                                      84,783

          There  are  84,783  common  shares  owned  by  the  Peoples  Financial
          Corporation  Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan  (the  "Plan").   United
          National  Bank & Trust  Company is the Trustee of the Plan.  Under the
          terms of the Plan and the Trust  Agreement,  the Trustee  votes all of
          the shares  allocated to the accounts of  participants  as directed by
          the  participants  to whose accounts such shares have been  allocated.
          With respect to unallocated shares or allocated shares with respect to
          which no instructions  have been received,  the Plan provides that the
          Trustee  shall vote such  shares in the  Trustee's  discretion.  As of
          December  31,  1998,   38,855  shares  had  been   allocated  to  Plan
          participants.

<PAGE>

          Although the Trustee has general authority to sell assets, because the
          Plan provides that the Trustee is to invest primarily in shares of the
          issuer,  the  authority  to dispose  of such  shares is limited by the
          Plan.

          United  National  Bank & Trust  Company  is also the  Trustee  for the
          Peoples Financial Corporation Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust
          (the "RRP"),  which held 50,101 shares at December 31, 1998.  Pursuant
          to the terms of the RRP,  the Trustee  has voting but not  dispositive
          power over the shares held in the RRP.
