WHITNEY HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

                  Whitney  Holding   Corporation  and  its   subsidiaries   (the
"Company") follow accounting and reporting  policies  generally  accepted within
the banking  industry.  Pursuant to rules and  regulations of the Securities and
Exchange  Commission,  certain  financial  information and disclosures have been
condensed  or  omitted  in  preparing  the  consolidated   financial  statements
presented in this  quarterly  report on Form 10-Q. The Company  recommends  that
these  financial  statements be read in  conjunction  with the Company's  annual
report on Form 10-KA for the year ended December 31, 1995.

CONSOLIDATION

    The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of
Whitney Holding Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,  Whitney National
Bank, Whitney Bank of Alabama and Whitney Community Development Corporation. All
adjustments have been made which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to
fairly state the financial results for the interim periods presented.

RESTATEMENT AND RECLASSIFICATION

    Prior  period  information  has been  restated  to give  effect  to a merger
completed in March 1996 which has been  accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Certain  balances in prior periods have been  reclassified  to conform with this
period's financial presentation.

LONG-LIVED OPERATING ASSETS

    Effective for 1996, the Company  adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS") No. 121 which  prescribes  the  accounting for impairment of
long-lived  assets used in  operations,  such as bank  premises  and  equipment,
certain identifiable  intangibles,  and any goodwill related to these assets. In
general,  the statement  requires  recognition  of an  impairment  loss when the
carrying value of these assets exceeds the undiscounted  cash flows estimated to
be  derived  from the use of the  assets.  The  statement  also  prescribes  the
accounting  to be followed  when an entity  plans to dispose of such  long-lived
assets.  Adoption of this statement had no material  effect on the  consolidated
financial statements.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

    SFAS No. 123,  "Accounting for Stock-based  Compensation,"  became effective
for 1996. Among other provisions,  this statement established a fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based compensation,  including the award of stock
options.  As provided  for in SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected not to adopt
the fair value based method for measuring  stock-based  compensation  cost to be
included  in its  results  of  operations,  but will  continue  to follow  prior
generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  Beginning  with  the  consolidated
financial  statements  for the year ending  December 31, 1996,  the Company will
make pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share determined as if
the fair value  method had been applied in  measuring  stock-based  compensation
cost.

(2) MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

    During April 1996, the Company entered into separate agreements and plans of
merger with the American Bank & Trust  ("AB&T") of  Pensacola,  Florida and with
Liberty Holding Company ("LHC"),  the parent of Liberty Bank, also of Pensacola,
Florida.  AB&T, with assets of $60 million, and Liberty Bank, with assets of $51
million, will be merged into a newly-chartered national bank to be formed by the
Company in Florida.  Each of these  mergers is intended to qualify as a tax-free
reorganization  and to be accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Shareholders
of  AB&T  will  receive  Whitney  Holding  Corporation  stock  with  a  value of
approximately  $10.25  million  and LHC  shareholders will receive approximately
$14.0 million  in  Company  common  stock,  with  each total  subject to certain
adjustments.  Shareholders  of AB&T  and LHC must  each approve their respective
transaction. Consummation of each transaction is also subject to  approval  from
appropriate  regulatory  agencies,  a due diligence  review by the Company,  and
other customary conditions to closing. The mergers  are expected to be completed
during the third quarter of 1996.

    On March 8, 1996,  Whitney  Holding  Corporation  completed  its merger with
First Citizens BancStock ("FCB"),  the parent of First National Bank in St. Mary
Parish  ("FNB").  FNB,  which was merged into Whitney  National  Bank, had total
assets of approximately $243 million, including $147 million in loans, and total
deposits of $214 million at the closing  date.  FCB  shareholders  received 2.03
million shares of Whitney Holding  Corporation  common stock with a market value
at the time of approximately $63 million. Holders of FCB stock options as of the
closing received options to buy  approximately  192,000 shares of Company common
stock at a  weighted-averaged  exercise  price of  $11.64.  The  merger has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests.

    On  February  17,  1995,  Whitney  Bank  of  Alabama,  a  then  newly-formed
state-chartered  banking  subsidiary  of the Company,  purchased  the assets and
assumed the deposit liabilities of the five Mobile branch offices of The Peoples
Bank,  Elba,  Alabama.   The  assets  acquired  and  deposits  assumed  totalled
approximately  $90 million,  including $47 million in loans.  The purchase price
was  approximately  $12 million.  Operating results from the date of acquisition
are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations beginning
in the first quarter of 1995.

    In  January,  1996,  the  Company  announced  negotiations  to enter  into a
definitive  merger  agreement with New Iberia Bancorp,  parent of The New Iberia
Bank. On July 16, 1996, the Company announced that these merger  discussions had
been  terminated  because  of  the  parties'  inability  to  negotiate  mutually
acceptable terms.

(3)  EARNINGS PER SHARE

    Earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares
outstanding  during each period  presented.  Potentially  dilutive  common stock
equivalents consist of stock options which have been granted to certain officers
and  directors in current and prior  periods.  Incorporating  these common stock
equivalents into the calculation of earnings per share using the treasury method
yields the same result on either a primary or fully-diluted basis.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

    Whitney Holding  Corporation  earned $10.0 million for the second quarter of
1996 or $0.59 per share. For the second quarter of 1995, the Company earned $9.0
million or $0.53 per share.  Year-to-date  through  June 30,  1996,  the Company
earned $18.1 million or $1.06 per share, including the effect of $2.3 million in
after-tax expenses related to a merger completed in March 1996. Before deducting
the tax-effected merger expenses,  the Company earned $20.3 million or $1.19 per
share for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  For the first six months of 1995,
the Company earned $17.9 or $1.06 per share.

    Taxable-equivalent  net  interest  income  increased  $1.9  million  or 5.4%
between  the  second  quarters  of 1995  and  1996,  despite  a  decline  in the
taxable-equivalent net interest margin from 4.92% to 4.73%.  Non-interest income
improved  by $0.8  million or 9.1% in the  second  quarter of 1996 from the same
period in 1995, while non-interest  expense increased a moderate $0.6 million or
2.1% between these periods.

    For the first six months of 1996,  taxable-equivalent  net  interest  income
increased $4.2 million or 6.0%. Between these periods the taxable-equivalent net
interest  margin declined from 4.97% to 4.74%.  Non-interest  income for the six
months ended June 30, 1996  increased  $0.8 million or 4.8% over the same period
in 1995.  Year-to-date  non-interest  expense for 1996 increased $4.4 million or
7.4% over  1995  largely  as a result of  completed  merger  expenses  totalling
approximately $2.8 million.

    The following compares the annualized return on average total assets and the
return on average shareholders' equity for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

                                                      1996                1995

    Non-performing assets decreased $0.3 million in the first six months of 1996
from year end 1995 to $14.2 million at June 30, 1996. This total is $5.9 million
or 30% below the level of  non-performing  assets at June 30, 1995.  The reserve
for possible  loan losses was $40.2  million on June 30,  1996,  an amount which
represented 392% of non-performing loans, 499% of non-accrual loans  and 2.4% of
total loans. At year end 1995, the reserve  coverage was 405% of  non-performing
loans and 2.5% of total loans.

    For the second quarter of 1996, average earning assets were $3.14 billion, a
net increase of $287 million or 10.1% from $2.85  billion in the second  quarter
of 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996,  average earning assets grew to
$3.13  billion  from $2.83  billion for the same period in 1995,  an increase of
$296  million  or 10.4%.  Average  loans  outstanding  grew $375  million or 29%
between the second quarters of 1995 and 1996 and $390 million or 31% between the
year-to-date  periods.  The growth in the loan  portfolio  was partly  funded by
maturities  of  investment  securities  and  the  total  average  investment  in
securities in 1996  decreased $77 million for the second quarter and $91 million
for the year-to-date period as compared to 1995. At June 30, 1996 earning assets
totalled $3.09 billion compared to $3.05 billion at December 31, 1995.

    Average total deposits  increased $115 million or 4.4% in the second quarter
of 1996 to $2.73  billion when  compared to the total of $2.61 billion in 1995's
second quarter. For the year-to-date period,  average deposits grew $124 million
or 4.8% in 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  Total deposits at June 30,
1996 were $2.71  billion,  a moderate  decrease  from $2.78  million at year end
1995. Short term funds obtained through  purchases of federal funds and sales of
securities under repurchase agreements,  net of federal funds sold, increased on
average by $154 million or 106% for the second  quarter of 1996 and $143 million
for the  year-to-date  period when  compared to 1995.  The  increases in average
total  deposits  and  average  short-term  borrowings  from  1995 to  1996  both
supported the growth in average loans between these same periods.

    On March 8, 1996,  the  Company  completed  its merger  with First  Citizens
BancStock,  the parent of The First  National  Bank in St. Mary Parish  ("FNB").
FNB,  which  was  merged  into  Whitney  National  Bank,  had  total  assets  of
approximately $243 million,  including $147 million in loans, and total deposits
of $214  million at the closing  date.  The merger has been  accounted  for as a
pooling of interests and prior period  information  has been restated to present
the combined financial results.

    In April 1996, the Company  announced it had entered into merger  agreements
with two banking  institutions  operating in Florida,  one with  American Bank &
Trust of  Pensacola,  Florida  ("AB&T")  and one with  Liberty  Holding  Company
("LHC"), the parent of Liberty Bank, also of Pensacola.  These institutions have
combined assets of approximately $111 million and operate five banking locations
in  the  Pensacola   area.   AB&T  and  Liberty  Bank  will  be  merged  into  a
newly-chartered  national  bank to be  formed by the  Company  in  Florida.  The
Company will issue common stock with an approximate value of $24.15  million  in
connection  with these  transactions,  subject to certain  adjustments.  Each of
these mergers will be accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Consummation  of
each  transaction is subject to the approval of respective  shareholders of AB&T
or LHC, approval from appropriate regulatory agencies, a due diligence review by
the Company, and other customary conditions to closing. The mergers are expected
to be completed during the third quarter of 1996.

    In  January,  1996,  the  Company  announced  negotiations  to enter  into a
definitive  merger  agreement with New Iberia Bancorp,  parent of The New Iberia
Bank. On July 16, 1996, the Company announced that these merger  discussions had
been  terminated  because  of  the  parties'  inability  to  negotiate  mutually
acceptable terms.

    In the second quarter of 1996, the Company  declared a dividend of $0.25 per
share  payable July 1, 1996.  This  represents a 13.6%  increase  over the first
quarter  1996  dividend of $0.22 and a 25.0%  increase  over the $0.20 per share
dividend declared in each of 1995's first three quarters.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans

    The Company experienced growth in average loans outstanding  of $375 million
or 29% for the second  quarter of 1996 and $390 million  or 31% for the year-to-
date period when compared to the  same periods in 1995.  Total loans outstanding
of $1.69 billion at June 30, 1996 were  $104 million above the total outstanding
at  year  end  1995.  The  Company's  loan  growth reflects  both  the continued
favorable economic conditions  in the Company's market area,  which is primarily
southern Louisiana,  Mississippi  and  Alabama,  as well  as a focused effort to
market the Banks' retail and commercial loan products.

    All categories of loans  experienced solid growth from the second quarter of
1995 to the second quarter of 1996.  Commercial loans,  other than those secured
by real  estate,  increased  approximately  $130 million or 22% between 1995 and
1996.  Loans  secured  by  commercial  and  other  non-residential  real  estate
collateral  increased  approximately  $107  million  or 26%.  Loans to  entities
involved in  manufacturing  and  wholesaling  exhibited  the  strongest  growth,
although the overall  increase  was well  distributed  over diverse  industries.
Retail mortgages grew by approximately $98 million or 61% between these periods,
largely as a result of the  successful  promotion  of new retail loan  products,
while loans to  individuals,  which include  various  consumer  installment  and
credit line loan products, increased $16 million or approximately 15%.

Deposits and Short-Term Borrowings

    The Company's average deposits increased $115 million or 4.4% for the second
quarter  of 1996 and $124  million or 4.8% for the first six months of 1996 when
compared   to  the   same   periods   in   1995.   As  is   shown  in  Table  1,
non-interest-bearing  demand  deposits  increased  $25  million  or 3.1% for the
second  quarter  and $28  million or 3.6% year to date in 1996.  This table also
shows  that  average  time  deposits,  which  includes  both core  deposits  and
certificates  of deposit of $100,000 and over,  increased  $132 million or 18.2%
between the second  quarters of 1995 and 1996 and $153 million or 21.9%  between
the year-to-date  periods. The growth within the time deposit category came both
from core  deposits  of under  $100,000,  which  increased  $35  million for the
quarter  and $55  million  year to date,  and from  certificates  of  deposit of
$100,000  and  over,  which  had a  quarterly  increase  of  $89  million  and a
year-to-date  increase  of  $91  million.  All  of the  Company's  market  areas
experienced increases in the time deposit category.

    Second  quarter  average  savings,  NOW and money  market  account  deposits
decreased $41 million or 3.4% between 1995 and 1996. For the first six months of
1996 the  decrease in these  deposit  categories  from their 1995 levels was $57
million or 5.2%.  Despite a moderate  decline in market  interest  rates  during
1995,  higher-rate  investment  alternatives  were available to these lower-cost
depositors during the past year which fostered disintermediation of some deposit
funds.


                               Page 10 of 21 Pages

<PAGE>
    The Company's  short-term  borrowings  consist of purchases of federal funds
and sales of securities under repurchase agreements.  Such borrowings are both a
source of funding  for certain  short-term  lending  facilities  and part of the
Company's services to correspondent  banks and certain other customers.  For the
second quarter of 1996,  average  short-term  borrowings  increased $144 million
compared  to the same  period in 1995.  Year to date in 1996,  the  increase  in
average  short-term   borrowings  was  $141  million.  The  rise  in  short-term
borrowings is partly  attributable to the promotion of repurchase  agreements in
connection  with an  expansion  of the  Banks'  cash  management  services.  The
Company's average short-term borrowing position,  net of federal funds sold, was
$300  million  for the  second  quarter  and $293  million  year to date in 1996
compared to $145 million and $150 million, respectively, in 1995.

Investment in Securities

    The Company's  total  investment in securities was $1.40 billion at June 30,
1996, a decrease of approximately $42 million or 2.9% from the December 31, 1995
total of $1.44  billion.  The  average  total  investment  securities  portfolio
outstanding decreased $76 million or 5.0% between the second quarter of 1995 and
the second  quarter of 1996 and $91  million or 5.8%  between  the  year-to-date
periods.   Funds  from  maturing   investments,   particularly  U.  S.  Treasury
securities,  have been used to  satisfy  increased  loan  demand  between  these
periods.

    The mix of average  investments has remained  relatively stable,  with U. S.
Treasury and government agency  securities,  excluding  mortgage-backed  issues,
representing  between  74%  and 80% of the  totals  and  mortgage-backed  issues
representing  between  10% and 17% of  total  securities.  The  weighted-average
maturity of the overall  portfolio of securities  was 30 months at June 30, 1996
as  compared  with 25  months  at June  30,  1995.  As is  shown in Table 1, the
weighted-average  taxable-equivalent  portfolio yields were 6.11% for the second
quarter of 1996 and 6.08% for the  year-to-date  period.  These yields represent
increases  of 23 and 21 basis  points,  respectively,  over the yields  realized
during the comparable periods in 1995.

    Securities classified as available for sale constituted  approximately 9% of
the total  investment  portfolio  at June 30,  1996  compared to 13% at year end
1995.  These  securities  are  reported  at their  estimated  fair values in the
consolidated  statements of condition with the unrealized gain or loss reported,
net of tax, as a separate  component  of  shareholders'  equity.  The  remaining
portfolio  securities  are  classified  as held to maturity  and are reported at
amortized  cost.  In the second  quarter of 1996,  approximately  $12 million of
securities  that  had  been  classified  by  FNB  as  available  for  sale  were
transferred to the held  to maturity category in  accordance with the investment
policies and  practices  of the  combined institution after  FNB was merged into
Whitney National Bank in March 1996.  This transfer was recorded at fair  value.
The unrealized  gains and losses at the transfer date, which are included net of
tax as a component of shareholders'  equity,  were  insignificant.  The  Company
maintains no trading portfolio.

Asset Quality

    Overall asset quality exhibited a trend of steady  improvement over the past
several  years.  As is shown in Table 3, for the first six  months in 1996 total
non-performing assets decreased $0.3 million from year end 1995 to $14.2 million
at June  30,  1996.  This  total  is $5.9  million  or 30%  below  the  level of
non-performing  assets at June 30, 1995.  The Company  recovered $1.4 million of
previously charged-off loans in the second quarter of 1996 and $4.3 million year
to date through June 30, 1996. As is shown in Table 2, over the same periods the
Company identified $2.6 million and $3.4 million,  respectively,  of loans to be
charged off as  uncollectible  against the reserve  for  possible  loan  losses,
resulting  in a net  charge off for the second  quarter  of $1.2  million  and a
year-to-date net recovery of $0.9

                               Page 11 of 21 Pages

<PAGE>
million.  The Company was in a net recovery  position for each of the comparable
periods in 1995 totalling $1.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

    The reserve for possible loan losses is  maintained  at a level  believed by
management  to be  adequate  to absorb  potential  losses in the  portfolio.  No
provision or reserve  reduction  was required for the second  quarter or year to
date in 1996.  The  small  addition  to the  reserve  in each of the  first  two
quarters in 1995 reflects a provision  recorded by the pooled  institution.  The
reserve for possible loan losses  represented  392% of  non-performing  loans at
June  30,  1996 and 2.4% of total  loans  on this  date.  At year end 1995  this
reserve coverage was 405% of non-performing loans and 2.5% of total loans.

    Whitney  National Bank has several  property  interests  which were acquired
through  routine  banking  transactions  generally  prior to 1933 and  which are
recorded in its financial  records at a nominal  value.  Management  continually
investigates  ways to maximize  the return on these  assets.  The net  operating
income from these property  interests,  primarily from oil and gas royalties and
real estate operations,  was approximately  $269,000 for the first six months of
1996, including  approximately  $54,000 in the second quarter, and approximately
$83,000 for the first six months of 1995.  Future  dispositions  of these assets
may result in the recognition of substantial gains.

Capital Adequacy

    The Company's regulatory risk-based capital ratios declined slightly between
December  31, 1995 and June 30, 1996,  while its  leverage  ratio showed a small
increase.  Contributing to the decrease in the risk-based  ratios was a shift in
the asset mix to loans which are generally assigned a risk-weighting higher than
for investment securities in the capital ratio calculation.

    The  Company's  regulatory  capital  ratios are shown here  compared  to the
minimums   currently   required  for  regulatory   classification   as  a  "well
capitalized" institution.  The regulatory capital ratios for the Banks were also
well in excess of minimum requirements at June 30, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

    Taxable-equivalent  net  interest  income  increased  $1.9  million  or 5.4%
between  the  second  quarters  of 1995 and 1996,  despite a decline  in the net
interest  margin  from  4.92%  to  4.73%.  For the  first  six  months  of 1996,
taxable-equivalent net interest income increased $4.4 million or 6.0%, while the
net interest  margin  declined  from 4.97% to 4.74%.  A  combination  of factors
contributed to these changes, the components of which are detailed in Table 1.

    Taxable-equivalent  loan interest income increased $5.7 million or 19.1% for
the second  quarter and $13.8  million or 24.2% for the first six months of 1996
when compared to 1995.  These  increases  were driven  entirely by the growth in
average loans  outstanding  between 1995 and 1996,  which  totalled $375 for the
second  quarter and $390 million year to date.  The increase in interest  income
from loan  growth  was  partially  offset by the  impact  of a  decrease  in the
quarterly and  year-to-date  effective  loan yields in 1996 as compared to 1995.
For the second  quarter,  the effective yield decreased 73 basis points to 8.62%
in 1996 from 9.35% in 1995. For the year-to-date  period, the yield decreased 56
basis points, to 8.72% in 1996 from 9.28% in 1995.

    The  decreases  in the  effective  loan  yields  reflect  both the impact of
variable and short-term fixed-rate loans repricing in a moderating interest rate
environment as well as some increase in  competitive  pressure on the pricing of
loans to new and existing  relationships.  Market  interest  rates trended lower
throughout  1995 and early  1996,  although  there has been some  firming in the
second  quarter  of  1996.   Over  this  period,   bank  prime  rates  decreased
approximately  75 basis points.  Approximately  one-third of the Company's  loan
portfolio reprices with changes in prime.

    Taxable-equivalent  interest  income on  investments  securities  for 1996's
second  quarter  decreased $0.3 million or 1.2% from the second quarter of 1995.
For the first six months of 1996,  the  decrease in  investment  income was $1.1
million or 2.2% from 1995. These decreases are consistent with reductions in the
average  investment  in  securities  between 1995 and 1996,  which  totalled $77
million for the quarter and $91 million for the year-to-date period.  Because of
its  maturity  structure  the  effective  yield  on  the  Company's   investment
securities  portfolio  is not as  immediately  responsive  to rising or  falling
market rates as are its loan  yields.  Because of this and with the modest shift
in the portfolio mix toward  mortgage-backed  issues and from U. S. Treasury and
government agency  securities,  the effective  portfolio yield was 6.11% for the
second quarter of 1996, an increase of 23 basis points from a yield of 5.88% for
the second quarter of 1996.  Year to date, the increase was 21 basis points,  to
6.08% in 1996 from 5.87% in 1995.

    The net increase in taxable-equivalent interest income between 1995 and 1996
was $5.2 million or 9.8% for the second  quarter and $12.4  million or 12.0% for
the first six months.  The overall effective  earning-asset  yield in the second
quarter of 1996 was 7.43%,  unchanged  from the same  period in 1995,  while the
year-to-date effective yield increased slightly to 7.45% from 7.39% in 1995.

    Interest expense increased $3.3 million or 18.4% in 1996's second quarter as
compared to the same period in 1995.  Year-to-date interest expense through June
30, 1996 also  increased  over the  comparable  1995 period,  by $8.3 million or
24.3%. These increases reflect in part the impact of the growth in average total
interest-bearing  liabilities between these periods, which totalled $235 million
for the second  quarter and $237  million  year to date.  These  increases  also
reflect  the rate  structures  of the  markets  in which  the  Company  has made
acquisitions since the  beginning  of 1995 and a shift in the deposit mix toward
time deposits, a shift which is also partly attributable to recent acquisitions.
The overall  cost of funds rate on  interest-bearing  liabilities  was 3.81% for
both the second quarter and first six months of 1996. This represents  increases
of 22 and 37 basis  points,  respectively,  compared  to 3.59% in 1995's  second
quarter and 3.44% for the year-to-date period.

Other Income and Expense

    Non-interest income,  adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of foreclosed
real estate and other foreclosed assets, increased $302 thousand or 3.8% to $8.3
million in the second  quarter of 1996 from $8.0  million in the same  period of
1995. Year to date, adjusted non-interest income increased $504 thousand or 3.1%
to $16.8  million  compared  with $16.3  million for 1995.  Income from  service
charges on deposit accounts,  which accounted for approximately half of adjusted
non-interest income in each of these periods, decreased by $230 thousand or 5.3%
for the  second  quarter  of 1996  and $450  thousand  or 5.1%  year-to-date  as
compared to 1995,  primarily  because of a decrease in fees  charged to business
related  accounts.  The  reduction  in  the  Company's  FDIC  deposit  insurance
premiums,  as  discussed  below,  led to a reduction  in the  deposit  insurance
assessment on business  accounts and was partly  responsible for the decrease in
business account service fee income.

    The Company  continued to expand its automated teller facilities during 1995
and the first six months of 1996.  Fees generated from ATM operations  increased
$141 thousand or 47% for the second quarter of 1996 and $293 thousand or 51% for
the  year-to-date  period over the  comparable  periods in 1995. Fee income from
credit card related operations increased between these periods,  reflecting both
economic  conditions as well as successful  marketing  efforts.  Income from the
Company's  secondary  mortgage  loan  operations  also was  higher in the second
quarter  and  first  six  months  of 1996  reflecting  in part a more  favorable
interest  rate  environment  during these  periods than during the first half of
1995.

    Non-interest  operating expenses were $30.3 million in the second quarter of
1996,  which  represents an increase of $628 thousand or 2.1% over 1996's second
quarter  total of $29.7  million.  For the  year-to-date  period in 1996,  total
non-interest  expenses were $63.2  million,  including  $2.8 million in expenses
related to a completed merger in the first quarter.  This is an increase of $4.4
million or 7.4% over the 1995 total of $58.8 million.

    Salaries and employee benefits expense totalled $15.7 million for the second
quarter of 1996  compared to $14.7  million for the second  quarter of 1995,  an
increase of $0.9 million or 6.4%. For the first six months of 1996, salaries and
employee  benefits expense  increased $2.7 million or 9.2% to $32.5 million from
$29.8 million in 1995.  Approximately $0.8 million of the year-to-date  increase
relates to  nonrecurring  personnel costs incurred in connection with the merger
completed in March 1996. An additional $0.4 million of this comparative increase
was related to the new banking  operations  opened in Alabama in mid-February of
1995.  The  remaining  year-to-date  increase  of $1.5  million  or 5.0% and the
quarterly  increase  noted above are  attributable  to regular merit  increases,
staff additions and various employee and management benefits and incentives.

    Non-interest expenses other than  personnel-related  expenses decreased $0.3
million or 2.1%  between  the second  quarter of 1995 and the second  quarter of
1996. Year to date, excluding  approximately $2.0 million in expenses related to
the completed merger in 1996, these expenses decreased $0.4 million or 1.2% from
the comparable period in 1995.

    The  dramatic  decrease in  the premium  charged for FDIC deposit  insurance
during the second half of 1995 led to  reduction in the  Company's  1996 deposit
insurance expense as compared to 1995 of $1.5 million for the second quarter and
$2.9 million year to date. Occupancy expense increased $428 thousand or 22.7% in
the  second  quarter  of 1996 and $653  thousand  or 17.3% for the  year-to-date
period reflecting both the expansion of the Company's branch network,  primarily
in the south Alabama  market,  and the ongoing program to upgrade the appearance
and functionality of its administrative  offices and a significant number of the
Company's  existing  branches.  Enhancements  to the Company's  data  processing
systems  and  automation  capabilities  during  1995  and  1996  as  well as the
continuing   expansion  of  its  ATM  network  contributed  to  an  increase  of
approximately  $300  thousand  or 12% for the  second  quarter  of 1996 and $600
thousand  or 11% for the first six months in the  expense  for  furnishings  and
equipment.  Various  other expense  categories  increased in 1996 as compared to
1995 by a total of approximately $500

                               Page 14 of 21 Pages

<PAGE>
thousand for the second  quarter and $1.3 million for the  year-to-date  period,
including a $200 thousand increase related to certain legal settlements.

Income Taxes

    The Company provided for income taxes at an overall  effective rate of 31.5%
for the  quarter  and 31.2% year to date in 1996 as compared to 29.4% and 30.4%,
respectively,  for the same periods in 1995. The effective  rates in each period
differ from the statutory rate of 35% primarily because of the tax exempt income
earned on investments in state and municipal obligations.


LIQUIDITY AND OTHER MATTERS

Liquidity

    The  Company  and the Banks  manage  liquidity  to ensure  their  ability to
satisfy  customer  demand  for  credit,  to fund  deposit  withdrawals,  to meet
operating and other corporate  obligations,  and to take advantage of investment
opportunities,  all in a timely and cost-effective manner. Traditionally,  these
liquidity  needs have been met by maintaining a strong base of core deposits and
by carefully managing the maturity structure of the investment  portfolios.  The
funds provided by current  operations and forecasts of loan  repayments are also
considered in the liquidity management process.

    The Banks enter into short-term borrowing arrangements by purchasing federal
funds and selling  securities under repurchase  agreements,  both as a source of
funding for certain short-term lending facilities and as part of its services to
correspondent  banks and certain  other  customers.  Neither the Company nor the
Banks have accessed long-term debt markets as part of liquidity management.

    Average core  deposits,  defined as all deposits other than time deposits of
$100,000 or more,  increased $18 million for the second  quarter of 1996 and $26
million for the  year-to-date  period compared to the same periods in 1995. Core
deposits  comprised  approximately  86% of total  average  deposits for the 1996
period and 89% of total average deposits in 1995.

    As of June 30, 1996,  approximately  $365 million or 29% of the portfolio of
investment  securities held to maturity was scheduled to mature within one year.
An additional $129 million of investment  securities was classified as available
for  sale  at  the  end  of  1996's  second   quarter,   although   management's
determination  of this  classification  does not derive primarily from liquidity
considerations.

    The Banks had  approximately  $961  million  in  unfunded  loan  commitments
outstanding  at June 30,  1996,  an increase  of $47  million  from the level at
December 31, 1995. Contingent  obligations under letters of credit and financial
guarantees increased moderately between these dates to a total of $83 million at
June 30, 1996. Available credit card lines were $37 million at June 30, 1996, an
increase  of $6  million  from  year  end  1995.  Draws  under  these  financial
commitments  should  not place any  unusual  strain on the  Company's  liquidity
position.
