                          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. Amended and Restated Salary Deferral - Profit
Sharing Employee Stock Ownership Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1998. 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. Amended and Restated Salary Deferral - Profit Sharing
Employee Ownership Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1998, 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 1998
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

(1)    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

       The following description of the BancorpSouth, Inc. Amended and Restated
       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 participant 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.

                  PROFIT SHARING EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1998 and 1997


              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.

       (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, and other adjustments are maintained in an "employee
              deferral account." 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 their
              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 fair value of the stock.

(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,
              which approximates fair value.

              INCOME TAXES

              The Plan is exempt from federal income taxes in accordance with
              the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. A favorable
              determination letter, dated August 12, 1985, was received from the
              Internal Revenue Service. The Plan has been amended since
              receiving the determination letter. However, the plan
              administrator and the Plan's legal counsel believe that the plan
              is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the
              applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Amounts
              contributed by the Company are not taxed to the employee until a
              distribution from the Plan is received.

              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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
              liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
              reported amounts of income and expenses during the period.
