest income grew 21%, faster than loan volume, benefiting from our loan portfolio’s 60/40 ratio of floating to fixed rates and from higher earnings in our investment portfolio due to our larger deposit base.

STOCK DIVIDEND RAISED TWICE

As a result of the Company’s increased earnings and the confidence that these levels will be maintained over the next several years of reconstruction of the Coast, the Board of Directors increased the common stock dividend twice during 2006.

In June, the Board increased the semi-annual dividend to $.21 per share, followed in December by another increase to $.23 per share. The total 2006 dividend of $.41 per share is 7.9% higher than the dividend paid in 2005.

NEW CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATIONS BEGIN

Beyond the financial results, one of our most significant achievements of 2006 was the completion of our branch repair and reconstruction efforts. By the end of the year, the bank had moved back into every branch except Pass Christian, which was completely destroyed to the slab.

As we move into 2007, we once again start to look forward. We have begun construction on a long-planned expansion to our Main Office that will significantly increase space for our back-office operations.

The Main Office extension includes 30,500 square feet of space on four floors that will match our existing historic building in finishes, color and design. The facade of the expansion will add a complementary design to the streetscape of historic Howard Avenue in downtown Biloxi.

The new building will connect to the present Main Office by means of a second-level bridge so that our existing drive-up teller lanes will not be affected. The second floor of the new extension will also include meeting and training rooms to enhance employee development and continuing education programs.

PASS CHRISTIAN BRANCH

The new Pass Christian branch, located on the corner of Davis and Second streets, is intended to support the objectives of the post-Katrina charettes that envision a new urbanism, pedestrian-friendly design for downtown Pass Christian. The 6,000 square foot building features architectural elements that recall the Garden District of New Orleans and some of the original buildings that formerly stood in downtown Pass Christian. Existing live oaks on the property will be preserved and incorporated into the overall landscaping of the property.

BRANCHES BUILT AND RENOVATED

Our branch system will also be significantly improved, with new buildings in Gautier and Pass Christian and a major renovation at our Orange Grove location.

The new Pass Christian branch, located on the corner of Davis and Second streets, is intended to support the objectives of the post-Katrina charettes that envision a new urbanism, pedestrian-friendly design for downtown Pass Christian.

The 6,000 square foot building features architectural elements that recall the Garden District of New Orleans and some of the original buildings that formerly stood in downtown Pass Christian. The design elements include a stucco finish, double-hung windows and shutters and wrought-iron porch elements, with metal roofs covering the drive-through tellers and the front entrance.

Existing live oaks on the property will be preserved and incorporated into the overall landscaping of the property, which will include approximately 22 parking spaces. The new facility is expected to be completed in Fall 2007.

Our Gautier branch opened in early February, 2007 to replace the branch that we established in an older building in 2002 to serve our growing customer base in Jackson County. We were able to seize the opportunity to build a new branch with a design that offers more convenience and a better banking experience for our customers in the Gautier area.

The renovation of our Orange Grove branch was part of our long-term facility upgrade program that was only delayed but never abandoned in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Once we completed the repairs to our Bay St. Louis branch—which itself had been renovated only months before the storm—we moved the temporary branch facility to Orange Grove to begin the renovation project. We expect to move back into the renovated branch by the end of 2007.

The following presents Management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Peoples Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. These comments highlight the significant events for these years and should be considered in combination with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report.

FORWARD — LOOKING INFORMATION

Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 in an effort to encourage corporations to provide information about a company’s anticipated future financial performance. This act provides a safe harbor for such disclosure which protects the companies from unwarranted litigation if actual results are different from management expectations. This report contains forward-looking statements and reflects industry conditions, company performance and financial results. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties which could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ from the anticipated results and expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The Company’s single most critical accounting policy relates to its allowance for loan losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of its borrowers to make loan payments. If there was a deterioration of any of the factors considered by Management in evaluating the allowance for loan losses, as discussed in Note A, the estimates of loss would be updated, and additional provisions for loan losses may be required.

OVERVIEW

The year 2006 proved to be another eventful year for the Company on several fronts. Net income for 2006 was $12,768,000, as compared with $5,882,000 for 2005. Earnings for 2006 included primarily income from operations, with net interest income increasing from $24,794,000 in 2005 to $30,109,000 in 2006. Total assets reached $964,023,000 at December 31, 2006, as deposits reached an all-time high of $613,170,000. 2005 earnings included a loss of $281,000, net of taxes, on the sale of available for sale securities and a gain of $538,000, net of taxes, from the Pulse EFT Association Exchange. During 2006, the Company settled all of its outstanding claims relating to damaged branch facilities, lost earnings and extra expenses resulting from Hurricane Katrina. As a result, the Company realized a gain of $2,674,000, net of taxes.

During 2006, considerable resources were dedicated to the restoration of our branch facilities. The Company completed the renovation of our branch locations in Waveland, Bay St. Louis, D’Iberville and Downtown Gulfport. Construction is well underway for a new Money Center building in downtown Biloxi with an expected completion date in the third quarter of 2007. On February 15, 2007, the groundbreaking for the construction of a new Pass Christian branch facility in the city’s downtown business district took place. Long-awaited renovations to our thriving Orange Grove branch have begun.

Management has continued its efforts in evaluating its loan portfolio, especially with respect to potential losses on loans as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Earnings for 2005 were impacted by the net provision of $3,614,000, or $2,385,000, net of taxes. This net provision included a negative provision for the first six months of $999,000,net of tax, and a provision of $3,368,000, net of tax in the third quarter of that year. In 2006, a provision for losses of only $93,000, net of taxes, was recorded for potential losses on overdraft accounts. The initial effort to evaluate losses after the hurricane has proven to be accurate, with no additional losses having been identified since September 2005. The Company continues to evaluate the area’s recovery and rebuilding efforts. While much has been accomplished in the last eighteen months, the vast scale of these efforts is sobering. The pace of the recovery is being impacted by the availability and affordability of insurance, housing for residents and construction workers, availability of workforce and the increasing cost of materials.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Available for Sale Securities

Available for sale securities increased $218,814,000 at December 31, 2006 as compared with December 31, 2005. The increase in these securities is the result of the management of the liquidity position of the bank subsidiary. The growth in funds from deposits and non-deposit products has significantly outpaced the growth in loans during the last eighteen months. These excess funds have been invested in U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government securities. Proceeds from maturities of these investments are funding the purchase of U.S. Agency securities with longer maturities and which are being classified as available for sale. The Company continues to monitor its investment in bonds issued by local municipalities which have been affected by Hurricane Katrina. At December 31, 2006, Management has determined that no provision for loss for these investments is required.

Gross unrealized gains were $694,000, $132,000 and $347,000 and gross unrealized losses were $3,109,000, $4,328,000 and $1,754,000 for available for sale securities at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Losses of $426,000 and $237,000 were realized on the liquidation or sale of available for sale securities in 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Held to Maturity Securities

Held to maturity securities decreased $48,473,000 at December 31, 2006, compared with December 31, 2005. As discussed above, the Company invests primarily in U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agency securities. During 2005, purchases were primarily classified as Held to Maturity and in 2006 purchases were primarily classified as Available for Sale. The Company continues to monitor its investment in bonds issued by local municipalities which have been affected by Hurricane Katrina. At December 31, 2006, Management has determined that no provision for loss for these investments is required.

Gross unrealized gains were $62,000, $93,000 and $113,000, at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively, while gross unrealized losses were $117,000, $132,000 and $2,000 at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. There were no significant realized gains or losses from calls of these investments for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Loans

The Company’s loan portfolio increased $51,848,000 at December 31, 2006, as compared with December 31, 2005. The initial phase of rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina is well underway, yet Management believes that more than a decade will be needed to complete the recovery of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. As the pace of funds available to businesses and individuals from insurance, grants, and other sources has slowed, rebuilding has been negatively impacted. The anticipated loan growth of 25% for 2006 stalled

5

at 15% due to the uncertainty that exists in the market place. Resources available to fund development, rising construction costs and the availability and affordability of insurance are among the concerns creating this uncertainty. These factors, and others, are impacting rebuilding efforts, and will directly impact loan demand and growth during the coming years. See Provision for Loan Losses for further discussion of these and other issues relating to the evaluation of the quality of the loan portfolio and the allowance for loan losses.

Fluctuations in the various categories of loans and information relating to concentrations are presented in Note C.

Bank Premises and Equipment, net:

Bank premises and equipment increased $1,771,000 at December 31, 2006 as compared with December 31, 2005. During 2006, the Company settled its outstanding claims relating to damage to bank premises and equipment as a result of Hurricane Katrina. A gain of $3,793,000 was realized from this settlement and bank premises and equipment with a book value of $1,290,000 were retired. The Company will utilize its insurance proceeds to fund the renovation and construction of new facilities.

Accrued Interest Receivable

Accrued interest receivable increased $3,827,000 at December 31, 2006 as compared with December 31, 2005 due to an increase in interest earning assets and the rate earned on these assets.

Other Assets

Other assets decreased $779,000 at December 31, 2006, as compared with December 31, 2005, due to deferred taxes on deferred gains on the sale and retirement of bank premises.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $20,952,000 at December 31, 2006, as compared with December 31, 2005. Typically, significant increases or decreases in total deposits and/or significant fluctuations among the different types of deposits are anticipated by Management as customers in the casino industry and county and municipal areas reallocate their resources periodically. Since Hurricane Katrina, the Company has realized a significant increase in demand and savings deposits and jumbo certificates of deposit as municipal customers receive federal and state funding and commercial and personal customers receive insurance proceeds, SBA loans, block grants and other forms of assistance. Based on previous post-hurricane experience and expectations with respect to the time frame for reconstruction, the Company anticipates that deposits will continue at or near their present level, and may even increase, during 2007.

The Company has managed its funds including planning the timing of investment maturities and the classification of investments and using other funding sources and their maturity to manage the potential volatility of its deposits.

Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $76,765,000 at December 31, 2006, as compared with December 31, 2005. This fluctuation is directly related to customers’ periodic reallocation of their funds between deposit and non-deposit products.

Other Liabilities

Other liabilities increased $10,336,000 at December 31, 2006, as compared with December 31, 2005, primarily due to the increase in the liability for the Company’s retiree health plan of $1,158,000 due to the adoption of SFAS 158 during 2006 and the liability for investments not yet settled.

Shareholders’ Equity

During 2006, 2005 and 2004, there were significant events that impacted the components of shareholders’ equity. These events are detailed in Note J to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Strength, security and stability have been the hallmark of the Company since its founding in 1985 and of its bank subsidiary since its founding in 1896. A strong capital foundation is fundamental to the continuing prosperity of the Company and the security of its customers and shareholders. There are numerous indicators of capital adequacy including primary capital ratios and risk-based capital ratios. The Five-Year Comparative Summary of Selected Financial Information on page 33 presents these ratios for those periods.

One measure of capital adequacy is the primary capital ratio. As presented in the Five-Year Summary, the Company’s ratios are well above the regulatory minimum of 6.00%, but have declined in 2006 and 2005. This decrease has been the result of the significant increase in assets since September 30, 2005, rather than an indication of a weakening of the Company’s capital position. Management continues to emphasize the importance of maintaining the appropriate capital levels of the Company and has established a goal of maintaining its primary capital ratio at 8.00%, which is the minimum requirement for classification as being “well capitalized” by the banking regulatory authorities.

Bank regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the bank subsidiary without prior approval of the Commissioner of Banking and Consumer Finance of the State of Mississippi. At December 31, 2006, approximately $25,021,000 of undistributed earnings of the bank subsidiary included in consolidated surplus and retained earnings was available for future distribution to the Company as dividends, subject to approval by the Board of Directors. The Company cannot predict what dividends, if any, will be paid in the future, however the Board of Directors has established a goal of achieving a 35% dividend payout ratio.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the amount by which interest income on loans, investments and other interest earning assets exceeds interest expense on deposits and other borrowed funds, is the single largest component of the Company’s income. Management’s objective is to provide the largest possible amount of income while balancing interest rate, credit, liquidity and capital risk. The following schedule summarizes net interest earnings and net yield on interest earning assets (in thousands):

For the years ended December 31,	2006			2005			2004
Total interest income (1)	$	49,335		$	32,759		$	24,841
Total interest expense		18,785			7,550			5,091
Net interest earnings	$	30,550		$	25,209		$	19,750
Net yield on interest earning assets (2)		3.73	%		4.15	%		3.70	%

(1)	All interest earned is reported on a taxable equivalent basis using a tax rate of 34% in 2006, 2005 and 2004.
(2)	Interest income in 2005 included $900,000 received in nonaccrual loan income from prior years not previously recognized. Net yield would have been 4.00% without this interest.

Total interest income increased $16,551,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005, and had increased $7,777,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2004. Coinciding with the Federal Reserve’s increases in the discount rates during this time frame, the Company’s yield on loans has improved, given that the loan portfolio includes a 40%/60% mix of fixed/floating rate term. Interest income has also increased significantly as a result of the increase in volume of the investment portfolio.

6

Total interest expense increased $11,235,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005, and increased $2,459,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2004. During the last five months of 2005, the Company’s deposit and non-deposit funds increased significantly, as discussed previously. During 2005, the increase in interest expense was primarily due to the increase in volume of these funds after Hurricane Katrina. Although deposits continued to increase during 2006, the increase in interest expense is largely attributable to the increase in rates paid on these funds as competition to maintain funds in the Company’s trade area became more robust during the year.

Provision for Loan Losses

Management continuously monitors the Company’s relationships with its loan customers, especially those in concentrated industries such as gaming and hotel/motel, as well as the exposure for out of area loans, and their direct and indirect impact on its operations. A thorough analysis of current economic conditions and the quality of the loan portfolio is conducted on a quarterly basis. Management utilized these analyses, with special emphasis on the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the loan portfolio and underlying collateral, in determining the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2006.

During the first six months of 2005, the Company recorded a negative provision of $1,513,000 as a result of positive events relating to the quality of the loan portfolio. As a result of Hurricane Katrina, however, Management recorded a provision for loan losses of $5,055,000 during the third quarter of 2005. This provision was determined based on established Company methodology in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. In determining potential loan losses as a result of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, the Company evaluated its commercial and residential loan portfolios separately. For commercial loans, Management evaluated potential losses for individual credits based on criteria including post-Katrina value of the collateral, existence and adequacy of insurance and available sources of repayment. Based on this evaluation, a provision for loan losses on commercial loans of $3,455,000 was recorded. The Company evaluated the residential portfolio as a pool of loans. This portfolio was analyzed based on the census tract in which the collateral is located. Assumptions based on this information as well as the post-Katrina value of collateral and existence and adequacy of insurance for the loans within each census tract were developed. Based on this evaluation, a provision of loan losses on residential loans of $1,600,000 for the residential portfolio was recorded. This on-going analysis has been enhanced by the completion of the evaluation of the impact of Katrina on every credit in the residential loan portfolio during the second quarter of 2006.

Management continues its evaluation in recognition of the extraordinary impact of Katrina on its entire trade area, attempting to quantify potential losses in accordance with the Company’s established methodology. Loan delinquencies and deposit overdrafts are closely monitored in order to identify developing problems as early as possible. Additionally, Management has considered the historical data available from the impact of other natural disasters on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and other coastal communities, including the length of time between the storm’s landfall and identification of all losses. Past bank experience with hurricanes and FDIC research have shown that the actual loss position may not be known until 24 months after the event.

Although more than one year has passed, much uncertainty remains regarding the impact of federal and state assistance, settlement of insurance claims, the availability and affordability of windstorm insurance and the rate and pace of recovery in the Company’s trade area. Commercial and personal customers are still assessing their resources and making decisions about their future plans. Meanwhile, construction costs continue to escalate, further impacting recovery efforts. The ability of customers to service their debt must be carefully considered. The slow release of Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), which should have started in July 2006, has added to our uncertainty.

We are just starting to realize the full impact of Hurricane Katrina on insurance coverage going forward. Several carriers have announced their intention to restrict coverage in our trade area. For those carriers continuing to write policies on the Gulf Coast, premiums are increasing significantly. Commercial development has already been negatively impacted by the ability to obtain insurance coverage. Ultimately, the effect of the insurance question may pose a potential risk to a large portion of our loan portfolio.

The Company has identified no additional significant potential losses as a result of Hurricane Katrina since its initial evaluation in September 2005. In fact, some loans which were thought to pose a potential loss during the initial evaluation have shown positive developments. It is also very possible that potential losses, despite the best efforts of the Company, have not yet been identified. Management believes that it is reasonably possible that the actual amount of potential losses as a result of Hurricane Katrina may be less than what was estimated in September 2005, but as a result of the factors discussed above, this amount cannot be reasonably estimated at this time and no provision or negative provision for losses on loans was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The Company recorded a provision of $141,000 during 2006 relating to potential losses on overdrawn deposit accounts.

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate, and as such, events may occur in the future which affect its accuracy. The Company anticipates that it is probable that additional information will be gathered in the coming quarters which may require an adjustment to the allowance for loan losses. Management will continue to closely monitor its portfolio, work with individual customers and take such action as it deems appropriate to accurately report its financial condition and results of operations.

Trust Income and Fees

Trust income and fees increased $193,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005, as a result of an increase in cash management accounts funded with insurance and other proceeds.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts increased $901,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005. In 2005, ATM and NSF fees decreased $660,000 as a result of Hurricane Katrina in August of that year.

Loss on Liquidation, Sale and Calls of Securities

The Company realized a loss of $426,000 and $237,000 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively as a direct result of the sale of investment securities. The sales were executed in order to provide funding for increased loan demand. There were no sales of securities in 2006.

Gain from Settlement of Insurance Proceeds

The Company realized gains in 2006 and 2005 of $3,793,000 and $449,000, respectively, from the settlement of its insurance claims arising from the significant damage to six of the bank subsidiary’s sixteen branch locations and the impact on the operations of the bank subsidiary. Proceeds from insurance settlement will be used to fund the construction and renovation of bank premises during 2007.

7

Other Income

Other income increased $148,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily due to a gain of $250,000 from the sale of “The Mint” trademark in 2006. See Note K for further information.

Salaries and Employee Benefits

Salaries and employee benefits increased $1,635,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company increased salaries and incentives to its employees in order to reward performance and retain personnel within the local, post-Katrina competitive employment conditions.

Net Occupancy

Net occupancy increased $351,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005 as a result of the increase in costs associated with insurance coverage.

Equipment Rentals, Depreciation and Maintenance

Equipment rentals, depreciation and maintenance increased $316,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005. This increase is attributable to an increase in repairs expenditures in 2006 as any post-Katrina repairs in 2005 were covered under insurance.

Other Expense

Other expense increased $279,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of consulting fees of $350,000 associated with the settlement of the Company’s insurance claims. See Note K for further information.

RELATED PARTIES

The Company extends loans to certain officers and directors and their personal business interests, at terms and rates comparable to other loans of similar credit risks. Further disclosure of these transactions is presented in Note C. The Company may also hold deposits for these related parties and/or provide other banking services in the ordinary course of business. Further disclosure of these deposits is presented in Note E. The Company has not currently engaged, nor does it have any plans to engage, in any transactions outside of the ordinary course of banking business with any related persons or entities.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity represents the Company’s ability to adequately provide funds to satisfy demands from depositors, borrowers and other commitments by either converting assets to cash or accessing new or existing sources of funds. Note M discloses information relating to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, including letters of credit and outstanding unused loan commitments. The Company closely monitors the potential effects of funding these commitments on its liquidity position. Management monitors these funds requirements in such a manner as to satisfy these demands and provide the maximum earnings on its earning assets.

The Company monitors its liquidity position closely through a number of methods, including the computation of liquidity and dependency ratios on a monthly basis. The formula for these ratios are those used for the Uniform Bank Performance Report, such that the Company may monitor and evaluate its own risk, but also compare itself to its peers. Management carefully monitors its liquidity needs, particularly relating to potentially volatile deposits. It has continued to implement these procedures since Hurricane Katrina, and the Company has encountered no problems with meeting its liquidity needs.

Deposits, payments of principal and interest on loans, proceeds from maturities of investment securities and earnings on investment securities are the principal sources of funds for the Company. The Company also uses other, non-traditional sources of funds, including borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Company generally anticipates relying on traditional sources of funds, especially deposits and purchases of federal funds, for its liquidity needs in 2007.

Since Hurricane Katrina, the Company’s deposits and non-deposit accounts have increased significantly. Management carefully monitors its liquidity needs, particularly relating to these potentially volatile funds, which are currently invested in U.S. Treasury and U.S. Agency securities. It is anticipated that expanding loan demand in future quarters will be funded from the maturity of these investments. Federal funds sold and federal funds purchased are utilized by the Company to manage its daily liquidity position. At December 31, 2006, the Company was able to purchase federal funds up to $88,000,000.

THE SARBANES — OXLEY ACT OF 2002

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 provides for, among other things, the acceleration of filing deadlines for quarterly and annual reports for companies that meet certain criteria. The Company became an accelerated filer at December 31, 2005. As a result of the impact of Hurricane Katrina, the Company was not able to be compliant with the reporting requirements relating to internal controls over financial reporting in a timely manner. The Company requested relief relating to this reporting from the Securities and Exchange Commission. On March 31, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order providing that the Company will first comply with the disclosure specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 308 of Regulation S-K and Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

OFF — BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company is a party to off-balance-sheet arrangements in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These arrangements include unused commitments to extend credit, which amounted to $149,457,000 at December 31, 2006, and irrevocable letters of credit, which amounted to $3,038,096 at December 31, 2006. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet arrangements. Since some of the commitments and irrevocable letters of credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As discussed previously, the Company carefully monitors its liquidity needs and considers the cash requirements, especially for loan commitments, in making decisions on investments and obtaining funds from its other sources. Further information relating to off-balance-sheet instruments can be found in Note L.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk affecting the Company. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities. Also, the Company does not currently, and has no plans to, engage in trading activities or use derivative or off-balance sheet instruments to manage interest rate risk.

8

The Company has risk management policies in place to monitor and limit exposure to market risk. The Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO), whose members include the chief executive officer and senior and middle management from the financial, lending, investing, and deposit areas, is responsible for the day-to-day operating guidelines, approval of strategies affecting net interest income and coordination of activities within policy limits established by the Board of Directors based on the Company’s tolerance for risk. Specifically, the key objectives of the Company’s asset/liability management program are to manage the exposure of planned net interest margins to unexpected changes due to interest rate fluctuations. These efforts will also affect loan pricing policies, deposit interest rate policies, asset mix and volume guidelines and liquidity. The ALCO Committee utilizes a number of tools in its activities, including software to assist with interest rate risk management and balance sheet management. The ALCO committee reports to the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

The Company has implemented a conservative approach to its asset/liability management. The net interest margin is managed on a daily basis largely as a result of the management of the liquidity needs of the bank subsidiary. The Company generally follows a policy of investing in short term U.S. Treasury Bills and U.S. Agency securities with maturities of two years or less. Due to the low interest rate environment, the duration of investments has been extended up to seven years with call provisions. The loan portfolio consists of a 40%/60% blend of fixed/floating rate loans. It is the general loan policy to offer fixed rate loans with maturities of five years or less. The market is now dictating floating rate loans with maturities up to fifteen years. On the liability side, more than 68% of the deposits are demand and savings transaction accounts. Additionally, more than 75% of the certificates of deposit mature within eighteen months. Since the Company’s deposits are generally not rate-sensitive, they are considered to be core deposits. The short term nature of the financial assets and liabilities allows the Company to meet the dual requirements of liquidity and interest rate risk management.

The interest rate sensitivity tables below provide additional information about the Company’s financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The negative gap in 2007 is mitigated by the nature of the Company’s deposits, whose characteristics have been previously described. The tabular disclosure reflects contractual interest rate repricing dates and contractual maturity dates. Loan maturities have been adjusted for the reserve for loan losses. There have been no adjustments for such factors as prepayment risk, early calls of investments, the effect of the maturity of balloon notes or the early withdrawal of deposits. The Company does not believe that the aforementioned factors have a significant impact on expected maturity.

Interest rate sensitivity at December 31, 2006 was as follows (in thousands):

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PEOPLES FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE A — BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES :

Business of The Company

Peoples Financial Corporation is a one-bank holding company headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi. Its two operating subsidiaries are The Peoples Bank, Biloxi, Mississippi, and PFC Service Corp. Its principal subsidiary is The Peoples Bank, Biloxi, Mississippi, which provides a full range of banking, financial and trust services to individuals and small and commercial businesses operating in Harrison, Hancock, Stone and Jackson counties.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Peoples Financial Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Peoples Bank, Biloxi, Mississippi, and PFC Service Corp. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Accounting

Peoples Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries recognize assets and liabilities, and income and expense, on the accrual basis of accounting. 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 these estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the interpretation will have a material impact on its results from operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company has not yet determined the impact of this Statement on its financial position or results from operations.

In September 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-4, “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements,” (EITF 06-4). EITF 06-4 requires the accrual of the post-retirement benefit over the service period. EITF 06-4 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2007. The Company does not expect the issue will have a material impact on its results from operations or financial position.

Cash and Due from Banks

The Company is required to maintain average reserve balances in its vault or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of these reserve requirements was approximately $24,539,000, $15,133,000 and $11,623,000 for the years ending December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Company’s bank subsidiary maintained account balances in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At December 31, 2006, the bank subsidiary had excess deposits of $8,781,000.

Securities

The classification of securities is determined by Management at the time of purchase. Securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the security until maturity. Securities held to maturity are stated at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held to maturity are classified as available for sale and are stated at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on these securities are recorded in shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.

The amortized cost of available for sale securities and held to maturity securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, determined using the interest method. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest income on securities. Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary would be reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and nature of the issuer, the cause of the decline, especially if related to a change in interest rates, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain the investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. The specific identification method is used to determine realized gains and losses on sales of securities, which are reported as gain or loss on sale and calls of securities in other operating income.

Loans

The loan portfolio consists of commercial and industrial and real estate loans within the Company’s trade area in South Mississippi. The loan policy establishes guidelines relating to pricing, repayment terms, collateral standards including loan to value limits, appraisal and environmental standards, lending authority, lending limits and documentation requirements.

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned income and the allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is recognized over the terms of each loan based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees are recognized as income when received. Revenue from these fees is not material to the financial statements.

The Company places loans on a nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of Management, they possess sufficient uncertainty as to timely collection

15

of interest or principal so as to preclude the recognition in reported earnings of some or all of the contractual interest. Accrued interest on loans classified as nonaccrual is reversed at the time the loans are placed on nonaccrual. Interest received on nonaccrual loans is applied against principal. Loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current or has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The Company’s impaired loans include performing and non-performing major loans for which full payment of principal or interest is not expected. The Company calculates an allowance required for impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of its collateral. If the recorded investment in the impaired loan exceeds the measure of fair value, a valuation allowance is required as a component of the allowance for loan losses. Changes to the valuation allowance are recorded as a component of the provision for loan losses.

Generally, loans which become 90 days delinquent are reviewed relative to collectibility. Unless such loans are in the process of terms revision to bring to a current status or foreclosure or in the process of collection, those loans deemed uncollectible are charged off against the allowance account.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against earnings. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is based on Management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions and is an amount that Management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses on loans existing at the reporting date. The evaluation includes Management’s assessment of several factors: review and evaluations of specific loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current and anticipated economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, a study of loss experience, a review of classified, nonperforming and delinquent loans, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, an estimate of the possibility of loss based on the risk characteristics of the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay and the results of regulatory examinations. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful or substandard. For such loans, a specific allowance is established when the collateral value is lower than the carrying value of the loan. The general component of the allowance relates to loans that are not classified and is based on historical loss experience.

Bank Premises and Equipment

Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Other Real Estate

Other real estate acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower of cost (primarily outstanding loan balance) or estimated market value, less estimated costs to sell. If, at foreclosure, the carrying value of the loan is greater than the estimated market value of the property acquired, the excess is charged against the allowance for loan losses and any subsequent adjustments are charged to expense. Costs of operating and maintaining the properties, net of related income and gains (losses) on their disposition, are charged to expense as incurred.

Trust Department Income and Fees

Corporate trust fees are accounted for on an accrual basis and personal trust fees are recorded when received.

Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated tax return with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The tax liability of each entity is allocated based on the entity’s contribution to consolidated taxable income. The provision for applicable income taxes is based upon reported income and expenses as adjusted for differences between reported income and taxable income. The primary differences are exempt income on state, county and municipal securities; differences in provisions for losses on loans as compared to the amount allowable for income tax purposes; directors’ and officers’ insurance; depreciation for income tax purposes over (under) that reported for financial statements; gains reported under the installment sales method for tax purposes and gains on the sale of bank premises which were structured under the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Leases

All leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with the terms of the leases.

Earnings Per Share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, 5,548,300, 5,550,477 and 5,556,251 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Statements of Cash Flows

The Company has defined cash and cash equivalents to include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. The Company paid $18,444,672 $7,389,847 and $5,044,207 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, for interest on deposits and borrowings. Income tax payments totaled $5,310,000, $4,856,000 and $2,062,000 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Loans transferred to other real estate amounted to $144,000, $88,000 and $112,250 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The income tax effect from the unrealized gain (loss) on available for sale securities on accumulated other comprehensive income was $602,907, $(949,600) and $(830,890), at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The income tax effect from the loss from unfunded post-retirement benefit obligation on accumulated other comprehensive income was $407,201 at December 31, 2006.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year statements to conform to current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on a monthly basis. Consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost. The Company has also considered that securities are primarily issued by U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies, the cause of the decline in value, the intent and ability of the Company to hold these securities until maturity and that the Company has traditionally held virtually all of its securities, including those classified as available for sale, until maturity. Any sales of available for sale securities, which have been infrequent and immaterial, have been for liquidity purposes. The Company has also carefully considered the specific issues related to the valuation of the FHLMC preferred stock. As a result of the evaluation of the impairment of these securities, the Company has determined that the declines summarized in the table above are not deemed to be other-than-temporary.

Proceeds from maturities and calls of held to maturity debt securities during 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $265,074,303, $23,435,000 and $1,405,000, respectively.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) common stock was purchased during 1999 in order for the Company to participate in certain FHLB programs. The amount to be invested in FHLB stock was calculated according to FHLB guidelines as a percentage of certain mortgage loans. Based on this calculation, the FHLB may periodically automatically redeem its common stock. The investment is carried at cost. Dividends received are reinvested in FHLB stock.

NOTE J — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY :

Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the bank subsidiary without prior approval of the Commissioner of Banking and Consumer Finance of the State of Mississippi. At December 31, 2006, approximately $25,021,000 of undistributed earnings of the bank subsidiary included in consolidated surplus and retained earnings was available for future distribution to the Company as dividends, subject to the approval by the Board of Directors.

On November 26, 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 2.50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. At November 26, 2005, the date this repurchase was set to expire, the Company had the authorization to repurchase and retire another 109,610 shares. On November 22, 2005, the Board of Directors approved a three year extension of the repurchase plan originally approved on November 26, 2002. As of December 31, 2006, 30,793 shares had been repurchased and retired under the plan approved November 26, 2002 and extended on November 22, 2005.

On December 8, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a semi-annual dividend of $.23 per share. This dividend has a record date of January 8, 2007 and a distribution date of January 16, 2007.

The bank subsidiary is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by the regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the bank subsidiary’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the bank subsidiary must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the bank subsidiary’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The bank subsidiary’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the bank subsidiary to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets.

As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the bank subsidiary as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the bank subsidiary must have a Total risk-based capital ratio of 10.00% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.00% or greater and a Leverage capital ratio of 5.00% or greater. There are no conditions or events since that notification that Management believes have changed the bank subsidiary’s category.

NOTE L — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF - BALANCE - SHEET RISK:

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and irrevocable letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the bank subsidiary has in particular classes of financial instruments. 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 irrevocable letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any conditions established in the agreement. Irrevocable letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Commitments and irrevocable letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments and irrevocable letters of credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluated each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based on Management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral obtained varies but may include equipment, real property and inventory.

The Company generally grants loans to customers in its primary trade area of Harrison, Hancock, Jackson and Stone counties.

At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company had outstanding irrevocable letters of credit aggregating $3,038,096, $4,491,773 and $3,113,033, respectively. At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company had outstanding unused loan commitments aggregating $149,457,000, $121,369,000 and $113,500,000, respectively. Approximately $67,621,000, $65,721,000 and $24,637,000 of outstanding commitments were at fixed rates and the remainder were at variable rates at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

NOTE M — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company’s bank subsidiary (the “Bank”) filed suit against USF&G in 1998 to recover damages for USF&G’s bad faith failure to defend and indemnify the Bank in connection with a lawsuit filed against the Bank in 1996. The Bank obtained legal representation from a local plaintiff’s attorney and customer (“Attorney”) on a contingent basis.

In December 2000, the case was transferred from the judge to whom it was originally assigned to a second judge (the “Judge”). The Judge had previously handled some discovery matters in the case.

The Bank had made a routine loan to the Judge in November 1998, which was guaranteed by the Attorney. The loan was repaid in February 2000 by someone other than the Judge, apparently at the request of the Attorney. Neither the Attorney nor the Judge disclosed the loan or the repayment to USF&G or its counsel.

During the course of the case, the Bank and USF&G filed competing motions for summary judgment. The Judge granted summary judgment in the Bank’s favor on the issue of liability and subsequently presided over a settlement conference in which he expressed his opinion about the value of the case in monetary terms. The case was settled on December 24, 2001, for $1.5 million.

In 2003, the Attorney, the Judge and other parties were indicted for alleged fraud, bribery, etc. involving various events, including allegations concerning the Bank v. USF&G lawsuit. Neither the Bank nor any Bank employee was indicted. Following the indictments, USF&G filed a civil action against the Attorney, the Judge and the Bank alleging fraud in connection with the outcome of the Bank v. USF&G lawsuit. The complaint demands $2.5 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages, prejudgment interest and attorneys’ fees, etc. The USF&G v. Bank suit was stayed until 30 days following the completion of the criminal case. There has been no discovery.

The criminal case against the Attorney, the Judge and other parties concluded on August 12, 2005. No guilty verdicts were returned. The defendants received not guilty verdicts on several counts and there was no verdict (mistrial) on a number of other counts, including the Bank v. USF&G matter. On September 16, 2005, the U.S. Attorney’s office announced that it will retry the Attorney, the Judge and other parties on fraud and bribery charges related to the Bank v. USF&G matter. The new trial began on February 7, 2007. The USF&G v. Bank suit will remain subject to the stay order until the criminal matters are concluded.

The Company understands that this litigation, as with any litigation, is inherently uncertain and it is reasonably possible that the Company may incur a loss in this matter. The Company has no reason to conclude, however, that the loss is probable and cannot reasonably estimate the amount of any possible loss. No liability for the USF&G lawsuit has been accrued. This conclusion is based on relevant legal advice, the fact that this lawsuit is in its very earliest stages with no discovery having been undertaken and the Company’s resolve to vigorously contest the case.

The bank is involved in various other legal matters and claims which are being defended and handled in the ordinary course of business. None of these matters is expected, in the opinion of Management, to have a material adverse effect upon the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

The Company has made commitments relating to the construction and renovation of its bank premises. At December 31, 2006, such commitments totaled $10,340,000, of which $614,000 was included in Bank Premises and Equipment as construction in process. These expenditures are being funded through the proceeds of the settlement of insurance claims and current operating capital.

NOTE O — EXTRAORDINARY GAIN:

An extraordinary gain of $538,000, net of taxes, was recorded in 2005 as a result of the Pulse EFT Association Exchange.

NOTE P — EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

The Company sponsors the Peoples Financial Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Employees who are in a position requiring at least 1,000 hours of service during a plan year and who are 21 years of age are eligible to participate in the ESOP. The Plan included 401(k) provisions and the former Gulf National Bank Profit Sharing Plan. Effective January 1, 2001, the ESOP was amended to separate the 401(k) funds into the Peoples Financial Corporation 401(k) Plan. The separation had no impact on the eligibility or benefits provided to participants of either plan. The 401(k) provides for a matching contribution of 75% of the amounts contributed by the employee (up to 6% of compensation). Contributions are determined by the Board of Directors and may be paid either in cash or Peoples Financial Corporation capital stock. Total contributions to the plan charged to operating expense were $460,000, $300,000 and $459,000 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Compensation expense of $8,245,151, $7,277,442 and $7,323,267, was the basis for determining the ESOP contribution allocation to participants for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The ESOP held 457,691, 468,084 and 472,744, allocated shares at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

26

The Company established an Executive Supplemental Income Plan and a Directors’ Deferred Income Plan, which provide for pre-retirement and post-retirement benefits to certain key executives and directors. Benefits under the Executive Supplemental Income Plan are based upon the position and salary of the officer at retirement or death. Normal retirement benefits under the plan are equal to 67% of salary for the president and chief executive officer, 58% of salary for the executive vice president and 50% of salary for all other executive officers and are payable monthly over a period of fifteen (15) years. Under the Directors’ Deferred Income Plan, the directors are given an opportunity to defer receipt of their annual directors’ fees until age sixty-five. For those who choose to participate, benefits are payable monthly for ten (10) years beginning the month after the director attains age sixty-five. Interest on deferred fees accrues at an annual rate of ten percent, compounded annually. The Company has acquired insurance policies, with the bank subsidiary as owner and beneficiary, that it may use as a source to pay potential benefits to the plan participants. These contracts are carried at their cash surrender value, which amounted to $12,157,922, $11,672,568 and $11,221,549 at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and are included in Other Assets. The present value of accumulated benefits under these plans, using an interest rate of 7.00% in 2006 and 7.50% for 2005 and 2004 and the interest ramp-up method for 2006, 2005 and 2004, has been accrued. The accrual amounted to $4,769,461, $4,189,779 and $3,783,850 at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and is included in Other Liabilities.

The Company also has additional plans for non-vested post-retirement benefits for certain key executives and directors. The Company has acquired insurance policies, with the bank subsidiary as owner and beneficiary, that it may use as a source to pay potential benefits to the plan participants. Additionally, there are two endorsement split dollar policies, with the bank subsidiary as owner and beneficiary, which provide a guaranteed death benefit to the participants’ beneficiaries. These contracts are carried at their cash surrender value, which amounted to $826,680, $816,025 and $780,898 at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively and are included in Other Assets. The present value of accumulated benefits under these plans using an interest rate of 7.50% in 2006, 2005 and 2004 and the projected unit cost method has been accrued. The accrual amounted to $613,510, $628,515 and $597,096 at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively and is included in Other Liabilities.

The Company provides post-retirement health insurance to certain of its retired employees. Employees are eligible to participate in the retiree health plan if they retire from active service no earlier than age 65. In addition, the employee must have at least 25 continuous years of service with the Company immediately preceding retirement. However, any active employee who was at least age 65 as of January 1, 1995, does not have to meet the 25 years of service requirement. The accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation at January 1, 1995, was $517,599, which the Company elected to amortize over 20 years. The Company reserves the right to modify, reduce or eliminate these health benefits. The Company has chosen to not offer this post-retirement benefit to individuals entering the employ of the Company after December 31, 2006.

The following is a summary of the components of the net periodic post-retirement benefit cost:

Years Ended December 31,	2006		2005		2004
Service cost, including amortization of loss	$	315,561	$	237,731	$	212,933
Interest cost		175,982		139,449		133,262
Amortization of net transition obligation		20,600		20,600		20,600
Net periodic post-retirement benefit cost	$	512,143	$	397,780	$	366,795

The discount rate used in determining the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was 6.00% in 2006, 5.500% in 2005, and 5.75% in 2004. The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was 10.00% in 2003. The rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5.00% for 2013 and remain at that level thereafter. If the health care cost trend rate assumptions were increased 1.00%, the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2006, would be increased by 24.07%, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic post-retirement benefit cost for the year then ended would have increased by 29.49%. If the health care cost trend rate assumptions were decreased 1.00%, the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2006, would be decreased by 18.46%, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic post-retirement benefit cost for the year then ended would have decreased by 21.89%.

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, (the “Act”) provided a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part D as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree health care benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. The Act became effective in 2006. The Company believes that the coverage it provides under its plan is actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D and that it will be entitled to the subsidy. The Company elected to recognize the effect of this subsidy as of December 31, 2004. The recognition of this subsidy had no effect on the 2004 net periodic post-retirement benefit cost but did reduce the accumulated benefit obligation as of December 31, 2004 by $650,109.

The following table presents the estimated benefit payments and effect of the Medicare Part D subsidy for each of the next five years and in the aggregate for the next five years:

Year	With Subsidy		Without Subsidy		Subsidy
2007	$	58,000	$	8,000	$	50,000
2008		64,000		9,000		55,000
2009		70,000		10,000		60,000

The Company adopted FASB Statement No. 158, “Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pensions and Other Postretirement Plans (an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R (SFAS 158). SFAS 158 requires the recognition of the funded status of the Company’s postretirement benefit plan and to provide additional disclosure. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 158, accrued postretirement benefit cost of $3,270,052 is included in Other Liabilities and the loss from unfunded post-retirement benefit obligation of $750,827, net of taxes, is included in accumulated other comprehensive income in 2006.

Other changes in plan assets and accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income includes the following, net of tax, at December 31, 2006.

Unrecognized Actuarial Loss	$	645,600
Unrecognized Transition Obligation		105,227
Unrecognized Prior Service Cost
Total recognized in other comprehensive income	$	750,827
Amortization of net loss	$	42,015
Amortization of prior service cost		13,390
Total recognized in net periodic benefit cost and other comprehensive income	$	55,405

The estimated net loss and prior transition obligation for the other postretirement plan that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year is $41,355 and $20,600, respectively.

NOTE Q — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

All entities are required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, recognized and not recognized in the statement of condition, for which it is practical to estimate its fair value. SFAS 107 excluded certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and bank premises and equipment.

Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. In preparing these disclosures, Management made highly subjective estimates and assumptions in developing the methodology to be utilized in the computation of fair value. These estimates and assumptions were formulated based on judgments regarding economic conditions and risk characteristics of the financial instruments that were present at the time the computations were made. Events may occur that alter these conditions and thus perhaps change the assumptions as well. A change in the assumptions might affect the fair value of the financial instruments disclosed in this footnote. These esti-

28

mates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax consequences related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses have not been computed or disclosed herein. These fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below.

Cash and Due from Banks

The carrying amount shown as cash and due from banks approximates fair value.

Federal Funds Sold

The carrying amount shown as federal funds sold approximates fair value.

Available for Sale Securities

The fair value of available for sale securities is based on quoted market prices.

Held to Maturity Securities

The fair value of held to maturity securities is based on quoted market prices.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The carrying amount shown as Federal Home Loan Bank Stock approximates fair value.

Loans

The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the remaining maturities. The cash flows considered in computing the fair value of such loans are segmented into categories relating to the nature of the contract and collateral based on contractual principal maturities. Appropriate adjustments are made to reflect probable credit losses. Cash flows have not been adjusted for such factors as prepayment risk or the effect of the maturity of balloon notes. The fair value of floating rate loans is estimated to be its carrying value.

Cash Surrender Value

The carrying amount of cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance, which is included in Other Assets, approximates fair value.

Deposits

The fair value of non-interest bearing demand and interest bearing savings and demand deposits is the amount reported in the financial statements. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting the cash flows using current rates of time deposits with similar remaining maturities. The cash flows considered in computing the fair value of such deposits are based on contractual maturities, since approximately 98% of time deposits provide for automatic renewal at current interest rates.

Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase

The carrying amount shown as federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximates fair value.

Borrowings from FHLB

The fair value of FHLB fixed rate borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flows based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The Company has no FHLB variable rate borrowings.

Commitments To Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

Because commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are generally short-term and at variable rates, the contract value and estimated fair value associated with these instruments are immaterial.

The following table presents carrying amounts and estimated fair values for financial assets and financial liabilities at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

PEOPLES FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

To the Board of Directors
Peoples Financial Corporation
Biloxi, Mississippi

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting, that Peoples Financial Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Peoples Financial Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Peoples Financial Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO. Also in our opinion, Peoples Financial Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of condition of Peoples Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and our report dated February 14, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

To the Board of Directors
Peoples Financial Corporation
Biloxi, Mississippi

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of Peoples Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements of Peoples Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 were audited by other auditors whose report dated January 25, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 2006 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Peoples Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Peoples Financial Corporation and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 14, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of Peoples Financial Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Peoples Financial Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
