ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Trustmark Corporation (Trustmark) is a bank holding company
headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi, 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 nonbanking subsidiaries. The Bank accounts for substantially all of
the assets and revenues of Trustmark. Chartered by the State of Mississippi in
1889, the Bank is also headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi. As of February 28,
2001, the Bank and its subsidiaries employed approximately 2,273 full-time
equivalent employees. Neither Trustmark nor the Bank has any foreign activities.
Trustmark also owns all of the stock of F.S. Corporation and First Building
Corporation, both nonbank Mississippi corporations, which are primarily dormant
and not considered significant subsidiaries.
Through its subsidiaries, Trustmark operates as a financial services
organization providing banking, investment and insurance solutions to corporate,
institutional and individual customers within the state of Mississippi.
Trustmark engages in business through its three reportable segments: Retail
Banking, Commercial Banking and Financial Services.

Retail Banking
Retail Banking provides a full range of financial products and services
to individuals and small business customers through Trustmark's 130 branch
locations located in 50 Mississippi communities. Customers may access automated
teller machines (ATM) through Trustmark's network of 155 locations throughout
Mississippi, in addition to other ATM networks. TrustTouch services allow
customers to access detailed account information, via a toll free number 24
hours a day and TrustTouchpc services offer customers the flexibility to access
account information as well as the ability to process transactions 24 hours a
day via computer. Trustmark provides Retail Banking customers with various
personal loan products and small business loans. Trustmark also lends to
moderate and lower income homeowners through Community Reinvestment Act programs
such as the Downpayment Assistance Program and Farmers Home Multi-Family Home
Program.
Trustmark recognizes the significant impact small businesses have on
our market and have addressed these needs through the creation of a specialized
Business Banking group, which provides banking, investment and insurance
solutions to businesses with annual sales of up to $3 million. The Bank at Work
program serves as an alternative delivery channel that provides banking services
on-site to businesses employing over 100 people.

Commercial Banking
Commercial Banking provides various financial products and services to
corporate and middle market clients through the Bank's Commercial Lending,
Commercial Real Estate, Indirect Lending and Private Banking groups. One of the
newest products offered is Business Advantage, designed to give businesses a
total package of business savings, financial management and convenient services
in one comprehensive package, when combined with a regular commercial or small
business checking account. To better meet the unique credit needs of larger
businesses, the Commercial Lending group has created relationship managers to
work primarily with local middle market firms, specialized industries, as well
as, large regional and national firms.
Trustmark continues to be active in automobile finance directly,
throughout its extensive branch network and through a long-established indirect
network of automobile dealers.
Financial Services
Financial Services includes trust and fiduciary services, discount
brokerage services, insurance services, as well as credit card and mortgage
services. With $7.0 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. The
Wealth Management Group was established during 2000, to provide customized
solutions for affluent customers by integrating investment management, estate
planning, insurance products and private banking.
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.
Included in Financial Services is Trustmark's proprietary mutual fund
family, Performance Funds. During 2000, Trustmark introduced the Leaders Equity
Fund, comprised of both growth stocks and value stocks, as the newest addition
to the Performance Funds. The seven mutual funds are designed and managed by
Trustmark investment professionals and are offered through Trustmark Financial
Services, Inc. (TFSI), the Bank's full service brokerage subsidiary.
Trustmark experienced continued growth during 2000 in insurance related
products, offered by The Bottrell Insurance Agency, Inc. (Bottrell), the Bank's
insurance subsidiary. Bottrell provides a variety of risk management services to
businesses across Mississippi, in addition to a full range of personal insurance
products.
Additional information on Trustmark's segments can be found in Note 16,
"Segment Information," (page 37) included in Trustmark's 2000 Annual Report to
Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference.

Business Combinations
On December 13, 2000, Trustmark entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire Barret Bancorp, Inc. (Barret) in Millington, Tennessee. With assets of
$516 million, Barret is the holding company for Peoples Bank in Millington,
Tennessee, and Somerville Bank and Trust Company in Somerville, Tennessee.
Trustmark will pay $51.2 million in cash and will issue from 2.4 to 3.3 million
shares of its common stock in the transaction, which will be accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting. The acquisition is subject to the approval of
Barret shareholders and regulatory authorities and is expected to be completed
in the second quarter of 2001.

COMPETITION

Changes in regulation, technology and product delivery systems have
resulted in an increasingly competitive environment. Trustmark and its
subsidiaries compete with other local, regional and national providers of
banking, investment and insurance products and services such as other bank
holding companies, commercial and state banks, savings and loan associations,
consumer finance companies, mortgage companies, insurance agencies, brokerage
firms, credit unions and financial service operations of major retailers.
Trustmark competes in its markets by offering quality and innovative products
and services at competitive prices. Within Trustmark's market area, none of the
competitors are dominant.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

The following discussion sets forth certain material elements of the
regulatory framework applicable to bank holding companies and their subsidiaries
and provides certain specific information relevant to Trustmark.
General
Trustmark is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding
Company Act (BHC) of 1956, as amended. As such, Trustmark and its nonbank
subsidiaries are subject to the supervision, examination and reporting
requirements of the BHC Act and the regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. In
addition, as part of Federal Reserve policy, a bank holding company is expected
to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to subsidiary banks and
to maintain resources adequate to support each subsidiary bank. Under the BHC
Act, bank holding companies generally may not own or control more than 5% of the
voting shares or substantially all the assets of any company, including a bank,
without the Federal Reserve Board's prior approval. The BHC Act also prohibits
the acquisition by a bank holding company of more than 5% of the outstanding
voting shares of a bank located outside the state in which the operations of its
banking subsidiaries are principally conducted, unless such acquisition is
specifically authorized by statute of the state in which the bank to be acquired
is located. In addition, bank holding companies generally may engage, directly
or indirectly, only in banking and such other activities as are determined by
the Federal Reserve Board to be closely related to banking. Trustmark is also
subject to regulation by the State of Mississippi under its laws of
incorporation. In addition to the impact of regulation, Trustmark and its
subsidiaries may be affected by legislation which can change banking statutes in
substantial and unexpected ways, and by the actions of the Federal Reserve Board
as it attempts to control the money supply and credit availability in order to
influence the economy.
The Bank is a national banking association and, as such, is subject to
regulation primarily by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and,
secondarily, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal
Reserve Board and the Mississippi Department of Banking. Almost every area of
the operations and financial condition of the Bank is subject to extensive
regulation and supervision and to various requirements and restrictions under
federal and state law including loans, reserves, investments, issuance of
securities, establishment of branches, capital adequacy, liquidity, earnings,
dividends, management practices and the provision of services.
The Bank's nonbanking subsidiaries are subject to a variety of state
and federal laws. TFSI, the Bank's full service brokerage subsidiary, is subject
to supervision and regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., state securities
regulators and the various exchanges through which it conducts business.
Bottrell is subject to the insurance laws and regulations of the states in which
it is active. Trustmark's nonbanking subsidiaries are supervised by the Federal
Reserve Board.
Trustmark is also under the jurisdiction of the SEC for matters
relating to the offering and sale of its securities. Trustmark is subject to the
disclosure and regulatory requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as administered by
the SEC.

Capital Adequacy
Trustmark is subject to capital requirements and guidelines imposed on
bank holding companies by the Federal Reserve Board. The OCC imposes similar
capital requirements and guidelines on the Bank. These capital guidelines
involve quantitative and qualitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain
off-balance sheet instruments.
Trustmark and the Bank are required to maintain Tier 1 and total
capital equal to at least 4% and 8% of their total risk-weighted assets,
respectively. At December 31, 2000, Trustmark exceeded both requirements with
Tier 1 capital and total capital equal to 14.05% and 15.31% of its total
risk-weighted assets, respectively. At December 31, 2000, the Bank also exceeded
both requirements with Tier 1 capital and total capital equal to 13.97% and
15.22% of its total risk-weighted assets, respectively.
The Federal  Reserve  Board also  requires  bank  holding  companies to
maintain a minimum leverage ratio. The guidelines provide for a minimum leverage
ratio of 3% for banks and bank holding companies that meet certain specified
criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. At December 31, 2000,
Trustmark's leverage ratio was 8.79%. At December 31, 2000, the Bank's leverage
ratio was 8.75%.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements could subject a bank to a
variety of enforcement remedies. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA), among other things, identifies five capital
categories for insured depository institutions. These include well capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and
critically undercapitalized. FDICIA requires banking regulators to take prompt
corrective action whenever financial institutions do not meet minimum capital
requirements. Failure to meet the capital guidelines could also subject a
depository institution to capital raising requirements. In addition, a
depository institution is generally prohibited from making capital
distributions, including paying dividends, or paying management fees to a
holding company if the institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. As of
December 31, 2000, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized the
Bank as well capitalized based on the prompt corrective action ratios and
guidelines described above.

Payment of Dividends and Other Restrictions
There are various legal and regulatory provisions, which limit the
amount of dividends the Bank can pay to Trustmark without regulatory approval.
Approval of the OCC is required if the total of all dividends declared in any
calendar year exceeds the total of its net income for that year combined with
its retained net income of the preceding two years. During the fourth quarter of
2000, the Bank applied for and received approval from its regulators to pay an
additional $60.0 million in dividends to continue the capital management plan,
as discussed in Note 13, "Shareholders' Equity," included in Trustmark's 2000
Annual Report to Shareholders. Also, in connection with the pending Barret
acquisition, the Bank has applied for and received approval to pay an additional
$51.2 million in dividends. The Bank will have available in 2001 approximately
$81.7 million plus its net income for that year to pay as dividends. In
addition, subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to the
bank holding company or any of its subsidiaries. Further, subsidiary banks of a
bank holding company are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements
in connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or
furnishing of any services to the bank holding company.

FDIC Insurance Assessments
The deposits of the Bank are insured up to regulatory limits set by the
FDIC and, accordingly, are subject to deposit insurance assessments. The FDIC
has the authority to raise or lower assessment rates on insured deposits in
order to achieve certain designated ratios in the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and
the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) and to impose special assessments.
The FDIC applies a risk-based assessment system that places each financial
institution into one of nine categories based on capital levels and supervisory
evaluations provided to the FDIC by the institution's primary federal regulator.
Each institution's insurance assessment rate is then determined by the risk
category in which it is classified. At December 31, 2000, the Bank's annual BIF
and SAIF assessment rates were $0.0196 per $100 of insured deposits.

Financial Modernization - The Gramm Leach Bliley Act
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999
(Act) affects every facet of a depository institution's operations. The Act does
three fundamental things that affect the banking industry: (a) repeals key
provisions of the Glass Steagall Act to permit commercial banks to affiliate
with securities firms, insurance companies and other financial service
providers; (b) establishes a statutory framework pursuant to which full
affiliations can occur between these entities; and (c) provides financial
services organizations with flexibility in structuring these new financial
affiliations through a financial holding company structure or a financial
subsidiary.
As a result of the Act, banks are able to offer  customers a wide range
of financial products and services without the restraints of previous
legislation. In addition, bank holding companies and other financial services
providers have been able to commence new activities and develop new affiliations
much more readily. The primary provisions of the Act related to the
establishment of financial holding companies and financial subsidiaries became
effective on March 11, 2000. Management currently is evaluating the full impact
of the Act on Trustmark.

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 3.70 years.
As of December 31, 2000, Trustmark 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 $102.8 million
and an approximate fair value of $106 million were held on December 31, 2000.
Included in the aforementioned State of Mississippi holdings are bonds with an
aggregate carrying value of $30.6 million and an approximate fair value of $32.6
million, 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
further collectibility of principal or interest, even though the loan is
currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the
process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. 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 the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in
doubt. Loans are generally measured for impairment based on the present value of
the loan's effective interest rate, except when foreclosure or liquidation is
probable or when the primary source of repayment is provided by real estate
collateral. The policy for recognizing income on impaired loans is consistent
with the nonaccrual policy.
At December 31, 2000, 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.
Trustmark 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 identified loan
impairments, Trustmark's past loan loss expericence, 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 Trustmark's
allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2000. These allocations were
determined based upon Management's analysis of the various types of risk
associated with Trustmark'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 $41,532
Additional allocation for risk-rated loans 1,368
Allocation for selected industries 4,749
General allocation for all other loans 13,087
Allocation for available lines of credit and letters of credit 2,195
Unallocated 2,919
--------
Total $65,850
========

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed
adequate by Management to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio, in
addition to 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 as other
loans especially mentioned or substandard and all which are risk-rated doubtful
are reviewed by Trustmark's Asset Review Department staff to determine if
standard percentages appear to be sufficient to cover probable losses in each
category. In the event that the percentages on any particular lines are
determined to be insufficient, additional allocations are made based upon
recommendations of lending and Asset Review Department 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 probable
loan losses within portions of the loan portfolio not addressed in the preceding
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: either the 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. 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.
As the review of the allowance for loan losses involves a significant
degree of judgment by Management and is imprecise by nature, the unallocated
$2.9 million relates to issues that cannot be measured on a quantitative basis
over a prolonged period of time.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Trustmark's principal offices are housed in a 14-floor building located
in Jackson, Mississippi and owned by the Bank. Approximately 207,000 square feet
(78%) 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 100 full-service branches, 20 limited-service branches, 10 in-store
branches and an ATM network which includes 89 ATMs at on-premise locations and
66 ATMs located at off-premise sites. The Bank leases 66 of its 175 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.
