PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM NO. 1. BUSINESS

General Development and Structure of Business

     Security Capital Corporation is a one-bank holding company and has two subsidiaries, First Security Bank and Batesville Security Building Corporation.

     As a bank holding company, Security Capital Corporation engages in the business of banking through its sole banking subsidiary and may engage in certain non-banking activities closely related to banking and may own certain other business corporations that are not banks, subject to applicable laws and regulations. Security Capital Corporation is not currently engaging in non-bank activities, and does not own any business corporations except for Batesville Security Building Corporation and has no current plans to engage in non-bank activities or own any other business corporations.

     Security Capital Corporation was incorporated on September 16, 1982 for the purpose of acquiring First Security Bank and serving as a one-bank holding company.

     First Security Bank was originally chartered under the laws of the State of Mississippi on October 25, 1951.

     Batesville Security Building Corporation, the nonbank subsidiary, was chartered under the laws of the State of Mississippi on June 23, 1971, for the purpose of acquiring real estate; to hold, improve, develop, operate, manage, mortgage, sell, exchange and lease and to generally deal and manage real estate and personal property. Batesville Security Building Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of Security Capital Corporation which has been inactive in the past years but in 2004 reactivated its operations by investing in new leasehold improvements.

     Security Capital Corporation’s home or principal office is located at 295 Highway 6 West, Batesville, Mississippi, 38606. The telephone of the home or principal office is (662) 563-9311. First Security Bank's website is www.firstsecuritybk.com

    
Operations

     Security Capital Corporation, through First Security Bank, engages in a wide range of banking activities, including accepting demand deposits, accepting savings and time deposit accounts, making secured and unsecured loans to corporations, individuals and others, issuing credit cards, issuing and processing ATM cards and debit cards, issuing commercial and standby letters of credit, originating mortgage loans, and providing personal and corporate trust services.

     Security Capital Corporation’s lending services include commercial, real estate, installment, credit card loans, merchant accounts receivable loans, student loans, and agricultural loans. Revenues from Security Capital Corporation’s Lending activities constitute the largest component of Security Capital Corporation’s operating revenues.

     At December 31, 2004, the loan portfolio totaled $234,403 constituting 67% of the earning assets of $349,276. Security Capital Corporation’s loan personnel have the authority to extend credit under guidelines established and approved by the Board of Directors. Any aggregate credit which exceeds the authority of the loan officer or a combination of several authority limits is forwarded to the Loan Committee for approval. The Loan Committee is comprised of various Bank Directors, including the Chairman.

     Security Capital Corporation’s primary lending areas are the counties of Desoto, Panola, Quitman and Tunica in the State of Mississippi. Security Capital Corporation may extend credit to borrowers out of the primary lending area but on a limited basis in which the risk is low and/or a relationship may exist with the borrower and an industry or a development in the primary lending area.

     The following tables provide demographic information for Desoto, Panola, Quitman and Tunica counties, and for the State of Mississippi:

     Panola County and Quitman County are rural areas, in which agriculture and industry play a big part in the economy. Desoto County and Tunica County have a different economic structure. The growth and composition of Desoto County has been dictated, primarily, by the outflow from Memphis, Tennessee, seeking residential living developments as well as locations for retail businesses and other commercial developments outside the Memphis city limits. Tunica County’s economy is dependent on the gaming industry to provide employment and to provide resources for the operation of the county. The numerous casinos in the Tunica area employ residents from the surrounding counties and residents from the States of Tennessee and Arkansas.

     Security Capital Corporation has in the past and intends to continue to make most types of real estate loans including but not limited to single and multi-family housing, farm loans, residential and commercial construction loans and loans for commercial real estate.

     Major classifications of loans were as follows:

     The success of the loan portfolio is not dependent on a single borrower or group of borrowers. The large loans of the loan portfolio are defined as those loans with a balance of $337,000 and over. As of December 31, 2004, the loan portfolio totals $234.4 million of which the large lines total $65 million representing 68 borrowers.

     Security Capital Corporation provides a wide range of personal and corporate trust and trust-related services which includes serving as executor of estates, as trustee under testamentary and inter vivos trusts and various pension and other employee benefit plans, as guardian of the estates of minors and incompetents, as escrow agent under various agreements, as transfer agent and paying agent of registered bond issues, and as custodian for assets invested. In addition, the Trust Department of First Security Bank offers a variety of investment tools which includes a money management and financial planning program that uses the skills and abilities of a Certified Financial Planner and a Certified Retirement Services Professional among other specialists who are within the employment of First Security Bank and the Trust Department.

     In recent years, Security Capital Corporation has opened several new locations to expand the First Security Banking area. In October of 1998, First Security Banking locations at Como, Mississippi, and Crenshaw, Mississippi, were purchased from First Tennessee Bank. In July of 1999, Planters Bank in Tunica was purchased from First Tennessee Bank. In December of 1995, a loan production office opened in Desoto County in the city of Olive Branch with one employee. In June of 1997, a full service bank branch opened and continued First Security Bank’s operation in the Olive Branch area with four employees. In October of 2001, First Security Bank’s operation in Olive Branch moved to a newly constructed building with features of four drive-thru lanes and a total square footage of 7,000 to accommodate the projected growth in that area. The number of employees at Olive Branch in 2002 grew to twelve. In January 2001, a loan production office officially opened in Desoto County in the city of Hernando. On July 1, 2002, the operation in Hernando moved from a loan production facility to a newly constructed building, a sister to the Olive Branch building, providing full banking services. In August of 2003, a branch was opened in the town of Pope. In 2004, First Security Bank prepared to continue to expand in the Desoto County area with the construction of a new branch in Southaven with an anticipated 2005 opening. The Security Capital Corporation has offered ATM services for numerous years and began in 1995 "running" its own ATMs. Today, First Security Bank provides ATM services at twenty-two locations, fifteen of which are not located on bank property. First Security Bank, also, provides the customer with 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, access to their account balances and activity through a telephone banking product called First Line. Initiated in October of 2002, First Security Bank offered internet banking, called First Teller, to accommodate those customers desiring through technology to review their account’s activity and images of the activity, if applicable, and pay their bills from anywhere in the world.

Employees

On December 31, 2004, First Security Bank had 162 full-time equivalent employees.
    

Supervision and Regulation

     Security Capital Corporation and First Security Bank are subject to state and federal banking laws and regulations which impose specific requirements or restrictions on and provide for general regulatory oversight with respect to virtually all aspects of operations. These laws and regulations are generally intended to protect depositors, not shareholders. To the extent that the following summary describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on the business and prospects of Security Capital Corporation. Beginning with the enactment of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") and following with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") and the Gramm Leach Bliley Act of 1999 (the "Financial Services Modernization Act"), numerous additional regulatory requirements have been placed on the banking industry in the past several years, and additional changes have been proposed. The operations of Security Capital Corporation and First Security Bank may be affected by legislative changes and the policies of various regulatory authorities. Security Capital Corporation is unable to predict the nature or the extent of the effect on its business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, economic control, or new federal or state legislation may have in the future.

     Security Capital Corporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the "BHCA").

The BHCA.
     Under the BHCA, Security Capital Corporation is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve and is required to file periodic reports of its operations and such additional information as the Federal Reserve may require. Security Capital Corporation's and First Security Bank' activities are limited to banking, managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries, and engaging in other activities that the Federal Reserve determines to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.

Investments, Control, and Activities.
     With certain limited exceptions, the BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before (i) acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank, (ii) acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if after such acquisition it would own or control more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares), or (iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.

     In addition, and subject to certain exceptions, the BHCA and the Change in Bank Control Act, together with regulations thereunder, require Federal Reserve approval (or, depending on the circumstances, no notice of disapproval) prior to any person or company acquiring "control" of a bank holding company, such as Security Capital Corporation. Control is conclusively presumed to exist if an individual or company acquires 25% or more of any class of voting securities of the bank holding company. Control is rebuttably presumed to exist if a person acquires 10% or more but less than 25% of any class of voting securities and either Security Capital Corporation has registered securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or no other person owns a greater percentage of that class of voting securities immediately after the transaction. The regulations provide a procedure for challenge of the rebuttable control presumption.

     Under the BHCA, a bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in, or acquiring direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company engaged in nonbanking activities, unless the Federal Reserve Board, by order or regulation, has found those activities to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Some of the activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined by regulation to be proper incidents to the business of a bank holding company include making or servicing loans and certain types of leases, engaging in certain insurance and discount brokerage activities, performing certain data processing services, acting in certain circumstances as a fiduciary or investment or financial adviser, owning savings associations, and making investments in certain corporations or projects designed primarily to promote community welfare.

     The Federal Reserve Board has imposed certain capital requirements on bank holding companies under the BHCA, including a minimum leverage ratio and a minimum ratio of "qualifying" capital to risk weighted assets. These requirements are described below under "Capital Regulations." Subject to its capital requirements and certain other restrictions, Security Capital Corporation may borrow money to make a capital contribution to First Security Bank, and such loans may be repaid from dividends paid from First Security Bank to Security Capital Corporation (although the ability of First Security Bank to pay dividends is subject to regulatory restrictions as described below in "Dividends" under Item 5). Security Capital Corporation is also able to raise capital for contribution to First Security Bank by issuing securities without having to receive regulatory approval, subject to compliance with federal and state securities laws.

Source of Strength; Cross Guarantee.
     In accordance with Federal Reserve Board policy, Security Capital Corporation is expected to act as a source of financial strength to First Security Bank and to commit resources to support First Security Bank in circumstances in which Security Capital Corporation might not otherwise do so. Under the BHCA, the Federal Reserve Board may require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve Board's determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness or stability of any subsidiary depository institution of the bank holding company. Further, federal bank regulatory authorities have additional discretion to require a bank holding company to divest itself of any bank or nonbank subsidiary if the agency determines that divestiture may aid the depository institution's financial condition.

State and FDIC Regulation.
     First Security Bank is subject to regulation and periodic examinations by the FDIC and the State of Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance. These regulatory authorities examine such areas as reserves, loan and investment quality, management policies, procedures and practices and other aspects of operations. These examinations are designed for the protection of the Banks' depositors, rather than their stockholders. In addition to these regular examinations, the Company and the Banks must furnish periodic reports to their respective regulatory authorities containing a full and accurate statement of their affairs.

FDICIA.
     All insured institutions must undergo regular on site examinations by their appropriate banking agency. The cost of examinations of insured depository institutions and any affiliates may be assessed by the appropriate agency against each institution or affiliate as it deems necessary or appropriate. Insured institutions are required to submit annual reports to the FDIC and the appropriate agency (and state supervisor when applicable). FDICIA also directs the FDIC to develop with other appropriate agencies a method for insured depository institutions to provide supplemental disclosure of the estimated fair market value of assets and liabilities, to the extent feasible and practicable, in any balance sheet, financial statement, report of condition, or any other report of any insured depository institution. FDICIA also requires the federal banking regulatory agencies to prescribe, by regulation, standards for all insured depository institutions and depository institution holding companies relating, among other things, to: (i) internal controls, information systems, and audit systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate risk exposure; and (v) asset quality.

     FDICIA contains a "prompt corrective action" section intended to resolve problem institutions at the least possible long-term cost to the deposit insurance funds. Pursuant to this section, the federal banking agencies are required to prescribe a leverage limit and a risk-based capital requirement indicating levels at which institutions will be deemed to be "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized." In the case of a depository institution that is "critically undercapitalized" (a term defined to include institutions which still have positive net worth), the federal banking regulators are generally required to appoint a conservator or receiver.

Deposit Insurance.
     The FDIC establishes rates for the payment of premiums by federally insured banks and thrifts for deposit insurance. A separate Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") are maintained for commercial banks and thrifts, respectively, with insurance premiums from the industry used to offset losses from insurance payouts when banks and thrifts fail. Since 1993, insured depository institutions like First Security Bank have paid for deposit insurance under a risk based premium system.

Transactions With Affiliates and Insiders.
     First Security Bank is subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act, which places limits on the amount of loans to, and certain other transactions with, affiliates, as well as on the amount of advances to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of affiliates. The aggregate of all covered transactions is limited in amount, as to any one affiliate, to 10% of the Bank's capital and surplus and, as to all affiliates combined, to 20% of the Bank's capital and surplus. Furthermore, within the foregoing limitations as to amount, each covered transaction must meet specified collateral requirements.

     First Security Bank is also subject to Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, which prohibits an institution from engaging in certain transactions with affiliates unless the transactions are on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to such institution, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with nonaffiliated companies. First Security Bank is subject to certain restrictions on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, certain principal shareholders, and their related interests. Such extensions of credit (i) must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with third parties and (ii) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.

Community Reinvestment Act.
     The Community Reinvestment Act requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions within their respective jurisdictions, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC, the OCC, or the Office of Thrift Supervision shall evaluate the record of the financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those institutions. These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open a branch or facility.

     The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), which became law on July 30, 2002, added new legal requirements for all publicly-held companies affecting corporate governance, accounting and corporate reporting. The Securities and Exchange Commission has been delegated the task of enacting rules to implement various provisions, and the Company is required to comply with such rules to the extent they are applicable to the Company. In addition, each of the national stock exchanges has developed new corporate governance rules, including rules strengthening director independence requirements for boards, the adoption of corporate governance codes, and charters for the nominating and audit committees.

Other Regulations.
     Interest and certain other charges collected or contracted for by First Security Bank are subject to state usury laws and certain federal laws concerning interest rates. First Security Bank's loan operations are subject to certain federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the federal Truth In Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers; the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs community it serves; the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit; the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 1978, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies; the Fair Debt Collection Act, concerning the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies; and the rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws. The deposit operations of First Security Bank also are subject to the Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records, and the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E issued by the Federal Reserve Board to implement that Act, which governs automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers' rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services.

Enforcement Powers.
     FIRREA expanded and increased civil and criminal penalties available for use by the federal regulatory agencies against depository institutions and certain "institution affiliated parties" (primarily including management, employees, and agents of a financial institution, independent contractors such as attorneys and accountants, and others who participate in the conduct of the financial institution's affairs). These practices can include the failure of an institution to timely file required reports; the filing of false or misleading information; or the submission of inaccurate reports. Civil penalties may be as high as $1,000,000 a day for such violations. Criminal penalties for some financial institution crimes have been increased to twenty years. In addition, regulators are provided with greater flexibility to commence enforcement actions against institutions and institution affiliated parties. Possible enforcement actions include the termination of deposit insurance. Furthermore, FIRREA expanded the appropriate banking agencies' power to issue cease and desist orders that may, among other things, require affirmative action to correct any harm resulting from a violation or practice, including restitution, reimbursement, indemnifications, or guarantees against loss. A financial institution may also be ordered to restrict its growth, dispose of certain assets, rescind agreements or contracts, or take other actions as determined by the ordering agency to be appropriate.

Effect of Governmental Monetary Policies.
     The earnings of First Security Bank are affected by domestic economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States government and its agencies. The Federal Reserve Board's monetary policies have had, and are likely to continue to have, an important impact on the operating results of commercial banks through its power to implement national monetary policy in order, among other things, to curb inflation or combat a recession. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have major effects upon the levels of bank loans, investments, and deposits through its open market operations in United States government securities and through its regulation of the discount rate on borrowings of member banks and the reserve requirements against member bank deposits. It is not possible to predict the nature or impact of future changes in monetary and fiscal policies.

Financial Services Modernization Act.
     On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the Gramm Leach Bliley Act of 1999 (the "Financial Services Modernization Act"). The Financial Services Modernization Act repeals the two affiliation provisions of the Glass Steagall Act: Section 20, which restricted the affiliation of Federal Reserve Member Banks with firms "engaged principally" in specified securities activities; and Section 32, which restricts officer, director, or employee interlocks between a member bank and any company or person "primarily engaged" in specified securities activities. In addition, the Financial Services Modernization Act also contains provisions that expressly preempt any state law restricting the establishment of financial affiliations, primarily related to insurance. The general effect of the law is to establish a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and other financial service providers by revising and expanding the BHCA framework to permit a holding company system to engage in a full range of financial activities through a new entity known as a Financial Holding Company. "Financial activities" is broadly defined to include not only banking, insurance, and securities activities, but also merchant banking and additional activities that the Federal Reserve, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines to be financial in nature, incidental to such financial activities, or complementary activities that do not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally.

     Generally, the Financial Services Modernization Act:

• Repeals historical restrictions on, and eliminates many federal and state law barriers to, affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance companies, and other financial service providers;
      
• Provides a uniform framework for the functional regulation of the activities of banks, savings institutions, and their holding companies;
      
• Broadens the activities that may be conducted by national banks, banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies, and their financial subsidiaries;
      
• Provides an enhanced framework for protecting the privacy of consumer information;
      
• Adopts a number of provisions related to the capitalization, membership, corporate governance, and other measures designed to modernize the Federal Home Loan Bank system;
      
• Modifies the laws governing the implementation of the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"); and
      
• Addresses a variety of other legal and regulatory issues affecting both day to day operations and long term activities of financial institutions.

     In order for a bank holding company to take advantage of the ability to affiliate with other financial services providers, that company must become a "Financial Holding Company" as permitted under an amendment to the BHCA. To become a Financial Holding Company, Security Capital Corporation would file a declaration with the Federal Reserve, electing to engage in activities permissible for Financial Holding Companies and certifying that it is eligible to do so because all of its insured depository institution subsidiaries are well capitalized and well managed. In addition, the Federal Reserve must also determine that each insured depository institution subsidiary of Security Capital Corporation has at least a "satisfactory" CRA rating.

     The Financial Services Modernization Act also includes a new section of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act governing subsidiaries of state banks that engage in "activities as principal that would only be permissible" for a national bank to conduct in a financial subsidiary. It expressly preserves the ability of a state bank to retain all existing subsidiaries. In order to form a financial subsidiary, a state bank must be well capitalized, and the state bank would be subject to the same capital deduction, risk management and affiliate transaction rules as applicable to national banks.

     Security Capital Corporation and First Security Bank do not believe that the Financial Services Modernization Act will have a material adverse effect on operations in the near term. However, to the extent that it permits banks, securities firms, and insurance companies to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further consolidation. The Financial Services Modernization Act is intended to grant to community banks certain powers as a matter of right that larger institutions have accumulated on an ad hoc basis. Nevertheless, this act may have the result of increasing the amount of competition that Security Capital Corporation and First Security Bank face from larger institutions and other types of companies offering financial products, many of which may have substantially more financial resources than Security Capital Corporation and First Security Bank.

Capital.
     Security Capital Corporation and First Security Bank are required to comply with the capital adequacy standards established by the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC. There are two basic measures of capital adequacy for bank holding companies and their banking subsidiaries: a risk based measure and a leverage measure.

     The risk based capital standards are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profile among depository institutions and bank holding companies, to account for off balance sheet exposure, and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk weighted assets and off balance sheet items.

     The minimum guideline for the total capital to risk weighted assets, including certain off balance sheet items such as standby letters of credit ("total capital ratio") is 8.0 percent. At least half of total capital must be composed of common equity, undivided profits, minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets ("Tier 1 capital"). The remainder may consist of subordinated debt, other preferred stock, a limited amount of loan loss reserves, and unrealized gains on equity securities subject to limitations ("Tier 2 capital").

     The following table represents the capital ratios for Security Capital Corporation and First Security Bank as of December 31, 2004:

Deposit Insurance Assessments.
     The deposits of First Security Bank are insured by the FDIC up to the limits set forth under applicable law. A majority of the deposits of First Security Bank are subject to the deposit insurance assessments of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC. However, a portion of First Security Bank's deposits, relating to a savings association acquisition, are subject to assessments imposed by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the FDIC. The FDIC equalized the assessment rates for BIF insured and SAIF insured deposits effective January 1, 1997. The assessments imposed on all FDIC deposits for deposit insurance have an effective rate ranging from 0 to 27 basis points per $100 of insured deposits, depending on the institution's capital position and other supervisory factors. Legislation was enacted in 1996 requiring both SAIF insured and BIF insured deposits to pay a pro rata portion of the interest due on the obligations issued by the Financing Corporation ("FICO"). Based on the assigned FICO debt service rates, the assessments paid by the Bank during 2004 ranged from 1.54 basis points to 1.46 basis points, per $100 of deposits. The assessments for the first quarter of 2005 will be paid based on an assigned FICO debt service rate of 1.44 basis points

Competition

The banking business is a highly competitive business. Security Capital Corporation’s market area consists principally of Panola, Quitman, Desoto and Tunica Counties in Mississippi. Security Capital Corporation competes with other financial institutions, as well as insurance companies and various other entities, for deposits and in providing financial services in these counties and the surrounding counties. Security Capital Corporation, as provided by the FDIC Market Share Report of June 30, 2004 (the latest Market Share Report), held 56.45% of the deposit market in Panola County. In Quitman County - an area with no growth and poor economy in the best of years - this same report reflects Security Capital Corporation holding 20.53 % of the deposit market. In Desoto County, an area filled with large regional banks and national banks, Security Capital Corporation occupies a growing share of 5.83% of the deposit market as of June 30, 2004. Management measures the success of the locations in this area, not only by the growth of the deposits, but by its ability to continue to be competitive and to grow in the loan production area. In Tunica County, Security Capital Corporation experienced growth as indicated by its 41.77% share of the deposit base.

Risk Factors

Because of the Lack of an Established Trading Market and Restrictions on Transfer, Shareholders May Not be Able to Quickly and Easily Sell Their Common Stock.
There has been no established or liquid market for the Common Stock. Because of the substantial restrictions on transfer of the Common Stock, Security Capital Corporation does not anticipate that a reliable or liquid secondary trading market for the Common Stock will exist or develop in the foreseeable future.

Changes in Local Economic Conditions Could Reduce Our Income and Growth, and Could Lead to Higher Levels of Problem Loans and Charge-Offs.
Security Capital Corporation makes loans, and most of its assets are located in Panola, Quitman, Desoto, and Tunica Counties in Mississippi. Adverse changes in economic conditions in these areas could hurt Security Capital Corporation's ability to collect loans, could reduce the demand for loans, and could negatively impact performance and financial condition.

Security Capital Corporation's Profitability Depends on Economic Policies and Factors Beyond Our Control.
Security Capital Corporation’s earnings depend to a great extent on "rate differentials," which are the differences between interest income that Security Capital Corporation earns on loans and investments and the interest expense paid on deposits and other borrowings. These rates are highly sensitive to many factors which are beyond Security Capital Corporation’s control, including general economic conditions and the policies of various government and regulatory authorities. Changes in interest rate policy by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System affect Security Capital Corporation’s interest income, interest expense and investment portfolio. Also, governmental policies such as the creation of a tax deduction for individual retirement accounts can increase savings and affect the cost of funds. A rapid increase or decrease in interest rates could have an adverse effect on the net interest margin and results of operations of Security Capital Corporation. The nature, timing and effect of any future changes in federal monetary and fiscal policies on Security Capital Corporation and its results of operations are not predictable.

There is No Assurance That Security Capital Corporation Will be Able to Successfully Compete with Others for Business.

The banking business is highly competitive, and the profitability of Security Capital Corporation depends principally upon its ability to compete in the market areas where its banking operations are located. Security Capital Corporation competes with other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage companies, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking firms, asset based non bank lenders and certain other non financial entities, including retail stores which may maintain their own credit programs and certain governmental organizations which may offer more favorable financing than Security Capital Corporation. Many of these competitors have greater financial and other resources than Security Capital Corporation, and certain larger competitors are recent entrants into Security Capital Corporation’s markets.

     First Security Bank is the defendant in a case styled Amy French, individually, and Austin Lenard, a minor, by and through His Next Friend and Mother, Amy French vs. First Security Bank and Joshua Hawkins, Cause No. 2002-327-BB, filed on December 17, 2002 in the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial District of Panola County, Mississippi. The case involves an accident that occurred when a First Security Bank employee traveling in his personal vehicle to service an ATM was involved in an automobile accident. The pregnant occupant of the other vehicle gave birth later that day. The claims in the lawsuit are that the mother and child are experiencing permanent and continuing injuries, and the plaintiffs ask for compensatory damages in the amount determined to be fair by the jury. Analysis by legal counsel anticipates possible awards to the claimants to be within the insurance coverage with no potential loss to the Bank and closure of the case is dependent on forthcoming medical documentation on status of claimants.

     From time to time First Security Bank is a defendant in various other lawsuits arising out of the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of this category of claims should not have a material adverse effect on Security Capital Corporation’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
