4.  On June 21, 2002 MidSouth acquired the Morgan City, Louisiana
    branch of IberiaBank for an amount which was approximately
    $500,00 in excess of book value of those assets on IberiaBank's
    books.  The purchase included, among other things, approximately
    $6.0 million of cash, $5.4 million of loans, and the assumption of
    $12.2 million of deposits.  MidSouth is presently evaluating
    the assets purcahsed and liabilities assumed, and expects to
    complete that evaluation by December 31, 2002.  It is presently
    extimated that any intangible associated with this acquisition
    will relate to core deposit intangibles and will be amortized
    over approximately 8 - 10 years on an accelerated basis.





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 2001 annual consolidated
financial statements, the notes thereto and the related
Management's Discussion and Analysis.

MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. recorded net income of $1,087,245
for the second quarter of 2002, a 131% increase from net
income of $469,837 for the second quarter of 2001.
Second quarter 2001 earnings reflected a net after tax
charge of $500,000 for the default and charge-off of one
commercial loan.  Basic earnings per share were $.38 and
$.18 for the quarters ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively.  Diluted earnings per share were $.37 for the
second quarter of 2002 compared to $.16 for the second
quarter of 2001.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled
$1,905,376 compared to $1,265,014 for the six months
ended June 30, 2001.  Loan loss provisions decreased
$663,344 over the six months ended June 30, 2002.  Basic
earnings per share were $.66 and $.48 for the two six month
periods, respectively.  Diluted earnings per share were $.65
for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $.43
for the six months ended June 30, 2001.

MidSouth's net interest income continued to improve in
quarterly and year-to-date comparison due to improvement
in the net interest margin combined with a higher volume
of earning assets.  Net interest income increased 7%, or
$295,070 in quarterly comparison and 5% or $416,374 in
year-to-date comparison.  Non-interest income, excluding
net gains on sales of securities recorded in 2001, increased
26% or $339,244 in quarterly comparison and 26% or
$658,637 in year-to-date comparison, primarily due to
increased transaction volume on deposit accounts resulting
in increased service charge and insufficient funds fee
income.  Non-interest expense, primarily salaries, benefits
and occupancy expenses, increased 10% or $375,710 in
quarterly comparison and 10% or $749,842 in year-to-date
comparison.

Consolidated assets totaled $380.0 million at June 30,
2002, up 4% from $363.8 million at December 31, 2001
and 11% from $342.5 million at June 30, 2001.  Total
deposits increased $32.9 million over the past twelve
months, from $308.9 million at June 30, 2001 to $330.6
million at December 31, 2001 and to $341.8 million at June
30, 2002.  The increase included $12.2 million in deposits
from the purchase of IberiaBank's Morgan City branch.
The purchase was completed on June 21, 2002 and also
added $5.4 million to MidSouth's loan portfolio.

Loans, net of Allowance for Loan Losses ("ALL"),
increased $16.7 million or 8%, from $210.5 million in the
second quarter of 2001 to $227.2 million in the second
quarter of 2002.  Provisions for loan and lease losses
totaled $336,000 in the second quarter of 2002 compared to
$1,034,244 in the second quarter of 2001, and $694,000 in
the first six months of 2002 compared to $1,357,344 in the
first six months of 2001.  Provisions for the three and







six month period ended June 30, 2001 were substantially
higher due to an additional $700,000 allocated for the
default and charge-off of one commercial loan.

Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans
increased from .20% at June 30, 2001 to .36% at June 30,
2002.  Loans past due ninety days and over and still
accruing decreased from $854,216 at June 30, 2001 to
$716,639 at June 30, 2002.  Other real estate owned
decreased $234,977 for the same period to $108,752.  The
ALL represented 303.5% of nonperforming assets as of
June 30, 2002 compared to 314.5% as of June 30, 2001.

MidSouth's leverage ratio was 8.33% at June 30, 2002, up
from 7.80% at June 30, 2001.  Return on average common
equity for the quarter was 18.43% compared to 9.00% for
the second quarter of 2001.  Return on average assets was
1.21% for the second quarter of 2002 compared to .54% for
the second quarter of 2001.


EARNINGS ANALYSIS

Net Interest Income

Average earning assets increased $9.2 million, from $321.9
million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $331.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2002.  The mix
of earning assets shifted from 64% of average earning
assets in loans for the second quarter of 2001 up to 67% in
the second quarter of 2002.  The average yield on loans
decreased 164 basis points, from 10.33% to 8.69% for the
three months ended June 30, 2002.

Decreases in the prime lending rate and market competition
for quality credits lowered commercial and real estate loan
yields by 148 basis points in quarterly comparison.  The
average volume of the commercial and real estate portfolio
grew 8% or $13.3 million in quarterly comparison, from
$164.2 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2001 to
$177.5 million for the quarter ending June 30, 2002.
Consumer loan yields decreased 201 basis points primarily
due to falling interest rates and the average volume
increased slightly, from $42.0 million for the quarter
ending June 30, 2001 to $ 42.8 million for the quarter
ending June 30, 2002.

Investment volume increased by $5.8 million, from $100.5
million at June 30, 2001 to $106.3 million at June 30, 2002.
The volume of federal funds sold decreased $10.7 million
in quarterly comparison.  The average taxable-equivalent
yield on investments decreased 89 basis points, from 6.41%
at June 30, 2001 to 5.52% at June 30, 2002.

Lower yields in both loans and investments decreased the
taxable-equivalent yield on quarterly average earning assets
125 basis points, from 8.83% for the second quarter of
2001 to 7.58% for the second quarter of 2002.

Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $5.5 million in








quarterly comparison, from $244.2 million for the quarter
ending June 30, 2001 to $238.7 million for the quarter
ending June 30, 2002.  The decrease in average volume
resulted from a decline in certificates of deposits partially
offset by an increase in interest-bearing transaction and
money market deposits.  The rate paid on interest-bearing
deposits decreased 179 basis points for the same period,
from 4.26% to 2.47%.  Included in interest-bearing
liabilities is $7,000,000 in trust preferred securities
issued in February 2001.  The interest rate on the trust
preferred securities is 10.20% with interest payable semi-
annually.  The average rate paid on total interest-bearing
liabilities decreased 177 basis points, from 4.47% for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001 to 2.70% for the quarter ended
June 30, 2002.

The net effect of changes in the volume and mix of average
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a
23 basis point improvement in the net taxable-equivalent
yield on average earning assets, from 5.29% for the quarter
ended June 30, 2001 to 5.52% for the quarter ended June
30, 2002.  A review of the changes in the volume and
yields of average earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities between the two six month periods ended June
30, 2001 and 2002 reflected results similar to the quarterly
comparison.  The net taxable-equivalent yield on average
earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2002
increased 4 basis points from 5.33% at June 30, 2001 to
5.37% at June 30, 2002.  Volume increases in earning
assets resulted in an increase to net interest income of
$416,374 between the two six month periods.

Non-interest Income

MidSouth's primary source of non-interest income, service
charges on deposit accounts, increased $311,563 for the
three months and $593,914 for the six months ended June
30, 2002 as compared to the same periods for 2001.  The
increases were due primarily to a higher volume of
transactions on deposit accounts, which resulted in
increased insufficient funds fees.  Other non-interest
income, net of gains on sales of investment securities,
increased $27,671 in quarterly comparison and $64,723 in
year-to-date comparison.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased  $375,710 for the three
months and $749,842 for the six months ended June 30,
2002 compared to the three and six months ended June 30,
2001.   Increases were recorded primarily in the categories
of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expense,
printing and office supplies expenses, and professional fees.

Salaries and employee benefits increased primarily due to
additional staff and an increase in the cost of group health
insurance.  The number of full-time equivalent ("FTE")
employees increased by 12, from 197 in June 2001 to 209
in June 2002.  Staff additions over the past twelve months
included a compliance officer, two internal auditors and a
collateral documentation officer to enhance the risk
management and loan administration functions.

Occupancy expense increased in the three and six month







periods ended June 30, 2002 compared to the same period
of 2001 due to increases in lease expense, depreciation and
maintenance expenses on computer hardware and software
and property taxes.


Printing expenses increased primarily due to Bank-paid
check orders associated with MidSouth's Business Value
Checking and Select 50 programs.  Office supplies
increased due primarily to the completion of a new
facility in Jennings and new offices at MidSouth's main
office in Lafayette.  The increase in professional fees
resulted primarily from consulting fees associated with
a process and workflow review of MidSouth's retail,
lending and technology areas.


BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

MidSouth ended the second quarter of 2002 with
consolidated assets of $379,991,713, an increase of  $16.2
million from the $363,779,863 reported for December 31,
2001.  Deposits increased over the six months ended June
30, 2002 by $11.2 million, from $330,577,458 at December
31, 2001 to $341,799,739 due to the $12.2 million in
deposits acquired through the IberiaBank Morgan City
branch purchase on June 21, 2002.

Loans experienced growth of $15.7 million in the first six
months of 2002, $5.4 million of which was acquired
through the branch purchase.  Securities available-for-sale
increased by $6.6 milllion, from $99.4 million at December
31, 2001 to $106.0 million at June 30, 2002.  The increase
reflects purchases of $24.5 million offset by sales,
maturities and principal paydowns of $18.5 million. Net
unrealized gains in the securities available-for-sale
portfolio, net of tax effect, were $1,059,500 at June 30,
2002, compared to a net unrealized gain of $469,962 at
December 31, 2001.  These amounts result from interest
rate fluctuations and do not represent permanent adjustment
of value.  Moreover, classification of securities as
available-for-sale does not necessarily indicate that the
securities will be sold prior to maturity.

Capital

As of June 30, 2002, MidSouth's leverage ratio was 8.33%
as compared to 7.80% at December 31, 2001.  Tier 1 capital
to risk-weighted assets was 11.96% and total capital to risk-
weighted assets was 13.11% at the end of the second
quarter of 2002.  At year-end 2001, Tier 1 capital to risk-
weighted assets was 11.68% and total capital to risk-
weighted assets was 12.72%.  Included in the capital ratio
calculations is $7 million in Trust Preferred Securities
issued in February of 2001.  For regulatory purposes, these
funds qualify as Tier 1 capital.  For financial reporting
purposes, these funds are included as a liability under
generally accepted accounting principles.

  assets                       303.50%        201.77%    314.50%








Nonperforming assets were $940,961 as of June 30, 2002 a
decrease of  $187,128 from the $1,128,089 reported for
December 31, 2001 and an increase of $165,662 from the
$775,299 reported for June 30, 2001.   Loans past due 90
days or more decreased in June 2002 to $716,639 from
$999,538 in December 2001 and decreased from $854,216
as of June 30, 2001.

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 that the
$2,855,844 in the allowance as of June 30, 2002 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.
