STATEMENT BY MANAGEMENT CONCERNING THE REVIEW OF UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. ("MidSouth") and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2004 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the periods presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in MidSouth's 2003 annual report and Form 10KSB. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. MidSouth applies the Accounting Practices Board (APB) Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. MidSouth has adopted the disclosure-only option under SFAS No. 123. Had compensation costs for MidSouth's stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant date, consistent with the method under SFAS No. 123, MidSouth's net income and earnings per share would have been as indicated below:

3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income (losses) which, in the case of MidSouth, only includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale. Following is a summary of MidSouth's comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.

7 compared to 8.78% at March 31, 2003. . Net interest income totaled $5,033,439 for the first quarter of 2004, up 10% from the $4,587,203 reported for the first quarter 2003. Net interest income increased primarily due to an increase in the average volume of earning assets combined with a decrease in interest expense. . Total loans grew $27.6 million or 12%, from $236.6 million at March 31, 2003 to $264.2 million at March 31, 2004, primarily in commercial and real estate loans. . Nonperforming assets, including loans 90 days or more past due, as a percentage of total assets decreased slightly from .37% at March 31, 2003 to .35% at March 31, 2004. Net charge-offs to total loans decreased from .06% to .04% for the same periods, respectively. . Total consolidated assets increased $64.0 million or 16%, from $390.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2003 to $454.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2004. . Total deposits increased $58.2 million or 17%, from $349.3 million at March 31, 2003 to $407.5 million at March 31, 2004. The increase resulted primarily from approximately $30 million in deposits associated with a public fund contract added in July of 2003 and approximately $10 million in deposits resulting from a deposit incentive campaign introduced in March 2004. 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 below analyze the changes in taxable-equivalent net interest income for the two quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2004. Average earning assets increased 18%, or $61.8 million from $346.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $408.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The average yield on earning assets decreased 84 basis points, from 7.08% in the first quarter of 2003 to 6.24% in the first quarter of 2004. The mix of average earning assets changed slightly, as loans represented 64% of average earning assets in the first quarter of 2004 compared to 67% in the first quarter of 2003. The change in mix resulted primarily from investing the majority of funds received from a public fund contract in the third quarter of 2003 into investments instead of loans. Approximately $30 million in contracted funds were deposited on July 1, 2003 and will be under contract for two years. Average loans increased $29.3 million, from $231.3 million in the first quarter of 2003 to $260.6 million in the first quarter of 2004. The average yield on loans decreased 69 basis points in quarterly comparison, from 8.30% to 7.61% at March 31, 2004. Loan yields declined primarily due to lower rates offered on new fundings combined with rate adjustments on other credits with scheduled repricing dates. The impact of the decline in yield was offset by the $29.3 million average volume increase in the loan portfolio, resulting in a $210,127 increase in interest income on loans. 9 >

Interest income of $222,000 for 2004 and $169,000 for 2003 is added to interest earned on tax-exempt obligations to reflect tax equivalent yields using a 34% tax rate. Interest income includes loan fees of $452,000 for 2004 and $416,000 for 2003. Nonaccrual loans are included in average balances and income on such loans is recognized on a cash basis. 10

NOTE: Changes due to both volume and rate has generally been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts to the changes in each. 11 Average investments increased $26.9 million, from $111.4 million at March 31, 2003 to $138.3 million at March 31, 2004 primarily due to funds deposited under the public fund contract mentioned above. The average taxable- equivalent yield on investments decreased 73 basis points, from 4.76% in the first quarter of 2003 to 4.03% in the first quarter of 2004, primarily due to the low rate environment. Additionally, federal funds sold volume increased $5.6 million and yields declined 26 basis points, from 1.13% to .87%. The volume increases in investments and federal funds sold offset the impact of declining yields and added $90,665 to taxable-equivalent interest income in quarterly comparison. A 52 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits, mostly offset by an average volume increase of $43.8 million, resulted in a $177,750 decrease in interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased from 1.74% at March 31, 2003 to 1.22% at March 31, 2004. The percentage of average noninterest- bearing deposits to average total deposits decreased slightly from 26% to 24% in quarterly comparison due primarily to the high volume of interest-bearing deposits added under a public fund contract in the third quarter of 2003. The impact of these changes in the yields and volume of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities contributed $469,699 to the quarterly increase in taxable-equivalent net interest income. The net taxable-equivalent yield on average earning assets decreased 44 basis points, from 5.60% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to 5.16% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Non-interest Income MidSouth's primary source of non-interest income, service charges on deposit accounts, increased $195,433 or 16% for the three months ended March 31, 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 from 29,862 at March 31, 2003 to 32,568 at March 31, 2004. The service charge structure and the NSF per item processing fee did not change over the past twelve months and are on the lower end of fees charged by competitors in MidSouth's markets. Other non-interest income categories recorded decreases in quarterly comparison. Income from the sale of credit life insurance decreased $31,000 in quarterly comparison. Income from MidSouth's VISA merchant program decreased $64,000 in quarterly comparison, but was partially offset by a $32,000 increase in debit card interchange income and a $12,000 increase in income from a third party investment advisory service. In 2003, MidSouth made the decision to outsource its VISA merchant program. Although income from the program decreased $64,000 in the first quarter of 2003, expenses associated with the program also decreased $58,000, resulting a net decrease in income from the program of only $6,000 for the quarter. 12 Non-interest Expense Non-interest expense increased $85,706 or 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. Increases of $74,000 in salaries and employee benefits and $74,000 in occupancy expenses were partially offset by the $58,000 decrease in VISA merchant program expenses. Salaries increased $123,000 in quarterly comparison, however the increase was partially offset by a significant decrease in expenses associated with group health insurance of $83,000. The cost of other benefits, including workers compensation premiums and taxes, increased $34,000. The number of full-time equivalent ("FTE") employees increased by 4 from 217 in March 2003 to 221 in March 2004. Occupancy expenses increased $74,000 primarily due to increased depreciation, maintenance and lease expenses on buildings, equipment and land ($28,000) and increases in depreciation of data processing hardware and the cost of communication lines ($17,000), ad valorem taxes ($15,000) and bank auto expenses ($13,000). Analysis of Statement of Condition MidSouth ended the first quarter of 2004 with consolidated assets of $454.9 million, an increase of $22.2 million from the $432.7 million reported at December 31, 2003. Deposits increased $33.1 million, from $374.4 million at December 31, 2003 to $407.5 million at March 31, 2004. The increase in deposits resulted primarily from a deposit incentive campaign introduced in March 2004 and from additional public funds deposits. Total loans increased $2.3 million, from $261.9 million at December 31, 2003 to $264.2 million at March 31, 2004. Loan demand dropped off in the first quarter of 2004, following a strong fourth quarter of 2003 with loan growth of $15 million. The soft loan demand combined with a lack of attractive investment alternatives resulted in a high volume of federal funds sold as of March 31, 2004. Securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity showed little change in the first quarter of 2004 as purchases of $6.8 million in securities available-for-sale were offset by maturities and calls totaling $6.7 million. Unrealized gains in the securities available-for-sale portfolio, net of unrealized losses and tax effect, were $1,240,905 at March 31, 2004, compared to a net unrealized gain of $891,374 at December 31, 2003. 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. Liquidity Liquidity is the availability of funds to meet contractual obligations as they become due and to fund operations. The Banks'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 borrowiing 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. Capital MidSouth's leverage ratio was 8.96% at March 31, 2004 compared to 8.85% at December 31, 2003. Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.96% and total capital to risk- weighted assets was 13.93% at the end of the first quarter of 2004. At year-end 2003, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted 13 assets was 12.82% and total capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.78%. MidSouth's capital ratios are well above regulatory requirements and management is not aware of any recommendations by any regulatory authority, which, if implemented, would have a material impact on capital. 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. 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 March 31, 2004, MidSouth had no industry segment concentrations that aggregates more than 10% of the loan portfolio. Nonperforming Assets The following table summarizes MidSouth's nonperforming assets for the two quarters ending March 31, 2004 and 2003 and for the year ended December 31, 2003.

14 Nonperforming assets, including loans past due 90 days and over, totaled $1,594,000 as of March 31, 2004, an increase of $137,000 from the $1,457,00 reported for March 31, 2003 and an increase of $44,000 from the $1,550,000 reported for 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 $2,906,598 in the allowance as of March 31, 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. 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. 15 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. 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 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. 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. 16 Part II.

Defaults Upon Senior Securities None. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders None. Item 5. Other Information None. Part II. Item 6.
