SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
include the accounts of Hancock Holding Company, its wholly owned banks,
Hancock Bank and Hancock Bank of Louisiana and other subsidiaries.
Intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

         The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the entire year.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto of Hancock Holding Company's 1993 Annual Report to
Shareholders.

RECENT CHANGES IN FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities.  This Statement requires securities to be classified into
one of three reporting categories (held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or
trading).  Securities classified as held-to-maturity, also referred to herein
as investment securities, are carried at amortized cost.  Those classified as
available-for-sale are carried at market value with the unrealized gain or loss
(net of income tax effect) reflected as a component of stockholder's equity.
Those classified as trading are carried at market value with the unrealized
gain or loss reflected in the statement of earnings.

ACQUISITION

         On April 29, 1994, the Company merged Hancock Bank of Louisiana, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with First State Bank and Trust Company
of East Baton Rouge Parish, Baker, Louisiana (BAKER).  The merger was
consummated by the exchange of all outstanding common stock of BAKER in return
for approximately 520,000 shares of common stock of the Company.  The merger
was accounted for using the pooling of interests method, therefore all prior
years' financial information has been restated.  BAKER had total assets of
appproximately $75,000,000 and stockholders' equity of approximately
$11,800,000 as of April 29, 1994.

PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS

         In July 1994, the Company agreed to merge Hancock Bank of Louisiana, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, with Washington Bank & Trust Company
(Washington), Franklinton, Louisiana.  The merger will be consummated by the
exchange of all outstanding common stock of Washington in return for
approximately 540,000 shares of common stock of the Company.  Completion of the
merger is contingent upon approval by First State Bank shareholders, the
Louisiana Commissioner of Financial Institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation and the Federal Reserve.  It is intended that the merger will be
accounted for using the pooling of interests method.  Washington had total
assets of approximately $87,000,000 and stockholders' equity of approximately
$11,700,000 as of March 31, 1994 and net earnings of $269,000 for the three
month period then ended.

(1)      Equity capital consists of stockholder's equity (common stock, capital
         surplus and undivided profits).

(2)      Total capital consists of equity capital less intangible assets plus a
         limited amount of loan loss reserves.  Risk-weighted assets represent
         the assigned risk portion of all on and off balance sheet assets.
         Based on Federal Reserve Board guidelines, assets are assigned a risk
         factor percentage from 0% to 100%.  A minimum ratio of total capital
         to risk- weighted assets of 8% is required.

(3)      Tier 1 capital consists of equity capital less intangible assets.  A
         minimum ratio of tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4% is
         required.

(4)      Leverage capital consists of equity capital less goodwill and core
         deposit intangibles.  The Federal Reserve Board currently requires
         bank holding companies rated Composite 1 under the BOPEC rating system
         to maintain a minimum 3% leverage capital ratio and all other bank
         holding companies not rated a Composite 1 under the BOPEC rating
         system to maintain a minimum 4% to 5% leverage capital ratio.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Earnings

         Net earnings decreased $870,000 or 14% for the second quarter of 1994
compared to the second quarter of 1993.  Net earnings for the first six months
of 1994 decreased $2,014,000 or 17% from the comparable period in 1993.  The
decline in earnings in the second quarter and first six months of 1994 is
largely attributable to a decreased net interest margin as a result of lower
loan and investment rates and increased operating expenses.

Provision for Loan Losses

         The amount of the reserve equals the cumulative total of the
provisions for loan losses, reduced by actual loan charge-offs, and increased
by reserves acquired in acquisitions and recoveries of loans previously
charged-off.  Provisions are made to the reserve to reflect the currently
perceived risks of loss associated with the bank's loan portfolio.  A specific
loan is charged-off when management believes, after considering, among other
things, the borrower's condition and the value of any collateral, that
collection of the loan is unlikely.

         The following ratios are useful in determining the adequacy of the
loan loss reserve and loan loss provision and are calculated using average loan
balances.

Income Taxes

         The effective tax rate of the Company continues to be less than the
statutory rate of 35%, due primarily to tax-exempt interest income.  The amount
of tax-exempt income earned during the first six months of 1994 was $1,744,000
compared to $2,245,000 for the comparable period in 1993.  Income tax expense
decreased from $5,332,000 in the first six months of 1993 to $4,710,000 in the
first six months of 1994.  This decrease is primarily due to decreased net
income.
