                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Employee Compensation and Fringe Benefit Committee
BancorpSouth, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of BancorpSouth, Inc. Salary Deferral - Profit Sharing Employee Stock
Ownership Plan as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the three-year period
ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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
BancorpSouth, Inc. Salary Deferral - Profit Sharing Employee Ownership Plan at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplementary information included
in Schedules 1 and 2 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and
complying with the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and is not
a required part of the basic financial statements. Such supplementary
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

(1)    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

       The following description of the BancorpSouth, Inc. Salary Deferral -
       Profit Sharing Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan) provides only
       general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for
       a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

       (A)    GENERAL

              The Plan was adopted by BancorpSouth, Inc. (the Company) effective
              January 1, 1984.  It is a defined contribution plan covering
              substantially all full-time employees who have one year of service
              and who have attained age eighteen.  The Plan is subject to the
              provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
              as amended (ERISA).

       (B)    CONTRIBUTIONS

              Plan participants contribute to the Plan by electing to defer one
              percent or more of their current compensation, in whole
              percentages, up to the maximum allowable by law.  The Company
              matches amounts contributed by the participants to the Plan up to
              5 percent of annual compensation.

       (C)    INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

              The investment programs of the Plan are as follows:

                     Fund A - Consists of shares of common stock of the Company
                              and employee loans.

                     Fund B - A fixed income fund investing in Treasury notes,
                              certificates of deposit and other interest-bearing
                              securities.

                     Fund C - A balanced fund investing in common stock of
                              corporations not affiliated with the Company,
                              government bonds and mutual funds.

                     Fund D - A short-term money market fund.

                     Fund E - An equity fund investing in corporations not
                              affiliated with the Company.

              The first 5 percent of compensation contributed by participants
              and all Company contributions are invested in common stock of the
              Company.  Any participant contribution in excess of 5 percent of
              compensation may be invested in the common stock of the Company or
              in any of the other four types of investment funds.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





       (D)    ADMINISTRATION

              The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Board of
              Directors of the Company.  The committee is responsible for
              general administration of the Plan and interpretation and
              execution of the Plan's provisions.

       (E)    PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS

              Two separate accounts are maintained for each participant.  All
              amounts contributed by the participant together with earnings
              thereon, forfeiture allocations, and other adjustments are
              maintained in an "employee deferral account.O  Matching amounts
              contributed by the Company are maintained in a separate "employer
              contribution account" together with similar adjustments.

       (F)    VESTING

              Each participant is 100 percent vested in all amounts in his
              employee deferral account.  Vesting in the employer contribution
              account is as follows: 33-1/3% after two years, 66-2/3% after
              three years, 100% after four years.

       (G)    PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

              Upon termination of service, death or permanent disability, a
              participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to
              the value of his account, or monthly installments over a 5 to
              15-year period.  The monthly benefits cannot be paid over a period
              longer than a participant's life expectancy or for more than 5
              years following his death.  For distributions from Fund A, the
              employee may elect to receive stock of the Company or a cash
              amount equal to the value of the stock.

       (H)    RECLASSIFICATIONS

              Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to
              the 1994 presentation.

(2)    SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       INVESTMENTS

       If available, quoted market prices are used to value investments.  If no
       quoted market prices are available, estimates are used.  When estimates
       are used, many factors, including current yields on similar securities,
       market factors affecting the salability of particular assets, and general
       economic conditions are considered.  Participant loans are recorded at
       their outstanding loan balance.

       INCOME TAXES

       The Plan is exempt from federal income taxes in accordance with the
       provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Amounts contributed by the
       Company are not taxed to the employee until a distribution from the Plan
       is received.

(5)    PLAN TERMINATION

       Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the
       right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
       terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of
       Plan termination, participants will become 100 percent vested in their
       accounts.

(6)    ESOP ROLLOVER

       On August 31, 1992, in accordance with the business combination between
       Volunteer Bancshares, Inc. and Bancorp of Mississippi, Inc. (the
       predecessor of the Company), the Board of Directors of Volunteer
       Bancshares, Inc. decided to terminate the Jackson National Bank Employee
       Stock Ownership Plan (the Jackson National Plan).  Participants in the
       Jackson National Plan had the option of transferring their individual
       accounts into the Plan.  In November 1993, individual accounts totaling
       $146,698 were transferred to the Plan.
