Item 12.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition (Filed pursuant to
          Item 9)

The  following  information  is  being  provided  under  Item  12 -  Results  of
Operations and Financial  Condition.  It is being furnished under Item 9 of this
Form 8-K in accordance  with interim  guidance  issued by the SEC in release No.
33-8216.  Such information,  including the Exhibit attached hereto, shall not be
deemed  "filed" for  purposes of Section 18 of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of
1934.

On April 15, 2003,  Trustmark  Corporation issued a press release announcing its
financial  results for the period  ended March 31, 2003.  This press  release is
attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

Included  in  Note  2 to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Information  is  certain
information  that  has been  prepared  in  accordance  with  Generally  Accepted
Accounting  Principles,  except that the financial  effects of Trustmark's early
retirement  program  during the first  quarter have been  excluded  (net income,
earnings  per  share and  selected  financial  ratios).  We have  provided  this
information because Management believes it is useful for investors to be able to
evaluate  the impact of this  one-time  charge on these line items,  and thus be
able to compare these results to prior periods on a consistent basis.
