ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Trustmark Corporation (Trustmark) 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. Trustmark's primary
business activities are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trustmark
National Bank (the Bank) and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trustmark
Financial Services, Inc. (TFSI) and Trustmark Insurance Agency, Inc. The Bank
accounts for substantially all of the assets and revenues of Trustmark.
Chartered by the State of Mississippi in 1889, the Bank is headquartered in
Jackson, Mississippi and is the largest bank in the state. Trustmark 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.
Trustmark provides a broad array of traditional banking products and
services primarily to customers in Mississippi through its network of 140
branches and 147 ATMs. In order to service Retail clients' needs more
effectively, Pinnacle, a proactive client-focused sales process, was implemented
during 1998. As a result of Pinnacle, Trustmark associates have a higher level
of client knowledge and understand the financial alternatives best suited to the
client's needs. In addition, improvements to Trustmark's delivery channels have
expedited communication and information flow to the point of sale thus providing
faster and more convenient transactions for clients. In order to allow customers
to do their banking around the clock from their homes or offices, Trustmark
offers the TrustTouch automated response system. Customers may also obtain
information about Trustmark's services via the Internet by accessing its web
site (www.trustmark.com). Trustmark's Card Services offer MasterCard, VISA, VISA
Gold and VISA Business credit card services to consumers and merchants
throughout Mississippi. Trustmark's ExpressCheck debit card allows clients to
conveniently pay for purchases from merchants, withdraw cash from
automated  teller machines and receive  account balance  information or transfer
funds between their accounts at their convenience. For many years, Trustmark has
been active in automobile finance directly throughout its extensive branch
network as well as through a long-established indirect network of automobile
dealers. Home mortgage lending increased significantly during 1998 and has
strengthened Trustmark's position as a premier home lender. In addition,
Trustmark's home mortgage department services more than $3.4 billion in home
loans throughout the Southeast.
Trustmark provides loans, deposit services and cash management for
Mississippi businesses. Cash management services offers new technology and
services for businesses to monitor cash flow through the utilization of TrustNet
computer banking, automated clearing services which facilitates electronic bill
payment and direct deposit of employee pay and Trustmark's Mutual Fund Sweep
account. Trustmark offers commercial real estate loans targeting the residential
real estate development and construction markets. Trustmark also lends to
moderate and lower income homeowners in several markets through Community
Reinvestment Act programs such as the Downpayment Assistance Program and Farmers
Home Multi-Family Home Program. Trustmark's Correspondent Banking Department
maintains relationships with independent banks across the state, providing
competitively priced cash management services, financing and clearing services.
Trustmark's public services bankers offer cash management products, loans and
investment services tailored for the needs of public entities such as state
agencies, municipal government and school districts.
Trustmark offers a broad line of banking, investment and insurance
products designed to meet the objectives of retail and commercial clients. These
products include the Performance Funds, a family of six mutual funds designed
and managed by Trustmark investment professionals, as well as personal trust and
asset management, employee benefits and corporate trust. With $5.4 billion in
trust assets under administration, Trustmark's Trust Department offers a full
line of asset management and custodial services through its Personal Trust,
Employee Benefit and Corporate Trust groups. TFSI, Trustmark's investment
brokerage subsidiary, expanded its product offering and delivery network in
1998. TFSI currently has 16 locations across the state of Mississippi and offers
a comprehensive range of brokerage services. In 1999, Trustmark will address the
insurance needs of clients by broadening the products and services offered by
its insurance subsidiary, Trustmark Insurance Agency, Inc.
As of March 11, 1999, Trustmark and the Bank employed approximately
2,250 full-time equivalent employees.

COMPETITION

Trustmark 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, consumer finance companies, mortgage
companies, insurance companies, brokerage firms, 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

Trustmark is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended. As such, Trustmark 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, Trustmark 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). 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. FDICIA regulations also include procedures and
interpretive guidelines that mandate certain audit and reporting requirements
for financial institutions. Management is responsible for not only preparing
Trustmark's annual financial statements, but also establishing and maintaining
adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, Management
must comply with certain laws and regulations designated by the FDIC as well as
assess the effectiveness of the controls that have been established to comply
with these laws and regulations.

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 2.24 years.
As of December 31, 1998, the Corporation held securities of one issuer
with a carrying value exceeding ten percent of total shareholders' equity.
General obligations of the State of Mississippi with a carrying value of
$109,378,000 and an approximate fair value of $115,435,000 were held on December
31, 1998. Included in the aforementioned State of Mississippi holdings are bonds
with an aggregate carrying value of $17,028,000 and an approximate fair value of
$19,429,000 which are known to be prerefunded or escrowed to maturity by U. S.
Government securities.

======= ======= ======= ======= =======
</TABLE>

Generally, a loan is classified as nonaccrual and the accrual of
interest on such loan is discontinued when a contractual payment of principal or
interest has become 90 days past due or Management has serious doubts about
collectibility of principal or interest even though the loan is currently
performing. A delinquent loan may remain in an accruing status if it is either
guaranteed or well secured and in process of collection. When a loan is placed
in 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 all contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
Interest which would have 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, 1998 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.

loans outstanding during the period 0.21% 0.18% 0.19% 0.22% 0.12%
======== ======== ======== ======== ========
</TABLE>

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
adequate by Management to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The
level of the allowance is based on Management's periodic evaluation of the
portfolio, the Corporation's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks
in the portfolio, composition of the portfolio, current economic conditions,
review of specific criticized credits and other relevant factors. This
evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires 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, 1998. These allocations
were determined based upon Management's analysis of the various types of risk
associated with the Corporation's loan portfolio. A discussion of Management's
methodology for performing the analysis follows the table ($ in thousands):

Allocation for pools of
risk-rated loans $ 34,223
Additional allocation for
risk-rated loans 1,621
Allocation for selected
industries 4,096
General allocation for
all other loans 11,235
Allocation for available lines
of credit and letters of credit 3,214
Unallocated 11,761
-------
Total $66,150
=======

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which Management
and the Board of Directors believe is adequate to absorb 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 are uniformly applied to pools of risk-rated loans within the
commercial portfolio. These percentages are determined based on migration
analysis, previously established floors for each category and economic factors.
In addition, relationships of $500,000 or more which are risk-rated Other Loans
Especially Mentioned or Substandard and all which are risk-rated Doubtful are
reviewed by the Corporation's Internal Asset Review staff to determine if
standard percentages appear to be sufficient to cover inherent loss on each
line. In the event that the percentages on any particular lines were determined
to be insufficient, additional allocations are made based upon recommendations
of lending and asset review personnel.
Industry allocations are 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 inherent
losses within portions of the loan portfolio not addressed in the preceeding
allocations. The types of loans included in the general allocation are
residential mortgage loans, direct and indirect consumer loans, credit card
loans and overdrafts. The actual allocation amount is based upon the more
conservative of: loss experience within these categories during the year, 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 are the
same as those applied to the funded portions of the commercial and retail loan
portfolios, are applied to cover any potential losses in these off-balance sheet
categories.
The remaining $11.8 million is unallocated 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.

No other category of short-term borrowings is required to be disclosed
because the average balance was less than 30% of shareholders' equity at the end
of 1998.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Trustmark's principal offices are housed in a 14-floor combination
office and bank building located in Jackson, Mississippi and owned by the Bank.
Approximately 174,000 square feet (61%) of the available space in the main
office building is allocated to bank use with the remainder occupied by tenants
on a lease basis. The Bank also operates 108 full-service branches, 21
limited-service branches, 11 in-store branches and an ATM network which includes
84 ATMs at on-premise locations and 63 ATMs located at off-premise sites. The
Bank leases 68 of its 184 locations with the remainder being owned.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Trustmark and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits and other claims
that arise in the ordinary course of business; some of the lawsuits assert
claims related to the lending, collection, servicing, investment, trust and
other business activities; and some of the lawsuits allege substantial claims
for damages. The cases are being vigorously contested. In the regular course of
business, Management evaluates estimated losses or costs related to litigation,
and provision is made for anticipated losses whenever Management believes that
such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. At the present time,
Management believes, based on the advice of legal counsel, that the final
resolution of pending legal proceedings will not have a material impact on
Trustmark's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
