In the Matter of
WALTHALL CITIZENS BANK
TYLERTOWN, MISSISSIPPI
(Insured State Nonmember Bank)
ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST
FDIC-97-061B

   Walthall Citizens Bank, Tylertown, Mississippi, ("Bank"), having been advised of its right to a Notice of Charges and of Hearing detailing the unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law and/or regulations alleged to have been committed by the Bank and of its right to a hearing on the alleged charges under section 8(b)(1) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(b)(1), and having waived those rights, entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") with counsel for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), dated November 20, 1997, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying the alleged charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law and/or regulations, the Bank consented to the issuance of an ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST ("ORDER") by the FDIC.
   The FDIC considered the matter and determined that it had reason to believe that the Bank had engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices and had committed violations of law and/or regulations. The FDIC, therefore, accepted the CONSENT AGREEMENT and issued the following:

ORDER TO CEASE AND DESIST

       (d) operating with inadequate internal routine and controls policies;

   (f) For the purposes of this ORDER, and "outside director" shall be an individual:

   (c) If all or part of the increase in Tier I capital is required by Paragraph 2(a) of this ORDER is accomplished by the sale of new securities, the board of directors of the bank shall adopt and implement a plan for the sale of such additional securities, including the voting of any shares owned or proxies held or controlled by them in favor of the plan. Should the implementation of the plan involve a public distribution of the Bank's securities (including a distribution limited only to the bank's existing shareholders), the Bank shall prepare offering materials fully describing the securities being offered, including an accurate description of the financial condition of the Bank and the circumstances giving rise to the offering, and any other material disclosures necessary to comply with the Federal securities laws. Prior to the implementation of the plan and, in any event, not less than 20 days prior to the dissemination of such materials, the plan and any materials used in the sale of securities shall be submitted to the FDIC, Registration and Disclosure Unit, 550 17th Street, N.W., Room F-250, Washington, D.C. 20429 for review. Any changes requested to be made in the plan or materials by the FDIC shall be made prior to their dissemination. If the Regional Director allows any part of the increase in Tier I capital to be provided by the sale of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, then all terms and conditions of the issue, including but not limited to those terms and conditions relative to the interest rate and any convertibility factor, shall be presented to the Regional Director for prior approval.
   (d) In complying with the provisions of Paragraph 2 of this ORDER, the Bank shall provide to any subscriber and/or purchaser of the Bank's securities written notice of any planned or existing development or other changes which are materially different from the information reflected in any offering materials used in connection with the sale of Bank securities.

       (iii) The extent to which loan renewals and extensions are used to maintain loans on a current basis and the degree of risk associated with such loans;

Thereafter, the Bank, its directors, officers, and employees shall follow the written profit plan and/or any subsequent modification.

   [.5] 5. (a) Within 30 days from the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall reduce from its books, by charge-off or collection, all assets classified "Loss" as of March 31, 1997, that have not been previously collected or charged-off.

As used in Paragraphs 5(a), 5(b), 5(c)(1), (2), (3), and (4), and 5(d) the word "reduce" means (i) to collect, (ii) to charge-off, or (iii) to sufficiently improve the quality of assets adversely classified to warrant removing any adverse classification, as determined by the FDIC.
   6. (a) Beginning with the effective date of this ORDER, the Bank shall not extend, directly or indirectly, any additional credit to, or for the benefit of, any borrower who has a loan or other extension of credit with the Bank that has been charged-off, in whole or in part, "Loss" and is uncollected.
