P ART I

This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (the “Company”) believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions (some of which may prove to be incorrect) and are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause the actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations. Such statements are based on management’s beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used in the Company’s documents or oral presentations, the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,” “forecast,” “goal” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. In addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements, factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements include, among others, increased competition, regulatory factors, economic conditions, changing market conditions, availability or cost of capital, employee workforce factors, costs and other effects of legal and administrative proceedings, and changes in federal, state or local legislative requirements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in actual results or changes in assumptions or on account of other factors affecting such statements.

The information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K is as of March 12, 2010, unless otherwise indicated herein.

I tem 1. Business.

General

The Company

Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation was organized as a Mississippi business corporation in July 1982. Later that year, the Company became a one-bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, when it acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Britton & Koontz Bank, National Association , a national banking association headquartered in Natchez, Mississippi (the “Bank”). The Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and stock of the Bank is the Company’s most significant asset.

Dividends received by the Company from the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $2.8 million, while no dividends were paid by the Bank to the Company for the year ended December 31, 2009, due to the national recession and its impact on regional and local economies. Over the past several years, the Bank paid dividends to the Company in excess of the amount needed to satisfy dividends declared by the Company. Thus the Company accumulated cash and it used this cash to pay dividends in 2009. The Company expects dividend payments to resume in 2010 and continue to be the Company’s major source of income.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had total consolidated assets of approximately $393 million and total consolidated stockholders’ equity of approximately $40 million. Financial information about the Company, including information with respect to revenues from external customers, profit and loss and total assets for 2009 and 2008, is contained in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Table of Contents

The Company entered into a Trust Services Agreement with National Independent Trust Company, a national banking association doing business as Argent Trust Company, headquartered in Ruston, Louisiana. Effective January 1, 2007, Argent Trust Company assumed all responsibilities associated with the Bank’s trust services, having been duly appointed successor trustee for all Bank trust accounts. Argent Trust Company performs certain fiduciary services for customers transferred from and referred by the Bank to Argent Trust Company. In return, the Bank receives a specified percentage of the fee income generated by Argent Trust Company.

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company entered into a networking arrangement with Argent Financial Group, an affiliate of Argent Trust Company also based in Ruston, Louisiana, to move the Company’s brokerage business and related networking arrangements from its prior provider. Under the new networking arrangement, Argent Financial Group leases space from the Company in its Baton Rouge and Natchez offices. The Company and Argent Financial Group may refer business to their respective financial specialists; however, unlike the terms of the prior arrangement, financial consultant personnel are not employees of the Company. The Company also is no longer responsible for the office expenses and other related selling expenses associated with networking activities. The majority of the revenue the Company receives from this relationship is derived from lease payments by Argent Financial Group.

The Bank

The Bank provides commercial and consumer banking to customers in Adams and Warren Counties, Mississippi, and East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, and the adjoining counties and parishes in Mississippi and Louisiana. The Bank conducts its full-service banking business from its main office and two branch offices in Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi, two branches in Vicksburg, Warren County, Mississippi, and three branch offices in Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. The geographical area serviced by the Bank is economically diverse and includes public and private sector industries, including government service, manufacturing, tourism, agriculture and oil and gas exploration. The Bank is not dependent on any one customer or group of customers in any of its activities, and it has no foreign operations.

The products and services offered by the Bank include personal and commercial checking accounts, money market deposit accounts, savings accounts, automated clearinghouse services, safe deposit box facilities, and brokerage services through Argent Financial Group. The Bank also offers access to automated teller machines and cash management services including remote deposit, money transfer, direct deposit payroll and sweep accounts. The Bank is a full-service residential and commercial mortgage lender and engages in other commercial and consumer lending activities, including, among other things, the issuance of VISA credit cards and letters of credit.

Income from the Bank’s lending activities, including loan interest, fees and gains on sales of mortgage loans, represent the largest component of the Bank’s total operating revenue. This source accounted for 58% and 62% of the Bank’s total operating revenue during 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company expects that income from lending activities will continue in 2010 to be the leading source of income related to the Bank’s activities. In addition to business and consumer lending, the Bank invests a portion of its total assets in the securities market in order to earn a higher return compared to overnight positions. Investment security purchases are monitored closely and managed on a monthly basis by an asset liability committee comprised of three non-employee directors along with the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Investment income represents the second largest source of revenue for the Bank. For the 2009 and 2008 fiscal years, revenue in this segment amounted to 33% and 28% of the Bank’s total operating revenue, respectively. The bulk of the remainder of the Bank’s revenue in each of the last two years was fees related to deposit services.

Competition

There is significant competition among banks and bank holding companies in the Bank’s market areas and throughout Mississippi and Louisiana. The Bank competes with both national and state banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions for loans and deposits. The Bank also competes with large national banks from the principal cities in Louisiana and Mississippi for certain commercial loans. All of these numerous institutions, including the Bank, compete in the delivery of products and services on the basis of availability, quality and pricing. Many of our competitors are likely to be better capitalized than the Bank and the Company. Most institutions track total deposits as an appropriate measure of penetration in each market. As of June 30, 2009, the last date such information is available, the Bank’s market share in relation to total deposits, according to data collected from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, was approximately 19.55% and 2.25% for Adams and Warren Counties in Mississippi, respectively, and .31% in East Baton Rouge Parish in Louisiana.

The deregulation of depository institutions as well as the increased ability of non-banking financial institutions, such as finance companies, investment companies, insurance companies, brokerage companies and several governmental agencies, to provide services previously reserved to commercial banks has further intensified competition and we expect such competition to increase. Accordingly, the Bank now competes with these non-banking financial institutions, all of which are engaged in marketing various types of loans, commercial paper, short-term obligations, investments and other services. Because non-banking financial institutions are not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as banks and bank holding companies, in many instances they operate with greater flexibility.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had three full-time employees, who are also employees of the Bank and compensated by the Bank. The Bank’s employees increased from 99 full-time and 11 part-time employees at December 31, 2008, to 105 full-time and 8 part-time employees at December 31, 2009. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company believes that its relationship with its employees is good.

Supervision and Regulation

General

The banking industry is extensively regulated under federal and state law. As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”), and to supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). Pursuant to the BHCA, the Company may not directly or indirectly acquire the ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any other company, including a bank, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. The BHCA further limits the activities of both the Company and the Bank to the business of banking and activities closely related or incidental to banking.

Table of Contents

As a national bank, the Bank is subject to supervision and regular examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “Comptroller”). The examinations are undertaken to ensure the protection of the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”). In February, 2006, the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 was signed into law. Among the highlights of this law was merging the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund into the newly-created DIF. This change was effective March 31, 2006. The FDIC maintains the DIF by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium. The amount each institution is assessed is based on the balance of the insured deposits as well as on the degree of risk the institution poses to the insurance fund.

In 1991, Congress enacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (“FDICIA”), which, among other things, substantially revised the depository institution regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. FDICIA also expanded the regulatory and enforcement powers of bank regulatory agencies. Most significantly, FDICIA mandates annual examinations of banks by their primary regulators and requires the federal banking agencies to take prompt “corrective action” whenever financial institutions do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA establishes five capital tiers: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” A depository institution’s capitalization status will depend on how well its capital levels compare to various relevant capital measures and certain other factors, as established by regulation. As of December 31, 2009, the Bank maintained a capital level which qualified it as being “well capitalized” under such regulations.

FDICIA also prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be “undercapitalized.”

The banking industry is affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve. An important function of the Federal Reserve is to regulate the national supply of bank credit to moderate recessions and to curb inflation. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve to implement its objectives are: open-market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate on bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements on bank deposits. Changes in any of these policies can affect how the Bank operates and generates revenues.

Finally, the Company elected not to participate in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program, which is part of the federal government’s Troubled Asset Relief Program. Thus, it will not be subject to any of the regulations enacted (and to be enacted) with respect to such program. The Company has, however, opted to participate in the FDIC’s Transaction Account Guarantee Program, which is a part of the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. The regulations the Company currently is subject to on account of its participation in this program have not had a material effect on the Company’s business or operations. The Company is unable to predict whether additional regulations will be imposed upon it because of its participation in this program, or the impact of any such regulations on the Company’s business or operations.

Interstate Banking and Branching Legislation

Federal Law . In 1994, Congress passed the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act (“Riegle-Neal”), which affected the interstate banking and branching abilities of bank holding companies and banks. Riegle-Neal authorizes a national bank domiciled in one state to establish branches in any other state as long as neither state has opted out of interstate branching between the date of enactment of Riegle-Neal and May 31, 1997. Riegle-Neal, however, does allow states to preserve certain restrictions on the entry of out-of-state banks, such as the fashion in which entry can be made, an age requirement for a bank being merged or acquired, and a deposit cap. Under Riegle-Neal, once a bank has established a branch in another state, it may exercise the same rights in that state as enjoyed by national and state banks headquartered in that state, including the ability to branch intra-state.

Riegle-Neal also permits states to allow banks to enter the state by establishing a de novo branch in that state. In order to allow de novo entry into a particular state, that state’s banking laws must expressly provide for de novo branching. Once a bank has established a branch in a host state through de novo branching, it may exercise the same rights in that state as national and state banks enjoy, including the ability to branch intra-state. If a state opts out of interstate branching, no bank domiciled in that state may establish branches in other states, and no bank domiciled in another state may establish branches in that state.

Mississippi Law . On March 29, 1996, the Governor of Mississippi signed into law a bill in which Mississippi elected to opt in to interstate branching, effective May 1, 1997. As enacted, the bill (1) allows all Mississippi banks to establish branches in any other state pursuant to the entry rules in the potential host state, and (2) allows out-of-state banks to establish branches in Mississippi pursuant to Mississippi’s entry rules. The bill does not authorize de novo branching into Mississippi. An out-of-state bank can establish branches in Mississippi only by (1) merging with a Mississippi-domiciled bank, (2) buying all of the assets of a Mississippi-domiciled bank, or (3) buying all of the assets in Mississippi of an out-of-state bank which has branches in Mississippi. All interstate branching transactions require appropriate regulatory approval.

On December 1, 2000, the Bank acquired its first interstate branch office in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Under applicable law, the Bank, with the approval of the Comptroller, can establish additional de novo branch offices within the States of Mississippi and Louisiana. The Company from time to time evaluates merger and acquisition opportunities, as well as opportunities to establish additional branch offices, and it anticipates that it will continue to evaluate such opportunities.

Financial Modernization

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (the “GLB Act”) was enacted into law on November 12, 1999. The GLB Act potentially affects every facet of a depository institution’s operations. The GLB Act does three fundamental things affecting the banking industry: (1) repeals key provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act to permit commercial banks to affiliate with securities firms, insurance companies and other financial service providers; (2) establishes a statutory framework pursuant to which full affiliations can occur between these entities; and (3) provides financial services organizations with flexibility in structuring these new financial affiliations through a new entity called a “financial holding company” or through a financial subsidiary.

As a result of the GLB Act, banks will be able to offer customers a wide range of financial products and services without the restraints of previous legislation. In addition, bank holding companies and other financial services providers will be able to commence new activities or new affiliations much more readily. To take advantage of the new provisions of the GLB Act, a bank holding company must elect to become a financial holding company. The Company has elected to become a financial holding company.

Anti-Money Laundering

The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 contains the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “IMLAFA”). The IMLAFA substantially broadens existing anti-money laundering legislation and the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the United States, imposes new compliance and due diligence obligations, creates new crimes and penalties, compels the production of documents located both inside and outside the United States, including those of foreign institutions that have a correspondent relationship in the United States, and clarifies the safe harbor from civil liability to customers. The U.S. Treasury Department has issued a number of regulations implementing the USA PATRIOT Act that apply certain of its requirements to financial institutions such as the Bank. The regulations impose new obligations on financial institutions to maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing. The IMLAFA requires all “financial institutions,” as defined, to establish anti-money laundering compliance and due diligence programs. Such programs must include, among other things, adequate policies, the designation of a compliance officer, employee training programs, and an independent audit function to review and test the program. The Company believes that it has complied with the IMLAFA requirements as currently in effect.

Further Changes in Regulatory Requirements

The United States Congress and the Mississippi legislature have periodically considered and adopted legislation that has adversely affected the profitability of the banking industry. See “Competition” above. Future legislation could further modify or eliminate geographic and other business restrictions on banks and bank holding companies and current prohibitions affecting other financial institutions, including mutual funds, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, banks from other states and investment banking firms. In addition, the United States in general, and the financial services industry in particular, is currently experiencing an economic downturn. In response to this downturn, numerous significant legislative and regulatory changes have been proposed. The Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of such proposals or the effects of any new legislation or regulations on the business of the Company or the Bank.

Restrictions on Dividends

The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank, and substantially all of the Company’s revenues result from amounts paid by the Bank, as dividends, to the Company. The payment of dividends by the Bank is, of course, dependent upon its earnings and financial condition. The Bank, however, as a national bank, is also subject to legal limitations on the amount of its earnings that it may pay as dividends. Under federal law, the directors of a national bank, after making proper deduction for all expenses and other deductions required by the Comptroller, may credit net profits to the Bank’s undivided profits account and may declare a dividend from that account of so much of the net profits as they judge expedient. The Comptroller and the Federal Reserve have each indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings.

Further, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Natchez First Federal in 1993, the Bank assumed a liquidation account of approximately $2.8 million which has the effect of prohibiting the payment of dividends if the Bank’s net worth would thereby be reduced below $2.8 million.

Corporate Governance

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes Act”) requires publicly traded companies to adhere to several directives designed to prevent corporate misconduct. Additional duties have been placed on officers, directors, auditors and attorneys of public companies. The Sarbanes Act requires certifications regarding financial statement accuracy and internal control adequacy by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company in periodic and annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Sarbanes Act also accelerates insider reporting obligations under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, restricts certain executive officer and director transactions, imposes new obligations on corporate audit committees and provides for enhanced review by the SEC.

On March 13, 2010, there were 472 shareholders of record of the Company’s common stock, and the price of the Company’s common stock was $11.99.

Historically the Company has declared dividends on a quarterly basis. Funds for the payment of cash dividends are obtained from dividends received by the Company from the Bank. Accordingly, the declaration and payment of cash dividends by the Company depends upon the Bank’s earnings, financial condition, general economic conditions, compliance with regulatory requirements and other factors. Restrictions on the Bank’s ability to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends exist under federal and state law and regulations. See Note N, “Regulatory Matters”, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for a discussion of these restrictions. These restrictions do not, and are not expected in the future to, materially limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders consistent with historical dividend payments.

Please refer to the information under “Equity Compensation Plan Information” in Item 12, Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters, for a discussion of the securities authorized for issuance under the Company’s equity compensation plans.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This discussion presents a review of the major factors that have affected the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations the Company and its subsidiaries, principally the Bank, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

Summary

In 2009, the Company reported net income of $1.6 million, or $.76 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $1.65 per basic and diluted share, reported at December 31, 2008. Returns on average assets and equity for the year ended December 31, 2009, were .40% and 4.01%, respectively, compared to .91% and 9.57% for same period in 2008.

During 2009, the Company’s asset quality declined primarily as a result of the effects of the economic downturn affecting the United States as a whole and the local markets in which we operate. The Company acted to recognize probable losses in the loan portfolio and is attempting to resolve these loans quickly through foreclosure and sale of collateral. We expect actions the Company will be required to take in 2010 to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses and otherwise to address asset quality issues will have a lesser impact on the Company’s earnings in 2010 than in 2009.

The Company’s current level of capital significantly exceeds the amount that regulators consider “Well-Capitalized.” It is this strength of capital along with our conservative credit standards that, in our opinion, allowed us to weather the economic downturn that swept through the United States and our local markets in 2009. We believe the Company has capital and financial strength sufficient to allow us to continue engaging in prudent lending activity and to expand our franchise as opportunities are presented in the upcoming year.

Financial Condition

Assets

Total assets decreased $20 million to $393 million at December 31, 2009 as compared to total assets at December 31, 2008. The change is due mostly to decreases in investment securities from $171 million at December 31, 2008, to $147 million at December 31, 2009, offset by an increase in cash and due from banks. The decrease in investment securities is due to a lack of attractive re-investment opportunities during the year; instead, liquidity from the securities portfolio was used to repay debt.

Average Earning Assets. Interest income from earning assets represents the Company’s main source of revenue. Average earning assets for the year ended December 31, 2009, totaled $384 million, a $17 million, or 5%, increase compared to $367 million at December 31, 2008. The increase was due to the Company’s purchases of investment securities, which grew average investment securities by $19 million, notwithstanding that the balance of investment securities at December 31, 2009 was lower than the balance at December 31, 2008. These increases were offset by slight decreases in average loans of $2 million. The average earning asset mix shifted during 2009 compared to 2008. In 2009, loans comprised 58% of average earning assets compared to 61% in 2008, while investments increased to 41% of average earning assets in 2009 from 38% in 2008. The balance, in short-term funds, remained relatively unchanged.

Investment Securities. The Company’s securities at December 31, 2009, consist primarily of mortgage-backed securities, municipal investments and equity securities. Securities deemed to be held-to-maturity (“HTM”) are accounted for by the amortized cost method and represented approximately 31% of total securities at December 31, 2009. Securities designated as available-for-sale (“AFS”) are accounted for at fair value with valuation adjustments recorded in the equity section of the Company’s balance sheet through other comprehensive income/(loss). AFS securities comprised approximately 67% of total investment securities at December 31, 2009. There were no securities categorized as trading at December 31, 2009. Equity securities accounted for the remaining 2%. The Company classifies its security purchases at acquisition.

Total investment securities decreased $24 million to $147 million at December 31, 2009, from $171 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease in securities was a result of the interest rate yield curve in 2008 which made purchases of investment securities more attractive in 2008. The Company directed its cash flows, along with borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), back into the securities market, resulting in an approximate $45 million increase in the investment securities portfolio from December 31, 2007, compared to December 31, 2008. As the economy turned in 2009, the low interest rate environment through most of the year discouraged reinvestment of cash flows from investment securities; instead, these cash flows were used to repay debt.

Equity securities at December 31, 2009, are comprised primarily of Federal Reserve Bank stock of $522 thousand, FHLB stock of $2.4 million, the Company’s $155 thousand interest in its B&K Bank Statutory Trust and the Enterprise Corporation of the Delta Investments, LLC membership interests of $100 thousand. These securities decreased $748 thousand to $3.3 million in 2009 from $4.0 million in 2008, primarily due to the redemption FHLB stock as borrowing throughout the year declined.

The amortized cost of the Bank’s investment securities at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, are summarized below:

	12/31/09		12/31/08		12/31/07
Obligations of U.S. Government Agencies and Corporations	$	99,111,627	$	123,834,755	$	84,741,030

Loans. Loans represent the Company’s largest source of revenue. Total loans at December 31, 2009 of $224.6 million remained relatively stable, declining only $910 thousand compared to $225.5 million at December 31, 2008. The Company’s Baton Rouge, Louisiana market continued to see demand for loans from both businesses and households offsetting further weakening in other markets. Loan growth in the Company’s Baton Rouge market was $18 million during 2009 offset by declines in both Mississippi markets of $19 million, including a $6 million decline in the residential portfolio. The Company generally does not hold residential loans in its loan portfolio. Rather, the focus is on originating 1-4 family residential mortgage loans that can be sold in the secondary market. As a result, its existing portfolio of residential loans has continued to decline during 2009. Total residential loans originated and sold during 2009 were $26 million, up from $24 million in 2008. The Company has increased its lending personnel in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and expects a significant increase in total originations and fee income generated in 2010.

In 2010, loan growth in the Baton Rouge market is expected to be consistent with growth in 2009, while we anticipate that the Natchez and Vicksburg, Mississippi markets will be challenged to maintain present levels of loans as economic activity throughout these markets continues to shrink.

The composition of the Bank’s loan portfolio, including loans held for sale, at the end of the last five years is presented below. The Company has no foreign loan activities. “Real estate-other” below primarily includes mortgage lending for non-residential properties.

Asset Quality

Management continually monitors the diversification of the loan portfolio and assesses loan quality. When the assessment of an individual loan relationship indicates that the borrower has a defined weakness in the ability to repay and collection of all outstanding principal and/or interest is in doubt, the debt is placed on non-accrual. By placing loans on non-accrual the Company recognizes a problem credit, foregoes interest that is likely uncollectible, and adjusts the carried loan balance to reflect the collection amount expected. When problem credits are transferred to non-accrual status, the accrual of interest income is discontinued and all previously accrued and uncollected interest for the year is reversed against interest income. A non-accrual loan may be restored to accrual status when it is no longer delinquent and management no longer doubts the collectibility of interest and principal.

Several key measures are used to evaluate and monitor the Company’s asset quality. These measures include the levels and percentages of total nonperforming assets, loan delinquencies, non-accrual loans, foreclosed assets and charge-offs. Nonperforming assets, consisting of non-accrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and other real estate owned, increased to $10.5 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $5.0 million at December 31, 2008. During the fourth quarter of 2009, non-performing assets increased $2.2 million due primarily to the addition of one commercial real estate credit in the Baton Rouge market. The borrower filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in December, 2009. The Company received the initial plan for reorganization in February, 2010, which it expects will be effective early in the third quarter of 2010. Non-performing assets as a percent of average assets increased to 2.62% in 2009 compared to 1.31% in 2008. Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans, net of unearned income and loans held for sale, increased to 4.34% at December 31, 2009, compared to 1.81% at December 31, 2008. Net charge-offs as a percent of average loans increased to .87% at December 31, 2009, from .34% at December 31, 2008. In spite of these increases, management believes that the Company’s asset quality is equal to or exceeds industry and peer levels, based on Federal Deposition Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) year-end call report data.

The increase in nonperforming assets in 2009 is generally due to the economic downturn affecting the United States and the related decline of economic activity in the Company’s markets. A breakdown of nonperforming loans at the end of each of the last five years is presented below:

Loan classification is an on-going, dynamic process, and the migration of loans into an impaired status cannot be predicted with total accuracy, especially in light of the current economic climate in the United States. As of December 31, 2009, the table above reflects all loans that the Company had doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with current repayment terms. There were no loans in any of the reported periods above classified as “troubled debt restructurings” as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (which is discussed in more detail in Note A, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data). As of December 31, 2009, if non-accrual loans had been current in accordance with their terms, interest in the amount of approximately $425,000 would have accrued on such loans. Approximately $526,000 in interest income on such loans was recognized on a cash basis for 2009.

In 2010, the economic environment in the Company’s three markets is expected to remain sluggish, in keeping with national trends. Collection efforts on problem credits during 2009 were vigorous. These intensified efforts have increased charge-offs and non-performing assets since December 31, 2008. Although resolution of problem credits has been impeded by the decreasing demand and falling prices for both commercial and residential real estate, the Company expects resolution of such problem credits to accelerate during 2010. While asset quality has weakened during 2009, overall problem loan levels in the present environment remain relatively low for the Company, while its capital is very strong.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is available to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. The appropriate level of the allowance is based on an ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio and represents an amount that management deems adequate to provide for inherent losses. The balance of the loans determined to be impaired under ASC 310 and the related allowance is included in management’s estimation and analysis of the allowance for loan losses. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance is sensitive to a variety of internal factors, primarily historical loss ratios and assigned risk ratings, and external factors, primarily the economic environment. Additionally, the estimate of the allowance required to absorb credit losses in the entire portfolio may change due to shifts in the mix and level of loan balances outstanding and in prevailing economic conditions, as evidenced by changes in real estate demand and values, interest rates, unemployment rates and energy costs. While no one factor is dominant, each could cause actual loan losses to differ materially from originally estimated amounts.

For portfolio balances of consumer, consumer mortgage and certain other similar loan types, allowance factors are determined based on historical loss ratios by portfolio and may be adjusted by other qualitative criteria. For larger commercial and commercial real estate secured loans, risk-rating grades are assigned by lending, credit administration or loan review personnel, based on an analysis of the financial and collateral strength and other credit attributes underlying each loan. The allowance factors are established based on historical loss ratios experienced by the Company for these loan types, as well as the credit quality criteria underlying each grade, adjusted for trends and expectations about losses inherent in our existing portfolios. In making these adjustments to the allowance factors, management takes into consideration factors which it believes are causing, or are likely in the future to cause, losses within our loan portfolio but which may not be fully reflected in our historical loss ratios.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for problem loans of $100,000 or greater by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For real estate collateral, the fair market value of the collateral is based upon a recent appraisal by a qualified and licensed appraiser of the underlying collateral. The process by which management determines the appropriate level of the allowance, and the corresponding provision for probable credit losses, involves considerable judgment; therefore, no assurance can be given that future losses will not vary from current estimates.

The Company increased the allowance for probable loan losses by $3.4 million in 2009, which more than offset net charge-offs of $1.9 million for 2009. The $3.4 million in provision expense covered net charge-offs and additional potential exposures identified in the credit review process and reserving methodology. The Company re-evaluated its potential exposure with respect to two commercial loans secured by commercial real estate. Both of these loans were identified as impaired at December 31, 2009; however, based upon its re-evaluation, the Company determined that it was appropriate to increase the level of impairment on each loan. The Company determined that the increased levels of impairment, and the associated increase in the allowance for loan losses necessary to properly reserve for these loans based on the new impairment levels, should be accounted for in the Company’s 2009 financial statements.

For one of the loans, the Bank foreclosed on the commercial real estate securing the loan in January, 2010. Upon gaining access to the property, the Bank discovered substantial damage and theft that occurred sometime during the weeks preceding the completion of the foreclosure proceedings. The Company believes that such damage and theft is covered by insurance, and an insurance claim has been filed in connection with the loss (as well as a police report). As of the date of this report, however, the Company cannot be sure that it will fully recover the previously-appraised value of the collateral. As to the other loan, the Company determined that complete provisioning will be needed on the loan, rather than the partial provision estimated at year-end, because of alleged borrower fraud involving the borrower’s claim of clean title to the commercial real estate securing the loan. The Company demanded payment under the loan’s title insurance policy and brought suit against the title insurer in December, 2009. In light of the possible prolonged legal delays that could be associated with resolving the Company’s claims against the title insurer, the Company fully reserved for the loan. The additional reserves required on account of the events described above have resulted in an additional $1 million in provision expense being incurred in the fourth quarter of 2009. At December 31, 2009, management believes the allowance for loan losses of $3.9 million is adequate, under prevailing economic conditions, to absorb probable losses on existing loans. The allowance includes allocation of approximately $2.1 million on total impaired loans of $8.7 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company hired a certified real estate appraiser to oversee the internal appraisal review process. Also, effective January 1, 2010, the Company adopted a new policy that governs the ordering, scope, independence and review of real estate appraisals used in the lending function, which is designed to reduce the Company’s risks in real estate secured loans.

Under the new policy, with respect to the renewal of any loan over $50,000, our lenders may use commercial real estate appraisals or complying evaluations performed by external, competent professional appraisers dated no more than two years prior to the date of the renewal. Appraisals older than two years but less than five years may be reused but are subjected to heightened internal scrutiny to maintain appropriate lending margin and knowledge of the collateral.

The new policy and related procedures also extend to impaired loan situations. However, in the context of default, renewals, and restructures of impaired loans, any number of circumstances may dictate that either we obtain updates to existing appraisal or we undertake completely new appraisals of the collateral, regardless of the age of the existing appraisal. These circumstances include, among other things, the following: the receipt and analysis of additional financial information from the borrower; a negative change in the scope or timing of a project or guarantor; or an unacceptable payment pattern. In determining specific exposures on impaired commercial real estate loans, and therefore the amount and timing of the provision for loan losses with respect thereto, the Company focuses primarily on recent, detailed collateral information obtained through appraisal updates or new appraisals, as the case may be. In addition to collateral information, the Company considers the financial strength and character of the guarantors along with the past performance history and nature of the business. Finally, the Company evaluates the general economic climate as well as the nature of the credit and the specific line of business of the borrower.

In foreclosures situations, the Bank obtains independent appraisals. Foreclosed properties are moved to Other Real Estate at the appraised value less sales commission and related marketing costs. The remaining balance of the impaired loan is charged off.

When the Company determines that a loan is nonperforming or impaired through its ongoing loan review process or, less frequently, receives notice of the occurrence of events impacting the collectability of a loan, its emphasis promptly shifts to the evaluation of the loan collateral. The evaluation of such collateral involves input from several parties within the bank: loan review, credit administration, the in-house appraisal review officer, and the relevant lending officer. Following such input, the Company’s chief credit policy officer makes the final determination regarding whether to order new appraisals of the real estate collateral or an update to an existing appraisal. Write-downs and charge-offs resulting from the credit review and collection processes are reviewed monthly by the independent members of the board of directors. There is typically no significant timing difference in ordering appraisals and the recognition of provision or related charge-off.

The Company places collateral-dependent, impaired loans on nonaccrual and reserves for any specific exposures identified from the collateral valuation. As exposures become clearly defined, charge-down of the previously estimated exposure follows immediately. Factors defining exposures might include bankruptcy, extended project delay, limitation of refinancing opportunities, sudden local market events or any other event which substantially eliminates the original, primary source of repayment.

Other Real Estate

The balance of other real estate (ORE) decreased $104 thousand to $815 thousand in 2009 from $919 thousand in 2008. Activity during 2009, set forth below, includes new foreclosures of $1.1 million offset by write-downs/reserves of $203 thousand, proceeds from sales of $741 thousand and losses on the sales of property of $80 thousand. The balance at December 31, 2009, was made up of one commercial property in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the amount of $534 thousand that was moved into ORE during 2009 with the remaining balance primarily in residential lots and vacant land. As reflected in the table below, liquidation of ORE properties kept pace with new additions in 2009.

Funding

Deposits. Deposits are the Company’s primary source of funding for earning assets. Total deposits decreased to $251 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $257 million at December 31, 2008. Non-interest bearing deposits decreased to $50 million at December 31, 2009 compared to $51 million at December 31, 2008. Deposits at December 31, 2009 and 2008, consist of the following:

	12/31/09		12/31/08

Non-interest bearing demand deposits	$	49,847,304	$	51,119,827
NOW accounts		57,815,246		48,338,323
Money market deposit accounts		30,563,856		33,662,518
Savings accounts		18,259,388		17,736,516
Certificates of deposit		94,456,326		106,357,236
	$	250,942,120	$	257,214,420

The decrease in deposits in 2009 was primarily due to decreases in non-core deposits such as public funds, brokered and special promotion CD’s amounting to approximately $8.4 million. During 2009, deposits that the Bank considers core deposits increased approximately $2.2 million, including deposits into a new rewards checking that was initiated in the second quarter of 2009.

The Company maintains wholesale deposit funding sources to provide additional liquidity if necessary. The Company belongs to a network that allows access to national deposits and has the ability to gather these deposits as needed. It also is a member of the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (“CDARS”), a deposit placement network. Deposits in the CDARS program are federally insured and are considered brokered. Because of the brokered classification, the Company considers these deposits as non-core, however, they have remained relatively stable over the past several years ending December 31, 2009, at $11.4 million, an increase over the $8.5 million at December 31, 2008.

Other time deposits of $100,000 or more, including savings and money market demand accounts, at December 31, 2009, were $21,554,000. For all such deposits, the time remaining until maturity was three months or less.

Borrowings. In addition to the deposit base described above, the Company utilizes short and long-term borrowings as an additional funding source. Short-term borrowings include overnight funding through established lines of credit with correspondent banks, customer repurchase agreements and overnight and other advances from the FHLB. The Company collateralizes short-term funding from the FHLB with a portion of the Bank’s one-to-four family residential mortgage portfolio, certain secured commercial loans and certain investment securities in accordance with the Advance Security and Collateral Agreement with the FHLB.

Also included in short-term borrowings are the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. See Note I, “Borrowings,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The Company has the right to call these debentures on a quarterly basis. They are included in short-term borrowings at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Company will consider calling the debentures if it determines they are not needed as a capital base to support the asset growth of the Company.

Total short-term borrowings at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 are presented below:

Table of Contents

Long-term borrowings in 2008 of $40 million primarily consisted of Structured Repurchase Agreements with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. In 2009, the Company continued this long-term debt structure and added an additional $9 million in 5 year term advances from the FHLB in an effort to further protect against rising rates. See Note M, “Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for further information on the Company’s Structured Repurchase Agreements.

Average Balances and Yield Analysis

The following table presents the Bank’s average balance sheets during 2009, 2008 and 2007. Dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets and liabilities, respectively, derives yields and costs. Average non-accrual loans of $5.8 million, $2.5 million and $1.4 million at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are included in loans for yield computations. Loan fees and late charges in the amount of approximately $680 thousand for 2009, $720 thousand for 2008 and $591 thousand for 2007 are included in both income and yield computations in loans. Income and expense resulting from interest rate caps and swaps used to manage interest rate risk are included appropriately in loans and certificates of deposit. No tax-equivalent adjustments have been made. All averages are derived from monthly average balances.

Capital

The Company’s capital base remains strong at $39.8 million as of December 31, 2009, compared to $39.5 million at December 31, 2008. The change in stockholders’ equity from 2008 to 2009 is primarily due to net income of $1.6 million in 2009 and an increase of accumulated other comprehensive income of $169 thousand offset by dividend payments totaling $1.5 million.

Other comprehensive income is the result of unrealized gains or losses on AFS securities and the recognition of the fair value of certain derivative instruments. The Company’s AFS portfolio, representing approximately 67% of total investment securities, is marked to market each month, and the result of these unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred taxes, is reported as a component of comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Stockholders’ equity to assets ratio at December 31, 2009, increased to 10.1% compared to 9.6% at December 31, 2008.

During 2009, the Company opened two new branch offices in its Baton Rouge, Louisiana market. The first location in The Oaks at Bluebonnet Parc occupies approximately 4,400 square feet, offers convenient depository services and includes a conference layout to accommodate select meetings of professional and commercial customers. This new facility also houses the Company’s mortgage center, a professional client services department and key company-wide credit administration personnel. The second new location, in the Towne Center area, occupies approximately 1,256 square feet and its high visibility is expected to enhance the Company’s current retail presence in the city. The Company’s fixed assets increased $1.1 million to $8.0 million at December 31, 2009, compared to the previous year in part due to these two new locations. The Company continues to look for ways to use its excess capital in relation to expansion in its current markets or in other markets through acquisition. The Company currently has no additional expansion plans in the Baton Rouge market and intends to target a per share dividend payout amount in 2010 in the range of 40-50%.

Capital levels for the Company and the Bank substantially exceeded the minimum requirements of the regulatory agencies for well-capitalized institutions in all three categories in both 2009 and 2008. Both the Company and the Bank maintain levels in total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and a leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to average assets) in excess of the minimum requirements of 10.00%, 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively.

Pursuant to Mississippi law, the Company’s Board of Directors may authorize the Company to pay cash dividends to its shareholders. The only limitation on dividends is that no distribution may be made if, after giving effect to the distribution (1) the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business, or (2) the Company's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the Company were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of any shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. The principal source of the Company’s cash revenues are dividends from the Bank. There are certain limitations on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company. See the disclosures under the heading “Liquidity.”

Dividends for the last two fiscal years have remained the same at $.72 per share. Historical dividend payout ratios, expressed as a percentage of net income, for 2009 and 2008 were 94.30% and 43.54%, respectively.

The declaration of future dividends is at the discretion of the Company and generally will be dependent upon the earnings of the Bank, the assessment of capital requirements, considerations of safety and soundness, applicable law and regulation and other factors. Subject to the limitations referenced above, it is the present policy of the Board of Directors of the Company to continue the declaration of cash dividends on the Company’s common stock on a quarterly basis, to the extent practicable.

Retained earnings of the Bank available for payment of cash dividends under applicable dividend regulations was $4.2 million and $5.5 million as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The Bank intends to retain most of these funds for capital and not pay them out as dividends.

Non-Interest Income/Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest income primarily includes service charges on deposit accounts, fees and gains on sales of mortgage loans originated and sold in the secondary market and other non-interest fee generating services. The Company continues to seek to increase income in this category by broadening its financial services, including offering business Internet banking and commercial cash management services, such as remote deposit, which allows Bank customers to make deposits electronically from their offices.

Table of Contents

Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $2.8 million compared to $3.0 million in 2008. The decrease is primarily related to lower revenue from networking arrangements resulting from the transfer of our brokerage business and related arrangements to Argent Financial Group, as described above, and reduced income from service charges on deposit accounts. Additionally, gains on investment securities decreased in 2009 compared to the previous year.

Non-interest expenses primarily include personnel, occupancy and equipment costs along with other operating expenses related to transacting the Company’s business. Total non-interest expense of $12.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, increased from $11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increases are mainly due to higher FDIC assessments, an increase in employees, higher employee salaries and benefits and increased occupancy and equipment costs. The increases in salary, occupancy and equipment costs are primarily related to the opening of two new branches in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the expansion of the Company’s loan origination staff in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, during the third and fourth quarters of 2009.

Net Interest Income/Margins

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 largest component of the Company’s earnings and is affected by several factors, including the volume of earning assets and costing liabilities, the mix of these assets and liabilities, and interest rates. Net Interest Margin represents net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. In the following discussion, tax-equivalent margins (“TEY”) are in parenthesis.

Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, increased 5% to $14.5 million compared to the same period in 2008, while net interest margin increased slightly during this period to 3.78%. The increase was due primarily to the increase in the volume of earning assets exceeding the increase in the volume of interest bearing liabilities; this accounted for $745 thousand of the year-over-year increase. The higher volume of earning assets for 2009 is a result of the increase in purchases of investment securities undertaken in 2008 to take advantage of attractive yields on such assets; as investment securities paid down throughout 2009, the market had reversed and the yields prevailing in the market discouraged reinvestment of investment securities proceeds, which instead were used to repay debt. The positive effects of increased volume were offset by this lower interest rate environment during 2009, which narrowed the interest rate spread for earning assets by a greater degree than the interest rate spread for interest bearing liabilities. Net interest margins for 2009 and 2008 were 3.78% (4.01% TEY) and 3.76% (3.99% TEY), respectively.

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major components of the Company’s interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and those due to changes in interest rates. For each category of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (a) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by the old rate) and (b) changes in rates (i.e., changes in rates multiplied by the old volume.) For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rates.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings to maintain the reserve for loan losses at a level consistent with management’s assessment of the risk of loss in the loan portfolio in light of current risk management strategies, economic conditions and market trends. Net charge-offs increased during 2009 to $1.9 million compared to $763 thousand at December 31, 2008. The Company increased its provision for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, to $3.4 million to cover net charge-offs and additional potential exposures identified in the credit review process and reserving methodology. As detailed in the discussion of the Allowance for Loan Losses, subsequent to year-end the Company revised its estimate of its potential exposure on two impaired commercial loans. These revised estimates have resulted in additional provision expense of $1 million for the fourth quarter of 2009. The revised 2009 provision expense of $3.4 million compares to $730 thousand provided in 2008. As noted earlier, the current economic climate for the Company and the industry as a whole continues to be extremely challenging. The Company has recognized known losses in the loan portfolio and anticipates net charge-offs in 2010 to remain near 2009 levels. In absence of negotiated settlements with the insurance companies involved in the two commercial loans described above, charge-off of some or all of the identified credit exposures of approximately $1.4 million may occur at the end of the first quarter.

Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of the Company’s ability to fund loan commitments and meet deposit maturities and withdrawals in a timely and cost-effective manner. These needs can be met by generating profits, attracting new deposits, converting assets (including short-term investments, mortgage loans held for sale and securities available for sale) to cash through sales or securitizations, and increasing borrowings. To minimize funding risks, management monitors liquidity monthly through reviews of basic surplus which includes investment securities available for pledging or borrowing offset by short-term liabilities, along with projections of loan and deposits for the next 90 days.

Principal sources of liquidity, both short and long-term, for the Company are asset cash flows, customer deposits and the ability to borrow against investment securities and loans. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased from $7.0 million at December 31, 2008, to $10.3 million at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2009, cash provided by operating and investing activities was $2.9 and $20.5 million, respectively, while $20.1 million was used by financing activities.

The decline in the Company’s deposit base during 2009 did not materially affect the amount of funding available for possible loan commitments. In addition to the Company’s deposit base, management believes that the current level of short-term investments and the higher level of projected cash flows from earning assets and securities available for sale are more than adequate to meet the Company’s current liquidity needs. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Company include the ability to issue additional retail brokered certificates of deposit and the ability to sell or securitize a portion of the Company’s residential first mortgage portfolio. The Company also has available federal funds lines and its membership in the FHLB to further augment liquidity by providing a readily accessible source of funds at competitive rates.

The Company accepts funds from various local and state governments. Total public deposits at December 31, 2009, were $43.9 million compared to $49.3 million at December 31, 2008, and $28.1 million at December 31, 2007. These deposits, considered non-core, generally are accepted on a bid basis and tend to fluctuate from year to year.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit to its customers. See Note O, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for a discussion of the Company’s commitments to extend credit as of December 31, 2009.

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources are substantially dependent on the ability of the Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. Under federal law, the directors of a national bank, after making proper deduction for all expenses and other deductions required by the Comptroller of the Currency, may credit net profits to the bank’s undivided profits account, and may declare a dividend from that account of so much of the net profits as they judge expedient. The Comptroller and the Federal Reserve Board have each indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings. The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is also limited by prudence, statutory and regulatory guidelines, and a variety of other factors.

Further, in connection with the acquisition of Natchez First Federal in 1993, the Bank assumed a liquidation account of approximately $2.8 million which has the effect of prohibiting the payment of dividends if the Bank’s net worth would thereby be reduced below the amount required for the liquidation account. Management does not anticipate that this restriction will have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company.

Certain restrictions exist on the ability of the Bank to transfer such funds to the Company in the form of loans. Federal Reserve regulations limit the amount the Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At December 31, 2009, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Company in the form of loans on a secured basis was $3.0 million. There were no loans outstanding from the Bank to the Company at December 31, 2009.

The Company’s asset/liability committee (“ALCO”) determines an appropriate level of capital and liquidity adequate to respond to the needs of depositors and borrowers. At December 31, 2009, the ALCO, in its report to the Board of Directors, indicated that it believes that the Company’s current level of liquidity is adequate to fund foreseeable asset growth or to meet unanticipated deposit fluctuations.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Bank enters into off-balance-sheet arrangements in the normal course of its business. For a discussion of such arrangements, see Note A, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies − Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments,” “− Interest-Rate Cap Agreements,” and “Interest-Rate Swap Agreements,” Note O, “Commitments and Contingencies,” and Note R, “Interest Rate Risk Management,” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company, in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Such discussion is incorporated by reference into this item.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries has prepared the consolidated financial statements and other information in our Annual Report on Form 10-K in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is responsible for the accuracy of the financial statements and other information. The financial statements necessarily include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.

In meeting its responsibility, management relies on internal accounting and 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 misuse. Such assurance cannot be absolute because of inherent limitations in any internal control system, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. The Company’s bank subsidiary, Britton & Koontz Bank, N.A., contracts with outside audit firms to monitor compliance in areas such as Information Technology and Bank Secrecy Act with the Company’s and Bank’s systems of internal controls and reports to management and to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors consists entirely of independent directors. The Audit Committee meets periodically with the internal auditor and the independent accountants to discuss audit, internal control, financial reporting and related matters. The Company’s independent accountants and the internal audit staff have direct access to the Audit Committee.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and further described in interpretive guidance regarding management’s report on internal control over financial reporting issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 2007. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management of the Company conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework , issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our assessment included an assessment of the design of the internal control system, a review of the documentation of controls and tests of the effectiveness of internal controls. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009 and meets the criteria described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework .

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

R EPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Changes in Stockholders' Equity, and Cash Flows for the years 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 audits.

We conducted our audits 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Britton & Koontz Bank, National Association (the “Bank”) and B & K Title Insurance Agency, Inc. (the “Agency”). All material inter-company profits, balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Nature of Operations

The Bank operates under a national bank charter and provides full banking services. The primary area served by the Bank is the southwest region of Mississippi and East Baton Rouge Parish in Louisiana. Services are provided at three locations in Natchez, Mississippi, two locations in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and three locations in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Agency’s operations were discontinued during 2006.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowance for loan losses may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

Investment Securities

Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase. If management has the positive intent and the Bank has the ability at the time of purchase to hold debt securities until maturity, they are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using methods approximating the interest method. Available-for-sale securities include securities that management intends to use as part of its asset and liability management strategy and that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates,

resultant prepayment risk and other related factors. These securities are carried at fair value. Trading securities are also carried at fair value. Equity securities primarily include stock in the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), which are restricted and are carried at cost.

Realized gains and losses on dispositions of investment securities are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted book value of the securities sold, using the specific identification method. Unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available-for-sale are based on the difference between book value and fair value of each security. These unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity, net of the related deferred tax effect. The Bank marks to market its trading portfolio at the end of each quarter with gains or losses reported to net income. Such changes in the fair value due to market changes may contribute to volatility in quarterly earnings. The Bank sold its portfolio of trading securities in early 2008 and does not currently intend to classify future securities purchases into this category.

Loans

Loans are stated at the amount of principal outstanding, reduced by unearned income and an allowance for loan losses. Unearned income on certain installment loans is recognized as income over the terms of the loans by a method which approximates the interest method. Interest on other loans is calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding. Loans are ordinarily placed on non-accrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more; however, management may elect to continue the accrual when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and the accrued interest. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on non-accrual loans is reversed from income. Interest income, generally, is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Interest income on other non-accrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans held-for-sale primarily consist of ten, fifteen and thirty-year fixed-rate, one-to-four family real estate loans which are valued at the lower of cost or market, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors or current investor yield requirements, calculated on an individual basis. These loans are originated with the intent of selling them in the secondary market.

Unrealized losses on loans held-for-sale are charged against income in the period of decline. Such declines are recorded in a valuation allowance account and deducted from the cost basis of the loans.

Gains on loans held-for-sale are recognized when realized. There were no gains or losses in the loans held-for-sale portfolio at December 31, 2009.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows. Credits deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Provisions for loan losses and recoveries on loans previously charged off are adjusted to the allowance. Past due status is determined based on contractual terms.

Bank Premises and Equipment

Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed by the straight-line method and is charged to expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 40 years.

Other Real Estate

Properties acquired through foreclosure or in settlement of loans and in lieu of loan foreclosures are classified as foreclosed properties and are valued at the lower of the loan value or estimated fair value of the property acquired less estimated selling costs. At the time of foreclosure, the excess, if any, of the loan value over the estimated fair value of the property acquired less estimated selling costs, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Additional decreases in the carrying values of foreclosed properties or changes in estimated selling costs, subsequent to the time of foreclosure, are recognized through provisions charged to operations. Revenues and expenses from operations and gains and losses on dispositions of such assets are recorded in earnings in the period incurred.

The fair value of foreclosed properties is determined based upon appraised value, utilizing either the estimated replacement cost, the selling price of properties utilized for similar purposes, or discounted cash flow analyses of the properties’ operations.

Compensated Absences

Employees of the Bank are entitled to paid vacation, emergency and sick days off, depending on length of service in the banking industry. Vacation, emergency and sick days are granted on an annual basis to eligible employees. Unused vacation and emergency days expire on December 31 of each year. Unused sick days expire on each employee’s employment anniversary date each year. The estimated amount of compensation for future absences is deemed immaterial to the consolidated financial statements; accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The Bank’s policy is to recognize the cost of compensated absences when actually paid to employees.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on amounts reported in the statements of income after exclusion of nontaxable income such as interest on state and municipal securities. Also, certain items of income and expenses are recognized in different time periods for financial statement purposes than for income tax purposes. Thus, provisions for deferred taxes are recorded in recognition of such temporary differences.

Deferred taxes are determined utilizing a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Consolidated income tax expense is allocated on the basis of each company’s income adjusted for permanent differences.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements. The Company does not believe it has any unrecognized tax benefits included in its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not recognized any interest or penalties in the consolidated financial statements, nor has it recorded an accrued liability for interest or penalty payments.

The Company files income tax returns in the U. S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. All shares held by the Employee Stock Ownership Plan are treated as outstanding in computing the earnings per share. Stock options are used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share if they are dilutive. Earnings per common share has been computed as follows:

The Company has granted options to purchase various amounts of the Company’s common stock at various prices ranging from $10.20 to $19.02 per share. Those options whose exercise price exceeded the average market price of the common shares are not included in the options adjustment for diluted earnings per share.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of interest-rate swap and cap agreements, commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Financial instruments related to loans are recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers only cash and due from banks to be cash equivalents.

Advertising Costs

Advertising and marketing costs are recorded as expenses in the year in which they are incurred. Advertising and marketing costs charged to operations during 2009 and 2008 were $236,492 and $219,544, respectively.

Interest-Rate Cap Agreements

The Company uses these financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. The only caps currently used are embedded in Structured Repurchase Agreements as an increase in the interest rate.

Interest-Rate Swap Agreements

The Bank enters into interest-rate swap agreements to modify the interest rate characteristics of its assets and liabilities. These agreements may involve the receipt or payment of fixed rate amounts in exchange for floating rate interest receipts or payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest income or expense. The related amount payable to or receivable from counter-parties is included in other liabilities or assets. There were no interest-rate swap agreements in place at December 31, 2009 or 2008.

Amortization of Core Deposits

During 1999, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of three Union Planters, N.A. branches in Natchez and Vicksburg, Mississippi, which were accounted for as a purchase. The Bank paid a premium for the depositor relationship of $1,614,210. This premium is included in other assets and is being amortized over 15 years, which is the estimated life of the customer base.

Stock Compensation Plans

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity based instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Note J below sets forth information with respect to stock based awards.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-01, (Topic 105) “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 – The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the “Codification”) became the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, September 15, 2009, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.

Following this Statement, the FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates. The FASB does not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right. Accounting Standards Updates serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on changes in the Codification. The adoption of the Codification and ASU 2009-01 did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 115-2 and 124-2 “Recognition, Measurement and Disclosure of Other than Temporary Impairment” (included Topic 320 of the Codification). This accounting guidance amends the recognition guidance for other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities and expands the financial statement disclosures for other-than-temporary impairment losses on debt and equity securities. The recent guidance replaced the “intent and ability” indication in current guidance by specifying that (1) if a company does not have the intent to sell a debt security prior to recovery and (2) it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery, the security would not be considered other-than-temporarily impaired unless there is a credit loss. When an entity does not intend to sell the security, and it is more likely than not that the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it will recognize the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2009, the Company had no credit losses of an other-than-temporary impairment of securities.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the classifications adopted for reporting in 2009.

Subsequent Event

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio, caused by interest rate increases, are not credit issues and are deemed to be temporary. Cash flows from mortgage-backed securities and other U.S. government sponsored agencies are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States or by an agency of the United States government. The Company also has the ability to hold these securities until maturity and does not have the intent to sell and more likely will not be required to sell these securities prior to maturity. Thus the Company is not required to record any loss on the securities.

Equity securities at December 31, 2009 and 2008, include the following: FHLB stock of $2,437,600 and $3,186,700 for 2009 and 2008, respectively; Federal Reserve Bank stock of $521,700 for 2009 and 2008; First National Bankers Bank stock in the amount of $47,800 for 2009 and 2008; an investment in Enterprise Corporation of the Delta investments, LLC of $100,000 in 2009 and $98,738 in 2008 and a $155,000 investment in B&K Statutory Trust for both years. Redemptions of stock in the FHLB during 2009 and 2008 amounted to $756,300 and $945,000, respectively, due to the declining borrowed funds level. The FHLB, Federal Reserve Bank and First National Bankers Bank stocks are considered restricted stock as only banks, which are members of these organizations, may acquire or redeem them. The stock is redeemable at its face value; therefore, there are no gross unrealized gains or losses associated with these investments.

Investment securities with an amortized cost of approximately $108,047,000 (approximate fair value $111,626,000) at December 31, 2009, and approximately $115,847,000 (approximate fair value $117,909,000) at December 31, 2008, were pledged to collateralize public deposits and for other

Level 1 includes the most reliable sources, and includes quoted prices in active markets. Level 2 includes observable inputs. Observable inputs are defined to include inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) as well as inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs). Level 3 includes unobservable inputs and should be used only when observable inputs are unavailable.

The Company has the right to call these debentures quarterly.

NOTE J. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Bank has an employee stock ownership plan which is designed to invest primarily in employer stock. All employees of the Bank with one year of service and who are at least 21 years old are covered, and are fully vested after six years of service. Employer contributions are determined annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are allocated among participants on the basis of their total annual compensation. Dividends on stock owned by the plan are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. There were no Company contributions to the plan for the years 2009 or 2008. The plan owned 86,645 and 79,527 shares of Company stock, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The overall cost to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, was $9.36 and $9.14 per share, respectively.

Employees age 21 and older are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan established by the Bank. Under this plan, employees may defer a percentage of their salaries, subject to limits based on federal tax laws. These deferrals are immediately vested. Employer matching and profit sharing contributions are non-mandatory and 100% vested after six years. Employer contributions to the plan are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and aggregated $120,294 and $126,654 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE J. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (Continued)

The Company maintains a long-term incentive plan, the Britton Koontz Capital Corporation 2007 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2007 LTIP”), in which all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries may participate. The plan is administered by a committee of at least two non-employee directors appointed by the full Board of Directors. The 2007 LTIP was approved by the Company’s shareholders on April 24, 2007, and replaced the Company’s 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “1996 LTIP”). There were 86,630 shares remaining available for grant or award under the 1996 LTIP that have been added to the shares available for grant or award under the 2007 LTIP. The Company has granted options to purchase a total of 126,143 shares, including 98,643 from the 1996 LTIP and 27,500 from the 2007 LTIP. An aggregate of 74,880 shares remained available for grant or award at December 31, 2009, under the 2007 LTIP. The Company awarded 8,500 shares of restricted stock during 2009.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were made in estimating fair values in 2009. No options were granted in 2008.

Assumption	2009
Dividend yield		5.45	%
Risk free rate		1.33	%
Expected life	2.5 years
Expected volatility		72.94	%

Share-based transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument issued. Net income after tax for 2009 and 2008 was reduced by $38,000 and $13,000, respectively, due to valuing stock options.

The Bank maintains a Salary Continuation Agreement with its chief executive officer. The agreement provides equal annual benefits for a period of 15 years following the later of (1) his attainment of age 65, or (2) his retirement. The amount of the benefit is fixed and is based on the chief executive’s age when his employment ceases; the maximum annual benefit that he may receive under the plan is $40,000. The chief executive is fully vested in his benefit. If the chief executive dies while he is employed, his beneficiaries will be paid an annual benefit equal to $40,000 during the 15-year period following his date of death. If he dies after his installment payments have commenced, his beneficiaries will receive the remaining payments. The benefit under the Salary Continuation Agreement is subject to forfeiture if the chief executive is terminated for cause. The agreement also contains a non-competition covenant during the three-year period after his employment ceases for any reason. If he breaches this covenant, the Bank may cease all further payments. The Bank is also currently paying benefits to a retired executive officer pursuant to a salary continuation agreement. The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 include salary continuation expenses of $37,080 and $35,388, respectively.

NOTE K. LEASES

The Bank leases two branch offices as well as parking space under operating leases which expire in various years through 2014. Rent expense was $114,715 and $106,992 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE M. SECURITIES SOLD UNDER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank had sold various investment securities with an agreement to repurchase these securities at various times. The underlying securities are U.S. Government obligations and obligations of other U.S. Government agencies and corporations with a book value of approximately $58 million, and an approximate fair value of $61 million. These securities generally remain under the Bank's control and are included in investment securities. At December 31, 2009, these securities had coupon rates ranging from 4.50% to 5.50% and maturity dates ranging from 2018 to 2037.

The related liability to repurchase these securities, included in securities sold under repurchase agreements, was $53 million at December 31, 2009, and $52 million at December 31, 2008. The Company has entered into two $20 million transactions with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”). The remaining liability of $13 million in 2009 and $12 million in 2008 primarily includes agreements that the Company has entered into with local customers for overnight sweep accounts and term repurchase agreements with rates ranging from .25% to 2.68%. The maximum amount of outstanding agreements at any month-end was $53 million and $54 million during 2009 and 2008, respectively. The monthly average amount of outstanding agreements was $51 million during both 2009 and 2008.

NOTE N.

REGULATORY MATTERS

The primary source of the Company’s revenue is dividends from the Bank. Federal banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by the Bank to the Company. Under federal law, the directors of a national bank, after making proper deduction for all expenses and other deductions required by the Comptroller of the Currency, may credit net profits to the bank’s undivided profits account, and may declare a dividend from that account of so much of the net profits as they judge expedient. The Comptroller and the Federal Reserve Board have each indicated that banking organizations should generally pay dividends only out of current operating earnings. The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is also limited by prudence, statutory and regulatory guidelines, and a variety of other factors. At December 31, 2009, $3.6 million was available for dividends out of current operating earnings.

NOTE N.

REGULATORY MATTERS (Continued)

Federal Reserve regulations limit the amount the Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At December 31, 2009, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Company in the form of loans on a secured basis was $3.0 million. There were no loans outstanding from the Bank to the Company at December 31, 2009. Any such distribution is also subject to the requirements described in the following paragraphs.

In accordance with Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, a special “Liquidation Account” has been established for the benefit of certain Qualifying Depositors of Natchez First Federal Savings Bank (acquired by the Bank in 1993) in an initial amount of approximately $2.8 million. The Liquidation Account serves as a restriction on the distribution of stockholders’ equity in the Bank and no cash dividend may be paid on its capital stock if the effect thereof would be to cause the regulatory capital of the Bank to be reduced below an amount equal to the adjusted Liquidation Account balance.

In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, each Qualifying Depositor would be entitled to his or her pro rata interest in the Liquidation Account. Such claims would be paid before payment to the Company as the Bank’s sole shareholder. A merger, consolidation, purchase of assets and assumption of deposits and/or other liabilities or similar transaction, with an FDIC-insured institution, would not be a complete liquidation for the purpose of paying the Liquidation Account. In such a transaction, the Liquidation Account would be required to be assumed by the surviving institution.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s and Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2009, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

The most recent regulatory notification categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory capital framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

The Company’s (consolidated) and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, are presented in the following table.

NOTE O. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk entered into in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend money at fixed and variable rates with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses. The Bank applies the same credit standards used in the lending process when extending these commitments, and periodically reassesses the customer’s creditworthiness through ongoing credit reviews. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Collateral is obtained based on the Bank’s assessment of the transaction. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Bank’s commitments to extend credit totaled $43,423,096 and $52,133,219, respectively.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk and collateralization policy involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Bank had total unfunded letters of credit of $4,373,546 and $3,575,427 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Bank is required to maintain average reserves at the Federal Reserve Bank. This requirement approximated $275,000 at December 31, 2009. The Bank is in compliance with this requirement.

There were $784,063 and $0 loans held for sale at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

The Bank has outstanding lines of credit with several of its correspondent banks available to assist in the management of short-term liquidity. At December 31, 2009, the total available lines of credit were $38 million with an outstanding balance of $ -0- as reflected on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank, are involved in certain litigation incurred in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management and legal counsel, liabilities arising from such claims, if any, would not have a material effect upon the Company's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE P. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT

Substantially all of the Bank’s loans, commitments, and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Bank’s market area. The majority of investments in state and municipal securities involve governmental entities in and around the Bank's market area. The concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note C, and there are no other concentrations of credit other than those in the categories set forth in Note C. The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Standby letters of credit are granted primarily to commercial borrowers. The Bank maintains deposit accounts and federal funds sold with correspondent banks which may, periodically, exceed the federally insured amount.

NOTE Q. DIVIDENDS

The Bank paid dividends to the Company amounting to $0 and $2,800,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE R. INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

There were no interest rate swaps at December 31, 2009.

NOTE S. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments are excluded from these disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and Due From Banks - Fair value equals the carrying value of such assets.

Federal Funds Sold - Due to the short-term nature of this asset, the carrying value of this item approximates its fair value.

Investment Securities - Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance - The fair value of this item approximates its carrying value.

Loans, Net - For variable-rate loans which are repricing immediately, fair values are based on carrying values. Other variable-rate loans, fixed-rate commercial loans, installment loans, and mortgage loans are valued using discounted cash flows. The discount rates used to determine the present value of these loans are based on interest rates currently being charged by the Bank on loans with comparable credit risk and terms.

Deposits - The fair values of demand deposits are equal to the carrying value of such deposits. Demand deposits include non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts, and money market demand accounts. Discounted cash flows have been used to value fixed rate term

deposits. The discount rate used is based on interest rates currently being offered by the Bank on deposits with comparable amounts and terms.

Long-Term Borrowings - The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing ratio for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Federal Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements - The fair value of these items approximates their carrying values.

Off-Balance Sheet Instruments - Loan commitments are negotiated at current market rates and are relatively short-term in nature. Therefore, the estimated value of loan commitments approximates the face amount. Fair values for interest rate swaps and caps are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, rounded to the nearest thousand, are as follows:
