                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Plan Administrator of the
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, 1999 and 1998, and the related  statement of changes in net assets available
for  plan  benefits  for the year  ended  December  31,  1999.  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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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, 1999 and 1998,  and the changes in its net assets  available for
plan  benefits  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1999,  in  conformity  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our  audits  were  made 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 purposes 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 Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental  schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our 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, 1999 AND 1998



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 assets of
$65,246,031 were transferred from the ESOP to 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  Section  401(k)  of the  Internal  Revenue  Code.  If  certain
requirements  of  Internal  Revenue  Code  Section  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.

<PAGE>

1.  PLAN DESCRIPTION (Continued):

Employees  can elect to  contribute  up to 15% of their pay each  period  not to
exceed $10,000 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,
except for years in which the Company makes a safe harbor contribution.

The Company  contributed  $2,650,000 to the Plan in 1999. This  contribution was
allocated in 2000 to participants  based on safe harbor  requirements.  The safe
harbor allocation totaled  $2,069,829,  and the remaining $580,171 was allocated
as a profit sharing contribution.

Allocations

Employee  contributions are allocated directly to each participant's  account in
accordance with the individual participant's elections.

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%

<PAGE>

1.  PLAN DESCRIPTION (Continued):

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.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally  accepted in the United States  requires  management to make estimates
and assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets,  liabilities,  and
changes therein,  and disclosure 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.

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.

<PAGE>

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

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, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

4.  INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a letter
dated June 11, 1998,  that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance
with applicable  sections of the Internal  Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been
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
National Bank serves as the investment  advisor for the Performance  Funds Trust
Mutual Funds.
