SECURITY CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Security Capital Corporation (Corporation), and its subsidiaries, follow accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, including, where applicable, general practices within the banking industry.

1. Consolidation
   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Security Capital Corporation, a one-bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First Security Bank (Bank), Batesville Security Building Corporation (Building Corporation), and Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, First Security Insurance, Inc. (Insurance). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
    
2. Nature of Operations
   The Corporation is a financial holding company. Its primary asset is its investment in its subsidiary bank. The Bank operates under a state bank charter and provides full banking services, including trust services. The Bank is subject to regulation by the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The area served by the Bank is primarily the northern half of Mississippi, and services are provided in branch locations at Batesville, Marks, Sardis, Como, Crenshaw, Olive Branch, Hernando, Robinsonville, Tunica, Pope, and Southaven. The operations of the Building Corporation and Insurance are not material in relation to the Corporation as a whole.
    
3. Estimates
   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
   The Bank’s loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets, and business assets. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent on local economic conditions in the agricultural and real estate development industries.
   
   While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional losses 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 estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.
    
4. Securities
   Investments in securities are accounted for as follows:

Securities Available-for-Sale
Securities classified as available-for-sale are those securities that are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available-for-sale would be based on various factors, including movements in interest rates, liquidity needs, security risk assessments, changes in the mix of assets and liabilities and other similar factors. These securities are carried at their estimated fair value, and the net unrealized gain or loss is reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, until realized. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method.

Gains and losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale are determined using the adjusted cost of the specific security sold.


Securities Held-to-Maturity
Securities classified as held-to-maturity are those securities for which there is a positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. These securities are carried at cost adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount, computed by the interest method.


Trading Account Securities
Trading account securities are those securities which are held for the purpose of selling them at a profit. There were no trading account securities on hand at December 31, 2007 and 2006.
 

Other Securities
Other securities are carried at cost and consist of investments in stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), First National Banker’s Bankshares, and Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. The transferability of these stock holdings is restricted.

5. Loans
   Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding adjusted for the allowance for loan losses, and net deferred origination fees. Interest income on loans is recognized based on the principal balance outstanding and the stated rate of the loan.
   
   A loan is considered to be impaired when it appears probable that the entire amount contractually due will not be collected. Factors considered in determining impairment include payment status, collateral values, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments of principal and interest when due. Generally, impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis using the fair value of the supporting collateral.
   
   Loans are generally placed on a nonaccrual status when principal or interest is past due ninety days, or when specifically determined to be impaired. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accrued but not received is generally reversed against interest income. If collectability is in doubt, cash receipts on nonaccrual loans are used to reduce principal rather than recorded as interest income. Past due status is based on contractual terms.
   
   Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the related loan.
    
6. Allowance for Loan Losses
   The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and is based on the size and current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, an assessment of individual problem loans, actual and anticipated loss experience, current economic events, including unemployment levels, and other pertinent factors, including regulatory guidance and general economic conditions. Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective as it requires significant estimates, including the valuation of collateral supporting impaired loans, estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, and consideration of current economic trends, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. Loan losses are charged off against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged off are credited to the allowance. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the factors previously mentioned, as well as other pertinent factors.
   
   The allowance for loan losses consists of an allocated component and an unallocated component. The components of the allowance for loan losses represent an estimation done pursuant to either Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, or FASB Statement No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. The allocated component of the allowance for loan losses reflects expected losses resulting from an analysis developed through specific credit allocations for individual or pools of loans and historical loss experience for each loan category. The specific allocations are based on a regular review of all loans where the internal credit rating is at or below a predetermined classification. The historical loan loss element is determined statistically using loss experience and the related internal gradings of loans charged off. The analysis is performed quarterly, and loss factors are updated regularly based on actual experience. The allocated component of the allowance for loan losses also includes consideration of the amounts necessary for any concentrations and changes in portfolio mix and volume.
   
   The unallocated portion of the allowance reflects management’s estimate of probable inherent but undetected losses within the portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, changes in collateral values, unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition, and other risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves. In addition, the unallocated allowance includes a component that explicitly accounts for the inherent imprecision in the loan loss analysis.
    
7. Premises and Equipment
   Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are determined using the straight-line method at rates calculated to depreciate or amortize the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives.
   
   Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment are charged to operations, and major improvements are capitalized. Upon retirement, sale, or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts, and any gains or losses are included in operations.
    
8. Bank Owned Life Insurance
   The Corporation invests in bank owned life insurance (BOLI). BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Corporation on a chosen number of employees. The Corporation is the owner of the policies and, accordingly, the cash surrender value of the policies is an asset, and increases in cash surrender values are reported as income. The co-beneficiaries of the policies are the Bank and the insured employee.
   
    
9. Other Real Estate
   Other real estate consists of properties acquired through foreclosure and is recorded at the lower of cost or current appraised value less estimated expense to sell. The Bank writes down other real estate annually in accordance with state banking regulations. Any write-down from the cost to estimated fair market value required at the time of foreclosure is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent gains or losses, including write-downs, on other real estate are reported in other operating income or expenses. At December 31, 2007, and 2006, other real estate of $716,000 and $365,000, respectively, is included in other assets.
    
10. Income Taxes
    Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the bases of assets and liabilities as measured by income tax laws and their bases as reported in the financial statements. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.
    
    The Corporation and its subsidiaries file consolidated income tax returns. The subsidiaries provide for income taxes on a separate return basis and remit to the Corporation amounts determined to be payable.
    
     
11. Net Income per Share
    Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each year. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if any dilutive potential common shares had been issued. For the three years ended December 31, 2007, there were no potential dilutive common shares. All weighted average, actual shares or per share information in the financial statements have been adjusted retroactively for the effect of stock dividends.
    
    Presented below is a summary of the components used to calculate basic net income per share for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 (as restated for stock dividends):
     

    	(in thousands, except per share)
    	2007	2006	2005

    Basic Net Income per Share	2,822	2,880	2,879
    Net Income	$7,435	$7,240	$6,607
    Basic Net Income per Share	2.58	2.51	2.29

     

12. Statement of Cash Flows
    For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and noninterest-bearing and readily available interest-bearing deposits due from other banks.
     
13. Advertising
    Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for 2007 and 2006 was approximately $251,000 and $267,000, respectively.
    
     
14. Goodwill
    Prior to 2002, goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired entities, was being amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit of 15 years. Effective January 1, 2002, the Corporation and its subsidiaries adopted the provisions of FASB No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under this statement, goodwill is no longer amortized over its estimated useful life, but is subject to an assessment for impairment using a fair value based test at least annually. If impaired, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value.
    
     
15. Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
    In the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, credit card agreements, commercial and similar letters of credit, and commitments to purchase securities. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are exercised.
     
16. Trust Assets
    Except for amounts included in deposits, assets of the Trust Department are not included in the accompanying balance sheets.
     
17. Business Segments
    FASB Statement No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires public companies to report (i) certain financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments (as defined) and (ii) certain enterprise-wide financial information about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Management believes the Corporation's principal activity is community banking and that any other activities are not considered significant segments.
     
18. Accounting Pronouncements
    In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies whenever assets or liabilities are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under currently existing standards. No additional fair value measurements are required under this Statement. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those years but earlier adoption is permitted. The Corporation adopted SFAS 157 in 2007 and complied with the requirements.
    
    In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Corporation adopted SFAS 159 in 2007.
    
    Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 06-4, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements. EITF 06-4 requires the recognition of a liability and related compensation expense for endorsement split-dollar life insurance policies that provide a benefit to an employee that extends to post-retirement periods. Under EITF 06-4, life insurance policies purchased for the purpose of providing such benefits do not effectively settle an entity’s obligation to the employee. Accordingly, an entity must recognize a liability and related compensation expense during the employee’s active service period based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement. If the entity has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the guidance in SFAS 106, Employer’s Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. The Corporation expects to adopt EITF 06-4 effective as of January 1, 2008 as a change in accounting principle through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The amount of the adjustment is not expected to be significant.
