4.  STOCK DIVIDEND

    On August 29, 2003, MidSouth paid a 10% stock dividend to

5.  STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

    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:

Part 1. Item 2.
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 earned net income of $1,734,567, a 40% increase
over the $1,241,673 for the third quarter of 2002 and a 7%
increase over the second quarter 2003 earnings of
$1,624,141.  Basic earnings per share were $.55 for the
quarter ended September 30, 2003, a significant increase
from the $.39 per share reported for the third quarter of
2002, and up four cents ($.04) from the $.51 per share
reported for the second quarter of 2003.  Diluted earnings
per share were $.52 for the third quarter of 2003 compared
to $.38 per share for the third quarter of 2002 and $.49 for
the second quarter of 2003.  On August 29, 2003, MidSouth
paid a 10% stock dividend on its common stock to holders
of record on July 31, 2003.  Earnings per common share
data have been adjusted accordingly.

Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2003
were $4,668,260, a $1,521,211 or a 48% increase over the
$3,147,049 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
 Basic earnings per share were $1.47 for the first nine
months of 2003 compared to $.99 for the first nine months
of 2002.  Diluted earnings per share were $1.41 and $.97,
respectively.

Earnings improved in quarterly and year-to-date
comparison primarily due to an increase in net interest
income, attributed primarily to a significant decline in
interest expense combined with a slight increase in the
volume of earning assets.  A substantial decrease in the
provision for loan losses and an increase in non-interest
income also contributed to the improvement in earnings.  In
quarterly comparison, the increase in non-interest income
had an impact to earnings comparable to the decrease in the
provision for loan losses.  In year-to-date comparison, the
increase in non-interest income had a greater impact on
earnings than the decrease in the provision for loan losses.

Net interest income increased $523,439 or 11% in quarterly
comparison and $1,475,008 or 11% in year-to-date
comparison.  Non-interest income, excluding net gains on
sales of securities recorded in 2003, increased $152,712 or
8% in quarterly comparison and $645,490 or 13% in year-
to-date comparison.  Non-interest income increased
primarily due to increases in service charges on deposit
accounts, income from third party mortgage loan
originations and third party investment advisory services,
and VISA debit card and ATM processing fees.  The
provision for loan losses decreased $179,250 for the third
quarter and $573,250 for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 from the amounts in the comparable periods of
2002.

The increases in net interest and non-interest income for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 combined
with the decrease in the provision for loan losses were
partially offset by increases of $190,669 and $665,432,
respectively, in non-interest expenses, primarily salaries
and employee benefits, occupancy expense and marketing
expense.

Total consolidated assets increased $37.2 million or 10%,
from $382.7 million at December 31, 2002 to $419.9
million at September 30, 2003.  Deposits grew $30.6
million or 9%, from $343.5 million at December 31, 2002

                           1


<PAGE>

to $374.1 million at September 30, 2003.  The increase in
deposits resulted primarily from deposits associated with a
public funds contract.  The funds were deposited on July 1,
2003 and averaged $26.9 million for the third quarter of
2003.

Loans, net of Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALL"),
increased $19.7 million or 9%, from $224.1 million at
December 31, 2002 to $243.8 million at September 30,
2003.  Nonperforming assets, including loans past due
ninety days and over, as a percentage of total assets
decreased from .60% at September 30, 2002, to .46% at
December 31, 2002 and to .34% at September 30, 2003.
The ALL represented 213% of nonperforming assets at
September 30, 2003 compared to 165% at December 31,
2002 and 132% at September 30, 2002.  Loans past due
ninety days and over decreased significantly from
$1,275,233 at September 30, 2002 to $818,727 at
December 31, 2002 and to $489,379 at September 30,
2003.

MidSouth's leverage ratio was 8.51% at September 30,
2003 compared to 8.24% at September 30, 2002.  Return on
average equity for the third quarter of 2003 was 21.90%
compared to 18.92% for the third quarter of 2002.

Earnings Analysis

Net Interest Income

Average earning assets increased 14%, or $48.6 million
from $345.3 million for the three months ended September
30, 2002 to $393.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2003.  The mix of average earning assets
shifted in quarterly comparison, as loans represented 62%
of average earning assets in the third quarter of 2003
compared to 67% in the third quarter of 2002. The shift
resulted primarily from investing the majority of funds
received from a public funds contract in the third
quarter of 2003 into investment securities instead of
loans.  Approximately $30 million in contracted funds
were deposited on July 1, 2003 and will be under contract
for a period of two years.  Average loans increased
$14.0 million, from $230.9 million in the third
quarter of 2002 to $244.9 million in the third quarter
of 2003.  The average yield on loans decreased 22 basis
points in quarterly comparison, from 8.59% to 8.37% at
September 30, 2003.  Loan yields declined primarily due to
a 50 basis point decrease in New York prime in November
of 2002, combined with rate the adjustments on other
credits with scheduled repricing dates.

Approximately 43% of MidSouth's loan portfolio earns a
variable rate of interest, with 29% adjusting with changes in
the prime rate and another 14% adjusting on a scheduled
repricing date.  Approximately 57% 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.  However, the average yield on loans will continue
to drop as fixed rate loans mature and reprice unless market
rates begin to rise.  The impact of the decline in yield over
the twelve months ended September 30, 2003 was offset by
the $14.0 million average volume increase in the loan
portfolio, resulting in a $165,334 increase in interest
income on loans in quarterly comparison.

Average investments increased $31.2 million, from $105.2
million at September 30, 2002 to $136.4 million at
September 30, 2003 and represented 38% of average
earning assets.  The increase in volume resulted primarily
from the investment of $26.9 million in average deposits

                           2

<PAGE>

added in the third quarter of 2003 from the public funds
contract.  The average taxable-equivalent yield on
investments decreased 170 basis points, from 5.32% in
the third quarter of 2002 to 3.62% in the third quarter
of 2003, primarily due to the low rate environment and
high prepayment speeds on mortgage-backed securities.
Additionally, federal funds sold volume increased
$3.3 million and the yield declined 56 basis points,
from 1.42% to .86%.  Decreased yields offset the
volume increase in investments and resulted in a decrease
in interest income on securities and federal funds sold of
$151,490 in quarterly comparison.

A 94 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on
interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an average
volume increase of  $34.0 million, contributed to a
$501,001 decrease in interest expense for the quarter ended
September 30, 2003 compared to the quarter ended
September 30, 2002.  The average rate paid on interest-
bearing deposits decreased from 2.25% at September 30,
2002 to 1.31% at September 30, 2003.

The percentage of average non-interest-bearing deposits to
average total deposits declined only 1%, from 24% to 23%
in quarterly comparison, despite the addition of $26.9
million in average interest-bearing deposits in the third
quarter of 2003 from the public fund contract.  A decline in
the average volume of certificates of deposits offset the
impact of the interest-bearing public fund deposits, thereby
resulting in little change to the mix of non-interest bearing
and interest-bearing deposits.  The impact of these changes
in the yields and volume of interest-bearing liabilities
significantly contributed to the $523,439 quarterly increase
in net interest income.

The impact of the changes in volume and yield of average
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a
decrease in the net taxable-equivalent yield on average
earning assets of 17 basis points, from 5.49% for the
quarter ended September 30, 2002 to 5.32% for the quarter
ended September 30, 2003.  However, the taxable-
equivalent net interest spread reflected a 3 basis point
increase, from 4.96% at September 30, 2002 to 4.99% at
September 30, 2003.

Year-to-date comparison for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2002 and 2003 reflected a 69 basis point
decline in the yield on average earning assets, from 7.48%
to 6.79%, respectively.  The average rate paid on interest-
bearing liabilities also declined by 97 basis points, from
2.68% at September 30, 2002 to 1.71% at September 30,
2003.  The mix of average earning assets shifted only
slightly in year-to-date comparison and the deposit mix
remained constant.  The net taxable-equivalent yield on
average earning assets for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 increased 7 basis points, from 5.41% at
September 30, 2002 to 5.48% at September 30, 2003.  The
taxable-equivalent net interest spread increased 28 basis
points, from 4.80% at September 30, 2002 to 5.08% at
September 30, 2003.

Non-interest Income

MidSouth's primary source of non-interest income, service
charges on deposit accounts, increased $135,537 or 11% for
the three months ended and $445,101 or 13% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same
period in 2002.  The increase resulted primarily from an


                           3

<PAGE>


increase in insufficient funds ("NSF") fees due to an
increase in the number of checking accounts from 28,417 at
September 30, 2002 to 30,718 at September 30, 2003 and
an increase in the number of accounts that had an NSF
occurrence.  The average number of NSF's per account per
month remained relatively constant at an average of 2.38
per month in 2002 and an average of 2.35 per month in
2003.  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 $45,750 in quarterly
comparison and $273,797 in year-to-date comparison,
primarily due to increases in lease income from a third-
party investment advisory service, third-party mortgage
processing fees and VISA debit card and ATM processing
fees.  Third-party mortgage processing fees increased
primarily due to continued refinancing activity. The
improvement in ATM 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 the
processing cost per transaction and to retain a larger share
of the interchange revenue.  Beginning August 1, 2003,
income from VISA debit card and ATM processing will be
affected by a reduction in interchange revenue due to a
lawsuit settlement between VISA and Walmart.  However,
the cost savings of processing in-house is expected to
exceed the reduction in interchange revenue in the current
year.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased  $190,669 or 4% and
$665,432 or 5% for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2002, respectively.   Increases
were recorded primarily in the categories of salaries and
employee benefits, occupancy and marketing expenses.

Salaries and benefits costs increased $97,677 in quarterly
comparison and $378,231 in year-to-date comparison
primarily due to an increase in the number of full-time
equivalent ("FTE") employees by 10, from 208 in
September 2002 to 218 in September 2003.   New hires
over the past twelve months included a senior level credit
administrator, an information services analyst, and a call
center manager.  In addition, group health insurance costs
increased $32,490 in quarterly comparison and $61,364 in
year-to date comparison.

Occupancy expenses increased $15,164 in quarterly
comparison and $117,441 in year-to-date comparison
primarily due to increases in leasehold depreciation
expense, ad valorem tax expense and utilities costs.
Leasehold depreciation expense increased due to $86,814 in
leasehold improvements made at MidSouth's main office
and Pinhook office over the past twelve months.  The
accrual for ad valorem taxes increased due to anticipated
increases in property values and bank capital.

Marketing expenses increased $45,524 and $160,838 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003
compared to the three and nine months ended September
30, 2002, respectively.  The increase resulted primarily
from bank sponsorships for trade shows and a radio
advertising campaign.

Balance Sheet Analysis

MidSouth ended the third quarter of 2003 with consolidated
assets of $419.9 million, an increase of $37.2 million from
the $382.7 million reported for December 31, 2002.
Deposits increased $30.6 million, from $343.5 million at
December 31, 2002 to $374.1 million at September 30,
2003.  The increase resulted primarily from interest-bearing
deposits received on July 1, 2003 through a two-year public
funds contract.  Balances deposited as a result of the
contract averaged $26.9 million for the third quarter of
2003.  Non-interest bearing deposits declined $5.5 million
or 6%, from $94.4 million at December 31, 2002 to $88.9
million at September 30, 2003.  The decline resulted
primarily from fluctuations in commercial deposit balances.

Net loans increased $19.7 million from $224.1 million at
December 31, 2002 to $243.8 million at September 30,
2003.  The majority of the $19.6 million growth in net
loans resulted primarily from the addition of $10.7 million
in commercial real estate loans and $8.1 million in
commercial and agricultural loans.

Securities available-for-sale increased $26.3 million in the
nine months ended September 30, 2003, as purchases of
$69.1 million in securities available-for-sale were partially
offset by maturities, calls, and paydowns totaling $35.2
million and sales of $6.5 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 $952,517 at September 30, 2003,
compared to a net unrealized gain of $1,191,500 at
December 31, 2002.  The changes in 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 8.51% at September 30,
2003 compared to 8.45% at December 31, 2002.  Tier 1
capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.92% and total capital
to risk-weighted assets was 14.00% at the end of the third
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.  An additional 2,500 shares
were repurchased during the second quarter of 2003 at a
total cost of $44,895.  On August 29, 2003, MidSouth paid
a 10% stock dividend on its common stock to holders of
record on July 31, 2003.  All earnings per share information
have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to this stock
dividend.

Nonperforming assets, including loans past due 90 days and
over, decreased 38% over the past twelve months, from
$2,284,854 at September 30, 2002 to $1,749,135 at
December 31, 2002 and to $1,426,576 at September 30,
2003.  The decrease resulted primarily from a reduction in
loans past due 90 days and over.  The volume of
nonaccruals and other real estate and assets owned reflected
little change.  Specific reserves have been established in the
ALL to cover probable losses on nonperforming loans.
The ALL is analyzed quarterly and additional reserves, if
needed, are allocated at that time.  Management believes
the $3,032,042 in the allowance as of September 30, 2003
is sufficient to cover probable losses 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.

Part I. Item 3.  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.
