PENDING ACQUISITION On May 27, 2004, MidSouth signed a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of Lamar Bancshares, Inc. in a transaction to be accounted under the purchase accounting method in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted by the United States of America. MidSouth will pay approximately $10,495,000 in cash and issuance of an estimated 370,000 shares (based on an assumed market value of MidSouth stock of $34 per share) of its common stock valued at approximately $12,555,000. MidSouth will also incur acquisition costs presently estimated at approximately $255,000. In connection with this acquisition, MidSouth intends to issue $6,000,000 of junior subordinated preferred stock in order to fund a portion of the acquisition. Lamar had total assets of approximately $112 million (unaudited) at March 31, 2004 and income before income taxes of approximately $1,920,000 (unaudited) for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $441,000 (unaudited) for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The closing is contingent upon certain conditions, including the receipt of necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals. 8 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This review should be read in conjunction with MidSouth Bancorp Inc.'s ("MidSouth") consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained herein, as well as with MidSouth's 2003 annual consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and the related Management's Discussion and Analysis contained in MidSouth's Annual Report on Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003. Forward Looking Statements The Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for disclosure of information about a company's anticipated future financial performance. This act protects a company from unwarranted litigation if actual results differ from management expectations. This management's discussion and analysis reflects management's current views and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry conditions, MidSouth's performance and financial results based on reasonable assumptions. A number of factors and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ from the anticipated results and expectations expressed in the discussion. These factors and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: .. changes in interest rates and market prices that could affect the net interest margin, asset valuation, and expense levels; .. changes in local economic and business conditions that could adversely affect customers and their ability to repay borrowings under agreed upon terms and/or adversely affect the value of the underlying collateral related to the borrowings; .. increased competition for deposits and loans which could affect rates and terms; .. changes in the levels of prepayments received on loans and investment securities that adversely affect the yield and value of the earning assets; .. a deviation in actual experience from the underlying assumptions used to determine and establish the Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALL"); .. changes in the availability of funds resulting from reduced liquidity or increased costs; .. the timing and impact of future acquisitions, the success or failure of integrating operations, and the ability to capitalize on growth opportunities upon entering new markets; .. the ability to acquire, operate and maintain effective and efficient operating systems; .. increased asset levels and changes in the composition of assets which would impact capital levels and regulatory capital ratios; .. loss of critical personnel and the challenge of hiring qualified personnel at reasonable compensation levels; .. changes in government regulations applicable to financial holding companies and banking; .. and acts of terrorism , weather, or other events beyond MidSouth's control. 9 Recent Developments On May 27, 2004, MidSouth signed a definitive agreement with Lamar Bancshares of Beaumont, Texas to merge the two holding companies. The companies' banks, MidSouth Bank and Lamar Bank will continue to operate as separate subsidiaries under MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. Lafayette- based MidSouth Bank will continue to serve the Louisiana market, with Lamar Bank directing the Texas expansion. MidSouth plans to build new Lamar Bank offices in Conroe and College Station, Texas, and plans to continue expansion in the north Houston and Woodlands area. The transaction is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2004. The closing is contingent upon certain conditions, including receipt of the necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals. Overview Second quarter 2004 net income was $1,745,367, a 7.5% increase over the $1,624,141 for the second quarter of 2003 and up 5% over first quarter 2004 net income of $1,660,948. Basic earnings per share were $.55 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, up from the $.51 per share for the second quarter of 2003, and the $.52 per share in the first quarter of 2004. Diluted earnings per share were $.52 for the second quarter of 2004 compared to $.49 per share for the second quarter of 2003 and $.50 per share for the first quarter of 2004. Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $3,406,315, which is a $471,622 or 16% increase over the $2,934,693 in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Basic earnings per share were $1.07 for the first six months of 2004 versus $.92 for the first six months of 2003. Diluted earnings per share were $1.02 and $.89, respectively. Net income increased $121,226 in the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003, primarily due to increased interest income of $437,214 resulting from a 21% increase in average earning assets. The improvement in interest income was partially offset by a $106,813 increase in interest expense, a $90,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $130,748 increase in non-interest expense. Interest expense increased due to a $61.2 million or 24% increase in the average volume of interest-bearing deposits, resulting primarily from the addition of approximately $29 million in interest-bearing deposits under a public fund contract added in the third quarter 2003 and approximately $45 million in interest- bearing deposits added through a deposit campaign from March 2004 through May 2004. Non-interest income, excluding gains on sales of securities, increased $115,196 due to an increase in fees and service charges resulting from a higher volume of demand deposit accounts. Non- interest expense increased $130,748 for the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003 primarily in salaries and benefits and occupancy expenses. Compared to first quarter 2004, second quarter 2004 net income increased $84,419 or 5%. Net interest income increased $40,544 and non-interest income increased $192,389. The increase in non-interest income resulted from increases in fees and service charges on deposit accounts of $120,000, $35,000 in safe deposit box rental income, and $22,000 in ATM and debit card processing fees. A decrease in the provision for loan losses of $40,000 also contributed to the increase in earnings, primarily due to a reduction in the Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALL") at Financial Services of the South ("FSS"), MidSouth's finance company subsidiary. The ALL was lowered at the finance company due to the minimal amount of loans remaining for liquidation at the subsidiary. Increased non-interest expenses including $107,000 in salaries and benefits, $27,000 in expenses on other real estate, $25,000 in armored car expenses, and $15,000 in ATM and debit card processing expenses partially offset the quarterly improvement in net interest and non-interest income. 10 For the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 2003, net income increased $472,622 or 16%. Net interest income improved $776,637 or 8% due to increased interest income on earning assets combined with a decrease in interest expense on deposits. An increase of $382,937 in fees and service charges on deposit accounts was partially offset by a $124,771 decrease in other non-interest income, categories, primarily income from the sale of credit life insurance and Visa merchant income. In the third quarter of 2003, MidSouth outsourced its Visa merchant processing to First Data Corporation. The resulting reduction in Visa merchant income is offset by a decrease in Visa merchant processing expenses that resulted from the processing change and is reflected in the $95,380 decrease in other non-interest expense in year-to-date comparison. Salaries and employee benefits increased $211,790 and occupancy expenses increased $100,044, offsetting the $95,380 decrease in other non-interest expense. Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2004 .. Return on average equity was 19.78% for the second quarter of 2004 compared to 22.15% for the second quarter of 2003. The leverage capital ratio was 8.65% at June 30, 2004 compared to 8.82% at June 30, 2003. .. Net income for 2004 is up 7.5% in quarterly comparison and 16% in year-to-date comparison over 2003 net income. .. Total loans grew $37.6 million or 16%, from $241.8 million at June 30, 2003 to $279.4 million at June 30, 2004, primarily in commercial loans. .. Nonperforming assets, including loans 90 days or more past due, as a percentage of total assets decreased slightly from .37% at June 30, 2003 to .36% at June 30, 2004. Year-to-date net charge-offs to total loans decreased from ..10% to .08% for the same periods, respectively. .. Total consolidated assets increased $75.1 million or 19%, from $402.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2003 to $477.3 million at the end of the second quarter of 2004. Total deposits increased $73 million or 20%, from $358.2 million at June 30, 2003 to $431.2 million at June 30, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from approximately $29 million in deposits associated with a public fund contract added in July of 2003 and approximately $50 million in deposits resulting from a deposit growth campaign that began in March 2004. The campaign introduced MidSouth's new Platinum Money Market account for both retail and commercial customers. Of the $50 million in deposits resulting from the campaign, approximately $34 million was deposited into the Platinum Money Market and other savings accounts at an average rate of 2.05%. .. MidSouth continues to work on expansion plans for the Louisiana market announced in the first quarter of 2004, with the new facility on Moss Street nearing completion and a closing expected soon on property in Houma. 11 Earnings Analysis Net Interest Income The primary source of earnings for MidSouth is net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and other liabilities. Changes in the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities combined with changes in market rates of interest greatly affect net interest income. The tables provided following management's discussion and analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyze the changes in taxable-equivalent net interest income for the two quarters and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004. Average earning assets increased 21%, or $74.6 million from $361.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $435.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, primarily due to deposits acquired through a public fund contract and through a deposit campaign. The mix of average earning assets shifted in quarterly comparison, as the influx of deposits outpaced loan production. Loans represented 66% of average earning assets in the second quarter of 2003 compared to 62% in the second quarter of 2004. Average loans increased $33.5 million, from $238.8 million in the second quarter of 2003 to $272.3 million in the second quarter of 2004. The average yield on loans decreased 75 basis points in quarterly comparison, from 8.24% to 7.49% at June 30, 2004. Loan yields declined due to lower offering rates and rate adjustments on other credits with scheduled repricing dates. Approximately 47% of MidSouth's loan portfolio earns a variable rate, with 32% adjusting with changes in the prime rate and another 15% adjusting on a scheduled repricing date. Approximately 53% of the loan portfolio earns a fixed rate of interest, the majority of which matures within three years. The mix of variable and fixed rate loans provides some protection to changes in market rates of interest. The impact of the decline in yield over the twelve months ended June 30, 2004 was offset by the $33.5 million average volume increase in the loan portfolio, resulting in a $161,919 increase in interest income on loans in quarterly comparison. Average investment securities increased $34.2 million, from $115.2 million at June 30, 2003 to $149.4 million at June 30, 2004. The investment portfolio represented 35% of average earning assets as of June 30, 2004, up from 32% in 2003. The increase resulted primarily from deposits under a public fund contract acquired in July of 2003 being placed in investment securities due to a lack of loan demand at that time. The average taxable-equivalent yield on investments decreased 15 basis points, from 4.15% in the second quarter of 2003 to 4.00% in the second quarter of 2004, primarily due to the low rate environment. Additionally, federal funds sold volume increased $6.9 million and yields declined 22 basis points, from 1.10% to ..88%. Increased volume offset decreased yields and resulted in an increase in taxable-equivalent interest income on securities and federal funds sold of $275,295 in quarterly comparison. 12 The average volume of interest-bearing deposits increased $61.2 million and resulted in a $115,314 increase in interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 11 basis points, from 1.48% at June 30, 2003 to 1.37% at June 30, 2004. Average noninterest-bearing deposits to average total deposits represented 23% of average total deposits at June 30, 2004, down from 26% at June 30, 2003. The decrease resulted primarily from growth in the Platinum Money Market product introduced during the deposit campaign in March 2004. The average yield on interest-bearing checking and money market accounts increased 23 basis points, from .81% at June 30, 2003 to 1.04% at June 30, 2004. The increase resulted from introductory rates offered on the Platinum Money Market accounts that averaged 2.05%. The net taxable-equivalent yield on average earning assets decreased 61 basis points, from 5.49% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 to 4.88% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. A review of the changes in volume and yields of average earning asset and interest-bearing liabilities between the two six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 reflected results similar to the quarterly comparison. The net taxable-equivalent yield on average earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased 54 basis points, from 5.55% at June 30, 2003 to 5.01% at June 30, 2004. Non-interest Income MidSouth's primary source of non-interest income, service charges on deposit accounts, increased $187,504 or 14% for the three months ended and $382,937 or 15% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in insufficient funds ("NSF") fees due to an increase in the number of checking accounts. The NSF per item processing fee did not increase and is on the lower end of fees charged by competitors in MidSouth's markets. Other non-interest income from charges and fees decreased $47,031 in quarterly comparison and $68,205 in year-to- date comparison, primarily due to decreases of $62,343 for the quarter and $126,632 for the year in Visa merchant income. In the third quarter of 2003, MidSouth outsourced its Visa merchant processing to First Data Corporation. The resulting reduction in Visa merchant income was almost entirely offset by decreases of $58,500 for the quarter and $116,862 for the year in Visa merchant processing expenses that resulted from the processing change. Further comparison reflected quarterly and year- to-date decreases in fee income from third party mortgage origination fees and third party investment advisory services that were partially offset by increases in ATM and debit card income, fee income from letters of credit and safe deposit box rental fees. Fee income from third party mortgage originations decreased due to a lower volume of refinancings. In 2003, the third party investment advisory service had offered a new investment product that stimulated sales and increased income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. Net gain on sales of securities totaled $2,350 for the quarter and year-to-date June 30, 2004. The gain resulted from the exercise of a call feature on a municipal security. Net gains on sales of securities were $92,935 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and $87,632 for year-to-date June 30,2003. The gains resulted primarily from the sale of a $3 million agency bond and $1 million corporate bond that were scheduled to mature in 2004, offset by a minimal loss recorded on the sale of a CMO during the first quarter of 2003. 13 Non-interest Expense Non-interest expense increased $103,748 or 3% and $216,454 or 2% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. Quarterly increases occurred primarily in the categories of salaries and employee benefits ($138,218) and occupancy expenses ($25,796). In quarterly comparison, decreases primarily in VISA merchant program, telephone and travel expenses exceeded increases in ATM and debit card processing and armored car expenses to net a quarterly decrease in Other expenses of $33,266. In year-to-date comparison, decreases primarily in Visa merchant program, telephone and travel expenses exceeded increases in ATM and debit card processing expenses, postage, and the cost of printing and supplies. The year-to- date decrease in Other expenses of $95,380 partially offset increases of $211,790 in salaries and benefits and $100,044 in occupancy expenses. Salaries increased primarily due to an increase in the number of full-time equivalent ("FTE") employees by 14, from 219 in June 2003 to 233 in June 2004. Occupancy expenses increased primarily due to increases in lease expense, ad valorem taxes and bank auto expenses. Analysis of Statement of Condition MidSouth ended the second quarter of 2004 with consolidated assets of $477.4 million, an increase of $44.7 million or 10% from the $432.7 million reported for December 31, 2003. Deposits increased $56.8 million or 15%, from $374.4 million at December 31, 2003 to $431.2 million at June 30, 2004. During the months of March, April and May of 2004, MidSouth held a deposit campaign that resulted in approximately $50 million in new deposits. The campaign introduced MidSouth's new Platinum Money Market account for both retail and commercial customers, paying an average rate of 2.05%. Net loans increased $17.5 million from $261.9 million at December 31, 2003 to $279.4 at June 30, 2004. The majority of the $17.5 million growth in net loans was funded during the second quarter of 2004 and was primarily commercial credits. Securities available-for-sale increased $14.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, as purchases of $31.4 million in securities available- for-sale were partially offset by maturities and calls totaling $14.5 million. A shift occurred in the value of the securities available-for-sale portfolio at June 30, 2004, resulting in a net unrealized loss, net of unrealized gains and tax effect, of $340,522, compared to a net unrealized gain of $891,374 at December 31, 2003. A spike in rates that impacted pricing of the portfolio at the quarter-ended June 30, 2004 and purchases made with cash flows from the public fund contract and deposit campaign during the low rate environment contributed to the shift in market value of the available-for-sale portfolio. These amounts result from interest rate fluctuations and do not represent permanent adjustments of value. Moreover, classification of securities as available-for-sale does not necessarily indicate that the securities will be sold prior to maturity. Overnight and short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") totaling $12.5 million at December 31, 2003 were paid out during the first quarter of 2004. 14 Liquidity Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet contractual obligations as they become due and to fund operations. The Bank's primary liquidity needs involve its ability to accommodate customers' demands for deposit withdrawals as well as their requests for credit. Liquidity is deemed adequate when sufficient cash to meet these needs can be promptly raised at a reasonable cost to the Bank. Liquidity is provided primarily by three sources: a stable base of funding sources, an adequate level of assets that can be readily converted into cash, and borrowing lines with correspondent banks. MidSouth's core deposits are its most stable and important source of funding. Further, the low variability of the core deposit base lessens the need for liquidity. Cash deposits at other banks, federal funds sold and principal payments received on loans and mortgage- backed securities provide additional primary sources of asset liquidity for the Bank. Cash flows from other investment securities provide an additional source of liquidity. MidSouth also has significant borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Dallas, Texas and borrowing lines with other correspondent banks. At the parent company level, cash is needed primarily to meet interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures and pay dividends on common stock. The parent company issued $7,000,000 in junior subordinated debentures in February 2001. Interest-bearing balances remaining from the proceeds from the issuance of the debentures and dividends from the Bank provide liquidity for the parent company. As a publicly traded company, MidSouth also has the ability to issue additional trust preferred and other securities instruments to provide funds as needed for operations and future growth of the company. A $6 million issuance of junior subordinated debentures is planned for the third quarter of 2004 to partially fund the Lamar Bancshares, Inc. acquisition. Capital MidSouth's leverage ratio was 8.65% at June 30, 2004 compared to 8.85% at December 31, 2003. Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.85% and total capital to risk- weighted assets was 13.80% at the end of the second quarter of 2004. At year-end 2003, Tier 1 capital to risk- weighted assets was 12.82% and total capital to risk- weighted assets was 13.78%. In November of 2002, MidSouth announced a repurchase program in which the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 5% of the outstanding shares of MidSouth's common stock. No shares were repurchased during the first quarter of 2004. During the second quarter of 2004, MidSouth repurchased 18,309 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $356,920. Asset Quality Credit Risk Management MidSouth manages its credit risk by observing written, board approved policies which govern all underwriting activities. The risk management program requires that each individual loan officer review his or her portfolio on a quarterly basis and assign recommended credit ratings on each loan. These efforts are supplemented by independent reviews performed by the loan review officer and other validations performed by the internal audit department. Bank concentrations are monitored and reported to the Board of Directors quarterly whereby individual customer and aggregate industry leverage, profitability, risk rating distributions, and liquidity are evaluated for each major standard industry classification segment. At June 30, 2004, MidSouth had no industry segment concentrations that aggregated more than 10% of the loan portfolio. 15 Nonperforming Assets The following table summarizes MidSouth's nonperforming assets for the quarters ending June 30, 2004 and 2003 and March 31, 2004 and for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Specific reserves have been established in the ALL to cover probable losses on nonperforming assets. The ALL is analyzed quarterly and additional reserves, if needed, are allocated at that time. Management believes the $2,974,175 in the allowance as of June 30, 2004 is sufficient to cover probable losses in nonperforming assets and in the loan portfolio. Loans classified for regulatory purposes but not included in the table above do not represent material credits about which management has serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with loan repayment terms. 16 Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The consolidated financial statements of MidSouth and notes thereto, presented herein, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of MidSouth's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of MidSouth are financial. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on MidSouth's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. Critical Accounting Policies Certain critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. MidSouth's single most critical accounting policy relates to its allowance for loan losses, which reflects the estimated losses resulting from the inability of its borrowers to make loan payments. If the financial condition of its borrowers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, its estimates would be updated and additional provisions for loan losses may be required. Reference is made to Managements' Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation included in MidSouth's Annual Report on Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003 ("Annual Report") for a more detailed discussion of its policy with respect to the allowance for loan losses. Other accounting policies integral to understanding the financial results reported are described in detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report. 17 Consolidated Average Balances, Interest and Rates Taxable-equivalent basis (2) (in thousands) Three Months Ended Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 June 30, 2003 _____________________________________________________________ Average Average Average Average Volume Interest Yield/Rate Volume Interest Yield/Rate _____________________________________________________________ ASSETS Investment Securities <FN1> Taxable $84,765 $678 3.22% $66,499 $500 3.02% Tax Exempt <FN2> 64,629 807 5.02% 48,677 692 5.70% ___________________ __________________ Total Investments 149,394 1,485 4.00% 115,176 1,192 4.15% Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell 14,277 32 0.88% 7,329 20 1.10% Loans <FN3> Commercial and Real Estate 228,548 3,990 7.02% 202,905 3,832 7.60% Installment 43,718 1,077 9.91% 35,858 1,073 12.00% ___________________ __________________ Total Loans 272,266 5,067 7.49% 238,763 4,905 8.24% Total Earning Assets 435,937 6,584 6.07% 361,268 6,117 6.79% Allowance for Loan Losses (2,839) (2,776) Nonearning Assets 34,285 34,968 __________ __________ Total Assets $467,383 $393,460 ========== ========== LIABILITIES AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY NOW, Money Market, and Savings $214,162 $552 1.04% $154,979 $312 0.81% Certificates of Deposits 107,846 543 2.03% 105,781 650 2.47% ___________________ ___________________ Total Interest Bearing Deposi 322,008 1,095 1.37% 260,760 962 1.48% Federal Funds Purchased, Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase 4,937 14 1.15% 5,277 17 1.26% Notes Payable 448 1 0.54% Junior Subordinated Debenture 7,000 184 10.20% 7,000 189 10.20% ___________________ ___________________ Total Interest Bearing Liabilities 333,945 1,293 1.56% 273,485 1,169 1.96% Demand Deposits 96,727 89,401 Other Liabilities 1,226 1,171 Stockholders' Equity 35,485 29,403 __________ __________ Total Liabilites and Stockholders' Equity $467,383 $393,460 ========== ========== NET TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT INTEREST INCOME AND SPREAD $5,291 4.52% $4,948 5.08% NET TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD ON EARNING ASSETS 4.88% 5.49% <FN1>Securities classified as available-for-sale are included in average balances and interest income figures reflect interest earned on such securities. <FN2>Interest income of $234,000 for 2004 and $205,000 for 2003 is added to interest earned on tax-exempt obligations to reflect tax equivalent yields using a 34% tax rate. <FN3>Interest income includes loan fees of $479,000 for 2004 and $459,000 for 2003.

Part I. Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk In the normal course of conducting business, MidSouth is exposed to market risk, principally interest rate risk, through operation of its subsidiaries. Interest rate risk arises from market fluctuations in interest rates that affect cash flows, income, expense and values of financial instruments. The Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") is responsible for managing MidSouth's interest rate risk position in compliance with policy approved by the Board of Directors. 19 Part I. Item 4. Controls and Procedures MidSouth's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, MidSouth's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been any significant changes in MidSouth's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such controls. Part II.
