BUSINESS GENERAL Trustmark Corporation (Trustmark) is a one-bank holding company which was incorporated under the Mississippi Business Corporation Act on August 5, 1968, and commenced doing business in November 1968. Trustmark's primary business activities are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trustmark National Bank (the Bank) and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trustmark Financial Services, Inc. (TFSI) and Trustmark Insurance Agency, Inc. The Bank accounts for substantially all of the assets and revenues of Trustmark. Chartered by the State of Mississippi in 1889, the Bank is headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi and is the largest bank in the state. Trustmark also owns all of the stock of F.S. Corporation and First Building Corporation, both nonbank Mississippi corporations. F.S. Corporation and First Building Corporation are primarily dormant and are not considered significant subsidiaries. Trustmark provides a broad array of traditional banking products and services primarily to customers in Mississippi through its network of 140 branches and 147 ATMs. In order to service Retail clients' needs more effectively, Pinnacle, a proactive client-focused sales process, was implemented during 1998. As a result of Pinnacle, Trustmark associates have a higher level of client knowledge and understand the financial alternatives best suited to the client's needs. In addition, improvements to Trustmark's delivery channels have expedited communication and information flow to the point of sale thus providing faster and more convenient transactions for clients. In order to allow customers to do their banking around the clock from their homes or offices, Trustmark offers the TrustTouch automated response system. Customers may also obtain information about Trustmark's services via the Internet by accessing its web site (www.trustmark.com). Trustmark's Card Services offer MasterCard, VISA, VISA Gold and VISA Business credit card services to consumers and merchants throughout Mississippi. Trustmark's ExpressCheck debit card allows clients to conveniently pay for purchases from merchants, withdraw cash from automated teller machines and receive account balance information or transfer funds between their accounts at their convenience. For many years, Trustmark has been active in automobile finance directly throughout its extensive branch network as well as through a long-established indirect network of automobile dealers. Home mortgage lending increased significantly during 1998 and has strengthened Trustmark's position as a premier home lender. In addition, Trustmark's home mortgage department services more than $3.4 billion in home loans throughout the Southeast. Trustmark provides loans, deposit services and cash management for Mississippi businesses. Cash management services offers new technology and services for businesses to monitor cash flow through the utilization of TrustNet computer banking, automated clearing services which facilitates electronic bill payment and direct deposit of employee pay and Trustmark's Mutual Fund Sweep account. Trustmark offers commercial real estate loans targeting the residential real estate development and construction markets. Trustmark also lends to moderate and lower income homeowners in several markets through Community Reinvestment Act programs such as the Downpayment Assistance Program and Farmers Home Multi-Family Home Program. Trustmark's Correspondent Banking Department maintains relationships with independent banks across the state, providing competitively priced cash management services, financing and clearing services. Trustmark's public services bankers offer cash management products, loans and investment services tailored for the needs of public entities such as state agencies, municipal government and school districts. Trustmark offers a broad line of banking, investment and insurance products designed to meet the objectives of retail and commercial clients.

In 1999, Trustmark will address the insurance needs of clients by broadening the products and services offered by its insurance subsidiary, Trustmark Insurance Agency, Inc. As of March 11, 1999, Trustmark and the Bank employed approximately 2,250 full-time equivalent employees. COMPETITION Trustmark competes with national and state banks in its service areas for all types of depository, credit, investment and trust services. In addition, it competes in its respective service areas with other financial institutions including savings and loan associations, consumer finance companies, mortgage companies, insurance companies, brokerage firms, credit unions and financial service operations of major retailers. All these institutions compete in the areas of interest rates, the availability and quality of services and products, and the pricing of these services and products. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION Trustmark is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. As such, Trustmark is required to file an annual report and such additional information as the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System may require. The Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Board of Governors before it may acquire substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank, if, after the acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than five percent of the voting shares of the bank. In addition, a bank holding company is generally prohibited from engaging in or acquiring direct or indirect control of voting shares of any company engaged in nonbanking activities. One of the principal exceptions to this prohibition is for activities found by the Board of Governors, by order or regulation, to be closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks "as to be a proper incident thereto." The Board has by regulation determined that a number of activities are closely related to banking within the meaning of the Act. In addition, Trustmark is subject to regulation by the State of Mississippi under its laws of incorporation. The Bank is subject to various requirements and restrictions by federal and state banking authorities, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Mississippi Department of Banking. Areas subject to regulation include loans, reserves, investments, issuance of securities, establishment of branches, loans to directors, executive officers and their related interests, relationships with correspondent banks, consumer protection and other aspects of operations. In addition, national banks are subject to legal limitations on the amount of earnings they may pay as dividends. The Bank also is insured by, and therefore subject to, the regulations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). In December 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) was enacted. FDICIA substantially revised the depository institution regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and made revisions to several other federal banking statutes. Among other things, FDICIA requires banking regulators to take prompt corrective action whenever financial institutions do not meet minimum capital requirements. In addition, FDICIA has created restrictions on capital distributions that would leave a depository institution undercapitalized. FDICIA regulations also include procedures and interpretive guidelines that mandate certain audit and reporting requirements for financial institutions. Management is responsible for not only preparing Trustmark's annual financial statements, but also establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, Management must comply with certain laws and regulations designated by the FDIC as well as assess the effectiveness of the controls that have been established to comply with these laws and regulations.

A delinquent loan may remain in an accruing status if it is either guaranteed or well secured and in process of collection. When a loan is placed in nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income in the current and prior years is reversed against interest income. Interest received on nonaccrual loans is applied against principal. Loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current or has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time, and the ultimate collectibility of all contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. Interest which would have accrued on nonaccrual and restructured loans if they had been in compliance with their original terms is immaterial. In addition, interest income on these loans that was included in net income for the periods presented was immaterial. At December 31, 1998 Management is not aware of any additional credits, other than those identified above, where serious doubts as to the repayment of principal and interest exist. There are no interest-earning assets which would be required to be disclosed above if those assets were loans. The Corporation had no loan concentrations greater than ten percent of total loans other than those loan categories shown in Table 5. TABLE 8 - ANALYSIS OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The table below summarizes the Corporation's loan loss experience for each of the last five years ($ in thousands): Year Ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------------------ 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Balance at beginning of period $ 64,100 $ 63,000 $ 62,000 $ 65,014 $ 65,014 Loans charged off: Real estate loans (1,121) (503) (1,507) (1,663) (1,034) Loans to finance agricultural production (73) (79) (177) (115) (21) Commercial and industrial (2,561) (1,406) (1,334) (764) (979) Loans to individuals for personal expenditures (6,698) (6,353) (5,651) (6,300) (4,780) All other loans (1,819) (619) (603) (648) (267) -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total charge-offs (12,272) (8,960) (9,272) (9,490) (7,081) Recoveries on loans previously charged off: Real estate loans 72 92 325 981 732 Loans to finance agricultural production 2 7 3 10 8 Commercial and industrial 1,181 877 1,334 736 581 Loans to individuals for personal expenditures 2,960 2,283 2,087 1,848 2,703 All other loans 1,036 775 740 462 271 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total recoveries 5,251 4,034 4,489 4,037 4,295 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Net charge-offs (7,021) (4,926) (4,783) (5,453) (2,786) Additions to allowance charged to operating expense 7,771 4,682 5,783 2,439 2,786 Other additions to allowance for loan losses 1,300 1,344 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Balance at end of period $ 66,150 $ 64,100 $ 63,000 $ 62,000 $ 65,014 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Percentage of net charge-offs during period to average loans outstanding during the period 0.21% 0.18% 0.19% 0.22% 0.12% ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by Management to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of the allowance is based on Management's periodic evaluation of the portfolio, the Corporation's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, composition of the portfolio, current economic conditions, review of specific criticized credits and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change. TABLE 9 - ALLOCATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The following table is a summary by allocation category of the Corporation's allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1998. These allocations were determined based upon Management's analysis of the various types of risk associated with the Corporation's loan portfolio. A discussion of Management's methodology for performing the analysis follows the table ($ in thousands): Allocation for pools of risk-rated loans $ 34,223 Additional allocation for risk-rated loans 1,621 Allocation for selected industries 4,096 General allocation for all other loans 11,235 Allocation for available lines of credit and letters of credit 3,214 Unallocated 11,761 ------- Total $66,150 ======= The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which Management and the Board of Directors believe is adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio, plus estimated losses associated with off-balance sheet credit instruments such as letters of credit and unfunded lines of credit. The adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly utilizing the criteria specified in the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's revised Banking Circular 201 as well as additional guidance provided in the Interagency Policy Statement. Loss percentages are uniformly applied to pools of risk-rated loans within the commercial portfolio. These percentages are determined based on migration analysis, previously established floors for each category and economic factors. In addition, relationships of $500,000 or more which are risk-rated Other Loans Especially Mentioned or Substandard and all which are risk-rated Doubtful are reviewed by the Corporation's Internal Asset Review staff to determine if standard percentages appear to be sufficient to cover inherent loss on each line. In the event that the percentages on any particular lines were determined to be insufficient, additional allocations are made based upon recommendations of lending and asset review personnel. Industry allocations are made based on concentrations of credit within the portfolio as well as arbitrary designation of certain other industries by Management. The general allocation is included in the allowance to cover inherent losses within portions of the loan portfolio not addressed in the preceeding allocations. The types of loans included in the general allocation are residential mortgage loans, direct and indirect consumer loans, credit card loans and overdrafts. The actual allocation amount is based upon the more conservative of: loss experience within these categories during the year, the historical 5-year moving average for each category, or previously established floors. The amount included in the allocation for lines of credit and letters of credit consists of a percentage of the unused portion of those lines and the amount outstanding in letters of credit. Arbitrary percentages, which are the same as those applied to the funded portions of the commercial and retail loan portfolios, are applied to cover any potential losses in these off-balance sheet categories. The remaining $11.8 million is unallocated and serves as added protection in the event that any of the above specific components are determined to be inadequate or for issues that cannot or have not been measured on a quantitative basis over a prolonged period of time. TABLE 10 - TIME DEPOSITS OF $100,000 OR MORE The table below shows maturities on outstanding time deposits of $100,000 or more at December 31, 1998 ($ in thousands): 3 months or less $178,083 Over 3 months through 6 months 74,363 Over 6 months through 12 months 80,559 Over 12 months 42,908 -------- Total $375,913 ======== TABLE 11 - SELECTED RATIOS The following ratios are presented for each of the last three years: 1998 1997 1996 ------ ------ ------ Return on average assets 1.41% 1.34% 1.27% Return on average equity 13.53% 12.67% 13.07% Dividend payout ratio 30.92% 30.26% 26.74% Equity to assets ratio 10.42% 10.56% 9.76% TABLE 12 - SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS The table below presents certain information concerning the Corporation's short-term borrowings for each of the last three years ($ in thousands): 1998 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- ---------- Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements: Amount outstanding at end of period $1,318,545 $ 948,700 $ 967,191 Weighted average interest rate at end of period 4.48% 5.72% 5.46% Maximum amount outstanding at any month end during each period $1,544,385 $1,003,907 $1,036,564 Average amount outstanding during each period $1,151,920 $ 912,089 $ 969,413 Weighted average interest rate during each period 5.11% 5.18% 5.02% No other category of short-term borrowings is required to be disclosed because the average balance was less than 30% of shareholders' equity at the end of 1998. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Trustmark's principal offices are housed in a 14-floor combination office and bank building located in Jackson, Mississippi and owned by the Bank. Approximately 174,000 square feet (61%) of the available space in the main office building is allocated to bank use with the remainder occupied by tenants on a lease basis. The Bank also operates 108 full-service branches, 21 limited-service branches, 11 in-store branches and an ATM network which includes 84 ATMs at on-premise locations and 63 ATMs located at off-premise sites. The Bank leases 68 of its 184 locations with the remainder being owned. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Trustmark and its subsidiaries are parties to lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business; some of the lawsuits assert claims related to the lending, collection, servicing, investment, trust and other business activities; and some of the lawsuits allege substantial claims for damages. The cases are being vigorously contested. In the regular course of business, Management evaluates estimated losses or costs related to litigation, and provision is made for anticipated losses whenever Management believes that such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. At the present time, Management believes, based on the advice of legal counsel, that the final resolution of pending legal proceedings will not have a material impact on Trustmark's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
