ITEM NO. 2 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion contains "forward-looking statements" relating to, without limitation, future economic performance, plan and objectives of management for future operations, and projections of revenues and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of the Company's management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company's management. The words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," and "believe," as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company's actual results may differ and the Company's operating performance each quarter is subject to various risks and uncertainties that are discussed in detail in the Company's filing of the Form 10-SB with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The subsidiary Bank represents the primary assets of the Company. On June 30, 2004, First Security Bank had approximately $377.1 million in assets compared to $336.2 million at June 30, 2003. Loans increased to $225.2 million at June 30, 2004 from $199.4 million at June 30, 2003. Deposits increased by $39.6 million from June 30, 2003 to June 30, 2004 for a total of $322.8 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, the Bank reported income of approximately $3,084,000 and $2,955,000, respectively.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
The cash and due from banks of $22.2 million at June 30, 2004 reflected a substantial increase from the cash position of $14 million at December 31, 2003. This temporary increase is attributed to a deposit of $6 million having been made on the ending day of the reporting period. The cash management team readily invests available cash and assesses the investment tools for the most desirable yield as displayed in the reduction in the federal funds sold from the position at December 31, 2003 and an increase in securities available for sale.

Average earning assets as a percentage of average assets has decreased over the reporting periods due to the Company's continuing investment in infrastructure. The average earning assets at December 31, 2003 was $150 million and at June 30, 2004 was $ 147. The investments in fixed assets continue to increase with the expansion of the banking services into the Southaven area. The premises and equipment at December 31, 2003 was $12.8 million as compared to $13.9 million at June 30, 2004. Other assets increased to $4.4 million at June 30, 2004 from $1.7 million at December 31, 2003, with the major components of the increase attributed to an increase in the customer liability acceptances and the accounting treatment of the unrealized gain of available-for-sale securities as reflected in the deferred tax asset.

Deposit liabilities at June 30, 2004 reflected a 10% growth or a $33.4 million increase for the first six months in 2004. The rise in deposits decreases the need for increments on long-term borrowings. Short-term borrowings are a requirement in providing funds as demonstrated by the temporary position in federal funds purchased of $2.5 million at June 30, 2004.

The net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities reflected in the shareholder's equity section on December 31, 2003 was approximately $1.3 million. Due to changes in the market in 2004, the net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities dropped to $56 thousand as of June 30, 2004. These changes in the market affected the comprehensive income with a decrease of $1.4 million for the three months ending June 30, 2004 and a decrease of $1.2 million for the six months ending June 30, 2004. In 2003, the three months and the six months ending June 30 reflected an increase in comprehensive income of $200 thousand and $150 thousand, respectively.

The consolidated statements of cash flows summarize the changes in the financial condition of the Company. The most prevalent of the changes for the six months ending June 30, 2004 are: an increase of $ 20.7 million in loans; a net increase in available-for-sale securities of $26.2 million; $3 million purchase in a new investment tool - FHLB term deposits; purchases of $1.5 million for premises and equipment of which the new real estate and construction costs comprise $1.1 million; an increase of $32.9 million in deposits and a decrease in federal funds sold of $19.7 million.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND RISK ELEMENTS.
Diversification within the loan portfolio is an important means of reducing inherent lending risks. The loan portfolio is represented of the following mix: Commercial 8.29%; Agricultural 2.67%; Real Estate 74.10%; Consumer 14.14% and Other .80%. The major components of the real estate loans are 26.31% for construction and land development property, 27.14% for first liens on 1-4 family residential property and 35.52% for nonfarm and nonresidential property.

At June 30, 2004, the subsidiary bank had loans past due as follows:

  (in thousands)
Past due 30 days through 89 days $4,098
Past due 90 days or more and still accruing $ 500

The accrual of interest is discontinued on loans which become ninety days past due unless the loans are adequately secured and in the process of collection. Nonaccrual loans totaled $78 thousand at June 30, 2004. Any other real estate owned is carried at lower of cost or current appraised value less cost to dispose. Other real estate at June 30, 2004 totaled $149 thousand. A loan is classified as a restructured loan when the interest rate is materially reduced or the term is extended beyond the original maturity date because of the inability of the borrower to service the debt under the original terms. The subsidiary bank had no restructured loans at June 30, 2004.

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company experienced $395 thousand in charge-offs of loans and $247 thousand in recoveries of loans for a net decrease effect to the Allowance for Loan Losses of $148 thousand. The net charge-offs represent .07% of loans. Of the $395 thousand charge to the allowance for non-performing loans, the breakdown is 11.14% for 1-4 family residential properties with first liens, 19.11% for 1-4 family residential properties with junior liens, .25% for commercial and industrial loans, 56.96% for consumer loans. Consumer loan collections of $225 thousand represent the major component of the $247 thousand in recoveries.

LIQUIDITY
The Company has an asset and liability management program that assists management in maintaining net interest margins during times of both rising and falling interest rates and in maintaining sufficient liquidity. As of June 30, 2004, Security Capital Corporation had a positive gap of 18.7% in a 12-month time frame. The regulatory liquidity ratio reflected 22.11%, well within the policy requirement of a minimum liquidity ratio of 15%. A 1% increase in market rates will increase net interest income by approximately .45% while a decrease in market rates will reduce net interest income by 1.78%. The Company's policy allows for no more than a 10% movement in NII (net interest income), in a 200 basis point ramp of market rates over a one-year period. Currently, a 200 basis point movement down would reduce NII by 4.16% while an upward movement of the same amount would increase NII by 2.93%. When funds exceed the needs for reserve requirements or short-term liquidity needs, the company will increase its security investments or sell federal funds. It is management's policy to maintain an adequate portion of its portfolio of assets and liabilities on a short-term basis to insure rate flexibility and to meet loan funding and liquidity needs.

The net interest margin forecasted in the Company's asset liability management analysis for the coming twelve months period is 4.58% based on no change in rates. This forecast is up from the 4.29% as forecasted for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in the forecast is due to the Company being asset sensitivity. With the substantial change in the markets since March 31, 2004, the Company's ability to reprice the asset side of the balance sheet higher and combined with the lagging impact upward rates typically have on the funding side of the balance sheet attribute to the increase in the forecasted net interest margin. If rates were to ramp up 200 basis points, the forecasted interest margin would be 4.65.

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the return on assets is reflected at 1.60% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003 of 1.70%.

At June 30, 2004, the tools to meet these needs are the secured and unsecured lines of credit with the correspondent banks totaling $23 million (to borrow federal funds) and the line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank that exceeds $83 million. At June 30, 2004, the Company had available (unused) line of credit of approximately $95 million.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total consolidated equity capital at June 30, 2004 was $42.8 million or approximately 11.30 of total assets. The main source of capital for the Corporation has been the retention of net income.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total Capital, Tier 1 Capital and Leverage Capital. Currently, the Company and the Bank have adequate capital positions as of June 30, 2004 as reflected below:

Risk-Based Capital Ratio Corporation Ratio Bank Ratio Requirements
Total Capital 16.20% 15.48%  8%
Tier 1 Capital 14.95% 14.23% 4%
Leverage Capital 10.62% 10.09% 3%

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had a consolidated net income for $3.0 million for the six months ending June 30, 2004, compared with consolidated net income of $2.9 million for the six months ending June 30, 2003.

Total interest income increased to $9 million for the six months ending June 30, 2004 from $8.521 million for the six months ending June 30, 2003, or an increase of 5.6. %. Earning assets through June 30, 2004 increased $31.3 million and interest-bearing liabilities increased $41.4 million compared to June 30, 2003, reflecting an increase of 10.55% and 17.10%, respectively.

Noninterest income for the six months ending June 30, 2004 was $3 million compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2003, reflecting an increase of $354 thousand or 13.1%. Included in noninterest income are service charges on deposit accounts, which for each of the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 totaled $1.9 million.

The provision for loan losses was $307 thousand in the first six months of 2004 compared with $323 for the same period in 2003 showing a decrease of $16 thousand. The Allowance for Loan Losses of $3.8 million on June 30, 2004 (approximately 1.70% of loans) is considered by management to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Allowance for Loan Losses as of June 30, 2003 was 1.82% of loans. An evaluation of historical loss rates for bankruptcy and agriculture loans resulted in a reduction of the applied allocation rate. The level of this allowance is dependent upon a number of factors, including the total amount of past due loans, general economic conditions, and management's assessment of potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant change. Ultimately, losses may vary from current estimates and future additions to the allowance may be necessary. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will not exceed the Allowance for Loan Losses or that additional increases will not be required. Management evaluates the adequacy of the Allowance for Loan Losses quarterly and makes provisions for loan losses based on this evaluation.

Other income for the six months ending June 30, 2004 showed a significant increase, primarily due to a legal settlement receipt of $350,000 in a fire loss of a branch in 2002.

Other expense increased by $456 thousand or 8.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, when compared with the same period in 2003. Salaries and employee benefits of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 represent the largest component of other expenses and steadily increases with the development of the market area and the training of future bank management, in both areas of commercial banking and trust.

Income tax expense of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is indicative of the applicable tax liability for the increase in the income for 2004 along with the adjustments for tax-exempt income and tax deferred income.

There have been no material changes in market risk exposures that affect the quantitative and qualitative disclosures presented as of December 31, 2003 in the Company's Form 10-K and Annual Report.
    


ITEM NO. 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, an evaluation under the direction and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer was performed to determine the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures.

There have been no significant changes in the Corporation's internal controls or in other factors subsequent to the date of the evaluation that could significantly affect these controls.
