RENASANT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2007

(in thousands, except share data)

Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business: Renasant Corporation (referred to herein as the “Company”), a Mississippi corporation, owns and operates Renasant Bank, a Mississippi-chartered bank with operations in Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama, and Renasant Insurance, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Renasant Bank with operations in Mississippi. The Company has full service offices located throughout north and north central Mississippi, west and middle Tennessee and north and north central Alabama.

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information regarding the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

On July 24, 2006, the Company announced a three-for-two stock split in the form of a stock dividend payable on August 28, 2006 to shareholders of record as of August 11, 2006. As a result of the stock split, the Company issued 5,744,010 shares of its common stock. Share and per share amounts included herein have been restated to reflect the three-for-two stock split.

New accounting pronouncements:

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“Statement 157”), which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about the extent to which a company measures assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. This statement applies whenever other standards require or permit assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value. This statement does not mandate the use of fair value in any circumstance. Statement 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of reviewing the potential impact of this statement.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“Statement 159”). Statement 159 allows entities to voluntarily choose, at specified election dates, to measure financial assets and financial liabilities (as well as certain nonfinancial instruments that are similar to financial instruments) at fair value (the “fair value option”). The election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, Statement 159 specifies that all subsequent changes in fair value for that instrument be reported in earnings. Statement 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of reviewing the potential impact of this statement.

Note 2 Shareholders' Equity

In September 2002, the Company’s board of directors adopted a share buy-back plan which, as amended through June 30, 2007, allows the Company to purchase up to 2,095,031 shares of its outstanding common stock, subject to a monthly purchase limit of $2,000 of the Company’s common stock. This plan will remain in effect until all authorized shares are repurchased or until otherwise instructed by the board of directors. As of June 30, 2007, 264,756 shares remained authorized under this plan. The reacquired common shares are held as treasury shares and

may be reissued for various corporate purposes. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company reissued 60,499 shares from treasury in connection with the vesting and exercise of stock-based compensation. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the first six months of 2007.

The Company declared a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2007 of $0.16 per share as compared to $0.16 per share for the first quarter of 2007 and $0.15 per share for the second quarter of 2006. Total cash dividends paid to shareholders by the Company were $5,440 and $4,766 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In January 2007, the Company granted 176,250 stock options which become vested and exercisable in equal installments of 33 1/3% upon completion of one, two and three years of service measured from the grant date. In addition, the Company awarded 5,500 shares of time-based restricted stock and 21,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock in January, 2007. The time-based restricted stock is earned 100% upon completion of three years of service measured from the grant date. The performance-based restricted stock is earned, in part, if the Company meets or exceeds financial performance results defined by the board of directors.

On May 11, 2007, the Company completed the sale of 2,400,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $22.50 per share in a firm commitment underwritten offering. On June 1, 2007, the Company completed the sale of 360,000 shares of its common stock in connection with the exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters associated with the aforementioned offering. Net proceeds from the offering, including proceeds received in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option, totaled $58,529.

Note 3 Loans

The Company adopted and applied the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer,” on certain loans acquired in connection with the acquisition of Heritage Financial Holding Corporation (“Heritage”). There was evidence of deterioration of the credit quality of these loans since origination, and it was probable, at the acquisition date, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The amount of such loans included in the balance sheet heading “Loans, net of unearned income” at June 30, 2007 is as follows:

 

Commercial

   $ 5,339

Consumer

     59

Mortgage

     309

The Company did not increase the allowance for loan losses for these loans during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Note 4 Goodwill

During the first six months of 2007, the Company adjusted goodwill to reflect the tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options assumed in connection with the Heritage acquisition. As a result, the goodwill associated with the Heritage acquisition was reduced $225.

Note 5 Interest Rate Swap

In May 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $100,000 whereby it receives a fixed rate of interest and pays a variable rate based on the Prime rate. The effective date of the swap was May 11, 2006 and the maturity date of the swap is May 11, 2009. The interest rate swap is a designated cash flow hedge designed to convert the variable interest rate on $100,000 of loans to a fixed rate. This hedging relationship is assessed under the hypothetical derivative method, and the swap is considered to be effective. At June 30, 2007, the swap had a fair value of $(202) which has been recorded in “Other Liabilities”. The Company accounts for the swap in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

Note 6 Comprehensive Income

Note 8 Income Taxes

FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties” (“FIN 48”), was issued in June 2006 and defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties, and includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, on January 1, 2007, and determined there was no need to make an adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of FIN 48. As of January 1, 2007, the Company has $171,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters. If ultimately recognized, the Company does not anticipate any material increase in the effective tax rate during 2007 relative to any tax positions taken prior to January 1, 2007. As of January 1, 2007, the Company has accrued $26,000 for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Note 9 Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the pro forma dilution assuming outstanding stock options and warrants were exercised into common shares, calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method. Basic and diluted net income per common share calculations are as follows:

Note 10 Segment Reporting

FASB Statement No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires public companies to report certain financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments (as defined by management) and certain enterprise-wide financial information about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.

The Company’s internal reporting process is organized into four segments that account for the Company’s principal activities: the delivery of financial services through its community banks in Mississippi (Mississippi Region), Tennessee (Tennessee Region) and Alabama (Alabama Region), and the delivery of insurance services through its insurance agency (Renasant Insurance). In order to give the Company’s regional management a more precise indication of the income and expenses they can control, the results of operations for the regions of the community bank and the insurance company reflect the direct revenues and expenses of each respective segment. The Company believes this management approach will enable its regional management to focus on serving customers through loan originations and deposit gathering. Indirect revenues and expenses, including but not limited to income from the Company’s investment portfolio and costs associated with our data processing and back office functions, are not allocated to its segments. Rather, these revenues and expenses are shown in the “Other” column, which also includes revenues and expenses associated with the operations of the holding company and eliminations which are necessary for purposes of reconciling to the consolidated amounts.

and had total assets of approximately $614,000, deposits of approximately $490,000 and total shareholders’ equity of approximately $36,000. See Note 11, “Subsequent Event,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” for details regarding the terms and conditions of the Company’s merger with Capital.

Financial Condition

Total assets for the Company increased to $2,791,295 on June 30, 2007 from $2,611,356 on December 31, 2006, representing an increase of 6.89%.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $6,040 from $98,201 at December 31, 2006 to $92,161 at June 30, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents represented 3.30% of total assets at June 30, 2007 compared to 3.76% of total assets at December 31, 2006. Our investment portfolio increased to $460,606 at June 30, 2007 from $428,065 at December 31, 2006 as we invested excess funds from the generation of deposits.

Mortgage loans held for sale were $38,048 at June 30, 2007 compared to $38,672 at December 31, 2006. In the first six months of 2007, the Company was able to grow its levels of mortgage originations in an environment in which mortgage activity nationally continues to slow as compared to prior years. Originations of mortgage loans to be sold totaled $307,607 for the first six months of 2007 as compared to $209,612 for the same period in 2006. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company expanded its retail mortgage operations by opening loan production offices in Hoover and Montgomery, Alabama, offering 1-4 family residential mortgages. Additionally, the Company expanded its wholesale mortgage operations by hiring a group of wholesale mortgage lenders in Corinth, Mississippi. Mortgage loans to be sold are locked in at a contractual rate with third party private investors, and the Company is obligated to sell the mortgages to such investors only if the mortgages are closed and funded. Gains and losses are realized at the time consideration is received from the sale of the loans and all other criteria for sales treatment have been met. These loans are typically sold within thirty days after the loan is funded. Although some interest income is derived from mortgage loans held for sale, the main source of income is gains from the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market. The Company does not actively market or originate subprime mortgage loans.

The loan balance, net of unearned income, at June 30, 2007 was $1,977,941, representing an increase of $151,179 from $1,826,762 at December 31, 2006.

The growth in loans during the first six months of 2007 is attributable to loan production across all three of our geographic regions. Loans in the Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama regions grew $47,725, $43,898 and $59,556, respectively, during the first six months of 2007 compared to the respective balances at December 31, 2006. We expect future loan growth to be primarily from the Tennessee and Alabama regions and from certain key markets within the Mississippi region. The table below sets forth loans outstanding, according to loan type, net of unearned income.

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a large number of borrowers engaged in similar activities who would be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At June 30, 2007, we had no significant concentrations of loans other than those presented in the categories in the table above.

Intangible assets decreased $1,010 to $97,286 at June 30, 2007 from $98,296 at December 31, 2006. The decrease reflects the amortization of finite-lived intangible assets recorded in connection with the Heritage and Renasant

Index to Financial Statements

Bancshares, Inc. acquisitions and an adjustment to goodwill from tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options assumed in connection with the Heritage acquisition. The core deposits intangible and noncompete agreements are being amortized over their estimated useful lives which range from five to ten years.

Total deposits increased $114,389 to $2,223,354 at June 30, 2007 from $2,108,965 on December 31, 2006. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $3,099 to $274,336 at June 30, 2007 compared to $271,237 at December 31, 2006. Interest-bearing deposits grew $111,290 to $1,949,018 at June 30, 2007 from $1,837,728 at December 31, 2006 due to growth in public fund transactional accounts and time deposits. Through June 30, 2007, interest-bearing public fund transactional accounts increased $70,425 from the balance at December 31, 2006. However, during the second quarter of 2007, the balance of these public fund transactional accounts decreased $32,799 from the balance at March 31, 2007. Management expects the balances of these public fund transaction accounts to continue to decrease throughout the remainder of the year as government agencies utilize the funds held in these accounts.

Total borrowings consists of federal funds purchased, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), subordinated debentures and other borrowings. Total borrowings were $218,045 at June 30, 2007 compared to $216,423 at December 31, 2006. FHLB advances decreased $23,631 to $120,581 at June 30, 2007 compared to $144,212 at December 31, 2006.

Shareholders’ equity increased 25.30% to $316,634 at June 30, 2007 compared to $252,704 at December 31, 2006. Factors contributing to the change in shareholders’ equity include current year earnings offset by dividends and changes in other comprehensive income. The aforementioned equity offering completed during the second quarter of 2007 increased shareholders’ equity by $58,500.

Results of Operations – Second Quarter of 2007 as Compared to the Second Quarter of 2006

Summary

Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 was $7,087, an increase of $44, or 0.62%, from net income of $7,043 for the same period in 2006. Basic earnings per share were $0.42 and diluted earnings per share were $0.41 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, as compared to basic earnings per share of $0.45 and diluted earnings per share of $0.44 for the comparable period a year ago.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, which are two of the largest components contributing to our net income. The primary concerns in managing net interest income are the mix and the repricing of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. Net interest income grew 2.76% to $21,519 for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $20,942 for the same period in 2006 due in part to a significant increase in public fund deposits that funded short term investments. On a tax equivalent basis, net interest margin for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 was 3.66% compared to 3.96% for the same period in 2006. Net interest income for the second quarter of 2007 includes $61 in interest income related to certain Heritage loans accounted for under American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer,” (“SOP 03-3”) as compared to $120 in interest income from similar loans for the second quarter of 2006. The additional interest income from these loans was due to increased cash flows that exceeded initial estimates. This additional interest income increased net interest margin by 1 and 2 basis points for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Interest income grew 15.81% to $43,541 for the second quarter of 2007 from $37,597 for the same period in 2006. The growth in interest income was driven by changes in volume even though the tax equivalent yield on earning assets increased 25 basis points to 7.25%. The average balance of interest-earning assets for the three months ending June 30, 2007 increased $251,276 as compared to the same period in 2006 due primarily to the aforementioned loan growth.

Interest expense increased $5,367 to $22,022 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $16,655 for the same period in 2006. This increase resulted from the growth in interest-bearing deposits, as well as the increase

 

15


Index to Financial Statements

in the cost of all interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense associated with public fund transactional accounts was $3,686 for the second quarter of 2007. As the balances of these accounts continue to decrease through the remainder of the year, interest expense associated with such accounts is expected to correspondingly decline. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits at June 30, 2007 increased $217,865 as compared to the same period in 2006. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 76 basis points to 3.92% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to 3.16% for the same period in 2006. Overall, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 69 basis points to 4.10% over this same period.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $12,867 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to $11,033 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $1,834, or 16.62%. The growth in noninterest income is attributable to growth in service charges on deposits, loan fees and gains recognized on the sale of mortgage loans in the secondary market.

Service charges on deposits were $4,919 for the second quarter of 2007, an increase of 8.66% over $4,527 for the same period in 2006. Service charges represent the largest component of noninterest income. Overdraft fees were $4,336 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $425, or 10.88%, compared to the same period in 2006.

Fees and commissions include fees charged for both deposit services (other than service charges on deposits) and loan services. Fees and commissions were $4,122 and $3,659 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Fees charged for loan services increased $267 to $2,447 for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $2,180 for the same period in 2006.

The market value of assets under management as of June 30, 2007 was $515,381, an increase of approximately $54,998 from the prior year.

Gains from sales of mortgage loans increased to $1,225 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $674 for the same period in 2006. The increase in gains on the sale of mortgage loans is attributable to higher volumes of overall originations. Originations of mortgage loans to be sold totaled $166,030 for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to $115,402 for same period in 2006. In addition, gains on the sale of mortgage loans were positively impacted by higher volumes of retail originations during the second quarter of 2007 as compared to 2006. Typically, retail originations carry a higher spread when sold than wholesale originations.

Other noninterest income increased $255 to $543 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Other noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 includes a $252 nontaxable death benefit from life insurance.

Salaries and employee benefits for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 were $13,083, which is $782 greater than the same period last year. The increase in salaries and employee benefits is due to normal annual salary increases which were effective March 2007, strategic hires and increases in incentive and performance benefits.

Data processing costs for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 were $1,265, an increase of $212 compared to the same period last year. Net occupancy expense and equipment expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 increased $148 to $2,836 over the comparable period for the prior year.

Amortization of intangible assets decreased to $391 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $414 for the same period in 2006. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range between five and ten years.

Noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets was 3.43% for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 and 3.56% for the comparable period in 2006. The net overhead ratio was 1.54% and 1.78% for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net overhead ratio is defined as noninterest expense less noninterest income, expressed as a percent of average assets. Our efficiency ratio decreased to 66.30% for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 compared to 67.22% for the same period of 2006. The efficiency ratio measures the cost of generating one dollar of revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate that dollar of revenue. We calculate this ratio by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis and noninterest income.

Income tax expense was $3,132 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 (with an effective tax rate of 30.65%), compared to $3,233 (with an effective tax rate of 31.46%) for the same period in 2006. The three month period ended June 30, 2007 included a $252 nontaxable death benefit from life insurance which resulted in a lower effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the second quarter of 2006. We continually seek investing opportunities in assets, primarily through state and local investment securities, whose earnings are given favorable tax treatment.

Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is an amount which, in the judgment of management, is necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that is adequate to meet the inherent risks of losses on our current portfolio of loans. The appropriate level of the allowance is based on a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio which includes consideration of such factors as the risk rating of individual credits, the size and diversity of the portfolio, economic conditions, prior loss experience, and the results of periodic credit reviews by internal loan review and regulators.

Nonperforming loans (accruing loans past due 90 days or more and nonaccrual loans) as a percentage of total loans were 0.38% at June 30, 2007 compared to 0.62% at December 31, 2006. Nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2007, were $5,905, down $1,916 as compared to the balance at December 31, 2006. Loans past due 90 days or more still accruing interest decreased $1,819 to $1,648 at June 30, 2007 compared to $3,467 at December 31, 2006. Management has evaluated these loans and other loans classified as non-performing and concluded that all non-performing loans have been adequately reserved for in the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2007.

The provision for loan losses was $800 and $(360) for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the second quarter of 2007, net charge-offs were $277, or 0.06% annualized as a percentage of average loans, compared to net charge-offs for the same period in 2006 of $(877), or (0.20)% annualized. During the second quarter of 2006, we recovered $1,256 on loans previously charged-off. Of the total recoveries for the second quarter of 2006, two recoveries, associated with loans charged-off by Heritage prior to its acquisition by us, totaling $875 comprise the majority of the recoveries. The provision for loan losses was $1,550 and $708 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net charge-offs were $479, or 0.05% annualized as a percentage of average loans, compared to net charge-offs for the same period in 2006 of $81, or 0.01% annualized.

In determining the amount of provision to charge to current period operations, management considers the risk rating of individual credits, the size and diversity of the loan portfolio, current trends in net charge-offs, trends in non-performing loans, trends in past due loans and current economic conditions in the markets in which we operate.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was 1.04% at June 30, 2007 as compared to 1.07% at December 31, 2006, and 1.10% at June 30, 2006. The reduction of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was primarily due to growth in the loan portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity management is the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wishing to withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Our strategy in choosing funds is focused on attempting to mitigate interest rate risk, and thus we utilize funding sources that are commensurate with the interest rate risk associated with the assets. We constantly monitor our funds position and evaluate the effect various funding sources have on our financial position.

Deposits are our primary source of funds used to meet cash flow needs. While we do not control the types of deposit instruments our clients choose, we do influence those choices with the rates we offer and with the deposit products we offer. Understanding the competitive pressures on deposits is key to maintaining the ability to acquire and retain these funds in a variety of markets. When evaluating the movement of these funds, even during large interest rate changes, it is essential that we continue to attract deposits that can be used to meet cash flow needs. Management continues to monitor the liquidity and volatility liabilities ratios to ensure compliance with Asset-Liability Committee targets. Total deposits increased $114,389 to $2,223,354 at June 30, 2007 from $2,108,965 on December 31, 2006.

Our securities portfolio is another alternative for meeting liquidity needs. These assets have readily available markets that offer conversions to cash as needed. Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include federal funds purchased and advances from the FHLB. Interest is charged at the market federal funds rate on federal funds purchased and FHLB advances. At June 30, 2007, we had $29,000 outstanding in federal funds purchased. Funds obtained from the FHLB are used primarily to match-fund real estate loans and other longer-term fixed rate loans in order to minimize interest rate risk; FHLB advances may also be used to meet day to day liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2007, our outstanding balance with the FHLB was $120,581 compared to $144,212 at December 31, 2006. The Company used a portion of the excess funds generated from deposit growth to pay down its FHLB borrowings. The total amount of remaining credit available to us from the FHLB at June 30, 2007 was $588,030. We also maintain lines of credits with other commercial banks totaling $35,000. These are unsecured lines of credit maturing at various times within the next twelve months. At June 30, 2007, there were no amounts outstanding under these lines of credit.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our total cost of funds, including noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts, was 3.63%, up from 2.92% for the same period in 2006. Noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts made up approximately 10.82% of our average total deposits and borrowed funds at June 30, 2007 down from 11.69% at June 30, 2006. Interest-bearing transaction accounts, money market accounts and savings accounts made up approximately 33.76% of our average total deposits and borrowed funds and had an average cost of 2.65%, compared to 34.29% of the average total deposits and borrowed funds with an average cost of 2.00% for the same period in 2006. Another significant source of funds was time deposits, making up 46.75% of the average total deposits and borrowed funds with an average cost of 4.77% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 43.36% of the average total deposits and borrowed funds with an average cost of 3.90% for the same period in 2006. FHLB advances made up approximately 5.49% of our average total deposits and borrowed funds with an average cost of 4.98%, compared to 7.10% of the average total deposits and borrowed funds with an average cost of 4.32% for the same period in 2006.

Cash and cash equivalents were $92,161 at June 30, 2007 compared to $74,655 at June 30, 2006. Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $195,341 compared to $130,940 for the same period of 2006. The primary contribution to this increase was due to investment securities purchases of $122,098 and a net increase in loans of $152,079. Proceeds from the sale and maturity of our investment security portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $82,207.

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $169,636 compared to $98,560 for the same period of 2006. Cash flows from the generation of deposits were $114,389 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $115,015 for the same period in 2006. Cash provided from the generation of deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was used primarily to fund the $152,079 in loan growth. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 also includes the net proceeds of $58,529 from the aforementioned equity offering.

Under the terms of our merger agreement with Capital, described in Note 11, “Subsequent Event,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1, “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,” the Company paid approximately $56,000 to Capital shareholders as part of the merger consideration. The Company used the net proceeds from its offering of common stock to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration payable in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Capital. Other Company expenditures arising in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Capital are expected to be funded using the remaining net proceeds of the offering and, if necessary, the Company’s traditional sources of liquidity.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the 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 our financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Index to Financial Statements

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require us to maintain minimum balances and ratios. All banks are required to have core capital (Tier I) of at least 4% of risk-weighted assets, Tier I leverage of 4% of average assets, and total capital of 8% of risk-weighted assets (as such ratios are defined in Federal regulations). As of June 30, 2007, we met all capital adequacy requirements to which we are subject. As of June 30, 2007, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized us as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, we must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios of 10%, 6%, and 5%, respectively. In the opinion of management, there are no conditions or events since the last notification that have changed our rating as well capitalized.

The following table includes our capital ratios and the capital ratios of our banking subsidiary as of June 30, 2007:

Management recognizes the importance of maintaining a strong capital base. As the above ratios indicate, we exceed the requirements for a well capitalized bank. The above ratios for the Company include the capital raised in the equity offering completed during the second quarter of 2007, resulting in ratios higher than historically maintained by the Company. After the completion of the merger with Capital and the use of the capital raised in such equity offering to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration, the Company’s capital ratios are expected to be in line with its historical ratios.

The Company’s liquidity and capital resources, as well as its ability to pay dividends to our shareholders, are substantially dependent on the ability of Renasant Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. The approval of the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance is required prior to Renasant Bank paying dividends, which are limited to earned surplus in excess of three times capital stock. At June 30, 2007, the unrestricted surplus for Renasant Bank was approximately $306,647. Federal Reserve regulations also limit the amount Renasant Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At June 30, 2007, the maximum amount available for transfer from Renasant Bank to the Company in the form of loans was $24,542. There were no loans outstanding from Renasant Bank to the Company at June 30, 2007. These restrictions did not have any impact on the Company’s ability to meet its cash obligations in the first six months of 2007, nor does management expect such restrictions to materially impact the Company’s ability to meet its currently-anticipated cash obligations.

Book value per share was $17.25 and $16.27 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the Company's customers. Standby letters of credit commit the Company to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. Both arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company's normal credit policies. Collateral (e.g., securities, receivables, inventory, and equipment) is obtained based on management's credit assessment of the customer.

The Company's unfunded loan commitments (unfunded loans and unused lines of credit) and standby letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2007 were approximately $627,635 and $22,655, respectively, compared to $577,439 and $23,245, respectively, at December 31, 2006.

In May 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $100,000 whereby it receives a fixed rate of interest and pays a variable rate based on the Prime rate. The effective date of the swap was May 11, 2006 and the maturity date of the swap is May 11, 2009. The interest rate swap is a designated cash flow hedge designed to convert the variable interest rate on $100,000 of loans to a fixed rate. This hedging relationship is assessed under the hypothetical derivative method, and the swap is considered to be effective.

Market risk resulting from interest rate changes on particular off-balance sheet financial instruments may be offset by other on- or off-balance sheet transactions. Interest rate sensitivity is monitored by the Company for determining the net effect of potential changes in interest rates on the market value of both on- or off-balance sheet financial instruments.

Contractual Obligations

There have not been any material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to any of the contractual obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As discussed above, the Company entered into an interest rate swap in which it converted $100,000 of variable rate loans to a fixed rate. The strategy of the interest rate swap was to mitigate our interest rate risk in the event interest rates declined. There have been no other material changes in our market risk since December 31, 2006. For additional information regarding our market risk, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective to allow for timely decisions regarding the disclosure of material information required to be included in our periodic reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
