PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Trustmark Corporation (the Corporation) is a one-bank holding company which
was incorporated under the Mississippi Business Corporation Act on August 5,
1968 and commenced doing business in November 1968. The Corporation's primary
business activities are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trustmark
National Bank (the Bank) and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Trustmark
Financial Services, Inc. (TFSI). The Bank accounts for substantially all of the
assets and revenues of the Corporation. Chartered by the State of Mississippi in
1889, it is headquartered in Jackson and is the largest bank in the state. The
Corporation also owns all of the stock of F. S. Corporation and First Building
Corporation, both nonbank Mississippi corporations. F. S. Corporation and First
Building Corporation are primarily dormant and are not considered significant
subsidiaries.
The Bank offers a variety of deposit, investment and credit products to its
customers through a branch network with facilities in 166 locations. The Bank is
well established as a provider of depository, credit and cash management
services to middle-market and larger businesses. These services range from
payroll checking, business checking accounts, corporate savings, secured and
unsecured lines of credit and loans to direct deposit payroll, sweep accounts
and letters of credit. The Bank also offers MasterCard, VISA, VISA Gold and,
beginning in June of 1996, VISA Business credit card services to consumers and
merchants throughout Mississippi. In addition, the Trustmark Express Check debit
card, which allows customers to access their checking or savings account through
any merchant that accepts MasterCard and at any Trustmark Express, Gulfnet or
Cirrus automated teller machine (ATM), continues to be very successful. During
1996, the Bank introduced TrustTouch pc, an on-line banking service allowing
customers to do their banking around the clock from their homes or offices.
Customers may also obtain information about the Bank's services via the Internet
by accessing its web site. The Trust Services business unit provides services in
three areas: custody, investment management and ancillary services such as a
third party fiscal agent. The Investment Services unit provides both
institutional and retail customers with quality investment opportunities through
its Dealer Bank Department and TFSI. Beginning in 1997, full service brokerage
services will be offered at discount prices.
As of February 28, 1997, the Corporation and the Bank employed 2,267
full-time equivalent employees.

COMPETITION

The Bank competes with national and state banks in its service areas for
all types of depository, credit, investment and trust services. In addition, it
competes in its respective service areas with other financial institutions
including savings and loan associations, personal loan companies, consumer
finance companies, mortgage companies, insurance companies, brokerage firms,
investment companies, credit unions and financial service operations of major
retailers. All these institutions compete in the areas of interest rates, the
availability and quality of services and products, and the pricing of these
services and products.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

The Corporation is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended. As such, the Corporation is required to file an
annual report and such additional information as the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System may require. The Act requires every bank holding company
to obtain the prior approval of the Board of Governors before it may acquire
substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of any
voting shares of any bank, if, after the acquisition, it would own or control,
directly or indirectly, more than five percent of the voting shares of the bank.
In addition, a bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in or
acquiring direct or indirect control of voting shares of any company engaged in
nonbanking activities. One of the principal exceptions to this prohibition is
for activities found by the Board of Governors, by order or regulation, to be
closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks "as to be a proper
incident thereto." The Board has by regulation determined that a number of
activities are closely related to banking within the meaning of the Act. In
addition, the Corporation is subject to regulation by the State of Mississippi
under its laws of incorporation.
The Bank is subject to various requirements and restrictions by federal and
state banking authorities, including the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC) and the Mississippi Department of Banking. Areas subject to
regulation include loans, reserves, investments, issuance of securities,
establishment of branches, loans to directors, executive officers and their
related interests, relationships with correspondent banks, consumer protection
and other aspects of operations. In addition, national banks are subject to
legal limitations on the amount of earnings they may pay as dividends.
The Bank also is insured by, and therefore subject to, the regulations of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Consequently, the Bank is
subject to FDIC insurance assessments. The Bank qualifies for the lowest
assessment rate of zero per $100 for deposits insured by the Bank Insurance Fund
(BIF) and the Savings Insurance Fund (SAIF). The Bank has deposits insured by
the SAIF as a result of assisted purchases through the Resolution Trust
Corporation during the early 1990's. As a result of the passage of the Deposit
Insurance Funds Act on September 30, 1996, the Bank was charged a one-time
special assessment during the third quarter of 1996 in order to capitalize the
SAIF. Beginning in 1997, the FDIC will assess the Bank only for the purpose of
retiring debt of the Financing Corporation (FICO). This assessment will be
charged at an annual rate of $.01296 per $100 of BIF deposits and $.0648 per
$100 of SAIF deposits.
In December 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
of 1991 (FDICIA) was enacted. FDICIA substantially revised the depository
institution regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act and made revisions to several other federal banking statutes. Among other
things, FDICIA requires banking regulators to take prompt corrective action
whenever financial institutions do not meet minimum capital requirements. In
addition, FDICIA has created restrictions on capital distributions that would
leave a depository institution undercapitalized.
In May of 1993, the FDIC adopted the final rule implementing Section 112 of
FDICIA. This regulation includes requirements, procedures and interpretive
guidelines that mandate new audit and reporting requirements for financial
institutions. As a result of these new requirements, certain formal
attestations, assertions and documentation must be imposed on existing control
structures. This regulation became effective for fiscal years ending after
December 31, 1992.

Due to the nature of mortgage related securities, the actual maturities of
these investments can be substantially shorter than their contractual maturity.
Management believes the actual weighted average maturity of the entire mortgage
related portfolio to be approximately 2.67 years.

</TABLE>

Generally, a loan is classified as nonaccrual and the accrual of interest
on such loan is discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or
interest has become 90 days past due or Management has serious doubts about
further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is
currently performing. A loan may remain on nonaccrual status if it is in the
process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is
placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current
and prior years is reversed against interest income. Interest received on
nonaccrual loans is applied against principal. Loans are restored to accrual
status when the obligation is brought current or has performed in accordance
with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate
collectibility of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in
doubt. Interest which would have been accrued on nonaccrual and restructured
loans if they had been in compliance with their original terms is immaterial. In
addition, interest income on these loans that was included in net income for the
periods presented was immaterial.
At December 31, 1996 Management is not aware of any additional credits,
other than those identified above, where serious doubts as to the repayment of
principal and interest exist. There are no interest-earning assets which would
be required to be disclosed above if those assets were loans. The Corporation
had no loan concentrations greater than ten percent of total loans other than
those loan categories shown in Table 5.

</TABLE>

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
Management to absorb estimated probable loan losses. Management's periodic
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Corporation's past
loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse
situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay (including the timing
of future payments), the estimated value of any underlying collateral,
composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and other
relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires
material estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows
expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant
change.

TABLE 9 - ALLOCATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The following table is a summary by allocation category of the
Corporation's allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1996. These allocations
were determined by internal formulas based upon Management's analyses of the
various types of risk associated with the Corporation's loan portfolio. A
discussion of Management's methodology for performing these analyses follows the
table ($ in thousands):


Allocation for pools of
risk-rated loans $26,532
Additional allocation for
risk-rated loans 1,630
Allocation for selected
industries 2,592
General allocation for
all other loans 8,648
Allocation for available lines
of credit and letters of credit 2,312
Discretionary 21,286
-------
Total $63,000
=======

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which Management and
the Board of Directors believe is adequate to absorb estimated losses inherent
in the loan portfolio, plus estimated losses associated with off-balance sheet
credit instruments such as letters of credit and unfunded lines of credit. The
adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly utilizing the criteria specified
in the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's revised Banking Circular 201
as well as additional guidance provided in the Interagency Policy Statement.
Loss percentages were uniformly applied to pools of risk-rated loans within the
commercial portfolio. These percentages were determined based on migration
analysis, previously established floors for each category and economic factors.
In addition, relationships of $500,000 or more which were risk-rated Other Loans
Especially Mentioned or Substandard and all which were risk-rated Doubtful were
reviewed by the Corporation's Internal Asset Review staff to determine if the
standard percentages appeared to be sufficient to cover potential loss on each
line. In the event that the percentages on any particular lines were determined
to be insufficient, additional allocations were made based upon recommendations
of lending and asset review personnel.
Industry allocations were made based on concentrations of credit within the
portfolio as well as arbitrary designation of certain other industries by
Management.
The general allocation is included in the allowance to cover potential loan
losses within portions of the loan portfolio not addressed in the preceeding
allocations. The types of loans included in the general allocation were
residential mortgage loans, direct and indirect consumer loans, credit card
loans and overdrafts. The actual allocation amount was based upon the more
conservative estimate of loss experience within these categories during 1996,
the historical 5-year moving average for each category, or previously
established floors.
The amount included in the allocation for lines of credit and letters of
credit consists of a percentage of the unused portion of those lines and the
amount outstanding in letters of credit. Arbitrary percentages, which were the
same as those applied to the funded portions of the commercial and retail loan
portfolios, were applied to cover any potential losses in these off-balance
sheet categories.
The remaining $21,286,000 is discretionary and serves as added protection
in the event that any of the above specific components are determined to be
inadequate or for issues that cannot or have not been measured on a quantitative
basis over a prolonged period of time.
Because of the stability shown by the Corporation's level of nonperforming
assets, Management estimates that the anticipated amount of net charge-offs for
1997 will be at approximately the same level as 1996. However, because of the
imprecision inherent in most estimates of expected credit losses, Management
will continue to take a prudent approach in the evaluation of the allowance for
loan losses.
