                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Plan Administrator of
Trustmark National Bank
401(k) Plan:

We have audited the  accompanying  statements  of net assets  available for plan
benefits of the  Trustmark  National  Bank 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the related  statement of changes in net assets available
for  plan  benefits  for the year  ended  December  31,  1998.  These  financial
statements  and the schedules  referred to below are the  responsibility  of the
Plan's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion  on  these
financial statements and schedules based on our audits

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1998 and 1997,  and the changes in its net assets  available for
plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental  schedules listed in the
accompanying index are presented for the purpose of additional  analysis and are
not a required  part of the basic  financial  statements  but are  supplementary
information  required by the  Department  of Labor's Rules and  Regulations  for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employment  Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  The Fund  Information  in the statement of net assets  available for plan
benefits and the statement of changes in net assets  available for plan benefits
is presented for purposes of additional  analysis rather than to present the net
assets  available for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for plan
benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been
subjected  to the  auditing  procedures  applied  in  the  audits  of the  basic
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  are fairly  stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997


1.  PLAN DESCRIPTION

The following  description of the Trustmark National Bank 401(k) Plan (the Plan)
is provided for general information purposes only.  Participants should refer to
the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The  Plan is a  defined  contribution  plan  established  for the  employees  of
Trustmark National Bank (the Company).  Employees who are active participants in
the  Canton  Exchange  Bank   Employee's   Retirement  Plan  are  ineligible  to
participate in the Plan. The Plan provides  eligibility for participation on the
next semiannual entry date (January 1st or July 1st) following the completion of
at least 1,000 hours of service  during the  twelve-month  period  ending on the
anniversary of a person's employment commencement date.

Effective  January 1, 1997 the Plan name was changed  from  "Trustmark  National
Bank Profit  Sharing  Plan" to "Trustmark  National  Bank 401(k) Plan".  On that
date, 100% of the sponsor directed Profit Sharing Trust was spun off in order to
establish the Trustmark National Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

Effective April 30, 1999, the ESOP was merged into the Plan.

Plan Administration

Under a trust agreement,  Trustmark  National Bank was appointed trustee for the
Plan through June 30, 1998.  Effective  July 1, 1998,  the Plan's record keeping
and trust  functions  were  transferred  to Bisys Plan Services and Frontier and
Reliance  Trusts,  respectively.  In connection  with this transfer,  the Plan's
existing  investment  options  were  converted  to  individual  funds.  The Plan
Administrator is Trustmark National Bank.

Employee Contributions

The Plan  allows  participants  to make  voluntary  before-tax  salary  deferral
contributions,  through  payroll  deductions,  to separately  invested  funds in
accordance with ss. 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. If certain requirements
of Internal  Revenue Code ss. 401(k) are not met in Plan  operation,  the salary
deferral  agreements of  participants  may, on a  nondiscriminatory  and uniform
basis,  be  amended or revoked to  preserve  the  qualified  status of the Plan.
Voluntary after-tax contributions by participants are not allowed.  Participants
may direct investment of their voluntary  contributions among several investment
options.

Employees  can elect to  contribute  up to 15% of their pay each  period  not to
exceed $7,000 of their annual  earnings before taxes.  Any excess  contributions
must be returned to the applicable  participant by April 15 of the calendar year
following  the year of excess  contributions.  The Plan does not allow  rollover
contributions from individual retirement accounts or other qualified plans.

Employer Contributions

In general,  employee  contributions  are not matched by the employer;  however,
former  participants  of the Rankin  County Bank 401(k) Plan are  eligible for a
100% match of their contributions on up to 3% of their annual compensation.

The company  contributed  $2,500,000 to the Plan in 1998. This  contribution was
allocated  in  1999 to ESOP  participants  based  upon  the  proportion  of each
participant's compensation as of December 31, 1998 to the total compensation for
all  participants  as of that date.  The Plan was  amended to allow  safe-harbor
contributions,  as defined in the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  and to increase the
maximum  allowable  salary  deferral  contribution  from  $7,000 to the  maximum
allowed by law ($10,000 for 1999).

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
                           DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997

Allocations

Employee contributions are allocated directly to each participant's account.

Investment  earnings  of the  Plan's  trust  funds  are  allocated  based on the
investment  earnings base  multiplied by the  calculated  rate of return for the
separate trust accounts. The investment earnings base is calculated as beginning
of the year account  balance  plus one half of the current year salary  deferral
contributions less withdrawals and transfers out.

Forfeitures  of non  vested  employer  match  accounts  are used to  reduce  the
employer match contribution.

Vesting

On the first day of the  month  coincident  with or  following  a  participant's
sixty-fifth birthday, such participant is entitled to retire from active service
with the employer,  and 100% of the value of the participant's share of the Plan
becomes fully vested. A participant also vests 100% upon death or termination of
employment due to permanent disability.

Participants  are  immediately  vested  in  their  voluntary  contributions  and
safe-harbor   employer   contributions   and  vest  in  their   employer   match
contributions as shown in the following schedule:

                     Years of
                  Vesting Service                Vested Percentage
                  ---------------                -----------------
                   Less than 5                              0%
                    5 or more                             100%


In case of termination of the Plan, the value of each participant's share of the
Plan shall become fully vested as of the date of such termination.

Payment of Benefits

On retirement,  death,  disability or termination of service,  a participant may
elect to receive a  lump-sum  distribution  equal to his or her  vested  account
balance or a life annuity. In addition,  hardship distributions are permitted if
certain criteria are met.

Plan Termination

The Company  anticipates  that the Plan will continue  without  interruption but
reserves the right to discontinue  the Plan at its  discretion.  In the event of
termination,  the Plan's  net  assets  would be  distributed  by the  trustee in
accordance with the trust agreement in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The  Plan's  financial  statements  are  prepared  using  the  accrual  basis of
accounting,  with the exception of the payment of benefits, which are recognized
as a  reduction  in the  net  assets  of the  Plan  as  they  are  disbursed  to
participants.

                           DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets,  liabilities,  and changes  therein,  and
disclosures of contingent  assets and  liabilities.  Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments

Cash equivalents are stated at cost which approximates market value.  Marketable
securities are stated at fair value.  Securities traded on a national securities
exchange are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of
the year.  The Stable Value Fund  invests a portion of its assets in  Guaranteed
Investment Contracts (GICs) which are fully  benefit-responsive and are recorded
at cost which approximates fair market value.

Net Appreciation in Fair Value of Investments

Net  appreciation in fair value of investments,  as recorded in the accompanying
statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits, includes changes
in fair value of investments acquired, sold or held during the year.

Administrative Fees

Professional fees incurred by the Plan are paid by the Company.

3. INVESTMENTS

The fair value of individual investments that represent 5 percent or more of the
Plan's net assets as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

4. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter
dated June 1, 1998,  that the Plan and related  trust are designed in accordance

amended  since   receiving  the   determination   letter.   However,   the  Plan
administrator  and the Plan's tax counsel  believe that the Plan is designed and
is currently  being operated in compliance  with the applicable  requirements of
the IRC.

5. RELATED PARTIES

Plan assets include investments held with the Company.  These investments do not
constitute prohibited transactions as defined in ERISA Section 406(a). Trustmark

Mutual Funds.
