(the Company) is a bank holding company whose principal subsidiary is the First National Bank of Houma (First National). The Company and First National have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Whitney Holding Corporation and Whitney National Bank (collectively, "the Whitney") dated October 11, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which both the Company and First National have agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, to be acquired by the Whitney. NOTE 2: The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements have been omitted. It is suggested that these interim statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K of First National Bankshares, Inc. 	In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information shown have been included. 	The foregoing nine months interim results of 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year 1996. FIRST NATIONAL BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW 	First National Bankshares, Inc. (the Company) is a bank holding company based in Houma, Louisiana operating a single active wholly-owned subsidiary, First National Bank of Houma (First National or the Bank). The Company is also the sole owner of an inactive subsidiary, First Export Corporation. The Company's business strategy is to provide quality, tailored financial products and services to retail and commercial customers in the southern parishes of Louisiana. 	The Company and First National have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Whitney Holding Corporation ("Whitney Holding") and Whitney National Bank (collectively, "the Whitney") dated October 11, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which both the Company and First National have agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, to be acquired by the Whitney (the "Merger"). The value of the transaction is $41 million. In the Merger, each share of Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share, of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into approximately $20.32 per share in Whitney Holding common stock, subject to certain adjustments. Whitney Holding common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ-NMS, and the corporation is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and, in accordance therewith, files reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Merger is subject to numerous conditions precedent, including without limitation approval of the Company shareholders, and the Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances. Although the Company's Board of Directors is expected to recommend that the Company shareholders approve the Merger, there can be no assurance the Merger will be approved or consummated. A special meeting of the shareholders of the Company to vote upon the Merger is expected to be scheduled for the first quarter of 1997 (the "Special Meeting"), and attention is directed to the Proxy Statement - Prospectus that is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and delivered to the Company shareholders in advance of the Special Meeting for a complete description of the Merger, the Merger Agreement, the Special Meeting, and other matters related thereto. 	The following discussion and analysis of operations for the nine month period and quarter ending September 30, 1996 highlight the changes in financial position and results of operations of the Company. The financial position and results of operations for the periods indicated were primarily attributable to the Bank which comprises the substantial majority of the assets and liabilities of the Company. Management's discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this quarterly report. 	In late 1995, the Company discovered an error in the calculation of a reduction in the latter part of 1994 of the valuation allowance against the Company's deferred income tax asset. To correct the error, the Company restated its financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 1994, March 31, 1995, June 30, 1995, and September 30, 1995 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for those periods to reflect the restated financial statements. For a discussion of the impact of the restatement and for restated financial statements for those periods, refer to the amended periodic filings for those periods. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Interest Income 	The Company's primary source of revenue is net interest income which is the difference between interest income received on interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income after provision for possible loan losses was $6,354,000 in the first nine months of 1996, a 10.0 percent decrease over the same period in 1995. For the three month period ended September 30, 1996, net interest income after the provision for possible loan losses was $2,062,000, a 12.6 percent decrease over the same period in 1995. Net interest income was affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities referred to as "volume change." It was also affected by changes in yields on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and short-term borrowings referred to as "rate change." The decline in net interest income for both the three and nine month period ended September 30, 1996 from the net interest income of the same periods in 1995 was mainly attributable to increased competition for the Bank's market from larger financial and nonfinancial institutions. Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense 	Noninterest income increased $179,000 or 13.0 percent in the first nine months of 1996 and $119,000 or 25.7 percent in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to the same periods in 1995. These increases reflect increased service charges on deposit accounts, fees for trust services, commissions, exchange and other fees. 	Noninterest expense decreased $665,000 or 11.3 percent and $172,000 or 9.0 percent in the first nine months and third quarter, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1995. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in personnel costs, the result of an organizational restructuring process started in 1995, increased deferred personnel and other costs associated with the lending process, and a reduction in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance premiums, a result of a decision by the FDIC in 1995 to reduce premiums for all well capitalized insured financial institutions. Net Income 	Consolidated income before income taxes of $2,670,000 for the first nine months of 1996 increased $135,000, or 5.3 percent as compared to the same period in 1995 and decreased $5,000 or 0.6 percent to $898,000 for the third quarter as compared to the same period in 1995. Consolidated net income increased $85,000 or 5.1 percent to $1,768,000 for the same nine month period and $1,000 or 0.2 percent to $600,000 for the three month period, respectively. 	The total provision for income taxes for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 was $902,000 as compared to $852,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 and remained relatively constant as a percent of income before income taxes. BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS Loan Portfolio 	The Company offers a wide variety of lending products to both commercial and consumer customers located within its target market. The Company also purchases loans from other financial institutions both within and outside of the target market area to enhance earning-asset yields and diversify the total loan portfolio. Interest rates charged for loans made by the Company vary with the degree of risk, the size and maturity of loans, the borrower's depository relationships with the Company and prevailing market interest rates. During the first nine months of 1996, loans increased $11,236,000 or 10.2 percent from year-end 1995. Credit Risk Management and Asset Quality 	Nonperforming assets decreased $1,238,000 or 26.4 percent to $3,447,000 at September 30, 1996 as compared to December 31, 1995. The decrease was primarily attributable to reimbursement by a U.S. Government agency of their guaranteed portion of these loans. Shown below is a schedule of the Company's nonperforming assets (in thousands): 	09-30-96 	12-31-95 Loans: 	 	 90 days or more past due, but still accruing interest 	 $ 347 	 $ 66 Renegotiated loans still accruing 	 428 	479 Nonaccruing 	 1,716 	3,148 Total nonperforming loans 	 2,491 	3,693 Other real estate and foreclosed property (net of reserves) 956 	 992 Total nonperforming assets 	$3,447 	$4,685 	In addition to the nonperforming loans, the Company has identified certain loans which, although currently performing, have credit weaknesses such that doubt exists as to the borrower's future ability to comply with existing terms and conditions. At September 30, 1996 these loans totaled approximately $605,000. This represents an increase of $169,000 or 38.8 percent from the $436,000 balance on December 31, 1995. Allowance for Possible Loan Losses 	Based on information available at September 30, 1996, management believes the allowance for possible loan losses of $1,951,000, which comprised 1.6 percent of total loans, is adequate as an allowance against possible future loan losses. At September 30, 1996, the allowance for possible loan losses decreased $191,000 from the $2,142,000 recorded at December 31, 1995. This decrease was, in part, due to the net charge off of $219,000 of loans deemed uncollectible. 	During the third quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a $75,000 provision for possible loan losses. The provision was deemed appropriate by management due to the increasing volume of loans recorded by the Bank. The amount of provision for possible loan losses is dependent on a variety of factors, including size of the loan portfolio, actual or expected loan losses and recoveries of prior losses. Investment Securities 	At September 30, 1996, investment securities totaled $75,223,000, a $2,043,000 or 2.6 percent decrease over the $77,266,000 recorded at December 31, 1995. Securities classified available-for-sale decreased $2,266,000 or 3.4 percent while securities classified as held-to-maturity showed no significant change in carrying value. The decrease in securities primarily resulted from increased demand for liquidity to fund loan growth. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at market value with variances between market value and amortized cost recognized as an adjustment to shareholders' equity on an after-tax basis. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at book value. However, due to the transfer of securities between available-for-sale and held-to-maturity which occurred in 1994, certain unrealized losses (net of applicable income taxes) attributable to the held-to-maturity portfolio have been recorded in shareholders' equity as well. Net unrealized losses in securities at September 30, 1996 increased $357,000 as compared to December 31, 1995. Deposits 	The Company primarily attracts deposits from local businesses and professionals, or governmental bodies, and through retail certificates of deposit, savings and checking accounts. Maintaining steady and growing levels of deposits is an important objective to the Company as part of an overall management program to obtain funding sources for earning assets and maintain adequate levels of liquidity. The Company did not have any brokered accounts during the first three quarters of 1996 and 1995. The Company has no foreign deposits. 	Total deposits decreased $8,445,000 or 4.2 percent to $192,395,000 as of September 30, 1996, from $200,840,000 at December 31, 1995. Non interest bearing deposits increased $1,229,000, or 4.0 percent, as of September 30, 1996 from year-end 1995. Interest bearing deposits declined $9,674,000 or 5.7 percent for the same period. These expected decreases were primarily the result of lower public fund deposits following the year-end 1995 property tax collections which were distributed shortly thereafter to various government agencies in early January 1996 and seasonal fluctuations in each deposit category. Capital 	Shareholders' equity increased $987,000 to $17,990,000 at September 30, 1996 from December 31, 1995, due to earnings for the period of $1,768,000 less $424,000 in dividends declared and a $357,000 adjustment due to the after income tax effects of unrealized losses on investment securities. 	The Company and First National are subject to the regulatory risk-based capital guidelines. The applicable risk-based capital ratios are as follows: Regulatory First National Bankshares, Inc. 	 09-30-96 	 12-31-95 Minimums Tier 1 Capital/Risk Weighted Assets Ratio 14.27% 	 14.14% 	 4.00% Total Capital/Risk Weighted Assets Ratio 	 15.52% 	 15.39% 8.00% Leverage Ratio 	 8.48% 	 8.04% 	 3.00% Regulatory First National Bank of Houma 	 09-30-96 	 12-31-95 	 Minimums Tier 1 Capital/Risk Weighted Assets Ratio 14.17% 	 14.02% 4.00% Total Capital/Risk Weighted Assets Ratio 	 15.42% 	 15.27% 8.00% Leverage Ratio 	 8.42% 	 7.98% 	 3.00% 	In January of 1996, the Company paid a $.06 per common share dividend previously declared in December of 1995. In February of 1996, the Company declared a $.07 per common share dividend paid in April of 1996. In May of 1996 the Company declared an additional dividend of $.07 per common share payable in July of 1996. In August of 1996, the Company declared a dividend of $.07 per common share payable in October of 1996. LIQUIDITY AND ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT 	The Company has identified approximately $64,000,000 in securities which it classified as Available-for-Sale under the provisions of SFAS 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" which are carried in the consolidated balance sheets at net realizable value. In management's opinion, the combination of these investment securities, in conjunction with other liquid assets and arranged borrowing lines with financial institutions, is adequate to meet all potential funding needs of the Company. At September 30, 1996, the Bank borrowed $5,000,000 in partially secured short term funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank to meet these temporary needs. 	The Company recognizes the potential impact on earnings given changes in market interest rate conditions. This interest sensitivity is monitored closely by management.
