MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION 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 2002 annual consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and the related Management's Discussion and Analysis. MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. announced net income of $1,309,552 for the first quarter of 2003, a 60% increase over net income of $818,131 reported for the first quarter of 2002. Basic earnings per share were $.45 for the quarter ending March 31, 2003 compared to $.28 for the quarter ending March 31, 2002. Diluted earnings per share were $.44 for the first quarter of 2003 and $.28 for the first quarter of 2002. Earnings improved in quarterly comparison primarily due to an increase of $582,716 or 15% in net interest income, attributed primarily to a decline in interest expense combined with an increase in the volume of earning assets. Non-interest income increased $210,490 or 14%, primarily from services charges on deposit accounts, fee income from third party mortgage loan originations, and income from Visa debit card and ATM processing fees. In addition, the provision for loan losses decreased $158,000, from $358,000 in the first quarter of 2002 to $200,000 in the first quarter of 2003. The increases in net interest and non- interest income for the quarter combined with the decrease in the provision for loan losses were partially offset by a $233,874 or 6% increase in non-interest expenses, primarily salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and data processing expenses. Total consolidated assets increased $30.3 million or 8%, from $360.6 million at March 31, 2002 to $390.9 million at March 31, 2003. Deposits grew $24.4 million or 8%, from $324.9 million at March 31, 2003 to $349.3 million at March 31, 2003. Loans, net of the Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALL"), increased $19.1 million or 9%, from $214.6 million in the first quarter of 2002 to $233.7 million in the first quarter of 2003. Provisions for loan and lease losses decreased to $200,000 in March 2003 compared to $358,000 in March 2002. Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans decreased from .45% in March of 2002 to .30% in March of 2003. The ALL represented 320% of nonperforming assets as of March 31, 2003 compared to 247% as of March 31, 2002. Loans past due ninety days and over also decreased in quarterly comparison, from $760,518 at March 31, 2002 to $534,556 at March 31, 2003. MidSouth's leverage ratio was 8.78% at March 31, 2003 compared to 8.29% at March 31, 2002. Return on average equity for the first quarter of 2003 was 18.76% compared to 14.27% for the first quarter of 2002. 1 Earnings Analysis Net Interest Income Average earning assets increased 6%, or $20.5 million from $326.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $346.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The mix of average earning assets improved slightly, as loans represented 67% of average earning assets in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 65% in the first quarter of 2002. Average loans increased $18.1 million, from $213.2 million in the first quarter of 2002 to $231.3 million in the first quarter of 2003. The average yield on loans decreased 41 basis points in quarterly comparison, from 8.71% to 8.30% at March 31, 2003. Loan yields declined primarily due to a 50 basis point decrease in New York prime in November of 2002, combined with rate adjustments on other credits with scheduled repricing dates. The impact of the decline in yield was offset by the $18.1 million average volume increase in the loan portfolio, resulting in a $153,675 increase in interest income on loans. Average investments increased $11.4 million, from $99.9 million at March 31, 2002 to $111.4 million at March 31, 2003. The average taxable-equivalent yield on investments decreased 77 basis points, from 5.53% in the first quarter of 2002 to 4.76% in the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to the low rate environment and high prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, federal funds sold volume decreased $9.0 million and yields declined 45 basis points, from 1.58% to 1.13%. Decreased yields offset the volume increase in investments and resulted in decreased interest income on securities and federal funds sold of $110,698 in quarterly comparison. A 96 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an average volume increase of $8.2 million, contributed to a $539,092 decrease in interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased from 2.70% at March 31, 2002 to 1.74% at March 31, 2003. The percentage of average noninterest- bearing deposits to average total deposits increased slightly from 25% to 26% in quarterly comparison. The impact of these changes in the yields and volume of interest-bearing liabilities significantly contributed to the $582,716 quarterly increase in net interest income. The net taxable- equivalent yield on average earning assets increased 39 basis points, from 5.21% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 to 5.60% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Non-interest Income MidSouth's primary source of non-interest income, service charges on deposit accounts, increased $132,240 or 12% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in insufficient funds ("NSF") fees due to an 2 increase in the number of checking accounts from 27,125 at March 31, 2002 to 29,485 at March 31, 2003. In addition, the average NSF income per deposit account increased 6%, from $28.47 to $30.15 due to an increase in the volume of NSF items processed. 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 increased $85,916 in quarterly comparison, primarily due to increased third-party mortgage processing fees ($45,000) and VISA debit card and ATM processing fees ($42,000). Third-party mortgage processing fees increased primarily due to continued refinancing activity. The improvement in electronic processing fees resulted from the elimination of a third party processor and establishing a direct connection to a regional switch. Bringing the processing in-house enabled MidSouth to reduce processing the cost per transaction and to retain a larger share of the interchange revenue. Non-interest Expense Non-interest expense increased $233,874 or 6% for the three months ended March 31, 2003 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002. Increases were recorded primarily in the categories of salaries and employee benefits and occupancy expenses. Salaries increased $110,593 in quarterly comparison primarily due to the addition of a senior level credit administrator and an information services analyst. The number of full-time equivalent ("FTE") employees increased by 7 from 210 in March 2002 to 217 in March 2003. In addition, group health insurance and other benefits costs increased $37,418 in quarterly comparison. Occupancy expenses increased $60,005 primarily due increases in depreciation of data processing hardware and software ($40,000) and ad valorem taxes ($24,000). Additional increases in land lease and fixed asset depreciation expenses were offset by decreases in maintenance costs associated with fixed assets and data processing hardware and software. Balance Sheet Analysis MidSouth ended the first quarter of 2003 with consolidated assets of $391.0 million, an increase of $8.3 million from the $382.7 million reported for December 31, 2002. Deposits increased $5.8 million, from $343.5 million at December 31, 2002 to $349.3 million at March 31, 2003. The increase in deposits resulted primarily from fluctuations in commercial deposit account balances. Net loans increased $9.5 million from $224.2 million at December 31, 2002 to $233.7 at March 31, 2003. The majority of the $9.5 million growth in net loans resulted from commercial real estate participations. Securities available-for-sale decreased $811,470 in the first quarter of 3 2003, as purchases of $9.0 million in securities available- for-sale were offset by maturities and calls totaling $8.2 million and sales of $1.3 million. Continued refinancing activity in mortgages resulted in increased paydowns on mortgage-backed securities. Unrealized gains in the securities available-for-sale portfolio, net of unrealized losses and tax effect, were $1,114,008 at March 31, 2003, compared to a net unrealized gain of $1,191,500 at December 31, 2002. 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. Capital MidSouth's leverage ratio was 8.78% at March 31, 2003 compared to 8.45% at December 31, 2002. Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.62% and total capital to risk- weighted assets was 13.75% at the end of the first quarter of 2003. At year-end 2002, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.57% and total capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.71%. During the first quarter of 2003, MidSouth repurchased 2,800 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $46,362. 4 Nonperforming Assets and Past Due Loans Table 1 summarizes MidSouth's nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans and nonperforming assets.

Loans past due 90 days or more increased slightly from $760,518 in March 2002 to $818,727 in December 2002 and decreased to $543,556 as of March 31, 2003. Of the $543,556 in loans past due 90 days or more at March 31, 2003, $154,351 were past due loans reported by the Finance Company. 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 $2,954,235 in the allowance as of March 31, 2003 is sufficient to cover probable losses in nonperforming assets and in the loan portfolio. Loans classified for regulatory purposes but not included in Table 1 do not represent material credits about which management has serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with loan repayment terms. 6 Page 15 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 a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, MidSouth's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to MidSouth (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in MidSouth's periodic filings under the Exchange Act. 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. Item 6.
